They walked out of the elevator into the almost vacant parking lot. She stumbled, he held her.
"You've had way too much to drink today. I think you should get a cab."
"I'm fine. I can totally drive. Don't worry so much, honey!!" she said nonchalantly. He tried to talk sense into her, but all in vain.
She got into her car and sped out of the parking lot. He stood there and stared helplessly as her car vanished out of sight. But he could not stop worrying just like that!!! He rushed to his car and buckled his seatbelt.
He was about to leave when his phone rang.... it was her!!! She had probably realised her foolishness. He answered it only to hear a strange voice at the other end...
"Aap madam ko jaante hain kya?? Unka accident hua hai!!!"

He: Bhai... Could you please inform me which hospital they've taken her? I don't have guts to come to accident spot. I'll tackle police..
Stranger: HOSPITAL..???!!! The sexy Audi RS7 is battered. It's towed to some Ramakant Garage. Say goodbye to original parts. Your original gf is perfectly safe. Audi main thi. Nano main nhi. She's here..le bat kar.
She: Hel..Hello... I've met...
He: I'm busy. (Disconnets the call)
Awesome continuation to the story!!! Maybe we can collaborate for short storiesππ!! Thank you for visiting our blogpost..
DeleteSuch reckless behaviour often results in fatal accidents. People don't realise the serious repercussions of drinking and driving. They risk not just their lives but many others too. A very gentle reminder that life is precious. A good take on the prompt, Prasanna.
