It was Sunday and an off for the Singhania men. They were sitting on the breakfast table laughing and teasing each other.
"Maa main aur Bhavna kahi vacation par jaane ki soch rhe the."
(Maa me and Bhavna were planning on going on a vacation.)
Devesh said.
"Usse honeymoon kehte hai bhai."
(Its called honeymoon bhai.)
Adarsh said making Devesh glare at him.
"Haan toh maine kab mana kiya. Mai toh khud hi kehti hu ki kahi ghum aao."
(When did i deny. Even i was saying you should go somewhere.)
Saroj said.
"Waise kaha jaane ka socha hai?"
(Where are you planning to go?)
"Abhi kuch socha nhi hai. Dekhte hai."
(We haven't thought of anything. Let's see.)
She nodded and they spent rest of the day watching their old videos. Advik had thrown a small party to celebrate Chhaya's pregnancy and his birthday. Chhaya had told him the news on his birthday.
Devesh and Bhavna were getting ready to go to the party. Bhavna had worn the saree that Chhaya had gifted her.
"You look so hot. Can't we just stay here in our room."
Devesh said hugging her from behind.
"Jee nhi. Aapke best friend ka birthday hai aur meri best friend ki pregnancy party."
(No. Its your best friend's birthday and my best friend's pregnancy party.)
Devesh pouted and Bhavna kissed his pout. 'he looks so cute pouting' she thought. They got ready and reached the party. It was in a lounge and bar.
They were greeted with loud music. They spotted Advik and Chhaya and went towards them. They wished him a happy birthday and congratulated the couple.
They went to sit on a table when Devesh saw someone and said.
"Advik ne isse kyu bulaya hai?"
(Why did Advik invite her?)
Bhavna looked behind her to see whom he was talking about. A man and a woman were sitting on the table a few feet away from them.
"Kaun?"
(Who?)
"Kashvi."
"Kaun hai wo?"
(Who is she?)
"Collegemate hai. But she wasn't even in our friend circle. Advik ne isse kyu invite kiya? Ohh she must have married Rehaan."
(Collegemate. But she wasn't even in our friend circle. Why did Advik invite her? Ohh she must have married Rehaan.)
Bhavna nodded and then suddenly gasped, realising something.
"Ye wo baby boo wali hai na."
(She is the baby boo girl right.)
Devesh scowled at her and she burst out laughing. She stopped when she saw him glaring at her.
"Baby boo"
She said and then again burst out laughing and this time he joined too. They sobered up and she felt thirsty. They got and started to move their the counter when a man came in front of them.
Devesh hugged him and introduced him as one of his college friends and they started talking. Bhavna excused herself and went to the counter to get water.
She saw the counter empty and saw that the bartender was attending the guests. She was very thirsty. She saw a glass and thinking it to be water she drank it in a gulp. She put the glass down and cringed at its taste. She started feeling light-headed.
The bartender came and asked what she wanted. She just gave him the glass and said.
"This."
The bartender nodded and got her another shot of vodka.
Devesh noticed that Bhavna had not returned and went to look for her. He saw her sitting in the counter seat and sighed in relief. But his eyes widened when he saw her posture. Leaning on the counter, head resting on her hand and a glass in the other.
He quickly strode towards her and heard her talking to the bartender.
"Tumhe pta hai Loki ko na hamesha sabne galat smjha. Wo bura nhi tha he just wanted love."
(You know Loki was always misunderstood. He was not bad he just wanted love.)
She was drunk. Very drunk. He went to her and turned her around, taking the glass from her hand and keeping it on the counter. She saw him and jumped in his arms.
"Devesh! Kaha the aap? I missed you"
(Where were you? I missed you)
"I missed you too. How much did you drink?"
"I-one, two, three, four-"
She started counting on her fingers with deep concentration. He sighed and asked the bartender. She had three shots of vodka and she was going to have a terrible headache tomorrow.
He held her waist and started moving outside. They stepped out of the place and Bhavna whined.
"No! I don't want to go back."
He held her firmly and glared at her. She whined again and made a cute puppy face. He sighed and said.
"If you'll be a good girl then i will give you a gift once we reach home."
"Gift?"
"Umhmm."
"Okay."
She said excited. He sighed and buckled her up in the car. He started driving and she started talking.
"Aapko pta hai Dr. Strange bahut bura hai. Wo sab jaanta tha par phir bhi usne Iron Man ko marne diya.*sniff* Mera Iron Man."
(Do you know Dr. Strange was very bad. He knew everything and still he left Iron Man die.*sniff* My Iron Man.)
"Hmm bahut bura hai wo. Hum usse punish karenge, okay?"
(Hmm he is very bad. We will punish him okay?)
"Haan. Aur Voldemort ko bhi karenge uske wajah se Fred marr gya aur pta nhi kitne saare log."
(Yes. And Voldemort too becauseof Fred and so many other people died.)
She said and huffed, crossing her arms.
"Haan krenge."
(Yes we will.)
He said trying to control her laughter. She suddenly clapped excitedly and turned towards him. He looked at her for a second and then looked back at the road.
"Chhaya is having a baby."
"I know Bhavna."
"Mujhe bhi chahiye."
(I also want one.)
"What?"
"I also want a baby. Let's have a baby Devesh."
Devesh looked at her shocked but quickly composed himself. 'She is drunk' he reminded himself.
"We will."
"Kab?"
(When?)
"Soon. Abhi tum aaram karo."
(Now you rest.)
She nodded and rested her head against the headrest. She soon drifted off to sleep. He looked at her and shook his head smiling.
He reached home and called Vaibhav. He asked him to open the front door. He came out and looked at Bhavna and asked what happened. Devesh told him that she had vodka thinking it to be water.
He took her to their room, changed her clothes and put her to bed. He laid down beside her and pulled her to him. She snuggled into him and they slept.
The next morning Bhavna woke up with a terrible headache. She sat up and held her head. Devesh woke up due to the movement and asked her how she was feeling.
She was about to say something when suddenly put her hand on her mouth and ran to the washroom. He ran after her and saw her retching her stomach out. He held her hair and rubbed her back. She washed her mouth, brushed her teeth and slumped against him. He carried her back to the bed and gave her a medicine.
