"Neeyat?" I heard my mom calling me.
I suddenly woke up and hugged her tightly.
"What happened Neeyat? Are you fine? You slept for five hours. It's 10 pm now."
"Nothing mom. I was very tired," I said hiding my tears.
"Okay. Be there at the dinner table within fifteen minutes. I have made something good for you." She said and left my room.
I went to washroom and washed my face. I tried to look little calm and normal. As I came back, I heard my phone ringing. It was Shreyas.
"Hello Shreyas?" I said hoping him to help me.
"Neeyat? What happened? I saw your message on Facebook. I was quite worried about you."
"Shreyas, I am scared!"
"Tell me Neeyat."
I told him each and every detail of that day's incident. As I was telling him, my voice started to break. Tears started flowing from my eyes.
"Neeyat please don't cry. You know how weak I become when I see you in pain. I am right here beside you. I will surely do something. Please don't cry. For me, be fine. Be happy!" he said consoling me.
"Shreyas, please help me."
"I will Barbie."
As he said this, everything around me paused. He said me "Barbie." A smile appeared on my face. It was for the first time that Shreyas called me so. It showed how much I meant to him.
"Give me that number," he said.
"Yeah, wait." I gave him the phone number.
"What's his name?"
"Vanshu"
"Okay. Now you need not worry. I am here and now you are safe. Did you have your dinner?"
"No, not till now. Mom is waiting."
"Go fast and have something otherwise you'll become weak. Take care of yourself and you need not worry. I am here."
"Thank you Shreyas."
"You need not!"
"Bye. Good night."
"Bye. Sweet dreams," he said and disconnected the phone.
I was feeling light hearten then. I knew that Shreyas was there with me. I trusted him. I knew he would do something for me. I had my dinner and I slept peacefully.

Next morning I woke up totally fresh. I saw a message from Shreyas:
"Did you go to the mall yesterday and that too all alone?"
I replied:
"Yes I went alone but what happened? Why are you asking me this?"
As soon as I replied to his text, he called. I picked his call.
"Why did you go alone yesterday?" he shouted.
"What do you mean? I am not a baby. I can go anywhere I want to. Stop being my daddy." I shouted.
"I talked to Vanshu," he said calmly.
"What did he say?"
"He said that he is mad for you."
"And what did you say then?"
"I said that don't stalk her and he replied that he is not afraid of anyone. He is actually mad for you ha ha." Shreyas laughed.
"Shut up Shreyas. You don't know how much scared I am. Yesterday I cried a lot and you are laughing at my situation?"
"Sorry Barbie."
"You should be."
"Now listen to me carefully. You are not a kid, I know that but still you need to be little more responsible. Do what I say now. Be there at the same showroom today at 12 noon! Stand near the same trial room."
"Now what is this Shreyas? For whom should I wait?"
"For vanshu," he said hurriedly.
"Shreyas. You are asking me to meet him?"
"Yes."
"Oh goodness."
"Do you trust me?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Then do what I say."
"Okay"
"Good morning and get ready now. Bye."
He disconnected the phone. I thought that he was totally mad but I trusted him. I wanted to go there just for the sake of Shreyas. I knew Shreyas would have done something. It was also a test for him. I wanted to see whether Shreyas would break my trust or make a greater bond with me. I got ready and departed.

He was standing there. Vanshu. A chilling sensation flew through my spine. I felt very wierd. What the hell was I doing there in front of him? He looked at me and waved. I did not respond to him. I actually didn't want to face that person. He seemed quite fake. He seemed to be covered by different masks. He was the one with chameleon colors. Suddenly someone came from behind.
"Boo.."
I turned to see. He was Shreyas. I smiled and felt very relaxed to see him. In a nut shell, I felt very much comfortable. He very gently held my hand. The way he held it was something I still feel. His soft and gentle fingers touched mine. His rough palm touched my palm. I turned my head to see him but he was already staring me. My mouth gaped to see his expression. His expresiion was that of a great stupidity. He was showing his toothy grin to me.
"Let's go," he whispered in my ear.
"Where?" I asked.
"To your Vanshu."
I got irritated. I suddenly let go my hand from his hand's grip.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Nothing."
"I thought you trusted me."
"I do." I assured him.
He again grabbed my hand and took me near Vanshu. There he was. A stupid, grumpy cat. I hated him. I hated him like hell. I wanted to punch him hard on his nose. I wanted to disfigure his face. I hated his crocodile smile.
"Hey!" he said.
I didn't reply.
"So Bro, I have brought your love to you. Say whatever you wanted to." Shreyas said to vanshu.
I was shocked to listen all that. I left his hand slowly.
"Yaar! I like you. In fact, I love you. I asked Shreyas to do so and he did this for me. I am very much thankful to him."
He smiled and gave a high five to Shreyas.
What was happening? What was Shreyas doing? He broke my trust. I tried to blink back my tears but couldn't. Tears were coming in my eyes. My eyes drenched with broken dreams. I felt bad. Really very bad. I didn't say anything and I tried to leave the situation. Suddenly, Shreyas held my hand. In just a nanosecond, he punched on Vanshu's face and said,
"Don't you dare to stalk her again."
We left the place. Tears were still in my eyes. I could not interpret the whole situation. What had happened was difficult to recall. I was in a great sense of confusion.
"Barbie, I am sorry. This was the only way by which I could beat that bastard."
"It's okay Shreyas. Thank you!" I cleaned my tears.
"I don't know why I am so possessive about you. The way you started crying, it made me weak."
"Hm?"
"Nothing Barbie. I want to confess something."
"Say?"
"I love you!"
"What do you mean? I am not a baby. I can go anywhere I want to. Stop being my daddy." I shouted.
"I talked to Vanshu," he said calmly.
"What did he say?"
"He said that he is mad for you."
"And what did you say then?"
"I said that don't stalk her and he replied that he is not afraid of anyone. He is actually mad for you ha ha." Shreyas laughed.
"Shut up Shreyas. You don't know how much scared I am. Yesterday I cried a lot and you are laughing at my situation?"
"Sorry Barbie."
"You should be."
"Now listen to me carefully. You are not a kid, I know that but still you need to be little more responsible. Do what I say now. Be there at the same showroom today at 12 noon! Stand near the same trial room."
