Chapter - 4

Ragu's eyes burnt in anger, Priya felt horror by seeing his bloodshot eyes and she moved back. "You b***dy b**ch, how dare you raise your hand on me, you are going to pay for your sin, I'll make your life hell" he roared in anger and held her hand tightly. She couldn't get out of his hold. So, she beat his hand vigorously, but it increased his rage.

He slapped her and when he was about to touch her dupatta, he felt a hard punch on his face. His vision was blurred. He managed to see the person who punched him. There stood him. He was taller to him, he also had unreasonably pretty sharp black eyes which were now burning like a fire in anger. He punched once again, now he lost his conscious. His friends came forward to fight with him, but his single look made them stay in their places. He didn't utter a word and Priya looked at him thankfully. He left that place. Everyone looked at him like an action hero.

Ragu had not gained his conscious yet. His friends carried him to the nearby medical room to give first-aid. Priya left that place immediately. She reached her classroom safely. She breathed in relief only after reaching her class. She decided to file a complaint against him to the management. Everyone in her class knew about the incident happened that day. Some girls came forward and gave her water and asked her to relax. Priya thanked them.

After relaxing, Priya asked about the boys who teased her. They said that Ragu was the son of a politician and no one dared to question him there. So, he was doing all those cruel activities and till then no one dared to oppose him. Priya asked about the person who saved her. But to her surprise they too didn’t know about the person.

She mentally thanked the person who saved her, she couldn't imagine what would have happened if he didn't come there at the correct time. She thanked God too and started to talk with her classmates. The first two hours they were free, and no lecturers came. After a tea break, a lecturer came and introduced himself as their class tutor. He asked everyone to give self-introduction.

Everyone started to give self-introduction. At that time, a doughty voice interrupted them. Everyone turned towards the direction from where the voice came, and they were surprised as well as shocked to see him standing there.

"May I come in" there came a bold voice from the entrance. Everyone turned towards the direction of entrance and they were surprised to see him there. He was the one who punched Ragu that morning and formed as a hero among the students.

Lecturer asked him to get inside. He directly walked to the last bench and sat casually. Every other student looked at him like an alien. Priya was happy to see him there, she wished to thank him for helping her.

Everyone started to give self-introduction and finally, it was his turn. Everyone was eager to know about him and were waiting for his turn to introduce himself. He stood in front of his classmates and he started his introduction. Everyone stared at him.

"Hi friends, I guess every one of you might know me by all your facial expressions and please don't give these serious expressions, let's forget what happened this morning and talk normally. Let's rock these 4yrs and we should make best memories here. There is nothing much to talk about me. Self-confidence and attitude are my strength, my only goal is to win... that's it and I'm Krishna, you guys can call me Krish?" he said with a breath taking smile. With that he returned to his place.

Everyone thought that he would be rude but after his self intro everyone understood his true nature. He was very jovial and friendly. After that hour, it was lunch break. Priya decided to thank him.

Everyone started to move out of the classroom. Priya rushed to his place, he lifted his head and saw her. He smiled looking at her. “I’m Priya" she said with a smile. "Hi Priya" he replied.

"Thank you so much" Priya said emotionally. "Hey, chill! It’s nothing and be bold always, don't panic. Always face the situation and try to escape from it wisely" he said normally. Priya smiled and nodded.

"You're going to have lunch right, why don't you join me?" Priya asked him. "Sorry Priya! tomorrow I'll join you. Today I'm going out for lunch with my friend" he apologized. Priya smiled and replied, "it's okay". Then he went out and Priya headed to the Cafeteria.

She found a place for her and opened her lunch box. She badly missed her best friend Meera. She thought to call her, and she too wanted to tell everything that happened that day. She took her mobile and dialed Meera's number. Meera attended the call in third ring. "Hi darling, how is your first day going on?" she asked happily.

She was okay till that, but after hearing Meera's voice she lost her control and started crying. Meera was shocked to hear her weeping. She consoled her and asked her to calm down. Finally, Priya relaxed and told everything happened that day. Meera was shocked when Priya said about the ragging scenario.

She relaxed a bit, after hearing the whole thing. Meera was worried as she was not with her to console her. Then she talked about some other topic to change her mood, she added some funny incidents and finally, Priya laughed. Meera felt relaxed only after hearing her laughter. "Okay, let's meet this weekend" Meera said. Priya jumped in happiness. After that they hung up. Priya started having her food.

Afternoon students started to interact with each other. Priya mingled with few girls and they discussed some random stuffs. Krishna easily mingled with people and half of the class befriended him. He was very friendly with his classmates. They enjoyed that afternoon session.

After the phone conversation with Priya, Meera felt sad, and she worried about her bestie. She badly wanted to see her. She knew about Priya, very soft and kind from heart and sensitive. She was also like Meera, very emotional. She knew how her friend would have suffered in that horrible situation. She mentally thanked god for saving her in that situation. She also thought to thank Krishna for saving her friend and decided to meet him too.
