11 parts Ongoing Suddenly, a bike bears down on me, its horn blaring.
A stranger's swift pull saves me from harm. I tremble, eyes shut, anticipating the worst. But as I open them, I find myself in his warm, reassuring embrace.
His steady heartbeat - "thud, thud, thud" - calms my racing thoughts.
Our gazes lock, time standing still. The world around us fades into the background.
"Your eyes are breathtakingly beautiful," I whisper, lost in their depths.
He smiles faintly, his lips grazing my ear. "Thanks, dear."

I was shocked to death when I saw him. I froze, unable to speak or move.
He smiled and put out his hand for a handshake. But I couldn't respond.
I quickly picked up my bag and left the cabin, tears streaming down my face.
I tried to call Sanjiv, but he didn't answer. Someone grabbed me and dragged me towards the stairs. I struggled to free myself, but it was no use.
As I stood between the two arms, I shouted,
"Leave.me.alone.Naksh". His face was inches from mine, his warm breath on my skin.
He moved closer to me, whispering in my ear,
"Don't cry, my little girl".
