The forced alliance (Completed)

Tere liye hum hain jiyee

In a dimly lit room, a shadowy figure watches Aradhyaa through a series of monitors. The room is cluttered with photos of her, and a large map with pins marking various locations she frequents.

The figure types furiously on a laptop, pulling up details about her new job and her daily routine.The stalker speaks in a low, menacing voice.

"Aradhyaa, you can't escape me. Not for long."

After a day or two Abhimaan boards the plane, his mind racing with thoughts of Aradhyaa. He takes a deep breath, looking out the window as the plane takes off. He hopes this trip will give him the clarity he needs.

Aarav had booked a cozy cabin in the Swiss Alps for him, far away from the bustling city life. As the plane descends over the picturesque landscapes, Abhimaan feels a strange mix of anticipation and dread.

Here in Switzerland, Aradhyaa reports to her new office after getting the much deserved promotion

Aradhyaa arrives at the media house, greeted by her new boss, Marcus, a kind but stern man in his fifties.

"Welcome, Aradhyaa. We're excited to have you on board."

She smiles, feeling a bit more at ease.

"Thank you, Mr. Marcus. I'm looking forward to contributing."

As she settles into her new role, Aradhyaa notices a few strange occurrences—a colleague, Emma, seems overly interested in her, asking too many personal questions. Aradhyaa brushes it off as curiosity.During lunch, Emma joins her.

"So, Aradhyaa, tell me more about yourself. Why Switzerland?"

Aradhyaa hesitates, trying to keep her answers vague.

"Just needed a change of scenery, I guess."

Emma's eyes narrow slightly, but she continues to smile.

"Interesting. Well, if you need anything, feel free to ask."

Back to the stalker , the stalker watches the interaction between Aradhyaa and Emma on his ipad.

The figure smirks, making a call. "It's time to execute the next phase. Make sure everything is in place."

Abhimaan arrives at the cabin, feeling a sense of isolation that is both comforting and unsettling.

He unpacks his things, trying to focus on the work meeting scheduled for the next day.As he prepares dinner, his phone buzzes with a video call from Aarav.

"Hope you’re settling in well. Don’t forget to relax a bit."

Abhimaan smiles faintly. "I'll try," he says back, Aarav notices a mysterious box behind Abhimaan

"Hey bro, what's in that mysterious box behind you it seems little creepy and shady. Are you on some secret mission?" he says teasingly.

Abhi laughs awkwardly and shifs uncomfortably, making Aarav laugh out loud

Chill bro, anything wrong, and Abhimaan can never be in one sentence and jokes apart sirf kaam mat karna vacation pe gaya hai tu tujhe aaraam ki and tere dil aur fimaag ko vlarity ki zaroorat hai"

Abhimaan mutters " mujhe mere dil ko mere dimaag ko meri rooh ko mere zarre zarre ko sirf uski zaroorat hai"

Aarav says, "kuch bola kya?" To whi he shakes his head and wish him good night.

That evening, Aradhyaa returns to her apartment, feeling a strange sense of being watched.

She looks around but sees nothing unusual. As she locks the door behind her, her phone buzzes with a message from Sofia.

"Hey, staying late at work. Don’t wait up for me."

Aradhyaa texts back, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

She sighs, settling on the couch with a book, but her mind keeps drifting back to Abhimaan. She wonders what he’s doing and if he’s thought about her at all.

Abhimaan, sitting by the fireplace, finally opens his laptop. The screen lights up with a live feed from a hidden camera placed in Aradhyaa’s apartment, which he placed with the help of her new boss, who is also Abhimaan'sgood friend. He watches her, torn between the desire to reach out and the fear of causing her more pain.
"I have to see her," he whispers to himself, making a decision. "I can’t go on like this."

As Aradhyaa gets ready for bed, she glances at the window, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She quickly shuts the curtains and locks the door to her room.Meanwhile, the stalker, now revealed to be Emma, receives a call.

"Yes, she's home. I'll make my move soon."

Abhimaan heads to his meeting, but his mind is elsewhere. He resolves to find Aradhyaa and explain everything, hoping it’s not too late.Back at the media house, Aradhyaa is working on a story when Emma approaches her desk.

"Hey, Aradhyaa, need any help with that?"

Aradhyaa looks up, slightly wary.

"No, I’m good. Thanks, Emma."

Emma smiles, but there’s a hint of something unsettling in her eyes.

"Alright. Let me know if you change your mind."

Later that night, as Aradhyaa is walking home, she feels the familiar sensation of being watched. She quickens her pace, her heart pounding in her chest. Just as she reaches her apartment building,

Emma steps out from the shadows."Hey, Aradhyaa," Emma says with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.

"Mind if we talk for a moment?"Aradhyaa takes a step back, her instincts screaming at her to run.

"Emma, it's late. Can this wait until tomorrow?"

Emma's smile fades, replaced by a cold, calculating expression. "I'm afraid it can't."
