In the evening of a Thursday, after Henry had closed from work, he decided to go watch a football match in a bar that's a throw away from his house, and Jana, his newly acquired fiance, who found it so lonely at home, suggested she follow him.
"Baby, I'm tired of staying alone in this big house. I'm coming with you."
Henry quickly countered it because he knew how disturbing it is to watch football with women. "No, stay at home; I'll be right back in two hours. Besides, it's football I'm going to watch and nothing else".
Upon hearing this, Jana's face changed, and she began to nag, "Who said I'm going to disturb you while watching a match? I'm just going to be there with a drink while you concentrate on your match. If you refuse to take me along, that means you're up to something."
"What?... Okay, dress up, let's go." Henry has a weakness for women's nagging; he succumbed to her request, and they left to the bar after 10 minutes.
They got there, a very local bar with worn-out sofas organised in a suit-your-self manner. The only TV screen there was fixed at the top of a wall where everyone could see no matter where they were seated. Henry has his favorite spot already, so they walked to the extreme end of the small hall and sat down.
Match had not started; they came 1 hour earlier, Henry waved at the waitress; she came and asked for their orders.
"Just give me a bottle of Maltina," Jana said.
"Is that all?" Henry asked, looking surprised.
"Yes, I'm okay with that and you know that I don't take alcohol"
"Do you have a medium bottle of Best drink?" Henry asked the waitress, and she nodded in affirmation.
"Okay, get it."
The waitress walked away, and within a minute, she returned with their orders. She loaded them on the table with a bottle opener, two glasses, and a straw and she walked away.
They began to sip their drinks in a lovey-dovey mood; Jana's head resting on Henry's shoulder, and a soft music was on the background, making them feel a movie scene-like kind of love.
Very soon, Henry's phone rang, and as he picked up his call, Jana reached out to Henry's glass and sipped his drink.
"Mmmmm, this tastes good." She was expecting to feel the harsh taste of alcohol, but instead, she met a sugary taste, and her face was put in a smiling mood as she took the first sip.
She didn't just stop there; she began to gulp from the cup out of its sweetness, and Henry had to excuse his conversation on the phone to stop her. "Stop! This is not Coca-Cola, it's alcohol!"
The yell sent a deep warning to her, but she didn't care; she just wanted more of the tasty alcoholic drinks. "Babe, please let me have more. Do not worry, I don't easily fall for alcohol."
"Are you sure of this?" Henry asked her, looking directly into her face.
"Yes, give me," she said, stretching her hands to get it from where Henry shifted the bottle and the glass.
"Okay, have it, but..." His phone rang again, and he got up and walked away from the scene to answer the call.
As she continued feasting on the drink by herself, very soon she noticed herself caught in its intoxicating grip but she never cared. Within 20 minutes, the alcohol's effects became apparent as Jana's inhibitions dissolved, prompting her to unleash a spontaneous and funny dance routine.
At first, Henry thought it was just her love for danceable beats, but her uncoordinated and erratic movements drew his attention and that of the public.
"Stop, let's go." He attempted to rein her in, but his efforts fell on deaf ears as Jana persisted.
The situation took a distressing turn when Jana's balance failed her, leading to a humiliating stumble.. Henry had to rush her and caged her to himself with his hands wrapped around her in order to make her stop but Jana's reaction was pulling signs like those of a possessed lady. To make matters worse, the alcohol's backlash resulted in uncontrollable vomiting, leaving Henry totally embarrassed.
He really got fed up and wanted to leave her and go away, but the Bar is kind of close to his house, and the people around him knew him.
He went out, got a bikeman, and carried Jana in, and they left the scene after he tipped the waitress a little money to help clean up the mess on the floor.
