Tripthi's PoV :

"You have no right to force me," I hissed.

"Don't waste more time"

"I hate you," I screamed a little loud.

"That changes nothing, you can't escape and you should not, come out" he banged on the door.

"Don't I have any other option?" I cried.

"Not even by a whisker except if some of your stupid Vampire barges out of the earth and takes you away on his flying horse or your Serum Dude does something" he mocked everything I love.

"Talking to you is my bad; it's stupid of me to trust in you. I wish I had shut my mouth, why do I have to tell you everything?" I felt shitty of me for letting out my distress to him.

"What happened on our first night Jaan?" he quizzed.

"Your marriage happened and hail Christian Grey" my heart danced.

Ooh shut up you idiot heart.

"Stop using that term, it's giving me dirty vibes" I spoke leaning on the thin door separating us.

"And why do you feel dirty?" he quizzed.

"See both of us know how the phrase of the first night is generally used, so stop saying it if you don't want to make me uncomfortable," I said.

"Generally used, generally said.. all you take into the head is generalizing Jaan, and doing those things you shouldn't be doing. I know it's not easy, I know you are not happy yet you have to do this. You don't have any other option and we both know that. It's all about the way we perceive. Just take a deep breath and come out" he tapped on the door separating us.

I am scared to look at my own reflection in the mirror; my whole body felt like it's on fire, my stomach started churning out.

"The universal power walks hand in hand with you brave girl, come out. You are not meant for hiding, you are here to breathe in bravery and prove your own fears how it's not even possible to win over your determination, come out" though he said it as a request, I can only hear depths of his confidence in me.

Krishna, I entrust my life in you. Slowly opening the doorknob, I walked out and stood just two feet away from him, looking down at my feet unable to look into his eyes.

"Jaan, you are not committing any crime, look straight, and keep your head high"

"I am scared Mr.Kohli, I feel disgusting of myself, I know I shouldn't but I just can't help. I feel so shitty wearing shorts" I couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey Babygirl, please sit" he draw a chair to me and I sat holding my bare thighs as closely as possible caging them between my hands as tightly as possible. He sat on his knees looking up at me.

"I know it's damn hard, the way you grew up, the people you have been surrounded by plays a lot of influence on your life. Though you keep fighting back, somehow you are subtly being controlled by their social construct. I know you Jaan, I saw you getting scared to walk out on the road without Dupatta, I saw how you try covering yourself from head to toe even in the house and you walking out wearing shorts is such a bravest thing. Trust me, if I would have been in your shoes I would have never pulled off something like this, come let's face the world" he forwarded his hand sitting on his knees.
