I had forgotten how rich the Singhania's were. Their house was more like a palace. Rishab led the way to the kitchen, he told me his guests would be there in an hour.

 'The kitchen is so gigantic' I thought and started working my way through the kitchen. Rishab was of no help as he did not know even a single thing.
"
Pia if I knew all this, I would have not asked you to help. Can you do this alone? I need to manage all my paperwork before they arrive, and can you please go and change?"

Go and change? And this is when I look down and realize I am wearing my comfy clothes instead of classy clothes.
"Rishab I don't have time to go back and change, Don't worry I will not come in front of your guests, Just go and prepare for the meeting, let me handle this."

 Pia has taken over the cooking and by the smell of it I guess she is doing a good job

Pia has taken over the cooking and by the smell of it I guess she is doing a good job. When I go out after finishing my wok, I see that she has already arranged the table.
'Where is she?'

"
Pia.. Pia?"

" In here Rishab" , Pia called back to me from the kitchen with her mouth full of food. "Did you not have dinner?"

 "I did but I made such delicious food that I started feeling hungry again"
, Pia said to me while laughing and eating at the same time.

"You know what Pia? I won't have dinner with them. Why don't you wait up in Ananya's room for me and we will have this delicious dinner you made together"

 Why don't you wait up in Ananya's room for me and we will have this delicious dinner you made together"

"Its okay Rishab, You don't have to. And I will just head back now I need to go to the hospital tomorrow."

"You sure?"

"Yes!. Just heat the food before you serve it rest all is taken care of. Bye! Good Night"

"Ummm Pia? Thank you..."

I looked at Pia as she smiled on my thank you and went off.

 As soon as Pia opened the door of her house she realized that she had left her phone in the kitchen

As soon as Pia opened the door of her house she realized that she had left her phone in the kitchen. Rishab had showed her the way to the kitchen from the garden.

 'I'll go back the garden door, they won't notice me then'
She thought and headed back to Rishab's place.

 After reaching the kitchen she grabs her phone and was about to leave when she heard someone saying, "Why is Samaksh's sister back here? Does she know something?"

"No she doesn't and I plan to keep it that way." Pia heard Rishab say and her heart came to a stop.
"No one, Pia or anyone else can know about what happened. If they do we will have to do what we did 8 years back."

Although numb, Pia came back to her place as fast as she could. That night, all Pia could think of were Rishab's words

" If they do we will have to do what we did 8 years back. "
