"Mishti, if you have something of their's, return it" dadi spoke with warning in her voice. Do as I say. It was the hidden message of dadi for Mishti.

Mishti knew clearly that it will not do any good to her if she'll converse with these men. But she was so curious that she did which she shouldn't have...

"You were not the one bumped into me. Why would I give that to you?"

The man's jaw clenched at her response. Ritwik is not good with patience. This girl has surely attracted him, but the curiosity killed the cat. She is annoying him now.

"You wouldn't like the consequences of talking back to me"

He spilled those words without thinking for two seconds. He don't like people deafening him. Simply because he's not used to it as everyone around him always follow his orders.

He can now sense nervousness on Mishti's face. It isn't like she wasn't afraid before, but after his remark, Mishti got the hint what to do.

She then went in her room and after some time the chit was in her hands.

Om smirked Watching her Finally they have got what they want. Where as Ritwik's face was neutral as ever.

Relief washed over Dadi's face thinking now these men will leave them alone.

However Mishti still wanted answers but was too afraid to ask.

Ritwik now went towards her shortening the distance between them and snatched the paper from her hands. He stare at the paper as his eyes hardened on it. "What's wrong now?" Mishti thought.

"Do you take me as a fool?" Ritwik asked her calmly but his muscles were tense.

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Om went forward and took a peek at the paper. This was not the code. Their was some Russian language written on it but it wasn't what Simba carried along with him whole the way.

"You are stupid. This is not what we came here for, Don't mess with us girl, last warning, give back the chit you have hide in your house" Om threatened Mishti unable to stop himself.

Dadi's eyes widened as she quickly went to Mishti's side. She whispered in her ear, "Mish, give them what they want, These people are beyond dangerous than our imagination. You will get us killed by your stupidity" Mishti sighed in defeat.

"Why would I hide something which is not mine? It is the same thing I picked from the street" She murmurs but Ritwik and Om heard her...

And what happened next made Mishti shed tears.

Ritwik's right hand gripped Mishti's throat tightly & crushed her underneath his body weight as Mishti's back crashed with the wall.

She immediately put her hands around his to make him step back but he was squeezing her throat too dangerously.

She was panting for oxygen tears shedding from her brown eyes.

Dadi was pleading Om and Ritwik to leave her but Ritwik's attention was on the girl before him.

"I can kill you right here and now, No one will lay a single finger on me for taking your life" Ritwik spoke near her ear and immediately left her.

She choked and coughed for a few minutes composing herself.

"I am telling truth. I have nothing except this paper" She said praying the gods in heaven in her mind to save her from these intruders. Little did she know the unknown faces had other plans for her.

Ritwik wanted to trust the girl before him. He is good at reading people and the way she is speaking without stuttering and directly looking at him, she is telling the truth and wasn't hiding anything But the situation has become more complicated now...

Did there enemies succeed in stealing the information? Did Simba lied them or was he tricked into something? He is dead. He can't reveal the answers And the girl before him seems useless now.

"Om, keep the tabs on this girl. If you feel like she's guilty in anyway, you know what to do then" Ritwik said without leaving his gaze from Mishti and Om hummed in response.

Mishti's expressions changed from fear to fury.

"You can't stalk someone like this!" She shrieked. The change in her demeanor made Ritwik amused.

She knows she's in the hands of death still she have the courage to snap...
Feisty little thing....

He came here to see this girl, A thing he never do, Girls throw them at himself, not the other way around. His mind drifted somewhere else as his gaze went to her lips. She was panting hard and her lips were twitched in an aggressive manner, something he find himself craving. He wanted to feel the taste of her lips on his But Immediately that thought left his mind as he realise where his imagination was going.

"I have my eyes on you, Mishti Khanna." Ritwik said and left the little place the same way he came.

Dadi hugged her granddaughter & Mishti thanked Bappa for saving her from that man.

For now, She was regretting her decision of going to the market today. Even if she went, why the hell that man have to bump into her out of all people? And what was she thinking examining someone else's thing on the road afterwards picking it and taking it home?

But when the bad timing comes, nothing falls into place. She didn't slept at all through the night. Her dadi told her they are bad people, but didn't said much.

Dadi warned her to do anything like that again. She was afraid they'll follow Mishti now, but what can the lady do? Nothing to save themselves from the Mafia...

Next two days went pretty good. Mishti seemed to forget what happened two nights ago.

No one was following her, as the dangerous men promised her but she still had suspicions that they are keeping eyes on her but she wasn't afraid as she did nothing wrong.

Today was the first day at her work. She grabbed a job at an architect company, Her post is the lowest as she don't have a college degree but they appreciated her knowledge and gave her job.

She is waiting for the bus right now. Her work place is far from her home so she has to wake up early, has to get ready by 7.00 AM and go to the bus stop. It takes her half and hour to reach the work place.

Soon she was in the bus riding towards the place where she'll start a new journey. As she expected, her colleagues were nice towards her and she was enjoying working there.

She became friendly to the guy named Rohan who was funny and talkative. He was in the same department as her so they worked together. She leaves the office at 5.00 PM. Again she waited for the bus but a black car pulled in front of her making her heart race. Why they stopped in front of her? As she take a look at the driver she cursed her life mentally.

Here is the next chapter.....
