Friendship

After that incident, I have tried to gather information about Maddy and got to know that he was Rohan's best friend. They were group of five which included Sumit Rawat, son of Politician Vijay Rawat, Wahid Rahman and Bilal Rahman, both were brothers and son of famous businessman Zakir Rahman of Rahman Textiles. Maddy or Madhav has the lowest social status among the five guys because he was the son of District Magistrate.

These guys were not coming to school after that incident as I thought. I knew that Gawri had beaten them black and blue. But I would show them what a man punch feels like. I was three times Boxing champion of my previous school and well trained in all fighting forms.

My parents made me learn fighting from a very young age and whenever I asked them the reason. They said that "you need not to fight but you should know how to protect yourself from any danger or any weapon".

Fighting was my hobby and my stress buster but I promised my parents that I won't fight until I badly needed it. I desperately want to beat the hell out of those guys for hurting Gawri. How could they attack Gawri? Whenever I remember her pale face and bloody body, I wanted to punch something. I started practicing my fighting skill in full swing after school.

My father and John were surprised by this sudden change in me but I told them that it was my way to relieve stress. Adam and Tori left after three days of that incident. Tori didn't tell anything to Adam or dad and I was really thankful to her about that.

"Who is there? Show yourself or else you will regret" I waited for a second and then closed my eyes to focus on the sounds in surroundings. I heard a rustle just behind me at few meters distance and I throw my glove in that direction.

"Are you taking revenge on me?" she caught my boxing glove.

"Think of a devil and devil is here" I smirked and turned towards her. Her gaze was caressing my body and I hardened under her gaze.

"You think I am a devil" she approached me and handed over the glove to me.

"Does it matter what I think of you" I removed some gap between us. Why I couldn't control my emotions in front of her.

'BECAUSE YOU LOVE HER IDIOT' my inner self mocked me.

"No, I didn't mean that. I was just joking" she stammered. She stepped back and started warm up exercise.

"Don't you think working out can interfere in your recovery?" I was enjoying her warm up session. It was a treat for the eyes.

"I want to get fit as soon as possible to protect myself from any other attack" she answered while stretching.

"They won't attack so soon and the way you have beaten them, they must be recovering too" I sat in a corner.

"hmm, Gawri?" I paused a little.

"Yes" she took a light weight dumbbell in her right hand and slowly raised it. She was focused on her workout.

"Do you mind if I ask you why they have attacked?" I hesitated a little before asking.
