Not always well begun..!! - Part 1

“Come on Pallika, you have never been to a disc, it would be great fun. Trust me.”

Prutha was continuously insisting Pallika to join her to go to this disc which was supposed to host the best parties in the city. She was invited by a guy, she was currently dating. He had a couple of friends with him, so Prutha did not want to go alone.

“Prutha, he is your date, what do I do there?”

“Come on, he is bringing some friends. We will find your soul mate today for sure.”                         

“Okay, I will join you. But do you know him so well that we should go out with him so late?”

“Yes honey, I guess I am already in love with him.”

“You just virtually met him over Facebook last month.”

“Whatever, I might love him once I meet him practically.”

Pallika ignoring all the explanations Prutha was giving her, went in the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for this happening party they were to attend. She got into a pair of jeans and a black net sleeved top on it.

“Are you seriously wearing this?”

“Yeah, it is one of my favourites, plus black makes me look thinner.”

“I need you to understand that we are going to the biggest party bash in town, you have to show a little skin to be eligible to attend that party.”

“I do not understand you.”

“God save us, please go remove this and wear a dress I give you.”

Prutha herself got into a white poncho styled knee length dress, the loose fit helped camouflage her healthy figure. She was short but looked quite adorable in this apparel. She handed Pallika a blue knee length off shoulder dress, which perfectly flaunted her curves. She looked very pretty even with minimal eye makeup, a lipgloss and hair left open.

With this, both the young, sexy and gorgeous looking women looking forward for a fun night, walked down their apartment where a car had come to escort them. The driver handed Prutha a bouquet of flowers and told her that Siddharth had sent him.

“What the Fuck, it’s an Audi?”, Pallika was shocked to see the car she was supposed to travel in tonight. She had more or less the same feelings that Cindrella had the night she went to the Palace Ball. The only difference, her fairy God-mother here was Prutha.

“Yes, I told you I am already started loving him.”

“I love you.” Pallika said this to Prutha and hugged her tight in excitement. She just wanted to go to the party as soon as possible now.

The disc had a real good ambience. There were Neon lights flashing through the crowds, there was trance music playing very loudly, the beats were enough to make anybody groove. There were lots of people in bright and conjured garments. There were some group of friends either chit chatting on the nearby couches or dancing on the floor. Both the found it a little awkward to see some couples seated at corners, finding themselves private spaces, displaying affection publically. There were also some loners seated aloof with a drink in their hand, observing others on the dance floor.

Prutha and Pallika went shocked seeing the ambience. It was the first time both of them had been to a disc, and they were excited as hell. In all this glitter and glamour, they did not notice a guy standing next to them. He waved at Prutha to distract her from all the jitter she was lost into. Prutha saw this guy, average heighted, wheat complexion and a good personality. That was Siddharth, the Audi guy, whom Prutha had met on Facebook and had been chatting with for over a month. After rigorous chats over FB, they had exchanged numbers and used to text and call each other continuously. Siddharth had described himself as the son of a leading construction company owner. His car, Tissot watch and the black Gucci shirt he was wearing sure did prove that part.

He led Prutha and Pallika to a private area mentioned space, where only Siddharth and his friends were allowed. It seemed as if Siddharth had booked that part of the disc for his friends.

“Hi, we finally meet. You look great in this attire.” Siddharth said this to Prutha with a hug.

“You look good, too. And thanks for sending the car, it was quite kind of you. By the way, this is Pallika.” Prutha was a little nervous, and it was quite obvious to both Siddharth and Pallika with the way she was talking.

Siddharth introduced both the girls to his friends, there were two girls and three guys, and all were dressed nothing less than Gucci, Mango or Zara. Prutha and Pallika guessed that the girls must have been the whole day in a parlour looking at their flawless make up and neat hair styling. Their dresses were too far more exposing and glittering than theirs. The whole ambience and crowd seemed like those Page 3 parties shown on television.

Siddharth got a tray of Vodka shots for the group, and each one had to compulsorily have one. Even after denying the liquor, Pallika had to finally give in and atleast try once. The raw shot went through her throat causing a warm and burning sensation that instantly reached her brains. The feeling was different, but somehow she liked it. She felt empty and loosened up.

“This is just the beginning of the night” Siddharth shouted out loudly to both the girls, who just had their first shot of High.
