Nisha: "Mina… why is there so much noise? Let's go check outside."
Both of them stepped out of the room. The noise was coming from one floor below, so they quickly ran downstairs. By the time they reached, the guard had already caught a thief.
Mina: "Priya, what happened?"
Priya (Room 104, hostel first floor, same college): "A thief broke into the hostel… the guard caught him."
Nisha: "A thief in our hostel? Did he steal something? And who saw him first?"
Just then, Rima came upstairs to the first floor, a little out of breath, to grab her phone from her room.
Rima: "Yeah… when I went into the bathroom, I saw someone standing on the left side. I immediately ran out into the hallway shouting."
Mina: "Where is the thief now?"
Priya: "Downstairs with the guard… the warden is calling the police."
Nisha's face turned serious.
Nisha: "What is this? A thief sneaks into our hostel, hides in the bathroom… and we'll just hand him over to the police? He'll be out in two days and come back again. I'm going down to make sure he doesn't forget this lesson. Mina, Rima, Priya… are you coming?"
Mina: "Nisha… why do you look so dangerous right now? What are you planning to do?"
They all went downstairs… Neha was already there, hitting the thief with a metal pipe.
Neha: "How did you get into the hostel? And why were you hiding in the bathroom?"
Just then Nisha arrived, holding a wooden stick. Without wasting a second, she began hitting the thief.
Nisha: "What all did you steal from here? Come on, show me!"
Nisha was one step ahead of Neha in beating him. With every hit, her anger was clear. Seeing this side of Nisha, Mina felt a bit afraid.
Mina (thinking): "Good thing I didn't try to grab Nisha's hand… she might have hit me instead."
The hostel girls were in shock. Just yesterday Nisha seemed sweet and calm, but today she was in a completely different mood. Even Neha was thinking: "Is this really the same Nisha who looked so cute yesterday?"
Nisha: "Why did you go into the bathroom? What were you trying to steal in there?"
Thief (crying): "Please don't hit me… aaaaa… forgive me… I'll never steal again."
Nisha: "First tell me, why did you go into the bathroom?"
Thief: "I was taking something from a room… then I heard someone coming. I quickly ran out, and the bathroom was right there, so I thought no one would come at night… but then a girl showed up."
Neha stopped hitting him… but Nisha's stick was still swinging.
Nisha: "How dare you enter a girls' hostel… and on top of that hide in the bathroom?"
Thief (thinking): "Looks like she's going to keep hitting me forever… I have to do something."
The next moment, he slammed his head hard against the wall. Blood started dripping from his forehead.
Mina quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nisha's hand.
Mina: "Nisha, let him go now… his forehead is bleeding. If the police arrive now, they might file a case against you too."
