"Sh-Shiwalik!" Advait mumbled continuously as Himadri panicked realizing he was in a nightmare. He was shivering and sweating a lot as Himadri kept wiping his sweat with her pallu, caressing his hair to calm him down.
*Himadri didn't yet change her outfit.

"H-himadri! Shiwalik... Himadri so-sodun geli ap-aplyala!!! Tila... tila thambav please! He cried out. "SHIWALIK!!!!" He shouted and got up with a jerk as Himadri held him. "I'm right here dada, I'm right here... shh! Calm down!!" She said softly.
(Himadri! Shiwalik... Himadri left us!!! Please stop her!)

Adavit as soon as realized hugged Himadri tightly resting his face on her shoulder and cried out loud. "H-hima! He was trying to stop you... h-he was going to follow you with his c-car but it l-lost its control!! I don't know what happened after t-that." Himadri, hearing this froze as this was add on to her guilt, felt she didn't even deserve to live after all this but she didn't know that the car losing its control and her leaving the house had no relations.

"I'm sorry! Please calm down... I'm right here, dada will be with us soon... I'm sure wherever he is, he'd be safe! I'm right here dada, you're safe hmm?" She said very softly keeping her emotions in check. Almost after 15 minutes, Advait breath started shortening as he still kept crying.

"Dada bas zala re, shant ho! You're not able to breathe..." Himadri uttered worriedly but he didn't pay heed to her words and having no other choice she finally exclaimed in a cold voice, "Advait Jadhav! I want no tears in your eyes in the next two minutes or you'll face the consequences!!" Well, he stopped crying in the next 2 minutes but he didn't bother to break their hug, he stayed there resting his head on her chest.
(It's enough dada, calm down!")

Himadri shifted back as she leaned on the sofa so that he could lay comfortably. "Kay zala? Khup athvan yetiye dada chi??" She asked carefully so as to not trigger his emotions again whereas he just nodded slowly. "I'm sure he's all fine where ever he is. He is alive! I know, my heart tells me..." She said softly knowing his thoughts.
(What happened? Are you missing Shiwalik a lot??)

He sighed and closed his eyes. "Sleep comfortably! I'm there, hmm?" Himadri reassured him and leaned her head on the sofa and closed her eyes.

In the morning, Shivanya woke Himadri and Advait and both of them had a stiff back. Advait was silent, he didn't even glance at the girls and went to his room but Himadri knew and tried to calm Shivanya who had almost panicked realizing her brother hadn't even wished her a good morning.

Himadri got ready and went to Advika. As she entered the apartment she was greeted with the tightest hug. "Please don't go Hima... I won't be able to live." She cried out tightening  her grip around Himadri.

"Calm down Adu! Yahi toh hai na apartment, jab chahu aa sakti hu... kyu itna tension le rhi hai? Also Avyaan and Advait dada- umm- they are not even ready to let me go to the college." Himadri explained with a sigh and broke the hug taking Advika to the couch.

Himadri cupped her cheeks and asked, "Mai rahu yaha pe aaj? Shant ho jaa maate!" Himadri felt helpless, she couldn't leave her home now but she couldn't even leave her bestfriend. She wished Shiwalik was there for her right now, he would've guided her like always.

"Adu! Adu look at me..." I insisted her to look at me in the eyes. "They lived without me for 4 years meri jaan! Avy toh sirf 11 saal ka tha!" I tried to make her understand.

Somewhere is France,
(I don't know French so I will just mention if the convo is in French or English)
"Alex! Why don't you go back home? It's been years..." A man named Firoz asked Alex. "Which home Firoz?" Alex asked chuckling sarcastically. "The home which I left by myself or the one which is not even home anymore?" He asked rudely.

"Both are the same place S- Alex!" Firoz said with the same tone as Alex scoffed. Before they could argue more, a man barged in.

All the convos till I mention again are in French

"Attorney! We need you... your client is behaving weird, he's asking for you constantly." The man said in a hurried voice as Alex left behind the man hurriedly. "Firoz I'll be back in a while... keep checking on the footages" Alex declared and went.

Firoz cursed him in all languages he knew before turning on the TV which was playing some footages. There were two males in one section, one female in other and two more females in the third one. As he switched to the next screen, it was having a footage of a school in one section and a male in other.

Firoz got interrupted by a call as he answered, "Yes? ... Yes this is Firoz Shah speaking. ... Alex isn't available at the moment, I'll inform him once he is back. ... Thank you! Please don't hesitate to call on the same number if needed." He said and ended the call.

"Such a punk he is! Which home he says... the home where he brought up his siblings!!! Who had told him to leave in such a abrupt way?! Did he try to understand her once before blaming her?! Ahhh I hate him!!!" He shouted annoying and again focused on the screen.

Convos are in English now...
Alex returned but Firoz just turned his face away. "Stop acting like a kid!" Alex said coldly adding more Firoz's irritation. "You've a client from India. Marital rape case from Dharavi, Mumbai." Firoz said rudely as Alex froze. "Mumbai" He whispered to himself.

Alex's POV
So it's finally time to meet the past I left back. Firoz thinks I blame her but I know she had reasons which she is not ready to share. Ahh well I can't handle Firoz here, how will I handle those punks there...

Author's POV
Alex finally dropped his act and asked Firoz, "Kab jana hai?" Well, only to receive a painful whack from Firoz. "Kyaaa???" Alex almost whined rubbing his arm. "After 3 days..." Firoz said sighing, he knew it was during the time of Diwali.

"Hmm, fine... tu thodi rest krle mai ghar jaa raha hu." Alex declared and went away making Firoz scoff. "Only AD can handle him!" He said sarcastically.
