Chapter Six: Can't let it out.
Ruhani
This was impossible. 'Calm down Ruhani' I said to myself. I need to find out who's this mysterious
advisor, else everything will be a mess. I won't let it happen, I can't let
this secret out at any cost.
On returning from hospital, I
myself started searching for the diary. I needed to find it before it gets into
Rehan's hands. I shouldn't have been
giving this to her. It was a terrible idea. I had begun to hyperventilate.
Oh god! Please don't let anyone find that diary. I searched in Tanya's room. Nothing had
changed since the incident. But the room seemed to be cleaning regularly. I
searched in every possible place I could find that diary. I can't let anyone
know about my secret.
From the window, I noticed
Rehan's car was already parked which indicated his arrival. I quickly sorted
the mess and when I was about to turn around to leave, someone tapped on my
shoulder startling me.
I gasped spinning around,
completely shocked for the moment.
“It’s just me,” said Rehan,
trying to suppress his laughter,
"What are you searching for?"
"No…nothing that
important. I just lost one of my earrings. I thought it might have slipped
inside" I replied, quickly inventing a lie.
"Ohh, anyway there's a
good news. Doctor said Tanya will be soon regaining her conscious." Rehan
said, his face brightening.
"Well that's great news
Rehan!" I said with a fake smile plastered on my face as I hugged him.
"Yes, let's hope for the
best. But now, I really need some good sleep. I'm going to bed. See you
tomorrow." Rehan said hugging me
back and then heads towards his room.
"Rehan! Wait..." I
called out.
"What happened?" he
asked.
"Can I get the number,
you received call from this morning? I know a few guys who can help us to find
out about this person."
Rehan gaped at me like a
fish.
"I think we shouldn't
try to find who he is. He warned me not to. And on top of it, I don’t want to
lose any help we are getting, even it involves people I never met before.” He
said with a poker face.
"I thought if we find
who called you this morning then we could reach the truth more easily." I
said looking down, fidgeting dress with my fingers.
"No that might lead us
into trouble right now and trust me we don't want any now."
"Okay,” I said, trying
my best to not to show my disappointment, “Good night."
I couldn't convince Rehan and
get the number but anyhow, I need get that number and find out about the guy as
there were chances of him knowing my secret.
I had somehow successfully
convinced uncle for not letting cops involved in this case. As it might lead to
unwanted publicity and a negative impression on his image, which might not
prove helpful for his business empire.
Since Uncle were in the
hospital with Tanya. I thought of sneaking into his room and search for the
diary. His was the only room left. I started searching but found nothing except
a lot papers and different kinds of files.
While I was searching, one of
the file grabbed my attention. I opened the file, it was containing uncle's
final will statement. I started reading through it. It read that after the
demise of Mr. Vijay Arora, all his wealth and property would be handed over to
his son-in-law. I knitted my brow in confusion. Why would anyone give all his
wealth to his son-in-law instead of giving it to his own daughter?
I then heard footsteps coming
right this way. My heart hammered beneath my chest. I kept the file back where
it was quickly and sneaked under the bed. The footsteps were getting louder.
The door opened. I couldn't see the faces but there were two of them. Probably
a man and a woman.
They were possibly drunk.
Both dropped on bed and I guess they were planning for some enjoyment. Dammit!
I mentally chided myself. I so didn’t want to hear the upcoming noises. This
could be too awkward.
