Destiny

Mafia Man

Srivi's POV:

"Woah..yay.Yipee"Sasha started squealing from the dining room.

"you dumb, oops scholar ass, why are you squealing this early in the morning? shut up and let me sleep"I yelled being irritated.

She smiled wide and pulled me into a hug and started twirling me.

"Stop, stop"I made her stop. "what happened?"I asked.

"The package gonna arrive," she said.

"What package?"I asked being annoyed.

"Dude, the one mum is sending me," she said.

"And you are excited about that?"I asked. I fall onto the couch with a thud sound, groaning while catching my temple.

"Yeah, because it's like a present you know, obviously I am excited and curious about what she has sent me"Sasha smiled.

I gave a tight smile. I wanted to give a natural one but my headache didn't help "I am excited for you" I said.

"Are you alright?" she asked being concerned.

"Bad headache" I replied while rubbing my forehead.

"Ah.. wait I will get your medicine," she said and went into the kitchen. After a couple of minutes, a heavenly Smell of coffee hit my nose and I smile.

She brought coffee in my mug *HOPE* engraved on it. I took, more like I snatch the coffee from her hands. It's magical how coffee has its effect on me, even by smelling it I can feel my headache is getting better.

I took a sip and gave her a thankful smile. The apartment feels silent.

"Where is Kri?"I asked.

"Went jogging "She replied and that is unusual.

Kri is having a lot in her mind, I can guess that and I feel guilty already. What kind of friend am I? I'm just lost in my problems and not being there for her. Most of the time I am spending My time wondering about David and I am not liking it much.

He is absent for a week now. Did he really let go of me? Won't he be coming back? Thoughts like this are killing me and worst of all the thought is "what if he is in danger? What if someone attacks him? What if he.."I didn't like such thoughts they are scaring me and weird enough making my eyes blurry.

I know David is strong and no one can touch him let alone harm him. He is strong, he is safe. All is well, these are the word I kept on saying to myself. He is the sole reason for this headache now.

Almost half of the night I was thinking and kept worrying about him and said bye to my sleep. I was falling asleep finally and Sasha woke me up with her exciting screams.

"Come on, go and get ready," Sasha said.

"What about Kri?"I asked.

"She is taking a break and I hope she knows what she's doing," Sasha said. I got up and went into my room.

I got ready. I looked at myself in the mirror. I tried to smile, I think he took my smile with him and left me with his poker face. I am not liking to go to college. Blame him. He cast a spell on me. I was not like this before.

I never cared about any boy in my life. he is the first one. I took a deep breath

"You don't care about him, you can do this, none of this makes any difference"I let out these words and release my breath.

I left my room with a smile. We both reached the college and parted ways. I tried hard to concentrate on the lecture.

"Time for the assignment, "Our mam said.

I woke up from my open eye sleep. Huh? Assignment? Already?

"Choose your own topic. You can write anything and it should be a short story" she said and left the room.

I wanted to have fresh air so opted for my best place. Under a tree and I drifted in my thoughts and let me say it's about David again.

I relive my memory when I saw someone and wondered if he was David and then he turned out to be David. I chuckled at that memory. I brushed off all my thoughts.

If this goes on my entire mind will be filled up about David and I don't want that. It's high time I should keep an end to this and it can be only done by hating him. More like not liking him and when I thought about the reasons, my mind automatically wandered when we first met.

He kept me hostage. Ok exaggerated but it's more like a hostage and an idea of POP inside my mind. The story for my assignment. I will write about him and only about hating him.

The title will be "MR.MAFIA".

The rest of the day I kept thinking about the times he used to prick my nerves. And let me tell you that count, it's almost all the time can you believe that?

We reached our apartment. When I got in I could not feel Kri's presence, maybe she went out. I watched Sasha departing to her room and by looking at her face, I'm sure that she is in deep thoughts.

I don't know what's getting wrong with us friends, no one seems content, trust me we all look lost.

I got into the room and before that, I informed Sasha that not to disturb me and I'm gonna skip my dinner. she just nodded as I said before she lost in her thoughts.

Got onto my bed, opened my Laptop, and closed my eyes to think about how to start, what to start and where to start.

I clapped and smiled wide when the bulb in my brain turned on.

"Mr.Mafia" I kept the title.

I started by describing David, I named him Dev. He looks tough, strong, sharp and he is the best among all, feared by many.

Then I started describing myself, hehe I exaggerated it a little.

Soft as a flower, wild as the wind, pleasant as the sea, calm as nature but a storm within. Loved by all, hated by few, got luck in friendship, and never believed in love. She's Athira

I named myself Athira, that sounds good to my mouth. I closed my eyes and focused on the memories of the day when I met David A.K.A Dev.

He bought me like a slut.Kept me as a hostage. Never let me go, was always tough with me, never showed a bit of love, involved me in an attack, and left me with a scar.

I always dreamt of Prince charming but never imagined about struck with the Beauty and the beast.

But thinking about the times when he hurt me, made me dislike him more. That's not the way I wanted to be treated. That's not the way I should be treated.

It is always the pain when I was with him and a traitor tear rolled down my cheek.

"I should be loved. I should be treated with dignity and respect and not with power, ego, or some other thing"Athira said out loud to Dev and left the mansion.

She felt like a bird that flew to the sky from the cage. carefree and with freedom.

The story of a girl who escaped being a pawn of the Mafia man. Who got free from his grip.

I yawn a closed the lappy. Uff I feel satisfied.
