Aanya's POV
We came back to our hotel room. I took Shikha with me. We talked and played and finally she fell asleep. I pulled out my laptop and decided to get some work done.
I was going through the files of previous human trafficking cases in our city in hope of finding any clue regarding who this person can be who's doing all this.
Tomorrow, we would go back to our city. I'm gonna take Shikha with me. Maybe then, Kavya might say something. I was engrossed in my work when a notification popped on my phone.
"6 years ago, today"
It was Google photos. I opened it and there they were, mine and Vineet's photos. The time when we were in love.
Flashback
"Why are you here? This is girl's washroom you idiot! Get out!" I shouted at Vineet, who was standing in front of me in a girls WC holding a cover containing God knows what.
"Just 5 minutes, please. I'll go then." He pleaded. What does he want now? After pushing me from stairs, now he has an explanation for his actions.
"Say." I said dusting my dress. "Umm.. lift your skirt." He said and my head spinned towards him so fast. "Wtf!" I nearly yelled. "I mean I'm here to put this medicine on your leg." He said showing me the cover.
"Oh, thank you but I can do that myself." I said taking the cover from him and pulling the tube he brought. "Do you think this justifies your action?" I asked him while slowly applying the cream on the bruise.
"What do you mean?" He asked. "Don't act innocent. I know it was you who pushed me." I said in a calm tone. "Why would you think like that? I-" I cut him. "Oh come on! No other person in this whole damn college hates me more than you." I said stating the fact.
"Who said I hate you?" He said after a pause. "What do you mean?" I asked being confused.
"Trust me you've never seen my hatred. If I'd hate you, I'd never run like an idiot to a medical store leaving my class just to get you a fucking medicine so that you don't get infected. If I'd hate you, I'd not follow you till your home just to make sure you've reached safely. If I'd hate you, I would never keep this fucking scrunchie of yours in my pocket because it smells like your hair. If I'd hate you, I'd never go find that guy who pushed you down the stairs and make him bleed till he passed out." He said making me freeze.
What does he mean? Is he saying that he loves me? No he didn't mention it anywhere. Then what does he mean by all this? And he did what?!!!
"You did what?!!" I nearly screamed at him. Ain't no way he did that to a guy. "Nothing much." He said shrugging his shoulders as if beating someone to death is same as eating a chocolate.
"Vineet Singhal!" I looked at him skeptically. "Fine! He's in hospital getting treated." He said. This guy! "You are mad." I said going out of the washroom.
"YES! I AM MAD! MAD IN YOUR LOVE BUT IT'S INVISIBLE TO YOU!" I stopped in my tracks.
My enemy loves me.
"You...you can't..." I sluttered. "Why can't I?" He asked looking hurt. "I... Don't know" I kept standing there saying nothing at all. Frozen completely.
The guy, who I thought, hated me the most in this world, all of sudden comes up to me and tells me he loves me. Huh? I'm gonna go mad.
"Listen Aanya, I'm not asking you anything. Just don't let any of my words affect you, okay?" He kept looking at me hoping for me to either nod or give him any response but I was too stunned to speak or even comprehend anything.
It was all too much for me.
"Take care, penguin." He said before turning around and leaving. I kept looking in the direction he went until the bell rang indicating that I've to be in my class right now. I took slow steps towards my class and towards my seat.
I was alone today. Ahana had some family emergency due to which she's been skipping classes for past 3 days. The professor came in and started teaching a topic but my mind was filled with the incident that just happened.
His words, his face and his eyes were flashing infront of my eyes like a broken tape recorder. I somehow tried to concentrate on what the professor was teaching but nothing seemed to work. I kept thinking about him.
I don't like him in that way and I'm sure about that. Well, he said he's not asking me for anything. I guess I'm thinking a little too much. I sighed.
Soon enough, the day came to an end and I made my way towards the main entrance and see him standing there leaning on his car. Looks like he's waiting for someone but his face looks serious. As if he's thinking about something.
I decide to just ignore him and walk ahead when he, all of sudden, held my hand and pulled me towards him in a jiff. It all happened in such a speed that before I could comprehend anything, I was laid on the car's bonnet with Vineet hovering on top of me.
My cheeks felt weird and I don't know what that feeling actually is. "Listen here penguin, I know this is all too much for your pea-size brain to intake. But please for god's sake don't ignore me ok. I can't bear that." I kept looking at him.
He looked different. For some reason, I'm missing that Vineet who used to annoy my, irritate me, and push my buttons. This Vineet is too cute and loving.
"I... I'm not..I'm not ignoring you." I said with great difficulty. Why am I sluttering so much. "Good. Now come sit in the car. I'll drop you home." He said and I opened my mouth to say something. "Close it. I'm not hearing a no from you so better just shut up and sit inside or I think my biceps are more than enough to pick you up." He said, smirking at the last part.
"No thanks." I gave him a tight-lipped smile and sat inside. He came and sat beside me on the driver's seat. "Listen penguin, I know this was all too sudden, but if you are uncomfortable then I won't talk about my feelings again. I'll keep them to myself. Just don't hesitate or slutter infront of me." He said looking ahead as he was driving.
I looked at him. This idiot is a gentleman. "Ofcourse I am. You said this that night too." He said and I looked at him in confusion. "Said what?" I asked with my brows scrunched. "That I'm a gentleman man." He replied looking ahead. "Which night?" I again asked.
"You don't remember? The night you gave your V-card to me." He said and my eyes went wide. "WTF?!!!!" I yelled not believing what shit he just blabbered. "That was you? It was your house?" I asked. "Yep penguin." He answered like it was nothing.
I'm beyond shocked. Too much for a single day.
