2021-03-14 15:17:45I ran towards the terrace. That sight had already blown my mind. I could hear my heartbeat accelerating crazily. I just wanted all this to be a nightmare.
Shit! I don't want this to happen even in my nightmares.
As soon as I reached there, I found the door of the terrace locked. I tried to push it but it didn't open.
She was not in the condition to lock the gate, then how this door got locked. I pushed it again and again but nothing happened. Time was ticking and I was getting more scared. My palms got sweaty due to nervousness, anxiety, and fear. I couldn't let this happen.
With the little hope left, I pushed the door hardly once more and it opened. But the sight in front of me didn't put me to ease.
She was standing at the edge on the railing of terrace with one of her legs hanging in the air. No, no, no.
"Stop!" I said. She pulled her leg backward and turned towards me. Her eyes held no emotion, she looked lifeless and it killed me seeing her like that. It hurts to see her in that condition. But that was not the time to think all this. All I wanted was to pull her out of danger and the only way out of that situation was to distract her.
"If you want to do this, then take me with you," I said trying to distract her mind. I knew she wasn't thinking properly.
"I don't want to live too."
"You know, what happened to my parents and my sister. I...I was broken." I said and moved towards her a little. I kept moving slowly towards her. With every step, I felt my heart racing faster.
"And then....then you came, like a ray of sunshine. You became the Ember To My Flame. Although I had my friends and my family, but I still felt empty."
"There was this void inside me, but not for long." She was just staring at me without even blinking her eye. Only I knew what was going on inside me seeing her in that condition.
"Do you know who filled that void?" I said and now I was just one step away from her. I took a deep breath and with every ounce of courage left in me took the next step and said,
"You."
With the last step, I pulled her down from the railing. With a sudden jerk, we both fell. She was above me and I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. I held her tightly in my arms securing her.
I am scared even thinking about what would have happened if I had been late for even a second. This was the last time something like this happened and now I swear on my death to protect her always.
I will always protect you muffin. I promise you this my love, my Saavi.

Saavi***********************************I groaned when I heard my alarm went off. I turned it off and covered my face with the duvet. I hate school. There is nothing good about going to school. Not for everyone, but for me school is the worst place to go. But still, I have to, as I want to become a painter and I can't join a college without completing my school. I hate the education system.After a lot of thought, I got up from bed as I don't have any choice. I did my morning chores, took a quick shower, and got ready in my school uniform. I made my way to the kitchen but there was nothing to eat. Looks like I will have to go to school without having breakfast, again. This is the third time this week when I am skipping breakfast. But that's not my fault, I don't have money to buy food.I took my bag and went out and locked the gates. It's 6 in the morning and as usual, I will have to walk to school which is a one-hour walk.I guess it's good, tha

Dhruv************"Next", I said.Namit brought another guy holding his collar."His name is Jai and the reason, well it's the same, it was all for fun," he said pushing Jai in front of me.My blood boiled hearing the same thing, that he did it for fun."Send the picture of him smoking, to his father. I am sure he will like it." Namit smirked and took out his phone.Jai fell on his knees in front of me and started pleading,"Please don't do this. He will kill me if he gets to know that.""And why should I listen to you?""I will never bother her I promise.""As if you have a choice," I said gritting my teeth. I was controlling myself not to hurt anyone but now I was losing control."I will...I will do anything you want. Please just don't send those pictures to my father.""You will do anything?"

Dhruv**********"Seriously dude, Maths tuition? I mean all you got was this excuse?" yelled Arjun in a disappointed tone."Shut up Arjun! I think he did the right thing." Namit said to him."Yeah, I think so too." Riddhi too agreed with Namit."I agree with Arjun. It's the worst excuse. They don't even show this in movies nowadays." It was Rohit.I told my friends about how I approached Saavi. Riddhi and Namit have been supporting me but according to Rohit and Arjun, this was a bad idea. But that's the only thing which came to mind at that time."Guys, let me do this my way, and if anything happens I know you all got my back, right?""Always." they all said in unison."So, you told her you will see her in the evening, then why the hell are you here right now?" Arjun asked."I don't want to look desperate," I replied rubbing the nape of my neck. Although I was more than desperate, yet was sure she

Dhruv******I was engrossed in looking at the news article posted on the business world website but my mind was not there as it had lost its peace. I had been aloof and had become gloomy from the last two days.I wasn't in favour of the idea but I had no option, instead of rebuking muffin. She had been not taking care of her health. If not for her gynecologist I would have never known she was suffering from PCOD.I was furious at her for not sharing the important information with me but what made me angrier was she was still not giving up on fast food. I went to pick her up from the college two days ago and found a burger in her hand. She was instructed by the gynecologist to avoid junk food but she didn't pay heed to her advice.We argued, had a little fight to be precise and I had to stop talking to her to make her realize she was at fault.

The devils are gone and I assure you that I will never let the darkness reach you. I will always shield you through my light. Though, I want you to stand beside me and fight your own battles just like you have always done. Because you, my love, is a warrior, my warrior queen." I confessed before kissing her forehead.With my one slight movement muffin's sleep was disrupted. She opened her eyes slowly rubbing them with her right hand.

Dhruv had already disabled the CCTV of the house and handled the security team so there was nothing to worry about.Both Arjun and Kiaan first climbed up. They went inside the room whose window was open. Surbhi had clearly told them about the house's rooms and directions. To start their plan the first thing they had to do was to find Shanvi's room.It didn't take much effort and time of theirs as the colour of her room's entrance door was off white while others were brown.
