"Whatever Happens, Happens For A Reason" True or False...Ch 4

Neha was scared. Scared to admit, scared to touch Abhishek again. She had felt the thickness in the air and the current which had passed when she had touched Abhishek. Had he felt that too? Or was it nothing to him, she bet it meant nothing to him. But she also knew that she just wanted to think the worst of him and was looking for an excuse. Her gaze was drawn to him when she had felt his eyes on her. Neha also knew before the bus incident also she had seen him staring at her, she had felt the butterflies in her stomach and when their eyes met she was sure she wouldn’t have noticed anything else happening around. But now she was being sensible again and will forget what had passed between her and Abhishek.

They reached station in silence, Ayesha had stopped crying now but she was still looking little frightened. Others had seen them coming and now a little group of people were waiting for them. As soon as they came near the group Abhishek kept Ayesha down and a guy stood to give Ayesha place to sit. Questions were asked from the people gathered, avoiding them Abhishek went out of the crowd and as Ayesha was already frightened Neha made her sit and she crouched in front of her to remove her backpack. Neha did not answer the questions asked from people; she was more concerned about Ayesha. In the bus she was too distracted to notice Ayesha. She had what was called an angel face, a round chubby face with fair skin. Her eyes were blue which was rare for her and she had black curly hair which was now in mess. And more she had the innocence of an angel face, after crying now her pretty eyes were red and she was looking at all the faces around her.

Abhishek came with a bottle of water and milk in cup, Neha didn’t want to feel warm inside just because he got milk for the small girl. That was what a sweet guy would do, and Neha didn’t want him to be sweet. Just like Neha he also knew that Ayesha was frightened and the people around them were scaring her more. He ignored the people around and gave water to Ayesha to drink. Suddenly from the crowd a sexy girl in skin tight jeans and same skin tight top came running towards Abhishek and hugged him. Ayesha got scared of her scream as the sexy girl wrapped herself around Abhishek. So Neha went to sit next to Ayesha and kept an arm around her indicating that even if Abhishek walks with THAT sexy girl she would be around Ayesha. Well that was also an excuse her to see the girl properly, she was just the type Neha envied. She had everything perfect. Perfect brown eyes, perfect slim figure, perfect straight hair, and perfect sexy voice. Everything in a girl that a guy would want and everything she didn’t have. But who wanted Abhishek, he was nobody. His beautiful face no big deal, nor were his strong arms anything to think about. His soothing voice could melt every bone in your body but who wanted to melt their bones? "I do" Neha got the answer from herself she ignored the answer.

"Who is that girl, Neha didi?" Ayesha asked Neha, and thankfully Neha was out of her sad thinking. She tightened her hands around Ayesha and answered "Maybe she is Abhishek’s girl friend" Neha hated herself to feel hurt to say that. But that was the reality she had to hold, just because something sparked between them and she saw him looking at her didn’t mean he liked her, he was a GUY after all and a girl friend or a wife won’t stop him looking at other girls. Neha ignored Abhishek and his SEXY girlfriend and lifted the cup of milk for Ayesha. She was urging Ayesha to drink the milk. Neha herself hated it, but something are better not told to anyone. She was worried about Ayesha as she was warm and according to her Ayesha might have fever. If her fever increases they will have a problem. Ayesha after little urging drank the milk, Neha wiped her mouth and set the cup aside. She was looking at Abhishek and THAT girl from corner of her eyes, FINALLY he had separated that girl from himself and that SEXY girl was still standing close to him talking. And the gathered crowd was now looking at the GIRLFRIEND of Abhishek. Well Neha won’t be bothered by him and his girlfriend she was happy to take care of Ayesha, after all she had looked after Nina her own young sister for a long time.

Abhishek liked girls and he liked to be needed also but not at the wrong time. And bloody hell this was a wrong time, he wanted to help Ayesha but Lasika was behaving as if he had her left her at the platform and gone to war. More Abhishek hated being public spectacle and Lasika’s advances might have been welcome may be at a different time and place. God knew he was a human after all and he could not very well control his body’s reaction. He never had a serious relationship with anyone, not that he was afraid to commitment but somehow he got girls who knew the score, his bhabhi always said that he was going in wrong circles and he will never find a good girl. But who wanted a good girl when he could enjoy a bad one but today this bad girl was pushing her luck. He ignored the tiny voice answering the question of why he was not happy about Lasika’s advances but Abhishek didn’t want to listen to that answer. In lieu of his body his eyes went towards Neha, who was sitting with Ayesha. Ayesha had finished the milk and now she was looking at him in question. He moved Lasika aside and looked at her, "Lasika, there was a small girl in the bus ALONE, and when I saw her I went to take her from the bus. I have not done anything else. And it was just across the road" While saying this he turned her towards Ayesha.

"Ayesha this is Lasika whom I met at the platform. And Lasika this is Ayesha for whom I went to the bus." He knew he had deliberately cleared that he had met Lasika at the platform so Ayesha will think the worst of him. Who was he kidding he had specified that for Neha, there it was out. While Lasika was clinging to him he had his attention on Neha. He had heard the answer Neha had given to Ayesha about Lasika being his girlfriend. He wanted his record clear with her; god knew she always thought worst of him as if he was a monster. He then turned and introduced Neha and Lasika, they nodded to each other.

"Neha di, I want to pee" Ayesha broke the silence, and Neha was looking at him saw the awestruck expression on his face.

"Yeah Ayesha, I’ll take you, one minute" Neha stood and came in front of him. "Do you know any place where i can take her?"

Abhishek was grateful of Neha for being there so much that he would have done anything for her, he could not think the scenario if Neha would not have come. He was good with small girls but not for this. God bless Neha for her presence that he wouldn’t have to take Ayesha to pee. He was looking at her with gratitude when she leaned and whispered the question again thinking he had not heard it the first time, and all the thoughts evaporated from his mind. Her skin was beautiful soft, when she had come near to whisper in his ear; he had glimpse of her neck which he wanted to taste badly or just one suck, no sorry but only twice. He wanted to remove her dress from the shoulder and bite her there, or he could just turn his head and kiss the beautiful cheek. His mind was full of ideas of doing things to her, her scent was drugging hi, unlike Lasika there was no perfume but her smell was better than any expensive perfume. He leaned more and breathed in Neha's smell which was mixed with rain now and had become more irresistible. He forgot what Neha had asked he forgot Lasika and also Ayesha. When he was silent for long time Neha looked up at him and there was it again. The need, the heat and the attraction they both were aware of it.

"I think I know a place where you can take the small girl." This came from woman behind them, she was smiling at them. Neha took a step back from Abhishek and from the attraction she had felt. And Abhishek felt her retreat, he wanted to take her hand and bring her back but he didn’t.
