Paris, France

I somehow managed to bring courage and get up. Everyone have hurdles in their life, life doesn’t end. Its a part of life.

I stood up, wipe my tears. And started walking. Its a fresh start, no one can stop me.

I booked a cab. And went to my apartment
I didn’t go in our previous house, instead i bought a new one in a tight security building.
Dad used to tell me that we used to live in that mansion. But that mansion is so big, i can’t live there all alone. So i bought an apartment.

I am joining tomorrow. Papa said if i want that position i have to earn it, and prove that i am capable, only then he will give me the title of CEO.

And i gladly accept it. I’ll prove it to him.

The joining day

I am standing infront of our building.
Papa made this with so much effort, i will not gonna disappoint him.

I entered the building and staff was already present there to welcome me.
I greeted everyone, and went inside.

“ Bonjour Madame, je me présente, Richard aubert, votre assistant personnel. Il est un plaisir de faire votre connaissance.”  I look at the man, standing right infront of me

[ Good day, Madame. I am Richard, your personal assistant. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance ]

A man standing infront of me who have dark brown hair, bright blue eyes, small nose,
A tailored navy blue suit that fits him perfectly, polished black leather shoes and a simple but classic wrist watch.
My personal assistant.
Richard Aubert.

“Bonne journée, Monsieur Aubert. Comme vous le savez déjà, je m’appelle Vani, et je me réjouis de travailler avec vous” I said

[ “ Hello Mr. Aubert.as you already know, I am vani, and I’ll be looking forward to work with you”]

*✧*

After working, and knowing my duties, environment, and people, and making a few plans, I decided to head home.

Currently i am waiting for the elevator to come down, i love paris, Paris is giving me calm, but I don’t know why I feel like my surrounding’s air is giving me warring about something. I feel a chill run down my spine.

I looked back, and looked at my sides, to find a trace of someone. But no one
Maybe Its just my hallucinations. ‘but your gut feeling never goes wrong vani’ a corner of my heart speaks.
But i choose to ignore. I don’t have time to focus on negativity.

The elevator came, and i get inside, the door closed,I  pressed 8th floor button, and maybe i hear some one calling my name? No. No. Can’t happen.

I reached my floor, so I  step outside of the elevator, I was just a few steps away from the door of my apartment when i heard a voice, that made me froze on my tracks, sweat formed on my forehead, my heartbeat rising, i was feeling numb, my hand and feet feeling cold, I know this voice.
VANI RUNN!!!

i run to my door and was about to open it when he grip my arm just above my elbow and jerked my towards the side wall. I hit my head .

“ ahhh” i was about to place my hand on my head where i just got a hit, but before that, he gripped my throat, it was too sudden, i didn’t even get the time to open my eyes, his grip was too tight, I am sure if he leave me alive, his grip would last long, i dig my nails in his hand, I tried to get away from his grip, but he hit me with the wall once again.

No. VANI. NO. YOU ARE STRONG. YOU CAN’T LET FEAR OVERCOME YOU.

I opened my eyes, i won’t let him see fear in my eyes.

“ leav..e me” My voice come out cracked, but atleast i tried.

“ leave you? You know i waited for you at the airport, but you ran? Leaving me LOOKING LIKE A FOOL!! HUH!!” he grip my throat morr tightly, my tears started to fell, in everything was started to get blurry.

“ Paras,…. lea..ve. m..ahmm” i was struggling hard, please leave me please, even my words can’t get out. My eyes were getting closed, my grip on his hands getting loose, I was struggling less, suddenly his grip loosen and i fall down lifeless.

He was patting my cheeks, I fall in his arms, and pass out.

I just finished my meeting and was heading out, my prada shades on my eyes, and i was busy on my phone, but I suddenly stopped on my tracks, A little smile formed on my face, and i turned and look at my kareli, she can’t live away from me. I started going towards her, called her name but she already went into the elevator.

I looked at the outside screen of elevator, and number of the floor on it.

8th floor. I entered in the different elevator.

I love teasing her, i just can’t leave without teasing her.

I reached on the same floor, and as i was going ahead, My eyes widened, my senses became active

A man was choking her, and she was struggling, but her struggling slowly loosing, I ran towards them and with an instance movement i hit his jaw with a solid punch, he fall on the other side, but i don’t give a flying f*ck to him. Vani fall on the floor,

“ VANII! VANIII! CAN YOU HEAR ME?”

I Pat her cheeks, but she was already unconscious. I picked her in my arms, Before going i glanced at the wall,
Blood, vani loose blood, i ran downstairs and quickly took her to the nearest hospital.

*✧*

Blood… Him… Lighters.. ropes … He is on top of me .. cigarette marks.. pain.. PAIN..

“ please don’t. Please. Please no. Please please. No. No please don’t do this.. please…..ahhhhhhhhh”

With a jerk i opened my eyes,and sat straight. sweat all over my body, I was heaving, i can feel someone
Calling my name, again and again, No. Please i can’t face him . No

“ vani, vani look at me” someone said. No no.

“ LEAVE ME. LEAVE ME. PLEASE…” I Shout. I placed my both hands on my ears, and closed my eyes

“ VANIII!!! LOOK AT ME…”  He is not paras.. i Focus on his voice. I slowly opened my eyes, let loose my hands, and turned my head to other side. Nav. One of the last person i expected.

My eyes are teary, correction i am actually crying, sweating, when i expected him to question me, he just hugged me. And i hugged him back.
No questions.

I don’t know till when I stayed in that position, and why ? Of all people why he, who i hate the most? And why paras come here? Many questions were lingering in my head, and I don’t know the answer of any. And slowly unconsciousness hit me again.

She had a panic attack. Doctor said she will be alright, just have to take good care of her. But the question is, who was that man? I asked the hotel guards and too my guards to investigate, but i want to know the answers from vani.

I went to buy medicines for her while she was still unconscious, when i came back she was yelling in her unconsciousness, maybe i nightmare.
I quickly went towards her, and call her name, to wake her up.

She was yelling, please please don’t. I’ll kill that son of a–

Vani sit straight with a jerk, she was
Heaving, i called her name many times.

“vani, vani look at me” i caress her head“ vani. Vani i am here, look at me” she didn’t heard, she was too scared.

“ LEAVE ME. LEAVE ME. PLEASE…” she yelled, too scared, her voice came out cracked,

“VANIII!!! LOOK AT ME…” i raised my voice a little, she let loose her hands, she slowly opened her eyes and turned to me. She was still scared, fear linger in her eyes, her chin wobble, and I just hugged her, I don’t know how this happened, but she needs someone. And I’ll be that someone.

She hugged me too. And i can feel her crying, clutching my shirt, i carees her head, we didn’t speak anything. Its like we were having conversation without saying something

i never see this version of her. And i never ever in the future wanted to.

NOTE to myself:- I will make sure that she never gets to experience this version of herself.

Slowly i feel her grip lossing.

“ vani?” i called her name, but she didn’t respond, i broke the hug just to see her face, and again she was unconscious,“ vani..vani.. get up vani..”

I called the nurse and doctor to check on her.

But they said, she is still weak thats why she got unconscious again.
