" Just zip up that yours good for nothing mouth."

" You don't say that when I stand for you when your mouth shuts up in front of those good for nothing girls."

" Don't get me started. And I remember you had a crush on one of them last year didn't you."

Yeah because you asked my crush but I couldn't say your name so you thought that it was her.

I very badly wanted to say that but bit down my words.

" That is not connected by how you were not able to come back with an answer when they were talking about you."

" I COULDN'T! and I am sorry for that!"

" Why couldn't you then?!"

" I don't know."

" This is what I hate inside you, why do you don't stand for yourself. Nobody in your life either if it's me, Ahaana or your parents nobody is going to stand-"

Before I could complete she twirled at the ground raising one of her so that it just missed barely a centimetre by my nose. I bent backward a little instincetevely.

" I am tired of listening that every fucking time."

" Why don't you show this feistiness in front of them?" She took a deep sigh and looked at me again.

" If I talked to them, I would rile up and their not so beautiful nose would have to get a surgery." I laughed at her words and shook my head.

" Are you sure that's the reason?"

" 1000%." She said grinning widely. Oh how much I would love to leave the world for the cheeky smile.

" Fine. Let's go now." I said and she nodded.

" This woman really amuses me sometime."

" What?" I tore my gaze from the door they entered to Dad.

" She is all over the business news. People even say that she is the most talented in the business industry. And now she knows how to shoot. I mean... that's.. that's incredible." He said

" You haven't seen everything Mr. Khanna. She is the best martial artist I know. Then shooting, swimming and yeah bike riding. She never loses a race." I looked at him in utter shock. I knew she took martial arts classes because her parents had forced her to learn self defence but shooting and biking? My god! She has changed! Well I have said that too many times that it doesn't even make a sense.

" She is unbelievable." Dad said

" I know that."

Suddenly we heard a gunshot. I turned to door and rushed to it pushing it open. Fortunately, she hasn't locked it. Ruhi was standing near her desk and Karan was standing near the glass door that opens in he garden which was open.

" I didn't miss the shot. And I know you know that. It missed by barely a centimetre away from you ears. So listen, you have betrayed me once and I don't trust you. But I trust that feeling that you must be having right now. I know that feeling. So if you betray me in the slightest way possible, the bullet won't be on the tree instead between both your eyes." He nodded hesitantly fear and regret evident in his eyes.

" I won't betray you. I swear."

" That would be good. " She said and turned around. " Sorry for scaring you all."
