The Blood That Bound Us

THIS STORY IS JUST FOR FUN...JUST FOR LAUGHING AND RELAXING

"One day, I'll run away..." she declared dramatically, stuffing a spoonful of boiled spinach into her mouth like it was poison.

"Far... far away. To the Himalayas."

Bhargav didn't even look up from the medical reports in his hand.

"Try it," he said coolly. "And you'll learn what consequences look like."

Aruni narrowed her eyes.

"Fine. But when I escape, who will you force-feed these horrible vegetables to?"

Silence.

Then she pointed an accusing finger at him.

"Actually... if you make me stay here against my will, I'll take revenge."

That finally earned his attention.

"Revenge?"

A wicked smile spread across her face.

"I'll marry you."

Bhargav froze.

"And then," she continued cheerfully, "for the rest of eternity, I'll make you eat boiled vegetables, drink spinach juice, and follow every single health rule you tortured me with."

She gasped dramatically.

"No sweets. No junk food. No mercy."

For the first time in years, the feared head of the Gangadhar family looked genuinely alarmed.

Aruni folded her arms triumphantly.

"So think carefully, Bhargav sir."

"Let me run away now..."

"Or spend the rest of your life being force-fed healthy food by me."

He stared at the girl who had turned his carefully controlled world into absolute chaos.

Then, slowly, dangerously, he smiled.

"Run away if you can, Aruni."

"Because if I catch you..."

He stepped closer.

"You'll be drinking spinach juice beside me for the rest of eternity."

And for some reason...

the thought didn't sound nearly as terrifying anymore.
