"Call the doctor and tell him, I want him alive in any circumstances" I announced and was about to leave when he decided to speak finally.

"I'll tell you everything just pls leave me"

"Speak"

"It was Jindal, who ordered that. He wanted your company in losses."

"That fucking bastard"

I exited the room,running my fingers in my hair.

"Rub alcohol on his cuts and till tomorrow I need all the evidence. Am I clear?"

"Yes sir"

"Come in"

"Sir, this is for you and also the information you asked for," Aarav said, handing me the Dior PR box.

"There was nothing much I could find but you remember Akshat's elder brother. It's probably related to him."

I need her to trust me. To know that I'm here by her side always.

"I knew you would be here," Ashrut said entering.

"Did you find out who it was?"

"It was Jindal" Aarav replied

"I knew it, that motherfucker" he remarked.

"Sir, I'll leave now" Aarav said, signalling me to ask him for the truth

"Kuch puchna hai kya?" Ashrut asked

Not liking to beat around the bush I directly questioned making him freeze for a min "Why did Vanya react like that on the engagement day when she saw blood?"

Ashrut calmly said, "I have no right to say that."

'About Akshat's elder brother' I said, reminding myself.

I once heard Ashrut talking about him. What was his name?

"Are you too going for the Dior event?" he said, making me come out of my thoughts.

"Is that even a question to ask?"

"Then she will be accompanying you. Waise bhi it's not safe for her to be alone"

'He always wants to keep her in his company,' my subconscious mind mocked .

"Yeah, no doubt I will keep her with me always." I said more like the last word to myself.

"Huh?" He asked amusingly

"Nothing", I said.

THE NEXT NIGHT

"Sab rakh liya? Waha phir kuch ulta na ho jaye" mumma asked,making me double check my list.

(Did you keep everything? Then again nothing can go wrong)

"Ruhi ko bataya na tune" Akshat bhaiya asked entering my room which was messed as usual before any event, shoot or a trip.

(Did you tell Ruhi)

"Haa bhai, why take tension when Vanya is here?"

(Yes brother, why take tension when Vanya is here?)
