"Miss Nirvaan, long time no see." The middle aged man said as he looked at Shweta and smiled.
"Rangaa." Shweta muttered slowly and looked at the cars behind Rangaa, where she could see shadows of 4-5 men sitting leisurely.
Though Shiva didn't know anything about Shweta's past, just looking at her paled face and the group of people walking out of their cars, he felt worried.
If it was the him years later from before he died, seeing this kind of scene he would smile and walk forward to pick a fight first for no apparent reason.
But at that time he was just a simple student with no experience or no skills. Hell, he even felt scared just looking at all those vicious looking men.
But still suppressing his shock, he moved closer to Shweta and asked "You know him?"
Shweta glanced at him worriedly for a second and then thought of something and smiled. "He's _ he's a family friend." Although she tried to lie and maintain her expressions, but it was clear she was surprised by this sudden intrusion.
"But didn't you say you were an orphan?" Shiva asked, remembering her previous statement during their conversation.
"That _ my adoptive family. He's a business partner." Shweta said with a stutter, cursing herself for speaking too much earlier.
Shiva looked at her but didn't know what to ask.
"Business partner huh, well I guess she's right about that." Rangaa, who heard them talking, interrupted them and started speaking in a calm tone. "After all, the deal I agreed with her father is because of her proposal."
"Tell me, where is he nowadays? I heard his health is declining day by day now." Rangaa asked shweta.
"I have nothing to do with him now. You should know that I've left them and their business behind." Shweta replied.
"Did you?" Rangaa asked surprisingly, but there was no hint of surprise on his face. "Then why did I meet a few of our old colleagues following you around?"
Shweta, who heard his words glanced at Rangaa's hands and noticed the small stains of blood near his wrists and broken glass on the road nearby. "I don't know what you're talking about? But whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
"You know what I want little princess. You've always known." Rangaa said sounding a little impatient.
Shweta took a step forward and said slowly "I have nothing to do with that family anymore. You can do whatever you want."
"It's late today, so I'll take my leave" Shweta said and turned around to look at Shiva and then signaled him to follow her.
But she had only taken two steps when Rangaa's voice sounded behind her and two men dressed in ruffian clothes and tattoed skin blocked their path.
"What's the rush, Miss Nirvaan? We haven't met for so many months now. There's so much to catch up on." He said and walked towards shweta with slow steps "I spent so much time and efforts looking for you, and now that we finally meet, you're leaving like this. That's not fair right?"
"What _ do you want?" Shweta sighed and asked directly.
"Nothing much, just tell me where he's hiding now." Rangaa asked, and this time his tone turned cold as his face showed expressions of anger and hatred.
"I told you I moved on. I don't know anything you want." Shweta replied.
"I heard his son is here in this city too. If you left them, you won't mind if I pay Him a visit, do you?" Rangaa said with a smile.
Shweta clenched her fists as she tried to control her anger, but then she looked at Shiva, who was staring at her and Rangaa not understanding anything they were talking about, and took a deep breath.
"Do whatever you want." she said and started walking away.
Rangaa looked at her and then at Shiva, and his lips curled up in a mysterious smile. "Won't you introduce him to me."
"He's a nobody. Just someone I met a few days back." Shweta said and inadvertently her steps moved forward a little to block Shiva behind her.
'A nobody huh.' Shiva muttered feeling a little hurt in his heart but then shook his head.
He didn't know what was happening but looking at their expressions he could guess this men had no good intentions towards her, so he didn't mind what she said to him.
"But I saw you chatting quite happily with him inside. He's not your secret boyfriend is he?" Rangaa said and walked forward towards Shiva. "It's gonna break his heart, you know."
"Rangaa _ don't." Shweta shouted as she raised her hand and stopped him. "Leave him alone." She spat coldly.
"Tsk, acting so tough even now." Rangaa clicked his tongue but stepped back and raised his hands.
He looked at Shiva's confused face, staring at him and then at Shweta continuously, and smiled even more brightly once he remembered what he said just now.
"You didn't tell him about who you are, did you?" Rangaa said and chuckled as he saw shweta gritting her teeth in anger.
"Don't do it." She mouthed her words slowly as she glared at him in anger, but still held herself back, as she noticed the men nearby putting his hand on his back. And then noticed similar movements all around her.
"Boy, tell me, how much do you know about your new girlfriend?"
Shiva, who was standing aside confused, came back to his senses as he heard someone talking to him. But he didn't care what Rangaa said or questioned, but asked back instead "Who are you?"
"Her full name is Shweta Nirvaan. You should've heard of that surname at least right?" Rangaa didn't answer him and kept saying.
'Nirvaan' Shiva thought in his mind but then shook his head.
He's always busy in his sleep or novels, he had no interest in general knowledge or any news outside his room. So even though the name sounded familiar, he had no special impression of it.
"Her father is one of the richest person in this country, and you haven't heard of him." Rangaa felt amused and laughed out loud.
"He's also one of the most cruel and cold bastard you'll ever see. And she, is his best _ "
Rangaa was saying something when sounds of sirens rang around them, interrupting him. And then the headlights of police cars could be seen coming their way soon.
Rangaa looked at the incoming vehicles and then st Shweta who was also surprisedly looking around.
"We'll meet again, little princess. Very soon." Rangaa said and then sat back in his car. His men followed him too and drove away instantly.
Shiva stared at the leaving taillights and thought about what Rangaa said some time ago. While Rangaa too stared at him in the rearview mirror and tapped his fingers on the armrest.
"Send someone to keep an eye on that boy. And I want all his information before dawn on my desk." He said and glanced at the newspaper placed forward.
[Abhinav Nirvaan to meet with the chief minister of Delhi for their next project.]
'I'll wipe that smile off your face along with your entire empire Nirvaan. Just wait.' Rangaa thought in his heart, as he closed his eyes to hide his cold anger.
On the other hand, after Rangaa and his men left, Shiva turned to look at Shweta hoping to get some sort of explanation or answer, when a car stopped near them and a handsome man, dressed in stylish suit, walked out of it.
Shiva furrowed his brows as he recognised the man, and was about to say something, when Shweta cut him off and spoke first.
