Author's pov:

It was around 8 when Ruhanika got up. She found herself on a large bed. She then walked out to see her husband talking to someone on his phone. She smiled looking at him. He too smiled and gestured her to sit as he is in an important call. She nodded.

She sat in front of him and started scrolling through her phone. After sometime abhimaan cut the call.

"Good evening rooh" he wished her smiling.

"Good evening abhimaan ji" she replied with a sweet smile.

"Rooh...I was thinking let's go somewhere...what say?" Asked abhimaan. "Where?" She questioned him back.

"Let's have dinner outside." He immediately said. "Hmm but I will have icecream after that" said Ruhanika excitedly. Abhimaan chukkled at her childishness and said "of course rooh".

Soon they left the office, abhimaan informed at home that they will have dinner outside. He wanted to book a restaurant, the whole restaurant so that no one disturbs his precious time with his love. But Ruhanika stopped him and suggested they should go normally. He unwillingly agreed.

As they were in the lift, suddenly the lift stopped with a jerk. The lights started flickering and eventually got off. Abhimaan held her hand. They both took out their phone but no network. Ruhanika was finding a way to get out. Clicking different buttons when she felt Abhimaan's grip on her hand tightening. His loud breathing could be heard. Ruhanika got confused.

She tried asking him. But he was just sweating and taking deep breaths. Suddenly, abhimaan started shivering and he fell with a thud. It clicked Ruhanika ~ he is claustrophobic. He is having a panic attack. And the power cut made the situation worse. Although the lift was big enough for more than 10 people. But still he was feeling trapped.

She immediately got to his level holding him, cupping his face and said "abhimaan...abhimaan look at me".

Abhimaan looked at her. His hair disheveled, sweat drops on his face. Ruhanika wiped his face with her saare. Abhimaan's eyes started dropping. His breath turned shallow. He was getting unconscious. Ruhanika hugged him to her chest. She started rubbing his back mumbling soothing words to him. Abhimaan started mumbling something "do.. don't...leave...leave me....roo..h...rooh...they...they will again...again...try...to" And gulped loudly.

"Yes...yes abhimaan....see i am here na...come...breath... relax... follow my breathing...okay? Come". Saying this Ruhanika hugged him to her chest and started taking deep breaths. Abhimaan mimicked her actions and was getting calm. Her fragrance was giving him a type of peace which he craved at this time. He hugged her more tightly.

Soon the lift also started. Ruhanika looked up and light also came. She again looked at her husband who was still hugging her tightly.

"Abhimaan relax...lift start ho gyi h... please calm down.." she said softly. Abhimaan got up holding her. However his condition was not good. Ruhanika wiped his face with her saare. As soon as the lift opened he walked out with Ruhanika. His breathing was still fast.

Ruhanika turned to the security who looked scared. "What for you all are here? Hann? Can't you even operate a single lift? Do you know what would have happened if it was a little late?" She shouted at them. Before they could say something she again threatened them "don't dare to give any excuse. And don't repeat the same mistake. If anything happens to my abhimaan I will show you who I am".
