Early in the morning, Reena went to Abhi's room and called his mobile phone.

Abhi lazily picked up his phone and answered the call without seeing who called him.

"Good morning Sir..." she said in a low tone.

Abhi, "Reena?" he asked waking up and looks at the time. It was only 4 am in the morning!

Abhi never hears anything from her and asks, "Anything important?"

Reena, "Sir... I am outside your room. I need to talk to you."

Abhi quickly goes to open the door and sees her looking tensed.

He ends the call and looks at her.

Reena, "May I come in?"

Abhi, "Ya okay..."

Reena looks around before going inside his room.

Abhi, "What's up Reena? Why you want to talk to me early in the morning?"

Reena looks at him in disbelief.

"How can he ask like this when he said my brother is in danger." she thinks by looking at him.

Abhi then says, "Are you like tensed about what I told you last night?"

Reena nods her head as yes.

Abhi, "Did you even sleep last night?"

Reena shakes her head negatively and Abhi sighs in response.

Abhi, "Reena... Why are you stressing yourself?"

Reena, "How can I not stress myself when my brother is in danger?"

Abhi, "I understand Reena and that's why I am asking your help for."

Reena looks back in confusion and at that moment they hear someone knocking his door. They are taken aback on who is knocking the door at this time.

Abhi signals her to be silent and asks her to hide in the washroom.

She rushes to the washroom while Abhi opens the door and sees Ram ji.

Abhi, "Uncle! Why are you here now?"

Ram ji, "Abhi, I actually came to inform you that Reena was awake last night. Her room light was switched on for a very long time."

Abhi, "I know...."

Ram ji, "You know? How did you know?"

Abhi, "No I mean I know as you tell me now."

Ram ji, "Oh...Poor girl. I think she is still not used to this place yet."

Abhi, "Maybe...."

Ram ji, "I came to tell you this as later I may not get the time to tell you this. We are going out later."

Abhi,"Going out? I thought yesterday only all of you went to temple."

Ram ji, "Yes but today we are going later in the evening. We are going to Mohan's House. It's his birthday today and it is just two houses away."

Abhi, "Oh okay. But Uncle if you know Reena was awake that means you were awake also right?"

Ram ji, "No! I was only awake for a while."

Abhi,"Alright. I believe you and why not you go and sleep now as it's still quite early."

Ram ji, "Yes I am going to sleep too. You also sleep and sorry for disturbing you."

Abhi said it was not an issue and soon Ram ji left from there. Abhi closes the door and asks Reena to come outside of the washroom.

Reena comes out and remains silent.

Abhi, "I think we have to keep our volume down."

Reena looks back perplexed and Abhi says, "You never know.... Saro might turn up here as well if she had notice that you were awake last night."

Reena looks in worry and Abhi says, "Reena... Please trust me. I just need your help to help your brother."

Reena, "How's that possible?"

Abhi explains what needs to be done and Reena tries to imagine it but could only get tensed of its outcomes.

Abhi looking at her whispered,
"Please.... Please do as I say."

Reena still confused asks, " What do I have to do now?"

Abhi," Nothing much, just smile and talk to me sweetly in front of your brother."

Reena," In front of my brother!!!"

Abhi, "No I mean.... He will be looking at us so not exactly in front of him."

Reena, "I still don't know whether to believe you sir. I am only doing it as you said my brother is in danger and I am trusting that blindly as I feel you won't lie to me."

Abhi, "I am not lying to you. It's really because of your brother being in danger and...."

Reena, "But how does that affect you? He is my brother and it doesn't matter to you."

Abhi, "It matters to me Reena. It matters to me as he is in danger because of me. I am still not sure about that. To confirm about it, we have to do this drama of being boyfriend and girlfriend."

Reena looks on in shock after hearing what he had said.

Reena, "But...."

Abhi, "Reena, it's simple. You just have to act so that your brother will get back to you at least for showing concern about your relationship with me."

Reena, "But why would he do that? After all, you are not a bad person for him to be concerned over my relationship with you."

Abhi thinks she is very smart and have a very valid point.

Reena, "Sir?"

Abhi, "Haan Reena. You are right. But when it comes to sister's love life, every brother will be concerned about it even if they are unhappy with his sister."

Reena, "Really?"

Abhi, "Yes Reena. So let's have hope so that we can get closer to your brother and then from there we can know what is his life like and what is he facing recently."

Reena, "But sir you can hire a private detective to follow my brother and know what kind of danger he is in."

Abhi, "Yes Reena but it won't be the same as how you will help him from the danger."

Reena, "But... Sir..."

Abhi, "Reena, let's not complicate it with external forces. I got to know your brother is in danger from my friend and he said it could be because of me. After that I couldn't reach out to the friend. Then this matter was affecting my mind and finally I revealed it to you so that we together somehow help your brother from the danger."

Reena,"Sir.... What's your friend's name?"

Abhi, "Anamika."

Reena, "Okay sir."

Abhi,"Now please don't stress yourself as I told all of this to you so that you can help me too."

Reena nods her head in response and says, "But sir..."

Abhi, "No more buts Reena. The time is running and everyone will be awake soon."

Reena, "Okay sir then I better leave now."

Abhi, "By the way you are not working today Reena."

Reena, "I am fine sir. I just need to..."

Abhi, "It's my order Reena!"

Reena, "But sir..."

Abhi, "Hema will manage everything and I am also not going to work today so no worries."

Reena reluctantly agrees and leaves from his room.

She then went to her room and closes the door.

It was really a very bad night for her with all kind of thoughts haunting about her brother's safety.

"I better sleep now so that I can do something with sir to help Bhai."

She tells herself and somehow manages to fall asleep.

Reena was sleeping till the afternoon.

She suddenly wake up due to a bad dream.

"What was that? Why did I dream as if Sir knows everything about me and he even hugs me!!!"

She tries to forget the visuals of her dream but for some strange reason it keeps on comes to her mind.

"I better take a shower!" she tells herself and goes to take shower and then was shocked seeing the time as 2 pm after getting ready.

"Oh god! How did I sleep until 2 pm!" she murmurs and goes out of her room. She sees Abhi's studyroom door opened and quickly goes there as she now have a question to ask if not her head will burst.

Reena goes to his room and sees him reading some documents.

Abhi," I hope you had a good sleep Reena."

He said without looking at her.

Reena, "Yes I did Sir but..."

Abhi, "Hmm... So now you have something to ask me."

Reena,"Sir... How did you know that?"

Abhi, "Simple Reena. You just woke up and got ready but without going to check on your work, you have came here first so that means something is bothering you. Am I right?"

Reena nods her head as yes in response and Abhi with a smile signals her to ask what is bothering her.

"Do you know everything about me?" asked Reena.

Abhi shook his head as no in response.

Reena, "How's that possible sir? You know who is my brother so it means you should have known about me right?"

Abhi, "Reena, the issue now is about your brother and not you. I did get a chance to know about you but I had firmly said no to know about it."

Reena, "But why sir?"

Abhi, "Simple Reena.... I am not interested in you to know about you."

Reena,"Okay...."

She replied hesitantly.

Abhi, "Reena.... All I know is that even Reena is not your real name and that's all."

Reena,"You know that but you are not curious to know why is that so?"

Abhi, "Nope!"

Reena looks back in disbelief.

Abhi, "Reena, if I am interested in something then nobody can stop me from knowing about it. As of now, I am not interested about what happened to you before so...."

Reena, "Okay sir..."

Abhi smiles and says he have some work and then leaves.

Reena thinks to herself, "He could have easily know about my past and reason to change my name and used that as an opportunity to blackmail me in helping him.... But he didn't! This itself show that he don't want to play with my emotions."

She then smiles widely and resumes her work.

Meanwhile, Abhi walks to and fro in his room with some papers.

"Oh man! How can I lie to her so convincingly!"

He then looks at the paper he had prepared and sees her name written as Pragya Arora.

"I have no choice again. I have to somehow do something and make her sign this papers so that my plan works out."

Saritha ji comes to the room and Abhi seeing her gets shocked. He quickly hides the papers in his drawer and asks why is she here.

Saritha ji notices how tensed Abhi had turned and also had seen him hiding some papers.

Abhi," I am asking you something Saro."

Saritha ji,"Haan... I came here to ask how are you?"

Abhi, "I am absolutely fine Saro. But why do you have this question all of a sudden?"

Saritha ji, "Just asking...."

Abhi then smiles and says he needs the sweets that she makes and brings her out of his room saying he will help her while she makes the sweets.

Saritha ji's mind voice, "Something is there in the paper if not he wouldn't have hide it and now diverting me. Luckily, he forgot to lock the door if not I couldn't have entered his room just now and now I have to think of something to see the paper."

Abhi then made sure he was busily interacting with the elders and ensure nobody enters his room.

But he was not alert enough as Saritha ji had asked Hema to enter his room when Abhi was in the garden area with everyone.

Hema panicked of doing such a act but had to do it for Saritha ji if not she would tell the truth to Abhi that Hema had been taking grocery supplies for her own house.

Hema nervously checks the drawer and manages to sees the paper that was described by Saritha ji.

Hema reads the contents and gets a huge shock!

Sneek peek to next part,

Saritha ji sees Reena signing in some papers.

Abhi smiles and then keeps on talking to her as well.

Saritha ji goes near them and shouts, "Reena!!!"

Reena looks at Saritha ji hearing her loud voice.

Saritha ji, "Did you read before you sign the papers?"

Reena, "I did for the first two papers and the rest should be a continuation of it so I never really read it."

Saritha ji, "Then now read the papers. Don't ever sign papers without reading it even if you have trust on the person who is giving the papers."

She tells sternly looking at Abhi. Abhi was giving a blank look in response.

Reena reads the other papers and was not able to believe what she was reading.

Abhi never says anything and leaves from there silently while Reena calls him," Sir! What's this? How can you do this to me?"

She follows him and Saritha ji on the other hand could only feel bad for Reena and angry at Abhi for his actions.

Thank you for reading!
