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...

Aryan ruffled his hair and uttered, " please don't cry."
His voice only brought tears to her eyes. He put his coat and tie on the couch before walking toward her. She turned her face opposite, not wanting to see his face.
He exhaled deeply and sat down beside her.
" Look at me."
His voice was harsh, forced and rude.
" Please, look at me, biwi."
This time, he changed his tone and sounded a little softer than before. Instead of looking at him, Pakhi looked down to her lap.
" You said..you will let me go if I attend that reception but you changed your words now."
He chewed his lower lip, noticing her nose which has turned red due to crying continuously. She looked adorable and he knew from the start that Pakhi is a sensitive girl.
" You are so bad. You make me do things then refuse to fulfil my demand," Pakhi continued and wiped her tears.
She looked at his face for the first time without fear and his heart melted seeing tears in her orbs. His ego was crushed and all the anger flew away.
" Hey! Don't cry," he uttered softly and attempted to cup her cheeks but she did not let him.
" You always pretend to care but..but in the end you prove your cruelty."
" Your brother-"
She frowned when his voice raised. He stopped in the middle, pinched the bridge of his nose then continued with a soft tone.
" It's between me and your brother. You don't need to cry."
" But, I am involved between you and Bhai," she replied.
" Yeah, but..I can't let you go because your brother is not an innocent person. He has also said many wrong things to me. Tell him to apologise first, only then I will let you go."
She stared at him standing up and taking his clothes from almirah then going to the bathroom.
Apologise and her brother? He would never. He hates him and always looks for ways to degrade him.
Still, she tried her luck once and called her brother. As he picked up the call, she put the mobile against her right ear.
" Princess? What's wrong?"
" Bhai, have you reached home?"
She asked.
" Yes. Just a while ago."
" Oh," she uttered and chewed her lower lip, not knowing how to ask him to apologise to Aryan.
