Niya was cooking in the kitchen, and Aryan was in his room doing some work when a doorbell rang. She wiped her hands and went to open the door.

"Here we are," Danish, Isha, and Kiaan were standing on the door, but their smiles dropped looking at the person who opened the door.

They ignored her and went inside.

She closed the door and was going to the kitchen when she heard the footsteps. She looked up. Aryan was coming downstairs. He was already looking at her with an emotionless face.

She averted her gaze after looking at him.

"Hey, buddy," Kiaan waved at me.

He smiled, came, and sat beside them.

"So, what's the plan for today?" He asked them.

"Our friend is always busy, and he doesn't even get time to meet us, so we thought to meet him today," Isha said, rolling his eyes.

"No, Isha, nothing like that," he tried to deny.

"Yeah, whatever."

"I am coming. I want water," Danish said, getting up from there.

Niya was cutting the veggies when she heard footsteps. Thinking may be it was Aryan, she ignored.

Danish just gave her a glance and took one water bottle from the fridge and drank the water.

After cutting the veggies, she was going to keep it on the gas when she felt lightheaded, and she lost the balance, making half of the veggies fall on the floor. And she was about to fall, but before she fell, Danish ran and caught her.

"Hey, are you ok?" He asked.

She was looking very tired.

She immediately tried to free herself from his hold.

"Hmm," she nodded, not looking at him, and kept the remaining veggies on the kitchen counter.

She started getting a headache. She clutched her head tightly.

"What happened?" Danish asked her, looking at her with confusion.

"No-Nothing," she said, and ran from there.

She ran toward her room and took one pain relief tablet.

She thought she should get a little sleep to rest her head.

Danish was confused.

What happened to her? Why did she run like that?

Is something wrong with her? But why should I get worried about her?

"That's just her act," he told himself, and he went back to his friends.

She woke up with a jolt when someone threw water on her.

She was panting heavily. She wiped her face and looked at the person who did that thing to her.

Isha was standing there with a bucket.

"What behaviour is this, Isha?" She asked, gritting her teeth.

"Oh madam, who will make food for us?" Isha asked, smirking at her.

She glanced at the clock. It was past 12:30 p.m.

"I think you forgot the duty of the maid."

Niya ignored her and got up to go to the kitchen.

While going downstairs, she saw them sitting and talking there.
