Shruti's POV
I stirred as the morning sun cast its bright light across my face. I sighed and turned my face to the side but the light would not go away. Frowning, I threw my hands over my face to shield my eyes. I wanted to get up to pull the curtain back to block the sunlight. But I could not even move at all.
But why???
I tried my level best but I could not move. It seemed that a heavy weight was lying on me. I groaned and tried to open my eyes.
Oh my God!! My head was hurting like hell.
What was wrong with me? I looked around and was shocked to see myself in a strange room. It looked like a hotel room.
Oh my God?? Where was I ??
Pain shot through my head. I gave out a hiss of distress. I was shocked at what I saw.
I realised that someone was holding me tightly. I saw a man's arm around my waist and one of his legs was stretched over my legs. I was scared to death. I jerked away from that person.
But he was holding me so I almost shrieked and pushed him with all the strength in my body.
Oh God, who was he? I swallowed dryly, then run the tip of my tongue over my lips.
I turned to look at his face and saw that it was Siddharth. I took a deep breath. But still, what was he doing here?
Last night's memories were blurred. I don't know why but I didn't remember anything I could recall only bits and pieces of the night. I remembered going into the washroom to clean that stain off the dress.
I didn't remember much. But I got out of bed and was shocked to see myself.
What the hell !!!
I was wearing only a man's shirt. Shirt?? How?? Why?? Shit!!
What was going on? What happened last night?
I shook him hard. He opened his eyes but he also seemed to be facing the same problem. He looked confused to see me.
" Shruti??? What are you doing here ?? Am I dreaming?? " He said in a sleep roughened voice.
" Siddharth!!! Get up !! " I shouted at him. But he didn't move. So I shook him again.
" Oh my God, my head is hurting. " He said and tried to get up.
" Oh my God!! " I closed my eyes and turned my back towards him, when he removed the blanket and got out from the bed.
" What happened ?? " he asked.
" Why are you not wearing clothes?? What did you do?? " He was only in his shorts. I was shocked as hell.
" What?? " He opened his eyes with difficulty. He was shocked to see both of us.
Did we?? Oh No !!!
I was about to cry any minute now.
" Shruti, listen... " He tried to come near me. But I started hitting him.
" No !! Don't come near me. How could you? " I was crying like anything.
" I don't know... I don't remember anything. " He said rubbing his head.
" Shit, even I can't remember anything. All I can recall is just that I started feeling uncomfortable in the washroom and I literally dragged myself out and I fainted."
" It seemed that we drank something wrong. "
" I hate you... How can you?? I trust you... I mean, I trusted you. What did we do?? This is not right. How will I face my family?? "
" Calm down!! I don't remember anything. But even if we made love, then also it is ok, we will get married as soon as possible. I will talk to my Bhai or dad and fix everything. "
" How can you say that is ok?? That is not ok. Why did we stay in this room?? Why didn't we go back to Maurvi's place?
" I don't remember."
" How can you be so irresponsible?? Did you drink too much at the party last night?? " I was crying bitterly.
He pulled me in his arms. I kept hitting him but he held me tightly.
" I am sorry Shruti, I don't know, what happened? But I will take full responsibility for what happened. Let me talk to my parents. "
" But It is not right. " I cried while he tried to soothe me.
We were discussing all this when the doorbell rang. We were not dressed up to open the door.
I was wearing his shirt. Where was my dress??
" Who is outside?? How can we open the door like this?? " I asked and he rushed to the washroom and wore the bathrobe and came out.
" Go inside the washroom and come out only when I ask you to. " He said and I nodded.
I went inside the bathroom and cried again.
" Shruti?? Come out !! " I heard Maurvi's voice. I was glad as well as embarrassed. How would I face her??
" Hmmm " I said and went out.
" What happened?? Why are you Crying? "
" Nothing... " I said and tried to control but tears started flowing out of my eyes.
" It's ok, don't worry. Now tell me what happened?? " Maurvi said.
" That is the problem... We don't know. We don't remember anything at all. "
" What?? How is that possible?? How can you be so irresponsible?? What if she gets... " Maurvi said.
" What ?? Oh, God !! " I was shocked at what she said.
" Please don't worry. We both love each other so it is not a problem. I think we must talk to dad, only he can tackle it now. "
" Yes, when he assumed that I was... He said he would take care of everything, so we must talk to him. "
" But what would he think about us?? Me? How will I face your parents and mine? We should not have crossed that line. My parents will kill me. "
" I will not let anyone, even touch you. Even if we crossed the line, please don't worry. We didn't do anything intentionally. Please relax. Maurvi, you need to help me. " He said.
" In what?? "
” Talking to dad. "
" Why me?? Why can't you tell him? How can I ?? "
" Please... "
" Ok fine. "
" Hey, by the way, how did you find out us? " he asked her.
" Gautam called me and said that you need my help. He also asked me to get a set of clothes for her. Here it is. " She said.
" Bhai ?? He called you?? How does he know?? What is going on? " Siddharth said.
" I also got 3 missed calls from your number. But I seemed to have slipped into my deep sleep. " Maurvi said. Everything was so confusing.
Siddharth was holding his head and all of a sudden he became very angry as if he recalled something. We asked him what happened but he ignored it. He was really angry.
" Let me call Bhai. " He said and called him. I went to take a quick shower and changed into my clothes.
But I was shocked to see a few scratches on my arms and neck. I came out and fresh tears rolled out of my eyes.
Maurvi hugged me and asked what happened, I told her. She hugged me and said that everything will be fine.
He was still talking on the phone and he was fuming like anything.
" I don't remember anything at all. Just a few hazy flashes. Even she can't recall anything....... What?? This is too much Bhai..... What else did Parth tell you??.... Ok, I will talk to him. Yeah, she is fine, planning my murder... We are not sure what happened between us....." He said in an embarrassed voice.
" The problem is that I can't remember much. Just a few random flashes are coming. But, I am sure, nothing happened... Ok. Bye, I am counting on you. " He disconnected the call. He went into the washroom and changed his clothes.
" What did he say?? " Maurvi asked as soon as he came out.
" Wait !! He said I will recall everything soon. let me talk to Parth, he knows everything. " He said and called him.
Siddharth was so furious to hear everything, he cursed a few times.
" Wait ?? I am coming, I am going to kill him. How dare he ??..... What?? I will kill both of them. Will call you back. " He said and punched the wall.
" Siddharth!! " Both Maurvi and I rushed to him. I caught his hand and saw that it had become red.
" What are you doing??" I asked him but he was fuming and he pulled his hand back and was going out when Maurvi and I held him again.
" Where are you going?? I can't allow you to go out. Let me talk to Gautam first. " She said.
" Leave me Maurvi, get out of my way, I will kill that man... I never liked him. How can he do all that?? " He pulled his hand out of her grip.
" What did they do?? Who are they? " I asked but was scared to know the answers.
But Siddharth was like a raging bull. He pushed his hand through his hair. He was going to open the door but Maurvi pulled him again.
" Siddharth, you can't go anywhere, you are very angry, It is dangerous. You recalled something, didn't you? Tell us everything. "
