"Happpyyy Birthdayyyy to youuu!" Everyone sang chorously.

As everyone was probably over-enthusiastic and singing happily, I guess I was the only who was freakin' annoyed with that unbearable music.

Seriously?! More than 300 freaking people sang it together and I silently wished not to have a ruptured eardrum.

I was standing in the front row where only Aisha's closest friends were allowed.

I am proud of myself!

As she blew the candles, she murdered the cake. Well, that's what most of the people's Instagram bio says, though it irks me more than spiders.

After giving a piece of cake to aunty and uncle, she cut another small piece and fed Vivaan, and next, seriously she averted the remaining piece to me.

Though I managed to stuff that piece inside her mouth until she choked and gave her a wide grin.

Traitor, Is she taking revenge on me just because she bumped into Ishaan because of me?!

After all the cake cutting drama, we drove the photographer crazy by taking weird group photos.

Weird would be an understatement.

And then, myself, Aisha and Ankita had dinner with Rohit and Ishaan.

It was quite normal for me to have dinner with them, with some fun talk in between, but these two next to me were acting as if they were on a date.

Though, I was busy having a note on the number of times the food was refilled in the buffet.

Trust me, If you had been here, you should have tried the and also the

I just had pieces.

Sorry, but the Sweet section is where I belong.

It was around 9, when some of them had already left.

"Ohh okay, We will be there mom" Rohit was answering someone through a call.

Well, he addressed Mom right, then it must obviously be his mom!

Oh wow, I am turning intelligent with every second, I mentally patted my shoulders.

"Well, Suhana, we will meet tomorrow then, we have to leave now." He shrugged.

"Yeah sure, see you tomorrow " I smiled.

"Bye Suhana" Ishaan nodded as he moved his gaze towards Aisha.

"Uh---Bye Aishaa"

"Bye" she shrugged.

Uh-ohhhh, Interesting. Looks like its love at first collision.

"Well--Rohit, what about your brother?! You said you came here with him?" I asked doubtfully, cause the whole while, Ishaan and Rohit were with us.

"Uh--No idea, I guess he left. Actually--We kind of forced him to join us, He doesn't like parties.

Just the way I am allergic to crowded places and nosey people.

"Ohh okay then see you tomorrow!" I waved off as they made their way out of the house.

It was around 11pm, as most of them had left including Ankita, leaving me alone amidst the devil.

After helping Aisha in shifting those huge boxes, called gifts to her room, I finally decided to leave.

"Okay Aisha, see you on Thursday!"

"What about tomorrow?!" I glared at her as she asked the same question for the hundredth time.

Precisely speaking, she has short-term memory loss.

But the cure is very simple, just give her glare with that '' look and Voila, her memories are back.

"Ohh yeah, Rohit and his family are visiting you all right?!" She bit her tongue.

Sighed, I shook my head.

Why God, why? Why am I even still friends with her?

"Yeah, Okay then it's late, I am leaving " I smiled and moved out, silently praying not to bump into Vivaan.

It was completely My Bad Luck!

Since the past half an hour, I have been trying to book a Cab for myself, but this stupid app couldn't find one.

Feeling embarrassed to stand in front of Aisha's house, I actually moved to the street end.

So that, even unexpectedly, Vivaan doesn't spot me from his room's window pane or somewhere else.

I know, I think a lot. Weird stuff, to be precise.

"Uh--bhai, Is there any auto stand nearby?!" I asked a middle aged man who was passing by.

"Take this left and go to the main road, you might find some auto there!" He moved away even before I could thank him.

Only after seconds of taking a left, I realised that the street had poor lights.

It had very few lights and most of them were very dim.

After entering the main road, I gazed the empty road from left to right.

All I could spot was one or two cars, trucks and lorries passing by.

Now, How am I going to go home?, I facepalmed.

As I didn't want to scare mumma, I just left her a message saying I will be back home a bit late.

With no idea of what to do next, once again I opened the cab booking apps to check if I could locate any cabs nearby.

But my fate, I couldn't find one.

Clueless, I took left and was strolling down the pavement.

It was freezing cold, and I was literally cursing myself for choosing this dress, a sleeveless and such a short dress, though Megha was the real culprit.

As I walked along the pavement, as I saw three men were proceeding from the opposite direction.

Wow, looks like today my stars are in favour!! Well, note my sarcasm.

I tried to move my gaze somewhere else, to keep myself away from those people.

"Hey beautiful!" One commented, as he left his awful gaze on me, from top to bottom.

"Want a ride?!" The other winked at me as I held my purse tightly against my stomach.

"Come with us!" The third one smirked as those drunken hooligans tried to surround me.

God, Where am I stuck? I have been a very good girl, haven't I?

I am the most innocent kid, ain't I? Please help me.

"Come with us silently and don't try to scream, even if you do, there is no one here to help you. " One spoke up as the other two dumb heads laughed throwing their heads up in the air.

What is so funny? I frowned at them.

Omg, what am I even thinking?! God now what should I do?

Run. Run. Run Suha.

As one fool tried to hug me from front, I immediately dodged him as I ran towards --- I don't know where.

I just ran. Thank God, I was a sprinter in my school and college days, but these freaking heels were making it difficult.

I was running towards , and that was when a caught my attention.

It was parked on the other side of the road as I could figure out a man to be standing, the other side of the car.

I immediately crossed the empty road and ran towards him. I turned back and found those hooligans still following me, and they were almost near.

Drunkard people can run steadily?!

Oh god, I need to control my mind.

As I reached the other side of the car, all I saw was a young man in his with his hair neatly gelled with his twinkling under the yellow dim streetlight.

I was standing in front of him, and he probably didn't even notice me as he was busy cursing someone on his phone.

"I don't stand a chance against such nonsense. You are fired, get lost!" He screamed as I saw those three men who were crossing the road ready to pounce on me.

Without thinking twice, I immediately hugged the polar bear in front of me.

"What the--" I could hear him swear under his breath.

"Ohh baby, I missed you so much! " I squealed as I hugged him tightly, but also having an eye on those hooligans who were standing just a few steps ahead from us.
