Rocky stumbled out of the bar, a lit cigarette on his lips and a half drunk bottle of beer in his other. He would occasionally puffed out greyish smoke from his mouth, making the acrid smell of it reek in the atmosphere. Looking at his condition one thing was clear, he was quite drunk.
The cars of Rajendra Desai and his henchmen, zoomed past one by one, leaving the long haired guy all alone in the dark night, to ponder upon himself.
Reena couldn't help but roll her eyes seeing the condition Rocky was in. Drunk, yet again. Can't this guy stay sober for even a few minutes? Reena couldn't help but wonder. She had meet him just two times and both the times he was completely high and it was one of the reason that added fire to her hate for him.
Long dark lashes and black silky hair - he had it all. He was definitely good looking, there was no doubt in it. His eyes always held a look of mirth in them, which makes it hard for his enemies to depict his thoughts. And he always had a playful smile on his lips which makes girls swoon over. She had seen the way her own sister ogle at him like he was some kind of forbidden candy. Unfortunately she, Reena, was not impressed.
Because, being good looking will not save one from getting killed for their stupid and rash behaviour. She was sure that more than once his tongue had landed him in serious trouble. Man the guy need serious filters. Never in her life, has she seen someone as reckless and stupid as him. He was the kind of man who doesn't fear of his own life. More clearly speaking, he showed a reckless disregard for his own safety.
Till today, she had thought her sister was a fool to fall for him, a complete idiot. She misinterpreted her sister's feelings to be one that was caused due to desire. She even remember giving a long lecture to her sister on how good looks was blinding her thoughts, depriving her of her perceptions. She had concluded, her sister was choosing her own destruction by growing feelings towards the long haired rouge.
But today, all her assumptions and judgements about Rocky took a wild turn. He was not completely bad. Somewhere deep down, he had a good heart, a heart that knows how to respect women. And today for the first time, she understood why her sister had developed feelings for a goon like him.
How much ever Shravani negates it, the love and desire, she saw in her sister's eyes could never be fake. Her sister might yet to realise it completely, but her feelings are quite evident -the frequent looks, the blush, the smiles- in her mannerisms.
And today she got the best reason to unite Rocky and Shravani. A reason that made Rocky see worthy in her eyes. A reason, a promise, she would never reveal. A promise, she would keep for her dead mother.
Moreover, she doesn't want her sister to have the same fate as hers. Love one man with all her heart only to marry another. She knew the pain of sacrificing her love and she definitely didn't want her sister to go through the same.
