Upon hearing the bell ring, you hurry to your apartment door and peep through the peephole. You feel relieved as you see Krsna at the door. You let out a sigh, feeling comforted by the familiarity of the person on the other side.
You open the door and wrap your arms tightly around him.
"Woah, hey, it's okay, I got you," he says reassuringly, lightly patting your back. You realize that you are holding on too tightly and let go, feeling your cheeks burn with embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry, I was just-"
"It's okay. Um, can I come in?" he asks.
"Ye-yeah, sure. Please," you say, gesturing for him to enter and close the door behind you.
Both of you sit down on the hallway couch, and you feel a usual sense of safety in his presence.
"You want some water?" you ask.
"No thanks...Are you okay? Do you want me to take a look around?" he asks, possibly concerned.
"Nah, don't worry. I've already checked around twice before you arrived. Thanks for coming by the way, on such short notice. I didn't know who else to call and I was-"
"You don't have to explain anything you know." after a slight pause he continues "If you don't mind can I ask you something?"
You nod.
"How long have you been feeling watched and is there anyone you doubt?"
"I think it started right after the night we met. At first, I thought that maybe I was just being paranoid, but then it got weird and today this.....I don't really know who it could be though." you shrug.
"Krsna I'm-I'm scared I don't know what to do anymore. I thought that maybe I'll be safe here, but I don't feel safe in my own home.." your eyes begin to fill with tears.
"Y/N" he says and pulls you into a comforting hug.
You stay in his embrace for a few minutes until you calm down. You must have dozed off sometime in between. You wake up in your room and kinda panic when you don't spot him around. You rush towards the hall and let out a sigh of relief as you find him near the kitchen. Looks like he's making something.
"Hey, morning. You fell asleep so I carried you to your room. I hope that's okay." "Yeah, it's fine." you offer him a smile.
Very fine."You wanna drink some tea?" he asks gesturing towards the teapot.
"Yeah I'll freshen up and be there in no time." he nods in return.
Once you have freshened up, you both settle down with a cup of tea, and with every sip you feel refreshed. You can already feel your nerves starting to relax, and a sense of tranquility washes over you.
"Here, keep this" you turn towards Krsna and see that he's holding out an immaculate pendant, it's engraved with some runes that you've seen before, but don't know what they represent.
"A pendant?" you frown.
"It's a gift from my..." he pauses, staring at it for a bit, and then continues "...a loved one. You know it's always been a lucky charm for me. You should have it. Maybe it'll make you feel safe."
You hesitate for a moment, but then he urges you to take it.
"Just trust me," he says as he places the pendant in your hand and closes your fingers over it.
"Krsna, thanks," you say with a smile while looking into his eyes.
You feel drawn to his gaze and can't help but admire the safety and comfort you've found in his company over the past few days. That's probably why you called him.
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupts your thoughts.
"I've to take this. Excuse me!" he says apologetically and walks away towards the balcony. A minute or two passes before he gets back inside.
"I'll have to head out for a while, but don't worry I'll be back," he assures you.You feel a wave of panic and insecurity wash over you, not wanting him to leave.
"Hey, don't worry. If you feel scared or need anything, just give me a call, okay? I'll be here, I promise," he says, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder.
You nod, feeling a bit relieved, but still anxious. After Krsna leaves, you feel the weight of loneliness settles in. You decide to do another round of checking the house to make sure everything is secure.
After a while, you decide to head out to get some cameras for the house as a security measure. You should buy the necessary equipment and install it when Krsna returns. Besides there are some other things that you need to get too and you can't just keep yourself locked up in your home like this.
Before leaving you try calling him a few times, but he doesn't answer.
Might be busy!
You decide to send him a text message. Perhaps it might be a good idea to take Lina with you. You dial her number, and after a few rings, she answers the phone.
"Lina, hey! What's up?" you say, trying to sound casual.
"Oh hey sweets, how are you doing?" she replies.
"Nothing special. I was actually wondering if you'd like to go shopping with me for a bit. I need to grab some stuff."
"Right now ?"
"Ah-huh!"
"Oh YN, I'm so sorry babes I have this ad shoot that I'm working on with Tony, so I can't go with you right now, but hey, how about we grab a cup of coffee tomorrow and catch up?"
"Oh it's fine I guess I'll get it on my own, but yeah let's grab some coffee tomorrow. It's been a long time." with that you disconnect the call.
Despite being a successful model, Lina always finds a way to hang out with you. She's kind-hearted, but you feel that you shouldn't trouble her with your problems like this.
Okay, I can do this. I mean it's just a few minutes away so it'll be fine. Come on YN don't be such a scaredy cat, be brave. You've got this pendant with you. You'll be fine just like Krish said!
You reassure yourself which works-kinda. You leave your home, cautiously scanning your surroundings to make sure that you're not being followed.
You're on your way to the Electronics store when you catch a glimpse of a black sedan in your rearview mirror. Your paranoia takes over and you decide to slow your speed, but the sedan maintains a consistent distance from you.
You fucking asshole. Arrgghhh!!! Why can't you just leave me alone!
Feeling increasingly uneasy, you decide to make a series of sharp turns and lane changes in an attempt to shake off your pursuer. Finally, you believe that you've managed to lose whoever it was, but you realize that you've unintentionally led yourself into a dense forest.
Great just great!
As you continue driving through the forest, you suddenly feel a jolt and your car begins to slow down.
"No no no no no! You've got to be kidding me!" you groan as you look at the dashboard. The fuel gauge is still half full, and all the other gauges look normal.
You try to accelerate, but the car won't budge. You pull over to the side of the road and turn off the engine. After taking a deep breath, you try to start the car again, but nothing happens. You check your phone and it's got no signal.
Meri kismat hi kharab hai! Fuck!
You decide to get out of your car, but not before grabbing the pepper spray as a precaution. You look under the hood, but you're clueless as to what you're supposed to be looking at right now. You hold your head in your hands. Frustration is getting the best out of you.
Suddenly you freeze as you hear a rustling sound nearby. Your heart races as you try to focus on the source of the noise.
Is it an animal? A person?
The fear grips you as you realize that you're surrounded by dense forest and there's no one around to help you.
