Unknown place:-

A person take out the DNA test report from an envelope as well as open it to view the results. He with very concentration study the report and doesn't get shocked when it states that Mannat isn't the real Mannat on top of that he crushes the report in his fist likewise throw into the bin. He then hear a knock on his door.

Person : Come in.

Staff : Sharik Sir, lunch is ready.

Sharik : I'll be down in a bit. {He unlock his phone furthermore take a look at a pic of Nayab/him}

Sharik's POV :

I doubted you from the first time I met you, you were nervous to speak with me whereas Mannat only get nervous infront of Dad. Then you flinched when we hugged which increased my suspicion on you.

Next by putting cucumber on your eyes you confirmed my doubts because I tried a lot of treatments on Mannat to get her rid of this allergy. I was starting to get worried for Mannat now.

Hence I made a plan to take you out in addition to that ask you why are you here moreover where is Mannat? But you over-smarted me by faking fever. What did you thought I'll not figure it out, the moment I touched your wrist to check the pulse I knew you were acting.

I just didn't want to take a drastic step until I'm 100 percent sure you are an imposter. So I started to keep track on your activities that's when I saw you entering that boy's room at midnight.

Your biggest mistake was when you reacted on a word which also can be a name "Nayab" on the coronation day. I think Zia is also involved in this deceiving plan of yours.

To confirm my doubts I had to do your DNA test with Murtaza uncle's information I had. That's the reason I invited you to eat icecream with me nonetheless you even failed there as I added almonds in it and you ate it, on the other hand Mannat hated almonds.

My distrust on Zia amplified when he referred you as Nayab including to that you responded to him. Both of you didn't realise that this tiny mistake can ruin your plans.

Till the time I receive the DNA results I had to keep my cool yet it was getting difficult for me with you constantly roaming around. The way you defended that boy Nomaan describes that he is close to you.

Yesterday too you were whispering something to Nomaan at tea time. Everyone might think it's friendship but I can clearly see it's more than that, it is like a bond which Mannat and I share.

Today when I'm viewing this report I want to drag you out of your room along with ask you a lot of questions like,
Where is Mannat?
Why are you here?
Who brought you here?
Is Mannat alright?
What the heck is going on?
