Her FaceBook Friend

Chapter 25

“No one will ever recognize how rare you are! If you don’t recognize it yourself. So recognize your rareness, deal with the pain that life has offered you, make mistakes, experience failures and do everything you want.[Jacqueline]

[Writer’s POV]:

The yellow sun rays engulfed Jacqueline’s body and the sweating started. From armpits to the corner of cheeks. Sweat rolled down her back and she felt it as it traveled inside the fabric of Kurti.

She replied to him with a single word.

“No.”

Her one-word response frustrated him. He wanted to still ask her but his man ego decided otherwise.

“Fine. Bye.”

Jacqueline’s lips thinned as she held the phone in her hand tighter. He wanted to see her, but could she trust him this early. This easily. the answer came a second later. No. She didn’t want to imagine the consequences of trusting someone she never met in real life. f***! She never trusts anyone in real life. How could she trust a man she barely knew.

“I am sorry. But I don’t trust you. f*** I barely trust people in real life, So please try to understand from my viewpoint.”

Jacky didn’t know why she was explaining to him. It was improper of her to do that. To explain herself to a stranger.

To which He only replied with a “hmm.”

Disheartened by his words, she logged out. Noticing the atmosphere around her.

Two girls seemed to be gossiping about something and then they giggled together hitting each other on the back. She craved that kind of friendship. A friendship where she can be herself and will still be appreciated. Still, be loved. Adored. Yet it seemed like it was impossible to happen for her at least in this life.

A few kids were playing around with the football. Not particularly by rules, just kicking it on the body of each other. While the gardener watered the plants smiling.

Sighing I stood up, it wasn’t the time to pity myself. However, the moment I stood up, my leg twisted and I fell on my stomach on the cemented floor with a thud. A painful groan escaped my lips. And I closed my eyes muttering in frustration.

“f***. God! How many terrible things are going to happen to me today!”

The sound of steady footsteps echoed and I opened my eyes in a flash. They landed on the familiar black shoes. Rohan again. Oh, God!

My eyes darted from downwards to upwards in slow motion and I noticed him smirking.

I inhaled.

‘Oh, God! I hope this is just a nightmare.’

“Need some help sweet cheeks?” His baritone voice sent shivers down my spine and I stiffened. It wasn’t a nightmare. It’s real.

Begrudgingly I yelled through gritted teeth.

“No.”

“Are you sure?”

I noticed a few kids gathered around us. Almost surrounding us. My cheeks flushed red and I bit my lip hard wanting to find a hole in the ground and disappear in it.

“Yea.”

Almost everyone seemed to be looking at me with contempt. Some even laughed at my face.

“Oh, God! She can’t even walk!”

“Leave that. Just look at her b***. She is too big.”

“Yeah. You are right. She is.”

I tried to get up, but it seemed God had other plans for me. My ankle must have been strained because I couldn’t get up from my position.

My eyes darted in between people and at last locked with his enchanting black ones. As black as darkness. Hypnotizing me.

He didn’t seem to be particularly enjoying my misery. His pink lips were set down in the shape of a scowl while his furrowed brows proved, he was doing anything but enjoying.

Without a word exchanged between us, he bent down placing his arm on my sweaty one. In one swift motion, he had placed his neck in my right armpit, Supporting me to stand. While everyone around us gasped.

As I stood up he glared at the kids surrounding us. Yelling through gritted teeth.

“The f***ing show is over. Get lost Guys.” His angry voice made me shudder.

In response to his words, Almost everyone glared at me pointing at me with a finger.

“Are you guys deaf! Just leave!”

Everyone s***tered in an instant and he took me to the bench I was sitting on earlier.

After making sure I sat down he removed himself from me. And I exhaled a breath that I didn’t know I was holding.

Earlier when he helped me, his fragrance had reached my nostrils creating a ripple of b***erflies in my stomach.

“Thank you, Rohan. And I. I am sorry about earlier.”

His eyes swirled with emotion as his face enlarged in front of my eyes. He had closed the distance between us.

Taking my chin in between his rough index finger as well as his thumb, he pinched me.

It hurts.

“I hate it when you are bullied by someone else Sweetcheeks. I want to be the only one who can bully you.” His husky voice and cruel words made me realize I was thinking too much. He wasn’t thinking to exactly help me. He just wanted to help me to do those things himself.

For a moment, my voice was lost. I didn’t know what to say to him. What kind of cruel ways he had. Can people be this unreasonable?

“Don’t ever try to cry for anyone Jacqueline. You can only cry when I will bully you.”

My hands clenched on either side while I bit my lip hard.

‘Would it be fine if I smack him across his cheek even if he had helped me a minute ago?’

‘No! You are a kind as well as Good girl Jacky. You can’t do that.”

‘Deep breath Jacky. Deep breaths.’

Closing my eyes I inhaled.

One. Two. Three. Four.

I can’t think of a reason why every time I encountered him, my patience line seems to flee away. He did have a weird way to get on my nerves.
