Pragati POV

.

.

Today is Vyom's Birthday, I am thinking to give to surprise by calling his name. Oh, I forgot to mention that Vyom is the name of that devil who forcefully married me and has locked me in this cage. Every time I try to run from here, he brings me back to this cage, so this time I will ask him to let me go outside this place for a day at least. 

I have lost all my hope that I can run away from the devil without his wish. Because I have already tried all the things which I can, I tried to pretend that I am in love with him and so that he would turn into a lovesick puppy, but he figured it out. I tried to kill him but gain he figured it out. And what happened next is something I don't want to discuss right now. 

.

.

He says that he loves me, and I think he does if I will request in front of him then he will surely listen to me. Well, I hope so.

.

.

"Someone has messed with the security cameras. I want everyone to look for that girl.", I read his lips when he was speaking to the Faizal, 3rd commander of the organization and younger brother of Arbaaz Bhai. "And where is your brother? Find him as well."

.

Once Faizal left, Vyom walked toward me, and I moved backward in fear. Even though I know that he won't harm me, but I can't stop myself from getting scared of the person who he is outside our bedroom.

He touched my hair when he finally came close to me, and I could not move backward because of the stupid wall. I lowered my eyes, staring at his black polished shoe.

He lifted my face and kissed me softly, holding me in his arm.

.

.

"I am leaving to check a few things. By the time I will come back, stay here, don't leave.", I looked at his lips when he was speaking. I nodded in his arms. I will leave this time with his permission that another thing I don't know what will be his answer on it?

Sometimes I really wished that he wasn't my enemy.

.

.

After an hour, I saw the main door of my home suddenly pushed open. A man came to grab my hands and said, "Come, I will take you away."

.

Please don't ask me how did I hear that? Well, I can read lips, remember?

.

"You?", It took me a few seconds to recognize that man. OMG, he is Aarvik. My ummm...kind of an Elder brother. We never had an amazing bond because he was always busy with himself when mom and dad adopted him. But he always used to care for me silently.

.

I glanced at the door and saw 3 bodyguards were lying on the ground. Seeing him pulling me out, I tried to break free from my hands and said firmly.

.

"Aar...Aarvik, I can't go. He won't let me go. I will take his permission before leaving"

.

"Pragati, don't be afraid of him. I can protect you. And as much as I know him, he won't let you go. The things which belong to him which includes you as well.", He said. "Pravi told me that how many times when you tried to escape but he caged you again and again.", saying this he dragged my hands to the door, regardless of my resistance.

.

Who is Pravi? Well, I will ask about that later.

.

"Leave me alone, Aarvik.", I held the door and looked at him.

.

"Like seriously? Are you going to leave your whole life in this cage? Out there mom is waiting for you. We have now a little baby sister as well. She will be so happy to meet you.", Aarvik was infuriated and shouted at me. "And you are the only way because of which my relationship with mom will get better."

.

Why didn't he mention Dad?

.

"Dad?", I said, or more like asked only one thing.

.

"He is no more.", Aarvik said in a void tone. He took my hands and held the door opened. Different from that gentleman that he was a moment before,  he was strong enough to drag me down the stairs. I was unwilling to live my life in a dark and tiresome cell. 

.

I know Vyom's Personality, he would carry me back even if I fled away to the remotest corner. There was no way out.

When I saw the guards running toward us. "Aarvik...", I called his name in tension because I really don't want him to get beaten by them badly. But halfway down, several guards wanted to hit him with an iron bar, and he avoided them swiftly. I can tell by his moves that he is trained in all this.

.

'These guards might have informed to HIM till now.'. I thought and shiver with the thought of punishment that Aarvik will get.

.

The guards took the chance to get him when I pulled Aarvik away. They attacked his arms as he held me.

Watching the coming bar, Aarvik hesitated a second but didn't let go of my hands. When he was hit, he groaned in pain and his hand holding me lost its strength. I lost my balance at the time, and I managed to break free of his grip. Missing a step, I rolled down the stairs.

.

.

Aarvik grabbed my hands and kept apologizing, I think by that time he might have kicked everyone's ass.

.

"Aarvik, you'd better hide or go. Do whatever you want but leave.", I told him. By the time Vyom got there, he would not let Aarvik go easily.

Possibly, he would kill Aarvik.

.

"Go quickly, the further, the better.", I pushed him, ignoring the pain which I was feeling right then. Sharp pain in my ankle, and the pain which I was feeling in the lower part of the body. Tears welled up in my eyes but it was too late for regrets.

.

.

I was positive that he will let me go outside this organization if I break him the news of my pregnancy.

I was positive that I can't run away this time at this stage.

.

.

"Please go", I cried, and then I felt his presence without looking at him.

Vyom....He is here.

.

.

I turned my eyes and saw Vyom clench his fists tightly and point to the bodyguard; I realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Vyom", I called his name for the first time and I can see the shock, surprise, and....pain in his eyes. "No", I said, pointing toward the Aarvik.

.

.

Vyom walked toward me, but Aarvik stood close to my body protectively.

.

"Let me see my WIFE if you want that kiddo in one piece.", Vyom said in a cold tone, and in a second, a few of the guards brought that same teenage girl whom I had saved from Arbaaz Bhai, holding her hairs. She was sobbing and along with her, few guards brought a man who was beaten up badly and blood was oozing from his face and body."

.

By Aarvik's expression, anyone can guess that he knows both of them.

.

"What did you think? I can't catch them?", Vyom asked with a smirked on his face. "This is my area and I am the boss of this place."

.

I don't know what Aarvik said because my eyes were on Vyom. So, I couldn't read his lips.

.

"You are not in the position to order me.", Vyom roared in anger and "Now, leave me the way". Thankfully, Aarvik did what Vyom said without making the situation more difficult as it was already before.

.

.

A few Hours Later ,

.

.

"Doctor, is my wife seriously hurt?", Vyom asked, and he seems really worried.

.

I could not hold my tears anymore, but I knew the truth is coming soon. I was eager to hug and kiss him. I had never felt so vulnerable and expected his comfort.

.

"The sprained ankle is not serious, it is ok if she does not use it for a month."

.

"Thank you.", Vyom said, and I can see the surprised look on the doctor's face.

.

"But...", The doctor continued. "There is moderate bleeding in the lower part of the body, she may have lost a child."

.

"What do you say?", Vyom asked, surprised. He immediately walked out of the room. I think to ask the details of the incident from the guards. Wow. I am surprised to say but I know him that well. After 10-15 mins, he came back, his expression has been changed He was enraged.

.

"Guards said that he intended to take you away. Because of him, our baby died."

.

"No," I spoke for the second time in front of him. "Vyom, it's my fault, not his! I promise that it won't happen again, and I won't leave you, never.", His eyes, his eyes show pain. "We can have another baby."

.

.

He ducked and sneered, "Don't let me see you again."

"Vyom", In a panic, I dragged my painful feet to climb off the bed and tried to grab his arm, but he stepped back.

.

"You are free to go from here with your so-called boyfriend."

.

"He-He is not my....", I tried to explain myself. I can't believe that I am doing this in front of that person who I hate the most.

.

"Do you know him? Just Answer in Yes & No."

.

"Vyom..listen...."

.

"Yes OR No", He threw the vase, which was near the table and. I really pissed him. I nodded in YES. "Do you know him before you were brought here? YES or NO?", I again nodded in Yes. He is like my brother then it is obvious that I would know him. I wanted to scream at his face.

.

"Do you love him?", He asked I again tried to speak but he cut me off. "YES or NO"

.

I nodded in YES. I love him in a brotherly way.

.

"I thought that you were different, but I forgot about your background. I had purchased you from the red-light area. Soon or later, whore like you would have surely shown their true color, isn't it?" He drily laughed.

.

.

And then, hold my arm harshly and started dragging me, god knows where? He didn't even care that I am in pain. I keep staring at his face. I can't believe the day which I always wanted to come i.e. when I will actually be free from this cage will come. But I was not feeling about him. It made me feel that I had started loving this cage.

.

.

He pushed me away, and two arms collected me before I could have fallen down. I know that belongs to my brother.

Struck by physical pain and mental shock, I could bear it no longer and fainted in his arms. I finally understood that the most intolerable thing in a relationship was cheating. Without trust, our relationship was so vulnerable!
