Nandini returned home in full anger and frustration. Navya was waiting for her at home. As soon as she entered , Navya got confirmed that she is in no mood to talk.

Knowing her more than herself ; she let her be in that state for some time. She was siting on the couch resting her head back. After 10 minutes , Navya slowly called her out and made her have her medicine. Navya was very much aware of her condition and she could not stand any chance to take risk on her. So before anything could happen , she made her take the medicine in advance , which was actually needed because Nandini was having headache the moment she left from the parking due to that heated argument and that revelation.

Though being a stubborn , she did not agreed to take the medicine at first place but then Navya was a master player in blowing out her stubbornness. She succeed in making her take the medicine and after a while she spoke up.

"Did you talk to him..??" Navya asked her very politely keeping in mind her anger. She dropped her shoulders and just hugged her in return. Navya didn't said anything but kept her hand on her hair and caressed them.

She knew Nandini was fighting from inside and this would have surely made her weak. After few minutes of protective embrace that she got from her friend or better to say soul sister ; she broke the hug , and narrated the whole incident to her in a shaky voice and teary eyes.

Navya was hell shocked. Her wide eyes were indicating that the pupils may pop out of the socket at any moment due to the shock. ! Nandini was crying silently remembering what Danish said.

"I thought that was the height of cheapness that Harshad can go but no he has surprised me.. How can someone be soo pathetic..?? " Navya said in her rage.

She thought Nandini will say something but insisted she kept on sobbing keeping her palms on her face. "Nandu.. !!" Navya called her with all the care and love , slowly removing her hands.

 "Ssshhh...!! Bass.. Tumhe pata hai na when you cry what happens.? Please stop crying. Dekho sab theek hoga tum dekhna." She said wiping off her tears.

"How Navya..?? How will it get fine..?? Manik ... Manik Meri Wajah se problem mein hai. Just because Danish wants to take his stupid revenge from me ; he is spoiling someone else life." Nandini said in a chocking voice in between her tears. 

"Why is he after my life..?? what have I done..??? pehle Harshad ab Danish.. kyon Navya..?? Why can't I live in peace. and ab meri wajah se kisi aur ki life ruin ho rahi hai..!! " she continued in her tears.

Navya was about to say something but Just then Nandini's phone rang. It was an unknown number. Composing herself and wiping of her tears she received the call.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nandini - "hello..!"

Caller - "hey beautiful.!"

Nandini - "sorry..? Whose this..!"

Caller - "come on Nandini..! I thought you would recognise my voice. You disappointed me." Said the person in a flirtatious tone.

Nandini - "who are you..?" She said in a stern tone.

Caller - "okkk fine... My love... Won't tease you for long. It's me Harshad ."

Nandini - "Harshad ..??" She confusingly asked him frowning her brows which made her eyes even smaller. Hearing that name , Navya too in shock looked at Nandini.

Nandini - "what do you want.?"

Harshad - "come on baby Itni bhi jaldi kya hai..!"

Nandini - "Harshad come to the point Kyun call kiya hai .." she said in her Stern voice grinning her teeth.

Harshad - "wohhooo ..!! nice ...!! I can see the little innocent lamb has turned into a lioness ...!! great ...!! I like it..!!"

Nandini - " yes Harshad this lamb has surely turn into a lioness and if you don't want that this lioness to harm you in anyway then come straight to the point .!! what do you want..?"

Harshad - "relax baby why so much anger chill."

Nandini - " Harshad ...!!!!" she shouted "mind your words or else you won't be able to speak anything..!"

Harshad laughed from the other end.

Harshad - "OK then let me come straight to the point.. I hope you had a good meet with Danny or should I say Danish ...!! come on yaar I mean 10 months aur tumhe pata bhi nahi chala Kaise ..?" He asked her innocently.

Nandhini - "why did you lied to Danish.?"

Harshad - "come on Nandani you know how Danny is. my sweet little innocent brother still believe in that stupid long lasting forever love that he always thought I did it to you I mean can you imagine Aaj Bhi that idiot believe in these stupid things but Main Aise Kaise apne bhai ko hurt kar deta. Jab ye sab use Pata Chalta that I left you he would have never forgiven me and of course I couldn't have let it happen. so you see I need to do it to Put The Blame On You. Kya Karu he is still a kid ; believing in all those forever love stuff you know and I couldn't afford to lose his love ; so here's the story. and of course further details , all you know ..!" he spoke everything very casually.

Nandini - "just because you couldn't afford to lose your brother's love so you made me the culprit.? fine Jo Kiya so kiya but do you have any slight idea what is your brother up to he's messing up someone else's life and career just to take the stupid Revenge from me what you know is not true and besides instead of stopping him you are encouraging him to do such wrong things..?? What kind of a brother you are Harshad..? have you ever thought Danish ko jab pata chalega ; when he'll come to know the truth what will he go through..?? Jab USe Pata chalega keep Tumne kuch usse jhoot bola he will not see your face ever in life have you ever thought of it..!!!" She said in a loud voice grinning her teeths.

Harshad - "Kaun Batayega use Tum bataogi ..? and you think ki tumhe believe karega..?? Come on 

Nandini ; I don't think you are that dumb." He said while laughing.

Nandini - "he will come to know about this very soon and you will come to know by yourself ki use kaise pata chala." She replied in full confidence.

Harshad - "all the best my love..!!" He replied with a chuckle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hearing this , the volcano inside her blasted and her threw her phone in anger that collided with the corner of the table ; not sure of the fact whether it survived the sudden throw or not.
.
.
Seeing her anger , Navya came forward. "Nandu , listen."

She said very politely but Nandini shouted on her ; "Navya please..!" .

"Enough Nandini..!!" Navya shouted at a higher pitch than her which made even Nandini shocked for a second.

"Hum tab se Dekh rahe hain tumhe , roye chali ja Rahi ho hyper hoti ja Rahi ho. Kya ..? What do you think it will give you a solution..? No ..! It will not. All this wil just affect you and your health. Tumhari aise hi behaviour ki Wajah se aaj tumhari condition itni critical ho chuki hai. You don't listen to anyone. Saaf mana hai tumhe stress lene se , but nahi. Why don't you get it ; this anger and frustration of yours is deteriorating your health day by day and pushing you towards...!! "

Navya stopped in middle of her sentence which was completed by Nandini ; "towards Death..?? Right ..?"

And the next thing Nandini witnessed was not surprise but still it came as one.

A tight slap across her face.

Tears rolled down from the eyes of both. Nandini stayed quiet. She didn't had the courage to say anything else. Navya instantly hugged her and kissed her cheek. Nandini replied to the hug with equal warmth.

"Dare not say it again. kuch nhi hoga tumhe. Hum sab hain . nothing will happen to you. Navya said while hugging her. Composing herself Navya broke the hug and said wiping Nandini's tears ;

"har problem ka solution Hota hai, Iska bhi hoga. I know what you are going through. Because of you , that boy , his carrer is at stake. But Nandu you need to take care of yourself right..?? Agar tumhe kuch ho Gaya to kaun use innocent proof karega..?  For that you need to be strong as you have to help him. You can't fell out weak . Right.?" Nandini nodded her head and smiled which made Navya hug her again and she whispered sorry in her ear. Navya continued after breaking the hug , "I am sure kisi na kisi ne to dekha hoga Danish ko uske system par apart from you.".
.
Just when Navya said this Nandini's eyes became wider and she smiled with the hope ; "yesss I got the idea" she almost jumped with joy.

"kya ..?" Navya asked her in confusion.

"Tum chalo you just come with me.." Nandini dragged Navya with her .

"but Hum Ja kahan rahe hain..?" Navya asked .

 "you just come with me we are going to the office. " Nandini answered her. 

" office really ; but Abhi To Tum Wapas aayi office se and why are you dragging me with yourself .?"

Navya was all confused and was asking her again and again. "you just come I think I got the proof ..!!" Nandini answered with s smile.

"what ..??? will you let me know something ..??" Navya asked Nandini but she didn't answered her and made her way towards the parking dragging Navya with her and made her sit in the car very quickly she started driving on the road and with a great speed.

"slow down Nandhini you are a great speed at this hour ..!!" Navya panicked but she was not in mood to listen anyone she just kept on driving and within no time she was in front of her office she quickly got out of the car and Navya followed her.

She almost ran towards the entrance and instead of taking the lift she climbed the stairs up to reach her floor. Navya was continuously shouting her name from the back and running behind her but Nandini was not listening anything and she just kept on running towards her bay and as soon as she entered her bay she stopped as there were people of the night shift on the systems doing their work.

She was out of her breath with caught everyone's attention . she saw Manik's system on which someone else was sitting probably the one from the night shift who had login into his system with another system login ID.

everyone was staring her with a confused look . just then Navya came and stood beside her . Nandini was not getting words to justify her sudden coming to the office at this hour instantly she came up with a lame excuse ; " woo I forgot my cell phone over here so I just came to take it." Everyone gave a small faint smile to her and got back to their work and she along with Navya took a sigh of relief

Navya whispered in her ear ; "what is wrong with you Nandu ..?? why you came running here like a maniac..??

Nandini looked at her and then started looking here and there on the walls. Navya couldn't get what was she up to and soon her eyes saw what she was searching for.

A smile crept on her face and she with eyes asked Navya to look in the direction where she was pointing from her eyes .

Navya looked around and saw the CCTV camera which was exactly focusing towards Manik's desk. Navya instantly turned her face around and smiled widely . both did not say anything they were smiling widely their eyes were doing the talking .

Nandini just held her to move out and they both came out of the Bay taking the lift down in the compound. " But Nandu ; how we will get the footage.?" Navya asked .

Nandini was already in thought of this only she said after thinking a while ; "let me talk to the security manager for once maybe he can help us..." saying this they both started to move towards the security manager's cabin which was on the ground floor only ; but just as they were about to reach they saw the cabin gate opening and Danish coming out from the cabin.

Nandini instantly dragged Navya to the corner but as she did not recognise Danish she asked Nandini ; " kya hua why you Drag Me to here ..?" 

"ssshhh..!!" she indicated Navya to keep quiet and indicated towards the cabin and with lips said Danish without letting the sound come out.

Navya looked towards the cabin and saw two men talking one of which was wearing a uniform. she understood that he was the security manager and the other person was Danish.

They observed them for few minutes ; they were sincerely talking to each other but the conversation was not audible to both of them and at last they both shook hands and Danish left as soon as Danish was away from the site ; they both came out and looked towards the cabin where the manager was counting the notes.

It was clear to both of them that Danish has bribed the security manager and he would not let any helping hand to them but still to give it a try Nandini alone went inside the cabin and made an excuse that her mobile is missing from her desk and she wanted to see the footage of the floor in order to check if someone has taken it from her desk but the security manager very politely denied her request saying he is not authorized to show the footage like this to anyone without the permission of the authorities .

Nandini was prepared for this but still she took the chance. Knowing that any argument is a waste of time with him ; she walked out of the cabin and shook her head in a no indicating to Navya that it didn't work. They both came home disappointed.

After reaching home Nandini freshened up and Navya lay down the dinner. Both avoided the topic on the dinner table and the dinner went on smoothly . After the dinner they both were relaxing on the bed thinking about the same matter.

Breaking the silence Navya said ; " there must be some other way also ..?"

"Nahi ; I don't think so..!! IP address of the system from which the mail was sent clearly matches with Manik's system. So we can't deny that fact but we can proof by showing them the recorded time of the mail sent comparing it with the footage that at that time ; ki woh Manik me nahi Danish ne bheja tha. " Nandini explained Navya.

"Par ab ye hoga kaise..??" Navya asked..

"There has to be a way round . Some back door ; any twisted path ; kuch toh definitely hoga." Nandini replied admist her deep thoughts.

Navya who by now was thinking smiled with wide eyes ; "ek Raasta hai..??"

"What..?!" Nandini replied immediately.

"Hacking..!!" Navya replied.
