A Flip!!

Rhys and Arshad exchanged glances before they took a brief look at Aarohi! Arshad's brows raised as he shifted his gaze towards his son!

What Deep actually had declared threw the situation into the ocean of silence! Tara remained silent as well looking forward to what was about to happen while hoping for it to be a better outcome!

"I...see!!" said Arshad finally breaking the awkward moment! While Rhys was still too surprised to speak!

The moment still felt awkward for Aarohi, until when Mr.Nethin spoke to her, making her decide to act rationally!

"Pleased....to meet you Ms.Carl!"

Aarohi smiled nervously before bowing her head in a greet to the old yet young looking couple!

"Ms.Carl! Will I be wrong if I say I saw you just a few moments ago on the stage?!" Rhys finally spoke but there was a clear display of confusion and uncertainty in her tone!

Aarohi smiled, "You won't be Mrs.Nethin! I was one of the artists!"

"I see!" Rhys smiled! And the couple then exchanged looks again not knowing what to say, and that was when Rhys decided to get to the point!

"You love her it seems?!" she asked staring her son!

Deep gave out a smile not knowing what else to do, "I do!"

The woman breathed looking at her husband for a brief moment before she shifted her gaze towards the lady, "Ms.Carl....."

"I do!" Aarohi cut her off, and suddenly it felt for her like she was already getting married by the seemingly vow thing!

While Tara couldn't say anything anymore, by the way she perceived things, she knew, Aarohi loves her brother as much as he loves her! Well daring enough to accept, she smirked!

"I know liking is up to me, but further decisions depends on you two! I want you both to get to know her!" Deep explained.

"Does the other side have any knowledge about this?!" asked Deep's father!

"They .....do!!" Deep nodded!

'Fast!!' Tara thought!

"Accepted...?" it was Rhys to question now!

"Uhm....well....some stuff like....officiality....was the rejection!" Deep said with a sigh!

"We thought of you to get married this year! We are glad that you brought it up yourself!!" Rhys said with a smile and Deep's eyes widened a bit!

"Your mother even had chose few to show you!" Arshad chuckled!

Deep's brows raised and that was when he realised why had his sister insisted on him to introduce Aarohi to his parents, and as realisation hit him, his gaze soon fell on Tara! She gave him a look of 'Can thank me later brother!' with a smirk! Deep shook his head with a relieved smile!

"I am proud that I took off some burden!!" he chuckled!

The couple laughed, and soon they started getting along with Aarohi as well! The woman said everything about her, and she got to know more about the famous couple in the business circle! Rhys praised Aarohi for the skills she had and even had they disclosed things like likings, tastes and preferences! While Arshad seemed to like the lady as well, as he heard the whole conversation with a smile just like his son, Deep, was doing! Rhys even started to disclose about Deep's tastes and preferences, some even making Aarohi laugh on!

Tara with a smile observed them, and not wanting to disturb the family, she decided to leave the place and soon she thought about Aryan! He was yet to return!

Arshad noticed Tara moving out of the dining hall, and a frown settled on his face before his wife started to speak again, forcing him to get his ears back to the conversation!

While Tara came out of the hall, she could see that the sky was cloudy now, not clear anymore, even the full moon was hiding behind the clouds! The weather seemed as if it was about to rain, and this bothered her! They were to go out this night!

She thought of Aryan again, wondering why isn't he back yet, and that was when her head throbbed and few visions played infront of her! Her hand reaching up, holding her head, trying to tolerate the pain, while this time she focused on what was she now seeing!

Aryan was fighting with few men, all dressed in black and in masks! Some were got hit to the cars parked, and soon it started to rain.

He was busy fighting and that was when a man came by behind trying to stab him with a knife!

Tara didn't know what happened, and suddenly she saw drops of blood shedding, and she couldn't see anything anymore, her eyes shot open in pain! Tears streaming down her eyes while her head still throbbed!

She tried to process what had she saw even while she was in pain and all of a sudden her importance became him! Aryan!

Where was he?!

To think, he would be where she saw him to be!! And so she tried to remember what she saw again shutting her eyes, more tears falling down her cheeks, after a brief moment, Tara shot her eyes open!

The way that she could see cars parked everywhere, it was the parking area! With no much think, she rushed towards the open place beside the garden, where all the guests have parked their vehicles and cars!

And when she reached, she saw Aryan chasing a group of men, dressed all in black, in masks, they were ahead of him, and so Aryan suddenly grabbed a stone that was on ground, that perfectly fit in his palm, hitting one of them with that stone from behind!

It hit one of the man, straight on his head, making him stop, blood dripped down his hair! Tara's eyes widened witnessing this! While everyone stopped as one of them was hurt! Aryan taking the advantage of it, rushed towards them and now it seemed like the men decided to not to run away and instead face him!

Of course, they would, they were five, and he was one! This man would have gone mad for doing this! And what wondered her more was the reason, why was he all of a sudden chasing them?! "Aryan!!" she called rushing towards him, as she was still far away from him, he couldn't hear her call!

Tara didn't know what to do when she saw the men surrounding him, and soon the man had started fighting with them which made her think that he had gone crazy, what was he even thinking, he is a doctor not a fighter!! And why the heck was he fighting for?! Tara thought of calling the security for help, but she couldn't go back now leaving this crazy man behind, alone, and her phone, she soon cursed herself for leaving her mobile behind on the table they were seated at a while ago!

Along with his safety, one more thing bothered her! This was the place every guest would return at last to return to their homes, and so in a while everyone would witness this all which wasn't of a better option! They just had threw a party and she didn't want the media to change the headline as 'Unexpected moment for TN:-Product launch went wrong!!' from 'TN's product launch:-Threw a party for celebration!!'

She didn't want any of them to witness this, and with everything in mind, she tried to reach him as soon as possible while her head still pained!

While Aryan was on his own way, fighting the men! He even got hit with few punches on cheeks and in stomach, but that didn't stop him to hit them back! He kicked one, while punching another, while also dodging the attacks with his own hands! Moving around, breaking one of the men's arms! Oh mind you, a doctor he was! Having a knowledge of severe injuries and how they were done!!

And this seemed to bring the hell out of them as now the men behaved aggressive not being able to tolerate seeing one of them lay down there unconsciously!

They fought with him with all their might while Aryan dodged their attacks but for his bad luck of being single, they got together, one holding his right arm and another holding his left, while one of the men held his throat from front, pressing it with all his might! Tara who almost reached them was shocked to see the scene, "Aryan!!" she called out loud without her knowledge which Aryan could probably hear!

Aryan was taken aback by the call from behind, while the man infront was choking him to death! With a scream, he with all his strength stepped his foot on one of the men's foot, who held his arm tight in grip, making the man scream, while also pushing him away, and doing the same with the man who was holding his another arm, he got himself free, both the men fell on to the ground and started to run away as they now saw Tara coming towards them!

But the man who held Aryan's throat hadn't left his grip, and Aryan placed both of his hands on the man's shoulder, hitting his head too hard, making him loosen his grip instead holding his head, Aryan then kicked him in the stomach making the man scream in pain stepping back, the man was about to attack him again but seeing Tara heading towards them, he retreated pushing Aryan away!!

"Hey you!!!" Aryan screamed while three of them started to run away while the fourth one still was laying on the ground unconscious!

Tara sighed in relief as she saw them all retreating but soon gasped as she saw the last man flouncing towards Aryan from behind holding a knife! Hell!! She ran towards him and just when he was about to stab the man from behind, she held the knife, stopping him, it hurt her palm as blood started dripping down her palm!

"Ah!" she yelled, making Aryan turn back! While the man was taken aback seeing her, halting not knowing what to do!

Suddenly out of nowhere, thunders rumbled and it started to rain!!

Aryan's eyes widened to what he saw, "Tara!" he called out her name, while Tara rolled her eyes in what seemed to be the combination of frustration and pain, and soon she grabbed the knife out of the man's grip, in process hurting her palm even more, throwing it away, with her left hand, she held his wrist turning it behind with all her strength making the man scream in pain, even before he could protest, she pushed him hard down to ground making him kneel, holding him tight! And he started to struggle while Aryan saw everything in silence, all his focus was on her injured hand!

Tara with her injured hand, hit his side of neck hard, with her side of palm, making the man collapse! She loosened her grip when he lost his conscious and fell on to ground! So action movies she saw were not all out of sense!!

With a sigh of frustration, she turned back to him, staring him while they both were getting wet under the rain!

"Why the hell were you chasing them?!" she yelled!

"You.....saw it coming?!" he asked after a minute of silence.

Her eyes rolled, of course she did, and would!! Was that the matter now?!

"Answer me!!" she yelled!

Aryan sighed, "While I was in restroom, I witnessed them, and I found it strange, them being in masks! So I overheard them, and got to know that they were on a mission to attack you tonight!"

"What?!" she almost screamed confused!

"I confronted them, to know why had they come here and who sent them, and I assume you know what happened later!" he explained!

Everything felt on pause, rain drops hitting the ground was the only sound they could hear as they stared each other in silence of their self, in the witness of their heartbeats which were beating in rhythm now!

While far from there, Arshad who stood at the exit of the dining hall witnessing everything, after deciding to follow Tara, was at loss of words, watching them both in silence with an expression which couldn't be defined! His assistant who stood beside dressed all in black, wearing a bluetooth, held the umbrella out for his boss just so that he could not get wet!

Arshad gave a nod to his assistant, which only was understandable by the man as of why, as soon the man handed him the umbrella before leaving him behind! Arshad stood alone there with an umbrella, staring them both with that same unreadable expression!

While Tara and Aryan remained silent not minding that they were getting all wet, time felt at pause until when Tara spoke up, without looking away from his hazel gaze!

"Why?"

Though her voice was low, he knew, it was her wrath that's speaking!

"Why did you choose to fight?!"
