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
With her tensed mind and aching body she started doing her work hastily so that she doesn't offend Thakurain anymore. After completing her whole work she started walking towards the main hall with her tired body and aching feet. Her cramps were hitting her badly while her waist and lower abdomen was killing her. She saw everyone there already present except Arjun and Ryker. The ones who were present there were the one who hates her and she knew something was coming to her way. Besides it's been a long time she got punished because of Arjun being in the haveli. Her wounds and bruises were starting to heal while she was not getting tormented by Abhinendra but she thought it was just for few days because she could see herself getting punished already. She reached in front of the members of the haveli and stood there with her hands clasped and head lowered, gaze at her feet. Her insides were shivering terribly and she wanted to cry so badly but crying will also not do anything good to
It was night time and everyone went back to their respective rooms after calling it a night. Arjun was also back from his friendly get together and trip with his friends and too tired to even change his clothes. He had his dinner outside already so straightly went to his room to sleep and as soon as he crashed on the bed he passed out. Everyone were sleeping except one who was none other than Ryker. He was wide awake because as usual sleep in his life doesn't exist no matter how much tries and even if he gets a slightest bit of sleep nightmares visit to ruin it all. He was working at his laptop continuously and after he was done he decided to smoke for sometime. He opened the curtains of the window letting the moon light enter inside his dark room. Opening the door of the balcony he went outside in the balcony. He lit up a cigarette and took a puff walking towards the railing. He was looking the silent surroundings in front of him but soon his gaze fell on something and his hand imm
Next day, the sun started to rise and the birds started chirping at the trees but there voices were muffled due to the curtains covering the windows. Inaayat's eyes started to flutter at their own because it was usually time of her waking up. For the first time, she felt that she slept so peacefully because she didn't felt fear of Abhinendra barging inside her room. She was still in her slumber that she didn't realize where she was. When she opened her eyes, her honey brown orbs met with an unfamiliar feeling. A slight confusion came upon her face. She blinked her eyes few times and then all the incidents from last night hit her like a truck. She immediately sat up on the bed with her eyes wide. She looked around and saw Ryker still sitting at the couch while slight light passing through the curtains falling on him. His carribean blue gaze eyes were already on her but her oblivious, naive mind didn't think even for once that what if he was looking at her the whole night like this wh
After breakfast everyone discarded to their room but the maids were working in kitchen. Inaayat was not allowed to enter inside because she was on her periods but she could smell something tasty and delicious cooking inside the kitchen. Her curious gaze was wandering again and again at the gate of the kitchen while working in the main hall. She was changing the covers of the couches and putting fresh flowers in vase because as far as she could understand there were some guests going to visit in few hours but she didn't know who because haveli people only allow few special people to visit them. After she was done changing the covers she tried to peek inside the kitchen while walking past from there but unfortunately her innocent actions was caught by Dadi who was coming downstairs with a maid. When she saw her trying to peek inside the kitchen she immediately went near her."Arre nalayak! Kya taak-jhaak kar rahi hai rasoi mein?" Dadi said holding her hair and twisted it harshly. (Tr
It was night time now and everyone was sleeping except Inaayat who was wide awake. She wanted to sleep so badly but she remember she has to return Ryker's tuxedo because she can't return it to him in daylight and catch everyone's attention. She was waiting for the right time to sneak out of her room and go to him. She was wishing that before she could go Abhinendra won't barge inside her room like always because if it will happen then she won't be able to go into his room at all. She waited for the right time to come and when she felt that everyone must be sleeping in deep slumber she got up from the floor. Taking off the tuxedo from the rope she folded it neatly and hide it under her dupatta(scarf). Then she left her room walking towards the other side of hallways where the Thakur family lives. When she reached in the hallways she saw no one around and mentally felt happy that no one was there. She reached to Ryker's room and knocked softly at his door trying to not knock it lould
After that traumatizing incident that night Inaayat started ignoring Ryker's presence completely as if he doesn't even exist. She tries to avoid looking at him and feeling his presence near herself, her body starts trembling in fear. When she goes to her room for cleaning she doesn't even look at him and silently does her work as fast as she could without giving him a single glance. On the other side she was avoiding coming in front of Abhinendra too which left him stunned because that's something she never did before. She hides inside the store room at the night time so that she won't encounter with Abhinendra at all. He waits for her in the room and find her everywhere too but never got hold of her which made him to fuck some prostitutes, needing the release badly. Ryker also understood that she was scared by him but his actions were reflexive of the things which disturbs him. He hate touches and always stays alerted of the people around him. When Inaayat touched him, he was alre
He could see in how much pain she was. He didn't want to do anything with her but seeing her in that vulnerable condition he felt a tug in his heart which he himself couldn't understand. She was struggling like a dying fish in the bath tub. He decided to help her without thinking twice but before he could even take a single step towards her Arjun came back with a towel. He wrapped it around her trembling figure and took her out of the tub walking in the balcony and made her sit on the chair there due to her wet body. Arjun tried to dry her skin but she again tried to move away from his touch which made him hesitant. "Inu tum chinta mat karo maine doctor ko bula liya hai wo bass aati hi hongi." Arjun said trying to console her but Ryker was standing there silently looking at her with his piercing eyes. (Translation: Inu, you don't worry I've called the doctor she must be on her way.) Soon Urvashi came with a doctor inside Arjun's room so he also picked Inaayat up and made her la
"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
