He has started avoiding her like plague....never tries to cross her path...never tries to torture her..let alone torture he hasn't even dared looking at her since that night..

She is relieved and confused at the same time....as it's something really fishy about his behaviour .....she had expected him to act upon his instincts ....she tried to be a bait quite a lot of times ..but he never showed any interest making her restless..

His mind travelling back and forth in time...his thoughts contained mostly of her. 
Her deep sad eyes....her beautiful face ..her slender frame......her pale skin...those ruffled  dark hair making her look like a sly innocent kitten....she doesn't know what to do with them or how to handle them as they keep hovering her face making her gleamy eyes almost hide underneath those frills...
He was memorising every details of her ....while Ritu was busy sucking and kissing his chest. ...

She pushes him on bed aiming for his pants....fisting the toy in her hands. ..

But he groans ...next moment he pulls her by her hair .. closer to his face ...he takes a look at her face ..that pale skin...those dark eyes....fuck....he has started fantasizing her again ...he pushes Ritu back and gets up hurriedly ....

"Baby what's wrong"she calls after him...

"You should go now...."he starts dressing up....

"But. .. what's wrong ..we were having fun. Weren't we. "She gets flustered. .
"Listen please step out of the room right now ..."he dismissed her curtly...

"Don't try to seduce me with these cheap tricks again .."he points at her askew saree...."I am not interested ."making her go black and blue with anger....

"I ll get to you captain shikhawat.. I ll surely get back to you"she fumes before getting out and he is left shocked at himself ....what is wrong with him...why has he become such a freaking loser...

He has to do something to get her out of his mind . She has corrupted him like a virus...

******

Every one was busy dancing at the after party ...half drunk. ..half dizzy..at the fresher's ball party ...

Aalekh out with Neelu...Ali and Pooja quarrelling and romancing turn wise ..while Huda was flirting with God now's who.....

His date already passed out and drunk Dr Shalini..
But his gaze constant at her being dragged out by cadet kamran. ......trying to protest .but his grip too strong...
Whole scene perfectly insinuated in the background and everybody too drunk to notice...

He calls cadet ud..
"Cadet drop captain Shalini to her room will you .."he requests him..

"Sure sir .....but aap kiske peeche ja rahe ho..."he asks looking at Dr Ritu head back bored of major nairs company ..

",Kuch zaroori kaam hai ."he replies half attentive..

He walks through the corridors searching for her widely....
Finally finds her with cadet kamran in a drunk stupor....he was busy groping her with hand on her mouth  ,kissing her while she was trying to protest....or make noise...
Kamran kissing her forcefully ..she is too frail and dizzy to push him back ..
His eyes blood shot at kamran...

He pulls him back ...and furiously eyes her...
"Sir...wo ....."cadet kamran completely flabbergasted ...
He doesn't say anything...just punches him hard on his face......making him land on ground then looks at her trembling.....hair messed and ruffled. ..lipstick ruined. .lips swollen ...tears dried on her face.  
Her dress half torn....
He is so furious...comes closer to clutch her tightly looking in her eyes..digging nails in her flesh as if demanding an answer...
She looks up at his intense blazing eyes...and her eyes moisten...
For a moment she gives it all away..her vulnerability..her helplessness ..her scarrred existence.
He softens...takes his coat to cover her properly.....
.

He takes her hand and drags her through the corridors ..unable to decide where to take her. What to do with her....he has never felt so protective about anyone in his life before ..
.while she follows him like a lost kitten....
They reach infront of her room in the girls hostel ..
"Mere pas chabi nahi nai ."she replies softly...
He for a moment runs hand in his hair in frustration. ..

And again drags her with him...
"Chup chap Chalo mere sath ."he warns as she stops in Midway...

They reach his room ..
He doesn't bother to switch on the lights....drags her to the couch making her sit....

She sits with a blank expression..like a  kid waiting to be instructed what to do. ..

He watches her sitting on the chair on the opposite side...through the drakness in the room..feeling her unblinking large eyes stuck on him ..

She feels him get up and go inside the bedroom....
Returning with a first aid box. .he sits next to her....
She keeps looking at him...under dim yellow lights of his room...applying ointment on her bruised lips.....tracing them.....

She feels him trace her eyes ...her nose...her lips quietly with his thumb...
His fingers rubbing on her cheek....his dark eyes glued on her face...as if trying to explore her ..

She leans to his touch....
He keeps the first aid box back in the room.....and sits down on the floor in front of her....as she  leans on the sofa ready to doze off. ..
She is dazed and calm.....slowly her eyes start to get heavy as tears drip drop by drop from them ...no words spoken  ....as he keeps ruffling her hair watching her softly till her eyes close under the burden of an intoxicating sleep....

Her head spinning as she finds herself covered in a blanket .....his heavy eyelashes flutter as the morning rays filter through the curtain making her screw his face in irritation. ..
She gently frees his fingers entwined in hers.....observing his face....so close to hers...he is sleeping on the floor by the side of her couch....

Smoothing her fingers through his hair. ...with an expression of half amusement ...she gets up to leave quietly before he wakes up......
