[ADITI]
Recently I got an offer. Someone wants me to work on his case. Today I will go and meet my client in jail. He told me that he was trapped and betrayed.

I get out of the house and I reach the police station.
I enter and an officer comes to me.
"Can I help you" says
"I'm here to meet my client" I say
"Sure. Tell me his name and I will take you to him"he says
I say my client's name and he takes me to him.
"Thank you" I say and the officer leaves.
I talk to my client and he explains me the situation.
"I will get you free from here don't worry" I say to him then I go.
[VEER]
I check some files with my colleagues and I see Aditi.
"Aditi? What is she doing here?" I say to myself.
"I'll be back" I say to them and I go to her.
"Aditi? What are you doing here?" I ask her
"I came to meet my client" she says
"Client? I don't understand" I say
"I'm working on my first case as a lawyer" she says
"Who is your client?" I say
She shows me his case and I look shocked.
"Vidyut??" I say to her
"Are you protecting Vidyut?" I repeat
"What's wrong?" She asks
"Aditi you don't know him. I worked on his case. I arrested him by myself. He's not innocent. He's very smart. No one wanted to work on his case and he found you" I say
"I thought you would be happy for my first case" she says
"What are you saying? Did you hear me?" I say
"I don't care about what you are saying. I won't listen to you." She says
"But Aditi..." I try to explain to her but she cuts me off saying " I will work on this case. This my last decision." She says

"Aditi I have been following him

"Aditi I have been following him. I have been trying to catch him and now that I succeed you want to take him out of jail?" I say
"I don't care about your life. You mind your job and I will do mine" she says and is about to go but I hold her saying "Aditi if you work on his case you will go against me." I say

She looks at me in anger and says "I don't care

She looks at me in anger and says
"I don't care. I don't mix personal life with work. I will try my best on this case. Even if that means going against you mr. Veer Mehta" she says then leaves.
"He has to stay in jail! He is a danger to the society!" I shout to her but she keeps walking.
[ADITI]
I reach home and I go to my room. I remember what Veer told me about Vidyut. I take my laptop and I search information about him. I look on shocked.
"But that's not what Vidyut told me. He told me another story." I say
"It means that Veer was right?" I say to myself
"No. There has to be something else. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding." I say
