Girl with the Billionaire

Forest trip-5

In the night...

Everyone is curious about what the book is about?? Tell me what is it? Rahul asked me.

I won't tell you, I'll show you I said... Everyone got confused. I quickly connected my phone to the TV. It's displaying the photos from my phone slowly...

Everyone focused on the TV. The photos of the book started to display, everyone was shocked to see that? immediately their eyes fell on me with intense.

Oh my gosh!! this woman looking exactly like you... Anusha shouted.

Yes, I don't know anything about it, I was surprised too.

Why there are only some pictures? Lavanya asked. That was a whole damn book I can't take all the pictures I said. Did you read that book? Pruthvi asked. No, I didn't I saw only some pictures at the beginning I said.

It's already 10:00 pm, everyone, we will discuss this tomorrow Anusha said.

Everyone went to their rooms except me, Lavanya and Pruthvi. That was total silence between us, we are looking at our faces but no one talking. Finally, Lavanya said, I'm going to sleep, you can come whenever you want as she signaled her eyes to Pruthvi. What? I didn't understand her and I'm about to ask her but she left there. I don't know what to do there so I got up and was about to go but Pruthvi stopped me. Wait a minute;

I looked at him, he said with a cold face sit down I wanna talk to you.

I sat down quickly without questioning him. He didn't speak anything for few minutes. What? I asked him. As he looked at me furiously. What happened? I asked him in a panic tone. He moved next to me and sit close to me. What are you doing? I asked him. He signaled as shhh...

He opened his mobile and showed me some pictures. I was shocked. How do you know this? Did you read that book? Do you know that old man? as he showed me the exact pictures that I saw in the book.

He said That day when you came to my room and said you have seen a cat. I really didn't believe that. What? you didn't believe me? I asked. Yes, but the next day I woke up in the middle of my sleep due to that cat and I thought that was a homeless cat but it has a tag on her neck so it's not homeless, then I followed that cat and it went to that home. On the day I went to his home and he showed me everything.

What? really? Did you read that book? I asked. Yes, I read it but don't read that book and don't dare go to his home again. What? why should I? I'll go and read it... I said and got up from the sofa. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him and I fall on him.

My face was an inch distant from his face. He looked into my eyes and said don't dare to do that, I don't know what I'll do if you do that. I pushed him and got up and said do whatever you want, I'll do what I like. I ran towards my room leaving him speechless.

The next day, I woke up early to go to that old man's place. I quickly took my camera and messaged Lavanya to go to the old man's place. Then I opened my door, I was surprised to see Pruthvi there, he slightly leaned against the wall and standing beside my door.

He turned to me and asked where are you going? I said I'm going to the forest to take pictures, I showed him the camera.

Oh, seriously? he asked and looked at me sharply. yea.. yeah... I said.

He is nothing to me. So I said, Why should I tell you? I'll go wherever I want. And I'm about to go but he seized my hands and pinned me to the wall.

Are you insane? why are doing this to me? I asked him angrily. Do you know whom you are shouting at? I'll show you my power if you go against me he said with a furious tone.

I was the frightening cause of his voice over me. I have nothing to do with him but why I'm frightened of him? I looked down cause I can't see into his eyes. After a few minutes, he moved from me and said if you want to go anywhere, don't go lonely. I looked at him then he said let's go. I asked him where? he walked towards me and said I think you are going to the old man's home then he patted my head gently and started walking outside. Is he mad? did he just changed his mood from angry to cool, didn't he? I don't understand him anyway. I ran after him.

We are walking in the forest, out of curiosity I asked him what is there in the book? anything related to me. I'm asking him questions continuously without any break. He looked at me and asked can you please stop asking me questions? if you open your mouth once again I'll leave you here lonely he said. Ok, I'll go myself I said. Ok fine you can go but for your kind information yesterday we saw a tiger which is roaming here he said and turned back to go. What? tiger, I shouted. I ran to him, ok I'm sorry I won't open my mouth until we reach home I said.

That's good for you he said and we walked to his home again.

After some time we reached his home. I ran towards the door and was about to knock, but Pruthvi stopped me and said, " Wait, I'll handle this. I showed him my hands as ok.

He knocked on the door the old man opened the door and asked him why are you here again?

I popped up from his behind and said hello to him. The grandpa's expression changed from annoying to smile.

Hey, you were here, come inside as he welcomed us inside.

He said us sit there and went inside.

Hey ya, why is he annoyed at you? I asked him. He said, I scolded him not to send that cat again to our place. What to do that with that cat? I asked. Pruthvi said the old man said he is sending that cat to protect us. What?

Yeah, exactly my reaction too. So I said him not to send and I said him I'll not come here again. I gave him an oh expression.

The old man came out with some water and tea in his hands. He placed it on the table and asked us to drink it.

Without wasting time I asked him about that book. Ok wait here I'll bring it he said. I said I'll come with you, he said ok and we went inside. He gave me the book and said keep it safe and give it back to me after you read it he said. I said ok to him. Then he gave me the locket which exactly looks like me. I checked my neck but it was not missing. He said, your friend dropped it here when he came last time. You mean that boy who came with me now, did he dropped it here? I asked him. He said yes and give it to him back. I said ok.

We went outside and Pruthvi waiting for me. Pruthvi said let's go back. Why? he looked at me coldly. Ok fine, I said to him. Grandpa see you again I said and we left from there.

We are walking in the forest and middle of that I stopped him.

What? he looked at me confusingly... I showed him the locket and he was surprised. Where did you found this locket? It is from "my childhood friend"... tell me the truth I asked him.
