Shlok's POVGod!! Please help me with her. Put some sense into her. I thought that she was going away but she stopped and was still looking at me.What was wrong with her??" What? " I asked." I am a bit hungry. Will you come to eat something with me?? " She asked.What??" We just had dinner, what were you doing at that time?? Thinking of your precious fiancee or busy appreciating Arun?? " I asked her with annoyance as I wanted her to go to the safety of her room. But the stubborn girl asked again and when I refused again, she made a face and went back to her room. Thank God!!I made sure that she was in the room and then I went to the jungle that was behind the hotel and saw Arun talking to some armed men.He was telling them, how a very rich and beautiful girl was about to fall into their trap. She wanted the statues and first they could sell some statues to her and get the money and then kidnap her to extract some money from her rich parents and then sell her as she is very prett
Shlok's POV As her hand moved to strike me, my reflexes kicked in, swiftly catching her wrist and gently twisting it behind her back.Never before had I reacted to such actions with a girl, but the need to halt the pointless argument and ensure our safety prevailed.Despite her struggles, I maintained my grip, ignoring the discomfort, my focus on my mission was consumed by the proximity of our faces.Strange, almost illicit thoughts flitted through my mind, I promptly dismissed as I chided myself inwardly for such filmy notions.Her anger seemed to enhance her beauty, a notion reminiscent of movie clichés depicting fiery allure that girls look more beautiful when they are angry... Just like an angry cat. Enough, Shlok! Don't soften. She is a troublemaker, and yielding to sentiment will only exacerbate matters. She will land her as well as you in a new problem. My inner voice cautioned.Right!! With a firm tone, I asserted my authority, demanding compliance with my directives, still
Shlok's POV Oh, God!! Her stubborn behavior was going to get us killed. Maybe I lost my patience or I don't know how but the very next moment I pulled her to me and before I could understand, my lips claimed hers, hard and fiercely.I don't know what got over me, I kissed her almost forcefully, She tried to move away but could not. She tried to keep her lips closed but I bit her lower lip, she gasped and my lips forced hers to open wider and my tongue slipped into her mouth and I kissed her hard. Shlok!! Stop it!! What are you doing? Shlok?? Stop kissing her. I heard the voice but I was enjoying every second of it. My body felt some sparks... That I had never felt before. I had never been in a relationship but had kissed a few girls who tried to flirt with me, I wanted to see what was so good about kissing and getting close to girls that Shaurya was enjoying so much.So I had kissed and made out with a few girls and it was needed for my profession too, where I could need to flirt o
Third Person POVSomewhere near the hospital...Same nightShaurya was waiting at a cafe that remained open till midnight. He was planning his next step when Ron came. " What happened?? Are you all alright? " " I am fine... " " But you said it was a matter of life and death... That's why I came here as fast as I could. Do you even know how difficult it was for me to come at this hour?? I am married now and like any married man, I have to give reasons to my wife if I have to come out at night like this, especially with my old image of a casanova. Mihir is getting married and I was buried in work up to my neck. As we were in the Shahs' mansion I had to explain to Mehul uncle as well. I was too busy for your pranks... " He was getting annoyed. " Will you stop talking and listen to me?? What is wrong with everyone, no one is listening to me? " Shaurya got annoyed. " What is there to listen to, I don't have time for the gossip about random girls... We will talk about it the day afte
Third person's POVVikram came running in and looked at Gautam. " He is showing some symptoms of cardiac arrest... " Gautam said. " This idiot is always getting hyper over stupid things. I am going to kill him myself if he survives. " Gautam said and checked him. Only Megha and Mihir were present there along with Vikram and Gautam. Vikram checked and asked some questions to Mehul. He answered by shaking or nodding his head. Vikram's assistant doctor came in shortly to record his ECG, and blood pressure, and take a sample for a blood test. The situation was very tense at their home and after looking at the ECG and blood pressure and asking questions from Mehul, Vikram said, " It was not a cardiac arrest, he had a 'Broken Heart Syndrome' In this the heart’s main pumping chamber changes shape, affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively." Everyone took a deep breath. " It is not fatal like cardiac arrest but we need to take care of him. We should not give him any stress
Shlok's POV (Flask back)We managed to reach the airstrip without being noticed, slipping into one of the small planes without drawing attention. Her expression shifted to shock when I announced that I would be the one flying."Can you even fly?" she asked, her voice laced with disbelief."I can. I've taken a crash course..." I replied casually, enjoying her reaction."Really... Thank God!" She let out a sigh of relief, though I couldn't resist teasing her further."Though I never finished it..." I grinned mischievously, watching her reaction closely.Her shock was evident, and I sensed she might faint. It was satisfying to see her taken aback for once. It was my territory and I was comfortable here due to my training but she was totally lost here. So, it felt fair enough to tease her, considering she'd teased me endlessly in the past. "Just kidding! I know how to fly it. Don't worry," I reassured her, trying to ease her nerves."Let's go!" Despite her lingering fear, she didn't pr
Shlok's POV I checked the plane, relieved to find it salvageable, yet unable to ignore the tension between us. Being in such proximity with her was definitely getting on my nerves I was scared the way I kissed her twice in an hour. I checked the plane and was relieved to see that I managed to land it safely. I went back to her and she was still very emotional. I told her that the damage was severe. When she asked about repairing it, her hopeful gaze stirred something within me, as if I had the solution to all her problems. Well, I liked that and wished I could solve all her problems and fly it again but it was not possible as there was no fuel. As she looked around, her anxiety was evident, she was tensed and scared of the dark and animals or insects. I reassured her that she could rest inside the plane until morning when we'd need to devise a plan. *** Luckily we found certain things that were essential to survive in a jungle. Like food, drinks, a blanket, medicine, an a
Shlok's POVAs I submerged myself in the cool waters, I whispered a silent prayer of gratitude to God that I managed to get her out of danger. Then I thanked for the food, and other supplies and for the beauty that surrounded me, both in the natural world and in the sleeping beauty that was sleeping beside me a few moments ago. With a silent promise to return, I shed my clothes and stepped into the gentle current, feeling its refreshing embrace envelop me like a lover's embrace. The water was crystal clear, revealing the smooth stones beneath my feet as I waded deeper into its depths.With each stroke, I felt the weight of the world slipping away, replaced by a sense of freedom and renewal. The cool water embraced me like a second skin, cleansing away the remnants of the night and rejuvenating my spirit with each passing moment. As I swam, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty that surrounded me, grateful for the gift of this new day in paradise.As the sun climbed higher in the s
