Chapter 4 - The Next Step

Vihaan was ecstatic and he left the pool area and went towards the room. The room was all messy, Naman and Raghav were laying in the bed, Mohit was on the sofa, the luggages were all messed-up, the clothes were over the study table, 3 champagne bottles were laying over the mattress, the swim suits were thrown in the lounge, the towels were in the floor. Vihaan was stunned when he saw his room all messed-up. He didn't utter a word neither he woke up anyone. He went straight into the washroom, took a shower, changed into shorts and tees, carried his headphones and went out of the room.

It was about 6'O clock in the evening and Vihaan was over a dilemma about what to do to expunge the boredom. He switched on his phone, opened music and began listening to some random Bollywood songs. He thought to pass some time near the Datta River, which was about 1 kilometer away from the resorts. He began walking through the narrow cemented lanes specifically designed for pedestrians. The weather was quite cool now, slow breezes were blowing near the river. The river had turned reddish-orange due to the setting of the sun. The clouds too had turned somewhat orange. There wasn't any crowd near the river and thus, one can enjoy solitude and can even listen the sound of water. Vihaan went near the river and sat upon a huge rock. He was still listening the songs. It was then, he observed a girl on the other side of the river. It was turning dark and Vihaan was unable to see her face. He went to the suspension bridge and crossed the river. Now he could see the girl. She was in a black bralette and white shorts, had tied her hairs into a low flat twisted bun and she too had pluged her headphones into her ears. As closer as Vihaan moved towards the girl, her face became more clear and it was again Kaushiki.

Vihaan greeted, "Hello Kaushiki!"

Kaushiki replied, "Hey, Vihaan, right?"

"Yeah."

Vihaan questioned, "I think you too were getting bored, isn't it?"

Kaushiki replied, "Yeah, after the pool time, I didn't had anything to do. So, just end up listening songs near the river and enjoying its evening view. I think you are here with some of your friends, where are they?"

"They are all tired and just taking rest."

"Oh! I see. Aren't you tired?"

"I'm. But I'm more excited than tired to enjoy this week over here."

"I think its getting late now, we shouldn't stay here for more. There may be some wild animals over here. Lets move towards the resorts." explained Kaushiki.

Vihaan noded in agreement and they moved towards the resorts.

It was 7'O clock when Vihaan and Kaushiki returned to the resorts. But the condition in the resorts wasn't good at all. Raghav had drunk a lot and ended up fighting with a guy staying in the same resorts. He was a robust, tall and dark guy. He looked perfectly handsome. Kaushiki exclaimed," This is Ranveer and its catastrophic being a rival to him. Let's go and stop them or we shall have to call for an ambulance." Vihaan got worried. He and Kaushiki went to end the so called war of these guys. Kaushiki asked Ranveer to calm down and explained that, Raghav was drunk hard and had no senses whatever he had done.

Ranveer shouted, "Are you crazy, Kaushiki? You won't believe what this guy had done. It's disgusting."

Vihaan begged, "Ranveer, please calm down. Whatever he had done I don't know but please forgive him. I'm begging you a sorry from his side. Please forgive him. He has drunk hard and had no idea what he has done." Saying this Vihaan slapped hard Raghav to which Raghav fell down in the hall. Ranveer forgave him and went out. Raghav was taken to his room by Vihaan and Kaushiki. They took him into the room and laid him down in the bed. Raghav was still murmuring unconsciously.

Vihaan said," Thank you so much, Kaushiki. If you wouldn't have asked Ranveer to forgive this shit (pointing towards Raghav) , he would literally have killed him."

Kaushiki replied," It was my pleasure. I should leave now. I'm quite tired."

Vihaan said," Oh sure. Thanks again."

Kaushiki turned," Hmm." And she went to her room.
