Author note----

Here is the update for my lovely readers...Keep reading and be happy💜

It was quite dark in the deep forest...The full moon couldn't help much in the deep forest...The branches and leaves are an obstacle here... They are giving the environment a haunted look...

Janvi was running....She was trying to run fast, as she was running for her life... Darkness and her saree making it difficult for her to run...She was panting hard....Her mouth and throat was totally dry... The whole situation was making her more thirsty...

She couldn't run more....So, she stood holding a tree and was taking deep breaths to supply her lungs more oxygen....Her heart was beating rapidly....

Suddenly, there was again loud gunshots which made Janvi startled in fear...She was shaking vulnerably...This situation made her cry out in helplessness...She started to run again...There was no strength left in her body....But she have run away from here...She was dragging her body with her self power...

After running sometime she stand still...She was middle of the forest...She doesn't know where to go... She lost the track which direction she was supposed to go...She looked around being panicked but didn't get any way...

"Oh my god, I have lost the direction..."

Janvi started to cry loud...

"Which direction should I go now?.."

She asked herself as there was no one to answer her...

Suddenly, some wild animals started to roar which turned Janvi's blood cold...She was already scared and now these wild animals roar made the situation even worse...

Janvi ran to the opposite direction from where the wild animals making sounds....She ran as fast as she could...

All of a sudden, she stepped on some sharp things which get into her feet...She winched in pain...She had to leave the wooden house hurriedly...That moment she was not in the position to wear any footwear...

She tried to see what got into her feet but couldn't because of the darkness...She touched her feet and that thing...It was some sharp branches with thorns... She doesn't know how many got into her feet....

She tried to pull them out which made her cry in pain...

"I have to take them out...yes...I can do it..."

She motivated herself....She wiped her tears and took a deep breath and pulled that branch.... It was very painful...She bit her lower lip not to make any sound but some sobs escaped from her mouth...

She took out 2/3 throns and she felt some was still inside...She wiped her face and tried to take some steps forward...She couldn't walk much with her wounded feet...

She looked around and found a tree with a large log...She limped towards the tree and sat down with difficulties...She shrieked hearing the wild animals roar again...She brought her knees to her chest and hugged herself...She buried her face into her knees and cried silently...

Some hours ago-

"HOW IS YOU NECK?...IS IT BURNING OR ITCHING?"

Arjun asked while placing the lunch tray in front of Janvi...Janvi didn't replied and kept looking at her lap...

"YOU BETTER REPLY WHEN I ASKED SOMETHING..."

Arjun's warning made Janvi shivered...She was angry with him....He tied her hands for hours and didn't even bother to remove it...It didn't block her blood circulation but it was painful...

"N-n-no....please open the...."

Arjun glared Janvi which made her stop in the middle of her sentence...She instantly looked down...

Arjun inspected the affected area...It was looking better than before... It would have even battered if she didn't scratches...Some spots turned into darker shade...If someone sees these rashes they might think those mark's something else...

"TURN AROUND..."

Janvi's immediately looked up at Arjun with her big eyes...

"IF YOU DON'T TURN AROUND WITHIN 2 SECONDS, I WILL CHANGE MY MIND AND WILL KEEP YOU TIED FOR 1 WHOLE DAY..."

Arjun threatened Janvi and Janvi instantly turned around... Arjun untied the handkerchief and freed Janvi's hand...

Janvi pulled her hands into her lap and started to massage as it was paining and it had turned red also...

"FINISH THE FOOD....WHEN I WILL RETURN THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY LEFTOVER..."

Saying that Arjun started to leave the room...

"I can't eat that much...."

Janvi's voice made Arjun stopped on his track and he turned around...

"I DIDN'T ASK YOU....THESE SHOULD BE FINISHED..."

Arjun spoked pointing at the food and left the room...

"Cold hearted monster....why does he has to scold me always?...

Janvi spoke to herself...

"I'm not a child... Can't he treat me like adults?...He didn't need to say every time,what to do or not to do...Always ordering around like boss..."

Janvi takes out her frustration a little bit....

_________

After the lunch Janvi was too full... Arjun came after sometimes and saw she didn't finished her food yet....He made her clear her food and told her to take rest and left the room...

Janvi was feeling suffocated with her big belly which had tons of food according to her... They are all ready to come out from her stomach...

"I need a walk in the fresh air..."

She stood up from the bed slowly and made her way to the downstairs...She didn't see Arjun in the drawing room...She didn't bother to look for him and came out from the house...

She looked around and found a way....She was curious about to know where the path leads her...She started to walk slowly on the way...It was a beautiful path surrounded by big trees and some wild flowers bushes...They were smelling so good...There were many butterflies...They were flying one flower to another....

Various birds were chirping...She forgot about everything and she kept going...She was totally lost in nature...She came to the end of the way... In front of her there was a large open place...From there she had one of the best landscape views...She forgot to blink her eyes...

She was about to take a few steps forward but she felt someone's presence behind her...She hastily turned around and her legs twisted and she fell straight on the ground...she looked around and found two squirrels jumping on dry leafs...She took breath in relax...She smiled and kept looking at them...

"DID YOU COME ALL THESE WAY JUST TO LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND?...

IS MY BED THAT BAD THAT YOU PREFER TO LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND?..."

Sudden deep loud voice made Janvi startled and she jumped on her place...She looked up and found angry Arjun who was looking at her with his killing eyes....She gulped down her saliva...

"IS MY BED THAT BAD THAT YOU PREFER TO LAY DOWN ON THE GROUND?..."

Arjun asked in a cold voice...Janvi was too shocked to reply....

"I TOLD YOU TO TAKE REST  AND THAT'S HOW YOU ARE TAKING REST?..."

Arjun asked sarcasticly...

"I-i-i..."

Janvi started to speak but had to stop because of Arjun's yelling...

"SHUT UP.... KEEP YOUR LAME EXCUSES TO YOURSELF..."

Arjun was very angry and was looking murderous...He held Janvi's arm and made her stand on her feet...

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU ARE GOING OUT?..."

Arjun asked gritting his teeth...

"I di--didn't fi-find you..."

Janvi replied with difficulties...Tears started to form in her eyes... Arjun didn't behave that much rudely before with her....

"DID YOU TRY TO SEARCH FOR ME..?...

Arjun asked again but Janvi looked down and didn't answer... Arjun grabbed Janvi's chin and made her look at him...She stared at him with teary eyes....

"YOU DIDN'T....IF YOU HAD TRIED THEN YOU WOULD HAVE FIND ME...I WAS IN THE KITCHEN MAKING YOUR DAMN JUICE..."

Arjun's grabed Janvi's arm more tightly...She winched in pain and tears escaped from her eyes and started to slide down on her cheeks...Arjun immediately left her arm and wrapped his hand around her waist...

Arjun made juice for Janvi and went to the bedroom to give her but he didn't find her...He looked for her everywhere in the house but she was not there....Bad thoughts were coming to his mind...

Then he searched the jungle area madly and finally found her all okay...

"I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU LIKE A MAD MAN...BUT, HERE YOU ARE ROAMING AROUND CARELESSLY FORGETTING ABOUT THE WORLD..."

Arjun pulled Janvi towards himself and held her tightly against him...

"I-i-i am s-s-sor-ry..."

A sob escaped from her mouth...

"FROM NOW ON YOU WILL INFORM ME WHEN AND WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WITH WHOM YOU ARE GOING...GOT IT..?"

Arjun pressed his fingers on Janvi's bare waist when she didn't reply to him...

"Y-y-ess..."

Janvi sniffed a little... Arjun took a deep breath to control his anger....He can't bear her crying...

"NEVER EVER DARE TO TRY THIS STAND ANYMORE...NOW STOP CRYING..."

Arjun wiped Janvi's tears with his thumb...

"WHY YOU HAVE TO CRY FOR EVERY SINGLE THING...?

Janvi kept sniffing and rubbing her eyes to clear her vision...Her nose had turned red...She was looking cute...

"NOW COME WITH ME..."

Arjun held Janvi's wrist and take her with him back to the wooden house...

_________

1:30 AM

Arjun was wide awake....He checked all the doors and windows to make sure they were closed....He hide all the knives and scissors and forks as well...

He sat down on the sofa and take out his guns and put in bullets...He kept some bullets into his pockets...He put two guns into his boots and one into the waist belt...And another one was in his hand...

"Arjuuuuuun...."

Suddenly, he heard Janvi screaming his name...He got alert and gripped his gun tightly...He made his way silently towards the bedroom...When he stood infront of the door he heard some muffled sounds....He kicked the door open and scanned the room...

His eyes stopped on her and he pointed his gun towards her and pulled the trigger...

BOOM
