Hi everyone... Nice to see u all..

Thank you for ur votes and comments...

No proof read... Sorry for the mistakes..

Back to the story..

Prags: I love him...

Prags POV..

But to my utter surprise.. Rk suddenly hugged and said "thanks prags.. Congrats.." Saying this he left.. I said that i love abhi to only escape from him.. I don't know what to say when he asked why i chose to dance with abhi.. Because I'm damn sure if i said the truth to him.. I will die by abhi's arms.. So without thinking.. I said like that..

But I'm really surprised and shocked by Rk's act.. Why he said those words!!

Thanks prags.. Congrats..

The words continuously ringing in head.. I jerked and came out of my thoughts when madhu hugged me..

" Thanks prags.. He accepted to dance with me.. Love u lots yaar.. So what u said to him??" Madhu asked with excitement and curiosity..

" Nothing madhu.. I.. I... I just pleaded him to join u because that I'm not comfortable with him.. And He accepted.." I said.. She again hugged and saying thanks to me she went..

Then.. The practice again started.. We four went to the senior and changed our partner names..

Now time to face  hard time!! 

May the god bless you for going through this very difficult time of loss and despair!!

I prepared myself for the pain both physically and mentally which is going to caused by Mr.Bully.. The song started

SONG FROM THE TAMIL MOVIE 'VANAKKAM CHENNAI'

***Never Wanna See Us Fighting
Forget The Thunder N Lightening
I Hold You Till We See The Morning.. Light
Never Leave Your Side

Ezhu Kadal Thaandi Unakaaga Vandhene
Indha Nadhi Vandhu Kadal Seruthe
Vennilavai Vetti Mothirangal Seivene
Adhu Unai Sera Oli Veesuthe
Andha Vinmeengal Thaan.. Undhan Kan Meedhile
Vandhu Kudiyerave.. Konjam Edam Kekuthe
Indru Un Kaiyile.. Naan Oru Bommaiye
Oonjal Pol Maaruthe.. Adi Un Penmaiye

I came crossing the seven seas to come, reach you,
This River has flown down to join the Ocean.
I will carve the Moon, to make a Ring for you,
And as it reaches you, it exhumes a beautiful aura.
The Rainbows in the skies, on your eyes,
wants to take a place, and asks you for space.
In your hands, I am a toy now,
Like a Swing, your feminine beauty changes over.

Oh Penne Penne
Yen Kanne Kanne
Unmai Sonnaal Yenna
Unnai Thandhaal Yenna

Hey Girl, Oh Girl,
The Apple of my eye,
Why won’t you say the Truth?
Why won’t you give yourself to me?

Un Kaigal Korthu
Unnodu Poga
En Nenjam Than Yengudhe
Dhinam Uyir Vangudhe

To hold your hands with mine,
To walk with you by my side,
My heart yearns for this to happen,
as it takes my life away, everyday.

Un Tholil Saaindhu
Kan Moodi Vaazha
En Ullam Alaipayuthey
Ayyo Thadumaarudhe

To lay my head on your shoulders,
And live my life with eyes closed,
My heart flows like waves in the Ocean,
Oh, it staggers along the way...

       ******************

During the whole song.. He twirled me.. Pushed me.. Held me.. He tightened his grip in my whole body.. Intentionally he did everything.. Because its the first day.. Till now we didn't decide about the steps or even we didn't started anything for the dance.. But he did everything to make me embarrassed and miserable..

After our dance practice.. I'm totally exhausted.. When i about leave.. Abhi dragged me again..

God!! How can he came from no where that too everytime I'm alone !!

He clutched my hair.. And said "why the hell that Rk hugged u there?? R u really trying to seduce wealthy boys??"  That's it.. Words got strucked in my throat.. I can't even breath with his closeness..

"I.. I.. I don't.. Know..." I stammered.. "Don't act like innocent.. I know.. you are also one of those poor and cunning girls.. Always like a leech.. Sticking to wealthy people and sucking their money.."  He said looking me like a disgusting dirt..

" No.. I'm not..." I almost cried.. Tears flowing through my eyes like broken dam.. But he tightened his clutch in my hair... "Shut up.. Already I warned you many times.. But you are being you.. You didn't cared.. Now you are going to face the consequences for ur carelessness.. You are going to experience the hell while living.." Saying this he went pushing me to ground... I broke down into tears..

Then I went to temple after refreshing myself in my hostel by taking shower.. I prayed to god crying in front the ganesh statue.. One old lady came there with pooja plate.. Sat besides me..

She asked " Why are you crying beta??" I said " I have no one to rescue me.."

" From whom you have to rescue you??" She asked... "From.. From Mr.Bully" I said with panicked voice.. His words and his look keep on running in my mind..

Don't act like innocent.. I know.. you also were one of those poor and cunning girls.. Always like a leech.. Sticking to wealthy people and sucking their money..

Already I warned you many times.. But you are being you.. You didn't cared.. Now you are going to face the consequences for ur carelessness.. You are going to experience the hell while living..

I came out of thoughts when that granny shook me.. " Who is Mr.Bully??" She asked with concern..

"Nothing dadi ma... I'm fine.. And I'm already late for my job.. See u later.. Bye.. Take care" I said.. And about to leave.. She said "you are looking like a good girl.. I don't know about your current situation.. I think someone is bothering you.. But keep this in mind.. You know about you.. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone whom is not important to you... But if the person is important means.. Don't hesitate to go any extent to prove yourself.. The matter is not about the cursing words but about the person who said that... Understand??" She asked that last word making me to remember that cold fish..

I nodded at her and said " Thank you so much dadi ma.. I don't know why you said this.. And you don't know how much this meants to me.. I wish to see you again.. Bye.." Saying this.. I left from there..

her words soothes my broken heart little.. I went to my part time job as usual.. I desperately want to avoid Mr.bully.. I prepared my mind..

The next day...

As usual I went to my class in 1st hour.. Then 2nd hour, I and bulz went to singing club.. Madhu went to yoga club..

As we entered the singing club, purab came from no where and hugged me.. Bulz saw us with a annoyed face..

"Baby.. Which music u know??" He asked..

"Hmm.. Carnatic.. You??" I asked him.. He hifi with me and said "me too"

Then we all sat and audition started.. We all got selected.. The senior asked for names who prefers solo, couple, and group singing.. I gave my name in solo singing whereas puru and bulx gave their names in couple..

The senior gave us time to select songs and for practise for sometime.. After 1 and half hours.. They called all and told us to sing the song which we selected and practiced.. It is to finalize the songs and members.. If we can't sing song well means.. We have to change song or get rejected..

Many people sang.. Some of them selected.. Some of them asked to change the song.. And some got rejected..

Now bulz and puru going to sing the song.. During the practice.. They both have did a cold war through their eyes.. They didn't talk except for song lyrics.. They selected the song from movie 'Iruvar'.. It's a tamil movie.. Song name is 'narumugaiye'

        *****Song start *****
BOY: Narumugaye narumugaye
Nee oru naaligai nillaai
Sengani ooriya vaay thiranthu Nee oru thiru mozhi sollaai

BOY: O newly blooming flower bud, O newly blooming flower bud,
Stand here for an instant before me,
Opening your lips which drips honey
Disclose a word in your language

Attrai thingal annillavil
Netri tharala neer vadiya
Kotra poigal aadiyaval neeya

Under the full moon night
As water drips down from your form
Were you the one in the river?

GIRL: Thirumaganae thirumaganae
Nee oru naaligai paarai
Vennira puraviyil vanthavanae
Vel vizhi mozhigal kellaai

GIRL: O my groom, O my groom
Look for a moment at me
The one who came riding a white house
Listen to my arrow-like eyes words

Attrai thingal annillavil
Kotra poigai aadugaiyil
Otrai paarvay paarthavannum neeya

Under the full moon night
When I was swimming in the river
Were you the one who watched me?

BOY: Mangai maanvizhi ambukal en maarthulaithath enna
Paandi naadanai kanda
En manam passaley kondath enna

BOY: What was that arrows from your deer-eyes pierce my heart?
After seeing the Paandi king
Why did my heart begin to pale

Nillaavillai paartha varnam Kanaavilley thondrum innum

What I saw under the moonlight
Still haunts me in my dreams

GIRL: Illaithaen thudithaen porruka villai, Idaiyil megallai irrukavillai

GIRL: I became lean because my love was not with me

Yaayum yaayum yaaraagiyaro
Nenju naernthathaena

My family is not known to your family
Then how did our hearts beats joined..

BOY: Yaanum neeyum evvaliyaarithum
Ooravu saernthathenna?

BOY: I was not known to you How was this Bond developed?

GIRL: Orae oru theendal seiyya
Uyirkkodi pootthathenna

GIRL: You touched me only once
Then how it was my body bloomed

BOY: Semboolam saerntha neertthulipole
Ambudai nenjam kalanthathaena

BOY: Like the raindrop which joins with the soil
How our hearts were joined like this

            ***** END*****

They both sang and saw each other intensely.. I'm sure they have secrets.. I have to find it soon... They both selected...

Then next my performance.. But i feel like someone is watching me.. But I ignored and started my song.. That is from the movie 'jodha Akbar'.. Song name is 'mann mohana'.. I sang the song with closed eyes...

Darkness and darkness chasing near both eyes !!
Will you not be my companion?
Where both ways meet, both legs shake !!
Tell me my path ??
Devi's Nandalala !! What is the direction ??
Pirindavana Nandakumara !! Do you know the woman's request ??
Will you come back ?? Will you split like nails ??
Navaneetha Murali Manohara !! Do you understand the woman's mind ??or will u Ignore?
Will my tragedies be judged ??
Will my music be judged??

Kadalil thinamum
Valiyin melae alai adikka

Waves rise above the waves every day in the sea of ​​life ..
In that life my heart stumbles like a boat.
Would you paddle and join that boat?
Or would u leave me in the middle of the Sea ??
King Vasikara! My agony!

      ** song end**

After singing the song.. I opened my eyes.. Suddenly i saw the eyes which once mesmerized and once scared me.. That's that Mr.Bully.. But how can he??  I rubbed my eyes and again saw that place.. But no one is there!!

Oh god!! He is eating my brain!! Now I'm hallucinating!!

Then after that.. I decided to talk with bulz.. Because I want to know about what happened between puru and her.. So we went to college park.. Madhu also joined us... We sat in one of the benches..

"So bulz what's up?" I asked trying to initiate the conversation..

She saw me questioningly.. "Come on prags.. It doesn't suits you.. Shoot it.. What you want to ask??" She told me.. I smiled sheepishly

" I want to ask about.. About.. Purab.." I said.. She coughed spitting the water while drinking.. " What.. What about him??" She tried to act like not affected..

" Hmm... I want to know about him and you.. I mean did u two love each other before i joined here??" I asked openly.. She again coughed.. " Why r u asking this suddenly?? And who tell this kind of worst thing to you??" She asked..

"Because... Because.. I want to know.." I tried to come with suitable reason.. " That's only I'm asking why you want to know??" She asked..

"Because... Because.. I had a crush on him.." I said this without choice.. Madhu looked at me shocked and suspiciously..

I gestured her not to react with my eyes.. Understanding me she didn't react...

" What??... What r u talking prags??" Bulz said with shock and disappointment prominent in her face.. But she immediately changed her face into blank..

" Yeah bulz.. I doubt that you two have feeling by seeing u both staring each other session while singing.. That's why i ask this to solve my doubt.." Saying this casually.. I shrugged...

Her eyes widened like her orbs came out of the sockets.. But again she tried to be normal and said "no.. I don't have any feelings for him.. Actually we don't know each other.."

"Then y u shocked" I asked.. "Nothing prags.. I just think that he.. Uhm.. Who knows.. He may be engaged.." She shrugged..

Now my turn to widened my eyes.. "What rubbish bulz!! No.. If you don't like me having crush on him means.. Just tell me.. But please don't try these kind of worst tricks.." I said.. Suddenly bell rang.. Now I'm going to dance club.. Bulz and madhu both told that they have some work in library.. So after finishing their works they'll join me...

Who knows what going to happen to me today!! May god knows!!

I entered the dance club.. I saw abhi from a long distance.. He saw me with the corner of his eyes but averted his gaze.. I went near him to start the practice.. He didn't dare to see me.. I cleared my throat to seek attention from him.. But he walked from there to another couple standing a few feet away from us.. I followed him.. But to my surprise. He asked the girl to dance with him... That girl already shamelessly drooled him.. Now he is asking like stupid.. She happily accepted and danced with.. I saw them dancing.. They enjoying, romancing and intimately dancing.. Seeing them that much close.. I felt my heart ached.. I can't see them together.. Tears forming and blurred my vision.. I don't know the exact reason for this.. But i stand there like a dumb..

"Hi Ms.Beautiful.. If you don't mind.. May I have the luck to dance with you??" Asked by the boy who is the partner of the girl now dancing with abhi making me came out of my thoughts.. I nodded absentmindedly.. But before i could process what he told.. He pulled me towards him and started dancing with me.. Within 2 mins someone dragged me from him.. The next second I felt my cheeks burning..

Oh god!! Is I'm looking like a punching bag to everyone!!

Then opened my eyes to see the person.. That.. That's the girl who is the partner of him.. But she slapped me.. She is the one who danced with another man than her partner... Then why the hell she slapped me...

"Don't try your silly tricks to make my brother fall for you.. U penniless exploiter.. How can you try to seduce my brother?? Haan... This is what the poverty stricken orphans are.. U r using ur body and beauty to trap the rich boys.. Go away!! Go!!.." She shouted.. Almost every eyes on me now... I felt totally embarrassed.. I'm humiliated.. How I'm going to face them now..

I ran from there immediately.. I don't thought that they r siblings.. I ran and bumped into someone when I reach the playground... I saw who is that.. That is abhi..

Oh god!! He's going to apply salt and lemon in my wound with his accusations!!

"Take this"  He handed me a kerchief.. I looked at him with confusion.. He didn't look me.. He looked somewhere.. I slowly take that kerchief and wiped my tears.. But no use.. Tears never stopped flowing from my eyes...

" Here.." Again he handed me a water bottle without looking at me.. I take that and drank.. After that my eyes got blurred.. When I open my eyes.. I was sitting in a emergency first aid room in clg..

Purab, bulbul, Rk, and madhu.. Everyone is there.. But there is no abhi.. I searched for him.. But he is nowhere to found.. When they see me getting consciousness.. Bulz ran to me..

"What happened prags?? R u okay??" She asked with worried face...

"How am I here??" I asked with a weak voice.. "We take u here.. U r in unconscious state a few distance away from this emergency room in a bench.. What happened baby??" Purab asked me worriedly..

"I.. I.. I was in the playground.. I don't know what happened next.." I said...

"No way yaar.. Playground is far away from the place where we spot u.." Rk asked thinkingly..

"That's not problem now.. What doctor told??" Madhu asked.. "No probs yaar.. She is little depressed.. So she became unconscious.." Purab said.. Now he turned to me and asked "what happened?? Why r u depressed??"

Suddenly the incidents came to my mind and the words which told by that girl keeps on running in my mind...

Don't try your silly tricks to make my brother fall for you.. U penniless exploiter.. How can you try to seduce my brother?? Haan... This is what the poverty stricken orphans are.. U r using ur body and beauty to trap the rich boys.. Go away!! Go!!..

I cried in front of them.. Puru asked bulz and madhu "where are u two when she became unconscious??" They told their reasons that why they didn't joined me.. Then puru asked Rk "buddy.. U also in dance club na.. What the hell happened there??"

"I don't know yaar.. I didn't went there today as sultan told me that one of the senior wants to talk to me.. So i went there.." Rk told.. Purab looked me helpless..

I somehow managed to stop my crying and gave them a fake smile..

"Nothing serious.. Relax all.. I'm okay.." Saying this I saw my watch.. It shows..1.30..

Oh god!! I went outside on 11.20.. So,I'm here for almost more than 1 and half hour..

"Now we have music band practice na.. Come we'll go.." I tried to lighten the situation..

Without any choice.. They nodded and helped me to stand and came with me.. Bulz and madhu went to their respective clubs.. I , puru and rk walked.. Rk got a call and left us to attend the call.. After walked sometime.. Puru told that he need to meet principal regarding something about music band.. I told him to leave.. But he told that he'll accompany me to there and will go to princi later.. But he also got some call.. I think that's from another one in music band asking him to join that guy to princi room..  After cutting the call.. He saw me with helpless and worried face.. I smiled and told him to go.. He thanked me quickly and went..

Now I'm walking alone to music band club.. Suddenly 3 persons appeared in front me with a huge grin in their faces... My hands start shivering seeing them in front of me.. That's no one but that girl and boy standing with tanu.. They laughed at me evily...

"Come on dipali.. She is confused.. Tell her that don't even think of competing with me.." Saying this she laughed again..

"Leave her tanu.. She already got what she wants.." Said that girl whose name is dipali..

"Thanks sultan" Tanu said to that boy..

One min!! I heard this name somewhere!! Where!! 💡💡 yes!! Rk said that he went to meet the senior which is informed by him!! Sultan!! So everything is preplanned!!

"Hey destitute girl!! Don't even think to participate in culturals dance that too with Abhi!! How dare u?? U poor exploiter!! He'll never be ur side at any cost... Mind it" She told and laughed with the two of them and walked away...

So that's it!! They planned perfectly to humiliate me!! But her words..

that too with Abhi!! How dare u?? U poor exploiter!! He'll never be ur side at any cost... Mind it..

Is abhi too involved in this plan!! Or its coincidental!! But he hates me to the hell!! So it's no wonder that he too involved in this!! But why he behaved like he cared me!!

Really!! is it a care!! Or guilt!! He didn't even come to see u in emergency room!! So it's obvious he is in guilt!! That's why he behaved like that!!

Thousands of questions bombarded in my mind.. I don't know when i reach the music band.. I tried to ignore him and divert my mind.. He constantly watching my every moves.. But i didn't dare to look at him...

After a hour of practice... I and purab planned to go to cafeteria..
We went and sat with a coffee cup in a table...

"So purab.. I want to ask u something.." I started the conversation..

"Shoot it baby.." He said casually while sipping his coffee..

"I want know about bulbul and you.." I said.. He coughed spitting his coffee while drinking..

De ja vu!!!

"What r u talking baby?? What's there to ask about us??" He said hiding his nervousness..

"I know.. Something is going on between u two.. If that's ur personal means.. Ok.. I don't ask.." I said.. He looked at me worriedly..

"Baby.. That.. That.. We are engaged.." He said after a 2 good minutes of silence

"Oh that's it ah.. Wait.. What??" I said with utter confusion and shock..

TO BE CONTINUED..
