Aditi peered closer to her laptop. She scrunched up her nose as she watched herself dance with her mysterious stranger

The way their bodies reacted to one another made her skin tingle like she was still there, in that very moment.

She watched as she walked away from him and he frowned.

"Who are you" she spoke aloud, the want to know this man, to understand his interest in her was all consuming

Then the video changed to something else, seven crows all on the ground.

She furrowed her brows, crows? What on earth was that meant to symbolise?

She smiled at the picture of Cinderella and her Prince Charming, that slowly changed to a picture of her and her dance partner in the midst of a dance.

This was oh to confusing, she needed help to work it out.

There was only one person who could help right now.

Aditi pulled open the door to see Nalini dressed in black, she pulled her sunglasses down and smirked at Aditi

"Shall I even ask why you're wearing that" Aditi mused

"To play the part of a mystery solver, we must dress the part of a mystery solver" Nalini replied, her face deadly serious

Aditi couldnt help but wish she had called someone else for help

She stood away from the door, allowing her to come in

Nalini rubbed her hands mischeviously "Lets watch that video"

She walked toward the sofa and pressed play
Her eyes following the movements of the video slowly

She stood up, clapping "One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold" she stopped, clearing her throat

"Uh, seven for a secret, never to be told, looks like your Desi Prince Charming doesnt want you to find out who he is, but I know who wore that mask Aditi, I know who he is"

"Who is it Nalini" she gulped painfully

The anticipation of waiting this long to find out made her feel dizzy

"Its "

3 Weeks Later-

Zain stared over at Aditi, she was again staring at her phone, giggling

For the last few weeks this was all he ever saw her do, they barely talked, infact he was sure she was ignoring him on purpose

"Aditi" he called, again, for the one hundredth time

She didnt reply, still typing out a text message

Zain had enough, he leant over, grabbing her phone from her hand

"Hey" she shouted abruptly "What do you think you're doing" she stood up, trying to grab it back

Zain held it to him, reading through the messages "Aditi, you're dating someone"

He looked back up at her, how could she be dating someone else?

"Yes, now give me back my phone" she went to grab it again, but he held it back

"Why didnt you tell me" he leant closer, his nostrils flaring with anger

After everything they had been through, it hurt that she wouldnt tell him something like this
