The moment Nitya slipped and fell into the lake, Siddhant's panic level shot up to the skies. He was well aware that the perfect Nitya was a complete novice when it came to swimming!
He freaked out and was rooted to the spot, unable to decide what to do next, when he heard Nitya's call for help.
"Somebody help, I don't know how to swim!!"
'Yes he knew that; how did the silly girl think he didn't know that! But...the lake...the lake was deep, and it was not easy to come out of the water because of its slippery corners. Yes he was very good at swimming, but was he willing to risk his life in order to save her-'
Out of nowhere, a voice echoed inside him, carrying a reminder.
"She had saved your life once, maybe you can repay her this one time and after that whatever you want will be yours-"
No, no! Don't be a fool, Siddhant- he reminded himself, trying to coax some sense into himself in the face of this risky, yet lucrative possibility.
