"So which college?" Anurag asked but he didn't get any reply. So he looked at her and saw that she is immersed in her thoughts.
"Nandini... Nandini"
"Huh..." She looked at him
"Kya hua? kaha kho gayi?!"
"mmhh ... Kuch nahi"
"Now my turn, main..."
"Pata hai"
"Huh?!"
"Mujhe sab pata hai.... Pari ne..."
"Hmm......" Then silence prevailed and they reached Sharma's house.
"Thank You, andar nahi aaoge?" He smiled, "Nahi aaj nahi, voh Nivi di ne message ki thi, kuch kaam hai unhe mujhse", and then they bid bye to each other.

Next day Evening at Basu Publications
Nandini is sitting in her cabin, doing some work. Suddenly her phone rang,
"Hello Bhaayi"
"Nanni... tumhara job kaise chal raha hai?"
"Good, aur vaha?"
"Hmm going good. Nanni mujhe teri help chahiye"
"Ha, bolo bhaayi"
"Rajesh Kakka finance department mein hai na, so tumhe mujhe previous financial year ki transaction details ki photos bejni hai"
"Photos!! par kaise?!"
"I know its illegal, par Naveen ko trace karne ke liye mujhe voh chahiye. Zubin ne kuch investigation kiya tha, aur usse pata chala ki do mahine pehle kisi employee ko dismiss kiya gaya tha, because of some false transactions. But I'm pretty sure yeh sab uss Naveen ne hi kiya hoga. Tum voh file kisi bhi tarah doond lo aur kisi ko pata nahi chalna chahiye. Risk hai, tum kar paaoge?"
"Ji bhaayi, aap fikr mat karo, main koshish karti hu"
"Okay, par kuch bhi tumhe difficulty lage, tum ussi vakt plan drop kardo, okay?"
"Okay, bye"
She then thought about how and where to find that file. But at the same time, she was called by Rajesh to his cabin.
"Ji chacha, aapne bulaya?"
"Haa beta, yeh jo saari files hai, yeh sab hamari finance dept. store room mein rakhvaa do. Uske baad tum ghar chali jaa na, okay, mujhe Basu baady jana hai"
"Ji,........hmm... chacha voh ... hamare company ki saari financial files vahi pe rakhte hai?"
"Haa, sab vahi pe rakhte hai. Yeh cabin bhi lock kar dena. Aur ha tum kisi ki help le lena, ithne saare files hai, akele mat udaa na"
"Ji" Then he went from there. She happily took the file bundle and exited the cabin.
"Kisi ki madad na le toh acha hai, varna main voh file kaise doond paayengi, so chalo Nandu beta tumhe khud udaana hai yeh sab"
Then she somehow carried the bundle and walked through the corridor. At the same time, Anurag came from the opposite side looking at his phone.
{Yes, you all got it right. Obviously, they collided with each other }
"Ouch!!!"
"I'm really sorry, oh shit! tumhe lagi toh nahi?"
"Nahi nahi, I'm fine." Then she started picking up the files and he also helped her.
"Tum itne saare files leke kaha jaa rahi ho?"
"Store room" Then she smiled and again started to walk, "Okay, let me help you, half main udaaunga, chalo"
"No! ..hmm.. matlab nahi, main theek hu. Main khud jaaungi. Tumhe ghar jaana chaahiye. Bye"
She tried to escape from there to accomplish her plan, but Anurag roughly took half of the files from her and started to walk. She stood there shocked and then he turned to look at her, "What?!, chaloo" Then he again turned to walk,
"Ayyappaa!! ab kya karu main" She looked up and complained and then started walking irritatedly.

Sharma house
"Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, maine kaha tha aapko job milenge. Dekho mil gaya" Shivani twirled Prerna in happiness
Everyone congratulated her and Veena feed her sweets. Then Prerna's phone beeped with a mail notification. She opened it and read it. Her eyes widened with happiness and told everyone that she got appointed as the Personal Secretary of the CEO of Asia Communications and also to join there from tomorrow.
"Wowwww Diiii"
"Par Priyu teri college?!" Mahesh asked
"Bhaayi, classes toh aaj hi khatam ho gaya, bas final exams baaki hai. In logon ne uske liye time hume denge. Jab tak degree nahi mil jaati, tab tak 9 to 5 kaam karne ki zaroorath nahi hai."
"Yeh toh phir bahut acha hua"

Basu Publications store room
"Rakh diya na, ab chale?" Anurag asked her
"Haa, tum jaao"
"Aur tum?!"
"Main... mujhe thoda aur kaam hai"
"Kya kaam?"
"Voh..hmm... voh kuch purane files doondni thi, just to make a study, Chacha ne kaha tha" She tried to find some reason
"Acha, main help karta hu chalo"
"Nahi nahi nahi main khud karlungi tum jao , okay bye" Then she immediately went towards the huge racks of files on the backside of the storeroom, and her leg got hit by the side rack.
"Ouchh, aa..aa" She sat on the floor in pain, holding her leg.
Anurag ran towards her and bend towards her, "Kya hua?!, maine kaha tha help karte hai, par nahi! {She looked at him making a puppy face},had badi main kya kar diya tumne?! Dikhao?"
"Nahi, main theek hu" She pulled her leg inwards but hissed with pain
"Dekha, koyi theek nahi hai, dikhao... dikhao mujhe" He asked her in a stern voice.
She extended her leg and he examined carefully holding her foot. She hissed and he got to know the place of the sprain.
"Acha now look at me," He asked her in concern
"Kyu?!" She got panicked because of his serious expression
"Look at me, mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai" His voice held some kind of complications
"What?!" She asked in a fearful low voice
"Voh baat yeh hai ki... voh..." He looked into her eyes
"AAAAAAAAAAAA" She shrieked and then got normal. Then she looked at him dumbfounded.
During the time of distraction, he twisted her leg so that the sprain get the cure.
"Ho gaya" He eased his expression and winked at her
"Manikkk, tum?!" She angrily said but Anurag looked at her in confusion
"Manik!?" His reaction made her realize the situation and she tried to get up. He suddenly came to her help and made her stand properly. She started to search for the file on the rack ignoring him.
But all of a sudden, the light went off.
"What the?!"
"Yeh light ko kya hua?"
"Ek minute main dekhta hu, tum yahi pe ruko, hilna mat" Then he went towards the door to open it, but,
"Ohh shit!"
"Kya hua?" She asked him
"Door locked hai!!!"
