Many of you are disappointed by Annika's behaviour. There is a reason behind it. I will reveal it at the right time🙂
.
I have a request. There is writer NishaMahalakshmi. Please support her...🙏🏻
~~~~~~~~~~~
Bhavya&shivaay were passing through the corridor while talking. Midway, they noticed a crowd. A girl's shout could hear. They peeped in it with a frown. Annika was shouting at the librarian
A: how could you so irresponsible? Couldn't you check once inside, before locking the door?
L: time was already 6:30 when I locked it. I thought everyone might have gone
A: your job is not to assume things. You should have checked. We don't need an irresponsible worker. You are fired.
L: I am sorry mam
A: my decision is final. You can go
Shivaay wondered how she can fire a worker since she is just a student here.
S: bhavya how she can fire him?
He asked bhavya who was witnessing the scene with so much attention
B: this college belongs to her dad
S: ooh. That's why she is so egoistic
B: hmm
The atmosphere became normal. The crowd dispersed. Shivaay continued the talk while walking
S: hmm. I had wondered why everyone was afraid of her. Now my doubt got cleared
B: who is afraid?
S: as long as I know no one raised voiced in front of her except me
He didn't forget to plaster a proud smile
B: I am also not afraid of her
S: ooh really?? Then why you bent your head when she ragged you
B: bhaiyya. Do you know? I am a strong girl. I know, you just saw my weak side till now. Because my hair and my brother is my weakness. Believe me.. I am not afraid of her. Why should I? She is just a human. She can't eat me raw. But I am afraid of her powers. Her dad won't reject her single word. She is his one and only daughter. So everyone is afraid of her powers. If she was a normal student I would never let her touch my hair
S: good. Be strong always
When he normally glanced through the floor, a photo caught his attention. He took it. It had a picture of two young girls. A girl seems 17 or 18 years old while the other seems 10 years old. The older girl is standing behind the younger one, wrapping hands around her neck and keeping her chin on her shoulder. Indeed it was a nice click. Shivaay recognised the young girl. She has the face cut of Annika.
B: bhaiyya. Isn't it Annika?
S: I think so
B: it might have fallen from her.
S: give to her
He forwarded the photo
B: me
She exclaimed with a horrified face
S: I had heard that there was someone who is not afraid of annika
He mocked her
B: me.. I mean how I can. Even I am not in Her batch. Your the one who takes lecture in her class. So it would be easy for you to give it to her
She tried to act normal
S: hmm.. Let me try
He inserted the photo in his pocket
***************
SO: oh God. Yesterday you got stuck in the library. Then who unlocked the door?
A: there...was a student
R: but. That was quite late right. Then how can a student be there
A: do you have any problem in believing me?
R: heey.. No..no. I was just asking with the flow
A: hmm
SO: was it a girl or boy?
A: gi..rl
S: ooh. Junior or our classmate?
A: why are you questioning me like a culprit? will you stop now?
She was already struggling to make up the lies and here, soumya showering questions on her. That was enough to irritate her. Even, she doesn't know why she lied to them? Maybe, she doesn't wanna give the credit to shivaay.
***************
Shivaay entered the class. Annika was searching for something like a mad. She scattered everything here and there while searching every corner of the class. Other students were watching her madness being astonished. Shivaay moved towards her and poked on her shoulder. She continues her work without turning behind. He took the photo from his pocket and stretched it out in front of her
S: is it yours?
She stood up stirring her lips in order to smile between her tears. Her eyes were reddish. Shivaay was shocked when met her eyes. A girl who always being an egoist and rude, now standing in tears. Every student was shocked. He could clearly conclude, yes they are watching her like this for the first time. She snatched the photo from my grip
A: thank you
She muttered and went to her seat
Shivaay rubbed his ear. Did my ears got damaged or the sun raised from the west. Did she just say thanks? How is it possible? She was adamant to thank me. Even when I helped her, saved her. And now, she thanking me just for a photo. She must be emotionally connected with it. Whatever, it's none of my business.
R: really Annika. Were you searching for just a photo being mad?
Ragini asked Annika who was carefully keeping the photo inside her bag. Ragini just got a deadly glare in response
Shivaay began to take the class. Annika has returned to her old version. She sits with the same grumpy face which she used to show always.
***********
Shivaay driving back home.
R: the movie was quite good. Right?
Rudy exclaimed who was sitting on the passager seat
S: what good. You told it's a thriller movie. That's the only reason I accompanied you
R: I had to lie. You would not come if known that it's a romantic movie
S: this is too much rudy. I am not gonna believe you anymore
R: bhaiyya!!!
Came a sudden shout. Shivaay gazed at the road and applied break instantly
S: what the hell!! Who parked the car in the middle of the road
R: their car might be broken down
S: let's see
Both got down from the car to check. A gang of few boys have surrounded a girl. Her back hits the car
B1: hey.. Beautiful. Come.. Let's have a pleasurable night
G: you bloody bastard
She shouted and raised her hand to slap him only to be stopped by his grip. She stumbled. Is she drunken?
R: they are misbehaving with her bhaiyya. Let's interrupt
S: hmm
Both stepped towards them. The boys ran saving their life as soon as saw shivru. The girl sat on the ground. She couldn't even stand on her own feet. That much drunken she was.
S: Annika
Shivaay whispered with a frown looking at her
R: you know her?
S: she is my student
R: the same girl who ragged bhavya. Am I right?
S: hmm
R: come let's go bhaiyya. She doesn't deserve our help
He held shivaay's wrist and tried to drag him. But shivaay didn't move a bit. He was just witnessing her state being astonished
S: rudy look at her state. She can't even open her eyes properly
R: so what. Only she is responsible for it. Don't concern about her. As much as I know, she is a bad-tempered girl. So please.. Come let's go. At least she is safe from those boys because of us. That's enough. She doesn't deserve anything more
S: whatever we can't leave her alone rudy. She also has a family who cares for her. Besides, she won't be able to drive ahead. It's not good leaving her alone in this midnight that's too in the middle of the road. We should help her. Come..
R: hmm.. Ok. Accepting my defeat. Your personality won't change. You always care about others but not yourself
S: come rudy
He ordered in a stern voice
S: come on Annika.. get up
Annika raised her heavy eyelids with many difficulties. Her eyes were reddish
A: hlo... Si..r
She tried to get up. But she lost her balance. Shivaay held on to her elbow before falls
S: be careful. Come.. We can drop you at home
A: no. I Ca..n go on my ow..n
S: no Annika. You are high. Let us help you
A: wh..y? Wh..y do you wa..nt to hel..p me? Why do you ca..re for me who always dis..respect you?
R: he is only like that. He always cares for others. No matter what they do with him
Rudy interrupted
A: who ar..e you?
R: his brother
A: sorry to say. you are mistaken. He Is act..ing be..ing good. Everything is his drama
R: bad people can't see the goodness of others
A: who said? I have wit..nessed true huma..nity. Do you know in whom?
(She closed her eyes and continued) lea..ve it all dude. No use.
S: ok. Now please come with us
He tried to pull her with him. But she didn't move
A: do yo..u want to dro..p me?
S: hmm
A: ok then. Make a deal. You should buy me a chocolate tomorro..w if I wanna come wi..th you. Deal or no dea..l?
S: deal.
He said with a chuckle
A: ok. Let's go. But my ca..r?
S: rudy.. You follow us
R: hmm ok. But key?
Annika handed him the key.
A: don't make a scra..tch on it otherwise I will kill you dude
Somehow shivaay managed to balance a stumbling Annika and made her sit in the car
A: shivaay sir. Don't expect thanks for..m me. Beca..use I would not mi..nd if they had even killed me today
S: why?
A: because....
(She just turned to face him with a frown) why should I tell you? Are you my soulmate? Not ri..ght. So don't expect me to open up
S: ok
( he shrugged his shoulder)
Why you drink too much when you will not be able to control yourself?
A: what is today's date?
S: 29 th
A: 29 th April right. That's why.. That's why I drink toooo much
She looked out of the window with a dull face.
There might be a reason. But shivaay didn't dare to ask about it. He didn't think that he has the right to know about her personal matters
S: can you show me the way to your house? Do you remember
He asked while starting the car
A: of course I remember the way. It's my house for god sake. Go strai..ght, turn right, ... She explained the way to him.
He drove as she said and applied break in front of a house
Both came out. Shivaay held her hand and stepped forward. He knocked on the door. Annika banged on the door after his knocking section.
S: heyy.. No. Don't disturb them. They will open
Annika nodded like an obedient child. A woman mid-40s open the door
W: Who are you?
She asked with a frown
S: don't you know her?
He asked pointing at Annika
W: No
Came her instant reply
A: hey lady. What the hell are you doing in my house. Get out rig..ht now
Shivaay's eyes widened in shock. Now things are almost clear to him. Annika might have shown the wrong way in her half-conscious state
W: are you shouting at me coming to my house
Anger was visible on her face
S: Annika. Let's go. It's not your house
A: who said it's not my ho..use. It's my house on..ly...
W: what the hell. Get out of my house right now. You are drunken girl. That's why you are not able to recognise your own house
A: no. I am not wro..ng. It's my house means. It's mi..ne. You move old lady
She pushed the women and rushed inside. shivaay was standing there with wide eyes.
