"Nilay".

A low voice escaped from her mouth as she intensely stared at him.

Her mind was in emotional distress, her body was exhausted and devilish rage was fighting with her inner self.

Suddenly, her red eyes softened which caused his heart to thump unknowingly at her look.

Sunaina was experiencing a strong emotional reaction. Her mind was clouded with sadness, frustration, and a mix of emotions.

Her red eyes stared at him while battling the inner devil that urged her to kill everyone and burn the entire world around her.

Her Angel broke her heart today with a single word- 'Out'.

"Kya kami hai mujhme? Kya kami hai jo mere pyar ko dekh nahi pate ho?". [What is lacking in me? What is missing that you are not able to see my love?]

Sunaina asked as she quickly blinked to calm her burning eyes.

Nilay's nose flared up as he clenched and unclenched his fist, "Love? You love me. But I don't love you. How can I love you? How can you love me? How much do we know about each other? Who am I, you don't even know what my identity is. Who are you? I don't know anything about you. Who knows how much truth and how much lies you have told me?".

Sunaina's eyes locked onto his deep brown orbs, in which she could see her reflection.

"Main to janta bhi nahi ki tumhari pasand kya hai? Tumhara background kya - -" [I don't even know what you like. What your background - -"], Nilay was speaking but Sunaina disrupted him as she said in a soft tone, "Meri pasand tum ho" [You are my choice]

Nilay's mind was reeling from her words. He took a deep breath.

Sunaina again said, "Aur pyar background dekh kar nahi kiya jata. Mujhe tumse pyar ush waqt hua jab maine tumhe pehli bar dekha. Lekin mujhe hazaron dafa dekhne ke bad bhi tumhe pyar nahi hua".

[And love happens without looking at the background. I loved you when I saw you for the first time. But you don't love me even after seeing me thousands of times]

Nilay stared at her and tried to calm himself as he asked her in a soft voice, "What's your real name?".

Sunaina's eyes widened slightly as her lips curved slightly upward and a cold glint danced in her eyes, "Why? Don't you like this name- 'Divita'".

The anger he was trying to calm down, Sunaina added fuel to the fire of anger.

"Out now. I don't want your presence around me", Nilay said coldly as his voice was loud enough to shake the walls of the house.

Sunaina heard a loud crack inside her chest as she stared at him with eyes that were red and bloodshot.

Nilay turned his back on her, and she remained glued to her spot, watching him intently.

"Sunaina", Sunaina said and Nilay frowned deeply but did not turn around to look at her.

"My name is Sunaina. My people call me Naina but you can call me, 'Dil' (heart)", Sunaina said in a shivering voice, and at the last word, she laughed softly.

Nilay still did not look back as he could not look at her tearful stare. Her words were enough to make him uncomfortable and it was unbearable.

She moved towards him, standing close enough to inhale his scent and feel his body heat.

Nilay stiffened as he could feel her closeness behind him.

"Tumhe chahne ke alawa, mere pass aur kuch nahi hai, Nilay. Meri duniya tum ho. Meri subah aur shaam tum ho" [I have nothing else but to love you, Nilay. You are my world. You are my morning and you are my evening].

Nilay gritted his teeth as he did not want to hear a single word from her mouth. Her voice was irritating him and scratching his heart.

Sunaina wrapped her arms around him and kissed his back and before Nilay could react, she stepped away from him.

She took a few steps back while staring at him.

Suddenly, her eyes changed and a killing, deadly aura oozed out of her.

"Mark my word. You are Mine. You belong to me. You are a part of my existence and soon, I will paint every inch of your body with the colors of my love. If anyone dares to come in between us, I will kill that person. If you can't love me. It's okay. But you are not allowed to love anyone else either".

Sunaina thought as she took a last look at Nilay, then turned around and left Nilay's house.

She walked outside and came to the main street. T-Rex who was hidden in the shadow came out and started following her quietly.

Sunaina walked and continued to walk aimlessly. Her heart was aching and the pain of a broken heart coagulated and surged into her mind.

Sunaina stopped abruptly sat down on the road and then busted into hot tears.

She wailed like a child while hitting her chest. Tears were streaming down on her cheeks and snorts were all over her face.

"Aah! It's hurting. It's hurting more than the real wounds. What should I do now? My man rejected my love. Aah; my life is miserable. Tell me, how can I show my face to my people? They will laugh at me", Sunaina wailed and complained while sitting on the road.

"Princess!", T-Rex said in plain tone as he looked at her disorderly behavior.

Sunaina cried as she looked at him with red eyes and said, "Maine usey manga. Par wo nahi mila. Aur jo Naina ko nahi milta, Naina usey chinn leti hai".

[I want him. But I could not get him. And whatever Naina doesn't get, Naina takes it]

The cold familiar devilish glint again appeared in her eyes as she sniffed and forwarded her hand towards T-Rex.

T-Rex looked at her small hand and handed her favorite gun to her.

Sunaina traced the curves of the gun and then kissed the nozzle.

While tilting her head, her gaze bore into the darkness and then she said, "Let's play a game, little mouse. This big cat will love to play with you".

Her puzzle words could confuse anyone but not her brother and her subordinates and T-Rex was her best and favorite wingman who got it about whom his devil princess was talking about.

On the other hand, Nilay whose knees wobbled as he took the support of the wall. His heart was beating violently and his breathing stuck into his chest.

An acute pain brimmed over his body. He closed his eyes while his mind was reeling back to back Sunaina's love confessions.

"It was the eleventh time when you talked nonsensically to me", Nilay thought.

Nilay could not pinpoint his life turned upside down. He used words like nonsensical talk instead of love confession. Nilay remembered every word and counted the time she confessed to him.

"I have heard that the number eleven is auspicious. Because it's an odd number that can't be suited perfectly to an odd person like me", Nilay murmured as his eyes caught the sight of the room.

His eyes widened as he realized something. He instantly ran out of the room while calling her loudly, "Divita?".

Suddenly, his steps halted and his heart accelerated wildly as he remembered her words. He shook her head negatively.

"Su - Sunaina", Nilay called her real name this time. Her name rolled onto his tongue and melted in his mouth like cotton candy. He searched for her in the whole house.

"Sunaina!", Nilay called her numerous times but Sunaina was not in the house.

Nilay ran out of the house and searched for her but couldn't find her. He ran as fast as he could to search for her.

Standing on the main street, there was no sight of her.

She left.

Sunaina left Nilay in his black-and-white world. Nilay's heart stopped as he replayed what conversation they had just now. He understood that she misunderstood his words.

"I did not tell you to leave the house. I just told you to leave me alone but you left. You left like this?", Nilay said as his eyes looked straight at the running vehicles and the twinkling lights.

Back to the BASE, Avyaan's head buzzed as he tried numerous times to win this task but he was failing again and again.

Kian wiped his sweaty forehead and asked, "King! What's the problem?"

Kian found Avyaan had been working on his laptop impatiently since morning.

Avyaan lifted his head and looked at his right-hand man and said, "This is her number. Tell me why I am not able to hack this number?".

Kian choked his saliva as he blinked his eyes as if he heard something wrong, "King is trying to hack Miss Tarana's number but failing?".

"Umm! King! Let me try for once", Kian said but met with the furious eyes of Satan.

It was not the first time when Avyaan tried to hack Tarana's phone. He did it when he returned from the woods but the result was the same.

He failed, not once but numerous times.

"Let's go see omelet boy", Avyaan stood up from his seat and walked out of the office while speaking to his subordinates.

Kian stood there confusedly as he glanced at the other members of the Scorpion Satan who shook their heads negatively.

At Diamond Street, Returning to his home, Omy caught the ominous black color car in his neighborhood. He immediately glanced at the house of Tarana who had a big lock dangling on the door.

Omy did not know why but he did not like Avyaan and the oppressing aura that made him uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath and found Avyaan walking towards him. He stood still on his spot and the next moment, he faced the devil whose serpent-like eyes again quickened the pace of his heart.

"What now?", Omy asked directly and Avyaan stared at his face for a second and then shot a question at him too.

"What's her phone number?", Avyaan spoke and Omy immediately understood that the man who was standing in front of him in all his glorious aura was asking about Tarana.

"I already gave it to you in our previous meeting", Omy said and Avyaan said again, "Then why am I unable to - -" and suddenly stopped.

He pursed his lips tightly and Omy frowned slightly at Avyaan's incomplete sentence.

"What's her phone model?", Avyaan asked him calmly.

"Why should I tell you?", Omy said arrogantly but Avyaan did not lose his temper as he stood patiently before Omy.

But Kian lost his composer and immediately withdrew his gun out of his pocket aimed at Omy's forehead and said in an icy tone, "Do not want to die, right now, right here?".

Omy's eyes widened as wide as soccer. Avyaan signaled Kian not to make a move.

Avyaan's attention shifted back on Omy whose eyes were still wide and were gaping like a fish.

"Look! You have not seen my real face. You don't get to know my real identity. And I wouldn't even want you to know me and see my real face", Avyaan's words were straight and full of threatening.

"Tara! I don't know about the model number and name", Omy said and looked at the cold face of Avyaan as he continued to speak, "but I know that Tara is using her mother's twenty-year-old dumb phone. That's why she used my smartphone when she was with you in the hut house in the woods".

Avyaan's mind turned foggy at Omy's revelation.
