"You sure I'll live after this?" Alesha gulped as she turned around again to face Dhruv. "I said it. Your fault. Bear with it yourself." he groaned. "Go in before I beat you up myself." he sighed. "Bullcrap. You never would" she stuck her tongue at him. "Just go in already" Jungkook's impatient voice was heard. "First of all. Cut the goddamned call before I cut you up" she raised a fist at him.

"Stop overreacting," he said as he rang the bell. "The hell? I wasn't ready!" she whisper-screamed. "God. I can't do this. I can't do this" she muttered backing away. "Bear with it." he grabbed her hand and pushed her in front of the pinhole camera. "Ali?" a voice sounded from the insides of the gate. "Vanshu?" Alesha responded. "Teri to! Yaad nahi aayi humari?!" the other girl opened the gate and threw a shoe at Alesha which landed smack on her face.

"Good aim" Taehyung's voice resounded. "Vanshu baat sun. Ouch!" the other girl cut off Alesha by throwing another shoe. "Ek reason de. Kis liye baat sunu teri?" the girl yelled as tears spilled down her cheeks. "Dhruv translation" Jimin whispered on the other end.

"She asked, why. As in why she should give Alesha a chance to explain herself" Dhruv whispered back.

"Dekh meri jaan ke piche lage the log!(See, people were out, for my life) "Alesha said before getting hit again and again."One text! Just one text" the girl wailed. "Hida?" a lady asked popping her head out of the window" "Mummy!" Alesha yelled back. "Mera bacha! "the lady wailed as she ran back inside yelling something. "Her mother looks harmless" Bang PD commented. "You spoke too soon" Dhruv clucked his tongue. Within minutes the lady rushed out and hugged Alesha, holding her close. And seconds later beat Alesha up with a stick that she had bought brought along. 

"Aunty!" Dhruv interjected himself between the three. "Dhruv!" the elder lady exclaimed hugging the boy as well. "Can we go inside and talk?"Dhruv smiled. "Of course! Vanshu, your mother called. Urgent work. Come tomorrow, we'll beat her up together." the elder lady listed and bid goodbye to the other girl before dragging the two along.

 "When did you come?"her mother asked before seating the two. "You knew where I was?" Alesha questioned instead. "Your sister isn't as useless as she looks her mother glared her down." I came in today" she answered.

"Where is your bag?" her mother continued." I came here for work so it's at the office place" Alesha stuttered out. "You weren't going to tell us, were you?" her mother pursed her lips into a thin line." I was and then you I couldn't just decide when "

"First you get beaten up, run away from home, rarely contact us"her mother teared up." Mummy Nahi Jaan bujke thodehi kia tha(Mom. I didn't do it on purpose) "Alesha tried to justify. "Excuse me?" Bang PD voiced " Call pe kon hai? (who's on the call?)" her mother pointed at Dhruv's phone.

" It's her boss.. and few friends" Dhruv answered scratching his forehead nervously. "He's also a her good friend of mine. He's twice my age.  Bhai jese hai wo sab. Ache log hai, I promise. Chahiye to Dhruv se bhi puchlo( They're all good people, I promise. They're all like elder brothers. If you want, ask Dhruv)" she interrupted "What work are you doing? Why are you even working? At this age you should be studying!" her mother stood up drawing the attention of an eerily familiar sleepy figure leaning against the railings of the stairs. "If she's well off right now, what is the problem?"

"Dad!" Alesha exclaimed jumping up into the elderly mans arms. "Plus, I knew about her whereabouts and everything else" the man protectively held Alesha in his arms. "You never told me !"her mother accused." You never asked "he shrugged." Can I talk to your boss?" he asked fondly pulling the cheeks of the glowering girl who nodded. Bang PD and the seven boys broke into cold sweat. They were just here to watch the show, they never expected to be involved.
