Pearl's POV
Alarm went off I woke up, it was 7:00 'o' clock, I got down from the bed, went to walk in closet, took a dress for today, I took a sundress which reaches till my ankle and a scarf, I went to bathroom, did my morning business wore my dress, packed my bag, took my violin case and went downstairs it was 8:30 when mom called me for breakfast, I placed my bag and case in living room, went to have breakfast, mom served poha to me, I had my breakfast, later driver drove me to college.
I as usual reached my college on 9:15 after Preparing everything, on 9:45 I sang a song, when I entered the college gate I heard about someone visiting the college, "I heard today he's again visiting college, man he's so handsome, I just want to spend a night with him, fuck he's hot but I heard he's hot tempered, who cares if only I get to spend a night with him it would be my luck, I heard some girls talking about some man, 'what's wrong with these girls nowadays', let it be pearl it's none of our business with that I went to sing in mic as usual.
After singing I went to attend my classes, that's when I heard someone announcing something in speaker, that voice which sent chill in my spine, it was so dark and deep voice, "from today onwards there won't be anyone singing anymore, so there won't be any disturbance, have a good day everyone" I heard him saying this, it ruined my mood, "why everyone doing this to me, first my brother then now this person, I don't know what's their problem, first I was practicing by myself but it created a problem too, students started gather in corridor to listen singing and music.
When management called for a meeting I was scared that they will stop me from practicing but they didn't, they let me sing a song in speaker thrice in a week, but now this person, I think he holds authority in this college, that's why even dean didn't tried to explain situation,I felt bad,I heard other students groaning, they looked towards me, I just smiled at them, I shrugged it off 'don't worry pearl, you have other ways too.I attended my classes from 10 to 12.
After classes I went to canteen, I had sandwich and drank a juice, after lunch I attended my classes till 3 then I stuffed my books in bag, wore my mask and headed to outside, yes no one wears mask except me, I also don't want to wear mask but my big brother made sure that I won't go outside with wearing mask or scarf, so that's why I have to wear mask, when I asked for the reason, he didn't bothered to explain he just replied "do as I say and don't try to question me" I just went to my father.
My father said "I can't meddle in between you guys, please do as he says, sorry dear" with that I didn't tried to go to mom because I know she's going to say the same thing, so without any arguments I am wearing mask everyday while entering the college and while leaving, and also whenever I'm outside I wear scarf to cover my face, I wore my mask took my bag and went to entrance, there driver will pick me up, you guys must be thinking how strange that I'm wearing mask just to entrance when driver is going to pick, I can't do anything, it's how it works so I have to follow.
Starting when I joined the college my brother was overprotective, he used to drop me to my class, he would leave after I took my seat, everyone started to look in some strange way like it's creepy, but I can't explain to everyone who he's right? So I urged him not to do this anymore. I tried to reason with him and requested my parents that when he came up with the idea of wearing a mask outside of the class, I had to accept it.
I went to entrance sat in the car which is already there, driver started the car, I found everything is creepy starting when father and brother didn't registered my full name/surname, my details even my picture, I don't how did they done it, university/college never asked me for anything, I do have a identity card but it's private one, I can't lose it and have to always place in bag but can't wear it, everything is done by my elder brother, I don't know what's his problem, his always controlling nature make me hate him more.
Unreasonably he asks me to follow all his commands and when I ask him for reasons he just glares in anger, so I never bothered to ask him for explanation, other than that I have permission to use mobile phone, but can't give number to anyone, I don't have any friends as I don't like to socialize much ,so yea it's my fault that I don't have any friends, I have anxiety problem, so I'm not used to be comfortable with others surrounding me, yeah I'm happy in my own world, I can't even blame my family for it.
I like to stay alone in my world with my music, singing, art, yea this is my own world where I find peace and comfortable, but I didn't understand till now ,why my family is so overprotective about me, it's not like I'm a glass doll who will be broke if others look at me or touch me, yea I'll definitely ask one day about this, but yea have to go with it for now, after half an hour I reached home, went to my room, got freshened up, went downstairs, mom was sitting in the garden I joined her, we both drank tea, I told everything to my mom, what happened today, she replied "it's OK child you don't have to be sad, you can practice in your music room in home" I just nodded at her.
Yea we Simmons doesn't lack in anything, my father built his own company in his 20's as he was good at education, completed his studies in business field and didn't depend on my grandparents but he started his own firm, likewise my big brother who's 24 years old also started his own company which is earning quite well, so yea my family believes in that depending on others will not bring anything good but your hard work does, so I'm in college and my brother is also studying in pre university, as I ranked first in my first semester my college gave me prizes and prize money, yea I took prize and about money as my father never made us lack in anything, I thought there's no need to take money, but I did discussed with family, they said "we are proud of you child, your thinking really makes us proud, do as you like with that money" so I just returned money to college so that it'll be helpful for others students who are in needs, I'm doing this from past 3 semesters and now I'm studying 4th semester.
After that I went to my room completed my assignments, yes tomorrow is Saturday I don't have college but I like to complete my work on time, when I finished my work it was already dinner time, I went downstairs to have dinner with my family, I forgot to introduce my family, my family have 5 members including me, mom, dad, elder brother, me and younger brother, we all sat and had our dinner and retired to our room as it was time to sleep.
Next day as it was Saturday I'll get 2 days free for myself so I decided to draw something but I didn't had much art supplies as they were over, so I decided to go to shopping and also for some clothes and other items, "mom I'm going to mall" I yelled from my room, "OK take Care'' my mom replied from her room, did you guys thought they restricted me from going outside, no they never did it, it's opposite they want me to go outside and explore the actual word to forget my anxiety but it's me who's not comfortable, as I said only one thing I have to follow my brothers order, I took a scarf and placed in my bag and went to parking lot, driver was already sat in the car waiting for me, I sat in backseat, after a 45 mins drive, we reached the mall, I tied scarf on my face and got out from car, first I went to buy art supplies like charcoal pencils, erasers,blenders, shading pens, acrylic paint, pastel colors, brushes, drawing book etc.... After that I went to buy some dresses, I bought sundress, jeans top, ankle length gown, leggings etc... I got hungry after shopping so me and driver went to food counter and we had burger and coke, after that driver took all shopping bags and we went outside, as we were walking outside my phone started to ring, I was searching for my phone in my purse while walking, thud I just hit my head to wall that made me lose my balance.
I closed my eyes and was was expecting myself on floor, pain in my back but it was totally opposite, I didn't felt any cold floor and pain in my back, I opened my eyes only to see a handsome stranger holding me in his arms and saved me from falling,I was fisting his clothes for grip to save myself from falling, I saw his hawk like eyes glaring at me, I must say his eyes holds power, one look from his eyes will make you quiet and follow his orders, but his eyes are so beautiful, he's beautiful, I know we can't say men are beautiful but I don't mind calling him beautiful and handsome, he have perfect features, his beautiful dark brown eyes, thick and long eyelashes, perfect eyebrows, sharp jawline, pointed sharp nose, and full lips, control yourself pearl my inner self scolded me.
I was so lost in his beauty that I didn't tried to stand myself up, I again ran my gaze all over his face, they traveled to his eyes and saw questioning eyes with clenched jaw as if "aren't you gonna get out of my arms?", then it occurred me that I didn't hit any walls but I hit my head on his stone like chest and I'm still in his arms, I came out of trance and steadied myself.
"Thank you sir helping me, sorry I'm sorry that I collided with you" I said with closed eyes, when I didn't get any replies from him, I opened my eyes only to see him clenching his jaw and anger in his eyes, I saw his clothes crumpled up at chest, I thought he's angry because I messed up his shirt so I immediately started to smoothen his crumpled clothes, in nervousness I touched his chest many times and again and again asked "sorry" for my mistake but suddenly I felt pain in my wrist.
He held my wrist tightly when I was smoothening his crumpled clothes, I looked up to him , his eyes were blazing fire, he was gritting his teeth in anger, but held my wrist in tight grip that it started to hurt more, 'but why is he angry? I even asked sorry, is he angry bect I messed up his shirt, but he's hurting me' tears gathered in my eyes due to pain, "sir, you are hurting me, please let go my hand" I said with courage, he looked in my eyes with his hawk like eyes, when he opened his mouth and what he said next made me go still in my place, "not every handsome man have good heart" I learnt it in this situation.
