30.

Ishika and Abhimanyu returned back to India after their beautiful and peaceful honeymoon. It was peaceful because Ishika didn't receive any message from the stalker unaware of the phone conversation that happened between Abhimanyu and the stalker.

There was one more thing that Ishika had to tell Abhimanyu about the incident that night. She hasn't had any nightmares in the last few months, maybe because Abhi is always there to calm her heart. Currently they were in their room getting rid of jet lag.

Abhimanyu just like a little kid kept on glancing at his ring. It was the first ever gift Ishika gave him but that was the best not this materialistic ring but her confession that was his best gift he ever received. Ishika pokes Abhimanyu's cheeks "abhi how long are you gonna stare at it?"

"It's the best gift my wife has given to me.. i'm gonna stare at it as long as i can" Abhimanyu spoke and pecked Ishika's lips. Ishika chuckles and gets up and she goes out of the room. Abhimanyu was scrolling through their pictures to frame if he wished he could make a room alone for Ishika's and his picture together.

Suddenly his phone notification ran indicating he got a message. It was from an unknown number he opened the message. There was a video message. He clicked on the video and next thing he saw his blood boil in anger. He threw his phone aside and got up walking towards his mother's room.

"Ishi.. please come with me" he didn't want to scare Ishika or his mother. Ishika frowned after excusing herself as she walked out of radhika's room. "What happened abhi?" Abhimanyu held Ishika's hand and took her to their room. He made her sit on the bed. He took his phone and played the video.

Ishika's face turned in horror to her biggest nightmare. She faced that night , her hand clutched on his phone tightly. "Ishi.." abhi saw how scared she was he called her out gently "ishi look at me" he tilted her chin to look at him. Her eyes were glossy and she would cry any moment now. She desperately wanted to forget everything but just couldn't..

Abhimanyu kneeled in front of her, taking her hand in his. "ishi.. I know you don't want to remember these things by telling me but ishi if you won't tell me how will i catch him.." Abhi spoke, controlling his anger. Right now anger won't help Ishika, instead it will make things worse.

Ishika sniffles "abhi ... i.. he .." she broke down those terrifying events played in front of her eyes. Abhimanyu Caressing her knuckle "shhh calm down first" he gave her water to drink , after sometime she calmed down. When I was in my 2 nd year of college I was kidnapped by this man.

Ishika was walking back home after college after a whole year . Someone asked her to be his friend. She was damn happy. She was finally gonna have a friend who would sit in on the lecture with her and who would eat lunch with her. But suddenly someone covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

She tried to remove the hanky but the man was too strong and slowly everything went into darkness. Ishika opened her eyes after sometime only to find herself tied to a chair. It was dark and she could hardly see anything. But one thing she could see was Rehan who asked her to be his friend.

He was almost half dead.. badly beaten bruises on his cheeks, black eyes covered in blood. "R.. Rehan" ishika whispered. She was too scared of what was even happening to her. Rehan looked at her and he could hardly see anything, his eyesight was completely destroyed.

Ishika heard footsteps coming into the room. She pretended to close her eyes but that man was smart enough. He held Ishika's chin. He wore a mask, a face mask, a scary face mask. "Bunny I can't tell you how happy I am to see you here my love , you didn't notice me so I had to bring you here for you to notice me.

Ishika winch in pain as the grip on her chin was getting tighter. "You see this guy laughed with you, he dared to talk to you.. so i made sure he could never talk.. and you know you'll see it with your own eyes what i do to him so that you'll always remember to never talk to any other guy and just talk to me.."

The masked man walked to rehan with a iron rod ishika shook her head she knew what was going to happen but she was tied she couldn't stop the masked man "n..no please don't i beg you don't do anything to him.. he is already injured please" ishika kept on begging but the masked man didn't stop he gave rehan 1 hit 2 hit and he kept on hitting rehan.

Ishika closed her eyes shut she was crying , feeling breathless she felt like she was rehan's murderer. Rehan layed there life less , the masked man walked to Ishika "see bunny this is just one example if you talk to anyone else.. you smile at anyone else.. you try being anyone else's friend or lover he'll be dead the moment. Because only i can be your lover, only i can talk to you only i.. can smile to you, Remember bunny my eyes are always on you.. there's no escape bunny and soon you'll be here on my bed and we would do lots of things I won't let you leave. Never"

The masked man laughed, his touch was disgusting , his hand was bloody . The man leaned in burying his face in Ishika's crook of neck. She was helpless and she couldn't do anything. She felt disgusted when he smelled her hair. "You smell such a nice bunny, just perfect" Ishika felt something pricking on her neck and her vision became blurry.

"When i woke up i was on road from where i was kidnapped i thought it was all a dream but that man left a note written 'its not a dream.. you killed rehan bunny' since that night i always have these nightmare rehan's death in front of my eyes my hands are red in his blood..rehan died he was innocent still he was killed because of me..i trusted stalkers words i killed rehan.. I am his murderer."

Ishika buried her face in her hands crying "abhi.. i am sure your accident was also his doing.. he is a psycho i should have told you everything but i was scared to even breath about it.. whenever i remember that i night all i could see his Rehan 's lifeless body.. i.."

Abhimanyu pulls ishika in his embrace, Caressing her hair "no ishi.. just calm down just breath first" ishika sniffles and takes a few breaths calming herself. After Ishika was calmed, Abhi pulled away. "Noe listen to me" abhi spoke softly "what happened to rehan was not your fault.. nor it was his own he just wanted to be your friend. It was that man's fault. I promise you ishi.. we'll give rehan justice that man will pay for everything every fucking single thing. I promise you"
