How can i face her

Rishi's pov

As I sat in my room, trying to process the revelation that Radhika had just shared with me, I couldn't shake off the feeling of shock and disbelief.

The name "Rishab" had triggered a flashback to my childhood, a memory that I had long suppressed.

I remembered my father and older brother discussing an officer who had been investigating our company's illegal activities.

They had been worried that this officer would expose them and bring their empire crashing down. My brother had suggested that my father "take care" of the officer, and I had assumed that they had just meant to intimidate or bribe him.

But now, as I thought back on that conversation, I realized that they might have had something more sinister in mind. I felt a chill run down my spine as I wondered if my family had been involved in something truly horrific.

I couldn't believe that I had been so blind to my family's actions. I had always known that they were ruthless in business, but I had never suspected that they might be capable of murder.

As I struggled to come to terms with this new information, I knew that I had to be careful. I couldn't confront my family directly, not yet. I needed to gather more evidence and figure out a way to expose them without putting myself or Radhika in danger.

But for now, I was trapped in a web of secrets and lies, unsure of who to trust or where to turn. All I knew was that I had to keep Radhika safe, no matter what it took.

I walked to Radhika's room, my mind still reeling from the revelation earlier. As I entered her room, I saw her engrossed in her phone. She looked up and smiled as I sat down on the couch. "Hey, Rishi. What's up?"

"I just wanted to talk to you about something," I said, trying to sound casual. "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to discuss something about your personal life."

Radhika nodded, putting her phone down. "Yes, I do. I've been thinking a lot about my future, and I've decided that I want to join college."

"That's great!" I exclaimed, genuinely excited for her. "What made you decide that?"

"Well, I realized that I want to complete my studies and make a better life for myself," she said, her eyes shining with determination. "And now that bhai is not here to stop me, I can finally do what I want."

"I'm so proud of you, Radhika," I said, meaning every word. "You deserve to pursue your dreams."

Radhika smiled, looking relieved. "Thanks, Rishi. That means a lot coming from you."

We chatted for a bit longer, discussing her plans and aspirations. As the night wore on, I realized that it was getting late. "I should probably get going," I said, standing up.

Radhika nodded, walking me to the door. "Goodnight, Rishi. Thanks for listening."

As I walked back to my room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Radhika. She was so strong and determined, and I knew that she would achieve great things.

Rishi's pov

Oh joy, oh rapture! I was so thrilled to be lying awake in bed, my mind racing with thoughts of how I was going to keep Radhika from finding out the truth. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their days worrying about being exposed as a MAFIA?

As I lay there, I couldn't help but think about how Radhika would react when she finally discovered my secrets. Would she be angry? Disappointed? Or would she simply laugh in my face and walk away?

But then, a brilliant idea struck me! Why not just manipulate the situation to my advantage? I mean, it's not like I haven't been doing that already.

So, I hatched a plan to "accidentally" reveal my secrets to Radhika, making it seem like I was being totally honest and vulnerable. I would "confess" everything, and then act all surprised and hurt when she reacted with shock and disbelief.

It was a genius plan, if I do say so myself. And by "genius," I mean completely ridiculous and transparent.

As I finally fell asleep, my mind was still racing with thoughts of Radhika and the situation. I was so caught up in my own worries and schemes that I didn't even notice as I drifted off.

But as I slept, my subconscious mind was still working overtime. I had strange and vivid dreams, full of twists and turns and unexpected revelations.

In my dreams, Radhika and I were in a constant cat-and-mouse game, each of us trying to outmaneuver the other. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to stay one step ahead.

Just when I thought I had finally gained the upper hand, Radhika would suddenly turn the tables on me. And then, just as I was about to give up, I would come up with a new plan and the cycle would start all over again.

It was exhausting, but also exhilarating. My mind was racing with ideas and strategies, even as I slept.

And when I finally woke up, I felt invigorated and ready to take on the day. I knew that I still had a lot to figure out, but I was confident that I could handle whatever came my way.

After all, I had my trusty subconscious mind to guide me. And who knows, maybe it would even come up with some new and creative ways to manipulate Radhika... er, I mean, "communicate" with her.

Radhika's pov

Finally, I couldn't keep my past a secret anymore. I decided to confess everything to Rishi, and as I did, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. It was like a burden had been removed, and I could finally breathe freely.

After telling Rishi, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I realized that I didn't have to carry this secret around with me anymore. I was finally free to be myself, without the fear of judgment or rejection.

I called my friend Jyotika and told her that everything was okay, but I didn't go into details. I just wanted to share my relief with someone, and she was happy to listen.

Later that day, I saw Rishi again, and I put down my phone to talk to him. I told him about my plans for the future, and how I wanted to join college again. He was really supportive and encouraged me to pursue my dreams.

We chatted for a while, and it was nice to just talk about normal things, without the weight of my secret hanging over me. As the night drew to a close, we said goodnight, and I went to sleep feeling more at peace than I had in a long time.

For the first time in a long time, I felt like I could finally move on with my life. I was excited to see what the future held, and I knew that I had Rishi's support every step of the way.

As I drifted off to sleep, I smiled, knowing that I had finally found the freedom to be myself. I was no longer trapped by my past, and I was ready to embrace whatever came next.
