Humesha- An Accidental Love Story

7.A Moment Shared?

Nandini

Space academy is filled with mad people. Sab pagal hai yaha. You know why? Kyuki idhar people are more interested in gossips rather than the truth, they are more interested in staring at girls or drooling over boys than sitting in lectures aur agar koi rag ho raha hai na toh they'll laugh but not help. Aaj exactly vohi hua.

Today as soon as I entered college, I went to the canteen since I was hungry jaha I saw a girl being ragged by some group. When I got closer, I saw it was Manik's group wherein a very tomboyish looking girl was asking a girl to dance on an item number while she was crying and refusing saying she can't do it but the girl wasn't ready to let her go. The girl who was crying looked really simple in her salvar kameez with two plaits neatly done in her oiled hair. Her style wasn't something people would like to come to college with.

"Aww Madhubala ji ko rona aa raha hai? But apko rona nahi hai, apko toh dance karna hai voh bhi item number pe jaise movies me karte hai na voh sexy wala dance. Aap movies toh dekhti hai na Madhubala ji ya fir bhajan hi sunti ho sirf" the guy other than Manik and Dhruv mocked her and laughed in the end while the girl kept crying. The tomboy girl walked a little closer to her and pulled at her duppatta.

"Come on Madhubala, everyone is waiting for the entertainment. Aise sabko disappoint nahi karte right?" But the girl was still sobbing.

Dude really? Can't she speak up for herself?

I looked at Dhruv who sat there silently, reading some book while Manik sat there with his face in his phone but he seemed restless. Sighing in disbelief, I again looked at the crying girl. Not able to see it anymore, I went forward to stop them.

"Stop!" I screamed loud enough for everyone to divert their attention towards me and I did feel awkward with all the attention but anyways.

"Why are you bullying her? Logo ko rulake maza aata hai?" I told the tomboy girl who looked amused at my question.

"Believe me girl, you don't wanna mess with us. Do you know who fab 5 is?" She asked me like she was warning me to back off. All this while I could feel Manik's constant stern gaze on me and that made me nervous for reasons unknown.

"I don't care about who you are, all I care about is that what you are doing is wrong"

"Aur tum hume sikhaogi ki kya sahi hai aur kya galat? Look whose talking" Manik stepped in to mock me and I knew exactly what he meant when he said about me preaching about right and wrongs and it kinda annoyed me.

"Yes I will because what you guys are doing is wrong. The girl here jisko tumlog rula rahe ho na, she won't be at loss in the future but it will be your loss kyuki bullying someone is illegal aur campus me toh CCTV lage hai na so it means ki the authorities can watch everything and that can harm you aur tum (turning to the boy who was bullying the girl) tum yeh jo shoot kar rahe ho na apne phone pe just for entertainment sake that can spoil your life. I am sure you'll make this video viral but do you know there are people who monitor viral activities and ragging is toh already illegal so sochlo agar by chance tum pakde gaye toh kya hoga" I spoke nonchalantly and with the expressions on their face, I knew that my words had affected them somewhere down the line making me smirk.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Manik held me by my arms furiously which took me aback since I wasn't prepared for this.

"Tum hoti kaun ho to preach fab 5 about all of this bullshit ha? No one, I repeat, NO ONE goes against fab 5 aur tum yaha aakar unhe yeh bhashan de rahi ho and you think isse tum Bach jaogi then you are wrong Nan-you tiny lady. Ek baar koi fab 5 ki bad books me aa jaye na toh we make their lives hell and very soon you'll be one among them" he warned, his nails pierced right through my soft skin but I didn't let it show. I didn't want him to think that I was weak.

"And you think I am scared of you? Stop living in your dream world Mister!" I scoffed making him more angry.

"Just wait and watch what I do to you" he warned and left my arms with a jerk. A soft hiss left my lips but I managed to compose myself. My upper arms hurt like hell due to him digging his nails there but i was determined to not give him the pleasure to see that he hurt me or I was in pain.

I wasn't weak and I'll show it to him.

"We shall see that" I gave him a challenging glare and left the canteen with my head held high. My hunger was a long forgotten business now, all thanks to that Monster.

College had finally ended and fortunately there was no 'fab 5' trouble but you never know.

I sighed and started walking through the corridor to leave when I suddenly felt a pull. I closed my eyes in fear and the next moment I found myself in an empty classroom with the one and only monster Manik.

Why me?

"What do you want now? Look if you want to fight with me then hum kal lad lenge. Please spare me" I was really tired so I began to leave the room when Manik pulled me back again but this time the zip of my dress got stuck with the door handle resulting in the opening of my zip. My eyes widened and I immediately stuck myself to the wall while Manik, whose hand was on my bare back stood there stunned...maybe unable to register what just happened.

"Manik get your hand off me, I-I need to um close my uh zip" I spoke nervously.

Why am I nervous?

Instead of taking his hand away as I expected, Manik leaned in more and pulled me away from the wall softly. Next I felt Manik turning me around with his hand still on my bare back. He then got hold of my zipper and slowly started zipping me up, his hand lazily roaming all over my back alongside. My breath quickened at his touch while all I could think of was why wasn't I stopping him.

Why does it feel right to me?

Maybe Manik could feel my raging breaths so as soon he closed my zip, he pulled me to his chest, my back touching his front now and bent to my ear.

"You are beautiful" he whispered huskily and my cheeks tainted a shade of pink at his compliment but the next moment I realised what was happening and I pushed him away.

"Don't touch me without my permission the next time or the consequences won't be good" I said once I calmed my breathing.

"Oh really?" He asked in his monstrous tone, coming close to me again.

"Kya karogi tum? Mujhe bhashan dogi ya fir maarogi mujhe? Or wait...mujhe tumhare strip club me lejakar torcher karogi?" He taunted me again and he looked so amused by it.

Happy reading.
