PAST

India

Shivanshi yawned and reached for her phone, rubbing her eyes as she blinked away the sleep. It was a Monday morning, and like every weekday, her mom was there to wake her up for college. She could hear the sound of her mother's footsteps approaching, and soon enough, the familiar voice echoed through the door.
"Shivanshi, wake up! It's time for college," her mom called out cheerfully.
Groaning, Shivanshi rolled out of bed and shuffled towards her closet, her mind still drowsy with remnants of dreams. As she got ready, she couldn't help but feel a sprinkle of excitement mixed with melancholy. Her boyfriend, Adhiraj Rathore, top businessman and billionaire was in London for the meetings.

After brushing her teeth and freshening up, Shivanshi walked downstairs to the tantalizing aroma of her mom's cooking. In the kitchen, her parents sat at the table, engrossed in their morning conversation.

"Good morning, sweetheart!" her mom greeted her with a warm smile. "Sit down, breakfast is ready."
Shivanshi eagerly joined them, her spirits immediately lifted by the sight of her favorite spread. Her mom had prepared a delicious Indian breakfast, complete with fluffy puris, spicy potato curry, and a bowl of tangy chutney. It was a perfect start to the day.

As she savored each bite, Shivanshi's phone vibrated on the table, signaling an incoming message. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw that it was Adhiraj.
"Good morning, beautiful. I miss you every day," the text read.
A smile spread across Shivanshi's face, and she quickly typed a reply.

"Good morning. Miss you too! London must be amazing. Can't wait to hear all about it!"

Throughout the day, as Shivanshi attended lectures and went about her college routine, her thoughts kept drifting towards Adhiraj.
During lunch break, Shivanshi found herself engrossed in conversations with her friends, but her mind was elsewhere. As much as she enjoyed their company, she craved the warmth of Adhiraj's presence. It felt like a piece of her was missing.
Later that evening, as the sun began to set, Shivanshi returned home with a mixture of anticipation and longing. She missed Adhiraj more than ever, even though it was 3 months to their relationship she saw herself falling in love with him, and the wait to see him felt almost unbearable.
She glanced at the clock, realizing that it was early evening in London and Adhiraj must be in office

Nevertheless, she decided to give him a call.
After a few rings, Adhiraj's voice greeted her through the phone. Even across distance, hearing his voice brought comfort to Shivanshi's heart.
"Hey, babe! How was your day?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement.
Adhiraj chuckled. "Amazing, as always. I wish you were here to experience it with me."
They spoke for hours, catching up on every detail of their lives.
As the conversation drew to a close, Shivanshi couldn't help but feel a sense of hope.
With a sigh of contentment, Adhiraj bid Shivanshi goodnight, clutching her phone tightly as she drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow was a new day, filled with possibilities, and she knew that their love would continue to thrive despite the distance.
And so, as the moon cast its gentle glow upon Shivanshi, she dreamt of the day she would finally be in Adhiraj's arms, under the same sky, no matter the distance that separated them.

On other side

London

"Bye baby, goodnight, dream about me"
Adhiraj cut the call and glanced around as he could see his three best friends sitting in his huge office cabin and smirking at him.
Neil Ahuja, Anil Basu, Sirish Patel and Adhiraj Rathore were group of friends who always had each other's support, they grew up together in elite school of London as their all families hail from rich background.

Breaking the silence of the room, Anil asked Adhiraj

"So all set, tumse pyaar karne lagi kya woh"
Adhiraj stood up and walked slowly to the glass window from where he could see entire London, the country he owns.
He answered "Not yet, abhi toh bas 3 mahine hue hai, aage dekho kya hota hai, jab usse mujhse pyaar hoga tabse uski barbaadi shuru"

Anil laughed " Tu bada haraami hai yaar and woh... she's literally like a bird"

Adhiraj smiled cruelly "I want to cage that bird and break it's every wing so it won't fly away"

His friends smirked, getting the chance, Neil asked "So did you get her taste yet or she's still shy?"

Adhiraj replied "Not yet but soon" With the dark glint he said

Neil replied "Raj we also want taste of her, after you are done send her to us" to which Anil added  "Ah yes uff uski mulayam patli kamar"

Hearing their words something shifted in Adhiraj's heart but he couldn't pin point the feeling, and again rage towards her blinded his vision and he replied nonchalantly "Sure, after I'm done with her, you all can have her" his friends smirked.

"Soon darling you will be in my clutches then see how I will break you" he said looking towards the buzzing city as if making a promise.
Cruel laughter echoed off the walls, intertwining with the sinister whispers of monsters and the devil. Their chilling voices carried malevolent intent as they plotted to harm the innocent angel, their plans dripping with malice and darkness.
