She started shouting by placing her head outside the window and blabbered at people on the road. I made her sit inside and locked the windows for her security.

I started driving the car for a while, smoothly." Arvind", she called me and placed her chin on my shoulder.

"hmm"

"Where are we going?"

"Well, I am taking you to my home."

"Why would I come to your home? I am having my own. I would go there."

"Shh... okay, I'll drop you tomorrow."

"No, I want to go now," she jumped from back seat to the front seat, causing me to apply the brake and stop the car with a jerk.

"Give me the driving seat I will drive to my home," she started rotating steering of the car, making the engine sound with her mouth.

"God! Have some mercy on me," I prayed, rubbing my forehead.

"Okay then guide me, I'll drive to your home. but I won't give you the car to drive."

"Please," she asked me with her puppy face.

"No"

"Hhhmphh okay, then go straight..." she started giving directions to her house, with a sneer.

"here, take a right..."

"wait...wait...wait...take this right."

"Hey, take this left."

I was a fool to follow a drunken mind instructions. I drove for around one hour and reached the Minerva hotel, the place where we started. I stopped the car in full frustration, which I couldn't show her. If I show my attitude, she will become more stubborn for sure.

"Navya, we came to Minerva again.you gave wrong directions."

"mmm, no, I gave right directions.but, when did Minerva hotel come nearby my house. no one took my permission to build this Minerva hotel here."

"Navya, you are scaring me with your actions. If we continue like this, I doubt there will be no petrol left in the car."

"Who all are there at your home now?"

"Why?"

"say, Who all?" she demanded.

"No one, I am the only one at my home today," I answered.

"Oh! Don't get scared I'll give you company at your home," she answered, giving me a tousle and a huge grin.

"I'll fight if anyone comes to hurt you," she said, by placing her hands in front of her face with fists.

"ufff...God, you are crazy," I muttered under my breath..." okay, thank you. Please protect I'm scared", I joined my hands (Namaskar)to her.

"Sure, drive to your house," she said with pride.

I drove the car to my home, and she was in a Car lazily sitting without movement. I quickly went and unlocked the door and asked her to get out of the car and enter the house."

"This seat is very comfortable for me.why don't we sleep here."

"Navya, please..."

"Okay, lift me and take into the house, or otherwise I'll choose to sleep here itself," she spread her hands like a small child.

I lifted her in a bridal style in my arms and started walking towards the entrance of the house.

Navya was staring at me with not even a blink from her eyes. But, I am in no mood to watch her. I concentrated on my walking path.

"Arvind." She called me in a low voice.

"Hmm," I murmured and looked at her. She suddenly kissed my lips. I was shocked to the core.she was in my hands.she will fall if I loosen my grip. I moved my head the other side.she tried to reach my lips again, but I changed my head directly on to the other side.

Frustrated, she caught my head with her hands and smashed her lips on mine. She kissed me very passionately. Her kiss reeked of alcohol — my first kiss, an unexpected one, though, which lasted for around three minutes.

I don't know why, but I didn't stop her while kissing. With the kiss lasting that long, I found myself going out of breath. Once she broke her kiss, I tried to inhale a lot of air to come to a normal state.

She started laughing. I took her quickly into the house, placed her gently on the sofa, and immediately locked the door. Now, I was relieved. She is safe now.

She rested her hip on one of the arms of the sofa. She started balancing her upper body in such a way body down to the hip would be on a sofa, and upper body would be outside of the sofa without falling on the ground.she took her chunni from her neck and started rotating it with hand in the air.

I could see her cleavage. I did not have any bad intentions, but the ambiance was growing uncomfortable. She has changed a lot these years in terms of facial features and physic. There were no tooth clips. She has become a bit chubby, with curves at the right places, adding to her beauty. Her ponytail is gone and is replaced with loose hair, which came until her lower back. She looked like a celestial nymph(apsara) to me, seducing me to the core.

Oh! God, What is this? What's happening to me? I shouldn't be thinking like this about her.

I have to distract my self. But, I couldn't control myself.so, I decided to go to the bathroom and have a bath. I directly went inside the bathroom with a towel .poured full bucket of cold water on me from head to down to control my heat. I stripped off my wet clothes, took some more time to get normal, and came out in a towel-covered from my waist to knee.

As soon as I opened the door, she was standing in front of me.

"where did you go?", she questioned

"Can't you see? I went to take a bath."

"Why did you go alone? I would have come along with you. I remember I came here to protect you."

"Looks like even I need to take a bath. Give me that towel." she pointed her finger towards the one which covered me.

"How about I give another one? I used this one, and it is damp," I replied with a bit sorry face.

"No, I want this."

Taking a deep breath, I said: "hmm, wait for 2 minutes. I'll put on my dress and give."

She came near me and said, "I can't wait that much time" and caught the hem of the towel and tried to pull it.

"Hey!are you crazy?... "I caught hold of my towel with a death grip and made sure it won't get detached from my waist.

I tried hard to loosen the ber grip. She sat and started competing with me for the towel.

I dragged her along with the towel, came out of the room, and locked her inside the room. I took the t-shirt and knee-length shorts, which were dried on the balcony after washing. I had clothes and opened the door, threw the towel on her face, and said: "now it's yours."

She threw back on my face, "I don't want now."

"If you want another towel, then, ill get you."

"no, I don't want to have a bath now," she started searching for something around.

"my phone.where is my phone? I need my phone."

I remembered having taken her phone with me. I took it when she was not in her senses at the hotel.

"Why do you need your phone?"

"Are you having my phone? give it to me."

I need to call someone now.i have to call grandma; I didn't talk to her today.

See the time now I showed the clock pinned to the wall in my room, "12.30 A.M.this This is not the right time."

"no, I need to call, please...please...please" she pleaded with her puppy face again

She sat on the floor and started crying, "I need my phone."

"Alright, I'll call once. but if she doesn't pick up you should not disturb anyone with your phone, okay"

"deal"

I used her face sensor to unlock her phone and asked: "to tell her number."

She started saying the number "hmm, okay..9666*****5."

While typing the number with one hand I used my other hand to make my phone silent. I made sure Navya won't be suspicious that I typed my number and not what she told. I can't have her disturbing anyone. If I really call her grandmother, she would get scared.

I put on the loudspeaker to her to make her know that I called.my phone, which was in my pocket started to vibrate.

"She didn't pick your phone.so, now be a good girl and go to sleep."

She giggled and said, "I didn't make a deal with you about sleeping.so I won't "she started humming a tune by resting her back on the sofa.

I didn't think the tune in which she was humming ever existed. Even if it existed, the composer of the song would repent and hang himself after listening to his tune from her vocal chord.

"Navya, please stop. if the dogs on the road hear you they would come and bark at you", I said in a sarcastic way

"Oh! It's okay .atleast they would appreciate my talent and give a chance to listen to me."

She didn't understand my sarcasm, but what caught my attention was her talking like depressed in life.

"tell me what the matter is? who is not recognizing your talent?" I asked in a soft tone to know why she was speaking so depressed.

"Well, I went to my grandma's home after Divya's marriage. she insisted me to continue my studies as I had one more year to finish my engineering."

"But, I didn't want to make money from my grandma as she was in her final days and might need money for taking care of her health."

"she convinced me by saying that it was my mother's money. I finished my studies and was badly in need of job.from the last 8 months I am trying to get a job. I don't want to be a liability to my grandma anymore."

Looks like she is in a bad phase as I had been before. But, I didn't understand how did she end up in the hotel.

"Why did you come to hotel Minerva," I asked out of curiosity.

She suddenly sat up from her resting position and started breathing heavily.

"Navya..."

she stood from the sofa and came near me and tried to say something but couldn't.

Finally, she said with a smile, "I am sorry."

"sorry? But...", I was about to ask her, the volcano erupted from her mouth.

Oh! Shit, she vomited over me.
