"She is right Shreyas, you and Jeet want to save the evidence but at what price? I know you both are trying to do a great thing but what about me and Leena? If something happens to you guys how will we live?" I shouted and went towards the dining table too.

"Trisha, Are you mad beta? Your dad died serving for the country and you are going to help this traitor?" Mom was angry now.

"Mom, I know Dad died serving for the country and I am proud of him but did you forget how we lived our lives after he died? I don't want to live the same life again, I found happiness after 12 years with Jeet and I am not letting it go at any cost." I said and Mom was in tears.

"If you all are done with the family drama, I want to get down to business". Pratap said irritatingly.

"We are sorry Sir, Let's talk about what you need". Leena said and sat opposite to Pratap and I sat close to Leena.

Jeet, Shreyas, Moms and Shekhar Uncle kept shouting to stop us and cursed us but we ignored them and talked to Pratap.

"So Sir, What evidence it is that you are looking for and where will we find it?" Leena asked in all seriousness.

"We are looking for a file that has evidence against me and my boss regarding all the illegal activities we did back then. The evidence has some photographs, CDs and documents related to various arms and ammunitions deals that we did illegally with the terrorists. I have been clean for the past seven years and I don't want the evidence to be caught by authorities else all my life's efforts will go in vain." Pratap said and gave us the details about the file.

"Sure Sir, we will get you those but one thing I didn't understand Sir, your boss is the one who will be harmed the most with this evidence and you are the one taking all the pain risking your life's achievements while he is well protected. I mean I don't care who he is but I feel bad for you since you have been clean for seven years which means you want to quit all this." Leena said animatedly like she is very concerned for Pratap.

"Yes I do, but I can't until the evidence is destroyed by myself. Anyways that's none of you girls business. You get me the evidence and I will leave you all alone. And for you my dear Trisha, I have a surprise which I will give you once you get me the evidence." Pratap said and I frowned.

"Surprise for me? What are you talking about?" I asked him although I knew he would not mention anything.

"Well, let's just say I have something that is important to you, just a quick hint for you, you lost it twelve years ago." He said with an evil smirk and laughed like a devil.

My eyes widened when it struck me what or who he was talking about. I wanted to punch his nose when he laughed but I controlled myself, we needed to work to free Jeet, Shreyas and everyone else.

"You meet us in two hours at the abandoned warehouse on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. We will be there with the evidence." I said with the cracked voice trying to stay strong after hearing what he just mentioned. Leena held my hand and squeezed it a little to show me that she is there for me and I have to stay strong.

"Smart Girl, I knew you are smarter than your husband. See you in two hours, till then I will keep your surprise safe." Pratap said and laughed evilly again. Soon he left with his men following him.

"Jeet, I.." I was cut by Jeet as soon as I wanted to tell him the newfound information.

"Shut up Trisha, You disappointed me today. I thought you were stronger than this. How could you agree to help him when our Dads almost died protecting those evidence." Jeet shouted and I could see anger, disappointment with some other emotion in his eyes probably that another emotion was hate.

"Trisha Beta, you know he killed your Dad and you still want to help him. You were never this selfish what happened?" Mom said and tears rolled down my cheeks hearing her.

"Can you all please stop. You guys are impractical and we are practical that's the difference. We don't want to live our lives in misery without our family and husbands. That man is dangerous, okay." Leena shouted and then hugged me while I silently sobbed hugging her back.

"Well, in that case, Congratulations Mrs. Leena Kapoor but you just lost your husband even though he is alive." I gasped looking in the direction where Shreyas spoke it curtly and left the hall.
