Rakshu pov

I got up at morning and did my morning routine and went to the car which will be dropping me today for college.

I asked the maid about abhi. They said he had some work so he went early

I sighed and sat in my car. I know now everyone in college must be thinking I'm a VIP or some billionaire daughter.

I sat in my car.

" Hi " Advik wished. His voice held a cheerful tone

I smiled. I think he sensed I'm mood off

" Hmm i read the Caliginous " He said making me shock.

" How did you read so much in a less time " I asked

" It's I started reading and wanted to stop and read rest tomorrow but curiosity made me read " He said

" Even I too. If I start reading a new book. My mind will be with that book until I finish. I mean mentally I will be in that world "

We both giggled

" You know Nick gave me some more books. I'm waiting to read those books " I said

" Don't worry after I will finish. I will give you too to read the book " He smiled

While chit chatting we reached the college.

The class went as usual me and Nick had lunch together in cafeteria. Even I heard some rumors. That stated

"I'm seducer all the boys fall for me. "

" Even I'm seduced that professor vijay and famous heartthrob Nick "

" I give money to the teachers to give me extra marks "

" I have money and using it to attract boys by giving money or giving them a good blow job "

I didn't mind any of this but if abhi hears this they will die for sure.

My college ended and I came out.

I even asked Nick that he didn't mind how I created a scene at his house. He said he didn't mind.

We both together came where my car will pick up but seeing a Mercedes. We both got confused.

A man was leaning on the car and talking. When he noticed me he cut the call and came towards me.

" Hmm hi. I hope you remember me. " He said

" Sorry I feel I saw you somewhere but I don't remember " I said

" No problem that day vikram introduced you so many people so you won't be remembering me . Fine my name is Sidaq nirwan rajput " He said

Now I remembered him. I smiled

" Oh now I remembered. Sorry once again " I said

" So now I will be going " Nick said.

" Okay byee " I said. Nick went

" So vikram told me to leave you at his mansion and your two days gift is waiting " He said. He opened the car door. I sat at front. He came and started the car.

" Hmm so what do you work as. " I asked I was getting bored..

" I have my own multinational companies " .

" Than why did you came to pick up me. Like you could have send a car to pick me up right " He chuckled hearing me

He was handsome like hell . If any girl saw me with him. They will kill me. He had sharp jaw line, perfect facial features , gym body, tall, broad chest,hhis tshirt hugging him perfectly etc

" So you and vikram are partner " I asked. He frowned

" Can I ask you something " I nodded

" What is the relationship between you both "

It's not like vikram had restricted to tell and I thought to tell

" Hmm girlfriend and boyfriend " He looked shocked

" You are not joking right "

" No why would I "my voice had little bit of an get

" What do you know about him " He asked.

"He is a king of Rajasthan and has many multinational companies" I said as much as I know. He let out a sigh after what I told him

"Looks like you don't know even 10℅" He said

"Than tell me. I will gain the knowledge from you about him" I said

"He is known as a beast . And he is not like you think. He doesn't show any emotions not even hardly. His cruelty is famous than his name . His torture is more than hell. People can't even look at his shadow. That day when you came with vikram as a date, he ordered people to act normally . Some mentioned by his name and had a glance of his eyes or better you can say a fraction of second eye contact and they got to see his soft side. Those people are still being tortured till today. It's not good but I will say. He has more power and he is more powerful than you think. He owns each and every government including india. I hope you are getting it. And more to that I will tell you that he doesn't have any patience and gets angry very easily. Even his family members get scared. That day when you went to his house. He ordered his parents to act normal and even to his sister when you are around "

I let out a sigh nodding. I understand now why abhi said to break. But what if he play dirty tricks. Why would he play. When he is capable of announcing my marriage with him without any care.

Seeing my tensed face Sidaq stopped the car at a ice cream shop. I frowned.

He came out after couple of minutes holding a bucket ice cream of butterscotch. I smiled widely. He passed me and started driving. I was eating ice cream while enjoying. He took me too a forest.

Soon the car stopped in front of a beautiful hut house. A simple one which is made of wood.

He opened the my side door and I came out. He handed some documents that said This house belongs to me

"You gave me "

"Nah did you forgot your daily gifts " I laughed remembering.

We went inside it was simple with a big hall, open kitchen , a study room, small library with what type of book I read, a bedroom with attached bathroom. Their was a balcony attached to hall. I went out and saw. The view was memorizing it had a small lake with pure water.

"Can we go home. Their is another 2gifts waiting for you " He said coming where I was

I nodded we settled in his car

"Can I ask you something " He asked

"Yes"

"Do you like reading dark romance. As I saw all the books belongs to that category "

"Hmm yes "

"Oh can you suggest me like I too have read some books and twisted series "

"Haunting Adeline and the Caliginous " As I said him . I thought he will not read as he handles multinational companies like why would he read though.

Soon we reached the mansion . He took me to my floor and opened a room

The room was filled with traditional dresses and matching jewels and sandals.

I entered and started staring at each and every item. The jewels were made out of pure diamonds, ruby, sapphires , gold and silver etc.

I didn't meant to get him so costly gift. I turned he was standing at the door.

"Can I call from your phone " I asked with hesitation .

He nodded and passed me his phone. I took and dialed Vikram number . He received after 5 to 6 rings

" Say Mr rajput " Vikram said. I sighed

"You didn't need to send me so costly jewels and so many dresses " I hang up the call telling him this much. Now I'm getting scared after listening about him by sidaq.

I handed his phone back

"Good have so much courage. If you feel comfortable can I ask you something " I nodded

" Why you didn't call him from your phone " He asked

" Because of some arguments " I said

"Ok now I'm get going " He said and left

She was looking so happy when we went to that forest house

Oh god she loves to read books and she suggested some books for me . If Vikram will get to know he will burn with jealousy. And I saw how she liked simple gifts . It would be fun to gift her from next time.

Rakshu pov

I went to my room and fell on the bed . Than got up and went to freshen up . After freshening up I took my laptop.

And started to read the caliginous, so many chapters I have to read. I don't know how time passed while reading

Soon it was 9 and I went to the kitchen and made noodles and ate.

I came to my room and saw my phone was ringing . It was abhi. I picked it.

"Hello rakshu. Tomorrow I will pick you from college " He said

"Ok what's the reason "

" Tomorrow is Friday and Saturday and Sunday are day off. So we will join navanee, hira and pihu . You will be staying at Vikram house "

"Yes and yeah I will start packing "

We hang up . It's not like we are going for 1 week but still. I called navanee and asked if she needed something.

I woke up and freshen up.I wore a white suit and as usual I sat in the car.

Advik dropped me and we both had a good conversation.

I reached the college and saw Nick was waiting for me at locker. We both settled my things and took whatever was necessary. Today's classes were boring so I layed down on bench and don't when I drifted to my dreamland

Nick woke me up in lunch time. We both went  to cantine

"So what we will eat today " I asked sitting on the bench

" Today I have brought home made food " Nick said placing lunch boxes on the table.

"Guess who made it"

" Any of the maid "

" No yar I made it. How can you say " He said while pouting.

" Than I won't eat. What if something happen to me " .

He sat beside and made me sit on his lap within a blink.

" Don't say anything from now onwards and if you did be ready to face the consequences " My tears made it's way. His grip got tighter on my waist at each word.

Seeing the tears he left me.

"Wait I will bring the food " He said

"I just joked and you took it seriously now leave it . We will have the food which you prepared " I said. He opened the lunch boxes and we had our lunch

After that we had our lunch . And soon our classes where over.

"Nick you can go. Abhi will come to pick me up. So don't worry " I said. I didn't want abhi to see him and create a scene

" No we will wait for him " But here Nick was also stubborn. I saw abhi's car and prayed not to have a drama.

As soon his car stopped. I bid goodbye and sat inside. I saw his red eyes and strong grip on the car handle.

"Please let's not have a scene abhi. Let's go " He let out a breath and started the car.

" Today Vikram is coming back " He said

"Oh " I said

"And from monday I will come to college. No need to talk with that Nick. When I will be back. And tell him you both are no more friends " He said

He stopped the car and said " Take and come coffee for me. Which there across the road " I know why he wanted coffee and didn't want to ask him. It's because of Nick and Vikram. He handed me his card.

I went and ordered . They gave me my order and I was coming back. When I felt a huge force hitting me and I landed on land. My eyes became heavy and felt like darkness consuming me . I felt people rushing towards me . I heard a familiar voice before I  loose consciousness.

Vikram pov

We were going back to mansion. That's when I saw rakshu she was coming out of Starbucks. She was holding 2 coffee cups.

I told my drivers to stop and came out  . A truck was coming towards her. He was horning continuously. So that she would stop or cross  the road fastly. She was in her world that she was crossing slowly. The truck came and hit her  .

"PARI " I screamed. I ran towards her. All the people started gathering. Abhi also came

I was taping her cheeks. The blood was coming out continuously from her head

" Pari pari open your eyes. "She didn't respond. I quickly carried her to abhi car.

Abhi started the  car. " Rakshu open your eyes. See your bhai. Please princess. " Abhi said while driving.

She was lying in my lap. She was sleeping not opening her eyes. No she is only sleeping Vikram. You can wake her up right. Vikram wake her.

"Pari pari see me. I came back " I said while taping her cheeks. She was not responding. A unknown fear started developing inside. My stomach twisted a  thought of what will happen if she never opened her eyes. No this can't happen.

Abhi was blabbering. He even broke the traffic rules and driving very harshly. If rakshu was woke. She would have scolded him for doing this.

"Rakshu rakshu pari please please come to consciousness open your eyes .see how your brother is breaking rules which you don't like." My voice came like a whisper.

We soon reached the hospital. The doctors were already informed. The doctors rushed towards ua with a stretcher. I made her lay and they took her to operation theatre.

Abhi fell on his knees infront of operation theatre. I sat on the chair. With  the only hope that shiv jii will save my pari.

I got up and held abhi collar. He glared at me.

" How can you send rakshu to buy a coffee. If you wanted a  one. You should have gone " I screamed at him. The tears which was holding made it's way

" I know i should have gone instead of sending her. I really didn't know this will happen . If I knew I would have never sent her not even in the last place " He said. I left his collar. We both sat in front praying to God. Doctor  came out after 3 hours of operation.

" How is rakshu doctor " We both asked at same time.

" She is fine. She will gain consciousness after 1 hours . She went unconscious because of heavy blood loss. We have provided the blood from the blood bank and she will be shift to ICU " Saying this doctor went

" I should inform rakshu parents . " Abhi said

" No they will get worried. I hope you Are understanding once here the situation become better we will inform  her parents " I said abhi nodded.

Abhi was sitting on the sofa opposite . I was sitting beside her holding her hands. She moved her fingers lightly.

"Pari " I softly called her. She opened her eyes and saw me.

"My he.. Head is pai.. Paining " She said it in a whisper. Abhi called doctor.

Doctor checked her and said it's because of medicines. She will be  fine within a hour and we should give her rest and leave her alone for sometimes.

Which I didn't want to. Now I was feeling like if I leave her for 1second than she will leave me forever. But abhi forced me telling that she will not like. And I had  to forcefully leave her .

Rakshu pov

I woke up. My head hurting so much that I wanted to hit my head with something. Which will lessen my headache. I heard a  familiar voice and opened my eyes.

"My he... Head is pai... Paining " My voice came like a whisper. Vikram nodded and abhi brought doctor. Doctor told me to take rest and it will be fine. Both of them left. I closed my eyes and slept. After sometimes I woke up and felt little bit better.

That's when I saw a nurse ( a boy ) came towards me holding a medium size box with gift wrapped..

He made me sit and gave the gift and left.

On top it was written last day last gift . I opened it and undid the box. There was photos . The photos of different people but still can be identified. The people in this photos where the people who had crush or love on me when I was in college and school both. The each people were tortured differently but still can be identified. Some people skin were removed while some people's organs where removed. Some where tortured by removing their legs and hands but in all of them a common thing which was removed was HEART. I found a letter which said remove the curtain of window and start reading each question loudly and answer me BUTTERFLY. My tears made it's way. I can't offend him, I can't repeat the mistake which I did in past  . It keep myself consciousness. I removed the drips which was on my hand  .. The blood started coming out.

I removed the curtain and HE was standing there like always staring deep inside my soul . His eyes only visible and nothing else. I ran and picked the pictures . Because of continuous shaking of my hand. The photos fell on the floor. I bend on my knees and picked first picture and turned it.

"I know all your secrets, don't I? "

"YES " I screamed. I was shaking very badly yet he kept staring

"Who is in control? "

"ME "

"No I won't stop . I feel so good knowing it bothers you. Do you want me to stop "

"NO "

"Didn't I do what you wanted? Isn't this what you wanted ? "

"YES"

"How long will you be carrying the ghost of past "

"Don't know " It came like a whisper

  "You cannot save someone is already dead? Can you "

" No "

"Do you want happy ending? But sorry butterfly we are not in Disney "

" No I don't want a happy ending "

"I will lie everything and who will believe me? "

"M.. Me "

"Is my soul to dark for you butterfly? "

" NO"

" You broke the promise? Don't you "

" NO I DIDN'T "

"You want to play dirty. So we are playing  dirty. Didn't you wanted "

"Ye.. Yes "

"Are you ready to be burnt butterfly "

"Ye.. Yes"

"Am I a villian in your story "

" No "

"You save everyone. Who will save you "

" No one "

"Are monsters born or created  ? "

" Created"

"Who fuck do you think. You belong to? "

"You "

" You should have read the rules. Before you break them "

" Sorry "

"For you it's all a game, right? "

" No please it's my life "

"You and I both know this ends in blood"

" Y.. Yes "

"The world's not safe anymore. Is it "

" No "

I don't want to answer anymore. I tried to stand up holding the glass table. Which was kept in front of sofa. My legs were numb. My breaths got heavier at each second. Yet he was staring deep to my soul. The table got  pushed little because of my force and jug fell on the ground. Water was spilling out of it. I pushed myself to close the curtains of window. Because of water I slipped and fell on my back. The glass table broke because I fell on it. The glass piece pierced inside my skin.

Yet I didn't feel pain. The scare which I was feeling it was nothing in front of it. My whole body started shaking. My breaths got heavier. Remember the therapy. Try to distract. Start it. Start it

"100 , 99 ,98,  97, 96, 95, 94 ,93 ,92,91, 90, 89, 88,87,86,85, 84 ,83, 82  ,81  ,80 ,79, 78,77 ,76, 75," My eyelids started to close. I wiggle my body to catch the oxygen I needed. That's when I saw HIM coming towards me holding a injection. He injected me.

"DON'T STOP THE COUNT BUTTERFLY. DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU STOP " My tears were leaving my eyes non stop.

I tried to distract myself continuing my counts. But at one point I couldn't do it anymore.

Author pov.

Vikram watched the time it was already 1 hour passed 30 minutes was over. Abhi who was telling this matter to his parents. Vikram went towards him and said I will once check on rakshu if she needed something.

Vikram entered the ICU it was not like a ICU it was a VVIP suit. Which had every supplements of ICU.

Vikram got shocked seeing rakshu conditions. The table glass was broke and rakshu was laying unconscious on the glass piece.His heart broke into million pieces .Vikram immediately called doctor by shouting. Hearing this abhi to rushed.

" What happened Vikram " Abhi asked

" See when I came inside rakshu was lying on glass piece  unconscious and this  photos. " Vikram said. Doctor rushed inside and said them to leave. But Vikram was stubborn.

" I won't leave her alone. Last time you said and we left her alone. See what happened " Vikram roared

" Doctor don't give her any infections or medicines. Please dress her wound " Abhi said

Abhi forcefully took Vikram outside.

" Why did you bring me out and why did you stop them giving her treatment " Vikram angrily said holding abhi collar

" Calm. Let them do the first aid . She had panic attack and it's not good to give any medicines without the doctor suggestion " Saying this abhi took out his phone to call.

"You mean who are inside the room  treating her , they are not doctors " Vikram asked

" I didn't say like that. She needs a her psychiatrist. Who used to handle her this type of situation " Saying this abhi dialed the number.

After the call was picked up. Abhi informed her about rakshu condition and she said to give the basic treatment. Till that she will reach the hospital. Abhi told the doctor about medicines and passed them the same message which was sent by the doctor.

Vikram was silently standing  hoping that the situation will get better. Soon

Dr sandhya reached the hospital. She got late because she had too travel from Canada to USA

All the three of them together went inside. The doctors and staffs who where inside the room seeing the Beast started shivering. Abhi saw this and dismissed them. All of them bowed their head in respect and ran out of the room to rescue their life.

" Abhi we can't start the treatment until we know how much she counted " Dr sandhya said. Vikram was sitting on the stool beside rakshu bed holding her palms in this hands.

"I too don't know. Like in other situations we got to know the number by CCTV footage or voice recorder which she had. But we already the check footage. The footage was erased. So cleanly that we can't even get it back " Abhi said

" We have given her basic treatment and moreover already 2 hours has been passed after her attack .So she may gain light consciousness let's wait or you try to ask her slowly. I don't know if she will response. Because if a person passes out of panic attack. It means that the brain shuts down the system to not to prevent more attacks. So you try once if she response. Well and good we can start her treatment earlier or we have to wait . "

Sandhy said

" What does that a number will matter in her treatment. If you didn't start now. Than I will put a bullet into your head " Vikram roared hearing her conversation

"It's not like that Vikram how much count she has done on that basis only we can give the medicines. " Abhi said

Abhi sat on the bed next to rakshu and hold her palms in his hands  while with other hand he stroke her hairs carefully

"Rakshu bacha see your anna has saved and you want to enjoy your life. You had a dream wedding don't you. See bacha navanee is waiting for you to explain her the meanings which she doesn't know till now. Get up bacha please. PRINCESS PAPA WANTS TO TALK WITH YOU " Abhi said controlling his urge to cry  . Rakshu made her hand movements hearing her father wants to talk with her

" Re.. Rea.... Really " Her voice came like whisper.

" Yes bacha for that you should tell me how much count did you do " Abhi asked

" Mi.... Min.. Minus... Tw... Twenty.... Tw.... Two " She said. Both abhi and sandhya widened their eyes

" Are you sure bacha you didn't do mistake in counting right " Abhi asked. Rakshu shook her head negatively.

" It's more than we thought I think someone gave her injections to stop her panic attack. But she gets breathing problems when she remembers that stalker or whoever comes in front of her. But this time she suffered more than 2 minutes. She would have gone through so much pain. That we can't even imagine." Sandhya said. Sandhya started the treatment. Where as abhi was trying to get the footage back and Vikram sitting beside her  .

After 1 day rakshu got the consciousness back. " Anna ( in kannada we call elder brother as anna ) " Rakshu called with her weak voice

Abhi who was sitting on the sofa rushed towards her. Hearing him calling .

" How are you. Do you feel any pain. Shall I call the doctor " Abhi asked.

" No just I feel little numb and I need water " Rakshu said in her weak voice. Abhi took the water bottle . Made her sit and made her drink..

"Wait I will call Dr sandhya " Abhi said . Rakshu wanted to ask about Vikram but she didn't. Dr sandhya entered the room

" How are you feeling rakshu " Sandhya asked

" Hmmm good "

" Can you tell me what happened " Sandhya said. Rakshu started shivering, sweat beats started to form on her forehead and her breaths got heavier. Abhi side hugged her. Rakshu hid her face in his chest. Vikram who entered the hospital after ensuring the security, his heart clenched seeing how she was shivering bandages around her body here and there , one hand swollen because of removing drips so they had put the drips on the other hand , her shivering body , pale and scared face .

" It's not like I'm forcing you hmm. Answer me whenever you feel best not even better ok " Sandhya spoke sweetly

" Yesterday I opened my eyes and my head ache had lessen . That's when someone gave me gift box. It was medium size and gift wrapped neatly and written on it LAST DAY LAST GIFT. I opened the  box thinking Vikram must have sent. It had the pictures of people who had crush or love me in school and college. I got a letter in it which written open the curtains of window. I literally didn't want to do whatever written in it. But I did, as if I was in control. There HE was standing staring into my deep soul, like always I can only see his eyes . He asked  me to read and answer each question which was written behind the pictures. I answered some questions , I don't wanted to answer anymore questions. So  I stood up with the help of glass table. Jug which was kept on it fell on the ground . Though my leg was feeling numb I pushed myself to close the curtain but I slipped because of water and fell on glass table because of which glass table broke. My breaths got heavier so I started counting. I felt like someone was cutting each and every supply of oxygen and I felt like I will die .HE came near me holding a injection. He injected and said not to stop the counts. And my  counts stopped at -22 " Rakshu said slowly.

" Enough for today. You opened up your problem. So now your bhaiya, you and me will fight together and defeat him. So you opened up your thoughts. Take this sticker. " Sandhya said while passing her a small mickey Mouse sticker. Rakshu smiled and took it from her. Still hugging her brother . She felt warm water on her cheeks and she lifted her face to see.

" Anna see I'm all fine. " Rakshu said cupping his cheeks

" Last time when you had the same panic attack I was with you. I saw how much you suffered for only 54 . But this time it was double and I was not with you. I should have not left the room " Abhi said. Sandhya had already left the room

" Same I also said not to leave the room but you dragged me outside " Vikram said while pushing abhi away from rakshu.

" Leave please both of you don't start fighting " Rakshu said

" Wait I have ordered the soup for you. Which is good for now and doctor has ordered you to have only liquid foods for 2 weeks" Vikram said while sitting on the bed and putting her head on his chest.

" Leave my sister and move away " Abhi said fuming in  anger

" Wait we will let choose rakshu  . That with whom she will stay " Vikram said

" Vikram " Rakshu said. Making abhi eyes widened.

"Yeah I know you are making April fool of Vikram . So stop it he will feel bad " Abhi said

" No I want Vikram to stay with me " Rakshu said

" Go go your friends must have come and even your parents " Vikram said. Abhi became  frustrated and went outside.

" What amma nad appa came " Rakshu asked.

" No it's abhi parents " Vikram said softly stroking her hairs
