You're Mine, Remember?

Confused,Misunderstood,Guilty?

Nidhi walked through the corridors, lost in her thoughts. That man looked familiar. His facial features, his body built, as well as his last name, matched Vardhaan's, as if they were twins or something.

That actually made her wonder, by any chance, were they related?? In any way??

She shook her head in disbelief and cursed herself. Any human being in the world can have the same kind of build, you never know, and maybe it was not that weird. Just because that Man, possibly one of three professors of the College and Vardhaan had the same built and the same persona, that doesn't mean that they would be related.

How dumb of you Nidhi !! Shut down that useless part of that brain of yours!!

She sighed and continued her way to her dorm, thanks to the detention that took so much of her time that she was saved from attending the rest of the lectures.

As she was about to enter her dorm, the same blinding aura that she had witnessed a little while ago in the library, blinded her senses yet again. But now, it was pretty known that this situation was to be tracked cleverly. So blocking one eye with her hand, she glanced at the source of the shining aura, only to find out that it was a girl who was wearing a mirrored dress, shining brightly. The girl blatantly ignored Nidhi, as she walked past her, dancing to the tunes of the song blazing through her headphones.

Nidhi face palmed and shook her head in mockery.

'Even after all these years, this bimbo's still the same. Hasn't change one bit !!'

Shivam dumped his coat on the ground and kicked his bed hard, trying pretty hard to control himself but his anger had reached up to the next level and he just wanted to destroy himself right then and there.

He got hold of the punching bag and punched it few times but his head pounded hard and he trembled a bit, falling down on the grind with a thud.

He shrieked in pain and agony, remembering his mother. How she used to care for him and how her sweet soothing voice used to some all his problems within minutes.

'Why did this happen to us Mom?? Why?? How come you got swayed in the charms of that b*St*rd?? Why??' he screamed on the top of his voice, trying too hard not to cry, but failing miserably. His mother was everything to him, but one incident and everything disappeared into thin air as if it was not even there in the first place.

And the only reason for his suffering was Abhay Suryanshi. Had he not appeared in their lives in the first place, he and his Mom would have been happy in their small world.

Only if they hadn't met him that day...

-------------------

A loud shrilling noise interrupted Nidhi's peaceful sleep, as she woke up with a start, looking here and there, trying to find the source of this disturbance. It was her idiotic roommate's alarm blazing through her phone, but she was too sleepy to even acknowledge her own alarm and was lost in the deep sea of her slumber.

She rubbed her eyes to rub off sleep from her eyes, and like a zombie, she got up and shook her head to wake her up. "Wake up Kavya !! Wake up damn you !! She herself sets the alarm and now she's only sleeping like a pig !!! What a cartoon !!"

She had no effect on Nidhi's blabbering and still kept snoring loudly. Nidhi gritted her teeth and without thinking further, kicked Kavya's ass hard, making her fall on the ground, and she woke up with a start, screaming at the top of her voice.

She shut her ears and sat on her bed with a sigh, massaging her temple as a headache had started to form in her head. Without looking at the questioning gaze of her roommate, she got up and opened the door to her cupboard, and grabbing her clothes, she exited the room to get ready, for day 2.

-----------------

Shivam shut the books scrambled around him and got up, his body begging to release all the muscles and float into the heaven of sleep. Too much studying and lack of sleep had done that. Also when it's an engineering and you don't want to do it!!

True, earlier Engineering had proved as a way to escape his miseries for the time being, but now he was regretting the decision, so hard!!

He stretched out his numb legs, trying to ease out his aching limbs that were cranked up while sitting at one place. All he now needed was a long, soothing hot shower. He had missed the classes, and he cursed his alarm clock for breaking up. Today's lectures were important and yet he had missed them. He was just mentally tired and needed a break. A bigger one though.

Picking up his towel, he walked out of his room and walked to the common washroom. But the moment he entered, an aroma of jasmine and lilies enveloped his senses, clouding his senses basically. He knew who this person was.

"JIGGY !! What the heck are you trying to do here?? Are you planning to turn this common washroom into your personal sauna center?? This is a limit that you have Dude, And I think I need to make you remember what I had told you last time", he roared at the boy, who looked startled by the sudden intrusion in his massaging business. He started shivering as Shivam's threat that made him remember the last time he had an encounter with the great bully. His bullying is another story, which he never wants to remember and he'll never forget for his entire life.

"Please forgive me Shivam, My muscles had strained so much that my mother had advised me to try the jasmine oil to massage my hair and sesame oil for body, this combination is very good in relieving your stress, and takes good care of your body. And hot water is like the cherry on the top. I was enjoying this so much that I totally forgot that this is the common washroom and not my personal washroom. Sorry, please forgive me !!", he hurriedly blurted out whatever was the case.

Shivam patiently listened to all the blabbering and felt like he can also extract some benefits from this Gujju boy. So smirking evilly, he walked towards Jiggy and struck the back of his head playfully."If that's the case then I'll forgive you, but only on one condition. Are you ready for it??", he raised his eyebrows, adding a dramatic pause, to making it scarier.

"Yes yes, whatever you say!!" he readily agreed, with a glint in his eyes. Shivam smiled.

In the next 20 minutes, Jiggy spent his time massaging Shivam's body with the sesame oil, focusing on the pressure points all over his body, mainly on the back. Shivam was enjoying the pampering, he was suddenly remembered of the time when he used to get the same treatment.

Only he never liked it back then!!

10 more minutes passed by and he motioned to Jiggy to stop. Jiggy quickly jumped back. Earlier he felt scared that Shivam might get angry if he made any mistake, but then his tensed body relaxed under his touch, and he instantly knew Shivam liked it. Shivam got up and stretched his legs, and then his hands. He felt totally fresh and relaxed. He forwarded his hand towards Jiggy for a handshake, maintaining a stone face. Jiggy felt scared, but something in him told him to shook hands anyway, but Shivam had something else in his mind, and he quickly engulfed Jiggy in a tight hug, resulting in all the oil on Shivam's body got pasted on Jiggy's clothes.

"Ahh Shivam, what did you do, now I'll have to take a bath yet again, you don't know how much difficult..." he stopped abruptly, realizing what blunder he was going to create and smiled nervously. Shivam chuckled and left to take a hot shower. A long hot shower.

Jiggy felt that it was better to leave them to awaken a sleeping lion.

"47,48..49 and 50. Hush !!!" Nidhi breathed some fresh air, after some heavy workout session, she felt fresh and her headache was almost gone.

She was thankful for her smart brain that worked at the right time and she quickly escaped the first chance she got, while she was attending a very boring lecture. And coincidentally, she came across the gym she had been dying to search for.

With a victorious smile, she quickly dashed towards her dorm and changed into her workout clothes. 3 hours of the workout had helped her a lot with the tiring headache and now she was feeling energized and full of freshness. She grabbed the water bottle she had brought with her and gulped large sips of water.

FLASH !! FLASH !! FLASH !!

She stopped drinking and felt a flash on her face, as someone was clicking pictures of her. She stood up, alerted, and quickly looked for the source of the person behind the joke. She caught a silhouette from the hiding area and the person ran away. Nidhi quickly followed the person, trying to catch up so that she could catch him/her.

She saw the person moving towards the boy's dorm, vanishing into the thin air. She kept following the person as much as she could but lost him. She gritted her teeth and jerked her leg in defeat. She had lost the person who had dared to harass her like that. Once she came to know who was the person, she would kick that person's gut so hard that the person will never ever think of doing it ever again.

She walked a bit so that she could catch a hint of that person, and soon found someone approaching in her direction. She quickly hid behind a pillar, ready to investigate him if he was behind all this.

What she failed to notice was that the person was shirtless and with a towel around his neck, and he was attempting to dry his slightly curly hair. Alas !! The darkness had played its trick.

As soon she felt the person approach her, she fisted her hands and charged at the person. But before she could punch him, she felt her hands being constricted under a stronghold and were being held behind her back. She struggled under his hold and also to see his face. He moved a bit forward, towards the light, and she discovered the person to be none other than Shivam!!

"You!! So you were the one who did this disgusting thing??  Don't you have any shame while doing such a thing?? How could you??” She exclaimed, her face showcasing the disgust.

He calmly looked at her, sticking their bodies together, scrutinizing her face which was red with anger.

"Don't mess with me, Nidhi!! You don't have to curse me without any reason. Think before you speak. You better not cross the line!!" he warned, gritting his teeth to control his own anger.

"I should be the one warning you to not mess with me you pig!! You dared to cross the line yourself and you are only warning me not to do so?? Seriously? What are you and what do you take me for?? Do you believe me to be any girl who would be an easy target for you??" Angry tears surfaced her eyes, but she controlled them. The last thing she would do will be crying in front of this pathetic being.

"Don't beat around the bush and tell me what the heck are you even blaming me for??"

She struggled yet again, but to no use so she told him what happened minutes ago.

"Don't blame me for something I didn't do. I do hate Girls like you, but disrespecting them is not my style!! Remember I have a friend who is a ‘girl’", he released her and walked away, making sure to ruffle his wet hair, some of the droplets falling over on Nidhi's face.

Realization dawned upon her that he couldn't be the one who did that disgusting deed as he was busy taking a shower. He reeked of green apple body wash and a mixed scent of Jasmin too.

Damn !! She misunderstood him !!
