Chapter twenty three
"9 seconds only and you're back."

× ANANYA ×

It felt like I woke up in a whole different world, when I opened my eyes.

I sat on the bed noticing the change of room, leaving a frustrated sigh, I rubbed my eyes and slept again. My head was already paining and god chose to give me such unrealistic dreams.

I heard a manly voice, calling my names a few times and wondered who entered my dreamland. No one, I know is allowed here.

"Ananya"

"Chamatkar" I woke up within a second hearing this. I don't even want to hear it in my dreams.
Reality is better than that name.

I slowly opened my eyes taking my slow time, only to see Sahil standing there with a glass of something. My eyes widened in shock and I looked around while gulping. Blinking my eyes a few times to check whether I saw him or to check if everything is real, I gasped when he didn't disappear. Rather I got a tight lipped fake smile in return.

"Good morning, ma'am. How are you feeling?" He asked sarcastically I guess and I shook my head.

"What am I doing here? How am I even here? Why am I here?" I realised it was Sahil's room. I came here once to take the thermometer.

I held my head with my hands as it started paining a lot. I think I drank a lot last night and handling hangovers is something I cannot do because they are worst in my case.

"I'll explain. Drink this" He passed me the glass and I eyed him. Something was wrong with his expressions.

"I didn't mix anything in that lemonade, just so in case you know. Ma made it" I just nodded and drank it until realisation hit me. I choked on whatever he gave me.

"What Ma?" I shook my head and rephrased my sentence, "Whose Ma?"

"My" These two letters were enough for me to get into coma.

"Okay, I am heading back to sleep. Good night." I covered myself under the sheets.

"Uth" He removed the sheets and grabbed my hand, pulling it.
[Wake up]

"Drink this first. Mai batata hu sab"
[I'll tell you everything]

"Kya sab?" He glared at me and I drank that obediently.
[What everything?]

After drinking it, my brain started working and I started laughing. "You're joking. It was a trick to wake me up"

"Calling you Chamatkar was definitely a trick to wake you up but anything else, no"

"Chal jhoote" I said,tying my hair in a bun after picking up my hairclip from the nightstand.
[Lair]

"Okay, Go to the dining room and have a look by yourself" he shrugged.

"Mazak mat kar. How did I come here? Tell me that. Already sirr dard se fat Raha hai"
[Don't joke/Already my head is paining.]

"Vivian was too drunk and passed out so Kirti had to take care of him. And me taking you home was the only thing possible, as I was the only sober one. Or else you would have took the whole place on your head and then danced. Reaching here, you did not have the keys, Kirti wasn't picking the call, so the last option was to bring you here. But I did ask for your consent for that while you were busy singing your instantly made up song"

Alright makes sense. And for a fact, I don't know why but I did not feel uncomfortable here, like I know how his intentions are. My hearts says I can trust him.
