Guyss as I asked you all you have not told me what you want about the next story mine I asked should I reveal the cover this week only??or you want after my half this story will complete . ?

Two days passed like this and night befpre the engagement day The house was filled with celebration. The women in the living room were busy making mehendi preparations for engagement their laughter echoing through the halls. But in her room, Arvika sat in complete silence.

She traced the mehendi design on her palm, her fingers stopping at the place where Vardhan’s name would be written tomorrow. Her hands were shaking.

Vaishali (entering quietly, eyes full of concern): “Didi… you didn’t eat anything again.”

Arvika didn’t respond. She just kept staring at her hands, as if trying to erase something invisible.

Vaishali sat beside her, holding her hands firmly.

Vaishali (softly, almost in a whisper): “Tell me just once, Didi. Just once. That you don’t want this. And I swear, I’ll take you away from here. Anywhere you want. Just from this disaster ”**

A lump formed in Arvika’s throat. How easy it sounded. Running away. Escaping.

But reality wasn’t that kind.

She gave Vaishali a faint smile and squeezed her hand.

Arvika (hollowly): “Some cages don’t need locks, Vaishu. The fear is enough.”

A tear slipped from Vaishali’s eyes as she hugged her tightly.

Vaishali (breaking down): “I hate this, Didi. I hate seeing you like this. Why can’t someone stop this?”**

Arvika closed her eyes, resting her head on her sister’s shoulder. The word Someone made her think that no one can now stop this not even her own parents . This has to happen

For a fleeting second, a face crossed her mind . She was thinking about the abhir ! About Kartik the moment she had  with him in trip .

About the person whom she loved from 7 years .

She quickly shook the thought away. That chapter was over before it even began.
________..____________..___________.._________..

Other side cigarette burned between Kartik’s fingers, the smoke curling into the cold air. But he wasn’t smoking.

His eyes were locked on the phone screen the photo of aarvika and him
Inside he also know that Arvika was trapped.

And tomorrow, she’d be engaged to the devil himself.

His jaw tightened as he  dialed a number. It rang twice before a deep voice answered.

Voice on the Phone: “You’re calling at this hour. ”

Kartik exhaled, staring at the ground. His hands were shaking with rage.

Kartik: “I need a way to stop this engagement.”

A short silence. Then, a low chuckle.

Voice on the Phone: “You’re still that desperate boy, aren’t you?”
