CHAPTER 16 - LOCKED

His pov

As i was spending some time with dad peacefully the memories of the past flooded back to my mind. I never wanted those things to happen but unfortunately we humans can't control what god does to our lives. I still remember the day crystal clear.

Many times i wonder i don't remember a single whole day of my childhood but that day is like film that keeps replaying in my mind every time with every fucking detail. I wish i could forget ot just like some other days of my childhood but i can't forget that. What a irony!

Everything was peaceful in our lives, mom and dad loved each other immensely i was their beloved and fav son. But it just took one day to burn everything to ashes.

A day when reyansh was 9 years old

(almost 16 years ago)

Author's pov

It was a sunny day in udaipur. In Rathore palace Damini was feeding a small boy of approx 4-5 years who was sitting in her lap. He was none other than vyom rathore. "Open your mouth vyom" she said keeping a spoonful of food infront of baby vyom's mouth. Then vyom giggled and shook his head indicating a no. Seeing this damini acted to be surprised and showed him some fake anger.

The cute little boy got scared and ate the porridge but scrunched his nose and made a face. He surely didn't like it.

Seeing this damini couldn't control her laughter and ruffled his hair.

"Scrunching your nose won't help baby, i won't melt" she said. To this vyom accepted his defeat and ate the whole thing but still didn't hesitate to make absurd faces. Well he's the most cutest annoying baby of the rathores what can we say?

Anika too entered with reyansh walking beside her and a bowl of food was in her hands. "lagta hai aj humara khilane ka karyakram hi khatam nahi hoga" damini said and laughed to which anika agreed Fully. She and little reyansh too sat there and she fed him a spoonful of porridge. Reyansh scrunched his nose to the taste of it. "Maa ye wala bilkul acha nahi hai" he said (translation: mom this one's not god at all).

"Papa brought a new one baby, this one's more healthy for you please eat it".

"No mamma"

Reyansh said, stood up and rushed from there, "reyansh don't run" anika yelled from behind but it didn't bother him at all. He was giggling and running from there continuously. "Ek baar hath agya na fir batati hu tujhe"( translation : let me catch you once then i'll show you) she yelled. He was so mischievous and naughty in childhood then what happened after that ?

He was running and running, after a while he was out of the sight from anika and reached a secluded corner of the palace. After thinking for a while he decided to hide in a nearby room. He found a room's door open and entered in and hid inside a cupboard. He kept the cupboard's door a little open so that he can keep an eye whether his mom is coming or not.

As he was sitting there waiting for anika to come finding him, the door opened and he hid himself properly to avoid getting caught. But he got confused as some other lady entered in the room instead of his mom. Soon his dad vihaan rathore too entered.

He was wandering what his dad was doing here he thought to come out and meet him, but his words shocked him.

"I'll pay you the money but i need you to sign this contract that after this you won't tell anybody what happened between us". To which the girl noded. Reyansh wasn't able to clearly see the face of the lady as her back was facing the cupboard but he could hear her clearly.

"Sure but now i need double the amount you offered" the lady said. "Tum apne shabdo se mukar rahi ho" (translation: you're turning from your own words) he said.

"Well look who's talking " she said and laughed.

"Fine i'll give you the money then sign the contract and make sure you won't come to udaipur ever"

"Ok here's the bank details, do your work fast"

Vihaan rathore took the ipad from her hand and transferred 2 crores in her bank account "its done" he said and was going to hand over the ipad but bang!

A bullet pierced his abdomen. His eyes grew wider. The ipad fell from his hand but the lady caught it and smirked at him. The bullet came from the window in front of which they were standing. Reyansh's body turned cold all of a sudden and he couldn't move from his place. He wasn't able to digest what just happened. Everything was picture perfect till now than what did happen all of a sudden.

After a few seconds the lady groaned as she realised that vihaan changed the bank details and transferred the money to his another account and they didn't even get a single penny. Reyansh wasn't able to stand more a fell unconscious there only.

Reyansh came out of his thoughts as there was a knock on the door.

He wiped a tear that flowed from his eye involuntarily and stood up. "we'll meet soon dad". He said and came out of the room. And his mom was standing there she patted his back with almost teary eyes and both of them left from there.

Her pov

I was sitting in the room with vidhi, vyom and ayansh and they forced me to play truth and dare with them. And when i denied them they threatened that they will tell reyansh what names i have gave him.

Yeah during a conversation mistakenly my tongue slipped and i addressed him as the annoying hukum as i do always in my thoughts. You're stupid divya you dug your own grave nove bare the consequences huhh. Ayansh spinned the bottle and it turned to vidhi.

Until and unless my turn doesn't come i can enjoy na right. I grew excited and asked her "truth or dare?". Rubbing her hands in excitement vidhi said "ummm dare". Ab ayega na maza (translation: now it'll be fun. "Ok i'll give the dare guyss, vidhi you have to go infront of your brother and say that...... I have a boyfriend and i want to marry him πŸ˜†" i said.

On hearing my words her face turned pale "bhabhi nahi, esa thodi hota hai.... bhai toh jo ladka exist bhi nahi karta uska khoon karne nikal padenge" (translation: no bhabhi please, it can't be like this, brother will go on for hunting down a boy who doesn't even exist). Ayansh and vyom chirped on my idea "very nice bhabhi" they both said and mocked vidhi.

But she's right i shall change it anyways usse pange lena khatarnak hai. (Translation : anyways its dangerous to mess with him). "So let's change it i should have thought beforehand what the hell that annoying hukum would do" i said.

"Nahi bhabhi ab toh ham logo ko man ban gya ab toh yahi karegi ye" (translation: no bhabhi, now our minds are made, now she would have to do this dare only). Vidhi saw her with me with pleading eyes but i couldn't do anything. I shouldn't had suggested this dare but let's see what this kadus Hukum will say to this. If he'll go out of control than i'll save vidhi no matter what.

The door slammed open and the Devil entered. Thoda time toh de deta prepare karne ko 😭 (translation: atleast he should have given some time for preparation). As he set his first step in vyom hid the bottle beneath the bed. They Patted vidhi's back saying that go do it. Vidhi looked at me and i blinked assuring her that of the situation goes out of hand i would intervene.

Vidhi stood up and started to take small small steps towards him. He just kept looking at all of us. Can't he just sometimes have fun. Well i think it would be so nice if he would leave his this stoic personality just for once and be who he really is. I want to once meet Reyansh Rathore and not the hukum sa of udaipur.

Vidhi finally reached to him and seeing her nervousness reyansh caressed her her hair "what happened vidhu?" He asked as if he never speaks in a loud pitch. Means there's somewhere some soft corner in his heart. I'm happy that atleast he's not arrogant and cold towards vidhi. "Bhai wohh...wohh... Ek lad...ladka pasand hai mu..mujhe" (Translation: umm..umm.. there's one bo..boy that i..i...like") she stuttered and said".

Reyansh turned a bit shocked but hid it instantly in a millisecond, i wonder if even anybody noticed it except me. "What's his name?" He said but now his voice turned a bit colder. Vidhi started to itch her head wondering what name to say. " Rohan" her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Full name"

Kitni panchayat hai isko dare ho toh hai (translation: how much does he want to know ya, its just a dare). "Rohan sisodiya" she said. After this for sure she's gonna beat vyom and ayansh.

But you should be beaten no, it was your idea only my inner voice mocked me.

Now what happened happened i can't change it, i have to keep my ideas sane, ahhhh. He was about to leave the room but i called him in a hurry

"Reyansh"

Shitt i shouldn't have called him with his name. He's the king fuck!!

His pov

It felt like for a second......... That all the systems in my body haulted, what did she just call me. It felt like ages since somebody has called me from my name except the elder family members. It came out like honey from her mouth. Why doesn't she always call me that?

"Umm...sorry i meant hukum saa" she said. Hukum sa too sounds good from her mouth but when she called me reyansh it felt like our relationship was real. Be it just for a mere second but i loved every bit of it. It was like a symphony to my ears.

"Bhaii" i came out of my trance on hearing vidhi's voice. Fuck rohan.. i just sort pf forgot it i need to gather all the information about him. Who the hell is he ha?

"Hukum sa i wanted to talk to you about something" divya said. "not right now" i said and was about hold the knob but somebody held my elbow. I turned and it was divya. "I want to talk now" she said.

Before i could say tell her to move in rage ayansh yelled "bhai..bhai..bhai dare tha vidhi ka esa koi ladka nahi hai" . "When will you guys stop such stupid stuff, grow up its high time". As i started all the heads went down except one.

"It was just a game hukum sa no need to make a fuss about it" she said to me. I wanted to say something but before i could start she sent the three of them out of the room. They smiled meekly and left. "Ye log naa" (translation: this people na).

"App toh bade buzzkill nikle hukum sa khud to ese ghumte hai unko toh masti karne dijiye" (translation: you are a very big buzzkill hukum sa, you toh always roam like this atleast let them have some fun).

"Am i a buzzkill ha?" I said and soon she realised that she made a mistake well now if i am buzzkill let me try to play along.

"No who said that"

"Ohh lying i see"

Our eyes were not ready to leave break the eye contact and i started to take predatory steps towards her. She started to take steps back with each step that i took forward.

Her back hit the door of the balcony and she was caged between the door and me. "So now where you'll escape rani sa?". I whispered.

Author's pov

Divya started to search for the knob of the balcony's door from her back. After a few moments ahe found it and opened it. And her body jerked backwards.

Reyansh smirked and shook his head at her actions when she was trying to stand straight. So she didn't see him smirking.

"Nice try but of no use rani sa" reyansh said this and entered in the balcony. Now they were both in the open air.

Again reyansh started to move towards her and divya fell on the swing in the balcony while moving back.

"What are you doing hukum sa?"

"What am i doing you say"

A cold breeze blew through the vicinity and the dhadam!!

The door closed.

"Shit the door will get auto locked" divya yelled a bit and rushed to the door pushing reyansh aside. She tried to pull the knob with all her force, but everything in vain.

She turned back and said "i think we are locked"
