Chapter 1 - Library Chaos...….

School becomes chaotic in the middle. The situation was utterly unknown to Ruhi. Her reason for being at the library was to finish an assignment today, no matter what happened. Both colleagues completed their work two days ago because they started their task two weeks ago. Tomorrow is the project's due date, and she finishes her work harmoniously without stress. However, Ruhi is not like other girls and is not proficient at school tasks. Her computer skills are exceptional. To accomplish these tasks, she uses some shortcut techniques.

"Hey, I'm heading to the library. I haven't finished the assignment yet.

"Ruhi told her classmates before she headed to the library. They observed her manners.

"Stop telling us that you haven't finished yet. You have told it perfectly. I haven't begun yet,"

Chathuri screamed at her. A childish smile spread across Ruhi's face as she took off.

"Get here quickly."

Kaushi added again. Since Ruhi didn't need the entire day to finish that, she didn't need to mention that. During her time in the library, chaos broke out. Chathuri and Kaushi were told a special guest had come to the school as they arrived at the library. After moving to the library alone, she began working there.

"Hey, Ruhi..."

"How can you be screaming inside a library?"

In the library on other days, Ruhi had been yelled at to be quiet by them. Still, she was startled by their behaviour today. But now...

"There's a guest."

"So.....? what's so special?"

"Do you know who is coming?"

The behaviour of Ruhi's colleague convinced her that a new student was coming to the school. However, she did not seem to care much about that.

"Can you tell me who's coming?"

"Roy Athapaththu"

Everyone recognised it as they simultaneously called his name and rushed to them.

"Oh, that mafia gangster."

Astonishingly, Ruhi said.

"You've got to shut up, Ruhi. He has no connection to gangsters. It is impossible to deny that he is one of the most handsome men in the world..."

"What a load of rubbish."

In the blink of an eye, Chathuri and Kaushi transform into beasts and march towards Ruhi like they plan to kill her.

"Is anyone coming?"

"What made him come here?"

"To where?"

As soon as Chathuri and Kaushi announced the news, all the students in the library heard it. Their questions grew bigger and bigger. It gave Ruhi a headache. Thankfully, when Kaushi pointed out he was on school grounds, everyone left the library.

"Oh my God! What the hell is going on with these people?"

Ruhi struggles to focus on her job after everyone has disappeared from the library. But she could not understand why this person captivated many young women.

"Mr Roy Athapaththu."

Among the world's wealthiest men, he is one of them. In addition to four top-ranked hotels, he has a casino as well. Ruhi finds Roy handsome, but others find him the most charming gentleman they have ever seen. Ruhi heard rumours that he was a playboy and secretly involved in some mafia activities. As far as Mr. Athapaththu is concerned, there is no one woman he prefers. The number of women he has relationships with is uncountable. This is what Ruhi heard. Her attention was not focused on the outside. As everyone screamed near the library, she took the headset and increased the volume. 

"At last, I'm fine. There is nothing I can hear. Feel free to do whatever you need, guys."

It was a delight for Ruhi to hear nothing at all. In contrast, Mr Roy and his security guards showed up on the other side of the school but not at the root, Chathuri claimed. As soon as he left the school parking area, he walked straight to the principal's office. Everyone misses that moment. He remained a mystery as to why he attended the school. Because Roy's father is the school principal's colleague, he donated money to the library because of his grandma's death ceremony. His goal was to meet the librarian, so he came without knowing anyone. When he entered the library, his bodyguard closed the entrance door. A few students were studying there, and Roy and his assistant stepped in quietly. 

"Well, I'll check it out, boss. You stay here."

Roy glanced around while Jayaweera entered inside. A girl appeared at that point, but her backside caught his eye. Despite that, Jayaweera couldn't find the librarian.

"Sorry, sir, I didn't get to meet him."

Ruhi's table was just a few feet away, and Roy stepped there in silence.

"Excuse me."

Music makes it hard for Ruhi to find his tone. He talks to her multiple times, not just once. Therefore, his anger builds up. She didn't hear him, though. After Ruhi finished her task, she pulled out her headset. It was then that Roy realised why she was having hearing issues. The girl sat there for more than an hour. She shook her hand to avoid being numb because her hands were freezing. Roy was suddenly hit by her right hand. Seeing someone behind her, Ruhi turned immediately. As she turned, she spotted who was behind her. After seeing him, she was shocked but didn't show up for him. 

"I'm sorry..."

Ruhi apologised and shifted back to her original position. Her attitude surprises Roy, but he catches her eyes when she turns. At once, he was captivated by those two big eyes. He could read them since they were evident. He couldn't even if he wanted to stare at her eyes for a long time. Turning back, Ruhi avoided him.

"Do you know where the librarian is?"

There is no politeness in his expression, Ruhi notices.

"You'll find him in his office. It's over there."

There is an office for the librarian, which she points out.

"My secretary checked the office, but he's not there."

"Well, let me find out for you in a moment."

Ruhi steps towards the librarian's office, avoiding him. There is no sign of him. She decided to call a number without explaining.

"Sir, someone is looking for you."

"He is in the library. Just a second."

"I'm sorry. Sir wants to know your name. Would you mind telling me your name?"

Upon hearing those words from her mouth, Roy was surprised. The world-famous businessman and his secretary were equally amazed. Every young child and adult recognises his name, so how is it that she does not? 

"Roy Athapaththu."

Her happiness was sparked after hearing his name from his mouth because she wished to punish him. Her wish was granted. This little girl, however, remained a mystery. Roy could not find out about her or what made her different from others.

"He asked you to remain here. He will arrive in five minutes."

 Once the message was handed over, she left the office.

"Thank you."

"No worries."

His secretary Jayaweera thanked her rather than Roy. With a smile, Ruhi responded to the secretary and left the office without looking at him.

"What a nasty man. Mafia gangster."

While walking, Ruhi whispered to herself. Ruhi sat in her chair to finish her task. Just before leaving, she submitted. As soon as she finished that, she left the library. Roy's escort allowed her to go out. In a flash, she turned to her colleagues. She couldn't discover them then, so she left the class without them. The librarian also arrived, and Roy finished his work before leaving. Sadly, she had left the location earlier, so he couldn't find her. To find out more about Ruhi, he turned his head before leaving.

"See, we couldn't even see his face."

"So what happened?"

"There was a group of security guards. He is wealthy. That's why he has so many guards."

Ruhi laughed. She noticed how disquieted both were at that time to see him.

"You should stay in the library. That Mafia bastard showed up at the library."

In her explanation, Ruhi explains everything that transpired there. Upon learning the news, they were shocked."

Oh my gosh... Ruhi..."
