21. Adventure

AYAAN MUKHERJEE'S POV

I wake up to an empty bed, stretching my arms and yawning. But as I sit up, I realize Yuvraaj is nowhere to be found. I look around the room, but he's not there.

I feel a pang of disappointment, wondering where he went. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower, hoping he'll be back by the time I'm done.

As I step under the warm water, I can't help but think about last night. Yuvraaj's touch, his kisses, his loving words... it all feels like a dream.

I finish my shower and get dressed, still wondering where Yuvraaj went. That's when I see a note on the bedside table.

"Hey baby, had to go home for a bit. Will be back soon.

Yuvraaj Singhania."

I smile, feeling a mix of relief and longing. I miss him already.

Hey wait, what's happening with me? Am I falling for him?

A mafia?

Yuvraaj Singhania.

What if he doesn't feel the same?

What if he is playing with my feelings.

What if he just wants my body?

Like everybody else.

I sighed.

I have no right to think all these things when I absolutely know, no one gonna ever love me.

They all are the same.

They all just use me and throw me like a dirty tissue paper.

Nalini words ring in my mind.

"Ayaan, you are a waste of oxygen.

You should apologise to the world for wasting the resources like this."

"Ayaan mark my words, no one ever gonna love you, you will be just like your mother.

You will be used and when your work will be done, you will be tossed aside."

"Ayaan."

"Ayaan, you are useless."

"You are fool."

"You can't do a thing right."

I put aside my useless thought and went towards my house.

I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling as my mind replayed every moment of last night. Yuvraaj's smile, his laugh, the way his eyes sparkled in the dim light... it was all so vivid, so real.

I couldn't believe how much I had enjoyed his company, how much I had enjoyed being with him. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, like I could finally be myself.

But as the memories flooded my mind, I couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty. What did last night mean for us? Was it just a one-time thing, or was there something more?

I thought about the way Yuvraaj had held me, the way he had looked at me with such intensity. It felt like he had seen right through me, like he had understood me in a way no one else ever had.

I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. I was happy, but I was also scared. Scared of getting hurt, scared of losing myself in this newfound connection.

Suddenly i heard a thud on the window.

I froze, my heart skipping a beat as I saw Yuvraaj's face pressed against the windowpane. He was smiling mischievously, his eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement.

I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. What was he doing here? And how did he even climb up to my window?

I got out of bed and made my way to the window, opening it to let Yuvraaj in. He hoisted himself up and swung his legs over the sill, landing with a soft thud on my floor.

'What are you doing here?' I asked, trying to sound stern but failing miserably.

Yuvraaj grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners. 'I couldn't sleep,' he said, his voice low and husky. 'I kept thinking about last night... and I couldn't wait until morning to see you again.'

My heart skipped another beat as he took a step closer to me, his eyes burning with intensity. I could feel the chemistry between us crackling like electricity, drawing us closer together.

I felt my pulse racing as Yuvraaj took another step closer, his face inches from mine. I could smell the scent of his cologne, mixed with the sweet aroma of the night air.

'Last night was... incredible, you were incredible' he whispered, his breath caressing my skin. 'I can't stop thinking about it.'

I swallowed hard, my mouth dry. 'You too,' I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.

Yuvraaj's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with intensity. 'I want to do it again,' he said, his voice low and husky. 'I want to feel you close to me, to taste your lips, to...'

He didn't finish the sentence, but I knew exactly what he meant. I wanted it too, desperately.

Without another word, my lips crashed onto his one, sending shivers down my spine. We kissed like we were starving, like we couldn't get enough of each other.

As we broke apart for air, Yuvraaj smiled, his eyes sparkling with mischief. 'I guess I should have come to your window sooner,' he said, chuckling.

I laughed, feeling my heart soar. 'Indeed,' I agreed, pulling him back in for another kiss.

As we kissed, I felt like I was melting into Yuvraaj's arms. It was like our bodies were made for each other, like we were two pieces of a puzzle finally fitting together.

Yuvraaj's hands roamed my body, sending shivers down my spine. I felt alive, like I was electric.

We broke apart, gasping for air, and Yuvraaj smiled at me. 'I have something,' he said, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

'What is it?' I asked, curious.

'Let's sneak out,' he said. 'Let's go on an adventure.'

I raised an eyebrow. 'What kind of adventure?'

Yuvraaj grinned. 'I'll show you. Trust me.'

I hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. Why not? I was already in this deep.

We snuck out of my room, down the stairs, and out into the night. The air was cool and crisp, filled with the scent of blooming flowers.

Yuvraaj took my hand, leading me through the streets. We walked for a while, not saying much, just enjoying each other's company.

Finally, we arrived at a lake. It was beautiful, the water sparkling in the moonlight.

Yuvraaj turned to me, his eyes shining with excitement. 'Want to go for a swim?' he asked.

I hesitated, but then nodded. I mean Why not? It was a night for adventure.

I stripped down to my boxers and Yuvraaj did the same. We stood at the water's edge, hand in hand, and then took the plunge.

The water was cool and refreshing, a perfect antidote to the heat of the night. We swam and splashed, laughing and playing like kids.

As we swam, I felt a sense of freedom I'd never experienced before. It was like I'd shed all my inhibitions, all my fears, and was just living in the moment.

Yuvraaj swam up to me, his eyes shining with mischief. 'Race you to the other side,' he said, grinning.

I nodded, and we took off, our strokes powerful and sure. We reached the other side, panting and laughing, and then wrapped our arms around each other.

As we stood there, the water lapping at our waists, Yuvraaj leaned in and kissed me. It was a soft, gentle kiss, but it sent shivers down my spine.

'I'm so glad I met you, you are doing something to me ayaan. I just can't think of anything else but you.' he whispered, his lips still touching mine.

'Me too,' I replied, smiling.

We stood there for a while, wrapped in each other's arms, the only sound the lapping of the water against the shore.

It was a moment I knew I'd never forget, a moment that would stay with me forever.

I felt a hand with handkerchief on my mouth.

Everything went black. One minute I was wrapped in Yuvraaj's arms, the next I was falling through darkness.

I tried to struggle, but my body felt heavy, unresponsive. I heard Yuvraaj's muffled voice, trying to call out to me, but it was distant, fading away.

When I came to, I was disoriented, groggy. I was lying on a cold, hard floor, my head throbbing with pain.

As my vision cleared, I saw Yuvraaj lying next to me, his eyes closed. I tried to reach out to him, but my hands were tied behind my back.

Panic set in as I realized we'd been kidnapped. But who could have done this? And why?

I struggled against my bonds, trying to free myself, but they were too tight.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside the room. The door creaked open, and a figure loomed in the doorway.

'Welcome, Ayaan,' the figure said, its voice dripping with malice. 'I've been waiting for you.'"
