Hey, my lovely readers.

How are you all?

Are you all enjoying the book so far?

So, I watched the movie Me before you yesterday, again and I had tears in my eyes.

Though I have watched the movie many times before but I don't know why...this time it really hit me hard.

I guess writing this book has made me emotional, a lot more than I already was and I could feel the emotions this time watching it. Probably that's why it really hit me a different nerve this time.

Let's begin with the chapter now.

Siya's POV

I was still lost in thoughts when I heard a car honk indicating that Alayna was back.

As soon as she came to the living room, she screamed "Siya."

And the next thing I know, I was engulfed in a warm hug. Little arms were wrapped around my neck and her head was on my shoulder.

"How are you, darling?" I asked and caressed her back.

"I am fine, Siya. Do you know what happened today?" she asked, breaking the hug and then went on and on about her day at the playschool and the smile wasn't leaving my face.

We had lunch together and I didn't even realize when it was evening and Akash came to pick me up.

Kissing Alayna's cheeks and bidding goodbye to Deepak uncle, I proceeded to his car and sat on the passenger seat.

"So, the plan is still on, right Sophia?" I asked, looking at her through the rare view mirror.

"Yes, Siya, it is" she said, excited.

"Siya, can you please at least take Mark with you?" Akash said from beside me and I glared at him to which he sighed.

"Akash is right, Siya. At least take Mark with you" Adarsh said.

"We are not kids, Adarsh. Moreover we just want to spend some time alone. If you men can go all alone, why can't we?" I asked, looking at him.

"I am not against you going anywhere alone, Siya. Of course I want you to enjoy but I am just worried about your safety" he said.

"Siya, this is a new city and you both have come here for the first time. I am just worried" he said, sighing.

"We'll be fine, don't worry" I said, giving him a smile.

All the while, Akash was silent.

Reaching the mansion, we both got ready and descended the stairs to see both the men waiting for us.

Before I could say anything, I was engulfed in a hug by Akash.

I couldn't control myself and hugged him back while caressing his back.

Breaking the hug, he gave a lingering kiss on my forehead, making me close my eyes.

Opening my eyes, I saw him looking at me intently.

"Take care, okay?" he said, caressing my cheeks and I nodded.

"Let's go Sophia" I said, breaking the hug and we both went out hand in hand.

Once outside the mansion, Sophia took me, I don't know where but the club was jam packed.

Oh yeah right, it was Friday today and from tomorrow weekend starts, that's why.

Making ourselves comfortable on the bar stool, we faced each other.

"What would you like to have?" Sophia asked me.

"Umm...I don't know, may be vodka?" I said, confused.

"Vodka it is then" she said and ordered vodka for us.

"Let's get drunk tonight" she said, handing me the glass and raising the toast, we gulped the drink in one go.

"Uhhh" I said.

"It's so bitter" I said, keeping the glass on the counter and scrunching my nose at the bitter taste.

"Well, it is if you drink for the first time" she said.

I just got red, listening to her and the she gasped.

"This really was your first drink?" she asked.

"Uhh...no actually. I accidently drank a cocktail which had maaza, vodka and whiskey when we were in college. That was my first drink and then a few days back I had wine when we all went for dinner" I said.

"Okay and since then?" she asked.

I shook my head.

"Then you should definitely get drunk tonight" she said and handed me the second glass.

I don't know how much time had passed and how many glasses had I drunk but everything felt so....light.

"Do you know something Sophia?" I asked, slurring.

"What?" she said, keeping her ninth, tenth, I don't know the number of glasses but she kept it on the counter.

"Akash is soooooo sweet" I said, counting the number of glasses on the counter.

"You think so?" she asked, counting the glasses with me.

"Yup" I said, popping the 'p'.

"And I feel like forgiving him" I said.

"Oh really?" she asked, her eyes lit like a Christmas tree.

"Yes, but I am still confused. What if he leaves me again?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

Keeping her hands on my shoulder, she said "I don't think he will."

"How do you know?" I asked, looking at her.

"He is scared to loose you, again" she said, slurring.

"Ek galti to bhagwaan bhi maaf kar dete hain, to fir insaan kya chiz hai?" she said, slurring.

(Even god forgives one mistake, so can humans)

We both were slurring but what she said, hit me really hard.

"What's going on between you and Adarsh?" I asked, slurring while taking my next shot.

"I don't know. He seems...confusing" she said, slurring, making patterns out of the glasses which we just drank from.

"Hmm...this pattern is good" I said, examining one circular pattern that she made from the glasses.

"Wait, let me take a picture" she said, excited and took a picture of it.

While I was gulping my next shot, I heard her gasp.

"What happened?" I asked, slurring.

"Uhhh...I think I sent the picture to Adarsh sir" she said, looking at me wide eyed.

I gasped listening to her.

"Accidently" she continued.

"Accidently?" I asked and she nodded.

"Ahhh...leave it" she said, dismissing and I shrugged.

"What if I sent him the picture, who cares?" she said and I nodded.

"Sophia, I think both the brothers are..." I said and trailed off because I wasn't getting the right word.

"Dumb?" she completed for me.

"Yeah, dumb" I said and grinned.

She grinned and said "who would say the most successful businessman and entrepreneur of this generation have zero IQ when it comes to girls."

"I agree" I slurred and started counting the glasses again.

"Sophia, don't you think the glasses have doubled?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

"Yeah, I think so" she said, concentrating on the glasses and started counting them again.

I gasped and said "Sophia, my eyes have become weak."

"Even my eyes have become week" she said and pouted.

Our lower lips quivered and before we know, we both were crying our eyes out.

"Our eyes are no more working" we both said while crying and we saw the nearby people giving us weird looks.

"Let me tell Akash" I said, wiping my tears and with great difficulty, took my phone out from the number of phones I had in my purse.

"No" Sophia said and snatched the phone from me.

I pouted and opened my purse again to take my second phone out but...it wasn't there.

"Sophia, Sophia, I did magic" I said, happily.

"How?" she asked, excitedly.

"You know, I had many phones in my purse but now, they are all gone" I said and clapped like an excited child.

"Oh my god, you are a magician now" she said and hugged me.

"But I want to tell Akash that our eyesight has gone weak" I said, breaking the hug.

"No. Don't tell them anything or those monsters will get our eyes operated today" she said, handing me the phone.

"Hmm...you are right" I said and kept the phone in my purse.

"No more talking about those...those...alpha males. Let's just forget that they exist, at least for tonight" she said.

"Okay" I said, pouting.

"Come. Let's have some fun" I heard Sophia say and I felt like I was being dragged somewhere.

The song changed and then we danced our heart out grinding to one another.

I was so happy, letting loose without a care in the world but suddenly I felt nauseous and without wasting a second, dashed to the washroom where I puked my guts out.

"Siya" I heard Sophia and then she entered the washroom.

Holding my hair back, she caressed my back and I spilled all the content out.

After around fifteen minutes, we both came out of the washroom but I was still feeling dizzy.

We both rested on the couch while Sophia made the payment.

"I have called Adarsh Sir to pick us up" she said and I nodded.

I am sure I was still in daze because I couldn't concentrate on what Sophia was saying.

"I am feeling sleepy" I mumbled and rested my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Our chauffers are on their way" she said, patting my head.

I know even she was drunk but she could handle alcohol where as I...well I couldn't.

After few minutes, I felt like I was flying in the air and opened my eyes to witness

Two Akash.

When I looked around, I saw even Sophia was flying along with me.

"Yayy Sophia, we're flying" I said.

"Yeppee" she yelled.

"Faster Chauffer" she yelled.

"Shut up Sophia" I heard a male voice and then

Everything was blank.

Akash's POV

We were on the couch, waiting for the girls when Adarsh's phone pinged indicating that he received a message.

Fishing his phone out, he checked the message and his eyes widened.

"Bhai, you need to see this" he said and and handed me his phone.

Looking at the picture my eyes widened.

"One two three...eighteen" I counted the number of glasses which were in arranged in a circular pattern and my eyes widened.

"Eighteen glasses? Are they out of their mind?" I asked and saw Adarsh fuming in anger.

"Sophia has already been in trouble once because of her drunk state, I don't want her to get into trouble again" he said, rubbing his hands on his forehead.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.

"Nothing Akash. Six months ago we went to finalize a deal in France and during the business party, an associate spiked her drink" he said, getting on his feet.

"Oh my god! She never told me about it" I asked.

"She...she was ashamed to tell it to anyone. If not for my observant nature I don't know what would have happened that day. It was so difficult to handle her that day and she...she had cried in my arms" he said, distressed and I felt like someone had punched me in the guts.

Instantly the office party where Kriti's drink was spiked by Sanchit clouded my mind and my hand fisted by my sides.

"She had promised me that day that she would not be reckless while drinking. I think I need to teach her a lesson now" he said, getting up from the couch and took his car keys.

"I'll come along. I don't know how many glasses has Siya had" I said and followed him.

"Do you know their location?" I asked and he stopped in his tracks.

"No" he said.

"Don't worry. I'll ask Mark to share their location" I said and turned to Mark who was in the kitchen, preparing something for himself.

"Mark, send me Siya's location" I said.

"Sure sir" he said and fishing his phone out, sent me her location.

"How did you get her location?" Adarsh asked as we seated in his car.

"I attached a tracker in her dress while I hugged her today before she went out" I said, fastening my seatbelt and feeding the address on GPS.

"Smart" he said, smiling.

"Well, you have to be when it comes to your girl" I said, shrugging.

While driving, Adarsh received a call.

"Yes, Sophia" he said, answering the call.

"Yes, tell me your address" he said after a while, winking at me and I shook my head.

After around five minutes, the call got disconnected.

"Why did you lie to her?" I asked, looking at him.

"She is smart. If she has the slightest idea that we are already on our way to them, she would tell it to Siya and then you would be in trouble as she would accuse you that you are tracking her" he said and I smiled.

"Thank you for saving me, brother" I said.

"Anytime, bhai" he said, smiling.

Once in the club, we saw both the girls on a booth and the sight just melted my heart.

Siya's head was on Sophia's shoulder and Sophia's head was rested on Siya's head.

"God, they loo so cute" I said and Adarsh glared at me.

"Stop gushing at your girl, bhai" he said, rolling his eyes and we both proceeded to the booth.

I took Siya in my arms while Sophia was in Adarsh's arms.

Just when I was approaching the exit, Siya opened her eyes and looked at me.

Then she looked around and her eyes stopped at Sophia who was in Adarsh's arms.

"Yayy Sophia, we're flying" she said.

"Yeppee" Sophia said.

"Faster Chauffer" Sophia yelled, wrapping her arms around Adarsh's neck.

"Shut up Sophia" I heard Adarsh say behind me and I chuckled.

When I looked back at Siya, she had her eyes closed, probably she slept.

Shaking my head, we both headed to Adarsh's car.

I sat in the middle of the seat along with Siya on the other end and Adarsh placed Sophia on my other side.

They both were fast asleep.

"This girl needs a lot of scolding. One incident wasn't enough to knock some senses in her head" Adarsh mumbled, taking the driver seat and I smiled.

"You really care for her" I said, pointing at Sophia who was asleep on my shoulder.

"I have to, or my entire family including you would have my head for breakfast, lunch and dinner" he said, rolling his eyes.

I chuckled and then turned to Siya who had her head rested on my shoulder.

I kissed her hair and she stirred in her sleep.

After around half an hour, we reached our mansion and Adarsh took Sophia to her room while I took Siya to my room.

Placing her gently on the bed, I caressed her head and kissed her forehead.

Coming to her feet, I gently slid her heels off her feet , making sure not to wake her up and placed them in a corner, neatly, just as she likes it.

I then saw her stirring in her deep slumber and mumbling something.

Going to her, I caressed her cheeks one last time and switched off the bedside lamp.

As soon as I was about to exit the room, I felt her grasping my hand and I turned around.

I saw her lips moving and then I crouched down to her level, to listen to what she was saying.

"Please make this pain go away, Akash" I heard her mumble when I strained my ears to listen to what she was saying and I looked at her.

Tears slipped my eyes and I wiped them away.

"I will make everything all right, Siya, I promise but that is not possible unless you trust me and give me a chance. One chance Siya and I will show you how precious you are, to me, my family. I promise to make all your pain go away and treat you like a queen that you are, my queen" I whispered and kissed her forehead.

When she didn't mumble anything for the next few seconds, I sighed in disappointment, thinking that she was probably asleep.

I was about to get up when I heard her mumble something that made my breath hitch.

"I forgive you" she mumbled.
