Pallavi's POV

I run up the stairs and fall onto my bed, crying. He acted like he didn't know me. I could see the slight hint of recognition, but he still spoke to me like an outsider.

I text my older sister, Ishika, but don't get a reply.

I cry and cry until there is knocking on the door. I hastily wipe my tears and stand.

"Come in." I say.

"Hi Pallu!" My best friend, Nithya says, walking in. She closes the door.

She has a big smile on her face, but it disappears when she sees the frown on mine.

"Pallu. Emaindi?" she asks, concern written all over her face.

"Pallu, what happened?" she asks, concern written all over her face.

"Nithu!" I yell. I run up to her and hug her tightly. Nithu is like the second sister I never had.

"Calm down. Pallu." she says, worried.

I release her, and sit on the corner of my bed.

"Emaindi?" she asks again.

"What happened?" she asks again.

"Nenu Vijay annani choodadaniki vellanu." I say, crying.

"I went to see my brother, Vijay." I say, crying.

"Ayithe?" she asks.

"So?" she asks.

"Nenu evaro theleenatluga matladade." I cry.

"He talked to me like he never knew me."I cry.

She stares at me for a few minutes before talking.

"Le." she says.

"Get up." she says.

"Enduku?" I ask.

"Why?" I ask.

"Manamu Ex-DCP Vijay IPS garini kalusthunnamu." she says coldly.

"We are paying Mr. Ex-DCP Vijay IPS a visit." she says coldly.

"Nithya-" She puts her hand up, stopping me.

"Pada Pallavi." she says.

"Let's go Pallavi." she says.

We get into Nithya's car, and she drives. I sit in the passenger seat, and zone out.

**Flashback**

I walk with Arjun, latched onto his hand, eating an ice cream cone that he had just bought me. Arjun is talking about the new company that his dad is building. I look around, and stop in my tracks. I instantly let go of Arjun's arm, and turn around. But I know that its too late.

"Pallu?" I hear behind me. I turn around and smile sheepishly.

"Hi anna(older brother)." I say to him.

"What are you doing and who is this?" Anna asks.

"Um, anna, this is um-"

"Vijay, here." A girl-

No, not any girl-

"Mithra?" I ask.

"Pallu!" she says.

"Ey, ella unnavu?" I ask my best friend.

"Hey, how are you?" I ask my best friend.

"Bane unna. Nuvve?" she asks me.
