The moment Amyra reached home her friends surrounded her like Leech. Apart from Maithli and Shruti Amit was also there. They all were no doubt very tensed, as she was missing along with Pari the whole day. They almost decided to go to the police and before they could do that she reached home. Amyra looked very tired but their minds were filled with thousands of questions. Amyra could see their eagerness to know the situation in their eyes, so she narrated the whole story to them as she knew how to irritate her friends can get. They all heard her as if they are listening to an adventure story. Their mouths were opened wide when she finished, thinking that these all things happened to their friend who is now sitting in front of them. They insisted her to take rest as she was tired.
She didn't oppose as she felt the need for the same.

Amyra doesn't know how long she slept but she felt a strong headache when she woke up. She dragged herself out of the bed, she then hurriedly got ready and had her breakfast as she was getting late for her lectures. Shruti and Maithli were already ready and were waiting for her.
They left for the class, but only after a single lecture, Amyra's headache became stronger.
-"Are you feeling unwell??" asked Shruti who noticed Amyra touch her forehead frequently.
-"A mild headache, it will be fine. maybe I would not be able to do the practical class so please take notes properly. I am going to take leave" Amyra replied pretending to be well but she felt her head burning.
-"Maithli or I should go with you. let me check if you have a fever." Shruti forwarded her hand towards Amyra's forehead saying this words but Amyra moved her head in a reflex.
-"It's just a mild headache. don't worry and take notes. maybe I need some rest. please inform the teacher on my behalf" Saying this Amyra took her bag and left the classroom. the day was cloudy before she could reach the complex it suddenly started pouring. in the gate of the complex, she got out of the car and rushed towards the nearest shelter and reached the children's playground area and entered into a shed. It's a cemented umbrella-like structure with the cemented round structure to sit and only one side of it was walled. The raindrops were getting heavier and just then someone else rushed in as well. Out of curiosity, Amyra lifted her head glancing towards the other person and to her surprise, it was the strange man. The man stood near her with an attitude as if he had never seen her before. Both his hands were held against the wall, his clothes were almost wet revealing his abs and strong body muscles, water drops were pouring down of his wet hair, she turned her face away as she already decided to not to talk to him because of the previous incident.
'he behaves as if he is the President of India. And everyone around him is dying to talk to him.. huh!!' she thought in mind waiting for the rain to go away but to her disappointment, it became heavier along with her headache. she took some steps away from the strange man, but sprinkles of rainwater started splashing all over her making her shiver and she started sneezing. but she was very clear in her mind that she would not stand near the man. the rain seemed like it will never stop, she started to shiver badly as a gust of cold air and rain sprinkle made her totally wet. and then only to her wildest surprise, she felt a pull from the backside, it was the strange man holding her by her arm, the hold was very strong and sudden so she could not resist and fell right in his chest. She raised her head in anger and tried to free her hands from the man but everything was in vain. This time she saw the strange man clearer. apart from his well-structured nose or chin and sexy lips, Amyra's eyes struck in his sharp deep eyes, so she calmed down after a while. Midst of everything Amyra noticed one thing and it got cleared that the man is disguising his own identity. The Pupil of the right eye of the strange man was bluish as she has already seen but the left one was greyish black so it got cleared in her mind that the man is wearing contact lenses and may be due to the rain the left one got lost.
She was thinking this stuff in her mind Meanwhile the heavy rainfall turned into small droplets of rain. He continued to hold her hand until the rain stopped, ignoring her fierce attitude.
-"You are having a strong fever so see a doctor and have medicine." said the man leaving her hands.
-" thanks but It's none of your business. I don't need your suggestion," she said and stepped out of the shed feeling a pair of eyes bashing on her from the backside. Instead of her increased headache, she got a feeling of satisfaction in her heart but something inside her was poking her mind as if she had seen those eyes before. 'do I know him?' this question was roaming around her mind.
