This earned Mundit a deathly glare from Naina, which made them quiet almost instantly. Everyone then went away to drop each other, and all of them were really happy to think that this all was finally over. Praying for everything to now go happily, and correctly they all started their drive towards their destinations.

Samaina were on their way back to Naina's mansion when suddenly Naina's head started paining.

Naina - ( massaging her head )

Sameer - Kya hua Naina? Tum theek toh ho?

Naina - Haa Sameer has thoda headache hai.

Sameer - Fir main tumhare ghar pe ruk jau Swati Preeti ke aane tak?

Naina - Nahi Sameer koi zaroorat nahi hai normal sa headache hai theek ho jaega.

Sameer - Aur agar tabiyat zyaada kharab ho gayi toh? Isliye behtar yahi hoga ki main ruk jau tumhare paas.

Naina - Nahi Sameer. Maine kaha na main theek hu aur doctor ne tumhe rest karne ke liye kaha hai toh please tum apne ghar jao. Is waqt tumhe aram ki bahut zaroorat hai.

Sameer - Par.....

Sameer was going to say something but was interrupted by a phone call.

Sameer - ( *picking up the phone* ) Hello. Haa. Theek hai main thodi der mein pahunchta hun.

Naina - Kya hua Sameer?

Sameer - Wo Naina Souvik ka call aya tha, office mein kuch sudden kaam agaya hai. Kuch log aye hain bol rahe hai kuch zaroori baat hai toh milna chahe hain.

Naina - Acha theek hai fir tum jao main chali jaungi.

Sameer - Aree nahi ruko main tumhe ghar tak chhodd deta hun hum pahunchne hi wale hai.

Naina - Maina kaha na Sameer tum jao yaha se aur bas thodi dur pe hi ghar hai main chali jaungi.

Sameer - Maine bola na

Naina - ( *Interrupting* ) Tum ja rahe ho ki main tumhe shoot karu firse? -_-

Sameer - Kya?! Kaisi ho yaar tum achanak se hi dhamkane lag jati ho.

Naina - ( *Toothy smile* ) Acha theek hai yaha utaro mujhe aur jao tum office aur haa jaldi ghar chale jana tumhe rest ki bahut zaroorat hai. Thik hai?

Sameer - Okie madam. Naina devi ka hukam sarankho par ( *wink* )

Naina - ( Slapped his arm and got out of the car ) Jao abhi.

Sameer - Bye. Jaldi milenge( *waving* )

Naina - ( *blushing slightly* ) Bye.

Sameer smiled at Naina for one last time before driving off towards his office. Naina too started walking towards her mansion. Though she was still having the headache, she kept walking, hoping to lay down and rest on her bed as soon as possible.

She reached her hand out to fetch her phone from her pocket. She searched the left pocket and the back pockets but was unable to find her phone, for a moment she was shocked to think that she has probably dropped it somewhere. But then visibly relaxed on finding it in the right pocket.
Just then realisation struck her and she again started desparately searching for something .

Naina - Shit. Lagta hai main apna gun Sameer ki gaadi mein hi chhodd ayi hun. Koi baat nahi Sameer ko call karke bol deti hu wo kal le ayega.

She was about to call him but found that her battery was already dead.

Naina - Yaar kya ho raha hai yeh? Battery ko bhi abhi khatam hona tha? Ab aage kya hoga mujhe raaste par chalte chalte white colour Saree wali chudail mil jaegi? Proper horror movie. -_- 

Naina - Chhoddo jaldi ghar pahunch kar phone charge karke bas sona hai abhi aur kuch nahi chahiye.

Naina kept walking towards her house, and soon enough walked into a mist like thing. But she was so engrossed in her thinking that couldn't notice it. But gradually as she kept walking through the mist, her headache started getting worse.
She started staggering and was now unable to walk properly.

Naina - Yeh ho kya raha hai? Zaroor is mist mein hi kuch problem hai. Zaroor koi zehrilli gas milayi gayi hai.

Just then realisation hit her.

Naina - Ek minute par abhi toh sardiyan ayi nahi hain toh yeh mist kaha se? Mujhe pehle hi yeh sochna chahiye tha. Mujhe jald se jald yaha se nikalna hoga par ye headache. Ugh!!! ( *screeched* )

Thinking this Naina tried to run away from the place but the moment she took a step, two men who were wearing gas masks came infront of her and started walking towards her.
One ran towards her and was about to punch Naina but Naina skillfully blocking his hand punched his nose, making it bleed. The man stumbled back but came back again, he tried to hold Naina by her neck and choke her but before he could do it, Naina twisted his hand and pushed him to the ground. But with passing time , the vision of Naina was getting blurred and she knew that she had not much time before she would pass out as an effect of the unknown gas. So to end this as soon as possible, Naina pulled the man up by the collar and started continuously punching him. By now he had a broken nose, a chipped tooth and a bleeding head with blood dripping from his face. Naina again punched him and taking out a sharp knife, that she used to carry just in case, was about to stab him. But as soon as she applied all the force to stab him, her eyes got widened in shock and she, falling down on her knees, passed out within a second. And behind her was standing the first man who had not taken part in the fight, with an iron rod in his hand and a smug smirk on his face.

Sameer's office :

Sameer - Bolo Souvik kya baat hai.

Souvik - Sir wo kuch log apse milne aye hain. Keh rahe hain ki kuch zaroori baat karni hai apse.

Sameer - Toh Souvik unse meri call par baat karwa dete. Tumne bas itni si baat karne ke liye mujhe yaha tak bulaya?

Souvik - Nahi sir wo dono mane nahi kaha ki wo log apse company se aur Naina mam se related kuch important baat karna chahte hain.

Sameer - ( *To himself* ) Naina se related? Kya baat ho sakti hai?

Sameer - ( *nodding* ) Thik hai. Kaha hai wo log?

Souvik -  Sir conference room mein.

On getting the information, Sameer started walking towards the conference room, while his mind was thinking about all the possibile informations those men might be having.

Sameer - ( *Entered the room* ) Kaun ho tum log? Aur kya kaam hai?

Person 1 - Aao Sameer Maheshwari tumhara hi intezaar tha hume pata tha tum aoge zaroor.

Sameer - O bhaisahab pehle toh yeh office mera hai aur tum logo ne mujhe bulvaya hai aur dusri baat mere paas zyaada waqt nahi hai zaya karne ke liye toh tum logo ko jo bhi baat bolni hai jaldi bolo. Nahi ho dafa ho jao.

Person 2 - ( Whispering in the person 1's ear ) Bhai yeh Sameer Maheshwari toh baato se hi bhari pad raha hai hamare upar jaldi wo baat bata kar nikalte hain nahi toh zinda nigal jaega ye hume. ( *gulped* )

Person 1 - ( *nodded* ) Thik hai thik hai pehle hamari baat suno. Apne dushman se dosti karne chale the? Naina Agarwal tumhari dost kabhi nahi ban sakti aur hamare paas proof tak hai. Wo dhoka de rahi hai tumhe.

Sameer - Bullshit! Kya proof hai is baat ka tum logo ke paas?

Person 1 - Malhotra's ke saath kuch din baad teri ek meeting hai na? Ek foreign company ke saath partnership ke liye? Jo tumhare research ke hisaab se kuch din baad bahut aage jane wali hai market mein. Aur agar yeh baat dusri companies ko pata chal gayi toh wo log tumse tumse better deal offer karne ki koshish karenge jis se tumhari company ko nuksan bhi ho sakta hai. Isliye tumne yeh baat secret rakhi thi. Par ek galti kardi Naina Agarwal ko batadiya.

Sameer - Agar Naina ne tum logo ko yeh sab bataya tha toh kisi aur ke paas jakar is news ko batakar paise na kamake tum log yaha kyu aye ho?

Person 1 - Wo kya hai na underworld mein hum logo ke bhi kuch usool hain aise hi kisike bhi fayde ke liye kuch bhi batane nahi chale jate aur fir yeh toh apki izzat aur betrayal ka sawal tha toh hum kaise bata dete?

Person 1 - Thik hai chalte hain ab hum. Naina Agarwal se zara puchiega kyun dhoka diya usne apko ya fir kya pata ab se wo apke calls hi na uthaye dar kar aur fir apse kabhi mile hi na. ( *smirks* )

Saying this both of them left the room leaving Sameer alone who was trying hard to control his rage. His anger was on the edge and had not much time before breaking the barriers. Sameer fisted his hands and immediately called Souvik.

Sameer - Abhi jo do log mere office se nikle un dino ko pakdo aur wo log mujhe zinda chahiye. Agar yeh nahi chahte ki meri gun ki goli tumhare dimaag ke aar paar chali jaye toh pakdo un logo ko JALDI.

Souvik - ( *shivering due to fear* ) J-ji S-sir.

Sameer said and kept the receiver down ( It was a landline ). He was extremely angry on hearing that Naina had dared to betray him and share the information with somebody else. He started walking angrily in the room. He picked up the glass of water to drink to calm himself but because of anger, he threw the glass into a corner of the room breaking it into a million pieces.

Sameer - ( *pulling his hair in frustration* ) Maine kaise Naina ko apne upar itna control karne diya? Mujhe pehle hi samajh jana chahiye tha ki dushman kabhi dost nahi ban sakte. Par miss Naina Agarwal tum shayad bhool gayi ki main kaun hun. And now I will not spare you for what you did.

Saying this to himself Sameer immediately called Munna.

Munna - Haan bhai bol kya hua?

Sameer - Naina. She betrayed us.

Munna - Kya? Naina? Wo kyun aisa karegi?

Sameer - Mujhe nahi pata par usne kiya hai.

Munna - Bhai koi galat fehmi hui hogi tujhe

Sameer - Nahi Munna koi galat fehmi nahi hai par jo thi wo durr ho gayi

Munna - Par hua kya hai?

Sameer - ( said everything that had happened in the room ) Yeh sab pata chala mujhe

Munna - Tu-tu pagal hai? Mana ki use yeh sab nahi karna chahiye tha  par jo information usne di hai wo itni bhi important nahi thi matlab bas itne se loss se hamari company ka kuch nahi bigad sakta.

Sameer - Nahi Munna important ho ya na ho a betrayal is a bloody betrayal aur ab Naina ko uski barbaadi se koi nahi bacha sakta. Use pata nahi hai ki kisko feelings ke saath khela hai usne.

Munna - Par Sameer....

But before Munna could say anything Sameer disconnected the call and threw his phone breaking it into two parts.

Sameer - ALL THE BEST MISS NAINA AGARWAL ( A lone tear fell from his eye ).

• ───────•••─────── •

This much for today.

What do you think will Sameer try to find out if this is true or not? Or his anger will overpower all his senses breaking Samaina's bond forever?

Yaar in dono ko koi akela kyun nahi chhodd sakta? ( *crying emoji* )
