"I didn't do this. Why would I pay for the mistake I didn't do? Besides that this dress is with her and in their arms. Then shouldn't you ask them to pay?" I retorted back.
"Because you did this so you have to pay for it," the helper snapped back.
"Have you seen it with your eyes? No, right then how can you just say like this," I questioned him back.
"I don't need to see it..look at you once now. How are you looking? Anyone can say that you are the type of girl who can do these types of things. So, just pay for it or I will call the police," she warned.
"Then call them and I will tell them what happened here. They will check the CCTV footage and they will catch the culprit," I snapped back at her.
"Ok, I am going to call now," the helper said and was about to turn back.
"Oh, so you want to call the police because you feel that her dress is not suitable?" We all heard a voice. We turned to the source of the sound and seeing the person standing there I smiled brightly. By seeing that person the helper shivered. I wondered why she was serving like that.
"Why are you here?" I questioned him. There Abhi was standing with his cold face. The general calm face was resonating the most dangerous vibes. He is looking so cold. He came forward and rubbed his hand on my head. He gave me a slight smile which vanished within a second. He turned to the helper and then folded his hands.
"S...si.. sir," she started stammering.
"So, from when did you guys start judging a person by their look?" He questioned her and then turned to the girls.
"What are you girls doing here? If you want you can buy and go. Why are you creating a problem for her? Are you not satisfied with the torture you are giving to her in the University?" He questioned her. They shivered seeing his gaze towards them.
"We….we….didn…. didn't done.. anything wrong. She...she...is the.. one who spoiled the dress," the girls said by stammering in their words. He smirked hearing them.
"Are you sure?" He questioned them.
"Ye..yes," they answered and I sneered at them. He turned to me and his eyes turned gentle and calm unlike the eyes he showed to those girls and the helper.
"Tell me what happened?" He questioned me.
"I was," I started narrating the whole scenario and he just listened calmly. He nodded his head and then turned to the helper,
"Show me the footage right now." He ordered the helper and she nodded her head calmly and he asked all of us to follow him. He held my hand and took me along with him. We entered the security room and then the person there stood up and greeted Abhi.
"Show me the video from one hour before camera number 6," he ordered and then he started playing the video. In that it was clearly shown that they poured the drink on the dress and how they made me a victim of their target. He didn't utter a single word and walked out from there. We followed him and then he turned to the helper and said,
"Call your manager, right now."
"So.. Sorry sir," she apologized to him and he glared at him.
"I said call your manager right now." He roared at her. I shivered hearing his voice. Seeing me shivering he wrapped his hand around my shoulder and said,
"I am sorry. Calm down, I didn't mean to scare you." Hearing his voice the manager of the store came running. Seeing him there he bowed his head and said,
"Sir...I'm sorry for not receiving you properly," he said by lowering his head.
"What's happening here? Is this the way you run your store?" He questioned him.
"Sir, I don't know this would happen but this is not the way we behave," he said but I can see that his forehead is covered with sweat.
"You should have some shame. You are saying you don't know how this happened. Being a manager it's your responsibility to take care of the situations that are happening here," he said and then paused.
"I want an immediate action for this," he demanded the manager. He nodded his head and then turned to the helper and said,
"You are fired." That girl looked at me and then at Abhi in shock and started apologizing immediately.
"Sir, please forgive me. I am sorry from next time I won't let all this happen again. I will take care," she pleaded with him.
"I think I am not the one you should be apologizing to," he said with a scornful look. She turned to me and he ordered her to kneel down. I was out of words seeing his side.
"Ma'am, sorry, I was being rude and forgot my ethics. I forgot that every customer is important..please forgive me ma'am. I can't afford to lose this job as I have a family to take care of," she pleaded with me by sitting on her knees.
"Now, leave from here right now. You don't need to apologise. The girl like you will bring the bad name to the shop," the manager scolded her.
"Wait, Abhi, can I talk?" I questioned him and he nodded his head.
"First get up from the floor. Now even if you apologise by holding my legs or by kneeling down it won't erase the memory of today. Not every girl who looks common is bad. Never repeat this mistake again. You are still at a young age and there is a long way to go. Take this as your lesson and learn how to behave," I suggested her by pulling her up from the ground then I turned to Abhi and said,
"Abhi, the mistake is not from her side. She was manipulated and just trusted whatever they said. Even though she insulted me, I gave her one more chance. Don't fire her.. please," I pleaded. He looked at me and then at the helper.
