A young woman kneels on a deserted road in the pouring rain, far from the city. The sky shrouds in dark clouds, and strong, cold breezes trembles the timber. The sounds of harsh winds, thunder, and lightning makes the scene even more desolate. With each raindrop hitting the ground, the girl's tears mix in. Her deep red eyes vividly express her pain and an overwhelming desire to escape. When a desperate scream echoes through the air.

"Mahadev! kyunnn!! Kyun har koi mujhe shod kar chala jata hai!"

("God! Why everyone leaves me!")

The voice reverberates through the woods.

"Kyun kisi ko meri zindagi mein bhejte ho jab unhein chheena hi hota hai!kyunn..Aakhir kitni pareeksha loge meriiii!"

("Why do you send them into my life only to snatch them back! Whyy...how long you would test me")

She is now wailing, her wrist is bleeding, as the blood mixes with the rainwater making a red zone around her body. Her white dress is stained crimson. Once the eyes filled with sorrow, is burning with intensity, staring at the wide sky. It seems as though the grief and numbness in her eyes has transformed into a into a fiery rage. A fire that threatens to consume EVERYTHING!

Piercing the challenging gales, a car's horn blares in the distance. The headlights casts an eerie glow on the girl's figure when a black Porsche appears in the sight. The screech of tires fills the air as the vehicle comes to a sudden stop.

Weather mirrors a deep grief today. Visibility dwindling to see anything with each passing second. She struggles to catch the glance, when a figure runs before her and fell on knees. Through the unsettling darkness, two sharp eyes, barely holding any emotion, is continuously staring at her. Her condition is unbearable and with her final counts, her eyes begins to shut slowly. Another thundering spark roared in the sky when the figure illuminates in the darkness and immediately comes to a movement. A pair of strong arms lifts her fragile body from the ground, carrying her swiftly towards the waiting car.

In the bustling hospital of Manali the focus shifts to the ICU on the 6th floor. Surrounded by machines, the room echoes with the beeping of monitors. Her breaths grow labored beneath the oxygen mask, her once beautiful face is drained of color. Bandages covering her wrist and minor injuries on the body, the sound of each drop dripping from the IV drip is matching the rapid thumping of her heart. Suddenly, the door swings open with a strange sound and a similar shadowy figure approaches.

Black leather shoes, diamond Rolex on wrist, glinting from beneath the rolled up cuffs of his slightly damp black shirt, his steps extending towards her. The aura of screaming power surrounding him as the air crackles with thick gravity. The footsteps clicks to silent the non chalance around, and he sits next to her. Observing her shallow breaths, his gentle fingers brushes a stray lock of her hair. As soon as she feels a strange cold touch on her forehead, her racing heartbeats finally seems to come to rest.

While those dark grey orbs, that carried a dangerous stillness earlier, might have got some moisture as he finally whispers,
"Get well soon jaana, my eyes can't bare you sleeping here like this.
You. are. not. going to leave me this easily."

*a deep sigh*

"I am back!" With a firm yet tender look, he states.

Wheather she was hearing or not, the shivering of her body even in her unconscious state, comes up like a sign that she is well aware of everything he just said.

Breaking the sterile silence, a phone buzzes inside his pockets. Clearly ignoring it momentarily, he gently places a soft kiss by the IV.. drip before making his way to the balcony.

He drives out his phone and,
"B... boss...woh," the person tries to speak from the other end of call.

His jaw clenches, making an effort to speak as low as he could, "Just spit out the damn thing!" he said.

"Boss madam's father is being murdered, but someone's trying so hard to frame this a suicide case." Trying to steady his trembling voice, the person rushed out.

*Beap*

He cuts the call without a single word, casting a lingering gaze at her before closing his eyes.
