My Innocent Love (Book 1 In Novice Love Series)

Bonus Chapter 4- Her Humiliation, His Struggle!

There are so many circumstances that we encounter in our lives, where we had wished to do so much for those with whom we feel.a special bond; but then what holds us back? This society or our own fears? But what if we finally give in to those internal desires of our heart which will ease someone's pain; won't it give us extreme satisfaction?

Aayush felt the same everyday when he saw Raisha walking in the school in the morning with that unsaid pain in her eyes. He has been seeing her for two years and a half now, and the irony wasn't lost that she had gone drastically down in her appearance.

She was only skins and bones, while her face which he thought used to glow in the start of sixth grade, was now fully pale. There was no shine in her eyes, while he hardly saw her even smile since the start of their eight grade in which he had so proudly sat with Ekta; her calculative and manipulative cousin whose only aim was to hurt her.

But what has he done for her?

Nothing! He simply stood in a corner and watched her taking all the humiliation silently and then if it wasn't enough, then like a coward he has ignored her without any reason.

While inspite of his cold and distant behavior, she always cared for him like a true friend. He never considered her even a friend, while she always thought him to be the one.

How ironic it was, that he didn't deserved her goodness when he had no guts to even stand for that girl who never replied him rudely, inspite of his all cold remarks.

What right did he have to make her smile for a second, then once again snatch that happiness of having a companion from her?

He was transfixed on his own thoughts only, when he once again saw her previous sections friends, mocking her as they passed by her hurriedly, purposely pushing her so that she will fall down on the ground.

"Why slow speed is early today?" Mocked one of the girls but before Raisha can reply, she walked past her slapping on her forearm rudely.

"Obviously she came early, because even if her class is on first section now, it will take an hour for her to climb even fifteen stairs". Anisha added as the group laughed. Aayush closed his fist in anger while Raisha's​ eyes brimmed with tears as she saw all of them making mockery of her once again.

She wanted to run away and hide herself in her mother's chest, but she suppressed her feelings; because she had vowed to herself to not breakdown infront of her parents.

"I don't get why her parents even send her to school when she can't even walk properly?" Taunted another girl purposely pushing Raisha to Anisha's side. They didn't knew that Aayush was watching it all, hiding behind the pillar but the way his dark eyes were shooting daggers at all of them; he wasn't sure when he will blast them all.

He saw her fearful expression as Anisha; her ex best friend patted her bag, so harshly that Raisha stumbled on her steps but before she can touch the ground, Aayush was quick enough to take three long strides towards her, catching her through her belly before she can hurt herself.

His eyes landed on Anisha who gaped at him in shock, because she knew he was the headboy of the junior batch and if he complained to the vice principal then she will be out in no time.

She gulped a lump down her throat as she saw his burning glare, on her as he straightened Raisha on her feet who had her eyes shut tightly.

"Open your eyes!" He ordered and shocked to hear his concerned voice, she snapped her eyes open to see his clenched jaw while he was looking behind her.
