Child with pouting face

I stepped into the backseat of the car. As the car gained speed, brown road started devouring white lines, till there is pitch brown. There was kind of silence, as if everyone was expecting me to crack a joke. Suddenly, white lines appeared again, a girl came into the car.Everyone got interested in her. She seemed into early thirties. For the first time i was happy to be with a girl. She took limelight away from me. I got dissolved in my own silence. My eyes got lit as i approached same old bar.
        There was a loud noise in the corridor. We took seat against the bar. As usual i took the last one, just before which light gives up. Clock struck eleven. Most of the lights are silenced. Silence of lights gave open to the foul plays. In the dim light i could see the meeting of couple of lips. Some of them lit up the cigarette.Singing turned into shouting as a proof that they know the song word by word. Admist of all  there was a girl silently watching her drink, all alone. Seat next to her was empty I turned to bartender.

Me - Who is that girl
Bartender - You beeter stay away from her"
Me - With the chuckle. Why?
Bartender - Just think, how can the seat next to a beautiful girl be empty where everyone is drunk.
Me - Silenced types?
Bartender - Partly silenced type mostly arrogant.
Ravi - You asking about a girl. Now that's a new development. Who is she?
Ravi pointed towards the corner and asked, "She?". I nodded in reply.
Ravi -Stay away from her. You are already going through a lot lately. And you don't have experience of    hitting a girl.
Me - You guys are pathetic.
Ravi - "There is no friendship between a girl and a boy." And he starts grinning.

I took my drink and approached to her desk. As i went near her desk, she gave a glance of indifference. Due to scarcity of light her features were barely visible. But it was enough to comprehend it was personification of beautiful dusk. As i took seat in front of her. She lowered her eyes with a conscious effort of avoiding an acquaintance.
"You are not much of a drinker".
Her eyelid move upwards in the interrogation tone.
Isn't it pine-apple juice.
Hmm, she replied.
Despite of subtle effort to not point out her eyes goes towards a couple dancing enthusiastically.
They seems quite drunk, especially the girl.
Isn't the song is sad.
Her face shown the desperate attempt to the control her smile.
I am  ..... Whats your name.
"....."
I was wondering whether the name is true or not. Than i added " Its your first time in the pub?"
"Nope, haven't you asked your friends already."
Only thing i can do was grinning.
Suddenly friend came with my phone in his hand. Drew me to the side. As we walked towards the bar.
Some Pradeep guy is shot.
My eyes went open in amazement, my hands lost the power to hold the beer.
Ravi asked, "Who is he?"
"My Brother"
