Chapter 2
Sheila's POV:
He is looking at me furiously like I snatched his favourite chocolate from him and disposed in the dustbin, but I didn't get the exact reason? Little did I can predict the objective, but not sure of my assumption.
He can't be serious when he claimed me as his doll, right?
"What I told you in the morning?" he asked, no almost yelled. Hearing his dark voice, the remaining colour I had in my body drained out. Then he let go off my hand and turned his attention to the students.
"Listen! Here, my doll made an unforgettable mistake. So, I am going to punish her, so that she will learn her lesson, the lesson would make her never repeat the same mistake in any future. Am I right?" He asked looking at the bunch of students.
Everyone in the cafeteria cheered in loud voice as "Yes! Yes!"
Seems no one has any heart. They found this funny while I'm suffering under his cruel gaze.
He again turned his attention towards me and said, "Guys! You can order whatever you want to eat because my doll is going to pay for us." The announcement caused them to cheer happily in nth time while I was standing there with wide eyes, completely lost in my own thoughts.
He can't be serious!!!
How I am going to make that payment. There are lots of students here and the consequence will cause severe loss which may exceed more than my monthly allowance. "I can't." I whispered, but somehow my voice came like a small breath.
I was shaking internally as the moment feeling like someone poured me a bucket of ice cube through my face. I don't have enough money for that. I get 1000rs for my monthly allowance, and I would manage all my expenses within the limits. That's enough for me anyway because I'm not the kind of girl who would waste their parent's money on simply partying and shopping.
"You have to pay or else you have to face the consequences for what you did, which will more horrible than you could imagine in your dream," he warned.
I heard the increasing rhythm of my heavy heartbeat and worries hitched my face as if it continues, I will die of a heart attack. I rubbed the spot where I felt the faint pain to calm my sense.
"Got it?" He asked me again when I didn't respond to his first question. I could feel the seriousness in his voice. So I nodded my head to avoid the consequence and looked at the ground even though I wanted to scream with my heart out.
Tears are threatening to come out but I blinked it back to save my dignity. I am not going to show my weakness to anyone, most importantly in front of him. He was taking advantage of me and my inability. I'm a first-year student here and no one will come for my rescue.
"Good girl, Now go and get me a coffee," he ordered and took a seat beside the table. Everyone ordered their food and thanked me as I was doing this my wholeheartedly.
I get him his coffee and the monster is taking his own time to finish his coffee while I was standing beside him like a server as he was my VIP customer. It has almost an hour passed, yet, he didn't finish his coffee.
As time went by all the students have gone to their class, but here I was thinking when will he finish his coffee and let go off me. I even started to wonder whether the coffee is still warm. Isn't it get cold already?.
After seemed to be an hour, he finished his coffee and looked at me; His lips moved upwards. Urrrrr! I already hate him. That smirks! I wanted to wipe that smirks off his face.
"Good doll, I appreciate you." He stood up from his seat and patted my shoulder. I wanted to scream at his face saying don't touch me but doing this, I would drag my situation more pity than I was already into, so I stayed silent.
"Now you can leave." He kissed my hair and walked out of the cafeteria without giving another glance at my side, not that I wanted his attention anyway.
Ewww!! The first thing I need to do is to take a good bath once I reach the hostel, especially washing his smell off my hair.
Heaving a painful sigh, with the hammering heart, I stood there unable to function. What happened here? Why did I trap in this mess? Most importantly, what I am going to do?
After standing like a statue for another five more minutes, I asked the cashier how much money I needed to pay. For that, he simply proclaimed "9975. Rs" all the while giving me a look of pity, that is the only thing I hated from the bottom of my heart.
I didn't ask anyone's pity!
Wait! Did he say 9975? Rs? It's very closed to 10000!!!! My dad's one-month income! I can't waste his hard work on my silly mistake.
My already raising heartbeat rapidly increased. It's so huge! I can't arrange the amount in a day nor a month.
"Huuhh!" I let out a sigh of frustration. I wonder how I am going to arrange that huge amount.
It may be a simple thing for others since it's the expense of their one day lunch, but for me, it's a huge amount. Oh, god! Give me some strength! How I am going to handle this situation.
I can't ask money from my parents; not that they were rude. I am just not comfortable with that. They have already spent enough money on my education. Hereafter I do not want to be a burden to them.
Okay fine! It's my problem, and I can handle it by myself. I don't need anyone's help. I said to myself. After a long time of debating as to how to handle the situation in my mind, I asked him to give me a favour with my puppy eyes which worked as how I drew.
Well, at least he has some humanity. With that, I walked towards my class to attend the session, forgetting the first reason of why I'm here.
Maybe I would avoid the consequences if I had stayed in my classroom. The desire of filling my stomach dragged me all the way here.
"I'm not hungry." I rubbed my flat stomach. He spoiled my mood and My hunger was flew away, because of the incident which happened an hour ago.
When I entered the classroom, everyone's attention turned towards me as I have grown with the unicorn 'I am late this time too.' shit!! I mentally cursed and slapped myself. The teacher shook his head in disbelief before said a, "come in."
He gave me a warning that "Since it's your first day, I'm forgiving you this time, but don't repeat this next time. I don't tolerate this attitude. Got it?" I badly wanted to remark as 'it's not my attitude.' But I only nodded my head before walking into the classroom.
I silently took my seat and began to think about how to arrange the money for tomorrow. Yes! I have asked him to give me a day to arrange the amount. Nothing more nothing less.
After the bell rang, I came out of the classroom as how fast I could, because I don't want to spend my another second there. Cautiously I walked out of the college campus and reached my room at 4.30 pm. Feeling very exhausted, I dropped my bag on the floor and facepalmed.
Who has the heart to lend me such huge money? I am nothing, but a simple girl who is new to this city and no one dares to give me that huge amount to an unknown person.
I have no idea, but tomorrow I need to pay the amount. Oh! Jesus!! Please help me.
