One Week Girlfriend...

Chapter 9

*Rashmi Pov*

After paying for the taxi, I walked towards the house where Mehrin stays hoping that she didn't go to her Aunt's or grandparents' houses which are just beside her house, but I don't want to act polite right now when I am this angry.

"Please be here." I chanted ringing the bell and sighed in relief when she opened the door.

"Rashmi? Why are you here?" she asked in a shocked tone.

"Is that what you ask your friend when she visits you?" I saw her Mom approaching us and I immediately smiled at her.

"Aunty!" I greeted her smiling and she smiled back.

"I reacted like that because she is supposed to be nearly five hundred kilometers away from us, but she is standing right before me." She explained to her Mom before staring at me.

"Take your friend to your room. I will go to the function by myself." Aunty offered and I know I should say it's fine, I will meet her later but I couldn't get those words out.

"Sorry!" I mumbled, looking down.

"Anyway, I was dragging her to that place and would have to hear her whining. It is good that you both will stay here." Saying that Aunty waved off my apology before leaving.

"Let's go!" we both walked to her room and she finally started throwing her questions.

"Is everything fine? Why are you here?" she asked, frowning and immediately gasped.

"Don't tell me you rushed from your home after knowing about Karthik." She said looking at me and sighed when I looked down.

"Why? After all these years and that too after so many things that already happened in your life, you are still this concerned?" she asked sitting beside me.

"I can't act like I am not concerned." I replied shaking my head.

"That is not important. Do you know what actually happened with me since yesterday?" I asked before explaining her everything.

She listenedd calmly, not saying a single word and finally patted my back smiling. Why is she smiling when I just explained to her everything?

"You finally lashed at him? This is an epic moment." She said still smiling.

"Why are you concentrating on that? Didn't you hear the blackmail I am facing right now and that too from my friends?" I asked to which she shook her head.

"You are only using the word friends. Then what blackmail? What trip? And why do you need to go?" she pointed out.

I stared at her for a few seconds before finally smiling along with her. Exactly! Why was I feeling that scared of all this? They will definitely not go along with all this.

"You are right! Why did I get trapped in their scheme? I even talked about it with Karthik. I should have called you immediately about all this before doing that." I mumbled slapping my forehead.

"You are the one who cut the call and even switched off your phone." She pointed out, making me remember her earlier words in the car.

"That's because it was on speaker mode and they all were present listening our conversation. And you started talking about Aryan right then." I explained.

"Oh! But why are they taking this much effort for one person. I don't understand why you all pamper him this much." She said shaking her head.

"But what happened to him is very bad." I mumbled sighing.
