Hidden Flames ....♡

< Part 16 >

Amrita was looking over the books which were bought for the girls,
She picked up a bundle to settle them in the shelf.
She sighed when a few books fell,
As she bent down to pick the books up, someone already picked it.

"Here mam"
Amrita looked up at the voice and noticed a young man,
She took the books and thanked him
"uh....I never saw you here..."
The man, Rohan, smiled a little and said,
"yes.. I volunteer here, only for weekends".

Amrita nodded in understanding,

Rohan :, please.... Keep it here, I will do the rest.

Amrita hesitated a little but left.

Her little interaction didn't went unnoticed.

Amrita was about to enter the cottage but she was pulled back.
Her breath hitched seeing daksh in front her, he held her wrist and pulled her closer.
"Chodiye...kya kar rahe hai aap"

Daksh : kya baat Kar rahi thi usse
He asked horsely

Amrita struggled in his grip
"meri marzi.. Aapse matlab
Aur chodiye mujhe*
Daksh clenched his jaw
"tumhari har marzi me mera matlab hona chahiye samjhi.."

Amrita whimperd
"chahiye kya aapko"
She asked frustratedly

Daksh : tum
Amrita : aapko ek baar samajh nahi aata... Nahi pasand karti hu main--

Daksh : main to karta hu... Kaafi hai

Amrita jerked her hand but daksh growled
"Amrita..!"
She felt shivers down her spine, he continued
"agar ainda se mere alawa koi mard tumhare
aas paas dikhai diya to--"

Amrita : to kya
Daksh smirked
"to sab kuch tabah kardunga main"
Amrita shuddered and inhaled

Daksh : tumhe pata hai problem kya hai..
Hamara koi rishta nahi hai..

Amrita was confused,
He was  speaking like a psycho

Daksh : to hum... Rishta bana lete hai.. Nai..?
Problem solved..

Amrita gritted her teeth
"besharam hai aap"
He scoffed as his eyes darkened
"aaj nahi to kal shadi to honi hi hai.. Phir kyu deri kare..."

Amrita was scared
"sapno me bhi main aapki nahi ho sakti--"
He laughed manicly

"sapno ki baat to karo hi mat,"
He leaned closer and whispered
"vaha to hum bohot aage badh chuke hai"

She looked away gulping,
"nahi karungi main aapse shadi.."
He sighed and looked away for a moment and again gazed back at her
"lagta hai... Tum... In ladkiyon ko aage badhte hue nahi dekhna chahti"
She scrunched her brows at his sentence
"hmm... Ab shadi nahi karogi to.. Ye cottage.. institute.. Sab barbaad hone wala hai na"
She widen her eyes at his threat.

"aap aisa kuch nahi karenege--"
He cut her off
"kar ke dikhaunga"

He pulled her closer
"Kal ke Kal tumse shadi karunga main
Aur agar koi hoshiyari ki.. ya mujhse door jane ki koshish ki to anjam acha nahi hoga"

He smirked looking at her scared expression and left.
Amrita couldn't control herself and ran away,
locking the door she leaned and cried on her fate.

Everyone were quietly having their dinner at Chauhan's place when Pratap cleared his throat.
"Vikrant, ab to cottage ka bhi sara kaam ho chuka hai....tum ab meera ko lekar kahi bahar kyu nahi jaate.."
Bhavana : Haa vaise.. Baat to sahi hai, bechari shaadi ke baad sirf ghar ke chakkar kaat Kar apna din guzaarti hai.
