Italy, Morning

Aanya was deep in sleep. In her sleep, her hands began to move here and there. She unknowingly wrapped her arms around the pillow, feeling it soft. She immediately opened her eyes. Seeing the pillow, her face fell; she sat up and mumbled, "Where has Rivan gone?" She checked the time on her phone; it was 6 AM. She got off the bed, put on her clothes, and headed towards the bathroom. After a while, she came back after taking a shower and went towards the closet room. After getting dressed, she stood in front of the dressing table and started doing her hair. While doing her hair, she said, "Where did Rivaan go so early in the morning?" She finished her hair, picked up her phone from the table lamp, and called Rivaan. But Rivaan’s phone wasn’t connecting. She tried calling him two or three times, but his phone still didn't connect; she was getting irritated.
Then she walked out of her bedroom.

She was roaming on her floor, muttering to herself, "Adi also had to go to India right now, he's gotten a bit too busy." Muttering to herself, she came towards the lift. As she entered the lift, she once again called Rivan, but his phone was still not connecting; Aanya was now getting angry. In anger, she pressed the lift button and mumbled, "He went without telling me? I'm not going to spare him! What do they think of themselves!" After a while, the lift stopped on the ground floor. She stepped out of the lift and started walking swiftly towards the hall. Everyone was sitting on the sofas in the hall, except Rivan, Karan, Aarav, and Rishabh.

Riya was sitting on the sofa; she looked at Aanya and said, "Aanya, are you up? Come here."

Aanya walked towards Riya. Shruti, Siya, Parul, Danish, and Harish were sitting in the hall. Aanya went to Riya and said, "Mom, where is Hubby?"

Riya said, "Aanya beta, I haven't seen Rivaan since morning either. Rishabh, Karan, and Aarav are also not visible. Don't know where all of them have gone?"

Aanya shook her head and started to leave the hall.

Then Siya said, "Look, Mom, she doesn't even have time to sit with us. She only wants Rivaan Jiju."

Aman, who had just arrived, said jokingly, "The glow on Aanya's face, the one with Rivaan bhai in the morning, doesn't come from talking to anyone else! It seems Rivan bhai left no stone unturned in relieving the fatigue of the night. That's why she needs bhai now, because her budha pati ('old' husband) was showing his jawani (youth), right?"

Aanya's face turned red with anger. She was so furious that without thinking, she gave Aman a powerful punch in the stomach! Aman, groaning in pain, slumped onto the sofa, while Riya and everyone else couldn't stop laughing.

Aanya glared at everyone once and then quietly left the hall. Aanya was walking through the corridor, her mind boiling with anger, her steps stopped at the study room. She went inside the study room and sat like a queen on the chair by the big table where Rivaan usually sits. She sat on the chair checking files like Rivaan, sometimes typing on the laptop, then she angrily slammed the file on the table and closed the laptop. Doing all this, she was tired, she got up from the chair, and walking here and there, started looking at the books and files kept on the shelf.

Aanya was now feeling a deep irritation, when her eyes fell on a book. It seemed strange to her because of its cover page; there was something special about that cover page that was pulling her towards it. She picked up the book and looked at the cover page very carefully. On that cover page, a special tattoo was made, exactly the same, exactly like the tattoo on Aanya's wrist.

A cold shiver ran down her spine. "This tattoo is the same as the tattoo on my wrist," she whispered to herself, "but how can that be? Mom, Dad never told me why they got this strange tattoo on my hand." A whirlwind of questions began to rise in her mind. "I'll call Dad and ask," she called Shrikant, but his phone wasn't connecting. Then she called Nagma, her phone wasn't connecting either. Aanya said angrily, "What is happening? Rivaan's phone isn't connecting, Mom-Dad's phone isn't connecting either?"
