In a luxurious hotel suite, shrouded in darkness, a young girl lay unconscious on the king-sized bed. The only sound was the soft ticking of the clock, striking 4:00 a.m. The girl stirred, her body slowly regaining consciousness. As she struggled to open her eyes, a romantic song began to play, filling the room with its melodious tune.

The girl's eyes fluttered open, and she sat up on the bed, disoriented. She looked around, trying to remember how she ended up there. Her gaze fell upon a Bluetooth speaker, and she wondered,

"Ye...ye mai kah...an hu?"
("Where...where am I?")

As she tried to recall the events leading up to her unconsciousness, her eyes closed, and the memories played out like a movie in her mind. She cried out,

"VEERRRR.."

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence,

"Ishqi Darling tum uth gayi."
("Ishqi, darling, you're awake.")

Ishqi's eyes scanned the room, but she found no one. The voice seemed to come from nowhere.

"Are darling mai yahan nahi hu tum mujhe dhund nahi paogi."

("Don't worry, darling, I'm not here, and you won't be able to find me.")

Ishqi's fear and anger mingled in her voice as she demanded,

"Kaun...kaun hai ap? Aur mujhe aise kidnap karke kyu laye hain?"

("Who...who are you? And why have you kidnapped me?")

The kidnapper's voice echoed through the room,

"Are darling mujhe janne ki itni talab...ohh dekh kar hi dil ko sukun mil raha hai."

("Don't worry, darling, I'm thrilled to finally have you...just seeing you brings peace to my heart.")

Ishqi's anger flared up,

"Ap kaun hai aur bar bar ye kya Darling Darling bole ja rahe hai mujhe...mai sadi suda hu."

("Who are you and why do you keep calling me 'darling'? I'm a married woman.")

The kidnapper's laughter sent shivers down Ishqi's spine.

"Darling uss sadi ko bhul jao kyuki bohut jaldi hamari Sadi hone wali hai."

("Darling, forget about that marriage...our wedding will happen soon.")

Ishqi's discomfort grew, but she refused to show her fear.

"Tu jo koi bhi hai muh samhal ke bat kar...tujhe pata nahi hai ki mai kaun hu aur mera pati kaun hai...ek bar uske hat gaya na tu to..."

("Whoever you are, speak respectfully...you don't know who I am or who my husband is...if he finds out, you'll regret it...")

The kidnapper cut her off, his tone menacing.

"Are are kitni bolti ho tum...aur age se mere samne kisi aur ko pati bolne ki himmat kabhi mat karna Darling warna tumhe bhi pata nahi ki mai kya kya kar sakta hu."

("Don't talk so much...and never dare mention another man as your husband in front of me, darling...or you'll see what I'm capable of.")

Ishqi's sarcasm dripped like venom.

"Huhhh tune mujhe soch kya rakha hai be? Mai koi aisi waisi ladki nahi hu, Hukum ki Rani Sa hu, samja?"

("What do you think of me? I'm not just any ordinary girl, I'm the Queen of Hukum, understand?")
