Vansh

I gulped hard and choked on my saliva. Some genius, long ago said that, never and not even in your wildest dreams, mess with a woman. She will have your head within a second.

The truth is she will have your life. And this wise words were for a normal woman. The woman in front of me was mighty in an eccentric way and could break bones by a gentle shove.

I, precisely, had no intentions to anger let alone upset her, while I did both. What will be my fate after this?

"I, I, g-get it t-that-t you a-re angr-y-" Explicit content, Vansh. Talking will get you nowhere. I was shut off by her hand. She was trembling with anger. Anyone could tell. The truth was told, people should not mess with a person who is above them.

She is above me in strength and she is scary as well. Slowly backing away from her. I moved my hands on front to stop her from doing anything. As a sign to ask for a chance to explain.

"Sorry, this was just the first thing that came in my mind. As shitty as it is, I, we had no choice. No alternative feelings. He is a cop, he definitely sensed my presence, like maybe my cologne. I am truly sorry," I said in a breath and took a break, I sighed and continued, "this is not going to happen again, lets pretend until all of this is over, ok?" I asked.

"Even if you make a point, the main thing to work in a group or duo is trust. And back there," she pointed with her finger, like the pointing out of the situation. "I just saw how much trust you have in me and how much trust I put into you, which by the way, you broke." I did not want to break her trust. Her eyes held the emotions of being betrayed.

Her eyebrows scrunched together and her eyes showing regret and perfidy. I definitely, did not mean that. I wanted to explain that I am sorry, I meant anything but that, she stopped, turned around and coldly said, "For eating, Maggie is in the cupboard, have it and you know where you are sleeping and I do not think there is something else" she spoke those lines and it was icy cold.

Turning around, "Have a good night's rest." she said and left. Wait, what did she say, I had to eat, again?

M-maggie? was it?

What is that? I took my cell phone out and researched about it.

Apparently, it is something, the whole country loves, it is easy to make like any other instant noodles which by the way, is unhealthy, as it contains sodium and too much sodium is bad for the body and also other preservatives.

I scoffed, I can go a night without eating rather than eating something unhealthy. I should go sleep.

My room was in the farthest most corner, the reason still unknown. But the room was rather warm and homy. Not like mine in the VR Mansion.

This had a different warmth to it. However, after taking a shower and changing into some casuals that, Angre packed, I could not sleep. I tossed and turned, I could not sleep just yet.

The clock ticked by and now it was two past midnight. I stood up from my sleeping position. I, as much as I do not want to say this, am hungry.

I was thinking maybe I should just eat something. And my stomach growled. Ok, I guess a little bit of unhealthy won't hurt. I went down the way I came up and reached the kitchen. The cupboard has it.

I took the sunflower yellow coloured packet, it was how it was supposed to be. I took a pan poured water as directed in the video. 250 ml of water and salt to taste. Ok, I did that. I broke the cake into pieces and threw it in the boiling water. Do not wait for two minutes, huh? The pack says, Wait for two minutes but the- I am listening to the recipe.

After almost five minutes I was done and poured the contents of the pan in the bowl and decorated it perfectly with regards to the instructions.

I took the cutlery, I was hungry and satisfied with the results of the instant noodles. I ate till my hearts content and I was almost licking the bowl when a certain someone cleared their throat.

I looked around and spotted her. "I knew, you would not have it and hence you were hungry and finally decided to have it, did you not?" she pointed fingers at me.

I huffed and nodded. She had a look of disapproval on her face, well, as if this Maggie is healthy. She sighed and went back to her room not before gulping down water from the bottle inside the fridge.

I washed my bowl, cutlery and the pan I made it on. And after drinking down gallons of water, I strode towards the place, I will temporarily be sleeping at.

I would probably have dark circles around my under eye and maybe a bit pale skin. That does not matters as of now. I slumped down on the bed and pulled the duvet over. However, I felt heat on my back.

That is strange. The bed faces 90° North and the window is in the same direction. The window was maple coloured and was covered properly. Is someone out there?

'Be careful! You do not want to get in trouble!' my conscience warned me.

'Yeah, like I really want to.' I replied in my head to myself.

I think I should go and take a look. I pulled the duvet and jumped down the bed. This is risky but I need to make sure, if there is someone. If there, it should be the one threatening to kill me.

At the least, I can catch a glance of the person who is doing so. I silently creeped up to the window, intending to pull the curtains. At this rate my heart is palpitating.

What if the person tries to kill me because I tried to outsmart the person?

What if, it is just my paranoia?

What if I am just paranoid?

What if it kills me and turns and eye towards my family?

No, I cannot let that happen. I need to fight, not for myself, but my family. After all, if the person has successfully found my location, it may try to harm Riddhima as well.

I cannot let that happen either. I need to do this. I had almost picked the curtain when someone grabbed me and pulled me back.

That's it, I am dead, someone broke in and is now trying to kill me. Wait, I can scream! However, before I do so, all hopes went to vain.

"Make a sound and you invite your death, Sir." Sir? she called me sir and she is a fem-Oh! It is Her! I sighed in relief. I turned to her and saw the seriousness and responsibility in her eyes. "Don't make a move, I am shifting you to my room that has no such type of spying issues, I am going to sleep here and do not ask any questions. This is for your safety!" she made a decision.

I nodded and took my leave. This was going to be a long night.
