The next morning….

Aarya’s eyes slowly opened. When she saw a familiar face close to her, she was startled and sat up.

Seeing Aarya awake, Raghuvir ji was happy. He quickly went to Aarya and stroked her hair, saying, “Aarya, are you okay? Should I call the doctor?”

(“Aarya, kya tum theek ho? Kya main doctor ko bulau?”)

After saying this, he ordered the guard standing by the door, “Go and call the doctor.”

(“Jao jakar doctor ko bulao.”)

Aarya came to her senses and quickly held Raghuvir ji’s hand, saying, “Daddy, it’s not necessary. I am completely fine. There’s no need to call a doctor.”

(“Dad, iski zaroorat nahi hai. Main bilkul theek hoon. Doctor bulane ki zaroorat nahi hai.”)

Raghuvir ji held her hand and said in a concerned voice, “How is it not necessary? Once you have a checkup and I know you are completely fine, I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.”

( "Aise kaise zaroori nahi hai? Ek baar tumhara checkup ho jaye aur mujhe yeh pata chal jaye tum bilkul theek ho to main rahat ki saans le paaunga.”)

Aarya said nothing. She looked a little troubled. She remembered everything that had happened last night. Aarya pressed her lips together.

Then, tightening her grip on Raghuvir ji's hand, she asked, “Dad, where did you find me, and was anyone with me?”

("Dad, aapko main kahan mili thi, aur kya koi mere saath tha?”)

Saying this, she looked at Raghuvir ji with panic.

Seeing Aarya so panicked, Raghuvir ji affectionately stroked her hair and said, “We found you on a deserted road. There were injury marks on your hands and feet, and you were unconscious.”

("Humne tumhe ek sooni sadak par paya tha. Tumhare haath aur pairon par chot ke nishan the, aur tum behosh thi.”)

Aarya said nothing after hearing this. Raghuvir ji, getting worried, asked, "What happened?"

(“Kya hua?”)

Before Aarya could say anything, the doctor arrived.

Raghuvir ji looked at the doctor and ordered, “Quickly, check on Aarya.”

("Jaldi se Aarya ka checkup karo.”)

The doctor examined Aarya. Afterwards, he looked at Raghuvir ji and said, “Aarya is completely fine.”

(“Arya puri tarah se theek hai”)

Raghuvir ji kissed Aarya on the forehead and said, “You rest. I’ll handle everything else.”

("Tum aaram karo. Baaki sab main sambhal lunga.”)

With that, he left the room.

Aarya quickly closed the door and looked out the window, but she couldn't see anyone.

Aarya said to herself, "Who is that man who is after me? Why did he save me? What is his motive? Why is he after me?"

(“Yeh aadmi kaun hai jo mere peeche pada hai? Usne mujhe bachaya kyun? Uska maksad kya hai? Woh mere peeche kyun hai?”)

Saying this, Aarya, scared, closed the window. She couldn't understand anything.

She lay on her stomach on the bed and thought about last night. Aarya’s mind was tired, so she fell asleep.

Suddenly, black smoke started rising in the room. The light also went out. A man appeared through the black smoke. He stroked Aarya’s hair and said in a murderous voice, “Remember, you are mine.”

(“Yaad rakhna, tum meri ho.”)

The man lay down next to Aarya and stared at her.

Downstairs, Raghuvir ji was very angry. He looked at the guards and asked, “Did you really find nothing?”

The guard lowered his head and said, “Boss, there are no CCTV cameras nearby. That’s why we couldn’t find anything. We can't figure out how Aarya baby got there.”

(“Boss, aas-paas koi bhi CCTV camera nahi hai. Isiliye humein kuch nahi mila. Hum pata nahi kar paa rahe hain ki Aarya baby wahan kaise pahunchi.")

Raghuvir ji was sitting calmly on the sofa, smoking a cigarette. After thinking for a while, he said in a cold tone, "Keep an eye on all our enemies. Increase Aarya’s security, but she should not know about it. The people who are keeping an eye on her should stay at least 10 meters away so she doesn't feel uncomfortable.”

(“Hamare sabhi dushmano par nazar rakho. Aarya ki security badha do, lekin use iske baare mein pata nahi chalna chahiye. Jo log us par nazar rakh rahe hain, unhe kam se kam 10 meters ki doori par rehna chahiye, taki use ajeeb na lage.”)

After that, Raghuvir ji sent everyone away.

At 1 PM

Aarya got ready and went downstairs. Downstairs, Raghuvir ji was talking to his assistant.

Seeing Aarya, he looked at his assistant and said, "Shreshth, go and get the car ready."

(“Shreshth, jao aur car ko ready karo.”)

Shreshth was a 28-year-old man who was quite handsome.

He said respectfully, “Yes, Boss.” Shreshth left from there.

Aarya controlled her nervousness and fear. Then, she went to Raghuvir ji and said with a smile, “Dad.”

Raghuvir ji held her hand and said, “Let’s go. I have already taken a few days off from the principal. There is no need to go to college until you are fine. You come with me to the company.”

(“Chalo. Maine pehle hi principal se kuch din ki chutti le li hai. Jab tak tum theek nahi ho jaati college jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Tum mere saath company chalo.”)

Aarya did not reply.

A little later, Raghuvir ji and Aarya left for his company. Then Aarya's eyes fell on a shopping mall.

She said excitedly, "Dad, I want to go to the mall."

(“Dad, mujhe mall jaana hai.”)

Raghuvir ji did not think much and sent Aarya to the mall with some of his guards. As he sat back in his car, Raghuvir ji looked at Shreshth emotionlessly and said, "Send a few more people to keep an eye on Aarya. As soon as she finishes shopping, tell them to bring her to the company."

("Kuch aur logon ko Aarya par nazar rakhne ke liye bhejo. Jaise hi woh shopping karna khatam karti hai, use company laane ko kaha.")

Saying this, he closed his eyes. Shreshth nodded his head and started the car.

Aarya happily walked inside the mall. She rubbed her hands together and said to herself, "It’s been so long since I've been this happy!"

(“Kitne waqt baad main itni zyada khush hoon!”)

Suddenly, she remembered something and said angrily, "I have to tell Dad to get that professor fired. I don’t know what he thinks he is? He scolded me, Aarya Oberoi! Does he even know who I am? He humiliated me in front of the entire class.”

("Mujhe Dad se kehkar us professor ko nikalwana hoga. Pata nahi woh khud ko kya samajhte hain? Unhone mujhe yaani Aarya Oberoi ko daanta! Kya unhe pata bhi hai main kaun hoon? Unhone poore class ke saamne hi meri beizzati ki.”)

Saying this, she stomped her feet and went inside.

Aarya found a red dress very beautiful. Aarya held the dress and said with a smile, "This dress will look very good on me."

(“Ye dress mere upar bahut achhi lagega”)

Saying this, she started looking for a changing room.

She saw a salesgirl and asked, "Excuse me, where is the changing room?"

(“Excuse me, changing room kahan hai?”)

The salesgirl said very respectfully, “Madam, it’s that way, but right now…”

(“Madam, woh us taraf hai, lekin abhi usmein…”)

Without listening to her, Aarya went inside the changing room.

It seemed that someone was already inside the changing room and that man was about to close the door, but Aarya entered and closed the door first.

As Aarya took off her dress and turned, she screamed loudly, "Aah!"

The dress slipped from Aarya's hands and fell to the ground. In front of her stood Vardaan, whose face was emotionless.

Vardaan was wearing a black shirt and black pants. Four buttons of his shirt were open, which clearly showed that he was about to take off his shirt.

Vardaan's eyes turned cold. He looked at Aarya emotionlessly and said, “What are you doing?”

( "Tum kya kar rahi ho?”)

Aarya came to her senses and shouted, “Aren’t you ashamed to enter a girl's changing room? Get out of here right now! Don't you know who I am!”

( "Sharam nahi aati hai ek ladki ke changing room mein aate hue? Abhi ke abhi yahan se nikliye! Aapko pata nahi hai main kaun hoon!”)

Vardaan's eyes turned red with anger.

He punched the wall next to Aarya and gritted his teeth, saying, “Get out right now! Get out!”

(“Abhi ke abhi bahar niklo! Get out!”)

Aarya replied with the same anger, “This is not a college where you are a professor and I am a student and I have to listen to you, nor is this your classroom. This is a mall and this is a mall's changing room. So you get out of here. I am not going. If you don't leave, I will have to call security."

( "Yeh college nahi hai jahan aap ek professor hain aur main ek student aur mujhe aapki baat sunni padegi aur na hi yeh aapka classroom hai. Yeh mall hai aur yeh mall ka changing room hai. Isiliye aap yahan se nikliye. Main nahi jaungi. Agar aap nahi nikle to mujhe security ko bulana padega.”)

Vardaan’s anger reached its peak. He held Aarya’s wrist tightly and twisted it, saying, “Don't make me angry.”

("Mujhe gussa mat dilao.”)

Aarya felt a sharp pain in her wrist. Tears came to her eyes, but she was not ready to give up.

Aarya stopped her tears and said, “I am not going. If anyone is going out, it's you.”

("Main nahi jaungi. Agar koi bahar jayega to woh aap hain.”)

Vardaan was holding Aarya's wrist tightly. Aarya and Vardaan were very close to each other. Vardaan's hot breath was falling on Aarya’s cheeks.

Aarya was scared by this closeness. Aarya stammered, “What… what are you doing?”

( "Aap... aap kya kar rahe hain?”)

Vardaan said emotionlessly, "What am I doing?"

("Main kya kar raha hoon?”)

Aarya said, "Stay... stay away. Why are you coming so close?"

("Door... door rahiye. Aap itne kareeb kyun aa rahe hain?")

Vardaan looked at Aarya’s face with a devilish smile.

Suddenly, he held Aarya’s waist and pulled her close to him, and whispered into her ear with a dangerous smile, “Why should I stay away? Haven’t you come to me yourself?”

("Main kyun door rahun? Kya t

um khud chalkar mere paas nahi aayi ho?")

Aarya's body froze. She couldn't even dare to move.
