The Night before the storm
Chapter 9
They kept looking into each other's eyes. However, their thoughts were interrupted by the windows which opened due to the strong & gusty winds. Suddenly the lights went off. There was complete darkness. Arpita was scared of darkness. She panicked. Small drops of sweat streamed down her forehead.
Arpi- "A-Avdhesh.. a-are y-y-you there. Please don't leave me alone."
There was silence in the room.
"Avdhesh.. where are you?"
Still no response from him. Arpita slowly moved behind & She bumped into his hard chest. Avi quickly put his hands around her waist & held her protectively in his arms.
"Im here Arpita. I'm here. Don't worry. I will never you alone."
A faint smile appeared on Arpita's face. She enjoyed his presence. She knew Avdhesh wouldn't leave her alone. It seemed liked ages. Both of them stood in each other's arms.
It was almost 4 am. Arpita slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised to find herself in bed. All she remembered was that she was in Avi's arms.
"Avdhesh," she jumped out of bed & looked around, but she couldn't find him. Arpita heard some buzzing sound. She turned around & found her cell phone vibrating with the screen flashing AVDHESH. Before she could say something,
Avi- "You fell asleep in my arms that I didn't want to disturb you."
Arpita blushed. "So you left me on the bed & went away huh?"
Avi- "If I could, I would keep you in my arms. Forever.."
Arpi- "Oh Ho.. Well, Mr.Avdhesh, thank you very much. But I'd prefer sleeping on my bed."
Avi smiled, "Okay.. Now go & sleep. I want my angel to rest."
Next morning, Arpita as usual was on her way to college with RV.
RV- "Arpi, is there anything that is worrying you? I mean, Yo were quite tensed few days back.."
Arpi- "Oh Not at all RV. Im fine."
RV- "Are you sure?"
Arpi- "Yes."
RV- "Okay fine, lets go."
Both of them sit on RV's bike. Arpi put her hands on RV's shoulder just to make sure she doesn't fall. The bike jerked forward & Arpi almost fell on RV's back.
RV- "Oh Im so sorry Arpi. Are you alright?"
Arpi- "Yeah RV. Im fine. Let's go."
Unknown to them someone was quietly watching from a distance. Those eyes were dead set on Arpita.
"How could you do this Arpita? How could you?"
On reaching college, RV left Arpi outside the college & went to finish his work. Arpita began walking towards the college gate when suddenly a car stopped right in front of her. Through the tinted glass, she could see someone who brought a sweet smile on her face.
"Avdhesh"
Avi- "Get in."
Arpi- "Avdhesh.. I have to attend class."
Avi- "Your class begins at 9.00. You still have an hour. I need to talk to you. Its important."
Arpi- "Umm.. Okay."
