Aditya’s Pov:
I landed in India at 6 in the morning. I rushed out of the airport to the hospital.
I reached there in 45 mins. I just ran to reception area and asked the receptionist “Mrs.Saraswati Pradhan admitted yesterday, can you tell me her room no.?”
She nodded and searched through her system, then she looked at me and shook her head
“Sorry sir, there is no one of this name.”
“Search again, you must have done mistake in searching. I clearly remember she admitted here” I told her.
“Ok sir let me check again” she nodded and again goes through her system but again shook her head saying “sorry sir there is no record of this name”
I nodded frowning. I turn around and went out of the hospital. There was a bench nearby hospital garden. I went there and sat on the bench, thinking why they are saying there is no record of my Aai’s name.
Then I thought to check on my house. I got up and took cab for my house.
I reached there within 45 mins. I got out of cab and just turned around and was shocked.
There my Aai and Baba sipping tea and laughing about something.
Here I am. I came all the way here to see them laughing. Blood rushed to my veins as I thought about ifs I was thinking while coming here.
Then it clicked me.
‘PRACHI’
Anger arose inside me.
I immediately unlock my phone and search Prachi’s file. I already have her number but I want to talk to her face to face. I’m hell sure it was her idea.
I again sat inside the cab and gave address to the driver. I reached there in 20 mins. I paid driver and came out of cab and went to elevator. Within a min I was at her door. I literally bang on her door.
No reply.
Again I bang the door.
Still no reply.
Her neighbors came out side and were looking me but I don’t care. The anger inside was increasing.
I was about to band again but she opened the door,
“Kon aahe aata sakad sakadi, mahit nai padat koni jopla asta” she started shouting.
(Who is this in early morning, don’t you know someone is sleeping)
When she was shouting, I was looking at her, messy hair, oversized t-shirt and PJs, and her half closed eyes.
She still didn’t see me.
“How can you sleep like pig after stealing someone’s peace?”I asked her through gritted teeth.
Prachi’s Pov:
I was sleeping peacefully. Then I heard bang. I thought It was in my dream. So I ignored it.
BANG BANG BANG
Again I heard. Then it hit me. I’m not dreaming, someone banging on my apartment door.
I lazily got out of bed and went to open door.
“Kon aahe aata sakad sakadi, mahit nai padat koni jopla asta” I started shouting on the person. I don’t care who it is. How dare someone break my beautiful sleep?
I was shouting on that person though I didn’t see him/her and then I heard familiar voice.
“How can you sleep like pig after stealing someone’s peace?”
I open my eyes slightly so I can properly see him but my eye get widen seeing him at my door.
“Wh..What a..are you d..doing here???” I asked stammering.
I mentally smack my head for stammering. Then I looked at him properly his brown eyes are going black and he is clenching his jaw.
By the one look of him doing this I already in danger and this man will kill me for sure.
Aditya’s Pov:
“Why the hell did you do that??” I yelled. She took step back looking at me. She is looking like a scared kitten. I saw some water in her eyes. I don’t know why I felt like I shouldn’t have yell at her.
We heard some whispers around us. We looked at there and saw lots of peoples are there looking at us. Then she looks at me.
“Come, we’ll talk inside” she said.
She steps aside to let me in. I got inside and I got this home type feeling. She have simple yet amazing apartment. There is small couch in corner of the small living room, on the other side there is dining table, and there connected kitchen, on the other side there is bedroom (I got to know this because the door is open) beside the kitchen there is another door I think that’s bathroom. And on top of that there is also balcony with some flower pots.
By the time I look at this she came inside closing the door behind her after saying sorry to everyone. Let me tell you it took me only half minute to see her whole apartment.
“Put your bag in the corner. I will bring you water.” She said calmly. Started going inside.
Anger arose inside of me. I grab her arm and said,
“I don’t want anything. I just need answers.”
She then looked me in my eye and said “sit”
I loosen my grip on her arm. She got out of my hold and directly went to kitchen.
She came with water,
“Are, you are still standing there, come”
She took my hand and drag me near couch. She put the glass on the table and took off my bag from my shoulder and made me sit on couch.
“Here, drink this and calm down”
I just starred at her. I took glass from her hand and emptied the whole glass. Mean while she took seat beside me and was looking at me.
“now tell me, why are you here? You should be at your house, not here and how do you know my address??” she started asking questions.
“You’re asking me why I’m here??? Weren’t you the one who planned all these??” I asked her feeling angry.
“Yes I was the one who planned this but I was expecting you to go to your house not mine.” She said proudly like she had just won the prize.
“Why did you do that?? What you know about me that you did that?”
“I know everything about you”
I stared at her for awhile and said
“Ok let’s say you know everything then you must know about my relationship with my parents then why??”
“Aditya..." she sigh
"I don’t know you’ll believe it or not but I’ve something to show you...come” she said getting up and went into her room with me following her.
“This was taken the day before yesterday.”
She handed me a file. I opened it and everything stopped…
