The ARCANE Princess

The Little Abet

Author's POV:

Harsha was sitting in the college lobby and was working for his last semester project which is very crucial to him and his group.

He left his laptop on the lobby table and went to the canteen to quench his hunger.

Avaya was passing through the corridor when she found an open laptop on the lobby table. She walked to it as she found something interesting in it.

Avaya observed some plans in the autocad and smiled as it's her favourite work to do. She rendered few mistakes and walked away from there.

Harsha walked back to the lobby only to see the empty table.

" Where the heck is my laptop?" Harsha yelled at the students who are passing the corridor.

" Did you see my laptop?" He asked everyone with desperation lacing his voice.

" Si....sir, we don't know. Why don't you go and check the CCTV photage from the admin instead of yelling at us?" Someone whispered from the crowd.

Harsha quickly ran to the admin room and requested to show the CCTV photage.

He have seen that Avaya entered the lobby and did some changes in his laptop. He asked the person to stop the video and angrily marched from there.

" Avaya!" He yelled opening the doors of her class. He dragged her out to the lobby and asked calmly where his laptop was trying to control his ire.

" I don't know Harsha. I...." Avaya tried explaining but he brutally cut her off.

" Shut up. Stop lying. I've seen in the CCTV photage that you are the one who changed the plans in my laptop. I ask you again princess, where is my laptop?" Harsha said lowly trying to control his anger.

" Avaya never lies Harsha. Go and fucking check the further video so that you get to know who have taken your laptop. Don't accuse me before knowing anything." Avaya said tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Understanding as we understand it is a misunderstanding Harsha." She said making him look away.

She walked away from there and all the crowd in the corridor dispersed.

" Harsha, see here! Our project got approved by the faculty and I've already mailed it to the officials. Thank god, I just did it before 5 minutes. And thanks to Avaya. She've rendered the final plan." His friends said holding his laptop.

" You.... You have my laptop?" He asked his friends astonished.

" By the way, your princess know how to render a thing boy!" His friend exclaimed.

" Shit! I messed up." Harsha mumbled.

All he could think was only her tears.

" What happened Harsha?" His friend asked.

" Nothing. Just A Little Abet from her but I misunderstood. " Harsha said and walked away from there.

He waited outside for her and she finally arrived.

" Av....." He tried but before him someone already called her.

"Ava, here." Her brother, Aayod yelled waving his hands.

Avaya walked to her brother who stood along with the driver still in his college uniform.

" Hey!" She greeted her brother.

" Ava, why are your eyes red?" Aayod asked calmly.

" It's no... nothing Aayod." Avaya stuttered.

" Learn to lie Ava." Aayod spatted.

Aayod is an introvert but can turn into a cold blooded monster if someone hurts his sister.

" Who the heck made my sister cry?" Aayod yelled on the top of his lungs making the people jerk who is standing around him.

Everyone stopped walking and looked at him who is heaving like a beast. Harsha closed his eyes in regret.

He was about to come forward but Avaya held her brother's hand and dragged him to the car asking the driver to start it.

They reached home and none of them spoke a word.

" Good evening Mother, Father!" Harsha bowed before his parents but it held no spark like everyday. It was dry.

" Good evening my prince." His father siad looking at his wife.

He retired to his suite and rested but he woke up restless.

He dailed to his brother in law to hear a cheerful voice.

" Someone's mood is off today!" His brother in law mocked.

" Good evening brother in law!" Harsha greeted.

" Cut those greetings bro." Kiaan greeted making Harsha smile.

" So, what's the matter dude?" Kiaan asked kissing his wife Avasya who is 7 months pregnant.

" I hurted my princess today." Harsha said sighing.

Kiaan walked away from his wife as Harsha is talking about his princess which is the secret only between them.

" You hurted her?" Kiaan whisper yelled even though his voice won't reach any corner of the palace.

" Yeah. A misunderstanding." Harsha said and explained everything.

" Her dialogue Avaya never lies always remembers me of someone." Kiaan said and Harsha panicked for a second.

" Never mind bro. Ok bye. Your sister needs me." Kiaan said in a hurry and cut the call.

Harsha sighed and opened his laptop to see the rendered plan which is very perfect. The minute changes in the plan caught him. Those are very accurate.

Avaya was seriously preparing for her upcoming exam munching the cookies in her hand. She long forgot about today's incident.

She was so much immersed in her studies that she slept on her study table.

With Love ♥️
