Karthik's pov

As soon as I came out of the airport, I saw my driver- Ram uncle waiting for me. I smiled at him and get into my car.

Suddenly I got a call from Dad.
" Hello, dad"

" Karthik,  Where are you now?" He asked in a serious tone.

" On my way to home dad, what happened? You sounds tensed"
I was worried by his sudden change of behavior.

"Nothing, just come fast" he said and hung up.

Strange. Dad won't behave like this.
Something is wrong.

Within thirty minutes I reached home. I saw a brand new Lamborghini Aventador in my parking shed.

That means some guests are here.
I have to meet the  owner of this beauty.

Oh I forgot to mention, I am obsessed of cars. Driving is one of my favorite hobbies.

As soon as I reached the living room, my smile dropped.
The man who is a constant headache for me, is now sitting in my house and having tea with my dad.

It's none other than Mr. Shikhawat.
Shekhar Shikhawat .

His lips curved in to a smile as soon as he saw me. But I know, the venom behind his smile.

" Come on Karthik, Me. Shikhawat is waiting you for a long time " Dad said with a smile which didn't reached his eyes.

Dad doesn't know about  Shikhawat's threats. He only know him as a business rival.

I deliberately hided my findings from Dad, because I don't want him to stress . Also, I thought I can sort out this thing alone. But now I regret my decision.

Sometimes hiding things from the people will love, will lead to huge mess.

My thoughts were broken by the cough  of dad. I forced a smile on Shikhawat and sit on the opposite couch.
Just then I saw Mrs . Shikhawat sitting beside my mom.

" So, Karthik, how is everything going?" Shikhawat asked with a smirk on his face.

" Fine" I said with a Stern expression.
The last thing I want in this world was a conversation with him.

As God listened my thoughts, my phone starts ringing. I saw the name of Sumit in caller ID.
Our friends know, when we need them.

I excused my self and went to balcony.

After chatting with Sumit , I returned to the living room and found the Shikhawat couple who are ready to leave.

My mom insisted them to have lunch, but they politely denied .
This is our Indian Tradition. We  treat our guests like God no matter what who they are .
But my poor mom doesn't know she is trying to feed highly poisonous snakes .
