Aarya and Aarav made their way to the school with the children, across the street in Indore. Upon arrival, Aarya focused her attention to the children, making sure she appeared calm.
The children were kindly warned by Aarav to avoid leaving their class or talking to strangers, in a gentle manner.
"They all said "Yes, uncle Aarav" in unison, except Pooja.
""I am sorry about yesterday," Pooja said with a glum look on her face.
"Don't worry, I'm here today and it's not your fault," Aarya's reassuring smile accompanied her words.
Upon seeing Aarya's smile, Pooja responded with a half-smile of her own.
"Head to your classes, Aarav and I will be here waiting," Aarya said as she dismissed them to their classes.
The children walked hand in hand towards the gate, where they turned and waved. Aarav and Aarya returned the wave with smiles.
Aarya tracked them with her gaze as they entered the school and disappeared from view.
Aarav's hand was clasped around hers as she shifted her gaze towards him. He flashed a confident smile and asked, "Why don't you tell me about Indore?" Hoping to take her mind off her worries.
"Mumbai is much better than Indore," she admitted.
"I won't argue with that," he firmly stated.
With a look, Aarya questioned his confidence, saying "You're quite confident, aren't you?"
He said, "You said so yourself, don't look at me that way,"
Aarya couldn't help but laugh.
Within the school, a gunshot was suddenly heard, followed by screams of horror and the sound of running feet.
"The children..." Aarya exclaimed and ran into the school and saw students running out of a classroom, while adults were going in. She suspected that the gunshots came from inside the school, so she slid herself inside.
Upon entering the class, a man was near a girl lying unconscious on the floor, her uniform has blood all over it, and another man was in conversation with him when she caught sight of them.
Fear was creeping inside her, Aarya was shaken to the core as she had never seen anything as horrifying as this.
In what way was the man able to shoot the girl? She looked out the window and saw an evidence of a bullet hole in the glass. The other school building was visible in the distance, she concluded that the shot was fired from its roof. She hoped the individual responsible would be caught.
Her eyes returned to the horrifying sight, She noticed a female student was squatting near the unconscious girl who was lifted by the male now, and she assumed they were taking her to the hospital. As the female student turned, she realized it was Pooja.
