25. AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES

Music recommendations : joganiya by Shruti Hassan.

" Bye ahaan ! See you tonight ! " I bid goodbye to him as he sat in his car. The boys are out on their photoshoot and ahaan is going home for the day, regarding some documents and all. Teachers are in city to attend a meeting regarding the fall which means I am all alone today. I am somewhere stuck between nervous and scared.

" Call me if anything happens, okay ?" Ahaan said and I nodded. His engine roared and he disappeared in less than two minutes. I looked at sky which was starting to turn pitch black. It's going to rain. Taking some blank pages from the office, I went inside the green block. I sat on the floor of the practice room and started to do my work.

" Shit ! I forgot to take the list of new performances." I cursed underneath my breath, standing up from the floor. I took my phone off of the sofa and again walked to office. I was about to reach when my phone rang. The screen read ' annoyance ' and I slightly smiled.

" Roy !! " His voice, panicking and eager. Will there be a day when he will call me by my first name ?

" Hmm." I hummed calmely.

" Where did I put my white shirt ?" He asked. I pursed my lips.

" how would I know that, nishit !" I said in an obvious tone. He clicked his tounge in annoyance.

" Roy ! Tell me, na ! You know everything. " He asked, his voice extremely irritated.

" It's in inner compartment of the second chain in your bag." I answered, sighing. Not sure how do I know this. Maybe I notice almost everything about him.

" Stay on call. " He said and started to search.

" Aarushi !" Someone called me and I turned. It was a girl but unfamiliar to me. I saw her in some dance practice but I don't know her personally. I nodded my head and she moved closer to me.

" Who is it ?" Nishit asked his voice suddenly alert.

" Don't know. Some girl. Did you find it ?" I asked.

" I can't find my damn bag !!" He answered, throwing something in frustration.

" Nishit ! For god's sake, it's in dhavit's car. All bags are in dhavit's car. " I said, equally frustrated. He made an ' ohh ' sound.

" Hi ! Choreographer is calling you in the basement parking." The girl told me.

" Basement parking ?" Nishit and I exclaimed together. " I don't think so any practices are going on there." I said hesitatingly.

" Roy ! Don't go anywhere alone !" Nishit warned me but I didn't answer him. " Found it !!" He exclaimed and I cut the call.

" come on ! It's urgent, aarushi. Someone got injured badly. " She said, now a little panicked and I ignored my inner feeling. She walked me to the basement parking, no.5. the last one.

When I reached there, neither choreographer nor any injured person was there. There was a crowd of seniors and some bully girls.

" Where is the injured one ?" I asked, fear clear in my voice and my feets trembled from fear.

" Don't worry ! There will be one soon. " A senior girl said, smirking. A group of girls and some boys came closer to me and I tried to step backwards but before I could notice, I was In middle of the circle. Like a lamb gets stuck in a flock of angry wolfs. I opened my phone and tried to call nishit. He picked.

" Nish--" before I could say anything, they grabbed it and cut the call. He called back but they switched it off.

" too bad, bitch. Today, there is noone to SAVE YOU !!" she yelled the last words coming closer to my face and my breathing turned heavy. a sharp backhanded slap spinned my mind, my lip bleeding almost immediately .

Why the hell is her phone switched off ? Something is off. Definitely. I went to my manager.

" I am leaving." I said and everyone

surprisingly looked at me.

" It's not done yet. You can't leave." He said and I closed my eyes in frustration. I don't have time for this.

" Schedule it for another day."

" It's important !" He half yelled.

" I DONT CARE. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HER RIGHT NOW IS MORE FUCKING IMPORTANT TO ME NOT THIS STUPID SHOOT. GET IT ?!" I yelled and dhavit walked to me.

" Nishit, what's wrong ?" He asked to me and I told him. He nodded and I walked out of there. Two guards stopped my way. I aggressively sighed and they stepped aside.

I rushed to the university and I knew something is definitely wrong. She never switches her phone off and she cut the call in middle. I loosened my tie and opened the first two buttons of my white shirt as it felt too stuffy.

I tried to run but two boys grabbed my arm and pushed me backwards. My head hit the metal pole and blood trickled down from it. My glasses were on floor, broken. There was blood, bruises and injuries on my body and I felt extremely dizzy.

" Let me g--goo !! Please !! I beg you !!" I begged them but they laughed. Their laughs crucially crawling into my skin.

" You know whose master plan was this ? " They asked me, brutally making me look up, holding my hair. " Here comes our queen !" She stepped aside and I looked at the person. It was noone other than mahika.

" Hii my dear friend !" She came closer to me and I cried.

" Why ?? Mahi ??" I cried but she ducked her face and laughed. Suddenly her laugh vanished and she viciously looked at me.

" because YOU. FORGOT. YOUR. LIMITS." She came closer with each word and I looked down. " Raj ! Why don't you show her her limits." My head jerked up when a tall and shitty boy moved closer to me with his disgusting smirk.

" NO NO NO !!! NO PLEASE !! " I screamed my lungs out but all they did was laugh. " ARE YOU GUYS HUMAN ?" I cried. He came closer to me. " NISHIT !!! " i screamed. I closed my eyes as tears flowed from my eyes.

I ran to her dorm then to practice room. University was empty. Basement parking ! It striked my mind and I rushed but which one ? On my way there I heard some girls bickering.

" The girl is being bullied in basement no.5 !"

" Really ? Serves her right !" My doubt became clear and I ran as fast as I could. But basement parking is nowhere close to being small. When I entered, there was complete silence. I ran here and there and my whole world stopped when a shrill scream entered my ears.

" NISHIT !!!" It was her. She is crying for help. God knows what had happened. I started following the voice and my blood boiled when I saw the scene.

There was a loud thud and noisy gasps of crowd entered my ears. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that boy was pinned to the wall, his body was in air. Nishit's hand was on his neck, brutally choking the life out of him. I never saw him this angry.

My blood boiled as I held his neck. I clenched my jaw while I crushed his neck, remembering how close he was to her when she was crying, begging for help.

" Nishit " I looked behind me. She was struggling even in standing. I looked at her state, blood from here and there, bruises and scars all over and all of a sudden choking this numbhead was not important to me, holding her was. I immediately rushed to her and wrapped my arms around Her.

She looked at me for a second and then bursted in tears. She grasped my shirt and cried harder. I glared at the girl whom she referred as her friend. She moved to me and handed me her broken glasses. I made roy sit on a chair and moved to the girl. She trembled in fear.

" I am sor--" before she could say anything. My hand collided with her face and she almost fell. Fuck my principles ! It didn't matter to me if she is a girl. To me right now she is just a bloddy person who hurt my girl. She looked at me and tried to hit me but I slapped her again.

She fell on ground and I moved to roy. I put her glasses in my pocket. I carried her and left from there. People looked down as I carried her.
