Just then I heard a voice which surprised me, " How dare you?? "

I turned to look at the source of the voice... and was shocked.

Oh God!!!

What the hell was she doing here?? She was supposed to be in college.

She didn't have time to talk to me but is free to come here??

And who was she shouting at??

I could not see as someone was standing in front of that man. I needed to go and solve this. As it is, she is my responsibility. I excused myself and got to go.

" Sorry, sweetheart. " Just then I heard Bob's voice and saw that she was shouting at him. Even James got up hearing his brother's voice.

" Oh, God!! " He said.

We rushed to them. " What is the matter?? " I asked her. She was shocked to see me.

" What are you doing here?? Following me? " She said.

" No!! I came here with friends. What are you doing here? Were you not busy at your college? " I asked.

" So?? My classes got over. Am I supposed to clean the college after it gets closed? " She retorted with sarcasm.

" No! But you were supposed to come home, not wandering here and there when I'm wondering where are you? " I said.

" Don't you understand that persuading me to stay with you is not your... " She was saying.

" Hey, Manik... you know her?? " Bob asked with amusement.

" You know him?? " She also asked me. I just nodded my head at both the questions.

" Then tell him to behave and learn some manners. " She said.

" What have I done?? " Bob said.

" How dare you even talk to me like that? " She barely reached his shoulder but was glaring at him.

" Bob, what did you say to her? Apologise to her. " James asked.

" What? No way! It was just a simple compliment. She has beautiful eyes. " He said.

" But who gave you the right to compliment me? " She yelled at him.

" Awww... She is cute... Like a small firecracker. " Bob said again with a teasing smile.

" You!!! Tell him to get lost or I will slap him just like I slapped you at our first meeting. " She said.

I got embarrassed.

" She slapped you?? Why?? " Bob asked with a grin.

I would slap him now, he was enjoying it a lot.

" Leave that... Be quiet, Bob, let me handle this. Roshni, see... he didn't intend to offend you. He is a foreigner and has come to our place. They are much more open and expressive. He just complimented you. You could have thanked him. He just said that you have beautiful eyes. It is such a nice compliment. What's wrong with that?? " I tried to calm her down.

" He also said that I have soft kissable lips. How can he say that?? He is not supposed to talk to me like that. " She said.

Oh, God! Of course, he should not have.

" Ok, I agree, he should not have but it is not a big thing to talk like this in his country. It's like a compliment only. Sometimes, we can't control the situation around us. You could have ignored him if you didn't like it. Just let it go, taking into consideration that his culture is different from ours and that they are more expressive. " I tried to make her see things differently.

" Oh, please... I have seen you and your... friend. You all are alike. I still remember what you did that day. He is also your friend, why would he be different? Of course, you would take his side. " She said with a hurt expression.

" What did you do that day... She slapped you... Why? " Bob asked again.

I swear I wanted to punch him.

" Because he dared to kiss me the moment we met. " She obliged him with an answer.

Can't she shut her mouth? I need to keep something with me to keep her mouth shut. I should gift her a lipstick with fevicol in it.

" What?? You kissed her on the first meeting?? Wow, man !! Is she your girlfriend?" Bob asked again.

" No!! " We both said immediately.

" But, just now you asked her why didn't she go home after the class?? Are you already living together? Wow!! " He assumed.

" See his assumptions show his thinking process. " She said sarcastically. I ignored it.

" No!! She is not my girlfriend." I said.

" But! You kissed her. " Bob argued.

" It was an accident. " I said.

" What an interesting accident. Please tell me about it. I will use the trick. " Bob said again.

" There is no trick, I was dancing with my girlfriend and was about to kiss her when Roshni, who was dancing next to her, lost her balance and she fell on my girlfriend and by mistake, my lips landed on her face. Happy? I have explained everything. Now, please go and shit there, let me talk to her. " I said.

" You kissed her in front of your girlfriend?? You are my hero!! I am amazed. " Bob said.

I am going to apply for an arm's license now. Why do I need to argue with brainless people all the time??

" Will you please stay out of it?? James, please take him away. I need to talk to her. I will join you soon." I said and James tried to pull him away but Bob was reluctant to go. He was enjoying on my expense now.

" Excuse us!! " I said and caught Roshni's hand and came out of the cafe.

" Hey! Where are you taking her?" A boy from her group of four people who seemed to have come with her said.

" None of your business. Go inside. " I yelled at him as I had lost my patience and I could not talk to another brainless idiot.

" I am not leaving you alone with her. " He said.

" Why? Are you her bodyguard? " I asked.

" I am her boyfriend. " He said.

" Boyfriend?? " I looked at Roshni for an explanation. Even she was looking at him with shock.

" Yes!! Now leave her hand," he said.

" You leave from here before I beat you. Stay away from her. " I glared at him.

" Who are you to tell me what to do?? Are you her brother?? " He asked.

" I don't need to explain, who I am to her. Just stay away. Roshni, you are going to haveli, right now." I said.

" I am not going there. I got accommodation. Don't worry about me. " She said and turned to go.

" Enough of your attitude. I am tolerating it because I think you are just like an angry child. But enough is enough. You are coming home with me. And that is final."

" No, I am not!! I have friends who could let me stay with them. I am welcomed at their place though their houses are not as big as yours. But they are not scared of looking at my face every day. Leave my hand. "

" Stop behaving like a stubborn child, I am losing my mind now."

" I am not a child, stop calling me that. " She retorted.

" You damn well are... If you don't want to be referred to as a child then stop behaving like one. " I yelled.

" Your safety is my concern. There is a limit to everything. You are going to stay at the haveli. Wait here. My friends will go in some time. Then you will come with me. We will take your stuff from your friend's place and go to haveli. " I said.

" Don't bother. I will come on my own. " She said.

" And if you don't come by tonight, I swear, I will come to your college tomorrow and take you home with me in front of the whole college. " I said.

" Oh, please you can't do that. "

" Can't I?? Wait and watch. In fact, the whole college will watch tomorrow. If you don't want that humiliating experience, come with me. Wait here for me or come by yourself if you want." I threatened her. She looked shocked.

I turned and went back to my companions. I asked them if they were ready for shopping and they nodded.

Though Bob kept asking me about her, I avoided the subject. I helped James in buying stuff, he was very happy after getting so many things for his girlfriend.
