It was really getting darker, she was too scared to even look around.
She started walking in the direction unknown, what will come up next. She was too much engrossed in her thoughts just cursing her friend for forcing her to join her birthday party and her phone had no network coverage to make any call.

She was silently praying her God "Oh why today all this had to happen why did my car break down in this secluded area where there is no trace of even an animal."

Oh gosh what's going to happen now ...all these thoughts were attacking her brain. She kept on walking with maximum speed.

Suddenly she saw a vehicle coming towards her.Within seconds she was pulled aside by strong arms towards a tree that had little shelter to have got at that place..she was blank for few minutes because of the impact of stranger's pull in fraction of second.

Next moment that person was talking to someone else instructing him to drop her wherever her destination was as her car had broke down ...she was shocked to hear him say that because she had not seen a single vehicle from long time ...she again started praying "oh why me?!"

"I hope he is not any vampire" thinking about that she started shivering ..she tried to see his face but it was too dark to even see the slightest glimpse of any of his body part...he asked her to get in the car and his driver will drop her.

Within no seconds he started walking with his phone making a call ....quietly she sat on the back seat 

and once the flash lights of car fell on his back all that she could see was well built tall body with a small sun tatoo with M letter on his neck ...she could see that as he was wearing white T-shirt with bit lower neck.

She felt a strong jerk as the car jolted real fast and she had to put breaks on her glance and thoughts disappointingly ...she tried talking to the driver but he didn't react a bit except for asking where she wanted to be dropped !

Was that you?

After the grand engagement party everyone were in relaxed mood lazying around. 


It had been a week since engagement. Nandini was watching TV on Saturday morning when suddenly her phone beeped. The message and picture shattered her to the fullest she just couldn't believe her eyes. She started calling Manik frantically but getting no response from him she started sobbing and next moment she fainted. 


Nandini struggled to open her eyes, she heard some commotion around her but with great difficulty she tried to open her eyes she assumed she was in the hospital. 


"Nandini, what happened to you why did you faint are you OK please tell me you are fine Nandu..I was so scared ..." Manik didn't stop blabbering. 


Nandini remembered everything, phone message, Manik, everything flashed to her in jiffy. Suddenly, she shoved his arms which were resting on her shoulder.
