Eternal Love : Reunion Of Two Souls

6 AM

Aliya was sound sleeping. She was too tired as a lot had happened in the previous days. The sun was about to rise. But her sleep was disturbed by sounds of her house's doorbell. She tossed and turned before sitting up and cursing whoever it was. When she looked at the clock while rubbing her eyes, she was already striding towards the door to abuse whoever it was. As she opened the door, she fell down.

*THUD*

When she tried to get up, she found that there were two bodies hugging her tight. And what other things can she expect from her friends-cum-lifelines, Bhavna and Anushka. They continued to lie on her until she started screaming.

"MY BACK!!! AHHH!!! GET UP YOU TWO!!!"

As they both realized they were actually done hurting her as they were 'instructed', they got up laughing and screamed in harmony

"GOOD MORNING ALUU!!"

Aliya was now ready to get up and kick their asses but as she got up her back ached badly. Thanks to the soft carpet on the floor, her spine was not fractured. She got up with the support of the sofa on which both these sacks of flour were jumping. She closed the door and yelled

"YOU TWO!!! WHY SUCH ATTACK???"

The two again answered in harmony

"Because we were ordered to do so."

Aliya was puzzled. Massaging her back with her right hand, she sat besides them and asked

"Who the hell is remaining in taking revenge?"

"Your lover!" Bhavna said while laughing out loud.

"Rishi?" Aliya asked

"Oh! So you know who is your lover!" Anushka teased her

"Shut up Anu!! You two don't have work other than playing pranks with me? One is in police and the other is a model. Still they have so much time left to harass their friend!" complained Aliya

"So you think we are playing a prank! Not at all! Rishi himself instructed us to pounce on you like wild cats. He said you did the same that night.. Did you?" Bhavna said while having a devil smile

Aliya widened her eyes wondering what all she did when she was drugged.

"Seems that you really don't have any clues what 'things' you did that night." Anushka deliberately stressed over things, taking an advantage that Aliya didn't remember anything.

"Things? I did asked him what happened, but he always said nothing much. I remember he was having a back pain. And I had a swollen fist. I promise that nothing as such happened." Aliya was literally getting scared by imagining what she might have done

"Okay! Okay! Anu was just kidding. Don't stress over it. You know how she is, right? She was interrogating him as usual to find out if he had taken advantage of your situation or not...

"Not at all! He handled me well. By the way what had I done to make him take revenge from me?" Aliya interrupted Bhavna

"But I didn't do that deliberately. Anyways, I will talk to him. But, Anu, this is not right! You seriously questioned him? Knowing hat how much he had done for me?" Aliya asked

"That is what my point! You know how much he has done for you. Still you are not letting him to enter your heart?" asked Bhavna to persuade her

"That is not the case. I did talked to him last night about the same." Aliya reprimanded

Turning to her side Anushka curiously asked

"So have you said that you have accepted him? As you said me before."

Bhavna widened her eyes

"And what about me? What secret discussions are going on?"

Aliya stood up and decided to confess to them everything she was feeling after their conversation in the car in Kashmir. She walked two steps and started

"Nothing Bhavna. I just said her that I see my life partner in Rishi. I also had this feeling 10 yearsback but then from what he did, I lost trust on my intuitions. But now I think I was right. So I feel my brain has also agreed with my heart. I have accepted him."

Bhavna hugged her from back

"You are really lucky. The hardships you faced have resulted in this. Rishi is indeed suitable for you. And unlike the previous time, Anu is also sure, right inspector?"

"Of course!" Anushka too joined and they had a group hug.

6 PM

FASHION AND THE CITY

Everyone was rejoicing that this was just trap to make them revolt. Many even apologized to Aliya for misunderstanding her. The CEO had cleared everything in the morning in a conference that he was only helping Aliya that night. Of course, that image was not rubbed off from anyone's memory. But Aliya's name was cleared. Aliya and Rishi had seldom chances to talk in the whole day.
