📖

For five days now, Veer has been tirelessly searching for Akshu. He's desperate to find her because Vidyut's men found out that he knows where she is. So, they keep moving her from one island to another to keep her away from Veer. Vidyut's obsession with Akshu is growing stronger by the day. The hunger and desire in his eyes can be seen, whenever he looks at her.

Veer is feeling frustrated because every attempt he makes to save Akshu ends in failure. But he refuses to give up. He's doing everything in his power to find her.  As days stretched into weeks, Akshu's isolation grew more profound. Each passing moment without Veer felt like an eternity. The only company she had were the shadows of Vidyut's menacing men, their eyes filled with hunger, not just for power, but for her.

Her longing for Veer intensified with each sunrise she couldn't witness, each sunset she couldn't share with him. The walls of her confinement seemed to close in on her, suffocating her spirit. But still, she clung to the flicker of hope that Veer would find her, that their love would conquer all.

The conditions imposed upon her by Vidyut's men became more unbearable by the day. They demanded her compliance, threatened her with starvation, but Akshu remained resolute .As a result, she's becoming weaker and weaker. She's lost weight and her immune system is struggling. She refused to yield, knowing that to give in would be to betray not just herself, but the love she shared with Veer.

In the darkness of her captivity, Akshu's mind wandered to memories of Veer - his smile, his touch, the warmth of his embrace. It was these memories that sustained her, that gave her the strength to endure the trials she faced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akshu was sleeping fitfully on the cold, hard floor of the dimly lit room when she heard it—a small, familiar whisper that seemed to cut through the heavy silence like a ray of light piercing through the darkness. Her eyes, hazy from sleep, struggled to adjust to the dimness around her. But as the contours of the room slowly became familiar, she saw him—Veer, standing there with a smile on his face, his presence like a beacon of hope in the desolate expanse of her captivity.

Without a moment's hesitation, Akshu's heart leapt with joy, her exhaustion forgotten as she scrambled to her feet, her eyes never leaving Veer's beloved face. With a cry of pure longing, she ran towards him, her arms outstretched, reaching for him as if he was the only source that can keep her sane. 

Akshu's POV:

In that embrace, time seemed to stand still. Veer's arms around me were a sanctuary, a refuge from the torment of my captivity. I buried my face against his chest, seeking solace in the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, a melody that echoed the ache in my own soul.

"Veer," I whispered, my voice barely a breath, my words carrying the weight of a thousand unspoken fears and longing. "I've missed you so much. The days without you... they felt like an eternity."

His response was a gentle caress against my hair, his touch a balm to the raw edges of my heart. "I know, Akshu," he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "I've missed you too, more than words can say. Every moment apart from you has been a torment, a relentless ache that refuses to fade."

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I lifted my gaze to meet his, my vision blurred by the shimmering veil of unshed emotion. "I thought I'd lost you," I confessed, my voice trembling with the weight of my admission. "I thought I'd never see you again."
