FF: Dare dangerous loving; Part 2, pg 2

Introduction;

When Pratigya Saxena meets the enticing Krishna Diego Cullen, her life sets series of extraordinary events and the fears her fragile heart held regarding him turn into reality with the blink of the eye.

'His presence is the shadow of terror however the further distance I create between us correspondingly I find myself taking steps closer towards him but why?'

She bites her bottom lip uncertainly.

This answer leaves me breathless.

Pratigya:

Why does my life have to be difficult? My dreams, wishes and hopes are not given hardly any importance. Decisions are made for me too. When I try to fight this injustice, my mother always passes the same old statment; 'Prattu my baby, you're still too young' and then the villain, Mr Bhel twisting mummy's word around but repeating the same story 'How old are you? Just 17 my dear, you're far too young to take your own decisions. Far too young to experience the real world' It's bad enough he has stolen my mother and changed her completely into a stranger for me; he actually thinks he can make decisions about my life. I wouldn't have hated this man if he didn't try to separate my parent's intentionally but he did and I won't ever forgive him for this.

I ran my fingers through my hair infuriately.

--Dinner table.

Silence! Silence is the warning before the big storm. I squeezed my stomach, feeling an unusual flip occur. I open my mouth to say something but mum quick sentence cut my word back into my mouth.

I gaze at my mother in disbelief. This couldn't be happening... I must be dreaming? Engaged? I am going to get engaged! The thought is similar to saying pigs could fly and the Peter Pan is real!

'ENGAGED', I exclaimed.

Mr. Bhel and my mother were taken back from my outburst and they should. Where did they get the ridiculous idea that I will agree to get engaged at this age. This is too much.

Mr. Bhel: Darling, calm down. You should be happy.

I glared at him.

'Shut up old fart' I muttered under my breath.

Mr. Bhel: Pardon me, did you say something.

'I don't want to get engaged' I stressed on my ever word.

Naina: But why? You're not getting married baby. It's just an engagement and Prattu the boy is perfect and comes from a very good family. In fact, he is Raj's friend's son, Angad'

'Mum, you keep saying I'm too young to make my own decisions and you're trying to put me into a big commitment already? This is really outrageous.

Naina: Prattu my child, meet the boy once and you know I only---

I hastily disrupt before my mother started to emotionally blackmail me into agreeing to this dim-witted thought 'No need, because I'm not going to get engaged to anyone at this age'

I get up to leave when I hear Mr. Bhel give me a shout.

Mr. Bhel: You're making a mistake Pratigya.

I smirk at his idiotically confident attitude.

'I'm actually correcting yours sir'.

--Midnight, Bedroom.

I couldn't sleep, I cried, listened to music and even watched a film but I couldn't sleep. I pulled my soft pink quilt over my head as the thought of the engagement kept creeping inside my mind. Sadly and fractiously I kept moving and rolling on my bed.

'Oh god' I get up annoyed and then walk over to my table and grab my laptop. I lean against the wall and sat my weight on the floor. The first thing I did bored out of my mind at 2 in the morning; I check my mail. I had a message from Komal.

'Pratzie' she wrote...

Adarsh is really annoying the hell out of me. His constant flirting with every girl is too much to handle. You know I really like him, everyone knows but that boy is completely blind to notice. Yesterday on facebook he joined a group that says' he likes girls who have the guts to tell the boy she likes him' then I joined a group that said 'I like a boy who has the intelligence of taking the hints and realizing a girl likes him' he comments saying 'who's the boy Komal' Why did I have to like a brainless human! Shoot me now!

Enough of me and my complains. How are you Pratzie? Are you happy?

I miss you a lot, love you!

Komal.

I click on the button reply and began to write.

"Kommie" I started off.

Aw.

You know how Adarsh is, a little bit slow! But seriously you two need to see the reality mirror, your basically already in a relationship, I mean nothing has been declared but it's really obvious. You two have always been together since 1^st grade. Adarsh troubles you but his day is never complete without you and vice versa.

It's 2 am here and I feel awful Komal. I feel suffocated. The old fart has already made plans to make my life miserable. Today at the dinner table my mum tells me I will be getting engaged to some Angad person, who is Mr. Bhel's friend's son. What in the world was she thinking? I clearly said no. Oh god. I'm going mental. I want to go back home, back to London, back to my dad.

I miss you too, love you!

Pratigya.

---3 Hours later

I look up at the clock and sigh.

'5 am and Im still awake'

I was losing my patience towards my sleep. Having no chance in receiving it after many hours I decide to head outside for a walk.

---Outside

I walked and walked and walked. It's what 5:30 am or something and I'm walking in the light fog down my path in my monkey print pajamas. I must be losing my sense. I look ahead and hear voices. Someone was shouting a name. I even hear the bike engine. I started to sense anonymous panics over coming me. I was anxious. I could feel goosebumps race across my arms. I looked around at random scanning the area. Oh Jesus, I mouthed. There was a negative sigh of any living thing. Was I thinking too much or did I actually hear voices.

Maybe I should go back. I tell myself.

KRISHNA! KRISHNA!

Krishna. I entrance.

I look around again but found nothing. I feared. I couldn't figure out where the voice was coming from. I did a quick 90 degree turn and began to run. I could hear the bike engine become louder. The cold wind sliced my body with its icy touch. I started to slow down. I hear the name again and glance up and froze on my spot. My whole body turned numb from shock. A bike was zooming towards me. I stayed still with my mouth open. Why can't I move? The heavy wind blows past me and face gets covered by my hair leaving my eyes revealed to visualize my death.

Oh my! I'm going to die so young. I softly whisper inside my mind seeing the bike just few inches apart from me.

I blink seeing the bike stop so close to me and my body shakes a bit.

'STUPID GIRL! STOP BLOCKING THE ROAD!'

Someone shouts.

And the bike storms past me; his nudge getting me back to my sense completely and automatically my mouths closes. I turn around and captured the writing on the jacket of the biker before he disappeared in the deep fog ahead that suddenly covered the area.

'Krishna' I say

I turn around and see two jeeps heading my way with bunch of people calling his name. I quickly move back and block myself behind a wall before they caught my sight. I waited for them to leave and dashed my way back home.

'Idiot' I muttered purposely elbowing her and speeded away. ________________________________________________________
