" I am scared kirti. He is becoming more and more creepy with each passing day." Naira spoke anxiously. Kirti was concerned as well.
"Seriously, like what is his problem. Why is doing all this!!!! I am dead scared too Naira." confessed kirti. Naira looked up at her.
"And he was talking about some surprise yesterday!!! Kirti I don't know what's going in his head!!!! I hope i don't land in trouble because of him." Naira said. Kirti nodded.
"I think you should tell everything to your family."
"No Kirti.....Mr. Varma has done so much for my family. He even saved my brother from a prison sentence. I can't risk my family's safety." Naira argued ruefully. Kirti looked at her for a second.
"Don't you think Naira that since this man has came into your lives, a lot of bad things are happening with your family??? And he just comes to save you all at the right moment. I smell something fishy." Kirti said softly. Naira gasped loudly.
"Maybe you are right but I can't blame him just like that. I mean he has helped my family a lot and he even brought me back to my home, not many kidnappers do that." Naira told her hesitantly.
"Naira believe me, this man is upto something dangerous. I don't like him at all." Kirti warned her. Naira looked up at her aghast.

During the recess, Naira and Kirti were walking to the canteen to have lunch. However in the college premises, they met somebody quite familiar. Naira immediately seized Kirti's hand and stood frozen on her spot. Kirti, at first understood nothing.
"Naira are you ok???" asked kirti worried. Naira's eyes were wide like saucers as she saw him standing right across her.
"It's him...." she whispered fearfully. Kirti gasped and looked in the front. What she saw was a handsome man with thick black hairs, razor sharp jawline, high cheekbones and dressed up in a modest three piece suit. Kirti believed that the man was somewhere in his mid 30s yet he looked pretty handsome and charming. But she wouldn't get swayed by his looks after all he's threatening her best friend for days now. He had a broad smile plastered on his face as he made his way to them.
"Good morning Naira and I believe you are her best friend.....kirti is your name if I am not mistaken!!!" he said sweetly, his hands stuffed in his pockets. Kirti was shocked, how does he know about her??? Maybe Naira told him.
"Good....morning..." Naira stuttered. Narasimha chuckled.
"How's the day going?? I hope the teachers aren't boring the crap out of you." he asked politely. From around, the students were passing surprised glances at their direction. This was sure, Naira was about to become famous all thanks to this man.
"I am enjoying my time here..." Naira kept her reply short. Kirti wanted to yell at him to leave but he didn't look like he would entertain that kind of behaviour from her.
"Well that's great, I have came to pick you up. Nilima is occupied in some urgent work given to her by her boss. By the time you can 100% corroborate this by asking your parents, in case you don't believe what I am saying." Narasimha told her. Naira gasped loudly.
"What!!!! No.....Nilima didi would never allow that....let me call her." Naira stuttered as she quickly dialled her sister's number. After a ring or two, Nilima answered.
"Yes Naira quick.... I am busy..." she already sounded in a hurry on the phone.
"Didi did you ask Mr. Varma to pick me up???" she queried. Narasimha looked pretty chilled out.
"You know I would never say that....i asked dad to do that but he was more busy than me. Therefore we resorted to asking Narasimha for help..... i hate that man but I got no choice. Just keep your phone on ok and send your live location to me while you're with him. If he acts like a creep just call me, I will murder him. Now I have to go, take care. Bye." Nilima said and hung up. Naira looked up at him nervously, he had a smirk on his lips.
"Told you!!" he smiled overconfidently. Naira looked at kirti and then at him.
"But I still have classes left." she told him.
"Oh dear I know!!! But I won't be available when your college gets over as I have some work to do. Therefore you have to come with me now." he told her cunningly.
"I can ask my father to drop her." Kirti pitched in. Narasimha controlled the urge to punch her. I mean you aren't supposed to hit a woman no matter how powerful you are.
"No Kirti, her family has asked me to do that. C'mon Naira hurry up." he said to her seriously. Naira looked up at him nervously.
