Afternoon ;

Khushi: (opening the door, looking upset) Austin, what are you doing here?

Austin: (holding out a small box) Hey, Khushi! I brought you a little something to brighten your day.

Khushi: (skeptical) What is it?

Austin: (opening the box to reveal a tiny baby cat) Meet Whiskers! I thought you could use some company and a cuddle buddy.

Khushi: (initially hesitant, then her face lights up) Oh my goodness, it's so adorable!

Austin: (smiling) I'm glad you like it! I thought maybe Whiskers could help take your mind off things.

(Whiskas)

Khushi: (taking the cat and cradling it in her arms) Thank you, Austin(hugs him with joy). This is just what I needed.

(Ryan, watching from a distance, sees Khushi's eyes sparkled as she holds the cat and can't help but smile)

She starts crying remembering her cat 😫😭😭😭😭 ....

Logenze

Ryan : what happened why are you crying ?

Austin: khushi ??

Khushi : I want to go back to my home ( pleading to Ryan) . Ryan please

Ryan gave her a fierce look and left for some work with Steve .

That day khushi enjoyed her whole time with whiskas (cat ) and talking to Austin.

Ryan's POV ( Night)

"I can't focus on my work! What's going on with me?! I've been feeling so restless and distracted lately. Every time I see Khushi, I want her to surrender to me, to give in to my demands... but at the same time, I can't bear the thought of causing her any pain. And today, when I saw her smiling while holding that silly cat, my heart skipped a beat! What is happening to me?! Am I falling in love?! No way! I refuse to believe it. But why can't I shake off this feeling?!

Should I take her to India?! Ugh, what if she denies coming with me again?! What will I tell her parents?! 'Hey, I fell in love with the person I kidnapped and married her'?!! No, no, no! This ain't be happening!

Thinking about it, I feel like I'm losing my mind! Is Khushi some kind of drug?! Why can't I get her out of my head?!

In frustration, I punched the glass table, hurting my hand and causing it to bleed. Ugh, why did I do that?! Ugh, I need to get out of here before I do something else stupid..."

Khushi's POV:

"I was lounging against the headboard, playing with Whiskers, when I saw Ryan storm into our room. He looked furious, and his hand was bleeding profusely!

I was shocked and concerned. What happened to him?!

As he rummaged through the drawer, I approached him calmly and asked, "Ryan, what happened? How did you hurt your hand?" But he just grunted, avoiding eye contact.

I took his bleeding hand in mine, and our eyes met. I gasped as I saw glass pieces embedded in his skin, causing the bleeding.

"Ryan, what did you do?!" I exclaimed, trying to hide my concern. He still didn't answer, just looked away, his expression a mix of pain and frustration.

I gently began to remove the glass pieces from his hand, trying to be gentle despite his rough exterior. As I touched his skin, I felt a strange spark, like a jolt of electricity. Our eyes met again, and for a moment, we just stared at each other.

What is going on with us?! Why do I feel this way?! I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on helping Ryan, but the tension between us was palpable..."

Khushi: "Ryan, I need your help. I want to clean and bandage your hand properly."

Ryan: "Fine, but make it quick."

Khushi: "This might sting a bit." (applies medicine)

Ryan: "Ow!"

Khushi: "Almost done." (bandages his hand)

Ryan: "Khushi, do you love me?"

Khushi: "Ryan! I'm a person who can't even see my enemy in pain, that's why I helped you. Don't ever think that I will fall in love with my kidnapper!!"

Ryan: ( meanwhile him in his mind : that's why I made you mine ! My woman )"Khushi, I am your husband, not your kidnapper."

Khushi: "What?! No, Ryan! Don't say that!"

Ryan: "Okay, fine. Leave it. I'm taking you back to India to meet your family!"

Khushi: "What?! Ryan! You can't be serious! But...

Ryan: "Watch me, Khushi. I'm your husband, and I'll do what's best for you, even if it means taking you back to India."

Khushi: "Ryan, please! You can't do this!How will I tell my mom dad that I am married to you ! You are not coming with me I won't let you!"

Ryan: (heading towards the balcony)"Khushi, don't fight me on this. I've made up my mind. We're going back to India, together."

"Joy and anxiety wrestled within me as I contemplated returning to India. I longed to see my family and friends, but the thought of explaining my situation made my stomach churn. How could I tell them about Ryan and the kidnapping? The forced marriage? I wasn't even interested in marriage, and everyone knew that! What would they think of me? Would they be ashamed? Disappointed?

I imagined their questions: "Khushi, what happened to you ? Where have you been ? Why did you marry him? Did you love him?" What could I say? "I was kidnapped, and he forced me into marriage?" No, I couldn't utter those words. It sounded ridiculous, even to me.

I felt trapped, stuck between my desire to see my family and the fear of facing their questions and judgment. Ryan's words echoed in my mind: "I'm your husband, and I'll do what's best for you." Best for me? How could he possibly know what was best for me? I needed a plan, a way to explain everything without revealing the truth. But what could I say? I fell asleep.....

As Khushi woke up, she was surprised to see Ryan had already prepared everything for their trip to India.

She felt a mix of emotions: excitement to see her family, but also anxiety about facing them after so long. As they boarded the flight, Khushi's palpitations increased. What would her family think of her? Would they be angry or hurt?

Finally, the plane landed, and Khushi's heart raced as she made her way to her family's home. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the reunion. As she opened the main gate , her family rushed to embrace her, tears streaming down their faces.

Khushi's eyes welled up as she hugged her parents and siblings tightly, tears of joy and relief streaming down her face. Her cat, Logenze, rubbed against her leg, purring contentedly😫😫😺

I am sorry as I made it long so the secrets will be considered for the next parts ...how will she mage her parents? Stay tuned..... What will happen when they will know about the kidnap ????
