Chapter - 14

Akshath's POV:

(Thursday)

I woke up early in the morning to destroy that bastard Ankit.

I hacked his mobile and laptop. When I logged in and went through his devices, there were pictures of different girls. It seems like the images were deliberately shot at the wrong angles. They were all candid's, meaning the girls did not even know that this fucker possess their pictures. Among them, I found 4 pictures of Sanjana.

That mother fucking asshole!! He will regret messing with her. There were personal chats of him where he blackmailed girls to go out on a date and there were nudes as well which I have deleted.

I copied all these chats and posted them on the university's official account by blurring the girl's names, faces, and numbers.

They cannot trace me. I made sure of that. Every time they come close to catching my real account they will be redirected to a fake account trapping them around in an infinite loop.

I deleted Sanjana's pictures along with a few other girls from his laptop so that he could not get suspicious. Now I have to wait and see what action the university takes.

I also came to know that his father is a local politician and they own a few companies. I called my most trustworthy person who does all the dirty work for me.

"Mike, I sent you the details. I want you to burn these companies down", I informed him and started getting ready for university.

As I reached the university there was a large commotion as expected. Ankit's good deeds (note the sarcasm) were the topic of discussion. Students and parents started protesting against the administration concerned about their safety.

Students came forward and dropped complaints against him. There were many allegations against him like bullying, blackmailing, exam paper theft, and much more.

The classes were dismissed for the first half of the day due to the ongoing protests and all the college staff were called for an emergency meeting.

I joined my friends that were gathered in the corridor looking at the situation.

I saw Sanjana and her friends standing beside Pranay. She smiled and waved at me and I just nodded my head.

"I will worship the living heck out of the person who has done this", exclaimed Pranay. "Why Pranay, what did he do to you?", Karthik asked Pranay. "He bullied Sanjana. She cried on Tuesday when Akshath was absent", revealed Pranay looking at me.

"What did he do?", my voice came out harsher than expected. "We were actually in our class and the professor was late. Ankit along with his friends entered our class stating that he would be interacting with juniors. In the name of interacting, he intentionally dropped a whole carton of juice on her white shirt and started recording her. I rushed to her side and covered her with my jacket. He lashed out at me but I started shouting and created a scene so the professor from the neighboring classroom arrived and asked them to leave", finished Pranay breathing heavily as if controlling his anger.

"Sanjana, why the hell did you not inform us about this?", questioned Tara. "Yeah Sanjana, you should have informed us. I would have chopped his dick off", said Piggy almost shouting.

"I do not want to involve you guys in this mess. He asked for my social media account and mobile number multiple times but I denied him so he did that", replied Sanjana looking down and playing with her fingers.

"Did any other seniors try to talk to you?", asked Sam. "Umm yeah few more but I swear I escaped them", she said looking at them assuring that she is capable of dealing with this shit.

Capable? My foot. "From now on, I will be dropping you off and picking you up from the dorms and if I am not  available then Pranay, Jay, or Karthik will fill in and that's final", I said and left from there to calm myself down.

Eventually, the day ended and I dropped Sanjana at her dorms.

I reached my apartment and started thinking about everything that has happened in college today. The more I plan to distance myself from Sanjana, the more we are pulled towards each other like a magnet.

It is almost a month now and I thought I wouldn't enjoy college life but here I am meeting a new girl taking her on a dinner, adding new friends to our group and becoming popular. Hmm such a dramatic life.

I had my dinner that night and retired to sleep.

(Friday)

Today we are going to submit our circuits project and our professor will be examining it in front of the whole class.

As usual, we attended classes in the morning and met at the cafeteria for lunch. "Sanjana did you bring the documentation that we were about to submit?", Jay asked and she nodded. "Okay, I will go get the prototype. It's in my car", saying this Jay left to bring it.

Me, Jay, Sanjana, Rahul, and Isha were appreciated by the professor and applauded by the whole class for our project and after that, we had a free period.

As I was going towards the parking lot to drop Sanjana off, she said she wanted to have a pizza. I shook my head knowing that she would not be able to complete it and I have to eat it by myself again. So I invited Karthik, Pranay, and Jay. Sanjana's friends left for the dorm as they were exhausted from working on the project for the past week.

We went inside the pizza shop and Sanjana ordered almost everything on the menu. Me and Jay shared knowing looks at each other and did not order anything. Karthik and Pranay have also ordered many items and they didn't give much thought when Sanjana was ordering the items. They were in their own fucking Lala land.

Once the order arrived, Karthik and Pranay started stuffing themselves. Sanjana forwarded a few items in my direction and I shared it with Jay.

Karthik and Pranay completed their food and Sanjana forwarded a few items to them. They looked at each other, shrugged, and started eating them and after they had completed ,Sanjana forwarded a few more items again and they looked taken back.

They were halfway through and Pranay replied "I am done", and Karthik nodded as well. Sanjana requested them and started giving them puppy eyes.

They hesitantly took a few bites listening to her pleas. "Sanjana, you are force-feeding us. I cannot take it anymore. If I eat one more bite, I will puke my guts out", said Pranay clutching his stomach.  "Yes Sanjana I ate so much that I literally hate pizza right now", said Karthik.

I paid the bill and we started leaving in our respective cars.

I dropped Sanjana at her dorm and sped off to my apartment. I don't even know what I felt for her. She is occupying my everyday thoughts and disrupting me. She is dangerous for me or should I say for my heart as it starts to dangerously beat around her. What the fuck is wrong with me? Maybe I need a fucking therapist or a cardiologist?

Author's POV:

Pranay and Karthik invited all the girls to their apartment to spend the weekend together as they have gotten close to them during projects and classes. And they also want to bring Akshath and Sanjana closer.

They did not inform Akshath as he wouldn't entertain such thought but they have planned the whole weekend with the girls together.

They informed Jay on Friday night and he also got involved in the plan.

(Saturday)

Karthik started cooking a feast for lunch with Jay and Pranay helping him. Akshath came downstairs and was shocked by the amount of food Karthik was cooking.

"Are you feeding a cattle?", Akshath asked them with Sarcasm.

"No, but we are having guests over", Jay nonchalantly informed Akshath. "And who might they be?", questioned Akshath. "The girls", replied Pranay feeling nervous all of a sudden.

"You did not deem the information important enough to inform me before inviting them to My apartment?", Akshath asked controlling his anger.

"I thought it was our apartment even though your grandpa bought it. If that's the case then we are happy to leave. You can live all alone and enjoy all the rooms. I did not think you would stoop so low", exclaimed Pranay dramatically wiping his non-existent tears.

"Just stop it, you drama queen. Where will you go if he throws you out? Will you stay in the dorms?", whispered Karthik to Pranay.

"Do whatever the hell you want but do not involve me in this shit", stated Akshath while serving breakfast for himself.

"Awww so you don't want us to leave? Is this your indirect way of saying I love you? My baby?", teased Pranay.

"Don't poke me, all your belongings will be thrown out along with your dramatic ass", said Akshath while having his breakfast.

"Sanjana is also coming you know", said Pranay making Akshath pause for a second. "So?", asked Akshath. "What do you mean by so, she is your first-ever girlfriend", teased Pranay. "Pranay stop your fucking nonsense. She is no girlfriend of mine", roared Akshath slamming his hand on the table.

Pranay was startled for a moment but then regained his composure and said "Yeah, she is a girl and she is eventually becoming your friend so girl friend", explained Pranay.

"Do you think I am too dumb to understand your double-meaning sentences? I will kick your mother fucking ass if you use these on me", warned Akshath and returned to his room.

At Sanjana's dorm:

All the girls got ready as they got invited to the apartment. Initially, they were not okay as they hadn't been close to any boys. In school, they used to stick together and focus on them selves instead of involving with boys.



Sanjana's outfit


So when Karthik and Pranay asked them they instantly refused but after a lot of persuasion and promising the girls that they would write their records for the whole semester and go shopping with them whenever needed, they agreed.


They know that going to someone's home, especially a place where bachelor's live is not a good idea. But they agreed as they knew that the boys were good without any ill intentions towards anyone which they had observed for the past week.


Piggy and Tara carried pocket knives and pepper spray in their handbag just in case you know.

Out of all the girls Sanjana was very reluctant as she informed her parents that she was going to one of her friend's home. Technically she did not lie but at the same time she did not reveal the whole truth. 

The girls had their breakfast, booked a cab and reached the apartment within 15 minutes.

Sanjana and the girls entered the room and were greeted by the guys unexpectedly. The guys welcomed them with yellow coloured roses for each of them symbolizing long-lasting friendship, care, and joy.

The girls were happy that they were respectful and thoughtful enough to give them such a warm welcome. They entered the apartment with wide smiles as their worries vanished into thin air with such a heartful gesture.

Sanjana forwarded the cupcakes that she baked last night as she didn't want to go empty-handed.


Akshath was going down to get a coffee for himself and he heard the doorbell ring. He fetched his drink and immediately rushed back to his room. He was conflicted with his feelings. He wants to go down and take a look at her but his ego is not helping him and commanding him that she is not as important as his work.

He started working on the file and when he looked at the clock only 10 minutes passed. The thought of her out there just downstairs in his apartment is eating him out begging him to take a small look at her or at least her dress as he was a fan of her dressing sense.

He wanted to distract himself as he knew he would not be doing any work in this state. He took out his guitar and started humming and playing a tune. His fingers gliding on the strings matching his rhythm.
 
Sanjana heard some sounds upstairs. She looked at her friends engaged in conversations with the boys. So she started heading upstairs with her bag

She was curious and wanted to know if it was Akshath as her eyes had been searching for him since she entered.

She wanted to thank him for treating her with Pizza earlier and she even bought special cupcakes for him. Although she felt guilty as she made simple cupcakes to Akshath's friends but she took extra care while baking these to suit Akshath's taste.


She heard some faint humming coming from his room. She knocked on the door multiple times but there was no response.

She turned the doorknob and it got opened. She slowly entered the room without making any noise and saw Akshath playing music and humming to the tune. She placed the cupcakes on the table and took out her mobile to click a picture.

Akshath heard the shutter sound of a mobile camera and turned towards the sound. And there she was standing in her glory with an embarrassed smile as he caught her clicking his picture.


He checked her out from head to toe and smiled internally as his cravings to look at her were satisfied.

As he saw the mobile in her hand taking his picture without his knowledge he got to know one thing.

Is it not just him feeling for her or is it?
