“Will you also have sex with me?”

“Wh-why will I have sex with you?”

“When we will start dating. Tab you'll be my boyfriend na. Just like KG is to Rads. Toh you will also have sex with me?”

Darsh was at a loss of words. He heard two laughs and knew it was Jamal and KG. Their laughter was cut short by the breaking of a bottle. Percy stormed off, making the two look at each other.

Darsh sighed knowing he had to talk to him soon. 

“Tell me na Darsh!”

Idhika prompted and he gulped holding her properly.

“You're sleepy. Sleep Idhika!”

“Okay.”

And she dozed off on his back. He sighed in relief. She was killing him with her questions and words.

Darsh entered Idhika's room and carefully placed her on the bed. He removed her sandals. Thankfully both the girls had changed back into their dresses. 

Putting a blanket over her he started getting up only to be pulled back. He lost control due to the sudden pull but balanced himself on his palms.

“Kiss me!”

She smiled so cutely that he smiled. Placing a soft kiss on her head he started getting when she cupped his face and shook her head.

“Kiss me. Here!”

She said pointing to her lips and he gulped. His eyes went back and forth between her eyes and lips. 

“Idhika!”

He whispered and she hummed as her hold his face loosened and she slowly slipped into slumber. He made distance from her and sighed.

He sure as hell wasn't getting any sleep tonight. And he prayed for her sake that she doesn't remember any of this. She'd be too embarrassed and he doesn't want that.

The next morning Idhika woke up with a pounding headache. She groaned and clutched her head turning to her side.

Slowly opening her eyes she looked around to realise she was in her room. How did she reach here? Ugh! How much did she drink?

She tried remembering what happened but her head hurt and she couldn't remember. She hoped she didn't embarrass herself.

Wincing and holding her head, she got out of bed and realised she was wearing the same dress as yesterday.

She took a shower and wore her crop top and palazzo pants. Her head still hurt but it was better than before.

She went out and sat on the dining table and put her head down on the table. A few minutes later she felt someone massage her head and turned her face to see Jamal smiling softly.

“Ek shot aur laga le. Hangover utar jaayega. Loha lohe ko kaat ta hai na.”

She rolled her eyes and he snickered. She heard another groan and looked up to see Rads coming out followed by KG.

She too looked miserable. Soon everyone joined and took their seats. They were having their breakfast when Darsh noticed Jamal and KG exchanging looks. And by this he knew it wasn't good. They were up to something.

“Last night was fun waise, nhi?”

Jamal asked and KG eyed Rads before muttering.

“Oh it sure was.”

Percy rolled his eyes and Darsh gagged. Rads hit KG and mumbled.

“Kya faayda. Yaad toh kuch hai nhi.”

This earned a laugh from everyone. 

“Mazedar toh Idhika ke sawal the.”

Jamal snickered and Darsh glared at him. Idhika on the other hand sat straighter. 

“Mere sawal? Kya puchha maine aisa?”

Darsh dared him to open his mouth. Jamal shut up but his glares didn't work on KG.

“Well, for starters you asked why people had sex?”

Her eyes widened, Rads laughed and Darsh continued glaring at him. 

“I-I-I did what?”

“Ignore them. You know they're crazy.”

Darsh said and she looked at him.

“I didn't ask that?”

When he didn't say anything she groaned and hid her face in her palms. 

“And that was just the start by the way.”

KG continued and she looked horrified.

“Ye start tha? Iske aage bhi hai?”

Percy pushed his plate and left the table stomping furiously. Everyone's laughter died.

“What is wrong with him dude? He is behaving super crazy.”

KG finally asked and Jamal nodded looking at the direction he went in. Darsh sighed knowing it was time to talk to him now.

“I’ll talk to him.”

He got up and went behind him. Percy was standing on the terrace near the railing.

“Apni jeet ki announcement krne aaya hai yaha?”

He jibed and Darsh looked at him.

“It's not about either of us winning or losing. It never was Percy. It was and had always been about Idhika and her feelings alone. Agar wo tere liye kuch bhi feel krti na aisa mai backout maar leta. But I knew that it was not so.”

When he didn't reply, Darsh continued.

“Percy! I don't want this to become an issue between us. It is affecting the band and everyone.”

“It is an issue between us, Darsh. And it will be an issue. Tu chahta hai ki ye issue na rahe. Then tell Idhika you don't like her. Tell her I like her.”

Darsh laughed in disbelief.

“Are you even hearing yourself. I don't just like her Percy. I am in love with her. And now I am not sure if you are. Kyunki agar actual mai pyaar hota toh ye khayal aata bhi nhi mann mai. You'd be happy to see her happy.”

Percy shot a glare at his side and then asked.

“Would you be happy if you were at my place? Agar tujhe usse kisi aur ke saath dekhna padta toh tu kaise react krta?”

“I'd obviously be jealous seeing her with someone else. But if she would be happy I’d never come between her and her happiness.”

Percy scowled. There was silence for some time.

“Percy I don't know how else to say this. I love her. I really do. But I also don't want you to get hurt. But the truth is. You don't love her Percy. Maybe attracted to her but that's it.”

“And how can you say that? Tujhe lagta hai sirf tu hi pyaar kr skta hai?”

He now turned to face him. Darsh sighed seeing his eyes red with anger.

“I can say so because I know you. And I know ki agar tujhe sachme usse pyaar hota toh uska discomfort sabse pehle nazar aata. But you didn't even know you were the cause of discomfort yesterday.”

“You can say that because you know she trusts you.”

“Because I have built that trust over years and still maintained that. You think she just started trusting me like that? Nhi Percy! I had to work up to it. And I still do. I make sure at each step that she is comfortable. That she is fine. She is safe. Is she is with me, she'll be my priority over any fucking body. No exceptions whatsoever. I know I don't have to pass comments on her dressing or body in any way that would embarrass her. I know when to ask everyone else to shut their mouths up so as to not make her overthink. And this is why she trusts me.”

Percy looked away and Darsh knew that his words had affected him.

“I hope you realise that soon. Do it before it's too late Percy. I don't want her to hate you.”

He patted his shoulder and left Percy in his thoughts.
