I Told You Not To Fall in Love. ✔

XXXV - Night madness.

"Paake jo tenu mere dil ne gavaya ae
dard judaai wala naina vich chaya ae."

[Since my heart got you and lost you,
the pain of separation is spread over my eyes.]

Eleana:

We were sitting in the room. No one was sleepy. Everyone was excited for the wedding rituals to kick start tomorrow. We had called Varun, Shraddha, Maya and Naina to join us. Karthik was present there too but I didn't get affected by him because I knew I had a lot of people to protect me. I was blessed with so much. They were not only my friends, they were my life. My mattress was placed beside the sliding glass door and outside, it was the most beautiful view of the starry sky and the moon in its full glory. It had been almost a week in India. I was going back soon. I didn't want to go back but I had to. I had no other choice or option. If it was in my will I'd never have left these people in the first place. I'd never have ruined my relationship with Aryan. Maybe if everything went well with the flow, Aryan and I would have been engaged just like Varun and Shraddha. But it was only a wish, a wish that seemed unattainable and too for away from my reach. I was in my mattress, snuggled up in my blanket and munching on my daily dose of snacks. I took out my medicines and gulped them down with the water. Ricky and Varun came and sat beside me while snatching my pack of Lays and shamelessly finishing them as if they owned it. I took a sneak peak all around the room. Some were busy in chatting and tapping on their screens. Some were busy in eating like me. Some were busy in being touchy just like Varun and Shraddha beside me. I swear these two could never get enough of each other. They were absolute sweet hearts, Batuklal and Chirkut. [Nick names.]

"Guys, Leave your cell phones. I've a game." Geet said grabbing everyone's attention.

"Yayy..Game Game Game." Annie jumped in excitement.

"I'll call it "Secret Spiller" game." She further explained. "Each one of us will tell a fact or secret about someone else present in the room without disclosing their name."

"Done."

"I am outta this."

"No No. I am so done with everything."

"So gonna happen."

These were the mixed reactions of all the people. Finally after a lot of convincing, everybody agreed to play.

"First turn is for Varun."

"Okay, I'll tell a secret about my someone. Someone still sleeps snuggling into her teddy bear." Varun giggled. Shraddha elbowed him in the stomach and he faked pain. She was in a perfect position to do so, sitting between Varun's legs.

"Really Shraddha? How old are you? 2?" Obi smirked at her.

"This game is gonna be the end of everyone. A lot of secrets are gonna come out." Shraddha spoke smirking at Varun which Varun responded with a quick peck on her lips.

"Guys, PDA is against the rules of the game. A lot of desperate forever alone people are sitting here. Show some respect for them. Show some solidarity. You can get a room if you don't have enough control over your overly excited hormones." Geet spoke.

"Ok, Ricky's turn now."

"I will tell a secret about myself." Ricky spoke. "I have a huge crush on someone present in this room."
