''Who are they ?'' Anjali asked Daksh who wasn't looking tense.

''stay in the car, I will. look at them '' Daksh said and went out of the car. he walked to them and spoke something.

''where is my phone'' she whispered looking around, she couldn't find it. sweat beads formed on her forehead.

she turned her gaze to Daksh and saw the men catching his hand and maltreating him.

''oh my god, this looks messed up '' she thought and started breathing heavily when the men looked at her intensely.

''Daksh '' she shouted when she saw the men start beating him up, she closed her mouth when all the men's attention was on her.

she saw one man indicating the other to bring her, ''Anjali run away'' she heard Daksh who was half-conscious.

she felt helpless all of a sudden, she opened the door and looked at them coming towards her, ''please leave me'' she whispered and stepped out of the car.

their gaze on her became too intense, she already knew they would never leave her even if she tried to escape.

tears formed in her eyes, she closed the door and started running away, ''stop'' she heard them saying, yet she cared for her life.

she heard a gunshot, she turned around and looked at them pointing a gun toward her.

''stop lady or else we will shoot you '' they shouted and she stopped in her tracks and fell to the ground. one man held her shoulder pointing a gun at her and dragged her.

she couldn't feel anything, she just followed that man who was dragging her way too harshly, she looked at Daksh who was laying on the ground helpless.

she didn't even inform anyone in the house, which made her feel more helpless, she closed her eyes in disbelief. suddenly she felt her hand again, it was free.

she opened her eyes as she heard a gunshot, that man who was dragging her a few seconds ago was laying down on the road with blood all over his body.

she widened her eyes in horror, ''oh no '' she whispered looking at him. she looked around to see Abhimanyu.

she again looked at the man, her hands were shivering as she heard the gun sounds. she closed her ears tightly.

she was breathing heavily, she saw all the men leaving immediately after they saw Abhimanyu.

they left Daksh on the road . she removed her hands from her ears and tried to process everything that has happened.

''Are you okay'' Abhimanyu asked looking at Anjali who stood there like a doll. he went towards Daksh and picked him up, ''Daksh get up buddy'' he said patting his cheek.

''Anjal, look at him '' Abhi shouted feeling tensed as she is a doctor and Anjali didn't even react.

''I am sorry, I can't'' she said and opened the car door and sat in the car, she closed the door and looked at some men lying on the ground covered with blood.

she saw many patients, she saw blood, but never violence, this is so much different from her life, she was trying hard to process all of these.

she saw an ambulance, and they took Daksh to the hospital, after the ambulance left, Abhi looked at Anjali who locked herself in the car, she looked so different.

he made his way towards the car, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

''Are you okay '' he asked looking at her. his mere voice was enough to break her down, she started crying after hearing his soothing voice.

''no I am not'' she said catching his hand tightly. ''blood, it's all blood'' she said breaking down. ''shhhhhh, it's okay, I am here'' he whispered looking at her closing her eyes.

her pink lips were trembling in fear, her touch was a bit warmer for him, her tears made their way all through her reddish-shaded cheeks, and her chest was going up and down.

'' Anjali you need to calm down'' he said removing his hand from her grip and starting the car.

''I already told you, you cannot go anywhere without informing me, why do you do all this stuff'' he said driving.

''I don't know Abhi, I just came out with Daksh '' she said in one go, ''it's alright calm down'' he said.

''I will drop you home'' Abhi said looking at her. she nodded but she wanted his time, she want him to be with her, she want to feel his warm and safe embrace.

''abh...iii'' she struggled to talk, she looked at him. ''can you please stay with me for some time'' she pleaded with him. this was her first time asking him to stay with her.

he stopped his car as they arrived at the mansion. he looked at her without any emotions, ''I will be back soon, you take rest '' he said. ''Abhi please'' she said. there was no reply.

Anjali clenched her jaw in anger.

she literally begged him for his time, now she is done.

she stormed out of the car and quickly ran into the mansion. ''does he even know what humanity is '' she whispered while running into her room.

''bhabhi Are you okay '' she heard rihaan, she quickly locked her door. and jumped in her bed while crying.

'''' she thought and punched the pillow hardly.

she was traumatized by all the stuff that happened today, she just needs some assurance that she will be safe now, but only from Abhimanyu.

she couldn't take this anymore, she went straight to Abhimanyu's bar room and took a random bottle to her room

I dropped her at home and was going to the hospital to check Daksh, what did he get himself into?

I want to ask him why did he take Anjali out when he knows it's dangerous for her, I want to know every single detail about that man who attacked Daksh.

I clutched the steering wheel tightly in stress.

''Abhi can you please stay with me for some time'' is what bothering me, why is it dragging me to go to her?

I involuntarily took my phone, ''rihaan is Anjali alright? '' I asked, ''umm, she was so mad and ran into her room ''rihaan said.

''rihaan I can't tell you anything right now, I will tell you the address of the hospital in which Daksh is admitted and I want you to take care of him, and I will stay with Anjali'' I said.

''okay bhai, I am starting right now '' rihaan said, I gave him the address and cut the call.

I turned my car to the mansion.

______________________________________________

''Anjali'' I knocked on the door, ''leave me you heartless idiot '' I heard her voice.

i took the spare keys and opened her door as I didn't wanna beg more.

''why did you come again '' she said wiping her tears and standing up from her bed.

I saw a bottle of alcohol on her bed, '' where did you get it '' I asked looking at her coldly.

''I just had 3 glasses why do you care, I got it from your bar room'' she said and was swinging in her position.

tears started falling from her eyes again.

her eyes were red and swollen. ''why are you crying like this, everything is okay now Anjali'' i said moving forward.

i took her hand and made her sit on the bed .

'' they will be dead in my hands, now stop crying anju'' i said wiping her eyes.

listening to me saying ''ANJU'' she broke down more.

''i am not sad about them'' Anjali said looking down .

''then what's bothering you '' i asked lifting her chin with my finger.

'' YOU'' she said which made me dumb-struck. maybe she drank way too much.

''what are you talking Anjali '' I asked looking intensely at her.

''I don't know it bothers me when you ignore me these days '' she said making my eyes go wide.

''I think you are not feeling well, you need to sleep '' I said getting up from her bed.

she caught my wrist and I turned around.

''no I am completely alright Abhimanyu '' she said and got up from her bed.

she came closer to me.

''Anjali what is wrong with you? '' I asked when I sensed her coming closer to me.

she caught my collar and pulled me to her height.

I was looking into her tear-filled eyes surprisingly.

she slowly kissed me on my cheek.

I was processing everything which is happening now, what did she just do?

''I think I have feelings for you Abhimanyu'' she said making me smile unknowingly.

''what did you say '' I asked raising an eyebrow .

''feelings, can't you understand'' she said catching my shirt to support her legs cause I can understand how much alcohol she took.

'' is it '' I said looking at her.

''why are you looking at me like that '' she said and looked into my eyes.

''wait and watch what I will do when you will come to consciousness Anjali'' I said gripping her waist .
