"Mukti? Hey, do you perhaps know where Manik is?"I asked her on the phone his sister must know where he was right?

It was 2 hours later and I still didn't know where he was. It wasn't only 2 hours later but also a hundred tears later

I've been walking around the city with non-stop tears falling down my cheek how can this happen? Why didn't he just tell me what was going on? I would have supported him, I would have been there for him

MUKTI: "He's at a party a few blocks away from our house. What's wrong Nandini?" she responded worried

"Nothing, I'm just looking for him," I said so she would stop asking the question

I wasn't lying, I was really looking for him

I guess Manik hasn't told his own family either otherwise his mother or sister would have told me

You know, I would never go to a party but this is an emergency.

I just hope he's there...God, please let him be there

I arrived at, what seemed like a party

Fancy house, loud music, and people talking, dancing, and kissing

I entered the house and immediately felt uncomfortable. People were staring at me like I was some alien that had just landed on earth

"A hijabi at a party?Hell yeah!"I heard a guy shout

Great, I'm gonna find Manik and get the freak out of this hell-hole

"Hey, Nandini right?" Some guy said when he approached me.

As soon as he did that, a few other guys backed him up by standing next to him

"I'm only looking for Manik, not interested" I responded

I already have been through a situation like this before, I'm not interested in another one

"Guys, did you hear that? She's not interested...Since when do we care when a girl is not interested huh?!"The guy said making everyone cheer as a confirmation.

"Back off Rohit, not cool bro," Another guy, who I have never seen before said

"Don't you dare play the good guy now Aman"The Rohit guy responded

Okay so his name is Rohit

"Thank you, but I can handle myself"And I meant it, I have experience on everything that included jerks

"Fine" Aman said and left

"Okay Rohit, I have no idea who you are, and to be honest, I don't really care...So why don't you or someone else just tell me where I can find Manik instead of being a giant douche" I was pretty mad at this moment

Everyone looked shocked when I said, whatever, I'm known as a girl with the big mouth after all.

MANIK: "I'm here" he responded standing between that Rohit guy and me

He faced me and everybody was still stang at us

MANIK: "What do you want?" he asked

"Can we talk?" I asked "In private," I said looking at the crowd

MANIK: "Not interested" he responded

I could smell the alcohol in the room, but I could also smell it in his breath, he has been drinking...I thought he stopped?
