Rahul pov:

When I was holding Ritu someone pushed me and gave me a tight slap on my cheek. First I was in shock but soon my expression was changed into anger as I knew, who dared to do this.

I turned and held her neck to make her realise mistake. Which she did by slapping me twist. First time I didn't give it this important as I thought she is trying to save her friend but now she and her brother are planning to use her to make me down on my knees. Which I wouldn't let happened.

"L..E..T....ME....G...GO"

She wasn't able to speak properly as my grip was cutting the source of oxygen.

"Let her go..Rahul .are you planning to kill her? please..."

I really wish to kill the girl .who dared to snatch my girl. But I can't ignore Ritu . So I let her best friend Ridhi goes easily this time.

She started coughing badly, when my grip was loose on her neck. Ritu run inside to get some water to her and the same time I offer her water ,which I took out from my car.

"You should thankful to me"
I smirked after seeing that she finally drank it.

She glared me in return ,made me smirk widely.

"You should be thankful I'm not calling police otherwise you would be on jail."

I chuckled hearing her unsuccessful attempt to scare me. She is thinking her threat will work on me.

" you can call them . I would love to see ,how they are going to help you."

I took out my mobile and forwarded it. So she can use it. But she didn't do any attempt to call police , only giving me death glare.

"You can try sweetheart. I'm not stoping you"

I casually said and waited for her next move. But she didn't move from her place.

"I know boys like you. But she has me ,so you can't scare her.'

Her words sound like a challenge to me and I love challenge very much.

"You're thinking wrong. I don't want her to scare but i want her to love me like I do and about you being with her. Then you can't even save yourself.  Then how would you save her?"

My question made her a bit confused as she almost forgot the incident. When I had  sent goons to teach a lesson.

" You should think before slapping me next time because There isn't always someone come to your rescue. "

My words made her eyes widen and I'm sure now she understood that I'm the one ,who had sent goons that night to take my revenge as she had slapped me that day like she has done now.

"So you are the cheap person. Who is behind that cheap stunt . I must say it was a really cheap way to scare a girl."

Her words didn't anger me like last time as I know she still doesn't know with whom she is dealing.

"You're saying this because I'm behaving like a gentleman right now. If I'm in my usual self that I'm taking to you with my gun , not with my words."

I slide my cot a bit to show my gun to her and her eyes was big after seeing it and a hint of fear was also present there.

" who are you? "

She asked in hurry still looking at me.

"You already know my name and if you want to know more about me . Then ask your brother.  He surely will answer you sali ji.."

I winked and gestured me to look back, from where Ritu was coming with a bottle of water in hand. She was looking panicked for her friend.

" She is fine yet . But if she tries to come in my way ....she wouldn't be fine next time."

My words scared Ritu more than her supporter friend. Who tried to stand without showing any pain. But I know she surely would  be in pain because of my early stunt.

Ritu didn't say anything ,just held her friend's hand and started guiding her away for me. But her friend went to give me another glare of warning ,in return I gave her a goodbye. Which meant 'i will see you soon' as I already got the idea that our meeting won't be last like I thought in our first encounter.

Ritu pov:

I was feeling guilty for putting my friend in this situation. She was hurt due to my mistake. When first time she asked me about Rahul . I told her I don't know him. She trust my words and didn't ask further. But now she is in danger and the reason is behind it is me.

" You shouldn't cry. It isn't hurting anymore. "
Ridhi's words realised me that I'm crying without even my knowing.

" I'M S..O..R..Y.."

I broke down  and started crying while hugging her. She let me hug and crying until I stopped myself .

She took the water bottle and then offered me and I gulped it to relax my throat as I know .I have to explain everything to her.
Then started explaining everything about me and Rahul.

" so he is the same guy, who was sending you gift and card."

She questioned although she already knew the answer and I nodded in yes.

"Then why didn't you tell me this .when I slapped him for god sake he is a criminal. "

Ridhi shouted in worry and I started looking at ground feeling guilty , putting her life in risk because of me.

"I'm not angry to you ,Ritu . But he is a criminal. He already has sent goons to hurt me before. What if he does something like this to you or even me. He is hell angry to me . I slapped him twice. Although I don't know him being a gangster before but still he had tried to hurt me. Even a minute before she also ready to kill me."

Her words didn't shock me much as I know he is a criminal. So he can do something like this and after witnessing today's scene . I can't even doubt Ridhi.

I thought rejecting his offer while end everything but no he come back to meet me and ask another chance . He even promised me that he would be my friend until I'm not ready to become his girlfriend  but I rejected him as I don't want to do anything with him. That time he held my hand to stop me and I was trying to remove it. Which was seen by Ridhi. Who came to my rescue and slapped him. He wasn't aggressive that time. I thought he would forget everything even me but he show himself agajn after two days and proved me that he hasn't plan to leave me anytime soon.

I almost  forget to write Rahul and Ridhi's first meeting  but then I remembered about it. So I planned to write it . But the timeline is already gone. So I planned to write their second meeting as mostly  of you read their first meeting. So why write it again and again.

And thanks all of them ,who comments in previous chapter as I enjoyed it. And the right guess goes to all of them.
