Never Leaving U ( Completed )

Chapter 10

Recap: Priyanka take the wounded child for firs aid.

****************

Priyanka entered the office room, carrying a small child in her arms. Vikram stood nearby, speaking with the assistant. The caretaker was nowhere to be seen.

"Hello, brother," Priyanka called out to the assistant. "This kid is hurt. Can you please aid his wound?"

The assistant's eyes widened in concern. "Oh my god! Let me take care of him."

He immediately took the child for first aid, leaving Priyanka standing alone. Vikram turned to her but remained silent. She offered him a polite greeting, and he responded with a nod.

"Hi," she said. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to spend time with the kids," Vikram replied. "What about you?"

"I come here every year on this day."

"Oh, that's good to know," he said, checking his watch. "Time for me to leave. Bye."

Meanwhile, Sahana was playing with the children when a strange feeling swept over her. It was the same emotion she had felt that morning, just before she met Vikram. The sensation was overwhelming, yet she couldn't find the words to describe it.

Priyanka returned to her. "Priya," Sahana murmured, "I feel the same as I did this morning. I don't know why, but my emotions are overwhelming me. I feel like Vikram is very close to me."

Priyanka blinked, momentarily stunned, before letting out a nervous laugh. "Come on, Sana. Stop kidding. Why would he be here?"

Sahana hesitated. "You're right, but... I don't know. Something is happening to me. Ignore me. I'm not even sure of it myself."

Vikram's POV:

I reached the orphanage and spoke to the caretaker, asking if I could meet the children. She told me that a girl comes here every year on this day and spends time with them. I didn't want to disturb her, so I remained in the office room while the caretaker left to take a call.

That's when I saw her. The same girl I had met at the temple. She said she came here every year. I was amazed people like her still existed in this world?

I left shortly after. But just before reaching the gate, an odd feeling crept up my spine, as if someone close to me was right behind me. I couldn't understand what was happening since morning, so I simply walked away.

Vikram POV Ends:

That evening, Sahana and the others left the orphanage and returned home. She was unusually happy, her thoughts lost in the events of the day.

Rakshat noticed. "What happened, Sana? You seem lost in thoughts about Vikram."

"What are you even saying? Nothing like that is happening."

Rakshat smirked. "But I see somebody is blushing."

Sahana gasped. "God, I'm getting back to my room."

Once inside, she sat on her bed, staring at Vikram's photo on her phone.

"What should I do?" she whispered. "I never thought I'd see you so close. Your perfectly trimmed beard, your masculine cologne... God, why do you torment me like this? When will I see you again?"

At the same time Priyanka sat in her room, lost in thought.

"I've never seen a man like him... but what am I doing?" she muttered. Guilt gnawed at her. She had hidden Vikram's visit from Sana. "But she's the daughter of a billionaire. She can marry anyone easily. I... I need Vikram. Only then can I live a life like hers."
