After the departure of the troublemakers of her serene life, Akira called the only person she trusts; Maryam. She explained to her the unwanted situation she was in and the latter promised to arrive in no time.

Sitting on the stairs in front of the main door, looking completely wrecked, Akira contemplated on the humiliation she has received. She was disgraced and couldn't dare to look anyone in the eye.

All credit goes to Veer.

When Maryam arrived, she burst into tears. At least there was someone who cared for her. "It's alright Akira. Don't cry. I'm with you." Maryam wiped her tears and dragged her to the car; she opened the door and even helped her to sit inside. Akira was on low energy as she had missed lunch, supper and it was already dinner time.

"Don't worry. This time I will make them pay so hard that they regret why they were even born, no one messed with my friends and get away with it, two blows in a day, they are inviting death."

Akira leant on the seat and rolled the window down causing the cold breeze of the night to flow inside. Her hair moved on her face but she didn't complain and kept watching the skyscrapers passing in a blur disappearing by the next moment.

She was exhausted and couldn't deal with teen drama any longer.

"No Maryam, it's enough. I had enough."

"No Akira, this is unfair so what because of money speaks, they can't torture maybe they have forgotten but I also belonged to one of the wealthiest families here so if they harm you, they are harming me and I never spare my enemies."

All of the sudden Maryam applied the brakes causing both girls to fall forward but they escaped from injury due to seatbelts. A girl was leaning on the car. When she raised her head, they realized it was none other than Sameera, Sania's cousin. She was panting and tear stains covered her cheeks.

Akira and Maryam shared an eye contact and stepped out of the car. Sameera lunged herself at Maryam and started crying. "What happened?" Maryam asked while holding her trembling body. At the same moment, three guys came out of nowhere and stood a few feet away from them. Without wasting time, Sameera hid behind Maryam using her as a shield to protect her from the eve teasers.

"Think we'll get lucky tonight," said one of them.

This is it. Akira agrees fully with Maryam. It's true that she can't live her whole life in fearing others. The more you show you're scared, the more they scare you. Akira removed the gun out of her bag and pointed it at them with a serious look plastered on her face.

Both girls were bewildered by her sudden action but they kept mum.

"Get in the car right now."

Akira ordered while still glaring at those perverts. Sameera and Maryam got in and she started the engine. The boys started to back off slowly causing her to lower the gun and rushed inside the car.
