I LOVE YOU

I enter the club and saw a gaudy environment, filled with different sets of chairs and tables, and a buffet around the corner. The club was loud and hectic full of soon-to-be graduates, I look around the hall, and as my eyes move towards another corner I see a shelf that was filled with different liquor bottles. I held Krish's hand pulled him closer and mumbled in his ears, "Why are there so many liquor bottles here?"

"There are so many bottles in view of the fact that everyone will drink tonight"

"Everyone ah? Is it compulsory or what"

"No da, I said so because almost everyone here drinks"

"Even girls?"

"Yes"

"Really!!"

"Don't worry you need not have to drink"

"You know me well"

"Completely"

"But I want to try Whisky"

"No, you can't"

"Beer"

"No chance"

"Vodka"

"No"

"Wine at the least"

"No, and end of conversation"

"So rude man"

"Hmm"

"You can't keep saying no to me and you allow or not I am going to drink I don't need your permission"

"Okay. Hmm. You can't drink here, but I can buy a bottle of wine from here and you can drink it when we reach home.", He said holding my wrist

"Are you buying me wine now? You are so sweet I am blessed to have such an amazing friend"

"Just a few seconds ago she was scolding and now she is complimenting.", he mumbled

"Buy it right now"

"Crap! I left my wallet in the car I will go fetch them so I can purchase you a wine bottle and you crazy girl be safe", he said and moved away. I leisurely walked around the hall to find a good place to sit. I found an empty table near the buffet and settled at it. I sit there and look around at people dancing cheerfully and a lot of couples here and there all over each other, being clingy. After looking at what was happening all around me I started to rehearse a few pick-up lines and cheesy phrases and mentally imagine the most heart-warming scene and giggle. Mathew suddenly appeared in front of me and came closer to me and in spontaneous effect, I stood up.

"Hello Megha, you seem to be alone do you want someone to accompany", he said

"Mathew just go away, you are drunk", I said

"What about a glass of wine together"

"No, thank you"

"Come on it tastes good"; he said and moved closer to me.

"Mathew move back"

"Come on you know I like you", he said moving closer and closer and holding my shoulders.

"Step back from her", and a voice in dark says silently holy crap! Krish Malhotra is here so soon. Why? This would have made him angry by now, oh God he must not create a scene here now.

"Malhotra", he said fiercely. I glanced apprehensively at Krish, he was scowling at Mathew and he was furious.

"How many more times do I tell you not to bother her?",

"What is your problem and why do you always stick around her?",

"Because she is my girl", Krish grimed. I looked up at him astonishingly he was still staring at Mathew; his mouth pressed into a hard, tight line, and his fist was closed compactly. Gosh! I knew what would this lead to within I could do something they both went for each other, they held each other badly slapped and punched, they both grunted loudly and this was the center of attention each and everybody there seemed to see the fight but none dared to stop it because it was the fact that everyone knew going in the middle of these two men and trying to stop will never help but will just make things worse. All of a sudden they started to throw bottles at each other, as I saw two bottles fly straight towards Krish I went in the middle though Krish halted. The bottle that Mathew had thrown hit me badly and due to the force I hit myself towards the liquor shelf and I fell hitting my head badly on the ground and the glass pieces tearing through my skin. Pain explodes in my head, my eyes fill with tears, and my vision blurs at the shock of the collision, unleashing the pain that pulses through my skull. Crushing my eyes tightly, I try to fight the pain and my unsettled stomach, to fight for a valuable sucking of air.

Krish rushes towards me picks me up in his arms holds me tight against his chest. I was able to look at him barely his face blurs...darkness starts to consume me and I took this split second as a chance and told him, "I love you"

"I love you too", he said tears flowing down his eyes I close my eyes with pleasure and happiness but I hear

"Megha" Krish's voice…Krish distressed voice. With his words 'I love you, constantly heard in my head I give the go-ahead to the darkness to completely consume me in peace.
