Jiya was stunned, a quizzical appearance on her beautiful face made her iris wide, her both eyebrows raised, her mind cannot understand anything.

Why he brings me here…?

What he is doing …. now…?

The questions that arise in her mind, made her heart-beat fast as her instinct alert her, a trap has been set.

“So….. How are you, young lady….”, Commander Rathod asks Jiya in a blissful tone.

Jiya only nodded her head, indicate to say she is fine, as she feels an intense gaze on her, which grasp her throat to say anything further.

“Jiya beta (daughter)…..”, a concerned identified voice from behind reach Jiya’s eardrums, she turns behind quickly, her ample eyes becomes teary, her lips quiver, mumble words come out from it, “Uncle…….”.

Jiya scrambles toward Dr. Pawan Sharma, and clasp him tightly, and burst into tears.

“Jiya beta…….. How much I worried for you…. Why you always do such mischief…….. See ….. In what you put yourself……… Thanks to God……. Captain Virat Singh, take care of you…….. and handle the situation……”, Dr. Pawan Sharma said to Jiya in a soft slight lament tone, while stroking her crown of the head.

A confusion emerged on Jiya face, as she doesn’t understand the meaning of her Uncles last words, Jiya abruptly pulled herself from his Uncles’ hold, with quivering lips she whispered in a low tone, “Uncle….. Virat ….. try to mol…..”.

Jiya wants to tell about Virat molestation on her but her words were cut by a deep husky voice.

“It’s okay…… Miss Jiya Rai……. There is no need to praise me…… It’s my duty to protect you….. I mean.. to protect citizens and also sorry for my irresponsible behavior, which leads you in huge trouble ……”, Virat said in a calm formal tone, but there is a smirk in his eyes, which Jiya feels it.

“It’s OK…….. Captain Virat Singh……… it’s just a misunderstanding …….and also somewhere, it’s Jiya mistake……… due to which it all happened……. Commander Rathod and Police Commissioner informed me about the whole scenario……. If someone other had been in your palace….. even he would also have thought the same…….. you just were doing your duty…….”, Dr. Pawan mutters calmly towards Virat, While Jiya looks at them as quizzically.

“Dr. Pawan Sharma….. it is very kind of you….. that you understood all the situation but……….. If Miss Jiya Rai wants to complain or any action against me by Army High Commands…….. then I accept it….”, Virat said in a calm tone to Dr. Pawan Sharma but his gaze was wholly on Jiya.

Jiya feels Virat intense gaze, which made her uncomfortable and fury build inside her heart.

“What you say about it….. Miss Jiya Rai….. your view is important ……. If you want to complain against Captain Virat Singh…….. you can….. but first, listen to the whole scenario, the reason for which you were kept as a prisoner in Army prison…… On that day, at Sundarnagar Fair, from the first aid tent in which you captured by Captain Virat Singh …. Actually, the girl who was behind this bombast was working as a medical accountant in that first aid tent, she was the same as your age and also coincidentally wore the same clothes as you were that day…… because of which all this confusion happened…..”, Commander Rathod explains the reason to Jiya calmly.

Suddenly the whole incident of that day flashed in Jiya’s sight and she said in a low calm tone, “Yes……. I remember…… I got some injury on my forearm, that’s why I went to the first aid tent to get some medicine….. but when I called from the outside, no one was there at that time….. so I enter inside it and got medicated myself………. As I was about to leave from there, a girl came there, she seemed to be very distressed…… When I  tried to ask her, someone shouted from outside, due to which she got more scared and she tried to flee hurriedly in that process, she pushed me, I lost my balance and fall………. My head hit by the desk and I got unconscious………”.

“Yes……. That’s why ….you were caught as a traitor instead of her…… due to this misunderstanding……”, Commander Rathod said to Jiya.

“But……. I told about my identity…….”, Jiya slightly raised her voice, as that pain of the torture hits her memory back.

“Yes… but…… you did not have your self phone nor any identification card to prove your identity as a medical student……..and when to know more …….. one of our Army officer…. called your medical college administration, they said that all the students have returned, no one has remained in the medical camp…… and I think you know that why they said so…..”, Commander Rathod said to Jiya, as he pointing out Jiya’s mistake in it.

Jiya lowers her face in a pang of guilt at, How she escaped from the bus by deception and make her friend Reshma tell lie about it….she was looking like an adorable cute cry baby, making Virat amused, a trivial smile appear on his face, an urge to take her in his arms build inside him, but he controls his emotions, as he doesn’t want to fail his plan, to trap Jiya in his embrace.

“Even… if you still want us to take any action against him………. So we have to do this…..But….let me also tell you that…… as soon as Captain Virat Singh came to know your identity………… he immediately tried to save you from further torture in Army prison…. But he was late and till then you had fainted in the refrigerator chamber…… Virat himself took you to the hospital……. And when the medical staff was less there, he took you to his mansion….. so that, you get proper medical treatment and full care……..”, Commander Rathod explains Jiya calmy as he tried his full to defense Virat.

“If this was so, why didn’t he informed my family member or friend…..”, Jiya whispered in a calm but accusation tone as she tried to bring Virat real intention in front of Commander Rathod.

But Virat sense Jiya’s intention, calmly he covers himself, “Because …. I didn’t have all your information…… I lament What I did with you in Army prison and I wanted you to be completely healthy and recover first…….. and yesterday ….. when the doctor said that you are completely fine…….. so I asked one of my known Inspector to inquire about your family information, from him I came to know that Dr. Pawan Sharma already fine a missing complain about you……. I spoke to the police commissioner and also told Commander Rathod about it….. I brought you here so that I could meet you with your Uncle…..If you still want to complain against me, then it's your decision and I will accept it………”, Virat said in a calm formal tone but his witty glance said another thing, which feels by Jiya.

“Didn’t have full information about me…! So… How could he know that I loved South Indian food .. … He told everyone about What happened in Army prison…… But at his mansion, he molests me… He didn’t tell anyone about it…….. such a manipulative and cunning man he is…..”, Jiya murmurs herself in her subconscious mind, a fury emerged in her heart, glaring a stiletto at Virat.

While on another side, Virat calmy glances at Jiya, teasing her through his witty hazel eyes, the annoyance full black orbs meet against the drolly hazel iris.

“Jiya……”, Dr. Pawan Sharma call Jiya.

But Jiya was busy, throwing dagger in Virat heart through his beautiful back rage-filled eyes. Dr. Pawan Sharma raised his voice slightly, “Jiya….Jiya beta……”.

Jiya shook her head and answer her Uncle, “ Yes…Uncle….”.

“I want to tell you one more important thing before you take any decision……”, Dr. Pawan Sharma said in an informative tone.

“What is that Uncle….”, Jiya asks her Uncle calmly.

“When we came here and our bus was hijacked by the terrorist group ……. The person who saved all of us was Captain Virat Singh……. He and his team member put their life in danger to save the life of all of us…….”, Dr. Pawan Sharma said to Jiya, as he wants from inside that Jiya should forgive Virat.

Hearing this new information, Jiya gets stunned for a while, as she never forgets that the bus hijacked incident and How the five brave soldiers save them, through on that day she doesn’t saw the faces of the soldiers properly, but she was very thankful to those soldiers who save them.

“Not only this, Captain Virat Singh is a very pleasant person, He has a good character and one of the best Army officer and also he respect women very much……… you can ask anyone about him…..”, Commander Rathod tried all his way to defense Virat in front of Jiya.

“So….. He is that Army officer, who saved me and my medical college team…..  What I do now….. the reason why he kept me at the prison and torture me is understandable…. But ….. Last night he tried to force himself on me ….What about that…? and the way, in which Commander Rathod praising and defense him……. If I tell them about his brazen action, can anyone believe me.. nor I have any proof about it….He has another face that I’ve witnessed about it…. I have to think wisely…. I just want to get out of here……the far away from him, I can, it's best…….But ………. Will, he let me go so easily……. The obsession and lust that I saw last night in his eyes, my soul was shaken by it……. Why he is allowing me to get away from himself…… is he regret his shameless action …… No…I don’t think so…still I feel his filthy glance at me……..”, Jiya whispered herself in her subconscious mind.

After a long stillness, Jiya breaks the silence by muttering in a calm tone, “I had taken my decision…Uncle…”.

“What was it …. Jiya…”,  Dr. Pawan Sharma asks Jiya in a low tone, and Commander Rathod also seems worried about his favorite obedient Army officers Captain Virat Singh.

“I do not want to complain against Captain Virat Singh……..”, Jiya declared her decision in front of everyone, a jovial appearance form on the face of Commander Rathod and Dr. Pawan Sharma also seem to be glad by hearing  Jiya’s words.

Virat does not seem so much affected by Jiya’s decision, even if Jiya was complaining against him, he would have accepted that thing happily, he believes that because of his irrresponsibilty, Jiya had gone through awful pain, but Whatever he did to her at the mansion, he has no grieve for it, as he realized being lively only by touching Jiya, for the first time his heart wants someone with a strong desire.

“But… Uncle …. I want to go back home as soon as possible……. Please, take me away from here….”, Jiya said to Dr. Pawan Sharma in a low tone as a sob form in her voice.

Vehemence builds inside Virat as Jiya against chant the same obstinate for leaving from here, her words meaning he clearly know that she wants to go far away from him, but Jiya doesn’t know that no matter what happens, Virat will not let her get away from him anymore.

“Ok… Ok… Jiya beta…We were leaving now…..”, Dr. Pawan Sharma tried to console Jiya calmly.

“No problem……. Miss Jiya Rai…. I will take you safely to your home…..”, Virat said calmly, as he tried hard not to show his real emotions in front of everyone.

“No…. I don’t want to come with you…”, Jiya suddenly screeched to which Dr. Pawan Sharma and Commander Rathod stun and look at her surprisingly.

Jiya notice this and said in a calm tone, “Actually ……. I mean to say that…….. there is no need …….. you already done so much for me……… I and Uncle will manage…..”.

Virat clenched his jaw, fisted his palms to control himself, he glare at Jiya with fury as she tried to keep herself away from him.

“Now …. We take a leave from here……. In the evening there is a flight for Delhi, we will take it….. Thank you Commander Rathod and also Thanks to Captain Virat Singh, to take care of my daughter Jiya…..”, Dr. Pawan  Sharma said in a soft tone by shaking hand with Commander Rathod and then move toward Virat to thanks him, to which Virat smile slightly to cover his inside wrath, his intense gaze was totally on Jiya, who holding Dr. Pawan Sharma hand tightly, look down, so not to meet Virat gaze and they both just leave the Army Headquarter.

*********

In the evening, Jiya with Dr. Pawan Sharma waiting for the flight at the airport to take off.

Jiya was very happy, that she finally free from Virat.

“Thanks God…. Now, I’m moving away from that Hulk… I thought that he would imprison me with him forever….. the story between us now is over……”, Jiya murmurs in her subconscious mind, while a joy appear on her face, made her plumpy pink lips raised to form a beautiful smile.

Dr. Pawan Sharma  notice Jiya happiness, “Look like you are very happy now…….. Will you do such a prank again…?”, Dr. Pawan Sharma said to Jiya, in a soft warning tone.

“No…! Uncle…. I promised….. Won’t do anything like that again……. I’ve got a big lesson…. I do not want to experience this thing again in my life….”, Jiya told to her Uncle in a soft low tone, as her lasts words refere to Virat, that she don’t want to meet him again.

“Excuse me…Sir…”, a person called Dr. Pawan Sharma from aside.

Dr. Pawan Sharma and Jiya turns their face to see that person, he was an inspector.

“Are you Dr. Pawan Sharma…”, A police officer asks to Dr. Pawan Sharma.

“Yes… I am Dr. Pawan Sharma…..What’s the matter…Inspector…”, Dr. Pawan Sharma response to Inspector in a worried tone.

“It is not a big deal Sir…. You had file a missing complaint of Miss Jiya Rai…now…She has met, that’s Why…just wanted the signature of yours on some official documents…Please come with me…”, Inspector said to Dr. Pawan Sharma.

“Ok…. Inspector….”, Dr. Pawan Sharma answer to Inspector, then turn his face toward Jiya,“Jiya beta …..Our flight will take off in twenty five minutes….I will come back in ten minutes… OK…”, Dr. Pawan Sharma said  to Jiya on which she nodded her head and he go to sign the documents with Inspector.

Jiya stand from her seat and rolling here and there on airport, suddenly someone grab her hand and pulled her closed to himself. Jiya eyes got wide in shocked, “YYou…”, She shattered in shaken.

Virat was holding Jiya forcefully in his embrace, and he smirked.

Virat turn Jiya abruptly and hold her from behind as her back collapsed with his hard chest, by gripping her both wrist firmly in his one hand on her front,  by another hand, he slide her black silky hair from her back and put it on her other side of the shoulder, leaned his face down, place a kiss on her nape and warp up his arms around her waist,put his head in the crook of her neck.

Jiya heart thumping in her chest, her breath got stuck in her lungs, her legs were slightly treambling, she tried to resisted Virat but he made his gripped on her more tight.

Virat trailer the feathery kiss on her neck to the shoulder and raised his face up to her ear, nibbled in her earlobe and licked it, he whimpered softly, “Don’t ever to think ….. it was end…it is an starting of our story, …My beloved…”.
