Since many of my readers prefer english  so I will be posting in English.

It's been a week since the tragic event. Lakshmi and shalu have moved in their new apartment which lakshmi won. Rishi has started avoiding lakshmi since that day . Ayush had met lakshmi and shalu frequently and rishi had kept a track on their activities through jackie but he his tried best to avoid lakshmi and shalu especially lakshmi.

RAGE's Mansion.

Person on Call: what on earth is taking u so long? Kill her friend , torture her the evidence will be ours why are you being so soft for no good reason.

Rage: u don't need to tell me what to do.... I have checked her status she has been under police safety radar if she suddenly goes missing u would be the first person to get in trouble.

PERSON:I need to...

RAGE INTERRUPTS : OKAY I WILL GET BACK TO U AS SOON AS THE WORK IS DONE AND PLEASE DON'T CALL AGAIN..

Rage  sighs and sits on his side chair that looked no less than a thrown. His phone buzzed again he looked at the screen and kept his phone on the side table. And he lit his cigar

Ayush entered his room: bhai why are u not picking up her call I am so sick of giving her excuses. I had to leave the export check work and attend her calls it's been a week brother.

Rage: Ayush I have much more better things to do. Please leave don't trouble me.

Ayush: okay then answer me will u even ignore her on her house warming party?

Rage: what party?

Ayush: shalu called me to invite both of us for their house warming party.

Rage: tell them I am busy.

Ayush was petrified: whyyyyy.... Whyyy are u ignoring her  since the day she's was troubled by that man in the club..

Rage stood up: shut up ayush..

Ayush: bhai I have been noticing u since the day u saw her in tears I don't feel u are the same person u don't talk to her but make sure that she reaches home safely through jackie. Why ? If u are concerned then let her know it too she will be happy..

Rishi( Rage) :I am not supposed to worry for her happiness or sadness ayush.. I am Rage and I don't care about anyone. But u know the day I saw her in the club injured, hurt , crying. I felt something I should never ever feel.. I felt weak and helpless ayush. I felt I should burn the world if that could heal her. I stayed in the hospital with her and when she hugged me I felt I can never ever put this girl in trouble.....

Ayush looked at his brother.

Rishi: but am I not the one who will kill her one day. We are just waiting for her to be out of the safety radar and then we will get all the evidence against ballu and that all. Lakshmi's chapter will be over.

Ayush: bhai... Are you..... Are you in love?

Rage shouted: shutttt the hell up ayush. No no no I don't love her it's just an attachment with that stupid girl. There is no such thing as love for me. Only power matters.

Ayush :but.

Rishi: there's no if or but. ..ask Jackie to follow her and secretly try to invade her house for evidence.

Ayush: fine. But I will surely go to that party. U might not care for her but I do care for their feeling. They hardly know anyone in this city and after the incident that occurred in the night club I won't take a risk by leaving them alone.

Lakshmi's apartment.

Shalu: di.. Ayush will join us..

Lakshmi: what about Rishi?

Shalu:he is still busy with his stray animal camp in ooty so he won't be able to join us

Everyone arrived at the party shalu and Lakshmi were overjoyed  to see him.

Lakshmi: where's rishi?

Ayush: he had his flight so he left for the airport.

Lakshmi disappointed: oh ......okie... Yess.

Everyone enjoyed the party while Lakshmi was standing in the balcony.

Lakshmi's PoV.
Shalu had told me before hand about Rishi's busy schedule but I thought maybe he still had sometime or he might take out some time for me. It's been a week since we spoke maybe he is trying to distance himself from me after the night club tragedy. Or I am overthinking. I just don't know what to do I feel like running away back to Punjab where my life was much easier but then I remembered there's nothing left for me there after my parents left. I can feel tears in my eyes. I quickly wiped them I didn't want to catch anyone's attention.

Pov ends

Suddenly there's a knock on the door. Shalu welcomes the person and runs to call lakshmi.

Shalu: Di doctor rishi is here.

Lakshmi's heart fluttered but the feeling soon faded when they saw him with another girl.

Shalu: (awkwardly) welcome Rishi.. Who's this girl.. ? I mean her intro..

Rishi: Meet my girlfriend Malishka.

Malishka: hello everyone.

Lakshmi stood there she was too stunned to speak.

Rishi's Pov.

I looked at her breaking apart seeing Malishka's hands in mine. I never wanted to do this and that too with this irritating malishka but I didn't had any other option. I don't want my attachment to grow further for Lakshmi and neither do I want her to get attached with me. I have been too nice with her but now I will make sure she hates me because of my actions so it's easier for me to kill her after I get the evidence.

Pov ends.

Lakshmi smiles: hmm so she's the reason why u ignored three of us (shalu, ayush, Lakshmi) for the whole week.

Rishi: u caught me..

Lakshmi : welcome malishka. Enjoy yourself.
Although u are an unwelcomed and unexpected guest but still. ........ What guys? That's just a joke..

Everyone laughed awkwardly.
