"Nashi" Shweta said as she looked at the familiar figure walking towards her.
"I lost contact with the guards so I called you, but your phone was off." Nashi said before Shweta could ask any questions. "Then Dad called and said that Rangaa came to find you so I hurried here directly."
"And the police?" Shweta asked.
"I was at a meeting and it was gonna take a while. So I called them first to buy time or bring backup." Nashi said and placed his hands on her shoulders. "You should be careful Shweta." Nashi said and hugged her and took a deep breath. Seemingly relieved that she was fine and he wasn't late.
"How did he know where I am?" Shweta asked as she broke the hug, and looked at him doubtfully.
"I don't know. It's Rangaa, we're talking about. Maybe he still has some loyalists around Dad. You know that guy is like a cockroach." Nashi said.
"But _ "
Ring ring
Shweta was about to ask something, as Nashi's phone rang and he handed it to Shweta without picking it up.
"Please talk to him, or he'll pester me all night." Nashi said in a helpless tone, seeing Shweta hesitating to take the phone from his hands.
"Hello," Shweta answered and immediately an old but majestic voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I told you, that running around like a mad child will only cause you more trouble. I've sent Veera to pick you. It's time you _"
"I'm not coming back." Shweta immediately rejected the offer in a stern tone.
"I've told you before, girl. That family, had nothing to do with you. It was an accident."
"It wasn't. I kill_" Shweta was about to say something, but she noticed Shiva staring at her and she swallowed her words and moved a few steps away from him. So he wouldn't listen to her conversation.
Shiva just looked at her back, not sure what to think or make sense of this situation he had witnessed today. He was scared, worried, nervous and just stuck, about not knowing anything.
'Who are you?' He wondered as the words of Rangaa echoed in his ears again.
'Shweta Nirvaan, are you _'
His thoughts were moving non stop when someone tapped on his shoulders.
"Shiva,"
Nashi asked as he looked away from Shweta and noticed him nearby. Shiva too, remembered about this guy, whom he met a couple of times before and now he appeared for Shweta too.
'Do they know each other?'
"Hey, I'm asking what you're doing here?" Nashi asked again as he saw him losing focus again. He shook his head as he thought about how this new friend of his always starts getting lost in his brain every now and then.
"Umm I was _ I was with her." Shiva replied.
"With Shweta?" Nashi said doubtfully and then glanced back at the nearby closed cafe and frowned.
"Yes, do you know her?" Shiva asked.
"Yeah, she's _uh family." Nashi said with a little thought and looked at him. "What about you, how did you two meet?"
"She's my batchmate at the college." Shiva replied.
Nashi raised his eyebrows at his answer but before he could ask anything else, he saw Shweta coming back, so he stopped. But Shiva didn't see her and continued asking.
"You didn't mention you had a sister." Shiva said to him, thinking this guy was Shweta's brother.
"She's not _" Nashi answered, when Shweta interrupted him.
"You guys know each other?" Shweta asked as she saw both of them chatting.
"Yeah, we met a few times before."
"He's a friend."
Nashi and Shiva both replied to her question together and smiled.
"It's late. You should go back." Shweta said and threw the phone at Nashi, who glanced at the broken screen and sighed.
"I can drop you to your dorms. It's quite late. So _" Nashi offered to help but Shweta cut him off.
"It's just one block away. You don't have to."
"Fine, just take care of yourself. And if you need anything, call me." Nashi said to her and turned back to leave.
"Good night, buddy." Nashi waved his hands at Shiva and then drove his car away. As his guards had already dealt with the police and sent them back.
Once shweta saw Nashi's car turning around the corner, she looked at Shiva and said. "I'm sorry."
"About what?"
"I ruined the whole mood, didn't I?" Shweta said, looking a little down.
After months of struggle and sadness, she finally smiled today. And even that was ruined because of her past.
Seeing that she was blaming herself, Shiva smiled and said "Well, if you feel guilty. This cafe is open tomorrow too. So _"
"My treat." Shweta replied almost instantly.
"But not here. Let's go somewhere else." She added as she remembered about Rangaa and Nashi and everything.
"Fine by me." Shiva said.
They were both walking slowly towards their dorms, looking at the silent roads and enjoying the scenery in silence, when shweta coughed and broke the truce.
"Aren't you curious?" Shweta asked suddenly.
"About you," Shiva said.
"Yeah"
"Well to be fair, I've been curious about you from day one. So nothing new." Shiva shrugged his shoulders and said.
His words bringing a little smile to her downcast face.
"Beautiful" Shiva muttered subconsciously, as he looked at her perfectly crafted face, which seemed to glow under the moonlight.
"What?"
"You, you look prettier when you smile." Shiva replied to her question, and her face brimmed in another smile.
"Were you scared?" Shweta asked.
"Obviously. Did you see those guys? None of them looked like a normal person. when they blocked us, for a second I thought they were gonna beat the crap out of me" Shiva said honestly, instead of boasting.
His heart really was shaking nonstop. This was the first time he came across something like this. Class fights and hostel struggles are just kids pulling clothes and grabbing heads, which he can do easily too. But in front of those guys who looked like they won't hesitate to break his bones and cut him in pieces, of course he was scared.
"Thank god, I was just thinking too much." Shiva said and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry. I'll keep you safe." Shweta said under her breath slowly, but Shiva who was walking just by her side still heard her.
"Then I'll rely on you." Shiva said and smiled as he remembered that Shweta once boasted to him about being a better fighter than him. Maybe she really is.
"Hiding behind your girlfriend huh. Not a nice thing to do." Shweta smiled and teased. Not realizing the effects her words had on him.
"Are you_ my girlfriend?" Shiva asked, stopping his racing heart and mind, which echoed her words again and again.
"Good night, Shiva." Shweta realizing her blunder, just smiled and walked hurriedly into her dorm building, leaving him behind staring at her awaiting her reply.
"Girlfriend huh, sounds nice enough." Shiva muttered and smiled as he turned back to leave.
On the other hand, Nashi, who was driving back home, had a frown on his face all the way. He knew Shweta was with someone but he didn't know it would turn out to be him.
"Why does it have to be you, Shiv." Nashi tapped his hands on the window frame, "Let's just hope for both our sake that she can wake up from her dreams faster, buddy. Otherwise I can only hurt you for it."
[Send his name to Veera, and tell him to keep an eye out for him.] He said to his driver and shook his head in disappointment.
'You're ruining everything shweta. And you don't even know it.'
But if you can't wake up from your peaceful paradise, how can my father's dreams be achieved.
