Aise Kaise Jaane Doon?

Episode #15

 A weird feeling crept within her. "Hey Karan, I'm sorry.. see, let's forget that I asked this question. I just wanted to know. But It's okay. You don't have to tell me. Just don't get pissed."

Karan murmured lightly, "Naina, just move!" Still not looking at her. 

Naina tried to chill the situation and asked in her playful tone, " Well... Mr Karan, what if I don't?"

Karan looked up at her, this time for a few seconds. She felt an odd heat pass through her. He lifted his hand and pushed her shoulder with all his force. Before she could realise what had happened, she had fallen to the ground. She felt a pang of ache all around her body. Everyone on the ground turned to them and gasped at Karan's behaviour. Naina winced in pain. Karan realised what he had done.

He wanted to walk away but couldn't, seeing her state. How could he do that to her?! He couldn't stay either, the rage had gotten to his head.

Some guys stepped forward and pulled Naina up on her feet. 

Sanjana, Merlin and Radhika were getting to the class. Sanjana noticed the sudden silence on the ground and turned her attention. She gasped on noticing Naina fallen on the ground. She tapped her friend's shoulders without turning towards them and muttered, "Naina.." in horror. She hurried towards Naina. Merlin and Radhika realised and followed. 

Sanjana held Naina's arm securely. She sensed Karan was at fault. She spun to the boys who had helped Naina, "What the hell happened, here?"

Karan prepared to leave, clenching his umbrella tightly. 

"EXCUSE ME!" A voice thundered and Karan jerked to stop. He had never heard that voice before. He turned to the voice. 

Eyes filled and red, Naina stood before him, shaking in anger. A shiver pass down his spine. 

"YES. YOU, MR. KARAN SINGH CHAUHAN!" She said and stepped towards him with some difficulty. She pointed her finger at his face, "I don't care who you are OR who you think you are!  I'm not just some random THING..... NOBODY... NOBODY has the right to throw me around like that!" 

She spun around before the teardrop rushed down her cheek. She winced as she tried to step forward. Sanjana held her hands, to support her. Naina let her tears shower. She whimpered, "It's my fault. I... I thought he could be a good friend. He doesn't even know how to treat me like a human. How the hell is he going to be a friend?" She fell onto Sanjana's shoulders, crying. Sanjana held her tight. Radhika rubbed Naina's back, trying to calm her down while staring at Karan in anger. 

Karan had frozen to his spot. He a burning within his chest as he watched her cry on her friend's shoulder. He watched her walk away with her friends. He stayed. The crowd dispersed, yet he stayed. He wanted to run back home. But he felt too guilty to run away. 

 After a moment he moved towards the class, hesitantly.

The last time I updated a chapter of this story was literally a year back. 
A lot has changed over time. My understanding of writing has changed. My love for watching Indian series. Me, I have changed.

I have never been consistent at uploading the chapters but it is sort of endearing to watch some of y'all still interacting with the story. I had lost in touch with this story. I feel pretty lost and drained. And, now I feel like I'm loosing the side of me that writes. That, is not something I want to loose. I don't want to promise but I would like try to keep my writing alive through this story. Unless I find another story that would be more interesting to work on.

This, EPISODE #15, was in my drafts, basically I wrote it last year. It's super short but hear me out, I just didn't want to continue on this page. (🙃yes, I'm super weird like that.) So I'll make sure the next upload is longer, if y'all are still here and would like to read it. 

I know, I say it every damn time. But I really do love y'all for supporting me and the story, by reading, commenting or voting. It truly means a lot!

Love,
Resh❤️
