Vrinda's Pov

There was no one in the room. All the windows in the room were open, allowing rainfall to enter. The wind was so strong that the curtains were blowing, and every ship was in a cool atmosphere with the sound of rain and the smell of soil coming from everywhere.

I looked around for him and yelled out, "Mr.Rajput , where are you?"

My eyes were searching for him everywhere, I wanted to say goodbye to him one last time before I left.

A shudder rushed down my body. When I felt someone standing behind me. Before I could look back, he grabbed my hand from behind and dragged me towards him.

My back hit his chest, and I could feel his cold breath.

As I came closer to him, my heart rate increased to the point that I couldn't breathe. I began inhaling through my lips.

"Relax," he whispered in my ears making my body shiver and calming me down.

"I am leaving from here; I came to take my bag and say goodbye to you," I said falteringly.

I did not get any response from him, nor did he do anything. Everything around was so quiet, but I could feel that his eyes were on me.

"Are you even listening to what I am saying? Leave me!" I shouted, attempting to release myself from his grip.

"Ssshhhhh",

He tightened his grip, pulled my waist to bring it closer to his, and said, "Even your shadow cannot escape from this devil's grip; how can I let you go?" he said, making me gulp. His voice seemed too angry.

"And anyway, in all this rain and storm, I will not allow you to take a single foot outside; stay with me or stay with me; you have no choice."

"You have helped me a lot, Mr. Rajput, but now I don't want to bother you any more." I said.

He took a deep breath and said, "Look, the room on the right is yours; we will continue this fight tomorrow, ok! . Go and sleep right now," he added, quenching his anger.

"but..." and before I could say anything, he cut me off, saying, "I SAID NOT TODAY.".

I tried to free myself from his grip with great force.

"Leave me first!!" I said, and he loosened his grip. I turned to face him and glanced at him.

His eyes were red and exhausted.

I was shocked. Seeing him in such a condition, it seemed as if he was getting angry at something.

"Which state are you in?"

I yelled at him, widening my eyes. There were fresh injury marks on his shirtless body.

Liquor bottles and glass pieces were lying everywhere.

I held his hand and asked in a low voice, "Were you hurting yourself? furrowing my brows.

Tell me!!!

There was no response from him.

"I'm asking something!"

"Were you hurting yourself?" I yelled at him.

My eyes began to well up with tears. How could someone hurt themselves so badly?

"Vrinda, leave me alone and go to your room," he shouted. "

"Nooo, I will not," I yelled, looking sharply into his eyes.

In the very next moment, I felt his hand around my neck as he stepped closer to me in an angry manner, shoved me against the wall, and gazed at me with furious eyes.

"Yes, I have hurt myself because I am not in my senses, and now I don't want to hurt you even by mistake." He exclaimed, gnashing his teeth in rage.

I could feel my breathing stop as he tightened his grip around my neck.

"Stop it right now!!"

I said it in a shaking voice. His eyes conveyed just how mad he was at the moment and how hard he was trying not to become angry while speaking to me.

He tilted my face backward, forcing me to gaze into his eyes. Our lips were just a few inches away.

"It won't take me two minutes to lift you up and take you to another room," he stated.

"And it won't take me a minute to come back from that room to your room." I stammered.

"Godddamnn!!"

He added, staring through my soul.

I tried to take a breath. My neck was hurting, and a lone tear rolled down from my eyes.

I gulped and said, "But why are you hurting yourself so much?"

Suddenly, he loosened his hold, and threw the vase on the ground with all his rage and yelled through his lungs.

"BECAUSE OF THIS RAIN!"

I gulped, seeing his anger.

"This rain!" he pointed outside the window.

"This rain reminds me of that terrible period that has ruined my life."

He quickly lifted the table and banged it down in anger. His level of rage was at its highest.

He was not even thinking before making his next move. His rage was turning everything that fell into his grasp and all this was being continued.

I was just standing quietly and looking at him.

"No, I won't let him hurt himself that much." I raced to him and used all of my might in order to stop him.

"STOP IT, AVYUKT !!"

I yelled, looking into his eyes with the same rage as his.

He stopped himself as soon as he heard me. He was exhausted. The corners of his eyes were wet.

"Look at yourself."

"How drunk you are! You have no control over yourself; your past is controlling you. This is not all your anger, Avyukt; it is all the agony you keep concealed in your heart, and if you hide your suffering too much, it will continue to bother you in this way."

" I will not allow you to hurt yourself at all." I said, pointing my index finger on his naked chest.

I grabbed his hand, took him towards the bed, and made him sit on it. I also sat beside him.

He calmed down his anger, he was simply listening to me.

I cupped his cheeks, made him look at me, and said in a slow and loving voice, "Jindagi bhar apne aap ko yu hi satate rahoge kya? huh?"

("Are you going to keep torturing yourself like this all your life? huh?")

He looked into my eyes; his eyes were damp at the edges. He quickly wrapped me in his arms and said, " To tum firse mujhe esi hi dat laga dena Vrinda."

("So you scold me like that again?")

I closed my eyes, and felt him, maybe we both need each other , I felt the peace in his arms that I never got.

I snuggled my face in his neck.

Then we slowly lay down on the bed, cuddling firmly with each other. My upper body was on the bed, while my legs hung below. He was lying over me, wrapping my body in his arms.

My heart started racing quicker than usual; it was the first time I felt him so close to me. I could sense his heartbeat. His face was pressed against my neck.

He raised his face and looked at me, who was laying beneath him. A strong shiver ran down my spine as our eyes met.

 He was really fatigued.

We were caught in each other's gaze. His eyes slowly shifted from my eyes to my lips, and he cupped my cheek.

I was wandering in his eyes when I felt his thumb near my lips as he gently stroked my lips with his thumb.

We felt the chilly wind on our skin. The room was filled with the scent of earth. His body was warming me in this cold weather.

He was only looking at my lips. I felt strong sensations when I looked at his lips coming closer to mine. Our lips were not even an inch away from each other.

May I?" he asked in a slow husky voice, and looked into my eyes.

I tightened my hand on his back and slowly shook my face in yes.

And within a few seconds, his lips were on mine. As soon as I felt his lips sucking harder, I moaned in his mouth. I was able to feel his weight on top of me as my legs were between his.

He grabbed my scarf, removed it off my neck, and threw it aside. While sucking me hard and hard, moans escaped from my mouth.

"Aahhhhhh"

I moaned as he pulled his lips away from mine after sucking the life out of me and sucked my neck , moving his finger around my waist.

He again cupped my cheek and looked into my eyes, and he was struggling not to close his eyes as he was completely drunk.

"I will never let you go away from me, whether you consider me your protector or a beast." He said it in a half-asleep voice.

He tucked his face against my breast and fell fast asleep in my arms.

"I never imagined that after meeting you for the first time, we would get so close in just two days and become each other's strength." I said, kissing his forehead ,hugging him tightly in my arms and I did not know when I fall asleep.
