Vedant's Pov.
"Out" I ordered while banging a file on the desk, not just a file a failure.
My failure. I have been working on this for months but I fucking failed.
They won't stop here, they keep trying to ruin everything I built up, my Empire.
This team sucks, they can never come up with good plan, my headaches with just a thought of losing with my dad. He don't even deserve to be called that. All I want is to make his life a Hell.
I sat back on my chair, my head thrown back as I looked up on ceiling. Lost in the thought, what my life actually means just to take revenge on my dad because he is an asshole, who can never love a woman, who cheated my mom for years, abused her that she ended her life leaving me all alone or to take revenge that he attempted killing me numerous times. Maybe No, its because of my mother, she was an angel, her sweet nature, cute face, sparky eyes. She would have never wanted me in this business but this is all for her. For her justice. I built up myself as the biggest Mafia enforcer just to avenge for her. My father is in mafia too but his still stands second in power after mine. I joined this business at 15 and in nine years of hardwork I have made world biggest empire along with that all my business are spread across the world leading me as one of the youngest self made billionaire. All over media I shows myself happy, but who in this fucking universe is happy?
Bzz Bzz.... Suddenly my phone rings pulling me out of all my thoughts.
UNKNOWN: Hello!
I pulled away my phone from my ear to check who is this but its no familiar.
UNKNOWN: uhm..HELLO??
ME: YES. I replied confusingly but it sounded rude.
UNKNOWN: HEY... (She paused to think, I guess) I GUESS ITS A BAD TIMING AND I DISTURBED YOU, BUT... HOW ARE YOU DOING? She asked nervously
ME:ITS DEFINITELY A BAD TIMING BUT TO WHOM AM I SPEAKING?
UNKNOWN:MYSELF AISHA SINGH AND APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE BUT ITS A PRANK CALL... UHM DON'T HANG UP, PLEASEEE.
ME: YOU EXPECT ME TO LISTEN TO YOUR BULLSHIT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE BORED. Words parted out my lips aggressively.With everything going on wrong way, this unknown girl want me listen her because she is bored... I pinch nose bridge to control some anger.
UNKNOWN: GOT IT! YOU ARE NOT IN A MOOD TO TALK, AND MAYBE GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PHASE BUT YOU KNOW ITS OKAY. SOMETIMES SOMETHINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE EXPECT THEM THE LEAST.
ME: I AM DONE TALKING.
UNKNOWN: NO NO NO WAIT! She said quickly.

Aisha's pov
After so many days I am finally spending some time with my friends. I love them all, they knew I won't come anywhere they will invite because of upcoming exams so they came over my house to surprise me. Moreover I planned that to happen, stupid move but here they are. Also my parents don't like their daughter's outing much, not even their fault, this stupid society is filled with orthodox and modifying others mind to become one. I am from a middle class family with both my parents working. After so much work too we aren't in much good financial situation. So all they expect from me and my brother is to study well and become successful.
Rhea:"You stupid bookworm! How can you study this much?"
Aisha:"Well I want to score good, and that don't happens with last night study like you do my dear bestie. So Yes I study this much."
Rhea:" Huh, whatever, I still score good." She said with a smile and wink.
Aisha: " yeah, you do." I smiled in acceptance, i don't know how she makes that happen.
Sakshi: "I am here too" She said waving at me.
Ira: "Yeah, me too". showing their presence, I laughed and hugged them both together.
we settled and suddenly Rhea jumped in excitement after finding my empty watter bottle on table.
Rhea: "I have an idea..." She sang.
Aisha:" NO, Not again" i huffed.
Rhea:" YES" She ordered me, I shrug." Lets play TRUTH OR DARE"
Sakshi and Ira together said: " I'm in." Now they all looking at me to response.
Aisha: "Okay bitches, but its a bore." I rolled my eyes and stepped towards kitchen for some snacks.
I came back and Ira spun the bottle on table. I prayed in mind to not point me but opposite happened.
Sakshi: "Truth or Dare, Aisha"
Aisha: " Well there is nothing special you can ask me in truth so DARE"
Rhea: "Okayy" she said said with a smirk thinking what she can make me do. I raised my eyebrows to signal her to not think any dirty. She laughed at my reaction. "Fine, easy one, call any random number and talk."
I picked up my phone but peeked at them before making another move. "You guys really want me to do this"
"Yes" they said.
I closed my eyes and tapped my fingers on screen to dial any number. After a few rings someone picked up.
Rhea: "I hope its a boy." She giggled.
ME: HELLO! I greeted No one replied back .I repeated with awkwardness UHM..HELLO??
UNKNOWN: YES. He replied in stern voice.
ME: HEY... I paused and looked at them to tell me what to say but all they did was smile.So I continued... I GUESS ITS A BAD TIMING AND I DISTURBED YOU,BUT HOW ARE YOU DOING?
UNKNOWN: ITS DEFINITELY A BAD TIMING BUT TO WHOM AM I SPEAKING? He said aggressively and I immediately turned off the speaker of my phone and placed it near my ear, as to not embarrass myself more in front of everyone. They all huffed and plead silently to let them hear the conversation.
ME:MYSELF AISHA SINGH AND APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE BUT ITS A PRANK CALL...UHM DON'T HANG UP, PLEASEE I requested as if I am not embarrassed enough.
UNKNOWN: YOU EXPECT ME TO LISTEN TO YOUR BULLSHIT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE BORED. He scolded. I plead these girls that to end the call but they denied.
ME: GOT IT! YOU ARE NOT IN A MOOD TO TALK, AND MAYBE GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PHASE BUT YOU ITS OK. SOMETIMES SOMETHINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT THEM.
UNKNOWN: I AM DONE TALKING. He said angrily.
ME: NO NO NO WAIT!
ME: I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH BUT NEVER FORGET THAT THERE IS SOME HOPE ALWAYS.
UNKNOWN: OH REALLY! I DON'T SEE ANY. He refute.
ME: OKAY, NOW THAT YOU ARE TALKING CAN I HAVE YOUR NAME?
UNKNOWN:NO,I DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS. He said and I took a deep breath to keep my patience, then he spoke again.
UNKNOWN: VEDANT, VEDANT EMROSE.
ME: SO VEDANT, ARE YOU OUT SOMEWHERE OR SOMEWHERE IN HOUSE,CLASS OR... He replied and shut me off quickly.
UNKNOWN:IN MY OFFICE.

VEDANT'S POV
ME:IN MY OFFICE. I replied.
UNKNOWN: DO YOU HAVE A WINDOW AROUND?
ME: A WHAT? I asked still processing her words.
UNKNOWN: A WINDOW. She repeated boldly.
ME: DOES IT MATTER?
UNKNOWN: YES, IT DO. She said confidently, my anger increased to another level.
ME: FUCK I cursed but loud enough for her to hear.
UNKNOWN: YOU CAN DO THAT LATER NOW WHAT ABOUT WINDOW? She said and giggled.
ME: OFCOURCE, I DO. NOW WHAT ABOUT THAT.
UNKNOWN: LOOK OUTSIDE IT. WHAT DID YOU SEE? She ordered.
ME:BUILDING,GARDEN,FOUNTAIN,SKY...
UNKNOWN:YOU SEE THAT REGULARLY RIGHT?DO YOU?
ME:YES, AND YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME.
UNKNOWN: NO I AM NOT, IS THERE ANYTHING NEW YOU SAW?
ME: NO
UNKNOWN: LOOK AT THE SKY. ITS NEVER SAME. SOMETIMES ITS JUST BLUE, PINK OR ORANGE AT SUNSET, BLACK AT NIGHT, SOMETIMES IT HAS STARS, SUN, MOON,RAINBOW, CLOUDS. JUST LIKE OUR LIFE. SOMETIMES THERE IS LONELINESS LIKE EMPTY BLUE SKY,OR THERE ARE CLOUDS SHOWING OUR TASK, THEY ARE BOTH WHITE AS SUCCESS AND BLACK AS FAILURE, SUN SHOWING THAT THERE IS STILL BRIGHTNESS IN THIS WORLD,MOON TELLING THAT EACH DAY IS DIFFERENT,AND MY FAVORITE STARS. She paused pulling back my attention to the real world from wherever I was lost in her words.
ME: WHAT ABOUT STARS? I asked curiously
UNKNOWN:HMM STARS, STARS GIVE ME HOPE.NO MATTER HOW DARK THE SKY IS THEY SHINE, SAYING NO MATTER HOW WORSE THE SITUATION IS, HOW BAD THINGS ARE BUT THERE IS HOPE, ALWAYS AND WE NEED TO FIND THEM. IN THIS WORLD OF DARKNESS WE SHOULD FIND SMALL SPARKLE OF HAPPINESS. I kept looking at the sky accepting everything she said, I didn't even realize why I started smiling after noticing a few stars as its getting dark now. All my anger is gone maybe flew up in the sky after listening to her sweet voice, my mind is calm, I can finally feel positivity in my surroundings.
UNKNOWN: SO WHENEVER YOU FEEL DOWN JUST LOOK UP AT THE SKY. YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. I WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE NOW AS I HAVE ALREADY WASTED ALOT OF YOUR TIME. She chucked. BYE. TAKE CARE VEDANT.
....
Before I could say anything call disconnected and there's a knock at door.
"Come in" I ordered.
Two of my trusted men entered the room. They kept talking about work, today's unsuccessful mission but I could barely focus on them, that girl's words are echoing in repeatedly. Zander tapped on my shoulder to gain my attention. Usually I would have broke someone arm for this but not him, he is my right hand man, he was the only who helped me in my worst,he is more like my elder brother.
Zander: "Are you okay?"
Me: "yeah, I'm fine. everything that happened was okay, we just need to plan better.We still has Hope."
Zander: "Right, good to hear that from you."
They started to leave but I stopped Carl, the other guy, one of the best hacker, head of all the hackers and technologist who work for me.
Carl: "Yes"
Me: "I want all the details about the last call I received."
Carl: "Anything suspicious?"
Me: " Nah, just curious. Her name is Aisha Singh, find everything about her."
Carl: "Okay, will send you all the details."
.....
While being alone again I kept my eyes outside looking at stars shinning, sparkling, giving me HOPE.
