Strings Attached ✨

13. Not weak

" You wanna know what you're? Oh you cartoon of a man, you'll have to even though you don't. You ever wonder what a cross of an orangutan and chimpanzee will look like ? Exactly how the mirror will look to you. " ….she chuckled mockingly and looked at him. Even though she wasn't a psychopath, the aura she took over at that moment, resembled one with utmost detail.

Aksh gasped silently.
Akshat on the other hand, stood totally unresponsive and shocked.

" And leave that little joke of a king. If he hadn't, I would have drowned you and feeded your pathetic excuse of a human body to the wolves. "

……..the man inside the prison was not to be considered but the one outside of it stood with his hands covering his mouth and eyes open like plates at the realisation that the girl in front of him just called Agastya,his almighty, a "little joke of a king" …and didn't even stutter. 

" And oh my dearest little boy. Be very cautious. I'm free in this palace and you're not. And just like you've had well in advance realised that I might be a psychopath, pray that it isn't the truth. Or you know what psychopaths do when they are on the loose. They kill. And enjoy every single moment of it. And I feel like I love the idea. "

She smirked psychotically at the caged man as her eyes flickered with a deadly splint.

And for a split moment, aksh thought that he was standing behind Agastya, just a bit shorter.

" So boy. Once again. Be very, very cautious. You're caged. An easy target." ……she chuckled as she stared at him dead in the eye.

Akshat looked at aksh like he'd seen a lion with two heads and wanted to run away as much as he wanted to stand there and process things.

Aksh looked at ruh wide eyed and then realised his condition. Soon he recollected himself, and proceeded to sort out the situation. That's exactly what his job was. Sorting out every situation Agastya was involved in. And clearly, even though Agastya wasn't directly involved in this, he couldn't be any less involved with the girl standing in front of aksh at the moment.

" Ruh. Hey! Calm down, alright? We'll see about him later. For now, let's go. Yeah?" ……he tried to be as courteous as he could but his only mistake was holding ruh's hand while doing that.

Ruh yanked his hands off immediately and turned to him.
" You should know where to keep your hands. Crossing boundaries shouldn't be the character of a man like you. " …..she said in a monotonous voice showing absolute disinterest in both aksh and what he had to say.

Her hair almost slapped aksh as she turned around with all the unnecessary force and went outside.

"Bhai……"....akshat's feeble voice rose when….
"Just shut up okay? You should burn in hell." …..aksh spat directly at Akshat while still processing the whole thing that happened.

Stomping heavily, she made her way towards god knows where. She was too hot headed at the moment to decide on a destination.

Suddenly,she caught sight of the greyish white tail vanishing into the cornering hallway.
Jihan..? …she thought.

She ran towards the direction when she hit that familiar hard wall-like chest all over again.
The known fragrance gave away all the clues for who it was.

" This will be the third time? Can't believe you're so impatient. Do I intrigue you that much, Jaan ?"........the deep voice rang in her ears.

Her eyebrows crushed into a frown as she pushed him with all the strength she had. Cotton candy-like strength, to mention precisely which didn't even succeed in moving him one-inch.
Rather, she was pushed back herself as a result of the recoil from the force.
