As the evening descended, Shefali felt a strange unease settle over her. Despite the earlier conversation with Veer, something about the way he looked at her left her feeling unsettled. His words had been kind, yet his eyes told a different story-one filled with a fierce intensity that bordered on obsession. She tried to shake off the feeling, convincing herself that Veer just needed time to adjust.
But time was not on her side.
The next morning, Shefali awoke to a strange message on her phone. It was from an unknown number, yet the words sent a chill down her spine: "I told you, Shefali. You belong with me."
Her hands trembled as she stared at the screen. She knew it had to be Veer. But why would he send something like this? She felt a knot form in her stomach, her instincts warning her that things were taking a dangerous turn.
Veer couldn't get Shefali out of his mind. Every waking moment was consumed by thoughts of her-her smile, her laugh, the way she looked at Aarav with affection. It was like a fire inside him, burning hotter with each passing day. He couldn't stand it. She was slipping through his fingers, and he had to do something about it.
He had tried being patient, giving her space, but it wasn't enough. She needed to understand that they were meant to be together, and if she couldn't see it on her own, he would have to show her.
Veer spent hours crafting his next move, thinking of ways to make Shefali see how deep his love for her ran. He knew he had crossed a line by sending her that message, but it was necessary. She would understand soon enough.
As the day went on, Shefali tried to push the message out of her mind, but it haunted her. Every time her phone buzzed, her heart raced, expecting another cryptic message. When Aarav texted her, asking if she wanted to study together after class, she agreed, desperate for the distraction.
They met at the usual spot in the library, and for a while, things felt normal. Aarav's calm presence was a balm to her frazzled nerves. But as they sat there, the feeling of being watched crept over her. She glanced around, half-expecting to see Veer lurking in the shadows.
