Chapter 28: Revenge 2

Noah's POV:

I sat in front of the doctor. She was instructing me.

"Also, make sure you don't remind her of anything that makes her sad, it's best if you can take her away from here"

"I'll surely do that" I said.

"Noah. Listen. She will be able to feel everything but will be unable to express it. She is so vulnerable right now because she has no sense at all of what is right and what is wrong. She'll do anything & everything anyone would say. So, it's a big responsibility for you. Don't let her alone. She needs someone by her side all the time"

"I know doctor. Don't worry"

"Do you want to inform her mother?"

"I don't want to inform her"

"But.."

"I know doc. But she isn't here anyway, it's totally worthless to worry her. And I'm damn sure I can heal her"

"That's good if you're so sure. But it will definitely take time, Noah. How will you manage it?"

"If needed then I will inform her mother. But until it’s not mandatory, I'll do otherwise"

"That's it. I trust you Noah. Bring her back. Call me if you need my assistance"

"Thank you, doc"

"Noah.. wait. Actually, I have a doubt. I mean.. I don't think that he must have just come near her.. I mean you understand, right?"

"What do you want to say mam?"

"Ask her about everything to know the truth"

"Okay mam.. I will"

I said and went to Astrid. She was sitting, staring at the ground. I hesitated for a moment as I got mesmerized by her beauty.

I sat beside her. She looked at me.

"Astrid, listen. Today.." I was hesitating, but then I thought that she wasn't having any emotions anyway. "Today, tell me whatever happened with you after the fight.. in detail"

"Okay Noah. When you left from there, he recorded you saying that you lost. He blackmailed me and then I agreed to do whatever he says, with the conditions that he will delete that recording. He forced a kiss on me, and I slapped him, for reasons unknown. Then I came to see you—" I interrupted.

"And I showed my anger by snatching hand, right?" I said, guilt dripping from my face.

"Yeah but didn't you do so because your hand was hurt?"

"I would never snatch my hand from you even if its fractured" I said, and she didn't respond. I then realized what I said.

"I-I mean that yes it was hurt that's why"

"Yeah.. and then I talked to you and after that, when I went out he pulled me again and then dragged me to some lonely corridor. He then pushed me towards the wall suddenly and then—" I again interrupted her.

"Okay fine, I heard it, take rest now" I said and went straight away from the room. My blood was boiling in anger. He did this much??? He.. he even didn't think of her dignity... My eyes would have been really red in anger, but at the same time, some watery substance left my eyes. I couldn't hear it more.. What he did was totally disgusting. I'll make him pay. I know I did make her suffer by asking this question. She didn't show.. But she might have been hurt as she told this. Don't worry Astrid. I'll devote rest of my life to you now.

I went straight to that bastard's house. I called him out. I was surprised seeing him heavily beat.

"Karma is a bitch, right?" I asked, voluntarily sprinkling salt on his wounds.

"What do you want now? My parents have also done what you wanted. Now please leave me alone!" he said. I grabbed his collar. He stepped backwards.

"I'll show no mercy on you today!!!" I yelled. He bent down on knees.

"Please.. Leave me Noah.. I'm sorry.." he said.

"I guess.. Astrid also pleaded to you right?" I said. He looked down. "And you didn't listen to her, so don't expect it from me!!" I yelled and dragged him with his collar to my car and then drove him to the police station.

"Noah. Please!!!" he yelled. I didn't reply and went inside with him. He was in so much bad state, he was nowhere in the state to fight.

"This boy is 19 years old and has harassed a girl, me being a witness, wants him to be arrested!" I announced.

"Sir.. actually..." they said. I was confused.

"Sir, he is the son of Mr. James!" one of them exclaimed.

"And how does that make any difference?" I asked.

"We can't punish him... We are sorry.. There is so much pressure from his dad.. No.." they said. I took out my phone. I showed them the recording I've been doing from past 7 minutes.

"And does this recording makes any pressure on you, if played in court?" I said.

"What!? Delete it right now!" they screamed. They didn't realize it was still on and recording.

"Punish him or I will go to court!" I told.

"But—"

"Right now!" I said.

"Fine.. Fine.. You are right.. I will punish him.. We'll take him under arrest for a week and treat him badly.." They said.

"And know this. If you don't punish him, believe me, you will be fired that second!"

"OKAY... OKAY sir we got it" they said, and I went from there while seeing angry and defeated looks on his face. He suddenly stopped me.

"Noah!" he yelled.

"Hm What rascal?"

"Your Astrid will suffer soon again!" he yelled. I was going to punch him hard, but the police stopped me.

"Leave this to police, sir, we will make sure that he learns his lesson" they said. I went from there.

I returned to the infirmary at college. She was still in the room. I told everyone that there was some urgent work, so I had to leave. Of course, that was unacceptable reason, so they tried dialing my 'parent's' number, but I bet they already blocked it. So.. I was left with a little punishment. Nothing, just some work the next day.

I sat beside Astrid, who was just laying on the bed.

"The vacations will start a week later" I told her.

Xander informed me about it earlier today.

"Hm" she said.

"But, we will be taking this week off too"

"Okay" she said.

"Let's go" I said. Although the college was not yet over, we went off. I took her to her home by my car. Yup, I still didn't sell it, because I can still handle my expenses.

"Pack your things" I said.

"Hm" was her simple reply. She started packing all her things when Xander called me. I went out to attend his call.

"Hey, Xan. What happened?"

"You went off?"

"Yup. You know about her, right?"

"Yup. So now.. What's the plan?"

"I'll let her stay with me at the hotel. We both will not come to college this month, regardless of whether vacations are there or not"

"But, hey, wait. You will stay in the hotel with her??" he asked, and anyone could sense deep shock in his words.

"Yup. I can't leave her any moment, let alone the whole night"

"But.. really? And for god's sake why the hell would you then stay at the same hotel and, I’m assuming, the same room? Can't you just stay at her place now that she lives alone??"

"Nope bro. I can't use her place, because she has no sense of what she should allow me and I'm not bad to take advantage, okay?"

"Yup. I understood bro. Do you need my help? I suppose right now you are helping her move her stuff?"

"Oh crap! I forgot to help her. Bye!!!"

"Huh, bye!" he said, and I went inside. She was still packing. I started packing whatever stuff I saw and then when it was over, I took her to the hotel.

"We will stay here?" she asked me. I was quiet shocked. I thought that she can't ask anything because she can't understand or think anything. I guess she is understanding everything.

"Hm" I said, and we went inside. I helped her place her things. I ordered the staff to place one more bed in the room. I changed the room because the older one was small and we needed two bed, of course!

"Astrid. Make yourself comfortable. I will just come in a second" I said and went out. I needed to talk a little about our meal to the receptionist. Huh, I know receptionist doesn't arrange them, but I need to arrange it for every day, so I'm buying the package.

Just after the orders were placed, My phone rang. My eyes widened when I saw the name 'Liam' flashing over my phone. I was flaming with anger. Did he do something to Ava too???

I picked it up.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Noah. But I came to know about Astrid's condition, so I thought of calling"

"Oh really? Do you want to hurt her too now?"

"NO Noah. I'm sorry for what I did in the past. You know... I fell in love with Ava. She changed me completely. Well, I called you because I know you don't know about Astrid's favorites. I know a few because I saw her a few times with Lucas. So..."

"No need. I don't trust you!"

"Trust me, Noah. You also must not have seen me with him for a few days, have you???"

"No.."

"That's because when he came to know that I'm in love.. he left me saying that I'm a garbage and that I've changed and don't deserve to be his friend..."

"I need time to trust you, Liam. Wait for my call" I said and cut the call.
