"I lost a friend
Like keys in a sofa
Like a wallet in the back seat
Like ice in the summer heat"
📌 Special Force Headquarters,Delhi
"What's wrong?"Nitin asked as Anaya walked into the elevators.
He have known her for more than a decade to sense when something's wrong.
"Nothing" she replied almost breaking the ground floor's button as she pressed it.
"If it's about Mir I -"
"Don't"
Nitin rose his hands in surrender as she sighed resting her back against the elevator wall.
"I thought you didn't want to work with government"he says, still surprised how Anaya even got ready for this job.
"Unfortunately,misogny exist and being a woman I suffer "
Nitin lightly chuckled looking at her.
"Or you could just admit you love your father"
"Ah, I forgot you are my father's bestfriend before my mentor"she grunted as the elevator doors opened.
"Tell Mir I said hi"Nitin said walking out.
Anaya crossed her arms ,rolling her eyes as she followed him.

📌 Aditi's House
"Are you okay?"Neil asked red - eyed as he engulfed Anaya in a hug.
"Never been better"she whispered as Neil tightened his hold on her.
"Anaya"a little boy screamed as Neil let her go.
"What is he doing here?"Neil asked wiping his tears.
"She meant just as much to him "
"He's a kid"Neil said as the little boy entwined his fingers through Anaya's hands looking up at Neil.
"Adi" Neil sighed.
"Son"the priest said walking up to him.
"Take care of her"he whispered to his niece,patting his head as he went away.
Anaya clutched Aditya's hand tighter as he tugged on her shirt.
"Is it gonna hurt?"the boy asked.
"Really bad"Anaya said.
"If someone dies,do they never come back?"
"Never"
"Even if they want to? What'll she do in the clouds?She would get bored without us"the boy sighed as they moved through people to the place where Aditi's body was kept as the smell of lilies filled the backyard.
"You look nice"he says looking upto Anaya.
"What do you think?"Aditi asked pushing her glasses back.
"Pretty"Anaya scoffed,downing the whiskey.
"Very pretty"Aditi said pressing the black coord set against Anaya.
"If you die, I'll wear this to you and if I go first, wear this to me"she chuckled as Anaya scoffed.
"I don't wanna die boring"Anaya mimicked,pouring herself another glass.
"Absolutely"Aditi yells.
Anaya ran a hand down her black skirt.
