Life time Memoirs 7

I was thunderstruck, even my group was. They began defending me, they said things like, Mahen would never do this Priya; Mahen isn’t that kind of guy; he would never steal from anybody whatever may the situation be and all these kinds of statements were going around. I was trembling with fear, I was so scared that I couldn’t utter a single word properly, then with a lot of courage I came up with a statement, trust me on this Priya, I know I do everything possible to trouble you but not this, I haven’t stolen anything from anybody ever…!!! I am not lying, I beg you to trust me, please Priya trust me….!!! Then I don’t know how I said it but I said it, in fact you should check Nitish’s bag, he was the one who was rushing out of this room when I returned from the science fair. But I realized that it was all in vain because I could see her eyes go red with rage, she with a very scary tone said ‘let me think’, by that time Abhivyakt, Dhairya checked Nitish's bag and found out the hundred buck note, but before they could tell that to Priya, she slapped me real hard, at least I thought so it was not me, she slapped the table that hard, I was relieved to see that, she turned to Nitish and said you idiot whatever may be between us, but still he is one of my best friends, one of my  mates, I know him very well and he would never ever do that. As soon as you named him I knew that it would have been you. Just get out I don’t want to talk to you. And remember no one calls my friend a ‘thief. Almost everyone was gone only we six were left in the room. But Priya was still angry, she turned to me and I don’t know why was feeling a bit scared, may be because of her temperament which was even higher than me, then again I heard a thunderclap, and this time it was not the bench it was me only, on my right cheek. Abhivyakt, Dhairya, Shivani, Mansi all were left jaw dropped and I was shocked, I didn’t understand what had just happened. She then angrily yelled at me, Mahen; you idiot how on earth you thought that I will trust that shit head and blame you for theft I know you are a bit of a loser and dumb head but you aren’t bad at heart, though you are a rouge guy but still would never cheat on your friends. We still fought, but now we both understood each other and these fights were merely for fun and we began sharing a bond of healthy friendship. It was as if we had accepted each other, but still we fought funny isn’t it.
