Present-day In Delhi.
Amara went straight to the hotel she was staying in, the hotel management was quite miffed and worried about the hotel reputation of his middle hotel so he handed back her luggage.
"We are sorry for your inconvenience, " He said, looking not at all sorry.
Amara sigh at him with nonchalant.
"No problem, " She said with a smile and grabbed her suitcase.
"By the way, I was waiting for this to say it for a while. Your three-piece suite is to tight for your belly have some mercy on the suite" She turns and exist through the glass doors.
She took a bus to Noida. Her journey was boring, by the time she reached there it was night and she took a taxi to what looks like an average apartment society. Here her aunt and uncle live with her little cousin who was turning eighteen now, Meher. She took a lift to 3rd floor and walking through the hallways she stops front of a half wood chipped door. Apartment 304 and knocked on it.
A woman in her late 40s opened the door, she was a dummy short woman with round milk cheeks and brown eyes. She was wearing a light green kurta and salwar, over it a pink kitchen apron with white flower print.
"You are back! I still didn't know why you insist on going alone to Delhi, " She greeted her with beaming smile.
"I told you, Buaa. It was work you worry too much, " She waved her off and hugged her aunt.
"Ma!" Two kids around four years come running and wrapped their arms around her legs they barely reach her knees. The twins, one girl who had her hairs braided into two that barely reach her little shoulder and the other was a boy with a round face, they beamed up at her.
Amara's heart expanded twice in size as she looks at them and bent to their hight.
"And what have you two marshmallows did today?" She tugged on the pigtails of Isha with one hand and ruffled Mohit hair, he needs a hair cut they grow so fast.
"Grandma took us to the park!" Isha said
"We made some new friends!" Mohit said after her.
"Ma is it true we are going to stay here?" Isha asked.
"Hmmm, possibly. But mamma have to work on a few things before we can, okay? Do you like it here?" Amara asked.
"We like it with grandma here!!" They both exclaimed together.
"I like it here with you too! let's go I will give you a treat for that!" Amara's aunt squealed with them and chased them to the kitchen
"I swear, sometimes I feel My mother loves those brats more then she loves me, " Her cousin Riya comes out of her room, she dressed in shorts and a full sleeve top. She had a slender frame with wavy hairs and light brown eyes in the almost circular face.
"Hey! Don't call my kids brats!" She mocks warned her, they burst into laughter and hugged each other
"Everything is alright?" Riya asked. She might the only person who knew just a little part of her.
"Yup! I will tell you later, " Amara whisper back as her aunt call everybody for dinner.
She tucked twins to sleep at night, looking at their adorable and innocent faces. She smile, 'may their innocence lasts forever' She prayed. She strokes their heads loving, kissing their forehead softly and leave the room. Outside Riya was waking for her.
"Now tell me why you left?" She asked, there was kind of curious excitement in her eyes.
"It was nothing, I needed to meet a friend and douch a bullet, "
"what?" She asked confused.
"Let's go to the balcony, " Amara suggested.
They walk side by side and lean to the railing of the balcony as the night air wiped by them and Amara told her what happened.
"So he arrested you from the market then took you to the cafe...that strange, " Riya said confused.
"Like I said they had no proof and they might have been also warning that this investigation should not come to record without valid proof," Amara said.
"That's mean this file is important, "
Amara nodded to Riya's statement.
"What is in it?" She asked.
"Nothing that you should know, " Amara said.
"You knew they were going to arrest you that's why you went a day before and book a hotel room, " Riya said.
Amara nodded. Actually, Amara pre-booked it before she landed in Delhi, checked in the same day she landed then come here stay with her aunt for two days and went to Delhi today this morning when she knew they would come searching for her. Meeting Satya was a surprise and everything else went exactly like it was planned.
Riya ponders over her thoughts.
"If you knew then why you got arrested? Wait for you even didn't technically get arrested...what happened, "
"That's for me to know and for you to never find out, "
"Come on! Why do you always tell me the thrilling parts but not the important part? " Riya whined.
"Act like it's a movie and one day all the mystery will be solved until then enjoy the ride, " Amara said with a smirk and retired for the night.
