BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED WIFE ①

36. The Unintentional Act

Shehnaaz and Jasmine were immersed in their last - minute revisions when they heard a voice calling out their names from behind. It was their friend, Asim.

"Hey shehnaaz , Hey jasmine , What's up, fellas?All set? You guys seem to be well prepared for the test," Asim remarked with a chuckle.

Shehnaaz smiled at Asim and replied to him, "Ah dude, there is nothing as such. In fact, we haven't prepared well enough to be confident enough that we would pass with flying colours on this test! We would be grateful to God if we could even clear the test with a decent CGPA"

Asim glanced at her with eyes full of
love.

"I know what you mean when you say that you haven't prepared well for the tests. You will still get better grades than both of us even when you give the tests without preparing well. Try all these tricks on somebody else who does not know you. You can not make a fool out of us. Am I right Jasmine?" Asim spoke sarcastically.

Jasmine rolled her eyes, made a face, and glanced at Shehnaaz . "Oh yeah, of course. You are right, Asim. She has a special talent for reading and memonsing things. And she keeps on pretending that she is not prepared enough. When the results were declared, she would have scored the highest grades " Jasmine complained.

"It has been rightly said that one does not feel sad when a friend flunks a test, but it hurts more when the same friend gets good grades. Shehnaaz has come into our lives just to cause us pain, "exclaimed Asim .

As soon as Asim quoted this, all three of them burst into laughter. Their laughter was so loud that it succeeded in grabbing the attention of the students around them.

Amidst their laughter, Asim glanced at Shehnaaz and asked her a question: "What have you been reading, Shehnaaz ? Let me see. I am curious to know what you study so that you score such good grades. "

Asim leaned a little forward and grabbed the corner of her notebook to snatch it away. Shehnaaz had kept the notebook closer to her face and was reading from it. In the process of snatching and pulling the notebook, his hand happened to touch her chest, and as.. this happened, Asim experienced a sensation within him. Shehnaaz was startled by his sudden action and stepped a little back. She glared at Asim . Shehnaaz felt awkward about his sudden gesture.

Asim , on the other hand, felt quite enthralled as he touched her. Sensing the awkwardness and irritation on Shehnaaz's face, Asim apologised to her, "I am genuinely sorry, Shehnaaz. It wasn't intentional. I just wanted to have a glance at your notes.

"You could have asked me for the notes if you really wanted to see them. Is this the way to take notes? And how dare you touch me inappropriately? Shehnaaz spoke loudly.

She was loud enough to be heard by the students who were in the corridor. All eyes were focused on Shehnaaz , Jasmine , and Asim.

Jasmine glanced all around her and realised that Asim and Shehnaaz's argument might create a scene in front of the students. Shehnaaz's face had turned red in anger, and it appeared as if she would give Asim a tight slap on the face.

In an immediate response, jasmine held her hand and attempted to comfort her "Leave it, Shehnaaz . We could talk about this later. We have to give our test in a few minutes. Calm yourself down and Asim , please behave yourself. If you want a girl to be friends with you, then you should learn how to behave with.. them too," Jasmine stated sternly.

Having said that, shehnaaz and jasmine walked away from there. Asim stood still and watched them walk away from him

He was infuriated at himself. He culd not even understand what happened at that moment. He didn't know why he behaved that way. Anyway, it was unintentionally done. He glanced at his hands and then looked at Shehnaaz , who was moving away from him in the corridor. Numerous thoughts tended to reverberate in his mind, but he could not make out what exactly was running within him.

Shehnaaz and jasmine were walking down the long and beautiful corridor. Shehnaaz was still angry at Asim for what he had done.

She stole a glance at jasmine and asser ted, "See... this is the reason why I don't like to be friends with boys. Once you get friendly with them, they attempt to take advantage of the liberty provided. I don't understand why they have this one-track mind and cannot think of anything else."

Jasmine propelled a smile at Shehnaaz and replied to her, "There is nothing like that, Shehnaaz. And you don't need to exaggerate the matter much. It would not be appropriate to make a fuss out of such a small topic. His only intention was to see the notes that you were reading. In an attempt to snatch it away, in the process of pulling and snatching, his hand touched your boobs. This isn't something that you should be exaggerating or making a scene about." Jasmine chuckled as she reasoned.

Shehnaaz was annoyed at Jasmine for confronting her.

"It may not be a big deal for you, and that's because you have been to a high-end school, unlike me. In Minnesota, our community school was different, and this is certainly a big deal for me. And whatever might be the reason, I don't like it when a boy touches me. And this guy, Asim , has started taking advantage of the friendship that he had proposed to me earlier. I think a much-needed lesson is required to be taught to him," Shehnaaz responded coldly

As soon as Jasmine realised that she had reached her hall, she slowed down her movement and said, "It's okay, babe. You have the option of teaching a lesson to anyone you want, But I think right now you should give the test first and then we can decide what to do furt her. Until then, hold your horses and calm yourself down. We have to give. the test, and if you think about these matters while writing the paper, then my dear, I'm afraid what would happen. "

Her words positively affected Shehnaaz . She smiled at Jasmine and replied, "I am fine. There's nothing to worry about. But it was upsetting to me what Asim did, no matter if it was unintentional. I was disappointed with what had just happened and nothing else. It's almost time for the tests to begin. I am going to my room, and you should go to yours. All the best, babe. And don't just attempt three questions like you did the last time. Do you understand?" And with this, Shehnaaz broke into a weak laugh.

Jasmine smiled at shehnaaz and made her way into her class. Shehnaaz moved towards her class. While she was on her way, she wondered if she would manage to get good grades and pass the last test in law. She was aware of the syllabus and had prepared as well, but shehnaaz felt anxious. Suddenly, her thoughts drifted to the Irony of life and the test that life had put her through.

How would she manage to pass over the hurdles that keep entering her life and then pass out with flying colors? Shehnaaz had her tests beginning in a few minutes, but her mind was suddenly occupied with thoughts and questions about her current life and what she was going through.

Lost in her thoughts, will shehnaaz manage to put her mind to the test and jump this final hurdle to become a law graduate?
