KARAN POV
My first reaction was not sadness. Fear. Anger. At first I felt absolutely nothing. May be the view before me hadn't clicked yet or may my heart had stopped altogether. But I was too stunned and shocked to notice. It took me awhile to process what I am seeing. She couldn't be here it was a hallucination. It was a terrible dream. I blinked and turned around. Closed my eyes shut and reopened but she was still there.

She stood there with her bottom lip between her teeth. Her right hand holding her left hand nervously with worried eyes she scanned the room. She was afraid. I remember feeling the same way the first time I arrived here. Finally her eyes met mine. They were wide and anxious as if to be pleading 'Help me' and then I felt it. The realization hit me right in the heart. My throat went dry and my lungs struggled to breath. My stomach flipped and room started to spin. She shouldn't be here as a patient.

Teju wasn't crazy yet she was here. I don't know why? When? And How? I don't know what to do about it but I know that I was scared for her. I don't give a fuck that she wouldn't be able to get me out of here. What scared me the most was the fact that whatever horrors were hidden at the corner of this building, Teju would experience them too. She is so much vulnerable than me. So much fragile and naive. There is no way she would last in this place. They have no right to throw her in here. This isn't fair to her. This was all my fault. She did it for me and got stuck here. She sat on the chair looking vulnerable and worried. Now I don't care about guards or D'Souza I have to be with her. Let them whip me again. I don't give a fuck. I quickly ran to her sitting on the chair next to her.

"Laddo what the fuck happened to you?" I asked before she could even look up."Why are you in here in this uniform?" I stressed.

"Sunny" she almost whispered "you can't be seen talking to me. I don't want you to get hurt again. Mrs. D'Souza will-"

"I don't care. Just tell me what happened?" I was fuming in anger.

She looked around nervously like she was afraid or something. Her expressions were blank.

"Laddoo Look at me" I said softly and reached for her hand underneath the table. Once my skin touched hers, she finally look at me. "It will be ok. I promise. Just tell me what happened?" Despite my anger and fear I tried to stay calm for her. I knew freaking out would just add more stress to her.

"Sister Geeta just saw the bruises on my wrist and asked about them. It was only us in the room. So I told her what Kunaal did few days back and I guess Mrs. D'Souza overheard. She barged in the room and asked me if we can talk in private so we went out into the Hall. I told her what happened with Kunaal and said I was going to go to the police" She said shakily.

"Shit. Teju" I sighed.

"I know, I know it was stupid but I thought she would be little threatened or at least considered what I was saying. I didn't know that she would throw me into mental hospital because of it" She said with teary eyes.

I shook my head with disapproval agreeing with Tejasswi. Mrs. D'Souza went so far this time. "Shit. What are we going to do now?" I asked mostly to myself.

"I don't know" Teju said softly. "I am so sorry Sunny. I am such an idiot. I was supposed to get you out of here and now look where I am. There is no way I can help you anymore and that's unfair to you because you deserve so much better place" she was blabbering, her voice cracked and tears began to form in her eyes.

I interrupted her "It's okay. It is not your fault. You didn't know she would do this" She nodded but when she blinked a tear fell on to her cheek. She always cries about everything but this time I wanted to cry too.

"Come here baby" I said removing my hand from her and wrapping my arms around her. She turned and leaned into me. Her face nuzzled into my chest while her hands wrapped around me. I took a look around to see if guards weren't paying attention and if they were they didn't seem to care. Because by now everyone knew what is going on between me and Tejasswi.

"Sunny"

"Yeah?"

"Sunny I am scared"

That was everything I felt but doesn't want to admit. "Don't be. I promise that we will find a way out but until then I will protect you with my life Laddo"

Tejasswi POV
It's been one week since Mrs. D'Souza threw me in this fucked up place. I don't know how we are going to escape this place. Security was tight and we were surrounded by guards every time. My last hope was Adaa and Sister Geeta but they might be too afraid of what D'Souza will do if she finds they are helping me. But in every dark situation there is a light and that light was Sunny. He was not alone now. He has me and I have him. Even in this situation we were happy and I know eventually we will escape. Today I am going to meet Adaa for my therapy session our first interaction after this incidence. Once my guard took me to Adaa. I opened the door and entered in.

"Teja" Adaa said before I could even sit "What the fuck had happened to you" she was standing while I took a seat before her desk. I sighed before once again telling my story.

"Holy shit" She looked terrified once I finished my story.

"She is crazy Teja. She has crossed the line this time" She said giving me serious expressions.

"I know. I mean who knows better than me" I said with little smile.

"Is there any way we can prove that I don't belong here? Like go to court or something?" I asked hoping Adaa will find a way.

Adaa signed shaking her head. For a while she didn't speak thinking something seriously. "I have no idea. I mean her side of the story is pretty convincing"

"What's her side?" I asked.
