It's a dark, scary night. The sound of a wolf howling comes from the middle of the forest, and it seems as if someone is running. The tinkling of anklets suggests a girl is fleeing.

She is wearing a heavy red lehenga. It seems as if she is running away from her wedding. Wearing heels, she can't run properly. She takes off her heels and starts running barefoot. The stones on the ground prick her feet, causing them to bleed. She is in pain and lacks the strength to keep running.

Her dupatta gets caught in a tree. She stops to free it. Then, a voice comes from behind. Her facial expression changes, and tears fall from her eyes.

"Kaha tak bhagogi, jaha bhi jaogi mein tumhe dhund hi lunga" a man says in a cold voice. "You are only mine. Kisi ko haq nhi tumhe chune."

Fear is evident in her eyes. She turns slowly to see the man standing right beside her. There's a strange smile on his face, making it even more terrifying.

Blood is dripping from the girl's feet, yet she has only one question on her face, "Why can't you let me go?"

The man takes a step forward, and the girl tries to step back, but she's stuck with the tree. He says, "You are my life. I can do anything to have you. You belong to me only, and no one else."

Her heart is pounding. She can see no way out. Her breath seems to stop. Tears are flowing, but she tries to compose herself.

She pulls her dupatta forcefully, freeing it from the tree, and starts running again, but the man is still behind her. Their footsteps echo in the darkness of the dense forest.

Suddenly, she sees a small lake ahead. She thinks maybe she can find a way across the water. She jumps in, but the water is deep, and she can't swim.

The boy stands at the edge of the lake, his eyes gleaming with madness. "I told you, wherever you go, I will find you," he says again.

The girl's strength is fading. She looks up one last time, then her eyes close, and she gets lost in the darkness.

Slowly, her eyes begin to open. Her head feels heavy, and she's disoriented. When her vision clears a bit, she sees that her hands are tightly bound with a rope. She tries to move her hands, but the rope is so tight that she can't free herself.

The room is dark, with only a small lamp burning in one corner, casting just enough light to see faces. Her breathing is getting faster, and fear is evident on her face.

Then she notices. Sitting on a chair, the man is staring at her. There's a strange smile on his face, intensifying the fear.

"Kesi ho, meri jaan?" the man says, his voice chilling. "I told you, wherever you go, I will find you."

She tries to free her hands, but the rope is too tight to loosen. She asks the man in fear, "Why are you doing all this to me?"

Looking at his knife, he slowly says, "Because you belong only to me. And I don't want anyone else to touch you. You are my Destiny, and I can't share you with anyone else."

Tears escape from her eyes, her heart beating fast. She tries to compose herself, but she's so weak that she doesn't know what to do.

"Come, let's take our story to a new turn," he says, placing his knife aside and moving towards her. "You will understand how deep our relationship is."
