Ritika ne Sufiyan ka haath abhi bhi thama hua tha. Usne dheere se apni bag se ek purana, peela pad chuka kaghaz (paper) nikala. Ye wahi drawing thi jo Sufiyan ne 5th class mein uske liye banayi thi, lekin wo adhuri reh gayi thi kyunki us din Ritika ka Noghawa se aakhri din tha.
"Sufiyan, tumne kaha tha ki jab tum bade ho jaoge, toh tum is drawing ko poora karoge," Ritika ne muskurate hue kaha, lekin uski aankhon mein aansu chamak rahe the.
Sufiyan ne wo kaghaz liya. Uska dil bhar aaya. "Maine ise poora nahi kiya Ritika, kyunki mujhe laga ki meri zindagi ka sabse khoobsurat rang (color) toh chala gaya."

Tabhi, salon ke bahar ek zor ka dhamaka hua. Professor X ke naye gunde, jo "Silent Blades" ke naam se jaane jaate hain, wahan pahunch chuke the. Unka leader, jisne chehre par mask pehna tha, andar dakhil hua.
"Sufiyan! Tumne Tokyo mein hamare boss ko hara kar bohot badi galti ki hai. Aaj hum tumhare us 'Divine Hand' ko hamesha ke liye kaat denge jisse tum ye magic karte ho!"
Sufiyan ne Ritika ko apne piche chhupa liya. Usne apni Golden Scissors nikali, lekin wo aaj pehle ki tarah chamak nahi rahi thi. [System Warning: Emotional Distress detected. Magic Power reduced by 40%.]
Sufiyan ko ehsas hua ki Ritika ke samne hone se uska dil kamzor pad raha hai. Kya wo is naye dushman se lad payega ya uska bachpan ka pyar uski sabse badi kamzori ban jayega?
