"Kitna bachpana bhara hua hai usme, sapno ki duniya me rahti hai! koi kese pyar karega us se?"

Shivalika remembered those words, A sad chuckle escaped from her mouth, was she unhappy? No. Did it hurt her? Yes. The words didn't hurt her, but his silence did. He didn't stand for her when it was needed and it hurt her.

It was the Past but some memories never leave your mind even if you move on, Some words hit you hard, Some memories hit you hard.

"Why are you coming Mom Dad?"

"I already can't handle one, how will I handle them? And if they get to know about it then I and Yash will be gone!" She panicked.

"Why the hell am I thinking all this? I am already getting late for court" She asked herself while rearranging her files.

"Oh, Why God!! Why does it have to be always me? Saari panoti mere hi sar kyu?" She fake cried stumping her feet on the floor.

"And above all that marriage thing! NO!!!!! What should I do? Should I run away?" She stopped arranging and bit her nail in confusion

"Thode din k liye gayab ho jati hu! Han, it will be perfect!" She was talking to herself.

(I should disappear for a few days)

"Wow!" Shivalika heard a voice and it was none other than her dear brother Yash.

"What?" She asked

"Your Mom Dad is coming and You are running away--- wait You are going somewhere?" Yas asked looking at her dress.

"Kaala coat pahen k Fashion show main toh jaa nhi sakti, Of course Court, idiot. It's my case's third hearing" She told him while grabbing her purse and files.

(I can't go to a fashion show after wearing this black coat)

As Yash noticed she was in a hurry, He dropped the idea of talking to her right now.

"Go Safely" He told her, Shivalika frowned at his unusual behaviour but nodded not minding it right now, She was already late today after hearing the news of her parents' arrival.

TIME SKIP...

The courtroom buzzed with tension as Shivalika and Mr. Verma prepared to battle over a sensitive molestation case, this was the third hearing of this case and both didn't know how long it would take.

"Court is now in session for the case of Veer Raghuvanshi and Sameera Reddy, are you ready to proceed?"

"Yes, Your Honour." Shivalika stood up confidently

"Yes, Your Honour." Mr Verma also nodded.

"I would like to start with Ms. Sameera itself, Your Honour" As the judge granted the permission Shivalika approached the Sameera in the witness box, her demeanour calm yet commanding. She began her opening statement, She observed Sameera, today she didn't look hesitant, and the frowns on her forehead were missing like Last time.

"You look stress-free today!" She said, Sameera blinked her eyes multiple times in confusion.

"How are you, Miss Reddy? I hope you didn't take any kind of stress.. well looking at you I can say you are fit and fine, in fact you have gained some weight! That's nice!" Shivalika said, that Mr Verma, her opponent tried to calculate what she was trying to do.

"I asked something, Ms Reddy! When someone asks something, You should reply"

"I-I am fine!" Sameera replied

"Hmm, By the way.. do you like stories?" Shivalika asked, everyone looked at her in confusion, why was she talking nonsense?

"Never mind, everyone likes it!" Shivalika said and turned to the people sitting in the courtroom and then at the judge.
