CHAPTER 4

DICING WITH DEATH

Lavanya Kashyap entered the classroom, Pam and Simmi closely followed at her heels. Pam and Simmi were nowhere close to Lavanya, both in terms of status and beauty. One thing that could be clearly made out from both of them was that they didn't want to buy a cow when they could get milk for free.

Lavanya's father, being one of the top richest people in town, made sure that she was never deprived of money or friends, or so-called friends. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; all her things branded, from perfumes to handbags. Her wishes were fulfilled, even before she uttered them out loudly. Maybe that's the reason she was so full of herself.

Khushi could not help but loath her as she turned towards the door and faced her. She was walking towards them in her high heels and Gucci bag. She had learnt long back to keep her way out of Lavanya Kashyap, but she really wanted to help Arnav stay out of trouble. She felt he was too vulnerable to the outside world.

"He is getting up Lavanya. You don't have to be rude."

"It's La," Lavanya corrected her, "And why are you protecting him so much. Is he your boyfriend?"

Khushi turned a deep shade of pink, but nonetheless ignored her and helped Arnav gather his things. What she didn't realize was that it was Arnav she was helping, so something was bound to go wrong. Nothing worked as planned when you were with him.

While getting up from the chair, Arnav's swift hand movement, made the pencil box lying on the table flying on the floor, all its contents seemed all over the floor. Khushi sighed in disbelief before collecting everything and handing it over. Finally she managed to move Arnav before more students started to enter.

Two weeks had passed since the start of university and the third years were already loaded with five assignments, two of which had to be submitted next week. Khushi was trying her best to cope up with university and her job as a library assistant together. She yawned loudly, before squinting her eyes in concentration over Professor Clark's assignment. She was multi-tasking as she simultaneously tried to enter the details of the issued books into the computer. From the first day of university, Khushi has been working part time on on-campus jobs to earn herself some money. Although she was now studying on hundred percent scholarship, she needed these extra bucks to pay her house rent. She also lectures to the first years in the morning. It became hectic at times, but then she had managed to balance work and study together for the past two years, always emerging as an outstanding student each year.

It was one of these nights that Khushi had been working late at the library, that Mrs. Crawford, the librarian, had asked her to get slips signed from the head office. The main head office was located in the Main Crush Wing, which meant she had to cross the whole courtyard to get over there. The university was designed in shape of circle, with a courtyard in between, and half of it hemisphere surrounded by forest. The forest was not exactly thick but consisted of huge barren trees after every two meter. In the middle of the forest lay a very beautiful site, a pond which had bridge crossover. Anjali and Khushi always went there in between breaks to get some fresh air. It was the most peaceful place in the whole university and not many people knew about it. They both had stumbled across it, when once they were have a stroll in the forest.

Khushi was really tired by now so she decided to take a short cut, which went from in between the buildings. It was almost 8:00 pm now, and the whole campus was empty, except for some classrooms. They were occupied by the Master students, who had taken evening classes. Khushi had just reached the beginning of the opening separating the the main head office and the building she had just exited. She just lingered there for a moment and a shiver ran down her spine as cold winds hit her face. She wrapped her hands tighter around herself and realized that an eerie stillness surrounded the forest area. Maybe it was just a fiction of her imagination.

She waved away the allusion from her mind, and continued walking towards the main entrance, but not before her eyes fell upon two tall figures standing deep inside the forest, deep enough that Khushi could just make their outline and the long shadows which were spread on the forest floor. Their voices started to increase in pitch. She assumed that they were arguing about something. As she started to walk towards them, she started to recognize one of the voices, but it was too dark for her to know who it was. They seemed to be oblivious to her approach

She heard the ruffle of shoes with the fallen leaves on the ground, as one of them moved towards the other, his hands raised high in air.

Khushi did not see the hands which had turned into fist to hit, to hit the other guy because before that strong smell of chemicals engulfed her and the next moment she had blacked out.

After several long minutes Khushi woke up to a continuous pricking sensation on her skin. She realized that she was wet by now due to the heavy downpour of rain. She collected herself together, both mentally and physically, and replayed the recent events in her mind. She was trembling slightly, more out fear than the cold winds that had made her body numb. What did just happen? She felt something fishy. Khushi quickly walked under the shade to prevent herself from getting wet further. She glanced one last time towards the woods, before starting walking towards the library, water dripping on the porcelain floors, while she passed the empty halls. A clock hanging there told her that it was time for the university gates to get closed. Her mind still a little fuzzy, she increased her pace. She had to inform someone about it, otherwise she would burst.

Khushi took out her mobile from her pant pockets, but it had already stopped working, as water has entered its interiors. She reached the library building. The library doors were already closed. She was drained out of all energy by now, but she had to run to catch the university bus to reach home, or it would be impossible to walk in this deadly weather.

On reaching home, Khushi knocked on Ms. Mathews' door, who looked concerned at her disheveled attire. Khushi over rode her before she could ask any questions and asked her if you could make a call. She informed her that everything was fine and tried to keep her voice as calm as possible, but although the old women did not dwell on further facts, she could tell that something was seriously wrong.

Khushi called Anjali and informed her that her cell phone was not working anymore, though not giving out the original details of its destruction as she didn't want to worry her at this time of the night and asked her to pick her up in the morning.

She left Ms. Mathews room and went towards her quarters, apologizing to her for the late disturbance she had caused.

That night Khushi lay on bed her eyes wide open, but her body extremely exhausted and her mind gripped with fear. The continuous sound of the raindrops with the windows, were just adding to it.

On the other hand someone else was also getting restless in bed, tossing sides from time to time, in one of the hostel rooms of the university. Several thoughts were clouding his mind. He wanted to know if she had reached home safely. He had never planned to put a human life in danger to get his work done. That had never been his intentions. He got up from bed and reached out towards the window, staring into a night, which had started in his favor but was ending terribly. His eyes transfixed onto the street outside, where visibility was zero. He wasn't expecting a rain, when he had knocked her out, cold.

He knew he wouldn't be able sleep peacefully unless he found about her whereabouts, so he finally decided to check on her. He took hold of his mobile from the study table and searched her number, which they had had exchanged last week to ease communication. When he finally found her number, he sent out the following message.

Hi! I hope so you are doing fine. I just wanted to inform you that I have completed the work that you had assigned to me for professor Ritchie's project. I will discuss it with you tomorrow.

He didn't want to call her, making it feel suspicious.

He waited for a reply, every second becoming a moment of misery, but none came. Instead his screen beeped showing him that message could not be delivered. He tried several times more, but was still found staring at the same response and he knew something was wrong.

After fifteen minutes he reached the same spot, he had left her. His face well hidden behind the cap of a long raincoat as he had climbed the university walls, as he became aware that her limp body was no longer present there.

Finally I bring everyone the awaited update.
