Nishant was already up, Sushant could hear his voice. And there was this other voice too. The voice of a woman. Was it the same woman?
His interest was picqued.
Stealthily Sushant climbed down and positioned himself beside the half ajar door of the study.
"Give me something concrete. Why cant you understand how deep the trouble is? It's all over the social media now.... talk girl.... this trouble is bigger than the eyes meet"
The girl said something but it was too faint for Sushant to hear. He contemplated mentally... Was it worth burging in? But didn't he hear Nishant mentioning Social media?
Nishant Saxena was Sushant's elder brother cum PR Manager. He was the person behind making of Sushant Saxena.... the glamorous Author. So if he was worried about something being in the Social media, shouldn't he be worried too?
After a moment of hesitation, Sushant decided to knock.
STOP FUCKING AROUND AND GET IN MAN. YOU OWE ME AN EXPLANATION.
Sushant was thunderstruck.
His brother was well known for his smooth talking and jovial nature. What the hell awakened this beast?
He stepped in only to be greeted by his hostile brother and the teary eyed girl. The same girl from the morning.
" Care to explain who this is?" Nishant was practically howling.
" I dont know. I just woke up beside her. And trust me, I didn't sleep with her. We were dressed and descent and .... you Miss, tell him"
Sushant himself wanted an answer.
The girl gulped some water and wiped tears from her cheeks ,
" Sir, I already told this man. I was drinking cocktail and enjoying the beats and then suddenly I started feeling sick. And a nice lady helped me to a room and asked me to rest a bit and I guess I passed out. The next thing I knew was Mr. Saxena splashing me with water to wake me up in the morning. I woke up fully dressed , how can that be me in that semi nude pictures? Ask him."
Her voice was soft , sweet and almost inaudible.
But right then , it was like poison to Sushant's ears.
WHAT PICTURES?
Sushant felt anxious.
In the past four years he steadily worked towards making this image and he never had been into a scandal. He was in the process of getting himself an election ticket under the banner of the biggest political party of the Country. How could it happen at this juncture?
BRO... WHAT PICTURES? TELL ME.
Nishant nodded disapprovingly.
"You check your Instagram. Let me handle the paparazzi. Else I can't sneak this woman out" and with that he was gone leaving a hyperventilating Sushant behind.
