Chapter 1- library
Niharika
"Bro! Atleast tell what happened. Why are you a mess?" Jules said while giving me a tissue.
I took it and wiped my messed up make up.
Wasted my eye liner over a piece of shit.
"Now. What's the matter? You went to the library and? What happen after?" Jules asked again.
"I went to the library to take a book. Siddhant was there" i replied while looking outside the empty classroom's window.
Siddhant is—actully was—my boyfriend. He proposed me last year and everything was fine between us but...
"while leaving, my eyes went to the corner book and..." i closed my eyes remembering the scene.
"And?" Jules asked curiously.
"He was kissing Tia" I somehow managed to say.
"No way!! Tia? Your step sister?" I nodded.
The way he was holding the tia's waist and kissing her, it felt like it's not the first time.
"I can't believe it. I knew Siddhant is piece of trash it Tia? How can she do this to her own sister?!" Jules said in a low voice.
"You know what, don't think about them, let's go to the club, atleast it will divert your mind from him." Jules replied while standing.
She was right, I was blinded by Siddhant's fake gestures. Everyone knew Siddhant is a Playboy but I thought my love could change him
"No J, not today. I already had alot. Now all i want is to sleep."
"It's ok babe. Take your time to heal." Jules hugged me and left with her bodyguard.
Jules is not a ordinary person like me, she belongs to a very reputed family. Her mom is a lawyer and her dad a business man.
Sometimes I feel jealous of her.
She has everything. Good and supportive parents, Happy Life and... freedom.
I closed my eyes and took some deep breaths to relax myself and headed towards my apartment.
On my way, i saw a new cafe.
'between the lines'
The name was very unique which attracted me.
I went inside and sat at the nearest empty table i could find.
8:48pm
I can have some time here.
"One coffee pelease"
"Sure ma'am"
I gave my order and opened the book i took from the library and got lost in the pages.
Hopefully it will divert my mind.
...
"Excuse me ma'am, i sorry to disturb but we are about to close"
The lady said sweetly.
Only then i realised it's 9:45pm
OMG!
For how long I have been sitting here.
I looked around and saw the empty coffee cup in front of me.
"I'm sorry" i quickly paid, kept the book in my bag and exited the cafe.
"Damm, the book is revelating" i said to myself and laughed.
Soon i reached my apartment. The streets are more silent than usual. Maybe because i have never done this late to return.
I changed in my night suit and jumped on my bed.
"Hushh!... finally some sleep".
...
My eyes shot opened from a loud sound from outside my window.
3.
I quickly wore my slippers and took a knife in my hand for safety.
Taking slow steps, i opened my main gate and saw something—or someone— moving.
I gripped my knife harder and went close.
"Ahh" a painful huss came from the bush.
It's a man. A MAN!
