Aap Koun Hai? PT 1

He is with who?🤔

We walk through the amberlit hallways of doors, in terse but quick footsteps. My narrowed eyes on him. who exactly he can be. What are relations ? His connections? What's his relationship with Vihaan?

His walk is in a sort of a regal manner, like a peacock strutting through a praising crowd. Spoilt. But the entire place is empty

The fancy, polished doors, stealing the light from the lamps, hiding the sobs that people shed behind them.

I wince my eyes at the reminder and face forward again, ignoring the doors and the cries.

We have also been quite silent. It's quite unlike him considering the pep in his voice when he talked to the guard, Rishi. I watch him open his mouth several times, but no words ever spill from it.

And I don't like it either. He must know some sort of information .He can't be clueless if he is on this ship.

"Can you take me to Vihaan?" I finally ask, though I already know he is.
" I am". He grins.
And there is another stretched out pause.
Again, I am the one to break it.

"How do you know him?" I ask bluntly this time.

He laughs, rummaging his hand through his dark straight hair,leaving them in a mess of curls "We both know I can't tell you that"

My nose flares red.

"Why not?" I ask.

he does not answer, but his eyes reach the red carpet below us

"Why-"

"Why do you want to see Vihaan?" He asks, cutting me off before I can finish my sentence. And I am sure it's on purpose.

I tilt my head to him and point a brow "Why should I tell you?"

He smiles, forcefully, there is anger behind them. I know I am irritating him .

"Because I saved you from rishi"

I push aside the clear truth he gives me and instead Lock my hands behind my back.

" You seem to know a lot more about my life than anyone on this ship" I retort remembering when he blurted out who my father is.

His smile deepens, the same memory coming to his mind, it's fake sinister

"But that is not enough."

I guess he is not as childish as he seems

"Thank you for saving me from Rishi and thank you for taking me to Vihaan, but you are making it quite clear you want something in return "

"You are right" he spins his head to mine.

I nibble my tongue in rage. It stings.

"I don't know what I can buy you that you don't have"

"I don't need items-I need answers"

I snap my head to him immediately.
Does he know about Mr.Leela?
Does he know what I am doing?
"What do you mean you need answers"

"I'll answer all your questions if you answer mine."

I raise a brow and laugh " I am sure you don't even have the answers I want"

"I can tell you why that is happening right now" he points
Before I can continue, I trail along his finger which points to the wide glass windows.

Through them,Vihaan is there, sitting on a rounded glass table, talking to someone, as he types on his phone. I lean on my side to see the person and I almost fall on my front with a thud.
