Chapter No 14
He was driving expressionlessly. She always felt when he was around that she was sitting on some blocks of ice.
She looked at him from the corner of her eyes. His expression was cold, light brown hair had fallen on his forehead and his intense blue eyes were on the road. He looked as if he was a perfect sculpture.
“Have you done staring?” he asked in a deep voice. She looked away instantly. Her heart was beating fast.
He stopped the car, and she came back to her senses. He was not looking at her.
“Do you need an invitation?” he asked. She looked at him confused. “Get out of my car,” he said.
She looked around to see if they were in the college parking area. She did not realize that he was this fast.
Idiot.
She opened the door from her side and got out, walking slowly towards the entrance.
He stared at her for a while, but she didn't look at him. He inhaled and started the car again.
“Hey Saliha,” he was about to take a turn when he heard a deep hoarse voice.
He looked in that direction instantly and the next thing that made him burn in anger was her talking to some random guy.
He clenched his teeth and turned his car in that direction so that they could not see him, but he could not hear them, but they were so far away.
He took a deep breath to calm himself and put his hoodie on that he kept in the back seat of the car. It was enough to cover his face so that she could not recognize him.
He got out of the car and walked towards the pillar to hide.
“Where is Hunza?” she asked.
“She is inside, she was not bringing me here,” said Kashaan, annoyed. She chuckled and that made Roman even more furious.
“Well, I came here to meet you, my lady,” said Kashaan while bending in front of her while placing his hand on his heart. She giggled.
Roman clenched his teeth even tighter, furiously.
“Come on let's go, or else Hunza will be pissed,” she said and got inside. He punched the pillar, angrily.
He decided to follow them, but he stopped after hearing a girl.
“Hey, is that girl that ran off yesterday,” said a girl talking to the boy standing next to her. They were eating fries.
“Yeah, it was Atta I think she was escaping from,” said the boy.
"What's her name?" asked the girl.
"Saliha, I think she is new here," said the boy.
“I hope this is not something serious,” said the boy while putting chips in his mouth.
“Oh come on, I hope it is, we are going to see some drama. Have you remembered the last time he used and humiliated the girl and exploited her, but he escaped with it as he got the highest status,” said the girl?
Roman’s expression got tensed.
“Yeah, I don’t know what is coming this time, because whenever he gets his eyes on some girl, he never steps back,” said the boy, smiling.
Roman’s blood boiled, and he walked towards his car furiously. He dialed a number on his phone.
“Hey, where have you been the last day?” asked Hania. Saliha got déjà vu of the last events.
“I, I was not feeling well, so I did not come,” she said, hesitant.
Hania nodded, Kashaan was eating a burger, so he did not notice slight fear in Saliha’s face, but Hunza did notice, but she did not say a word.
“Hey, it's a zoology class we have to attend,” said Hania.
“Yeah, I almost forgot, let’s go and you Kashaan Raheem AlvI, if you dare to shag here in my college I will make you marry a bitch,” said Hunza to her brother while pointing her finger in front of his nose.
He smiled, sheepishly though.
“What if they come first?” he asked, self-consciously.
“Yeah, yeah, they came to grab you. Last time I took him to my music class, guess what? He shagged my music teacher,” she said, annoyed.
“Oh come on sister, she was pretty,” he said, pretending that he was blushing.
She rolls her eyes.
“Listen, Kash, do it one more time I will…” She was about to complete her sentence when someone interrupted.
“Neuter….” Said Emaad, smirking. “Oh, in your case, she will castrate,” he added while looking at Hunza.
“Stay out of it, Senior boy,” she said while putting pressure on the word ‘Senior boy’.
He walked towards her and looked deep into her eyes.
“Well, I am not the one who is atrociously on the loose snatching away men’s balls,” he whispered, and she turned pink.
“And for your boyfriend, I feel very sorry, because he will soon lose your adulthood,” he said while looking at Kashan, coldly.
Hania gasped. “He is…” she tried to make his misunderstanding clear.
“This is none of your business,” Hunza hissed. He clenched his teeth and opened his mouth to say something, but she raised her hand.
“Now will you excuse us, we have a lot of things to do,” she said while grabbing Kashan’s arm, and then she looked at her friends, giving them indications to move along.
They all followed her, and he stood there. His jaw tightened and so did his fist.
Saliha was still lost in her thoughts. She was feeling anxious. Because Atta had given her a deadline or else he would reach her home.
“What will I do?” She was sitting in the classroom absent-minded.
“What will I do?” she muttered this time. Hunza was sitting with her and heard her.
She looked at her instantaneously. Saliha’s facial expressions looked so worried. The fear could be seen in her eyes and she was blinking a lot.
She wanted to ask, but she could not speak during the lecture. Just then, a figure entered the class and Saliha gasped.
It was Atta.
“Yes Atta, what can I do for you?” she asked.
“Mam, I am sorry, I am interrupting your class, I need to talk to one of your students here,” he said while looking directly at Saliha.” Dean has asked me to bring her along,” he said, explaining. Saliha felt her heart drop to her stomach.
Hunza was staring at the boy.
I have seen this guy somewhere before. She thought.
“Which one dear?” asked the Professor.
“That one, the girl named Saliha Ali Gardezi," he said while looking deep into her eyes and she felt a shiver through her spine.
Does he know my name? My whole name? But this name... I don't use it on Roman's instruction.
"Don't you dare to tell me anymore what relationship you have with me....us...." Roman's cold voice echoed in her head.
“Oh, the new girl, go Saliha,” said the professor.
She looked at him and then at the professor. Anxiety was dancing in her eyes.
No, no, no, I will not go with him.
The Professor turned back to the lecture.
“Do you want me to come?” asked Hunza in a whisper. She nods in no.
She took a deep breath and got up.
Walking towards him, she felt as if she was carrying a lot of weight.
She looked back at her friend Hunza and Hania, who were both looking at her.
Hunza’s expression changed.
She walked out of the class. He was walking behind him, afraid. Just then she felt as if someone was watching her. She turned and there was no one.
I can’t let him control me.
She was screaming inside.
They were now an uncrowded area of the college.
He turned instantly, making her startled, and grabbed her arm harshly. “What have you thought?” he hissed.
“Let me go,” she said, angrily. He smirked.
“So the kitty got claws?” he asked in a sinister voice.
“I am not afraid of you, let go of me,” she said, screaming, but no one was there.
“How about if I show you this,” he said while showing her his phone screen.
She gasped.
He had her disgraced picture. He must have been stalking her, and then she remembered these pictures were taken when she had accidentally spoiled her uniform with juice and went to the restroom to clean.
“No, no, where did you get these?” she asked, angrily.
“Well, I did not get what I needed, then you are going to get more,” he said, smirking.
Her eyes were wide open and anger burst into her. She slapped him on the face harder.
He looked at her angrily and pinned her to the wall, her head hit the wall, and she felt the world was all shattered in front of her.
She fell while touching the back of her head.
The last thing she remembered was a tall figure approaching her and a scent she always craved for touched her senses. The furious blue eyes dug into her and, for the first time, she saw emotions of anxiety in those eyes like a tsunami in the ocean.
