"Ye kaisi ajeeb jagah hai," Drishti muttered, quietly contemplating the deserted road and the forest across it.

"We aren't here for a picnic, Mrs. Shergill." Rakshit snapped at her, taking down the shades from his eyes.

"Sure, we aren't but this is still too weird to be a business meeting place. I mean just look around, this rather seems perfect to be a kidnapping place."

He rolled his eyes at her suspicious glances around the place. For once, even he would have liked to admit that he agreed to her but he wouldn't allow her the satisfaction by saying it aloud.

Mr. Mehrotra were a new client, but the deal was huge. The meeting place had been proposed by him for he was about to fly to New York and had very little time in hand. On negotiation, they were to meet and have a quick discussion on his way to the airport. Since the usual route was a busy one, he had suggested that they could see each other on an alternate track that very few people knew existed, which was surrounded by a forest that seemed ancient with thick and old trees.

"Mr. Shergill." She nudged him with her elbow.

He grew irritated. Already the client was late. The place felt weird. And now his wife was being annoying. He was so sure that she was about to start this place was bizarre, let's leave chant that she had muttered twice so far.

"Can you give me a break, Mrs. Shergill, please?" He let out an exaggerated sigh with a pinched expression.

"Break... you want a break from me? Oh right, I understand. Should I call Lavanya to replace my place here?" Though it was just a sarcastic say by her, but it was a bad one, she realized after spitting it out. She was cool with having Lavanya around and knew well how to deal with her but that did not lessen the rage and a pang of jealousy she felt every time Lavanya walked so close to Rakshit as if he wasn't any human but rather a teddy bear to cuddle to. Ah, she would hate to accept that it sickened her.

He shot her a are-you-serious -look. "Where did she come from now?"

"God knows! It is a talent that she always finds out where you are and reaches there near you," she mumbled to herself, completely riled by then.

"What?"

"Nothing." She dismissed him, glad for a fact that he didn't hear it.

"Call Mr. Mehrotra and see where he is."

"That I can't." She refused getting the hold back of her calm tone.

He narrowed his eyes momentarily at her. "Listen, you are not Mrs. Shergill now. You are Mrs. P.A. So, do the job."

"Who do you think I am, Mr. Shergill? Ghajini? That you keep reminding me when I have to switch from Mrs. Shergill to Mrs. P.A. and vice versa?"

"Ghajini? What's that?"

She sighed. "Forget it." Harvard must haven't allowed watching Indian movies or perhaps, this man doesn't have normal interests. Either of it could be true but the possibility of latter seemed greater.

"I can't make a call because there is no network here." She gave up, answering straight about the reason she denied calling.

He checked his phone. Damn, she was right.

"Mr. Shergill. Aren't you finding this strange? I haven't heard of Mr. Mehrotra so far. When I tried to google about him, I got nothing. Yes yes I remember that you said that he is a private person and has everything related to him under skin but come on, Mr. Shergill. It doesn't work this way. There has to be something about him on the Internet unless he -"

"Is a fraud and fooling us. Is that what you are trying to say?" He uttered with a thoughtful expression that had her slightly jump on her place feeling that he finally was believing in her point.

"That's exactly what I am trying to say," she quickly said, hoping they would be leaving soon.

"Stop putting unnecessary pressure on your brain for unnecessary things, and utilize it for better purposes. Vinay had done a background check with the earlier companies they had mentioned working with." He reasoned. Did she really think that he was stupid, ignorant and careless?

She stomped her foot to see him still floating in his universe where the only correct person was him and the only right thing was that he felt and that he did. "Everything can be manipulated, Mr. Shergill."

"What makes you so sure about it?"

"You are forgetting, Mr. Shergill. I was running a business. Yes, I agree, it was a small one. Perhaps a very small one but it did help me gain a lot and by the way, after that Mr. Randhawa incident, you should really not doubt my experience and judgement." She held her head up, proudly.

"For how long you are going to brag that one accidental and coincidental victory?"

Accidental? Coincidental? This man was never going to change. Admitting my victory will be a hit to his ego and how could he bear that? She turned herself to other side, choosing silence in his reply.

He could not function with her silence of mere few seconds and found himself poking her further. "What happened? No smart comeback?"

She still did not utter a word. The silence became uncomfortable to him. Why wasn't she saying anything? He secretly loved when she retorted. A small glint would shine in her eyes every time she managed a witty and a nice comeback at him.

"Mrs. Shergill." One more attempt went in vain with him meeting her quietude and he began to accept that she was right and he, wrong, of course with fumbling and stammering because it wasn't every other day Mr. Shergill himself accepted someone else to be correct and he, not.

"Mrs. Shergill." He instantly held her back from her wrist when she turned away from him in the middle of the conversation where only he was talking and hoping that would make her respond.

Her eyes closed as it was the time for yet another precognition. What if he saw the light on her forehead? The fear rose within her and she rushed a few steps towards the front, jerking his hand.

A black SUV.

Some men getting down with their face covered with black clothes, revealing nothing more than their eyes.

Guns in their hands.

One of them fired.

That was it. Her eyes snapped wide open. Shot. Someone is about to get shot. But who? The precognition visuals made her skin crawl. Someone's life was at stake but despite willing to protect them, she did not know how to for she had no clue who it was. She must learn. The powers she had, had come with a responsibility and she would never let it down.

She heard him calling for her again. Tilting her head, she positioned herself towards him.

"What has happened to you? That was a too small thing to be upset over for so long." So long? It had been just five minutes. Yeah so? Five minutes is 300 seconds, 3000000 milliseconds and 3000000000 microseconds. Long. It had been long. He foolishly reasoned himself.

"I am not upset," she said advancing towards him, her mind still processing the possibilities of who it could be, recollecting the minute details in the precognition. Oh no. Scrutinizing it stilled her focus on the things around the place. Didn't it look similar to the one where they stood currently? Of course it did. Recalling again and again gave her the needed confirmation. The half bent broken tree, which was in her precognition and she could see it right in front of her once she set her gaze long to her right.

The first thought occuring to her was, Mr. Shergill.

"You alright?" He asked his visibly frightened wife, gesturing towards the sweat bids covering her forehead.

She slipped her hand in his. "We have to leave, Mr. Shergill. Now. Please do not ask a word. We have to leave."

Her panic stricken face was alarming but he failed to understand what had her so appalled all of a sudden.

"Mr. Mehrotra must be reaching, Mrs. Shergill. Just a while more and we will leave, okay?" He got his other hand to hold and cover her hand that was in his one hand, assuring her ever so softly. It wasn't every other day, he got to see the timid shade of his wife. It had to be something serious when he did.

"No, no, no. We cannot stay here for any longer. We have to get out of here. Right now." She yelled, for he was not able to understand the gravity of the situation they were in and they would be in. Why couldn't he just listen to her for once? She wished she could just directly enlighten him about everything but alas, that was not possible.

She started pushing him by pressing her palm on his shoulder to get into the car. He was left baffled by her actions.

"Okay, okay. Give me a minute. I'll inform Vinay to convey to Mr. Mehrotra that we can't meet today. Let me try. I think we will get network somewhere. Just a minute." Technically, he should have told his P.A. to do the same but she didn't look in a condition to have a sane talk with Mr. Mehrotra.

She ran her hand furiously on her forehead to see him walking around to find the network. He simply just wasn't getting it. "I'll call him from the car. Let's get out of here. Please, Mr. Shergill." She desperately urged.

"One minute, Mrs. Shergill."

"Mr. Shergill." She screeched in a shrill voice.

His phone vibrated as with network, a message popped up on his phone. It was Vinay.

Sir, it is a trap. Leave the place immediately.

His fingers froze on the screen and eyes took in her worried sight.

Her face paled, with the faint sound of a car approaching alerted her that her precognition would come true any moment.
