Man: Did he fall for you.!??

Shanaya: I...... I don't know..!!!

Man: What did you say??? You.??? You don't know???? Where is your stupid deductions now.! That you are so proud of.?

Shanaya: Watch your tone Mister..! (She said raising her one eyebrow.!)

(She took out her gun and stood up and took 3 steps back and in a blink of an eye ihit her gun in the back of the head of the guy standing there..... he fell on the ground almost half unconscious..... he was wincing in pain.....)

: Why..?? W..what... d.did I.... do???

Shanaya: Next time when a job is assigned to you... hear it properly..! If HE instructed, you just have to act to hit... you just had to act to hit me.  You actually hit me and that's why I fell unconscious...

Man: He hit you for real...???? (He asked standing up)

: H..How... d..do you know???

Shanaya: You really thought I didn't see you so I won't recognize you.?

: H...how???

(Shanaya bent down .... went near his ears and whispered....)

Shanaya: Ask that to your cologne.!
(She said with her smirk and winked at him...)

Shanaya: Now you can faint....

: What?

Man: What.? How..?

(Shanaya just turned and hit his head in the same spot as earlier with her hand.... And this time he passed out..!)

Shanaya: There.... See.? I even gave him the permission to faint..... hence he fainted....

Man: Why.??

Shanaya: He is among those who learns it hard way.! So he learnt his lesson.! Let's move on....

Man: Why do I get a feeling that it was actually your way of showing me what will you do if I didn't act properly.!!?

(Shanaya smirked and said)

Shanaya: Samajhdar ko ishaara kaafi hai.!

Lady: You weren't joking when you said you are not the same but have gotten worst.!!!

Shanaya: Well you accepting it .! I will take it as a compliment.!

Man: You are a Psychopath.!! Just to prove your point and give me demonstration... You hit that poor guy.!

Shanaya: Correction: Not a Psychopath....  A High Functioning Sociopath.!!!
And what poor?? That guy hit me! So he got the taste of his own medicine... Tit for Tat.! Simple.....!

Lady: Anyways..... He will be taken care of.... But tell me Shanaya.... Do you really like Aditya..?

Shanaya: The hell?? Hey YOU,.... Control your girlfriend.! She is getting some weird thoughts in her head.!!!

(The man and lady looked at each other and seemed liked they came to a conclusion...)

Man: Alright... You rest.! SHE will take you to your room... we will talk later at dinner...

(He left the area )

Lady: So... let's go..!

Shanaya: After you..!

(They both were going towards Shanaya's room when Shanaya said)

Shanaya: Where is Priya?

Lady: Priya who.!???

Shanaya: C'mon.! Don't play innocent with me.! You are HIS girlfriend.!!! You can be anything but "Innocent"! (She said with a smirk)

Lady: Woah.!!!! You are just like HE described.! Anyways Priya is taking her SPA treatment.!!

Shanaya: WOW.!! That bitch is enjoying.!!!!

Lady: Aaaaand here we are.... this is your room and the room next to your room is Priya's.

Shanaya: Cool... Thanks....

Lady: Shanaya..... Tell me one thing honestly....

Shanaya: Honestly.???? What is it.?

Lady: You really like Aditya.... Don't you??

(Shanaya took a deep breath and said..)

Shanaya: Look...! Can you just leave it.!!!

Lady: Yes or No Shanaya.!!

Shanaya: Why..! Why do you want to know???

: She does.....

Shanaya: The hell.!!!!

(They both turned in the direction of the voice and Priya was standing there flashing her smile and folding her arms proudly....)

Shanaya: You bitch...! Get your ass over here you traitor....

(Priya ran from there and Shanaya was going behind her but the Lady hold her hand, Shanaya turned annoyed and asked...)

Shanaya: What.????

Lady: So you do like him..!

Shanaya: When did I say yes to that.!

Lady: You didn't deny it either..!

Shanaya: Just leave....

(She left her hand and was leaving but just then turned and said...)

Lady: You know... if you really like him.... believe me.! All 3 of us are really happy for you.!!!

Shanaya: 3??

Lady: Yes.! You got it right... 3.!!

Shanaya: O..okay.!!! Wh...whatever..! I.. I don't care.!!!

Lady: So you too stutter when lying or emotional ..?

Shanaya: Too???

Lady: I do too....

(She smiled and left... and Shanaya muttered)

Shanaya: Shit.!

(She went into her room and was about to close the door when someone stopped it by putting the foot in between..)

Shanaya: What.??

Priya: No shit taken.!!! Let me in....

(Priya pushed Shanaya aside and walked in and jumped on her bed.....)

Shanaya: Come in... come in.... just think of it as your own room.!!!!!

(Shanaya shut the door and came in making herself comfortable on the bed...)

Priya: You okay?

Shanaya: Ya.! Just.... (Sighs) Man.!! I hate it.!! I am stuck here... I don't know for how long.! But I need to get out of here....

Priya: I know.... that's why I came here...

Shanaya: At least you should have stayed out of it na.!!!

Priya: Listen.... we are in it together till the end.!!

Shanaya: Jihaan would be mad at you.... You know that.?

Priya: You are there na.... My fire brigade.!!! You will help me out.!
You can make anyone calm down.! You should now accept that you have that ability.!

Shanaya: Naah.... It's just the way one chooses the words to speak at the right moment and right amount... when all of them fall together in place at right time.... The nerves in the person's brain will catch the right signals and understand your point properly.....

Priya: Haaaaah....(she sighed getting tired....)
What was that.???

Shanaya: A simple explanation of what you call "ability".

Priya: Ph...leeeeeeease.......! "Simple".!!!! If this is your simple then what the hell is complex..???

Shanaya: Well..... in simple words..... Something that your unused brain won't get it.!!

Priya: Ouch.! That hurt.! Take it easy on your insulting habit.!

Shanaya: Old Habits Die Hard.!!!!

Priya: Show off.!!!

Shanaya: Anyways.... Any idea why this idiot got me here and summoned you here as well.!

Priya: Something related to Aditya.... I guess...

(Slow claps by Shanaya...)

Shanaya: Wow.! Genius.! I already know that.!! What did you do after coming here you dumdum.!!

Priya: Hey now... At least don't call me dumdum..!(she said pouting)
I don't have high tech observing skill like yours.! YOU tell me.... what have you deduced so far.... Cz I was enjoying my SPA treatment while you were getting beaten up.!

(Shanaya scoffed)

Shanaya: Beaten up.??? The only time I got hurt was when that stupid guy hit me from behind in the Back of my head.! That's it....

Priya: But I saw you had lot of blood everywhere.....

Shanaya: Girl... Who made you agent..!?? It was FAKE.!!! They had to make a video to send it to Aditya.... HIS girlfriend does wonders when it comes to makeup.! Don't you know that.?

Priya: wohho..!! Wow.!!! So..!? When will they send the video??

Shanaya: Sent already...

Priya: To?

Shanaya: Obviously.....  Aditya....

Priya: But we don't even know does he even care for you or not.! Cz as far as I know..... he would be the first person to think of you as a traitor.....

Shanaya: That's what you and everyone there and here thinks..... (she said smirking....)

Priya: O..O....! Shanaya........ What am I missing here....?

Shanaya: What? Nothing!

Priya : I can never go wrong with your smirk..... This evil smirk says it all.... speak up..! What is going on???

Shanaya stood up and checked every corner of the room... she knocked all the walls.. checks all the edges of all furniture, door knobs.....

Priya: What?

Shanaya: Can't trust those two!!

Priya: Okay now tell me.....

Shanaya: Nothing... I have left some clues for him.... I always do... just in case any of such situations arises like what happened this time... He can always get to me...

Priya: I don't know what should I call you..? Dumb or genius....

Shanaya: I prefer Genius!!

Priya: Sheeesh... Shanaya... This is called being overconfident!

Shanaya: This is called TRUST.!

Priya: How do you know that he will solve YOUR clues.?? Dude.! YOUR clues..!!! Do you understand? You literally took classes of ours just to understand how will you give clues to us in any mission.... Remember at our agency???

Shanaya: Yes I remember.! But trust me.... I know..... he will do it..! Only he will do it...!

Priya: When and how did you plant the clues.?

Shanaya: When I saw the men at the party I understood it was not meant for Aditya... they were there for me.... I tried and did couple of things that I would never do as his bodyguard who would be on duty to save him and while doing that I left some clues...

Priya: And you think he will get them.??? That's how much you love him.??

Shanaya: That's how much I trust him.!

Priya: Shanaya.... Trust is something that you have never given to anyone so easily.! Why him then.?

Shanaya: Cz he trusts me.!

Priya: You've got to be Kidding me.!! He trusts you??? Seriously? Wake up Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat.! Wake up.! Open your eyes... He doesn't even want to accept his feelings for you... open your eyes.... He will never trust you.... hence he will never..... get it clear never get to you by solving the clues..!

Shanaya: For how long do you know me Priya.?

Priya: Since childhood.! Why?

Shanaya: Tell me one thing you know for sure about me.!

Priya: You don't just say things like that....

Shanaya: Thank you... You have answer to your own question.!

Priya: Okay... Chalo for one instance Inthink that he will get to you..... But how will he get here?? Even we don't know where the hell are we!

Shanaya: He will get to the place where HIS guys drop us....

Priya: Will drop us??? You mean HE will let us go... By HIS own will...????

Shanaya: Listen.... I am not going to stay here until he decides what to do next..! Cz HIS logic of getting me here is baseless... Besides I have already played my move... that is enough for what HE actually wanted by this stupid kidnapping of mine.... And my move will give us results 100%.

Priya: Shanaya you are playing with fire here...

Shanaya: Sweetheart..... I AM FIRE.!!! People trying to think they can control my move... Are idiots!!! (She smirked)

Priya: Damn that smirk.....! What's next?

Shanaya: Dinner.... We need energy to act.!

Priya: To act.?

Shanaya: Obviously... Tomorrow morning when Aditya and Jihaan will find us... We should use our top notch skills of acting.!! (She winked)

Priya: Tomorrow morning??? You are sure that we will be out of here by tomorrow morning??  And also Aditya will be there by tomorrow morning???? You really think so???

Shanaya: Look you know how much I trust myself right???

Priya: Yes..... yes..... I know.... I know.... Your famous deductions...!!! Don't start it again ... (she said rolling her eyes and throwing her hands up in air)

Shanaya: Okay so ... I guess within few minutes we will be called for dinner!

Priya: How do you know?

Shanaya: HE is vey peculiar about timing....

Priya: I won't ask how do you know about that! Just tell me... how is he going to agree with you to leave us?

(Shanaya smirked and laid down on the bed resting her head on the headboard, Priya rolled her eyes and said getting annoyed )

Priya: Shanaya.... Main point please.... This Show off can be done later....

Shanaya: Well... I have my TRUMP CARD!!!

Priya: Now what is this TRUMP CARD.??

Shanaya: Not what? Ask Who??

Priya: So it's a person??

Shanaya: Of coarse.! Just wait and watch baby...!

(After few minutes there was a knock on the door and when they opened the door the guy said they have been called for dinner.... they both followed him and they entered into a dining area where food was arranged on the table and both MAN & LADY were waiting for them two....)

Lady: Hope you guys had some rest.... Please have a seat...

Shanaya: Sure...! Man am I hungry .!!! (She said with full of energy..)

Man: Wow.! I can see you are really enjoying the ocean breeze..! You are full of energy..!

Priya: Yes she is....

Lady: Let's start the food then...

(They are their food and were almost about to finish their dessert when Shanaya spoke...)

Shanaya: How is SHE.??

Man: Oh.! SHE is okay.! Getting better...

Shanaya: I wanna talk to HER.!

(The man chocked on HIS dessert.. the Lady went to HIM and started to pat on his back and gave him water...)

Man: cough..cough... You what now???

Shanaya: You heard me right? That's why you chocked... You want me to say it again so you can choke on water.?? (She said this and smirked)

Man: You know I can't do that...

Shanaya: You know I can call HER by myself.! (She smirked again)

Lady: Shanaya you are not doing that....

Shanaya: Then ask your boyfriend to just call HER....! Or you call HER.!! (She winked)

(The Man murmured under HIS breath)

Man: Shit!

Shanaya: Oh yes.!

Man: You heard that!?

Shanaya: I am too notch agent that is working for not. YOU and Top agency .!!! Show some respect dude.!

Man: Were.... You were working for them dear.  I saw the live feed of The Oberoi Mansion.... Your "Oldie" fired you from the agency and Aditya had taken back the contract form you guys.! Also he Hates you.! Now what will you do? How will you complete your mission.??? (He said laying back on his chair while smirking)

Shanaya: Heh (she smirked)
Must say.... I know Aditya can convince anyone by his acting skills but my oldie!!! He convinced you too that he actually thinks that I am a traitor and fired me..! (She clapped) I am so proud of my Oldie..!

Man: What do you mean.!?

Shanaya: Try and check the live feed now!

Man: Here you go... (he took out his phone... he tried to turn on a camera but all he could see was black screen...)

Shanaya: Yup.! Job done..!

Man: H...How.???

Shanaya: Sweetheart.... You have no idea how to deal with us... So don't mess with us.! Especially me..! Now c'mon call HER!!

Man: Can we talk alone with HER??

Shanaya: That's the tone I like..! Sure be my guest.... Let's talk to her alone... Ladies can you please excuse us.... Priya be ready in my room... We are leaving...

Man: You are NOT.!

Shanaya: Ooooo How do you know.!!! (She said with a smirk)

Lady: Good Luck dear... Cz I know what She is up to.... I don't know how you say that you know her cz as of how much I have known her... She is unpredictable.! And if she is saying that she is leaving.... Believe me... She is leaving...(she whispered this to the Man)

Alright see you later....

(They left and Man called HER and both had a brief conversation with HER. After ending the call HE sighed and called both HIS girlfriend and Priya...)

Man: (Sighs) Do some makeup on them and order our men at the deck to start arranging the things just like how it was in the video over there... these two are leaving.... I have ordered the captain to take us back.... they will be there by morning.... (and he laid his head on the table)

Shanaya: Yup..! Time for some makeup.... C'mon lady.... show us some skills...

Priya: Shanaya.!!!!! You seriously did it.!!!!

Shanaya: Told you.!

(Lady started doing their make up)

(Going back when all this was happening at the ship....... following  was happening at the Oberoi mansion after everyone left and went into their rooms..... Some men came and took off the cameras from all the corners of the house.... and all of them came back to the room where the party was held with Aditya having a white board and market)

Aditya: Done?? (Asking about the cameras)

Manav: Taken care of.!

Chief: How was my acting???

Aditya: Tussi chha gaye guru..!!!

SO: Seriously yaar Shekhawat..!! For an instance even I fell for it.!!! (He said laughing)

Jihaan: Damn man.! This acting is tough.!!!!

(Everyone was laughing and giving high fives to each other when Aditya cleared his throat grabbing everyone's attention)

Aditya: Okay.... So.... main thing... let's see what all of us noticed.... let's join our thoughts.... we can find a way out...

Manav: How are you so sure Aditya... I was trying to ask you this since you texted us.... How do you know??? That Shanaya didn't betray us?? How are you so sure that she did all this on purpose.!!?

Aditya: I Trust her....

SO: And that one sentence says it all.... (He said this genuinely smiling at Aditya)

Aditya: Okay let's go one by one... what odd did you find today....

Jihaan: I got a call and she talked on it saying it was for her??? Strange!!! As she will always answer her calls.! No ways can anyone call me for her... but this time it did... and that was strange....

(Aditya noted down that on the board)

Manav: She gave all of us the T-shirt saying it's from her... we all wore it..... but none of them were bulletproof..! I checked.... She was just showing that this attack is going to be like others.... but it was not....

(Aditya noted that down as well)

SO: She usually tells me everything in advance about which tricks or techniques she will be using in the attack..... if any happens.! So I am always aware what to do if anything goes wrong... but this time she just said ALERT and send me this sign 🏠 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

(Aditya looked at it and put it in the board)

Chief: She didn't even discussed with me.!!  I was present here and she didn't say anything to me... she used to call and tell me everything about how she got the information about the attack and what she plans on doing... this time nothing at all.... instead she made sure I get out of there...

(Aditya noted down that as well)

Aditya: Hmm... So looks like we all knew there was something off about this attack but we knew somewhere that Shanaya will handle it so we let it slide....

(All agreed)

Chief: Aditya you tell us.... what do you think...  What was off this time? And how did you figured out that she was giving you some clues cz that's what you texted us.....

Aditya: Manav grab the pen for me please and try and note down everything I say... we need to crack the clues ...

(Manav came by the board and Aditya went in the middle..)

Aditya: Okay so first and foremost..... the KISS...! There is no way Shanaya would kiss me like that if she wanted to kiss me..!

(Everyone smirked on that.... His father asked)

SO: As you know how she will kiss you if and when she will!???

Aditya: Don't get off the track dad....

SO: I am not... you are.... look at your face all flushed red.!!! (He laughed)

Aditya: Aaaaanyways..... after I went into my room I wiped my lips as I saw there was some lipstick on my lips..... I wiped it and saw that there was something weird about it.! As when I saw Shanaya in the beginning her lipstick color was mild red..... this color was blood red.! That means something is wrong.!

(Manav noted that down)

Then let's see.... everything she was doing today was wrong..... her way of handling the situation was completely opposite.... That is not how I am habitual of watching Shanaya fight.... she was in the back... then I started to notice what she was actually doing....

She was not looking at the attackers .... but actually looking at the cameras we have.... after thinking about it I figured out she might be signaling me that someone was watching us..! That's why I texted you to act after coming home as I didn't wanted to talk... you never know we could have been bugged... but we checked later and no bugs were found on us...!

(Manav noted that down)

Okay other thing was..... when she was pulling me back while defending.... you see that ... she was not attacking... she was defending... which is odd in itself... after looking at the attackers every time she was looking to our left....
To our left.... to our left...

(Saying this he went at the place were everything happened and stood at his place.... he looked to the left... there was a dresser over there... he went to the dresser and started to look into all the drawers one by one...... in the last drawer he just found a picture of a beach.! A picture that they took while they shot their first ad.!
That was a set but it was at a beach...... he tried to remember everything about that location but he didn't remember that beach having a store room or an old room with very dirty background..!! He came back to everyone and everyone surrounded him...)

SO: Oh it is the picture you guys took at your ad shoot...!! You look so in love..!!

Chief: Why don't you two agree already that you two are in love.!!

Aditya: Guys.... Not the right time for all this....

Manav: What does she mean by this.....

Jihaan: This means we have to check all the beaches!??

Aditya: Not all.....  check the beaches that have this kind of warehouse or old room or house or anything that is dirty, dark and just one window in the room...

Jihaan: How do you know that??

Aditya: Oh! I forgot to show you all... they sent me a video....

(Aditya showed them the video and everyone got shocked looking at how Shanaya was tied up and the blood that was oozing out from her wounds)

Manav: I will make sure they pay for what they have done..!

Jihaan: This is just too much.!!! Why are they doing this???

SO: Poor Shanaya.!! We need to find them and I will make sure that police give them severe punishment.!

Chief: Let me see the video....
(He saw it and said)

Chief: Ya... Aditya is right we need to check which beaches have place like this..!

Jihaan: I am on it....

(While Jihaan was trying to get the beaches who had that place similar to the place in the video here others were talking something important)

SO: I don't understand one thing..... if Shanaya knew this would happen...... Why did she let it happen?

Aditya: She knew the plan that was discussed with her I guess... But they changed it at the last moment.... That's why she called the ambulance.! That action was not in the plan also her getting hit was not the part of the plan too...... this whole attack was planned for something else..! I just have to figure out the actual reason behind this......

Manav: But why didn't she tell me.... ?? She knew I will trust her... instead she left clues for you..! The last person to think of.... (he said rolling his eyes)

Aditya: Cz she trusts me..! She knew I know her well and will figure out her clues and will get to her.... she knows that you and Jihaan trust her cz you show..! I don't show but somewhere my actions speaks more than my words.... and she knows that...... so this answers your question.....

Chief: Wow.! Didn't knew you guys know each other so much.... also ... this trust thing you are talking about..! Feel privileged that Shanaya has given her trust in you..! She never does so easily....

SO: Same goes for Aditya's trust... but he started trusting her since day 1..!

Chief: Day 1???

SO: Yes.! He gave his tears to Shanaya.!!!

Aditya: You were there.????

SO: This is my house kid.! I can go wherever I want to go and whenever I want to go..!

(That's when Jihaan came)

Jihaan: Got it.... 3 beaches in total......

Aditya: Great.! Each of us will go to three different beaches..... whoever finds Shan ... call other two..! Uncle you stay here with dad.!

Chief: Seems like you are a complete different Aditya when it comes to Shanaya.!!!! You never do such things... like planning a strategy and all....

Manav: I want to add a lot in this but after we find Shanaya.... so keep this topic and discussion open... it will be continued.....

SO: All I will say is ... Shanaya is rubbing off on you.!!! And I am liking it.....

Aditya: As Manav said .... to be continued... got to go....

SO: It's almost morning..... go after sunrise....

Aditya: No time dad.... there can't be sunrise for me without my sunshine.....

(And they left deciding who will go to which beach......)

SO: And he says he don't like her.!!!

Chief: He is right... He don't like her..... He LOVES her.!!! (They high fived again and laughing they went into the house)
