His Heaven Her Hell
THE DEVIL'S SANCTUARY
The underground basement...
A man's painful scream echoed through the concrete walls.
The guards standing outside instinctively lowered their heads.
No one dared to look inside.
Not when...
HE was inside.
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
*stood beside the heavy iron door*
Hands behind his back.
Face expressionless.
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "Three hours..."
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "Boss has been inside for three hours..."
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "This professor really chose the wrong person to mess with..."
Another scream escaped from inside.
The sound alone made a young guard flinch.
Guard
(thinking) 😨: "Why is Boss so angry today...?"
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
*closed his eyes😑*
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "Because..."
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "Someone looked at HIS Butterfly."
A professor hung weakly from steel restraints.
Bruises covered his face.
His breathing had become uneven.
Even lifting his head had become difficult.
The man dressed completely in black stopped in front of him.
Only his honey-brown eyes reflected beneath the dim light.
The professor forced himself to speak.
Random Man
😨: "Who are you...?"
Random Man
😨: "What did I ever do to you?!"
A smile that carried no warmth.
Kaal
*took another slow step*
Kaal
🥶: "...at my Butterfly."
Random Man
*frowned in confusion*
Random Man
😨: "B-Butterfly...?"
Random Man
😨: "I don't know anyone by that name!"
The sound echoed throughout the basement.
Even the guards outside felt chills run down their spines.
Kaal
🥶: "Of course you don't."
Kaal
🥶: "Because only I call her that."
Kaal
*slowly removed one glove*
His honey brown eyes softened.
Kaal
🥶: "The purest soul this world has ever created."
Kaal
🥶: "Too innocent to see the darkness around her."
Random Man
*shook his head frantically*
Random Man
😨: "I never touched anyone!"
Kaal
🥶: "That was enough."
The professor's tears streamed down his face.
Random Man
😨: "I have a family..."
Kaal
*expressions didn't changed*
Kaal
🥶: "Then you should've known..."
Kaal
🥶: "...how precious innocence is."
Kaal
*turned away from the professor*
Kaal
🥶: "...still believes people are kind."
Kaal
🥶: "She smiles without fear."
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Kaal
🥶: "She doesn't know..."
Kaal
🥶: "...how many wolves disappear before reaching her."
Laksh silently looked at the floor.
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "Boss..."
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "You've been protecting YOUR Butterfly for eleven years..."
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
(thinking) 🥲: "Will she ever know?"
Another sharp cry echoed.
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
*slowly exhaled*
The professor's story had ended.
The heavy basement door creaked open.
A lazy whistle echoed.
Unknown
😏: "Someone seems to be in a worse mood than usual."
Every guard immediately relaxed.
Only one person dared enter this place smiling.
A tall man walked inside.
A mischievous grin on his face.
As if he had entered a café...
Instead of a room everyone feared.
Bhairava
😏: "Finished already?"
Bhairava glanced at the silent room.
Then sighed dramatically.
Bhairava
😏: "If you keep cleaning the world yourself..."
Bhairava
😏: "...I'll lose my job."
Laksh Kapoor/ Kaal's Assistant
*quickly elbowed him*
Guard
*straightened immediately*
Guard
(thinking) 😭: "Not today..."
Bhairava
*looked towards kaal again*
Bhairava
😏: "Butterflies aren't meant to live inside storms."
A brief silence followed.
Kaal
*slowly wore his gloves again*
Kaal
*walked towards the exit*
Kaal
🖤: "Then I'll become the cage, the sky, and the garden."
Kaal
🥶: "Anything... except a man who lets her fly away."
Bhairava
*watched him leave*
Bhairava
*a smile tugged at his lips*
Bhairava
(thinking) 😌: "You're hopeless..."
Bhairava
(thinking) 😌: "...completely hopeless."
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
*voice echoed through the corridor*
Students instinctively turned their heads.
Everyone was used to Ruhi's dramatic entrances.
Standing near the library, a girl slowly turned around.
A soft smile naturally curved on her lips.
Long, silky black hair swayed gently with the morning breeze, reaching below her waist.
Sea-green eyes sparkled under the sunlight, carrying a calmness that was strangely comforting.
She wasn't someone who demanded attention.
People noticed her anyway.
Not because she was loud.
But because she carried an effortless warmth wherever she went.
Simple silver earrings peeked through her hair, while her white kurti paired with light blue jeans made her look no different from any ordinary college student.
At least that's what everyone believed.
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
"Coming..."
She adjusted the books in her arms before walking towards her friends.
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
*immediately crossed her arms.*
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"Finally!"
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"Do you even know how long we've been waiting?"
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
*giggled softly*
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
"Only... five minutes?"
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"Twenty-three."
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"I counted."
Before Nakshatra could reply...
A familiar voice interrupted.
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😎: "Correction."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😎: "She counted."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😎: "I was peacefully eating samosas."
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*burst into laughter.😂*
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
🤭: "Your stomach deserves an award."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😎: "Thank you."
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
*rolled her eyes dramatically.🙄*
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"Your only talent is eating."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😎: "And surviving your lectures."
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
*simply shook her head*
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
"You two will never stop arguing, will you?"
Ruhi 🌸 & Ruhan 😎: "Never."
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*laughed even harder🤣*
The four continued walking through the bustling campus.
Students rushed towards their classrooms.
Some were busy clicking pictures.
Others sat beneath the old banyan tree, discussing assignments.
It was just another ordinary college morning.
After walking for a while...
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*suddenly frowned*
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
"By the way..."
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
"Has anyone noticed Professor Malhotra hasn't come for almost a week?"
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
*nodded*
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"Yeah."
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"No classes."
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
"No notice."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
*shrugged*
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
"Maybe he got transferred."
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*smiled*
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
"Good."
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
"He always gave me creepy vibes."
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
*looked ahead quietly*
She remembered the uncomfortable feeling she used to get whenever that professor looked at her.
She quickly brushed the thought aside.
Nakshatra Mishra/FL
"Let's just hope the next professor is better."
Thousands of kilometres away...
A chapter of someone's life had already ended.
Who unknowingly lived under the protection of a man who called her only one thing...

THE HOMECOMING
📍 Shekhawat Mansion, Mumbai
08:10 A.M.
The usually serene Shekhawat Mansion had transformed into a festival of joy.
Fresh marigold garlands adorned every pillar.
A beautiful rangoli decorated the grand entrance.
The aroma of freshly prepared sweets drifted from the kitchen.
Servants hurried through every corridor.
Unknown
"Careful with those flowers!"
Unknown
"The silverware should be on the main dining table."
Unknown
"Quick! Bring the aarti thali."
Laughter...
Excitement...
Happiness...
Every corner of the mansion reflected only one emotion.
The eldest son of the Shekhawat family...

("My Home Minister")
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😌: "He's not a five-year-old child."
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😌: "He knows the way home."
The servants immediately lowered their heads.
Maid

Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother

Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother
🙂: "Then tonight..."
She pointed towards the living room sofa.
Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother

The servants pretended to be extremely busy.
Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother
😳: "Behave..."
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*chucked😂*
The sound of luxury car entering the mansion echoed throughout the estate.
Every servant instinctively stopped what they were doing.
The massive iron gates slowly opened.
A black Rolls-Royce entered the driveway.
It finally came to a halt.
Kartik Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*stepped out first*
He respectfully walked towards the rear door.
Opening it...
He stepped aside.
A polished black shoe touched the ground.
A perfectly tailored black three-piece suit.
A luxury watch resting around his wrist.
His honey-brown eyes calmly observed the mansion standing before him.
There wasn't excitement on his face.
Only...
A quiet sense of belonging.
The mansion doors opened.
Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother
*walked out holding the beautifully decorated Aarti thaali*
Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother

Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*lovingly placed his hand on his son's head.*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😊: "Jeete raho."
Anshika gently applied a tilak to his forehead.
Performed his aarti.
Then quietly removed his nazar using salt and mustard seeds.
Her lips silently prayed...
That no evil ever touched her child again.
Unable to stop herself...
She cupped his face.
Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother
🥹: "You've become thinner."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
😊: "You say that every time Maa."
Unable to control her emotions...
She hugged him tightly.
Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother
🥹: "Welcome home."
For a brief second...
Devansh closed his eyes.
Simply embracing the warmth he had missed.
Sameer and Isha stepped forward.
Devansh respectfully bent down once again.
Taking their blessings.
Sameer Singh Shekhawat/ML's Uncle
😊: "Stay happy, beta."
Isha Singh Shekhawat/ML's Aunt
🥹: "May God always protect you."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML

Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML

Before anyone could speak further...
Ruhi quietly walked towards him.
Her eyes had already turned slightly red.
She stopped just in front of him.
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
🥹: "Bhai..."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
*looked at her*
The warmth in his eyes deepened.

*hugged him tightly*
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
*smiled softly*
One hand gently rested on her head.
Patiently comforting her.

Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
😅: "I promised myself I wouldn't cry."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
😂: "And yet..."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
😊: "You lost."
Ruhi Singh Shekhawat/ML's Sister/Twin
*pouted😗*
Ruhan walked forward next.
A respectful smile rested on his face.
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😊: "Welcome home, Bhai."
The two brothers hugged briefly.
Devansh patted his shoulder.
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
🙂: "How are you?"
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😊: "Good."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
😊: "We've all been waiting."
Ruhan Singh Shekhawat/ML's Brother/ Twin
*simply nodded*
He understood more than those words conveyed.
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*smiled warmly.*
Kavya Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
☺: "Welcome back, Dev Bhai."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
*gently patted her head.*
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML

Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*immediately raised his hand.*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😂: "Excuse me!"
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😂: "Your Badi Maa already has that designation."
Everyone laughed.
Even Anshika couldn't help smiling.
Kartik Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*quietly stood beside them.*
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
*looked at him*
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
🙂: "Everything alright?"
Kartik Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
*nodded respectfully*
Kartik Singh Shekhawat/ML's Cousin
😊: "Yes, Bhai."
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
Sometimes...
A single question was enough.
The family slowly walked inside together.
Laughter echoed through the mansion once again.
After so long...
The Shekhawat Mansion finally felt complete.
Standing among them...
Devansh looked exactly like what the world believed him to be.
A successful businessman.
A loving son.
A caring elder brother.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
📍 Shakti's Study 11:15 A.M.
The heavy wooden door slowly closed.
A room that had witnessed countless business decisions...
It held only a father and a son.
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*stood beside the large window, his hands tucked inside his pockets.*
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
*calmly walked towards the bookshelf before stopping.*
Only silence accompanied them.
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father

Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father

Exactly what his son meant.
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*sighed quietly*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😮💨: "Do you really have to talk to your father in this tone?"
A faint smile tugged at Devansh's lips.
Barely noticeable.
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
"You started it."
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*rolled his eyes*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😒: "Look at him..."
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father

Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
😌: "You should've welcomed me properly then."
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*clicked his tongue.*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😤: "Ungrateful son."
A mischievous glint appeared in Devansh's eyes.
One that hardly anyone ever got to see.
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
😉: "Should I tell Maa?"
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
*frowned*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father

*scoffed*
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😏: "Scared?"
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😊: "I'll kill this loving son of mine before he says a word."
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML

A father's warmth quietly replaced the teasing.
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father

Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father

Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML

Anshika Singh Shekhawat/ML's Mother
*laughed softly.*
Before she could say anything...
A familiar voice echoed through the hall.
Devansh Singh Shekhawat/ML
😗: "Leave my Maa alone, old man."
Both immediately looked towards the staircase.
Devansh had changed into a simple white shirt and black trousers.
His sleeves were casually folded.
Seeing his son...
Shakti sighed dramatically.
Shakti Singh Shekhawat/ML's Father
😮💨: "Kabaab mein haddi."
