He's a keeper
He's a believer
He's on the ground
On his knees
In a theatre

Vincita Mansion, Edinburgh, Scotland

Anaya's pov

I did not have any idea about what to feel anymore.

I was feeling and not feeling at the same time.

Still my heart was thinking that it's cold outside, what if he gets sick-

Shut the fuck up Anaya. Just Shut up.

After locking him, I was about to step inside the mansion when I realised I can get lost inside with one wrong turn.

I need someone with me.

Fuck it.

I stepped back to the gazebo and saw Shubhveer with deadly expressions sitting on the bench while looking down at the broken diamond bracelet.

The weather had turned dead cold with clouds in the sky.

Just a few mins back it was sunny, and out of nowhere, such a drastic change..

He looked up the moment he heard the sound of my anklets.

He instantly got up and came towards the bars and spoke,"gosh you're back! I knew you were joking or pranking with me. Right Sohneyo?" He said.

His face had expressions of hope.

As if he actually didn't know what was happening and believed I was joking with him.

I didn't reply him and just said,"Kirat, come with me."

"Yes mam"

But before he could take a step forward, Shubh called him in his calmest tone ever, "Kirat.."

He stopped and looked at him.

"I know I told everyone to listen to her, but just reminding you two things, one, if you step inside the mansion with my wife, you'll step out for sure but just the fact that you won't be breathing and your heart won't be beating." He said so calmly as if these were just some random lines.

"Kirat are you coming inside or not." I warned.

"Haye meri jaan let me finish my two things. Flow khrab na karo please." He said as if nothing happened.

"So ya, what I was saying, two, you have 2 people here whose orders you have to accept. Now one of them wont kill you for not listening, the other one would. Choose wisely."

I took a deep breath and walked towards him.

"Kyu? Dar gaye kya? Kyuki finally Anaya Shekhawat ne tumhe jail mein daal diya."

He smiled.

"Tsk tsk. Mere ishq ne daala hai."

"Hmm. Sure. But question is, itna dar gaye jo ab bechare Kirat ko dhamki de rhe ho?"

"Sohneyo believe me you can do anything to me but I won't allow anyone to enter in the mansion with you alone."

"Why so?"

"Cause they fucking have maps of most of the places while you know nothing."

And thats when things hit me.

He's kind of correct.

From the bars, he takes his hands out and cups my face.

"Look at me Love, I'm just protecting you."

I removed his hands from me and stepped back.

"They are your men Shubh."

"But they are 'men'."

I didn't know what to say next.

What should I say.

He-

"Baby please talk to me and share with me what happened. I believe it's a misunderstanding. Let's clear it."

I raised my eyes and looked at him.

"Please" he begged.

"No. I-I won't listen to you this time Shubh. You always do this! Always!"

"What do I do Sohneyo? I am not able to understand anything. I'll only understand if you talk and tell me what exactly happened."

"Tum firse shehed laga ke meethi baatien karoge aur main tumhari baton mein aa jaungi."

He laughed.

"Nahi yaar. Sometimes misunderstandings ruin relationships. Remember how last time you misunderstood that I didn't trust you and you went far away from me."

"Hnn?"

"Haan meri jaan."

"Just talk and then hear me out"

"O-okay"

"Good enough. Now open the-"

"I won't open you. Stay where you are"

"Haan theek hai theek hai. Thoda qareeb toh aa jaein aap."

I nod and step forward.

"I wont eat you Anaya. Come closer. The way you were before."

"Jo bolna hai yahi se bolo."

"You're my wife and we have personal things. All of the guards are here. Step forward."

Reluctantly I walk.

"Now tell me what happened" he says.

"I wont tell you what happened"

"What? Then how will we resolve."

"Just tell me this Twinkle thing. Why you-" and my words halted as something pinched my neck badly.

"Shubh-" my knees instantly fell weak but strong hands grabbed me.

"Shhh..I love you so much."

Next chapter is out on scrollstack.

So, I was in the life of my apartment.

There was a guys as well who went inside the lift with me.

He was black, and TRUST ME WHEN I SAY BLACK PEOPLE ARE SO HOT!!

So then came in his friend as well so the guy stopped the lift for him.

They both came and saw at the side of me and saw there was a mirror.

The guy said "Ayo somebody put a mirror in the elevator"

And the accent bro the accent, the accent with which he said that was sooo funny and then they both laughed.

Fir kya, main bhi dono ke sath hasne lag gyi.

And hum teeno bas vo mirror dekh ke pagalo jaise hasne lag gaye. 😍😍😍
