An AKSHAN Story- His revenge, Her love

Chapter 10

FLASHBACK,

Antara and Guddan were going well with their studies. They both were equally working hard to achieve their parent's dreams, their dreams.

Few months have passed by and many things were changed in their life. On one hand, Guddan has become so reserved and an introvert that she never spoke to anyone except her sister. She was not the same girl who was few months back, the chirpy, cheerful and naughty one who used to spread joy and happiness everywhere. She has caged herself into a prison from where she couldn't illuminate the bright light within her.

On the other hand, Antara was slowly able to accept the truth and was trying to mix with the people around her. She was still the calm one as before but has learned to enjoy and befriend with most of the people. She found true friends and loved them making a part of her life. Even though, there is still an empty place of her parents which could never be filled by anyone else but luckily she had those friends who gave a ray of hope in her life and one of them is Akshat. Being classmates, they used to spend a lot of time with each other and this made them to know each other and get closer. Though Antara has still not accepted him as her friend, he was really trying hard to prove himself that he deserves her friendship.

MGM BUSINESS COLLEGE,

Everyone were discussing about the assignment they had to do in pairs selected by the professors.

Richa: Yaar Antara, you are so lucky, tujhe to Akshat mil gaya.

Antara: So what! Doesn't matters, if he is Akshat or someone else. Mujhe sirf assignment complete karne se matlab hai.

Richa: But it matters to me right! Kaash Sir mujhe aur Akshat ko pair up kar dete. Mujhe mila bhi to kaun wo bandar ki shakal wala insaan, Aniket.

Antara: Serves you well!

Richa: How mean, Antara! Dekh mai ......

Akshat: Hello beauties!

Richa: Hey Handsome!

She replied with the same enthusiasm but Antara as usual just smiled at him.

Akshat: Richa, Aniket is calling you. Wo assignment ke baare me kuchh discuss karna tha use.

Richa: Who is he to order me?? Use mere paas aana chahiye tha na ki mujhe uske paas bulaye.

Akshat: You are absolutely right! Why don't you just go and give him some piece of mind?

Richa: Abhi batati hun use! And Akshat, Antara ko please class tak carefully chhod dena.

Akshat: Yeah, sure! Why not!

Antara: Uski zaroorat nahi hai. Teen mahine ho chuke hai mera is college me. First day nahi hai mera.

Richa: Tum to har roz aise hi aati ho jaise aaj tumhara first day ho.

She angrily leaves the place stomping her feet on the ground as an offended child.

Antara was walking across the garden to go to her next class and Akshat paced to join her.

Akshat: Umm....So what about the assignment? I mean if you don't mind you could visit my home. Ham saath me assignment kar lenge.

Antara: Sorry, I can't! Kyun na ham, college hours ke baad garden me ya library me apna assignment complete kar le.

Akshat looks at her questioning.

Akshat: Agar tum nahi aa sakti to mai tumhare ghar aa sakta hun.

She looked at him and was about to deny him but he continued.

Akshat: ....If your parents don't mind me coming at your place.
