The Imperfect Couple (Complete)

Chapter 15

"STRIP" was the only word that resounded in her mind repeatedly. Her breath rose high and seemed to have stuck there. Really...? Strip...?

"No. Never" she shouted out more to her frightened self.

Trying to control her trembling frame, each part of which told her that she had made a terrible mistake by trusting them, she glared at all those bitches. Yes bitches, now guaranteed.

"I can't do that. How can you just ask me to do such a thing?" she refused standing up, feigning as much valor as she could but the shaking of her frightened legs defied her openly.

Natasha, sorry, bitch1, got up moving closer to her and spoke with a malicious calm, "I told you before, dear. No backing out."

                                                                ***************************

Aditya was moving away from the seashore, somewhat satisfied with his previous one hour. Finally, he could be his own self, at least for an hour, successfully. Yes, he was successful with little flaws, though. He once had wanted to feel 'her' face instead of the one who had come too close to him. But then this one mistake was acceptable seeing the way he had been 24/7 obsessed with her lately. So in that case, the progress was yet satisfactory. He may have felt little... hmm... little hollow... little empty...  even in the company he had always cherished in worst of his moods, but he still felt satisfied with himself now.  As he went on feeling elated for not thinking of her, what he missed out was by that very thought; he was thinking of her...

'No. Never' He heard a faint sound from one far corner of the beach. It was her, he knew, with no doubts. But then it can again be a figment of his imagination, thanks to his ever hallucinating mind. He couldn't now trust his own self. Dismissing the topic and refusing to give in this time, he resumed his walk back.

                                                                ************************

"Either you follow our command sweetheart or we have other ways out. We can make one's life hell, you may know that, don't you?" bitch1 threatened viciously.

"What will you do?" Charu challenged her, not believing her threats. Of course, they wanted to have fun at her sorry state. But what else could they do? They were already teasing her each time they found her.

Bitch1 smirked. "What can we do?" she repeated, raising her brows as if she couldn't believe she didn't know. "Hmmm... let me give an example. We'll spread in the whole college that you are sleeping around with Aditya. Then let me see how you preserve your 'I am so innocent' image."

Charu for once went numb at the mention of his name and that too in such an embarrassing context. But then again, think of it, that wasn't a complete lie. With utmost mortification, she realized that she had been spending her nights with him. Not to mention, only if he returned home! That spoilt brat! Charu focus! Oh yes, then she had even slept with him once, in the same bed! The memory itself made her shudder in disgust.

She even considered asking them how they knew about it but then stopped. They were just making up things. Yes, that was it. And then it clicked... They had once seen her coming out of his car in the morning...

"But I don't – " she started but was cut in by bitch2, "What you do and you don't, we are least bothered about that. Now you better hurry we don't have the whole day."      

"And if you ask for my advice, Charu, I would say that you choose the first option. No one would see you here, but that news will defame you in the whole college,"bitch3 advised politely.

Charu looked at her as she spoke. If once Aditya and her name would be attachedtogether in college, the truth may eventually come out. She looked around to find no sign of living being other than those bitches. Maybe no one would see her. But then she how can become naked in front of them too! She might remove some of her clothes and then... God, what was she thinking...?
