It's been almost a week since we came back, it was supposed to be me coming back alone after the event, but Kabir joined me.
Currently I am waiting in a cafe for him, which is quite near from my place, on his insistence to meet. Surprisingly there was no one in the cafe, and it was just me looking out through the glass door to find him walking in.

"I wanted to talk to you about something..." He looked straight into my eyes, while my eyes and my mind had formed thousands of questions by then, who's answers only he had.

Her fiancé managed to get him behind the bars but he was a big business tycoon, he had thousands of sources to come out, but by then, he was able to save me and my sister, Kavya, and we started living with him, just how I wish he was my dad..." By now he had tears streaming through his eyes, and I wasn't able to do anything to help him, I placed my hand on his and he didn't raise his head to look back at me, but continued,
