Abhi's Pov

"Then what do you want?"I asked her lowering my head.I can't look into her eyes it's a tough task.

"Will you accompany me to US?I have a meeting with my investors in coming week and it's very important for me.I want your help."She asked me looking into my eyes.

"What?"I felt something really fishy.

"It's a collateral deal Mr.AbhiRam.I want you to help in winning that deal.I alone can't do it and I need someone to help me,a trust worthy person."She sighed and looked me for my answer.

Do I have a choice?!Seriously?!Do I?

"I will"I nodded.I felt really relived but still I couldn't believe what she said?!Did she ask me to help her?!I thought she will dig our memories.But I felt so lame to think as such.

She is not as lame as you,my consent snapped me.I smiled awkwardly and said

"Thank you" very sincerely.

"Welcome.I am glad you accepted this deal."She said grinning happily.

"So,How much I have to pay?"I spoke very calmly.I felt awkward to ask this

"What?"She narrowed her eyes and looked at me crouching her eyebrows. She is angry and it's evident but what did I do?!

"I asked how much should I pay for the crude material?"I mustered some courage and muttered under my breath.

"Why are you asking as such?"She looked at me with a blank face.I don't know what's going in her mind.

"I want to be clear about everything,means everything"I emphasised every word and she smiled at my words.Now What made her smile at me.I can say she practically laughed at me.

"I need nothing to except the same amount you would offer to the regular delar"She said heaving a sigh.

"Are you sure?"I asked her quickly.I can't believe what I am hearing.

"Yes!I am clear"She nodded moving back and occupying her seat.

"But....."I lifted my head and our eyes met her eyes for a second and we stared at each other for a while.She coughed and looked away breaking our eyelock.

"It's clearly collateral.I will sell you goods where you should help me in winning the deal"She said tapping the pen on the table.

She didn't get rid of this habit yet.She does this when ever she is uncertain or nervous.Why is so tensed now,right now she herself confessed me she is clear about everything.I felt worried about her.

Is she going to face the wrath of her father for helping me?or did she buy those materials for higher cost which will be loss for her to sell that for same lame price.Several thoughts are running in my mind.

She coughed again just to drag me from my thoughts and She smiled.

I know I need to leave.I saw her after two years and I am really sad that I couldn't even spend an half hour with her.I looked at my wrist watch and found that its time for lunch.

"Thanks for help and It means a lot"I stood up and She too did the same.

"No need to thank me.Help me in winning the deal"She smiled and I walked away from there with a heavy heart.

I reached my car and I squeezed my eyes shut out of guilt.Tears became my friends all these days.

I know its odd to see a Man crying but what to do?I am a human first and I lost my life,I am bearly breathing all the time.

I checked my eyes in mirror and wiped those tears and covered them with goggles.They became a necessity for me all these days.Even I can live without food and my mobile but not goggles.

"Hey?I was worried about you?Did everything go right?"Avinash called me twice already and this I picked the call with out making him wait more.

"Yes and Everything went right.She is ready to sell us the material.We will get it by this evening but....."I felt a lump forming in my throat so suddenly but why?I should be happy she didn't took it personal.She dealt how a Business Person would deal it.Do I need more.I am confused with my own feeling.Very entangling thoughts.I sighed.

"But....?"He asked hesitantly.

"She wants me to help me in winning a deal.She wants me to accompany me to US as it is a huge deal for them."I said trying to calm down my racing heart.

"Really?"He asked quickly.

"Yes"I said and uncertainty is quite evident in my voice.

"Ahh....She dealt it like a very Business Person.I know she is very pure at heart.Though I never met her personally I felt it through your words"He said.

"I hope so...."I mumbled.

"Why are you so worried.It's all about a deal.Nothing personal"He said trying to cheer up my mood.My face fell on hearing him mentioning it as a deal.Why I am thinking like this?

What will be she feeling now?I want to hear her voice again.I want to close my eyes and take a nap.I want everything to be a very bad dream.I sighed and started my car.

I drove to my home and saw mom.

"Do you know this?"She stood up and hugged me.

"Is everything okay,Mom?You looked so tensed?"I asked squeezing her shoulder and releasing her from hug.

"Neelu,Neelu was pregnant at the time of her death"She is crying profusely.I averted my gaze at dad who is standing there like a rock.

"Yes"He could barely whisper.

I felt sad to see my parents like this,they look broken.Yes,Neelu was pregnant by the time she died but I talked with the police and doctor not to reveal this truth to anyone.But I am shocked now.Who let my parents know this brutal truth.

"I never expected this.She betrayed us.We were about to fix her marriage with Aditya.How could She?We loved our daughter and we rose her indulging some morals in her but What she did is terrible"Mom is sobbing and I couldn't do any thing but gulp.

"You need to rest Mom"I didn't say anything but I took her to their room.Dad followed us to there.

"Sleep for a while"I made her sit on the bed.I slowly budged her back.She resisted but I didn't give up.She slept weeping mumbling all the time.

This is the thing I didn't want to happen.But now I need to learn the culprit behind this.If it's him this time I won't leave him.
