"See,  the thing is I..... Never mind I'm not a good story teller" Dhruv tried to say. "Start from where and how you guys met if you don't know where to start fron. We promise not to interrupt " Yoongi advised.

After a moment of hesitation, "But, don't interrupt or else I'll lose the flow and mess up" Dhruv said to which the rest nodded and he loosened his tie.

"So, at first I only knew Meera, we were childhood sweethearts. I was heads over heels in love with her and everybody knew it, her family,  my family and obviously Meera herself. And I always dreamed of marrying her when we grew up.

That was until, I got hit by someone who claimed that Meera will live with her after growing up" he chuckled as he narrated. "Definitely Alesha" Jin mumbled.

"Yeah. She actually beat me up because she overheard, Meera's mother saying that she wouldn't find a better suitor than me for Meera and cajoled me into eating by promising her hand in marriage.

And Alesha came flying out of nowhere and beat me up black and blue. I still remember her saying, 'Akka is only mine. I won't let a buffoon like you take her away. Akka will live with me'. Above all when the elder's called us along to reprimand us,  Alesha started crying immediately and said that she just didn't want anyone to take her akka away. The elder's pitied her and let her off thinking that it's just a child's possessive nature" he continued.

"How cute" Jungkook commented. "Cute? A facade. It was all an act. That cunning little brat put up an act in front of the elders just to get away without punishment. The moment we came out,  she flicked her tears away and told me to stay away from Meera if I valued my life.

She has always been shrewd and protective of Meera. That was the first day we met but,  soon amongst our bickerings somewhere, friendship blossomed. And the three of us soon became inseparable.

Alesha was younger than us. But, her cunning character and shameless behavior  led her to meet and be a part of the major members of one of the most terrifying gangs of Mumbai. They practically,  begged her in. Meera was a great hacker and soon enough they asked her in as well,  made tempting offers begged and everything but, Meera refused them, over and over again." Dhruv said reminiscing their memories.

"So you guys think that they took Meera away because, she refused to be a part of the gang and Alesha angrily quitted and ran away when her life was in danger? " Yoongi commented thoughtfully.

"They aren't capable enough to even threaten one of us. It's just that one day Meera just disappeared and her family just begins crying at the mention of her name and give out zero information.

However, Alesha's reason for running away was somewhat different. When Meera disappeared, Alesha went through a mental breakdown. And around the same time Alesha's mother was admitted to the hospital.

Alesha's mother is a very easy going fun loving person, a typical extrovert. Whereas her father on the other hand is sociable,  but prefers to be highly motivated, likes to keep to himself, hates mindless socializing and is a very simple man plus he's almost always either working , reciting religious scriptures or watching motivational speeches and her sister lives far away in a hostel.

Alesha kept running around between the hospital and her home amidst which the gang people pissed her off. She left the gang, and tried to keep looking for Meera. It was tough for all of us. But,  soon enough another friend of ours told us something. Alesha's book,  which happened to be Meera's favorite, got plagiarized. By the same person who recently plagiarized Alesha's other book. The nameless author.

Alesha sued them and won. But,  soon enough she kept getting attacked. The height was when they broke her leg when she retaliated. Her mother under the influence of the heavy medications, would often get on her nerves by saying stuff like,  get married etc and Alesha had begun having anger issues by then. She knew running off was a better option here.

And Alesha went to Bangalore, stayed with me.  Got her visa and other documents ready and ran away to Korea where she had a secure job" he completed.

"Broke her leg? You guys never found out who did it? "Hoseok asked trembling in anger. "We did. But,  there wasn't much we found." Dhruv answered. "If only Meera was there. Things would have been much better. Way better" he sighed.
