Chapter 8: Exit plan

Scene 1: Reeva's Final Attempt

Dr. Reeva decides to confront Tanvi one last time.

They meet in the abandoned, dust-covered section of the college library — a place long forgotten by students… just like the girl sitting in front of her.

Reeva speaks with quiet firmness:

> "Tanvi... I've come to talk to you one last time.

I'm a doctor, not a judge. But what I see now — is the truth."

Tanvi gives a hollow smile, eyes blank yet piercing.

> "Then go on, doctor... what's your final verdict on me?"

Reeva sighs, struggling to remain composed.

> "You're not evil, Tanvi. But you are sick.

Your obsession is killing the love you claim to protect.

You're not loving Kartik... you're possessing him."

Tanvi slowly stands, stepping closer. Her voice is soft — but chilling:

> "Obsession is just another form of love, doctor.

And Kartik? He's mine.

Forever."

Silence fills the air.

A silence louder than any scream.

A silence reeking of madness.

The next morning, Reeva submits an emergency transfer request.

Within two days, it's approved.

Scene 2: Reeva's Last Warning to Kartik

Outside the hostel gate, Reeva stops Kartik one final time.

> "I'm leaving, Kartik. For good.

But before I go... there's something you need to hear."

She looks into his eyes, dead serious.

> "Tanvi is mentally unstable.

If you ever cheat her — or even think of leaving her...

she won't just break your heart.

She might take your life."

> "She's dangerous.

But she loves you — in her broken, terrifying way.

The only way you'll survive... is if you either become her slave —

or vanish from her world completely."

Kartik doesn't respond.

He just stands there, frozen.

For the first time, he feels only one thing inside his veins —

cold fear.

Scene 3: Rudra's Confrontation

Rudra had been watching. Silently. Carefully.

But now, he explodes.

By the riverbank, Kartik and Tanvi are sitting and talking when Rudra storms in — fury in his eyes.

He shouts:

> "You might be his girlfriend...

But he's my best friend!"

> "He has the right to make his own decisions!

Keeping him chained to you 24/7 isn't love — it's a prison!"

Tanvi's eyes blaze. Her calm cracks. Her voice sharpens like a blade:

> "Kartik is M-I-N-E.

I'll do whatever I want.

Because I love him... more than life itself."

Rudra yells, boiling with rage:

> "Then death is better than this kind of love!"

He grabs Kartik's hand and pulls him away:

> "Let's go, bro. Leave this psycho."

Scene 4: Rudra is Found Dead ☠️

The next day, campus is in shock.

> 📰 "Student Found Dead Near Campus Cliff. Suicide Suspected."

But only Kartik knew…

Rudra had threatened Tanvi the night before.

And the CCTV footage from that cliff?

> "Corrupted."

Since that day, Tanvi had become even more sweet.

Softer. Gentler. Always crying. Always clinging to Kartik.

> "I miss Rudra...

He was your best friend, right?

Maybe it's my fault… everything ended because of me…"

But deep inside Kartik's heart, one burning question refused to die:

> "Did Tanvi plan this...?

Or was it all... just a coincidence?"

⚠️ Chapter End: Torn Diary Page

A torn page from Tanvi's diary is found — stained, scratched, and chilling:

> "Whoever tries to take Kartik away from me…

will either be buried beneath the ground…

or beneath my feet."
