Aap Koun Hai? PT 1

The Allegations🙀

"What did you do? " I blurt.

He pursues his bottom lip at my tone and nods again like he was the all knower.

"What do you mean by what? " he doesn't answer my question.

With the support of his cane, he wobbles his way to one of our rounded wooden tables, sinking his back in the chair . He leans his cane on the table, stretching his arms, making himself home.
Anger zips through my arms like a sudden electric shock , but when I open my mouth to speak it lodges in my throat .

His eyes flick to us and he points his head to the table, giving us the permission to sit.

I falter on my step on whether I should listen, but this man has far too much against me for me to go against him. And that thought only ignites the fiery charges in me.

I march up, heavy footsteps thumping on the floor, Amara following behind. I drag my chair back and fall in my seat, my eye contact with him unwavering.

Amara sheepishly sits down next to me
His eyes snap to her and instantly brightened
"Hey you are Dev's daughter!"

She smiles a little and then he turns to me "You told her?

I flit between them, reluctant to answer but it's obvious "Yes"

He nods slowly, even from here I can see him grinding his teeth,and clutch onto the table.

"She knew about my secret before you did and she's kept it safe, she'll keep this secret safe as well. For me at least" I quickly add

He nods his head slowly still unimpressed,

"You better not dare do this again-"

"Just tell me what you did"

He raises a brow

"Haven't you seen that photo yet?"

I furrow my face "T-the meme?"

He swats his hand "No the other photo, taken later"
I lean in, positioning myself close enough to examine him and emphasize my seriousness. "We haven-t seen anything we have been working on here all day"

He screws his eyes, shifting them between me and Amara before showing me the photo on his phone.

It was today at college, after I spilled the drink on Vihaan's shirt. The camera zoomed in when Vihaan was tilting my chin up with that menacing glare but something was off...he looked-he looked more like he was choking me..... But he wasn't. When he scrolled down to the comments I realized that that was what everyone thought as well.

The first person that came to my mind on who had done this was Sai. Like the picture before, but he would never do something so serious as this, that could tarnish someone's reputation. Especially not Vihaan's.

"I did it-well one of my men did" he says, swiping away the phone.
"You were barely doing anything so-"

"It's been one day-"

"So I decided to give you a push"

"How exactly is this going to help me other than make him hate me more?"

He sighs, averting my question and, rome's eyes around the room , on everything except for us.

"I am getting hungry...what do you have that is good here"

Amara tenses, she had just been listening quietly , but his sudden question had frightened her

"The Jalebis are my favorite" she blurts

"Really" he turns to her "Go pack me 2 dozen of them. .... please"

She turns to me looking for approval, on any day I wouldn't allow her, but I know he doesn't want her listening to the conversation and I can't disagree right now.
