* Next day *
Aadhya and her team are all set for another Fashion week, on Sunday.
“ Wow! She looks angelic!" Hardik's mom exclaimed when she saw Aadhya on TV.
“ She always does!" Hardik giggled.
“ Actually aunt, we both want to ask you both something!" Vithika mumbled.
“ What?" Their moms wondered.
“ Question no. 1, why do I see change in your face colours, every time I or Vithika talk about our dads?" Hardik asked Vithika's mom.
“ Question no. 2, I clearly sensed that you were lying, when asked if you and Aadhya met earlier. Why do you have to lie? What's that secret?" Vithika asked Hardik's mom.
“ What if I say both are interlinked?" Hardik's mom sighed.
“ What?" Vithika's mom too is shocked.
“ Hardik...do you remember, when you and Aadhya were out on a evening, Aadhya was attacked?" Hardik's mom asked.
“ Yes, gun shots....I would never forget that day, my entire life. Wait, how do you know that?" Hardik mumbled while rest looked at them jaw dropped.
“ Because, those bullets weren't meant for Aadhya, but you!" She dropped a bomb.
“ What?" Hardik recollected how that hitman shot on side of car, facing him that day, “ Yeah...I remember....but why would anyone want to attack me....?"
“ That's what puzzled Aadhya too. When that hitman was caught, he told Aadhya that he was paid by some one to harm you. So, she came to asking if we had any conflicts with influential people." She said.
“ What?" Hardik recollected Aadhay's sudden trip.
“ Shit, I suspected Aadhya after that incident again. Damn Abia!" Vithika muttered.
“ Actually your father isn't martyred, fighting for country. He faked his loyalty, he was an informer. When he realised he might get caught, he faked his death and ran away. Only Vithika's dad knew that truth, rest of us all thought he was dead though. He didn't disclose in due respect to their friendship." She continued.
