"drugs?" I said again stepping back as if being around him will include me in his circle. Will put a stain on my reputation.
Without any reaction he simply opened the door keeping the tore up packed idly back into the glove department where I could spot more.
"Oh God," I exclaimed.
He rolled his eyes, said" will you get inside? Or would you like to judge me from there,"
I stared back at him like seriously what did he expect a medal for that?
I shrugged off sliding in making a note to stay more towards the door side.
"Where to?" he asked starting the engine.
I looked at him in disbelief, see his nerves, "so we're going to completely forget what just happened a minute before,"
He looked back at me eyebrow quirked, "what do you want to know I do drugs and you saw my ' addiction time ' like I saw you having your
'addiction moment '"
I laughed surprised, "you're very funny Rishabh how can you relate the two situations just to make yourself look innocent or me the same as you,"
He shook his head as if I was some child, "Kyra we are sailing on the same boat-"
I glared at him.
"but just on different waters,"
I let it sink in.
"No I am not addicted. How did you even get to that route by the way?" I asked curiously.
"How did you?" He asked back.
I gave him you're absolutely crazy look.
"We don't get to that route ourselves they call us,"
I tilted my head observing him, "you are being sad philosopher who live in Himalayas type. Does drug do that?"
He made a thinking face rubbing his chin, "drugs, medicines-"
glancing at me, "a broken heart do that,"
I shook my head."it would be an honor to me if you be more clear," I said sarcastically.
"We both know it's harmful we both know we are going to get hurt in the end still we are not stopping, still we aren't giving up and moving on. It has become a need an addiction which isn't letting us free. What do you say now?"
I was speechless I faced away slowly mumbling, "to the Royal bar,"
"Oh no judgements now. Anyway, why would he go there?" He questioned driving.
"I-I don't know" I spoke watching the passing scene the surging of city lights merging and forming a chaotic glow, a expanding darkness like a portrait of what was going within me.
"Do you even know him well," it wasn't a question it was a statement he made out.
I think I know but what we think isn't always right.
He pulled in, "here. Do you want me to accompany you inside?"
I blinked bringing myself back, "no we will come here you can wait,"
I got out at the same time he did.
He looked up, "I think I'll wait outside I would have tag along with you but I had a row with the manager once,"
I didn't comment on that. So this Royal Bar was kinda boys hangout place. I strode up towards blue lights entrance. Two bouncers of sturdy bodies halted my footsteps. What if they ask my ID I am not going to drink I reminded myself I shouldn't be scared. I went in with shaking legs passing by them expecting them to stop me and then call my mother.
My eyes wandered from left side which had a counter for drinks and food to the right side which had a sitting arrangement. I walked with hesitant steps there were meager people mostly drinking.
Atmosphere was quiet, smell was of liquor.
I moved to the right, spotting a brown head slouching alone.
I reached him he was gazing down at basically nothing on the brown woodsy table.
I moved in taking the opposite seat.
I stared at him for his attention .
He didn't notice lost in his thoughts.
"So partying alone no invitation and whatsoever," I placed my elbow on the table ungracefully.
His head jerked up at my voice, "wh-,what are you doing here?" He slurred.
I groaned rubbing my forehead he was drunk. Great
"Someone has to come here you can't just run away and hide here," I said exasperatedly.
He shuffled up pushing his jacket that was kept carelessly on something but my eyes found it before. His blue guitar.
Something twitched in my stomach, "you said you don't play you keep it for show!" I wasn't hurt I was distraught. I used to literally beg him to play for me but he never. Now he had it and I can make a wild guess for whom it was out there.
He shrugged lazily, "it doesn't matter though she doesn't like me it isn't real," there was pain his eyes I found. I wondered did he see the same reflection in mine.
"Krish you deserve better you'll get better maybe wait for it," just open your eyes see who's here who had always been there for you. It's not love then what it is.
He snorted, "huh, you'll not understand Kyra you haven't been to such circumstances,"
It was like a slap. I withdrew myself away as if I could save myself from those words.
I stood up hastily.
"Let's go Rishabh is waiting outside," I muttered briskly.
His head shot up to me, "Rishabh? so you guys are serious,"
If it mattered him then let's make it more,
"very," I replied with an utmost conviction look.
His lips twisted down as if he tasted something sour. "You better leave then I can take care of myself,"
I marched to him now annoyed yanked his arm, "come on don't make it difficult," he didn't budge he pulled back his arm along with me since I didn't leave the grip. I was taken towards him surprised by his strength I put my hands on his chest. He looked down at me, said softly "I won't go Kyra I have so much in my mind right now that man there is hearing me," I followed the direction what man? a haggard man lying where I was sitting previously how couldn't I saw him?
"He fell down and get up but he never leaves me," he continued.
"Oh" I uttered little weirded out by that fact.
He appeared pleased for some reason his eyelids dropping down there's weariness and dejection on his face.
"Krish what's on your mind?" I asked, concerned.
His eyes found mine as he answered, "everything,"
"Will you tell me? "I gazed in as if to peered in to know what were they hiding inside.
"Will you listen to me?" He spoke hesitantly.
Do I want to listen?. Of course.
I lift my index finger to indicate to wait a minute. I got up oh God I was completely leaning on him . Maneuvering out. A man blocked my way with grey coat.
"Is he leaving? Kiba" The man on the phone !
I looked up at his no nonsense face which had grumpy expression on.
Well my also didn't have very happy expression hearing that 'Kiba' again.
"We're leaving soon okay we're not going to stay here you know live our entire life in this place so just calm down," I left before matters went out of hand.
I waved at Rishabh as he noticed me he jogged up to me, "what's up? Need any help?"
I smiled gratefully at him, "Thanks I think you can go I'll take a cab it's gonna be not soon there," I pointed in over my shoulder.
He nodded frowning, "It's 11 'O clock. Don't take it that long okay? Be safe call me if required,"
I nodded back.
He ambled down. It took a moment but I shouted eventually, "Take care!"
He turned back smiling.
"You too!" He yelled over waving.
•••
I returned back to Krish but this time chose to sit beside him instead of near the falling and getting up kind of dude.
"I thought it will take more time," He mumbled as I sat.
I shot him confused look. He shrugged his one shoulder in response.
"So you and Pratiksha are over?"I blurted out . Then to distract, stealthily brought the bottle towards my side. He got me and held the bottom of it.
He sighed, "yes I thought wrong I thought she was my angel the one from my dreams who saves me brings me out from the darkness of my nightmares but she isn't she may look like an angel but she's not the same angel the one I know the one I was waiting for,"
I didn't know to be happy or to be sad because there was someone again between us. I knew Krish had nightmares he used to attend the counselling when he first joined the school. Later on he discontinued because he was okay but he still had I didn't know.
Looking down in the half filled glass with brown dusky liquid, he said, "I don't have any purpose. With Abhi gone with the realization that I would never meet someone I almost love. I think I don't have anything to do with my life I'm stuck in between of nowhere. Like no one out there care for me,"
This boiled me turned me hot red. I snatched the glass from his grasp and stomp on the table making the content jumped out.
"How dare you say that!"
He blinked taken aback.
I pounce on him grabbed him by his scruff of his t-shirt. "How dare you! Don't I mean anything to you? Even a little bit,"
He shook his head vigorously I put my finger on his lip, "don't you say anything now! You treat me like I'm invisible I don't exist you don't see me at all what am I to you Krish just tell me today? Not friend okay I'm fucking bored of hearing that," I left
my hold on him and moved aside.
Took up the glass and drank it down whatever it was. Because my inside was burning now I needed it to cool down. Big mistake it burned my mouth. Yuck.
Immediately, Krish handed me the water bottle. I gulped some water.
Tears ran down from my eyes. "What the hell was that Goddamnit!" I hissed wiping them off.
Krish put his fist to his mouth his shoulders shaking.
I glared while still drinking water.
After easing up, "answer me!" I pressed on.
"Okay ma'am," he settled himself straight.
Grinning he said, "I love you Kyra"
Okay let's see how many fall for that!
