“I’ll bring her to meet you all as soon as possible,” Aditya said.
Karina looked at the screen again. “Thank you for finding me. This is the best day of my life. I can’t wait to meet you all.”
She disconnected the call, and Armaan whooped in joy. “We did it. We found her.”
“Armaan, will you coordinate with Aditya and ensure Karina reaches us soon?” Mihir asked.
“Yes, absolutely.”
Vedant kissed Anna’s cheek. “Thank you. You found her for us.”
Armaan pulled her into a hug. “Thank you. You are the best. Now, please, can you forgive our brother? He’s made mistakes, I know. But you don’t need to make them too. He’s so miserable without you that he’s gone and fallen ill.”
Anna laughed, and then she gave them a naughty smile. “How do you all feel to know that your sister is involved with Aditya? Do you realize that she was the one in bed with him when he answered the call?”
“Perhaps, not,” Mihir said.
She grinned like a little devil. “Sure, keep believing that. Also, please ignore the very obvious fact that she was dressed in a man’s shirt and Aditya was sitting right beside her on the bed.”
Armaan groaned.
Vedant made a face. “Why him?”
“Fuck. Why him?” Mihir repeated.
Anna patted each of their cheeks. “Karma has a way of coming and biting you in the ass. Each one of you has been nasty to Aditya at some point, I believe. Now what?”
“Now, we are not talking about it,” Mihir said.
“Aditya?” Armaan shook his head. “Of all the men in the world?”
Vedant’s eyes brightened. “Do you think we can make him disappear?”
“Stop talking like the bloody mafia,” Anna scolded. “No one is doing any such thing. You all are going to behave like adults and respect your sister’s decisions.”
Hearing Vedant and Armaan continue to grumble, Anna laughed. “Go now, both of you. I’m sure you have to share this news with Navya and Reina.”
“We’ll be on our way,” Vedant looked at Mihir. “Looks like you’re in good hands, brother.”
“Good to see you finally here inside our home,Anna,” Armaan said, his tone full of mischief.
Mihir couldn’t help the growl that erupted out of him.
Armaan gave him a cheeky wink as he left.
Anna’s bright brown eyes landed on Mihir, and it felt like his world had aligned. She was the most important person in his world, and because of her, he had found his sister.
He kissed her forehead. “Thank you for finding her. I cannot tell you how much that means to me.”
She shrugged. “Happy to help.”
“How are you?” he asked her.
“Hungry all the time, but good.”
He angled his head. “I’m glad to know that you missed me in class and decided to come check on me. Guess you are starting to like me again, Anna.”
She ignored him and said, “Why do you get so mad when anyone calls me Anna?”
