'Come in.' Eifad answered the knock at the door. The door opened, on getting no response Eifad looked up from her laptop.

'May I come in, Maam?' Kim said meekly at her. Eifad looked at her briefly before giving a small nod.

'You... you... called for me...' she stammered. Eifad nodded and stood up from her seat. She walked towards Kim who quivered. Eifad placed her fingers on her chin and observed Kim carefully. Kim shivered little.

Eifad shook her head and moved in front of Kim, leaning against the table she looked at Kim seriously, her arms folded.

'This is not going to work, Kim. This body language of yours... you lack so much confidence.' Eifad said disappointedly. Kim looked up at her confused. Eifad sighed placing her palms on the table.

'Kim, you will be called for the meeting and if you quiver and sweat like this...' Eifad shook her head. Kim lowered her head as though ashamed

'Listen, Kim.' Eifad placed her palm on her shoulder, she titled her head little looking closely at Kim, 'You aren't the culprit here, you aren't at fault. Confidence, Kim... Bring confidence...Okay.' Kim looked up at Eifad, she looked sceptical and so Eifad added, 'Okay, listen after your shift come to my place, bring Kiran with you if that makes you comfortable.'

'But Maam?'

'I am going to train you, Kim. I will change you completely.' Eifad said seriously. Kim simply nodded her head.

Eifad then walked around the table and sat on her seat, 'You may leave.' Even after Eifad had dismissed her, she felt Kim still standing. Eifad looked up at her with her eyebrow raised.

'Maam, address?' she said nervously.

'Get it from Mr. Saxena.' Eifad said returning to her work.

*********************************************************************

Eifad and Mr. Saxena walked towards the meeting room and on their way, they met Gaurav. Eifad is happy to know that he stood alone. She looked away from him, even Mr. Saxena gave him an attitude wala look before entering the meeting room.

Eifad: meeting is going to start

Farhan: All the best. Listen, they might ask you some uncomfortable questions but you don't let it show on your face that you are uncomfortable.

Eifad (annoyed): Yeah, yeah, I am not a kid... Oh k, ladies are here...see you later

Farhan: Star bucks

Eifad: Whatever.

Minutes later, Eifad once again found herself surrounded by women looking dauntingly at her. Eifad's brain repeated her own advice that she had given Kim, also Farhan's advice

Confidence... be confident... her brain kept telling her.

One of the middle-aged women removed her glasses and peered at Eifad, she simply looked back, her face expressionless.

'So, Miss Eifad Hooda. What exactly happened that day?' she asked.

Eifad closed her eyes, the ladies waiting patiently.

You want to see a shooting star

Please... Bhaiya... don't touch there...

You will like this, Eifad

What are you doing here?

Please... Bhaiya... stop... stop.... Please.... You are hurting me....

Not a word to anyone, else.....

Eifad's eyes snapped open, she is brought back to the reality.

'I was on the terrace, smoking. And Mr. Gaurav Kayshab came there and asked for a puff.... and I shared my cigarette with him... then he... tou.... touch... touched me inappropriately.'

'Where?'

Eifad gulped

They might ask you some uncomfortable questions, but you don't let it show on your face that you are uncomfortable.

Eifad swallowed the tight lump that formed in her throat. She looked back trying to maintain the eye contact.

Please.... Bhaiya.... Don't... touch there...

Bhaiya.... please.... please...stop.... you are hurting me.....

'My... th...thigh...' Eifad shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

Why is she thinking about that incident? This is different, Eifad kept mentally telling herself that she shouldn't let the past incident ruin this case for her.

Even if I stand alone, I will fight.

I won't let what happened with me, happen to Kim or any other women in my hospital

'Has he touched you inappropriately before?' a lady, Eifad's age, broke her reverie. Eifad shook her head muttering a No.

The meeting went on for half an hour. Eifad managed to answer their questions boldly, she also mentioned about complaints of him from the other women not mentioning Kim's name.

'Okay, Miss. Hooda. We will hear Mr. Kayshab in the afternoon and our next meeting will be after three days.' One of the middle-aged women concluded.

'Sure.' Eifad nodded.

'And get the other women too.' Another middle-aged woman said. Eifad nodded. She adjusted her pleated skirt and walked out of the cabin.

Mr. Saxena tagged along Eifad but she walked briskly towards her cabin.

'Black coffee, no sugar on my table in half an hour, tops.' She ordered Mr. Saxena who nodded his head and left.

Eifad held her head, she ran her fingers through her short hair and exhaled loudly. She then opened the top drawer and fished out a pack of cigarette. Grabbing the lighter, she walked out.

Eifad lit her cigarette but before she took a puff, she decided otherwise. She squished the cigarette with her heels and took out her phone.

'Hello, Farhan?'

*********************************************************************

Fifteen minutes later, Eifad sat in the same Starbucks outlet as yesterday. She gulped her third glass of water. She is waiting for Farhan for ten minutes now, and this is making her angrier. Eifad hates people who are late. At one point, she wanted to leave but then she stopped because she needed someone to talk to. No, she needed Farhan to talk to her so that she can clear her head. Irritated, she shoved her hands into her pocket and fished out a pack of cigarette. She placed a cigarette in between her lips but as she was about to lit it, someone jerked the cigarette from in between her lips alarming her.

'Hey!'

'Smoking isn't allowed here.' Farhan said seriously to her.

Eifad sighed exasperatedly looking away annoyed.

'What happened?' Farhan asked sitting opposite her. Eifad glared at him pointing at her watch.

Farhan's mouth formed a big O as though realizing now, that he is late.

'Sorry, sweetheart but you know the Delhi Traffic.' Farhan smiled.

Eifad got up from her seat, leaned forward and grabbed Farhan's collar and shook him,

'My mood is already f***ed up and you...' Eifad glared at him, her face hovering inches away from Farhan's. A small smile on his lips irritating Eifad further. She fisted her fingers and

BAAM, one hard punch on his face. Eifad smiled looking at his blue eye.

'Arghh...' he yelped in pain.

'Eifad?' Eifad snapped out from her trance when Farhan waved his palm in front of her eyes. She blinked at him.

All the hustle bustle of the crowd getting into her ears bringing her back to reality.

'What happened?' Farhan asked her seriously. Eifad looked at him and then around her, there are too many people and she felt uncomfortable.

'Can we talk somewhere else?' she asked him

Farhan thought, 'Your place?'

Eifad shook her head, there with Aisha and Zara and Dheem Kaka they might not get privacy.

Farhan began thinking. Eifad hesitated for a second before saying, 'Your place?' she bit her lower-lip when Farhan looked at her. He then nodded.

'We will have to make it quick, Kim and Kiran are coming to my place and...' Eifad looked at him through her sunglasses, 'For three days, I don't want you anywhere near my place. I don't want Kim or Kiran to see you.' she said sternly as they walked out of the outlet.

'But Kiran is cute.' Farhan said

Eifad looked at him sharply and Farhan knew she was glaring at him.
