Author's POV
"A__Adhiraj! A__Adhiraj!". Mehek shouted at the top of her voice for help when suddenly she heard the crackling sound of the door. She immediately turned and came to see the man of her life as a teary smile appeared on her face.
Giving efforts with her palms she got up from the floor and rushed towards him. Then jumping on him she tightly wrapped her arms around his waist. Her heart was beating faster as the strings of fears shot her heart badly.
"What happened, my love? Why are you crying?". Seeing her weeping badly Adhiraj questioned caressing her back with his rough palms.
"A__Adh__hi__raj__! H__H__He__!". Her voice got stucked on her throat with fear.
"I can't understand anything! Tell me clearly!". He again asked but she silently wept.
The horrible scene and the man was badly affecting her mind as she clutched her husband's figure more and more tightly not wanting to go away from his warm embrace.
"Look into my eyes first!". He ordered but she wasn't in a state to listen or speak anything.
"Mehek, look at me!". He cupped her cheeks and made her look into his eyes.
"Now, tell me what's the matter?"
She didn't speak anything and just lifting her index finger pointed at the back. Adhiraj looked at the direction and tried to find the mess but there's nothing which confused him more.
"Nothing is there, Mehek!". He uttered looking at her as she immediately turned back to see that man but for her surprise there was none.
Removing herself from his embrace she ran towards the balcony and window area but couldn't find anyone.
"A__Adhiraj, h__he was here!"
"Who?"
"I__I don't know! B__But h__he was so scary!". She hiccuped while telling.
"Come with me!". He held her wrist and made her sit on his lap.
"Nothing was there, okay!"
"No, you're not understanding! He was here a__and h__he told me that h__he!". She couldn't complete the sentence as fear again hit her heart.
"Take it!". Adhiraj handed her a glass of water and made her sip.
"You're doing over work that's why you're overthinking. You need rest. Now come and sleep!"
"Please, believe me Adhiraj!"
"I believe you, now come!". He pecked on her lips and made her lay on the bed. Then covering her body with the quilt he was going to leave but she held his wrist tightly.
"Please, don't go!". She uttered with fear as still she wasn't convinced that the man had gone.
