CHAPTER 10: Stubborn

The conversation further continued with Riya saying "Look Zoya isn't it your duty to listen to me and follow my orders. And who is your prom going to be?"

"My partner is going to be Siddharth as usual."

"Oh, come on. You've known Sid since you were a toddler. You can't dance with him. Give Siddharth a chance to go out with other girls.....and you better find a nice, handsome and an 'unfriend zoned' prom for yourself this year. You understand?" saying so Riya returned back to her typing which she had stoped.

Zoya just sighed and agreed with a bright smile. This boss of hers was very stubborn at times. She never moved back, once she was determined about something. After Riya`s parent's death, the police investigated the case for a month before sealing it without finding the culprit. It was obvious that the cop were bribed to close the case. Poor Riya couldn't do anything against it, she was very young to fight against the injustice happening, but she didn't give up. Riya would visit the police station every day and plead them to find the murderer. After a few months of doing so, an old constable collected the evidence confidentially and handed it over to her saying her not to tell about this to his upper head officer. The constable also advised her not to take any sort of help from police and instead deal with it alone. That was how she had found that Raj and Pooja Agarwal (Aryan`s parents) were the murderers. Riya only then decided to furtively take revenge from Aryan`s parents and not make the situation worse by letting others know. The secret since then, was known only to the constable, Zoya, Siddharth and Riya herself. Finally the wait was worth it. Now that she was an 18 year old adult, time had come when she could live apart from her uncle and aunt and also execute her plan.

The girls were planning more about their mission, on how to lure Aryan after that.

*******

On the terrace of the college, a man was standing quietly observing the two girls talking in the room

of the other block of college. While one of them was standing, the other one was seen sitting on the bed. He could recognize by looking from the window that the girl sitting on the bed was her target.

In front of the man was a stand, and on it was a long and heavy looking black metal object, looking like the hilt of a sword. The man moved forward toward his gun and began adjusting the target. He had managed to enter the terrace by disguising himself as one of the workers at the college. Although he had worn a security uniform, but the cap and mask he put with the devilish aura surrounding him told that he was up to no good. " AK-47, 350m Firing range. One shot and you'll be dead. Here you'll die and there my wife will come to life."He said.

He felt sorry for the innocent life he was taking, but saving his wife was his top priority right now.

Without any further delay he raised the gun and placed his fingers on its trigger. The man wanted to make sure the target would be dead in one go.
