Inevitably, she had looked for him, needing rescue. And inevitably he was there, standing between her and pain.

**************************************

His jeep was parked on the side of the narrow alleyway. He stood in front of it, waiting, watching her.


So. It would be her choice.


Inside, with Mami-sa and three more days of suffocation. Or away, driving into a wild, free night, with him. Back to the unknown home where she was wanted, back to the odd little family where she was needed. With the man she could not ever imagine wanting to possess, but who clearly thought he possessed her.

But perhaps, it was not about possession. Perhaps, it was about belonging.
Paro stared at Rudra, across the alley, as he looked back at her, watchful, silent.


She could smell his scent, wintergreen and ice. (The smell of petrol and the scent of evening cooking smells rose around her. )

She could hear his breathing, in and out, even, calm. (The barking of street dogs chorused around her in their nightly song)

She could feel his eyes radiate heat, shimmer with a light of its own. (The glaring yellow of gas-lit roadside stalls dimmed and flared, hissing softly).

Paro got up, and walked slowly to the jeep. Silently, she climbed into the passenger side. Rudra got into his seat, turning on the engine, the soft purring sound roaring into life. She looked out the window, at the passing sand dunes and flickering lights of the city as they drove away from Jaipur, leaning back against the passenger seat. And, as quickly as that, as quietly as that, Paro was on her way back to where she belonged.

Napster -you will not believe me but I sat in a meeting writing an epilogue to this chapter in my head. All I want is a welcome home hug.

I am a big fan oc ur writing. U rite so wellm. Hats off. 👏

Dear ur stories r even better dan d show itself 👏 👏 ..wud like to see ur description of paro's beauty..way to go 👍🏼

wow! your stories have this junoon to them that i dont see in normal bestsellers... fantastic!👏

The best part of this story is - though based on a love story it is not only a love story but it is intertwined with the stories of all the other characters that make the love possible. It is not only about the protagonists, here every character breathes and thinks, they make their presence felt by their actions which pave the way upon which Rudra and Paro walk.
M I even making sense? 😆
In short, loved how you portrayed Mamisa's, Dilsher's and Aman's emotions, besides loving Rudra and Paro's inner conflicts ofcourse...U r my fav writer now, Navin!

Fantastic story.

Possessive... Calling Rudra possessive is like calling water wet. The two just go together!

That was brilliant, better than the show .rudra's intensity was portrayed and voiced beautifully . I just love it.
