The person was none other was Sameer, the moment they both saw each other, the whole world stopped for them and they kept looking into each other's but eventually realising that he was her enemy, Naina kicked his abdomen and freeing herself ran back to the other side of the room all ready to attack him again.

Naina - ( *dangerously* ) Who are you?

Sameer - ( *Smirking* ) Mujhe lagta hai yeh mujhe poochna chahiye tha
So, ho kaun tum? Am sure jasoosi karne hi ayi thi yaha pe so, getting straight to the point, who do you work for?

Though Sameer's deep voice was causing tingles to erupt inside Naina's heart but she was refusing to let her guards down. At the moment he was just an enemy to her and defeating him was of utmost priority to her.

Naina - I. Said. I. Don't. Work. For. Anyone. ( *gritting her teeth* )

Sameer - ( *smirking* ) So naive, tumhe kya laga ki tum yeh bologi aur main maan jaunga?

Naina - ( *screamed* ) I am saying the truth you jerk!

Screaming she ran towards Sameer to hit him and jumping midway, she kicked his torso roughly pushing him back but falling down in the process

Sameer - ( *lowly* ) Strong! I like that!

Naina - What the fu*k do you want? Maine kaha ki main galti se agayi yaha pe I don't work for anyone

Sameer - Aur tumhe lagta hai ki main tumhari baato par bharosa kar lunga? You don't know who I am and I am not going to spare you and make a fool out of myself

Naina - You are such a self-obsessed jerk!

Sameer's eyes darkened on hearing this and immediately fisting the back of her collar picked her up and slammed her against the wall keeping in mind not to hurt her though. Naina squealed in fear for a moment but was quick enough to hide the emotion behind a mask of bravery.
Sameer locking her between his arms and the wall, said,

Sameer - ( lowered to her height and said her dangerously ) Nobody dares to disrespect me. Understand?

Naina - ( *avoiding to look at him* )

Sameer - You obviously don't know who I am but now you will.

Naina's P.O.V

I looked up the moment he said this
"What do you mean?"

"I said you will know and I don't like to repeat myself clear? And you won't like what's going to happen now so better just give me the information I need and I will set you free." He said

How many times must I say him that I don't know what he is talking about? This dumb head is driving me insane! And if it goes on like this am sure of chopping off his head one day!

"I-I don't work for anyone, mu-mujhe sach mein nahi pata how I ended up here"

I said trying to look into his intense eyes without breaking down. Though he was extremely angry at the moment, I could see something in his eyes apart from anger, maybe pain? Sadness? Or REGRET?

"Mujhe lagta hai tum aise nahi bologi, you don't know with whom you have messed up"

He said in a low yet dangerous tone and even before I could realise what he meant by that, I was dragged out out of the room, into a strange and cold prison.
Something was definitely so different, so wrong with the whole place.

• ───────•••─────── •

After Naina was dragged into the prison, Sameer stood still on his place, with his hands still fisted and his eyes closed.

Pandit - ( *coming from behind* ) Sense of regression? Pehli baar dekha hai Sameer Maheshwari ko koi baat regret karte huye. Par jab kisi aur ko koi saza hone par tujhe aaj tak koi farq nahi pada hai fir yeh achanak aaj tujhe farq kyun pad raha hai?

Sameer - ( *turned around* ) Mujhe is baare mein koi baat nahi karni toh behtar hoga ki tu bhi ye baat wapas mere samne kabhi na kahe.
( *was about to walk out* )

Pandit - Ek minute Sameer! Tu maan ya na maan kuch toh hai jis ki wajah se tujhe us ladki ke liye bura lag raha hai, jiski wajah uska dard tu bhi feel kar pa raha hai.

Just then something stroke his mind and his eyes instantly lit up

Pandit - Aree! Yeh maine socha kyun nahi? Sameer sach sach bol she us your mate right?! Don't dare to lie

Sameer - I said I don't want to discuss anything about this

Pandit - Par tujhe karna padega. Tujhe mere sawal ka jawab dena hoga
Bol is she the one?

Sameer - Maine kaha na...

Pandit - ( *interrupting him and raising his voice* ) Sameer Maheshwari is she the ONE?

Finally loosing his control Sameer snapped.

Sameer - HAAN HAI WO! Yes she is the Luna

Pandit - Aur tune use cell mein bhej diya?

Sameer - Aur koi raasta nahi tha

Pandit - Are you out of your damn mind? Sameer she is your would be wife and our future Queen aur tu use aise treat nahi kar sakta

Sameer - Main kar sakta hun! Besides she is nothing to me, atleast not till I find out who she is

Pandit - ( *raising his voice* ) PAR TU GALAT KAR RAHA HAI!

Sameer - DAMARE BAKA! ( Japanese : Shut up idiot ) I AM NEVER WRONG!

Declaring this, Sameer left the the place not casting anyone even a single glance.
Though somewhere he was feeling some kind of emotions for her but he wasn't being able to accept them.
Sighing, Pandit kept looking at the retreating figure of his elder brother and once he was out of sight, taking out a picture from his pocket smiled seeing it.

Pandit - Sameer poora badal gaya hai. Aur pata nahi why is he acting like a fool. I have no idea ki wo ab kya karega. Only you can control him and advice him that he needs to accept his mistake.

Sighing again he too left the place, after which complete silence fell, it was so silent that even the ticking of the clock was easily audible. This silence was quite normal in the palace given that, the owner of the palace himself was a nightmare.

The guards had already handcuffed Naina and were taking her to the prison. They had captured her in silver handcuffs, but for some unknown reasons her wrists were giving her a slight burning sensation as if they had applied any chemical on it.

Guard 1 - ( *stopping infront of a gate* ) Get inside! Aaj se tum yahi rahogi jab tak tumhe release karne ke orders nahi aa jate

Naina - Fine! Par yeh smell kya hai?

Guard 2 - Maybe the prisoners, nahaye nahi hai wo log bahut dino se

Gaurd 3 - Or a dead mouse?

Guard 4 - It's the smell of the dead bodies rotting in these cells

Guard 1 - Right! Aur agar tumne apni chonch band nahi kari abhi then wohi dead bodies khila denge tumhe

Naina - Oh look! It just got worse

Guard 1 - This is nothing

Naina - But am a vegetarian

Guard 1 - ( *Smirking* ) Won't remain for long

Naina - ( *rolls her eyes* ) Whatever!

Guard 1 - ( *chuckles* ) Enjoy your stay here miss

Naina - Oh I surely would if your so-called owner wouldn't order you guys to chop me down into little pieces

Guard 1 - Lagta hai already jaanti ho hum kya karne wale hain. Good for you
( *shoving her into the cell* ) Just give us the information we want aur fir free ho jaogi tum ( *locking the cell's door* )

Naina - Oh really? Agar main tum logo ko wo non-existent information de dun toh mujhe chhodd doge? ( *in a sarcastic tone* ) How generous of you guys!

Guard 1 - ( *sighing* ) You don't even know ki tumhare saath kya kya hone wala hai

After saying this the guard along with the other guards turned around and left the place.

At the moment Naina's feelings were in a mess. Walking to a corner of the gloomy room, and leaning against the wall, she buried her face into her palms and sulked down.

Naina - Yeh kya ho raha hai? Kyun ho raha hai? Kaha hun main? Kaun hain yeh log? Kuch samajh nahi araha hai. Kya karu?

Though Naina knew that she wouldn't get any network in such a place, she still took out her phone and tried searching for network. But nothing worked.

Naina - Network nahi hai kuch nahi hai is jagah par. Aur ek toh yeh jagah pata nahi duniya ke kis kone main hai aur itni security hai ki lagta bhi nahi koi kabhi dhund bhi paega mujhe.

Feeling defeated Naina just groaned and punching the wall in the anger laid down to atleast sleep and pray for everything she was experiencing at the moment to be just a dream.
