Author's POV :-

Professor Patel began discussing topics.

Aranya's mind wandered to Akshat's surprise that morning.

His thoughtful gestures always made her heart skip a beat.

Ananya nudged her, grinning mischievously.

"Earth to Aranya!" she whispered.

Aranya giggled, focusing on the lecture.

After class, they headed to the cafeteria.

"Want to grab coffee?" Ananya asked.

Aranya nodded.

As they sipped their lattes, Aranya's thoughts drifted back to Akshat.

Unbeknownst to Aranya, Akshat had taken extra precautions.

A discreet figure, dressed in casual clothes, blended into the crowd.

Vikram, a skilled bodyguard, had been shadowing Aranya since morning.

Akshat's instructions were clear: "Protect her, no matter what."

Vikram's eyes scanned the cafeteria, monitoring potential threats.

Aranya laughed with Ananya, oblivious to the silent guardian.

As they left the cafeteria, Vikram fell into step behind them.

His trained ears picked up every conversation, every rustle.

Akshat's voice echoed in his mind.

"Keep her safe. Don't let anyone harm her."

Vikram's gaze locked onto Aranya's smiling face.

His duty was clear.

Flashback:-

Vikram's past was marked by loss and redemption.

Formerly a special forces operative, he witnessed his team's brutal ambush.

Haunted by survivor's guilt, Vikram left the military.

A chance encounter with Akshat changed his trajectory.

Akshat's words resonated: "Protect those who can't protect themselves."

Vikram found purpose as Akshat's trusted bodyguard.

Present time :-

Now, he watched over Aranya with unwavering dedication.

His skills honed, Vikram blended into the shadows.

Ever vigilant, he anticipated potential dangers.

For Aranya's safety, Vikram would risk everything.

Aranya's phone buzzed in her pocket.

She pulled it out, her heart skipping a beat.

An unknown number flashed on the screen.

"Akshat is mine."

Ice coursed through her veins.

Who was this?

Her mind raced.

Was this a prank?

Another message arrived.

"If you love Akshat, meet me at Club Eclipse tonight."

Aranya's eyes blazed with anger.

"Who dare's to claim Akshat?" she seethed.

Her agent instincts kicked in.

Time to investigate.

She forwarded the messages to her secure server.
