This chapter reveals answers to the questions that linger in Robin's mind. How he escaped, how he landed in Goa and why Shreya is helping him. Does Shreya have any feeling for Robin? Who is the man? Answering it all....

*******************************************************************

Shreya's POV:

I could sense the fear and anxiety as Robin walked out of the club. I don't know why he is scared. All i could see was utter dread in his eyes. Within a few minutes of conversation before i left the club, he scurried past through the thick crowd. I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He ran out frantically as if he is possessed. I abruptly cut the conversation with the person who I had an important dealing with, but Robin needed attention too. After all he was my new client and he was rich. I could tease him and he would respond so neatly. It felt so nice to be with a young boy who looked good and also had tonnes of cash at his back. A perfect one to make money out of. But I feel a strange attraction to him. Its the same way I had for my husband once. The look in Robin's eyes were dragging me to him. Its not the culture in India to date a younger one, but i guess i could have possibilities with this one.

Thinking all this, I pushed myself through the cocaine-fed crowd and got to the other end of the club. The air was filthy and stuffed with smoke from the hookah pipes. I felt suffocated. I took out the asthma inhaler from under my dress, resting between the sheath of my inner wear and bosoms, which was the safest place for any Indian woman. I took multiple inhalations and drifted my way out into the open. I kept the inhaler back in its place. I searched for my car. It was no where nearby. The whisky that went down to my stomach sent nerve signals of nausea up, to my head. I took my phone and quickly called my driver. I leaned onto one of the pillars and waited for my driver to rush to the spot.

My driver came in a jiffy. He took less than 2 minutes to drive halfway through the club's width. I opened the back seat only to find Robin, already snoring. He was fully asleep. I pushed him aside and sat at the edge. He didn't bulge. I had no other way. I took his head and kept it on my lap. I asked the driver to drop us at our place and then retire for the day. At a signal in Anjum, I saw a couple making out in full swing. I turned my gaze to the kid on my lap. He looked so cute when he was asleep. I had a soft corner for this guy. I don't know why, he seemed to be only a mystery.

We reached our house. Shit, how am I gonna take him in? I asked help from the driver. He carried Robin's arm on his shoulder and carried him onto my bedroom. Oops, I have to sleep with this guy!. Chuckling, I greeted the driver Goodnight and made my way to the bathroom. The fluid that was bubbling inside made me very uncomfortable. I could sense something making it's way up to my neck. I gulped it. It rose with much more pressure and it gave way out of my mouth. My party dress was now all covered with my puke. I gotta change, oh gawd.

I quickly changed onto a grey top and denim shorts, which was usually my favourite outfit to bed. I jumped onto my bed and saw Robin's face once again. It was filled with innocence. I could not help but smile at the way I was watching him.

I don't remember when I slept, but when I woke up, a strange sound buzzed onto my ears. It was my message notification. Oh! How I hated it. What were people doing on earth. Can't they just keep this in silent, ugh!. I woke up wearily. My head was hurting really bad. It was like as if someone took Thor's hammer and nailed me in my the head. I managed to pull myself out of bed. The world was spinning in front of me. In spite of all this, I put up the strength to crawl out of the bed. With my eyes half open, I caught hold of the wooden table beside my bed. As soon as I woke up I couldn't control the actions that my body was up to and in no time I fell down with a huge thud.
Robin came running from( I don't know where ) and caught hold of my shoulders. I managed to ask him to leave me alone and I walked up wearily to the washroom. I let the whitish fluid make its way out once again just like it did yesterday night. Reaching out for the aspirin tablet from the closet near the washbasin and tossed two inside my mouth. I opened the washroom door to see Robin holding a towel and a glass of water in his hands. But something was different about him. His eyes were strained and looked bloodshot. He had emptiness in them. I walked over to him and picked up the glass of water and swallowed the pills in my mouth. I sprinkled water and wiped my face.
"Who was that man with you? Why were you even with him?",he asked blankly. I observed him. He was drained of his charm and all he had carrying in his eyes was a feeling of betrayal. Why was he asking about him??
Shivering, I answered, "It....It was.... It was one of my clients...."
"Why do you want to lie Shreya?",he asked me with grudge radiating put through his eyes. This was not the Robin I met. This person was devoid of any life. I didn't know what to tell. What did he mean by that I was lying? What answers did he want from me.?
"I am not lying , Robin. He is just my client....", I told with fear wrapping it's arms around me.
"Really? That's why you had to sit on him and let him own you?",he asked as if he owned me. Who was he to tell me? Why is he doing this? To clear my confusion, I asked,
"Who are you to decide that Robin? One smile and you think I am your girlfriend? Why do you care? I am helping him the same way I helped you. You don't dare talk to me like that.", I shouted at him so that whatever I told would barge into his otherwise chilled out mind.
"Oh okay. I never meant to see you as my girlfriend ok.? I do have feelings for you. For a person like you, everyone would have. But all I wanted is some care. And a that I have is you now Shreya. I'm not questioning you about your businessman but... Ok sorry Shreya. I have so much grievance against him that's why I had blurted out like that. If you were my mom I would not have let you do that".
That hurt me. The last line did. I thought about my girl back home. At my ex husbands home. But what did he have to do with that man?

"How...how do you know Mr.Bagadia?",I asked with much hesitation.

"He was my dad once.",he said calmly with tears rolling down his cheek...
"Wait, what do you mean by 'was your dad'?",I asked with confusion overwhelming me.
He was crying now. I reached up to him and held him in my arms. He cried even more intensely. He cried like a kid. He moved away from me and went into the drawing room. He was leaning against the table that was raised to keep books.
It was all confusing for me to interpret. I wanted answers. I wanted to give him answers too. I grazed my path towards him. I placed my palm on his shoulder. He jolted and turned over. He wiped the tears that adorned his face. He was much hesitant to speak so i let him to be in the state that he was.
"How did I even get here? You told you'll tell me about it.. after the party. Why did you get me here?"
"Umm Robin sit down. We'll talk now. Let me get some coffee for us", I told as I strolled to the coffeemaker that overheard our conversation from the kitchen.
"Stop. I'm not hungry now. I need you to tell Shreya. I do have the right to know",he blurted out as he caught my left wrist.
"Fine", I took a deep breath and exhaled. "See as I told you, you were going to be administered with a heart attack. Do you remember when your lips went dry and you asked for water?"

"Yes. What of that?", he asked and his blue eyes were now eager to listen to his story...

"I bribed the assistant warden and asked him to mix ********* with your water. It's colourless and gets dissolved in water. When given in high doses, it momentarily stops your heart. I got it imported from California by my acquaintance who manufactures this for bypass heart surgery. I actually created you a mini myocardial fake infarction. Well, the prison doctor is my client and he acted according to my instructions. I asked him to make a panic situation so that Singh doesn't smell foul. Like I told you, her weak point is the heart. And I hit her right there. Its the best way to keep her still. She would have easily let you go. The doctor specially mentioned her not to come and asked her to send people to Fortis Escorts. He even faked a call to the head Indian heart surgeon. He did it so well. Well he took you out of the prison and reached the highway. He hit the driver and took his place and drove to Gurgaon. He asked the nurse to ditch you in a small cubicle down the same highway. The nurse was offered a premier job as a doctor, for this, and she carried it out cleanly. You were administered with the antidote for the drug you were given at the prison. By the time Devika and her men left the prison quarters, you were smuggled to a lone helicopter pad almost 7km away from Delhi. I took you in my personal helicopter and brought you here. So how was the ride to Goa.??", I smirked, wanting him to be bewildered by the sane execution of my plan..

Robin took some time to digest the information that I presented to him. He was bewildered, as I expected.

"Shreya...Shreya i don't know how to thank you... I am really ... I don't know what to say. But, wouldn't I be caught once again? I did a PRISON BREAK!!", he looked so worried I felt so sorry for him.

"Well that's why I'm with you, to hide you from the police, and your "was a dad once" is helping me do that", I told him, smiling so that he feels better.

"Hmm, okay. Take rest Shreya. You have done so much for me. I'll make coffee for you?" , he asked courteously. He looked so cute. I managed to get back the Robin's charm that probably went on a week-end vacation. "Sure. I'll just catch up with some news now. Come and join me in the couch with double cappuccino", I loved to make others do things for me, it's a special feeling. When someone does things willingly for you, showing how much you mean to them.

I switched on my 42 inch LED Samsung TV and tuned to Times Now, the best place to hunt newly fed gossips. There was an Audi expo that was telecasted live. It was boring as shit so i surfed through other channels. Something caught the corner of my eye. My sweat buds got an extra supply of blood and it poured out all the secretions of my face. I bit my nails. I couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of me. Panicking, I got up and ran towards the care-free Robin who was making delicious coffee for me.

"Hey what's the matter Shreya. You look beaten. Any problem. Have the coffee and it'll calm you.", he told as he stretched out the coffee cup.

I was fretting and out of control I hit the coffee tray and both the glasses broke.

"We are so screwed Robin. Come with me!", I pulled him out to show what was going on in the channel that I was watching now. "Oh my...my... I never expected th...this.....", he quivered as he knew that the odds were never in his favour
