"RV "Was all that escaped out of Kriya's mouth. Rey turned towards her to make sure whether he heard correctly or not. But, on seeing stand like a statue, rooted to her spot cleared his doubt. He turned towards Ranvijay or better says RV. That man was staring at Kriya with his eyes conveying accomplishment of his mission of finding her. He smirked at her making her scare. All the horrid and obnoxious past of hers flashed in front of her eyes. Tears threatened to fall out of her eyes.
"Hey bro." Rey said farcing a smile on his face. Both of them hugged each other. Only rey knew how he controlled his temper. Once they pulled back, Rey introduced kriya and RV. "Bro, meet the love of my like Kriya. And Kriya this is my cousin Ranvijay." On hearing the words love of my life' RV's nose flared a bot but composing himself he forwarded his hand and spoke "Nice to meet you Kriya." Her hand quivered as she forwarded it and forced a smile on her face.
"You look so beautiful Kriya." Saying this he was about to kiss the back of her hand but Kriya pulled it back instantly. RV leaned in a bit and said "Still the same rebellious Kriya you are." Rey heard that but controlling his anger he turned towards Dhruv and spoke "Mr.Singhaniya, would you show us our rooms or we have to search them?"
"Shyaam, take them to their rooms." Dhruv ordered a servant. Once kriya and rey left, RV turned towards Sanchita and spoke "Thanks bua, for informing me that you had seen kriya the other day at Rey's house."
"You don't need to thank me dear. All we want is our son back, so who cares about Kriya?" All the three of them laughed. It was a pre-planned conspiracy.
"You will have to pay for this." Sanchita's mother spoke and left.
They servant showed them their rooms and left. Their rooms were almost adjacent to each other with a intervention of another room in between. And that intervention was unfortunately RV's room. Both of them were in Kriya's room.
"Rey I don't want to live here. Can we go back please?" She asked hugging him tight. Rey didn't like seeing her in this way. He stroked her hairs and made her sit on the bed. But she wasn't ready to let go of him. He head was still dug in his face while silently tears made their way out. He managed to pull her back and wiped her tears. Leaning in, he captured her lips in his. She didn't rebel to it cause maybe she needed this. He slowly smooched on to her lips and responded back to it. After feeling that she has calmed down, he pulled back.
"I wouldn't mind taking you back, but then I don't want that bas***d to think that you are a coward." Rey said.
"You will be there with me right?"
"Obviously, I will be there with you for the rest of your life." He said looking into her eyes.
"I love you." Saying this she hugged him.
"Love you too baby."
"Ah! What a romantic moment guys." RV said entering the room.
"Dude buzz off from here." Rey said harshly. Rey never liked this guy. And now he hated him to every extent.
"Easy bro. Relax. And I must really thank you bro for changing my sweet fianc."
"I am not your fianc." Kriya said.
"Really? They why is this ring still in your hand. Why don't you throw it away?" He said casually. Kriya hated this. Neither she could throw this ring away nor did she want to keep it with her. It was her mother's sole remembrance.
"Kriya give me the ring." Rey demanded.
"But rey.."
"Give me the ring Kriya." As per said by Rey, Kriya gave him the ring. Rey caressed the ring and then kissed it. Taking Kriya's hand in his, he slid it back to its position. "Now she's my fiance. Happy Mr.Ranvijay?" Rey said smirking at him. Kriya smiled at rey's gesture whilst Ranvijay went away stomping his feet.

It was around 10 pm in the night. Both Rey and Kriya were in their respective rooms. Kriya was resting on her bed turning from one side to the other. She just couldn't sleep. The fear that RV would enter room distorted her sleep. She checked the door whether it was locked or not. It was locked. It was the nth time she was checking the door. She knew she would never be able to sleep if she would be here. At first she decided to go to Rey's room and spend the night in his room. But then her mind wandered off stating that it would not be correct to disturb him at this hour of the night. After pacing to and fro for a while she decided to implement on the former.
Taking small steps she walked in the corridor. Taking a deep breath she walked past RV's room but before she could cross it, she felt a pull on her arm. She knew it was RV. He pulled her inside his room and trapped her in between the door and him after locking it.
"Leave me." She said.
"Not so soon. Itne dino baad mili ho mujhse, thoda toh time spend karlo."
"Chodo mujhe."
"And what if I don't? Looks like you are in a big hurry to spend the night with your boyfriend. Give me sometime as well honey." He said sliding a finger from her forehead to chin.
"Shut up and let go of me."
"Arrey arrey itni jaldi hai apne Romeo ke saath bed share karne ki. Aisa kya hai Rey mein jo mujhe mein nahi? Uske saath bed share karne mein koi problem nahi but mere saath hoti thi? Vo tumhe hug and kiss kare toh chalta hai aur mein karu toh galat?" he said callously while clutching her hairs in fist making her wince in pain.
"Get your dirty mind cleared. Rey and tumhare beech bahut bada difference hai, and that is ki unke paas dil hai jo tumhnare paas nahi."
"Unke paas..huh...not bad.."
"Now if you're done with your drama, let me go."
"I will...I will let you go sweetheart, but not so soon. " Saying this he dug his head in her crook.
"You still smell the same." Kriya pushed him hard and excaped form there. Involuntarily her legs proceeded towards Rey's room. Composing herself, she knocked on the door.
"Kriya, are you fine? You seemed to be a little stressed." He asked as soon as he opened the door.
"Can I spend the night in your room, please?" She asked meekly.
"Of course you can. Come in."
As she entered him, she told him everything what happened with her few minutes back. "I will not leave that bas***d."
"Rey no, stop. Please don't go. I'm scared."
"Okay. I think you should sleep. You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the couch."
"Can we share the same bed, please? I'm too scared right now."
"I'm just around you Kriya, you'll be fine."
"What's wrong?" She asked studying the hesitation on his face when she mentioned that she wanted to share the bed with him.
"Nothing.."
"Aap mujhse jhoot nahi bol sakte."
"It's just that...I wouldn't be able to control myself and I don't want to do something against your consent. So its better I stay away from you."
"I know you will." She replied with a smile which conveyed that she trusted him more than anything else. He leaned in and kissed her lips, before making her sleep. Kriya felt safe in his arms.
