CHAPTER19 [ESCAPE ]
A strong hand grabs her.
---
She gasps.
---
Vihaan.
---
His grip tight.
Unforgiving.
---
“Main mar jaungi lekin tumse shaadi kabhi nahi karungi! (I would rather die than marry you!)”
---
Her voice breaks—
But her eyes don’t.
---
Vihaan’s expression hardens.
---
He pulls her closer—
Suddenly.
---
His hand wraps tightly around her waist.
Possessive.
Firm.
---
“Marna nahi hai, sweetheart… (You’re not going to die, sweetheart…)”
“Bas shaadi karni hai. (You just have to get married.)”
---
Aarohi struggles harder.
Trying to break free.
---
“Chhodo mujhe! (Leave me!)”
“Jaane do mujhe! (Let me go!)”
---
But Vihaan doesn’t loosen his grip.
Not even a little.
---
His patience snaps.
---
“Chalo andar. (Come inside.)”
---
His voice—
Cold.
Commanding.
---
He starts dragging her back.
---
Aarohi fights.
Pushes.
Resists with everything she has—
---
But he’s too strong.
---
Just as Vihaan is about to say something—
---
THUD!
---
A sudden hit lands on his head.
---
Everything stops.
---
His grip loosens.
---
Aarohi freezes.
---
Before she can react—
Someone grabs her hand.
---
“Chalo! (Come!)”
---
She doesn’t even get time to see clearly—
---
She’s pulled—
Rushed—
Straight into a car.
---
The door slams shut.
---
And within seconds—
The car speeds away.
---
Leaving everything behind.
---
Meanwhile—
---
Vihaan stumbles back.
Vision blurry.
Head spinning.
---
His bodyguards rush to him.
Hold him steady.
---
“Sir—!”
---
They make him sit.
Give him water.
---
After a few moments—
His vision clears.
---
And then—
---
Anger.
Pure rage.
---
“Tum log yahan kya kar rahe the?! (What were you doing here?!)”
“Use pakda kyun nahi?! (Why didn’t you catch them?!)”
---
The bodyguards lower their heads.
---
“Sir… aapko chhod kar kaise jaate? (Sir… how could we leave you alone?)”
---
Wrong answer.
---
Very wrong.
---
Vihaan explodes.
---
“Mujhe chhod dete! (You should have left me!)”
“Use jaana nahi chahiye tha! (She shouldn’t have escaped!)”
---
Silence.
Fear.
---
Then—
He goes quiet.
---
Too quiet.
---
His jaw tightens.
Eyes darken.
---
“Kaun tha wo…? (Who was he…?)”
---
Not confusion.
---
A challenge.
---
Because whoever just took Aarohi—
---
Has no idea—
---
Let's see what the next part.
