She'll run away. He'll chase her.
If he'll catch her, she'll be forever trapped.
Like a moth attracted to light, Pakhi was pulled close to him. People called him mad, heartless and cold but she cared about none.
His world was dark, traumatising and...

Shruti burst the door of her brother's bedroom open.
" How could you do this Bhai?"
Aryan shifted his attention from the file he was reading to her.
" What?" he raised his eyebrows. She fisted her hand and took quick steps toward him.
" How much did you pay to make that artist write your name on her Henna?"
" Did Pakhi find out?"
Shruti rolled her eyes and folded her hands around the chest.
" No, I did. The artist was clever to hide your name. She wouldn't be able to find it unless she tries hard. But why did you do that Bhai?"
He looked back at his face and turned the page while speaking, " a girl should write only her husband's name on her hand."
" She can't be your wife-"
She refrained herself from completing the sentence when he sent an intense stare to her by lifting his thick eyelashes. Her brother is scary, especially when it's about Pakhi.
He closed the file and put it in the drawer.
" Did you get the pictures?"
She hummed unwillingly.
" Good. Send them to me."
Shruti stared at him going toward the bed and sitting on it.
" Bhai, do you think you are doing right?"
" What's not right?"
" She seemed happy, Bhai. Her family will be broken if you do something. Leave them, bhai."
" How was he?"
The audacity of his to ignore her and question her back. She managed to cool her anger then uttered sarcastically,
" Same as you. He's as arrogant as you."
He chuckled and rested his back on the headpost.
" Is that so? He must be disappointed not seeing me."
She nodded, leaving Aryan impressed.
" Bhai, please, he'll be so angry. His hatred for you will grow more."
He shook his head, " there was no reason to hate me, Shruti. He was blinded by a misunderstanding which he did not let me clear. In the end he accused me of killing his girlfriend. He was not the same Jaydev I knew. Sending an invitation to me even though we no longer have a relationship, was a stupid move by him. He wants to defeat me as he knows how much I love his sister. He knows my every fucking weakness and strength."
" What's the point?"
Shruti asked and he exhaled softly,
" For now, I just want her. Jaydev should know I ain't a useless shit who will hide from him."
