Enraptured by you ( On Hold)

My new life

Pavithra

I got my parcel, went upstairs and locked the door. Should I run away? Where to? Should I tell Papa about this. What could he do, he would be very worried. That man was surely not friendly.

I couldn't sleep as the day kept repeating in my head. I could swear that I heard a gun shot at around 2am, which made me even more frightened. I tried to sleep, but even in my sleep mystery man didn't leave me. In my dream he came holding that same gun to me, and I tried to convince him on not to shoot me. But then he did shoot and I woke up in a pool of sweat, with my heart pacing.

Somehow I fell asleep and when I woke, it was morning. Someone knocked the door , but I didn't open.

"Pavithra, are you up", it was Prem's voice. Was Prem his apprentice? Anyways, I had to get out of the house, so I opened the door.

Prem was wearing casual wear. He looked so different to that man, how were they friends?

"Care to join us for breakfast?", he asked

"My luggage?"

"I have it"

"Ok.. I have to search for a PG"

"Yes, Im so sorry about yesterday, I feel really bad and I want to make it up to you, do join us for breakfast, I'll find you a PG after that", he said

I nodded and got ready after he left. I combed my long hair, took a bath and changed to my green kurti. I got down, I hesitated before the door. i rang the bell, thankfully Prem opened it.

"Come in Pavi, it's ok if I call you that right?"

"Sure"

He took me to the dining table, where "HE" was seated. His hair was messy, and all over his forehead. He was wearing a casual shirt and shorts.
He had a plate of omelette, which he was eating.
He didn't turn towards me.

I didn't want to sit near him, so I sat on the other side. My dream passed through my eyes and I shivered. I looked at the sofa, there was no gun there. I had seen it yesterday and perhaps heard the shot too.

"D, you have contacts right? find a good PG?", Prem asked Dhruv.

"My contacts aren't for finding PGs", Dhruv said tonelessly, as I helped myself to some toast.

"All right, I'll do it myself, "Prem said and looked at me.

"When is your joining?", Prem asked

"Tomorrow", I said

"My office is nearby you know?", he said. I nodded

Prem made a few calls to find a PG. Dhruv finished his breakfast, went to the sofa, took a newspaper and started reading it.
Does he have a job? Probably not. an unemployed man or .was he a gangster? Rowdy? Don? Serial Killer?

The last thought was probably a joke, I mean, serial killer was too much right...
He suddenly looked at me and I turned away. He could probably do modelling with all those abs.

Prem had found me a PG, and we went there by his car. I wondered why Dhruv followed us. He seemed the least interested.

We reached and spoke with the warden. As the guys weren't allowed, I had to go up myself. There was a girl nearby, starting at the man next to me.

"What?", Dhruv asked harshly, to which the girl shook her head and walked away.

After saying my goodbyes, I went to my room. Finally away from all that.. My roommate was inside. She had specs and was reading a book.
