Saraswati was more than delighted; she was on cloud nine. Receiving a scholarship, securing a meticulous room in the hostel, and having a well-paying job were beyond her wildest dreams. She felt truly blessed and couldn't ask for more.

Her new room was perfect, featuring a master bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and a balcony. After settling in, she informed her father through her brother, Anirudh. However, the news she received in return was distressing. Her father was frequently harassed by local goons, and her brother-in-law was pressuring her to marry a wealthy toy company owner who was 43 years old and obsessively infatuated with her. Saraswati was determined not to let her life be dictated by others' ambitions. She had no intention of becoming a mother to his grown children, who were nearly her age.

Her father had always encouraged her to escape such a fate and forge her own path. Thanks to his support and her relentless hard work over the past year, she was now on the right track.

Sitting in her cozy drawing room, Saraswati felt a wave of hunger. As a dedicated scholar, she usually relied on the canteen, which served excellent food. However, today she craved something homemade and Indian.

She had already moved in her belongings, including some groceries, and decided to make dosa. As she cooked, the rich aroma filled the room, and she relished each bite, moaning softly in appreciation. Unbeknownst to her, someone was watching her through the window, their eyes filled with a different kind of hunger.

Saraswati's phone rang, jolting her from her thoughts. It was her father, his voice fraught with worry. He reminded her to stay vigilant and focused on her studies. As she assured him of her safety, she noticed a shadow outside her balcony. Her heart raced, but she dismissed it as her imagination.

After finishing her meal, she decided to explore the campus. The lush greenery and serene environment provided a stark contrast to the turmoil she had left behind. She strolled through the gardens, feeling a sense of freedom and independence she had never known before.

Returning to her room, Saraswati felt a renewed determination. She unpacked her books and set up a study corner by the balcony, where the natural light streamed in. As night fell, she glanced outside once more, the eerie feeling from earlier creeping back. She drew the curtains, blocking out the darkness and the watchful eyes that seemed to follow her.

Settling into bed, Saraswati reflected on her journey. She had overcome significant obstacles to reach this point, and she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. With her father's encouragement and her own unwavering resolve, she knew she could build a future on her own terms.
