Our Forbidden Love

Chapter 14

Manisha, her hair tousled, stood outside her front door, basking in the warm sunlight, gently drying her hair with a soft towel. The tranquil moment was shattered, however, when she caught sight of a mysterious black helicopter hovering above her in the sky.

A sudden surge of anxiety coursed through her veins, causing her hands to grow clammy. Her heart pounded in her chest as she realized the gravity of the situation unfolding before her eyes.

With a swift motion, she closed the door, seeking refuge from whatever unknown danger lurked beyond.

In that moment of sheer panic, Abhishek, her beloved, appeared by her side, his face filled with concern. Manisha's fear dissolved as she found solace enveloped within his comforting arms.

Abhishek gently caressed her back, offering reassurance and stability amidst the chaos that threatened to consume them.

"Manisha ji, kya ho gaya hai aapko?" Abhishek uttered, his voice laced with worry.

Manisha, her voice quivering, mumbled, "Abhishek ji, please m-mere saath rehna humesha. M-main aapke b-bina nahi reh sakti. I-I love you Abhishek ji"

The weight of her confession hung heavily in the air, causing Abhishek's world to tremble. He hadn't anticipated that Manisha would reciprocate his love.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he whispered, "M-main bhi love you, Manisha ji."

No words were needed at that moment. Any doubts, any uncertainties—they vanished in an instant. Manisha closed the gap between them, her heart pounding in sync with Abhishek's.

Their lips met in a soft and tender kiss, sealing their love and commitment to one another.
Lost in the depths of their affection, the world around them ceased to exist. Time stood still as Abhishek, his hands rough yet gentle, cradled Manisha's face, deepening the kiss.

Their hearts beat in perfect harmony, as if dancing to a melody only they could hear.
Manisha, with her eyes closed, savored the warmth and softness of Abhishek's lips against hers. It was a gentle dance, a delicate intertwining of souls that whispered promises of love and devotion.

The sun's rays bathed them in a golden glow, casting a halo around their entwined figures, as if nature itself was celebrating the sacredness of their love.

It was a kiss filled with passion, love, and a sense of fleetingness. They could never be sure if their embrace would be the first and last of its kind.
However, their intense moment was interrupted by a thunderous knocking on the door.

The abrupt sound shattered the ethereal atmosphere, bringing them crashing back to reality. With a mix of apprehension and determination, they reluctantly broke apart, their eyes locked in silent understanding.

The chaos outside demanded their attention, and together, they braced themselves for whatever trials lay ahead.

As they approached the door, hand in hand, their love became an anchor, providing strength and fortitude to face whatever awaited them on the other side.

Abhishek opened the door, expecting a warm greeting or perhaps a friendly face. However, he was taken aback when a fist collided with his jaw, causing him to stumble backward. The sudden blow left him disoriented and in pain.

Shaking off the shock, Abhishek glanced around to assess the situation. He quickly realized that he had walked into a dangerous confrontation.

Manisha, the love of his life, stood a few feet away, desperately pleading with the assailants to stop the brutal assault.

Two guards held Manisha firmly as she watched in horror as they mercilessly beat Abhishek. Their kicks rained down on his defenseless body, causing him to crumple in pain. The weight of their boots pressed down on his hand, and a cry of anguish escaped his lips.

Abhishek's body started to give up. He could feel every bone in his body ache with pain. He closed his eyes, hoping it would all end soon, but the guards were relentless. They seemed to derive pleasure from seeing him suffer.

Tears streamed down Manisha's face, unable to bear witness to the heart-wrenching sight before her. She knew she had to do something to protect Abhishek, to put an end to this senseless violence.

With resolve in her eyes, Manisha stepped forward, positioning herself between Abhishek and his attackers. But in the chaos, one of the guards accidentally pushed her, causing her to stumble backward, her body crashing against the wall.

Enraged by the sight of Manisha being harmed, something within Abhishek was stirred to life. A surge of adrenaline coursed through his veins as he found a renewed strength within himself.

In a swift and calculated motion, Abhishek sprang to his feet, his fists now his weapons. With each strike, he skillfully disabled the guards one by one. His movements were fluid and precise, a testament to the years of training he had undergone.

One by one, the guards fell before him, their attacks no match for his newfound determination. Abhishek fought with unwavering intensity, his thoughts consumed only by the safety of Manisha.

But as the last guard crumpled to the ground, Abhishek's triumph turned into anguish.

He turned to find Manisha no longer in sight. Panic gripped his chest as he frantically searched the room, calling out her name in desperation.
His worst fears were affirmed when he realized that Manisha was nowhere to be found.

In that heart-wrenching moment, Abhishek understood that this day would inevitably come. The realization pierced his soul as he confronted the painful truth—they were never meant to be.

With a sorrowful scream echoing through the empty room, Abhishek allowed the weight of his loss to consume him. His journey was far from over, but the absence of Manisha would forever haunt his every step.
