Part D, EPart F
The Secret Within the DiaryTwo days has passed. Akash has informed Ananya's family about the incident by saying that while they were heading to the hotel's food court, there was a wet floor ahead of the stairs, which went unnoticed by them due to the sign been hidden by a service trolley. And as they reached near the stairs Ananya suddenly slipped and landed on her leg causing the fracture. He assured her grandfather that she will be out soon and also requested him not to come to Mumbai and he will take care of Ananya.
Akash and Ananya were recovering. Akash was given the permission to wear his own clothes, as not to let Ananya suspect him.
Akash gets dressed up in his own clothes and also kept a strong covering on his injury in order to be safe from any strong contact on the area. He later heads off to Ananya's room. Upon reaching Ananya's room, he finds her trying to walk with the help of the nurse. While Ananya gets happy on seeing Akash. Akash says "It's good to see you back on your feet and walking". Ananya smiles and says "Thank you Captain". Then Ananya sits on the bed and the nurse leaves. Akash comes and sits next to her on the bed. Ananya asks him "Captain, did the police say anything about the diary". Akash says "The police found a clue and they will soon get the diary, so don't worry". Ananya gets a bit relieved and thanks him. Then Akash offers to help her walk and she agrees.
After walking together facing each other and Akash holding both of Ananya's hands. Akash stops and says "Alright, First Officer, now I will take away my hands and you start to walk on your own. Hearing this Ananya (worriedly) says "But... Captain..." Akash assures her by saying "It's okay First Officer, nothing's gonna happen to you". Seeing the trust in Akash eyes she agrees.
Akash takes away his hands and walks away leaving Ananya standing alone in the middle of the room. Then Akash orders her to start walking and come to him.
Ananya slowly takes her first step then the second then the third while Akash keeps on encouraging her. As she is about to take the sixth step, she loses her balance and Akash rushes to help her. After a few moments Ananya finds herself in Akash arms and holding his jacket, unbeknownst to her that her left elbow has brushed on Akash's injury. Then Ananya suddenly says (painfully) "Captain, you are holding me tightly". Then Akash hurriedly helps her to the bed and says in a heavy tone "Sorry First Officer, I have to make an urgent call" and leaves before Ananya could speak.
As Akash comes out of the room, he goes and sits on the chair holding his right side and feeling immense pain. A DIB agent comes to visit Akash and as he looks at the hallway, he notices Akash sitting on the chair and goes to him. As he approaches Akash he finds him in pain. So he takes Akash back to his room. After settling Akash on the bed the agent calls the doctor. The doctor comes and checks on Akash and gives him some painkillers and tells to the agent "Looks like Akash's injury have came in contact with something, but there's nothing to worry about as he's alright" and he leaves.
After the pain wears off a bit. Akash tells the agent not to inform about this to the Boss. The agent tells Akash "We have got your and Ananya's discharge papers ready and you'll be leaving to Delhi after 2 hours". Akash says "Wow, that's great" and says "What about Boss?" The agent says "He and some agents too will be flying on your flight". Just then Akash gets a call from his Boss. The Boss says "As you might already know, you and Ananya will be flying back to Delhi in 2 hours". Akash says "Yes Sir". Then the Boss says "Good, I've asked the agents to collect both of your and Ananya's medical reports as not to leave any evidence". Then Akash says "Sir did you get the diary?" The Boss says "Yes, we received the diary and we will analyze it in Delhi". Then Akash says "Okay". Then the Boss says "Go and inform Ananya about the flight and also tell her that all her stuff will be back at Delhi." Akash says "Thank you Sir." Then the Boss says "Okay. See you after 2 hours at the airport" and ends the call. The agents leave to collect the report and Akash too leaves to inform Ananya.
Akash reaches Ananya's room and enters the room. Ananya on seeing Akash enter says "Captain, is everything alright, as you left in a hurry." Akash on seeing her worried says "You know First Officer, if you worry like that, I might not be able to take you back". Ananya gives a what do you mean look. Akash notices her look and says "Let me explain, I made a call to the airport in order to confirm our tickets". Then Ananya says "Tickets, you mean were flying back?" Akash says "Yes and the flight's in 2 hours". Then Ananya says "2 hours" (looking a bit tensed). Akash says "what happened, you are not happy" and says "Oh, looks like you don't wanna leave this place". And before Ananya could speak Akash continues (teasingly) "It's alright, Ill inform the doctor to grant you permanent stay". Ananya says "No, I was thinking about my stuff." Akash says "Don't worry you'll find your stuff back home". Then Ananya says "Thank You".
Later both Ananya and Akash leave the hospital and head to the airport.
After reaching the airport, both Akash and Ananya head to the waiting area. As Akash helps her while walking, Akash identifies some of the DIB agents present in the airport. After reaching the waiting area, Akash says "Ananya, you wait here while I get the tickets." Ananya says Okay and Akash leaves. As he leaves he signals the agent present there to keep an eye on Ananya. The Boss, who was already there gets up and follows Akash.
After reaching to a stop, away from the people. The Boss hands him the tickets and tells him "After reaching Delhi, just focus on the mission and don't go after Ananya." Akash gets annoyed at this.
Akash comes back to Ananya and sits next to her and gives her the ticket, and then the flight announcement is made and Akash helps Ananya all the way to the aircraft. Later the flight takes off and after an hour lands in Delhi.
After coming out of the Arrival section. Akash offers Ananya to drop her back home, but Ananya says that she'll manage, as she doesn't want to trouble him more. But Akash insists by saying that he had promised her grandfather that he'll take care of her. Seeing no other option she finally agrees and both Akash and Ananya leave.
The Boss who was observing Akash and Ananya gets a hint on what Akash's planning to do and he calls him. Akash seeing the Boss calling him, excuses himself from Ananya and leaves to attend the call. Akash replies and the Boss says (sternly) "Are you mad or what, why do you want to drop her back home" Akash says "Cause I've promised her family members that I'll take care of her". The Boss says "You've promised to take care of her. Then what about you?" Before Akash could speak the Boss continues "Don't forget Akash, you too haven't fully recovered." Then Akash says "Don't worry Sir, I'll take care of myself" and ends the call. Akash returns back to Ananya and both of them head to the parking lot, and the Boss is shown watching them in the background. Then the Boss calls a DIB agent and orders him to follow Akash just in case.
Later Akash reaches Ananya's home and helps her out from the car to the front door and rings the door bell. Her grandfather opens the door and calls out Ananya's mom and welcomes Akash and Ananya saying "Come in Ananya and come in son (addressing Akash)". But Akash says "No sir, actually I should go home". Ananya's mother comes to the living room and goes and hugs Ananya and says "Dear, I was so worried about you". Ananya says "Don't worry Mom, I'm alright". Then she looks at Akash and says "Captain Akash took good care of me". Then Ananya's mother looks at Akash and sees his injured head and asks him "Son, how did you get hurt". Akash says "While saving your daughter". Then she thanks him a lot and offers him to have tea. But Akash says "No aunty, I really need to go home as it's getting late". Then Ananya says "Yeah mom, let him go as he too needs rest" and her mother agrees. As Akash starts to leave Ananya says "Captain" and Akash turns around and she continues "Thank you for everything". Then Akash says "Your welcome First Officer" and leaves. After reaching his car, he notices another car behind and identifies the car being from the DIB headquarter and he figures out that an agent is following him and he thinks to himself "Boss you are truly worried about me" and smiles and then leaves. Later Akash reaches his house and parks his car. The agent who was following him calls the Boss and informs him that Akash has reached home safely.
Next day Akash is shown leaving his house and heads to the DIB headquarters. Upon reaching the office one of the staff informs him to go to the conference room as the boss is waiting for him there. Akash reaches the conference room and finds the Boss, along with some agents checking the contents of the diary. The Boss on seeing Akash says "Akash! You've arrived" and asks "How are you feeling now?" Akash says "I'm fine" and asks"Did you find anything in the diary?" The Boss says "Almost nothing, but she did mention Italy at some points in it" and asks "Do you know why?" Akash says "Don't know maybe she liked the country a lot as it is one of the romantic place and has a lot of histories" then Akash asks for the diary and starts to read it. While reading he marks out all the odd lines in the diary and writes it down on the paper. The Boss comes and looks at the paper and says "It's futile; you won't find anything from these lines". Akash says "Nothing is impossible" and continues writing and the Boss leaves him alone.
After a few hours, Akash comes out of the conference room and goes to the Boss and hands over a decoded letter of Mahima to him. The Boss gets amazed looking at the letter and says "How did you figure it out?" Akash says "One day I went to Mahima's house and...
FLASHBACKMahima opens the door and welcomes Akash inside. And they both sit on the couch; Mahima's mom welcomes him and goes to make coffee for them. As Akash and Mahima are in a conversation, Megha joins them and says to Akash "Akash bro, please tell Mahima sis to teach me how to write codes." Akash says surprisingly "Codes! Why do you want to write codes?" Megha says "So that no one would know the secret of my diary, just like sis." Akash says "Diary" and looks at Mahima and says "You write codes in your diary, what for?" Mahima says "You know Akash". Akash getting her meaning says "yeah" and says teasingly "So that Megha doesn't dig it out." Megha gets annoyed at this then Mahima says "even though my diary is coded, it can be easily decoded, you just have to change the way you look at it".
FLASHBACK ENDSThe Boss says "Change the way you look at it" and says (impressed) "As you would expect form a DIB agent. Mahima was indeed clever"
The Bad guy gives the diary to his leader and after the leader reads some pages says "The diary that you brought is a fake one." The guy says "It's not possible as I myself took it out from the lady's bag". The leader says "Akash might have done something." The guy says "It's not possible as I attacked them before they could do anything." And continues "And after their fall and me taking the diary, there has been no change in their movements." The leader says "Did you do anything before Ananya's arrival?" The guy thinks a bit and says "Yes, I ordered her to get off the cab and to wait for 5 minutes and to get another cab to the location, so that no one would doubt her." Then the leader says "Then it might be during that 5 minutes the diary was exchanged." Then the leader says "I will inform Boss about it."
The scene shifts to DIB Headquarters where Akash and his Boss are reading the decoded letter. Mahima mentions that there is a guy named Alan Hades and he's somewhat associated with Inde Air. The Boss says "Who's this Alan Hades." Akash says "He's a very famous businessman in US."And the Boss continues to read, Mahima mentions that she has got some information connecting Alan Hades with Vijay Mafatlal, which she still posses it and names the information as (surprise). After reading the Boss sighs and says "Another mystery, now where will we find that surprise of hers". Akash says "You'll find it when you walk to Lecce." The Boss says (surprisingly)" What!" and says "Akash, this is not time to joke as it is a serious matter". Akash says "But it's not me its Mahima who said it." The Boss says "what do you mean." Akash gives him the diary and shows him a page and the Boss reads "You will find my surprise when you'll walk to Lecce". Then the Boss says "What did she mean by walk to Lecce." Akash says "Don't know." Then the Boss says "Since you've decoded this much, I'm sure you'll decode this too" and then orders Akash to get the secret behind the message ASAP and leaves the room.
