- Pia's POV -
I lifted my head up and saw this green eyes looking at me so evil that it freaked me out so much. I thought it was my friend, playing some trick with me as this evil guy knows my name. But I was wrong. Impossible! Its middle of the night right now. Nobody will have the free time playing some trick at me like that. I wanted to run but this guy seized my shoulder that I groaned in pain.
"Ouch! Let me go! " I kept struggling.
"Shout and I'll rape you right here. " He smiled and pushed me against the wall.
"Who are you? What are you trying to do? " I wanted to shout at him but ended up whispering to him.
"Me? Remember j? " He smirked.
"You! " I wanted to yelled but he closed my mouth.
"Like I said, shout and I'll rape you. " He smirked again. I got so mad and without thinking, I hit him.
"Ya right! As if you can! " I stuck out my tongue and hit his you-know.. The place where you should hit for you own safety or for when you got attacked by some unknown guy. He groaned in greatly pain. I looked at him as he lied on the floor, still groaning.
"Come and catch me if you have the guts! You can't even stand up, idiot! " I scolded and trampled over him. " Don't you mess up with me.
" He groaned. I turned my head and ran out the alley. It was so dark that there's no one on the roadside. My heart was beating extremely fast as I was freaked out by that guy. I couldn't believe I actually have the guts to hit him. I wanted to escape but I saw he already stood up and wanted to chase after me. I was so scare and tears streamed down my cheek.
"Help me! " I whispered. " HELP ME! " And then I yelled without hesitation.
"Nobody will save you. This place is very dark now, everyone's asleep. Why don't you just come back to me? " That j laughed as he chased after me.
"NO! Help me! Someone! " I accidentally tripped and fell on the ground. The next thing I knew was he was on top of me and smiling like some perverted old man.
"Don't you dare to touch me! " I huffed with full hatred. " Get off me, filthy brute! " I kept struggling but he was so damn strong. The only thing I could do was hitting him. I hit him on his stomach. He hunched over and grunted. But I could see his face turned red the moment I punched him. ' Bitch ' was what he said before planting his palm on my face. I groaned in pain as my face was bleeding. He tore my jacket and also my t-shirt.
"Please! Don't! Don't do this to me! " I cried out and tears kept streaming down my cheek.
"This is what you deserve it! I love you so much but you didn't even bother to look at me! " He continued tearing my shirt.
"DON'T!!!! " My shirt was torn and the only thing that was covering my body was my singlet. But before he could do anything, someone hit his head and he fell off the ground beside me unconsciously. I got so disgusted by his existence, I quickly pushed his body away from me and covered my face.
"Did he do anything to you?! " A familiar voice said and grabbed my shoulder tightly. I removed my hands from my face and saw it was abhay. I jumped into his embrace without hesitation and sobbed.
"pia, am i... " He stopped. " Late? Am I late? " He repeated. I shook my head. He sighed in relief. But tears continued to slide down my face and soaked his shirt.
"Don't cry, pia. Everything's fine now. " abhay tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and patted my head gently. His another free hand gently stroked my back, lying on his muscular lean chest sent my heart racing like never before. He lifted me up and walked to his car.
"I'll send you back. " He said gently.
"No, I don't wanna go back. With my shirts like this, my step-mother will bash me up like there's no tomorrow. " I replied in shivers.
"Alright alright. Then overnight at my house for tonight. Let's go home, pia. " He patted my head gently and closed the door. I don't even want to re-flashed what had happened back then. All I want to do right now was to have a deep sleep. I fell asleep in abhay's car while he was driving without realization. And the next moment, I felt my foot wasn't on the ground. Someone's carrying me.
- abhay's POV -
She was so afraid and was shocked that she can't even speak a word now. I was so worried. She fell asleep eventually in my car. I looked at her sleeping peacefully. Didn't want to wake her up, I lifted her up and went in the house. Even though she's in a deep sleep now, I could still feel her shivering. The incident must have scared her too much. I lifted her to my room and laid her down on my bed. After taking a hot shower, I went to check on pia. She was still sleeping peacefully like before. As I look at her, I could feel something.
Something's telling me to protect her in every way I can. Something's telling me to take her away from here. Something's telling me to make her happy. Something's telling me to make her mine no matter what and never let go. What is this feelings? Why do I have such feelings? Why did I wanted this girl so much? Why did my desire burnt so much for her? There's more than 100 questions in my mind but the only thing I was very sure right now is I love her and I'm gonna protect her no matter what. I kissed her forehead lightly, tried my best not to wake her up and slept beside her. Thank God that I've saved her.
- pia's POV -
I woke up and rubbed my eyes. For a moment, I saw a figure in front of me and the next moment, I saw abhay's sleeping face in front of me. I was taken aback, wondering why the hell is he on my bed. And that was when I realized I wasn't sleeping on my own bed. I was
sleeping at someone's bed. It must be abhay's bed, I thought. I realized why was I on his bed, last night's incident was... unforgettable IN A BAD WAY OF COURSE! Even if I wanted to erase that memory in my mind, I still can't. Its gonna haunt me every night no matter what. As I thought back about last night, it gave me a shiver, tears started to skid down my cheek and a piercing pain of loss sucking the life away from me. My heart was shattered the moment I recalled the night where I was almost raped by that guy. I closed my eyes, not wanting to recall the night and I felt there was a hand on my face, wiping every single tears I had on my cheek. I opened my eyes and was stared by a pair of blue yet sorrowful pair of eyes which confused me.
"pia, nothing's gonna happen to you anymore. I'm gonna protect you. Don't worry. I won't let the incident like last night happen anymore.
" abhay whispered to my ear and hugged me. I clearly remembered the heat was scorching brightly through the window and into abhay's room. But I did not bother much and sleep dearly in his wide and secure arms which makes me think that will last me forever.
- abhay's POV -
I woke up, wanting to see pia but she was nowhere to be found. I was panicked and so, I ran downstairs and saw a figure at the kitchen.
"pia? " I asked while walking into the kitchen.
"Yes? " She turned around and grinned.
"Hey, you woke up. I'm sorry I used your kitchen without your permission but I wanted to thank you for last night. Thanks a lot. " She smiled brightly. Please, pia. Don't smile like that. It will make me yearn for you more. It will make me want you more. You make me want to keep your smiles all by myself.
"Uhh.. Welcome. " I brushed my fingers through my hair, trying to avoid any eye-contact with her.
"By the way, why were you there last night? People seldom pass by that area. " pia, who was facing behind me cooking, asked curiously.
Speaking of that, I was indeed a stalker back then. I was worried about pia since the day she left the party without any information. I was worried as she said she's not feeling well. I hired a spy and wanted to make sure she's alright. But that night, I got a call from him and was informed that she was in danger. I left every work on my desk and ran to the place and saw this crazy guy were tearing her shirts and slapping her. I got so mad I wanted to hit him to death but I didn't want to scare pia that's why I just hit him to faint and leave everything to the cops.
"Well... " I stammered and hesitated. "Well, I just happened to pass by." I grinned, sitting on my dining table ready for breakfast.
"Are you sure? People don't often go to the place though. " pia asked suspiciously and set the table for both of us.
"Well, but I did. " I grinned. " Anyway, what are you making? It smells nice." I peeped at the food she's preparing and wanted to change topic as well.
"It's an America-Breakfast. "She placed the food on my table and sat on the other side. " Try it. I made it myself. " She grinned and stared at me, hoping that I would say its delicious. As I entered the food into my mouth, I showed her a what-the-hell-is-this? face.
"What happened? Not nice? Too salty? Damn it! I add too much salt in it. " She placed her palm on her forehead.
"I was just kidding!" I blurted out and burst into laughter's. "Its delicious. "
"Hey! What's so funny! You scare me! I thought it was really yucky. " pia said in a tone of frustration.
"Alright alright. I was just joking. I saw you were hoping me to say delicious and that's why I fooled you. Anyway, it tasted really good.
Where do you learn this from? " I asked her, can't stop myself from eating.
"Well, my dad owned a diner and I learned this recipe from my dad. This is my secret recipe as this is my father only recipe that has been
with me these few years after he passed away. " Her eyes were filled with sorrowness so sudden.
"And why did you tried this recipe on me? "
"Because I want to thank you for saving my life. Although my life isn't precious to anyone, but still.. Thanks for saving me from the perverted guy. " She grinned though I can still see sadness in her eyes. I placed my cutlery down. I walked towards her and knelt down.
"pia, your life is so much precious than anyone to me. Your life is important to me." I said while placing her hand in between mine.
"OH! I'm gonna be late for school. I'll be going then. " She looked at her watch, didn't want me to see her blushing face. She stood up and went to grabbed her bags.
"pia, wait! " I stopped her in time when her hand was about to open the door. She turned around and I was shocked to see her tears welling at the rim of her eyes.
"Pia, What happened? " I looked at her with confusion.
"Stop making me confuse. You're a billionaire, there's many girls out there waiting for you to love them. So don't say something that'll sway my feelings. I just want to concentrate on my studies now! " She cried out, wanted to escape but I grabbed her tightly.
"Pia? What... " But I was interrupted by her.
"You're just a player that happened to step in my life but I totally fall head over heels for you. Why do you have to say such things that will make me confuse? " She cried and placed her hands on her face to covered it.
"Pia... " I was totally speechless. The last thing I could do was hold her tightly in my arms and never let go.
- Pia's POV -
Why do he have to say such things? It makes me so confuse and I don't want that.
"Let go of me! " I cried out and hit his chest lightly.
"Pia. Listen to me... "
"Just let me go already. " I wanted to escape from his embrace and ran away but he hugged me even tighter than before.
"I tried. I tried, Pia." Abhay said and I stopped struggling in his embrace. "I tried so hard not to fall for you. But after the party, my mind was full of your images. You kept emerged in my mind. I can't control myself. " abhay yelled just to calmed me down. " I was so happy when you told me you fall for me. But when you told me I was a player that stepped into your life, it hurts me greatly. pia, just so you know. I've never fell for a girl so deeply like I did for you now. So give me a chance and let me prove my love to you. Although we've just know each other for few days, but it seemed like I've known you for centuries. Please. Let me take care of you. " I cried in his arms that afternoon.
abhay took me to school with his car as he was very worried about my safety. He told me that the cops couldn't catch the perverted man and my safety is very important right now. He hired a few bodyguards to make sure my safety. The news eventually spread to the whole school.
"Wow! Your boyfriend's a billionaire! I envy you so much! " One of classmates exclaimed. All she could do was just grinning at another.
"abhay actually told the principle everything? " misha asked with excitement.
"Yes. " I rolled my eyes while sipping my juice.
"Wow! You really got yourself a perfect boyfriend this time. "
"I told you, he's not my boyfriend. "
Speaking of that, I haven't accept him yet. That afternoon, he told me he would wait for my answer. And no matter what the answer will
be, he'll respect my decision. I love him, I truly love him. But I can't be with him. He's too important to me and he's a wealthy guy. I'm just a poor girl and I don't suit him. I really don't.
"Why didn't you accept him? " misha asked with frustration.
"I can't. I just can't. He's too perfect. He deserves more than he should. He should go for a better girl instead of me. I'm nothing at all. " I grinned.
"Pia, wake up! You're everything to him, you know that. You can't only think of your own feelings. How about his feelings? Have you ever wondered what he wanted and needed the most? Probably your love, Pia. He loves you for who you are. Who cares you're poor or a girl who had no parents? He never bother about all this. He just want you for who you are because that's what his heart told him. " misha consoled.
"How do you know this much? " I asked with curiosity.
"No guys will protect you when you're in danger if they don't love you, pia. I know guys more than you do. And don't say you do, because you don't. " misha added.
"Alright alright. I will sort this out with him as soon as possible. "
"Promise me you're not gonna break his heart. He, don't deserve it, Pia. " misha begged.
"Alright, mish. I won't. Moreover, I love him too so why should I reject him? " misha's the one who gave me courage and made me accept abhay. For now, I'm gonna concentrate on my studies and love abhay dearly, I thought.
After the bell had rung, I walked to locker with misha to grab my stuff. After misha went home, I was still grabbing my books into my bag and that was when a paper fell off the ground. I realized my thoughts of loving abhay dearly was wrong, totally wrong. I still couldn't love abhay after all. I might pull him into some unwanted dangers again.
