chapter 27

My leg was injured by the stone, it was really difficult for me to walk, how can I be able to run for final round. By thinking all that I was trying to get up and went towards washroom. Sudha was not there to help me, because she was out with Adwiti. I tried to went myself there, but suddenly I slipped my leg...all I could see was darkness but suddenly someone grabbed my waist and when I opened my eyes I was in his arms. I was in Aditya's arm. I was so shocked that I got up suddenly and my head strikes to his head, we both were in pain..he said "can't you see before getting up". I said "sorry, is it hurting hard?". By saying this I tried to rub his forehead by saying sorry continuously. He said "yes, it's hurting really hard". I said "I'm really sorry ". And I was terrified, before I could do anything when I looked up  he was continuously staring at me. Then I realised he was lying, so I came to my senses and put my hands away from him  and tried to walk away but before I could do that my leg hurts. He said "let me help you". I said "no need". He said " why are you so stubborn! I'm just trying to help". I said " thanks, but I don't need any help". But he insisted really hard, but how can I took his help to went washroom. So I said "I'm going to washroom...". For a minute we both stopped and then I said "so you don't need to help". By saying all that I tried to move but suddenly he holds my hand and said let's go. It was really embrassing but there was no choice so I decided to move. When we were out and infront of washroom door, I heard some people were inside so I wait out. Those ladies were  our school staffs, they were talking about me"Have you seen that, Miss Smruti was with our guest IAS officer". By listening that I stopped for a second. Other lady said "Yes, offcourse, other day I also heard Akhil Tripathy invited her for coffe". First lady said "ya, I also don't understand what's good in her, principal mam also likes her". Then second lady said "I think she is seducing two men at a time". First lady said "ya it's a profit for not having a husband, you can seduce anyone". Their talk made my tears drop from my eyes. It's not my first time to listen something like that. But it's my first time to listen it infront of someone from my past, whom once I loved. Again other lady said " I think her husband might have left her because of this or might have poisoned by her". Then first lady said "OMG, what are you saying! I thought she might had her kids from such sins and don't know who was their father... that's why she never talked about her husband". Then other lady said "yes, may be".These words were like thorns, but I was already well known to these words. By saying all that those ladies were laughing with a loud voice. I already dealt with so many people like that but that day  I didn't want to fight, so I opened washroom door suddenly, with the sound of washroom door those ladies got alerted and said " oh my, miss you are here, please take your time, we are leaving". By saying this with fake smiles  they left washroom. What a fake people! When they were going to left Aditya was there, they saw him and said "wow, what a wonderful day, sir can we have a selfie with you please". But Aditya was angry and said "please leave, I am not in a mood to take selfies". Listening these those two left. I went inside washroom and washed my self. And thought Aditya must have left. But when I went out I was shocked to see him, he was still there. Why was he there! After that humiliation from ladies, was he there  to taunt me!
