Chapter-3
⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
The car door clicked open.
He stood there like a storm in human form.
And I was the leaf about to be blown away.
He grabbed her wrist tightly and began walking into the hotel.
Avani Agarwal (fl)
W-wait... I can’t walk this fast…
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(His steps were long, powerful. Mine were short, shaky. My feet struggled to keep up.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(My slippers almost slipped off. My knees wobbled.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(whispering) Ahh—!
She tripped on the edge of the carpet. Before she could hit the floor—
Unknown
(She was light. Too light. Like someone who had never been held with care.)
Unknown
(Without thinking, I caught her in my arms. Bridal style.)
Unknown
(Under his breath) Tch.
Unknown
(Louder) Try to walk properly next time.
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(He carried me like I was nothing. My face turned red again. But not from crying—this time it was fear.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(We entered the lift.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(Only us.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(No one else.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(My heart raced.)
The lift door opened to the top floor. A massive luxury suite lay ahead, silent and intimidating.
He placed her gently—but firmly—on the soft white sofa.
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(Up until now, there were people around. Bodyguards. Staff. Strangers.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(Now… it was just him and me.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(And the silence.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(I could hear my own breathing.)
Unknown
(finally breaking the silence) What do you do?
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(softly, barely audible) I… I’m a college student.
Unknown
(He frowned. His jaw clenched.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(hesitating) Eighteen.
His eyes narrowed. A whisper slipped out before he could stop it.
Unknown
(muttering) That bastard…
Then he looked at her again, straight into her teary eyes.
Unknown
(louder) Good. You’re 18. That means you’re legal. We’re going to Sub-Registrar’s Office tomorrow and getting married.
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(My chest hurt. My breath caught.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(Married? Tomorrow?)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(No… this is a nightmare. This can’t be real.)
Avani Agarwal (fl)
(desperate) No! Please… I have dreams. I wanted to finish college… get a job... live a normal life...
Avani Agarwal (fl)
Please don’t do this to me… I won’t tell anyone. Just let me go. Please.
I was begging. Pleading. My voice cracked.
But he didn’t move. Didn’t speak.
He just kept looking at me.
Like I was something he couldn’t figure out.
Tears in her eyes. Voice like broken glass.
But I couldn’t look away.
Why do I feel like this girl doesn’t belong in this filthy world...?
He said nothing. The silence returned—louder than her cries.
