" Now let's rehearse the most exciting part.... " saying that he moved near to my ear and his next word made my heart jump out of its place. " Our First Night"

My daze broke out when I felt my Dupatta ( shawl) creeping out. Then only saw Dupatta did not creep on its own. Siddarth removed it before I could hold it.  When I did realise that he was holding me in one hand I pushed him hard using my whole strength. He stumbled back from a sudden impact and I tried to run towards the door. But unfortunately, he caught me when I neared the door and slapped me hard.

Due to the force, I fell and my head hit on the edge of the vanity table. My eyes were drooping down and could not hold back.  What was happening? No, I could not get unconscious now. I had to run away from here. But I could not control what was happening to me. Last thing I remembered was his animalistic look and laugh before darkness consume my eyes and mind. And the last thing I thought was it was better, I would never wake up in this cruel world once again. Because no one deserves this life.

I felt sharp pain and could not move my body. Where am I? It was like my eyes were plastered together and a little hard to be opened. Trying my utmost I opened my eyes but immediately closed them due to the brightness. Adjusting to the contrast I managed to open it slowly and blinked my eyes to get rid of the fogginess. The first thing I noted was the white colour ceiling. When I tried to move my head I felt a sharp pain from the neck to head and hissed due to immense pain. I hoisted my right hand, and then only I noticed there was an IV connected to my hand.

When my eyes moved a little up I saw a figure standing near the ceiling window and talking on the phone. Suddenly that figure turned to my side and revealed it was non-other than Kavya. Looking at me, her eyes went wide and disconnecting the call she ran out like she saw a ghost.

I slowly got up and tried to sit but my body pained like hell. Then only I properly understood that I was in a hospital room. I closed my eyes for a while and tried to remember what happened and how did I end up there?

Then only gradually everything started to appear in front of my eyes. That memory terrified me to the core and started to panic. I could not remember what happened after I got fainted. Chances of what could have happened terrified me more and my head started to pain like it was going to blast.

I heard the door opening sound and frantically I looked up in fear of who might be it.  Seeing him I felt relieved from distress but looking at him, some kind of nervousness crept into my heart by thinking what was happened earlier.  Anyhow I could not stop my emotions and tears started rolling down from my eyes. All I want him to hug me tight.

Like he read my running thoughts he approached me with long strides and within a few seconds I was locked in his embrace...  I could not cry out loud because my throat has gone dry due to lack of hydration. " Shhhh..baby don't cry. Please don't take stressed. It's not good for your health. " saying that he caressed my head.

A few minutes later when my cries subsided I felt dizzy and my hold on him got loosened. " Kayal ...Kayal" Karthik called me like he realised my state and he retreated still holding me in place.

" Hey, let's get you some rest ." Saying he carefully made me leant to the pillow. I felt a little better and holding my hand he kissed it still looking into my eyes. His gestures were overwhelming and a tear leaked through my eyes. " K...Karthik, what happened and ...." he cut me off saying, " First, take some rest without worrying your mind. We will talk later ." He said in a strict finalised voice wiping my tears. 

I felt someone's presence and averted my eyes to see Kavya standing near the entrance with a blank face. All this time did she was there? Karthik followed my vision and turned around his head. Like it did not affect him, he turned to me and gestured to close my eyes. When I did not do as he said, he gave me a hard look and immediately I closed my eyes and I did not know when deep sleep consumed me.

Two days later...

It was being two days since I was discharged from the hospital. Neither Karthik nor Kavya did not utter anything regarding what happened. The doctor told me that I was all good to go home but advised me to do not to take stress. Last day only I was shocked to know that the doctor was Karthik's friend. Now I understood why he was so much generous with me.

I had no idea what happened to that scoundrel Siddarth and most importantly no one visited me from Susila Aunty's family.
Whenever I tried to talk about that incident,  by giving me a hard look Karthik made me shut my mouth.  Even I did not know where was Father. He also did not try to see me at least for one time. Did he not feel a slight pain knowing what happened to me?

Nowadays sleep was far away from my eyes and I always wake up with a panic, sweat dripping face due to nightmares in the middle of the night. So understanding my condition even Karthik started to join me for sleep. Only his embrace was giving me the feeling of security, so he would not be ready to leave my side even after I have opposed to him numerous times. 

I was fed up staying in darkness without knowing what happened. That one question bothers me a lot...

What happened?

What happens?

What happened??????????

This brother and sister irritated me a lot with their silent mood. As far as I noticed last two days Karthik did not go to his office and most of the time stayed near to me like a hawk . But did not see Kavya yesterday, so I assumed she went to her work yesterday but since today Karthik had to move his ass to work due to some important meeting, she was staying as bodyguard.

Taking this as a chance I tried to pry answers from Kavya today.  When I went out of my room I saw Kavya talking on the phone sitting on the dining chair. I understood the other person who was on the line was Sager. Seeing me Kavya disconnected the call and asked: "  Do you need anything?" I just shrugged no and straightly asked the question which was nagging me for prolonged days.

" Kavya, what happened on that day? Hope you knew about what I am asking for?" She was taken aback by my sudden interrogation and agitated to answer my question. " Please only help me this time. I will not bother you hereafter. " She contemplated for a few seconds and when she tried to open her mouth she stopped midway and her vision led behind me. Feeling the presence of someone I turned around to collide with a hard chest. Hissing a little I went back and saw it was non-other than Karthik.

He was standing there stuffing his both hands inside of his trouser pocket with a stoic face.  Still, he was in his suit, maybe just now arrived from a meeting. Nowadays his domineering aura scaring the shit out of me but he seemed hot too..." What are you doing here? I told to take a rest and not to roam around here. I just left for one day but you started your stubborn acts again." He scolded me like I was a child cutting off my naughty thoughts. Holding my hand he took me to my room and I too followed him without saying anything.  Shit, I thought he would come around the evening. But he was early today.

To ease the tension I asked " How was your meeting? Did everything go well? You came early than you informed? Did your boss scold you for anything?" But he did not utter anything and his silence was scaring me.

Locking the door, he made me sit on my bed and he stood bending up to my level, keeping his both hands beside me on the bed. His face leant to right in front of my face and his sharp gazes scanned my mind.

" Are you worried about my meeting or worried that I came earlier as I informed you in the morning?" Had he fixed any trackers in my brain because he was reading my mind like an open book? I gulped down my saliva without answering him.

"  Now don't keep looking at me like that. Take rest for some time while I was freshening up" Giving a kiss on my forehead he retreated to go back but I hold his hand before he could go further. Turning his head he gave me a questioning look. I could not hold back more, So I asked him, " Karthik, it's enough now. I am going crazy without knowing what happened to me and day by day I am losing my sanity. Do not keep me in darkness, Karthik. Please I can't anymore..." I looked at his eyes straightly and I wanted to convert the desperation through my eyes.

" Kayal, first listen to me...."

" First you listen to me Karthik" I shouted in frustration,cutting him off. For a few seconds he looked shocked but immediately changed his emotion into neutral. " What do you want to know ?" This time he sounded so rougher and emotions went hard.

My idiot heart again started to crawl into the corner looking at his horror face. " K...Karthik I..."

" Why?  What happened? You were demanding the answer a few seconds ago? Now where did your all braveness go?" He asked taking slow steps towards me and when I backed up,stumbling I fell in bed.

" You want answers right? Then hear me out. When I came to your room through the windows, You were lying in this same bed unconsciously and that fucking scoundrel was hovering over you and was going to touch you. All I felt was killing that bastard and beating him to the pulp. But thank God I reached here on time before anything could happen to you. Finally we handed over him to the police and that only happened on that day.

Now are you happy? Hereafter don't take this topic and bother me. " Saying that he stormed out of the room . I did not know,what to feel. On one side I was terrified thinking what could have happened if Karthik did not arrive on time. Also, other side felt a little relieved that nothing happened like what did I think.  I just sat there for some time to relax and clear my scribbled mind.

Karthik's POV...

I stormed out of her room and entering my room straightly went to washroom and stood under the running shower. At least no one can see my vulnerable tears which were running down from my eyes and dissolving with water drops.
