15| A Mysterious Presence

Roohi

"What are you doing?"

"I'm not letting you go now, you get it!" I said Fretfully.

This guy has tested every level of my patience. I haven't in my life run around a man like I did today. I cannot tolerate him anymore.

He looked at me intensely and stepped closer as his grey blazer fondled with my dress. Resting his palm on the door just above my head, he asked in a husky tone

"Do you really think that you can run behind me in the college irritating the shit out of me and I won't do anything about it?"

I opened my mouth to reply to him but his intense eye lock and closeness were making me anxious again. I don't understand this feeling when he's far from me, I want him to be close to me but when he is close to me, I get anxious wanting to get out of this situation.

"I just wanted to talk to you, Sir."

"Listen! I get you girls swoon over me and all and I don't have a problem with that. But your little crush on me shouldn't exceed its limit."

"Crush?" I inquired raising my eyebrow.

Although I do have a crush on him but he shouldn't say this aloud and he's not supposed to know about it. Having crush on him was definitely not the reason for me to roam behind him at every corner of the college.

"I am not going to spare you today, Roohi! You're going to get punished so roughly that you'll dread me and think again before doing such childish things."

The Audacity! Dude.

"Punish me for all I care! But having a crush on you will definitely be the last reason for me to talk to you."

He raised a eyebrow, growing startled with my response.

"What do you mean?"

I rolled my eyes at him while displaying the picture of us hugging each other on the phone.

"Who took this?!" He asked scornfully.

"Arshita"

"Who's she?"

"She's my classmate. A girl with golden highlights and a dusky skin tone. C'mon you ought to remember her, she usually sits at the first bench in your class."

"Oh yeah! That stupid girl who keeps gawking at me."

"Just like you." I whispered enough for him to actually hear.

"What?"

"Nothing! She's blackmailing me with this photo. That's why I was running behind you today like an idiot."

"How did she get that?"

"She is the one who locked me in the lab."

Nishaan's expression changed to a fuming one.

"You don't have any class now right?"

"Nope."

"Cool. I'm gonna take an extra class. Someone needs to be taught a lesson."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'm going to ask her to delete it."

"Huh! And you think she would do that?Do you think it's that easy? We need to make a plan for it. Somehow take her phone, find her password and then delete the picture."

"Oh! Its not some romantic movie going on here where someone is conspiring against us and we will fall for each other in the process. Come out of your Bollywood dream and think logically."
