Running Away ✔

Chapter - 8

Dedicated to @VeerNaithani
Do check out his book called 'My Birthday Promise' if you love humor related book's. It's not just a love story between two people, there are multiple people in the book ;)

"Pssst wake up" I felt something poking at the side of my stomach. I tried to shove whatever thing was poking into my stomach but my attempts failed when I felt a feather grazing under the sole of my feet.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK" A hand clamed over my mouth, trying to muffle my scream. Survival instincts kicked in so I bit into the hands of my intruder while trying to kick on the person shin.

"Don't be so violent woman. Geez, you are pretty strong for your size," Rajiv mumbled while rubbing over his palms marked by my canines. Being the nice person I am I inspected his hands while laughing on his face.

"I have left a pretty good mark."

I yelped when I felt Rajiv pulling away the band-aid away from my tattered eyebrow.

"I am not in a mood to fight back with you. You are a very immature person so I will let this one pass thinking that a kid just peed on my bed." I spoke while rubbing my fingers over my glazed skin. I still felt a burning sensation but I think I would look badass and maybe it might become a next 'Fashion thing' who knows.

"Are you done? Honestly I love my precious sleep but the only reason I woke you up because Zara kept calling so I had to wake you up. She might be worried ass for you so I think you shouldn't delay talking to her." Rajiv handed me Bobby's phone.

I was about to call Zara but then I remembered about the call rates so I just waited for her to call me back again. While fiddling through his phone I came across a message from Ankit' without further ado I poked my nose to read his message.

It's not like Ankit would have messaged Bobby just to say hi and ask him how I am right besides he is one of the reasons I am here in this country.

"Nathalia, Where are you? What the hell are you doing in the county? Running away from everything just like that without informing anyone then disappearing off just like that only to end up with three strangers?! AREYOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! CALL ME ASAP WHEN YOU GET THE MESSAGE! If anything happens to you with those guys then please try to come to "AASHIYANA- Dilo ko dhadakne do, Amritsar" There's a house, college and school right next to the NGO. Everyone knows about this place so you can easily come here. Please take care of yourself."

Now when I think about it, I started doubting about my mental state. Why did I just run away to this country in the heat of the moment? What if these three people kidnap me then throw my body inside a vegetable cart and I will keep rotting there. I would most probably die by getting myself eaten from cockroaches, Lizards and ants but that means I could meet fate then have a mug of milkshake with him while I throw banana peels on humans from above. What motive did these three guys have for helping me?

"Wow, first you requested Lee to help you by taking you in with us then you pour out your story in front of bobby which made her agree to help you and now after a collection of so many hours you doubt us? I am sorry to say but yes you do have to get yourself checked. The only reason you came here was to meet your dad whom you last spoke to when you were 5, do you think he really wants to see you? How well do you know Ankit? He is also just a stranger to you after all. Just a few chats with him prove that he is a good person? Either trust a person completely or don't. We have come so far only for you to doubt us? That's wonderful."

I felt embarrassed at Rajiv's outburst. I didn't know what to tell him to make the situation less awkward between us but thankfully Zara called me so I could dodge at Rajiv for a few minutes.
