"Now what will we do? That Akshay caught in red hands infront of Dhriti. I told you that Akshay can't do anything." A female voice raised on the room.

"Don't worry baby sis, we will find a way. And that Akshay because of him we know everything that happened there in one year. So we can't say that he is useless. We will find another guy to spy her." A man said by sitting in chair.

"Do something brother.....she will reach heights and what happens if she returns here?" She asked in a tensed voice.

"No.....she will never come back and I will not allow her to reach heights." He replied.

__________________________________

Here one week is passed in a blink. Dhriti is hardly trying to find out the person who is following her for one year. Aarush is keep visiting Dhriti's office. They are work together sometimes...... today is also Aarush is in Dhriti's office.

"Look Mr.Aarush Malhotra you can decide everything in your project but this idea is not at all good." Dhriti said.

"Why? Oh!because I suggested it....so your ego is not allowing to accept my idea." Aarush said.

"What?ego?me? I'm just saying that ,this idea will going to be flop. Because your project is substantial so its launching presentation also must be expressive and impressive....but your idea doesn't seem like that. " Dhriti said in calm but her voice is cold.

Arjun and Ruhi is watching them.

"So my idea is not at all expressive and impressive, right?" Aarush asked

"Yeah....." Dhriti retorted.

"Do you have any expressive and impressive idea?." Aarush asked sarcastically.

"Yeah....that's why I said your idea is flop...." Dhriti also thrown her sarcasm towards him.

"Have you both done your fight? If it is finished can we concentrate on work." Ruhi asked in boring tone.

"I'm not sitting here anymore.....your Madam have Expressive and Impessive idea than me. So I don't think I'm needed here." Aarush said and got up from his seat.

"For first time you said anything right.....actually you are not needed here..... so let's go from here.... bye bye......." Dhriti said and waved her hand with a tight smile on her lips.

"This grumpy lady will fuck my brain out......" Aarush mumbled in his breath.

"Do you want to say anything you can say by looking on my face.....don't need to murmur in your breath." Dhriti said .

"Yeah....I want to say that today you have to join with our family dinner......so don't forget. If you don't come my family become upset." Aarush said in annoyed voice.

"I don't have any memory related disorders for forgetting . So I will come on time....Can you go now?....please." Dhriti said and by saying last words she pointed her finger towards the door.

Aarush leave Dhriti's cabin by annoyed.

"What's wrong with Riti? Usually she doesn't behave like this." Arjun whispered in Ruhi's ear.

"I'm also thinking same. Actually she is feeling comfortable with Aarush Malhotra.....that's why she behave like this." Ruhi whispered.

"Comfortable.....really....that's why she is fighting with him." Arjun said with teasing tone.

"Yeah.......fool think,Riti behaves like this to her closed one....towards us also she behaves like this. Because she is Comfortable with us and she don't need to show her attitude, character....towards us. Like that.....now you got what I said...." Ruhi whispered with small smrike .

"What is going on.....what you both are murmuring. I am also observing for long time. What's the matter?" Dhriti asked by raising her eyebrow.

"Nothing....." Arjun and Ruhi replied at same time.

"Something is there....you two are hiding from me." Dhriti said.

"Actually we are talking about dinner in Malhotra Mansion." Ruhi said with grinning.

"Really...." Dhriti said.

"Yeah....we are discussing about that....." Arjun said.

"Then it's okay." Dhriti said .

"Chris did you get any clue by hacking Akshay's phone?" Dhriti asked to Chris over through the phone.

"No....actually all are details in his phone is copied to some other device and then it is deleted. So we didn't get any clues." Chris replied.

"Now....what will we do? How can I find .....who is doing this all?" Dhriti said by frustrated.

"Don't stress yourself Dk. I will find it for sure ." Chris assured to Dhriti.

"Okay....Chris you only concentrate on this for now. We will find about Ankith Gupta later." Dhriti said.

"Okay fine. " Chris replied.

"Okay bye." Dhriti said.

Aarush's pov:-

I was very annoyed by her behavior. I was making excuses for working with her to form a good friendship , good bond with her. But Madam always throws her attitude towards me. I don't get why my mom told me to form a good bond with her. Wait.....Is mom is trying to make her my wife. Oh...my god if this is her plan I have to stop her otherwise I will have to handle that female Lucifer for my whole life.

"Hello....Mr.Aarush Malhotra, where were you lost?" It was Rehaan.

"Nothing I was just thinking about Dhri...." oh fuck....I blurt out.

"What Dhri....after that.....complete it....." Rehaan said in a teasing tone.

"Yeah...I'm going to complete it .....I was just thinking about Dhriti's cabin." What is I'm saying? Didn't I get any good excuses ?

"What! cabin.... you know one thing....you can't lie to me." Rehaan said to me.

"I'm not lying ....I am saying that incident happened in her cabin." I said

"What happened today?" Rehaan asked me with boring. This is become daily routine for one week because whenever I go to her office something happens and I will explain to Rehaan.

I explained everything to him.

"I think there is no mistake in her side because your idea is not all impressive." Rehaan said to me with smrike.

"Really.....you are my friend Rehaan but doesn't look like that.....nowadays you are supporting her so much." I said.

"Yeah....because now she is also my friend. " Rehaan said with a smile.

"Friend....when did she accept your friendship?" I asked

"The day I apologize her." He said.

"Then there is a good news for you......" Rehaan said to me

"What....." I asked.

"Ranveer will reach by tomorrow evening. " Rehaan said to me.

"What..... why he is coming here ?" I flabbergasted

"Why are you surprised this much...he don't gone Newyork for live his whole life there...so he will come back to India,right?" Rehaan replied.

"If he comes here now,he will get glued to Dhriti and I can't tolerate that." Oh....again I blurt out. What is wrong with me?

"Oh.....that's the matter." Rehaan said with teasing tone.

"Actually I mean that....if he do like that it will affect my project....." I managed to say a lie.

"Yeah....I understand what you mean. Don't need to explain." Rehaan laughed.

"Why are you laughing now?" I asked him.

"Nothing.....Anyways I have hacked that Akshay's phone with the help of Ranveer."

"Did you get any clue?" I asked

"No....actually all details is with Ranveer. So he said wait for him." Rehaan said to me.

"Why should we wait him? He can give the details from there itself,right?" I asked

"He will reach here by tomorrow then why are you this much tensed. Let's wait for him." Rehaan said.

"Okay fine. There is no other way..." I sighed.

After office me and Rehaan reached home early because of my mother and dadi.

"Aarush you reached.....go and freshup . And Rehaan you also." Mom said. Her voice is filled with excitement. I know what is the reason behind her excitement that is Dhriti, my mom likes her very much.

"No....Karthika Aunty I'm already freshen up from my apartment." Rehaan said.

"I'm going to my room....." I said and gone to my room.

________________________________

Dhriti's pov:-

I get ready for dinner with Aarush's family. Actually I don't want to go his house but his family is so sweet and I don't want to hurt them.

"Are you ready?......" Aju was saying but suddenly standed still looking at me.

"What happened? Why are you looking at me like this? Is there any problem? " I asked.

"What are you wearing Riti? Oh my god....."

"What happened ,this dress is not good. I will change this dress." I was about to leave but he hold my hand.

"No...you are looking beautiful Riti. "

"Really......" I said

"Yeah..."

"Okay then,shall we go. It's getting late." I said

"Okay."

We lock the door properly and get into the car as usual I'm driving the car Arjun is sitting in passenger seat.

We reached Malhotra Mansion 45 minutes of drive. We parked the car in porch and get down from the car and walked towards the door . Their Mansion is really beautiful.



Arjun pressed the calling bell. Here opens the door by Aarush's mom..I mean Karthika mam.

"Welcome both of you ....come inside." Karthika mam said to us.

We entered to house .....as whole family is on the hall seems like waiting for us.

"Dhriti di......" Aashvi suddenly come and hugged me. I lost my balance to her sudden action but Arjun hold me by my waist.

"Hi....Aashvi." I said and and hugged her tightly. Actually I like her very much she is such a sweetheart.....my eyes were traveling around whole hall and members....I understand someone is missing.....yeah Mr.Aarush Malhotra....he is missing well its good .....I don't want to see his face.....he always get on my nerves. Only I know how I spended one week with him in office.....and I don't know how will I manage him till his launching event. But what man is that when some guests come to house ,whole family members want to present in that house,right? Whom about I'm thinking Mr.Aarush Malhotra...... he doesn't know any manners.Suddenly my eye get fixed on a man who was getting down by folding his sleeves. It was none other than Mr.Aarush Malhotra.....he was wearing black t-shirt and black bottoms.....he have well fitted body....I'm sure he is gym obsessed man his body shows that. He look damn hot in black.......what's wrong with me.....



"Dhriti di...." it was Aashvi.

"Yeah.....Aashvi...." I asked by pulling out from hug.

Aarush's pov:-

I was getting down the stairs by folding my sleeves suddenly her voice reached my voice. I looked at the direction from where sound is coming. A beauty figure is standing near my sister. Oh.....my god. Am I dreaming....she is beautiful in this dress....no she is gorgeous. No this word is also not enough to express her beauty. Actually there is no words to say how beautiful she is. Actually I'm seeing her in traditional attire for first time. She is wearing a maroon colour Anarkali with a thin strap sleeves.



There is no ornaments she is only wearing a simple small earring and as usual no over make up and she used a nude pink lipstick. Hairs are set free by taking a middle partition.

Her dark brown eyes looked at my eyes for a second. On that moment my heart started to beat fast. What is happening to me? What the fuck you are doing to me Dhriti?

"Actually what we will call you Dhriti Krishna...that Aarush had said to me that you don't like calling Dhriti. " It was mom. I snapped out from my thought and start get down stairs.

Suddenly my eyes falls on Arjun's hand that is holding her waist. Why? Why this man is always with her? Why he is holding her like that ?

"Actually I don't like strangers calling me Dhriti but you all can call me Dhriti and my loved ones call me Riti....so choice is only yours if you want to call me Dhriti or Riti. As now you all are not strangers for me." She said to my mom.

"Hello Arjun Arora." I forwarded my hand and only intention behind that I want him to take his hands from Dhriti.

"Hello Aarush Malhotra." He give me handshake and I win on my intention he take off his hand from Dhriti. I smriked in my mind.

"Okay then I will call you'Riti'. It's finalized." My mom said to her and hugged her. Dhriti walk towards my grandparents and took footwish from them.

"Hamesha khush raho... beta" Dadu and dadi said to her by touching her head.

Then she moved to my father,chachu,chachi and my brothers. She actually know how to respect everyone and how to talk to everyone. I'm pretty impressed by her behavior.

"Rehaan you are here......" She said with a smile and give him a formal hug. When did they become this much friends? I didn't even know that and she is smiling so much with him and giving him a hug as well.

"Where were you I didn't see you here." She asked .

"Oh...I was in garden attending a important phone call." Rehaan said.

She is talking with everyone except me . She didn't even looked at me and I'm not interested in talking with her also.

"So you ride bikes also....." It was Ayaan curiously asking something with her.

"Yeah.....and I like crazy rides but don't ride like that." She said.

"Why?" Ayaan asked.

"Because it cause accidents and I don't like breaking traffic rules. You know nowadays accident are increasing because of careless people." She said......one minute is she taunting me?. This girl....

"Dhriti......by calling like this you don't have any issues,right?" Aryan asked .

"No issues....you can call me like that." She said.

"Okay.....you know to handle technology as you were saying that using smart watch you found Aashu on that day. But how?" Aryan asked.

"Yeah I know to handle it but in small ways. Nowadays technology are grown using smart watches also we can find locations. But we have to use our brain not impulsiveness. " She said ....again she is taunting me. Rehaan started to laugh and Aryan, Ayaan also laughed.

"Why are you all laughing ? Did she Crack any joke? And all above that why you all are looking at me?" I asked .

"Because they know that I'm taunting you." Dhriti said to me by looking into my eyes. Her single stare into my eyes makes my inner soul shivers. Only thing I want to do now is escape from her stare.

"Actually I want to give a urgent call." I said an excuse and escaped from there.

Now I'm standing outside the hall but I can see everything from the glass wall . As Ayaan is very humorous and I think he is cracking his jokes Dhriti suddenly laughed at him....her smile is very beautiful.....like a shinning star. Her smile can make anyone's life light up.

"Sir....Are you still doubting me ?" Dhriti asked to my Dad. As her sound was so soft.

"Trust me sir....I don't know that accident is a planned or not but I'm not behind that.....because I was hospital that night. After the heavy argument happened there .....I fainted due to that. " She said.

"I trust you Riti. I don't have any doubts on you." My dad said by patting on her cheek.

"Actually on that day I didn't get a time to say a thank you properly. So I'm saying it now thank you so much sir....on that day if you don't come there on time. I don't know what he should have done to me.....he already tried to molest me and he was putting blame on me...that I was seducing him and all. If you don't supported me on that day......Thank you so much for supporting me like a father." Her voice is shaking. I'm sure that their will be tears in her eyes. That so called bastard deserves that accident. He tried to molest her....wait why I'm getting this much annoyed.

"Don't cry okay.....and don call me sir. You can call me uncle." My dad consoled her.

"Dinner is ready....." my mom said from dinning table.

We all walked to Dinning table.
