Part 3
"Bye" Khushi said smiling.She went inside her apartment and ran to the window.Her eyes met with her Masked Man's.He smiled at her.She waved and he waved back.He sat in his car and drove off.
Khushi turned around to meet Lavanya's questioning gaze "Who was that and what was up with the mask?"
Khushi giggled "Um..that's my secret admirer"
"Then why the mask"
"Lavanya" Khushi said rolling her eyes "I told you remember"
Lavanya shrugged "Just don't get it"
Khushi gave a sigh and then nodded "Yeah.Even I don't understand but" she sighed again"I don't know what it is about him that makes me want to trust him" Lavanya looked at Khushi and nodded.
***************************************************
The next day,Lavanya and Khushi arrived at their lockers.Khushi opened hers and smiled when a note fell out.She caught it before it hit the ground.Khushi opened it with a curious Lavanya peeking from over her shoulder.Khushi laughed "It's probably from him.I'll read it out loud" Khushi began reading "As melodious as it is,there are no words to describe it.No way to figure how it can be so perfect.Your voice captures attention especially your laugh.I could listen to it forever and never get bored" Khushi slightly blushed as she finished.She put it in her locker and closed it.She leaned her back against the locker and sighed "Wow"
"Indeed wow" Lavanya agreed "I wonder it will be about tomorrow" Khushi gave a shy smile and left when the bell rang.
***************************************************
Lavanya and Khushi were walking home "A rose for the beautiful lady" Khushi heard as a bright red rose was brought in front of her.Khushi gave a shy smile as she took it from her Masked Man.She caressed the petals.
"And what about me?" Lavanya pouted "Am I not pretty?"
Khushi giggled and looked at her Masked Man.He seemed a bit reluctant and hesitant.He looked around.Spotting a yellow flower,he plucked it out from the ground and gave it to Lavanya "Here you are" he said "I should have met her alone" he muttered "So awkward" He looked at Khushi and smiled "Mind going on a date with me.I promise you won't regret it"
Khushi grinned and then looked at Lavanya "Um do you want to go"
"And you wonder why I tried to make go on those blind dates.When a guy asks you on a date,it means he wants some alone time with you" Lavanya whispered.
Khushi blushed "Oh" she said.She looked at her awaiting Mask Man and nodded.She smiled "I would love to"
***************************************************
Lavanya went to her apartment while Khushi went with her date.They watched a Salman Khan movie increasing Khushi's delight.They talked and found out they have many things in common.At the end of the day,Khushi Masked Man dropped her off in front of her door like a gentleman and gave her a rose making Khushi smile.
***************************************************
Everyday there would be a letter for Khushi in her locker.Everyday Khushi's Masked Man would take her out.Everyday before parting,Khushi's Masked Man would give her a rose.Khushi knew she was falling more and more in lover with him.
One day,Khushi was about to go to her locker and meet Lavanya.She was about to climb down the stairs when someone tapped her shoulder.She turned around and saw Shyam.He was only in one of her classes and they didn't really talk much so it confused Khushi what he wanted to say to her "Yes" she said.
"I really like you" he said in a straight forward manner.
"Excuse me"
"I like you.Will you go out with me"
Khushi took a step back "I am sorry" she said "But I am in a relationship" she turned around and climbed down the stairs.Just as her foot was about to reach the fourth step,she felt a sudden push.Khushi gasped.She closed her eyes.Nothing.Nothing happened.She opened her eyes to meet a pair of brown eyes looked down at her with concern.She looked at him,feeling she had seen him somewhere before.He didn't say anything to her and looked behind her.Khushi followed his gaze to see Shyam.Shyam stared back for a minute.He turned around and left.Khushi looked back at the stranger "Thank you" she said.He nodded.He didn't say a word and left.
***************************************************
The next day Khushi was about to open her locker,excited to read another one of Masked Man's letter when she heard something or to be more specific,someone,drop behind her.She turned around,almost gasping at the same time as Lavanya did.Shyam was on his knees,bruises covering him from head to toe.There was some blood seeping from his temple making Khushi bite her lip in slight fear "I...I am sorry" he said clasping his hands together in front of her "Please Please forgive me" his eyes kept darting to Khushi and behind her.Khushi frowned and looked behind but saw no other than Lavanya.She looked back at Shyam who was literally begging her "Please.I promise to never create any trouble for you.In fact I'll make sure you never even see me but please just say you forgive me"
"What" Khushi said confused "Uh..Yeah.I..I forgive you"
"Thank you! Thank you so much" he said immediately getting up and fleeing.
"That was..." Khushi said leaving her sentence incomplete.
"Awesome" Lavanya finished.
Khushi glared at her "What do you mean? Did you even look at him? He had bruises all over.He looked like a huge mess.I wonder how it happened though"
Lavanya shrugged "Not my problem" she grinned.
"Hmm" Khushi said wondering what could have actually happened.She opened her locker and a note came flying out.It was from her Masked Man just as she had expected "No one deserves to hurt a beautiful rose like you"
***************************************************
Khushi was walking home alone since Lavanya was out on her date.She knew her Masked Man would come and he did.
"Hey" called out Khushi's Masked Man.
Khushi smiled as her intuition came true and turned around "Hey" she said as he approached.
"How about a date at a nearby cafe?"
Khushi smiled "Sure" So the two went to nearby cafe and gave their orders when they were seated.Khushi smiled at him and then suddenly noticed a mark on the back of his hand.She frowned and leaned over to hold his hand in hers.She inspected it carefully.It looked slightly fresh.The Masked Man came to notice what she was looking at and immediately pulled away "What happened?" she asked.
"Nothing" he said a bit too quickly.
Khushi's frown deepened "How did this happen?"
The Masked Man looked at her "Um.It must have happened when I tripped and fell"
"Oh" Khushi said not really believing him "Speaking of tripping,some guy pushed me down the stairs yesterday but I was luckily saved and you know,today that same guy was on his knees begging for forgiveness this morning an-" Khushi froze and looked at him more carefully.He seemed a bit worried and wasn't looking at her.She gasped as realization hit her "Did...did you?"
He looked at Khushi slightly hesitant "Did what?"
"Did you hit him and make him beg for forgiveness from me?"
He hesitated once more and then decided to come out with it.He looked at her dead in the eye and said "Yes.I was the one who beat him and made him go down to your feet and beg for forgiveness"
Khushi widened her eyes "How could you? This is horrible violence"
"He started it" the Masked Man said in his defense "If he hadn't pushed you down those stairs,I wouldn't hav-"
"Still" Khushi insisted "It was wrong"
He held her hand "Then I guess you just don't know how possessive I can get over what's mine" Khushi gave a small blush and a shy smile.
