Abhi: (I don't know what to say to her now. Ugh, you stupid Abhi, why did you do that?)
Umm...
(I looked at her face to analyze her mood. Is she angry? But she's looking behind me… I turned around and saw Mark arguing with the guard. She's on her way to her brother, so I guess I'm saved. I don't know what to say either, so this is actually good for me. Unless her brother saw us, let's just hope he didn't. I walked behind her, grabbed the suit from the floor, and draped it over her from behind before walking toward the door.)
Ishana: (I walked inside, and Abhi opened the door for me, putting his suit over my shoulders.)
What happened, bro?
Mark: Oh, you're here! I guess the argument's over now, right?
Guard: Umm… yes, sir.
Mark: Now, if you'll excuse us!
Guard: Oh, yes… I'll head downstairs.
Abhi: What happened?
Mark: Nothing, bro… I'll tell you some other time. I think you should head to your room. Your clothes are still wet.
Abhi: Hmm.
(We went to the lift, and I pressed the button while waiting for it to arrive.)
Mark: (I took the suit and threw it on the floor, handing it to Khushi.
We all got in the lift.)
What's wrong, Ishana? Your face is red!
Khushi: (I kicked his leg when he started teasing Ishana.)
Mark: (I looked at Khushi, who was kicking my legs.)
Aah! That hurts!
Ishana: Huh?
Abhi: (I looked back, confused.)
Khushi: (What the heck does he think he's doing? Now Abhi and Ishana are both looking at us.)
Mark, seriously?
Mark: Just kidding, guys.
(The lift doors opened.)
Let's go to our rooms!
Abhi: (I didn't want to go into the room. What should I say?)
Bro, I need to talk to you about something.
Mark: Me? At this time?
Abhi: Umm, yes…
Mark: Okay, say it.
Abhi: Not here.
Mark: Then where?
Abhi: (I looked around.)
Mark: Guys, you go ahead—we'll catch up in a bit.
Khushi: Okay.
(I started walking to our room with Ishana.)
Mark: What's going on? Say it!
Abhi: Umm…
Mark: Bro, you need to speak so I can understand you. I can't guess what you're trying to say!
Abhi: Hmm… (What should I say? I don't want to go in the room with her tonight.)
Ahh, I need to find an excuse to get another room.
Mark: (What's wrong with him? Is he scared? Don't tell me... seriously!)
By any chance, are you scared to go into the room? Or are you scared to be alone with my sister?
Abhi: N-no, it's not like that. Why would I be scared of my soon-to-be wife, right?
Mark: Yeah, then what is it, Abhi?
I guess we should talk in the morning. Tonight is important for both of us, right?
Let's talk in the morning. For now, let's just go to our rooms.
Abhi: No… I can't.
Mark: Huh?
Abhi: I mean… I think it's too early for this. I'll get another room, and let's sleep separately.
Mark: Did you guys fight?
Abhi: No, I just don't think it's right.
Mark: Any specific reason, bro?
Abhi: Umm, no.
Mark: Then there's no going back, bro. You're staying in the same room, and that's final.
You should grab the opportunity, why are you trying to avoid it?
Abhi: (Now what should I say?! Uhh.)
It's not like I'm trying to avoid anything. I just wanted to talk to you.
Mark: Talk to me? Bro, your wife might not be waiting for you, but mine is already waiting for me!
So I should take my leave now.
Abhi: Hmm… You go first, I'll be back in some time.
Mark: Where are you going at this time?
Abhi: Just want to walk around.
Mark: It's not time to walk around. It's already 10:55, and on top of that, aren't you cold?
I mean, you're still wet. You should hurry back to your room and get changed, or you'll catch a cold.
(I guess I'll have to make sure he goes back to his room as soon as possible. What if she falls asleep?)
Abhi: I don't feel good. I feel suffocated. I need some air, so I'm going back to the terrace.
(And I won't be back until she falls asleep.)
Mark: Shut up, Abhi. There's no going back. (I put my hand on his shoulder and dragged him toward his room.)
Bro, everyone feels suffocated after kissing, you know.
If you want to feel good, you need to head back to your room!
Abhi: What are you saying?
Mark: What?! Girls aren't around, so what are you afraid of?
Abhi: It's just… weird.
Mark: Weird? Dude, just let go of yourself! Let yourself free. Don't think about what's wrong or right tonight! Just enjoy it!
Abhi: (Ah, I don't know what I'll do if I go into the room tonight!)
Crap.
First, I don't know how I lost control and kissed her…
I'm not confident enough in myself today.)
Mark: What are you thinking?
Abhi: Nothing…
Mark: Don't overthink it, dude.
Abhi: Hmm…
Mark: Show some excitement, bro.
Abhi: *(Excitement?! About losing control?!)
Abhi, it was just because she looked really pretty today that I lost control…
Yeah, right!
If she asked me, "Why did you kiss me?" I'd say, "You were so pretty that I lost control."
But I can still lose control! So you better stay away from me!
Uhhh.
Mark: Bro, are you listening?
Abhi: Yeah.
Mark: Let me ask you a personal question. Don't mind, can I?
Abhi: Yeah.
Mark: Have you slept with her before?
Abhi: No, never.
Mark: You don't need to panic, bro. I'm just asking casually.
Just because I saw you two on the terrace, I thought… a little ahead.
Abhi: Ahh, it was just an accident…
I didn't mean to!
I… I lost control.
I wasn't thinking!
I don't even know what I was thinking!
It… felt like a dream.
I didn't even realize it.
Mark: Wow… wow… bro, you've got millions of explanations.
Was that the first?
Abhi: Umm… Yes.
Mark: The first in your whole life, or with Ishana?
Abhi: Both.
Mark: Wah!!! Seriously? (Then I captured something really precious!)
Abhi: Hmm.
Mark: Anyway, your room's here.
I got a tip for you—start with her neck or head.
She'll definitely give in. Speaking from experience!
Abhi: Huh?!
Mark: (I guess he didn't catch what I was trying to say.)
Do I need to make it clearer?
What are you going to do in there?
Abhi: Oh, you don't need to tell me.
Mark: What else can I do? After all, it's both of your first times, so as an elder, I thought I should give you some tips.
Abhi: Okay, okay, I'm going in!!
Mark: Hmm.
(I opened the door to his room and made him go in.
But I'm not sure if he'll stay inside. Ugh, let's make sure this arrangement is set.
I called the manager and asked him to disable the lock until morning. Also, have them take their clothes from the room before disabling the lock. I guess everything's set now.)
Ishana: What were you guys arguing about
on the terrace?
