"Misha send him inside." I said picking the intercom.

"And yeah check the dresses, precisely the engagement lehnga... if they are done ask someone to help you in putting them in my car." I said remembering the most important thing.

Tomorrow we have to leave for mom's sister's daughter engagement, she is around three years younger than me and is very shy and sweet ; I still remember the day when they came all the way from Chandigarh to invite us and how much happy rhea look. It's really feel good to see her so happy.

While they were discussing about all the preparations, I asked them to let me design their clothes for the event. But they simply refuse it. At first I thought he didn't like my designs, but when Moussaji said it, I understood what he meant;

"Don't take it to heart child, it's just we can't afford so high prices of the dresses-" he said looking at me with a small smile, I relaxed a bit and said shaking my head,

"But I am not asking for money, you all take whatever clothes you like, you are family. And I never take money from family."

"No child, it can't happen. I'm a hardworking man; I've always given my kids as much as I can afford. Never took help from others. I can't-" he said, shaking his head. I think for a while and look at Ranveer for help but he just shrugs it off.

"Okay let's do it, because you can't accept my gifts, buy whatever outfit you want from my showroom and I'll give you 50% off, with this everyone can wear whatever they want And you have to pay the amount and I will be happy too, but the dresses for the bride will be made by me for all the events and I don't want to hear about it at all. Please." I said, he gave me a smile and nodded and then accepted the offer.

"Rhea lets go we have to plan so much." I said pulling rhea with me towards my room. While rushing over the stairs I heard my favourite voice saying "careful."

"Ishika baby, nice to see you again." Hearing a jittery voice breaks my chain of thoughts, I turn my head towards him, and there is no expression on my face.

He tried to be reassured but anyone can see what a holy cat he is.

"Don't baby me." Grinding my teeth, I told him, who wipes the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"So, what's so important that you want to talk to me? Hurry up, I don't have time to waste on you," I said, not wasting much of my time on that. Taking a deep breath he sat down on the chair.

"I know whatever I will tell you about your so called husband you will not believe me." He said with a smirk lingering on his face, I sighed after hearing him.

This man really knows how to get on my nerves.

Please someone tell him that his game is of no use.

He really got a problem with my man. Can't he just suck up on his crap, and stop bothering me.

"So I got something for you which can prove how innocent I am and how much of a lousy bastard is your so called husband." He said flashing his teeth.

"Innocent and you??? (sarcastic laugh) you both don't sit well to me." I laugh looking at him. He open his mouth to say something but I didn't give him any chance.

"Do you really think whatever shit you will show me and I will believe you. Who do you think you are?? My dad... Well dude, Even if you are a god, I won't believe you. So stop with your shoddy tricks by spamming unnecessarily my phone and mail box." I said with a smirk as colour drain from his face seeing my reaction.

Who he think of himself, that out of nowhere he will come, and will say few things about my Ranveer and I will believe him.

Nah! Never going to happen.

"Hm, what are those videos and pics you were sending me from different numbers." I asked looking straight in his eyes.

"So you have seen the pictures right, can't you see what he is doing with everyone in those videos and pictures. How he is threatening everyone." He said raising his voice.

"God, let him do what he wants to do,-" I bore my eyes into his eyes.

"What are insane, he threatened so many people that he will kill them and you are saying let him do whatever the fuck he wants to do? Ishika are you listening yourself." He yells getting up from his chair.

"Ok. Let's say I believe you, but you tell me even if he is doing anything as you are saying, what is in it that you will get after doing this Rudra. Why are you come running to me after 6 months of my marriage? It's not like we were in love before, you very well know that was a contract marriage which we both were going to do for six months. Six fucking months" I asked, he look like he will cry in any moment.

"why are you so hell bound to break my marriage with someone I love, just now I start thinking that I can also be loved by someone, that I can also have my own family, that someone will accept me as I am. Why are you doing this Rudra? Don't you have any ounce of shame, you got the fame you needed, you asked for forgiveness, I forgive you then why are you coming to me now. Why you want to break my beautiful relation with Ranveer now. Why don't you understand I will never leave him? God I love him." I shouted holding his collars; His allegation against Ranveer spread rage all over my body.

That man has a pure soul who can't hurt anyone and here he is talking all bullshits about him.

My poor baby doesn't even know what these evil people think about him.

Don't worry Ranveer; your Ishika will protect you from these people.

"Ishika lis-" his phone rang cutting him in between. Seeing the screen his face lost all the colours. He gulped hard and with shaky hands he picked the call.

"You scoundrel, dog, you fucker. Where are you huh? It seems like you don't love your sister huh? That's why you didn't complete the work given to you. Running away from me for a whole week." the voice which seems awfully familiar to me. My brows rose up in confusion looking at him.

"No. Please don't do anything to her. I am in basement of Ishika's office, and will go to meet her today one way or another. Please leave her please." He cried over the call looking at me. I look shocked seeing his demeanour changing in few seconds.

"When you reach that bitch office, I want her live reaction, do what you were asked. If you tried to get clever with me you know what I can do. Understood." The voice said, now I clearly know who this voce belong. Even in sleep I can recognise this voice.

"I will do whatever you will say, just leave my sister please." He cried but the call was already cut. He starts crying holding his face in his hands.

"Rudra. What is going on?" and that-" I asked putting my hand over his shoulder.

"Ishika I am sorry, but please save my sister. You know how small and afraid she is. Please I beg you please save my sister." He cried holding my hands.

"First drink some water.... now tell me everything what is going on? The person on call is-" I said giving him glass of water.

"Yes Ishika, the person on call is her. The day before we met in Greece was the day I met her. She held my sister a hostage from that day. I have been doing everything she is asking me to do just to save my sister. But now I can't do more of this. It's so frustrating for me to do this to you. Maybe our relations were not good now but there was this time where you help me, protect me and doing this, creating misunderstanding between you and Ranveer is eating me from inside. But what I like most out of all is that the trust you have over him. Please never let this trust disrupt because of few people like her."

"Now I want you to act a little so that I can protect my sister. And I promise you I will never come in front of ever again. Please do this." He asked joining his hands I nod my head still try to process everything.
