BIDDING FOR HER (She was His to Win)

The sun is shining in the clear sky. One of its rays touched my face, the sunlight was so bright that it started stinging my eyes,

which broke my sleep and I yawned, and opened my eyes in an unknown room, somehow I opened my eyes and then I felt as if someone was lying on the bed next to me, my eyes were not fully open yet, on top of that a man was lying next to me.

I was shocked and looked at him. That man seemed to be sleeping. Then I looked at myself, I was without clothes. "What the hell". Why am I without clothes? And a man with tanned skin is lying next to me.

That man was very handsome to look at, for a moment I kept looking at him, then as I stood up while controlling myself, my head was bursting with pain, I started remembering something vaguely, slowly the whole scene of the night came in front of my eyes.

Last night...

today I am very sad, tears are not stopping from my eyes, my boyfriend whom I was dating for the last 3 years, was dating another girl of my college for the last 2 years and I did not even have a clue about this.

I kept trusting that boy with closed eyes. Everyone told me that boy is not good but I did not listen to anyone. For me whatever he used to say was the truth. They say that love is blind but in his love, I became blind.

My friend kept telling me that this boy is not right for me but I did not listen to her, how could I listen when I loved Vivek so much.

But what did he do, he cheated me along with Shruti. I was crazy that I believed his lies to be true and Shruti who was acting as my friend in front of everyone in the class, she and Vivek cheated me behind my back. Today I saw them with my own eyes breaking my trust.

Today I caught both of them red handed but they did not know that there was someone else in the room besides them, I saw everything with my own eyes, heard their conversation.

Shruti said "Vivek do you love anyone more me or Riya".

Vivek said smilingly *Of course Riya is nothing in comparison to you, I felt pity for her so I was with her. I love you and not Riya, so you should not worry that I will leave you" and both of them started laughing loudly.

I was so angry that I was not able to understand anything, I went wherever my path took me, when I regained my composure, I was standing in front of a pub and went inside without thinking anything.

I went inside and went straight to the bar counter and ordered drinks. I don't know how many drinks I had. I saw a handsome guy on the other side of the bar counter. I couldn't see his face, probably because of drinking too much. But I went to him and said, "You are very handsome. Would you like to spend some time with me?"

He stared at me and said, "I am not interested in young girls like you."

I was a young girl, but I calmed down my anger and said, "How can you say that without trying?"

He looked at me from top to bottom and said, "Whatever happens now, remember that you started it." That night we were completely lost in each other.

Present Day

Riya, you are crazy, how can you sleep with any unknown boy like this, before he wakes up and says something, run away from here or else you will get into a very bad situation. I wore my clothes and ran away from there, but I am having severe pain in my back, I was quite late so I went straight to college, I reached college with great difficulty, as soon as I entered the gate, someone put a hand on my shoulder from behind.

As soon as I looked back, it was my friend Reet. I hugged her. She didn't say anything for a while. Then she said, "Riya, where were you last night? I have been trying to call you since so long. Do you know how scared I was?"

"I am so sorry yaar. I was at the pub last night." Saying this, I told Reet everything about how Vivek and Shruti were cheating together. But I didn't tell her anything about me and that boy.

After listening to everything I said, Reet got very angry. Today she had all my share of anger too. Maybe that's why we are best friends, they make all our pain and sorrow their own.

"Oh my mother, calm down, we are already very late and if we get late then that uncle will make me stand outside the class", "Anyway his classes are very boring" said Reet, but somehow I took her inside with me.

After going inside, Reet went to take her class and I came out of my class. To see how the class which was always noisy was so silent today, I looked through the glass on the class gate and saw a handsome teacher taking attendance. His back was towards the gate so I couldn't see his face.

And I started looking at him, "yaar he is so handsome", meanwhile his face turned towards me, looking at him my eyes remained wide open and I was left breathless, "he...what is he doing here" he was the same person with whom I was last night and how did he reach here so quickly,

Wait a minute, I was with my teacher last night.

"God, for what mistake are you punishing me? First I have had a breakup and on top of that I have spent the night with a stranger and he is a teacher in my class in my college. What could be worse than this?"
