chapter 19
Sunbeam : The Beam of Love
After 10 minutes I came back carrying the bag having napkins. I searched for her in the hall and kitchen. She wasn't there. I went to her room running. I called her, "Are you there? Aisha?""Mr. Ashton.. I'm in washroom.. I will open the door slightly.. just keep it on the floor.." She answered hurriedly."Ohh okay..." I kept the bag inside the slightly opened door. And turned back around. I walked back in the hall. I cooked breakfast for us. Hot veg soup and pastry. I ordered some chocolates online. She came down after sometime with a hot water bag in her hand. I took bag from her hand and made her sit on the dining chair which I made more comfortable by keeping pillows. She smiled after seeing all this. I prepared her hot water bag until the chocolates I ordered arrived. She was still waiting for me to join her. "What are you waiting for? Don't you want to do breakfast?" I asked her. She said slowly, "Let's have together. Please."I can't reject her. She is already looking more attractive today. And I have listened about the mood swings girls face in their periods. So I sat infront of her quietly. She smiled at me. After some bites of pastry she started, "Thanks for today. But why did you brought so much packs?"She is talking about sanitary napkins packs. I brought every brand I got there. I didn't knew which one she uses. "Sorry.. I didn't knew which one you are used too with." She chuckled at my answer and simultaneously she kept her hand on her belly. Her expressions changed. I understood that she is suffering from cramps. I handed her the hot water bag. She kept it on her belly. "Are you okay?" I asked her worriedly."Yeah.." she smiled slightly. "Take a leave for today." "Nooo.. I can't..""Please.. You should rest for a day..." I ordered her.She made her puppy eyes and replied, "I will feel alone here. In the work atleast I can.. can make myself busy."I cannot reject those cute little puppy eyes. I missed those eyes in all these years. I nodded in okay. She smiled."I want to say something." She said while having her soup."Go ahead.." I said."Sorry for yesterday. I just... Just wanted to get out of the situation." She said with a sad face, strongly demanding for apology. "It's okay.." I smiled as inner me wanted to hug her tightly and just shout out that I really.. really love her a lot. This woman isn't aware what she is doing to me. Her words made me remember the time when I met her first time.Flashback:It was our graduation day. Chris and me were admiring the whole university last time with our eyes filled with tears of memories. We went to meet our teachers and roamed every classroom we have sat in. We all recalled our memories. We were called for graduation day pledge. Our juniors made it more special. They prepared a farewell by arranging lots of games and other things. Though it was our last day there, some new students were going to join the university too. And some of my batchmates were making fun with them or I should say they bullied them. I saw her that day first time in my life. The first girl I looked continuously for more than 10 seconds. I loved her uniqueness. While passing through the corridor we hitted each other. She had the bunch of our speech papers in the cardboard box. It fell down when we got hit. She looked at me and got scared, "I'm so sorry senior. I didn't mean to do this." She bowed before me. "It's okay.. it's not completely your fault.. it's mine too" I said while my eyes moved on her frightened face. I helped her to pick everything. I saw her beautiful eyes looking at the floor for whole time. Her face clearly showed that she was uncomfortable and definitely frightened of someone. She went running to the venue. We went to get fresh. When we came out we walked to auditorium. I saw group of my batchmates in a crowd. We went there. Inside the crowd was a little girl. The same girl I hitted outside. She was standing still at her place looking at the floor while the Ryan (my classmate) standing just infront of her. He shouted, "On knees! Doll! " he smirked. He got closer to her. She looked at the crowd around her when Ryan shouted again, "I said on knees and don't move your eyes."She looked at the floor and sat on her knees. I felt worried. I can't stand looking at this. Her skirt was just upto her knees which revealed her knees now. She looked scared but she didn't cried. Ryan ordered with a smirk, "Now do something to impress your beloved seniors."My blood started burning. I tried to make way and stepped inside while many of the cruel guys were laughing and some were cheering "Impress us... Junior... Remove clothes..." My heart boiled. I went inside and shouted at Ryan , "Stop it Ryan! "He answered quickly, "Let us have fun buddy. It's the last day today."She held Ryan's leg and pulled it down making him fall on the ground. He screamed. She left his leg and went near the guy who shouted 'Remove clothes '. She held his collar and screamed loudly, "Remove clothes." He got scared. She left him and came back to Ryan. She bend near him. "On knees my pretty senior." She yelled while the crowd made sound. Woahhh! I started to love her from this moment. A devilish smirk plastered on her face. Ryan looked at her in anger. She chuckled, "I'm not as cruel as you. But let me have some fun with you. Isn't it your last day?" She took her purse and removed a lipstick from it. And started to colour on his face. She was smiling. Ryan was still laying on ground. She kept her lipstick back and stood up. She walked away from the crowd. I went near Ryan."Don't you want to get up now?" I said him. He smirked and got up from the place. After the crowd disappeared we headed in the auditorium. I saw her again. I asked Chris who was standing beside me, "Have you seen her before today?""Noo.. I think she's new.. maybe first year student. But why are you asking?"I smiled at myself.Flashback endedI smiled at myself in real. Her voice called me back. "Excuse me.... Mr. Ashton?"I got embarrassed and replied, "Yes.. do you need anything?""No.. Mr. Ashton.. we should go to office now..""Oh yes.. I will get ready in few minutes.."She nodded and smiled faintly. I will tell you everything on the day you accept me. I will prove that what you said yesterday was totally wrong and I have no other girl in my life except you....____________________________________ â¥ï¸
