"Okay, so this is dead from the start. We don't even have a single frickin clue, how Anaamika and Arun are inside this frame!"

Arun tipped some wrong info about Dhruv to the police and before that he tricked them by being their "guide", all this doesn't make any sense."

"Maybe because he's A... and Dhruv is handling this case.. duh!" Her irritating voice once again interrupted my thinking sesh.

I rolled my eyes but tried to play it calm. "Why? Why would he be A?" I turned to the direction her voice came from. She slowly appeared from the kitchen and walked towards the couch.

"Why? Maybe he's such a psycho?" She.is.stupid. She sat on the hand support and looked into my computer as she passed me my coffee. "Or maybe he's covering his mother. Ah! She looks like such a diva and appears like the first generation of her family in Zurich..." Where is Aditi thinking and processing, I don't see a brain in her head!

"And what does 'First Generation' stuff has to deal with this case?" I questioned her back, relaxing myself on the couch.

"You know... Anirudh... like she's making amateur mistakes... like hiring me for her son's engagement..." she suddenly stopped in her words and her lips parted like a goldfish.

"Omigod..." it was merely coming out of her mouth in the form of a word. She was blank. Her eyes couldn't believe the discovery she made. But I feel it would be nice, if she shared it and I can comment once again on how stupid she is.

"Aditi..." I slowly called her out, and it felt so weird. She didn't respond. I slowly placed my coffee cup on her arm, and she shrieked holding her wrist.

"Oh My God! YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU JUST BURNT THE WRIST OF THE PERSON WHO'S ALLOWING YOU TO STAY HERE! FUCK YOU!" I don't know why she got so hyper about this and stormed off to the kitchen. Seriously? What did I do?

I went back after her to the kitchen. She was at the sink, slowly wetting the place she said I "burnt" "Hey... I'm sorry okay! But what's the big deal?" Her eyes immediately shot at me like she was the possessed female lead in a typical South Indian movie.

She came towards me and held my hand, and slowly ran it to my index finger. What the eff she is doing?

I look down at her wrist, and my bad it was so reddened. Was that so hot? She raised my hand almost to my chest level and looked into my eyes. Ok... this is... HOLY FUCK!!! OH MY GOD! THIS WOMAN IS EVIL!

SHE BLOODY DIPPED MY FINGER IN THE COFFEE I HAD IN MY OTHER HAND.

"Are you out senses? Ah!" I quickly shook my hand vigorously and sucked it. "Tit for tat, loser... you're definitely not getting the detail that popped in my mind earlier." She whispered in my ears and left the kitchen.

Jeez woman! Hell is filled with people like you! And now I'm quoting tv show references! Oh God! I placed my hand in a bowl of water and seem to get relaxed.

I went to the living room, just to find her seated very comfortably on the sofa, and painting her nails. Seriously? Body care is the last thing one would do in this scenario.

She scoffed at me sarcastically and looked back to her nails. "You know what... nobody's gonna matter your "detail" So don't feel so gloated about yourself. Eff off."

"We'll see, Mr.Anirudh. We'll see..." I wish I could wipe that smug smile off her face permanently.

I heard the door open. Arjun and Nethra!

"Huff! Finally you guys came." I almost ran to them and dragged them in. "What's the matter Ani?" Nethra screeched. "Look what I found out!!" I said enthusiastically, showing them my system. Aditi wasn't giving a shit and drank her coffee slowly, placing all her nail paints aside. "What?" Arjun asked not able to find out anything from all those codes and data. "Arun is Anaamika Vaidyanath's son!" I said more like I shouted.

"Anaamika?! That business empress Anaamika!?" Arjun's eyes widened to the max. I nodded affirmative. Nethra's eyes were looking clueless. She's probably thinking what we all are thinking.

"Why would a business tycoon's son do all this? Specially act as a guide?" Nethra tortured her eyebrows by thinking deeply and furrowing them.

"But... I have something for you too..." Aditi declared and got up from the sofa. "What is it?" Arjun asked her. "Do you remember why we went there yesterday, officer?" Is she flirting? I really hope she has a point after all this torture she put me through.

"You had a food contract. So..." Arjun stated the obvious. "And what was the event?" She once again questioned smilingly. "Engagement. Aruna's daughter's engagement!" He replied. Get to the point man! Ugh!

"Exaaactly. And why would Anaamika visit Aruna's daughter's engagement when Anaamika is far more superior in wealth and power to Aruna, and also has no business ties, as per what Anirudh found out?" How is she gathering these points!

Nethra gasped and thought. "Maybe they're relatives?" She posed her possibility. "Yeah they're... but just guess how!" Aditi's eyes were slowly gleaming in excitement. There I felt that slow supremacy of her's taking over me bit by bit.

"Please stop this, and come to point!" Nethra was just as curious as all of us were. There was that accept-your-defeat-Anirudh smile on her face.

"Anaamika was there because it was her Son's engagement too. But do you remember, Arjun? The waiter told that the couple left before we came, but we met Arun at the end of the party..."

We all blinked at her revelation. "And your conclusion is?...." I was too absorbed the revelation that she just proposed. "That means... Arun is not the only son, but there is one more. And Anaamika is not an idiot. They haven't even had released an official media statement about this engagement. It has happened very privately and we both were the only intruders because of my food contract!" She looked at Arjun with a flashy smile.

"But when I fished the internet about it, there was nothing about any of her sons, Anirudh. I deeply doubt the possibility of Anaamika having a son. She pretty much looks single." Nethra turned to me, expecting me to say something.

"The phone number which you gave me looks like he use it for normal purpose. It had so many contacts, but nothing useful." I stated. "Hmm... then I think we should make that date with him to extract some other inf...." Aditi's talk was interrupted, when they heard the telephone ring.

Nethra picked it up.

"Hello.... Yeah, this is her house... no, I'm her room mate, can I know what this is in reference to? She is little busy..." Nethra's eyes suddenly widened and looked at us with shock.

We all furrowed our eyebrows. "Just wait a moment, I'll get her to the line." Nethra put the call on hold and clutched her chest. "Nates, you are freaking me out! What is it? Who's on the call for me?" Aditi asked.

"It's from Anaamika's office, they want to meet you!"
