In the library

Shakti Agnihotri : Shourya....

Shourya : I am here....what happened?

Shakti Agnihotri was surprised to see Pakki . They both were reading books.

Shakti Agnihotri : ( anger to smile) Ohh..Pakki...How are you doing? Is everything okay?

Pakki : Yes.... Uncle....I am good.

Shakti Agnihotri : I am so happy to see both of you together....

Pakki : (looking at Shourya) Haa...

Shourya : I won't think...this was....what you were thinking.

Shakti Agnihotri : Pakki...Can you bring water to me ?

Pakki : Yes Uncle. (Got up from chair)

Shourya : (held her hand) Did I say you to leave?

Pakki : No....but Uncle said...

Shakti Agnihotri : What are you doing Shourya? Leave her hand.

Shourya : (glared at his father) I know what I am doing.....

Pakki : Shourya....my hand...

Shourya : (tightly) You are only allowed to obey my words..not others. Remember clearly .(let her hand free)

Pakki went out of the library. (Pakki didn't cry this time.....she controlled her emotions)

Shakti Agnihotri :(angrily)why are you behaving like this with her ? You are scaring her.

Shourya :How was your trip ?

Shakti Agnihotri : I must be the one to ask you that.....right.

Shourya : So you know where I went and what I did with her?

Shakti Agnihotri : You think I am unaware......I know everything.

Shourya : (laughing) Not bad.....I thought I had eliminated all the informers....But I was wrong.

Shakti Agnihotri : (angrily) Shourya....You are crossing the limits. Don't touch my people.

Shourya : Same goes to you too. (walked from there) Haa...I heard you met with your girlfriend. How is she ?

Shakti Agnihotri : Don't you know...

Shourya remained silent.

Shakti Agnihotri : I know everything....it was all your plan right....in order to keep me away from the mansion.

.
But why are you going to such a extent ?

Shourya : None of your concern.

Shakti Agnihotri : why are you behaving like this ?Are you doing this for Pakki? But Pakki....she won't go anywhere. She will be by your side. Believe me.

Shourya : I only believe myself. So Don't meddle with what I am doing. (went to read a book)

Shakti Agnihotri : Shourya...

Shourya : Patralekha....Eavesdropping is a rude thing.

Pakki was shocked. Earlier,She bought water and was about to enter the room but suddenly she heard her name so she started to listen to their conversation.

Pakki went inside. She gave water to Shakti Agnihotri and went to her seat. Shakti Agnihotri didn't speak further. He just drank the water and went out.

Shourya : (looking at Pakki) How much did you hear ?

Pakki : (anxiously) I didn't hear anything.

Shourya : You think...I don't know... what is going on..in this little head ?

Pakki : (in her mind) Why did Uncle mention that I won't leave Shourya's side ?

Shourya : Patralekha....

Pakki : Haa...

Shourya : Don't think too much....(Patted her head) just follow me and listen to...only me... Understood.

Pakki : (looking into his eyes) Yes.

They both continued reading.

There was something...which was attracting Pakki towards Shourya. Whenever he looks at her....talks to her...she feels like she wants more of it.She actually felt very comfortable and safe beside him.
