Aakriti Pov

I was beyond shock when I heard him . He still hates me that was for sure .

His heated glare met my eyes and my body suddenly got goosebumps . In this hot afternoon I could feel my body turn into cold sweat .

" Aaryan , Listen to me first . " Rohit said to Aaryan making his gaze diverted from me .

" Really , You lied to me . I drove my car like lunatic in while you are he having chit chat with your old friend . "

" I am really sorry . But that was the only way to make you come here . And the most important thing is , we finally got the lead for case . Maybe we will finally able to give her justice that she deserved"

Rohit said and the Aryan's furious expression turned into absolute confusion .

Rohit and Aaryan took respective sits . Aaryan looked at Rohit waiting for an answer .

"Aakriti , show him the image ! "

I clicked on my gallery app and opened that particular picture and showed him .

" Mrs. Singh... " the His whole eye brows turned furrowed and he whispered slowly .

" Yes , Mrs. Singh . She is alive . We thought she was dead but she is freaking alive . we should to tell Mr. Singh as soon as possible ." Mr Rohit suggested .

"No wait . We cant tell him directly he is already very disturbed . Firstly we need to find this picture is really true or just freaking morphed ." Aryan said while looking at me accusingly .

The slight pain emerged in my heart ..

He doesn't trust me anymore . He would rather believe in ghost than my truth.

I just kept quiet . He dialled the number and call someone telling that person to verify image and send him immediately .

Then Rohit started to tell him the whole image finding story .

After that we just sat there in silence immersing in our own thought . I was looking out of the window to avoid his eyes but still I could feel the intense glare on my face .

But I don't have guts to look directly in his direction.

He is completely changed . His face become a lot sharper . The speck of beared is evident on his face . His body also gained few muscles . His tone is completely changed. In short he is become a lot mature and handsome in last 2 years .

I saw the few girls giving him the flirty glances .

In a few minutes...... Finally the phone rang . He picked up call and listening to that person he glance at me .

"Hmmm.... Alright " he said and cut the phone .

He get up from his sit and said

" we are going to Lonavla " .

...........

I was going to open the door of washroom suddenly I felt grip on my wrist and I come in front of burning eyes .

"You are not coming with us ." he said while grabbing my shoulder in painful grip.

"You already caused enough mess in our life . So not anymore and you should just leave I know you don't like to be here anyway "

Just like that he left leaving me in pure shock .

He thinks so low of me ....

After doing my business , I came back to the table . They were engross in a conversation .

" We are leaving for Lonavla the day after " Rohit said looking at me .

" Aakriti , just come to my apartment . I have extra rooms . "

" She is not coming with you . " Aryan said abruptly .

" I mean , She don't like hilly places . It would be better if she just leave . Her part of work is alredy done .....you should go now Miss
Mehta . " he said Mockingly
.

" Actually I don't have any problem with it anymore . I want to come . And most importantly I also want to find the truth " I replied bravely not wanting to meet his fierce eyes .

" Thats good Aakriti . So lets go then . " Rohit said and grabbed my suitcase.

I followed him silently . Rohit opened the door and I slide inside the car .

Rohit and Aryan spoke outside for a moment . They ended the conversation with Aryan looking at me with coldness in his eyes .

The only thing he is doing is just glaring at me the whole time .

Finally Rohit sat inside the car and started the engine ..

" Rohit , I will just rent room in a hotel "

I said to Rohit . I really don't want to be burden on anyone . Rohit alredy had done so many things for me .

" No way , you are not staying at any hotel .
And taking you to my apartment has alternate motive too "

He said with mischievous smile .

" Which motive ? "

" Actually I kind of miss the taste of your food . That taste is really hard to find in this cruel world . So dear I really don't want to miss this golden chance . "

He said and small smile appeared on my lips .

He always appreciate my cooking skill . It was my favourite hobby . I always loved making new dishes .

In a few minutes , we reached his apartment and he showed me the guest room .

He told me that Mira his little sister was in the school. She is 8 years younger than Rohit . He lost his parents in the car accident . From that moment, they shifted to Mumbai and Rohit handled his and his sister's expenses .

I get freshed and unpacked all my clothes and arrange them in them in shelf .

It was alredy 5 in the evening . I make two cups cofee for me and Rohit . We had short discussion about our next step .

Then Rohit also went out for work and I started to make a dinner.

I decided to make his favourite Palak panner, poori and pulao . I was nearly done with dishes when I heard the door bell .

I used towel to dry my hands and went to open the door .

Opening the door , I saw the Rohit with bags full of vegetables and groceries .

And my sight went behind him and saw the one more person was standing with the devious smark forming on his lips ....
