OS: Priyanka's revenge!

Priyanka and her companions were scheming, as usual. This time they had come up with a plan to completely destroy Nisha.

Nisha was bonding well it Viraj. She would often stay behind after office hours to help Viraj prepare for his funding presentation. They would share details about their lives, crack jokes and even enjoy a few midnight snacks. They began to realise that they have a lot in common. More importantly they began to enjoy each other's company. They were awfully comfortable with each other but not comfortable enough to share intimate details of their past.

The day had arrived. It was time for Priyanka and her buddies to implement their well thought out evil plan.

"Miss Nisha can you set up the field for today's practice? I'll be on the ground in a while. Remember to tell the girls to get ready" said Viraj.

"Yes sir!" said Nisha with a big grin on her face as she rushed out of Viraj's cabin. Viraj smiled and thought to himself, "she's amazing" within an instant he realised that he was seeing Nisha in a different way and he quickly distracted himself.

Nisha prepared all the equipment on the field and had called the girls however Viraj reached the grounds before the girls. "Miss Nisha, where are the girls?! It's 4.01. I had being late, as you know!" he said with a frown.

"Sir, I did call them. They must be in the changing rooms. I'll get them!" she said before running towards the building. As she walked towards the room she had messaged her mother that she will be staying at the office today as she has a project to prepare for. "Priyanka where are you? Ekta?". She walked into the girls changing room and before she could say anything she was pushed from behind. She laid flat on her face. She turned around to see Priyanka and her friends laughing at her. But they didn't stop there, the two girls held onto Nisha and Priyanka crouched down. "Awwh no one is here to save you Miss Nisha. I told you not to mess with us" she said and she grabbed hold off Nisha's uniform and ripped the academy's logo off her polo shirt and pushed her.

"Come on girls! Let's go!" said Priyanka.

"Priz, we've come up with a great plan. Thank God nobody comes down here!" giggled Ekta.

Nisha was left frozen. She had flash backs of that day. That moment. She didn't realise that the girls had switched the mains off, took her phone and locked the doors. Nisha looked down at her torn polo shirt. She burst into tears. She went hysterical. She pulled her hair and screamed. Nobody heard her. For almost an hour she cried and screamed. She could not bring herself to get up. She crawled towards the door and grabbed hold of the handle. She pulled the doors but they were locked. She began to panic. She searched for lights. She tried to switch them on but Priyanka had switched off the mains. Nisha searched for her phone but that took was taken by the terrible trio. She crawled to the corner of the room and took a foetus like position, crying.

In the meantime, Priyanka had fed Viraj some lies about Nisha about how she went off with Sourav. Viraj knew Nisha. She wouldn't leave him in the middle of practice but more importantly she was supposed to stay behind today but still he continued with the session. It was 9pm. The girls were long gone. Viraj wondered about Nisha as he walked back from the field. He tried to call her. Her phone was ringing but she wasn't receiving his call. He tried again. As he walked past the changing room he heard a phone ring. He noticed that Nisha's phone was by the table next to the door. He looked at the phone and he looked at the door. Without thinking he called out, "Nisha?". Nobody replied but he heard faint sobs coming from the room. He began to panic and went onto open the door but he realised that it was locked. He took out a set of keys from his pocket and hurriedly looked for the right key. He finally managed to open the door, he turned towards the light switch but he realised that they were switched on but still the room was dark. "Damn it the bulbs must be fused".

He heard another faint sob. "Hello?" he said as he turned the torch on his mobile phone on. He looked around the corner and saw Nisha! He ran towards her, dropping his phone on the floor. "Nishaaa! What happened?!" he said worryingly. Nisha sat up, Viraj was about to touch her but she moved away, winching. "Nisha, it's me Viraj!" again he approached her. "Don't touch me!" she shouted.

Viraj freaked out. He was worried that someone might have assaulted her. He saw her torn top. His worst fears were confirmed. He quickly took his jacket off and covered Nisha without touching her. "Nisha, it's me. Has anyon.." before he could continue Nisha said "No.. Priy" but she stopped mid sentence. Viraj was confused, "Priyanka did this to you?!" he said in disbelief. "Wait, let me call her right now!"

"No, don't! "begged Nisha. Viraj looked at her. "Nisha what happened, please tell me!". Without thinking twice Nisha began to tell him about her past. How she was nearly raped by those boys. How she feels insecure whenever someone gets close to her. How she can never move on. How her memories are torturing her. How she feels comfortable around him. Without thinking twice Viraj hugged Nisha.

Nisha froze in his arms. Finally she had found peace. "You are a strong woman Nisha and you have been through so much. And I'll never let anything happen to you. I will always be there for you. You have no idea what you mean to me" he said sobbing. "And don't worry about Priyanka, I'll deal with her tomorrow" he muttered.

After many years Nisha was finally comfortable around another man. May be she was moving on from her treacherous past but she had failed to realise this earlier on. She and Viraj had spent an hour or two embracing one another only to be disturbed by Viraj's phone.
