RUDRA SEES AAYARA

***author's pov***

Aayara jolted awake as a bucket of cold water was thrown on her face, the shock of the ice-cold liquid snapping her from her unconscious state. She sputtered and gasped, the suddenness of the wake-up leaving her disoriented and shivering.

The dungeon, dimly lit and cold, felt even more oppressive now. She looked around, trying to focus, and saw one of the guards standing nearby, a cruel smirk on his face. The guard stepped forward and sneered, "Looks like you’re finally awake. Time to face reality."

Aayara tried to shake off the disorientation, her eyes darting around the room, desperately searching for any sign of escape or solace.

Aayara glared at the guard, her eyes burning with a mixture of defiance and anger. Despite her weakened state, she refused to let him see her fear or submission. Her gaze was fierce, determined to show that she would not be easily broken, even in such dire circumstances.

The guard placed a plate of rice and daal in front of Aayara, the food looking plain and unappetizing. He watched her with a smirk, clearly enjoying her discomfort.

Aayara stared at the meal, her stomach growling with hunger but her spirit unyielding. Despite the hunger and exhaustion, she refused to give in easily. She looked up at the guard with a defiant expression, as if daring him to force her into submission.

The guard approached Aayara and roughly unlocked one of her shackled hands. The chains clinked loudly in the cold, damp air of the dungeon. As he did so, he kept a close watch on her, a smirk playing on his lips as if he took some satisfaction in her struggle.

Aayara’s hand, now freed, trembled slightly as she tried to regain some feeling. Her gaze remained defiant, though her eyes betrayed her weariness and the pain from her ordeal.

Aayara took a deep breath, determined to stay strong despite her predicament. She reached for the plate with her freed hand and began eating slowly, each bite a struggle against her physical weakness and emotional turmoil.

The rice and daal were bland, but she forced herself to eat, knowing that maintaining her strength was crucial. As she ate, she focused on staying resilient, using the time to plan and gather her strength for whatever might come next.

After she finished eating, Aayara looked around the dungeon, her thoughts racing. She knew that the small reprieve of food wouldn’t change her situation, but it was a chance to regain some strength.

The guard, still watching her with a smirk, eventually left the room, leaving Aayara alone with her thoughts. She used this time to assess her surroundings, searching for any potential opportunities or weaknesses in her confinement.

Her mind raced with ideas of escape, but she knew she needed to stay calm and think clearly. Despite the pain and fear, she resolved to remain strong and look for any chance to turn her situation around.

Arjun’s brothers, Rudra and Daksh, entered the dungeon. Rudra, always with a somewhat carefree demeanor, looked at Aayara with mild curiosity. Daksh, on the other hand, had a more cold and detached expression, his eyes scanning her with a mix of amusement and indifference.

Rudra, glancing around, commented with a smirk, “Well, isn’t this a charming setup?”

Daksh’s eyes briefly met Aayara’s, his expression inscrutable. “How’s the new life treating you, Aayara?”

Their presence was a reminder of Arjun’s control and the complexity of the situation she was in. Aayara remained silent, her gaze steady as she tried to maintain her composure in their presence.

Aayara, seeing Rudra, felt a flicker of hope amidst her fear. She shivered and, with a voice trembling but determined, asked, "Rudra... Why? Why did you save me that day if this is how it ends?"
