So let's start one short FF:-
.

.
A cute, chubby-cheeked girl sat in a corner of the college canteen. Her eyes were fixed on her phone screen, where a photo of a boy was open. She was looking at the photo with so much love, as if nothing else existed in the world except him. There was a faint, dreamy smile on her lips, and the softness in her eyes that only a true crush can have.

Her best friend, sitting across from her, had been observing her for quite some time. Finally, raising her eyebrows and looking a little irritated, she said, "How long are you going to keep following him, Vanya? He doesn't even look at you... and you're completely crazy about him. All the time... even while eating, you're looking at his photo or lost in thoughts of him."

Yes... this was vanya, our female lead.

Vanya immediately pouted, lowering her phone slightly, and looked at her friend with her wide, innocent eyes.

"Pakhi... you always ruin my mood."

Pakhi rolled her eyes dramatically and leaned back on the chair.

"I'm your friend, so I'm showing you the truth. You've been after him for the past year and a half... and he doesn't even notice you once. Why are you wasting your time on him, Vanya?"

Vanya lowered her gaze for a second. Her fingers gently rubbed the phone cover, as if trying to understand her feelings. But the next moment, she smiled slightly... the kind of smile that's a little stubborn and a little dreamy.

Vanya looked at her phone screen again with love, as if she wanted to be lost in that photo. There was a strange sparkle in her eyes-a perfect mix of stubbornness and love.

"So what happened...?" she said softly, with a soft smile on her lips.

"I still have a year and a half left... and in these two years... I'll definitely make him fall in love with me."

Pakhi rolled her eyes at his words and took a sip of juice. Disbelief was clearly visible in her expression.

"Vanya... dreaming while awake is the biggest lie," Pakhi said in a slightly serious tone.

"You're wasting your time for no reason. Woh... your crush Kabir... honestly, he's not even worthy of your attention."

Vanya's fingers paused on the phone for a second, but she didn't say anything.

Pakhi continued, "You stalk him all day in college... and he ignores you as if you don't even exist. And on top of that, his behavior... he's so cold and rude around you. I don't understand how you fell in love with him."

Pakhi sighed and leaned slightly toward Vanya, saying, "Tell me the truth... I'm tired of trying to make you understand."

Vanya remained silent... but her eyes were still fixed on the phone screen. As if just one photo of Kabir was enough for him to regain all his courage.

Vanya's eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at Pakhi with a slight, sad smile.

"Pakhi... don't say that about him. You know... he saved me from being ragged on the first day of college."

Pakhi leaned back and looked at her, as if she was both understanding and doubting what she was saying.

"Vanya... anyone can help someone in college. But giving your heart to someone just for the sake of helping them once... without knowing them properly... isn't that a little wrong?"

Vanya immediately sat up straight, as if defending her love was necessary.

"But... I know everything about him," she said, a little quickly.

"What he likes to eat... what his favorite color is... what places he likes to go... everything. So please... don't say that."

Pakhi gave her a sharp glare, disbelief clearly visible on her face.

"You... followed him, didn't you?"

Vanya froze for a second.

Pakhi rubbed her forehead and said in frustration, "Oh God, Vanya... I explained it to you, didn't I? Why don't you listen to a single word I say? To stalk someone like this... it's not normal. What can I do to you?"

Vanya gave an awkward smile, as if she didn't want to anger Pakhi.

"Friend... what could I do? I just knew a little about him... nothing more," she said softly.

"I promise... I never interfered in his personal life. I just... gathered a little information."

There was innocence in her voice... and a hidden stubbornness, which clearly indicated that Kabir was more than just a crush for her... he had become something more.

Pakhi sighed slightly, as if she had already understood the outcome.

"Look, Vanya... I had to explain my duty to you, which I did. Now, if you get hurt later, it won't be my fault. Kabir isn't the perfect choice for you... and you'll understand that soon."

Vanya immediately shot Pakhi puppy eyes.

Pakhi gave her a stern look.

"I'm not going to melt under those puppy eyes of yours. You never listen to me... and today I'm really angry with you."

Vanya gently held Pakhi's hand and gave her a sweet smile.
"Don't get angry... you're my only friend. If you get angry with me... then who will I share my secrets with?"

Pakhi looked at him with narrowed eyes, but a small smile appeared on her lips.

"You... always win my heart with your sweet words. But friend... understand... one-sided love never succeeds."

Vanya gave a slight, sad smile.
Pakhi immediately felt bad. She realized that perhaps she shouldn't have said this. She couldn't bear to see Vanya struggling.

Pakhi lightly pinched Vanya's chubby cheeks.
"Hey... I didn't mean to be mean. Come on, don't be sad... I'll buy you ice cream."

Vanya's eyes lit up instantly, as if someone had said her favorite word.
"You're the best, Pakhi!"

Pakhi smiled to herself after seeing him so happy.
"Come on, finish your lunch now... only then can we go eat ice cream."

Vanya took a bite of the paratha from her tiffin, but the next second she stopped, as if she remembered something.

"Umm... let's wait a bit," she said softly.

Pakhi also looked at her, eating from her tiffin.

"Umm... but why?"

Vanya looked down a little, embarrassed.

"Oh... I made a tiffin for him too. Maybe he hasn't come to the canteen area yet..."

Pakhi gave her a blank, slightly annoyed look.

"Have you brought him lunch again? Vanya... he never takes lunch from you... and you always make it for him."

Vanya casually bit into a piece of chili pickle and spoke matter-of-factly, "If I just stop trying... how will it work? One day... he'll definitely understand my love."

Pakhi just stared at him, as if she wanted to strangle her.

Vanya looked at him, bared her teeth, and laughed. "Come on... don't go home like this."

Pakhi rolled her eyes and quietly began eating.

The two then continued their lunch while chatting... but Vanya's gaze kept drifting towards the canteen entrance, as if she was waiting for someone... and she was absolutely sure that abhir would definitely come today.

Both had finished their lunches, but were still sitting in the canteen. Vanya's gaze drifted towards the entrance, a fact Pakhi couldn't ignore.

Pakhi asked with a mischievous smile,

"So... when is your villain coming?"

Vanya looked at him, confused.

"Villain? Who?"

Pakhi playfully looked at him.

"And who... your Kabir."

"Dude... don't say that to him," Vanya said immediately, a little irritated.

Pakhi shrugged her shoulders.
"Why shouldn't I tell you? He's not as sweet as a hero anyway. He always walks around with such a serious face... as if he's about to murder someone any minute."

Vanya immediately punched Pakhi lightly on her arms.

Pakhi started rubbing her arms dramatically.
"Look, God! Now you're killing your best friend for him. I don't know what magic that Kabir has cast on you."

Vanya laughed loudly at Pakhi's overdramatic tone... and seeing her laugh, Pakhi smiled back.

Their laughter was drowned in the noise of the canteen... but there was still a hidden hope in Vanya's eyes, which was trying to control itself by repeatedly looking towards the entrance.

Vanya's face suddenly lit up. Her eyes instantly flickered towards the entrance. Pakhi followed her gaze...

Kabir!
Pakhi silently rolled her eyes... but the happiness on Vanya's face remained undisturbed. It was as if someone had brightened her world.

But the next moment... seeing a girl with Kabir, Vanya's face slowly turned pale. Her smile froze... and the sparkle in her eyes faded slightly.

Pakhi also saw the girl with Kabir and mumbled in a low voice, "Bitch..."

She immediately looked at Vanya... who was clearly deeply saddened.

Pakhi softly placed her hand on Vanya's.

"Friend... don't be sad. Anyway, there are only rumors about them dating. Nothing like that has been confirmed."

Vanya quietly nodded slightly... but her eyes remained fixed on Kabir.

By then, Kabir was carrying his food from the canteen counter and heading towards an empty seat. The girl was with him... both were laughing as they talked.

A few girls sitting at the table a little ahead of them started whispering as they watched them.

"They look so perfect together..."

The first girl said in a dreamy tone.

"Yes... a perfectly made pair for each other,"

The second girl agreed.

The third girl smiled and said, "And look at Shruti... she's so beautiful. Slim... a perfect body. Seriously, why would Kabir refuse to date her?"

Vanya's heart slowly began to break after hearing all this. Her fingers tightened on the tiffin box... and she lowered her gaze.

Pakhi glanced at the girls irritably, then turned to Vanya and said softly, "Friend... don't pay attention to what they say. Nothing is confirmed yet."

Pakhi pushed Vanya's tiffin box towards him.
"You go... get him your homemade tiffin."

Vanya nodded quietly and slowly stood up.

Pakhi gave her a thumbs-up with an encouraging smile.

"All the best," she said softly.

Vanya gave a nervous smile... and, clutching her tiffin tightly, walked towards Kabir's table. Her heartbeat was getting faster with each step.

Kabir and Shruti were sitting together at the table... talking.

Reaching the table, Vanya stopped. She tightened her fingers even more on the tiffin... then called out in a small, shy voice, "Senior..."

Kabir and Shruti both looked at her simultaneously.

The atmosphere of the entire canteen seemed to suddenly change.

Slowly, people began to look at them... and soft whispers began.

Kabir's face instantly turned cold. There was no emotion in his eyes... just a blank, distant stare.

Shruti, meanwhile, was eyeing Vanya from top to bottom with disgust.

Vanya smiled awkwardly and offered the tiffin.
"Woh... I made it for you, Senior..."

Kabir's gaze lingered on the tiffin in Vanya's hand. A second... two seconds... then he said in a straight, emotionless voice,
"I don't want it".

Vanya's heart seemed to stop for a second. Sadness was clearly visible in her eyes... but still she forced a smile.

"You... eat later..." she said softly.

Kabir suddenly stood up.

At that moment, all the noise in the canteen seemed to fade away. Conversations stopped... laughter died down... everyone's gaze was fixed only on the two of them.

Kabir slowly extended his hand... and took the tiffin from Vanya's hand.

Vanya froze for a second... then her face lit up. That sparkle returned to his eyes... as if he had achieved his small victory.

Vanya slowly turned back to look at Pakhi, who was giving her an encouraging smile. There was reassurance in that smile-as if everything would be fine.

Then Vanya looked back at Kabir, who was turning the tiffin over and over.
Vanya's heart raced.
Whoa...what were they doing?

Kabir finally opened the tiffin and exclaimed with exaggerated surprise, "Wow... pasta!"
Vanya's face lit up for a second...

But the next moment, Kabir turned back to everyone. A mocking smile was on his lips.
"Look everyone... Piggy made pasta for me."

As soon as these words wafted through the air, Vanya's smile froze completely... then slowly disappeared.

After a second of silence, loud laughter echoed through the canteen.

Sounds of laughter from everywhere... whispers... teasing comments.

Pakhi stood there in shock. She couldn't believe Kabir could stoop so low.

Kabir looked at Vanya again.

"Well, Piggy... I'm not interested in your food. Neither are you..."

He paused for a moment and spoke in a sarcastic tone, "And what if I eat your food and become a piggy like you?"

Sounds of laughter echoed in the canteen again.

Vanya's eyes filled with tears. Her head slowly lowered. Her fingers trembled... and she tried to compose herself.

Pakhi's anger spiraled out of control. She quickly stood up, went over to Vanya, and glared at Kabir, saying, "Kabir! You can't talk to Vanya like that."

Kabir looked at Pakhi shyly... then, without saying anything, turned the pasta tiffin over.
The entire pasta fell to the floor.

A collective gasp echoed through the canteen.
Kabir said in a casual tone,

"Look, everyone... Piggy's friend came to her rescue."

He then bent down slightly and, looking into Pakhi's eyes, said,

"Well... explain it to your friend. I'm never going to date a girl like Piggy. And tell her to stay away from me."

Kabir's voice now became a little harsh.

"I thought ignoring her would be enough... but she's so stubborn that she keeps following me around."

Kabir's gaze finally landed on Vanya...

and he fell silent.

Tears were flowing from Vanya's eyes. Her lips were trembling... as if she wanted to say something... but words had left her.

For a second, she stood there... shattered before the whole world.

Then suddenly, she turned... and ran out of the canteen.

Kabir just silently watched her departing figure... there was a strange, unreadable emotion in her eyes... which she did not let anyone see.

Pakhi's anger was now beyond control. She turned to Kabir and said, "What you did today, Kabir... I will never forgive you for that,
You don't know which diamond you lost, And you will regret it a lot."

She didn't waste a second...She goes to the table and takes her bag. and immediately ran after Vanya.

Kabir stood there... amidst the noise of the canteen... but everything around him seemed to slowly fade away.

Scene Change

Vanya enters the bathroom, crying.

Her breathing was heavy... and the tears refused to stop flowing from her eyes.

She stopped in front of the mirror.

Her cheeks were completely red... her eyes were swollen and watery. Her nose had also turned slightly pink... and her lips were trembling constantly.

Vanya quickly opened the tap... and began splashing water on her face.

Her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably... as if she was trying her best to hold back her broken sobs.

She slowly looks at herself in the mirror... and almost whispers, "Uff... I've been so bad..."
Just then, a soft giggle is heard from behind her.

Vanya's heart skips a second.

She slowly looks in the direction of the voice...

Shruti.

And with her, her two friends.

Fear immediately wells up in Vanya's eyes.

When did they arrive...?

She had no idea.

Vanya quickly wiped away the tears and water with the back of her hand... but her fingers were still trembling.

"You... people...?" She said in a broken voice.

Fear was clearly audible in her voice... and her body instinctively moved back a little... as if she was already sensing danger.

Vanya slowly stepped back.

Her eyes were fixed on Shruti and her friends... as if she was becoming more scared by looking away from them. Her heartbeat had become so fast that she could feel her own chest pounding.

Shruti had a devilish smile on her lips... as if she had been waiting for this moment.

Vanya's gaze suddenly went to the bathroom door.

A faint glint of hope appeared in her eyes... and she quickly started moving towards the door.

"Catch him," Shruti said in a cold voice.

The very next moment... Shruti's two friends grabbed Vanya's arms.

Vanya froze in shock... then instantly started struggling.

"Let go... please let go..." Her voice was trembling.

But the two girls' grip tightened.

Shruti slowly approached Vanya... the sound of her heels echoed in the washroom.

She stopped right in front of Vanya... and started looking her up and down... as if she was judging her.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Shruti asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Have you ever seen your place?"

Vanya lowered her eyes... her breathing was becoming uneven.

Shruti suddenly grabbed Vanya's chin and lifted her face up.
"I gave you a clear signal... Kabir is with me."

Vanya's eyes welled with tears again.
"I... I just..."

Slap!

Shruti's hand landed hard on Vanya's cheek.

Vanya's face twisted to one side with the impact... and fresh tears fell from her eyes.
"Just what?" Shruti said hissing. "People like you just act out to get sympathy."

One of Shruti's friends twisted Vanya's hand even harder.
"How much courage she has... she keeps following Kabir around."

Another girl pushed Vanya... causing her to almost lose her balance, but thanks to their grip, she didn't fall.

Vanya winced in pain.
"Please... I didn't do anything wrong..."

Shruti pinched Vanya's cheeks harshly.

"Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? It's an insult for a girl like you to even be around Kabir."

Vanya's body was visibly trembling now.

Shruti pulled her bag and threw it on the floor. The items inside scattered-notebook, pen, a small keychain... everything was scattered on the floor.

A girl grabbed Vanya's shoulder and pushed her against the wall.

Vanya's back hit the wall... and a small, painful gasp escaped her lips.

Shruti stopped right next to her.

"Sun... if you're not seen anywhere near Kabir after today..." Shruti said in a soft but threatening tone,

"So what happened today... will only be a trailer."

The washroom fell into eerie silence.

Tears were falling from Vanya's eyes. Her breathing was shaky... and she was clearly in a state of panic.

Shruti released her with disgust.

"Let her go."

Both girls pushed Vanya away.

Vanya immediately fell down... her knees hit the floor.

Her breathing hadn't yet returned to normal. The tears were refusing to stop flowing from her eyes.

Shruti had reached a distance... but suddenly stopped.

She slowly turned... irritation was shining in her eyes.

"Actually..." Shruti said in a cold voice,

"I think you'll have to explain it properly once."

Vanya's heart sank instantly.

Shruti signaled her friends with her eyes.

The very next second... both girls moved towards Vanya again.

Vanya tries to stand up in panic... but her balance was already shaky.

"Please... let me go..." Her voice was broken.

One girl grabbed her hand and forced her to stand... while another held her shoulder tightly.

Shruti slowly approached them... and without warning, slapped Vanya hard on the cheek.

The impact was so sudden that Vanya's head jerked to the side.

Everything blurred before her eyes for a second.

"Don't you understand?" Shruti hissed.
"Kabir is not your level."

Vanya simply shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"I... I just-"
Another slap.

This time Vanya's balance was completely shaken.
One of Shruti's friends pushed her roughly. Vanya fell backward and hit the sharp edge of the washbasin.

One of Shruti's friends roughly pushed her. Vanya stumbled back and hit the sharp edge of the washbasin.

"Ahh-!"
Her forehead was cut by the corner of the basin... and a thin line of blood began to flow down her forehead.

Vanya froze in shock... her fingers automatically went to her forehead... when she looked at her hand... there was red blood on it.

Her breathing became heavier.

"Look... now you even got makeup for free," a girl said mockingly.

Another girl picked up Vanya's bag and threw it at her... which landed hard on her shoulder.

Vanya stumbled again with the jolt of pain.

Shruti grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall.

"Listen... after today, did you see Kabir around..." Shruti's voice was dangerously calm now, "Then next time, you won't just bite your lips."

Everything started spinning before Vanya's eyes.

Her head felt heavy... there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

Both girls gave her one last rough shove.

Vanya's head hit the wall behind her.

"Stop... please..." she almost whispered...
Her vision began to darken...
Her body went limp and slowly began to slide down...
And the next moment...
Vanya fell to the floor.

Her eyes were half-closed... a thin line of blood still flowed from the corner of her lips... and her body lay completely still.

Shruti and her friends froze for a second. "Shit... has she fainted?" a girl said softly.

Shruti sighed irritated...
"She must be putting on a drama. Let's get out of here."

The teens quickly left the bathroom.

The sound of the door closing echoed through the bathroom.

Inside... only Vanya's slow, uneven breathing on the floor broke the silence.

[Well, you guys are going through a shock, many people faint after seeing blood.]

Vanya's half-open eyes were fixed on the bathroom door.

Everything was slowly blurring... as if the world was moving away from her. Ceiling lights seemed to melt into one another.

Only a dull buzzing sound echoed in her ears... and her breathing had become very light and uneven.

She tried to move her fingers slightly... but her body wouldn't cooperate.

The door suddenly slammed open.

"Vanya!!"
Pakhi's panicked voice echoed through the bathroom.

Vanya's fading vision caught a blurry silhouette of Pakhi, running towards him.

"Vanya... Vanya, open your eyes!" Pakhi said, falling on her knees beside him.

She caught Vanya's face in her palms.

"Oh my God..." Pakhi's voice trembled.

Blood was flowing from the corner of Vanya's lips... her cheek was swollen... and her breathing seemed disturbed.

"Vanya... look at me... please look at me..." Pakhi almost cried.

Vanya's eyes opened a little more for a second... she tried to look at Pakhi...

Her lips moved slightly... but no sound came out.

"I'm right here... nothing will happen to you..." Pakhi gently placed her head in her lap.

Vanya's vision began to darken... and the next moment her eyes closed completely.

"VANYA!!" Pakhi yelled loudly.
Her hands were visibly shaking. Panic was clearly visible on her face.

Pakhi quickly took out her phone... but her fingers were shaking so much that she couldn't unlock the screen properly.

"Calm down... calm down..." she was saying to herself... but tears were welling up in her eyes.

Finally, she dialed the number.

As soon as the phone connected, Pakhi almost screamed, "Brother! You're in college, right? Please come to the washroom area quickly... Vanya... Vanya has fainted... and she's hurt..."
Her voice was breaking.

Something was said from the other side... and Pakhi quickly shook her head as if he could see.

"Please come quickly..."
After cutting the call, Pakhi held Vanya's hand tightly.

"Don't scare me... understand? You'll be fine... I'm here..."
Pakhi repeatedly placed her hand on Vanya's cheeks, trying to wake her up.

In the silence of the washroom, only Pakhi's broken sobs and Vanya's faint breathing could be heard.

It was two or three minutes later.

The sound of footsteps outside the door was getting louder... as if help was finally arriving.

The bathroom door suddenly swung open.

A tall, sharp-featured boy hurried in. Urgency and concern were clearly visible in his eyes.

"Pakhi!"

Pakhi immediately turned around and looked at him... and fresh tears of relief welled up in her eyes.

"Bhai..." her voice broke.

The boy immediately knelt down beside her, and his expression turned serious upon seeing Vanya's condition.

"How did all this happen?"
he asked, trying to remain calm, but the tension in his voice was clearly evident.

"I... I went down here for a while to check on Vanya... I thought... maybe Vanya had gone to the classroom." Pakhi's voice was laced with guilt.

"If I hadn't come to check the washroom... then... who knows what would have happened..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her voice was choked with tears.

Pakhi's brother remained silent for a second... he checked Vanya's pulse... then his jaw tightened at the sight of blood on her lip.

"Now is not the time for blame," he said softly.

"We have to get her out of here first."

Pakhi nodded helplessly.

Her brother carefully lifted Vanya into his arms. Vanya's head fell loosely on his shoulder... her hair fell on her face... and her breathing still felt weak, Her hand hung down lifelessly.

Pakhi quickly got up and started walking with them... her eyes were repeatedly going to Vanya.

The three left the washroom.

In the corridor outside the washroom, a few students looked at them curiously... but Pakhi's brother didn't even look at anyone. His steps were fast and determined.

Pakhi's brother turned towards the side hallway instead of the corridor to avoid the crowd, His steps were fast and determined..

But in the corner of the same corridor...
Kabir was standing.

His back was against the wall... as if he had been standing there for quite some time.

Pakhi's brother's back was facing Kabir... so he didn't realize anyone was watching them.

Kabir's gaze was fixed solely on Vanya.

All he could see was Vanya's lifeless hand... which was slowly shaking as Pakhi's brother took it from him.

Kabir's jaw clenched tightly.

Anger was clearly visible in his eyes... but there was something else behind that anger... something he himself couldn't understand.

He was about to take a step forward...

But he stopped.

His fists slowly tightened... and he just stood there... staring at Vanya's departing figure.

His expression was unreadable... but a storm was clearly building in his eyes.

Scene change:-

A faint antiseptic smell wafted through the hospital room. The slow beep... beep... sound of the monitor added to the heaviness of the atmosphere.

Vanya's eyelashes fluttered slightly...
Her eyes slowly opened... but the bright white light made it take a few seconds for her vision to adjust.

"Vanya..."
A soft, trembling voice reached her ears.

Vanya turned her head slightly...
Her blurred vision slowly cleared... and she saw Pakhi sitting next to her.

"Pakhi..." she said in a soft voice.

Pakhi immediately grabs his hand... the tears that had gathered in her eyes start flowing again.

"You... are you okay? Head... am I in pain?"

Pakhi's voice was filled with panic and concern.

"I... I'll call the doctor right now."

Pakhi was about to get up when Vanya tightened her grip on her hand.

"I'm fine... there's no need to call a doctor..." Vanya said with a weak smile.

Pakhi looked at her doubtfully.

"Sure...?"
Vanya nodded slowly.

Pakhi took a deep breath... but guilt was clearly visible in her eyes.

"I... am sorry..."
Her voice broke. "I honestly didn't know you'd gone to the washroom... I thought you'd gone to class... If I had known... I swear, Vanya... I wouldn't have left you alone..."

Vanya gave a slight shake of her head.

"Friend... it wasn't your fault... don't apologize..."

There was softness in her voice... but also weakness.

Pakhi pressed her lips... then her expression suddenly became serious.
"But how did all this happen...? Who did this?"

Anger flashed in her eyes.
"Tell me, Vanya... I swear, I would have killed him."

Suddenly, the bathroom scene flashed before Vanya's eyes-
Shruti's devilish smile...
The two girls grabbing him...
Pain... blood... fear...
His face turned completely pale.
"No... no one... did anything..."
His voice quavered slightly.
"I... fell..."
Pakhi continued to stare at her.

"Vanya... don't be afraid... I'm here..." she said softly.

Vanya immediately shook her head...
"No... no one did anything... I... fell..."
Fear was clearly evident in her eyes... and she was avoiding eye contact.

Pakhi noticed that expression... but she didn't force it.

"Okay... okay... everything's fine... you relax..."

Pakhi gently began to stroke Vanya's hair.

Vanya's breathing slowly began to calm.

For a few seconds, there was only silence in the room.

Then Pakhi said softly,
"By the way... your mother called."

Vanya immediately tensed.
"You... didn't tell your mother anything?"

Pakhi rolled her eyes... with a touch of anger and frustration.
"What if I don't tell her? What can I do?
I told her everything... and she's on her way... to take you home."

Vanya's expression turned to panic.
"Why did you... tell her...? Now it's my studies... my semester..."

Pakhi's patience faltered.
"Are you still worried about your studies?!"
Her voice grew a little louder.

"Have you seen how you are? There are hand marks on your cheeks... Bruises all over your body... You barely regained consciousness!"

Pakhi bent slightly and came closer to him.
"Tell me the truth, Vanya... Who did this?"

Vanya's breathing quickened...
Her fingers began to grip the bedsheet tightly.
"No one..."
"I... I fell..."

Her voice was now filled with panic...
Tears began to well up in her eyes again.

Pakhi continued to stare at her...
She could clearly see that Vanya was lying...
But seeing Vanya's fear, she stopped her questions.

Pakhi slowly took her hand... and squeezed it softly.

"Okay... don't say anything right now... you rest..."

But determination was clearly visible on Pakhi's face...
as if she wasn't going to stop until she found out the truth.

The room door opens with a soft knock.

A doctor wearing a white coat enters... accompanied by a nurse. Pakhi immediately stands upright.

"Doctor..." Pakhi's voice clearly shows tension,She gets up from the chair..
The doctor approaches Vanya with a calm expression.

"Good... the patient has regained consciousness. How are you feeling, dear?" he asks gently. Vanya tries to smile slightly.

"I'm fine... just feeling a little heavy..."

The doctor checks her pulse, then shines a torch into her eyes to check for reaction.
"Hmmm... I have a mild concussion from the impact on my head... but nothing serious. I'll get better with rest and medication."

Pakhi felt a little relieved... but was still worried.
"Doctor... and any injuries?"

The doctor signals to the nurse who was checking the file.

"There are some bruises on the body... and muscle strain in the shoulder area... luckily, there are no fractures."

Vanya closes her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The doctor says in a soft voice, "Don't stress too much right now... get proper rest... and if you feel dizzy or nauseous, let me know immediately."

Vanya nods slightly.

The doctor turns to Pakhi.

"Keep the patient away from emotional stress as well... they need a calm environment."

Pakhi nods with a serious expression.

"Yes, doctor."

The doctor smiles, hands the file to the nurse, and leaves the room.

Silence descends upon the room again.

Pakhi slowly sits down on the chair and starts stroking Vanya's hair.

"Just rest... I'll be right here."

Vanya looks at her... there was a little relief in her eyes... a little tiredness too.

Pakhi..."

"Yes?"

"Please... don't go..." There was fear in Vanya's voice.

Pakhi stares at him for a few seconds... then says with a forced smile, "Don't worry... nothing will happen right now... just go to sleep."

Vanya slowly closes her eyes.
Her breathing slowly becomes steady.

A few minutes later...
Vanya drifts into a deep sleep.

Pakhi slowly places her hand on the bed... and quietly stands up.

She looks at Vanya one last time... her eyes filled with both guilt and anger.

Pakhi slowly opens the door and steps out.

Her brother was standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall... his arms folded... tension clearly visible on his face.

As soon as Pakhi steps out... her brother immediately straightens up.

"How is she?" she asked in a low, serious voice.

Pakhi remains silent for a second... then speaks softly,

"The doctor says she'll be fine... but..."
Her voice becomes heavy.

Her brother looks at her face carefully.

"Pakhi... tell me the truth... what happened?"

Pakhi's eyes begin to fill with tears... but this time there's anger behind those tears.

"I know... she's lying..."

Her brother's expression instantly hardens.

"It means someone did it..."

Pakhi nods slowly.
"There was fear in her eyes, brother... it wasn't a fear that would go away..."

A heavy silence falls between the two of them in the corridor.

Pakhi's brother clenched his jaw... protective anger burning in his eyes.

"Whatever it is..."
He said in a low but dangerous tone,
"I'll find it."

Pakhi looked at him... and for the first time, felt a little safe.

"Me too..." he said firmly.

Both silently looked towards the door of the hospital room... where Vanya was sleeping... completely unaware... that a storm was about to begin for her.

There was a heavy silence in the hospital corridor...
Pakhi and her brother were still standing outside the room... when the sharp sound of heels echoed from the end of the corridor.

Tak...Tak...Tak...
Pakhi and her brother automatically looked in that direction.

A woman was walking towards them with quick steps... a simple yet elegant cotton saree... a neatly tied bun... a mix of panic in her eyes and strong authority on her face.

As she approached... their gaze stopped directly at the door of the hospital room.

"Where is my...daughter?"

Her voice was slightly trembling... but it also held a strange command.

"Aunty..." Pakhi says softly.

Vanya's mother immediately comes to Pakhi and grabs her shoulders.

"Pakhi... is Vanya alright? What happened to him? How did it happen? You guys were with him, right?"

Her questions came one after another... as if fear was unable to control her.
Pakhi's eyes fill with tears...
"Aunt... Vanya... is still sleeping... The doctor said she'll be fine..."

Vanya's mother's shoulders relax slightly upon hearing this... but the fear in her eyes hasn't gone away.
"Can I see it?"
Pakhi nods and slowly opens the door.

Pakhi nods and slowly opens the door.

As soon as they enter the room, Vanya's mother's gaze falls on the bed...
Vanya was lying on the white hospital bed... red bruises on her cheeks... a bandage on her forehead... and an IV drip.

In that moment, time seems to stop.

Vanya's mother slowly walks over to her... her steps heavy.

Reaching the bed, she sits on the chair... and with a trembling hand, softly touches Vanya's hair.

"My child..." her voice breaks.

Tears silently begin to fall from her eyes... but she quickly controls herself by biting her lips.

"You used to say... everything is fine in college..." she whispers with a slight broken smile.

Her gaze settles on Vanya's wounded face... and this time, there's not just pain in her eyes... but anger as well.

She slowly stands up... and turns to Pakhi.

"Tell me the truth, Pakhi..."

The atmosphere in the room instantly becomes tense.

Pakhi becomes a little nervous.

"Aunt... she... Vanya was saying that she fell..."

"Pakhi."
This time her voice was completely calm... but dangerously calm.

"I am her mother... I can recognize her fear."

Tears well up in Pakhi's eyes... she looks down. Vanya's mother takes a deep breath... then speaks in a composed tone...
"Whoever did this to my daughter..."
Her eyes fill with steely determination.
"I won't let him go."

Silence falls over the room.

Pakhi's brother looks at them with respect and seriousness.

Vanya's mother sits down next to Vanya again and gently takes her hand in hers.

"I'm here now... no one will hurt my child..."
There was so much confidence in her voice... as if it wasn't a promise, but an oath.

Vanya moves slightly in her sleep... as if sensing her mother's presence.

Vanya's mother places a soft kiss on her forehead... and places her hand on her cheek.

There were still tears in his eyes... but a storm was brewing inside him.

Soft morning light was entering the room through a gap in the curtains...

Vanya's eyelids slowly fluttered... her vision began to clear from the blur. She felt someone's warm and protective grip on her hand.

"Child..."
That faintly familiar, loving voice reached her ears.

Vanya slowly turned her face in that direction... and as soon as her eyes fell on her mother... tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

"Mother..."

Her voice was so soft, as if it were coming out with her breath.

Vanya's mother immediately leaned closer to her and stroked her hair lovingly.

"Shhh... I'm right here... my baby..."
Tears had welled up in her eyes, but she held her composure.

Vanya raised her hand and held hers. Her grip was weak, but it held both fear and relief.

"Mom... when did you... come?"

"Just... a little while ago... Pakhi called," her mother said softly.

Vanya remains silent for a second... then asks softly...
"Does Papa... know?"

Vanya's mother's expression changes slightly... she takes a deep breath.
"No... I haven't told him yet."

Vanya looks at her in confusion.
"Why... why?"

"I thought... he's in an important meeting right now. If he knew right now..."

She pauses for a second... worry wells up in her eyes.

"You know... how scared he gets... and what all he does in anger."

She softly touched Vanya's cheek.
"I didn't want him to take such an extreme step without knowing the full truth."

Vanya nods her head softly... but there's both guilt and fear in her eyes.

The room remains silent for a while...
Then Vanya's mother's tone turns serious.
"Now tell me the truth, Vanya."

Vanya's body instantly stiffens.
"Who did all this?"
As this question floats in the air... the scene of the washroom flashes before Vanya's eyes like a flashback... Shruti's devil smile... pain... fear... helplessness...

Her breathing quickens.
"M... Mom... no one did anything..."

Her voice trembles.
"I... I fell..."

Vanya's mother was quietly observing her.
"Vanya..."
Her voice was calm... but there was clear authority in it.
"Look me in the eye and say it."

Vanya looks at her slowly... but there was so much fear in her eyes that she can't hold it for long.
"I... I fell..." she repeats again... this time in an even weaker voice.

Her fingers grip the blanket tightly... her knuckles turn white.

Vanya's mother seemed to understand everything.
She took his hand and held it in both hers.
"Okay..."
She said softly... but a storm was clearly brewing in her eyes.
"Don't say anything right now... tell me when you're ready."

Relief and guilt mix in Vanya's eyes.

A few seconds later...
"You're coming home with me now," Vanya's mother says in a firm tone.

Vanya immediately shakes her head.
"Mom... no... my classes... attendance... exams..."
There's panic in her voice.
"I can't miss college..."

Vanya's mother's patience finally begins to wear thin.

"Classes?"
Her voice raises slightly.
"Have you seen your condition? There are marks on your face... you're on a hospital bed... and you have classes?"

Tears well up in Vanya's eyes.
"Mom... please... I'll be fine... I'll manage..."

"That's it."
This time her mother's voice becomes completely stern.
"This time I won't listen to a single word you say."

A heavy silence falls over the room.
"You'll go home. You'll rest. And until I'm satisfied that you're safe... you won't go to college."

Vanya stares helplessly at them.

"Mom... please..." she almost whispers.

Vanya's mother leans in closer and gently holds her face.

"I'm not punishing you, Vanya..."
Her voice suddenly softens.

"I'm protecting you."

Tears silently fall from Vanya's eyes.

"I've felt the fear of losing you once... there would have been a second time... not anymore."

Her mother's voice breaks.

"I can't feel that again."

Vanya's resistance slowly melts away.

She closes her eyes... and just nods her head

slightly.

Vanya's mother kisses her forehead in relief... and continues to softly stroke her hair.

The room was now silent... but there was a protective warmth in that silence.

And in Vanya's mother's mind... only one thought was swirling-

'Whoever hurt my daughter... I will find them.'

After 4 Days Later

The college corridor was filled with the usual bustle... students were chatting in groups... some laughing... some running towards classes...
Just then, Pakhi and Aryan entered through the corridor entrance.

Pakhi's face was visibly dull... she spoke softly, "Brother... college feels strange without Vanya... so lonely..."

Aryan gave a slight, sad smile.
"Yes... when she was around, she would find a way to laugh in every situation..."
The two remained silent for a few seconds... as if lost in the same memory.

Pakhi glances around... and notices that many students are looking at her... whispering... some people were even laughing lightly.

Pakhi asks uncomfortably, "Brother... why are these people staring at us?"

Aryan slowly casts his sharp gaze over everyone.
As soon as his eyes meet those of the students... they all immediately fall silent... and pretend as if nothing has happened.

Pakhi's irritation grows.
Just then, her gaze falls on the other end of the corridor...
Kabir... his gang... and Shruti.
They were laughing while looking at something on a phone screen... the mockery was clearly visible in their expressions.

Pakhi's jaw tightens... she rolls her eyes. Aryan silently taps his shoulder... as if signaling him to stay calm.

The two are about to cross their path...
Just then, one of the boys in Kabir's gang speaks loudly enough-

"Look... this is the same guy who was carrying Moti in his arms the other day..."

Pakhi and Aryan both stop together.
Aryan slowly turns towards the boy... raw anger clearly burning in his eyes.
He's about to take a step forward... but Pakhi immediately grabs his wrist and stops him.

The other boy smiles and says, "Yes, brother... look at that Moti's audacity... she was hitting on our Kabir... and then later she was in someone else's arms..."
Some of the boys in the gang burst out laughing.

Pakhi's patience breaks.

"Watch your tongue when you speak!"
Her voice trembled with anger.

Shruti looks at Pakhi with a sarcastic smile.

"Oh please... We're just telling the truth."

Aryan's expression turns dangerously calm... which was the biggest sign of his anger.

He slowly removes Pakhi's hand... and goes straight to stand in front of the boys.

"One more time... did you use a foul word for Vanya..."

His voice was low... but every word felt like a dagger.

"Then you guys won't be able to speak."

Complete silence descends on the corridor.

Kabir had been standing silent until now... but now his gaze is fixed on Aryan.

Kabir's expression was unreadable... but the irritation in his eyes was clearly visible.

The first boy in the gang says with attitude,

"What will you do otherwise?"

Aryan stares at him without blinking.

"Try it and see."

The situation was almost about to explode.

Just then Pakhi intervenes.

"Brother... please... Vanya doesn't want any more problems..."
Aryan's fists were clenched tightly... but he takes a deep breath after hearing Pakhi's words... and retreats.

Aryan was about to turn to take Pakhi away...

Just then, another boy from the gang spoke in a sarcastic tone, "He's protecting her like he's her husband."

A faint laugh echoed through the gang.

The first boy immediately added, "But who would marry that fat woman, brother?"
This time, loud laughter erupted in the corridor.

Aryan stopped.
His back was turned toward them... but his shoulders were stiff.
He slowly turned...
There was so much raw anger in his eyes that Pakhi flinched for a second.

Aryan rushes over and grabs the boy's collar... and shoves him against the wall.

"Watch your tongue and speak,"
his voice was dangerously low.

The rest of the gang immediately try to free him.

"Hey brother, let him go!"

Then a cold, authoritative voice rings out-
"Let him go."
Kabir!

Everyone instantly falls silent.

Aryan's gaze falls on Kabir.

Kabir steps forward... and grabs Aryan's hand and removes it from the boy's collar.

Aryan glares at Kabir, clenching his jaw.

"Tell your lackeys... don't talk nonsense like that about Vanya again,"
Aryan snaps angrily.
"Next time, it won't take me long to speak."

Kabir's eyes narrow.
"Why are you so angry?"
Kabir speaks in a sarcastic tone.
"Everyone knows... what your relationship is with that piggy."

Pakhi looks at Kabir in shock.

Kabir continues, "She pretends to be innocent in front of me... and the next moment, she's sitting there, clinging to your lap."

Before he can complete his words-

THAPP!!!

Aryan's punch lands squarely on Kabir's face.
Kabir stumbles back a step... a little blood comes out of the corner of his lips.

A gasp echoes through the corridor.
Aryan's anger is now uncontrollable.

Aryan's anger was now out of control.

"Scoundrel!"

Aryan yells.

"How dare you point fingers at Vanya and my relationship?!"

"She's my cousin!"

"I'm your sister, I'm yours!"

Kabir's expression instantly darkens.

He immediately grabs Aryan's collar.

"Shut your nose," Kabir growls.

"I know what's going on between you and that idiot."

Aryan also grabs Kabir's collar.

"Shut your dirty mouth!"

His voice trembled with anger.

"She's my sister!"

The two start pushing each other... the situation was almost about to turn into a full-blown fight.

Pakhi and some of the gang members intervene and barely separate them.

Kabir wipes his bleeding lip... and looks at Aryan with angry eyes.
"If she's your sister..."
Kabir says in a cold voice...
"Then why were you carrying her around?"

Aryan's anger is about to explode again...
Pakhi immediately steps in front of him... and stops him.

Heavy tension hung in the air in the corridor...

And both boys were looking at each other as if this rivalry would never end.

Aryan's anger hadn't subsided yet.

"Shut up," Aryan says through gritted teeth.

"When was I carrying Vanya around in my arms?"

Kabir pulls out his phone with a sarcastic laugh.

"Shut up... We all saw you with that moti. There's proof too."

He unlocks the phone screen... scrolls for a few seconds... then hands it to Aryan.

"Sure."

Aryan grabs the phone...
There was a photo on the screen.

The photo showed Aryan's back... and Vanya was lying unconscious in his arms. Vanya's face was half visible... her hair was messy... and her hand was hanging lifelessly down.

Aryan freezes for a second.
He rubs his forehead... in disbelief.
"This... who took the photo?"

Kabir says with a mocking smile, "So the truth has come out, right?"

Aryan's patience finally breaks.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
His voice echoes through the corridor.
"There's nothing like that between Vanya and me!"

He hands Kabir the phone back.
"Go ask the person who took this photo if they saw the entire scene at that time."

Kabir narrows his eyes.
"Stop making excuses."

"I don't need to make any excuses!" Aryan yells.
The students standing in the corridor were now clearly feeling the tension. Aryan takes a step forward

He moves forward... there was not only anger in his eyes... but hurt as well.

"The day this photo was taken..."

His voice becomes heavy.

"Vanya was found unconscious in the washroom that day."

Pakhi's eyes immediately fill with tears.

Some of the gang members become awkward.

Kabir's expression tightens... but he remains silent.

Aryan continues-
"There were marks on her face... scratches on her hands... and she wasn't even conscious."

Complete silence descends on the corridor.

Pakhi speaks softly,
"We took her to the hospital..."

Kabir's fingers tighten slowly... but he doesn't say anything.

Aryan's voice darkens.
"The doctor said... she suffered both shock and physical assault."

These words cause a slight commotion in the gang.

Shruti's face tightens for a second... but she immediately assumes a normal expression.

Kabir's jaw tightens.

Aryan looks directly into Kabir's eyes and says, "The photo you're ascribing to... that was the moment when I rescued her and took her to the hospital."

Kabir stares at Aryan for a few seconds.

A slight uncertainty flickers in his eyes for the first time.

Pakhi speaks with anger and pain, "His condition that day was unbearable... and you guys are making fun of het here!"

The students standing in the corridor were now looking at each other uncomfortably.

Aryan takes a deep breath... then speaks in a cool voice-
"Vanya is still in trauma... she's afraid, unable to tell the truth."

His eyes were burning with anger.
"But whoever did this to her... I won't spare them."

Kabir's expression becomes unreadable.

Kabir looks at Aryan.

This time, there was less anger in his eyes... and more.
Perhaps doubt.
Perhaps guilt.
Or maybe both.

Pakhi grabs Aryan's hand.

"Come on, brother..."

Aryan gives Kabir a final warning glance... then walks away with Pakhi.

The sound of voices slowly returns in the corridor...
The gang members stand in awkward silence.

Kabir stands there... absolutely still.

Aryan's words echo in his mind-
'Physical assault...'
'I was found unconscious...'
'Trauma...'
Kabir's fist slowly tightens.

And Shruti, standing at a distance... observing Kabir's expression from a side glance.

For the first time, tension flashes in her eyes.

Scene -
College Canteen

The canteen was bustling with activity... students were sitting in groups... a faint chatter and the sound of cutlery was heard in the background.

Pakhi and Aryan were sitting together at a corner table.

Cold drinks lay untouched in front of them... but their focus was elsewhere.

Pakhi was aimlessly twirling a straw... Aryan was tapping his fingers on the table... both were clearly missing Vanya.

Just then, suddenly, someone's shadow falls on their table.

Pakhi and Aryan both look up at the same time.

Kabir!
He was standing in front of their table... his breathing was slightly heavy... as if he had come here quickly.

"Kabir?" Aryan's tone instantly cools.

Kabir speaks directly,
"Where is Vanya?"

Pakhi and Aryan look at each other... then at Kabir.

Pakhi's expression immediately changes to irritation.

"What do you mean?"

Kabir puts his hand on his forehead in frustration... takes a deep breath... as if trying to control himself.

"Please, Pakhi..."
His voice was completely different from his usual cold tone... a little heavy... a little restless.

"Tell me where Vanya is."

Pakhi rolls her eyes.
"Why?"
Her tone becomes sarcastic.
"What difference does it make to you?"

Kabir's jaw tightens.
"Because I have to meet him."

Aryan leans forward a little in his chair... a warning clear in his eyes.
"For what?"
Aryan speaks softly but sharply.
"So that I can insult him one more time?"

Kabir reacts instantly.

"I-"
He stops... as if words are failing him.

Pakhi claps sarcastically.
"Wow... what a performance you gave that day in the canteen."
Tears were welling up in her eyes... but her tone was still aggressive.
"I made fun of him in front of everyone... threw his food on the ground... called him 'Piggy'..."

Kabir's gaze shifts to the ground.
Pakhi's voice starts to break... but she continues-

"After what has happened because of you, you don't even have the right to take his name."

Bir's head jerks slightly... as if his chest tightens upon hearing this.

Aryan had been quietly observing Kabir.

Kabir asks softly...
"She... is okay?"

Pakhi laughs bitterly.
"Are you worried about her now?"

Kabir is at a loss for words.
Her fingers grip the edge of the table tightly.

Aryan finally speaks-
"What will you do with her, Kabir?"

Kabir remains silent for a few seconds... then speaks softly-
"I... want to talk to her."

Pakhi responds immediately-
"I'm late."

Kabir's eyes lock on Pakhi. Pakhi's tone now becomes completely serious.

Pakhi:
"Vanya isn't here."

Kabir immediately looks up.
"What do you mean?"

Pakhi takes a deep breath.
"Her mother took her and went to her city."

Kabir freezes in shock:
"She's gone... she's gone?"

Aryan clenches his jaw.

Aryan:
"And when will she come back... or if she will come back at all... I don't even know."

Regret was clearly visible in Kabir's eyes.

Aryan gets up from his chair and stands in front of Kabir.

Kabir was looking into Aryan's eyes.

"He's already messed up a lot, so let him be in peace."

A few students in the canteen were secretly glancing at them... but there was a heavy silence around the table.

Kabir finally speaks softly-
"I... I just want to see him once."

Pakhi's expression, instead of softening, hardens.

"No."

Straight. Clear. Final.

Hurt flickers in Kabir's eyes for a second.

Pakhi stands up from her chair and looks at Aryan.

"Come on, brother."

Aryan gives Kabir a final warning look... then leaves with Pakhi.

Kabir remains standing there.

The canteen noises return to normal... but Kabir

Kabir slowly sits down on the chair... and stares blankly at the table.

His fists slowly tighten.

As if guilt... regret... and anger are building within him simultaneously.

Scene Change
A dark room...

There was only one source of light in the room-a dim yellow bulb hanging from the ceiling... which was swaying slightly. Its light was creating strange shadows in the room.

Three chairs were placed in the middle of the room...
And three girls were tightly tied to those chairs.

Their hands were tied with ropes behind the chairs...
Their feet were also tied...
Their eyes were covered with cloth...
Their mouths were also tightly covered with cloth...
The only sounds in the room were their muffled cries and the faint scratching of the chair ropes.

The three girls were trembling with fear...
as if they had no idea what was about to happen to them.

Suddenly...

The door opened with a "click."
A little white light from the corridor streamed into the darkness of the room.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoes through the room...
Two men enter.

Behind them, a third man enters with slow, confident steps.

As that man enters...
the other two men respectfully step aside.

That man sits down on a chair in front...
with his legs crossed... in a completely relaxed posture.

The light wasn't directly on his face...
only his chest was visible...

Black shirt... sleeves folded...
and one hand resting on the arm of the chair.

The silence in the room becomes heavy.

That man gestures only with his fingers.

The men accompanying him understand immediately.

The two guards step forward...
And one by one, they remove the cloths covering the mouths and eyes of the three girls.

As soon as the cloths are removed...
All three girls start breathing heavily...
Their eyes were completely swollen from crying.

One of them...
Shruti.
There was both fear and confusion in her eyes.

Her two friends were also crying uncontrollably.

Shruti starts looking around the room in panic...
But due to the dim light, she couldn't clearly see the face of the man sitting in front of her.

Shruti's voice was shaking.

Shruti:
"What... Who are you guys...? Why did you bring us here...?"

One of her friends starts crying loudly.

Friend:
"Please let us go... We didn't do anything..."

The room remains silent for a few seconds...

Then...
The man sitting in front of her slowly leans back on his chair.

Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest...
As if he was enjoying her fear.

Then the man leans forward a little...
The bulb shakes slightly...
And the light slowly slides towards his face.

Shruti narrows her eyes, trying to see his face...
As the light falls on his lips... his jawline... and then his eyes...
Shruti's eyes widen in shock.

Her lips tremble slightly.

Shruti whispers to me:
"...Kabir...?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly becomes heavy.

Kabir's eyes were cold... a completely emotionless look.

A dangerously calm expression settled on his lips.

Kabir was sitting comfortably in his chair, staring at Shruti...
as if the real game was about to begin.

Shruti's panicked voice echoed through the room.
Shruti, pinned to her chair, tried to move with a start.
"Kabir, what kind of a joke is this?! Tell your men to let us loose! This isn't funny at all!"
There was desperation in her voice... but there was still a hint of hope...
as if she was convinced this couldn't be true.

Kabir sat completely silent.
He didn't blink...
His expression didn't change...
He just stared straight at Shruti...
Cold... emotionless... dangerous.

One of Shruti's friends started crying. "Kabir... please... why are you scaring me... what have I done...?"

Kabir's fingers suddenly stop tapping on the armrest.

The silence in the room grows heavier.
Kabir stands slowly.
His chair makes a soft scraping sound on the floor.

He approaches Shruti in slow steps.
Shruti's face grows paler with each step.

Kabir stops right in front of her.
For a moment, he just stares at her.

Then...
Kabir bends slightly and comes to Shruti's eye level.

His voice was low... controlled... and dangerously calm.

"You guys want to go... what have you done...?"

Shruti nods sharply with tears in her eyes.

Kabir's jaw tightens.

"You... broke it with that."

The room fills with silence.

Shruti looks on, confused.

"W... whom...?"

Suddenly, anger flashes in Kabir's eyes.

"Vanya."

Shruti's heartbeat seems to stop for a second.

Kabir stands up straight and takes his phone out of his pocket.

He opens a video on his phone...

and signals the guards.

A guard holds the phone in front of Shruti.

The video shows CCTV footage of the college washroom corridor.

Shruti and her friends stare at the screen in shock.

The footage clearly shows...
After Venya enters the bathroom, Shruti and her friend enter the bathroom and a few minutes later, they emerge with Punuk. Two minutes after they leave, Pakhi enters the bathroom. A few moments later, Aryan, in a panic, runs towards the bathroom and goes inside. Aryan takes Venya in his arms and comes out.

Kabir's voice now begins to go out of control.

"I have seen the entire footage... every second... every movement."

He suddenly kicks the chair.
The chair falls with a loud thud.

Shruti screams in fear.

Kabir angrily says, "You guys made her fall... beat her... mentally tortured her!"

Her breathing had become heavy.
"Do you even know... how long she was lying on the floor that day?!"

Shruti's face was wet with tears.
"Kabir... that was an accident... we-"

"SHUT UP!!"
Kabir's roaring voice echoes through the room.

Shruti and her friends fall silent in shock.

Kabir comes very close to Shruti and says, "It wasn't an accident. It was a plan."

Shruti's eyes fill with terror.

Kabir speaks in a slow, dangerous tone, "You were the one who poisoned my mind... Do you remember?"

Kabir speaks in a flashback tone, "You were the one who told me Vanya was in a relationship with Aryan...
You were the one who told me he was characterless...
You were the one who instigated me against him..."

Shruti's lips begin to tremble.

Kabir's face darkens with anger.

"And I... Idiot... I believed what you said."

He clenches his fist tightly.

"But when I saw the truth... when I saw the footage..."

Kabir's voice begins to crack... but his anger is making him more dangerous.

"Then I realized... who the monster is."

The only sound in the room was Shruti's cries.

Kabir comes very close to Shruti.

His hand grabs Shruti's chin and turns her face up.

Shruti's whole body is trembling.

Kabir says softly, "That day... Vanya was also scared like this, wasn't she?"

Shruti breaks down into uncontrollable tears.

"Kabir, please... I made a mistake... I made a mistake..."

Pain flashes in Kabir's eyes for a second...

Then it disappears completely.

Kabir stands up straight.

His voice becomes completely cold.

"You have to pay the price for your mistakes, Shruti."

The light bulb in the room flickers slightly again...
And the shadows deepen the fear of the three girls.

Kabir turns slowly...
As if he's already decided...
what will happen to them now.

Even the air in the room felt heavy.

Shruti and her two friends were tied to their chairs, crying uncontrollably.

Kabir stared at them silently for a few seconds.

There was that calm in his eyes that comes before a storm.

Kabir spoke softly, "How could you even think... that you could touch him?"

His voice was low... but there was an anger in it that sent chills down her spine.

Shruti's voice broke. "Kabir, please... we made a mistake... we were jealous... just... please let us go..."

Kabir gives a dry laugh.
"Jealous?"
He walks slowly around them.
"You guys shed his blood out of jealousy."

Shruti's friend hiccups and starts crying.
"Kabir, please... hand us over to the police... give us whatever punishment you want... just don't do all this..."

Kabir pauses.
A dangerous glint appears in his eyes.
"Police...?"
"Do you think the police can ruin your life as much as I can?" The three girls turn pale.

Kabir signals his men.
A guard places some files and a tablet on the table.

Kabir turns on the tablet... and turns it in front of Shruti.

On the screen, Shruti's father's business profile...
her friend's brother's job record...
his family details...
everything.

Shruti stares in shock.

Kabir says in a dangerously calm tone-
"Your life isn't just yours... it's your family's too."

Shruti shakes her head in panic.

"No, Kabir... please... don't bring them into this..."

Kabir's patience begins to snap.

Kabir's patience begins to wane.

"You put Vanya's family at risk that day!"

His voice suddenly becomes louder.

The light bulb in the room flickers.

Kabir runs a hand through his hair to control himself.

Then he leans in close to Shruti.

"Listen Shruti... after today..."

"You three's college is over."

"Your social reputation is over."

"Your fake popularity... is over."

Shruti's breath stops.

Kabir stands up straight.

"By tomorrow morning, proof of your harassment and assault will be everywhere."

Terror fills the eyes of the three girls.

"Kabir, please... we'll be ruined..."
Kabir coldly replies, "Exactly."

Only the sound of their cries echoed through the room.

Kabir stares at them for a few seconds.

Then he speaks, "When Vanya was scared... she had no mercy."

Shruti says through her tears, "Why are you doing so much for her?"
A deadly silence descends on the room.
Kabir glances sideways.

Obsession and guilt burn in his eyes.
"Because... I had the biggest hand in hurting her."

Shruti's friend cries and says, "Kabir, please... we made a mistake... we were just jealous..."

Kabir doesn't react.
Just a cold look.

Shruti's other friend panics, saying, "We didn't think her condition would get so bad... we were just scared..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly becomes heavy.

Kabir speaks softly.

"Were you just scared...?"

He slowly moves closer to Shruti.

So close that Shruti could feel his breath.

"I saw the footage from outside the washroom that day." The three girls seemed to have turned pale.

Kabir's voice now becomes low and dangerous-
"You three dragged her... hit her... and when she fainted..."
He doesn't complete the sentence.

The silence in the room explodes.

Shruti breaks down in uncontrollable tears.
"Kabir, please... forgive us... we will never go near him again..."

Kabir gives a cold smile.
"Exactly. You will never go near him."

Kabir looks at his guards.

"Lights off."

The next second, the room is plunged into darkness.

Only Shruti and her friends' frightened breathing can be heard.

Then...
The sound of a metal chain comes from the corner of the room.

Shruti screams hysterically-
"KABIR, PLEASE!!"

Kabir's calm voice echoes through the darkness-
"Every single one of her screams... I remember them."

"And today... you guys will remember too... what it means to break someone."

The sound of the door closing is heard.

After that...

Only their screams...

And the heavy footsteps of the guards.

Scene fades.

Some time later...

Kabir stands in the corridor.

His knuckles are red with blood.

A guard approaches him.

"Sir... what should we do with them?"

Kabir closes his eyes... Vanya's face appears before his eyes.

Then he says softly, "Ensure... they stay alive."

The guard is confused.

Kabir opens his eyes.

"But... their lives will never be normal."

The guard nods silently.

Kabir walks away...

But the same obsession still burns in his eyes.

Scene Shift - Vanya

A light evening breeze was blowing in the balcony. The sky was colored with shades of orange and pink... but Vanya's eyes lacked that peace.

Vanya was sitting on a chair near the railing, her chin resting on her knees, a slight sadness in her eyes.

Just then the door to the room quietly opens.
Vanya's mother enters, carrying a plate of food. She places the plate on the table and slowly sits down next to Vanya.

Her gaze immediately falls on Vanya's face.

"What happened, child...?"

Her tone was soft and concerned.

"Why are you so sad?"

She lovingly places her hand on Vanya's soft cheeks.

Vanya looks at her... then makes a slight pout.

"Mom... I'm feeling so bored here..."
There was a childish complaint in her voice.

"You and Dad are both busy working... and I'm alone all day... I got bored in just three weeks."

Vanya's mother laughs softly, noticing his pout.

"Oh... my baby seems bored?"

She says, stroking his hair lovingly.

"Then what should we do... hmm..."
Vanya looks at her with curious eyes.

Vanya's mother smiles and says, "Pakhi and Aryan are coming here two week."

Vanya freezes for a second...

Then her face lights up with excitement.

"Really, Mom?!"

She almost jumps out of her chair.

Vanya's mother pinches her cheeks softly, smiling.

"Yes... and that's not all..."
"We've also got you admitted to college here."

Vanya's eyes literally sparkle.

"So my baby won't be bored anymore... Her two best friends will be with her."

Vanya gives a bright, genuine smile... one she hasn't seen in a long time.

"Mom, you're the best..."

She leans in a little and rests her head on her shoulder.

Vanya's mother kisses her on the head... then picks up her plate from the table and offers it to her.

"Come on, stop the drama and eat."

Vanya takes the plate like an obedient child.

Just then, Vanya's mother casually says, "You have to go with me to meet Janvi Mummy this evening... and Veer is back too... he wants to meet you."

As soon as Veer's name is mentioned... Vanya's smile slows a bit.

Her spoon stops in mid-air.

Vanya's mother immediately notices.

"What happened, baby?"

Vanya remains silent for a second... then forces a smile.

"Nothing, Mom..."
She says in a slightly awkward tone, "It's just... I'm going to meet Veer for the first time... so I was thinking about him."

Vanya's mother carefully observes her... as if she feels Vanya is hiding something... but she doesn't press the moment.

She just gently strokes his hair.
"Veer is a very nice boy... you both will get comfortable soon."

Vanya nods slightly...
but a strange nervousness still flickers in her eyes.

The breeze continues to blow in the balcony...
And Vanya continues to eat silently...
As if some heavy thoughts are running through her mind.

After a while...

Standing in front of the room mirror, Vanya pauses for a moment, looking at herself.

She was wearing a deep olive green sari embroidered with small white floral embroidery, like soft flowers blooming in a quiet garden. The sari's fabric was soft, falling gracefully over her curves.

Her pallu slipped neatly off her shoulder and draped around her waist, accentuating her chubby elegance.

A white lace, full-sleeved blouse gave her look a classy and royal touch. She wore minimal jewelry: a delicate necklace and matching earrings, which highlighted her simplicity.

Her soft curls fell over her shoulders... and the light makeup made her rosy cheeks and glossy lips look even brighter.

Vanya smiled nervously for a second... then took a deep breath and left the room.

Stairs Scene

Vanya was slowly descending the stairs.

Both her mother and father were waiting for her in the hallway downstairs.

As soon as Vanya appeared before them, tears instantly welled up in her mother's eyes.

"My baby... she's grown so much..."
Her voice became emotional.

Vanya's father gently placed a hand on her shoulder to steady her... but pride and emotion were clearly visible in his eyes.

Vanya came down the stairs and stood before them.

"Mom..."
She says in a slightly complaining tone, "I'm going to meet him... not to get married..."

Vanya's mother smiles slightly... then wipes away her tears.

She takes out some kajal with her finger and applies a small black mark behind Vanya's ear.

"May no one cast an evil eye on my child..."

Vanya's father immediately says, "We won't let anyone cast an evil eye on her."

Vanya laughs softly, looking at them both.

Her father extends his hand

towards Vanya.

"Come on... Princess?"

Vanya places her hand in his with a bright smile.

"Let's go..."

Scene Change

Evening...
Five luxury cars pull up in front of a grand palace-like mansion.

Two guards open the gate... and the cars enter a huge marble driveway.

The mansion looked like a masterpiece of pure royal architecture... huge pillars... golden detailing... and the light from the crystal chandeliers hanging at the entrance gave the entire palace a fairytale-like glow.

Staff standing in two rows bowed respectfully and welcomed the guests.

The door to the middle car opens...
Vanya's father steps out first... then he extends his hand.

Vanya slowly steps out of the car...

The pallu of her saree ripples in the light breeze... and the golden lights of the mansion shine off her floral embroidery.

For a second, Vanya becomes slightly overwhelmed by her surroundings.

Such a grand welcome... so much splendor...
Her heart starts to beat a little faster.

Vanya's mother comes to her and gently holds her hand.

"Relax, child... everything will be fine..."

Vanya nods slightly.

But a strange, nervous excitement has already built up in her heart...

Because...
Today she was going to meet Veer for the first time.

The mansion's huge carved wooden doors slowly open.
The guards respectfully step aside... and Vanya enters with her mother and father.

As she steps into the hallway, Vanya's eyes literally widen.

The hall was so grand... that its ceiling itself resembled the dome of a palace. A huge crystal chandelier glowed in the center... the marble flooring shone like a mirror... the walls were adorned with royal paintings and antique decor.

Vanya slowly looked around...
"Is this... a house or a museum..." she says almost in a whisper.

Her mother smiles slightly... and gently holds Vanya's hand... as if sensing her nervousness.

The teens stop as they reach the center of the hall.

Two people were already standing in front of them.

A graceful middle-aged woman... whose personality exuded both natural royalty and warmth. She was wearing an elegant silk saree... and the softness in her eyes was clearly visible.

A tall, dignified man stood beside them... whose personality was calm and authoritative.

Both of them smiled warmly at them.

Vanya's mother and father stopped respectfully in front of them.

Just then, the woman, excited, rushed forward... and without waiting, hugged Vanya tightly.

"Oh my cutie..."
Her voice was full of affection.

"You finally remembered me..."

Vanya was a little surprised... then returned the hug with an awkward smile.

"Janvi Mama..."
She spoke in a soft tone.

Janvi Mama holds her face in both her hands and looks at her lovingly.

"Oh my God... you've become so adorable... the last time I saw you, you were this small..."
She makes a height sign with her hand.

Vanya smiles shyly.

"I'm still small, Mama..." she says, pouting.

Janvi Mama laughs.

"Not at all... You look like a princess now."

By then, that dignified mind also comes forward.

Vanya's father smiles and introduces him-
"Vanya... This is your Ashok Papa."

Ashok Papa places his hand on Vanya's head with a gentle smile.

"Be happy, son... We've been waiting for you at home for a long time."

Vanya smiles respectfully and greets him.

Janvi Mama grabs Vanya's hand again with excitement.

"By the way... There's another person who's been waiting for you the most..."

Vanya's heart starts to beat a little faster.
"Who...?" she asks softly.

Mama Janvi smiles mischievously.

"Veer."

Vanya freezes for a second.
Mama Janvi holds her hand and points towards the stairs.
"He's waiting for you upstairs in his room..., His room is the 4th room on the right side through Stairs go and meet him."

Vanya looks at her mother... as if silently asking for permission.

Her mother nods with a reassuring smile.

"Go, child..."

Vanya turns toward the stairs with a slightly nervous smile.

Her steps were slow and hesitant...

Her heart was beating faster with each step.

She couldn't quite make sense of it...
It was just a normal meeting...
Or was a new chapter about to begin in her life.

Vanya slowly climbs the stairs and reaches the first floor.

Soft yellow lights were burning in the hallway, creating a warm glow on the marble floor. Her heart was already beating fast.
She turns right toward the corridor...
One... two... three... and then the fourth door.

Vanya stops in front of that door.
Her hands have grown a little cold... She takes a deep breath... then knocks softly.

A deep, calm voice is heard from inside the room-

"Come in."

Vanya's eyebrows instantly furrow.
Her heart skips a second.

(Vanya's POV)
"That... voice... why does it sound like Kabir's?
No... what would he be doing here...
I... I can't even think about him anymore... my world has already been separated from him..."

(end of POV)

Vanya opens the door with hesitant steps.
The room's interior was elegant and luxurious... but the lights were intentionally dimmed.

A boy stood in front of a large window... his back to Vanya.
The window curtains were half open... and the dim evening light outlined his silhouette.

Vanya speaks softly-
"Veer...?"
There is a two-second silence.

Then the boy says in a calm voice-
"Sit down."

Without turning, he gestures towards the couch to the side.

The light was so dim that Vanya couldn't see his face clearly.

Vanya quietly closes the door to the room... then slowly walks towards the couch and sits down.

A strange silence spreads in the room.

Vanya nervously twists her fingers...
She felt as if the boy was observing her... even without turning.

A few seconds later...
The boy speaks softly, "Are you comfortable here?"

Vanya is a little surprised... then softly replies, "Yes... I mean... it's all a little new... but it's fine..."

Then silence.
Vanya musters courage and asks, "When did you... come here?"

The boy, looking out the window, says, "It's been a while..."
There was a strange depth in his voice... as if every word was carefully controlled.

Vanya's heart starts to feel uneasy again.

He doesn't know why... but that voice is disturbing him... as if an old memory is forcefully surfacing.

Vanya slowly shifts on the couch.

"You... wanted to meet me?"

This time the boy pauses.

Then he speaks softly-
"Yes..."
A heavy silence fills the room again.

The boy standing near the window finally turns slightly... but his face still remains in shadow.

His gaze was clearly fixed on Vanya.

"I... should have met you a long time ago."

Vanya is confused.

"First...?" she whispers.

The boy slowly takes a step towards her...
The dim light of the room makes his outline more intense.

Vanya's heartbeat was pounding uncontrollably.

She didn't know why...
But a strange fear... and curiosity were growing within her simultaneously.

The room was still dimly lit... a faint sandalwood fragrance lingered in the air, making the atmosphere both calm and heavy.

The boy standing near the window slowly moved towards the side table. He picked up the glass of water kept there... and leaned against the wall, slowly sipping.

His face was still in shadow...
But Vanya could clearly feel it... his gaze was fixed on her.

Vanya gathered her courage.

"What do you... what do you mean...?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

Veer lightly twirls the glass between his fingers... as if lost in thought.

Then he says in a calm tone, "You... you'll find out soon."

Vanya's heartbeat quickens.

Her palms grow slightly sweaty.
The silence in the room feels heavier.

A few seconds later...

Veer says again, "So... I found out you got admission to the college here."

Vanya sits up a little straighter.

"Ji... wow... I've got..."

Her voice was clearly shaking... and she seemed to notice.

The boy slowly moves away from the window and takes a step toward the center of the room.

"Before this... you used to study at another college... right?"

Vanya freezes for a second... then speaks in a hesitant tone-
"Yes... I used to study..."

The boy places the glass of water on the table.
The faint sound of the glass echoes in the room.

Then he asks softly-
"There... did you like anyone?"

As this question spreads in the air... Vanya's breathing stops for a moment.

Something flashes before her eyes and passes by...

Canteen...
Laughter...
Insult...
Tiffin...
Tears...

Vanya clears her throat.

"Whoa... I don't want to hide anything from you..."
Her voice was now slightly low and fragile.
"I... liked a boy there... but... nothing happened between us..."

Silence spreads through the room.

The boy stood completely still...
As if he was listening not just to her words... but to her emotions as well.

"I liked it..."
He repeats softly.

"How much did I like it...?"

Vanya's fingers clutch tightly.

"Just... so much... that I... was happy to see him..."

A slight pain flickers in her eyes.

"So much... that I would do anything for just one of his smiles..."

The boy slowly takes another step towards her.

The dim light faintly outlines his shoulders.

"Then... you suddenly changed colleges...?"
His voice was calm... but the intensity hidden within it was clearly felt.

Vanya's eyes automatically fixate on the floor.

"Something... things... happened..."
Her voice begins to break.

"What... I had to forget..."

A heavy pause falls in the room.

The boy stares at her silently for a few seconds.

Then he speaks softly-
"Did you forget...?"

Vanya's eyelashes tremble.

She can't answer.

Her silence is her answer.

The air in the room thickens...
as if some unspoken emotions are silently colliding between the two.

"What difference does it make...? It's all over..."
Vanya speaks softly, her eyes piercing. Her voice was a mix of fatigue and pain.

Just then...
She hears the faint sound of footsteps approaching her.

Vanya's heart suddenly starts beating faster.

She slowly raises her head and looks at the boy... who has now come very close.

Dim light falls on her face...
and Vanya's breathing stops for a moment.

"Kabir..."
His name comes out of her lips as a faint whisper in shock.

She immediately stands up... but while retreating, her back hits the wall.

Her eyes widen in disbelief.

"You... here...? how..."

She can't even contain her shock...
Kabir suddenly comes very close to her.
There was something raw, something painful, and something possessive burning in her eyes.

The very next moment...
Kabir places his lips on hers.

Vanya freezes completely.

Her mind seems to stop working.

Kabir's grip on her waist tightens... as if he doesn't want to let her go.

His kiss was intense... years of suppressed emotion seemed to come out in that one moment.

Vanya was in shock, unable to react...
Just then, she felt a slight pain on her lips.

Her breath came out in a jerk... and she instinctively opened her mouth slightly.

The sound of their uneven breathing echoed through the room...
Vanya's hands gripped Kabir's shoulders...she didn't even realize it.

Her fingers tightened...as if she was trying to steady herself.

After a few moments...
Kabir slowly broke the kiss... but his forehead still touched Vanya's.

Kabir slowly breaks the kiss... but his forehead is still touching Vanya's forehead.

Their breathing was still uneven... the only sound in the room was their heavy breathing.

Vanya's eyes were wide with shock... her mind was still trying to process what had just happened.

The next moment...
Vanya suddenly pushes Kabir away.
She stands, leaning against the wall... her lips slightly trembling... confusion and disbelief clearly visible in her eyes.

"You... you... how are you here...?"
Her voice was shaking.
She quickly glanced around the room... as if trying to confirm the truth.
"Veer... where is he?"
Her breathing quickened.
"I... I came to meet Veer... what are you doing here...?"

Kabir stared at her silently.
There was an intense gaze in her eyes... as if he was absorbing her every reaction.

Vanya's heart began to pound in panic.

"Answer, Kabir!"
This time his voice becomes a little louder... but the fear in him is evident.
"Where is Veer...?"

Kabir slowly stands up straight.
His jaw tightens... then he speaks in a calm but heavy tone-
"You came to meet Veer..."
She takes a step toward him.
"...and you are meeting him."

Vanya is confused.
"What do you mean...?"

A strange depth grows in Kabir's eyes.
"Veer..."
He pauses... then says softly-
"I am."

Vanya turns into a statue.
Her mind can't even process that sentence.

"No... no..."
She slowly shakes her head in no.

"You're lying..."

Kabir's expression becomes unreadable.

"Sometimes... the truth is more painful than a lie, Vanya."

The silence in the room grows heavy again...

And along with the shock in Vanya's eyes, memories of old wounds slowly surface.

Vanya slowly shakes her head... disbelief clearly visible in her eyes.

"No... you're not Veer... I... I'll ask Mama Janvi right now..."

She's about to turn...
Just then Kabir grabs her waist.

His grip was strong... but not at all painful.

"Calm down... I'll explain..."

Vanya immediately tries to get away from him... her hands land on Kabir's wrists... he tries his best to push her away.

"Stay away from me!"

Her voice was filled with both anger and fear.
"Don't tell me these lies!"

But Kabir refuses to let her go.
His voice breaks a little for the first time-
"I... I know I did something very wrong... but please... let me explain... I will explain everything..."

Vanya was still struggling.

"I don't want to hear anything from you... let go of me!"

Kabir pulls her closer... his grip feels protective, not forceful.
"Shhh..."
His voice now becomes slow and heavy.
"I know you're very angry... you can hit me... you can do whatever you want... but please... just listen to me once..."

Vanya's struggles gradually slow down.

She looks at Kabir's face...
There was regret in his eyes... pain... and a deep love that he wasn't even trying to hide.

Vanya unknowingly takes a deep breath.

I don't know why... but seeing Kabir like this, her heart melts a little.

"...what do you want to explain?"

Her voice has now become soft.

"And... how are you, Veer...?"

Kabir slowly lets go of her waist... as if to give her space.

Then he gently holds both of Vanya's hands.

"Allow me..."
He leads her to the bed.

Vanya hesitates a little... but then sits on the bed.

Kabir sits in front of her... near her knees.

His grip was still on Vanya's hands... but this time it felt like a silent request.

Kabir remains silent for a few seconds... as if gathering courage.

Kabir takes a deep breath... as if he's gathering courage before uttering each word.

"Veer... that's my name... but no one calls me that except Mom and Dad..."

He was carefully observing Vanya's facial expressions... confusion and shock were clearly visible in her eyes.

"Due to studies, I was sent to a college in another city... and that's where... we both met..."

A slight nostalgic smile appears on Kabir's lips.

"You... when I first saw you... I'm telling you the truth... you seemed really cute to me..."
Vanya's eyes widen in shock.
"You... did you really think...?"
She says softly... then quickly averts her gaze.
"I thought..."
Her voice slowly begins to break.

Then she tries to control her emotions.
"What do these things mean now...?"
There was a deep pain in her voice.
"You've already done a lot..."

Kabir's face turns guilty.

He gently takes Vanya's face in his hands and turns it towards him.
Tears had welled up in Kabir's eyes as well.

"I... am sorry..."
His voice grows heavy.

"I made a lot of mistakes... I know they're unforgivable... but please... let me explain... I had a reason... for behaving like this..."

Vanya's eyes fill with anger and tears.

"Why...?"
she says, almost breaking down.
"So, for some reason, you made fun of me in front of everyone...?"
Her voice trembled.

"Do you know what I felt at that time...? I was so humiliated..."

Kabir immediately wiped away her tears... with tears in his own eyes.

"I am sorry... I am truly sorry..."

His voice literally pleaded.

"Please... you can hit me... punish me as much as you want... but listen to me once..."

Vanya lowered her gaze... and began to sob softly.

Kabir gently took both of her hands in his.

"I... I was unconscious at that time..."

The guilt was clear in her voice.
"I... I started to like you... a lot..."
Vanya looks at him slowly.

Kabir continues... There was a strange mix in his voice-love, sadness, and anger at himself.

"Your teasing me... following me... bringing me lunch... that stupid caring of yours... everything..."

Tears begin to gather in Vanya's eyes again.

Kabir's jaw tightens... his eyes suddenly fill with anger.

"Par... Shruti, that... bitch..."

His voice suddenly darkens.

"She told me you were in a relationship with Karan..."

Kabir's hands tighten unknowingly.

"He also showed me a lot of photos of you two..."
Kabir's voice cracks.
"And I... felt... you betrayed me..."
A heavy silence falls over the room.

Vanya's face turns pale...
And shock, pain, and disbelief flash through her eyes...

Vanya steps back in shock.
"What...? Did he... Shruti... did all this...?"
Her voice was shaking... as if she still couldn't believe it.

Kabir takes a heavy breath... as if every word is a confession to him.
"Yes... he told me..."

Vanya's face slowly begins to fill with anger.
"What did he say...?"

She asks through clenched teeth.

Kabir closes his eyes and says...
"He said... that you and Aryan... have slept together..."

Vanya's mouth opens in shock with a gasp. His eyes filled with tears instantly... but this time he was more insulted and angry than pained.

Kabir speaks softly...
"I know... I shouldn't have trusted him... but I saw you with Aryan many times..."

He tightens his fists.
"I... was jealous... and hurt... and I... trusted Shruti..."

Vanya's patience breaks.
"Why didn't you ask me once...?"

Her voice echoes throughout the room.

Kabir immediately lowers his gaze... guilt clearly written on his face.
"I... was crazy..."
His voice becomes soft and broken. "I was angry... my heart was broken... and I started ignoring you..."

Vanya's tears are now falling freely.
Kabir continues...
"But you... you just wouldn't leave me..."
He looks at Vanya... with mixed emotions in his eyes.

"There was only one thing on my mind... If you're with Aryan... then why are you following me...?"
Kabir runs his hand through his hair and sighs in frustration.
"And Shruti... she was constantly poisoning my mind... every time... every day..."

Vanya stares at him in disbelief.

Kabir's voice grows heavier. "She would show me doctored photos of the two of you... make up fake stories... and I... I was so blinded that... I never once tried to see the truth in your eyes..."
A painful silence descends on the room.

Vanya clutches her chest... as if she's finding it difficult to breathe.
"You mean... you doubted my character..."
Her voice is almost a whisper.

Kabir immediately moves towards her.

"No, Vanya... I-"
"DON'T...!"
Vanya raises her hand and stops him.

Her eyes now held only heartbreak and betrayal.

"I never cheated on you..."
Her voice breaks.
"I... only... you-"
She can't complete the sentence... and turns her face away.

Kabir looked completely shattered after looking at her.

Vanya turns her face away, trying to hide the tears falling from her eyes... but her shoulders are trembling slightly.

Kabir slowly reaches out to look at her face.

"Vanya... please look at me..."

Vanya lets out a light, sarcastic laugh... which seems more painful.
"Why...? What else is left to hear...?"

Kabir's heart feels heavier at her words.
"I told you-"

"No...!"
Vanya speaks loudly, turning toward him.
Her eyes were red... filled with tears.

"Today you will listen... only you..."
Kabir falls silent.

Vanya holds her trembling fingers tightly... as if gathering her courage.
"I... loved you..."
The room goes completely silent for a second.

Kabir's eyes widen slightly in shock.

Vanya's voice was breaking... but she didn't stop talking.
"Yes... I used to... I still do... a lot, even now... even after everything."
"When you ignored me... I still followed you..."
"When you bit me... I still brought lunch the next day..."

His tears continued to fall.

"Because I thought... one day you'd understand..."
Kabir's throat goes dry.

Vanya gives a slight, bitter smile.

"But I had no idea... you could think of me so low..."

Tears well up in Kabir's eyes too.

"Vanya... I-"

"No... Kabir..."

Vanya says his name directly for the first time... and there was so much pain in that name that Kabir's chest tightens.
"You didn't just insult me..."
"You destroyed my feelings... my dignity... everything..."

Kabir's gaze drops... but this time he doesn't dare touch her.

"I cry every night..."
Vanya's voice turns into a whisper.
"I thought... there was something wrong with me..."

Kabir's control begins to break.

"STOP IT VANYA... please..."
Her voice breaks.
"There's nothing wrong with you..."
"It was my fault... only mine..."

Kabir lowers his head even further.
"I was jealous... possessive... and stupid..."
"But I could never hate you..."

Vanya's heart skips a second... but she closes her eyes.

Kabir looks at her and says...
"The day you left... a few days after that, I started feeling sick, Aryan told me..."

The only sound in the room was their heavy breathing.

Kabir says softly...
"I love you Vanya... I love you very much..."
His tears continued to fall.

Vanya stared at him in shock... disbelief, pain, and confusion all mixed in her eyes.

"You... really... love me...?"
Her voice broke slightly.

Kabir nodded... his eyes were filled with guilt and raw emotions.
"Yes... I do... a lot..."
His voice grew heavy.
"I do so much that when I saw you with Aryan... it felt like someone stole everything from me... and I... went down the wrong path..."

Tears welled up in Kabir's eyes and streamed down his cheeks. "I... am sorry Vanya... forgive me... for everything... for everything I did to you... for the pain I caused... for the humiliation I caused..."

Kabir gently takes her hands in his... but this time his grip is very soft... as if he's afraid Vanya might pull away again.

"I regretted it every day... every night... your rotten figure appeared before my eyes... and I hated myself..."
Fresh tears welled up in Vanya's eyes...
Her heart was pounding violently.

"So then... why did you... treat me so badly...?"

Kabir lowered his gaze... his jaw tightened.
"Because I was weak... and stupid... I loved you... but couldn't trust you... and love without trust becomes possessiveness..."
A heavy silence fell over the room.

Vanya slowly releases her hand from his grip.

Kabir's heart stops for a second.

Vanya reaches for the edge of the bed...
"Kabir... love isn't proven just by saying it..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"When everyone was laughing at me... when you were insulting me by calling me 'piggy'... then it occurred to me... maybe I'm really not worthy of anyone's love..."

Kabir immediately looks at her... there was pure heartbreak in his eyes.
"Please don't say that... you're perfect... it was my mistake... only mine..."

Tears were falling from Vanya's eyes.

"Do you know... how happy I was when you ate my lunch... even when you ignored me, I pretended to be happy... because I thought... one day you would accept me..."

Kabir rests his head on Tara's feet and says, "Today I'm bowing down before you and saying... give me one chance... I'll fix everything... I'll never hurt you..."

Vanya looks at him... love was still evident in his eyes... but fear was also there. "Kabir... it takes time to mend hearts... and my heart was broken so badly..."

Kabir's throat goes dry...
"I'll wait... as long as it takes... just don't push me away... please..."
Only their heavy breathing could be heard in the room.

Vanya slowly closes her eyes... takes a deep breath...
as if fighting her emotions.

Then she speaks softly...
"I... I will try to forgive you... but it will take time for everything to be like before..."

A faint glimmer of hope sparks in Kabir's eyes.

"That's all I need..."
Her voice was almost a whisper.

Vanya slowly raises her eyes and looks at him...
A fragile connection was forming between them again...

New... weak... but true.

Vanya sits quietly for a while... many questions running through her mind. Then she slowly looks at Kabir.
"Can I ask you something...?"

Kabir immediately becomes attentive to her.
"Yes... ask whatever you want..."

Vanya speaks with a slight nervousness...
"Our engagement was already fixed... so... did you know about me...?"

Kabir freezes for a second... then slowly gets up from his knees and sits on the bed next to Vanya. His expression softens. "No... I had no idea..."

Vanya looks at him in surprise.
Kabir gives a slight, sad smile.
"If I had known... maybe we wouldn't have made so many mistakes today... and maybe... we would have been together already..."
Regret was clearly audible in his voice.

Kabir takes a deep breath.

"When I found out you'd suddenly left home... I went crazy... I wanted to talk to you... I wanted to apologize... but I couldn't find any of your contacts..."

Vanya quietly listened to him.

"Then I called some of my contacts... to find out about you... It took a while... And when I finally found out you were in this city... I moved here too..."

Vanya's eyes slowly widen.

Kabir looks into her eyes and says...
"I even started looking into your home... just to meet you once..."

An emotional silence descends on the room.

Kabir laughs slightly, awkwardly.
"But I had no idea you were my fiancée... To be honest... I was never interested in this arranged marriage... it was all decided by my grandparents..."

Vanya was watching him quietly.

"One day, Mom forcibly showed me your photo... and as soon as I saw it... I was shocked..."
Kabir's eyes well up with emotion.

"I thought maybe fate was giving me another chance... that's why I requested Mom... to arrange a meeting quickly..."

Vanya's heart flutters softly... but she tries to hide her emotions.
"So... you really... wanted to meet me again...?"

Kabir says without hesitation...
"Not just to meet... I wanted to get you back..."

Vanya's gaze turns a little suspicious... She quickly looks away.

Kabir notices her hesitation... But this time he doesn't pressure her... He just speaks in a soft tone...
"Come on... Everyone will be waiting downstairs... Otherwise, everyone will be suspicious..."
Vanya nods slightly.

Scene Shift - Hall

Both descend the stairs. In the hall, both families were seated around the dinner table... their parents were clearly waiting for them.

As Vanya comes down, her mother immediately notices that her eyes are slightly red.

"Child... why are your eyes so red...? Is everything alright...?"

Vanya becomes a little nervous... she's about to say something when Kabir calmly interrupts-

"Actually, Aunty... we were discussing some old college stuff... I got emotional..."
Kabir looked completely composed.

Vanya glances at him sideways in shock.

Kabir's parents also look at them, curious.

Vanya's father asks in a slightly serious tone, "Is everything clear between you two...?"

Kabir nods respectfully.

"Yes, uncle... everything is fine..."

His tone was confident... but his gaze lingered on Vanya for a second... as if making a silent promise.

The atmosphere began to return to normal.

Kabir's mom smiles and says, "Okay, let's all have dinner... we've all been waiting for so long..."

Janvi Aunty lovingly takes Vanya's hand and leads her to the dining table.
"I've specially prepared your favorite dishes for you today..."
Vanya smiles slightly.

Kabir sits on the opposite chair... and is silently watching her.

Vanya glances at him for a second... then quickly looks down.

There was still distance between them...

But for the first time... there was hope in that distance.

The area outside the mansion was softly glowing with warm yellow lights.

The night weather was pleasant... a slight cool breeze was blowing.

Vanya's uncle and father were heading towards the exit gate... Kabir's mom and dad were walking with them to drop them off properly. Both families were talking in polite and warm tones... a light discussion was going on about the wedding and future plans.

A little behind...
Kabir and Vanya were walking side by side.

There was a comfortable... but slightly awkward silence between them.

Vanya was lightly twisting the pallu of her saree between her fingers... her eyes were on the ground. Kabir was looking at her furtively... as if he was choosing his words.

Finally, Kabir spoke softly-
"Vanya..."

Vanya glanced at him slightly.
"Yes...?"

Kabir hesitates for a second... then speaks in a soft tone-
"Tomorrow... are you free...?"

Vanya is confused.
"Why...?"

Kabir smiles a little nervously... a rare sight in his serious personality.
"I... was thinking... if you're comfortable... then... we could go on a date..."

Vanya freezes completely.

Her eyes widen.
"D... date...?"

Kabir quickly says-
"It means... there's no pressure... I just... want to start again... slowly... without any expectations..."

His tone was genuinely soft. "I won't force you... if you're not ready... that's perfectly fine..."

Vanya stares at him. Her heart races. Past memories and present emotions are mingling.

Kabir adds softly, "Just one chance to see you smile... without pain..."

Vanya's expression melts a bit.

She looks away... then sighs softly.

"I..."

Kabir waits patiently.

Vanya speaks softly, "It's okay..."

Kabir feels both shock and relief.

"Really...?"

Vanya gives a slight, shy nod.

"But... just a normal outing... that's it..."

Genuine happiness sparkles in Kabir's eyes.
"Perfect... just like that..."
By then they reach the car.

The driver is about to open the door... but Kabir stops him and opens the rear door for Vanya himself.

Vanya looks at him... a little surprised... a little emotional.
Kabir says with a slight smile, "Please..."

Vanya smiles softly... then gets into the car.

As they sit down, Kabir quietly ensures that her saree doesn't get caught in the door.

Before closing the door, Kabir bows slightly and says, "Be ready tomorrow at 8 A.M... I'll pick you up..."

Vanya blushes slightly and says, "We'll see..."

Kabir gives a soft chuckle.

The door closes slowly.

Vanya is watching him from the window... Kabir is also standing there, watching her... hope and softness were clearly visible in his eyes.

The car slowly starts moving.

Vanya waves a hand lightly from the window at the last moment.

A real... peaceful smile appears on Kabir's lips.

The car drives out of the gate...
And Kabir stands there, taking a deep breath of the night air... as if he's finally got a chance to make things right.

Scene Change - Vanya's House

The car gently stops outside Vanya's house. The driver opens the door. Vanya slowly gets out. Her father and mother go in with them. After dinner and family talk...
Late night...

Vanya sits cross-legged on the bed in her room. She has her phone in her hand... but she just stares blankly at the screen. Thoughts of Kabir... his apology... and yesterday's date... all mixed up in her mind.

She sighs deeply.

"Should I tell Pakhi... or not...?"

She hesitates for a second...

Then she quickly dials Pakhi's number.
The phone picks up after two rings.
"Hello, my missing potato chip, where have you been?" Pakhi's dramatic, loud voice comes out.

Vanya laughs lightly.
"Dude, chill... I'm fine."

Pakhi instantly takes a suspicious tone-
"It's only when you say 'I'm fine'... that's when the problem arises. Boy... what happened?"

Vanya hugs the pillow a little.
"Pakhi... I... met someone today..."

Pakhi teases-
"Oh, did you find a new college crush, did you 😏?"

Vanya laughs nervously.
"No... that..."
she falls silent.

Pakhi instantly turns serious.
"Vanya... just say it."

Vanya closes her eyes and says-
"I... met Kabir..."

A second of complete silence...
Then...
"WHAT??????" Pakhi literally screams.

"Did you meet him? Where? How? Why?"

Vanya takes the phone away from her ear.
"Pakhi, listen..."

Pakhi's anger was clearly evident in her voice.
"Don't even mention that man's name in front of me! What he did to you-"

Vanya speaks softly-
"Pakhi... he's my fiancé..."
Silence.
Absolutely dead silence.

Pakhi's shocked whisper-
"...what...?"

Vanya slowly tells the whole story... family engagement... Veer's name... mansion meeting... everything.

Pakhi listens quietly... but her breathing is becoming heavy.

When Vanya completes the story...
Pakhi angrily says, "What does it mean... that Kabir... who insulted you in front of everyone... is your fiancé?"

Vanya slowly-

Vanya slowly-
"Yes..."

Pakhi sighs frustrated.
"Didn't the universe get any more twists? 😤"

Vanya gives a slight, sad smile.
"Pakhi... he apologized... he explained everything..."

Pakhi immediately interrupts-
"Explanations don't erase trauma, Vanya!"

Vanya falls silent.

Pakhi's tone softens a little... but still protective.
"You... have forgiven him?"

Vanya hesitates.
"No... but... I'm trying... to understand..."

Pakhi takes a deep breath.
"Okay... tell me one thing... do you feel safe with him?"

Vanya thinks for a while and says softly, "...yes."

Pakhi remains silent for a few seconds.

Then she sighs and says, "You... are very stupid... but you have a very full heart."

Vanya pouts, "Thank you...?"

Pakhi laughs lightly.

"Sun... I won't stop you... because I know you'll still meet him..."

"But remember one thing."

Her tone becomes serious.

"Don't give your heart away so easily again."

Vanya listened quietly.

Pakhi continues-
"Let him prove it... let him make an effort... let him earn trust."

Vanya nods softly.

"Hmmm..."

Pakhi in a suspicious tone-
"By the way... are you two going to meet again?"

Vanya becomes awkward.

"...tomorrow."

Pakhi gasps dramatically.

"Wow, are you watching the girl's speed 😑?"

Vanya is embarrassed-
"Pakhi!! It's just a normal outing..."

Pakhi in a sarcastic tone-
"Yes yes... a normal outing... a villain and a heroine... moonlight... slow music... I know."

Both laugh lightly.

Then Pakhi says in a gentle tone, "Listen, Vanya... If he hurts you even one percent... you should get out of there immediately. Understood?"

Vanya smiles emotionally.
"Thank you, friend... you care so much about me."

Pakhi, in a dramatic tone, says, "I'm awesome."

Then suddenly, she says, "By the way, what are you going to wear tomorrow?"

Vanya, confused, says, "I don't know..."

Pakhi, excited, says, "I've already made a video call. Let's start selecting outfits."

Vanya laughs.
"You're crazy..."

Pakhi, proudly, says, "Certified."

Both shift to video call... and Vanya's room fills with light laughter and best friend chaos.

🌼 Next Scene 🌼

Next day...
It was morning. Faint sunlight was streaming through the curtains in the hallway. Vanya was nervously pacing back and forth in the hallway. Her hands were cold, and she was rubbing her fingers repeatedly.

"Vanya, my dear... relax. You're just going on a date, it's not like the wedding is happening today..." her mother said, trying to pacify her with a slight smile.

Vanya looked at her nervously.
"Mom... I don't know why... my heart is beating so fast."

Before her mother could say anything, she heard the sound of a car stopping outside the house.

Vanya's heart seemed to stop for a second... then it started pounding faster. She instinctively adjusted her dupatta and took a deep breath.

A few seconds later... the doorbell rings.
Ma goes to open the door... and Kabir enters through the entrance.

Kabir was wearing a crisp white shirt today, the top button of which was slightly open... perfectly tailored brown trousers and matching leather shoes. The elegant watch on his wrist added to his classy personality. His calm and confident demeanor filled the entire room.

Kabir had two fresh flower bouquets in his hand... a mix of light pastel roses and white lilies and one bouquet of tulips.

As soon as his eyes fall on Vanya, he stops for a few seconds.

Vanya was wearing a soft pink kurta that was loose and flowy, along with white palazzos and minimal jewelry. Her simple look enhanced her natural beauty. Her open hair fell softly on her shoulders.

Kabir slowly approaches her.

"Good morning... Vanya," he says in a soft voice.

Vanya smiles slightly, nervously.

Kabir extends the bouquet towards her.

"This is for you... and you look very beautiful today."

Vanya's face turns slightly blush.
"Thank you..."
Then Kabir respectfully turns to Vanya's mother and hands her another bouquet.
"Hello aunty... this is for you."

Vanya's mother is pleasantly surprised.
"Oh... what was the need for this, son?"

Kabir politely smiles.
"Respect and gratitude should be shown when you get a chance."

Vanya's mother is quite impressed by his personality and manners. She notices his dressing and confidence and smiles slightly.
"Should you both have breakfast before leaving or do you have plans to go out?"

Kabir looks at Vanya and says, "If Vanya is comfortable... I'd like to take her to a nice cafe."

Vanya hesitates a bit... then looks at her mother. Mother gives a reassuring nod.
"Okay..." Vanya says softly.

Kabir gives a gentle smile.
"Ready?"

Vanya only gives a slight nod.

Kabir politely leads her towards the exit. Reaching the gate, he opens the car door and gestures for Vanya to sit.

Vanya gives him a small, grateful smile and gets into the car.

Kabir closes the car door... goes to the other side and sits in the driver's seat.

And the car slowly starts moving towards their new chapter...

The car was moving steadily on the road. The trees and buildings outside were rapidly disappearing behind... but inside the car, there was a strange silence.

Vanya was looking out the window... her fingers were entangled. Sometimes she was spinning her ring... sometimes she was lightly pressing her nails. Her nervousness was clearly visible.

Kabir was driving, focused on the steering wheel... but his side glances were repeatedly going towards Vanya.

The car moves a little forward... then Kabir finally breaks the silence.

"Which café would you like to go to?"

Vanya looks at him, a little startled.
"Woah... I don't know... wherever you want."

Kabir nods slowly.
"Well... I know a nice cafe... let's go there."

Vanya nods quietly... and looks out the window again. Silence settles in the car again.

After a few seconds, Kabir sighs lightly and clears his throat.
"I... know I've done a lot of things wrong... and I'm sorry for that..."
He pauses for a second... then says softly,
"But... don't be so quiet."

Vanya looks at him with surprise. The hesitation was evident in her eyes.

"Wow... I've never been on a date..." she says softly,

"And I don't even know what to talk about."

Kabir looks at her for a few seconds... as if confirming that she's serious... then a soft smile appears on his lips.

"Okay..." he says casually,

"So, what do you like to eat?"

Vanya thinks for a while... then says with awkward honesty,

"Very few things... I'm a foodie."

Kabir laughs lightly. "Good... foodies are generally honest."

Vanya raises an eyebrow.
"What kind of theory is that?"

Kabir shrugs.
"I don't know... just experience."

A small smile appears on Vanya's lips.
"And you?" she asks hesitantly.
"What do you like?"

Kabir pretends to think for a while.
"I like simple food... nothing too fancy."

Vanya teases lightly and says, "Well... let's see how simple you order at the cafe."

Kabir glances to the side... a slight, playful spark flashes in his eyes.

"Challenge accepted."

A slightly comfortable silence returns between them... but this time it's not as heavy as before.

The car takes a turn... and Kabir casually asks, "Do you like crowded places or quiet?"

"Quiet..." Vanya says immediately... then slows down a bit and adds, "I don't like too much noise."

Kabir just nods. "Good... where we're going... there's a peaceful environment."

Vanya looks at him... as if she feels a little relaxed after hearing his words.

And the car continues moving at its speed...
There was still distance between them...
But in that distance, a slight comfort of a new beginning had begun to dissolve.

The car enters the café's parking area. Kabir parks smoothly. As soon as the engine shuts off, Vanya's heart starts beating fast again... She nervously clutches the corner of her dupatta between her fingers.

Kabir unbuckles his seat belt and gets out.

Vanya is about to open the door when

Just then Kabir makes a slight hand gesture.

"Wait..."

Vanya looks at him, confused.

"What?"

Kabir doesn't say anything... He just smiles slightly and comes around the front of the car to her side. He quickly opens the door on Vanya's side.

Vanya stares at him for a second... there was surprise and a slight awkward softness in her eyes.

Kabir moves aside slightly and says,
"Now..."

Vanya slowly walks out. Kabir gently closes the door.

Vanya looks around. Outside the café, there was a cozy ambiance of fairy lights, small plants, and warm yellow lighting. The soft melody of soft music could be heard outside.
"Beautiful place..." Vanya says automatically.

Kabir looks at her... there was a slight relief in his eyes, as if he was happy that Vanya liked the place.
"Did you like it... good."
He gestures with his hand to show the way towards the entrance.

Vanya nods slightly and they both start walking together.

The fragrance of warm coffee hits them both as they open the glass door of the café. Soft instrumental music was playing inside. The dim lights and aesthetic decor made the place even more cozy.

A waiter politely greets them and leads them to the table.

Kabir pulls out a chair for Vanya.

"Please..."

Vanya hesitates for a second... then softly says, "Thank you..."
She sits down on the chair.

Kabir sits on the opposite seat... but his gaze remains fixed on Vanya for a few seconds.

Vanya's soft, elegant look in a pink kurta and white palazzo seemed to glow even more in the café's warm lighting.

The waiter hands them the menu and politely steps aside.

Vanya was looking at the menu... but couldn't focus clearly on the words. Sometimes she felt Kabir's presence... sometimes she could hear her heartbeat.

Kabir casually says,
"Are you comfortable?"

Vanya looks at him... then nods softly.
"Yes... the place is nice."

Kabir smiles softly.
"Good... otherwise I would have changed the location."

Vanya is a little surprised.
"Seriously?"

"Yes... the date is for your comfort... not my choice."

Vanya stares at him for a few seconds... as if absorbing his words.

Then she says slowly,
"I... I'm trying to get comfortable."

Kabir just nods...
Patience and warmth were evident in his eyes.
"You can take as much time as you want."

A soft silence settles at the table... but this time it wasn't awkward... it was a little peaceful.

The waiter politely comes and stands beside them.
"Sir... order?"

Kabir closes the menu and looks at Vanya.
"Tell me... what would you like to eat?"

Vanya flips through the menu pages... but she's clearly confused. She pauses after looking at each dish... then moves on to the next page.
"Uh... I... don't know..."

Kabir raises a slight eyebrow.
"I don't know... or are you just unable to decide?"

Vanya smiles awkwardly.
"I... actually... I eat a little more..."
She stops, as if she thought she'd said the wrong thing.

Kabir looks at her calmly... then pushes the menu towards her.
"So?"

Vanya looks at him confused.
"What, so?"

Kabir says in a soft voice,
"So, whatever you want to eat... order it."

Vanya hesitates a bit.
"But..."

Kabir doesn't interrupt her... he just listens patiently.

Kabir doesn't interrupt her... he just listens patiently.

"People... usually judge..."
Kabir's expression turns a little serious... but his voice remains gentle.
"I won't."

Vanya looks him in the eye... as if confirming.
Kabir leans forward a little.
"Vanya... order whatever you like... as much as you like. I will never judge you... not for your choices... not for your food... not for anything else. I've already done a lot of hard work without even realizing it."

Vanya's fingers grip the corner of the menu tightly... a slight emotional glint appears in her eyes.

Kabir adds softly, "I want you to feel comfortable around me... no pretense, you're wonderful just the way you are, and it's a pleasure to see you comfortable around me."

Silence reigns at the table for a few seconds... but this time it's not heavy... it's soothing.

Vanya finally takes a deep breath... then looks at the waiter.
"Okay... um... a cheesy pasta... a peri peri fries... and... a chocolate shake."

She glances at Kabir as she speaks... as if trying to read his reaction.

Kabir tells the waiter in a completely normal tone,
"And... a hazelnut coffee."

The waiter notes the order and walks away.

Vanya says softly,
"Bas..."

Kabir smiles slightly.
"Bas? I thought you'd order more."

Vanya looks at him in shock.
"And??"

Kabir says in a playful tone,

"Yes... you said yourself that you eat too much."

Vanya's face turns slightly embarrassed.

"I... sometimes..."

Kabir laughs softly.

"Relax... I'm not teasing."

Food arrives on the table some time later.

The smell of fresh pasta reaches Vanya... and excitement automatically sparks in her eyes... but she tries to hide it.

Kabir notices... but doesn't say anything.

Vanya picks up the fork... but her hand is a little slow... clearly she was conscious.

Kabir casually sips his coffee... then says,
"Are you comfortable?"

"Yes..."

"Sure?"
Vanya nods slightly... then takes a small bite of the pasta. But her focus was less on the taste and more on her image.

Kabir observes her... then says in a calm voice,
"You're not allowed to think so much while enjoying food."

Vanya looks at him.
"Hmm?"

Kabir gestures towards the plate.
"This is your favorite thing... right?"

Vanya nods softly.
"Then enjoy it... I'm telling you once again. I'm not here to judge you... I'm here to spend time with you."

Vanya's grip on the fork loosens... her nervousness begins to melt a little.

Kabir adds with a slight smile, "Anyway... I like happy people... and you look cute when you're enjoying your food."

Vanya's face instantly turns red.
"You..."

Kabir pretends to be talking casually.
"Yes... I'm telling the truth."

Vanya finally feels a little relaxed... and this time she takes a proper bite. Genuine happiness flashes in her eyes.

Kabir quietly looks at her and smiles.

The plate of fries was in the middle. Vanya takes a fry... but while hastily dipping it in sauce, some sauce gets on her finger.

"Uh..."
She feels awkward.

Kabir immediately slides the tissue holder towards her.

"Here..."

Vanya says softly,
"Thanks..."

Kabir says casually,
"Next time, slow down... or the fries will get jealous."

Vanya looks at him, confused.

"What?"

Kabir says with a deadpan expression,
"They need equal attention."

Vanya remains silent for a second... then suddenly lets out a small laugh.

Hearing that laugh, Kabir's eyes soften... as if he'd been waiting for this moment.
"You look better when you smile..."
Vanya looks at him... and this time, she doesn't look away quickly.

A warm, comfortable vibe had now settled on the table... where awkwardness was slowly dissolving... and soft familiarity was taking its place.

Vanya was busy eating, slowly stirring the pasta on her plate with a fork... but after a few seconds, she realized that Kabir was sipping coffee... and looking at her.

Vanya felt slightly uncomfortable... then softly said,
"You... why aren't you eating...?"

Kabir blinked slightly... as if he had come out of his reverie.
"Hmm?"

Vanya looked at her plate and said, "You should eat too... it feels weird just looking at me."

Kabir smiled slightly.
"I'll finish... you finish first."

Vanya nodded her head slightly.
"No... let's eat together."

Kabir stares at her for a few seconds... then quietly picks up a piece of fries.
"Happy?"

Vanya nods slightly... but her gaze is still fixed on the plate.

A comfortable silence reigns at the table for a while... only the faint sound of cutlery and the soft background music of the cafe can be heard.

Kabir casually says,
"When you enjoy your food... you feel just like a child."

Vanya's fork stops in mid-air.
"Child?"

Kabir nods softly.
"Yes... innocent... without a filter..."

Vanya scoffs slightly... but it wasn't hurt... just hesitation.
"Innocent people... get hurt more..."

Kabir listens silently, but his eyes hurt too... without interrupting.

Vanya takes a small bite of the pasta... but she clearly isn't enjoying the taste.
"I thought... if I do something nice for someone... they'll do something nice for me too..."
Her voice breaks slightly... but she controls it.
"But... when things change suddenly... then... I can't understand where I went wrong..."
Kabir's jaw tightens a little... but he doesn't say anything.

Vanya finally looks at him... there was a slight vulnerability in her eyes.
"That's why... I've become a little slow... in trusting people..."

Kabir says softly, "There's nothing wrong with being slow..."

Vanya looks at him silently.

Kabir folds his fingers on the table... then says in a calm voice, "Trust isn't a race... it takes time... and... if you need time... I can wait."

Vanya's heart skips a second... she could clearly see the sincerity in his eyes.

She says softly, "How can you... be so sure...?"

Kabir smiles slightly... but there was softness in his eyes.
"Because... this time I don't want to lose anything... especially you."

Vanya's face turns a little emotional... but she quickly looks down at her plate.
"I... I'll try..."

Kabir says softly, "That's enough."

A calm silence settles on the table again... but this time it's not awkward... it's warm.

Vanya slowly sips her shake... and Kabir finishes his coffee while quietly looking at her.

✨Scene change✨

The two slowly exit the café... It was early morning... The soft golden sunlight cast a warm glow on the surroundings... The air was fresh and slightly cool.

The two walked side by side towards the parking lot... Their steps were rhythmic... There was a slight silence in between... which didn't feel awkward... but rather peaceful.

Kabir unlocks the car... and casually asks,
"So... where are we going now?"

Vanya, after thinking for a while... intertwining her fingers, says,
"Umm... park..."

Kabir looks at her and smiles slightly. "There's a park nearby... shall we go there?"

Vanya nods softly.
"Yes..."

Kabir opens the car door for her... Vanya quietly gets in... Kabir closes the door and sits in the driver's seat.

The car starts... and slowly begins to move down the road.

Silence settles inside the car again... but this time it's not heavy... it's calm... as if both of them are feeling each other's presence even without words.

Vanya looks out the window... sunlight is filtered through the trees and falling on the road... its reflection is softly visible in the glass.

Kabir, holding the steering wheel, would occasionally glance sideways at Vanya... Her calm face would bring an unconscious smile to his lips.

5 minutes later...

The car stops in front of a beautiful park... Where fresh flowers were planted at the entrance... The greenery inside was glistening in the sunlight... People were taking morning walks on the walking path... Some children were cycling.

Kabir turns off the engine and, turning to Vanya, says,
"I really like this place... Whenever I'm home, I always come here."

Vanya looks at him... Then at the park... Genuine interest sparkles in her eyes.

"This place... looks so peaceful..."

Kabir says in a soft voice,
"Haa..."

Kabir quickly gets down and opens the door for Vanya again... Vanya steps out... and the cool morning breeze softly blows through her hair.

Vanya looks around... couples were taking a slow walk in the park... elderly people were doing yoga on one side... and a little further ahead, a small fountain sparkled in the sunlight.

"Beautiful place..." Vanya says softly.

Kabir looks at her and smiles...
"How...?"

Vanya looks at him... then quietly starts walking with him.

The two were walking slowly on the walking path... there wasn't much distance between them... but they weren't touching either...

Vanya looks towards the fountain and says, "Did you come here alone?"

Kabir says without hesitation, "Yes... but today... is the first time I've come with someone."

Vanya's steps slow for a second... but she doesn't say anything... she just smiles slightly.

Kabir notices her smile... and his heart quietly feels light.

A slight breeze blows... and Vanya's hair, in her sleep, touches Kabir's arm... Vanya quickly gathers her hair... but in that moment, their fingers accidentally brush each other...

Both freeze for a second...

Vanya quickly turns her hand back... and looks towards the fountain... her heart was beating fast.

Kabir also turns his gaze to the side... but a soft smile has already appeared on his lips.

The two stop near the fountain... The sound of water and the chirping of morning birds add to the calm of the atmosphere...
Kabir says softly,
"This place is very peaceful."

Vanya looks at him... There's a little hesitation in her eyes... a little trust... and a little new emotion.
She says softly,
"Hmm..."

Kabir looks at her and smiles.

Scene Change

Venya was carefully descending the stairs... there was a slight haste and excitement in her steps...
Her mother sees her from the hall and says,

"Bablili... be careful..."

Venya replies with a smile,

"Yes, mother..."

She crosses the last stair and comes down. Her mother slightly adjusts her hair and lovingly says,

"Be careful... Kabir is waiting outside."

A bright smile instantly appears on Venya's face.

She hugs her mother tightly.

"Bye, mother..."

Her mother kisses her affectionately on the head.

"Enjoy... and pick up the phone..."

Venya nods lightly and almost runs towards the entrance.

Parking

Kabir was standing in front of the car... looking handsome in casual attire... as if he'd been waiting for a while, but there was no irritation at all... only patience.

As soon as his eyes fall on Venya... he stands up straight... a soft warmth fills his eyes.

"Hi..."

Venya, taking a slight breath, says in a happy tone, "Hi..."

Kabir immediately opens the passenger door for her... Venya gets in the car with a thankful smile. Kabir gently closes the door... then turns around and sits in the driver's seat.

The engine starts... the car starts moving smoothly down the road.

He leaves... Venya casually takes out her phone and checks the time.

Kabir glances to the side and says in a slightly teasing tone,
"Yes... I'll be there on time... Bunny."

Venya's face turns slightly pink at the mention of the pet name. She looks at the phone screen and says in a slightly shy tone,
"You... why are you calling me by such a new name...?"

Kabir chuckles slightly... loosens his grip on the steering wheel and says,
"Because Bunny... you're so cute... and a little nervous too... just like a little bunny."

Venya gives him a fake glare... but her smile doesn't fade.
"I don't get nervous..."
Kabir instantly replies,

"Okay... then why do your fingers get so tangled whenever I suddenly mention your name?"
Venya immediately looks at her hands... which were actually entangled... she quickly moves them aside.

Kabir tries to stifle a slight laugh.

Venya pouts.

"You... notice so much..."

Kabir says softly, "It feels good to notice you."

Venya stares at him for a second... then quickly looks out the window... but a soft smile has already appeared on her lips.

-------

Narration:

Over the past two weeks, the distance between them had reduced considerably. The awkward silence that had existed before had now given way to a comfortable calm.

Venya could now talk freely with Kabir... sometimes she would even get angry at him... and Kabir... always called her by some cute pet name.
Sometimes "Bunny"...
Sometimes "Chipmunk"...
Sometimes "chubby cheeks"...
-------

And every time Venya pretended not to like him... but secretly she would smile.

The car was moving smoothly on the road... and both of them had unknowingly entered a new comfort zone.

Kabir casually say, "Bunny... I hope your friends don't kill me."

Venya immediately turns to her... then says in a completely normal tone,
"Don't worry... I've explained it to him... He'll just kick and punch you twice... nothing more."

Kabir's face freezes for a second.
He slowly looks at Venya with a mock horror expression.
"Cutie... I thought you'd save me from your friend... but you gave him a betel nut..."

Venya gives him a blank stare for a second... then laughs out loud.
"You too... you're so dramatic..."

Kabir sees her laughing and smiles softly. That familiar warmth comes into her eyes... which was only for Venya.

A few seconds later, Kabir controls the steering wheel with one hand... and reaches towards the back seat with the other.

Venya looks at him curiously.

Kabir takes out a cup... and extends it to Venya.

"Here..."

Venya looks at the cup in shock.

"For me...?"

Kabir nods slightly... with a soft smile.

Venya's face instantly brightens.

"Bubble tea..."

Her voice is pure excitement.

She takes the cup... sips through the straw... and instantly her cheeks puff up as she chews on the pearls.

Kabir observes her for a second...
Then quietly takes out his phone.
"Chubby cheeks..."
Click
There's no flash... but the shutter sound is clearly audible.

Venya freezes.
She slowly turns towards Kabir... cheeks still puffed... straw still in her lips.
"You... clicked my photo??"

Kabir puts the phone back in his pocket with a completely innocent expression.

"Yes."

Venya feigns anger and says, "Delete that photo... I look awful in it..."

Kabir looks at her for a second... then leans in slightly and pats her on the head.

He says with a side glare, "Look at from my eyes... nothing could be cuter than this..."

Venya's face immediately turns red.

She quickly looks out the window... but she can't control her smile.

She quietly sipped her bubble tea... but with every sip, her heartbeat was getting a little faster. Kabir gave her a side glance... and noticing her blush, he smiled secretly.

The car was heading towards the airport... but the distance between them had vanished.

Their conversations were simple...
The moments were short...
But their warmth was deep.

Scene Change

The airport waiting area was quite crowded... People were waiting for their loved ones... The soft sound of announcements echoed in the background.

Kabir and Vanya were standing to the side... Vanya kept glancing towards the entrance gate... her fingers were intertwined with each other in nervous excitement.

Kabir was observing her from the side... a slight smile was on his lips... because he clearly understood how excited Vanya was.

Just then...
"VANYAAAAA!"
A familiar loud voice echoed throughout the waiting area.

Vanya's face instantly lit up.

Both he and Kabir look in that direction...

Pakhi is running towards them at full speed... her bag almost sliding off her shoulder... and behind her, Aryan is coming at her in fast steps.

"Come slowly-Pakhi, stop!" Aryan tries to stop her... but Pakhi is no less than a missile.

The very next second...
Pakhi hugs Vanya tightly.
"My cutie... my life was completely incomplete without you!"
Pakhi hugs her so tightly that Vanya literally staggers back a little.

Vanya instantly returns the hug... her eyes slightly moist.
"Dude... I miss you..."

Pakhi rests her face on his shoulder and says emotionally, "Missed you? I was in a depression without you..."

Vanya laughs lightly... and hugs him even tighter.

Their reunion was so genuine and warm... that even Kabir, standing nearby, broke into a soft smile.

By then Aryan also came near them.

But...
Her eyes fixed directly on Kabir.

Cold.

Sharp.

Warning.

Kabir also notices her gaze... and stands up straight... His expression was calm... but respectful.

Pakhi and Vanya finally break the hug.

Pakhi immediately grabs Vanya's face and scans her head.

"Are you okay? Did anyone bother you? Are you eating properly?"

Vanya nods with an smile.

"Relax... I'm perfectly fine..."

By then, Aryan takes a step forward.

His gaze was still fixed on Kabir.
"How are you... Kabir?"
The tone was polite... but there was clear tension inside.

Kabir gives a slight nod.
"I'm fine... how are you, Aryan?"
For two seconds, they just stare at each other.

As if silent history is floating in the air.

Pakhi immediately breaks the awkward silence.
"Yes, yes, just... don't start a WWE match here, both of you."

Vanya looks at them nervously.

Aryan finally softens his gaze... and turns towards Vanya. "How are you, Champ?"

Vanya smiles.

"I'm fine... now that you guys are here... I'll be even better."

Aryan's expression instantly warms.

He gently pats Vanya on the head.

"Crazy girl..."

Pakhi suddenly turns to Kabir, arms crossed.

"By the way... I'll hear your welcome speech later... first, tell me... will you make my best friend cry again?"

Kabir looks at Vanya for a second... then back at Pakhi.

His expression turns serious.

"No."

Simple answer... but the tone was sincere.

Aryan observes her quietly... as if he's judging her honesty.

Pakhi huffs a little... but clearly notices Kabir's tone.

Pakhi:
"Good. Because this time I won't warn you."

Vanya blushes awkwardly.

"Pakhi..."

Pakhi winks at her teasingly.

"I'm telling the truth, cutie."

Aryan finally sighs.

"Come on... let's not stand here and shoot emotional serials... let's go home?"

Kabir immediately says, "Yes... the car is in the parking lot."

Pakhi says with a suspicious grin,
"Okay... so we'll travel with VIP treatment today?"

Kabir smiles slightly.
"If you guys don't fight me, then yes."

Pakhi gives a dramatic salute.
"No promises."

Vanya laughs... and unknowingly stands a little closer to Kabir.

Kabir looks at her for a second...
and the relief in his eyes was clearly visible.

Narration:
The airport reunion wasn't just about friendship...
It was the beginning of a new chapter...
where the pain of the past still lingered...
but trust was slowly being restored.

And Kabir knew...
This time he would have to win not only Vanya's heart...
but also the trust of her protectors.

Airport parking area...
Four people were walking side by side... Pakhi and

Vanya in front... Aryan and Kabir a little behind.
Pakhi was talking nonstop...
"You can't understand, Vanya... I survived for two days eating Maggi in your village..."

Vanya was laughing... "Stop the drama... You're the junk food queen anyway."

Pakhi made a fake offended expression... "Excuse me! I'm the classy junk food queen."

Both started to giggle.

Behind...
Aryan was walking... his eyes kept going to Kabir.

Finally...
"One minute."

Kabir stopped.

Vanya and Pakhi move forward... they think they're just arriving.

Aryan stops in front of Kabir.

His eyes were filled with a straight, protective brotherly glare.

"Sun... I'll be straightforward."

Kabir looks at him quietly... without interrupting.

Aryan's tone lowers... but dangerously calm.

"What happened that day... I haven't forgotten."

Kabir's jaw tightens slightly... but he remains composed.

Aryan continues...
"Vanya is my cousin... but I consider her a sister. If she hurts me again... I'll put our respect for relationships aside."

Two seconds of silence.
Kabir speaks softly...
"You have the right to say that."

Aryan is a little surprised... but remains silent.
Kabir looks him in the eye and says...
"I won't hurt her again... and if I ever bring tears to her eyes... I won't forgive myself before you."

Aryan stares at him for a few seconds...
as if trying to catch him lying.

Then he sighs.
"We'll see."
With that, he walks away.

Kabir also silently goes with him.

The car was parked in the parking lot.

Pakhi whistles upon seeing the car.

"Oooo... where are you, Don!"

Vanya is taken aback... "Pakhi must be on her way..."

Just then, both of them wake up.
Kabir suppresses a faint smile.

Aryan says dryly... "The car is nice... the driving should be good too."

Kabir merely raises an eyebrow... "Test it."

Pakhi immediately speaks... "We'll both take the test! Aryan and I..."

Vanya looks at Pakhi... "Pakhi, shut up..."

Pakhi rolls her eyes, "You've been taking the side already."

Vanya slaps Pakhi's arm lightly.

Kabir opens the passenger side door.

Vanya instinctively starts to go there... but Aryan softly says...
"One second, chump."
He opens the back door.

"Pakhi... and you sit here... I'll sit in front. After all, you two are meeting after so long, so let's talk."

Pakhi smiles suspiciously... "Yes, Vanya, let's go."

Vanya nods and sits in the back seat.

Aryan looks at Kabir and says, "Let's go!"

Kabir nods with a smile.

Aryan sits next to Kabir in the front seat... but Kabir's eyes are on Vanya through the view mirror.

The car starts...
Two minutes of complete silence.

Pakhi suddenly leans on Vanya's shoulder and whispers...
"Dude, your cheeks have turned chubby this year too."

Vanya elbows him... "Shhh..."

Kabir smiles from the corner... but doesn't say anything.

Aryan casually says...
"Seatbelt."
Vanya quickly fastens the seatbelt.

Kabir glances at her for a second... confirms if the belt is properly fastened... then continues driving.

Pakhi notices...
and smiles.

5 minutes later...

Pakhi, bored, takes out her phone and starts a selfie video.

"Hello vlog... Today we're traveling in a VIP pickup..."

Aryan turns his face... "Turn it off, Pakhi."

Pakhi points the camera at him.

"This is my overprotective brother..."

Aryan pushes the camera... "Delete it."

Pakhi laughs.

Then the camera zooms in on Kabir.

"And this is... the rich, mysterious, apology tour hero... oh... villain."

Kabir says in a dry tone...
"I'm driving... turn off the commentary."

Pakhi laughs even louder.

Vanya also cannot control herself... she also giggles.

Kabir gives her a side glance after hearing her laugh... his eyes become soft.

I come across a speed breaker.

Kabir instantly controls the steering with his left hand... He quickly turns his gaze towards Vanya and asks, "You... are you okay?"

Vanya freezes.

He realizes Kabir caught him off guard by reflex.

Kabir immediately says, "Sorry... it was a speed breaker."

Vanya says softly...
"It's okay..."
In the back seat, Pakhi pats Aryan on the shoulder and whispers...
"See?"

Aryan doesn't say anything... but his expression softens a bit.

Light teasing is a constant during travel.

Pakhi suddenly says...
"By the way, Kabir... what if Vanya gets hungry?"

Kabir says without delay...
"There are snacks in the glove compartment."

Pakhi literally opens the compartment... there are chocolates, chips, and juice packs.
"OH MY GOD!"

Vanya looks at Kabir in shock.
"You... all this..."

Kabir casually says...
"You get hungry while traveling... do you remember?"

Vanya's heart literally melts.

Pakhi acts dramatically faint...
"Just... get me some water... this is romance overdose."

Aryan suppresses mild chuckles.

Some time later, the car stops in front of Vanya's house gate.

Kabir gets out first... then opens Vanya's door.

Vanya smiles softly... and gets out.

Pakhi and Aryan also get out.

Pakhi stretches and says...
"Good ride... got approval... for now."

Aryan looks at Kabir...
"The drive was safe."
Kabir nods slightly.

Vanya says softly...
"You guys come in..."

Pakhi immediately says...
"Of course... I missed Aunty's dinner."

Aryan sighs... "Expected."

Kabir looks at Vanya.

"Shall I go?"

Vanya immediately turns towards him... a mixture of slight hesitation and expectation on her face.

"So soon...? I mean... you should go meet Ma..."

Kabir looks at him for a few seconds... as if confirming that Vanya really wants him to come inside.

Then he nods slightly.

"Okay."

The main door of Vanya House was already open... as if someone had heard their arrival.

As soon as they enter the hall, Vanya's mother smiles brightly at the sight of them.

"Areyyy... you guys have come!"

Pakhi immediately runs over and hugs them.

"Auntyyy... I missed you so much!"

Vanya's mother laughs and lovingly pats her head.

"I missed you both so much too..."

Then she turns to Aryan.

"Aryan beta... how are you?"

Aryan smiles respectfully.

"I'm fine, aunty."
She warmly hugs him too.

Then her eyes fall on Kabir, who was standing a little politely away.
Vanya softly speaks...
"Maa... this is Kabir..."

Kabir immediately says in a respectful tone,
"Hello aunty."

He bows his head slightly.

Vanya's mother gives a warm smile.
"Hello son... you didn't come in this morning, so please come in now."

Kabir gives a slight nod... but his posture still retains polite restraint.

Everyone settles into the living room.

Pakhi is already sprawled out on the sofa... as if the house were hers.

"Aunty... please tell me what's for lunch."

Aryan gives her a sideways glare... "Control."

Vanya's mother laughs.

"You two haven't changed at all... and since Pakhi is for you, I've made everything you love."

Then she looks at Kabir.

"Son... would you like something? Coffee... tea... juice?"

Kabir politely says, "No, Aunty... I just came to drop her off."

Vanya was silently looking at Kabir.

She didn't know why she was feeling a little strange... as if she wanted Kabir to stay a little longer.

Kabir checks the time on his watch... then calmly says,
"Aunty... I'll be leaving now... they must be waiting at home."

Vanya's mother gives a gentle nod.
"Of course, son... and thank you for dropping me off."

Kabir gives a polite smile.
"It's okay, Aunty."

Vanya's mother looks at Vanya again.
"Bablili... drop Kabir off outside."

Vanya freezes for a second... then nods softly. "Yes, mother..."

Kabir looks at her quietly... then they both walk away together.

In the living room, Pakhi whispers into Aryan's ear...
"Escort scene start..."

Aryan sighs... but a slight amused smile forms on his lips.

Vanya and Kabir emerge from the main door...

A light evening breeze was blowing...

And they both walk silently towards the gate for a few seconds.

Vanya and Kabir cross the gate and reach the parking area.

There was a slight silence between them... as if both wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

Reaching the car, Kabir stops... and slowly turns towards Vanya.

His gaze falls on Vanya's face... where a slight sadness was clearly visible.

Kabir leans forward a little and softly asks,
"What happened...? Why are you sad...?"

Vanya immediately shakes her head... but the emotion hidden in her eyes was easily visible.

Kabir sighs slightly... then speaks in a gentle tone, "Bunny... you know... I don't like you at all when you're sad... now tell me... did I do something wrong...? I'm sorry..."

Vanya immediately looks at him and quickly says, "You didn't do anything wrong... Wow... You're coming back in two days, aren't you..."

Kabir's expression softens. He gently places his hand on Vanya's head and lightly strokes her hair.
"So that's why my cutie is sad...?"

He then smiles slightly, "But what can I do... I can't just skip studies..."

Vanya pouts and nods softly.
"Hmm..."

Kabir looks at her pout and smiles slightly. He grabs Vanya's chin with his fingers and tilts her face slightly so that he can look into her eyes.

"Come on now... don't be sad. How will I focus on my studies if my sunshine stays this dull...?"

His voice softens even more.

"Smile... and I promise... I'll talk to you every day."

A small smile slowly appears on Vanya's lips.

Kabir, seeing that smile, seems completely lost for a few seconds... his gaze slowly shifts to Vanya's lips.

Vanya was also feeling that gaze... her heartbeat speeds up slightly... an intense yet innocent moment freezes between them.

Then suddenly, Kabir looks to the side... as if controlling himself. He didn't want to pressure Vanya so quickly... he wanted Vanya to feel completely comfortable with him.

Kabir smiles slightly, awkwardly,
"Whoa... sorry... my eyes... went a little...."

Vanya smiles softly after hearing his words. Kabir takes a deep breath and says, "Okay... I'm leaving now..."

He opens his car door... but his attention shifts for just a moment.

Just then...

Vanya suddenly steps forward... and quickly plants a soft kiss on Kabir's cheek.

"Safe drive..."
With that, she immediately runs towards the house, blushing.

Kabir freezes completely.

His hand is still on the car door... but his eyes are fixed on Vanya... who takes quick steps into the house.

Even after the door closes, Kabir remains standing there... the warmth of Vanya's kiss is still felt on his cheek.

A soft, emotional smile slowly forms on his lips.

He lightly touches his cheek... and whispers softly,
"Crazy girl..."
Then he gets in the car... starts the engine... but that same soft smile still remains on his face.

Vanya slowly enters the hall room...
In the hall, Pakhi and Aryan were sitting on the sofa, eating snacks. Chips, cookies, and cold drinks were spread out on the table.

As Vanya enters, Pakhi's gaze immediately falls upon her. She raises an eyebrow and observes her... as Vanya's face turns slightly pink... and there's a soft smile on her lips, unknowingly.

Pakhi speaks in a suspicious tone, "🤨What happened...? Why has your complexion turned peachy...?"

Vanya freezes for a second... then awkwardly looks away and says,

"Shut up, Pakhi..."

And without another word, she quickly runs towards the stairs.

Pakhi looks at Aryan with a confused expression.

"What happened to him now...?"

Aryan calmly shrugs, eating chips.

"Love virus... maybe..."

Pakhi gives him a sideways glare... but then they both go back to snacking.

Downstairs, Vanya reaches her room...
She closes the door... and falls straight onto the bed. Her heart was still beating slightly fast.

She smiles softly, staring at the ceiling... her fingers unknowingly touch her lips... where Kabir's presence is still felt.

Just then...
her phone rings.

Vanya quickly picks up the phone... and seeing the name on the screen, her heartbeat skips for a second.

Kabir calling...
A shy smile automatically appears on her lips.

She takes a deep breath and picks up the call.

"Hello..."

Kabir's playful and slightly dramatic voice comes from the other side,
"Bunny... you gave me a heart attack and then ran away like that...?"

Vanya immediately starts laughing... her laughter was a mix of both shyness and happiness.

Kabir says in a teasing tone,
"Are you laughing...? One day I'll definitely get revenge for this..."

Vanya controls her smile and says, "Yes... take it... just put the phone down now... don't let your attention wander while driving..."

Kabir chuckles slightly.
"Yes, Madam... I will obey your orders... I will call you later..."

"Hmm..." Vanya replies softly.
The call is disconnected.

Vanya stares at the phone screen for a few seconds... a dreamy smile on her face.

She places the phone on her chest, closes her eyes, and whispers softly,
"Crazy..."

Kabir is driving away after hanging up the phone... but he too has a soft smile on his face.

The car stops at a traffic signal...
Kabir picks up the phone for a second... and unlocks the screen.

On the lock screen was Vanya's photo... the same photo where she was making a cute expression with her cheeks puffed out while drinking bubble tea.

Kabir stares at the photo quietly... warmth and affection were clearly visible in his eyes.
He lightly traces his thumb along Vanya's cheek on the screen... and softly says,
"You really are the cutest surprise of my life, Bunny..."

The signal turns green... Kabir locks his phone... and starts driving again.

But that same soft smile still lingers on his lips.

Scene Shift - 1.5 Years Later

Vanya, dressed in a sari, hurried down the stairs. Her feet were practically running... her phone clutched tightly in her hand.

"Mom, I'm getting late... I'm leaving!"

she says, running towards the entrance.

Her mother's voice comes from the kitchen,

"Go carefully! And take the driver with you!"

"Yes, Mom!" Vanya quickly replies.

She steps out of the house. The driver was already standing near the car. He respectfully opens the car door.

Vanya quickly gets into the car.

"Driver uncle... airport."
The driver just smiles and nods, and the car starts.

The car was moving smoothly on the road...
Vanya slowly unlocked her phone...
On the screen was a photo of her and Kabir. They were smiling at each other... The photo clearly showed them both very happy together.

Vanya softly touched the photo... and warmth welled up in her eyes.

Vanya's POV

"Finally... I can't explain how happy I am..."

"Finally, Kabir is coming back permanently today... after completing his studies..."

"He has taken so much care of me in these 1.5 years..."

"We haven't been together much... because of his studies... but whenever he came on vacation... he would make time for me..."

"He remembers every little thing..."

"He always makes me feel... that I'm important to him..."

"We even had an official engagement a year ago..."

"I don't know... when I started loving him so much..."

"In In 1.5 years... not once has he made me feel uncomfortable... nor has he ever disrespected me..."

"Just... always protected me... and understood me..."
An emotional smile forms on her lips.

POV end

The car stops in front of the airport.

The driver opens the door, and Vanya quickly gets out.

She enters the airport almost running and arrives at the waiting area.

She walks impatiently back and forth, sometimes glancing at the clock, sometimes at the entrance gate.

"Just a few more minutes..."
she says softly to herself.

Just then...
The announcement is made that the flight has landed.

Vanya's heart starts beating faster with excitement.

She stops near the arrival gate, her eyes focused solely on the exit door.

People start leaving one by one...
Families... couples... travelers...

But Vanya's eyes were searching for just one face.

And then...
Kabir comes out from the door.

Black shirt... travel jacket... bag on shoulder... a little tired... but the same charming smile.

As soon as his eyes fall on Vanya...

His face automatically brightens.

Kabir immediately waves at her.

A wide smile instantly forms on Vanya's lips... she waves back at him.

Kabir takes quick steps and approaches her...
And as soon as he reaches her...
Vanya hugs him tightly without waiting.

Kabir is surprised for a second... then instantly wraps her in his arms... pulling her even closer.

"It seems someone remembered me a lot..."
Kabir says with teasing softness.

Vanya lightly punches him in the chest,
"Shut up..."
Kabir laughs... and Vanya laughs back.

Kabir pulls back a little and looks at her face...
His gaze literally freezes on Vanya.
"You... in a sari..."
He almost whispers.

Vanya blushes.
"You like it, right? So, wear it. How do I look...?"

Kabir looks her up and down... pure admiration in his eyes.
"Dangerously beautiful..."

Vanya blushes and lowers her gaze.

Kabir softly lifts her chin.
"Did you miss me...?"

Vanya nods softly.

"Very..."
Kabir's expression instantly softens.

"Me too... Bunny..."
He then takes her in a soft side hug... as if he's finally found home.

Vanya softly says, "Come on... let's go... it's already 8:14 PM... Mama Janvi must be waiting..."

Kabir looks at her, gives her a warm smile and a slight nod.

"Yes... let's go Bunny."

They both walk towards the exit together. Kabir casually takes Vanya's bag. Vanya smiles softly at him... as if this small care of his makes her happy inside.

Scene Shift - Kabir's House.

The main door of the house opens.

Mama Janvi stood at the entrance holding a plate. A lamp was burning in the plate, flowers, and the tika was ready. Papa Ashok and some servants were also standing nearby.

Mama Janvi's eyes were clearly glowing with joy.
She takes off the tika from both of them... slowly, looking away, she says,
"May no one's evil eye fall on my children..."
Then she applies the tika to both of them.

Mama Janvi lovingly says,
"Now, put your right foot inside first, son..."

Kabir looks at Vanya and smiles. Vanya looks at him shyly... then together they put their right foot in and enter the house.

They both enter the hall room.

Mama Janvi lovingly says, "Kabir beta... go freshen up. Ashok ji... and take God's blessings."

Kabir nods. "I'll be back soon, Ma."
He gives Vanya a soft glance... then walks towards the stairs.

Janvi Mama turns to Vanya and says, "Daughter... you just sit here... the food is ready."

Vanya says respectfully, "Aunty... can I help?"

Janvi Mama looks at Ashok Papa for a second... then says lovingly, "Oh no, son... there's no need."

Vanya pouts slightly and says, "Janvi Mama... you told me yourself that I'm your daughter... so let me help..."

Janvi Mama's face instantly softens. She smiles. "Okay... come with me."

Vanya happily walks with them to the kitchen. The servants also get busy preparing the table.

Some Time Later

Kabir freshens up and enters the dining room. He had changed into comfortable home clothes.

As he enters the room, the smell of food hits him.

"Mom... what have you made? It smells so good..."

Mama Janvi and Vanya were arranging plates on the dinner table.

Mama Janvi proudly says,
"And what else... everything you like."

Kabir smiles childishly and hugs Mama Janvi.

"I love you, Mama..."
He also kisses her cheek.

Vanya smiles softly at this scene, her eyes welling with warmth.

Just then, Papa Ashok enters the dinner room.

"Oh wow... what a scent... it looks like it's a royal dinner today."

Everyone bursts into laughter.

Everyone sits at the dinner table.

Ashok Papa sits on the chair. Janvi Mama sits to his left... and Kabir to his right.

Vanya is about to sit next to Janvi Mama...
Then Janvi Mama lovingly says,

"Sweetheart... go sit next to Kabir."

Vanya instantly becomes shy... nods slightly... and goes and sits next to Kabir.

Kabir glances sideways at her... there was a slight teasing warmth in his eyes.

Servants begin serving everyone.

Dinner begins.

Kabir is genuinely delighted to see the food on his plate.

"Mom... seriously... I missed all this."

Ashok Papa smiles and says, "Did you just miss the food, or didn't the rest of the family?"

Kabir makes a dramatic expression, "Dad... obviously you do... but Mom's food is a different level of emotion."

Everyone laughs.

Kabir casually glances at Vanya's plate.

"Bunny... try this... you'll like it."

He serves a dish on her plate.

Vanya softly says, "Thank you..."

Mama Janvi quietly observes them both... satisfaction and happiness clearly visible in her eyes.

Papa Ashok also smiles silently... as if he's enjoying their bonding.

The atmosphere of dinner was warm... comfortable... and filled with a family vibe.

Kabir keeps asking Vanya intermittently, "Isn't it spicy?"

"Did you like this?"

"Can I have a little more?"
Vanya responds each time with a soft nod or a smile.

Dinner ends peacefully... and the entire atmosphere of the house is filled with a settled family warmth...

After dinner is over, everyone comes into the hall.

Servants are clearing tables, and the atmosphere in the hall has become calm and cozy.

Vanya stands up with a slight, nervous smile.

"Okay... then I'll be leaving..."
Everyone looks at her simultaneously.

Kabir asks, slightly surprised,

"Where?"

Vanya speaks in a slightly hesitant tone,

"Woh... home..."

Janvi Mama immediately says,

"So late at night? There's no need to go today... you'll stay here."

Vanya becomes a little awkward.
"But... before the wedding..."

Janvi Mama glances at Ashok Papa for a second... then speaks to Vanya in a loving and calm tone, "Son... our thoughts aren't that old. And you two are engaged... the wedding is in two months... what other relationship do you need to stop you now?"

Vanya smiles a little emotionally and shyly. Kabir also smiles quietly.

Ashok Papa also says in a warm tone,

"Yes, son... you are our daughter. And how can we send our daughter away like this at night? Stay here today."

Vanya is still a little unsure.

"But Mama, Pal..."

Janvi Mama says with a confident smile,

"I will handle that."

Then she looks at the servant and says,

"Get the guest room ready... and show Vanya to your son."

The servant respectfully bows his head and waves in Vanya's direction.

Vanya looks at Kabir for a moment. Kabir gives her a reassuring smile.

Vanya smiles softly, nods at Mama Janvi and Papa Ashok... then walks upstairs with the servant.

As Vanya walks up the stairs...
Kabir sighs with a relaxed sigh and says,
"Thank you, Mom... Dad... you guys let Vanya stay."

Mama Janvi gives him a teasing look.
"Yes... but that doesn't mean you can barge into her room at night."

Kabir instantly becomes embarrassed.
"Mama..."

Ashok Papa manages to suppress a slight laugh.

Kabir nods with an awkward smile... then says,
"Good night..."

Mama Janvi says with a mischievous smile,
"Good night, son... and go straight to your room."

Kabir gives her a fake glare... then walks towards the stairs.

Scene Shift - Guest Room

The servant opens the door to the guest room.
The room is elegantly decorated with warm lighting. Soft pastel bedsheets, a balcony, and fresh flowers on the side table.

"Madam... if you need anything, please press the bell."

Vanya smiles politely.

"Thank you."

The servant leaves.

Vanya slowly enters the room... closes the door... and observes the room.

A faint, dreamy smile appears on her face.

She sits on the edge of the bed... and sighs softly... as if her heart is experiencing a lot today.

She takes out her phone and turns on the screen, where her and Kabir's photo is the wallpaper.

Vanya softly whispers,

"Two months..."
Her cheeks turn slightly pink.

Some time later:

Vanya comes out of the bathroom and stands in front of the mirror, putting her hair into a bun.

Just then, there's a knock on Vanya's room door. Vanya walks over to the door and opens it. "Kabir... you?" Vanya looks at Kabir in confusion.

Kabir gives a mischievous smile and quickly enters the room, locking the door.

"What are you doing?" Vanya asks in a nervous voice.

Kabir turns towards her and, grabbing her waist, pulls her closer. "What are you doing?"

Vanya blushes. "What are you doing?"

Kabir brushes a lock of hair away from her face. "I just came to see the sunshine."

Vanya smiles. "I didn't want to see you. You could have seen me yesterday, but at this time of night?"

Kabir places his hand on Vanya's cheeks, rubbing her cheekbones with his thumb. "Well, I had to take my revenge."

Vanya furrows her eyebrows. "What revenge?" She pretends as if she doesn't know.

Kabir's voice falls behind Vanya's neck, "Don't act like you don't know anything." He pulls Vanya closer to him, their bodies touching. "Then make me remember you, all those photos, voice messages, and videos."

Vanya blushes and lowers her gaze. "You..."

Kabir smiles, grabs Vanya's chin and lifts it. "Why are you so embarrassed? You weren't embarrassed then. You openly ate from me, messages, videos, and now you're stealing gaze."

Vanya blushes, "Wow...we used to avoid everything, so we wouldn't have felt so embarrassed."

Kabir chuckles, "So if you feel embarrassed of me now, let me take away your embarrassment."

He kisses Vanya on the cheek. Vanya turns her eyes away, a shy smile on her face. "I know, Janvi, Mom, Ashok, and Dad, someone will find out."

Kabir kisses Tara on the other cheek. "They are busy, As soon as I came, I heard noises coming from there room."

Vanya looks at Kabir in shock and disbelief. "Shameless... They are Mom & dad ."

Kabir rolls his eyes. "Now that they are doing it, what can I say? Forget about them and think about us."

Vanya rolls her eyes. Kabir nods, "Come on, don't get angry."

Kabir carries Vanya into the bridal stall, and Vanya looks at him in shock. "You're just as strong as Aryan."

Kabir walks away, "Good!"

Vanya nods, "Yes, Aryan is very strong, and you're strong too, just like him. You know, he once carried me for five minutes."

Kabir's eyes darken at Vanya's words, and she pulls Vanya closer to her. "From now on, you won't need Aryan anymore because now I'm here for you."

Kabir puts Vanya to bed.

The light of night's tea filtered through the half-open curtains of Vanya's small bedroom, spreading a moon-like warmth over the folded sheets.

The scent of her vanilla-scented body lotion lingered in the air, mingling with the faint smell of sweat and anticipation.

Vanya sat on the edge of her bed, her plump thighs pressed together, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her saree. She had been waiting for this moment for weeks-ever since her lean, gym-fit boyfriend, Kabir, had kissed her for the first time with such desperate, almost restless intensity. Now, the door was closed and the outside world was forgotten, there was no turning back.

Kabir stood before her, his deep eyes locked on hers, his chest rising and falling with slow breaths. His T-shirt clung to the muscular muscles of his arms, the fabric pulled tightly around his slim waist.

He had always been confident, but now, when he reached out to touch her, his hands trembled. "Are you sure about this?" he asked in a husky voice, his fingers brushing her soft cheeks.

Vanya swallowed hard, nodding. "I've never... I mean, I don't know what I'm doing, isn't this wrong? We're married before," she admitted, her cheeks flushing red.

Kabir smiled, though his nervousness was just as evident. "I haven't, but I can't wait any longer, I still have two mouths left to marry, please let me."
He fell on his knees in front of Vanya.

Vanya nodded shyly.

He didn't wait for a second answer And he places his lips on Vanya's lips, the kiss was very soft at first, Vanya's eyes close and her hand automatically goes on Kabir's shoulder.

The kiss is getting deeper with time, Kabir's lips move towards her blouse covered breast like waist.

Vanya's mouth opens a little with a jerk and Kabir slides his tongue inside Vanya's mouth.

The room was filled with their muffled and wet "mmmmm" noises.

Kabir's hands went under her sari, his rough fingers caressing the curves of her breasts. Then, he pulled the blouse over her head, tossing it aside.

Vanya's breath caught as the cool breeze hit her bare skin. Her nipples tightened as his gaze fell on her.

Kabir groaned, his hands cupping her heavy breasts, his thumbs circling the dark, puckered nipples. "Wow, these are so big & perfect," he said softly, leaning in and capturing one nipple between his lips.

The wet warmth of his mouth sent waves of pleasure deep inside Vanya, and Vanya gasped, her back arching as he sucked harder, his teeth grazing her soft skin until Vanya let out a silent "aaahhh." When Kabir pulled back, a deep, bruised mark appeared on her pale skin, and the sight of it made her ache with desire.

His mouth moved downward, kissing and lightly biting the softness of her stomach. His tongue dipped into her navel. Then, his fingers glided over the waistband of her saree, and Vanya didn't know when she had lost all her charms and when he was her upper body in name only. Kabir's hand caught the waistband of her panties.

Vanya lifted her hips, letting him pull the fabric down her thighs, her heart thumping as she lay naked before him.

Kabir's hot breath brushed the insides of her thighs as he spread her legs, his fingers brushing the slick folds of her vagina. "You're so wet already," he growled, his voice thick with excitement.

Before she could say anything, his tongue brushed against her clitoris, and Vanya screamed, her fingers tangling in his short, dark hair.

He didn't tease her-he had her completely in his control, his tongue swirling and pressing, his lips wrapping around her sensitive clitoris as he sucked. The sensations were intense, her hips bucking against his face as pleasure tightened in her stomach.

But Kabir wasn't done yet. He inserted two fingers inside her, curling them upwards, and Vanya moaned and pushed back against the bed, her vaginal walls clenching around his penetration. "K-Kabir, I-I can't-" she stammered, her body trembling. He laughed softly above her, the vibration making her sob. "You can. Give yourself up to me."

His fingers moved in and out, his thumb pressed against her clitoris, and orgasm washed over her like a wave, her back arching off the bed and she climaxed with a broken scream.

Kabir didn't stop licking her, drawing out every last tremor until she lay lifeless and breathless beneath him.

He crawled up her body, climbing up, his penis straining inside his jeans, its thick curve impossible to ignore.

Vanya reached out, her fingers tangling with the button of his pants. "I want you inside me," she whispered in a trembling voice. Kabir's hands stopped hers, his forehead resting against hers. "We don't need to rush-" She stopped him from kissing her, her tongue slipping between his lips.

He groaned, giving in, and within seconds, his jeans were off, his penis free-thick, red, and oozing from the tip.

Vanya wrapped her hand around him and began stroking slowly. Kabir winced, his waist bucking under Vanya's touch. "Damn it, Vanya, if you keep doing this, I'll cum before I even get inside you."

He bit his lip, the thought of unleashing him sending a thrill through his body.

But she wanted more. She wanted him completely. Taking him to her entrance, she gasped when his wide head pressed against her slick folds. Kabir's breathing quickened as he pushed forward, his penis slowly opening her inch by inch.

The burn was intense, her body resisting at first, but then he was fully inside her, his waist pressed against her thighs.

"Oh my God!" Kabir moaned, his forehead resting on Vanya's shoulder. Vanya could feel him throbbing inside her, filling her in ways she'd never imagined.

She wrapped her legs around his waist, urging him forward. He slowly pulled back, then pushed forward, and the friction sent tingles through her body. "More," she pleaded, her nails digging into his back.

Kabir obeyed, his hips moving faster, his penis hitting that perfect spot inside her with each thrust. The bed creaked beneath them, the sound mingling with their heavy breathing and the wet sound of skin slapping against each other.

Vanya felt her second orgasm approaching, her vagina fluttering around him. "I'm about to orgasm again," she gasped, and Kabir groaned, his own orgasm approaching. "Do it. Orgasm on my penis." His words drove her wild, her vagina clenching tightly around him as waves of pleasure coursed through her body.

Kabir also climaxed with a deep groan, his penis throbbing as he ejaculated inside her, his semen filling her in hot, thick waves. He collapsed on top of her, his chest heaving, his breath hot against her neck.

They remained in that position for a few moments, enjoying the shock, then Kabir slowly pulled out, his semen dripping from her well-used vagina, along with blood. But he wasn't done yet. With a devilish smile, he flipped her onto her stomach and lifted her onto her knees. "Again," he growled, his hands gripping her waist and straightening behind her. Vanya moaned as he thrusted in again, her buttocks pressed against his thighs as he fucked her from behind, his testicles slamming into her with each deep thrust.

The angle was different, deeper, and Vanya screamed when he hit a spot that made her see stars. "You feel so good," Kabir groaned, his fingers digging into her soft skin. "I won't last much longer-" His words dissolved into a moan as he climaxed again, his semen flooding her vagina as he plunged himself all the way inside. Vanya sobbed, the feeling of him throbbing inside her bringing her own climax, her body wringing every last drop from him.

Kabir lay sprawled beside her, his chest rising and falling in slow, steady breaths, his skin slick with a sheen of sweat that caught the fading moonlight filtering through the half-drawn curtains. His cock, still half-hard from their last round, rested heavily against his thigh, twitching occasionally as if refusing to fully surrender to exhaustion. Vanya propped herself up on one elbow, her gaze drifting downward, her fingers tracing idle patterns over her own stomach before wandering lower. She bit her lip, her curiosity piqued by the way her body still throbbed with residual pleasure, the way her own touch sent little sparks through her nerves.

Kabir noticed. Of course he did. His dark eyes followed the path of her fingers, a slow, knowing smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. He reached out, his own hand warm as it covered hers, stilling her exploration just as her fingertips brushed the damp curls between her thighs. "You're still thinking about it, huh?" His voice was rough, threaded with amusement and something darker-something hungry. Vanya's cheeks flushed, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she nodded, her breath hitching as his thumb pressed lightly against her clit, drawing a quiet gasp from her lips. "Good," he murmured, his touch shifting, guiding her hand upward instead. "Because I've been thinking about you thinking about it."

Her fingers brushed against the hot, velvety skin of his cock before she fully registered what he was doing. Kabir's breath hitched, his abs tightening as her palm instinctively curled around his shaft, her thumb grazing the sensitive underside. He was still slick from her, the evidence of their last round glistening at the tip, and the realization sent a fresh wave of heat pooling between her thighs. "K-Kabir," she stammered, her pulse quickening. "I don't-I mean, I've never-" She swallowed hard, her grip faltering, but he didn't let her retreat.

"Neither have I," he admitted, his voice low, almost a growl. His hand slid up to tangle in her hair, not pulling, just holding, grounding her as his hips lifted slightly, pressing his cock more firmly into her grasp. "But I've fantasized about it. About you." His free hand cupped her chin, tilting her face up until their eyes met. The raw honesty in his gaze made her stomach flip. "Your mouth, Vanya. Those soft, fucking lips." His thumb brushed over her lower lip, parting them slightly, and she could taste herself on his skin, salty and sweet. "I want to feel them around me. Want to teach you how to drive me crazy with that pretty mouth."

A shiver ran through her, her nipples tightening into stiff peaks. The idea should've terrified her-she'd never done this before, never even considered it with the clumsy, fumbling boys she'd kissed in the past. But this was Kabir. The man who'd just spent the last hour worshipping every inch of her body, who'd made her scream his name until her voice gave out. If she trusted anyone to guide her through this, it was him. She licked her lips, her grip tightening around his cock, testing the weight of it in her hand. "Show me," she whispered.

Kabir's breath stuttered, his cock jerking in her grip. "Fuck, yes," he groaned, his hand sliding from her hair to the back of her neck, urging her downward. He didn't rush her, though. Instead, he shifted, scooting back until his shoulders pressed against the headboard, giving her space to kneel between his spread thighs. His cock stood proud now, fully hard again, the thick vein along the underside throbbing as she wrapped her fingers around the base. "Start slow," he instructed, his voice strained. "Just... fuck, just lick it first. Get used to the taste."

Vanya hesitated only a second before leaning in, her breath ghosting over the flushed head. The scent of him-musky, male, theirs-filled her senses, and when her tongue darted out, tentative, the first taste of him sent a jolt straight to her core. Salty, earthy, addictive. Kabir's entire body tensed, his fingers flexing against her neck as she lapped at the pre-cum beading at his slit, her tongue swirling in slow, experimental strokes. "That's it," he rasped, his hips twitching upward, seeking more. "Just like that. Fuck, Vanya-" His voice broke as she took the head between her lips, her tongue pressing flat against the underside, exploring the ridged texture.

She pulled back with a wet pop, her lips glistening. "Is this... okay?" she asked, her voice breathy, her confidence growing as his cock pulsed in her hand.

Kabir let out a rough laugh, his abs clenching. "Baby, if you don't stop asking me that, I'm gonna lose it." His hand guided her back down, his thumb brushing her cheek. "Now suck. Not too hard-just enough to make me feel you." He groaned as she obeyed, her cheeks hollowing as she took him deeper, her lips sealing around his shaft. The sounds she made-wet, sloppy, filthy-filled the room, and Kabir's grip on her hair tightened, his breath coming in sharp, uneven bursts. "That's good," he grunted, his voice thick with strain. "Now use your hand too. Twist it when you pull up-fuck, just like that-"

Vanya moaned around him, the vibration making his cock jerk. She followed his instructions, her fist pumping the base while her mouth worked the top half, her tongue never still. The more she listened to his reactions-the way his thighs trembled, the way his curses turned desperate-the bolder she became. She took him deeper, her throat opening around the head, and Kabir's entire body locked up, a guttural sound tearing from his chest. "Shit-Vanya, I'm-fuck, I'm close-" His warning came too late, or maybe she just didn't care. She hollowed her cheeks, her fingers tightening around the base, and with a broken cry, he came, his cum spilling over her tongue in thick, hot pulses.

She swallowed instinctively, the taste of him flooding her senses, her own arousal dripping down her thighs. Kabir's hands were in her hair, his chest heaving as he dragged her up, crashing their mouths together in a kiss that was all teeth and desperation. "You're fucking incredible," he panted against her lips, his cock still twitching between them. "I need-fuck, I need to be inside you again."

They switched positions again-Vanya was on top of him, her breasts bouncing as she rocked her hips, Kabir's hands gripping her waist and thrusting into her.

Then, leaning against the wall, her legs wrapped around him and he held her down, his penis plunging into her with perfect precision. And finally, at the edge of the bed, Vanya lay back and Kabir stood between her spread thighs, his penis glistening with their combined arousal, fucking her with deep, hard thrusts.

Each time he entered her, his semen leaked from her swollen vagina and rushed back in with the next thrust.

By the fifth time, Vanya's body was covered in sweat and bruises, her thighs trembled, her voice hoarse from screaming.

Kabir's final orgasm left her completely exhausted, his penis throbbing as the last drop of his semen filled her. He collapsed beside her, enveloping her in his arms, their bodies sticky and satiated.

Vanya's vagina ached, her thighs were soaked with semen, but she had never felt so alive before. She turned her head and

kissed Kabir's shoulder. "We'll do it again," she said, her voice heavy with exhaustion and satisfaction. Kabir smiled, his fingers slowly circling her waist. "Give me ten minutes," he replied, and Vanya laughed, snuggling closer to Kabir.

Vanya rests her head on Kabir's shoulder. "That was very nice." Kabir places his hand on Tara's waist and kisses her forehead. "I took it too."

They remain silent for a while, then Vanya asks, "Can I ask you something?"

Kabir kisses Vanya's cheeks. "My love, you can ask me anything?"

His hand moves from Vanya's waist to her sore breast, and he softly cups it.

Vanya asks hesitantly, "Wow... Shruti, she's been missing him for 1.5 years."

At this, Kabir's eyes darken, and he pinches Vanya's nipple between his two fingers, "So?"

Vanya calms down a little and says, "Is that true? I heard it from someone."

Kabir climb over to Vanya and looks her in the eye, "Why are you asking about her?"

Vanya calms down, "She must be his family's problem, right?"

Kabir's eyes close, "Baby, you have a very big heart." But then Kabir's eyes darken completely.
He said... "Whatever she has done, if she is suffering the consequences of it & now no more talk about sruti."

Vanya nod.

Kabir the devil says, "Let's do the 6th round now."

Vanya looks at Kabir in shock, "But... we already have the 5th round."

Kabir 🤨 "So, baby, you didn't ask."

Vanya's mouth opens slightly, then closes, "I... I was just joking."

Kabir 😏 "But not me." And with that one, Kabir's penis slides inside Vanya's injured vagina, filling the room with the slapping and wet noises & moaning again.
