Obsession Vs Possession

Chapter - 5 ( Unspoken Moments )

Rudransh returned from the office, his eyes scanning the hallway until they landed on Ariya's closed door. He smiled, knowing she was safe in her room. Next, he made his way to Jasmine's room, pushing open the door to find her standing at the window, gazing out at the garden. He was mesmerized by the sight of her, his eyes locked onto her profile.

Jasmine felt a presence behind her and turned to find Rudransh watching her. Their eyes met for a brief moment before he turned and left, disappearing into his own room.

Rudransh freshened up, taking a shower and changing into comfortable clothes - a loose t-shirt and joggers. He made his way to the dining room, where he found Jasmine and Ariya smiling at each other.

"What's so funny?" He asked, taking a seat at the table.

But they just smiled, not sharing their secret.

Rudransh turned to Jasmine. "How was your day with Ariya?"

Jasmine replied carefully, leaving out her escape plan. "It was fine, thanks."

Rudransh nodded, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm glad to hear that."

"Can I ask you a question?" Jasmine said.

"Of course, you can ask whatever you want" Rudransh replied.

"Why did you save me?" Jasmine asked.
Rudransh didn't answer, instead focusing on his food.

Jasmine calmly asked again. "Why did you save me and how did you know my name, how did you know I was in danger? Tell me." Again, Rudransh didn't answer.

Jasmine's frustration grew. She hit the table, her voice rising.
"WHY DID YOU SAVE ME? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?"
Rudransh remained calm, his expression serene. "Eat your dinner, Jasmine."

But Jasmine was beyond reason. She glared at him, her eyes blazing with anger. " You're not going to tell me, are you?"

Rudransh's silence was his answer.

Jasmine threw down her napkin and stood up. "I've had enough of this."

Rudransh tried to stop her, his hand reaching out. "Jasmine, wait..."

But she shook him off, her eyes blazing with tears. "No, I've had enough."

She stormed out of the dining room, leaving Rudransh and Ariya behind.

In her room, Jasmine collapsed onto her bed, tears streaming down her face. She thought about her life, about how she ended up here, and cried until her body ached.

As she finally fell asleep, Rudransh entered her room, his eyes filled with concern. He sat down beside her bed, gently wiping a tear from her cheek.

"Sorry, Jasmine," he whispered. "Everything will be fine very soon. You'll get all the answers. Just be patient, please."

He looked at her for a long moment, his expression soft. "It's hurting me to see you cry "

Then, he stood up and left, leaving Jasmine to her dreams.
