The moment Rohit stepped out, he noticed them.
Arya and Riya stood a few feet apart, the air between them pulled tight like a wire about to snap. Even from a distance, the hostility was unmistakable. It was written plainly on both their faces.
He already knew their history. Just the word "di" was enough to make Arya's jaw tighten. Whatever had happened between them ran deep — deep enough that even basic courtesy had been scraped clean away.
Rohit assessed the situation quickly. Riya was the only person who might know something about Ragini's accident. But acknowledging her meant breaking the one shield he currently had — his supposed memory loss. One wrong step and the entire performance would unravel.
He approached them with a neutral expression. "What happened?"
Riya turned at his voice. The hostility on her face melted instantly, replaced by something warm and almost disbelieving. She took a hopeful step forward.
