Next day in Evening
Krish was busy at work while Farha and Krish's mother were in the mall with Derek buying the things for the event and also shopping for home. Divya was out from the morning for some work and when she got free Farha asked her to join them. Getting down infront of the mall from car, she received Krish's call and was talking with him.
"Can I join you all?", he asks innocently. "No.. you can't. Just handle your work and I'll be okay with Farha and others", she says sternly.
"But I miss you! I haven't seen you since morning now", he says with pouty lips. "Krish… we are already on a video call for the seventh time now. And still if you say this then I'm sorry I don't have words only", she replies with a shrug.
"Okay. Fine. I love you. Take care and keep missing me", he says in hurry as his secretary comes to call him. "Yeah.. go now. And I won't miss you at all…", she says chuckling while he mewls but she hangs up on him.
Divya gets inside the lift after knowing at which floor Farha is and she says in the 9th floor at the food court. Divya shoves her phone in her Louis Vuitton handbag and like a shining Diva dazzling in her golden creme colour pant and coat with a tee. She had a Titan beautiful watch in her hand embraced at her wrist while her hair were tied in a loose bun behind her head.
Getting inside she doesn't cares to see who was inside the lift as her head was still busy with Krish's words making her tummy feel ticklish sensation. She presses her floor and waits for it to arrive when she senses a pair of eyes boring holes in her skull. She tries to ignore it but when she still feels it, she cranes her head to have a look on it and her eyes get wide like saucers.
"What's he doing here?", She asks herself.

Karan's POV
I was here to bring my son's potato spirals and burger which he loves to eat from here. Today, he wasn't feeling good so was in home which I know is a lie to bunk the school. And when I was in office he called me to give his list of things he wants. He is my cute bunny aka troublemaker and is fully spoiled by me. Getting into the lift I reached till second floor when the left went downstairs again making me frown. I guess that lady forgot to press my floors button though she said she would. Any how the lift gets open and I wasn't interested to know who it was. I just simply pressed my floor first and then that person was about to do when my eyes stuck at that face.
It was Divya the same girl who has been pondering in my head from days now giving me sleepless and restless nights. I don't wants so special about her but she kinda hooks my attention toward her and now that she is infront I can't get myself to move my eyes from her beautiful similar like looking face. My breathes were hitched before even I knew and when she senses my eyes on her she turned to have a look but froze.
My eyebrows furrowed to know why was she shocked to see me. I mean it's a small world and people are meant to meet once or twice while leaving in the same city. But her face says something else it's like she is caught while doing a sin I felt.
I was about to ask her my thoughts loud when the lift suddenly stops at 7th floor and we both look here and there to know what's happening. Her face covered with a horrified expression and she was about to ask for a help when the lift starts doing down with a jerk and she panicking screams. I was scared as well but seeing her I didn't dare to express and try to lend my hand for her when she wraps her arms around me pulling near her. And I subconsciously hold her tight in my arms until the lift stops in the middle of the 3rd & 4th floor.
My brain was active to realise the lift stopped moving and lights turned off but my body was numb and jello, sniffing on the similar scent from her. She against my frame made me have the same spark and ticklish sensation run all over my body which I used to have when I hug Dia. How can someone make me remind of her so badly?
Meanwhile Divya was so terrified that she clenched on my shirt tight and breathing heavily she mutters "Please save me… don't leave me again. Pl-eas-e help!!", in a damn inaudible and low voice.
"Shh… don't worry it's fine. I'm there with you!", I said in a cooing tone caressing her hair.

Author's POV
Divya finds her nerves calm but as she opens her eyes the darkness surround her. She finds her in a dilemma and her trauma hits her back. "Please get me out… I-I can't breathe", she says.
Divya was trembling in his arms and clutching him tight she pleads to get herself out of there while her breathing gets shallow. She finds her hard to breathe finding herself stuck in a small place that even in darkness. Past things haunt her in the back of her brain and she suddenly pushes Karan away. She sits in the corner hugging herself tight with her knees pulled to her chest. She kept on going back and forth as she murmurs something in gibberish when Karan feeling stunned just stares at her in amusement.
"Krish… pl-eas-e come here… pl-eas-e take me out!", she calls for him and Karan's heart stings with pain.
He then slowly crouching down to her level takes the seat beside her and tries to touch her but she dodges.
"Calm down Divya… I'm here. You are not alone. We will be out soon", he says when her health seems detoriating. "I-I want to go home…", she says in a low voice and Karan feels bad.
Feeling agitated he assures her that he will take her out but before that she needs to calm down and after loads of pleading her breathing slowly gets back to normal. But her nails were digging in her own skin as she clench her fist tight to hold her guts. Karan lits his phones flash on and asks her to do the same and that puts her in ease. He then bangs at the door making her flinch at her place. And after what felt like an eternity passed the guards came running to the lift and knocks at the outer door hard.
"Sir… ma'am please stay there. I'm sorry for inconvenience but our lift has an issue from morning and till I was about to switch it off and hang a board you both went inside", a voice comes and Karan gulps his anger seeing her scared face drenched in tears.
She tries to call someone or text but her phone was out of network coverage making her insides tremble. She tried her best to stay in calm fighting her own inner demons and state. While Karan seeing her still finding it little hard just stays beside her. And soon the crowd gathered with Farha and Krish's mother and Derek running downstairs for her after getting this news. They were hella terrified to know Divya was stuck inside the lift and more than that when they heard Karan's voice talking with the guard they were more astonished.
Praying for her wellness and yelling at the guards which still took 2 hours Farha made the lift started. And when the gates opened she find her strong and bold Divya in a weak and damped state. She launched herself in Farha's arm the moment the gates opened and without wasting any second they took her back home with Karan behind left with hundreds of questions.
Why do I find you like a jigsaw puzzle?
The more I try to know you the more new things comes out leaving me amused.
What's so Mysterious about you, Divya? Who are you actually?
And what did actually happened with you?

Abandoned Wife
ChickLit"I knew it.. I knew you were alive!", he breathes wryly. "I missed y..ou..", he breathed and stretches his arms to wrap around her but she steps back. Her one hand extends in air to create the space between them while her blood shot eyes snapped at...
