It was evening and everyone was in the living room sitting and chatting except Ryker who was working in his room. Urvashi's gaze were wandering to the stairs again and again trying to get Ryker's glimpse but didn't get one. She was biting her lips anxiously because she wanted to catch his attention as soon as possible. She didn't want a handsome man like him to get out of her hold. As Arjun was laughing with with Dadi and Thakurain his gaze went to Urvashi and he noticed her looking at the stairs. He grinned and scooted a little closer and whispered in her ear. "Kisi ko dhoond rahi ho?" He asked playfully immediately catching her off guard. (Translation: Are you looking for someone?) "Kya? N-nahi to." Urvashi stammered out feeling nervous and immediately denied with his words. (Translation: What? N-no.)"Jo tum soch rahi ho use bhool jao kyu ki wo tumhare liye nahi bana hai." Arjun said with little seriousness because he was concerned for his sister knowing how Ryker was. (Trans
As soon as Arjun registered her words he immediately burst out in the fits of laughter. He didn't expect those words from her but Inaayat has never met the people from the outside of the haveli. She had always seen familiar faces and when she saw Ryker's eyes she was stunned to see his blue eyes because she has always seen a person with different shades of brown eyes. "Haan Inu sahi kaha tumne." Arjun said agreeing with her and smiled at her innocence. Ryker raised his brow at him. (Translation: Yes Inu, you are right.) "Ryker she is Inu I mean Inaayat. I used to play with her in my childhood. She is my best friend, right Inu?" Arjun said introducing Inaayat to Ryker earning a nod from him. Inaayat's brows crashed automatically when she heard Arjun talking in some different language which she didn't understand even a bit so she silently sat there with her fingers fidgeting with each other. "Inu tum ho na meri dost?" Arjun asked her again understanding she didn't get his w
By that time the elders of the haveli started waking up but were still in their rooms doing their morning routine. Inaayat started to clean the rooms of family members starting with Dadi's room. Dadi was bathing with a maid helping her due to her being old and weak. Then she went clean Thakur and Thakurain's master bedroom. She knocked and the door got opened by the Thakurain herself. The shower was running that meant Ranvijay was in the shower. Thakurain opened the door wide for Inaayat and she entered inside with her scared and small steps. Without raising her head for even a second she started dusting and cleaning the room. She could feel Thakurain's heated gaze at the back of her head but didn't have courage to look at her. With her trembling hands she cleaned the room as soon as possible. She picked the bucket and broom to leave the room but Thakurain's voice stopped her dead in her tracks. "Sun ladki!" Thakurain called her and she stood frozen at her place. (Translation:
He stopped right behind her trembling form who was looking at the gun which was underlying the pillow. She started to scoot more back but stopped when she felt his feet touching her. She froze right at her place while he thought she was being scared of the gun. He bent down and held her shoulders feeling her trembling form beneath his palm. She flinched but stood rooted at her place. He made her stand at a side and picked the glass from the bed side table and handed it to her but she slowly shook her head in denial because the servants were not allowed to have anything from the expensive utensils. Without caring for her negative response he thrust the glass in her small hands and charged towards the gun. He didn't look at her while picking the gun up and tucking it in the back of his pants. He turned towards her shaking form who was still standing with her head lowered and the glass of water in her hands. "Do you work." he said simply and walled out of the room in the balcony.
He was breathing heavily and his eyes closed shut tighty to block the view in front of him but the voice he couldn't, the touch he couldn't. He could feel several hands running at his body leaving no inch of his body. He was drowning in shame and wanted to leave from there as soon as possible. He tried to find his voice and soon started pleading in his vulnerable voice."Ná déan teagmháil liom." he said in the hopes that the hands burning on his body will go away. (Translation: Don't touch me.)"Ná déan teagmháil liom le do thoil." he again pleaded which made the hands to squeeze his skin this time. (Translation: Please don't touch me.)He kept pleading to the owner of the hands to not touch him but all his pleadings went to dead ears but he still kept trying. "Ná déan teagmháil liom."(Translation: Don't touch me.)"Ná déan teagmháil liom le do thoil."(Translation: Please don't touch me.)"DÚIRT MÉ NÁ DÉAN TEAGMHÁIL LIOM!" Ryker growled out and his blue eyes snapped open. (Trans
It was another normal day for everyone except Inaayat because her days are filled with humiliation, fear and so much pain. As her morning routine she woke up and after doing her morning routine she started cleaning everyone's room but in the back of her mind Abhinendra's angry face was coming again and again. After daring to run away from him last night she didn't know what will he do once he gets hold of her. Her whole body shuddered in fear thinking the consequences of her reflex actions. Without making any noise or disturbing anyone she was cleaning everyone's room and after she was done with Arjun's room she froze. She knew the next room she had to clean belonged to Ryker and she knew at that time he would be in his room. All the incidents from last day started playing in her mind and she strongly wanted to run back away from there but then next thought made her stop. If she will not clean his room and Thakurain get to know this, she will eat her raw. Not having enough option
Ryker sighed and walked towards her gently. He softy moved her hand away from the door and opened it swiftly for her. She nervously walked and settled inside the car sinking in the comfortable seat. He closed the door for her and glanced at her through the window and settled himself in the passenger seat. The car roared to life making Inaayat flinch. She sinked more into the seat while feeling Urvashi shooting angry glares at her. When the car started moving her curious doe eyes slowly moved to the window and she started watching the world outside. Her eyes twinkling because it was the first time she had been out of the haveli. Her eyes twinkling like a kid and she saw the busy streets and so many people around. Different kind of people with different type of bodies. She was trying to scan each and everything and print in her mind not knowing if she will get a chance like this in future or not. She was amazed, travelling in a car for the first time because she had only seen them fr
Inaayat immediately nodded at them not cross questioning them because she was never allowed to. She started walking with them where they were taking her. Both the men were about little shocked too because they didn't have to convince her even a bit and she herself got ready to go with them. They took her to the other side of the floor and when they were near the stairs one of them covered her mouth and the other knee held her feet. They both started taking her down on the stairs while her eyes wide and body frozen not knowing what was happening with her. Meanwhile Ryker, Arjun and Urvashi came out of the store with a happy Urvashi and an annoyed Ryker. Arjun was doing something in his phone while Ryker's face was devoid of any emotion but he was clearly annoyed by Urvashi. She was again and again coming towards him in the store as he is her boyfriend which he hated. "Aaj to maine bohot saari shopping ki hai." Urvashi chirped happily earning Arjun's attention. He smiled and looked
"In logon ne pareshan kiya kya aap ko?" Ryker asked her in such a low tone that only she could hear. (Translation: Did these people bother you?) "H-Humne chori nahi ki. Aap kahan chale gaye the hum darr gaye the?" She said then a sob broke out of her lips. (Translation: I-I did not steal. Where did you go? I was scared.) She just wanted to hide herself in him but didn't know about hugs so she stuck to his chest holding his shirt tightly in her fists. Ryker clenched his jaw hard thinking how scared she was feeling when they were accusing and assaulting her so once again his blood boiled and he whispered in her ear. "Aap ko darne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, bacche. Main aa gaya hoon naa ab dekhiye main kaise in sab ko saza deta hoon aap ko pareshan karne ke liye." Ryker said taking her fists away from his shirt and turned around to the people who were already looking at the scene unfolding. (Translation: You don't have to be afraid, kid. I have come now, now see how I punish them
Ryker left that jewellery store and straightly went to the first store where he visited with Inaayat and his men were already waiting for him there. They greeted him in their native language with respect to which he firmly nodded and entered inside the store with them following behind. Seeing an influential man who had so many guards behind him a sales girl immediately came running to him to assist. But he didn't even acknowledge her presence while she was fixing her appearance just to catch that carribbean blue eyed man's attention. He straightly went to the clothes section where Inaayat went to look for clothes and due to his sharp instincts he knew which one she was looking for and which one she liked the most. The girl also came jogging behind her not able to match his long strides. Her smile which was constantly there since he entered the store started to falter when the latter didn't even glance at her. She saw his gaze fixed on the clothes in front of him so she decided to ask
They both came out of the store and buy this time she didn't buy a single thing. He knew her inner turmoil and didn't force her. Then he decided to take at footwear store and she silently followed him. They entered inside and saw so many types of classy and beautiful footwear. She silently looked at the footwear while the sales man welcomed them. "Aaiye sir and mam, please baithiye." He said offering them to sit on the couch there and they both sat on it. (Translation: Come sir and mam, please have a seat.) "Bataiye kya dikhaun aapko?" He asked them and Inaayat immediately looked at him completely dependent on him to speak for her like a child looking at her father. (Translation: Tell me, what should I show you?) "Aap bataiye aap ko konsi wali sandal acchi lag rahi hain wo wahi wali aap ke liye nikal denge." He whispered into her ear so that the sales man couldn't hear him speaking their native language. (Translation: You tell me which sandals you like and I will pick out those
Ryker and Inaayat were in the car heading to the mall but he was intentionally driving the car slow so that she could see everything around her which she was already watching and couldn't help but be amused. She has never seen so many people walking on the streets, some chatting, some fighting, some driving vehicles and children coming back from school. It was all new for her and she was giggling looking at them every now and then. Ryker tried many times to not to look at her but he also couldn't stop himself from looking at her innocent face, admiring her. He didn't know how he will be able to leave her and go back to his country when the time will come because it was surely he wouldn't take her with him to that dangerous territory of his. He can protect her with all his life but he knew she didn't deserve that life being protected and live in fear that she can die anytime. He shook his head shrugging the thoughts away and heard her giggling again. He decided that till he isn't goi
She slowly trailed her gaze back and gasped loudly looking at the unpredictable incident that happened. The hem of her kurti (Indian outfit which was reaching till her mid thigh) was stuck in the sharp edge of the steel stand on which her clothes were hanged to sundry. She immediately pulled the hem of her kurti out from the sharp edge revealing the torn, shredded cloth which can't be sewed anymore. She had already sewed her clothes enough that they had no more places left to sew. Ryker stood up and walked towards her watching her standing at her place without any reaction while she was busy grieving on her torn kurti and thinking one more outfit was eliminated from her torn and old clothes. Ryker saw her standing while holding the torn part of her cloth lost in her own thoughts. He saw the kurti was torn so much that it can't be worn by her anymore. He has always noticed her wearing sewed clothes with small patches of another material of cloth attached to them to make them usabl
A few days passed and Inaayat still wasn't able to start her studies because Arjun was busy in cracking an important deal and due to that he was having so many conference meetings with the employees of his company and the other company who was ready to become his company's alley. So, Ryker chose not to disturb him for a few days until his deal got cracked and he himself didn't try to reach her after swearing to stay away from her as much as possible. They were back to the same terms: him ignoring her existence and her confused as hell that why he wasn't talking to her much. She was sitting at the bed admiring him from afar. All day she has nothing to do which was new to her because she has always been the busiest person in the haveli and now she has absolutely no work to do, thanks to Ryker. She has started to notice his habits more often and one of them she hates was smoking. She doesn't know what dangerous and life-threatening effect it causes to him but she was curious what hap
After a few hours passed, Ryker felt his sleep slipping away. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly not knowing what to do when people wake up from a peaceful sleep because he never experienced one until today. As soon as his senses came back he felt a weight at his forehead. He immediately lifted his hand and touched the thing to feel a face soft which turned him alert and he tried to sit up immediately but found a hand at his chest. When he moved his gaze at the hand he found his earring in the ring finger and he recognised it as Inaayat's hand without thinking twice. He turned confused that what she was doing there instead of the bed. He carefully sat up not wanting to wake her up and saw her sitting on the floor while her head on the couch which was at his forehead a second ago. He didn't understand a thing but the fact that her body must be feeling pain in that uncomfortable position. He stood up from the couch and bent down to wake her up but it will break her
It was very dark everywhere and not even a single thing could be seen. Only ragged breathing of someone could be heard in the dark crystal clearly. The person who was standing in the dark, scared and alerted trying to calm himself down but the fear didn't let him. The fear of someone attacking at them or worse touching them. They gulped again and again wanting the fear of the people around them to fade away which was not possible. Soon a thud sound came followed by a whimper, it sounded boyish. The boy standing in the dark tried to look around himself for who was there but the dark vision was not helping him at all. Some footsteps started coming closer to him which he could clearly identify due to his sharp instincts. He heard the footsteps clearly and understood five people had entered the room. He could feel them coming closer to him. His bare body felt chills in the closed room. He was just in her inner standing at a table in a dark room, that's all he knew. He didn't know where
"Kisi ne kuch kaha aap se?" He asked her softly forgetting all of his anger and again a tear rolled down her eye twisting something inside him. (Translation: Did someone say anything to you?) "Bataiye bacche, kisi ne kuch kaha aap se?" He questioned her again and waited patiently for her reply. She slowly shook her head negative. (Translation: Tell me kid, did someone say anything to you?) "To phir kya hua? Kyun ro rahi hain aap?" He asked her to be genuinely concerned and confused. (Translation: Then what happened? Why are you crying?) "A-A-Aap kahan chale gaye the? Aur aap ne subah se hamse baat nahi ki par unse ki." She complained referring to Urvashi. (Translation: W-W-Where did you go? And you haven't talked to me since morning but you did to her.) She didn't know why she felt bad when he was sitting with Urvashi. She didn't know but her poor felt jealous due to his lack of attention on her. She saw Urvashi scooting closer to him and after that she didn't see furth
