  The sound of a door banging woke me up. I woke up feeling disorientated by the unfamiliar surroundings. I know this is the third you're hearing the same thing from me - but honestly, I had no idea where I was. And no I'm not going crazy - well to be honest if I was I wouldn't be surprised with the number of shocks I'm getting within such a small time period! I mean normally you expect to wake up in the same place you had gone to bed right? Well here I was, opening my eyes lazily expecting to see Sheetal Di greeting me, but what do I actually get? A completely new room which I had never seen before.


Hey Devi Maiyya! What if those goons had somehow managed to kidnap me from that house?! Like those villains in those movies, where they use chloroform and then kidnap the girl and then-NO! "Hey Devi Maiyya! Raksha karna! Yeh sab sirf hamaari saathhi kyun horahaan hai? Aap humse naaraaz hai kya...? Lekin kal humne uss prashad banaadhi joh jum aapkeliye hamesha banaathe hain- toh phir kyun...? Uss prashadse bore ho gayi kya? Koi baath nahi - aglibaar hum aapkeliye khoobsaare jalebiyaan banaalenge! Lekin jo bhi ho, hume raksha karna Devi Maiyya! (Devi Maiyya! Please protect me! Why is all this only happening to me? Are you angry with me...? But I made you the same offerings (sweets) I always make you. Are you bored of it or something? No problem - next time I will make you tonnes of jalebis! But whatever the problem, please protect me Devi Maiyya!)"


I was still blabbering to my Devi Maiyya while still looking around, when I noticed a man standing with his back against the door of the room with fists clenched, head leaning on the door and his eyes closed in... pain?


Arnavji... As though he heard me calling him in my head, he opened his eyes that second and our eyes clashed.


For a second I saw desperation and pain in his caramel orbs. Those eyes were trying to seek solace within my own. He looked so agonised that I had a strong urge to get up and embrace him into my arms to take away all his sorrows. I felt like I could do anything at that moment to take away that distressed look on his face.


But all that only lasted for a split second, as his eyes went cold the next moment.


I didn't know whether I should or shouldn't ask about him - I mean after all, according to the facts he was just a police officer who has been assigned to save me. It's not like he has any feelings for me or I should have any feelings for him.


Even though I knew I should be keeping my distance I asked tentatively, "a-aap teek tho hain? (A-are you OK?)"


I didn't know whether or not I had asked a bad question because as soon as I had asked the question he looked dazed. And then all those emotions came back into his eyes again - the desperation, the agony, the pain. I watched the play of emotions on his face before they vanished as he visibly gulped, trying to suppress his feelings.


"Arnavji?" I repeated, pulling him out of his thoughts. "Aap teek tho hain na? (Are you OK?)" I asked again.


"Haan. Main teek hoon, (Yes. I'm OK,)" he replied with no emotions in his voice. "Tum kaise ho?(How are you?) I mean yesterday you had quite a lot of things to take in so you were quite shocked and you were struggling to come to terms with your situation. Are you OK now...?" he asked.
