KIRATI'S POV

I woke up from my deep sleep. I slept a lot today after that tiring party yesterday. I started remembering what happened with me, how Mr. Saxena misbehaved with me and Dev sir saved me. Also, I remembered about our kiss. Suddenly, blush appeared in my cheeks without my knowledge. I like Dev sir, I mean who will not. He is so good in his work, educated, well mannered, respects women, treats everyone with equally without considering what position they are in, and yea not to forget he looks so handsome. But I am just an average looking girl. Why will he look at me but at the same why did he kiss me? I am sure he would have seen thousands of girls who looks like model, not to forget that our company is a cosmetic company. Yesterday, I saw something in his eyes which I could never read. That's it Kirati, now get ready for office. Stop thinking about all this nonsense. I said to myself and went to the door to collect milk packet and newspaper from the cloth bad which I kept near the door.

When I opened my apartment, I noticed that everyone is looking at my apartment as if they saw a ghost. I just took the bag and closed the door again. I opened the milk packet and kept it for boiling. Then I opened the newspaper. I was shaken would be an understatement when I saw the headlines.

"A GIRL TRAPPED MR. ADIDEV KHURANA IN HER LOVE TRAP", I reread the headlines again and again. Who clicked this picture? It was outside my apartment block when Dev sir dropped me yesterday. How can someone click the picture so perfectly from outside the car? Has someone was following us both all that while?

I noticed that milk has spilled all over and immediately turned off the gas stove. I don't know what to do? Is Dev sir also will be thinking the same that I am trapping him in this love? He would have definitely thought the same about me. How will I show my face to the people? Omg, what if this news reaches my parents. My dad will burn me alive for sure. I have become a big mess all of a sudden.

I heard someone knocking the door of my apartment. I wish Veena is here with me today. I opened the door and saw that the apartments secretary was standing with some people.

"Kirati, come down immediately", saying this he immediately left. He always speaks to me very sweetly. What happened to him today?

I went down and I was in the middle of my apartment where people are looking at me with disgust. My body started to shiver. I felt that I am left alone in the jungle as prey in the middle of hyenas.

"Here comes the slut of the colony", came the voice which I hated the most in my apartment. I turned towards the person who I loathe the most in this world.

"You don't have to give me character certificate Kirzy", I said to him gritting my teeth.

"Oh really, not only me the whole world is saying this now Miss Kirati Maheshwaran. Haven't you read the newspaper? You have trapped Mr. Adidev Khurana within two days of time. Wow, people should give you credit girl. If you don't mind you can even show me what you got, though I cannot pay you as much as Mr. Adidev I can give you handful", saying this he winked at me. I immediately slapped him hard that he fell on the ground.

"The next word you utter I swear you bastard that I will kill you with my bare hands", I shouted on top of my voice.

"Enough Kirati, he is saying right. I can't believe that you did something like this. I thought you are a nice decent girl but here... you are using our apartment as some beach or park", secretary uncle said.

"Oh really uncle, where were you when this good for nothing human being Kirzy brought so many girls here in this colony. The media came to this apartment when one girl gave complaint against him as he was blackmailing me her with their intimate images. That time all you people just stood numb. And today, a news in paper making you all believe that I am a worst person. ", I spoke with so much anger.

Kirzy immediately woke up from the ground. He held my hairs immediately.

"You bitch how dare you slap me", saying this he pushed me and my head got hit on the wall. It started bleeding.

"You motherfucker! How dare you raise hands on her", I turned towards that voice. There Dev sir was standing with blood red eyes which showed how much anger he is in.

He marched towards him and started beating him like a punching bag. It went for few minutes. If it continued like this, then he will kill him. I went and separated him from Kirzy. At the same time, Arjun Anna and Veena arrived there.

"Oh my dear, Kira you are bleeding. What happened?", Veena asked me.

"Ask this bloody rascal, he pushed her on the wall also I was watching everything. How dare you speak so bad about her? And you all people who are residing in the apartment, is this the way to treat a girl? A guy can do anything he wants and no one speaks up but when she raised her hands on him. Everyone started to question her. You all look well educated. Kindly throw your degrees in dustbin. It is of no use. Because the true education is all about treating people with some empathy and respect. Here, I am seeing nothing as such. Mr. Secretary, if it was your daughter in Kirati's place, what you would have done? Will you treat her the same way as you are treating her now? Will you let a bastard like him to question her in front of everybody? He was abusing her infront of everyone. And here you are standing numb like a mannequin. Wow! What a society we are living in! Kudos to all of you. You, Mr. Secretary what are you doing for living?", Dev threw all his words of arrows and asked secretary.

"He is a member of reputed political party also is in a very good position there.", Veena said before he could answer.

"I feel so pity for that party. Little did they know that the members of the party are treating women like some shit", Dev sir again shouted.

"You Mr. Whatsoever, get this on your mind, next time if I see you abusing any other girl, trust me that day will be the last day in your life. I have a licensed revolver with me. I think breaking law for once is not a bad thing if it is going to kill a parasite like you", Dev sir pulled Kirzy's collar and warned him.

"Don't waste your energy Dev. He is such a manipulative person. These people only believe the lies what he is saying not the truth what is infront of their eyes. Even if god comes and say that he is fraud, still these people will say that he is a saint. People have lost their sixth sense which is rational thinking. We can't take class for them and also we don't have time for that.", Veena said and started doing first aid to my injured head.

"To those people, you all want to know what is the relation between me and Kirati right? So, here it is, she is my fiancé. I won't tolerate a single word against her. I think now, I made it very clear to everyone. And you Mister, just start counting your days, I will make your life a living hell", Dev said point towards Kirzy.

"You can't do anything to me. I am the son of MP.", he still said with so much pride.

"You can be even the prime minister I damn care. First, lets see whether your dad has that post tomorrow", saying this he pulled me to my apartment. We all four went inside the apartment. Arjun Anna already called the doctor. He came and gave some pain killers. After doctor left, all three looked at me with so much concern.

"Who is he?", Dev asked me.

"He is Kiran Arora, the son of this constituent MP. He once misbehaved with Veena and I kicked him where sun doesn't shine. From that day, he is trying to pull me down", I whispered.

"He tried to molest you Veena. You never said this to me", Arjun Anna asked her.

"I don't want to trouble you Arjun. Moreover, he is really manipulative. He speaks to everyone sweetly and acts as if he is a gem. But his real face is known too very few. Just think even after a girl filed a complaint against him, he was able to persuade everyone in the colony that he is not at fault. And it was the girl who wanted to get intimate with him just because of his money", Veena said.

"I am going make him rot in jail, trust me", Arjun Anna said.

"I am sorry", I whispered.

"Why are you saying sorry?", Veena asked him.

"For everything. Just because of me, all of your pride has become low. I swear Dev, I didn't trap you in anything. I didn't even know how these pictures got leaked", I started blabbering.

"Kiru, chill I know you didn't do anything.", saying this he held my hand tightly. It gave me hope that everything will be alright.

My phone started ringing all of a sudden. Veena was standing next to it. She took the phone and was shocked to see the caller id.

"Kira, it is your dad", she said nervously.

Now, even god cannot save me...
