She hugged him tightly clutching his shirt in her tiny palms. Mahir raised his hand to hold her back but couldn't due to hesitation.
He inhaled in deeply grabbing bela's attention after which she broke the hug.

'Aap...aap ko kaise pata main yahan hoon?' Bela spoke muffling her deep breathes that has caused due to excess running.

'Mujhe tumhare ghar se phone aaya tha. Su...kya naam bataya tha...' Mahir replied to her but was cut off in his mid sentence by bela.

'Suhani?' bela asked.

'Haan...usi ka phone aaya tha; ussne bataya mujhe. Tum yeh batao tum yahan itni raat ko kya karrahi ho?' Mahir frowned and asked bela while folding his hands on his chest.

As soon as Mahir mentioned it, Bela began to recapitulate the farmhouse's incident. She closed her eyes in fear and grabbed Mahir's arm tightly.

'Mahir sir...woh...Main...main dekha ki....' Bela couldn't form words as they were swallowed by her long, uneven breathes.

Mahir noticed the uneasiness in her.

'Bela relax! Batao tumne kya dekha? Kahan thi tum?' He asked her calmly holding her arms to provide some comfort.

She cooled a bit in his touch.

'Maine...maine aapko bataya tha na ki hamari office se hi kisi ne file leak karwai hai! Maine ek employee ko baat karte huay suna tha ki woh yahan aane waala hai, woh kisi ko saare files dene waala tha. Main usska chehra nahi dekh paayi. Aapke nikalte hi maine usska peecha kiya aur maine wahan...farmhouse....' She frowned and gulped the saliva in her throat after explaining everything to Mahir.

'Farmhouse? Tum farmhouse gayi thi?' Mahir frowned.

'Haan...aap...aap jante hain woh jagah?' Bela asked looking directly into his eyes in confusion.

'Ofcourse bela; woh mera farmhouse hain!' Mahir replied.

'Aapka farmhouse?' Bela frowned.

'Hmm...wahin dad ka murder hua tha' He said looking at the other side, clenching his jaws. 'Tab hi se woh farmhouse band hai, wahan koi nahi jaata!' Mahir turned back and looked at bela.

'Lekin maine uss aadmi ko wahin jaate huay dekha hai! Main usske saath andar tak bhi gyi thi aur....aur maine dekha ki..' She explained him entire thing she'd seen in the farmhouse. 'Aur yeh red file bhi...'She looked at her hand to show him the file but  frowned when realisation dawned upon her that she'd left the file in the farmhouse itself.

'Have you lost it? Tumhein idea hai tum kya bolay jaarahi ho? Woh mera farmhouse hai, bhalay hi wahan ab koi nahi rehta lekin isska matlab yeh nahi hai ki ussko ek bhoot bangla bana do tum' Mahir spoke in a serious tone. 'And I don't know tum yeh sab kahania q bana rahi ho.' Mahir continued to say, nodding his head in disbelief.

'Mera yakeen kariye Mahir sir. Maine sachmein wahan yeh sab dekha hai. File thi wahan pe. Main gyi thi andar. I swear.' Bela tried to make mahir believe in her.

'Acha. Toh kahan hai file?' Mahir asked folding his hands on his chest.

Bela looked down, not knowing what to say.

'Chalo wahan Chalke dekh hi lete hain' Mahir grabbed bela's wrist and began to walk towards the farmhouse.

'Nahi!' Bela took back her arms in fear causing him to  stop in his track and turn back.

'kyu? Tum toh sach keh rahi ho na. Tab problem hi kya hai? Chalke dekh hi lete hain!' Mahir grabbed her wrist again this time more tightly and bela couldn't take it back.

They stopped at the farmhouse and Mahir looked at Bela with distrust when they found the main gate locked.

'Gate se hi gayi thi na tum? Gate toh lock hai' Mahir questioned her.

'yeh..yeh khula hua tha.' Bela held the lock in her hands. 'Main sach mein andar gyi thi Mahir Sir, file ab bhi wahin hogi...main aapko woh room bhi dikhaungi jahan maine woh saari cheezein dekhi thi.'  Bela looked directly in his eyes.

'Theek hai chalo dekh hi lete hain' Mahir said frustrated removing a key from his pocket and unlocking the door, meanwhile he make sure to look at bela all the while and saw her expression changing into fear as the door opened, which he mistook.

They marched inside and bela held his wrist tightly as she somewhere knew that even if he's not trusting her, still she is safe with him.

Mahir looked at her and then at their hands, while bela looked forward unknown to the fact that the pair of eyes beside is staring her, but then mahir too broke the gaze.

Bela gasped when she saw the dining table, where she'd expected the file to be, was empty.

'File-kahan-hai-bela?' Mahir said stressing on each word and withdrawing his hand from her hold.

'Yahin...yhin...pe thi' Bela said looking at the dining table, but she looked up to see Mahir glaring at her with no trust in his eyes.

'Aap...Aap...mujhpe shak kar rahe hain?' Bela finally managed to speak out at it wasn't what she'd expected from Mahir in the span of two months they have been together.

'Points ko connect karte hain bela! Hamara presentation leak hua, woh presentation jisskey key points sirf tum jaanti thi aur main jaanta tha. Phir hamare hi ek employee ko tum suspect karti ho, aur koi bhi nahi karta. Ussko usake 'so called boss' se baat karte huye tumne suna aur kisi bhi ne nahi! Phir ek jhoot ka natak karne ka plan banati ho aur saare employees ko yeh kehne bolti ho ki humne doosra presentation ready kia hai; maine reason poocha tumne nahi bataya! Aagey, uss so called suspected aadmi ka peecha tum karti ho. AKELE! jabke tum mujhe bhi bol skti thi but you didn't! Aur phir mere farmhouse mein mere permission ke bina tum aati ho aur ek man garak kahani banane lgti ho taake koi tumko suspect na kare. Haina yahi plan tha na tumhara? Aur red file ka idea tumne isaliye diya na taake sab distracted rahey aur tum apna kaam araam se kar sako! Ab tum mujhe yeh bataogi ki kisske kehne pe tum yeh sab karrahi ho?' Mahir asked taking rounds around her and finally stop to look directly into her eyes, shooting daggers.

'Aap mere baare mein sach mein aesa sochte hain?' Bela asked while her eyes were on the verge of flowing.

Mahir feels a little pain in him after which he nods his head in disbelief and rubbed his temple with his fingers.

'Tumse main kal deal karunga Bela, office mein! Main kisi pe bina proper proof ke ilzaam nahi lagana chahta! Let's leave now!' He said and left the place while bela too left wipping the tears off her cheeks and biting her lips to control her sobs.

And the incident was witnessed by a man and a woman from the upper floor just infront of the room where bela saw Andy's picture.

'Pyar honay laga hai dono mein! Acha hai' A woman said with an evil smirk on her lips, whose face is unrevealed. She said looking at behit's retreating figure.

'Ab kal kya hoga!' A man asked.

'Hona kya hai? Hum jaisa chah rahay hain waesa hi horaha hai!' She said turning to face the man.

'Dono mein pyar hoga, aur phir ek dusre key raaz pata chalenge, aur phir nafrat! Maza aane waala hai!' She said in a psychotic tone while the man also smiled.
