"Bhaiya?" She called but Shivaay had made a beeline towards his room once he had exited his car. She rushed behind him, there is no way she is letting this go.

"Do you have any idea what you did a few hours ago?" Priyanka asked as she grabbed Shivaay's arm to stop him.

He stopped and turned around to face her. "No! You don't have a fucking idea! You don't know the extent of fear I felt when I saw you coming out of those flames!" She glared at him.

"What were you even thinking going head straight into those flames?" She argued.

"I—" he started.

"No! You weren't thinking! You went back to the raging fire knowing full well what happened with you in the past!"

"——that is the problem isn't it?! I don't remember what happened!" And Priyanka froze.

"I don't even have the slightest idea about what happened to me and what I had done to them!" He spoke.

"Priyanka. Shivaay. Please, this is not the time to argue." Aradhya tried to interrupt before the fight blew out of proportion.

"Do you have any idea? How lost I used to feel? The nightmares kept tormenting me every single night——sometimes they grew unbearable and sometimes I had to bear them in silence!"

Priyanka's glare deepened.

"What else was I to do?"

"Guys! Enough!" Aradhya stopped them.

Shivaay ran a hand through his hair, his hands reaching for his phone. He was frustrated.

He grabbed the keys of the car and walked out of the door. Khanna immediately following him behind.

"Where are you going?" Priyanka asked her eyes narrowing.

"Out." Shivaay called over his shoulder, causing her to shake her head in disappointment.

"Make sure Mishra is there in my cabin, the first tomorrow." Shivaay spoke. Khanna nodded briefly, he could tell Shivaay was beyond pissed.

"I am..." Gauri wiped her tears. "The image——It was so horrifying. The fire—" she trailed off. For a moment she didn't speak anything. Just tried to calm herself down. To clear what she was trying to say.
