Episode 20

Lucas's Point Of View,

I just made my way to work. I have some important meetings to attend and it feels like they all are gonna wait for nothing. I am really not feeling like going and meeting them, all I could think about right now is her. What the hell she is thinking about and what she is hiding from me? I just do not know what I will do and how I will manage to find it. I was driving like slowly and people were honking behind me like crazy but who cares. I was driving and stopped the car when I heard my phone ringing.

"Hello sir good morning", I heard a familiar voice and I just got a little excited and curious about what information he got.

"Jen, good morning. Tell me what information did you get about her. I was waiting for your call you know", I said to him and I just heard him sigh and he did not say anything for some good seconds.

"Amm well, sir, she is really keeping a low profile. I only could get her home address and she is working at college. You already know the rest and also she did not get involved in any road accident and there is no information about her getting involved with any crime case too, but three years ago she used to visit the hospital often but I did not know why because the hospital did not share this personal information", he said and I just sighed, he could not get any specific information and I am really upset about it but it is fine coz he tried.

"It is okay Jen, thank you for all the information", I thanked him and I just do not know what to say now. I thought he will get all the information but he could not.

"I will try to dig for some more information. I maybe need some more time for that", I heard him say and I just agreed and hang up. He said that she used to go to the hospital often. What happened to her? Why she was going there? I need to know everything about her. I just started going to the hospital to ask them about her. I know that they do not share this information but there is no way that they could deny me. I was about to go that way but my phone started ringing once again.

"Sir, she came to college. She is looking so tired today", I got the information about her. There is a friend of mine in the college. I told him to take care of her and also asked him to tell me when she comes to the college so he did and now I heard that she is looking tired. That was obvious, she was tired.

She did not sleep well the last night and she was drunk too, so there are chances that she is having a headache too. Why she did not take a day off? She needed rest. Sometimes I think that she is changed a lot. She is so stubborn now.

The old Ava was just like a doll. She never protests. She used to do everything I say or anyone says but now I think that she hardly hears anyone. I just turned my car and made my way to the college. I really need to take care of her, no matter what happened in the past, my love for her could never change. Soon I reached the college and parked my car in the parking.

"Good morning Lucas. I thought you will not come back to the college. I am so happy to see you here. You know you are looking so damn handsome in this suit, but may I ask why you are wearing a suit in college. You do not look like a student now", the same girl again was standing in front of me and making me angry, but somehow I tried to control my anger. I do not want to hurt her feelings. I respect every girl so I know that she would feel bad if she will saw my other angry face.

"Go away little girl, you are wasting your time", I said to her in a cold tune. I saw how her face turned sad and tears build up in her eyes and I just cursed under my breath. I did not want to hurt her but I just did it right now. How I could be so stupid?

"You are really rude, but I know you. You are not really rude, you are a nice and kind guy. Then why you are trying to act this way", she said to me. She was sounding so upset and I just do not know what the hell I should say to her.

"Look I am sorry, but you know nothing. Just stay away from me, okay? I am not what you think", I just made my way from there. I know she was still standing there and looking at me but I did not turn my face to see her.

She is so annoying and can not she see that I am older than her. Why does not she find someone in her age group? That is really stupid. I made my way to the main hall and I stopped the moment I saw her. She was wearing a red dress and her beautiful eyes were looking so tired and swollen.

Why does it feel like she was crying? I hate this feeling. The thought of her crying makes me upset and if somehow I am the reason. I just do not know how I will forgive myself for hurting her.

"Ms. Ava, I was searching for you since morning. I wanted to tell you something for so long. Do you have some minutes for me", a guy was talking to her. Looks like he was a fresher. He looks like a kid.

"Amm, I am a little busy. Can I talk to you later please", she was trying to leave but he stopped her again?

"Miss, miss, please listen to me. I will not take time. It is just two minutes, please miss", he said and I saw she took a deep breath and nodded her head.

"Okay okay fine, tell me what is it", she asked. She was sounding frustrated. I know her so well. She is angry about what happened last night, and there are chances that she is angry with herself for not being able to control what happened.

"Miss, I wanted to tell you that I really like you. You are so pretty, miss. You really are so gorgeous like a goddess", he was having a shy smile on his face and he was looking down at the ground like someone will come out from the ground.

I saw how her expression changed and she was so irritated at this moment but she was trying her best to control her anger and the same thing was happening to me too. I was getting angry like hell. How dare he propose to her in front of me. I mean he did not know that I was here but what the hell he thinks of himself? He is still a kid and he is trying to get his teacher. That is really a big move, seems like someone needs a lesson.

"Look, whoever you are, you are a kid and you are here to study. You should focus on your studies. Did your parents send you here for all this rubbish? You look like a good student. You should not waste your time on all this. Go back to your classroom and study hard for your future", she scolded him and I noticed how sad he got. He was now making a puppy face and it looks like he was gonna cry anytime soon.

"But miss, I really like you. I have a lot of money and I will always keep you happy I promise", he said again and this time I felt that my veins were popping out from my skin, and wanna punch him hard in his face and wanna make his nose bleed. And this time I could not control my legs. I made my way toward him and held his collar.

"What the hell. Why you are bothering her, huh, seems like you have a death wish", I roared at him and he got scared about what happened all of the sudden.

"Lucas, what the hell do you think you are doing here", I know she will yell at me instead of saying anything to him. I did not listen to her. I was still holding him by his collar and he was trying to get rid of it but that was not easy for him. He is so small in front of me.

"Miss, please tell him to leave me", he was coughing hard and I just took a deep breath and throw him on the floor.
