She looked at Peach in shock and asked,"You speak Hindi !?"

Peach nodded and said,"Yeah my daddy loves speaking in Hindi and I love whatever he loves. So I am learning Hindi for him."

"Ohhh," Chandni said and asked,"You love your father a lot right ?" She asked, thinking that the daddy Peach is talking about is her father.

"No. naneun sasil geu salam-eul silh-eo eey."

Peach said, getting rigid at her place all of a sudden.

"Translation please," Chandni smiled, picking up the register from the floor.

"I hate that man. My father," Peach said blankly. Suddenly the silence took its place in the library. Chandni chose to not question Peach for her harsh words as she herself was a victim of her father's bad life decisions.

"I call my boyfriend my daddy sometimes," Peach said, taking Chandni's mind off everything. Chandni's cheeks turned crimson at Peach's words, she bit her lip slightly before asking a little hesitantly,"You mean to say he is your sugar daddy?"

She asked and Peach burst out in laughter,"Yes. Kind of," she said with a smile and again asked her,"Now tell me who is he who is making you smile without being here."

Chandni sighed, closing the register she was working on as she walked towards Peach and sat on the chair beside her at the library table.

"I don't know..." Chandni said, shaking her head lightly.

"What do you mean ?" Peach asked, confused.

"What I mean is I do not know who he is to me. We don't have any relationship. We are poles apart in everything but with every other thought of each other we are falling harder for each other. It's hard to take a step towards him but at the same time it's so easy. He already has a woman in his life.. though he doesn't love her but they are already engaged. I find it odd loving a man who is already engaged...I don't know what to do..."

After ending her words Chandni glanced at Peach who was lost in her own thinking.

"Peach ma'am what are you thinking ?" Chandni asked.

"You said he doesn't love her...the other woman." Peach asked, looking at her.

"Yes he does not and believe me no sane person can love that woman..I have met her only two times and I can confirm it to you she has a black heart," Chandni said, in these few days she has come to become very friendly with Peach although they have nicely maintained their boss employee relationship as well.

"You know how some people have that dark aura around themselves..she is someone like that. You feel suffocated in their presence..." While speaking about Nusrat, Chandni did not realize when she started talking about Shivoham.

"No matter how charming their eyes are, they still shine with filth. Their beauty cannot tame the darkness lurking within them. You feel like you will get burned in their presence..they disgust you, they make your stomach twist in a weird way..it feels like you want to hate them but then you realize even hate is not a correct emotion to feel for them. Some people really leave an imprint in your mind..a memory that haunts you for ages. You want to speak to someone but you cannot because your inner voice says they will come back again...

"To hurt you if you speak about them to someone." Peach completed Chandni's incomplete words.

Chandni looked at Peach, finding the same raw emotions which come in her eyes whenever she thinks about Shivoham. The only difference was it was much more grave in Peach's eyes.

"How do you know ?" Chandni asked.

Peach glanced at Chandni and smiled, shrugging her shoulders lightly,"Just like that," she said but somewhere deep within Chandni knew it was not just like that.
