his only obsession

chapter :4

Tarun's heart was pounding. He quickly pushed open the door to the ward where Aditya had been moved after the operation.*

> *Tarun's breath caught as he entered. The scene before him was horrifying—Aditya had the nurse by the throat, lifting her into the air. The nurse's face had turned blue, her legs kicking in the air. And Aditya... there was a murderous passion in his eyes, as if he were holding a corpse in his hands.

> *At first, Tarun froze for a moment, his heart in his throat, at the terrifying sight. But the next, he snapped out of it and rushed at Aditya like a storm, grabbing his iron-clad arm and freeing the nurse from his venomous grasp.*

> *Tarun screamed, "Adi! Have you gone crazy? Why are you killing her? Let her go!"*

> *There was silence in response. Aditya slowly turned his face. His eyes were redder than blood, blazing like embers. He looked at Tarun as if he were the one to be hunted now. For a moment, deathly silence fell over the entire ward.*

The moment the nurse let go of his grip, she fell to the ground like a severed moth, clutching her throat and coughing up a death rattle. She couldn't breathe at all.

Aditya gave her a cold look, then turned to Tarun and said with a completely psychotic smile,

> *and whispered - "Shh... Tarun, you know my rule... any girl who gets close to me, touches me... I absolutely can't tolerate it. I don't leave them alive... I squeeze the life out of them. You know that better than anyone. And yet this girl, she came all the way to my bed... trying to seduce me. So tell me... she had to die, right?"*

*Flashback - 6 AM*

*It was 6 AM. On a bench outside the ward, Tarun had fallen into a deep sleep while sitting there. The entire hospital was busy with its work.*

*Just then, a nurse, whose shift was to check on patients in the early morning, came out of Aditya's ward.*

*Outside the ward, two burly guards in black suits stood with their arms crossed. Seeing their red eyes and dangerous looks, the nurse was completely terrified; her hands started to shake with the file.*

He said, trembling, "I-I have to go inside to check on the patient..."

*A guard glared and said,*

*The nurse flinched back in fear, then said, "But the morning check-up is important,

*The two guards looked at each other. Thinking about the treatment for their boss, Aditya, one guard quietly opened the door and said, "Just 2 minutes. Don't make a sound."*

*As soon as the nurse reached out to check Aditya, her gaze froze on his face and wouldn't leave. The boy lying on the bed... so handsome he took your breath away. It was as if God had taken all his time creating that one face, leaving not a single flaw.*

*His hair was absolutely perfect—neither too long nor too short, with a few strands gently falling across his forehead. His skin was a flawless, marble-like white. Even after being shot and lying unconscious in the hospital, his face looked every bit like that of a Greek god. * *✨

A pointed nose, a sharp jawline, and his closed eyes... hidden beneath thick eyelashes, like a deep ocean.

The nurse had forgotten all about her checkup upon seeing him. Her heart began to beat rapidly.

*The nurse's heart was out of her control. With trembling hands, she slowly reached out to touch Aditya's face...*

*Her finger was about to touch his cheek...*

*And then... Aditya's eyes snapped open with a jolt.*

*Completely red, like embers. Bloodshot veins were clearly visible in his eyes. As his gaze fell on the nurse standing so close to his face, his eyes filled with blood. A primal rage.*

*The nurse's life flashed before her eyes. A heart-wrenching scream escaped her lips...*

*"AAAAAAHHHH...!!!"*

*Her scream was so powerful that it made the hospital walls tremble.*

*The young man sleeping on a bench outside nearly fell over, startled, and both guards quickly pulled out their guns.*

*End flashback.

*Just then, the ward door flew open and all the guards rushed in.*

Tarun glanced at the nurse and ordered the guards, "Pick this girl up and throw her out. Now."

Upon hearing this, the guard at the front, William, stepped forward.

*He bowed his head before Tarun and spoke in a low, menacing voice—*

*"Yes, Sir..."*

*At that single word, silence fell over the entire ward.*

*After they took the nurse away, the ward fell silent. The only sound was the beeping of Aditya's machine.*

*Tarun watched Aditya for a moment... seeing his face, his closed eyes, and his condition, Tarun's eyes filled with tears.*

*And then he couldn't hold himself back; he rushed over and hugged him.*

*His voice was trembling, and his eyes were filled with tears...*

Hearing this, a crooked smile appeared on Aditya's lips.

He slowly walked to the window, and Tarun followed him.

Just then, Aditya said without turning, "A lion has to build its own den to hunt..."

*And then a completely mysterious smile... one that even Tarun couldn't figure out what he was thinking.*

"You're okay, Adi...

*A deathly silence fell over the ward... so much so that you could even hear the sound of breathing.*

*As soon as Tarun moved away from Aditya, Aditya slowly turned his head and looked at him.*

*Looking at him, no one would ever guess he was injured... there was more terror in his eyes than death itself.*

*He said in a cold, deep voice—*

"Playing with death is just a child's play for him...

And then... a devilish smile.

Just then, something came to mind and his face turned completely serious.

He looked Aditya in the eyes and asked, "Adi... why did you get yourself attacked? Why?"*

And as he said this, Tarun too became slightly angry. His fists clenched and his voice grew deep.

Hearing this, a dangerous, crooked smile appeared on Aditya's face.

He didn't say anything, just walked slowly over to the window. Tarun followed him.

Just then, looking out the window, Aditya said in a cold voice—

"To hunt a lion, you have to make yourself look wounded..."

And then he turned around and gave a mysterious smile... a smile that froze Tarun's eyes on the spot.

Just as Tarun was about to say something...

A voice came from behind.

It was probably the guards.

Just then, a guard opened the door, came in, and bowing, said, "Boss, the doctor is here... she's asking to come in. What should I do?"

The moment he heard the guard, Aditya suddenly fell silent... He got lost in deep thought, his crooked smile now gone.*

*Seeing this, Tarun answered, "Let her in."*

*The guard said, "Yes, sir," and bowed his head and left.

*As soon as the guard left, the door opened again.

*In walked a woman in a white coat—Dr. Ruhaanika. Her hair was slightly disheveled, her face showed fatigue, and deep lines of worry were etched on her forehead.*

Her face was tired, yet her beauty was undiminished. If anything, her exhaustion made her even more beautiful, like an angel from the heavens had descended to earth.

But as soon as she entered, her restless eyes went straight to... Tarun, standing before her.

*"Doctor, you..." Before Tarun could say anything, Ruhaanika spoke up.

"There was a lot of noise outside. Everyone was saying something had happened here, then I saw your guards rudely dragging a nurse outside."

She took a deep breath, her voice trembling—half anger, half fear.

"Is everything okay here?"

*Before Tarun could even move his lips, a voice from behind cut through the air of the entire room.*

A voice filled with stubbornness and madness—*

*Aditya's.

*His eyes hadn't left her for a single moment since Ruhanika had stepped into the room. He was staring at her like a predator eyeing its prey, a strange madness in his eyes and that same twisted, dangerous smile on his lips.*

*Silence fell over the room.

*A shiver ran through Tarun and Ruhaanika at the sound of that voice.

A shiver that went right to the bone.*

*Ruhanika's heart raced, and she looked ahead with trembling eyes—

*Aditya was staring right at her, his face rigid, and with that same mad passion. A passion that was not love, but obsession.* A shiver ran through both Tarun and Ruhanika at the sound of that voice.

A shiver that went right to the bones.

Ruhanika's heart pounded faster, and she looked ahead with trembling eyes—

*Aditya was staring at her, his face hard, and he had that same madness from yesterday. A madness that was like a obsession.

*Before Tarun could say anything, a deep, heavy voice came from behind.

*"So, the doctor lady finally remembered about us."*

*Aditya walked slowly around behind Tarun and came to stand in front of Rohanika. His gaze had been fixed on her from the very beginning.*

*He stopped in front of Rohanika and said with a very strange, crazed smile,*

"I just gave that girl what she deserved."

And with that, he smiled softly, in a completely deranged way.
