Hated- Really?? (Book 2)

Part 15

"We will need his contact number as well."

Shanaya was in her HOD' department, requesting for her leave from both University and hostel. Getting leave from University was easier but from the hostel, quite difficult. Since everyone residing in the hostel were the University management's responsibility, they were quite strict with the rules.

Before entering the HOD office, Shanaya had her call with Rudra to discuss the next step. At one hand he was quite sure that with Shanaya's perfect image, it would be easier to get the leave. Apart from that they were making use of the opportunity that the whole incident had provided them.

"Don't worry dear. Just tell them that you need a break and a change from all the things that has happened. And just by chance, your relatives are conducting some ceremony for their house and have invited you. That's all."

"What if they ask for the contact number?"

"You are worrying too much. That sort of thing won't happen. I have been with them for long enough to know that."

"But still.. "

"Oh god! Provide them my number, if they ask for it. Happy now? You always ask irrelevant things"

Recalling the conversation she had with Rudra, she sighed deeply.

Irrelevant?  Now what Rudra? Had she not ask all those things, she would have  not only been caught but would have been punished as well. Forget about her tarnished image.

"Here" she handed over a piece of paper to her HOD who smiled at her gently.

"I hope you find peace of mind there. Just don't forget that you have exams in a month." She said politely.

If Shanaya didn't know better, she would have thought that the HOD was feeling bad for her. So, she just nodded and left. She didn't feel bad for lying to any of these people. She would do that in blink of an eye. And had done as well, in the past when Rudra was here and she would go to meet him.

It was just a pair of eyes that was haunting her from the moment she had lied to her dad. Most of her happiness and excitement of going on a trip with Rudra had died down.

The fact that she was all clear to go to her trip also didn't uplift her mood.

Maybe on seeing Rudra...

The thought brought a smile to her lips... And all of a sudden, she was feeling happy, excited, nervous, anxious, everything, if at all that was possible.

They will be all alone, no one would disturb them. They would lie in each other's arms, loving each other, without any worries in the world. And, of course, she would sleep a lot. She needed that. A long, peaceful sleep..

She couldn't finalize what she should be taking as a gift for him. But then, she would have to face lots of questions from her roommates since hiding it will be quite difficult. And she couldn't risk anything at present. It would be first time when she wasn't going to gift him anything. But if at all it was possible, she would rather gift her virginity. She felt herself blushing at the thought. If only...

She came back to hostel room and started rummaging through her clothes. She needed to be very careful on what she packs considering what she had told everyone that she was going to her distant relative. She couldn't pack what she wanted but she had to manage with that. One cannot has everything from the wishlist.

"What are you doing Shanaya?"

She jumped at Anya's voice.

"Um, nothing. I was just wondering what should I pack."

"Hm, it's not any occasion right? So just go with your casual clothes or whatever you are comfortable with since I don't know what kind of people they are. I mean whether they are conservative or traditional or modern."

"Actually we don't know anything about them. You never told us about you having any relatives here." Panjel raised an eyebrow at her.

"That is because it was never required so far. In fact, I have also met them just once after coming here. That was just a formal meeting on my mother's demand. This person whom I met, is my maternal uncle, my mother's distant cousin brother."

"Oh! That's great. By the way I forgot to mention that Betty is coming."  Panjel added cheerfully.

"Really??  That's awesome!!" Anya got excited.

None of them noticed Shanaya getting uncomfortable.

Betty was their senior and used to live with these fantastic four girls. She had a major role in separating these three girls from the fourth one, Nikayna. Apparently she was Betty's neighbor at their native place with not so good terms. And here Betty, being the senior and supposedly good natured girl, did her best to make her life miserable. The worst part was when Nikayna was slapped hard across her face by this so called good natured girl right in front of Shanaya. Not only that, she used to sneak peek at Nikayna's personal diary as well and had also scolded her for writing about her in that. Unfortunately, this event also took place in Shanaya's presence.

Shanaya never liked Betty and always felt negativity and uncomfort whenever she was around even though she rarely had interacted with her. She had also talked to Rudra about those incidences. As always, he had suggested her to keep out of it. Though Shanaya had not liked it at all but at that moment she herself was facing lots of issues from her own roommates.

One thing that Shanaya failed to understand in this case was: Anya and Panjel were so inquisitive, still they failed to look into Betty's mind. How was that possible?  Trusting someone was one thing but being blind...

This was not a good sign. She knew that Betty had this problem of peeping into other's personal stuff, Shanaya moved her travelling tickets from her trolley bag to her hand clutch. Still there were two more days to go before she left for her trip. And she didn't want any more troubles.

Betty was a cheerful girl, an attractive face, smart mouth and a good cook. Since she had moved to other department for her masters, she had decided to leave the hostel and living in on rent with her long term boyfriend Sean. Their relationship was considered to be ideal by many people, including Shanaya's current roommates of course. But if Shanaya had to comment, she didn't like her boyfriend as well, though she had never conversed with him personally. She had no particular reason for her dislike him. On the other hand the rest three; Anya, Panjel and Paige; had formed a special relationship with the duo. They looked upon Sean as their brother and Betty as their sister in law. And the sweetness of this relationship was too sweet for Shanaya to digest. She often wondered if these three girls were for real. They hardly saw anything bad in anyone.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and prayed to make Betty disappear for a couple of days, or make her boyfriend quite horny so that he wouldn't let her go, or she could get a call about a surprise test, or....

Wait!! How would she get a call for a surprise test or else it would not be a surprise anymore.

Whatever... Her point was to pray so hard that get Betty disappeared.

Right then , there was a knock at the door.
