Meanwhile
Anika got out of the doves' cage, and wiped her tears, only to find Hrithik sitting on the wooden bench in front of the wooden house and seeing her he stood and she smiled faintly
Anika: good morning (then she smiled a shivery smile ) I forgot to thank you for what you did with us, the room you asked the Prince for Gulab and you waiting for me in the corridor, thank you
Hrithik: no need for this, we are friends
Anika smiled: of course we are
Hrithik: Surbhi? I actually saw you crying so I came behind you, I didn't want to bother you but I was wondering if I can help you.
Anika looked at him for a moment then she nodded
Anika: you can (then she swallowed) I think Gulab wasn't injured in Guard's training
Hrithik eyes widened and swallowed as Anika shook her head with the tears renewing and crowding in her eyes
Anika: I think he is not telling me the truth (then she shook her head) I wanted to believe him so much, that this was an accident but I can't, if a person got hurt in casual training and it wasn't intentionally, they would have stopped the moment he got injured right? But this is not what happened with him Hrithik, his back has ugly wounds and horribly bruised, I don't think it is normal, someone kept hurt him as he was in pain and didn't stop
Hrithik eyes got crowded with tears and looked down as Anika put her hand on his shoulder and looked at him sympathetically
Anika: I trust you, you care for him so much I know, find the truth, find who did this to my husband and your best friend.
Hrithik looked at her and then he looked down and the sympathy in her face vanished and tears froze in her eyes
Anika: what?
Hrithik: forgive me Surbhi, I am so sorry
Anika: sorry for what? What you have to do with this, LOOK AT ME
Hrithik looked at her with teary eyes and she put her hand on his shoulder
Anika: look at me, if you are sorry because you made him a Guard and he got hurt don't feel guilty it is not...
Hrithik shook his head with teary eyes and Anika looked at him with teary shocked eyes
Anika: what you mean?
Arjun: PRINCE HRITHIK
Anika looked behind her and Arjun was approaching to them behind him Shivaay, she looked at Hrithik and he looked at her then walked towards Arjun and Shivaay, she looked at him as he joined Shivaay and Arjun and Shivaay looked at her then he looked down sadly and walked back to the palace with Arjun and Hrithik, she sat on the wooden bench almost sure that they are hiding horrible details about Shivaay's injury and that is when she heard a peep of a text message in Zaheer's phone, she held it and looked in it thinking it is a message from Shivaay but it was from Pari
" Zaheer, I heard from Ragini that you are asking about the night of Gulab's injury, I want to speak with you, when you have time come to the kitchen, I am working there today "
Anika without thinking ran to the kitchen through the door near the Garage, she opened the door widely and all the maids looked down
Anika: PARI
Pari flinched and her eyes and Ragini looked at Anika with faint confused frown then she approached her
Ragini: Princess Surbhi
