Broken yet beautiful
A girl dressed in yellow kurti and white leggings with a loose air is seen walking towards the college gate. Anyone who sees her will only find her beautiful and calm. But the moment they see her eyes they would have never imagined that it could hold so much power and coldness. It's so dry yet so expressive. Her brown orbs emits only hate which brings a cold shudder down the spine. As we focus more on it the more we will find the hidden pain in it. But who would focus to notice the pain. The moment they experience the coldness they move away deciding to not mess with her.
The whole college is crowded with people roaming in gangs or with their friends. She seems to be the only one who walks alone but with so much authority. No, she's not a professor or principal. She's a student but not the one for anyone to mess or be close with. That's what the whole college thinks about her MS.LADY HITLER ALIAS PRAGYA.
While walking she sees a girl who was walking in front of her fell down getting slipped. She turns to find anyone who could help her to lift her as she has twisted her legs. She's crying in pain and pragya just passed by her without giving a glance to her. The girl though already know this felt bad as somewhere in her heart she expected her to help her. That's when she find someone giving his hands to her to help her up. She gets up and thanks him. She's about to leave but her twisted legs pained a lot. He offered his shoulder for her but she denied. However he find her struggling and took her hands in his and assures her with his eyes. She felt like drowning in his eyes. Those black orbs hold a magic that she felt as if they casted a spell on her. Don't know if it's the situation or its handsome face she felt as if he his her Prince charming. With lots of hesitation she started a conversation while he only focused in helping her walk.
Raima : Hi I'm Raima .. Raima Bose.. Electronics third year.
Guy : Hi I'm .. Abhishek Malhotra Mechanical third year. But I'm new to this college. I've to shift as my father got transferred and there's no one to take care of him other than me.
Rai : oh, what about your mother?
Abhi felt sad the moment he heard about his mother.
Abhi : Woh. Woh. She.. She's no more.
Raima's eyes softened.
Rai : oh. I'm so sorry.
Abhi : It's OK not your fault.
Abhi " to the rest of the world she eloped but for me she's dead"
Abhi : BTW who's that heartless girl who didn't help you when you were crying in pain.
Rai : oh.. She.. Its expected from her. She's Miss. Lady Hitler.
Abhi : what?
Abhi : oh sorry her name is Pragya. But the whole college calls her Lady Hitler. She's that way. She always behaves cold with everyone as if she's some Queen of some country. Will never help anyone nor will speak with politeness.
Abhi : oh.. Have seen boys with attitudes but this is different. Anyways your class is here. Will you be able to mange from here.
Raima nods smiling and he leaves her and walks on His way. She looks dreamily at him. Never for once he looked her face or flirted with her or touched her improper. He handled her like a flower and left like a breeze. Now she understands what is love at first sight. She looks dreamily at him going.
Abhi on his way sees the girl who went away without helping Raima. She enters the class opposite to his. The name board read electrical department third year and its opposite to his. Abhi shook his head and went for his class.
By afternoon he already made a bunch of friends from his class by his nature. He is getting cold drinks for everyone and on his way he hits Pragya by the shoulder by mistake. The drinks spill a bit on her and she gets furious and slaps him hard. Whole college looks at him open mouthed while Abhi gets furious. People over there felt pity on Abhi while Abhi glared pragya.
Abhi : How dare you
Pra : How dare I? How dare you to hit me deliberately?
Abhi : oh excuse me.. What did you think of yourself? Ms. Universe? I don't have any interest to hit on you by all means. Forget hitting even having a glance at such inhuman people is a sin. So don't think that the whole world revolves around you. I can lodge complaint against you for violence but I'm a human and that's the reason I'm letting it go. Don't ever show your face to me. What everyone says is true. You are a lady Hitler.
Saying so he storms while Pragya fumes as this is the first time someone dared to answer her back and to the top of it insulting. She walks off furiously. The people present in that place starts whispering about the drama that happened before them. Abhi friends Omi, Neil, Harman and Shivani looked everything with open mouth.
Abhi comes to them with the remaining drinks with a irked mind.
Omi : Abhi, what did you do yaar?
Abhi : Matlab? What do you mean by what did I do? Didn't you see how badly she behaved with me?
Zain : arey yaar, she's like that to everyone but what did you do to her? How can you behave so rude with her? Didn't you know who she is.
Abhi : who? Queen Victoria?
Neil : arey she's Pragya Arora. Shekhar Arora's daughter.
Abhi looked shocked.
Abhi : you mean central minister Shekhar Arora?
Everyone nods a pitiful yes. Abhi sighs defeated..
Abhi"what an awesome start for my first day"
Later in the evening Raima found Abhi coming towards her but he seems to be totally lost in something. She really expected for him to talk with her but he just walked past her as his mind is only occupied by Pragya and what she'll do to him for her insult. Raima felt disappointed but decided to call him herself.
Rai : Hi Abhi
Abhi : hey hi... Oops sorry i forgot your name. You are the one that lady Hitler failed to help right?
Raima's face fell at the thing that he remembers her only because of pragya and even remembers her as Lady hilter but failed to remember her name. Abhi looked weird at her. He swayed his hands in front of her.
Abhi : hello.. Excuse me.. Where are you lost?
Rai : Woh nothing.. I'm Raima.. Raima Bose..
Abhi : oh sorry Raima because of thinking about that Pragya I'm forgetting many things.
Raima face becomes gloomy when he says that he's thinking about pragya who he not even met and forgot her in her thoughts.
Rai (with a tint of Jealousy) : what's there to think about pragya? You have not even met her properly.
Abhi : oh so you don't know anything.
Raima nods confused yet cute.
Abhi : aww you are so cute and innocent that you don't know that today I'm the victim of that lady mogombo's anger.
Raima who was flying with his cute word falls down the moment when he gave a new nickname for pragya.
Rai (hiding her emotions) : btw what happened between you and pragya?
Abhi narrated the afternoon incident.
Raima placed her hand on his arm
Rai : oh no Abhi .. Please be careful. She's very dangerous. Just because her father is central minister she thinks herself to be Jhansi Rani. Please never ever cross paths with her again.
Abhi nodded and gives her a smile. Raima feels her cheeks heating up and bids him bye before he could catch her blushing .
Abhi reached his bike and searched for his keys but couldn't find them. He then realised keeping it below the desk and hits his forehead. He goes back to his class only to find slight sobs. He gets confused and looks around but couldn't find anyone. He ignored it and walks forward but still heard it. He looks carefully only to find a person dressed in yellow sobbing quietly sniffing with her palms closed on her mouth. When Abhi observed carefully it turns out to be none other pragya. Abhi eyes popped out of his socket to see Ms. Lady Mogambo crying. For the first time in the whole day he found her totally vulnerable. Something in him asked him to not move from the place.
He stood there watching her when all of a sudden her mobile started ringing. She picked it up and gasps seeing the caller id. She immediately wipes her tears and answers
Pra : Hello papa.. Yeah I'm fine? What? Someone misbehaved with me? No papa its wrong information. I'm all fine. Please stop sending spies around me. I. Know after what happened it's natural for you to behave this way but I need my privacy too papa. Please understand I'm a grown up girl and you can't baby sit me all the time. I did learnt from past and I won't repeat it again. So please this should be the last time. You have my swear papa. OK I believe you. Yeah I'm just busy in library.. I'll come in few minutes. Bye papa.. Love you.
Pragya cuts the call and starts leaving. Abhi understood that the whole world doesn't see the real Pragya. Something made her turn like this else she wouldn't have saved him from her papa. All of a sudden he's more curious about her and her past. He decides to find it somehow and leaves with Pragya occupying all his mind.
To be continued...
