Fiasco-an event that does not succeed, often in a way that causes embarrassment

F I A S C O

•••••••••••••

"Ragu?" I asked, as she danced around the washroom.

It was our luck that we didn't get any audience or intruder in the washroom. Or else I have no clue how it would have ended. Ragini had gone insane, the alcohol had affected her so badly.

After firing those bullets at our 'enemy' she started doing a victory dance. Swining, shaking her hair as danced.

"lAksH, why yoU no danCing, DaNCe yU oLDY!" She screeched jumping.

Old? Like seriously. Why the heck does she think I am old? I am not even thirty, yet. Looking my face in the mirror infront trying to see any wrinkles but found none.

Thankfully.

"I am not old okay?" I tried convincing her.

With this she started laughing like a maniac, is she laughing because she thinks I am convincing myself saying this? Or is it because she was kidding?

It should be the latter.

"OoooHHHHoo!!! LaKssss who u girlfRienD?" She spurred serious this time.

"Uhm?" I am so confused? Doesn't she remember that just an hour back I said she was my girlfriend?

Moving towards me pointing and placing her finger on my chest, she angrily looked.

"YOu sHoULD nO gIR FrIend!! yOu mINe!! mE yuR gUrLFrIenD! OkAy?" She stated looking as serious as possible.

I was ecstatic, no doubt.

"I am yours." I uttered, I don't know whether she meant that or not, or would she remember this yet in my mind I had told her, and I would stand true to my words.

"YaYYY!!" She giggled like a child.

It was already late enough and I had to get her home as quick as possible.

Having no other option, I picked her up bridal style and exited the washroom.

"Wooooooo!!! mE flYIng!!!"

"LAkssss SeeE tHe flOrr moVinGg!!"

"Woooohoooo!!"

"Hahehuheyi!!"

"Ragu?"

"Wrreeeioooopppppa yuio!!"

"What?"

"Lloooouuuewwwuuu!!"

"Huh?"

"Eeeediiiaath!"

Placing her on the passanger seat and strapping the seat belt I moved towards the driving seat.

Handling drunk Ragini had become fun now, seeing her all giggling and carefree made me happy.

•••••••••••

Back to present!

This Ragu, the great in the middle of our way became so hungry that she shouted and shouted till I actually had to stop at a dhabbha.

Instructing her to sit quietly and inside the car, also locking the door from outside, I went to bring some food. The car had ac onn for a long time so sitting there without ac wasn't much of a problem.

But how could I forget she was Ragini and on top of that she was now the drunk ragini.

When I came back, what do I see?

I see Ragini Mehta sitting on the road singing, "Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz rhyme!!"

My car no where to be seen, she had her phone and purse intact but my car was nowhere, as if earth had swallowed it.

"Ragu where is my car?" I ask handing her the food.

Without answering she started opening the box and eating the roti and paneer inside.

Priorites are set.

Who am I?

No one!

"UR cAr broooom bhroooom bhrooooooom!" She made the brhoom sound indicating it went.

Why am I with her now?

I stood their waiting untill she finished and as soon as she did, I helped her up.

"Zaraaaa sa jhoom lu mein!" She started singing and moving on the road alone.

Following her I heard her singing and stumbling on the stone free road.

Way too goo.

"LaKsh? WHy dog a DOg callEd?

"Its name."

"LaKsh! WhY thE-"

"Fuck it has started raining!!" I cut her off seeing the amount of water droplets falling.

It is raining now, perfect.

"Woohohogog!! Wwatter!! Bbaariss!! Rainu!!" She said twirling in the rain her arms open.

Her yellow top was drenched completely and so was my white shirt. Her hair, wet sticking on her face and on her lips.

"WhAat gOes up when the RaiN comes DowRn?

"What?"

"Aan uMberellllaaaaaaa!! Foolll!"

"Huh?"

And then out of no where she starts singing, "meeeinn kyaa karuu raaam, mujhe BUDDHA mil gayyaaa!!"

"Excuse me?"

Repeating that line again and again and twirling.

Finally I had enough, walking towards her and holding her arm I swirled her to face me.

Her whole face was drenched, hair sticking and her lips trembling.

"I. Am. Not. Old!" I yell still holding and pinning her to the place.

We were close, that close, that I could feel her uneven breathing, that close which allowed me to see her emotions.

I was still so was she untill she started bring her face more closer, her eyes first eyeing my eyes and then my lips back to my eyes. When she was close enough, her eyes shut. All my control was on the edge, tied to a thin string. My eyes twitched to close and my lips dying to lock on hers.

Yet I knew she was out of her mind, she supposedly has no idea what she is doing. I don't want to wake up to the news that she regretted last night. So I decided the best, taking this as the moment ; I picked her up and started walking.

My house was around a five minute walk from here, so I decided it would be best if she crashed my house for today as there was no point dropping her home in such rain and plus when she was this drunk.

She kept on mumbling during our walk untill she fall asleep.

➖➖➖➖

I reached home around 10:30-11. The whole house was empty as Ma, Papa had gone for some event outstation. Closing the door shut, I walked to the room along with Ragini.

I had messaged Sanskaar about the whole drink exchange fiasco and that I was taking her to my house.

With a subtle warning-" don't you dare do anything wrong," and laughing over it, he agreed.

Placing her on the bed I went inside the washroom to change and dry myself.

Came back and now

The most important question is how do I dry Ragini?

I wouldn't want to change her and then find my arms cut by the morning.

I took the towel and dried the left over water drops from her face, arms and legs. And also dried her hair.

Removing a pair of tshirt and a sweatpant from my closet, I decided to wake her up.

She was already cold, so we both needed a coffee or tea aswell. Or by morning, illness would knock our doors.

••••

As I returned with two mugs of hot coffee, I noticed Ragu already changed into my clothes and asleep. Keeping the tray on the side table, I covered her with a duvet and tucked the strand of her hair behing her ears.

She looked peaceful.

Pecking her forehead, I thought.

"What are you doing to me Ragu? You are making me fall for you without even trying. And I ain't able to stop myself. Instead I am happy."
