Yash's POV
" hey, Yash "
" Drishti ? Are you okay ? " she is sweating and looks like she is scared ?
" yes- yes yes, I am fine " she said breathing heavily, she is not fine.
" So, you read books I guess "
" huh? what "
" books, I mean you have a book in your hand and is in a book store. I thought you like reading "
" oh-oh - oh, about that I do try to read sometimes " she said looking everywhere but me, something is definitely wrong and I don't think I should question her more about it
" So, you have any plans for now ? " I asked her a bit hesitant
" not really "
" there is a cafe upstairs, wanna have some coffee ?"
" sure " we went up to the cafe and ordered food for us, she seemed a bit calm now.
" It's surprising to see you here " she said
" why so ?"
" why not ? A man that too in a suit is at a book store is not normal "
" It's a compliment or a comment ? "
" whatever fits you ! " she said
" reading calms me down and they have the best cheese cake "
" that's nice, so what do you read usually ? what genre ? "
" nothing in particular, depends on my mood "
" really ? Oh no, you read romance novels secretly, don't you ?" she said with a teasing smile on her face.
" no, I don't "
" of course, you do ! It's okay Yash, you are just one of the naughty readers " she said giggling this time.
" naughty ? I thought, I was cute ? " Adithi couldn't hold up her excitement and spilled the beans off
" wh-at ? "
" yes, thanks for the compliment " I replied back, her cheeks red and eyes filled with embarrassment.
" I am gonna kill your sister " she mumbled trying to focus only on her drink.
" Drishti " she looked up
" You are ---- " I was interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing.
" It's an important call " I said getting up.
// // // // // //
" I am sorry, there is an emergency I have to go " I said
" It's okay Yash, I understand " she said
" It was fun, we should do this more "
" we should and next time no Important calls preferably " she said
" yes mam " I said bowing my head at her, making her laugh
" and Yash thanks " she said her expressions a bit serious now.
" for ? "
" for today, for not questioning me more. " she said
" It's okay Drishti, everyone has a bad day " I said waving the topic off

Dhruv's POV
" Profession ?"
" Doctor, I thought you already knew " Rahul replied
" working at ?" I said ignoring his reply.
" Adithi Hospitals "
" Any link with the people related to us "
" no "
" past connections ? "
" none "
" Anymore information that I should know about her ? "
" not really, but If want to. You know, she is really sweet and cool, her whole family stays in Delhi, she has a really pretty friend named Kiara and she loves dogs -"
" I asked you to do a background check on her, not her personal life data, Rahul "
" yes yes, I know this because she told me and she is innocent boss, no need to worry " he said shrugging his shoulders
" We can't trust anyone Rahul, with an unknown threat and the CBI behind us " Nischay said entering inside the room, we are in my office at Arck.
" okay, I get it. I will avoid her If I find her suspicious "
" good and I think we got the deal " I said making both of them looking at me
" you need to stop the suspense and tell us everything boss " Rahul said
" I got a message from an unknown number yesterday and the number matches the number Nischay brought " I said
" this means you'll be heading to Kolkata in 3 months " Rahul said
" yes and before that we should find who did that to our house and do something with the CBI. I don't want any conflicts when am in Kolkata, that meeting in Kolkata should go as we planned it. " I said making them nod.
// // // // // //
" the Madians are being an pain in ass " Rahul said sighing stuffing food in his mouth. 'Madians' is a gang, who are trying to 'destroy' us according to them.
" let them be, we have bigger and important problems right now, Rahul. they barely are affecting anything" Nischay said
" why don't we have some fun with those ants " I said
" fun ? we have BIGGER problems boss" Rahul said mocking Nischay
" let's divert the CBI "
" got it, this is going to be fun "
" madians are dumb, CBI will complete the case in 3 months boss" Nischay said shaking his head.
" that's what we want Nischay, once I am done in Kolkata, it will be a piece of cake for us to keep the CBI in our control "
" okay, what is the plan "
// // // // // //
" no maa " I said to my mom on the phone
" At least give it a chance Dhruv, meet her once " she tried convincing me
" how many times maa ? how many times should I explain ? I can't marry anyone and put their life in danger, I can't. you know that "
" It's all my fault, when you took all the responsibilities that day, I should have stopped you "
" We can't always argue on the same matter, maa "
" Having someone by your side can never be your weakness Dhruv. You will have a reason to get back home. Safely. A reason to leave all this behind and a reason to be alive. Think about it, Dhruv" she said and cut the call.
'It will always be a weakness, just like what happened to you and dad' I wanted to answer her back but couldn't, bringing him up would make the situation more worse like it always does.
