Out of the Blue

22| Misunderstood him

Aanya's POV

Is this sent by Vineet?

Nah! What am I even thinking? That pigface doesn't even look at me and he would do all this? For me? Haha! Jokes.

I was looking around in order to find who kept it here when all of sudden, Aarav, Vineet's basketball team member from our school standing near the class door with flowers in his hands. My eyes went wide as to why he's here. He signaled me to come out and I sighed before going out. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him as soon as I went near him. "Oh come on! Is that a way to greet your friend from school?" He said irritating me. "We were never friends. Let me remind you, you were behind me like a dog back in our school days. Just tell me why the hell are you here?" I never really liked his presence. Not in school and not here.

"I just came to meet some of my friends here. You know, Vineet and other guys took admission here." He said explaining why he's here. "Oh! Okay! Good luck finding them then." I said and turned around to go back in the class. "I've taken admission here too." He said and I turned towards him. I don't really know why, but there was this strange aurat around him that made me want to stay away from him as much as possible.

"Okay! Good for you." I said and walked away. I doubt Vineet even has friendship with him. He also told me that he heard rumours about me. Well rumours travel around fast so I just nodded and left from there. I sighed. I'm gonna get expelled today.

Soon, I was called to the director's office. I reached the office and took a deep breath before going in the office. "Ms. Verma! please come in. So did you get proof of your innocence?" He asked me directly and I could not lift my eyes. Just as I was about to say no, a student barged in the office and asked everyone of us to come with him. 

Being puzzled, we followed him to the theatre room of the college. And soon a video started playing and I gasped loudly. It was the video of my conversation with those boys. I got happy tears. My dream career won't be crushed now. The boys were exposed and they were called in front and proven guilty of their act. The director and the dean apologized to me for their harsh behavior towards me and my expulsion letter, that our dean prepared beforehand, was torn.

Soon. the people that gathered in theatre room started going back to their works. Those boys were expelled and Ahana came to me. Though I didn't want to talk to her because of her bitchy behavior but I still stayed there and listened to her as she spoke to me.

"Congratulations to you. If it was not for Aarav, you would've been expelled today." She said and I turned towards her. "Wait what?" I asked. "Yes it was him who did all this for you. Why else do you think he came to the college today." She said and it felt unbelievable for a moment but if he really did this for me then I should go and thank him.

I looked for him here and there and finally found him near the backstage talking to Vineet. I quickly went towards him. "Hey Aarav! Thank you so much for doing this for me. You have no idea how big of a thing you've done today. I'm extremely grateful for you. Thank you so much." I said holding his hand while he looked perplexed for a moment but then smiled. "No biggie." He said. "No I really want to thank you." I said still looking at him. 

We were talking and headed towards cafeteria as it was almost break time. I thought I would buy him lunch to thank him so we found a table and sat there and I went to buy lunch for both of us. 

Vineet's POV

She came, she smiled, she thanked, but not me. She thinks it's all done by him? That Aarav? I don't know why she thinks that but it really broke my heart to see her holding his hands and smiling at him while thanking him for something that's done by me. I wanted to tell her that it was me who worked hard to prove her innocent and save her only dream. But I couldn't. 

She considers me as her enemy. She definitely won't believe me even if I do tell her it was me. It's ok as she's happy and I don't to ruin her happiness. I smiled when I saw her finally smiling after two days full of stress. It was hard for her to take in everything and now that she's finally happy about something, even if it's not me, I don't want her frowning face back. Let her smile her heart out.

I sighed and moved towards the basketball court. Though it was break time and I was supposed to have lunch, I really am not in the mood to eat anything. Nothing will go down my throat as the pain in my heart is not easy to handle at this moment. I just wanted to sweat myself as much as I could to forget this pain and be happy in her happiness. She's my only love and I only want to see her happy, with or without me. 

Aanya's POV

I was on my way back to the table where Aarav was waiting for me after picking up our lunch when I saw Ahana staring and signing something to someone with her eyes. The direction looked like she was looking at our table but I shrugged it off. I was happy and I didn't want it to get ruined. 

I went back to our table but Aarav was not there. Something in me told me that he went to meet Ahana. I didn't think twice and went in the direction where I saw Ahana and saw them talking. I was about to go to them when I heard Ahana speaking.

"Now she thinks it was you who collected proofs to prove her innocent." She said. "Ouh! So this is the whole matter. By the way, who's the actual person who did this all for her?" He asked her. So it was not Aarav who saved my career. Ahana cleverly manipulated me into thinking that it was done by him. Damn this girl is really crazy. But why would she do this? Well, it's Ahana, I don't think she needs a reason to pull these things against me. 

But even I wanted to know who is the person that actually helped me. "It was Vineet." She said making me gasp but I quickly put my hand on my mouth to muffle my voice. I wanted to hear more. I could not believe he would do such thing for me. 

Wasn't I the girl that got onto his nerves everytime? Wasn't I the girl he couldn't look at without feeling immense anger because I always irritated him? Still, he did all that for me, to save my career. All of sudden, I remembered the way he hugged me yesterday. I didn't notice it but he was extra careful around me yesterday.

Hey all!
Here's the next chapter. Also I am thinking of posting parts more frequently in order to finish this book as soon as possible coz ab mujhe bhi ye book ko khatam karna hai 😭.

‼️IMPORTANT ‼️

Also, most of you might have heard about the kolkata rape case. Not only that there's been a rape case very recently in uttarakhand and many more that might have not been registered. I appeal to y'all to post about this and talk about this on social media platforms, because social media is a very big weapon and India is definitely not safe for women. Every single women here fears the same thing and fights the same society that denies any kind of development in thoughts and action. Even today, after 78 years of independence, some idiotic people like Mamta banerjee blame the girl for being raped. Please talk about this post about this on social media and help eradicate this dirt from our society. Or else that day won't be far when women will start to leave india for their safety.

Anyways,
Please vote and comment for the next chapter. Till then, stay safe, stay alert.

Yours Nyraa.
