Chapter 8

A man was sleeping on the bed, where the injured girl was supposed to be sleeping. Dev was startled to not see her.

Dev thought that the hospital had cheated him by transferring the girl to another ward while getting the payment for this ward. Dev shouted for the Doctor, which woke up the patient. Dev didn't care about it at all.

The same doctor who treated the injured girl heard Dev's shout, he angrily proceeded toward Dev's direction to reprimand him.

The anger changed to fawning in just a matter of seconds when the doctor found out it was Dev who shouted.

"What happened, Sir?" Asked the doctor fawningly.

Dev didn't care about the expression of the doctor, he glared at the doctor, and asked angrily, "Where is the girl I brought for the treatment? How dare you switch her from this ward?"

The doctor had cold sweat all over his body by seeing Dev's glare, he answered in a shaky voice, "You're misunderstanding, Sir. She woke up, a few hours after you left. Her parents took her back just after she regained consciousness. We tried to stop them, but her parents were bigshot too, and she didn't have any life-threatening injury, so we had to let her go."

The anger changed into disappointment, he hoped for something to happen between them, but he neither got a thank you call nor could he meet her anymore.

Dev thought of using a Hacker's help to find her on the internet, but he stopped himself from further agreeing to this decision.

Data security was the topmost priority of the World Federation founded by 20 nations. The United Nation was disbanded in 2032 because it was just there for show, it acted at the order of one country, and the only action from the UN was that their boss was disappointed about the situation.

In 2041, just after the world had healed from the world-ending natural calamities, The 20 most powerful nations decided to build a world federation. All the topmost leaders(Prime minister/President) of every nation on this planet will head the Federation. The top 20 members were given 2 votes in any decision in comparison to a single vote from the other nations. It was the only extra treatment given to the founders, except for extra vote, everyone was equal and the whole world decided any decision instead of 5 super appointed Nations.

Data security was the topmost priority of the Federation. Even the Governments weren't allowed access to the data of the individual unless it's a case of an emergency.

If Dev gets found out trying to search her location, he'll be in very big trouble. Dev's shoulder slouched down, a sigh released from his mouth.

Dev patted the doctor's shoulder and apologized to the doctor and the patient, "Forgive me for my rudeness. Send me the treatment cost of this gentleman, I'll pay for his treatment fee."

Dev left after that. "I have some things to do, so I may be late tonight," sent the text Dev to his mother.

Dev didn't have anything to do, he just wanted to stay alone for some time after his dream bubble got broken.

He just wandered all around the town, he only returned to his house after midnight. Dev was tired due to walking all day, he jumped on his bed and slept over until the next day.

Time flies, It has been more than a week since the accident. Dev still hasn't forgotten about the girl, but his mood is better than before.

Dev has to move to his new apartment, tomorrow. His apartment wasn't far from the Villa. It was only at a distance of 20 km.

Dev's family was preparing for this next step of Dev. Isha wasn't in support of Dev's moving into a new apartment, but she didn't try to stop him as she knew it was an important step for Dev's future.

Isha asked Dev to promise her that he'll only live independently until his course is completed.

Dev didn't refuse, because his family has always supported his every decision. They never tried to force their decision on him. Even though Dev's father and grandfather were in business and Dev was their only heir, they still respected his decision to not join his family business.

Everything that should be prepared for moving out has been prepared, now Dev only needed to wait for tomorrow, when he'll have a house yajna tomorrow, and then move in. Dev was religious himself, he believed in a higher power.

The next day, Dev's family picked up all the things needed for the Yajna and left. They first went toward the temple for praying to the god, then they proceeded toward Dev's new apartment. They held a Yajna for the removal of evil spirits near the house after that Dev broke the coconut at the door and then entered the house.

It has been more than a month since Dev moved into his apartment, his lonely life was very peaceful, his timetable was very simple. He'll study for 8 hours a day, he'll do yoga for one hour, and the rest 17 hours depending on the situation. He'll either have a girl over, or he will spend the night with some girl.

Dev had just completed his yoga when he got a voice call from an unknown number. He picked up the call and he heard the sweetest voice, "Hello, Mr. Dev."

Dev didn't respond for some time, the caller on the other side asked worryingly, "Are you alright, Mr. Dev?"

Dev came out of his stupor and answered nodding his head, "Yes, yes, I am Dev. Who must you be?"

The caller answered, "Do you remember, you saved someone from an accident?"

Dev's eyes shined and asked back excitedly, "Are you that girl who was involved in the accident?"

"Yes. Thanks for saving me," answered the caller.

Like a generous man, Dev answered, "It wasn't a big deal, I only took you to the hospital."

The caller answered, "It was a big deal for me. I called you to ask something."

"It's okay. What is it that you want to ask?" Asked Dev excitedly.

"Are you free next Wednesday?" Asked the caller.

Dev's excitement knew no bounds after hearing this, he answered, "YES, I AM FREE."

The caller was shocked to hear Dev's sudden loud voice, she didn't try to comment on it, and said, "Okay, my family wanted to invite you for dinner to show our thanks. Please come for dinner."

Dev's expression dimmed down like someone had poured a bucket full of cold water on him. He answered irritatingly, "Okay, I'll join you on your thanks dinner. send me your address," and cut the call.

The caller was shocked by the sudden change in Dev's action, the call has already been cut. She sent him her home address.

Dev got the home address and saw it wasn't very far from his apartment, it would only take about half an hour to drive there.

Dev's mood got ruined by the girl. He needed to vent his emotions the same way any so-called mature man would do, he selected a number on his contact list and dialed it.

It was the number of one of the girls he had flings with, the girl picked it up and asked, "Why are you calling me?"

Dev asked back, "If you don't have any plans today, why don't you join me for some fun?"

The girl scoffed, "What happened to your big talks about only spending one night with a girl?"

Dev irritatingly said, "Just say 'Yes' or 'No'. What's with all these stupid questions? You aren't the only girl I know."

The girl on the other side laughed and answered, "Someone seems to be grumpy. Do you want me to bring my friend too?"

"Sure, bring her too," answered Dev. he cut the call after that.

After half an hour, the doorbell rang. Dev opened the door and saw two girls standing at the door. One was a blonde girl, whom dev had called. She wasn't an Indian, she was here in India for her studies, the other girl was an Indian. Their names were Stacy and Priya. They both had worn the same kind of dress in different colors. Stacy had worn a light blue frock, and Priya had a yellow frock.

They both entered the house, Dev closed the door, they started doing what Dev had called them for. Dev vented all his irritation on those girls. [Author's note- He didn't abuse them.]

The next morning when he woke up, he found Stacy sleeping naked on top of him, and Priya was sleeping naked next to him.

Dev rubbed his forehead, he put down the girl on top of him on the bed and left the room. He went to the washroom to freshen himself, and take a bath.

Dev spent the whole week with the two girls, Stacy gave Dev a passionate lip kiss and told, "Don't forget to call me again, if you feel grumpy again," before leaving.

Dev only scoffed. The girls didn't mind but smiled at Dev's response and left.

Time flew by, it was Wednesday. Dev promised the girl in an accident that he'll join her at her family dinner. He couldn't go empty-handed, He bought a fruit basket. The invite time was 20:00. Dev left at 7:20 to reach 5 minutes early before the invitation time.

Will Dev pass the third test?

We'll find out next time...
