On with the story👌

Alia's P.O.V

I look at Pari and Shraddha. They look very curious.

"What is it, Alia?" Pari asks

I smile. "Actually, since we don't have anything to do, we can go on a vacation. We haven't got work and the boys also don't have work. Plus it's better to get the know one another and maybe the boys will as well and they will stop fighting. If we tell Karan I'm sure he will agree. But the only question now is where do we go?"

"That's a great idea Alia!" Shraddha exclaims. " We can go shopping all day and we go to clubs at the end of the day!"

"But I don't want to be recognised." Pari says. "So we have to go somewhere where Bollywood is not known."

"Oh come on Parineeti! I want to go to the Bahama's or the Maldives even though we might get recognised! It's hot there and we have a beautiful sea with hot guys.." I say.

I'm already planning my entire trip. We leave by plane and we arrive at the Maldives. Then we go to a 5-star hotel and we swim in the sea. At night we get served delicious food and nobody is nagging. Everyone enjoys and we meet hot guys and we go to clubs. Everyone loves us and then we have to go back only difference being is that we now know everyone in The Maldives.
At the next summer we will go again and people will love us even more. The sun will shine brighter, the drinks will be cooler and the sea will be even more gorgeous than it was....

"Ehm.... hello...... Alia?......" Shraddha says softly

I hear a vague noise in the background but I carry on dreaming about the Maldives and the Bahamas.

"HELLO I'M TALKING TO YOU STUPID!" Shraddha screams.

I'm startled.
"Oh uhm, what were you saying Pari?" I say.

Shraddha rolls her eyes and Parineeti laughs. "Idiot I was talking" Shraddha says.

"Anyways, Shraddha and I have decided to go somewhere where Bollywood is not very known. It's safer for us, but it's kind of cold there. But it's getting warmer there every day! And Karan has a mansion there I believe", Parineeti says doubtful.

"What is it? I ask.

I hope that it's not of those weird countries with weird people like-

"Alia, we're going to the Netherlands!"
They both say.

I sigh. Then we see a very sleepy Arjun approaching with Sid and a dressed Varun.

"We'll talk later about this! I'm not going to Amsterdam! It's freaking cold there" I say angrily.

I then turn around to face the boys with my sweetest smile. "Good morning everyone! Late night?"

Sid frowns, Arjun yawns and Varun nods.

"Alu, I want food. Give me food" Varun says.

I pass some pancakes. " Parineeti made them. They're nice right?"

They all nod.

Soon we finish food and we sit there talking.

Varun's P.O.V
Alia is sitting on the bed, watching tv in the room. She is watching some detective serie.

I approach her and sit next to her.
"Hey.."

"Hey Vee.. What's up?", I ask her.

"Nothing... just watching Netflix..."

I decide to go straight to the point. "Hey uh.. did you had a nightmare yesterday?"

"Yeah? How did you know?" She pauses the tv and looks with a confused look to me.

"Well, you were talking in your sleep, and you looked very tensed..."

"Yeah.. I just had a really bad nightmare.."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, it's fine.."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I am..."

"You know, I did it again yesterday.. The whole thing with your memories and stuff."

Alia smiled. "You take way too much care of me Vee.."

I hugged her. "That's why I'm here okay? If you ever need anything, I'm here Alu"

I smiled. "I know."

Skip time- 14.15
Shraddha 's P.O.V
We all decided to go shopping. I'm walking with Sidharth . We're a bit behind as we stopped to look into a shop. The others kept on walking.
"Hey" I shout. "You keep on walking we're coming in 10 minutes"

Sid stops. He walks to a watch store.

"Wow, Shraddha look how beautiful this watch is! I'm going to buy it. Are you coming along?"

I shake her head. " No thanks. I think I'll just stay here"

"Suit yourself"

He walk into the shop and asks something to the owner.

Skip time —> 20 minutes

I've been waiting for 20 minutes now. It's getting a bit dark.

Damn, how long will this boy take to look for a watch. I look into the shop.
I see Sidharth glaring at the watches as if they're candy. I sigh. I'm really tired and I want to go home. I look on phone. 17.34. We've been shopping for 3 hours and I've been waiting for 20 minutes. Suddenly I get a text from Alia.

Alu😘
Where are you Shrads?
It's starting to become darker

Shrads🤩
I'm coming. Sid just went to look
for a watch. He is taking so long🙄

Alu😘
Okay. Take your time. We are going home. See you there❤️

Shrads🤩
Okay, see you soon

I decide to call Sid. But he doesn't pick up. I walk into the store.
"Sid, I'm going home okay? I'm really tired and hungry"

"Yes okay. I'm almost done but I guess I'll see you at home. Bye Shraddha"

I walk out of the shop again.
Wow, this is weird. I look at my phone and I see it's 17.40 and it's so much darker now.

I walk through the streets and I have the feeling someone is following me.

Suddenly I get pushed into a dark street with a lot of trash in it. I look up to see who it is. It's a man of around 45 years and he smells like alcohol.

"Madam kahaan jaa rhi ho? It's very late, madam ji. Kyun tum aise akele ghoomte raat ko? It's not safe Madam. Chalo aao humare hi saath chalo"

( Madam, where are you going? Why are you wandering the streets alone at night? Come walk with me")

He touched my face gently and I kicked him into his balls. I ran away but I fell because of all the trash that was laying there.

I was laying there helpless. My feet hurts and I'm not able to stand up. I think that my ankle is sprained. Suddenly someone picks me up and pushes me against the wall again.

"So u want to play a game na, I'll show u" the man says.

I screamed. But he covers my mouth with his hand. Nobody heard me. I start crying. I feel disgusting. I think I need to puke.

He starts kissing me aggressively. He
rocks his hips against mine and he moans. Suddenly I feel his erection. Eww!

I bite him with all the force I have but he doesn't seem to care. He is not showing any emotions except for lust in his eyes.

He pulls back and I scream and then he covers my mouth with his mouth again. He stomps on my foots and he hits me in my belly. He now kisses me again. He slaps me then kisses me again.
I start to cry again. He pulls back and he looks at me. "Oh madam you don't want this na?"
I nod heavily. I'm trying to escape but he is still pinning me to the wall.

" you don't have any other choice you slut. If you're wearing short clothes you ask to be raped!" He slaps me again Hard. I see blood on his hand. He stomps my feet again and they hurt even more. I then feel his mouth again and I fight while he is trying to unzip my pants. I scream even though nobody can hear me. I bite in his hand, I kick him in the balls, I scratch his face with my nails.

He looks at me.
"You little..."
He slaps me so hard that I feel like I can faint every moment. I can't do anything anymore. He slaps me again and kisses me. I cry silently. His eyes are growing darker with the seconds and he pushes me. I fall.

He bows forward and he kisses me aggressively again while squeezing the life out of me in order to keep me on the ground. He slaps me. And I lose control... god please help me before this idiot touches me any further....

Then I hear the sound of glass breaking. The man gets pushed away and I hear someone punching him. He screams and whines but nobody hears him.
I try to see who beats him up but I can't. My vision was blurry due to my tears.

I quickly pull my pants up but I can't stand up straight.
After a while someone helps me while I'm trying to walk. I cry silently.

"Shraddha, it's okay, I'm here now. He's gone okay..."

"I.. I can't ..w..wa..walk " I say while crying. My feet hurts so much"

The person wipes my tears. I look at him.

"S..S....Sid......w....what..."

He puts his finger in front of us mouth, gesturing me to be silent. He then carries me bridal style and he walks to the park. He sits down and I move with a lot of pain next to him.

I start crying again. Sid pulls me into his lap and he hugs me. He gazed forward with a dull look into his eyes.

"S...Shra...Shraddha... I.i..m s...sorry" he says emotionally. " If I hadn't gone to the store so long than none of this would have happend.

"Sid..... you can't think like that. At least you saved me yaar.."

I cry.
"Sid... why did he do it? "

He looks at me as if this all is his fault.
His voice crackes.

" Shraddha... Oh Shraddha. I'm so sorry...

I think because he finds you hot...... I dunno"

His voice cracked throughout the sentence.

He wipes my tears. " He did said sort of why" I said. " Because I'm wearing shorts! Shorts! Freaking shorts Sid!"

Sid looks at me.
I'm very angry and sad.

"That's so dumb. I won't go to you and smack your head with a hammer just because you weren't wearing a helmet."

I smile. This boy always makes me smile. I pull away. He looks at me very sadly. I move away from his lap.
"Ahh.. it hurts"

"Can I take a look?"

He slowly takes off my shoes and he carries me to the tree with a river next to it. He takes of his shirt and he runs to the water. He makes his shirt wet and he then divides it into 2 parts. One goes around my left foot and the other on the right foot. I whine slightly and Sid then sit next to me. I start crying again and I lean against Sid. He pulls me into a hug and I feel he himself cries as well. We sit there crying silently in the dark under a tree, next to the water with a moon above us.

Eventually we separate. I wipe his tears. "Sid, why're you crying?"
"I'm so so sorry Shraddha. If only-"
"It's not your fault Sid. The man is to blame.."
" What did he do to you Shraddha...."
" He didn't come to 2 Sid.... if you're weren't there then-"
"Shhh... let's not talk about that"

I cry again. Sid wipes my tears and kisses me on my forehead.

I put my head on his shoulder. He immediately takes my hand, knowing it will comfort me.
" Sidharth...."
" Hmm"

" Thank you. Thank you for saving me Sid. If you wouldn't been there than-"
" Shraddha...... I'm your friend. I'd do anything for you.."

We stayed there, sitting quietly. We watched the ducks swimming in the river and we listened to the wind. To the night. But most importantly we listened to each other's breath. We were breathing at the same time. His hand was in my hand and my head was
on his shoulder. We had each other's warmth. But most importantly :
We had each other.

Third Person P.O.V

It was around 9 when he called a cab. He helped her walk and when she couldn't anymore he carried her. She had her shoes in her hands and she was looking at him in amaze.

When the cab came they rushed home. They both had been getting multiple phone calls and messages but simply didn't bother to answer after what just happened.

When they finally arrived home everybody was relieved that they were finally home. Shraddha told Sid to explain while she sat down and let all of it process her mind. Sidharth told the short version to everybody. Although he didn't tell that they sat a while in the park after that. Shraddha was confused. Why wouldn't he want to say that?
Alia and Parineeti rushed to Shraddha. Alia comforting her while Pari grabbed the first aid kid.

Varun and Arjun were shocked and tried to let Shraddha be happy and make her laugh. Alia went to Sidharth and comforted him as did Pari.

When they were done helping Shraddha with her feet they left Sid and Shraddha alone for a moment.

Sidharth's P.O.V
I go sit next to Shraddha. She has her feet into a feet bad and she seems that she is enjoying it. I pull her into a hug and kiss her temple. She is shocked by the action.

I pull back. She is blushing.
"It's okay Shraddha. It's just me"
"I know Sid. It's just my Sid"

I smile. My Sid. It sounds amazing. I help her with her feet while the other come back.
"I'll clean up the feet bad" said Varun.
"Do you need help Varun ?" said Arjun.
"If you want you can help" Varun said.

Alia says goodbye to me and Shraddha. "VD, hurry up or I'll sleep without you!" She screams.

"No Alu, we have to sleep at the same time" he says.
She laughs and makes her way upstairs.
Parineeti also says goodbye to me and Shraddha. She then goes upstairs. Varun and Arjun also say goodbye and go.

Now it's just us.
" Do you need help with walking Shraddha?" I ask. "I'm fine Sid"
But I see the way she walks and how much pain she has. I mean that dog stood in her feet multiple times when her ankle was bruised already because she fell!

Without a word I lift her up. She smiled and murmurs under her breath that I know her too good. I walk towards the stairs and slowly climb them with Shraddha in my arms. There is barely enough space but I manage to make it. She sighs when I put her down and she "walks" towards the bed.
"Sid, I'm too tired to change come sleep please" she says.

I look at her. Sleeping in shorts will make you very uncomfortable. I'll call one of the girls to change you.
I go to Arjun's room. I knock and I enter. I see Arjun tickling Pari and she laughs. Then Pari starts to tickle Arjun and he simply pushes Parineeti on the bed. They don't notice me until I cough.
" Eh Pari, could you help Shraddha change? She doesn't want to but I think it's very uncomfortable to sleep in shorts"
" Of course!" She walks away.

I stare at Arjun. He looks a bit awkward..

" So, what's going in between you and Parineeti Arjun?" I laugh.

He blushes and looks shy. "Nothing man. She just didn't want to go to sleep."

"Yeah sure...."

"It's true!"

Then Pari comes back. "It's fixed Sidharth. You can enter. Bye"

"Thanks Parineeti and Arjun. Bye!"
As I enter I see Shraddha waiting for me.
" 5 minutes than I'm coming okay?"
She nods.

After 5 minutes I return in my sweatpants. I slide under the sheets and Shraddha slides against me.
I turn off the light.

" Thank you again Sid" she says.
She crawls on my chest and wraps one arm around me.
I'm shocked.
" Am I too close Sid?" She looks at me with a worried face.
"No Shrads, not at all. It's okay. And don't thank me all the time. It was my duty to help my Shraddha out of danger."

She relaxes. I wrap my arm around her as well. I can smell her hair. It's so sweet. She turns her head to look at me with cute eyes.
" Why didn't you tell them about our time in the park?"
I blush but she can't see it in the dark.

"Shraddha......"

"Sidharth........"

She goes to lie on my chest again.

"I felt that it was a bit more private. We don't have to tell them everything. Do you want me to tell it?" I ask

" No Sid. Actually I was glad that you didn't. I'm really wondering......what have I done to deserve such a good friend. You're amazing yaar"

I blush again. She looks up again and comes close to my face. She then falls into the pillow next to me. She is looking right into my eyes.

"You're amazing Sid. Never forget that. Ever."

She come close and she presses a kiss on my forehead. She is just about to lay on my chest again, as I stop her and press a kiss on her temple.
She smiles.

She lays on my chest again. I relax.
" Goodnight Sidharth." Shraddha presses a kiss on my chest.
" Goodnight Shraddha" I wanted to press a kiss on her temple but she lifts her face up so I accidentally kiss her very closely to her lips.
" Sorry", I murmur.
She smiles widely and goes to sleep again. " Goodnight Sid"
"Goodnight Shraddha"

"It's okay Shraddha. It's just me"
"I know Sid. It's just my Sid"

He dreamed about these words

" No Shrads, not at all. It's okay. And don't thank me all the time. It was my duty to help my Shraddha out of danger."

She dreamed about these words
