NOT THE ONLY ONES

5. GOD MY GUN HAD NO BULLETS!!!

few more days later...

I would start my shooting practice from today. I already knew the basics about it from today I'll start practising like the professionals.

I m so excited!

I always dreamt about using guns. I hadn't realised tht this dream of mine would come true so soon.

I wore glares and was given an aim.

Rob had taught me how to hold the gun, he held my hand and fired just to give a boost, it hit the bull's eye.

Now it was my turn. I had been waiting for this moment my entire life. I was focused on my aim and I knew I would do good and my bullet will be on the dart board.

Everybody was gone, I was left alone, they were supposed to be here with me on my 1st day of shooting practice, I guess they have some work, it's alright, I don't need anyone's help. I'm sure I can hit the target on my own, after all Robert had trained me.

I aimed and was ready to shoot, but a voice said my name in the sweetest way possible. I was distracted and missed the aim. Shoo! Who the hell was that ?

I turned and saw it was Aryan. What on earth does he want from me ?

"You still care for me don't you Mallika? Why did you break up with me? I m everything you need. Let's get back together" he said.

"No, I don't care for you. I just did what a human would do for another. We were never together, it wasn't a break up in technical sense, I was never your girl and I'll never be. Now get lost "

"Don't be like that sweetheart, hmm all right I'll make the move "he said and held my face in his hands.

He was aggressive and not at all loving. He wanted to get into my pants, he had lust not love. Even if what he feels for me is something good, I don't give a shit, this boy could never change.

"Let me go". I pointed the empty gun at his chest.

"It has no bullets, you can't hurt me. Forget it. Come with me easily or else I know how to be forceful " he said.

"I don't need any bullets in the gun to save myself from a monster like you" and I kicked him in his balls.

He withered with pain and fell on the ground. I ran but he caught hold of my leg and pulled me towards him.

"Let me go. Leave me" I beat him on his chest, his shoulders. He knew what he wanted and he was determined to accomplish it; ruin me.

I was pushing him away and he was trying to force himself on me. I was kicking, punching, doing everything I could.

"Help someone please. Jenny, Sara please somebody just help me" I start crying.

"Don't do this Aryan please don't. Let go of me!"

Aryan doesn't respond to my pleas and ignores my feeble attempts for freedom. 

"Help please John, Kevin , John please. Help me -
R-O-B" I scream as loud as I could.

I don't know why but I had closed my eyes. I didn't expect anyone to hear my voice and help me so I just prepared myself for the worse-

Getting raped at the hands of my former friend.

No no no. This cannot happen.

I felt Aryan's hands on my neck sliding down. He was slowly opening the buttons on my shirt. I tried again to pull away but he had me pinned below him.

Please no! Don't let this happen. No no no....

I continue hurting him but he doesn't care. He continues torturing me, physically and mentally as well.

Suddenly, I hear the click of a gun. I open my eyes and see a gun pointed on Aryan's head.

"Get your filthy body off her right now" Rob says.

Aryan was surprised at first but then the surprise on his face eventually turned into fear.

"If you wish to have kids, then don't ever show your fucking face to us ever again, get your ass off. Go you bastard " Rob says with anger and disgust.

Aryan ran away from there but not before shooting me a deadly glare.

"Thh... Thank you Mr. Hale. "

"It's my duty Mallika, from tomorrow onwards we'll make you learn karate too and if you agree, you can call me anything you like" he says 

I smiled at him through my tears and it clicked me that he used my name and not Ms.

"Why did you " before I could speak any further he wiped my tears and said-
"there's a reason why I don't act good to people, why I don't let them close to me. I make them hate me for a reason".

"I don't hate you Robby. Well I don't particularly like you but -

He cut me off midsentence again and said "you're changing everything Mallika. It isn't supposed to be this way".

"You know what at times I just don't understand what you say. So as long as that's the case. I don't agree with you Mr. Rude " and I give him a warm smile through my tears.

He sighs.

Hi guys!

I hate people like Aryan. When a girl says no, it means no. I know boys have this theory that girls say the opposite of what they want but that's not the truth. When a girl says no, she means it.

I am a girl and I love being respected. Who doesn't?

A man can be a man only when he knows how to respect women around him. Without being compassionate and respecting woman, a man can never be really called as a man. His masculinity has no meaning otherwise.
