CHAPTER 3

Happy reading.....

Next morning as usual Anisha woke up by Mariam shouting and hurriedly got ready for college. She wore white chiffon top with peach coloured knee skirt. She wore her sling bag and checked if she put her earphones in her bag or not. They were important for her to escape the boring lessons of her history lecturer.

"Michael did you have breakfast?", Mariam asked him who was waiting outside for Anisha.

"Yeah, I did aunt."

"Liar ..I know you stayed at hospital till morning then how did you eat breakfast?"

Michael scratched the back of his neck nervously smiling at Mariam as she caught his lie.

"I can't hide anything from you, but Ma'am must be coming down. Don't worry about me, I will eat something from the college canteen."

Mariam didn't agree with him, but he made a puppy face so she gave up.

"Good morning ma'am !", Michael wished Anisha as he saw her coming towards the car.

She just gestured to him to open the door while scrolling down her mobile. He opened the passenger door for her, but she stopped at back.

She closed her mobile and looked up at him with a raising eyebrow. Her eyes checked him out quickly while he opened the door for her. He was wearing grey pants with  a navy blue full sleeve shirt tucked neatly.

"Don't repeat it, next time understand ?", she said sliding inside.

"Understood ..sorry ma'am I just thought you prefer sitting front side and it won't happen next time.",he apologized politely.

She didn't answer him just plunged earphones in and relaxed.

Michael pulled the car and they drove away.

All the while Anisha was busy on her mobile and sometimes listening to songs and chatting with her friends.

Home to college ride was very silent.

At college

Michael killed the engine and hoped out of the car. He curved around and opened the door for Anisha. She grabbed her mobile and bag while sliding down the car.

"Ma'am where should I wait for you.", he asked her.

"Canteen or library whereever you want, don't worry about authority, I have a nice reputation in college. Just say my name if anyone question you. Do you understand ? ", she replied pushing her goggles upto head.

"Understood ma'am."

She turned and walked ahead. Michael just stood there watching her retrieving frame, then his eyes color changed abruptly as he found some guy of her age following her secretly. The guy's gaze was on her back and his hands were in the air like he was waiting to hold her.

Micheal watched him as the man hands reaching Anisha waist. He immediately ran towards them and held his hand on time.

He yanked it around his back and gave a kick in his ribs with his right leg. The next minute he was on the floor coughing loudly. He was shocked by his punches the way Michael delivered on him like some professional.

"How dare you touch her wrongly.", Michael growled on him as he held him by his collar leaning over his face.

"Oh my god !", Anisha gasped loudly seeing the scene which happened in front of her.

"Who the fuck are you bastard.", the person shouted on him as he wriggled out of his hold. He had green eyes with brown hair with almost six ft height looking handsome. He had a cut on his left eyebrow and a piercing in his right ear.

"Leave him ..I said leave him Michael.", Anisha rushed forward instantly pushing Micheal aside.

"Are you fine Alex ?", she worried helping him to stand up.

"Ma'am, he tried to touch you inappropriately.", Michael explained looking at her but she was busy in checking Alex if he had any bad injuries.

"Who is this fucking fellow ..he has the audacity to tackle me down.", Alex glared at Michael in pure anger.

"He is my bodyguard.", Anisha told him.

"So he could beat up anyone just like that?", Alex gritted his teeth clenching his fist.

"He is my friend Alex, it's his way to greet hello to me. You made a big mistake touching him, say sorry to Alex.", Anisha demanded in hard a tone while Alex smirked down at Michael.

"Ma'am but he ..", he got interrupted.

"I said sorry to him now.", Anisha yelled in rage while fisting his collar in her hand.

Michael noticed how passing students were stopped in their spot momentarily as they heard Anisha raising her voice at him. They started whispering with each other while watching him with pity in their eyes. Some were looked concern and some wer6 actually enjoying the drama by showing their full teeth.

He bent down his eyes as he calmed his anger a bit down before saying ,"Sorry ..it was my mistake.", Michael apologized unwillingly.

A tear drop was going to escape his left dark brown eye but he sucked it back.

"What? What did you say...I didn't hear it properly .. repeat again" , Alex said intentionally though he heard him clearly.

"I am so sorry ..it was my mistake. It won't happen again.", Michael said a bit loud this time still bending down his eyes. Alex laughed at his sight and signalled Anisha to let him go.

Anisha left his collar and shouted at him to leave. "Just leave already."

Michael fists clutched and loosened a few times before he left the place calmly.

"Where did you find this joker haa.." , Alex commented at Michael's retreating frame.

Anisha did notice him wiping his left eye with the back of his hand as he disappeared in the parking area but it went ignored with Alex thoughts.

"What did you say again?"

Alex dusted off himself and wrapped his arms around Anisha waist as they walked into the college.

"I said where did you find this joker and what is the need of bodyguard when you have me , Jake, Rony and three more monkeys with you. We are enough to protect you baby .. don't we ?"

"It is not that Alex, my father insisted or he would take me back with him. He was upset last time when he found me leaving the night club alone and someone clicked me. You know right, I want to roam around whenever I am disturbed and I can't call you guys everytime to accompany me. So I came up with this idea and it's not that bad actually.",she replied.

"Just leave this topic .. let's go for a pool party, see the weather is actually nice."

"Pool party." ,the whole gang  of Anisha screamed reaching them.

"Yes guys, I am bored of classes. Let's just skip today.", Jake beamed.

"Come on girls convince our princess Anisha." , Alex encouraged the three girls Liza, Sana and kiya, eying them to come forward.

"Ann please say yes..", Liza pleaded holding her hand. She had hazel eyes with brown locks. 

Sana had honey orbs with golden hairs and Kiya has amber eyes with black hairs. Rony had black orbs with black hairs. Jake had blue eyes with brown hairs. 

Rony is a bit different from all of them. He is quiet and looks confused everytime. He follows Alex steps and takes his help when he needs it.

All of them rounded her and started begging her.

Anisha closed her ears with her hands and shouted.

"Okay ! Now stop bleeding my ears."

"But where?", She inquired confusingly.

All turned around glaring Alex ,"Yeah it's obviously the great charmer Alex knows where it is."

"Hey bro ! you looked like someone beat the shit out of you ?", Rony asked as he gazed him head to toe.

"Nothing idiot, I just tripped on my way.", Alex said in an irritated voice as remembered Michael's hard punch.

"But .."

"Enough now let's go before principal could catch us and throw in detention."

"That's really more horrible than daily classes bro." Jake made scared face.

They all burst into a fit of laughter before riding to their place.

Anisha quickly messaged Michael to get the car ready and he was already waiting in the entrance for her.

"Who is this handsome Ann " , Kiya exclaimed as they reached Anisha's car.

Michael didn't even look at Anisha, he just opened all  the doors for them as he saw them coming towards the car.

Alex slapped Kiya shoulder from behind ,"From which angle you are finding him handsome?"

Kiya glared him and returned his slap back to him.

"From all angles unlike you chimpanzee", She made face.

"Guys, he is my bodyguard Micheal Abel.", Anisha introduced stopping their war.

"Oh my, that is really hot you know...I love Michael.."

"Oh Ms.Dreamy he was the god of dance Michael Jackson and here he is just a puppet ..a new puppet of our princess okay." , Alex again butted in, clearly he didn't like her friends drooling over a person like him.

"Are you envious chimpanzee?", Kiya quipped intentionally triggering him, gosh she was enjoying his pissed off expressions.

"Fuck!" , he growled getting in his car and the boys joined him.

"Fuck you", Kiya shouted back and Anisha had enough of their drama.

She immediately shut her mouth ," Just don't embarrass yourself before my bodyguard.. behave.", she whispered in her ear.

Kiya pushed her hand away and frowned at her.

"You guys are so mean ..", she said while running ahead for the passenger seat.

Michael was taken aback in surprise finding Kiya sitting beside him.

"Hello Mic!..I am Kiya.. Anisha's enemy.", she smiled showing her full teeth while extending her hand to him for shake.

He was confused for a second and looked around to find Anisha.

"Ma'am may I ..", he asked her permission, Anisha found dumbfounded as she saw her friends glaring at her in awe.

Embarrassment ! She muttered under her breath before sliding back in her seat shutting the door harshly.

"Follow the car.", she said pointing Alex's car which just roared to life.

"Now you can shake Mic..you know you are very handsome.", Kiya started again and her hand was still holding up.

Her words really brought a sweet smile to Micheal lips. He shook his hand with her ,"Thank you and you are beautiful too ma'am."

Kiya was over the clouds as she heard him saying her beautiful.

"Aww you are the first person who acknowledged my beauty ", she wiped her unshed tears.

"But please don't call me ma'am, I am not that old"

Michael smiled at her finding her so crazy yet cute. He started the car nodding at her and followed Alex car.
