Chapter 54: On my own
Visha had went to freshen up when her phone buzzed on the table a few times. Dhira felt irritated after a while and finally picked it up. There were a few texts from a bunch of people asking how she was including texts from Vikram and Priya. Dhira squinted her eyes when she saw their names. The hatred for those two could never be subsided in her heart. Since Vikram was already in her trap she opened up his chat first.
'Remember your promise? Waiting for my treat.'
Dhira's lips curved upwards as she started typing, 'Sure. Where do you want to go?'
He replied almost immediately. Stupid. Dhira thought. Soon he will be paying for everything he did. She opened to see what he had replied and just as she expected, he asked Visha to meet up at the parking lot of the mall nearby.
'Will meet you there.' After replying, Dhira deleted the entire chat. She had already taken care of this guy, there was no need to trouble Visha by telling her about it. She would be depressed to find out that another one of the people she trusted had betrayed her. She already looked so down after finding out about Priya.
Visha opened the door and saw Dhira sitting there with her phone.
"What is it?" she asked.
"You got a text from Priya." Dhira kept her voice low. She was still unsure how Visha would react. To her surprise she remained calm as she held up her hand to take her phone. She didn't look upset or disappointed anymore. Dhira obediently handed the phone back to Visha. She opened up the chat to see what she had sent. Dhira peeked in out of curiosity.
'I just found out about what happened. Are you alright?'
'I'm fine. Just a few stitches.'
'Oh. You should be careful. What are your plans for dinner?'
'No plans yet. You have something in mind?'
'Yeah. You won. So let's go celebrate at that new place.'
'Okay. Will meet you there.' Visha put her phone back in her bag. She looked around the infirmary once to check she wasn't forgetting anything. After that she headed to the door to leave. Dhira followed closely behind her. They walked through the corridor, past the lobby and then towards the front gate, in absolute silence. Dhira had already read the entire chat Visha had with Priya and couldn't bear it anymore.
"Do you want us to come?"
"No. I should handle my own problems. I can't ask you to watch my back all the time. It's too much of a burden." Visha said in a low tone. She felt guilty that Dhira had to do so much just because she ended up making enemies and was naive enough to trust them too. She already owed her a lot, and Dhira just kept on adding more. She felt lucky to have such a caring and modest friend but that didn't mean she should exploit her to this extent.
"Not at all, you're my little Puppy." Dhura answered as she patted her head gently.
Visha nodded at her with a bitter smile. Dhira knew she was hurt and didn't want to probe any further so she got into her car.
"Come, I'll drop you."
Visha knew with the wound on her thigh Dhira would never let her go on her own. So she got in without any resistance. Dhira was so considerate of her and on the other hand Priya wanted to have dinner tonight even though she knew Visha was hurt. She really must have been blind not to see this before. And that sly vixen Priya, did all that for a guy. The schemes, the fake friendly and caring attitude. She must be pretty impatient. If she could pull away her mask like that, then it must mean she was prepared to end it tonight. Visha didn't plan to go easy on her either. She had always believed in giving back two folds.
Just then she suddenly remembered that Dhira said there were three culprits in total. After Priya she could easily guess the second one. It was obviously Divya. She felt Divya was much better than Priya because atleast she hated her in the open and didn't pretend to be friends just on the surface while backstabbing her. Dhira had said she took care of one and she had another one 'within her grasp'.
"Do you have Divya right now?" she asked. Dhira didn't answer and just nodded silently.
"Let her go. I will deal with her on my own."
Dhira could sense the coldness in her voice. She had never seen Visha pissed off. Since she wanted to do this by herself Dhira didn't reject her. She decided to silently watch over her so she could jump in if the situation got too dire. She won't interfere otherwise and let Visha handle it on her own. Looked like her Puppy turned out to be a vicious hound!
Dhira dropped her off at the entrance and drove off after she saw Visha enter the restaurant. Then picked up her phone and texted Shivam.
'Let her go after wiping off the mansion from her memories.'
She trusted that Visha was more than capable of protecting herself. These people were no more than mere flies. And once she was done with them, Dhira actually had a mission planned for her. Since she already knew that Visha was not some feeble little girl, it was time she treated her like every other member. She would have to work like everyone else. This would keep her away from the capital and also give Dhira time to investigate Visha's identity.
