"Do you think, we will have time to dance." Asked Rehaan losing his tie. The whole party were just busy looking after arrangements, from waters to food, dancing to sitting. They checked everything from time to time. Even when the manager assured them, they still were on high alert.
"I am sure that your cousins had planned something to disrupt the party. We need to be prepared Rehaan" said Raghav looking around with keen eyes.
Rehaan noticed his friend expressions and laughed, "you are looking like a soldier on the border with that look rather than being a new year party. I want at least one dance. That Tammana was not a bad option."
Raghav eyed Rehaan 'is he serious?' " I thought you don't like those girls. You were releasing smoke from your ears when I reached there." And then he laughed remembering the scene.
"Man, you should have heard her. Such an arrogance she had, but it doesn't mean I can't dance with her. Just her figure was enough to motivate me, I am sure under the mask she will be one hell of a beauty." Said Rehaan remembering the look of Tammana in his eyes.
Raghav just shook his head, "you shouldn't go for.." But before he could continue they heard the commotion and turned their head towards it.
Two men had cornered a girl and she was shouting to let her go. But before they could move they heard smack, a tight slap was given to the men. They widen their eyes and moved there with wide footsteps.
Tammana looked at the two drunkards who had cornered Meera when was coming back from the restroom. They dare! Her eyes were blazing anger. She slapped both men and stood in between them and Meera.
No one can bully her except me! Hmph, Meera tried to dissuade her by pulling her hands. But she didn't budge. She eyed the man and snorted such a weak person and still dares to hurt her Friend.
The men who were slapped were dumbfounded but then anger rose in them, their eyes and face were red both with embarrassment and anger building in them.
"Who do you think you are?" Shouted the man dressed as an elf. And the other dressed as some king or God knows what tried to hold her hand but she was fast enough to jerk him.
She was about to kick them but those two vampires from before came in between and she glared at them too.
Rehaan just reached there and held the man who was trying to fight with the girl and turned only to see that sliver fairy Tammana again glaring at him. HER AGAIN!!
For a second he doubted is she the one whom his cousins had send to ruin the party. But her anger was looking genuine. He felt awkward under her scrutinising gaze. Like what just happened was his mistake.
He averted his gaze from her and turned to the men who were smelling of alcohol. "Mr Gupta is there any problem I can help with?" He asked politely to solve the matter silently but the girl behind him sneered.
'I am trying to help ok! What with that attitude! This girl sure is crazy.' He eyed her but moved back to the staggering man.
Tammana looked back at Meera, who was looking paler now, what just happened. "Hey, I am here ok. You don't need to fear these hu. These fools. Tell me what happened."
"Nothing, I just want to go home." She replied closing her eyes. But why is she not looking at me? Tammana looked back at the men who were talking.
"This girl just entered the restroom seductively, to get our attention and now when we are giving it to her. She is acting hard to get. Just look at the slut.." But before he could speak more Tammana once again slapped the man.
"How dare you to speak like this about her. It was her first time she came here. So the mistake happened? Did she say she is there to seduce you? Or she offered herself. I am sure she just had tried to go out but you tried to stop her. Apologise now" she said anger blazing her eyes, her voice was up a notch collecting people around.
The buzzing sound started to come from the crowd. People were discussing what happened. A few were just silent as they didn't know the matter. Few were on Meera side as they knew the antiques of drunkards.
But most were supporting Mr Gupta as he was a rich known man in the society. And who would believe that you didn't know the difference between male and female restroom?
Rehaan looked at the crowd collecting there and felt more frustrated now. He did his best but still, the scene is like cold water in his hard work.
Mr Gupta is drunk. And the girl is looking afraid. She was even shivering when they came there. It didn't look like the girl was lying. But what to do now? He ran his hand in the hairs and looked at Raghav for help who was trying to control the crowd.
"Mr Gupta, let this matter go. The girl is not with your attention. There are many who would love your company. A smart man like you don't need to force the girls. Come let me introduce you with some demure girls that suits your status." He said with such a polite and smiling face hoping that the man would follow him and then things would calm down.
"No, the girl need to apologise to me, how dare she to slap me. What does she think of herself?" He glared at Tammana who slapped him twice?
Tammana was already feeling disgusting the way Rehaan was flattering the man. But her temper rose to the core. Apologise and she! She would rather slap the man again. And that s what she tried to do.
"Oh darling, you are here? I was searching for you."
"Darling!"
"Darling!"
