Chapter 17
Care and Concern

Next morning..

When Forth reached the parking lot he saw Beam...He chuckled because Beam had woken up at 5:45 in the morning but was still prowling around in the parking lot even at this time....

As he walked closer towards him, Forth heard somebody speak from the car that was stopped next to Beam's...

"Is everything alright Beebee...?Why aren't you leaving...?"
Forth heard the saccarine voice that made him sick...
Nathe...
Seriously...This guy really doesn't take a break huh...?
He thought to himself...

"..."

"Looks like the tyre got puntured...Do you want me to help you change...?"

"No...I'm good..."
Beam replied...

"Beam...I'm telling you...I can help..."

"No need...I'll do it in the evening..."
Beam said grabbing his bag that he had kept at the top of the bonnet to examine his car...

"It's OK if you don't want me to help, at least let me drop you at college..."

Forth clenched his arms into fists...
Don't you understand the meaning of "No" jerk...?
He thought to himself...

Forth wanted to dive in and give the man a piece of his mind, but Beam was holding out on his own very well so he stood back...
It was his battle afterall...

"Don't bother...I can manage..."
Beam replied...

"I know you are doing this because you are jealous seeing me with Richa...But Beebee you should know, you are the only one for me..."

Seriously...?
Forth thought rolling his eyes...

"Stop being stubborn Beebee...I am just saying that I can drop you at the college since your car has some trouble...Why are you making such a big deal about it...?"

"..."
Still Beam didn't reply...

"How many times do you want me to beg you Beam...?I asked you to come with me yesterday seeing your futile effort waiting for cab...Honestly I wouldn't have asked you again today after how you rejected me yesterday...But I saw Decha hanging around your car sometime ago and thought he was upto no good...Which was why I came over to check with you...You know what...never mind..."

"..."

"You really hate me that much that you would risk being late to class than go with me...?"
Nathee asked Beam...

"You have changed Beam..."
He continued...
"You used to be so worried that people will pick on you if you were anything less than perfect...Do you no longer care about that...?"
Nathee asked Beam in an accusing tone...

Forth clenched his arms into fists hearing him...
That guy is truely unbelievable...

"Why aren't you replying Beam...?"
Nathee asked Beam...

Forth started his bike and reaching the drive way that was blocked by Nathee's car, he honked over and over...
He looked at Beam to check if he was OK...
On seeing that he was, Forth looked at Nathee...

"WHAT...?"
Nathee asked Forth...

"Either move out or go park your junk somewhere else...You are blocking my way..."
Forth said to Nathee...
