Kriyam reached the venue…. They got introduced to some people…Then Sayyam lead Krishna to a table… they sat besides each other…. Krishna looked all around… This was all new to her…the environment, ambience,dim lights….followed by lasers… people… everything…
“You weren’t go to a party….?” Sayyam asked her…To get her attention on him… Krishna stopped googling through her eyes around…. She faked a smile…
“No…I’m not… these aren’t like our house parties…” she said calmly….
“Hello…. Mr Sayyam….” Before he could ask her something… Someone interrupted them…So they turned towards the voice…
Sayyam stood up suddenly and greet them..So as Krishna… the gal with the owner of the voice introduce themselves as Mr and Mrs Chouhan… they all sat together… Sayyam and Mr Chouhan…They started their business meeting…
“ Stop…Stop… guys… I’m starving… Let’s order something to eat…. then you do your thing….” Mrs Chouhan….told them…
“You know Krishna….they sometimes forget about us…and their meeting always boring….” She added….winking at Krishna.
..
“Hmmm….” Krishna sighed….a little…
“Baby….what are you doing..??”
Mr Chouhan told her in low tone….
“ Oh… come on baby… I just told her the truth… you wouldn’t know…How boring it is..for us… so I strictly told Sayyam…Next time bring your spouse, otherwise I will cancel your project…” she said chuckled….
French fries fell down from Krishna’s hand…In shocked expression… she looked at Sayyam…. Sayyam couldn’t face her…So he was stealing glances at her… Then looked down….
Krishna couldn’t believe…. How could he….do this to me…. I mean… Hmm…Krishna….step down to reality…from cloud nine…. What all the things I have been dreamt of…this night… party….music…and a couple dance….huh….everything… shattered in one second…. Your dreams are meant to be broken… Krishna… Accept it….
Krishna hide her glistening eyes…by brushing her hair locks… and tucked in behind her ear.. Sayyam felt a prick on his heart.. while watching her….
After they finished… snacks… Krishna ate it for name sake…. She didn’t looked at Sayyam even for once… she felt a lump in her throat…
“Krishna….let’s give them some privacy… come we will enjoy the party…” Mrs Chouhan… excitedly pulled her to the dance floor… Krishna hesitated… then she looked at Sayyam… he was looking down… she decided to follow her… Mrs Chouhan…was danced like anything… then dragged Krishna also… she was just stood there smiling…
Sayyam keep on looking at Krishna…He couldn’t focus on their discussion… Krishna was dragged to the bar area… she ordered shots for each… Krishna couldn’t understand what it…Is…
Sayyam was tried to wave at her to say…Not to…But Krishna wasn’t looking at him… he got frustrated… oh… God…Why.. Would you I bring theher… I promised Maa..That I will take care of her… He tried to walk up to her…But stopped by Mr Chouhan asked about the clauses he put in their contract…
“Come on…. Krishna… 1, 2 and 3….” Mrs Chouhan gulped it all at once… Krishna was looked at the small glass…in fear.. her hands were shaking…
“You didn’t finished it….” She asked Krishna who is still holding the glass… she made her drank it in one go…
Krishna squeezed her eyes in terror…. She felt as if she swallowed a burning coal… She hold her throat and started to cough….
“Oh… My… Krishna…I thought you were used to… I’m sorry…. I’m so…sorry..” She worriedly hold her….
After sometime…She felt her vision… getting wider…Than actual… she smiled unknowingly….
After clearing every doubts.. Sayyam…looked where Krishna were there….but in vain… Sayyam came to the place… he looked here and there… suddenly something hit on back of his head… he yelped… holding the place…And turned to saw something coming towards him… he catches it before hit him… It was Krishna’s heels…
She was chuckled… holding to the pillar….intoxication started to affect her…. Sayyam rubbed his head….anger started to boil inside him….
“Krishna…What are you doing…??” He asked her bewildered…
“I’m doing my work….” She said swaying… with her legs…
“What…??” Sayyam exclaimed…
“ Yeah…Giving company to your boss’s wife…. That’s why you brought me here…” She said the last sentence in low tone…The sadness filled in… Sayyam felt a pang in his heart…. He felt somewhere he was using her… but he didn’t show…
“Oh… Really… then where is she…??” He looked for Mrs Chouhan….near her…
“Oh…My God….!!! We were… playing hide and seek…. I… was….supposed to count….” She told him excitedly… shocking Sayyam a bit…
“What….the… ?? Are you crazy…!!” Sayyam got serious…But Krishna turned to the pillar and started to count…. 1,2,3…. he rolled his eyes…Call out a waiter to order for a lemonade…
Sayyam lost his patience…He pulled her by elbow…
“Stop…It..Stop….it..Right now…” he stopped her… She lost her balance in the process… he prevented her from falling by placing hands on pillar… Soon she started to leaning to other side…So he put other hand that side… Krishna now caged between him and his hands… she looked at him…straight … Sayyam also looking at her intensely… she started to smile again…in her inebriated state…
“You were looks like a stick…But you’re fat today….” She confusingly.. asked him… Sayyam was try to control his anger… she struggling to back on her balance…in this process she step on her saree…and slipped.. Sayyam catched her on time…
They get closer again….he could smell the drink from her breaths… he felt like she was passing the intoxication to him… using a magic spell… she looked at him with innocence… crossing her hands around his neck…and his hands were firmly curled upon her waist…and her bare back…
“ You always prevent me from fall, save me accidents…You never let anything happened to me… you can’t see me crying or in pain… then why don’t you accept my love…and return me some love…” she spoke her heart to him…
He couldn’t do much than listening…To her… this time he wasn’t ready to cut her off..He wanted to hear everything…. Unknowingly he move closer to her… they were about touch…
‘Sir…. Lemonade..” waiter’s voice bring them back…. Sayyam hold his head… What’s wrong with…Me.. what was I about to do… ? Oh… God… he grab the lemonade…from waiter and made her drank…. Sayyam ushered her to nearest table were they already seated…instructed her not to leave.. he turned to saw Mr Chauhan was also doing the same…
They exchanged a smile… then quickly grab the files…and start discussing it… they wind up all things in another 15 minutes..Shake hands to assure the project is final…
Sayyam keep on looking at her antics.… she was counting her fingers…Talking to herself…And smiling without any reason… make funny faces… he hardly hold his laughter sometimes… After bidding bye to them…He walked up to Krishna..
“Krishna..Come .. Let’s go home…” he told her offering his hand to stand up… she stood up…Looking at him with discomfort…
“What’s wrong…?” he enquired…
“I wanna go washroom..” she hesitantly told him looking down… Sayyam smiled and took her towards washroom.. he gestured her to go in…He will wait outside…
Krishna after done washroom… came to wash side…She took a handful of water and washed her face.. she wanted to took a bath…to get rid of the hangover.. she washed again looking at herself in mirror… next time she saw hooded figure behind her… she was about to scream but he hold her mouth and dragged her to somewhere…
Sayyam got a phone call… meanwhile..He moved away from the entrance to out to get clear network… after his call he came back… Krishna wasn’t there.. he waited for more time… but she didn’t show up… do he asked the janitor to check… she said there wasn’t anyone..after checking each door…
Sayyam got panicked now… he searched her everywhere calling her name … Asking everyone showing her photo…But no use.. he hold his head in frustration shouting her name” Krishnaaaa…….”
One of the waiter told him he saw someone took her to private suites… he asked him to show him where… he guided him to there… he banged at each door to check for Krishna.. one suite was left… he banged at the door… call out her name… he was about to leave…But he heard a feeble sound…
He had gut feeling that Krishna was there… he banged again..With the help of waiter he broke the door after 2-3 hits…
The moment he entered.. something came towards his head swiftly…He blocked it with his hand..He couldn’t saw exactly what it was…But it broken into pieces leaving bleeding his hand and unexpected push made him blank to do something… he landed on the floor… he saw someone ran from there after pushing the waiter who helped him…
He tried to hold his bleeding hand…And sat down… he saw someone on floor… he slide towards it…and make the person turn..
He was dumbstruck to reveal the face of that person… it was Krishna..
He took her in his arms… tears welled up without his permission… Her saree was messed up…A piece of her blouse were torn and hanging to a side… he draped her saree correctly and covered with his blazer….
With the help of waiter Sayyam lie down Krishna properly in the car…. He took out his wallet handed some money to the waiter… he was hesitate first… then Sayyam insisted…so he took it… Sayyam drove off…
Tears keep on blurred his vision while driving… he cursed himself for brought her to the party… he didn’t know what to do… he banged his head on seat in frustration… what will I tell Maa… How can I face her… l promised her I won’t let anything happened to her…. But everything…I’m good for nothing… what will I do…? He looked at Krishna…
He stopped the car… dialed a number…
“Are you at hospital…?” He quietly asked..
“Yeah…” other side answered..
“I’m coming there..I need a favor…”” but..What hap…” he cut the call before other side asked him… he applied pressure on accelerator…

A lady was keep on looking at her watch and waiting outside the hospital… A speedy car was coming towards her and stopped just before her with a skid…
Sayyam dropped the glass window… she instructed him to took Krishna by the back side gate.. so he parked his car at back of the hospital… carried her into a room..Where the lady waiting with all medical equipments..
He told her in brief about the scenario… she was one of his best friend from the orphanage working as a doctor…
She checked Krishna… thoroughly…then came out of screen room to the worried Sayyam… he was shattered from the first look she can say… she say beside him…
“ I let this happened Kavitha… I couldn’t stop this…” he was on the verge of crying…
“ Sayyam…Nothing happened to her as you fear… Yes… There is a sign of physical struggle…with the guy…But nothing else.. You reached her on time…” She pressed his hand giving him an assurance..
Sayyam felt lightening his guilt… a little… he looked at her with hopeful eyes…
“ I already called my senior doctor..He is on the way… I need to do some blood tests.. there’s an injection mark on her body…” she added…
“What…??” He asked worriedly…
“ Oh…God… Sayyam..Your hand is bleeding…” Sayyam didn’t aware of anything… Kavitha bandaged his wound… he was totally lost in thoughts of Krishna..
Within half an hour the senior doctor came..Examined Krishna…Checked the reports and instructed the medicines also….
“ Nothing to worry Mr…She will be alright in 2-3 hours.. the drug used for injection we used it for anaesthesia…But the danger it will be vary with patients…So we need to make sure correct mg it wanted..If a single mg excess can cause disaster… Fortunately, your wife wasn’t exposures that much…To the drug..” The senior doctor said patting on Sayyam’s shoulder… he went out in the same hurry as he came…
Sayyam sat beside her holding her hand… tight… He assured her that he won’t reject her again…Her love, her care never… ever. Please… open your eyes Krishna…..
Sayyam dozes off… holding her hands..

Krishna shrunk into a corner… Tears flowing uncontrollable….from her eyes… Sayyam move closer to her…He was about to touch her… she pushed him away…and ran towards bathroom…Locked herself in…
