Siddhant wasn't able to recognise the place he currently was in! The path he had been following ended abruptly in an unpaved mud trail, and all around, a dense foliage of trees cast dark shadows that blocked out the already hazy sunlight of a winter evening.
It had been more than five years since he had been living in this city, and he was well familiar with routes on a normal day. But he was completely in a panicked state after knowing that he was being chased, and his instincts had led him to someplace unknown.
'Although he had wanted to save her, after what his anger had already compelled him to do...after that, he was sure that she would definitely be panicking and screaming in her nightmares, and speaking everything out loud- and in that case, her brothers wouldn't let him live!
So it was better to leave her there and save himself first- after all, aren't you supposed to put on your own oxygen mask first?'
