(Aditi)
A hand landed upon my shoulder as I sat back on the sofa in the hall. It was... Dad? Yeah. "Un.. Unc.. Uncle", I called out for him as the words seemed to get stuck in my throat. "I need to talk to you... Come to the address I give you..", he said and I nodded my head as an obedient child. I pumped myself up with energy and courage. "Where are you going?", Netra did I asked me as I was moving out. "Just.. Outside", I lied. "Okay", she said as she focused on the TV. I went to the address. It was dark and was more like a garage. My heart thudded against my chest with all it's might as if it were to break my chest.

Just then I saw a figure sitting on the bonnet of a car. "Uncle?", I called out for him. No response.

"Uncle?", moving closer I again called out for him but again no response. I was finally standing in front of him and again called out, "Uncle.. Why are you not responding me?". "If u will call your dad 'uncle', why would he respond?", he said out coolly. "What are u speaking about?", I asked being nervous. "Alia Singhania... U better not pretend in front of me.", he warned me. "I am... unable to understand... what u r saying", I stammered.

In the next moment, I was on the gun point. The trigger getting pulled back. "I will kill u for u got back... If it ever comes out.. I will loose everything which I never can afford to", he spoke with hatred. I had my eyes lowered and with all the courage I had, I pulled the gun point to my forehead and said, "Do it..". He was taken aback .. I can say it. "DAD!", a loud yell broke all of it. Prakriti. "What are u doing?", she asked glancing up at us. I made my grip tighter around the gun point, "Do it!", I ordered. He took back the gun and sighed,"Shit! I can't ! I can't do this to my own daughter!". I smiled a bit. "Daughter?", confused Prakriti asked. "I din't let others frown!", these were the last words before I snatched the gun from his hand and pointing it to my chest, I triggered it. The next thing I remember was falling down with a yelling Prakriti and dad sitting by me holding me in his hands. And I guess.. Then I closed my eyes... I didn't know if it was the end.

(Prakriti)
I was just taken Ana k by whatever I saw and heard. It was like... Aditi was my stepdad's daughter? How? When? Why? Where? It's not necessary right now. We immediately dragged Aditi to the nearby hospital. Why did she pull off such an accident? Once she was in the ICU, I ran around for medicines while my step-dad just sat outside the room with His face covered. After all the formalities, I neared him and then asked, "So what is it all about?". He looked up at me within a second and then lowered down his eyes. His lips formed a thin line. I gripped my hand upon him assuring all the secrets were safe. "I never wanted you to know it ... But... She is your step sister!", he blurted. Fuck! What! When! Where! "Means?", I asked. "She is... Alia Singhania...", he completed which made me jump in shock. "But she is dead!", I exclaimed. "That's what the world knows! But it's all a lie.. It's... It's a long story princess... Will u like to hear it?", he asked with hopeful eyes before completing 'everything'.

So probably.... She got it since 6 years... And she didn't bother to say it to me.. But... Why?

I wandered around thoughts. If she was good in hiding herself... I was good at finding her.

"Her condition is critical... We need to operate her in 5 hours... Or we might lose her... Just bring in those medicines", the doctor announced. Dad sprang up from his space and went to the chemist. I was still struggling whether to inform others or not.

"Should I call them?", I asked him once he got back. "Who knows she won't be here the next moment... Just call them", he said. "But what are we gonna say?", I asked. "She met with an accident... And if you wish... You can say Darshan about everything but not to anyone else...", dad instructed me. "But why?", I questioned. "Because... She doesn't want to... It would be better if u won't say anyone about anything without asking her", he replied. I obeyed.

Just hope she gets well.....
