Her Devil His Calm | 18+

Chapter 1 :- Struggle

All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town

I’ll do it ’til the sun goes down

And all through the nighttime

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, I’ll tell you what you wanna hear

Leave my sunglasses on while I shed a tear

It’s never the right time

Yeah, yeah

Author’s POV :-

It was Saturday, the Elite was buzzing with the people. As it is the weekend the people were there to celebrate their time with themselves, with their friends .

Being the one of the biggest and well-known clubs , it was filled with the crowds , most probably rich mens or spoiled kids of big personality.

Some people were drunk, some were enjoying their time alone , some boys were flirting with females to try to get the lead .

In all the crowd the staff waitress served the drinks and kept the crowd entertained.

" Siya ” a voice called out for another one .

“Yes.” A girl in her late teens answered and made her way toward the person who called her .

" Yes Di ” she asked the girl who haved called her which is older than her .

" Siya, aaj tumhe VIP area mein serve karna hai,” the older girl instructed gently, informing her of the new duty.

( Siya today you have to serve in the VIP area )

" But . Di ..” she tried to resist her as she is not much experienced and is also much younger to face the types of persons in VIP areas.

She has heard from others that the gangsters, mafia and other dangerous people are always in the VIP area .

Even though the club is also owned by the mafia King , they have been provided with the safety but still she feared going in front of them.

“ No but siya , you know you have to serve them one day . You can’t just deny this” the older lady said , voice firm but soft not wanting to startle the poor kid.

“ Ok di “ the younger one nodded , not wanting to get fired as this is her only source of income.

She quickly took the tray from the other and went toward the VIP room with shaky legs and hands .

Despite her nervousness she managed to not spill the drink on the tray.

Opening the door, she stepped inside the dark room eliminated with less amount of light. She saw five people double her size sitting on the couches present in the room.

Hearing the door being open, their attention snapback in her direction makes her nervousness skyrocketing.

She took a deep breath and went in front of them till then they again emerged in their discussion without paying attention to her.

Praying God for this she quickly put the drink on the coffee table and passed everyone there glass.

Her happiness didn’t last long when the last man gripped her hand while taking the drink from her hands , making her stomach sink in disgust. The way he scanned her from head to toes made her sink crawl in disgust.

“Thank you babygirl.” The man said, kissing her hand as she quickly pulled it away and ran out taking the tray back.

The man laughed seeing her dashed out , making another glare at him.

“ Do you have a dead wish Anvay ?, sir will kill you if you ever misbehave with his staff” the man in the middle said , warning him , his voice intimidating and strict.

Anvay chuckled , in a mocking tone.” Oh come on Shivaay, I was just messing with that girl a little. Didn’t you see her? Sacred little cat “

“ Just messing up will lead you to your grave . Remember my words” Shivaay said, urging others to continue the discussion.

“ Let’s continue the discussion till the boss arrives. Shall we ?” He ordered, gesturing his hand toward the screen.

Meanwhile on the other hand , Siya ran out of the room , clenching the tray tightly to her chest , tears forming in her eyes.

Making her way to the staff room she put the tray on the table and went to the washroom to wash her hand where Anvay had kissed.

“ Siya “ someone called but she didn’t listen , busy washing his touch, rubbing her hands recursively till they turned red .

“ Siyaa” the voice but she didn’t stop , tears falling from her eyes , her lips quiver but she held her cry back.

" Siya stop what are you doing?” Another girl , named Ritu, asked her , shaking her shoulders, pulling her away from the sink.

““Ritu, he touched me… kissed my hand. It feels disgusting. I just… want to scrub it off.“” she said hiccuping in between, her voice cracked and low.

More than his touch the look in his eyes disgusted her , the way he roamed his eyes all over her body scanning her as she was serving the drinks.

“ Shhh.. it’s ok , he is not here , you are safe. Just stop crying.” Ritu assured her knowing how cruel it can be and how she must have felt.

Siya being the youngest among them but she still struggled in her eighteenth year of life.

“ I do not want to go there again Ritu , I do not “ Siya cried out hugging her , burying her face in her chest as she caressed Siya’s back , to reassure her.

“ You do not want to go there , it’s fine .Baby I’ll take your shift . Just stop crying .” The older one cooed at her, her voice sweet and soft , pulling her from her embrace and wiping the tears from her face.

Siya’s hiccups subsided a little as Ritu helped her in washing her face and making her look presentable.

After a while they swapped their shifts , Siya went back to serve the crowd and Ritu took over her position , serving in the VIP area.

Even though she was away from the VIP area her mind still kept wondering about the earlier scene, making her eyes moist .

Not wanting to get her thoughts in her work she shook her head getting rid of the thoughts and engaged herself to serve the others.

It was midnight as her shift ended , changing her uniform and taking all the belongings she bid goodbye to her colleagues as Ritu again hugged her asking her to take care of herself.

Coming out of the club she looked up at the sky , grazing at the moon. “ Maa , baba, why did you leave me? “ She whispered in a low voice laced with Loneliness and sadness.

Pulling her bag’s strap to her shoulder she made her way to the silent street , hoping to get home as soon as possible.

She took a sharp turn to the valley for her home . Quicking her steps she hurriedly walked away not looking anywhere but just in front of her.

Until she heard someone grunt , making her startled she stopped in her tracks. Before she could say or do anything a person dressed in black suit came running in her direction.

He quickly pulled her with him into a dark area of the valley . Hiding both of them from the attackers.

Siya , who was stunned by the sudden move, opened her mouth to scream thinking of him as some thug but he put his hand on her mouth preventing her from making any noise.

“ Shh , just keep quiet or else we both will be in danger” he whispered , looking down in her eyes . His breath fanned on her face as they were very close in a small space .

Soon some footsteps followed with a loud noise making Siya squirm in fear.

“ What did he do ?. Can’t you all do a single thing properly” The man in black mask screamed at others as he punched the wall making Siya jump on her stop but the unknown man held her in her place.

“Let’s go, he wouldn’t have gone so far , being injured and unarmed” the masked man said signaling to others to follow him.

As all the man went away Siya tried to wiggle in his grip to get away as he looked at her action precisely.

“ What ?” He asked , looking into her eyes , not removing his hand from her mouth.

“ hmm hmm hmm” her voice muffled as she tried to speak , glaring at him.

He removed the hand from her mouth as she pushed him away a little glaring at him.

She came out of the corner pushing him as his injured hand collided with the wall making him hiss.

Turning around she looked at him and saw blood flowing from his forearm through the deep cut.

“ Oh my god , sorry sorry “ she apologized, taking his hand in hers carefully observing the wound she pulled him away made him sit on the nearby bench.

Pulling her bag from her shoulder she started shuffling her hand inside to find something.

A moment later she pulled her scarf from the bag and put her bag aside.

“ I’m sorry I won’t be able to take you to my home to treat your wound . The landlord lady will kill me if I bring any boy in the house.” She mumbled in a low voice being scared of the landlord as she started circling the scarf around his wound.

“ I’m not a boy , kid ” he snapped, getting offended by her words as she stopped her work looking straight into his eyes.

“ Ok but I’m not kid , I’m 18 years old” she as well snapped back hearing him referring to her little. Which was absolutely right she might be in adult age as she crossed eighteen but her height was short and he saw the difference when he had pinned her to the wall a few moments ago.

“ Hm” he just hummed in response not wanting to stress anyone as she tied the scarf around his wounded hand tightly.

“ This will stop the bleeding sir . But you need to see the doctor” she commented, taking her bag from the table as she turned to walk away.

“Why did you do that ?You could have just left it” he asked, gripping her wrist, stopping her in her tracks.

“ Because Sometimes, the comfort of a stranger speaking is better than no one,” she remarked, pulling her hands from his grip and walking away without looking at him, leaving him astonished.
