Chapter 5 First Meeting

I didn't know when I slept. Next morning, I woke up on the floor. When I felt the warm shining rays of sun on my body I stood up and went to the washroom. I looked at the mirror. My eyes were puffy and red. The mascara was smudged under my eyes. My hairs were messy.

I washed my face and tried to remove yesterday's nightmare. But they were as true as my heartbeat. 'True and living'.

I was still in bathroom when I heard the door opened. I came outside from the bathroom as Malvika entered into the room. Two women were behind her. They have dresses and jewellery in their hands. They put those things on bed.

Malvika grabbed my hand and took me towards bed. She picked up the dress and admired it. "This dress will look perfect on you and the jewellery will enhance your beautiful feature." I was looking at them coldly. I had no interest in that dress or expensive jewellery.

"Go get ready. I will wait for you here. Today I will make you ready. Go now". She handed me clothes and jewellery.

I took the clothes and went to the bathroom. My heart was sinking as control of my life was slipping from my hands. I changed into that dress and came back to the room. Malvika sat me down in front of mirror and started to do my makeup.

She finished almost after half an hour. I looked at the mirror. The makeup was minimal but highlighting my all features. I had done makeup before but I never had looked this pretty. I looked at her. She was looking at me and smiling.

I was scared about the happenings which were going to happen.

After sometime we were in black suv and many other cars were around our car.

We reached the temple after a short period of time. Before opening the door Malvika held my hand and said," Behave, don't you dare to be smart or try to run. If you will try then your family will pay." She threatened me and I nodded.

Then one of the bodyguards opened the door and we went out of the car. She kept me by her side until we entered the temple. I was feeling my stomach chunk as we entered the temple. I was going to meet Yug prajapati. A complete stranger, whom I never met not even saw but supposed to marry him.

As we entered the temple, I heard the gun shots suddenly. Malvika's men surrounded us. They were loaded with guns. I was shivering with fear. I couldn't see anything in this hustle and bustle so I didn't notice when majority of men scattered and only two men left beside us. Malvika took out her gun and started to shoot. Two men who were guarding me were shot and the fell on the ground. As they fell I saw a bulky muscular figure of a man was coming towards me. He had a scary face with thick beard. His eyes were deep red which was terrifying me.

I tried to call Malvika. But the man grabbed me from my forearm and started to pull me out of the temple. I shouted so loud but my voice was suppressed between the voices of gun fire.

"Let go off me." I jerked my hand tried to free my hand from his grip. He was grabbing me outside the temple.

Suddenly I felt the grip of his hand weaken. Before my mind can register anything I felt the splashes of hot blood on my face. The man's hand was cut and he was crying in pain. I stepped back. Then a muscular body came between me and the man. The man was muscular. He was in casual pant shirt but his shirt couldn't able to hide his muscles. He had a sword in his one hand which was full of blood. He must be used it to cut the man's hand.

A complete stranger was standing before me. He had his back towards me. I was unable to see his face but I was starting to feel safe the moment he stepped in. my heart was beating fast as stranger grabbed the man's neck and pinned him to the wall. He was a few inches taller than the man.

"Rana, the war is between you and me. Leave the girl alone." He said through his jetted teeth and tightened his grip around the man's neck. "if I saw you around her again, it will not only your hand I'll cut". His voice was manly but scared too. He let go his neck and the man coughed desperately for air. The stranger had strong aura. He looked at the clan who attacked us and they were afraid of making an eye contact with him. All were looking at ground. In couple of minutes, the whole clan flew from the temple.

Until then Malvika came to me and stood by my side. She put her hand on my shoulder. Her touched grabbed me out of my thinking and I looked at her.

The stranger turned and moved towards us. He glanced at me. My clothes were full of blood and face was full of fear. But still I was able to register his facial features. He was the work of art with strong muscular body and strong arms. His face had square jaw with light subtle. His eyes were dark brown which was giving the reflection of pure hazel in sun light. He had pierced both ears. His lips were smirked and pink. I was mesmerized by his presence. When I suddenly pulled towards bitter reality.

"Thank you to save my niece. I and my people will always be obliged to you for your kind gesture, Yug."

I looked at her shockingly. The person I was admiring was the actual reason of my kidnapping. I shifted my gaze towards him. He was standing there with cold icy look on his face.

He looked at me and said," I would never allow anyone to harm her. She is not only your niece but my bride too and no one can touch what's mine"

"What the hell is he talking about? Hello.. I am standing here. You people cannot talk like I am not here. I am not any kind of object". I thought. I was about to throw some tantrum when I remembered the threat Malvika gave me before entering the temple. So that, I remained shut.
