"Sara drop that fucking case right now"

"It's too late now Mom. Ap baas bataiye"

"Sara mera shak sahi tha. Mujhe andaja nahi tha ki itni purani baat ka firse humari jindegi pe asar hoga. I will be coming beta"

"Mom you have a swear on me that you won't come here. Just tell me the truth" Sara said sternly to protect her mother from this mess 

"Sara bohot purani baat hain aur bohot choti si baat hain. When I was around 18/19, I was cast by a film and Mr.Mrigesh was producer. He acted in films before and that was his first time being a producer but he had political power and his father was an affluent businessman. One day on the set, he misbehaved with me and I slapped him hard. Newspaper headlines were published on this. You know your nanaji had a bad temper. I didn't know the furthermore but he quit acting in embarrassment. Paar uska naam Mrigesh something else tha yaad nahi. To yeh wohi insaan hain bhi yah nahi kya pata. Isiliye India ana chahti thi"

"So he did return to revenge?"

"Maybe though I didn't have a single idea as after that he apologised to me and I didn't feel that he had grudge against me"



"Mom main rakhti hu. I have some works to do" 

"Apna kheyal rakhna"

"Haan ap bhi"





Sara went outside and called a spot boy. 

"Shuno Kartik kaha hain?"

"Sir to chale gaye"

"Chale gaye?" Sara asked unbelievably. 

"Haan"





"Aaj tumhe mere sawalo ke jawab dene padenge Kartik kuch bhi ho jaye. Aaj Qayamat ki raat hain. Aj main sab kuch ko ek nateeze tak paucha k rahungi"

Sara thought clenching her fist.







Sara changed her outfit and put on the pendent that she usually wore meeting with Kartik. Some dots were already connected in her brain then. 

She went to Mr.Mrigesh's house but this time she didn't go to the front door rather started roaming around to make a mind map. She was about to take a big risk on her life. She tried to find some way to sneak into. Suddenly some street children came to her attention. 

"Suhh shuno idhar ao" Sara called them

"Ji didi"

"Acha tum sab k paas patakhe honge?"

"Nahi didi"

"Acha yeh lo kuch paise aur jaha se mile waha se kuch patakhe le ao daas minute k andar usse jala k iss dewaar k uss paar fek ke vhaag jana. Kar paoge?" Sara said giving them some money.

"Ho jayega didi"



Sara went to the door and entered. Mr.Mrigesh was sitting on the couch as usual

"Namastey Mr.Jadeja. Sorry fir bin bulaye aa gayi"

"Arey koi nahi Sara ji. Hume to adat hain aur apke deedar ho kiuki isse badhiya aur kya ho sakta hain?" Mr.Mrigesh laughed out

"Woh parso mujhe Kartik k saath Himanchal jana padega. Last shoot waha hi hoga"

"To jayiyee. Kisne roka hain"

"Nahi to main batane hi ayi thi. Ab tak kuch bhi proof nahi mila uske against. Ab to wakt hi nahi bacha"

"Haan wakt to kam hain"



Sara was about to say something but suddenly noises came from the garden area. Mr.Mrigesh's guards got conscious and ran outside. 

"Goli chali kya?" Sara asked building his tension. 

Mr.Mrigesh ran outside too and Sara took the opportunity and ran towards the upstairs. She started running to hide somewhere no can could notice. She knew cctvs could be there but she had to take a risk. She just need to get Jemy to pressurize her to learn the truth. Sara started checking doors of the rooms. It was strange that most of the rooms were vacant. Her phone vibrated and she saw Mr.Mrigesh calling her. She hide in a corner and picked up,

"Sara ji, Ap chali gayi kya?"

"Haan woh ek call aya tha to jana pada"

"Acha to fir milte hain"

And he hang up. Sara let out a breathe of relief. 

Suddenly Sara heard a giggling sound. She followed that sound. She came to a room and opened the door with courage. 



"Ivaan!" Sara exclaimed.

She saw Ivaan playing with Jemy. Jemy got frightened seeing her but Ivaan ran and hugged her thighs. She stroked his hairs and looked at Jemy.
"Tum bataogi ki Ivaan yaha kiu hain?"
Jemy was trembling in fear and Sara went near to her holding Ivaan's wrist. 
"Jemy batao Ivaan yaha kiu hain?"

Sara kneeled down to Ivaan and asked, 

"Ivaan bacha apko yaha koun laya?"

Ivaan pointed at Jemy and said,

"Sara didi yeh mere mamu ka ghar hain aur yeh meri Jimi Didi"

Sara got up on her feel and was about to ask something to Jemy but something hit back of her head so hard. The world got blurry for her as the darkness overwhelmed. But still she thought about Kartik as he could be the only one to know this place and save her at that moment
