Shivaay fumbled, cursed himself for the slip of his tongue and continued in a rash tone"It was for the guy. you know, anyhow you are save that's all you should be glad for now"

"But how all this happen? how you found me and where?"

"I was a block away from where you two where, I realized that something was fishy going on over there so I went there to see and realized it was you"

"What happened to Samar? I don't remember anything"

"you don't?" he shrugged, "I asked him to go and he went away"

"Really?"

"Yes, besdies I don't like repeating my words, I just want them to be obliged once I speak" his pride was somthing she really wanted to crash down into dirt but she let it go "And yes inform me about that person who drugged you if you come to know about it soon"

"What is that with you?" I asked stupidfied, "I don't think it's any of your concern"

"Yes it is, you won't understand"

I stayed silent for a few minutes, my mind recollecting something, "What was the reson that you told Omkarathat he is ignoring me like  a deadly plague?"

"Wait, we are not going there again"

"No, I need an explaination, there must be a reason that you two brother are doing this to me, have I done something wrong?" she asked unable to hide the pleading in her voice.

"See let me clear all this" taking a step towards her he started with an ever icing tone, "don't ever come near omkara from now onwards, don't even breath in the same air as him, don't you come here ever from now onwards, beside,  if I'll see you even waving at him or uttering a Hi, I will not leave you, and it's my final warning, STAY. AWAY. FROM. HIM"

"Did you get it, Annika?" Shivaay asked a stilled annika who was trying hard to breath.

Annika as in cue, wanted to argue but left the thought that it can be dangerous at this very moment and just nodded like a zombie.

"Good, and now you will never cross our ways" Shivaay replied as he turned on his heels and started walking.

'Wait" she called out as he stopped, turned and gave her a curiously look, "yes?"

"You asked me to be away from your brother then why you saved me that day, I can't understand, I'm nothing to you right? but then why?"

Shivaay looked perplexed, his mouth in a perfect O, after a few second he closed his mouth and opened his mouth to say something but closed it again, "Do you think I will leave you like this?"

Annika just nodded confidently, while Shivaay laughed, she looked at him with a petrified look.

"Have I scared you?" he asked in between his laugh.

"Yes" her voice was accusatory while her eyes throw daggers at him.

"I will never leave a girl who is being assaulted, Annika. I'm not a monster" and with that he turned and dissapeared into his car leaving her there alone in her own thoughts.

"Why can't we just go to a multiplex to see this movie rather then coming here in the open?" Annika asked with her hands crossed over her chest, one brow lifting up in mock as they stood on the gate of the huge open cinema. Bhavya just grinned and shrugged her shoulder.

"See, you were feeling really low, so I thought to lighten up your mood" she said as she side hugged annika while she sigh and smiled sadly. Yeah she was really upset with all the thing which happened with her all this week, and most importantly she wasn't able to remember who was the person who drugged her.

Just little flashback come to her mind who never really make any sense making her pull her hair in distress. Maybe loosing herself today may help her to be a little calm, beside Bhavya had especially bought her here so that she could be happy.

Now smilling a little wider both the friends moved towards their seat, rather a small bed on which you can lay down and enjoy the movie. Bhavya jumped over the soft matress which had a sky blue color bedsheet, while annika lay beside her as the movie was going to start in a few minutes.

"Hey do you want some popcorn?" Bhavya prompt, as she sat up straight, "wait I'm going to bring some"

"No bhavya, you stay here, I will bring the popcorn and beside you don't wanna miss your favourite actor's entry, do you?" Annika chuckled as she nodded her head negatively, smiling dreamily with excitement.

"Hey" she called out, "Bring me two caramel popcorns" Annika shook her head at her crazy friend  love for caramel popcorns.

Annika moved towards the  food parlour, where people where standing in two queue,  Standing in the back of one of them she checked her mobile, soon the line adjacent to her moved ahead and she looked up from her mobile screen as a familiar voice entered her ear drums, there stood Samar talking to someone on the mobile.

"Hey!" Annika said while stealing the attention of the person being called but soon she gasped as she saw his left eye black and pale while there was a scar on the lower end of his chin, he was limping a little too, it felt like someone had badly beaten him "What happen to you Samar?" She asked while Samar ended the call and looked at her in shock but soon fumbled, "oh nothing it's just an accident"

"But," she stopped as she thought that maybe he's right "when did you came?" She asked, "yesterday" was the answer as they moved a step ahead together.

They remained silent when something strike annika's mind and some flashbacks entered her system.

Flashback.

It was the  party a which was organised in Bhavya's house, because today her parents were out leaving her and her brother alone so they tried to get most of this freedom and both of them threw this party where they called all their friends.

It was the last thing which they both agreed upon because they were going to keep this as a secret.

"Annika!" Bhavya called out as soon as she saw her entering the house, the loud music was making it difficult for them to hear each other. Annika looked around in search of her friend when she saw her waving at her from the bar counter,shaking her head she crossed the dance floor where everyone was dancing like anything while some were making out in different corner of the room.

"Woohoo, who's that sexy girl" annika cried out while bhavya laughed out loud, "can I ask the same question to you?" Annika just grinned as they bumped their bottles of beer and bhavya drank it but Annika kept it aside instead took some juice, "today I'm not gonna drink much because I need to go home fast as tomorrow is my important meeting" annika said while bhavya just nodded.

"Hey Annika" Sid, bhavya's brother came and gave her a tight hug while she reciprocated it with same force, "I think my luck can be in my side because we both are single" he grinned while annika chuckled as she hit him on his shoulder while bhavya winked at her brother.

"I don't think your luck is by your side Young Man!" She stick out her tongue as both the sister brother duo laughed.

"Hey Sid" Someone called from behind and a person appeared there. "Oh Hi, Buddy" Sid said and hugged him.

"Annika bhavya meet Samar, my collegue and samar this is Bhavya my sister and Annika" the three of them smiled and shook hands with each other and then they got busy with each other.

After having some shots both the girls were on the dance floor with others and danced like crazy, they just didn't care for anything, when annika thought of going to the washroom. Leaving bhavya there on the dance floor she moved towards bhavya room and opened the door to see a couple making out.

"argh! Sorry people, carry on, I'm going" she slammed the door behind and gave a defeated sigh, she knew that almost all the washroom are filled with all this, so she moved upstairs as she knew that no one dare to go to bhavya's parents room, opening the door to the room she saw it empty and sighed.

As she was going to open the washroom door, someone opened it from the other side and without looking she said a sorry and was going out when Samar's voice stopped her "you can use it Annika" he said with a smile while annika just nodded "I thought that... anyways thank you" saying so she entered the washroom.

After a few minutes when she came out she saw him still there, "huh! If you wanna use it, you can" she said while Samar just stood up, "oh no, I mean I was waiting for you only" he gave a sweet smile, "anyhow, wanna have a drink?"

"I'm sorry but I'm not drinking much today" she tried to reason, 'Oh gosh nothing will happen with one glass, have it" he urged her to drink while after a few minutes she grabbed the cup of beer and gulped it down, it was tasting different, something wierd while he smirked.

After a few minutes she started behaving like an insane, maybe the beer which he gave her started taking a great toll on her senses. Her head was throbbing like anything, so she was continuosly wanted to go home.

Bhavya was already drunk that she was not in her senses beside there had to be someone who will take care of her so sid was left who thought to drop her home but when Daksh proposed that he will drop her, they let him take her to her house as  he said that he know about her house and it is in the way to his home.

Bhavya hugged Annika tight and she went with Samar never getting a hint that this ride is going to be the most dreadful ride for her.

She was sitting on the passenger seat looking outside the long, dusty road, trying to     comprehend silently where she was going. She was feeling like they were on a roller coaster ride.

She winched as she realized something swaying down her bare arm, it flet like she was been scandalized, the mery touch made her feel distraut and unwanted, even if she wasn't in her senses but the kind of touch that she was experiencing now was way much far then the one's she had felt when Omkara was with her. She moved towards the left trying her best to stay from that creepy thing but instead of getting rid of it, the hands started to sway towards her tights.

She pushed his hand away, "What you doing Samar?" she slurred as she kept moving but never the less she was trapped by the door.

After a few mintes of non disturbance, the car stopped and she was taken out by Samar, she thought that they have reached but soon she felt a sudden push and was smashed on the wall hardly while someone tried to kiss her...

Flashback Ends.

Annika felt disgusted by the mery thought of it, she was not a girl who will stay silent or will be afraid of anything, her life had been so hard that now even a single soul didn't scare her just the irony is that it the four closed doors of her house, she felt scared of dark. The mery thought of it made her shiver in no minutes as she felt goosebumps rising on their own.

The yelping of other people standing behind her made her come out of her thoughts, she looked blankly ahead of her to see it had moved along way while in an istant loooking beside her she saw him standing a few meters away from him. Bile rose in her throat at the mery sight of him now.

She moved forward, trembling while her eyes spit fire, grabbing the side of his arm she dragegd him towards the side, where they were invisible to the surroundings. The alomost silent environment was suddenly filled by a thud sound as Annika slapped him hard, "How dare you" her gaze was accusotary, she grabbed his collar, pushing him back and forth, "How could you? You son of a bitch" she spatted while Samar held his cheeks, his blood boiling in extreme rage.

Grabbing her wrist he dragged it behind her back pushing her towards his torso, she tried to be away from him as more as she can, "How dare you?" he whispered angrily, but she didn't flinch beside she pulled her hand from his hold with all the strenght she had and moved away as much as she could.

"Don't touch me with your filthy hand you bastard" she warned him while ponting her finger at him, "you assaulted me"

"No, have you lost your mind? beside I was taking you home but out of no where your boyfriend came and bitten me this badly" he instantly replied.

"No more lies, I know you were the one" She said confidenttly, her instinct could never be wrong  beside she got to know that Shivaay was the one who did this state of him, well she was glad that this happened to him, he need to be punished for his deed but this was not enough for her though.

"So you got to know about everything? huh" there was a wicked smirk on his face making her level of anger notching to more heights.

"I will not spare you Samar, remember this" she breath, while he started taking steps towards her just the way a predator does, "What you'll do? Go to the police? Okay, Go let's see who will accept the statement of a girl who was not in her sense at that time" he gave a victoriously smile shrugging his shoulder casually, as he moved around her in circles.

She felt the back of her eyes stink as she knew she can't do anything, he being the rich spoiled brat will get over this easily. "Yes I drugged you" He was still moving around her as she felt the words hitting her right at her heart, "You tried to rape me"

She saw him still, his expression which was notorious a few seconds before was turned horrified, white as chalk.
