VRINDA'S POV

"The former Captain of Indian Army, Abhimaan Kapoor, currently Secretary Of Counter Terrorism, RAW INDIA. Sir!!" Neil revealed turning to his side in an attention position including the other men in the suite.

And it was like someone dropped a bucket of chilled water on me.

My hands shivered. I didn't know what to even say.

"Out Everyone" His commanding voice came and in a second I found everyone leaving.

"Anjali.. " I spoke when she looked at me.

Her eyes filled with tears.

"You knew" I asked when she looked away with tears falling down her eyes.

"Vr.. " She was saying before which I stopped her.

"You're the last person I expected to lie on my face" I accused angrily

Neil sighed and held her.

"It'll be fine. I promise" He whispered to her and looked at Abhimaan who blinked his eyes once and after which they left.

As the door closed, Abhimaan looked at me. And my eyes again went to his hand which had the gun.

"Don't look at me as if I'm someone you don't know " He spoke

"Isn't that true" I whispered looking away.

"Let me atleast have a chance to explain myself" He asked

"Chance to explain that you had all the plans to kill my dad. 'My dad's murderers are mine to hunt down.' These were your words Abhimaan" I angrily spoke.

"Vrinda, let me explain from start. Please" His eyes screamed with pleading but I looked away wiping my tears.

Abhimaan went to the living room area and filled a glass with water.

Coming back he forwarded the glass to me.

"You told me that you married because of mom, Was that truth Abhimaan" I asked

"Please have this water Vrinda" He spoke

"Was that the truth" I asked again

"Half truth" He replied when I looked at him.

"You married me because of this fucking thing" I screamed pushing him away.

"Vrinda.. " He tried to speak when I glared him.

"You stooped so low Abhimaan that you ruined my life in the fire of your agony" I accused when he glared me.

"I'm not saying anything doesn't mean you'll speak any shit. And what do you know about your dad huh? Did you ever ask him where he was on the day my dad died. You trust your dad so blindly that you can't even believe that he was the person who has been caught in CCTV there" He raged

I looked at him shocked.

No. This can't be true.

My dad.. My dad can't kill anyone.

I sat on the bed as I looked at him.

"I was 18 when I was selected for Indian Army. The dream which I saw since I was a kid. Dream which my dad saw with me. I was filled in as an Indian Army cadate with which I completed my bachelors in law. The only thing which I didn't know was I wasn't born to be only this. Dad never allowed me to reveal that I was even in army. Not even to anyone else in family other then mom & Aadi. Dad being a respected politician with power in his hands helped me in this. At first I didn't understand. But then one day it changed. Changed for Good " He spoke and I saw his eyes shining with pride.

" I was taken away by Research & Analysis Wing. RAW. The day I spoke to dad about this, he just passed me a smile and patted my back saying, Medals nahi milenge yaha. Naam bhi nahi milega. Bas milega to ek shabad. Mission.

(You won't get medals or fame here. All you'll get is one word. Mission)." He said and for a second I even forgot something has happened between us.

"I was trained for one year. Trained in a way a RAW agent is made. At 21 I was sent to Harvard for masters in Law. This was because they were sending me on missions. Getting a masters degree wasn't just limited to degree. I had two missions in those two years. My Identity was just as Abhimaan Kapoor, a lawyer. Three ago, they made me secretary of counter terrorism in RAW. And then the main mission started. The one I was chasing since I joined RAW. The intelligence informations that were being shared to other countries. Seven people in total were suspected. Five of them in New York and two in India. That's when five years back, AK Firms was set up." He revealed and I looked at him shocked.

That is why AK firms was just five year old.
And that too in NY.

"At RAW they say, I'm a Lawyer who Kills without mercy. Both with mouth and hands" he said with a chuckle.

"They're true. I kill, without a second thought. We're trained to show no mercy. No mercy to terrorists. No mercy to betrayers of India. AK firms was set up so that, I can settle in NY, lead a normal life as well as carry on with the mission. Authorities knew that law is my forte. Hence there the name got built. The Abhimaan Kapoor Firm. No one knew that it would become so big. We didn't want it to reach this way that I become a media favorite person. But it happened." he revealed and then sighed.

"This is me Vrinda." He whispered

"I can't tell you much at this point too. After we met that day at your home where you denied that you won't marry me, I had no intentions to force you. But the news was spread like a plaque. Authorities too knew this. They rested the decision on me. The next day we both decided to get married. Authorities knew this. But they didn't stop me,not because we all knew who you're but also because the media fuss was as real as I told you" He paused and looked at me.

"They know Vrinda. That you're the daughter of Mr. Vidyut Shah. The one prime suspect of Mr. Avinaash Kapoor's death. But I swear, nothing in this marriage was for mission. Tell me ever if once I asked you about anything. Dad's death, wasn't just a normal murder. The branch suspects, it was...never mind. But Your dad is.... " He was saying when I spoke.

"My dad's not involved" I warned when he chuckled humorlessly.

"Talk to your dad, ask him where he was on that day. He will lie on your face Vrinda. Then I'll show you, where he actually was that day" I said and she looked at me.

"Don't do this Abhimaan. Please. He's my dad. He can't be doing this. You just suspect him. How can you do this on the basis of suspicion " I demanded

"Trust me Vrinda, just because he's a suspect yet, he's alive" He said

"Abhimaan" I warned when he sighed

"Vrinda, whatever I did in this marriage wasn't part of any plan. You weren't part of my mission. I pushed you away because I didn't want you to get hurt with your feelings towards me. I wish, I wish it would've been in our control. But it wasn't. I'm a devil Vrinda, and you're in the hell of this devil. You don't have other option. If your father is innocent, I really hope he is, I promise to kneel down in front of him and ask for his forgiveness" He spoke and I looked at him with a little hope.

"But, If he is what the RAW suspect him to be, he'll be dealt in the manner we deal with traitors. If he in any ways has been involved in my dad's death, in any way...." his eyes were dark and black

"I Will Kill Him Myself" He said and my heart broke in thousand pieces.

"Abhimaan" I screamed

"I'm sure, I'm the wrong person in your eyes right now. But keep yourself in my shoes and think. What would you do if your dad would've been murdered by mine " He asked

"Abhimaan. Please trust me. He's my dad. One who has given me these values. He can't" I sobbed when he looked at me, his eyes softened but his fists still clenched.

"Since you know the whole truth now. And since you're his daughter. You're not allowed to leave NY without permission. You know the raw agents here. Including me. So you've to sign on the documents. And if you deny to any of these orders then.. " He was speaking but stopped.

"Then? What you'll do huh? Kill me too? " I asked my eyes wet.

He didn't say anything, just stood up and was at the door of the room to leave when I spoke.

"Abhimaan, I never thought that heart can break in these ways, but you proved me wrong. Though I know my dad but yet if my dad is wrong, I'll do whatever you say me to. But remember, if you're wrong, I Will..." I couldn't even complete

"And in both the conditions right now, What I hate the most is... Even if you deny thousand number of times, I Was Just A Pawn In This Game Of Yours" I spoke angrily at him.

He looked at me as I looked at him.

"Six months, when I asked that what did you do in India, you lied on my face telling me you were a lawyer. You never let anyone enter your office room because it wasn't any cases you of your firm. In India you were looking inside my house scanning every corner of it because it's.. It's my house. You asked me what my dad did even when you had all the information about him. You lied on my face when you saw my parents for the first time. You lied to me every single time you looked at me. When I asked you to speak with me, share with me. You denied because you knew the day I get to know this truth, I'll.... Never trust you again. You.. Everytime you came home late, you were not stuck at office ever right" I spoke asking the last part when he sighed but didn't say anything.

I chuckled as more tears came out of my eyes.

"Every night you went out of the room going to the office room. At many nights, you showered at odd late nights after coming from outside. I thought it all as habits. The scars, suture scars too. Yo.. You sometimes came home with cuts on your face and bruised hands. You lied me of getting into a fight with opponent lawyer. Fighting in the boxing club. San.. Sankalp Kashyap...you.. Knew him too from before right" I asked when he looked at me.

"Yes you knew. This case was already solved. You knew this place. You knew Turkey from before. You kept lying on my face Abhimaan." I accused angrily.

"I was bounded by laws Vrinda" He defended

"Laws! Yes. The laws. You know what Abhimaan. I would've been proud. I would've been a proud wife if this was the only case. I would've been saluted you right here Sir" I spoke sobbing

"But here it's about my dad. And the person standing here in front of me can do anything to my dad anytime. Right now, I Hate You. Because you never found it important to tell me this. I hate you for this." I cried pushing him away.

"I hate you. I hate you" I sobbed

"I loved you Abhimaan Kapoor. But I hate you now" I screamed when his eyes widened and he held both my hands.

"What did you say" He asked when I looked at him wriggling in his hold.

"Leave me. You've no right to touch me right now" I screamed pushing him away but he looked at me.

"You knew, you knew I Will Fall For You. You knew I feel for you. But you were right Abhimaan. I was the one who didn't listen to you. You were so right when you every single time warned me that you're a bad person. You're going to hurt me in the end" I cried

"Was there any honesty in what you felt for me Abhimaan. Or was that too a part of your bloody game. The kisses. They were all fake right " I asked when he looked me, glaring me.

"You should've known me better" He angered

"Know you better? " I laughed

I laughed like a mad while crying.

"Do I Know You Abhimaan, At All ?Even A Bit? Right now the person standing in front of me is a stranger. A stranger who has lied on my face straight for six months. A stranger whom I believed more then myself and all I get today is a betrayal. All these months, when I thought that I've some.. Little right on you, you proved me wrong today. I'm no one to you anymore " I raged as I spoke.

"You're My Wife Vrinda. And Nothing & No one can change that" He warned and I scoffed.

"Wife? What wife" I asked

"What do you mean" He demanded

"It's June 29th. Six months. The contract is over Abhimaan Kapoor. I Want A Divorce" I spoke firmly.
