After their conversation, Advik’s stomach growled so both of them went to have a good dinner in one of Adhira's assets, 'One Secret'. On reaching, the manager came forward and greeted Adhira, and led them towards a big, private room followed by 10 waiters and the manager. Without even looking at the menu card she ordered 5 to 7 dishes and also asked Advik to order too. That day they had a great dinner. After that Adhira's car came to pick them up and they both returned to their respective homes.
The next day...…........
Adhira went to the college as usual. As she entered the main gate she noticed that everyone was staring at her. She didn't understand what it was for. She saw that Advik was running towards her and the moment he reached her he was panting heavily.
"Are you fine Advik? Would you like to have some water? Why were you running earlier?"
"No, no! I have seen you so I thought that we can go together to the class. That's it."
"Ohh! Have you seen everyone staring at us?"
"Nope! Not everyone, only security."
"Yeah!"
"Whatever, let's go, Adhira."
Adhira nodded and they started walking towards the classroom. But a huge, tall and big person blocked their way and said, "Principal is calling you."
"Okay.", Advik didn't seem to understand what was going on but now Adhira does. So she agreed.
With a knock, Adhira asked, "May I come in sir?"
"Come in."
Entering the office she saw Aditya sitting on a chair with his cold and king-type aura. And she could detect that the temperature of the room suddenly dropped on her arrival, making her shiver. Even the principal was too fearful and trembling to talk.
Meanwhile, when Aditya’s eyes caught a glimpse of the girl in black from top to bottom his eyes turned to an extra level of coldness. But thinking about what's gonna happen next he wore a sinister smile as if he was telling with his eyes, 'See I had already warned you'.
After seeing those expressions Adhira rolled her eyes leaving everyone baffled. Until now, nobody has ever dared to roll their eyes on him on the top, even after receiving the cold glares like draggers she dared to ignore him. The room was silent and the temperature was getting colder and colder and colder. Finally with much hesitation and difficulty, the principal broke the silence.
"You are Adhira... Adhira Malhotra. Right?", interrogated the principal.
"Yes sir. May I know the reason why you called me?!", Adhira asked.
But before the principal could even open his mouth Aditya replied in a cold voice, "Because my lawyer has come to settle scores with you because of yesterday."
Adhira: …
Principal: ...
Advik: …
Yes! Advik tagged with Adhira too as he was worried for her. She refused but he still didn’t listen to her and followed her. Everyone went into silent mode by hearing the sentence as it sounded like he was the principal of the college or more like a king. Everyone was trembling because of the coldness that was emitted by Aditya except Adhira as she was trying to think of a naughty idea to get out of this situation. So this time Adhira decided to break the silence as it became a little awkward.
Adhira asked with uncertainty, "My apologies, I don't seem to know you? Who are you?"
Again an awkward silence but this time it was because of shock. The people in the office give the speaker a very weird look like,' Who the hell in this world she doesn't know him?!! '.
Meanwhile, when Aditya heard the sentence he became so agitated that he threw a death glare at the lawyer, meant to start. While Adhira decided to study her environment, she noticed that except Aditya or better to call the victim there was one more boy and principal and the lawyer too.
After studying the whole environment for a whole minute she heard someone saying, "Miss, Chote Thakur sahab has filed a case about you because you hugged him without his permission". She turned to look at the source of the voice and of course, it's none other than the lawyer.
[TRANSLATION: Saahab/Saahib means Sir/Master ]
"May I know what are the cases filed? And why?", Adhira asked as if she didn't know anything. She asked with an innocent look. But hearing her say 'why' Aditya almost lost his patience but somehow Hritik stopped him. Because he couldn't believe that this friend of his who was usually very calm even when an anxious situation arrives and dealt with others coldly but calmly, today he ran out of patience because of a few words which this suspicious lady had uttered.
[This is not their fault to think of her as a suspicious lady because nowadays if a woman has a bit of a good face they take the opportunity to show off it. But she is dressed as a paparazzi.]
Meanwhile, Adhira noticed the features on Aditya right now which were, dangerous, dark, and deep eyes that glimmer in the dark, beautiful nose, thin sexy lips, and a sharp jaw, overall an 'Angelic' appearance. But she knew that he was just a devil.
"Miss Adhira, Chote Thakur Saahab filed a complaint about sexual assault and harassment. And the punishment is jail. If a person committing the offense of sexual assault inflicts an injury that causes the death of the person or persistent vegetative state, then he/she shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, and it shall be extended to life imprisonment. But knowing that He is The Aditya Singh Thakur, your prison will be of a lifetime as you assaulted a very influential person." said the lawyer like a sensible person.
"May I know your name?", asked Adhira while looking at the lawyer.
"Diljit Ahuja", the lawyer replied proudly.
"So Mr. Ahuja, do you have any proof to support this case?", asked Adhira. After a pause she continued, "I mean is there any proof that can conclude that I have hugged... What's his name? Again."
"Aditya Singh Thakur!", replied Hritik. He is a good friend of Aditya, Hritik Tiwari.
"Yeah, whatever. Do you have any?"Adhira asked again.
All this while Aditya was holding back his anger because he knew that she would beg for his mercy or beg him for his attention just like every other girl usually did. But things changed when she asked about proof and she even forgot his name and moreover she said whatever. She told him WHATEVER!!! Means seriously! He tried his best to suppress his anger but he was getting out of control after hearing Adhira's words.
Seeing Mr. Ahuja, opening his mouth to speak, interrupted him and continued, “And also! You already said that if… ‘IF’ a person gets injured and results in death or VEGETATIVE STATE, then only you can arrest a person and sue him. But I don’t see him being in a VEGETATIVE STATE.”. She stressed on the word ’vegetative’ repeatedly and intentionally just to irritate Aditya.
After Adhira completed her words suddenly the room temperature dropped to minus degrees. Aditya couldn’t even do anything except to hold back his anger as Hritik searched and he found nothing except name, age, and college name as it was highly secured, by her family. So he had a thought that she was a nobody as he could not find or locate anything. He reported to Aditya that she was a commoner. Otherwise her whole family would had been buried six feet deep into the ground.
Now Aditya finally spoke.
"Why shall I have to show it to you?"Aditya asked coldly, with anger mixed in his voice.
"Because your lawyer is speaking like you are a victim and I have molested you. Like I am a pervert. Seriously!" replied Adhira with a playful yet a little frustrated smile.
Everyone present in the room was trying hard to suppress their laughter because no one dared to laugh out loud. But finally, Hritik, who was in the room laughed out loud for a whole good minute because he knew that no matter what Aditya, his third bro said he would never do anything to him.
Till now a person was standing in front of the door of the principal's office but no one cared. Adhira saw how his fourth bro laughed so he snapped his head towards him.
"You want proof right? Just wait there!" roared Aditya, sounding much like a threat. Turning around to face Hritik he blurted, "Go and bring the CCTV surveillance from yesterday afternoon around 3:45 pm."
Hritik, like an obedient child, went towards the security cabin and bought the surveillance from yesterday. He gave it to Aditya. Just then when he searched he found nothing in that footage like the incident never happened in reality even Hritik, Principal, Lawyer and Advik were shocked to see this. Aditya immediately looked at Adhira and caught her smirking and remembered that after hugging she typed something on her phone while running back, which meant she had hacked the footage and removed it.
