I swear on my father, there is some extreme pleasure in knowing that you have riled up your enemy so badly that he breaks out into fits of temper.

"Alaknanda!!!" I heard my dearest mamashree shout my name and make his way to my room in his house.

The door opened and he looked really annoyed.

"What did I tell you? Do not do anything that can make Virat doubt that you are alive." He told me.

I blew air on my recently painted nails.

"Matches with my outfit, doesn't it?" I asked. Maa sent me some clothes. Light blue loose-fitting denim, white shirt, a yellow jacket, and yellow sneakers. I showed him my blue-painted nails.

"Alaknanda, you cannot afford to let Virat think you are alive. He will leave no stone unturned to kill you again and you are still not prepared to take on him." He tried hard to make me understand.

"Mamashree, he doesn't know I'm alive at all. I just let loose some rats in his study room and they did a pretty good job of annoying the hell out of him." I chuckled applying a second coat of nail polish over my nails. "Also, you've got to tell Mami to buy some pink nail polish. Like she has several pink sarees but no matching nail polish."

"Alaknanda, I am serious. I'm talking about a serious matter right now."

"Yes, I understand but he doesn't know I'm alive. He's still thinking that I'm dead. Also, you seriously didn't believe that I will let him live peacefully, do you?" I stood up and walked up before mamashree, "He made a garland to be put on my photo while I'm here alive. I'm not my father's daughter if I don't make him regret the day he was born. If I can't kill him yet, I can still cause enough problems for him."

"What about the problems you will create for yourself in the way? I am telling you to keep your head down and stay in hiding but you attacked Aakram and destroyed Virat's study. Just for once follow what I'm saying."

I sighed and made him sit. "See, I have lots of respect for you. You are my mother's brother. You're my mama. You care for me by that association. Thinking of all of this, try to think from my point of view for once. That person killed me. He made my family suffer. Only I know how much my sister would have been distressed. Only I know how much Nana would blame himself. Only I know how much my father wishes to kill you for all the false promises you made to him."

"False?" He asked, surprised.

"You promised him that I would be safe and I would be alive. But Virat killed me. You seriously don't think that my father is still the same towards you, do you?"

"How do you know?" He asked.

"Well, I have my resources. You have yours. I like to keep mine a secret as you keep yours a secret."
