Chapter 2

I have some interest in 'Electronics devices' so I attended a lot of seminars and eventually got a scholarship and now l am here to start my career as a fresher. As of saying myself, I'm from a middle-class family and I am very happy about that too. I never compare myself to others especially rich peoples, because I can't exactly say whether they all are really happy in their lives. My father is a fisherman and my mother is a housewife, these two are the very most important peoples in my life and they always support my decision. When I said I'm leaving Chennai for my studies they got upset. Later they understood and compromised themselves. My family has an average background. We are not poor, nor rich. We have the ability to fulfil our everyday necessities. I have one younger brother named 'Karem' who is studying in his 12th grade. But no one ever tells he is the younger the way he behaves. He is so protective when it comes to his elder sister and would always treat me as a child. Sometimes I too doubt myself that who is the younger one here. He is a caring and lovable person. I really missed him. My little boy. Once the bell rang, everyone went outside. It's break time, so I planned to go to the cafeteria to get me a brunch since I hadn't eaten anything from the morning and my stomach became to grumble loudly begging for food. I don't have any friends here and I didn't find anyone yet. "It may take time." I convinced myself and with that being said, I walked towards the direction of the cafeteria to have a wonderful breakfast and coffee but things turned out in another way. Karma is really a good friend and it will follow wherever you go even though you weren't committed any sin. Even before I could enter the cafeteria, a hand grabbed my arms and shoved me against the wall making myself gasp. His grip on my shoulder was strong and firm enough to leave a mark there. A painful, yet, small whimper let out of my mouth when I saw the owner of those two strong arms. He was none other than the crazy boy who I met in the morning, who claimed me as his doll. I looked into the furious red looking eyes that sent a cold shiver into my spine. If a look could kill anyone then I was dead now, no doubt. "What did I tell you in the morning?" He roared. Ohh! Jesus!!!! I am in the biggest trouble. * Sheila's POV: He is looking at me furiously like I snatched his favourite chocolate from him and disposed in the dustbin, but I didn't get the exact reason? Little did I can predict the objective, but not sure if my assumption was right. He can't be serious when he claimed me as his doll, right? "What I told you in the morning?" he asked, no almost yelled. Hearing his dark voice, the remaining colour I had in my body drained out. Then he let go of my hand and turned his attention to the students. "Listen! Here, my doll made an unforgettable mistake. So, I am going to punish her, so that she will learn her lesson, the lesson would make her never repeat the same mistake in any future. Am I right?" He asked looking at the bunch of students. Everyone in the cafeteria cheered in loud voice as "Yes! Yes!" Seems no one has any heart. They found this funny while I'm suffering under his cruel gaze. He again turned his attention towards me and said, "Guys! You can order whatever you want to eat because my doll is going to pay for us." The announcement caused them to cheer happily in nth time while I was standing there with wide eyes, completely lost in my own thoughts. He can't be serious!!! How I am going to make that payment. There are lots of students here and the consequence will cause severe loss which may exceed more than my monthly allowance. "I can't." I whispered, but somehow my voice came like a small breath. I was shaking internally as the moment feeling like someone poured me a bucket of ice cube through my face. I don't have enough money for that. I get 1000rs for my monthly allowance, and I would manage all my expenses within the limits. That's enough for me anyway because I'm not the kind of girl who would waste their parent's money on simply partying and shopping. "You have to pay or else you have to face the consequences for what you did, which will more horrible than you could imagine in your dream," he warned. I heard the increasing rhythm of my heavy heartbeat and worries hitched my face as if it continues, I will die of a heart attack. I rubbed the spot where I felt the faint pain to calm my sense. "Got it?" He asked me again when I didn't respond to his first question. I could feel the seriousness in his voice. So I nodded my head to avoid the consequence and looked at the ground even though I wanted to scream with my heart out. Tears are threatening to come out but I blinked it back to save my dignity. I am not going to show my weakness to anyone, most importantly in front of him. He was taking advantage of me and my inability. I'm a first-year student here and no one will come for my rescue. "Good girl, Now go and get me a coffee," He ordered and took a seat beside the table. Everyone ordered their food and thanked me as I was doing this my wholeheartedly. I get him his coffee and the monster is taking his own time to finish his coffee while I was standing beside him like a server as he was my VIP customer. It has almost an hour passed, yet, he didn't finish his coffee.
