Chapter 8: Arjun Saved Her

Those guys noticed that someone was calling her name and coming towards them, "Hurry up guys, make it fast! Before he comes let us put her inside the car and take her away from Anjuna" one of them said wickedly.

Arjun started running towards them. It was his usual behaviour when drunk that if anything made him angry, he became very aggressive. He totally lost his control and reached out for them with a jump! He then started hitting them with his tough kicks. All of them got beaten up and started running away from that place. Arjun was still beyond control and he kept dragging them back on the ground, and they were now bleeding due to his hard-hit punches on their faces. They started begging him to let them go.

Saniya tried to stop him now, "Arjun leave now, let them go, please... You have beaten them up enough to teach them a good lesson. If you beat them any more then they will get hospitalized and ultimately we will be in trouble...."

"No Saniya let them die! I will take care if any problem arises; I will handle whatever comes out from this matter but I am not going to leave them" he was furious.

Saniya pleaded, "Arjun please listen to me, please calm down. I don't want to put you into any trouble; I want to spend my time with you happily."

Arjun paused and looked fiercely at those guys, "You idiots, I am leaving you just because of her. I guess you dirty minds do not belong to Goa, as none of the residents here will do this mean thing. Goa is very safe and here people have respect for others' freedom. People in Goa always welcome the tourists and they will never try to harm or cheat us. All the girls who visit Goa are sure that it is safe here to roam about on the streets even after midnight, even when drunk and not fully conscious. Don't you dare to damage the reputation of Goa, and to bring a blot on the people here by your heinous actions? If you have come to Goa to enjoy then you can enjoy but don't disturb others or else I will disturb your life," Arjun warned them strictly.

"Get lost from here before the local people come to know about this incident, or else they will kill you and throw you guys in the sea. They will not be quite at this; for them, every tourist is very important and they are all the more conscious about a girl's safety" he said as he had a very high opinion about the people of Goa.

After those guys had left the spot, Saniya burst to cry. Arjun held her close, "hey Saniya, relax my dear. Just calm down and stop crying. Look at me; I am there for you always. It was my mistake that I didn't come to pick you up from Tranz...... I really forgot! Please forgive me; it will never happen again. I will never leave you alone till you are in Goa. Make yourself very comfortable and don't worry about anything my dear..."

Arjun wiped her tears and gave her a hug saying "hey dear it doesn't look good at all when tears roll down your attractive eyes and even I am getting very upset that a beautiful woman like you is crying before me like a little girl......"

On hearing this Saniya smiled slightly while the tears were still there in her eyes. It was for the first time that a young guy had hugged her so passionately. She felt safe & secure, and although shy, she hugged him back. It was like a divine blessing that someone was there to care of her so that she would not feel lonely any more now. At that moment she also realized that Arjun was the guy she had been waiting for, for so many years.

Every girl nurtures this dream that her man should be caring towards her and should be strong enough to protect her. Arjun was exactly that way, but Saniya was unaware that dreams may not become a reality always and that this special moment would not last lifelong. She did not know about Arjun's nature and she was mistaken in assuming that Arjun had also started liking her.

Arjun said, "Saniya, come let's go inside the pub now, my friends are waiting to greet you. I will introduce you to all of them. Come let's go and be very normal in front of them, do not tell anyone about whatever just happened outside...."

"Yes as you say, but Arjun..." Saniya halted suddenly.

He asked her, "What's wrong Saniya? Are you fine?"

"Yes, I am, but Arjun..." she was hesitant to speak up.

Arjun asked again, "What happened? Tell me, dear...."

Saniya was stammering, "I haven't brought cash with me...... do they accept ATM card?"

Arjun looked astonished, "ATM...? Cash.....? What for......?"

Saniya explained, "For the entry passes obviously, to the Dukes." Arjun said, "Oh! Come on dear it's our own pub, my friend and I run this pub together"

"Stop joking Arjun. You never told about it to me" she said.

"Really it is our pub, trust me dear. If you don't believe this then come with me and just see, nobody will stop you or ask you for an entrance pass" he told her.

Saniya was glad to hear this. "O really, if it so, then let us go inside."
