okie let's dive into the story
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Sighs while adjusting her spectacles, placing the heavy stack of exam papers on the dining table*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Another exhausting day at the university... *Muttering to herself while rubbing her temples*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Steps out of the kitchen holding a hot mug of coffee, unbuttoning his police uniform shirt at the collar*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
You overwork yourself every single day, Anu *Soft tone while placing the mug right in front of her*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Looks up with a weak smile, blowing on the hot steam* Thank you, shiv... You didn't have to make coffee. You just came back from a night shift, didn't you? *Concerned tone*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Leans against the table, his sharp dark eyes studying her face intently* Taking care of you is never a chore. You know that. *Gaze softening slightly*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Gaze strays to the faint, jagged scar on shiv's left hand*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
(the dark, cold rooms of 'Shanti Orphanage', the sound of a cane hitting the floor, a fifteen year old shiv shielding a ten year old Ananya from the warden's wrath while blood dripped from his palm)
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*In a quiet voice*
Do you still remember... the oath we made behind the old banyan tree at the orphanage? *Traces the table edge*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*His expression instantly hardens, his eyes darkening with intense emotion* I haven't forgotten a single drop of blood we spilled that night, Anu. *Cold, serious tone*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
I swore to protect you from the world, and you swore to never leave my side. *Steps closer to her chair*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
We were just scared kids back then, shiv... Look at us now. We bought this house together, you’re an ACP, and I'm a lecturer. We made it out. *Trying to lighten the mood with a nervous laugh*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Reaches out and gently, yet firmly, places his hand over hers* Nothing changed, Anu. You took care of my wounds back then... and now I keep the world from touching you. *Squeezes her hand gently*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Looks at his grip, feeling a strange heaviness in her chest* (Why does his protection feel less like friendship these days... and more like a cage?)
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Ah, shiv... Speaking of the university, something unexpected happened today. *Clears her throat, pulling her hand back softly*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Eyes narrow slightly at her gesture* What happened? *Tone dropping into an authoritative, sharp pitch*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Rohan... I mean, Professor Rohan from the History Department... *Hesitates, biting her lower lip*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Crosses his arms over his chest, standing straight* What about him? *Cold tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
He... he asked me out today. In fact, he talked about a formal marriage proposal. He said his family wanted to meet me. *Looking down at her papers*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
..................
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Looks up nervously*
shiv?
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Clutches the edge of the dining table so tightly his knuckles turn stark white* A marriage proposal? *Unreadable expression*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Fidgeting with her pen*
Well, yes... I am twenty six now, shiv. I can't stay single forever. Rohan is nice, well settled, and---
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Slams his palm on the table, making the coffee cup rattle violently*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Flinches in shock, staring at him with wide eyes* S-shiv?
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Takes two swift steps around the table, towering over her chair, shadow completely engulfing her* Nice? Well settled? *Dark chuckle escapes his throat*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
You think some random professor can take care of you? You think anyone in this world can guard you the way I do? *Gazing down at her with fiery eyes*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stammers, pushing herself back against the chair* shiv, why are you getting so angry?! He's just a colleague! It’s normal for people to move on, get married, start a family----
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Grips both arms of her chair, leaning down until his face is inches from hers* You are NOT getting married to him. *Dangerous whisper*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Heart beating frantically against her ribs* You can't decide that for me! You are my best friend, shiv, not my owner! *Tears brimming in her eyes*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Reaches out with his hand, thumb pressing against her lower lip, tracing it with dark possessiveness* Best friend? *Smirks darkly*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
I bled for you when we were ten. I took bullets in the police force, so I could build a safe home for us. You think I did all of that just to hand you over to another man? *deep voice*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Trembles under his touch, breath hitching* You're scaring me, shiv... *Whispers*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*His tone softens slightly seeing her tears, but his eyes remain pitch black with obsession* Shh... Don't be scared of me, Anu. I am your shield. *Leans in closer, forehead resting against hers*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
I’ll handle Professor Rohan tomorrow. You don't have to worry about his proposal ever again. *Chilly smile*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
What... what do you mean handle him? shiv, what are you going to do?! *Panicked tone*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Stands up straight, casually fixing his police badge on his chest* Just a official police verification, sweetheart. After all, a police officer must protect his most precious possession from unwanted pests... *Turns his back and walks toward his room*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stares at his retreating back in sheer shock, clutching her chest as her heart races* ( What have you become, shiv...? Or were you always this dark... and I was just too blind to see it? )

Okie let's dive into the story
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Pacing back and forth in the university staff room, holding a cold cup of tea in her trembling hands*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
( Why hasn't Rohan come to the department yet? It’s already past eleven... Did shiv really do something to him? )
[ Flashback: to earlier that morning at their home ]
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
shiv, please promise me you won't do anything reckless... Rohan is just a colleague! *Looking at him pleadingly while he tied his police belt*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Adjusting his holster calmly, looking into the mirror with a cold, unreadable expression*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
I told you, Anu. I'm just going to have a quiet chat with him. A police officer keeping an eye on the citizens... that's all. *Gently patting her cheek before walking out*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Snaps back to reality as the heavy door of the staff room suddenly creaks open*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Rohan! *Quickly walks up to him, relief washing over her face*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Freezes near the entrance, his face pale and eyes wide with visible anxiety*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Takes an automatic step backward, maintaining distance* A-Ananya... Good morning. *Gulp, his voice shaky*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Notices his pale face and nervous demeanor, her eyebrows furrowing with concern*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Rohan, are you alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. And why were you so late today? *Reaches out her hand toward his arm*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Quickly pulls his arm back, avoiding her touch entirely* Don't! *Panic in his tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*eyes widen slightly because of rohan's behaviour*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
I mean... please don't come too close, Ananya. I... I was delayed due to some personal work. *Looks around nervously as if someone is watching them*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Stares at him in utter disbelief* Rohan, what happened to you? Yesterday you were talking about meeting your parents, and today you can't even look me in the eye? *Hurt tone*
[ Flashback : An hour ago outside the campus cafeteria ]
A stark black police SUV pulled up beside him. ACP Shivender Rathore stepped out in full uniform, towering over him with terrifying dark eyes
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Leaned against the car hood, crossing his arms with a sharp, lethal smirk*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Professor Rohan Verma... I heard you’re taking a very keen interest in my Ananya. *Low, chilling voice*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Confused and intimidated* ACP Rathore? Ananya... she mentioned you're her childhood friend and flatmate. I just proposed to her properly----
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Stepped forward, putting a heavy, iron like hand on Rohan's shoulder, squeezing just enough to send a clear message*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Let me correct your vocabulary, Professor. She isn't just my friend. Leaning down, *whispering in a dark, possessive tone*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
She belongs to me. She was mine in that dark orphanage, she is mine today, and she will be my future wife. Anyone who tries to come between us... regrets it deeply. *Eyes dark with absolute possession*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Sweating profusely, trembling under shiv's suffocating aura*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Patted Rohan's shoulder smoothly, fixing his collar* I'm sure an educated man like you understands boundaries, right? Stay away from her. For your own peace of mind. *Smirked darkly before driving away*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Rohan's memory shatters as Ananya calls his name again*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Rohan! Talk to me! Did shiv say something to you?! *Demanding tone*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Sweat dripping down his forehead, wiping it hastily* N-No! ACP Rathore didn't say anything bad! He was just... doing his duty. *Bites his lip*
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
Ananya, please forget about yesterday. I realized I made a mistake. We are just colleagues, and it should strictly stay that way. *Formal, distant tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stunned, her voice breaking* A mistake...? Rohan, he threatened you, didn't he?! Tell me the truth!
Rohan Verma [ fl colleague]
*Gathers his file hurriedly, refusing to make eye contact* I have a lecture to attend. Excuse me, Dr. Sharma. *Quickly turns around and walks out, almost running away from her*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stands frozen in the middle of the room, her chest heaving with deep anger and confusion*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Clenches her fists tightly* shiv... how could you do this to me?! *Tears of frustration threatening to fall*
[Scene Change: That Evening at Their Apartment]
Ananya was Sitting on the sofa in the dimly lit living room, waiting. The front door unlocks, and Shivender steps in, carrying a box of her favorite sweets
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Notices her sitting in the dark, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he switches on the light*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Anu? Why are you sitting in the dark? Look what I brought for you your favorite gulab jamuns from the old shop. *Soft, caring voice*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stands up abruptly, ignoring the sweet box completely* What did you say to Rohan today, shiv?! *Voice trembling *
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*His smile slowly fades, placing the sweet box on the side table* I told you, Anu. I just gave him a friendly warning to stay in his limits. *Calm, unbothered tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Steps up to him, looking straight into his intense eyes* Friendly warning?! He was terrified of me today! He called our proposal a mistake and ran away like I was poison! You ruined my life today, shiv! *Tears spilling over her cheeks*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*His eyes flash with a dark mix of tenderness and dangerous obsession at her tears*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Reaches out, his large hand cupping her cheek, wiping her tear with his thumb* I didn't ruin your life, Anu... I protected it. That coward wasn't worthy of standing beside you anyway. *Deep whisper*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Tries to push his hand away, but he doesn't budge, his grip firm yet gentle* Who are you to decide who is worthy of me?! You are my friend! You took an oath to protect me, not to control me! *Sobbing*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Leans down slowly, his gaze locking onto her lips before looking back into her tear filled eyes* That blood oath bound us together forever, Anu. You gave me your care, and I gave you my life. *Possessive tone*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Call it protection, call it control... but no other man will ever claim what is mine. You belong here, with me. *Softly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Gasping for breath, her heart hammering wildly against her chest, trapped in his intense gaze*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
( He isn't hurting me... but this possessive warmth is scarier than any threat... How do I escape this dark web he's woven around me?)

Okie let's dive into the story
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stares at Shiv's possessive smile, her body trembling with a mixture of anger, hurt, and suffocating fear*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Pushes his heavy chest back with both hands, stepping out of his reach* :
No... No, shiv! Enough is enough! You don't own me, and I can't live like this anymore! *Voice trembling*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*His smile fades instantly, his hands freezing in mid air* Anu... What are you saying? *Low, cautious tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Marches toward the bedroom, pulling out a large suitcase from the closet and tossing it onto the bed*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
I'm leaving, shiv. I can't stay in this house with you anymore! Every breath I take here feels suffocating! *Unzipping the bag frantically, grabbing her clothes from the wardrobe*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Follows her into the room with swift steps, his posture stiffening as he sees her packing*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Grips the edge of the wardrobe door, his voice strained* Stop packing, Anu. You aren't going anywhere. This is our home. We built this together. *Voice panicking yet dangerous*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Wipes the tears streaming down her cheeks, throwing her clothes into the suitcase without looking at him*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
It was our home when you were my best friend! Now you're just a dictator manipulating my life, threatening anyone who comes near me! I’m moving into the university hostel tonight! *Voice cracking with emotion*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Stares at her hands frantically packing... his dark, imposing aura suddenly shattering*
Shivender's breathing starts to turns ragged. Slowly, the ruthless ACP vanishes, replaced by a vulnerable, desperate boy
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Reaches out and softly catches her wrist, his fingers trembling violently against her skin* P-Please... Anu, don't do this... *Voice cracking*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stops, stunned by the sudden weakness in his voice, looking up at him* shiv...? *Gasp*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Tears well up in his dark eyes, spilling over his sharp cheekbones as his shoulders sink in absolute defeat*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Falls down to his knees right in front of her, clutching her hands in his, burying his face against her knees*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Sobbing quietly, his whole frame shaking* Don't leave me, Anu... Please... If you leave, I will have no one left in this world... *Choked, desperate tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stands frozen, her heart tearing apart at the sight of the strong, ruthless man breaking down completely on the floor*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
S-shiv... get up! What are you doing?! Her voice softening *instinctively, trying to pull him up*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Looks up at her with red, tear stained eyes, his expression filled with raw agony and self hatred* I know I’m selfish! *Sobbing*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
I know I'm crazy, Anu! But look at me... Who else do I have in this entire world besides you?! When the warden beat us in that dark room, it was you who wiped my blood! When the world treated me like trash, you were the only one who looked at me with love! *voice breaking with Description*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Tears pour down her own eyes as the painful memories of their tragic childhood flood her mind*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Cupping her trembling hands, pressing them against his chest right over his hammering heart*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
I can't share you with anyone... I see other men looking at you, and it drives me out of my mind because you are my only light in this pitch black life! If you leave me... I’ll lose my sanity, Anu... I’ll be destroyed... *Choked laugh amidst tears*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Bites her lip hard, feeling a crushing weight of guilt and love for the boy who bled to shield her*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
shiv... you can't force a relationship like this... friendship is different from love... * voice Soft yet broken voice*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Looks up into her eyes with desperate, pleading eyes, clutching her hands as if she were his only lifeline*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Then give me one chance, Anu! Just one single chance! *Begging tone*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Blinks through her tears* What...?
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Let me date you properly. Just give me one chance to show you a future together... as man and woman, not just childhood friends. *Gasping for breath*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
If... if after that chance you still feel I’m just a cage for you... I swear on my life, I will step back. I will leave this house myself and never show you my face again. Just one chance, Anu... Please... *Wiping his tears frantically*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Stares down at him, her heart completely melting seeing him beg like a helpless child*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
(He built his whole life around me... how can I throw him away when he's willing to try for my happiness?)
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*Lets out a shaky, deep breath, wiping her eyes before cupping his face* Okay... *Softly*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
Anu...? *shocked*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Just one chance, shiv. We will try to date properly... But you have to promise to respect my space and control your temper. No more threats to anyone. *Gentle yet firm tone*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*A look of immense relief washes over his tear streaked face* I promise! I promise, Anu! Thank you... thank you so much... * letting Soft sob out*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Pulls himself up from the floor, immediately wrapping his long, strong arms around her waist, pulling her flush against his chest*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
*slowly Rests her head against his neck, wrapping her arms around him, softly patting his back to comfort him*
Ananya Sharma [ FL ]
Shh... stop crying now. I’m not going anywhere... *Whispering softly into his shoulder*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Rests his chin on her shoulder, his arms locking around her like impenetrable steel cuffs*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Over her shoulder, where she cannot see his face,The vulnerability completely vanishes, replaced by a dark, triumphant spark on his tears struck face*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
*Slowly, a chilling, sinister smile spreads across his sharp lips as he buries his face deeper into her hair*
Shivender Rathore [ ML ]
( One chance is all I needed, my sweet Anu... Now that you've agreed to step into my trap, I will never, ever let you go... )
