Ashwin pulled up to Sivaangi's house, the rain drumming a soothing melody on the roof of his car. They had just shared some beautiful moments , and the warmth of the night still lingered between them.

"Ashwin, why don't you want stay over here for a night?" Sivaangi asked, her eyes sparkling with invitation.

Ashwin hesitated, tempted by the prospect of spending more time in her home. "I shouldn't, I have an early meeting tomorrow," he said finally, reluctantly.

Sivaangi pouted playfully. "Okay, fine. But atleast a cup of coffee ?"

"No sweetheart, it's been so late already. Eventhough the offer is tempting but I have to go ma. I promise for another time." He said while getting down from the seat and opening sivaangi door.

Sivaangi smiled understandingly, though her eyes still sparkled with a hint of mischief. "Okay, fine. No coffee. But promise me you'll come over soon?

Ashwin's heart skipped a beat as he gazed into her eyes. "I promise," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

With a gentle smile, Sivaangi wrapped her arms around his waist while ashwin tightened his hold. Sivaangi leaned in and pecked him on the cheek. "Goodnight, Ashwin. Drive safe." She said and pulled away from him.

Ashwin's heart fluttered as he felt Sivaangi's warm embrace and gentle kiss on his cheek. He smiled, feeling a sense of comfort and happiness in her presence.

"Goodnight, Sivaangi," he replied, his voice soft and gentle. "I'll call you tomorrow."

As they pulled away from each other, Ashwin couldn't help but notice the way Sivaangi's eyes sparkled in the dim light of the evening. He felt a pang of longing, wishing he could stay with her forever.

But with a final smile, Sivaangi turned and walked towards her front door, leaving Ashwin to drive away into the night.

As he pulled over at his house,  Ashwin's phone pinged, breaking the cozy silence. He glanced at the screen, and his heart skipped a beat. There was a text message, and a video attachment.

The message read: "You think you're so lucky to have her, but I'll take her away from you."

Ashwin's eyes widened as he played the video, and his blood ran cold. The video showed him and Sivaangi embracing, their faces inches apart, the rain pouring down around them. It was the exact moment they had shared just moments before.

Ashwin's mind reeled as he wondered who could have recorded this intimate moment. He felt a chill run down his spine, his heart racing with unease. Who was behind this, and what did they want?

Ashwin's eyes scanned the darkness around him, feeling a sense of unease wash over him. He wondered if someone was watching him, following him. The thought sent a shiver down his spine.

He tried to shake off the feeling, telling himself it was just a prank, but the video and message lingered in his mind. He couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched.

With a sense of trepidation, Ashwin got out of the car and walked into his house. He couldn't wait to get inside his room and try to forget the eerie feeling that had settled over him.

As he entered his room, he locked the door behind him and sat on his bed trying to calm his racing heart. But his mind kept wandering back to Sivaangi and the video.

Who could have recorded that moment? And what did they want from him?

Just as he was trying to gather his thoughts, his phone pinged again. Another message from the same unknown number.

"You can't protect her forever, I will snatch her from you soon , just like YOU did" it read.

"What the hell" he shouted seeing the message. He couldn't gather his thoughts. He felt a surge of anger and shock.

As he sat there, trying to make sense of the message, Ashwin's mind raced with questions. Who was behind this? What did they want from him and Sivaangi? And what did they mean by "just like YOU did"?

Just as he was about to shake off the unease, his phone rang, breaking the silence. He glanced at the screen, and his face transformed instantly. Sivaangi's name flashed on the screen, and a warm smile spread across his face, chasing away the clouds of confusion.

He answered the call, his voice filled with affection, "Hey, did you reached home" The sound of Sivaangi's voice calmed his nerves and soothing his mind.

"Yess. Sivaangi ma just now." He replied lying on his front in the bed. For a moment, the strange message and video were forgotten, replaced by the comfort of their connection.

Ashwin's voice was laced with mischief as he asked, "Missing me already, sweetheart?"

Sivaangi's giggles filled the phone line, and she replied, "Maybe a little."

Ashwin chuckled, his heart skipping a beat at her admission. "Just a little?"

Sivaangi's blush deepened, even though she was alone in her room. "Yes. Only little not that much"

Ashwin held his heart and acted like he was in pain, " Ouch , only little I am wounded sweetheart". His tone was playfull.

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, like a gentle stream meandering through a serene landscape. They talked about their day, sharing stories and laughter.

After their playful banter, Sivaangi's yawn was audible over the phone. "I'm so sleepy, Ashwin. I think I'm going to sleep now."

Ashwin's voice was gentle. "Okay, sweetheart. Get some rest. We can talk more tomorrow."

"Goodnight, Ashwin," Sivaangi said, her voice soft and sleepy.

"Goodnight ma" Ashwin replied, smiling to himself as he hung up the phone.

But As he lay in bed, Ashwin couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered from the strange message and video. He knew he had to protect Sivaangi, but he didn't know where to start.

With a determined mindset, Ashwin drifted off to sleep, his mind racing with thoughts of how to keep Sivaangi safe.

He started by trying to track down the unknown number that sent the message and video. Little did he know, this was just the beginning of a thrilling adventure to keep his love safe.
