Sprinting out of the house, the rain leashes out at her, yet her steps never slow down until they have reached their destination. Her hands touch the cold metallic rod of the gate pushing it open. Stepping into the darkness covering the entire area lit only momentarily by the flickering light, Kiara gathers herself as she calls Kartik Rathod.

" I want to meet you. I will message you my address," she says coldly. Sitting on the bench, amid heavy rain and thunderstorms as if gathering all her strength for the impending doom.

The black sedan halts at the entrance. " shit, I forgot the umbrella " Kartik curses, opening the car door while leaving the headlights on. Heading inside the park, he finds a drenched Kiara sitting on the bench. The approaching footsteps shiver her to the inner core. She stands up at once, her sight travelling to him, hands fist the dupatta tightly controlling the shaking. It is not her first encounter with Kartik Rathod, they have met earlier in the office too but the trepidation was a new addition. Standing face to face, Kiara hurls the question at him.

"Where is my sister?"

" in hell, I told you to marry my brother otherwise the consequences will be.." Before he can finish off, Kiara interrupts.

" I will take my complaint back but I want you to return my sister unharmed and as pure as she was before abduction " she puts forth a condition.

"After marriage, your sister will be with you," Kartik smirks, stepping closer to her, forcing her to step back immediately. The fear that resonated in her beautiful eyes, brought pleasure and an evil smile on his handsome face.

" must say you are very..." Karthik utters, staring at her with desire.

" shut up " Kiara slams walking past him but the familiar fragrance of the perfume freezes her steps.

"That perfume! It's the same...but Aryan sir, No I saw him but it was dark" she pondered heading back towards her house. But the marriage offer solely disgusted her, Kiara gazed at the stormy waves of the beach, as if a reflection of her inner self. She walks towards the ocean, at a high tide. Every moment flashed in front of her, that night, that filthy touch, his vicious stare loaded with lust, and the moment when she was despairing and vulnerable.

" no, I can't marry him!! I would rather die than marry my rap.." she cries, her knees hit the road and a scream escapes tearing away the storm's roar.

"No!! Why me?? Why is my life a hell? Why do I have to sacrifice myself to save my sister? Why?? If I die, everything will come to an end, all this misery, this pain. my family won't have to suffer!!! because of me, they will live a brutal miserable life, my sister's purity will always be at stake and for Ajay bhai, I am a curse then why not end it, this unfortunate life" she screams, her eyes gaping at the sky roaring with a thunderstorm, the lightning flashing in the clouds. Getting up, she steps towards the ocean, the cold wet sand touching her feet and the water as if decoying her into it. Letting go of her body, letting it delve into the ocean she shuts her eyes as if liberating herself of all sorrows And embraces death but suddenly a familiar touch encircles her wrist, attempting to pull her out.

" leave me " she shouts, struggling against the firm hold. An outrageous wave hits them.

" leave me!!!", Kiara yells, failing in every attempt to free herself.

" shut up" he pulls her up into a warm embrace. His arms wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly controlling her panicking movements.

" Kiara " he shouts. The pleasing voice hits into recognition instantly, striking a chord in her heart before she slips into unconsciousness. Fear shrouds him as he carries her in his arms out of the ocean. Placing her lifeless body on the wet sand he pushes her stomach with both his hands placed on top of each other. Water flees her lips as he keeps pushing but when her eyes don't flutter open a moment falls, in which the hope was slowly driving away but he clasps it intact.

"Kiara, you can't give up like this. You have to fight, you have to get him behind bars. Kiara, get up, you have to fulfil your dreams, Please Kiara." he cries but the thread of hope lies broken.

" KIARA " he shouts in anguish. The Immense sorrow shrouds him striking hard at the soul. all the endeavours to save her fail in front of those eyes which once fell in love with Kiara, who lies lifeless in his arms.
