Chapter - 4

Happy reading …… 

Krish heard sounds coming from the bathroom side but surprisingly the door was locked from inside.

"Something is wrong ..", he turned to leave but stopped suddenly hearing Priya’s scream ,"Krish…"

He Immediately rushed towards the door and kicked it. He saw a man holding Priya in his grasp and trying to shut her mouth. Krish jaw clenched at the sight and his fist tightened. 

"Priya .."

"Krish save me from this bastard. He is Yuvi yuvi ..", she stuttered in cry. 

Krish’s veins popped out at his neck and he passed a warning glare to Yuvi, "LEAVE HER ..I said leave her otherwise I will break your bones .."

"So mom was right, you have a boyfriend.", he said clutching her neck while grabbing her hand roughly,"You shameless girl.." he seethed and slapped her cheek.

She cried in pain and her body was shaking in fear. "Leave my hand you piece of shit ..and yes he is my boyfriend ..I love him.", she said only to shut him up. 

Krish’s eyes became red seeing her wet eyes and pale face. Her little nose had turned dark shade of red and her eyes were puffed. Her vulnerable state couldn’t see by him. Because he can’t see any girl in trouble. 

"Yes she is mine, do you want me to show you the proof ..", Krish roared on him and kicked his leg which made him loose his grip over Priya. Then he immediately grabbed her by hand to his side. She stood behind him holding his shoulders tightly and looked at him. She felt so secure with him which she never felt with anyone. 

"Is it enough or you want to taste another punch."

Yuvi was going to attack on him but it’s already late as Krish landed a punch straight on his face which caused blood run from Yuvi's nose.  

He grabbed his collar and brought his bleeding face close to him, "Don’t you dare to touch her. I am with her, if you again try to harm her..I must say …I will definitely separate your hand from your body.", he finished giving one last punch on his stomach. He crouched down with a loud cry in pain and his face was covered by blood.

"Please let me go...I will never show my face to her again...", he literally begged for his life. 

Krish made his condition very bad while Priya felt happy that Krish put an end card to Yuvi’s chapter in her life. 

"Priya show him that how much you are strong.", he encouraged her. 

She came forward and lifted her left leg in the air. In one swift it’s landed on him in a great kick where the sun doesn’t shine. "You piece of shit .. don’t you dare to come near me again and tell your mom that yours this beautiful condition credits goes to Priya."

Krish shocked a little bit as he hadn't expected expect her bold kick. 

"You must have been gone by the next station or I will personally kick you out of this running train.", he gave one last warning to Yuvi and he nodded in fear.

He held Priya’s hand and pulled forward along with him. 

They reached their compartment and Priya was thinking how to thank him for his help. Before Krish could ask her anything, she just hugged him in emotional. He was surprised a little and at the same time confused whether to return her hug or not. 

"Thank you so much, you saved my life..", she genuinely said crying on his shoulders. Her nostrils filled with his strawberry smell and it did comfort her senses unknowingly.

At first meeting he felt awkward about Priya but now he had already accepted her as a friend so obviously he showed worry for her. 

"Are you fine ? Did he hurt you ??", he asked her worryingly while placing his hand on her head with a bit of hesitation. 

Priya moved back instantly while wiping her tears with her palm,"I think he followed me into train and hid somewhere in waiting for a chance to kidnap me. Fortunately you found me in time and saved my life like a film hero.", she said but still tears kissing her cheeks. 

"Please don’t cry Priya, now he never even try to think about you.", he tried to console her. 

"Sorry for telling him you are my boyfriend, I just wanted to get rid of him.", she said looking down guilty. 

He noticed her bending eyes, "I can understand Priya .. Don’t feel sorry, I am your friend right ???", he asked her cautiously particularly emphasizing 'Friend' word.

She didn’t pay attention on his words which made him say again. Krish again stressed the word, "What ! Am I not your friend ? Seriously Priya after all that stunt pulled by me, you are still confused about me. Not fair.", he said intentionally to cheer her up. She looked at him amusingly and pouted. 

"Yes you are Krish .. when I said we are not friends."

She was going to cry again, "Don’t get bad opinion about me that I said you are my boyfriend ..” 

"Oh my god .. Priya I am just trying to lift your mood."

He took her hand while holding her chin with another hand, "Look at me .." she looked up at him with big big tearful eyes. 

He smiled, while wiping her tears away with his thumb "I felt happy with whatever you said to him."

She was confused and a frown appeared on her face, "”What !!! I didn’t understand what do you mean ??”. 

Krish raked his hand through his raven hairs stylishly posing, "Any man would be appreciate if a beautiful and hot girl calls him as her boyfriend.", he winked at her and it had her laugh out loud.

"Good, please don’t separate this happy expressions from your face, sadness doesn’t suit you …Wait a minute, I have something for you."

He pulled out her white dupatta/scarf from the bag and she was shocked seeing it with him. 

“Is this yours ?", he asked holding it for her.

Priya wondered, "Yeah this is mine which I lost at the platform ??", she remembered the whole incident how she left her scarf. 

"Oh my ! So it’s you ?"

"Yes madam. Strange right.. unbelievable man."

Priya just paused for a second and then spoke up happily ,”Thank you Krish for everything ..” 

Krish taking his seat, "Okay, you just keep saying Thank you till we reach Mumbai."

Priya smiled, "I do .."

He pulled her hand and made her seat beside him, "No madam, I know once you decide something you will do it definitely until you satisfy." 

Priya turned facing him, "How do you know ??” 

He showed her mobile ,”Your mobile revealed your secrets." he grinned widely. 

"This is bad manners Krish. How can you touch someone else mobile without their permission.", she frowned while snatching her mobile from his hand.

"Now don’t think to kick me Priya ….I swear I am still single and I haven’t experienced anything.", he voiced innocently.

Priya burst into laughter, "Actually I saw this scene in a Hollywood movie, heroine did this exactly to Villain when he tried to force her. I liked it very much and want to do that. So I just grabbed the chance to try it simple.", she said proudly. 

"Oh my god .. Unbelievable ..", he gasped shockingly.

"Means ?", she quipped with a raising eyebrow.

"I write film stories and you do everything filmy.", he chuckled flicking her nose.

"Really Krish are you a writer ?", she was bewildered.

"Yes, my dad wants me to join his hotel business but I am interested in writing and direction. So I ran out of my house to live my dreams." 

"Seriously I can’t believe I have a writer and director friend . I am very lucky Krish and you have no idea how much I am happy right now."

"It’s going to be very tough for me now."

"Why ?"

"I saw your videos, trust me they are very horrible but you are cute."

"I know, I am very good in acting, Priya knows everything.", she patted her own shoulder proudly which amused Krish a lot.

"Haha superb awesome fantastic.."

He said remembering the video in her mobile "Don’t think a lot about Priya … She is in the heart … but hard to understand." in an intimidated voice.

He burst into a fit of laughter ,"You tagged your name before Salman Khan dialogue and the interesting thing is it’s suited you more than him."

"Krishh stop it.", she whined cutely. Her ear tips turned pink and cheeks warmed up.

They kept talking with each other until they reached Mumbai. Both became good friends so quickly and felt very comfortable with each other. She took a lot of selfies with him in various poses and posted one picture on her personal photogram page with caption. 

WHEN PRIYA MET KRISH ! #Friends 

She fell asleep on his shoulder while taking with him about future plans. She didn't know when her eyes shut down while Krish just lost in her crazy talks. He kept looking at her with smiling face, "Girl you talk so much.. Don’t know how will she handle herself in this big city. God please take care of her and support her wishes. She is little bit crazy but very sensitive from inside. A pure hearted person I have ever met in my life. Thank you for this cute gift.. ", he murmured to himself contently. 

Priya more snuggled onto his shoulder suddenly and mumbled, "Say thanks to god on my behalf too."

Krish got panic hearing her voice, "Oh goshh you are still awake ..?? " 

Priya smiled and looked up at him, "Disturbed by your words ..” 

"It’s time to say bye. We reached our destination." 

She became stir and looked out from the window ,"It’s quite fast." mumbled with a frown.

"Pack your stuff, we will be leaving in few minutes."

It was going good between them, all of sudden silence took over the place. Both calmly packed their respective luggages and waiting for the moment. 

Train stopped and they got down.

Krish bent down taking her bag along with his ,"I will carry it .."

"It’s okay Krish I will carry."

Krish looked at her into eyes ,"Again you become formal ..” , he said moving forward. She didn’t say anything just silently followed him down. 

Both were standing outside waiting for taxi but she was looked upset about something. After a few minutes of wait, finally he stopped a taxi for Priya ,"Priya get in ..I have told him your address and also paid the charge. So don’t worry and be careful." he told her.

Priya lost in her own thoughts while looking at him dejectedly ,"Suddenly I am scared of thinking that I am going to stay alone here in this big city. I have known only Krish here, now he is also going far and still he didn't even give his address to me. I want to ask but what if he get me wrong. Already I have irritated him enough throughout journey with my foolish talks and actions. Don’t know what to do, I will miss him .."

Krish called her name again pulling her out of her thoughts ,"Priya sit .." he said while placing her luggage in the taxi. 

She gave him one last sad look and turned to go with a heavy heart.
