"Shyra Khanna?"

Naira didn't know how to react in that situation or what to do or what to say!?
Her thoughts swirled in confusion, as she kept on staring at the person standing infront of her.

Shyra, who was busy dialing her fiancé, looked up on calling her name. She also didn't expect her to be here, she was speechless, confused and mostly scared.

Naira opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She was too shocked to say anything. The person who was declared dead five years ago, all of sudden standing alive infront of her.

" Nai-Naira Rajput."

Shyra whispered and was about to continue but stopped when she was interrupt by car honk.

Their attention shifted towards the car that stopped just infront of them.The vehicle engine sputtered before falling silent,and the driver's side door creaked open. A man's figure emerged, dressed in a suit.

Naira's eyebrows furrowed in confusion looking at the man. Shyra ran towards him,as she hugged him tightly.

"Are you alright?" The man asked Shyra, whe hugging her back.

"Yes." Shyra said. Naira kept looking at the duo, as they kept hugging each other, almost ignoring her presence.

Naira cleared her throat to grab their attention. Shyra broke the hug as both of them looked at eachother.

" I know you have so many questions in you mind right now but before any explanation meet him, my fiancé, Christian Wilson."

Naira's eyes widened as Shyra introduced the man to her.

"F-fiance?"

Naira asked looking at Christian and than at Shyra.

" Yes, Fiancé."

The slight rain started pouring,as Shyra spoke up," the rain has started, I think we should talk in a safe place."

"Let's go to our mansion?"
The man spoke up in his British accent.

" Sure,if she doesn't mind. Are you comfortable going to our mansion?"
Shyra asked looking at Naira.

" Why would I trust you?"
Naira asked.

" Your parents were murdered right? Don't you want to give justice to your parents,Naira?"
Naira's heart beat fastened in fear as Shyra spoke up those words.

" How do you know all this?"
Naira asked.

" I said I will explain to you everything once we are in safe place,Naira. It's already late and see the rain has started too."
Shyra said.

" But-"

" Trust us."
Shyra said as after a min of silence,Naira nodded.

"Let's go in my car, my driver will bring your car."

Christian offered as Naira nodded.

Naira silently followed them towards their car and sat silently in the back seat.
Her mind was so disturbed she could hardly find the words to say anything. The turmoil within her clouded her thoughts and emotions, making it difficult to articulate her feelings or make sense of the situation.She felt trapped in a whirlwind of emotions, where sadness and anxiety tangled together.

Within 15 min, they were infront of a big mansion. On her way, she messaged her family that she is with Khwaish and then told Khwaish to tell her family that she is with her if anyone asks.

"Naira."
Shyra called out her name, as Naira nodded and followed her.

She took slow steps inside their mansion,not ready to discover the painful truth that awaited her.
