Chapter-8

Naina's POV

I was thinking about the tattoo on the hand of that man. It seemed like I had seen the first letter which was 'N' but I'm not sure about that. I have to find out who Mr. K is who has become a mystery man in my beautiful life.

If I meet him once I'll make sure to give him a different treatment. Suddenly, the doorbell rang making me snap out of my thoughts.

There stood my amazing friend who was displaying her 32 teeth as if she was doing a commercial.

"Good morning Nainu." She wished hugging me tightly making me smile.

"Morning to you."

I didn't want to argue with her for yesterday. She had searched for me but was unable to find me, so it wasn't her fault. I wouldn't blame her.

"Hey, again a bouquet?" She asked watching the flowers in the vase.

"Yes, that mystery man sent and he only dropped me here," I explained everything to her but not the kiss part.

"You know that mystery man of yours scolded me so badly," Rithu said frowning.

"Why did he scold you and for what?,"I asked eagerly looking at her.

"I couldn't find you anywhere, i dialled your number. He answered the phone. Excuse me. Your friend is safe. I just dropped off her at your apartment. If you cared about your friend. You shouldn't have left her alone. Thank God i was there on time. What would have happened? If i wasn't there on time. Think about it. Anyway i appreciate your concern. Take care and Be careful next time," Saying that he hung up the phone.," Rithu said.

"I am so sorry Naina,"Rithu's guilty voice bought me out of my thoughts.

"It's okay. Please don't say sorry. ," I said wiping her tears.

"I don't know how much i was indulged myself in enjoying forgetting about you. I am really sorry," Rithika said.

"It's okay. And please no sorry."

"For the first time i was scared. What If something happened to you?, I can't live. You're my only family. But i am thankful to your mystery man for saving you," Rithika spoke but i don't know why this mystery man is involving my life.

"I don't know what to do?,"

"I think we need to do something about your mystery man," She teased.

"Hey! He's not my man, ok," I said seriously.

It is because I don't want anyone except Shourya; he's my world, my everything, my heart beats only for him. He's the only man in my life and no one else matters. I don't care about this mystery man. I came out of my thoughts when Rithu twisted fingers in front of my face.

"Sorry, I zoned out. Tell me what you're saying." I said coming out of my thoughts.

"How to find this man?" She asked.

"Let's leave it. Remember, we have classes tomorrow. We have to prepare."

"Ok, let's go bookworm," She chuckled. I pinched her hard on her shoulder.

"Ouch! That hurts Nainu," she exclaimed crying in pain.

"Wait, now I'll show you the pain. Run for your life Ms. Khanna, I'm coming."

We kept running until we became thirsty for water. I brought water to drink and then we started pillow fight. We kept fighting till she slept in my arms.

I miss this fun with Meera Sis. I miss you Sister and my two little rockstars. I wanted to talk with Sis, so I dialled her number. She didn't lift. I dialled my brother's number who's actually my brother-in-law. He lifted after two rings.

"Hi Brother in law."

"Hello, who's this?"

"Brother in law, it's me Naina."

"Oh! My half wife. you remember me. I don't think so." He exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Bil. I got busy in assignments and had no time to call you all. I miss my family. I am once again sorry Bil for ignoring you all," I said sobbing.

"Don't cry, Kiddo. I know about you. I'm just pulling your leg, you are such a crybaby. If my brother gets to know that i made you cry. He'll start his class." He was laughing hysterically on the other side of the phone.

"What is this, Brother in law? Here I'm crying and you're teasing me."

"Oh ok, I will send your handsome husband to your place to make you stop crying," He again teased me.

Whenever Shourya's name is taken blush automatically arises on my cheeks.

"Oh my sister in law is blushing now." I can imagine his smirk.

"No.... I... I'm not," I stammered.

"Okay, now tell me how's my sister and two little rockstars are," I queried.

"They are good but your sister is missing you too much."

I miss them too.

"They are showing circus to us," He said laughing at his children's antics.

"Ok, good. I think they are giving good punishment to both of you."

"Yes, they are."

"Ok Brother in law, Can I talk to Sis because she's not picking up my call?"

"Ok wait, I'll give phone to her."

"Hi Sis, how are you?"

"I am fine, Baby."

"I miss you Sis"

"I miss you too Sweetie." I could sense her crying.

We talked for sometime and I went to prepare dinner. Rithu and me had dinner and slept.

Next day

My day started with Rithu waking me up. After completing my morning chores, I changed to a light green colour top and brown legging. I came out of my room and waited for Rithu as we eat together everytime. When she came we ate and went to college.

After the completion of first lecture, next was Shourya's but he didn't come because he had a meeting. His proxy was taken by English lecturer.

We all went to canteen and continued the discussion of our hangover and the party. I wasn't interested in all that.

Next an announcement was made by the Principal that the preparation for cultural programme had started. It was necessary for everyone to participate in it otherwise they would be punished.

I can't back out now. I'll have to participate and give my name for it.

Rithu, Rohit and me gave our names for dancing. I need to participate in this with a dance partner but I had no one. They were going to select the names which would be showcased on the notice board.

After two hours the names were displayed on the board. I had to perform with Rohit. I was happy having him as my dance partner as he's my best buddy.

I wanted to know who Shourya's partner was. I would make sure to keep an eye on that Madam. I trust my husband but I don't trust people who throw themselves on him.

After seeing Shourya's partner I wanted to kill her. I really hate her.

Mr. Shourya's dancing partner was Ms..............

Rithika POV

We had blast yesterday.It was time for us to leave, i couldn't find Naina anywhere.  We have searched everywhere but she was nowhere. I quickly dialled her number and it was received by some unknown person which made my heart race in fear.

God please keep her safe.

She's the only person who cares for me genuinely. I don't want any scratch on her body. It's my mistake i left her alone in the bar. I shouldn't have left her alone. God i don't know what to do?

"Hello," Unknown person answered making my heart run wildly.

"Where's my friend? What happened to her? What did you do?," I continued firing questions at him.

"Excuse me Miss. Your friend is safe. I just dropped off her at your apartment. If you cared about your friend. You shouldn't have left her alone. Thank God i was there on time. What would have happened? If i wasn't there on time. Think about it. Anyway i appreciate your concern. Take care and Be careful next time," Saying that he hung up the phone.

What the?

Did he just scold me, for my carelessness?

It's okay. He's right. What if really someone took her off instead of him?

This thought scared me to shit.

"Guys, She reached home safely and i think we should also leave,"

I informed everyone and Rohit insisted me and Soumya to stay at his place, because it wasn't safe to leave now. Me and Soumya slept in one of his guest room.

My heart is still feeling scared for her safety.

Who is that man?

Pushing all those thoughts, i slept myself feeling tired.

Next Day

I woke up immediately, washed my face and wiping my face from towel, i glanced towards the bed to see, Soumya already woke up.

"Give me two minutes. We will leave," Saying that she rushed to washroom and she came exactly after two minutes making me smile. This girl is so fast. We both moved to his room, and Mr is still sleeping.

"Write a note. Let's leave," Saying that Soumya found a pen and paper. I quickly wrote not saying. We we're leaving. Sticking that note to fridge we exited from his place. We saw share auto, and entered inside. First was my home, laters her's. I rang the bell eagerly. Door opened revealing my beautiful friend. She looks safe and sound. Wishing her good morning, i hugged her tightly.

"You know that mystery man of yours scolded me so badly," I said frowning.

"Why did he scold you and for what?," Naina asked eagerly looking at me.

"I couldn't find you anywhere, i dialled your number. He answered the phone. Excuse me. Your friend is safe. I just dropped off her at your apartment. If you cared about your friend. You shouldn't have left her alone. Thank God i was there on time. What would have happened? If i wasn't there on time. Think about it. Anyway i appreciate your concern. Take care and Be careful next time," Saying that he hung up the phone.," I said.

"I am so sorry Naina," I apologized.

"It's okay. Please don't say sorry. ," Naina said wiping my tears.

"I don't know how much i was indulged myself in enjoying forgetting about you. I am really sorry," I said.

"It's okay. And please no sorry."

"For the first time i was scared. What If something happened to you? I can't live. You're my only family. But i am thankful to your mystery man for saving you," I spoke but i don't know why this mystery man so much getting involved her life.

"I don't know what to do?," She was confused.

"I think we need to do something about your mystery man," I teased which made her irritate.I know she hates whenever I tease with her someone else.
