4. Bound Again

Myra landed in Udaipur with her Pipi. As the door of her private jet opened, her eyes immediately fell on the two people standing outside waiting for her- Aarav and her dadu. The moment she saw them, her lips curved into a wide smile while emotions flickered in her eyes. It had been so long since she had felt this warmth.

"Dadu!" Holding Pipi carefully in her arms, she hurried toward them without caring about her heels or the security guards following behind her. Aarav chuckled softly before opening his arms. "There comes our drama queen," he teased. But before he could say anything else, Myra crashed into him in a tight hug while Pipi squealed happily between them.

Her dadu shook his head lovingly, though his eyes clearly reflected how much he had missed her. "My baccha..." he murmured emotionally. The moment Myra pulled away from Aarav, she immediately hugged her dadu next, resting her head against his chest like a little child who had finally returned home. For the first time in days... her heart felt at peace.

She broke down completely, burying herself in his chest while tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. Her dadu immediately wrapped his arms around her protectively, gently stroking her hair as if trying to comfort every pain she had been hiding inside her heart.

"I am not going back there again" Her voice cracked painfully as she clutched her dadu's shirt tightly, trembling in his arms. "I can't do it anymore" Tears continued falling endlessly while she buried her face deeper into his chest, as if trying to escape every memory haunting her.

Aarav's expression darkened instantly. He tightened his hold around her protectively while his jaw clenched in anger. "No one will force you now," he said softly, gently kissing her forehead. "Not while I am here."

Myra quickly wiped her tears before stepping back slightly. "Alright... meet my Pipi," she said, trying to change the emotional atmosphere. She carefully lifted the tiny baby penguin in her arms toward them. The little penguin blinked innocently before tilting its small head adorably, making Aarav stare in shock for a second.

"A penguin?" he burst out laughing. Myra pouted immediately. "She is not just a penguin. She is my daughter." Dadu chuckled softly while gently patting Pipi's tiny head. "Very dangerous family indeed," he said dramatically. "Now even penguins are becoming Singhanias." Pipi happily flapped her tiny wings as if proudly accepting her new family.

"Now... let's go home," Dadu said warmly. Myra's eyes softened at those words. Home. A place she had been craving without even realizing it. Holding Pipi carefully against her chest, she nodded silently before walking beside Aarav and Dadu. As they moved toward the convoy waiting outside the private airport, the cool Udaipur breeze brushed against her face gently. For the first time in a long while... Myra finally felt safe.

"It's quite cold here... though not as cold as Amsterdam," Myra said while adjusting Pipi carefully in her arms. Then she suddenly looked at her dadu suspiciously. "Dadu... did you prepare a specialized room for my Pipi?" Aarav immediately burst out laughing. "Look at her priorities. Madam came back after ages and the first concern is her penguin." Myra glared at him instantly. "She is sensitive, okay?" Dadu smiled helplessly before nodding proudly.

"Of course I did. Temperature-controlled room, mini ice pool, special fish storage... everything your princess needs." Myra gasped dramatically. "Dadu! I love you." Meanwhile, Pipi happily squeaked in her arms as if approving the arrangement herself.

While Myra tried to lose herself in the warmth of her family, her eyes unknowingly kept searching around again and again. Somewhere deep inside. she had thought he would be here. Waiting for her. Watching her silently like always. But he wasn't. And strangely, that hurt more than she wanted to admit.

Her fingers tightened slightly around Pipi while disappointment settled heavily inside her heart. Why was she still expecting him?

 While Myra tried to lose herself in the warmth of her family, her eyes unknowingly kept searching around again and again. Somewhere deep inside, she had truly believed he would be here—waiting for her, watching her silently like always. But he wasn't. She laughed at Aarav's teasing, smiled at Dadu's concern, and pampered Pipi, yet her heart refused to settle. Again and again, her gaze drifted toward the window of her car as if expecting Agastya to suddenly appear with those intense dark eyes fixed only on her. 

After everything that had happened, she hated herself for still waiting for him. Maybe a foolish part of her had believed he would stop her from leaving. But he didn't... and somehow, his absence hurt far more than his anger ever had.

Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere shattered when several black cars surrounded their convoy from all directions. Before anyone could understand what was happening—

Bang!

Bang!

Gunshots exploded through the air. Bullets slammed against the armored vehicles while the guards immediately pulled out their weapons. "Protect Dadu!" Aarav shouted furiously. Myra's breath hitched in fear as she instinctively clutched Pipi tightly against her chest while the car came to a sudden halt. More gunshots echoed outside.

The sound of shattering glass, screaming tires, and shouting guards filled the entire road within seconds. Myra's heart started pounding violently. Something felt terribly wrong.

 But slowly Aarav and Myra realized something. The bullets were not aimed at them. None of the shots were targeting Dadu's car directly. None of the attackers were trying to kill anyone. Instead, the black cars were strategically forcing the convoy to stop.

A dangerous silence suddenly settled inside her heart. And then— ne of the car doors opened. Heavy black boots touched the ground. Myra's breath instantly got stuck in her throat.

Agastya.

Dressed entirely in black, he stood there like destruction itself while smoke from the gunfire surrounded him dangerously. His dark eyes held only one emotion. Possession. He wasn't here to hurt them. He was here for her. Only her.

Myra's heart started pounding violently as Agastya slowly walked toward her car with terrifying calmness. The moment Aarav stepped forward angrily, dozens of armed men immediately pointed their guns toward him, forcing the guards to freeze.

"Agastya!" Aarav roared furiously. But Agastya's eyes never left Myra. Not even for a second. There was rage in them. Possession. And something dangerously broken. He opened the car door himself before staring directly at her trembling figure.

"Get out." His deep voice carried a deadly warning. Myra instinctively clutched Pipi closer. "I am not coming with you," she whispered stubbornly despite her fear. For a second, complete silence surrounded them. Then Agastya suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her out forcefully against his chest.

Myra gasped in shock while struggling immediately. "Leave me!" But his hold only tightened. "You already left once," he said darkly near her ear. "I won't allow it again."

"Don't you dare touch her, Agastya!" Aarav roared before charging toward him in pure rage. The moment he saw Myra struggling in Agastya's grip, all his patience shattered completely. He grabbed Agastya by the collar and punched him hard across the face.

Myra gasped loudly. "Bhai!" Agastya staggered slightly before slowly looking back at Aarav with dangerously dark eyes. Then he punched Aarav back just as brutally. Within seconds, the two men started fighting violently in the middle of the road while armed guards surrounded them cautiously.

arav attacked him again furiously. "You think you can force her?!" Punch. "You think she is some object you can take away?!" Another punch. Agastya wiped the blood from the corner of his lips before violently pushing Aarav against the car. "She is mine," he growled possessively.

"And no one can keep her away from me." Myra stood frozen while tightly holding Pipi against her chest as both men continued destroying each other because of her.

Agastya's patience finally snapped. "Hold them." His cold command echoed dangerously through the road. Within seconds, his men moved forward instantly. Several armed guards tightly restrained Aarav despite his violent struggle while others surrounded Dadu and the Singhania security team, forcing them at gunpoint to stop interfering.

"Leave me!" Aarav roared furiously while trying to break free. "You bastard! Don't touch her!" But the men only tightened their grip around him. Dadu's face darkened with anger as he stepped forward. "Agastya... this is crossing your limits."

Agastya slowly turned toward him, his expression calm yet terrifying. "With all due respect, Dadu sa... today nobody will stop me from taking her." hen his eyes shifted back to Myra.

Dark.

Possessive.

Unstable.

"Come willingly, Myra," he said quietly. "Because if I lose control now... things will become very ugly." "No! Agastya, leave me!" Myra protested angrily while stepping back, but before she could escape, he suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her effortlessly into his arms. 

She gasped in shock and immediately started struggling against him, hitting his chest repeatedly while tightly holding the frightened Pipi close to herself. "Put me down!" she shouted, but Agastya's grip only tightened possessively around her. Behind them, Aarav roared furiously while trying to break free from the men restraining him, and Dadu's helpless anger filled the tense atmosphere. 

Yet Agastya never stopped walking. His face remained cold and dangerously calm as he carried her toward the black car waiting for them. Myra's eyes burned with tears while she continued resisting him desperately. "Please... let me go..." she whispered painfully. For a brief second, his steps slowed as pain flickered across his face, but it disappeared just as quickly. "Too late, princess," he murmured darkly before placing her inside the car and taking her away with him.

"At least let me give Pipi to them," Myra pleaded while struggling lightly in his arms. "She needs proper care, Agastya..." Agastya looked down at the frightened baby penguin pressed against her chest before his expression darkened slightly. "You think I didn't prepare for her?" he asked quietly.

Myra froze.

"The temperature-controlled room is already ready. Ice pool, medical care, special food... everything," he said while walking toward the car without stopping. "Your Pipi will be treated like royalty." Myra stared at him speechlessly. Even in the middle of all this chaos... he had thought about Pipi. Agastya opened the car door before carefully making sure Pipi remained safe in her arms. "I came prepared to take both of you back," he murmured darkly while looking directly into her eyes.
