AP- Let me keep you...

Piya slowly opens her eyes to see darkness surrounding her. Slowly her adjust to the minimal light and she realizes that she is in a cave like place lying on a bed of hay. She tries to remember how she got there but her memory fails her. She remembers her accident and then going back to the hostel but after that the memory is all blurred thanks to the medicines. Piya observes the place which looks familiar and suddenly it hits her that it's the same place Abhay had brought her before, when he had been angry with her. Angry enough to kidnap her and bring her to this dungeon sort of place as a punishment. She tries to remember 'now what could I have possibly done this time to trigger off his temper and get this treatment.' She is lost in her storm of thoughts when she hears footsteps. She looks back to see Abhay descending down the cave stairs. Piya looks up to him with angry and confused expression. And gets up to confront him.

Piya: Abhay. Now what did I do this time to get this royal treatment from you?

Abhay: You know, you ask way too many questions.

Piya: huh? You kidnap me and bring me out to this old scary cave and I can't even a question! *She asks with a miffed expression.*

Abhay: I thought you liked this place'like being here with me. *mischievous grin*

Piya blushes and replies: uh yeah well'but that's not the answer to my question. Why did you bring me here?

Abhay: This is not the time to answer these questions. Just know that this is all for your own good.

Piya: My good? How I can this be for my own good when I myself don't know what's this all about?

Abhay: Piya I told you, your life is in danger. I have to stay close to you. That's why I brought you here so I can be with you all the time. To protect you.

Piya: From what or whom Abhay? What is it? Please tell me?

Abhay: I can't Piya. Please don't ask questions.

*Piya looks at his face intently.* Piya: Abhay'do you trust me?

Abhay: Yes.

Piya: Then please tell me what is bothering you?

Abhay: I can't'it's something dark and deep. Too dangerous. *He looks faraway.* Piya, do you trust me?

Piya: Yes I do Abhay. More than myself.

Abhay: Good. Then believe me this is all for you. For us.

Piya: Us?

Abahy: Yes us. So please. Let me keep you, and you can keep it a secret.

Piya: Secret?

Abhay: Yes our little secret. *he winks and gives a playful smile*

Piya smiles at his smile. Oh how she loved his dimples and the twinkle in his eye when he looked at her with such love. How could she refuse him anything!

She gives a little nod. And places her head against his chest. And Abhay holds onto her as his life depends upon it. And they stand like that in blissful silence in each other's arms with no worry of the future.
