Chapter 29
"He tried to kill my mom, Sarika! Don't you get it?" I scream.
Sarika stops speaking and stays calmly on her chair. Daksh who's also sitting on the table says, "Calm down Niks. We'll sort your love life only if you're calm."
"There is no love life." My vision is blurry due to tears, and Shanaya puts a hand on my shoulder.
"There is. We have to sort this whole thing out. You both need to talk." Avni says, "Communication is the key."
"How am I supposed to talk to someone who tried to kill my mother?" I ask.
I'm fucking furious, at everything, at our situation. Why could we not have normal parents with normal problems?
"Niki.." Sarika starts, but Daksh interrupts, "You will talk to him. Try to understand why he did that."
"Why are you even here?" I ask Daksh, "I called for an all girls meeting."
"You require advice, so I'm here. And if at anytime you want me to annihilate Sidhant, you can tell me."
"Do you have that kind of.. power?" Sarika asks him, confused.
"Just because I almost died earlier this year, doesn't mean I'm powerless, sweetheart." He replies.
Sarika looks around to check if Ravi is around. Luckily, he didn't hear.
"You'll die if you keep calling these girls sweet names. Their boyfriends are dangerous." Avni tells him.
Daksh shrugs, as if he doesn't care. Something about him changed over the past few months.
He lives freely, dangerously.
"Back to the point. Nikita and Sidhant, and their parents and the murders and attempted murder." Shanaya says.
"There's nothing to talk about. I need some comfort, that's it. Then I'll try to get over hi-"
"We tried that last time you guys had a fight, did not work." Daksh quips up.
"Fuck you."
"No thanks, I'm fucking someone else at the moment. I'll ring you up if I need this offer-"
Sariks hits him on the head with her hand, and he smiles.
"Who are you fucking?" Shanaya asks.
I know who. But I don't answer and think about other things, like what I should do now.
I can not forgive an attempted murder on my mom, and he hasn't even said sorry.
"Secret." Daksh smiles.
"I want to know who's fucking someone like you." Shanaya says.
"Me." Shravan appears from nowhere and smiles at the table.
Daksh looks at him with a bored expression, the change in the atmosphere clearly noticeable.
Gone is the fun loving cool Daksh.
"Who is it actually?" Shanaya asks. She thought it was a joke.
"It is me." Shravan says with a shrug then looks at me, "Can we talk?"
"What do you want to talk to her about?" Daksh asks.
"None of your damn business." Shravan tells Daksh and with his eyes asks me to follow him.
"I'll go talk then." I tell the table, while everyone is staring at Daksh, waiting for an explanation, who is glaring at Shravan.

"What do you want to talk about?" I ask.
"Naturally, Sidhant." He says.
"What is there to talk about? I hate him." I say.
"You don't." Shravan replies simply.
"Well, he hates my mom. So I hate him. It's that simple."
"He doesn't hate your mom either."
"He tried to kill her because he likes her?"
"No. He hated her before. Now he knows why she did what she did, he doesn't hate her anymore."
"But he doesn't love me enough to spare someone's life for me." I say.
Shravan frowns, "He never wanted to kill your mom, you know how he doesn't ever miss a shot, right? So, subconsciously he didn't want to."
"Doesn't matter. That incident, it scared the fuck out of me. How can I live with someone who tried to do that?" I say.
Shravan sighs and says, "I'll leave it up to both of you to decide if you want to prioritize the past or the future."
