Hi everyone, I thought that I should update another chapter, afterall, I did take a long time on the previous one.
Chapter 18:
Siddharth and Manny both walked upto their bikes, laughing on some jokes.
S: Ek second Manny, mujhe wapas jaana hoga
M: Par kyu?
S: Woh... bas kuch kam hai
M: Okay phir mein wait karta hoon
S: Thanks Yaar, but tumhe jaana chahiye, bohut dark hogaya hai
M: Thikhe phir, bye
S: Bye
With that Manny took off on his bike while Siddharth ran towards the school parking lot.
He looked around but couldn't find Afreen anywhere.
Sighing, he started to return towards his parked cycle, when he heard a scream.
That startled him a little, and he instantly recognised the voice.
He grabbed his bike and began following that voice. His heart beating really fast. Will Afreen be okay?
*~*~*~*~*~*
Afreen screamed again, this time more loudly. She realised there was no use. She had remembered her Mum warning her about some criminal that morning, however, she hadn't listened closely.
She felt a hand tightening around her shoulder. Just when she saw another hand grab onto the Man's neck.
She looked back, trying to see who it was. That's when she saw that person.
He was tall and handsome, with sharp features.
Afreen looked at him, as he kicked and punched the goons.
Eventually, after they had ran away, he looked at her.
His expression softened, and a glow formed in his eyes.
A: Thank you...
The boy smiled.
??: Tum... thik ho?
Afreen smiled back, nodding gently.
??: I'm Karan
He took out his hand, Afreen smiled and accepted it.
A: Afreen
Just then, one of the men brought down a bamboo stick onto the back of Karan's head. Karan clutched his head, groaning in pain as the men came and began punching and kicking him.
A: Karan!
Just then one of the men came and brought their bamboo stick high, ready to smash Afreen with it, when a familiar arm stopped it mid way. Afreen looked up to see him. Yes him. Siddharth.
He came in front of her, standing in her defence.
??: Aur tu kaun hai? Is ladki ka aashiq?
The man's eyes glowed with anger.
S: Main joh bhi hoon, tumhe Afreen ke pas aane nahi dunga!
With that, Siddharth pulled the bamboo stick, flipping the goon over.
He quickly went over to Afreen, who looked at him with tears streaming down her eyes.
S: Afreen, tum thik hona?
Afreen nodded, feeling her energy drown, and her eyelids grow heavy.
A: Siddharth...
Her voice drowned as she felt darkness overcome her sight.
Siddharth saw Afreen faint in his arms. He picked her up (Bridal style) and began running before any other criminal can attack them.
He knew where Afreen's house was, afterall he had been there before.
He knocked on the door several times, before a girl, possibly his age opened it. Without saying a word, he pushed past her and ran into Afreen's room. Laying her down gently, he turned around to find the girl staring at him with a shock and angry face.
??: Tum kaun ho?
S: Woh... um... mein... Siddharth hoon
??: Tum Afreen ke saath Kya kar raha the, dekho, mujhe sida sida batao nayto mein police ko bulaongi!
S: Woh... gunde, um...
He didn't trust this girl, who knows Afreen may not want to tell anyone what had happened.
Instead he saw Afreen's bedroom window open, and raced past her. Jumping out of there, climbing down the pipe as he covered his ears on the sound of that girl screaming.
He ran to where his bike was parked, and got onto it before rushing off home.
He knew his Mum would not like it when he came in so late.
But right now, he just wanted to get home where things would be safe.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Afreen opened her eyes to see her cousin Sanjana screaming out of the window.
A: Sanjana... mein... Yaha?
She rubbed her eyes, slowly coming to her senses.
San: Afreen! Tum thik ho!
A: Haan... Sanjana, mein Yaha kaise aiye?
San: Woh ek ladke ne tumhe Yaha leke aaya, don't worry Afreen, mein police ko bulati hoon
A: Nahi! Tum police ko mat call karo
San: Huh? Par kyu
A: Kyu ki uss ladke ne meri jaan bachayi
San: Kya?!
A: Haan, woh kuch gundo ne attack kiya tha, aur Karan and Siddharth ne meri jaan bachayi
San: Haan! Woh Siddharth ne tujhe idhar laaya tha
A: Siddharth... ne?
San: Haan, aur phir window se jump kar ke bhag gaya
Afreen giggled.
A: Woh definitely Siddharth hi hai
Then a thought struck Afreen. Why would Siddharth help her even though she knew he hates her. Anyways, she had to say thank you to him.
Maybe his not that bad of a guy...
To Be Continued...
