[Scene: The Warehouse – No Way Out]

Vedant and Pranavi rushed towards the door as the strong wind howled outside. A loud BANG! echoed through the warehouse, and the door slammed shut, refusing to budge.

Pranavi quickly grabbed the handle, trying to push it open. "Why isn’t it opening?" Her voice was filled with frustration.

Vedant stepped forward without a word and shoved the door forcefully, but it didn’t even move. "Useless," he muttered under his breath.

Then, without warning—

⚡THUD!!⚡

Vedant kicked the door hard in anger. The impact echoed inside the warehouse, but the door remained firmly shut.

Pranavi shot him an annoyed glare. "Calm down! Let me try."

Vedant smirked slightly and gestured towards the door. "Be my guest, Ms. Rai."

Irritated, Pranavi grabbed the handle and tried twisting and pulling it, but nothing happened. Frustrated, she slammed her palm against the door. "This stupid door! What’s its problem?!"

Vedant chuckled sarcastically. "Calm down, Ms. Rai."

Pranavi glared at him. "How are we supposed to get out now?"

Vedant casually put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "Simple. We break it."

"Oh, really?" she scoffed. "Great! So now I have to think about where I got stuck? With YOU?"

Vedant, full of attitude, shot back, "Correction. You’re not the one stuck. I am. I followed you, remember?"

🔥 That was it. He had officially pissed her off. 🔥

"Okay, fine! What do we do now?" Pranavi huffed, running a hand through her hair.

They both started searching around the warehouse for another exit, but every door was jammed shut.

Vedant pulled out his phone and called his manager, but as soon as he looked at the screen—NO NETWORK.

He clenched his jaw. "Useless network. Of course, it won’t work when I need it."

Pranavi sighed, already expecting this. "Try again?"

Vedant gripped his phone tightly, but then the screen flashed—LOW BATTERY 2%—and before he could react, the phone shut down.

🔥 And just like that, their last hope was gone. 🔥

Furious, Vedant threw his phone against the wall.

"Give me your phone," he ordered, turning towards Pranavi.

Pranavi bent down, picked up her phone, and held it up with a sarcastic smile. "Well… you already broke it."

Vedant frowned. "When did I break it?"

Pranavi crossed her arms. "When you grabbed me and pushed me against the wall earlier, my phone slipped from my hand and fell."

Vedant blinked for a moment, processing her words. Then, frustrated, he kicked a nearby table, making it crash against the floor. "Shit!"

🔥 They had no other option now. 🔥

[Scene: A Battle for Comfort]

They started looking for a place to sit or sleep.

There was an old broken bed in one corner—half-broken, dirty, and covered in dust. On the other side, there was a single armchair, just as old and uncomfortable.

Vedant casually glanced at the bed and said, "I’ll sleep here."

Pranavi immediately objected. "No! I’ll sleep there."

Vedant raised an eyebrow. "You? On this bed? Seriously?"

"Yeah, so? Any problem?" she challenged.

"Yeah, big problem! Do you always need the best spot?"

They started arguing.

🔥 But Pranavi was stubborn. 🔥

Without another word, she lay down on the bed, making it clear she wasn’t moving. Vedant clenched his jaw and sat down on the armchair.

But the way he sat—it was like she had offended him personally.

And the most irritating part? He was staring at her.

Pranavi closed her eyes, trying to ignore him, but she could feel his burning gaze.

"What’s your problem?" she snapped, sitting up.

Vedant leaned back, crossing his arms. "Are you able to sleep?"

Pranavi groaned in frustration, got up, and walked over to him. "Go. Sleep on the bed."

Vedant smirked. "Why, Ms. Rai? You worried about me now?"

🔥 Oh, he was enjoying this way too much. 🔥

Pranavi stepped closer, looking straight into his eyes. "Just go."

Vedant held her gaze for a moment before smirking and finally standing up. He walked over to the bed and lay down.

Pranavi sat down on the armchair, adjusting her dress and trying to get comfortable.

For a while, the only sound in the warehouse was the rain.

Slowly, both of them fell asleep.
