Aisha , her name alone melts the coldest hearts, and her bright smile brightens their days. The cheery, bright, and sometimes...
Hey guys! Firstly, a huge thank you for 100+ followers on Wattpad! 🥳 Your love and support mean the world to me, and I never imagined receiving this much encouragement. You all are the reason both I and this book keep moving forward.
I do have a small request—after this chapter, the next one will take a little longer, around a week. With college studies and events piling up, I want to ensure I give my best to the story while balancing my other responsibilities. I hope you all understand.
That's all for now.
Thank you once again! Love you all, my amazing readers! 💖

Arjun walked briskly into the hotel. He hadn't bothered changing his appearance; the late hour meant most people had retreated to their rooms, leaving the lobby deserted. He made his way directly to the room he'd been informed about.
When he knocked on the door to Aisha's hotel room, it was Divyansh who opened it. He leaned against the doorframe, a brow arched in mild surprise. "Why are you here?" he asked.
Arjun didn't respond, merely raised his own brow as if questioning Divyansh's audacity, and walked past him into the room. His gaze swept across the space, immediately taking in everyone present. His eyes searched for one person.
"Where's Aisha?" he demanded, his tone clipped.
Veer, seated casually on the couch, looked up. "She was out for a call," he replied. "She said she'd be back soon, but..." He glanced at his watch. "...it's been longer than we expected."
Arjun stiffened, his jaw clenching as the implications sank in. His sharp eyes turned to the group. "And none of you thought to check on her?" he snapped, his voice like ice. "Do you have any idea who else is staying in this hotel? What if someone took advantage of her being alone?"
A heavy silence fell over the room as realization dawned on everyone. Panic flickered across their faces, and they scrambled to their feet, hurrying toward the door to begin searching for Aisha.
Arjun go behind them. After ten agonizing minutes with no sign of her, he finally pulled out his phone and dialed her number.
It rang just long enough to set his nerves on edge before she picked up. "Aisha? Where are you?" he said, his voice sharp with alarm.
Her response sent a chill through his entire body. "112... Ge-get me..." Aisha's voice was barely audible, broken by ragged gasps for air. "I... I can't... breathe..."
Arjun's heart pounded as he tried to process her words. "Aisha, what's happening? Stay with me!"
"Damn it!" Arjun cursed under his breath. His sharp voice barked orders into the phone. "Keep talking to me, Aisha! I'm coming to you. Tell me exactly where you are!"
