:::Update 22:::Scandalous:::
It was dark outside and Pia was still reliving that nightmare. She'd blocked it all out but talking about it brought everything back. She'd felt the air supply run low as she'd escaped the station and her father. She knew she had shocked him but having the energy to listen to him feeling guilty about not being there wasn't what she needed. Jeh bumped into Pia hearing her sob and run at the same time but it only made Pia more agitated by what he'd tried to do to her this very night in her room. Pia felt like she was being suffocated by the people in her life.
Jeh held Pia trying to hush her but it only made her seee red-Pia! Its only me Pia.
Pia pushed Jeh away from her-Stay the hell away from me Jeh! U are all the same. U are all animals. Men are disgusting. That freak. U. The cops.
Jeh was a little hurt-Pia! What's going on? U are free to go. The case is solved. Nobody will ever hurt U Pia.
Pia screamed at Jeh-He's already hurt me Jeh! (Points to her head) He is inside here! I can still see what he did to me. How he groped me. His hands digging into my skin like butter. (She had to get away from Jeh!) Just don't follow me or i'll regret the next thing that comes out of my mouth. I am not ready to see U yet. Not after what U tried to do tonight?
Jeh muttered-I was drunk. I'm so...
Pia was already gone. She knew where she had to go to find solace. It was the only place she could find peace. The only being who could give her what no human could give her. LOVE! UNDERSTANDING! COURAGE! SUPPORT! Her beloved ABHAY.
Abhay had already sensed Pia was in dealing through a terrible ordeal. Pia was only ever pacified with him there to take away her nightmare. T was going to pay for doing this to Pia. He'd have been there sooner but he was detained by the police for being sent here on a regular basis. They had records of him being here from the previous year with the Maya case and now with being present at Rana's murder it was another case he was let go of. Jeh had apparently stated that he'd beaten the gut to a pulp but Rana was still alive. Abhay was let off with a warning. Chand looked disappointed in him for allowing his feelings to take over.
Abhay found Pia looking worse for wear taking her into his arms calming her down. He kissed her forehead and gently patted her back then kissed her closed eye's still sobbing. Abhay felt Pia's body relax against his. He had a cooling effect on her and then kissed her cheeks.
Abhay whispered into Pia's ear-I am here for U Pia. I will always be here for U.
Pia looked into Abhay's eyes holding him with a tight grip-Oh Abhay! This night just got worse. I am so...
Abhay hushed Pia's lips with his finger-Pia i know exactly how U are feeling. The video must have shocked U but know this Pia; It doesn't make your ordeal any easier but U can't bottle this up. Talk to your sister about it or to me if U want. I can be your best friend too Pia.
Pia laughed-You've never had a best friend Abhay.
He got her to smile-U haven't seen the real Abhay then. I had friends everywhere at my old College. I can go back there if U want me to then i'll be surrounded by friends again.
Pia hushed Abhay-Don't ever leave me Abhay. No more friends for U. I'm all the friend you'll ever need Abhay. Thank U.
Abhay smiled close to Pia's ear-What for?
Pia responded softly-For being my Abhay.
Abhay caressed Pia's chek-I'll always be your Abhay, Pia. Never doubt that. We'd better get U home. Your father is very worried. Do U want to talk about what happened. I'll try to listen without tearing anything hopefully.
Pia was in no rush to leave Abhay's embrace-I'm ok now Abhay. He's really gone!
Abhay nods-Yes. He'll never hurt U ever again Pia. I'll make sure nobody ever touches U like that. I just wished i could have killed...I know Pia but its how i feel.
Pia kissed Abhay's lips to fill her mind with only him. He was always there anyway but she needed to taste him again. Feel his cool mouth against hers. It was the only comfort she'd had since no she wasn't going to let this night be ruined anymore.
Pia saw Abhay had his eyes closed and blushed-Abhay i know how U feel. Just don't ever stay away from me again.
Abhay took Pia in his arms to her place tucking her in bed taking her sandals off of her. Pia held Abhay's hand.
Abhay smirked-U want me to stay until U fall asleep.
Pia smiled-U know me so well.
Abhay lay with Pia stroking her hair soothing her like a baby until she went into her dream land and then vanished out of the window as soon as he heard Pia's Father enter her room also sighing in relief. He went back out again not to disturb her to meet the rest of the family downstairs where Panchi, Misha and Madhoo were waiting.
Arnab let the good news out-She's in her room asleep.
Madhoo frowned in conern-Pia wasn't there a moment ago Arnab. Misha and I checked.
Arnab puzzled-Her window was open. Strange. It doesn't matter. So long as she is safe. My little baby is having to hide all this upheavel in her life just so we wouldn't be worried but this is big Madhoo.
Madhoo looked at Panchi and Misha's face then back at Arnab shaking her head-Why us Arnab? Why? This is a big scandal in itself. Pia hiding this makes it look even more suspicious and with Panchi's fianc dead it looks even worse. We'll be known as the jinxed family. Its one thing after another.
Arnab raised his voice slamming Madhoo-U say what U have to but Pia is innocent in this. Madhoo she is a girl. What girl goes out advertising her nightmares about huh? Who does she have to talk to? Misha and Panchi even us we were all wrapped up in this wedding to even notice Pia.
Misha admitted-Pia has been a little distant the past day or so. She seem's lost.
Panchi's swollen red eyes spoke of discern for her baby sister-We have to all be there for her. No more pity. I am done with crying over my fate.
Misha smiled-Whatever happens for the best Panchi. U had a lucky escape from Neel. U did say he was a womaniser and that U wanted to break off the engagement. God did it for U.
Madhoo sternly gave Misha her look of disapproval-Neel is dead. We don't speak ill of the dead.
Abhay returned back home where Chand was waiting for him looking rather grim like the reaper pacing away at his super speed accelerator took an overkill whiz directed at Abhay. Haseena was in her arm chair looking energized full of life staring at Abhay with facination. She could smell Pia all over him. Human scent filled her nostrils but she kept it in check.
Chand glowered at Abhay threatening him-What game are U playing Abhay? U say U are finished with Pia but then U go to rescue her at every turn. Then hide this fact from us putting our clan in danger by your attack on a werewolf might i add is a commendable job and the Superiors are delighted with your progress. Then U go flirting with the she-devil itself and back to Pia again. What sick game is this Abhay?
Haseena was gleaming basking in her new found powers. She wasn't a weak vampire any more but how was she supposed to know Neel was a human. It wasn't until she bit him had she found out the gravity of it all-So Alina is Deepanita's daughter huh? She wants to set U up with her daughter. I say go for it Abhay and then we can finish them all off.
Abhay frowned-U can't be serious. For starters U don't know what they are?
Haseena eyes Abhay with intent-And U do? What are they Abhay?
Abhay mused-U already know?
Chand hissed in his usual condemning manner-While U were busy elsewhere with your so called human love interest we did some dogging and found the Khurana's aren't human. U should have known Jeh was a werewolf the moment he touched U Abhay. I knew from his scent on U last night. When did U find out?
Abhay smoothly answered-Tonight.
Haseena laughs-Now we know who they are we can get them back. They don't know that we know the truth Abhay. Play along with their mind games. Should be fun.
Abhay wasn't feeling it but his parents were already planning everything out in anticipation. They wanted to be on guard in case they had a surprise attack. Haseena had already finished one member even if he turned out to be a human they'd get their own back on the vampires. Haseena was certain of it.
Next Morning
Arnab had a family meeting where everyone was asked to sit down and have a family discussion but Pia was not going to let the last two days drain her. Pia would be there for her mourning sister but if they wanted to discuss her little episode then they could forget it. Pia had her pinks scarf wrapped round her neck to hide her own little love story. She had no plans on allowing anyone know about Abhay. If he said it wasn't safe then it wasn't safe.
Arnab stopped Pia from leaving the house-Pia beta please sit down.
Pia was in a rush-I have to get to College Papa. This is not needed. I am fine. I had a little relapse last night i don't want to talk about it to anyone ok. Its my choice.
Panchi to Pia from her seat being too depressed to move-Pia this is a major issue U can't...
Pia mused-I have my own guidance councillor. So chill. He's sorted . I mean i have sorted it out with him.
Misha was baffled by who this could be-Jeh!
Pia rolled her eyes-Shoot! Speaking of Jeh i need to apologize to him.
Misha to Pia running after her-Wait up i'll go with U on my bike.
Pia groaned internally. She wanted some alone time with Abhay-Fine. Bye everyone. Dad i am really fine ok. Your daughter isn't as fragile as i look. I'm not the old Pia.
Arnab arched his brows-What?
Pia bit her lip-The naive one that T pokes fun of. She's always comparing me to my old self. I don't even remember my old self. Good thing i gotta bounce.
Pia was flashed by lights. There were photographers snapping pictures of Pia with Misha. She was almost blinded by the lights. Arnab had to get out of his home to make sure his daughters safely arrived at College. Misha was complaining about the paparazzi but Pia wasn't listening. She just wanted to go see Abhay. Even if they couldn't be together just seeing him from afar was enough to last the whole session in College. She felt bad that he had to leave his old life for her but at the same time excited. It meant more time together.
Arnab let the girls out-Now make sure if anyone bothers U i am the first to know. I'll have my people against them. Its an intrusion of privacy.
Misha smirls-Will do Dad.
Arnab finishes-Make sure U look after Pia on second thought's i can't trust anyone with U Misha.
Misha placed her hands on her hips-Dad! (Seeing him drive off)
At college it was another issue there were reporters everywhere. Abhay was already present standing alone leaning against the wall looking extra hot in his black shirt. He wanted to reach out to Pia and hurl all the reporters away from her. The gossip mill went through the roof with most of the students on a social network sote posting news on Dobrial's party and Pia's attack. T was the main instigator as usual. This was the scandal of the whole Month he thought. No wonder T was lapping it up.
Jeh came to Pia's rscue holding her by the waist making Abhay burn insdie but Pia could only give Abhay the look of yearning and helplessness.
Abhay Meanwhile dealt with the intruders in College grabbing them by their shirts and physically pushing them out of Colleg. There were four of them.
Abhay pointed at them-If i see U anywhere near Pia or her family or the Khurana's for that matter i will sue the whole lot of U. She is a minor for god sake. Don't U people have any real news to report on than scandal? U can't prey on innocent people. Its not right.
T was impressed by Abhay's usual heroic detours. He was always protecting Pia and defending her. Now with Kabir being her ex she needed someone to raise her status again and Abhay was hated by most of their College but also feared for by his mysterious nature. He would be her boyfriend for sure.
Pia and Jeh entered the haven of their classroom. Pia was aware of all eyes on her. It made her feel intimidated and small almost wishing she could hide behind Abhay. Pia was never going to let anyone win. She'd show them it didn't bother her. It was water off a ducks back.
Tracker blurted without thinking-U must feel like a celebrity now Pia? U have everyone interested in U. About what happened.
Misha elbowed Tracker-Can U at least think before U speak. U need a permanent lock on your mouth dumbo.
Tracker apologized.
Pia to Jeh-I'm sorry for behaving so irrationally. I am over it now. I'm sorry for what i said. I didn't mean it. I was just rambling and lashing out. I know what U did was wretched but U were under the influence of alcohol but if U ever try it with me like that again i will never talk to U ever. Jeh U are my best friend i don't want to lose U. I can't believe i was so insensitive. U lost a brother and i...
Jeh gave Pia a hug-Shhh! I understand Pia. I do so don't beat yourself up about it. I apologize for U know being drunk and misbehaving.
Alina makes her grand entry and Jeh curses-Damn!
Abhay continues to stare at the girl not understanding why she gave him an eerie feeling.
Jeh groaned-Pia U aren't the only scandal about to hit College. Meet my sister. She wanted to come here so she can keep busy. She's a little depressed about Neels death. We all are.
