“I am fine.” She squints at me. “The fact that you are between me and my happiness is the only thing that’s not sitting well with me and messing with my brain.”
“You want me to drop you home?” Ignoring her comment, I offer her.
“No, I want you to call Ranveer. I am not leaving this place till you don’t ask him to come. I want to see him.” She latches onto my arm, and I feel her fingers dig into my skin through the sleeve of my jumpsuit.
I shake my head. “Soha, you can have a word with Ranveer tomorrow. Right now, I think you need to go home and sleep it off.”
“I fuckingneedRanveer,” Soha shouts at me.
I stare at Soha and know it’s pointless to argue with her right now. “Okay. I will call him.” I give in my shoulders slump as I regard her with disdain in my eyes.
She rolls her eyes. “Finally, you listening to something I am saying.”
“Give me a few minutes,” I say as I open my car door.
“Promise me you will really call him.” Soha grabs my hand when I start to step inside my car to make the call.
“Promise,” I give her a reassuring smile and then get behind my steering wheel.
I dig around in my purse until I find my mobile. My fingers fumble with it as I dial Ranveer’s number. His phone rings before going to voicemail. I close my eyes and rest my head against the headrest. Tears start streaming down my cheeks. Is this the reality of my life? Will I have to keep facing his ex like this? God, was Dad right about me making a mistake yet again? No. I have not made a mistake. My heart will always choose Ranveer, regardless of what life throws my way.
I open my eyes when there is a knock on my window. I turn my head to see Soha, shifting on her feet.
When I pull down my window, she asks, “Did you call him?”
“I did, but he didn’t answer,” I explain.
“Call again,” she orders.
I have no clue what to do. I’m so done with her nonsense. Given any other circumstance, I would have told her to go to hell, but I know, no matter how much I dislike her, I can’t leave her like this in the middle of the night when she is so drunk. That too outside my dad’s bar. Life is fucked up right now.
I inwardly sigh. It’s going to be a long night. I hope that the night doesn’t bring any more unwanted surprises for me. I just want to get over and done with this.
Chapter 33
Ranveer
“It’s a fucking bad idea!”I shout. The rage in my body is overtaking me.
“Ranveer…” Alisha begins but I shake my head.
“Don’t you dare try convincing me that you are right about this.” My menacing voice echoes in the confines of the car.As my anger skyrockets, I grit my teeth and tighten my hands on the steering wheel.
“Ranveer, I am not happy about it either, but we can’t just leave Soha stranded in the middle of the road, given her condition,” Alisha urges while sitting beside me in the passenger seat before looking back at Soha in the backseat, still in her half-drunken state.
I cringe. Earlier, when Alisha called me saying that she needed my help in bringing Soha home, I saw red. Having Soha anywhere around Alisha doesn’t sit well with me. But I fucking love my wife so much that I can’t refuse her. While driving through the street, I can feel my heart pounding because I know Soha is a spider who does nothing but spit webs of lies, and she needs to be kept out of our home.
“Fine, I get it we can’t leave her on the road, not that she doesn’t deserve that. But why the hell can’t we drop her at her hotel? Why the hell are you bent upon bringing her home with us?”
“Because she may feel sick and will need someone to take care of her.” I open my mouth to say she doesn’t deserve a shit when Alisha cuts me, “She is Mili’s mom, and I will give that to her,” shespeaks in a quiet, soft voice.
I shake my head again in an exasperated sigh. “You are making a mistake,” I warn her, but she doesn’t respond.
With a sigh, I drive silently, still not able to process that bringing Soha home is the only option.
Just then, Soha speaks from the backseat, her language slurred. “Ranveer baby, you are so fucking hot.”I see Alisha’seyes widen. She starts shaking her head before she averts her face to look out of the window,avoiding my gaze.
“Keep your fucking mouth shut,”I order as my head whips around and I look over my shoulder to give her a scathing look, but to no avail. She simply rolls her eyes at me. Now I am even more certain than I have ever been that Soha’s sole motto of life is to screw and mess with my happiness at every chance she gets.
