Naina said, "Aryan, relax, breath in and breath out."

Aryan did as instructed. Soon he felt he was losing his control over his body and felt that he is in some sort of trance.

Naina pointed out to Abdul, "Give me that vessel."

Abdul handed over a huge saucepan with a transparent lid. Naina smiled. "Just wait and watch Abdul; how this engineer will work like a robot on my command."

Though Abdul had doubts over her techniques of hypnosis but he didn't speak a word. Hitesh had fought for his brother's land dispute case in Mumbai whose verdict was pending from many years.

Naina had stayed in Pune to take care of his pregnant daughter during Abdul's constant trips from Mumbai to Pune.

Abdul was a former patient of depression when his wife had left him to other world. He had a soft corner for Aryan. Naina had treated Abdul and the doctor patient relation blossomed to friendship.

It was her character which Abdul immensely respected her. Naina had understood that without a small trial, they wouldn't be able to trust her.

She instructed Aryan, "listen to me carefully. Untie your shoelaces."

Abdul was shocked. "Nain-"

Naina gave him an assuring look. Aryan untied his shoelace. Naina looked at him with a satisfactory nod. "Now place your shoes in this saucepan. Don't forget to close the lid."

Aryan lifted his shoes and placed it inside the saucepan. He closed the lid. Naina instructed him again, "pick up the saucepan and kept it on the table."

Aryan quietly picked it up and placed it on the table. Naina had performed her experiment. Now Aryan was supposed to come out of his hypnosis.

"Aryan, relax, breath in and out," she said for few times and eventually Aryan came out of hypnosis.

Naina asked him, "how does it feel Aryan."

Aryan looked surprised. "What? What do you mean by how does it feel? Did you actually do something?"

Abdul was shocked. "But Aryan you did as Naina was instructing you. You untied-"

He stopped as Naina raised her left palm. Naina exclaimed, "Aryan! Where are your shoes?"

Aryan was aghast. "My shoes! Where are they? Sameera had selected those shoes."

Naina sighed. He spoiled all the fun by mentioning her name.

"Look into that saucepan."

Aryan gave her a are-you-kidding-me look. He opened the lid to find his shoes. "My shoes! What are they doing over here?"

Naina shrugged. "We don't know. You kept the shoes in it."

Aryan narrowed his eyes. "I don't believe you."

Naina shook her head. "I knew it. Abdul bhai, please show him the CCTV footage."

They went to the adjacent room, lead by Abdul, and stood in front of a computer. Abdul showed the footage to Aryan.

Aryan watched it with wide eyes. "I am not so dumb," he concluded.

"I made you behave like a lunatic."

Aryan glared at Naina. "If keeping one's shoe in a saucepan is your idea, then Raghav won't be dead."

Naina rolled her eyes. "I was giving you and Abdul a short introduction to hypnosis. You don't know in which all ways we can use it. This was just a sort of trailer. Picture abhi baki hai mere dost."
