Rohan inquired, "Aren't your room's doors remotely controlled?"
I responded, "I'm not preoccupied with that; I'm confident he won't breach my room. But my concerns lie elsewhere. If he were to spot us, he might grow suspicious. We can't afford any risks."
I anxiously scrutinized my phone to ascertain if an unauthorized individual had entered my abode. My suspicions were confirmed when I observed him ascending the staircase that led to my room. I turned to Rohan and whispered, "It's undoubtedly Aryan. Please remain here; do not venture out. This room is equipped with air conditioning and all the luxuries. Relax, I'll extract you once he departs."
Rohan complied, saying, "Alright, I have no objections."
I discreetly accessed the concealed door, retreated to my room, and casually checked my phone.
Aryan knocked at my door.
I responded, "Enter, the doors are unlocked."
Aryan entered and called my name, "Sonakshi."
I feigned surprise, pretending to be oblivious to his arrival, "Oh, Aryan, what a pleasant surprise!"
Aryan expressed his concern, "I was genuinely worried about you today. You seemed very tense."
I reassured him, "I'm fine now, don't worry. It's a routine matter for me."
Aryan offered his assistance, "You can confide in me."
I declined, "No, it's not necessary. I can handle everything."
Aryan insisted, "If you ever need my help, I'll always be there."
He kissed my forehead and said, "It's okay, I understand you completely. I love and respect you for that. Goodbye, it's getting late."
I reciprocated, "Yes, I love you too," and he departed.
After Aryan left, I secured the door and proceeded to rescue Rohan.
Rohan emerged and exclaimed, "Thank goodness we're safe."
I was lost in thought, contemplating how a man could be such a convincing actor in matters of love. How could he seemingly harbor no feelings after all that had transpired between us? These thoughts consumed my mind.
Rohan reassured me, "Relax, Sona. I know what you're thinking. Take a deep breath. He won't pose a threat. I'll ensure he becomes an asset. Don't worry, Sona, just relax."
I was genuinely distraught by the situation. Rohan enveloped me in a comforting embrace and whispered, "It's alright, Sona. Retire to your bed, rest, and I need to leave as well. Good night, Sona."
I nodded, tears still lingering in my eyes, and replied, "Good night, Rohan."
With that, Rohan departed, and I retired to my room, the events of the evening weighing heavily on my mind.
