Segment #14
Darshan rushed to the hospital. Ishaan was talking to the doctor.
"There are multiple stabs, piercing vital organs and there's been a lot of blood loss. She won't be with us for long. I'm sorry, we tried everything possible."
Ishaan's heart sank. The duo went into the ICU.
"Do you recognise the person whoā¦" Darshan asked, hoping for some lead.
"A woman, quite tall, fair. Masked face." Trisha answered.
"Ayesha?" Darshan looked at her and then at Ishaan, who had his fists clenched so tight that the knuckles turned white.
"I will get to be with my Gaurav now. It's alright. Take care of each other." Trisha looked at them and closed her eyes.

"You have been missing for two days, Mr. PA." Aarav snidely remarked.
"I had a family medical emergency." Ishaan answered.
Manohar looked at the two boys, "Aarav, learn how to talk to your employees properly."
"But he-"
"Leave."
Aarav rolled his eyes and left. Manohar sighed. "I am sorry for his behaviour. I should have been a better father. Anyway, what happened?"
"My mother has a cardiac arrest."
"How is she doing now?" Manohar picked his cheque book.
"Stable and slightly better. Doctor said they will be putting some stents in."
Manohar wrote 5 lakhs in the cheque, signed and gave it to Ishaan. "Yeh lo, Prateek. Apni maa ka ilaaj achhe se karwa lo."
Ishaan looked at the cheque and him. "Thank you sir. But I can't accept this."
"You don't have a choice." Manohar looked at him intently. "In tomorrow's party, I want you to be the shadow of Aarav."
"As you say, sir." Ishaan nodded.

The Jinx Club
Ishaan, donned as a college student, was following Aarav. He hated this brat with all his heart.
Ayesha walked in, hand in hand with another woman. She was somewhat shorter, maybe 5'6.
Ishaan felt his heart beat faster. The murderers. He wanted to rip their heads off with his bare hands.
Aarav and Ramya were busy dancing with their friends.
Darshan was in a corner, keeping an eye on every movement while pretending to be high. Bissa's man friday showed up with another man. The two exchanged glances with Ayesha and her partner and nodded in acknowledgement.
Soon, almost every tween had had some sort of drug. Most of them seemed regular. The party was in full swing when there was commotion on the dance floor.
Ishaan and Aarav had gotten into a fight. Aarav tried to punch Ishaan, which he easily dodged, Aarav pushed him on the floor and jumped on him. Ishaan tried to dodge the punch but it landed on his abdomen.
Darshan stood up to help Ishaan but stopped as Ramya stepped in and screamed at Aarav. He slapped her in retaliation and everyone stood stupefied. Ramya tried to hit back but her bodyguard picked her up and dragged her out of the dance floor.
Aarav turned his attention to the floor, Prateek, his Mr. PA, was gone.

Sorry for the delay. Hope you like it. If it wasn't clear, Trisha also died.
