Early morning on Saturday, I went towards the bridge above the Bagmati river which was big due to the flood. It was the rainy season and people were watching it from their houses. I guess they were enjoying it but I was not. The thought of jumping in it came on my mind. I was tired of living this life where life was fucking me every day and guess what I was still a virgin. The thing about life is that it fucks even the virgins without taking their virginity.

I came down and slowly taking a slow step I went towards the river thinking about life and why was I so frustrated. I always made the wrong decision. The people I knew were either getting a job or married or have become parents and I was still here not being able to make the right decisions, Just wondering where life would take me. I had to hear so many things at home about how I don't even have a job. My parents hated me. They treated me like some kind of cursed child. I was fed up. People were shouting at me not to go near the edge of the river. However, without thinking and looking anywhere, I jumped.

When my eyes opened, I was in bed. Sunlight was falling directly on my face. I looked around the room, it was beautiful. It was then I noticed that no one was around and that this wasn't my own room.

"Where the hell am I?" I asked myself.

Then the door clicked open and a beautiful girl stepped inside. She was so stunning like every girl wants to be. She had long wavy hair. She was tall and had this perfect body, which every girl dreams to have. I felt like a black, ugly thing in front of a beautiful shiny diamond. She was perfect.

"Am I in heaven?" I thought to myself, or maybe I think I am cause she looked like an angel. She placed the tray on the table.

"You are awake," she said with the slight happiness as if I was her someone.

I slowly got up.

"Where am... I?" I blurt out.

"You are in my house. That was so stupid of you..... I have brought some food, eat it." she said and left.

So I am in a stranger's house? I can't believe I even failed to die like I failed everything. After eating the food, I looked outside the window. There was a beautiful garden and a man was sitting on the bench, his back facing me. I wanted to see his face and like my wish was granted, he looked up but his look was cold and his eyes were black. I became afraid and hurriedly went towards the bed. Why were his eyes black? Is he some kind of devil? Holly Molly, I am not in heaven. I am in hell. I rushed towards the front of the mirror, afraid I had black eyes too but nope, I didn't.

The whole day, I was in that room feeling bored. I thought of going down to the garden and so I did. I went and sat on the bench, not on the same spot where he sat. I was quite afraid, what if I made a stupid decision coming down here. However, I was glad to discover that he was nowhere to be seen. The garden was so beautiful. I looked at every flower and sat there in peace. When it was about to turn dark, I returned to the house to find no one there. The house was beautiful too. I don't know why, but there were guards and some maids. They greeted me, every time they saw me.

I went straight to the room and someone was already here. He was the same guy I saw in the garden who had terrifying black eyes. I stood at the doorway for a while before I slowly went inside. He didn't even bother to say hello so I sat on the bed. My heart was beating fast. He was looking outside the window. I cleared my throat and I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid. He looked at me and then at juice he had kept on the table. He seemed to be related to the girl who had brought me some food earlier. Thankfully, his eyes weren't fully black. Not making any noise, I slowly got up and went towards the bathroom. When I was about to open the door, I heard him say,

"Don't you ever do this to me again." I stood stunned.

Did he say that to me? His voice was calm, authoritative yet soothing. I don't know why but I wanted to hear that voice again.

"His voice would make anyone wet," I thought. shit, shit, why did I say that?

I turned to find an empty room, he was already gone. What type of person is he? He didn't even ask me if I was good. Not that I care of but he could have said sorry for terrifying me. The whole time his words were ringing in my ears.

Don't you ever do that to me again. don't you ever do that to me again.

The same girl from the morning came to call me saying dinner was ready.

"Let's go," she said. I followed her looking around and admiring the house. It was really beautiful.

"By the way. My name is Rima," she said but I didn't reply.

Food was already on the table but no one was there. We sat and later the devil came. He sat in front of me. While he wasn't looking at me, I looked at him. Rima was focused on her food. He had medium curly hair and had this cute face. I guess only two of them lived here with some maids. Even though he scared me before and was rude. I wanted to thank both of them.

"Rima," I said.

She looked at me and I could feel his eyes on me.

"Do you need something?" she asked.

I shook my head.

"Ah-um, I wanted to thank you u-m b.both for everything and I think I should leave now. You k.nw......" I was not even finished and he abruptly got up and left. What the hell was his problem? I looked at the leaving figure and then at Rima. He didn't even look at me once.

"I think, it's time we talk," she said and I just stared at her beautiful eyes waiting for her to explain everything.

What is that she really wants to talk about? Oh, maybe money. Yeah, I am sure they want me to pay them for saving me which I didn't want in the first place but I don't have any.

After eating, I kept my plate aside waiting for her to say something but her phone rang and she excused herself. She came and told me that she has some work and will talk about it later.

"Talk about what?" I thought. yeah, probably she gonna say, "Look, girl, we saved your ass so give us money and leave right now."

I went to my room and laid on the bed waiting for sleep to come but it didn't. I stared at the ceiling. Many thoughts ran on my mind. What if I have been kidnapped or what if he is a monster? I saw his black eyes so maybe he is a devil and he wants my soul. No, no, no, I am so stupid. Why are these stupid thoughts crossing my mind? There are no such things as the devil. Yeah, they must want money for saving my ass. I rolled my eyes thinking about how money can make anyone do anything.

After rolling from one side to another for like 1000 times finally sleep came. Later at night, somewhere I heard the sound of the door opened and closed. Then I felt the one side of the bed heavy. Someone pulled me close. I wanted to protest but I couldn't.

The last thing I heard was,

"Please, don't leave me."

In the morning, those words were still replaying in my head. Was someone here at night or was it just a dream?

Later, Rima came with my breakfast.

"Good morning," she said, I smiled in response.

"Eat this first, then we will talk."

Finally.

I was curious to know. I nodded and ate. After finish eating, I was about to say that I don't have any money but will pay after I get home but she spoke before I could say anything.

"Before you say anything, you can't leave," she said

Oh, she knows that I don't have any money? Of course, she knows. What a fool I am.

I nodded in understanding.

"I will pay you. You know, after I get back home. Trust me I am not lying." I said.

At first, maybe she didn't understand what I was saying but when she did she burst out laughing. I looked at her confused, then I realized maybe I have been kidnapped and that's why they won't let me leave unless my parents pay them.

"Oh gosh, don't tell me that I have been kidnapped?"

She shook her head smiling.

"No," she said.

"Then, why can't I leave?"

"It's just you can't."

There must be some reason, why I can't leave. Even if she refused, I was sure I have been kidnapped.

For three days straight I asked her why can't I leave and what they want from me but she would always say,

"When the time comes you will know."

This made me frustrated and I tried running away but there were so many guards. The guy was nowhere to be seen and the girl wouldn't explain why I couldn't leave and wouldn't let me leave either. I went to the garden frustrated, angry. At least they could tell me why was I still here. If they wanted a favour for saving my life, even though I didn't ask them to, I would pay them once I was home.

I looked at the bench that guy was sitting on that day. I heard someone say hey. I turned to find him, so he talks? I gave him a cold look and left. I locked the door. Surprisingly, I didn't miss my family. They never understood me and I hated how they always treated me. They never understood me. However, they had the right to know I was alive.

The maid came to inform me that dinner was ready but I didn't give any response. Later, Rima came too but I ignored her. Suddenly, I heard banging at the door.

"Open the damn door."

It was him. I rolled my eyes not bothering to move.

"Open it or I will break it," he said.

"Like I care, do whatever you want with your property," I said to myself.

"Last time I am saying, Open the damn door," he said.

I opened it, feeling bored and without bothering to look at him, I was about to turn around but he had other intentions. He caught my hand and pinned me to the wall.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked. I refused to look at him as if he was not there. We were so close, it made me uncomfortable.

"Look at me," he whispered but I didn't. He brought his hand to my chin and forced me. Now I was looking directly in his eyes. He had these beautiful brown eyes which I found beautiful and he was quite handsome.....no,no,what am I saying.

"Speak," he said softly.

"I am not hungry," I said and suddenly my stomach made the sound.

My fucking embarrassing tummy.

"Shit," I muttered to myself and he smiled. He smiles too?

"Oh really?" He said. Smirk plastered on his face.

"Come down and have dinner," he said giving me space.

"No," I said and sat on the bed.

His hands were balled into fist. I know he was angry but I was angrier. He stood there for a while and when I didn't bother to move, he left.

I felt relief but after some time he came with food.

Stubborn asshole.

"Eat," he said placing the tray on the table but I didn't bother to move. He stood in front of me and stared at me.

"Why won't you eat?"

"Why do you care?"I asked and his jaw clenched.

I stood up and about to go towards the bathroom but he stopped me holding my wrist.

"I said...."

"If I eat will you let me leave?" I asked him, cutting him off.

He stared at me and I brought him into reality by snapping my finger.

"For fuck sake, answer the damn question. Why won't you let me go?"

He smiled at my curse word.

"No," he said.

"What no?"

"The answer is no for the question."

Why was he being so difficult with me? I snatched my hand in anger. I can't explain how angry I was.

"Leave," I almost shouted and went to the bathroom, locked the door, and sat on the floor. I knew he came and stood in front of the door and after some time he left.

That night, again I felt my bed heavy and heard in a low whisper.

"I am sorry,"

I was looking outside the window. The scene was beautiful. I could see the garden then river and forest above it. It felt good here even though I was quite frustrated not being answered but I didn't want to go back to my parent's house. They were so cruel to me. There I was always depressed. They always found a way to taunt me and from day to night I had to hear them say how pathetic I was but I didn't want to stay here too. They were strangers and I don't know their intention. Why do they even want me here? I mean what could a girl like me give them? They are already so rich themselves.

"Hey," I heard a voice which I recognize to be Rima's. I didn't bother to turn.

"O..key I will answer all the questions you have in your mind."

I then slowly looked at her not believing.

"Come here, sit," she said patting the bed.

"How long have I been here?" I started to ask questions.

"Almost two weeks."

"Who...aat?" I said in shock.

"You were in a coma for four days."

"Ohhh..."

"I guess you and your lover live here?" I asked and she laughed shaking her head. Did I say some kind of a joke?

"He is my brother," she said smiling.

I knew they were related but brother? I mean couples seem alike too after they have been together for years.

"So you guys kidnapped me?"

"No,"

"Then why can't I leave?" I finally asked the same question I had been asking.

"Because my brother doesn't want you to." This got me angry and confused.

"And who is your brother? Some kind of mafia or king?" I snapped.

She just smiled.

"Why am I here for?" I stood.

"You have to ask him."

"Now, that's enough. You are not answering properly and not telling me the truth." I said blood boiling in my veins and was about to leave when she stopped me.

"Calm down, I will tell you the truth."

Truth? Oh yeah, I knew it. They have kidnapped me.

"He doesn't want you to leave cause he wants you here."

"And why does he wants me here?" Something came on my mind. She was about to reply when I cut her off showing my hand.

"Oh....wait. He wants me to pay him back, isn't it? He saved my life so I have to pay him for that." I said and she looked at me with wide eyes.

"It's not what you think."

I went towards the window.

"Go and tell your brother he can't keep me long and when I get back I will pay him."

I don't know how am I gonna pay him. I don't have a job and my parents, ugh. It sucks to even think about them.

I heard her footsteps leave but before she left, I asked her that very question. "Why were his eyes dark the other day when I first saw him in the garden?"

She turned and was silent for some time.

"I don't think you are ready for the answer," she said and left.

What the hell is wrong with these two? They live in this big mansion with some guards and maids. They say I am not kidnapped but won't let me leave. I know they want money but why would they want money from me? I mean they are so rich. I wanted to leave and there was only one person that could answer my questions and let me go.

I went straight to his door and knocked but no answer came from inside. I waited a while outside and went inside but no one was there. The room was very big. I searched for him everywhere.

"It's bad to stalk other's bedroom." I heard him say.

He was looking at me folding his arms. I went to him and studied his face. He raised a brow.

"What?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes "Why were your eyes dark the other day?"

He didn't say anything. I looked at him waiting for the answer.

"Oh my God," he looked at me confused "I was right you are the devil and I am in hell."

I heard him chuckle.

I narrowed my eyes "You find it funny that now I am a devil?" I asked.

"Nothing just...."

"No way," I cut him off "I am dead that's why you won't let me go." I almost screamed.

"I am living with a devil," I said more to myself.

"I am not a devil," He said.

"Then why were your eyes dark the other day?" I demanded, putting my hands on my hips. He didn't say anything, just stared at me. Maybe he found it amusing but not me.

"Bloody devil,"

Smile escaped from his mouth. I rolled my eyes and was about to leave when I realized I was not done yet so I came back.

"Why do you want me here? what is it that you want from me?" I almost screamed in frustration.

"Or, oh gosh. Don't tell me you are that type of guy who would let me go if I...." I couldn't say it. "sle...." I was about to say it. He looked at me in realization and covered my mouth and pushed me to the wall.

"Don't you dare say it. You think that's my intention?" he shook his head then looked at me. My heart was beating faster. His eyes were so beautiful that I couldn't stop myself from staring. He let go of me and turned around.

"I thought you hated that life."

I did.

"I didn't know you wanted to die."

"Wait, how did you know I hated my life?" I asked.

"I assumed.....a-h- by looking at your unconscious body. Anyone would have assumed that" he said shrugging.

"I know you want something from me, tell me what is it?" I demanded.

I didn't have anything to give him except my body and no way I would agree to that.

"You," I barely heard him.

Did he just say that?

"In your dreams," I said to myself, I am sure he wants my body, Boka.

( Boka= playboy or a guy who wants girl only for sex.)

"Hey, you. What do you want?" I asked My patience getting thinner.

"I want to make a deal."

Do I look like some kind of businesswoman?" I spat.

"You have to marry me."

I stood still, not believing what he said.

"What did you say?" I almost yelled and went near him but he didn't bother to look at me.

"If you want to get free from here you have to marry me."

"Are you fucking kidding me? How come I will be free if I marry you?" I glared at him. I wanted to fucking kill him.

He stood silent, still his back facing me.

"Just dream about it, you devil. Not gonna happen. I never asked you to save me at first." I said and left.
