*Sneha Pov*

One month already passed with me living my life and kind of ignoring the others.

In this one month, I got so close to my friends. Each one has a partner now.

Yup! Even Krishna. I mean what is this with having a girlfriend/boyfriend when we are still in the college.

When I said this to my friends they just laughed and said that "If you were given a chance, we are sure you would also have a boyfriend hanging around you."

"I think the statement is wrong guys. If she gives a chance to others, then someone would have been hanging around her." Suresh corrected them.

"Please ha! I am happy being single." I replied rolling my eyes.

"Hey Neha! Today I will not be working. Is it ok for you?" Suresh asked me.

"Totally fine yaar." I replied and left to go to my home.

When I reached, I saw Samrat waiting near the gate. What is he doing here?

There is still time for everyone to return from company right! Forgot to say, this month even includes him trying to take me out.

I went near him and cleared my throat and asked "What are you doing here?"

"Oh! I am just waiting for you." he replied.

"For?" I asked him.

"I know you said that you are busy every day until evening. So I thought why don't we go for a dinner? I missed spending time with you Sneha." He said directly looking at me.

I am shocked completely. Now it's my time to stutter while replying.

"I.. Uhmm.. we will see." I said and immediately wanted to face palm myself.

What can I do? He looked so cute but I know I shouldn't have accepted after I heard his views about me.

Just kill me now! I shouted in my brain.

But when I saw a big smile on his face, I think it is worth it.

"Thank you! I will be waiting." He said and left me in shock.

I shook my head and took rest for sometime before leaving for the café.

When I reached café, boss was already waiting for me.

"Sneha! I am glad you are here. I need a small favor." He said immediately when I entered.

"What is it boss?" I asked him.

"You must have already known that Suresh is not going to come today. So can you work one hour extra just for today please?" He pleaded me.

"Ok. Sure!" I replied without thinking.

That's how I ended up at present kicking my vehicle. Because it is just not getting start at all.

It is already 9pm. And the café is about to get closed.

After trying for some more time, I decided to just walk.

But when I passed the café it became so dark. I gulped and started walking but suddenly a hand came out of nowhere and pressed it over my mouth.

"Such a sweet girl. Don't you know that you shouldn't be alone at this time here." I heard a worst voice teasing me.

I felt so uncomfortable. I started kicking and tried to release myself. Tears started falling with fear and disgust with the way he is holding me.

But that stranger held me tightly and started dragging me far away from there.

I dragged my leg and kicked him with force. Then he cursed and removed his hand from my mouth and I immediately shouted.

"Shut up!" he shouted slapping me hard.

"How dare you touch her?" I heard a familiar voice shouting and rushing near us.

Thank you god! I thought feeling relieved looking at him.

He looked at me and asked "Are you ok?"

I nodded because I am just in shock.

Then he looked at that person and started punching him where ever he can.

By the sounds some people came out of the café along with owner who immediately called the police.

They stopped the punching and handed that bastard to the police. After that police left arresting him.

"Samrat!" I called him shaking up.

"Sneha! Are you ok?" He asked coming near me and checked my hands and face.

I immediately hugged and started crying. I don't have any power left and I was about to fall but he picked me up.

He slowly started taking me towards his car and opened the passenger door.

I thought he is just going to place me there but he sat in the passenger seat along with me and closed the door.

I just sat on him and kept on crying.

He rubbed my back and said "Sh.. I am here now. You are safe." repeatedly.

"He... tried... to...." I started saying between sobs but couldn't complete my sentence.

"Sh.. I know. I will kill him before he reaches near you." he said hugging me tightly.

After sometime when I controlled my tears a little, he moved me a little and looked at me.

"You are safe now!" he said kissing on my forehead.

I actually felt safe when he said that and when I am with him.

"Come on let's get you home." He said and was about to lift me to get out.

But I stopped him and said "Few more minutes."

He smiled and said "Sure."

I just sat there on him and he kept caressing my cheek. Few minutes later I nodded.

He smiled a little and got out leaving me in the seat and entered the car from driver side.

I just looked at him while he was driving me to our house.

When he stopped infront of Bhai's house, I got out shaking.

And he immediately came to my side and held me.

He didn't leave me even after that and took me inside where everyone was just waiting there.

Looking at me Bhai immediately asked "What happened Sneha?" worriedly.

"I will tell you Nag. First let her sit." Samrat said making me sit on the couch.

"Sneha?" I heard Bhabhi shouting and sat near me.

I hugged her tightly and started crying. Samrat calmly said what happened.

"I am going to kill him right now." Bhai shouted and started leaving the house.

Samrat stopped him and said "Did you think I didn't want to do that? I controlled myself so much to not do it. We will just go and complaint against him and let him rot in jail."

"Samrat is right Nag. If he doesn't get his punishment, then we all will teach him a lesson." Ramesh said.

Bhai shouted frustrated and came near me.

I immediately ducked thinking that he will shout at me.

But what he did next just surprised me completely. Because he just hugged me tightly and kept on saying 'I am sorry' continuously.

I too hugged him and cried even more but this time with feeling happy.

"It is not your mistake Bhai." I said.

"I should have protected you Sneha." He said and I saw a few tears in his eyes.

"I am fine Bhai. I am safe now!" I said looking at Samrat.

After few minutes we all heard "Neha!" coming from the door.

Suresh came along with my friends near me. What are they doing here at this time?

"Boss told me what happened. I am so sorry Neha. I shouldn't have taken leave today." Suresh said hugging me.

"That has nothing to do with this Suresh don't worry." I said.

Then all my friends hugged me and kept on saying that they were worried about me completely.

Finally when I assured them that I am fine, they left.

"Neha! Boss gave you one week leave." Suresh said while leaving.

I nodded but didn't miss hearing Bhai saying "She will not go there again."

I decided to ignore it and thought of dealing with it later.

Bhabhi took me to my room and said "Thank god! Samrat reached there on time."

"But what was he doing there?" I asked her.

"We all got worried Sneha. Samrat just decided to see what the reason for you to come late is. So he came there." Bhabhi said.

"I felt so weak Bhabhi, when I couldn't fight him." I said and few tears started falling.

"Everything is fine now Sneha. Forget it like a nightmare." She said.

I nodded. Then she said "Come on eat something."

"I am not hungry Bhabhi. I will just go to the terrace." I said.

"Ok. Try to forget it dear. If you can't we will talk when you are ready." she said leaving my room.

While changing I saw some blood near my lip. So I took the first aid box and went to the terrace.

After applying ointment I sat there calmly. Then I heard some sounds and saw Samrat on his terrace punching the wall a little.

"Samrat what are you doing?" I asked him.

He got startled and said "Nothing. Can I come there?"

I nodded and he immediately came here using the stairs which are outside the house.

When he sat near me I saw his both hands covered with blood.

"Are you mad? Look what have you done." I said and started cleaning his hands and covered them with bandage.

"I wish that wall was that Bastard. I would have been so happy." He said looking at somewhere else.

"I should also try to be more careful from now on and learn some defense. In future you won't be there to protect me right." I said smiling a little.

"I will be there always." He said in whisper but I heard him.

I slowly placed my head on his shoulder and he hugged me to him by placing his hand on my waist.

I don't even want to think about anything now at this moment.
