Anushka came back home a little early this time, tossing her bag onto the couch before heading to the kitchen. She took out her phone and called Ranveer.
"Honey, are you gonna be home by dinner?" she asked, her voice light despite the day's fatigue.
"Yeah... I was gonna cook today... Alright, be home by 8:00... Okay," Ranveer replied.
Anushka put the phone back on the counter and opened the fridge, pulling out vegetables and placing them into a bowl filled with water. She walked towards the hall and stopped abruptly when she saw someone standing there.
The figure was a woman, judging by her silhouette, dressed in black and wearing a black mask.
"Okay..." Anushka took a few steps back, leaning on the counter, her eyes narrowing. "And who might you be?" she asked, her voice steady but filled with suspicion.
The figure pulled out a knife, the blade glinting ominously, already smeared with blood. Without warning, the woman charged at her. Anushka moved swiftly, pulling a kitchen knife from the counter.
Anushka circled around the kitchen island, keeping the counter between her and the intruder. "Who the fuck are you?" she demanded, her grip tightening on the knife.
The woman swung her knife, and Anushka dodged, stepping back with a calculated move. She countered with a kick to the woman's midriff, her heel sinking in and eliciting a grunt of pain.
The woman staggered but quickly recovered, lunging at Anushka again. Anushka sidestepped, slashing with her knife and scoring a shallow cut on the woman's arm. The attacker hissed in pain but did not relent, swinging wildly.
Anushka blocked the strike, but the knife grazed her forearm, leaving a thin red line. Ignoring the pain, Anushka pressed her advantage. She feinted left and then lunged right, slamming the hilt of her knife into the woman's wrist. The knife clattered to the floor, and Anushka followed up with a powerful elbow to the attacker's face, sending her reeling backward.
Without stopping, Anushka swung her leg, slicing through the air and kicking her right in the face. The woman fell back again, hitting the floor with a thud.
The attacker crawled towards her fallen knife. "Are you the Reaper?" Anushka asked, her tone mocking. "I don't really think so..." Anushka clenched her fist. "You're too weak..." she added, her voice dripping with disdain.
Blood dripped from her hand. "This is gonna leave a scar... And I don't like it," Anushka said, kicking the woman again, sending her sprawling back to the floor.
The realization of being outmatched dawned on the attacker, and she scrambled to her feet, fleeing towards the door. Anushka stood her ground, watching the killer run away. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart.
Returning to the living room, she grabbed a cotton cloth and wrapped it around her bleeding hand. She picked up her phone and called Ranveer again.
"Hi honey... I was just attacked by someone, and I don't have a clue why," she said, her voice shaking slightly.
