PART 8
Sanchi woke up from her sleep at 8 pm. She realized that she over slept. She got up at once but her head pained a lot due to the injury. She somehow managed to walk to the washroom. She freshened up and washed her face with a face wash. As her hands touch the water, she felt an acute pain. She looked down and the color of her face became dull. She saw all the red marks on her arms which reminded her of the dreadful situation. Fear rooted in her mind once again as she thought that Sid would return and molest her. She began to breathe heavily. She got out of the washroom to get some fresh air. As soon as she opened the door, BOOM came a noise which startled her. She covered her face with her arms and began to shout on the top of her voice.
S: please leave me alone. Go away. Don’t come near me. Just go away….
Sanchi was almost crying when she heard a loud laughter from the other side. She peeped through her hands to see an unknown man standing in front of her. Her room was brightly lit and she could see properly that the man was not Sid. He was neither Veer nor Kabir. She was confused as she thought who the hell he was? The door of her room was wide open and from there she could see Veer enter the room. Before Veer could react Sanchi came forward and hugged him tightly. Veer was confused but on seeing Arjun there he came to know what happened.
V: Sanchi why did you shout and why are you crying. Veer spoke emotionlessly.
Sanchi broke the hug and answered in between her sobs.
S: he… he… scared me. I thought that S….(sid)
Veer understood what Sanchi was willing to say. He shook his head and said in a low and disappointed voice.
V: Sanchi he is Arjun. He is one of our men. He is always joking and not like him(Sid).
Sanchi was relieved. She wiped her tears.
A: hello angle. How are you. Now that you know my name let me tell you something about me. I am a great prankster and I love eating. Like I smell something delicious in your room right now.
Saying this Arjun went to the small teapoy in the middle of the room. He opened the covered plates and began to attack on the food like he was deprived of food for years. Sanchi’s eyes widened with shock. She stood there with her mouth hung open.
V: he is like that only. He is crazy for food. You did not eat anything?
S: I just did not feel like eating. She said in a low whisper.
Mrs.Webber entered the room and was shocked to see Arjun eat like a madman.
W: Arjun, you had your dinner just now!
Sanchi chocked on that. She thought that how could anyone eat when the stomach was already full sometime back?
W: Veer please tell her something. She has not had anything since morning. I cannot give her the tablets until she eats.
Veer looked at Sanchi and held her hand and led her to the entrance of the room. They were stopped in their way by Arjun.
A: where are you going? To the dining table? Come I will accompany you.
Veer just rolled his eyes and started walking. Sanchi was still staring at Arjun.
A: what are you looking at my angle?
S: my name is not angle. I’m Sanchi. She stated sternly.
A: but you look too cute. In this dress of yours, just like an angle. So from today I will call you angle.
Sanchi looked at her attire and realized that she was wearing her wedding dress. She again got back her bitter memories and tears started to flow down her eyes. Veer hit Arjun’s head from behind. Arjun just held his head and made a very big pout face to show his disappointment.
V: always making her cry. You jerk.
A: but what did I do? He said with a unique crying face. It was funny to see a built up man crying like a small kid. This made Sanchi laugh. After a long time she was laughing. Seeing her laughing, Mrs.Webber came forward and cupped her face.
W: always smile like that sweetheart. You look beautiful while smiling.
Sanchi withdrew her face and turned other side not to let her emotions take over her looking at Mrs.Webber. She knew that she would not be able to control her tears and she did not want to cry now. She was fed up of crying and was really hungry.
Veer led Sanchi to a large room adjacent to her room. She saw that there was a big dining table which could accommodate at least 16 people at a time. She was awed by the types of dishes on the service table. It looked as though she was living in a palace. She was just admiring the place when a voice broke her trance.
A: so angle what would you like to have? Today Arjun will serve you from his own hands.
Arjun said all enthusiastic and full of excitement. She was reminded of her friends whom she loved a lot. She thought about Isha and Pragya. What they would be doing? How were they? How was everyone back ‘home’? All these thoughts came into her mind as she gazed at the food kept in front of her. Her vision blurred due to the fresh tears in her eyes which were going to fall anytime. She did not want to cry in front of Veer and Arjun. She turned around to go but Veer held her hand.
V: come eat. He ordered.
Sanchi shook her head and stood like a statue. Veer came towards her and asked in a low sharp tone.
V: are you sure. I have other methods to feed you.
Sanchi looked at him in a confusing manner. Before she could process anything, Veer began to tickle Sanchi. She was laughing like anything and running away from Veer. Just on the other end of the table came Arjun and started to tickle Sanchi.
S: no….. no please……… please…. no……. please.
She said in between her mirth. Saying this she ran towards the exit of the dining hall only to bump with a large wall. She groaned in pain as she rubbed her forehead. She was confused to find a wall instead of the door. She quickly moved her gaze to look at the obstruction in her way. There she saw the same pair of dark brown eyes staring at her with something unclear in them. She had not bumped into any wall but with Kabir. He had tough body! She was thinking all this looking straight into his eyes. Her trance was broken when she heard Arjun speak.
A: angle; don’t think that we will let you go as Kabir bhai is here.
Sanchi turned her form around and her hairs hit Kabir’s chest.
S: no, no please.
Saying this Sanchi began to take her steps back only to hit the human wall again. Arjun came to her running and she moved aside at the nick of time and as a result, Arjun dashed with Kabir. Kabir was strong and stood straight but Arjun came crashing on the ground. Sanchi and Veer burst out in laughter seeing Arjun like this.
V: you are smart Sanchi.
S: I know. I know.
Saying these they again shared another round of laughter. Arjun groaned in pain as he hit the surface hard. Sanchi came forward and stretched her hand to help Arjun. She muttered a sorry under her breath. Arjun took her hand and stood up only to betray her. He started ticking her again along with Veer. All this was observed by Kabir and he was hell angry at the childish behavior of his men.
S: this is cheating yaar. I hate you.
A: but I love you my angle. Saying this he started to tickle her more and the dining hall echoed with her laughters, shouts and pleads.
The words from Arjun were more than enough for Kabir now. How dare Arjun say ‘I love you’ to Sanchi. Kabir had brought Sanchi here and hence he possessed her. Thinking all this Kabir shouted at the top of his voice.
K: what the hell is this? What is going on?
The whole hall came to a drop dead silence. Veer, Sanchi and Arjun stood in a queue in front of Kabir. All this while Kabir was staring at Sanchi. She was not able to hold his intense gaze on her and hence she lowered her eyelids. Veer came forward and asked Sanchi.
V: now you will eat or you want some more of this treatment? Veer smirked saying this. Arjun also joined him.
A: yes. We won’t mind at all. It was fun seeing you hop around like a frog, angle.
Sanchi opened her mouth to speak something but closed it instantly and nodded her head in a yes. She sat in between Veer and Arjun. Kabir sat at the opposite end and stared at her all the while she was eating. She was not comfortable with the stare she had gained. She could not eat properly due to the continuous glance from him. It made her nervous. She kept her dinner short to travel away from that piercing glance. She just completed when she heard some noise from the corridor.

Kabir’s POV:
I heard voices from the dining hall. I glanced at my watch to have a look at the time. It was 8. I have my dinner along with Veer at 10. Then who was making noise in the dining hall at 8? I slid down the stairs and went to the dining hall. As I was standing at the entrance, something soft dashed me. She groaned in pain and looked into my eyes. Her eyes were full of questions for god knows what reason. Then she looked lost somewhere. She turned around to face Arjun as he called her ‘angle’. Her hairs hit my chest and the scent of her shampoo occupied my nostrils. She moved back and again hit my chest with the small back of her’s. She stood there for some time and moved away. My body dashed with Arjun’s. Well I was strong enough and thus Arjun went down on the floor at once.
I saw her laugh. She had a beautiful smile. She joked with Veer and I was content that Veer was taking care of her. She came forward to help Arjun. He got up but started ticking her. This was so childish. Even Veer joined her. I was angry looking at them but her smile was enough to calm me down. I don’t know what was happening to me. I was attracted towards her. I know that it was not at all good for me. I suddenly heard Arjun tell ‘I love you angle’. This enraged me. Sanchi was ‘my possession’. I shouted at them and they all stood at their places. I was looking at Sanchi as her laughters which soothed my mind had died away. She instantly looked down as though avoiding my gaze. Veer and Arjun asked her something to which she was about to reply but did not. She nodded and they sat down at once to serve Sanchi.
She was eating and I was sitting opposite to her. Her lips moved as she chewed and I was just staring at her. Arjun was busy serving Sanchi and Veer looked at me with a smirk on his face. I knew he was aware about everything. He was the only one able to read my mind. I still kept staring at her. My trance was broken when we heard some noise from the corridor.
