College life is one of the beautiful phase of one's life. All that matters is friendship, being accepted in a group, hanging out, having fun, going for movies, bunking classes, falling in love, dating, and anything and everything that involves killing time. College life is a story of friendship, love and heartbreaks. It gets all the more interesting when you fall for the bad boy. To make things more adventurous, your father turns out to be the principal of the college.
Meher sighed thinking about it when Sasha came running to her. She was panting, what could be reason be; meher wondered.
"Abeer..." she said.
"What now...??" Meher couldn't help but ask.
"He... He got into a fight... In the parking lot..." Sasha spoke.
Meher didn't listen to any of it further and ran towards the parking lot. She knew she had to reach there as quickly as possible, given she can't risk abeer getting caught by the principal, by her dad who already knows about abeer's reputation in the college.
There he was with his head bowed down and being lectured about the disciplinary decorum to be maintained in the college warning. He and the guy who he fought with, given a warning. May be the last warning, meher thought. Just when the principal turned to leave, she his behind a pillar. Her father seeing her there witnessing all this, would make things difficult.
Abeer and that guy, Sanket shot deadly glares at each other and went in opposite directions. Abeer was walking furiously towards the college building, when meher pulled him behind the pillar. Abeer looked at meher for quite a minute or two, expecting her to give him some lecture but to his surprise she started crying...
"Baby i am sorry..."
Meher continued crying and left his hand, she was holding.
Abeer looked at his hand and the moment meher left it, he felt... He left nothing... Lifeless... It was that feeling of emptiness and sadness.
"Aww... Baby I'm fine... Not even a scratch..." Abeer said cupping meher's cheeks.
"I'm not crying because of it..." she said while crying.
"Then...?? Are you worried about that creep..??"
"I'm worried about us..." Meher said pulling his hand away from her cheeks.
"Us... Like really...?? Why..??" He was utterly confused now.
"Dad again caught you... And this time fighting with a guy, in amidst of a boxing match or whatever you call it. He used to think you are a rich spoilt brat and now... Now your image has been degraded to a whole new different level... Now you are the bad boy of the college..." Meher replied composing herself and wiping her tears.
"This sadu principal of ours... He has a problem with me... Oldie, Ill tempered, irritating, rude, and -"
"Stop... You are talking about my father..." Meher stopped abeer in between.
"Baby what I mean is... He is sweet, understanding and most loveliest company to have around..." Abeer reframed his sentence.
"Changing the adjectives... But what about your opinion about him... It won't change..." Meher whispered closing her eyes.
"Let's not talk about it..."
"Abeer if this continues to happen again and again -"
This time abeer cut meher in between.
"If it continues to happen, then what...?? You will complain to your daddy dearest...??? Or you will break it up with me...?? Or Your daddy will suspend me, or rusticate me...?? Or snatch you from me...?? What exactly...??" Abeer trapped meher between the pillar and his hands caging her from sides.
"He will probably make sure I having nothing to do with you... Send me away.. Or anything that keeps us away..." Meher replied without fearing him and his anger.
"Just shut up... This is never gonna happen..."
"Why...??? Because you don't have the courage to hear and accept the truth...think for once... Why would my dad approve of you...?? Why would he want me to get married to you...?? You who in his eyes, is a rich spoilt brat who thinks he can buy anything with money... Who has nil values... No respect for elders... And the list continues..."
"He should agree because we love each other... I love you with everything I have..." Abeer reasoned.
"How am I suppose to tell him that...??? I can't tell him of his daughter's association with college's bad boy..."
"I don't care... That's your problem..." he said unsure of what to say.
"Abeer... lets just take some time off... i am sick n tired of all this... Juggling between you and dad... Listening to all the bad things you both say about each other..." Meher said after taking a long breath.
"Time off... You mean a break up..." asked abeer.
"If its what to call it, then yes..."
"Ohh darling... This break up will not happen... You are mine... Only mine... You belong to me Meher..." Abeer said leaning dangerously close to meher.
"Meher only belong to her father... And after that... It will be the guy she gets married to..." She replied looking into his eyes. The very eyes which drives her crazy and makes her heart flutter.
"Ohh... He brainwashed you... Now I got it... He must have said things about me and you believed him... You are so gullible sometimes..."
Befire meher could say a word, Abeer again continued.
"Why did you listen to him...?? You know I'm not like what he thinks... You love me... You should have trust on me..."
"Dad sternly told me last night that he will find a guy for me as college ends... You know in another six months... He wants to see me settled in life... And I understand why he wants that... He wants a stable and secure life for me..." said meher.
"Being understanding... Then why can't you understand what I am going through... Don't you see how much I love you...?? How can u think of marrying somebody else... Ms Purohit cant you see i am changing... i am changing only because I want you beside me for the rest of my life... I love you..." Abeer told meher holding her hand.
Meher smiled at him and freed her hand from his grip.
"I just need some time alone... To think... See u later..." She said and took a step forward to leave.
Abeer held her hand stopping her but then left it. He turned around and said "listen to me before you go... you will get married to me... ONLY... and if by any chance, its not me, then it would be no one... you will be mine... Agar tum meri nahi hui... Toh kasam hai humare pyaar ki, tumhein kisi aur ka bhi nahi hone dunga... Ya toh Mrs. Malhotra ya toh hamesha ke liye Ms. Purohit... Teesra option hai hi nahi baby...".
