After that incident in morning,as Aaliya has expected her pictures were removed from all over the social media.
She believes that your work should be discussed or be the topic of talking not what are you wearing or your personal life?
She is very private kind of person but being born in such influential family her life was always in news channels. Which she despised a lot and after getting foothold in corporate world,first thing she did was to hire a hacker who would be able to remove her every information from Internet.
She would only appear in public when she wants it to get captured. Otherwise her life was always kept Low key.
Just like that, the day finished and she was anticipating for night as today is the day when Aaban would be returning. She was really excited for his arrival now.
She finished off her work as soon as she could and came back home to get some sleep,because he would be returning in middle of the night and she wanted to be the first person to welcome him.

Arslan's day was busy as he is now trying to shift his trading company here in india as it would be too much loss for his company to bear his absence for an almost a year.
He completed his work and came back home in evening. He had an important video conference at night to attend so he too slept for some time as he knew tonight he won't be getting much sleep.
But what he didn't knew was that,today night he was not going to get even an blink of eye.
~*~
He has just finished his international video conference, his chain of hotels were about to open their new branch of hotel in India and they were discussing it over a video conference. After completing his conference, he saw it was already past 2 in morning. He had skipped his dinner and now his stomach grumbled in hunger.
He came downstairs to have something. He was in kitchen and searching for something in refrigerator as he doesn't want to order anything right now. He found some vegetables and decided to have salad. He chopped veggies and stir it in oil with some spices.He prepared his salad and dressed it in bowl.
He leaned on the kitchen counter with bowl in his hand.He was about to have a first morsel when he heard hurried footsteps coming from stairs. He came out of kitchen and looked at intruder.
There she was, Aaliya wearing her minions pajamas and her yellow hoodie which slightly covered her face. She hurriedly climbed down the stairs and ran in direction of main door of the mansion.
He looked at main door and on cue door creaked open and revealed a young handsome man, looked in his mid twenties entered in house with a travel bag in his hand.
"Aaban" she yelled cheerfully and Aaban just chuckled at her.
Aaban has told her not to wait for him,he would meet her in morning first but he already knew that was not going to happen anyway.
He had just put his travel bag on marble floor and opened his arms for her. She ran towards him and hugged him tightly while he twirled her in air and she giggled loudly.
While on the other hand, he clenched his fist and tightly gripped his bowl of salad. His grip tightened even more looking at them happy and each other's arms.Due to tight grip the bowl of salad broke down in pieces and shattering voice echoed loudly in empty walls of mansion.
The voice of shattering glass made them look at source of voice. They saw a silhouette of a man. Aaliya took a step towards the silhouette in order to recognize the person and Aaban was just behind her.
The tiny shards of glass got pricked in his skin breaking his capillaries making his hand bleed. Aaliya gasped at the sight of his bleeding hand.
"Arsh Bhai.." she was about rush towards him to tend his bleeding hand when a hand on her arm stopped her from doing so.
Aaban jerked her self towards him and hid her face in his chest and looked at confused looking Arslan.
"Arslan Bhai,she is hemophobic. Please go and dress your wound!" He said while keeping her head in his chest while she tried to raise her head from his chest.
Arslan left from there in furious steps towards his room to clean his wound. He clearly saw she was coming towards him when Aaban jerked her back. Why did Aaban do that? Why didn't he let her near him? Oh ofcourse he knows why? And that made him more angry.
When Arslan went from there,Aaban smirked seeing towards the place from where he just left.
Aaliya came out of his hold and ran her hands through her hairs which got messed up due to his hold on them.
"Why did you lie that i am hemophobic?" She asked him while narrowing her eyes at him.
"You get scared seeing blood!" He shrugged his shoulder while replying her but not meeting her eyes.
"But i only get scared seeing blood of the people i care or the people matters to me not all the people!" She explained him while thinking about something.
"You still care for him even after this two years?" He asked with scowling face.
"Aaban there must be reason behind his behavior, i am sure and you know what today..." he stopped her in middle with putting his palm on her hand.
"I just came back from long flight. Do you really want to debate on his ignorance in middle of the night?" He asked her and removed his hand from her mouth.
Her face became red due to Embarrassment and she ducked her head. He chuckled at her reaction and pulled her in side hug while walking towards staircase.
Arslan was back with bandaged hand when he witnessed last scene. When he covered her mouth and she blushed. His anger again bubbled in his vein and he clenched his fist. He strode towards his room once again.
