Chapter 10 : The Promise
On the other hand, Anu is upset after treating Tani so badly. Anu meets Rohan after finishing college, along with Akanksha. Rohan winked at Akanksha and asked her to leave.
Akanksha also nodded silently, smiled and said, “Anu I’m going. You come later. I don’t want to be between you two love birds.”
After Akanksha leaves, Rohan holds Anu’s hand and says, “I know it’s natural for you to be upset. She’s your best friend. But it’s not right for you to treat Tani like that.”
Anu said, “But she was talking so badly about you two, I couldn’t accept it. I was very angry then. I didn’t want to say those things to her.” Tears come to Anu’s eyes remembering what she did with Tani.
Rohan said to himself, “Ugh, from where does this girl bring so many tears. I can’t bear such wickedness anymore. But there’s nothing to do, now I have to suffer a little to make my plan successful.”
Rohan removed his thoughts aside for now and started acting with Anu. Rohan held Anu’s cheeks and said, “Look, don’t cry at all. I don’t like seeing tears in your eyes.
Everything will be fine. I’ll talk to Tani if needed. I know she doesn’t think I’m a good boy, but I think of her as my friend. Don’t worry anymore. I have a surprise for you at the fresher party. 1 more day to wait. Now smile.”
Anu smiled a little and said, “Okay, it’s getting late, I should go home now. Bye. Take care.”
Rohan held Anu’s hand and said, “Wait, you’re going to leave like this? You’re going to leave without giving me what I deserve for the smile I put on your face?
Anu said, ‘Sorry! I didn’t quite understand what it meant.’
“A kiss,” said Rohan, placing a finger on his lips.
Seeing Rohan’s gesture, Anu’s heart fluttered. Anu shook her head and said, ‘No, not now.’
Rohan thought to himself again, “The drama has begun. Who knows why these girls can’t take a kiss normally! Is it such a big deal!”
Rohan nodded and said, “No, Right now.” Saying this, Rohan pulled Anu’s hand. Anu’s body collided with his body. He hugged Anu tightly. He was enjoying it. But Anu never had such a strange feeling before. Anu found the feeling very uncomfortable. Rohan had touched her hand earlier. It didn’t happen then. But now she is feeling uneasy. The touch of each other’s bodies brings a sense of pleasure to any lover, but in this case it was different. Why so different?
Anu said, “Rohan I am not feeling comfortable, please leave.”
Rohan brought his lips to Anu’s ear and said, “It’s normal between a boyfriend and girlfriend. There’s nothing wrong with it.”
Anu’s heartbeat increased, but it was due to fear and discomfort. Rohan was stroking his fingers on Anu’s back.
Anu felt constant discomfort at his touch. Anu suddenly got an idea, she pushed him hard and said, “Papa is calling me. It’s late. Bye.” Anu almost ran away from there, from his grip.
Rohan’s mood turns bad as Anu pushes him. He hopped on his bike and headed to the bar.

After reaching home Anu quietly went to her room.
She thinks about Rohan touching her, which she finds very disgusting. But she could not understand why. It’s true that no boy has touched her before, but he does earlier. Why would she find it disgusting to be touched by the one she loves! She kept thinking about all these things while standing under the shower. She scratches her fingers all over her naked breasts, hands, back, neck; unconsciously. She was trying to wash off Rohan’s touches from her body, without realizing it. In the last 20 minutes, Anu’s whole body is red due to scratching. Anu regained consciousness when her mother knocked on the bathroom door, saying that her food was on the table. Anu answered her. She could not find the bottom of her strange thoughts. She controlled her thoughts by looking at her body in the mirror. Thinking about all these things, she was getting suffocated, so she wiped her body, put on her clothes, and left the bathroom quickly.
Anu could also understand that she misses Tani a lot. If Tani were here, she would have helped her find the answers to these questions. “I miss you so much Tani. I hope all misunderstandings between us will be resolved soon.”, Anu said to herself.
Similarly, Tani is also missing Anu a lot. But she must first prove herself. The evil plans of the devils must be foiled and Anu must be rescued from their clutches.
The next day Tani went to college. She went to the classroom and saw Anu sitting next to Akanksha. Tani and Anu looked at each other but no expression was exchanged between them. Tani quietly went and sat two benches away from them. After some time Sayani came and sat next to Tani.
Sayani asked her, “Are you alright?”
“Yes trying to be okay. Much work left.”, replied Tani.
“Did Rishita give you any news?”, Sayani asked.
“No. She told me to meet Akash after class.”, said Tani.
Sayani nodded. After some time the class started. During the class, Akanksha occasionally looked at Tani and gave her a sarcastic smile. Tani’s head was getting hot, she was saying to herself, “I would have killed you and thrown out all your teeth if I had gotten close to you now.”
The classes are over. At tiffin time Tani and Sayani went to meet Akash with Rishita. They met in the back field of the college. Not many people come and go here. This is a good place to meet in private.
Tani came straight to the point and asked Akash, “Did you find out anything?”
Akash said, “Yes! I did. When Rishita called me yesterday, I was going to the bar. When I heard everything, I went to the bar and saw Rohan and his friends there. I didn’t miss a chance and went to them. Prabhas knows me because they are our family friends. They offered me a drink. I saw Rohan was drunk. Prabhas told me, “Oh, it’s nothing, it’s a daily routine for him.” I smiled and nodded. Suddenly Rohan started talking in a drunken voice, I was surprised to hear what he said yesterday. I have recorded everything for proof. I’ll show you.”, Akash said. Akash took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Tanisha and played the video.
In the video, Rohan is seen sitting on the bar stool with a drink in one hand and drunkenly saying, “Yes every day new girl, new drug, new liquor, everything needs to be new for me. Hey.. Prabhas you know, that bitch rejected me today. I wanted to kiss her, she’s so badass, she pushed me. Pushed me huh! The famous Rohan! Who is she, huh? A thousand bitches like her live under my feet. And she is just a poor girl. I will show her her fate very soon. Fresher has 1 day left, on that day she will understand who this Rohan is! And she doesn’t have that one friend; What’s the name, hey.. um.. “TANISHA – the lady Goon” others said to him. Hm.. yes exactly.. right, I will make her understand who she wanted to take revenge from. She said bad things to Anushka about me. Now look, I have created a quarrel between you two hahaha.”
Tani’s anger goes beyond limits, watching the recording. Tani was shaking with anger.
“Tani, Tani calm down. I understand your anger. But we have to handle everything sanely now. One mistake can bring great danger to Anu. We have to act coolly to keep her safe.”, Sayani told Tani.
“I won’t leave them.”, Tani promised with tears and anger in her eyes.
