Things in Mumbai started to become complicated as a man walked into Naina's clinic after Aryan had left.

"Doctor, I don't know whether you remember me or not, but we have met before."

Naina looked puzzled. Maybe he was one of his previous patients who had undergone the treatment from her. But he did seem oddly familiar.

"Maybe, so... I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you, Sir, your name?"

"Shahid," he replied, coldly.

She paused. Shahid? Why does this sound so familiar. More like a family member?

"So Shahid, what's bothering you?"

"Doctor, it's like when my wife was fourteen, she was kidnapped by a local goon and sold to Aashish. She was forced to work as female escort or to use much better term- call girl."

Naina looked at him with horror.

He continued, "She stayed there for a month. Raped by many unknown men. She was tortured thrice for opposing him and trying to escape. But her father found her whereabouts with help of his contacts. She and other women in the 'hostel'- as they would call it, were rescued.

Since Aashish was an important person and a retired Colonel decided to take things in his hands, the things became very complicated and worse. According to the news channels, my wife's 'reputation' was lost. They had filed a case which of course Aashish won. Yet her father wanted to take revenge. Before he could do so, he fled to UAE."

Naina sighed. "Now her father wants revenge? Or you want to take revenge?"

Shahid smiled. "I want to take revenge."

"That explains it but why you? I mean your father-in-law can take revenge?"

"That's because he has given up since my wife has forgiven them. She is happy thinking that Aashish ran from Mumbai because of her."

"So, what's the point coming here?"

"I usually tell each and everything to my wife. But this one thing, this one thing, I won't be able to share with her. That's why I came to confess the crime I am going to commit. Without leaving behind any clues."

"You are going to kill him?"

"Yes doctor."

"How can you trust me?"

Shahid paused for a moment. "I trust you and that's suffice."

Naina raised her eyebrow. "That's suffice? Well, how are you planning to murder him?"

"I am sorry doctor, I am not supposed to reveal that."

"You have revealed half truth to me. Do you even know that it will cost your life?"

"Yes, I am completely aware of that fact. I am also aware that my wife was raped by Aashish too. He raped her because he was suffering from AIDS. Don't worry, my wife has been tested negative," he replied. He took out a small card from his pocket. "Here's the number of that rapist's personal doctor. You might need this because he is same one who treats Raghav too. This person will be strong evidence against Sugandha's case."

Naina looked at him with puzzled face. "W-why would I care about Raghav? Sugandha? What do you know about her?"

"Because I know who killed Raghav. I know who hypnotized him."

Naina stood up, aghast. "Who are you?"

"I am more like a family member. But I am upset with you, Dr. Naina. Why didn't you come to meet Fatima all this while?"

She opened her mouth but couldn't find any words coming out. Shahid left the place.

"Fatima, I know there's something of your past that has been bothering you. I don't know what that thing is. I don't even want to know. But during pregnancy, it's common to get such mood swings. You'll feel like crying which is quite normal. For the sake of your baby, you should try to remain strong."

She looked at Naina, with weak watery smile. "Some incidents from past leaves a deep scar in your life. No matter how much you try, you cannot escape it, Dr. Naina."
