NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38: Hug.
After the fight, Alex didn't go to his class. Instead he went to chemistry lab.
He was angry and he knew that if he went to classroom, he might burst on someone else unnecessarily.
But he didn't noticed that someone else followed him.
Anna just wanted to check on him. No one else noticed but she did, that Alex's hand was bleeding after he punched James.
She came to chemistry lab and his back was facing her. He didn't even sensed her presence because of his anger.
Her eyes searched for a medical kit and when she saw it, she took it and touched Alex's shoulder.
"Alex...."
Hearing this voice, Alex knew who is there. "What are you doing here?" Alex can't help but control his anger a little seeing her.
"Give me your hand." Anna softly said.
"Its nothing. You go to your class. Don't disturb me."
"Alex, I said give me your hand." Anna again demanded.
"Anna.." Alex was going to burst on her but she immediately hugged him. She put her hands on hug back and her head on his shoulder. She started rubbing his back.
"Control Alex. Take deep breath. In and out. In and out." Anna demonstrated but she didn't know that his anger was now changed to shock expression.
"You okay now?" Anna asked still hugging him. Alex put his one hand on her back.
"Hmm."
"Once again take deep breath. In and out..."
"I'm okay."
"Sure?" Anna confirmed and Alex nodded.
She pulled away from him and took his hand and applied ointment on it. Anna had thought, it might hurt him but he was silent.
She herself asked, "Is it hurting?"
"No."
She was surprised. He wasn't complaining but unknown to herself, his anger was already subside when she hugged him.
Right now, he was in shock. She hugged him and this would have been the first time any girl has hugged him like this except his sisters.
Anna bandaged the cut. "Don't let your hand be near water. If you want to use, use your other hand."
"How did you know that I was injured?" asked Alex.
"I saw what happened in the ground, what you did to James and his car." Spoke Anna while re-arranging the kit.
"You don't hate me for what I did? How I showed my anger." asked Alex carefully.
"Well, you did what was right. These rich people need to be taught a lesson, but not every rich person is same. Some of them are down to earth also but one need to maintain equality. How you managed the situation and did not shouting on him but made his car dirty was best." Said Anna. She meant this.
Alex sighed in relief that alteast she isn't afraid of him.
But Anna spoke again, "But you will be either suspended or rusticated. His father is really school's shareholder."
"Don't worry. I will manage."
"Why did you hugged me?" suddenly asked Alex.
"Because sometimes a hug can minimize the anger. You surely have anger issues."
"Hmm. I developed them some time back only."
She put the kit back into its place. "Getting angry is normal. But being always angry is also not good for physical and mental health. You must take some lessons."
"You are quite concerned about me.Hmm?" said Alex with a smile.
"Yeah I'm. After all you are my friend and the one who is going to fulfill my wishes." Anna honestly replied. Nothing will happen if she hides it. She really consider him as her good friend.
Anna knew he can manage. Alena had told her he had some unknown background but still she wanted to safe him.
When she came out of the lab, she took out her phone and dialed a number, "I need your help."
...
Soon classes started and Anna, attentively listened to all the lectures.
But on other hand, Alex was called in Director's office.
"Alex, what have you done this time. You know I can never say anything to you."
"That is not uncle. The one who is wrong needs to be taught lesson."
Yes! The director of the school was none other than his own uncle. He never boasted about it and no one knew this, because he wanted to live like normal, ordinary person.
"Go to your class. I will talk with the principle."
Alex nodded and walked towards his class.
But he received a call,
"Young Master?"
"What it is?"
"First Young Master wants to meet you."
