"Why did you go to the hospital, Paro?" 
Adi asked in a dangerously low voice. Paro's heart sank. She knew what was coming. He knew. There's no point in giving different answers. Paro prepared herself for the upcoming chaos. 
"I went to see Rishabh," she said in one go, thankful that she didn't stammer. 
Listening to her Adi let out a dark chuckle as Paro clenched the plate with her fist. Adi left his seat and took a step closer, his eyes burning with anger. Standing behind her he suddenly pulled her hair in a painfully tight grip and placed his mouth near her ear.
" I can't understand whether you are stupid or really smart, Paro." Adi hissed.
" I mean I have to give you the credit for correctly guessing about the tracker. But did you really think that's the only way I can reach you? Huh? You clearly have no idea about the power and connection that I hold, do you?" Adi increased pressure on her scalp a little bit more to get a reaction out of her. But to his astonishment, she was staring blankly at the wall. Adi was more 
pissed off than ever. 
" I am going too easy on you nowadays, isn't it? Again getting back your claws hmm? So tell me, baby, how should I punish you?" Adi asked in a mocking tone. 
" Do whatever you want. I am not afraid of you." Paro again replied in a low, calm voice. She tried to ignore the burning pain in her scalp. No matter how anxious she was. She was determined not to let it be visible on her face. 
Adi's patience was running thin. He couldn't understand how she got back her courage all of a sudden. It must be that boy! 
Coming forward Adi held her jaw in a bone-crushing grip. 
" That loser must have given you some stupid motivation. Didn't he? After all this time, do you really think that he can compete with me? I mean come on! That punk isn't even man enough to take a simple punch. Fucking pussy!" His tone contorted with fury.
His words snapped something in Paro. Pushing her chair with a loud thud she stood up startling him in the process. 
" Rishabh is man enough that you could never be!" Her tone was burning with fire. 
" I see." After the total silence of a few good seconds Adi finally spoke. Paro saw him opening his shirt button while taking steps towards her.
The panic started rising in Paro. No.. no... NO! Not anymore. She could feel what was coming next. And she wasn't ready for it. She just couldn't let herself be raped by him once again. She needed to do something. Paro frantically looked around to search anything that would save her from this bastard. Her eyes kept roaming around until they fell on his gun kept on a table. Without even thinking Paro sprang into getting the gun. 
Adi was so blinded by the idea of teaching her a lesson that he couldn't even see her running towards the table. When he noticed she was already holding it.
In a sudden burst of courage, Paro grabbed it and pointed it at him. "Stay back. Don't even dare to come near me!" She screamed, her hands shaking.
Adi stopped on his track. It took him a moment to realize what just happened. He left the gun on the table. Shit! But her courage surprised him. A smirk spread across his face. " You think you can kill me, Paro? You don't have it in you."
Paro's hands trembled more, Was he mocking her? How dare he? No, Paro was not weak. She was strong. She would show him that. With shivering hands, Paro opened the safety lock. Yes, she knew it. She saw him doing it months ago that evening. She pointed it towards Adi with more determination. " I can."
