“ Rishabh !! ” I glared at him as he smiled “ Yes it's me, missed me? ”
“ In  curses” I mumbled.
One of my old business partner aka ex friend.

“ Not sure about you Adi, but Adhya  really missed me ”
He extended his hand towards my daughter but I stepped back “ Get your hands back ” I warned.
He took his hand back with a slight laugh “ Okay!! ”
“ I am just here to have talk with you!! ” he said casually, pocketing his hands.

Talk ,my foot!! He is here to beg me to help him after whatever he has done.
I feel so ashamed to say that he used to be my friend.
“ Sorry but right now I have a lot on my plate rather than talking to you, maybe next time” saying that I opened the door of back seat before making Adhya sit. I was about to close the door when she spoke

“ Dadda, are you behaving rudely with your friend? ”
I sighed at her words.
“ I am not being rude, but we don't have time baby!! ” I said fixing her clothes and shut the door before looking back at him who was looking at Anshika now.

“ You didn't invite me to your wedding, not a good thing Adi… .. ”

“ and damn man you are so lucky to get a wife like this, I mean people try so hard to shut their wives but look at you, your second wife can't speak, means less efforts, no boring talks, no wasting time!! ” he laughed.
That's not even funny.
“ And now compare her to your first wife, she was such an annoying and talkative man. Couldn't shut her mouth for a bit, everytime Adi listen to me, Adi I want to talk to you, Adi this Adi that ”

“ I mean aisi wife ho to use raaste se hataane mein kaisi sharam ” he laughed, I don't think what I did to him was enough.
“ Myself Rishabh, Aditya's close friend ” he said extending his hand towards her.

Anshika glared at him in disgust looked at me with ‘are you serious’ look.
She ignored him by walking on the other side of car. As she sat beside Adhya I again shifted my eyes to the man in front of me.

“ I didn't tolerated you joking on my wife even when we were friends, what made you think I would find them funny now “
“ We are still friends!! “
“ Who said that” I scoffed, get over it I am not going to… … . ”

“ Adi, please human make mistakes and I am human too, I did everything out of jealousy ”

“friendship ends the instant you get jealous over your friends ” I stepped forward to threaten him.
“ You followed me, don't you dare to do it again ”

“you don't have a right to destroy my career because of small thing”
I rolled my eyes at him , he is killing my mood.

“I am getting bankrupt ever since you filed a fraud case against me ”

“ That's not my problem , Rishabh ” I said sternly staring at him “ That's bold of you to expect help from me, and you should have think about this before stabbing on my back ”
I turned towards the door of my car “ Excuse me!! ”

We were already at the restaurant. I assured Anshika already that I will explain that guy to her once we are home. She didn't ask further.

“ Were you two fighting?”
“ No baby!! ”
I said wiping sauce from Adhya's lip corner with a tissue. It's the third time I am doing this.
Kids… .
It's only us, me and baby because her honey went to the washroom.

“ But that uncle was your friend and you behaved so rudely with him!! ” she said offering me a spoonful of her noodles.
I took that bite, it was pretty small according to me.
“ Because he wasn't my friend, he was pretending to be my friend, and one day he just pushed me in problem, so we are no more friends ”

Her face turned sad as she put the spoon down “ Just like me and Piyush!! ”
I frown, is that something related to the reason she was crying this morning.
“ Who's Piyush!! ”
Her eyes turned red and her nose crunched as she cried “ Piyush is really mean dadda!! ”
She started rubbing her eyes with her hands.

This is the chance, she will tell me everything now, if I follow the flow.
I lifted her and made her sit on my lap. “ Baby, who is this Piyush and why are you crying?? ” I asked softly .
Her hiccups are heavy, I just want to know the reason for her sadness, that's it.
“ He was my friend in school ”
“ Was?? “
She nodded and said, rubbing her eyes harshly.
But before some days when some of my classmates hurted me.
There was a girl who pushed me on the floor, she snatched my erasers and my friend didn't help me!!! ”
My blood boiled not at the fact her friend didn't support her but at the fact someone hurted my princess

“ That's the only thing?? ”
She shook her head as no “ From the next day he wasn't talking to me, even he also started hurting me , every day they used to snatch my stuff and that's why I got angry dadda and… … . ”
“ And?? ”
“ You won't scold me, right?? ”
“ Never!! ” I assured her.
“ They used to think I can't do anything, that's why they were hurting me but I am a weak dadda and yesterday I beat them!!! ” she said sadly.
“ You what?? ”
“ I beat them!! ” she said looking down, that's my girl. You can't let someone take disadvantage of your calmness.
I rubbed her back to assure her but her next words made me angry “ And my teacher punished me for that, yesterday she had slapped my back because I beat some students but she didn't punish them for stealing my things.
“ Because that girl was principal's family member ”
“ Your back?? ” I immediately removed my arm from her back, it must be hurting.
She is four years old damn it, how dare someone hurt my daughter , so that teacher and principal is the main problem. Their whole system is a problem , their school is the problem.
Just the idea of someone touching my daughter is enough for me to lose my cool.
“ Does it still hurt?? ” I asked softly “ No ”
Her no doesn't matter.
Someone touched her, it matters.
I wiped her tear “ Princess, stay aware of the kids like that Piyush, and why would I scold you, they hurted that's why you hurted them, always remember defence is the first thing to do besides any morals and manners, no matter what and from the next time , tell me everything, everything!! ” I engulfed her in my embrace.
“ You are not going to that school now”

In fact no one is going to that school again.

“ Don't tell this to honey!! ”
“ Why?? Have I done something wrong to hide?? ”
“ No baby, it's just she would be worried about you, you don't want to make her sad, right? ”
“ Hmm” she hummed cutely.

Anshika
I was going towards the washroom and the time I was in front of the door a tall man excited, making me flinch.
What the heck.
He is coming from inside, that's a woman's restroom damn it. How did he enter there, doesn't he know manners?
“ I am really sorry, miss!! ” he said politely , and I got another shock when I saw the woman just coming behind him.
Now what the hell is Sara doing here.
She frowned at first but smiled “ Anshu? What are you doing here?
Okay, she visiting the same restaurant as me at the same time must be a coincidence , that's not shocking for me.
But a man inside the ladies restroom in front of her eyes is hard to digest.
She would have beat a shit out of him as I know.
“ You know her??  I cocked my eyebrows as the man asked her.
Means he know her?
“ Yeah!! ” she laughed nervously “ This is my best friend, I told you na?? ”
“ Hmm”
“ Anshu, he is my boss!! ”
Trailer.
The fuck.
The boss she always used to bitch about. Is she serious??
With him??
“ I will be waiting for you outside!! ” he walked out from there brushing his finger on her arm.

Ok!! That's not something casual, that's not what a boss do, that's something what boyfriend does.
And she didn't tell me about it.
I glared at her.
She cupped my chin and kissed my cheek “ Baby, please don't get angry, I will tell you everything, everything, but I need to go, we have an important meeting to attend.
“ Don't get mad, please don't get mad!! ” she showed me her puppy eyes and kissed my other cheek.
Stop buttering bitch, you are doomed.
I am going to murder you for sure.
“ Let's meet tomorrow ” she said in convincing tone before running away from there, in the same direction where her so called boss went.
