CHAPTER 11: Love letter

He was just about to press the trigger when the girl who was standing in the room closed the window. He thought for a while before pressing the trigger again. It didn't matter to him if the window got closed. The bullet was good enough to kill the target by passing through the glass but then he saw something which made him put the gun down in irritation. The girl had also covered the curtain across the window. Now the man couldn't even see what was going on inside the room.

"Ahh I cant shoot now. This was the easiest way to kill her. I can't shoot without having one hint about the position of the girl. Maybe you are lucky today girl, but how long will you be for? I'll be sure to accomplish my mission next time."

The man now put back the gun after keeping the stand in his black bag. He left the college from the walls backwards, to go back to his room and think of another plan. A more efficient one next time.

******

It was a bright new day in the campus. Riya and Zoya were in their respective classes keenly listening to the lecture and also perfectly taking down notes.

In no time, half the day completed and now the sun was ready to come up on the heads of the world. Riya was walking towards the canteen with Zoya. She had worn a white pair of jeans with a

baby pink crop top. Riya who was walking two steps behind Zoya suddenly saw a pink piece of paper emerging from her section of bag which was not zipped well. She took out the paper without Zoya realizing, only to see that the folded paper was full of red hearts. Riya stopped and took a look at paper. The moment she unfolded it, she understood what it was. It was a love letter.

Dear Zoya,

You probably don't know me well. But I know every single thing about you. How can I not? at the end of the day I love you. Zoya, I was never brave enough to confess my feelings for you directly, that's why I am writing you this letter. I want you to give me a chance to prove how sincerely I love you. So, finally I am asking you. Will you be my prom for the freshers night? This will be the first step for our love. I don't want you to answer my proposal immediately. Take your time and think about it and please remember, I will always love you no matter what.

Yours truly,

Madhav.

Riya felt so excited about the letter Zoya got. She paced towards Zoya and showed the letter to. Zoya soon heaved a sudden sigh and said "How did you get it?"

"I was fated to find about it. Tell me all about this Madhav. Is he handsome? How do you know him?you like him?"

"No Madhav is just my classmate. And I don't care if he is handsome or not because I don't like him." Zoya added.

Riya`s excitement went all down. This girl didn't even bother to tell her about the letter. Atleast not even care about the person who wrote the letter to her. It annoyed her slightly.

Zoya was now demanding Riya for the pink paper. Riya decided to play around with Zoya. She knew very well that Zoya always preferred privacy even regarding her smallest things. Love letter was indeed way to difficult for her to share about with everyone.

"I am not going to give you this. Infact, I was planning to announce it to everyone. Youngsters are always free to listen to some budding love. They wouldn't mind me reading this letter right?"

"Riya give it to me please. I am requesting you." Zoya pleaded and tried to pull the letter from Riya`s hand.

But she failed to do so. Riya moved away from Zoya and said" You are free to take it from me. Catch me if you can."

Zoya looked outraged. She sharpened her eyes at Riya and said "You asked for it captain".

After this, both the girls started running. Riya who was further away from Zoya, looked at her and teased her by sticking out her tongue by turning towards her and running backwards. Just as she was about to turn back to run faster, Riya hit her head to something. Or someone precisely.
