Chapter 5

Jack along with Aaron reached the guest house. The slut who has been waiting for Jack there tried to seduce him but he shouted at her and send her out. He kept drinking angrily while thinking about Kathleen. The slap has been revolving in his head. It’s the first time someone slapped him. He felt so embarrassed when she slapped him in front of everyone. 

He threw the glass angrily to the wall and screamed looking at the ceiling. He pulled his hair frustratingly and his face reddened. 

“Jack!” Aaron tried to control him but Jack's angry glare made him froze. 

He was fuming more that made him destroy all the furniture in the living hall. Aaron felt scared looked at him so he didn’t even attempt to stop Jack. 

After destroying everything, Jack placed his hands on his hips and tried to control himself. 

“I’m going to destroy her life.” Jack shouted. 

“Jack! You should calm down. We’ll think about it later.” 

“How dare she? She bloody slapped me in front of our classmates.” 

“She definitely deserves punishment. But not today.” 

“She is going to regret her whole life for slapping me.” 

Jack kept cursing Kathleen and Aaron was silently listening to him. Aaron tried to control him but Jack’s anger cannot be controlled easily. They both poured their drinks in the glasses and continued drinking. Jack drank more than he usually drink. Cursing her, he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep. After few minutes of drinking, Aaron too fell asleep. 

The next morning they both woke up hearing the ringtone of Jack's cell phone. The call was from Jack’s father. Lazily Jack answered the call and talked to his father for few minutes then he cut the call.

Jack’s father does many businesses and they are so rich, reputed in their city. They have everything and can get anything at their fingertips but the only thing that always bothers them is Jack. They knew about Jack and his behaviour totally. They tried so much to change him but all their efforts always went in vain. Jack rarely goes to his house. He always spends his time with his friends at guest house and do ridiculous things. 

They both got ready and reached the college. Before Jack step out of his car, he told Aaron “I’m going to get her bro. I won’t wait for her to accept me. I’ve wasted my time and I don’t want to waste it anymore.” 

“So what will you do?” Aaron asked. 

Looking at Aaron, Jack tugged his lips to a side. Aaron smiled looking at Jack's evil eyes as he understood what he meant. 

They both got out of the car and reached their classroom. When Kathleen saw them, her expression turned angry. But she ignored them and kept doing her work. After few hours, when Kathleen and Nina was going to the canteen, Jack stopped their way. 

“Kathleen! I want to talk to you. Please.” His eyes looked pleading but no one knew what his actual intentions were. 

Without saying anything, Kathleen started strolling away. 

“Kathleen please! Listen to me once.” 

“What?” she shouted. 

“What I did was wrong. I was drunk and not in my senses. I shouldn’t have done that. I am so sorry. Please forgive me.” 

“Done saying?” Kathleen asked without giving a shit about what he said. 

“No. I have to tell you something more. I’ve been irritating you for the past many months and I don’t want to do it anymore. I sincerely apologise for my mistake. You won’t get irritated by me from today.” 

He said and went away from there. Kathleen and Nina froze listening to his words. Nina kept looking at him while he was going away, with shocked face. Kathleen felt so happy listening to him whereas Nina stood in utter shock. 

“Kat! What did I hear? Am I dreaming?” Nina asked without even looking at Kathleen. 

Kathleen pinched her arm so hard that made her come out from shock. 

“It’s real.” Kathleen said raising her eyebrow. 

“But how? Why?” 

“With the slap I gave, he realized I’m not the girl for him. So he dropped.” 

“My Kat is not only beautiful and intelligent but also Feisty.” 

They both felt really happy and Kathleen felt like a part of weight that she had on her shoulders was decreased. From that day, Jack stopped irritating Kathleen. They all were involved in their college works. Everything was going good but the only question that has been making Kathleen restless sometimes was ‘Who is the stranger?’ 

Kathleen started focusing on her writing works and she decided to concentrate only on her writing after college. The college came to an end and only one month left for their final exams. Everyone was in the classroom, busy with their works. Suddenly Jack entered in and announced there’s a party at his guest house on the occasion of his birthday. He invited everyone and they all cheered. 

While Nina and Kathleen started to go home, Jack called Kathleen from behind. 

He ran to them and stood in front of Kathleen. “Hi! It’s been really a long time talking to you. I... I just want you both to attend the party. Everyone will come. I’ll be glad with your presence there. Moreover, this might be the last time we talk. After this; exams, jobs, we all will part our ways. Please Nina. Please Kathleen.” 

“No Jack! We won’t.” Kathleen replied immediately. 

He shifted his gaze to the ground making a depressed face. He didn’t utter any word after she said she won’t attend. Jack started strolling away without even looking at her. Kathleen felt regret for talking to him rudely. 

“Leave it Kat! It’s your wish whether to go or not. You shouldn’t feel sad about this.” 

They reached home and freshened up. Though Nina was talking many things, Kathleen didn’t focus on any of her words. She kept thinking about Jack. 

“Hello Kitty-Kat! What are you thinking?” 

“Nina! I feel bad for talking to him like that. He didn’t even bother me from the past many days. He just asked us to attend the party. But I said a direct no. He might have felt so sad.”
