My Destined One

Saving the modesty

Aarsh's POV

  Since Meera left to buy the drinks, I just can't put my thoughts together. I don't know why am feeling this strange feeling that something bad is going to happen. I know it's a residential area, the store is also near by, but still something is bugging me up. And before I lose my sanity, I need to check the situation properly. I tried to call her once, but to my dismay she has left her phone here. Damn! Who does that? Well obviously the famous Miss Meera Sharma! These foolishness of hers makes my blood boil like hell. Well, my discomfort has risen to another level. I was thinking, hard, to come out of an idea to get out from this place. With a simple luck, I called Vivek bhai, well gave him a missed call, so that he gets the cue and call me immediately. And he did. The moment he called me, I excused myself from everyone, left the room, picked up the call, told him its by mistake, cut the call and went straight to the liquor shop's way. 

  After passing two by-lanes, I heard a few thick and groggy voices, like few drunkard males saying,  "Oh so you are a feisty one huh? We love feisty girl baby, we will definitely enjoy you till the end. Just imagine when we will take turns on you, we will f**k you until you become senseless. We will f**k you the whole night, and tomorrow, we will throw you away on the road full of people and that too naked. While we will r**e you, we will shoot you, trust me baby by tomorrow you will be trending every where." Hearing this, I quickly understood something is definitely wrong. I changed my direction towards the way from where the voice was coming. I ran and what I saw made me gasp and terrified as hell.

  I saw Meera laying on the ground and few drunk males were standing infront of her, opening their shirts and unbuckling their belts. I got what will be their next step, they were going to r**e her. The moment I got the situation, my insides were raging, I was about to explode in anger. No one touches what's mine, NO ONE. I went near them, carefully putting my steps. The moment I was just behind them, I lowered my voice and said, " Leave the girl before I kill all of you in one go." I never imagined by voice could be this dangerous. The moment these words left my mouth, all of them turned towards me, even Meera glanced up to where I was standing. She looked scared, almost like she was about to lose every thing, and she was. She looked pale, a mere ray of hope appeared in her eyes the moment they met mine, and to be honest, at that moment I just wanted to hug her and hide her in my huge chest. I wanted to say, 'Don't worry am here, nothing will happen, You are mine, and no one touches what's mine,' but I didn't.

  "Who the f**k are you boy?" "Can't you see we are bit occupied here?" "And no, we are not going to leave the girl." "We will, but tomorrow, after enjoying here tonight." Hearing this I almost lost all the control, but Meera's sobs brought me back. I still don't understand what is wrong with her? She can destroy these men single handedly still she is laying there on the ground looking helpless. Why? Why isn't she using her goddamn powers? Just one smooth swish and these men's existence will come to an end. But still she chooses to be helpless. I didn't know I was glaring at her, when she chooses to shift her eyes from mine to other sides. To be honest, even I didn't know who I was angry with at that time the most, Meera for acting helpless or these bastards for trying to r**e her. I composed my mind, focused on the men, and slowly growled, "One last time am saying, leave the girl and get lost." They didn't budge, instead one came running towards me trying to hit me, but me being a trained fighter in Karate, Taekwondo and MMA, it was easy for me to predict and tackle his drunk move. Within a split second the man was pinned to the ground and it hardly made me use any of my body strength. Huh, weak! 

  All of them charged one after the other, some tried to put up a fight but because of their intoxication and me being a trained fighter, they just couldn't succeed. Within seconds, I pinned everyone to the floor one by one. All were groaning in pain. Why not! Satisfied with this unimportant fight, I rushed to where Meera was still laying. I helped her getting up, and the moment she stood on her feet, she hugged me. God I so wanted to hug her the entire time, so wanted to hide her in my chest the entire time. And now when she is hugging me I so wanted to scream at her, ask her so many questions, but what she said made me stop for a while. "Thank you Aarsh, Thank you so much. If you haven't come in time, they would have r***d me," she said in between her sobs. "I didn't know what to do, how to react, I just prayed and saw everything coming to an end for me." This hit the trigger now. I peeled myself from her, grabbed her shoulder and asked," What the heck were you doing down there, laying on the ground Meera? Just praying? Praying for what? To save you from those bastards? Meera you could have saved yourself far better than I could have, anyone could have, but no, you chose to be laying on the ground praying like a helpless creature. Why Meera why? Why the f**k didn't you use your powers? Why the f**k didn't you destroy them?" I shook her rigorously, expecting that she would answer quickly that way.

  She kept on staring me like I said something in alien language. I was enraged. "Why did you choose to be helpless as hell when you can be a bandit Queen? Why did you let them encircle you and do nothing when you can demolish an entire ancient magical temple with just two smooth swift movements from your hands? Why Meera Sharma? Just why? " I keep on shaking her until she said," Because I promised you. I promised you Aarsh, I promised you. I couldn't do anything just because I promised you Aarsh, I promised you that I won't use my powers to harm any thing or rather on anyone. Don't you remember?" this time she screamed and screamed loudly. I could see in her eyes how hurt she was, and to be honest I was not hurt any less. She didn't use her powers because of a mere promise I made her promised! No, no this can't be true. She must be lying. Her tear stained face was washed by the heavy rainfall. By the time I reached here, it was already drizzling, by the end of the fight the rain poured down heavily, so heavily that everything was now washing down, her fear and helplessness, my anger, my fear, everything.

  Hearing her words made me stunned. Now I was believing that it was because of me she could have been r***d. If I didn't made her promise that stupid promise, she could have saved herself. Me saving her today was her sheer luck, but if she chooses to maintain her promise then that day would soon come when I will lose her forever, and that will be the last thing I want in my life. I. CAN'T. LOSE. HER. After all, I have gotten her back after one whole f*****g year. I got hang of her situation, she was shaking and trembling like hell. I grabbed her shoulders as lightly as possible, trying not to hurt her anymore. I wiped her tears, caressed her cheeks, hugged her lightly, rubbed her back and head simultaneously, and did all other things that came in my mind to calm her down. After staying in that same position for a few minutes, she finally stopped crying, not even sobbing any more, I slowly broke the hug and made her look at me. Her eyes were still glistening with tears. 

  "Meera do you want to go home now?" I asked her after looking at her eyes for a while. She stared at me as if I have grown 2 heads on my neck. "Meera if you want we can go home now. You know what, I want to go home now, I don't think it's better to keep you here forcefully, at least today." I finally said. "No, I can handle myself, moreover we just came for a while, and you told last month you didn't have the meet up, so I don't want you to leave and go home because of me. I will try to handle myself." "Bullshit, we are going home and that to my one as decided earlier. I can't have the risk to let you spend the night alone, or worst with your parents. I know they love you, but this situation is beyond their hand. So you will come with me, and we will leave now. Come on." I said with a little bit force in my voice, so that she doesn't dare to cut me. She looked devastated but yet she was thinking about me and my happiness. I couldn't take it anymore.

   I started dragging her to Varsha's house, we entered, gave the drinks to Varsha and told them, "I need to go home early, am not feeling well, and I have to attend an international conference call, and have to prepare for it, so I better leave." "But you just came and its not even an hour also, please stay for a while nah!" Maithili whined. "No Maithu, I absolutely can't. The call is important and have to attend it. Please try to understand" I said calmly. Gosh managing so many girls is very much hectic. "And... uh... I will... also take Meera with me, she has to be with me while the call goes on, so both of us have to leave right now." I said trying to sound as original as possible. "But its the first time Meera came for the meet up, please let her stay for a bit, at least" Riya requested with a pout. "No Riya please try to understand, we need to go home as soon as possible. Sharman can you please drop Sana home?" I turned to Sharman and asked him. He just nodded, and then I turned to go out of Varsha's house, making sure that Meera is following me.

  After we entered the car, I started the engine and start driving towards my house. "Aarsh, please let me go to my home, am tired. And moreover, if I stay at your home then again I have to go home tomorrow early morning, so its better you drop me to my home." "Listen Meera, we have already been through this for too many times. You are not going your home. Firstly, am too tired to drive you home and then drive myself to my home, you can stay at my place but I can't, so its better we go to my home. Secondly, am pretty much sure you will have nightmares of today's incident, and when you will shout at the middle of the night, your parents will ask what happened, and you being you, won't be able to answer, and they, being helpless, won't be able to calm you down. So, its better for you to be around me for at least tonight. And finally, I need to have a talk with you, and that too an important one, and I can't keep it hanging. So, tomorrow morning I will first talk with you, after you wake up, then we will have breakfast, then I will arrange someone to send you home." I said with a stern voice. "And don't you dare to protest any of it. You have created a big mess already, so you better keep quite and do as I say." this time I said by raising my voice a little bit. The rest of the drive was quite. None of us said anything to each other.

  God its gonna be a really long night.

  And I can't lose my control on her, at least this time.

  Please God help me!
