Chapter 29

PART - 29

 

 

aina could now link everything just perfectly. Things have started falling in place. It all started the moment she set out for Ambala. There was a blast on the way and that too just one hour before she reached there. She was late that day because of those flat tyres. It had wasted her one full hour. Otherwise she would have reached that blast site exactly at the time of blast. She was the target. Someone on purpose put those nails on road to delay her and even informed the Police.

 

She was going out for movie and an anonymous letter warned her of something that might take place inside academy in her absence. She was right, the letter was fake. Nothing happened inside the academy. It meant to stop her from going outside. There was a terrorist encounter outside that multiplex just during the show she was supposed to be watching.

 

In the parking lot of Fashion Square she saw someone with a gun. She was the target again. But she was not shot. Probably someone intervened and there was a fight and the bullet was shot during that, which she later found wedged in the pillar.

 

Last night also she was abducted and then saved by someone or else she would have died, for sure. It was clear............ SOMEONE WAS PROTECTING HER all this while and she was clueless about that!!!!!

 

But she still didn't had the answer- who was doing that. Was that someone from the intelligence? May be but she knew that man. She had this strong feeling. She had heard that voice before. It was vaguely familiar. But she could not think about that beyond this. Her head was in so much of pain. It was getting unbearable. She just closed her eyes.

" Naina what is wrong with you? Mujhe hamesha tumhe dhoondhna kyun padta hai and anyways what do you think you are doing?" Shalini was getting mad at her.

"Ma'am woh main bas apne next lecture ki preparations kar rahi thi."

"Lecture? Now I am so sure ki tumhein chot bahut zor se lagi thi aur tumhe uska asar ho gaya hai"

"Ma'am?"

"Don't ma'am me! Naina its already 5, two hours mein Fresher's ball start ho jaayega aur tum yahan library mein baithi ho..... go get ready. By 7 your date will be here"

"Date....please ma'am don't even remind me about that"

"Kyun?"

"Nothing...but aap kiske saath aa rahi hain party mein"

"Take a guess"

"That means Chandok sir"

"You bet"

"Ma'am waise mere paas ek bahut achcha idea hai. Aap keh rahi thi ki my date is quite hot and goodlooking. Right?"

"Right...so"

"So lets do one thing. Lets exchange our dates. Watssay?"

" I say it's a very bad idea. Don't you even dare look at my date. Ab jaldi se jao and get ready"

 

Naina was ready for the party.She was looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing an ankle length fitted dress in red with a slit on the left that extended upto middle of her thigh.It was outlined with black sequins and was off shoulder at one side. A mermaid tattoo was palced at her bare shoulder amidst generously sprinkled silver sparkle. She was wearing matching stiletoes and chandelier earrings and the pendant that Shalini had gifted her. She used to wear that all the time. Her hair was done in soft curls with side parting in a way that it covered almost the entire bandage on her temple. She looked stunning.

 

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Ab kaun aa gaya" She said while she looked at the watch. It was sharp 7.

"Lagta hai Dr. Shalini ka arranged date hai.... Oh God Please help me"

She was still unsure about going to the party with this guy. She reluctantly opened the door and her eyes widened in surprise....
