Chapter 2: Please Save Me.

No one’s POV

.

.

.

“Please dad”, Camella showed her puppy eyes. “Please...Please….Please. I want to change my school and will study at XYZ school. Please...Please...Please. I want to study there because my boyfriend is there.”, She pouted a little.

.

“Okay, Ella”, Her father or say her mother’s boyfriend, Rex Reynolds, finally agreed. He was just temporarily filling the position of Italy’s Mafia King because Camella was too young to handle that position. Her real father died in the enemy's attack when Camella was just one-year-old. And he was Rex’s elder brother.

Later on, it was decided that Rex will handle the throne and his son will be the next heir, but then, it was revealed that Rex was sterile because of which his wife left him. Both Rex and Alice (Camella’s Mother) were broken and lost after losing their partners.

.

They never realized when they came close and fell in love with each other. And for them, Camella was the apple of their eyes.

.

“Thank you, Dad.”, Camella hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek. “You are the best dad in the world.”, after saying this, she ran away from there happily.

.

Rex smiled at her childishness. He had already got checked the status of the school about which Ella was talking about and he found it was that it was also an amazing school, just like the one in which Ella was currently studying.

Next Morning

.

.

“Seems like someone is very excited to reach school as soon as possible?”, Vyom, Kush’s Father teased him when he saw Kush was desperately wanted to reach school before time.

.

“Dad, my girlfriend said that she will meet there.”, Kush shared the reason for his excitement. Vyom smiled and kept his eyes on the road. He didn’t bother to think about his girlfriend assuming things like that she would be any girl, who is his friend. He dropped both Kush and Bella at school.

Kush held Bella’s hand and took her to her class, making sure that she reached into her classroom safely.

.

“Take care, Balloon.”, He messed with her hairs. “If anyone will bully you, then let me know.”, He said showing his fist.

.

“I am not a balloon.”, Bella spat and glared at his elder brother and went inside her classroom. Kush smiled at his sister. She was looking so cute. He calls her balloon just to tease her, but he doesn’t allow anyone else to call her the same.

He went back near the school gate and waited for Camella until the bell rang. He was upset that she didn’t come to meet him. With a heavy heart, he went into his classroom.

.

.

‘She lied.’, He thought and felt bad for trusting her words. And the teacher announced, gaining his attention.

.

“Student, we have a new student in our classroom.”, The teacher said and Kush peeked from his side and there he saw his girlfriend. She was looking cute in a school uniform, a grey color skirt, and a white shirt. Her brown hairs were tied in a single ponytail. “Her name is Camella Reynolds. Just because she had joined the school in the mid-session, do help her in the studies.”, The teacher continued and until then Ella’s hazel eyes had already found her boyfriend.

.

“Camella go and sit with Kush. He is a brilliant student of our class. He will help you in the studies.”, The teacher said to which she nodded and walked toward Kush’s desk. They smiled, looking at each other. 

.

.

Six years later (When both the kids were of twelve years)

.

.

“Mom, I heard that dad was talking about fixing my marriage with the Russian Mafia’s son. Is that true?”, Camella asked her mother, helping her in cleaning the gun.

.

“No, princess. You might have misunderstood the things. Actually, they had come up with this proposal, and your dad put it on hold saying they will talk about it when you will you grow old. Maybe after 18, you may get engaged and will get married to him after 23.”, Alice explained to her daughter.

.

“But I have a boyfriend.”, Camella said and tears started welling in her eyes.

.

“Princess, not everyone is lucky enough to marry their boyfriend.”, Alice tried to make Camella understand the reality around her. “In the world where we live, every girl has the freedom to do anything except the freedom to choose her life partner.”

.

Camella’s eyes filled with tears, but she didn’t let her tear flow down from her eyes. She had newly learned something new recently. ‘Actions speak louder than words.’

.

.

Two years later (When both the kids were of fourteen years)

.

.

“He was my brother.”, Kush sobbed, hugging Camella, while she consoled him. In the morning, he had lost rocky for forever. It was nothing serious, just natural death. Being an outsider, Camella had shared a lot of happy memories with Rocky. She was feeling bad for losing Rocky. So, she could imagine what Kush and his family would be going through.

.

“Kush, please calm down.”, Camella sobbed a little, seeing her boyfriend crying for the first time in her life.

.

“Why are you crying?”, Kush asked, seeing his girlfriend’s tears.

.

“Because you are crying, stupid.”, She pointed out and pinched his pink nose. “By the way, I have an idea to bring him back.”

.

“And what is that?”

.

.

After an hour, Kush smiled, observing the little version of Rocky. Obviously, that puppy was not him, but he was looking at Kush curiously. Currently, they were in a pet house and a junior version of rocky was staring at him with the hope that someone will take him away from this cage to their house.

.

“I am taking him home.”, He said to the owner of the pet house and pointed his finger toward a small German Shepherd. He then looked around only to find Ella with a female puppy of a german shepherd.

.

“I am taking her with me. So, that they both can have a happy married life in the future just like us.”, She said in a dreamy way to which Kush couldn’t help and agreed with her.

.

.

Two years later (When both the kids were of sixteen years)

.

.

“Wow, what do you think you are doing?”, Camella fumed as she glared at Kush and a brunette who was clinging onto him.

.

“Ella!”, Kush’s eyes widened in shock and surprise. He removed that brunette and walked toward his girlfriend with a smile.

.

“Surprised to me see me at your home?”, She glared and crossed her arms around her chest. She tapped her feet, getting irritated. She came to Kush’s house because she was missing him and here she found him doing something which is totally unacceptable.

.

“Because! You rarely come to my home!.”, He said and leaned toward her to kiss her cheek as always.

.

“No!”, She angrily slapped on his chest and pushed him away. “You can’t go around girls all clinging and then come to me like that.”, She said and tears started welling in her. She started leaving from there.

.

“Wait, Ella..”, He started to say something, but she didn’t stop to hear him. He followed her and by the time she entered the elevator, he joined her there. He panicked when she saw the love of his life was crying.

.

“Don’t cry, Ella. She was Balloon’s friend and everything happened so suddenly that I didn’t get time to push her away, I love you, Ella and you know that, right?”, Kush cupped her face and wiped her tears. “I will never cheat on Ella. NEVER.”

.

“Promise?”, She sniffed, wiping her tears away.

.

“I promise.”, He said and lean toward her. He started at her trembling pink lips. They used to peck at each other’s lips sometimes but had never kissed each other for real. Kush wanted to feel her soft lips against him and he could have, but the door of the elevator opened on the ground floor.

.

“Kush.”, Both immediately maintained one hand distance after hearing the voice. Ella looked toward the owner of the voice and gulped her saliva nervously. She couldn’t understand why Kush’s mother dislikes her so much.

.

“Hello Mrs. Grover.”, Ella greeted her, to which Pragati just nodded. “Kush, I will see you later.”, saying this, she walked out of the elevator.

.

“Yeah.”. Kush muttered and waved his hand and then he turned toward his mother who was digging a hole in his head.

.

Oh, God! Please save me. He prayed.
