MADLY IN LOVE

CHAPTER 12

It was getting colder when Nomita left the library late in the evening . The library was situated in an isolated area of the town and Nomita decided to take the route through the old park which remained deserted and abandoned now but  perhaps was a shortcut . She was chilled to the bone when she stepped out in the open . Nomita never believed in any sort of ghosts and spirits so the nightfall and loneliness were never spooky things for her . Suddenly she felt somebody's hands on her shoulder from the back and adrenaline rushed through her veins . Gathering courage she turned back only to find Jayant standing there . She gave a sigh of relief saying ,"Oh my , you  scared the hell out of me !" And Jayant said ,"I'm sorry , I didn't mean to scare you . By the way , what are you doing here alone in this cold weather ." Nomita replied ," I am on my way back to the hostel ", then she felt a strong impulse to run but it was already too late to make a move , Jayant caught her wrist and pulled her towards himself saying teasingly ,"you are so cold , got to get you warmed up " .Nomita tried to push him , but he was far too strong , wrapping her in his arms , pulling her against him . Nomita yelled for help and shouted in a frantic tone , " Let me go !leave me! ", but without any success . His arms around her had merely been annoying , restricting but now with a sense of shock , she felt his hands on her body . Never in her life had Nomita been in a situation like this , far away from help. "what are you doing ? Let go, take your hands off me " she blurted out , but Jayant was stubborn enough to lock her in his embrace saying ,"c'mon Nomita , don't be like that , I just want to warm you up all over " . She tried to move and Jayant stumbled and fell and now his full weight was on Nomita ,crushing her . She found his hand near her mouth and she bit so hard that Jayant jerked it away furiously . Then unexpectedly , through the dimming light of the moon , Nomita saw a distorted glimpse of someone .
