Love at Last Sight (18+)

Chapter - 48

Sanjana's POV:

(Saturday)

I was terrified to say the least. The reason being the message.

As soon as I woke up my phone pinged and I saw a message from some private number.

As I opened it, it read "Come to the caramel Coffee shop darling. Be quick". And as soon as I read it, the message disappeared. It actually disappeared from my own mobile phone.

I was terrified about the motive that this back mailing monster had, because the technology that he seemed to use, Akshath being drugged, the video and him black mailing me into becoming his slave is not just a mere coincidence.

It looks like a well planned series of events. Events in which I got tangled myself into.

As I searched the location of the said coffee shop it was 1 and half hour away which is almost in a different town. I don't even know what this monster was trying to do. There are number of coffee shops nearby but he asked my presence only there which I thought was odd.

I immediately called Kunal as we exchanged our numbers the other day in the cafeteria.

"Hey Sanjana, you called me? Wow!!", he exclaimed. "Umm yes, are you free today?", I asked him hoping he would say yes, if not I have to go there alone.

"Yeah, I am free, any plans?", his high pitched voice reached my ears. He seemed excited?

"Yeah, I was wondering if you would join me for a coffee. I actually know a good coffee shop which is an hour and half away from here. Is that okay with you?", I nervously asked.

"Absolutely, I wouldn't pass on a good coffee you know. So when do we leave?", he asked and I checked the time. It's 9:00 am.

"We will leave in 30 minutes if that's alright with you?", I replied and he agreed.

I got ready within no time and my friends looked at me in question.

"I know we are going for a movie but isn't it a bit early to get ready so soon?", exclaimed Piggy.

"Umm, I am actually passing out on that. I am going to mine and Aksh's secrete place. I just want to be alone and video call him. Please don't be angry at me", I some how convinced them with my lie and they seemed to sympathize with my situation and let me be.

I met Kunal downstairs and soon we booked a cab heading out to the specific coffee shop.

I am annoyed, don't take me wrong. I am actually grateful for Kunal's company but he was talking non-stop. May be he was excited that he finally has friends and is going out with a friend which is me.

I responded to kunal every now and then and stayed quite. He is a contrast to Aksh. Aksh doesn't speak much, he is silent and brooding, speaks only when spoken to or if it's absolutely necessary. So I became the talkative one around him and he listens to all my rants. I miss him!!

I snapped out of my thoughts and soon we reached the coffee shop. I was anxious and nervous. My stomach kept twisting in a wierd way anticipating the danger. I didn't know what his request would be!!

I didn't even know why he asked to come to this specific coffee shop.

Me and Kunal settled in a farthest booth and gave our orders. Our orders came within no time and we both started having our coffee.

Suddenly Kunal's fingers was on my lips wiping away the coffee forth.
I immediately backed away from the touch not liking the way he just went ahead without prior warning.
