"Another beer to calm the nerves?"
A loud burst of laughter. "Rishabh doesn't need anything to calm him down. He's going to be full on man! Can't afford to disappoint bhabhi, right?" This was promptly followed by another outburst of mirth.
Rishabh submitted to several friendly thumps on his back and returned them with the obligatory wry smile, that could be interpreted any which way desired.
And yes, he hadn't let a single drop of alcohol pass through his gullet, not because he was anxious to perform well on his wedding night and impress his brand new wife. Rather, he wanted to keep all his faculties intact, so to confirm the suspicion that had been gnawing at his brain ever since the wedding ceremony. And with each moment that passed, his unease grew in intensity.
Unable to bide time any longer, he stood up and marched toward his room paying no heed to the numerous whistles and catcalls that followed in his wake.
Thrusting the door wide open he strode toward the marital bed. It was bare except for his bride's wedding finery that lay in a neat pile in one corner. Heart now pounding painfully hard in his chest, he scanned the vicinity fervently hoping that his concerns weren't true.
He approached the balcony door that lay wide open, and felt his pulse slow down slightly. Perhaps he'd been just imagining it all?
A girl stood there leaning against the railing, her face upturned toward the full moon. Hearing him approach she turned around, "Finally! I've been waiting like forever!"
He frowned, straining to peruse her features obscured by deep shadow, "Deepika?"
"Naa..., not Deepika." She stepped forward into the light; a bright smile illuminating her beautiful face.
His heart sank.
"My name is Madhu, Goodbye Rishabh."
