Aditi's POV
A dimly lit corner table in a bustling club, the bass thrumming through the floor. I sat alone, nursing a glass of fake wine, my eyes scanning the room. Of course, why would I drink wine and that too for that bastard, Akhilesh ? Nahh....!

Us Akhilesh ko to yaha abhi tak hona chahiye tha. Ab tak toh yahi tha, ab Kaha chala gaya ? Kahi use kuch pata toh nahi chala ? Nahi... How would he ? I glanced at every corner, a flicker of apprehension crossing my face.

???- "Excuse me, miss ?"

An unfamiliar person tapped my shoulder. I frowned looking at him and asked why he called me.


???- "Are you Aditi Shah ?"

Me- "Yeah... Do you have any work with me ?"

???- "Well... No... Actually, you know Akhilesh Tandon ? Woh aapko dundh Raha hai...."

What the hell....! Why is he finding me ? That means, he knows that I am here but.... But where is he ? And why does he want to meet with me ?

Me- "But why ?"

???- "Woh toh muze bhi nahi pata... Unhone bas muze order Diya aapko inform karne ka so I did what he said."

Me- "Okay... Thanks."

???- "Sure... You just take a right from there and there will be a room, he is waiting for you there only."

Me- "Yeah...."

What is the actual story here ? A room.... Waiting for me.... What the hell is happening ? Should I really go there ? Well, Shikha told me everything and I can't wait to reveal him after knowing everything. I have to do this.... I informed Shourya Bhai and Bhavna that I am going to meet him.

They said that I should not go there but I have to right ? So, I got up from the table and headed in the direction, the person told me.

I opened the room and there was not any bed room or hotel room as I thought. It is a kind of  hidden room where another club was. I was amazed as per the construction and interior designs and all... But wait, this is not what I should think now.... Focus, Aditi.... Focus....!

He will be here any minute. I can't believe I'm doing this. But I need to know. The club doors swing open and a group of men, boisterous and loud, enter. In the middle, his arrogance radiating like a beacon, is Akhilesh.


Akhilesh- "Maine kaha tha.... You would never find a better place for a Friday night. This club is the best !"

He spotted me I guess, that is why his smile widened than usual, like he took on a predatory edge. Then, he shouted over the music.

Akhilesh- "Well, well, well ! Dekho toh, who we have here ! The lovely Ms. Aditi, the designer extraordinaire."

Me- "Mr. Akhilesh, nice to see you here." I said gently.

Akhilesh- "Don't tell me, you have come to see me, darling ? I wouldn't want to disappoint." He leered.

Me- "I actually have a table reserved. I was just waiting for my friend." I stood up from my seat, when he blocked my path.

Akhilesh- "Now, now, don't be so hasty... Humari bohot kuchh cheejo pe baat karni baaki hai..."

I tried  to step around him, but he grabbed my hands, his grip on my hand was too tight. I pulled my hand back and said with a sharp voice.
