Even though Mithuna left the canteen, Amrutha stayed with Aditya. In their conversation, he asked the details of Mithuna. She noticed the love for her friend in his eyes. But this time, Aditya didn't ask her to help.
After some time, Amrutha went to her classroom. Amrutha didn't find Mithuna in the classroom so she went to the library. She found there who was busily reading some book. Amrutha greeted Mithuna Still, she was angry with Amrutha.
" I told you to ignore him then why did you talk with Aditya?" Mithuna asked her seriously.
" Because he saved me. I cannot ignore him from now. Moreover, he is not the bad person as you said" Amrutha said sincerely.
" I don't believe rich guys. So I told you to stay away from him. It's for your good" Mithuna said.
" Then why did you go with Karthik and Dhruv when they dropped to your home?" She questioned her.
" They both are your family friends and I believe you and your family. You are exceptional" she answered.
" If you believe me then listen to me, Aditya loves you so much and he is very sincerely loving you. I saw his love in his eyes….," Amrutha said.
" He doesn't love me but he wants to have fun with me. This is the end of his topic. If you want to talk with him, you can but never talk about him before me because I will never change my decision. " she left seriously.
Amrutha was stunned by her stubbornness. She doesn't understand the reason behind her words. She followed Mithuna with long strides and held her wrist tightly.
" Ok. I will never bring up this topic" Amrutha said.
They both left their respective houses.
On the other side…..
After talking with Arvind, Dhruv understood how much threat was there to Amrutha's life. He felt disappointed when Arvind informed him that they were searching for a bridegroom to Amrutha. Then he thought, they couldn't become one. So he didn't talk with her and informed Mithuna to come along with him so that he can drop Mithuna at her home.
…..
After he dropped Mithuna at her home, he returned to his mansion. As entered his room, he laid on the bed feeling tired. His nose sensed Amrutha's fragrance on his bed. He reminisced about the passionate kiss they shared last night. He could still feel her soft lips and smooth palm on him. Suddenly he noticed an anklet on his bed. He took it into his hand and examined it then he understood it belonged to Amrutha.
" You are so lucky to stick to her feet," he said to the anklet with a faint smile.
Then he kept it carefully in a small box and hid it in his closet. He took his nightdress and went to take a hot bath. He didn't have his dinner and laid on the bed. He hugged the pillow which he could inhale Amrutha's hair perfume and drifted to sleep.
Days were passing on…
There was no progress in their relationship. Dhruv used to see Amrutha when he went to Arvind's house. Amrutha also avoided Dhruv as he was ignoring him. She felt hurt and her heart ached when he didn't speak with her. They both buried their feelings inside the hearts.
After a few months, Amrutha and Mithuna completed their first year. Mithuna scored a good grade and stood topper in the first year.
Karthik left for the US for further studies. Aditya completed his final year and joined his father's company in the same city. But he never failed to come to their college regularly to his love. He used to talk with Amrutha while stealing a glare towards Mithuna. Still, Mithuna's heart is not melted for Adithya.
…..
…..
…..
Arvind appointed a driver to drop and pick up in the car for Amrutha from the college as Karthik was out of the country. Usually, Mithuna used to go along with Amrutha in the car as her home is on the way in the evening time. The main reason was Mithuna wanted to avoid Aditya as he used to come with her to the bus stop.
….
….
...
One day, Amrutha didn't come to the college due to viral fever. At the end of the college, Mithuna started walking towards the bus stop. It was raining like cats and dogs, she was completely drenched in the rain and shivering. A few guys were looking at her with lustful eyes. It felt awkward to stand in front of them but she was helpless.
" Mithu…" Adithya called her.
" I will drop you at your home. Come with me" Aditya informed her.
She turned her head away from him without replying to him.
" Mithu...don't make me angry. Come with me right now." He held her wrist tightly.
She didn't flinch from her place a little bit. The guys laughed loudly at him. Aditya lost his temper and picked Mithuna in his arms in bridal style. She was startled by his sudden move. The guys in that place opened her mouth with shock. He walked towards his car and placed her beside the driver's seat. He closed the door and went to the other side of the car. He was seated in the driver's seat and locked the car lock. He started driving the car gripping the steering tightly.
Due to shock, Mithuna didn't understand what happened. She came to her senses with the sound of a carlock.
" Let me go…" she yelled at him.
" Don't utter a single word from your mouth. If you speak one more word, I lose my temper." Aditya shouted.
" How dare to raise your voice on me?" Mithuna retorted.
" Because you are mine. I will be your boyfriend and future husband too," he replied.
" No...you are nothing to me. I won't marry you," she said angrily.
He stopped the car on the side of the road.
He pulled her closer to him and claimed her lips roughly and vigorously. He cupped her face with his both hands and tilted her head to get better access to kiss her. She punched his chest with her fist but he locked her both hands with one hand and snaked her waist with the other hand. He released her when he sensed wetness on his shirt. Then he looked at teary eyes and hugged her.
" I lost my temper when those guys were staring at you with lust. Moreover, you rejected my help even in this condition. " he caressed her back.
She was crying on his chest.
" This is the small punishment for telling me lies that you don't love me. I knew you love me and can see your love for me in your eyes" he whispered in her ears.
She pushed him and looked at him.
" Now, tell me why you are ignoring me? I will give my life to prove my love for you" he asked her.
