Karan is getting ready in his room when Faizi enters it.

"What is all this Karan..???"

"What is what...???"

"This three piece suit, date set up in the jail.. what is going on in your mind..???"

"The desire to get answers.."

"Like this by drowning yourself in more pain.."

"Yes like this.."

"Karan..."

Karan leaves without listening to Faizi.

Abiha steps inside the cell and is shocked to find it decorated with a dinner table kept in the centre. She notices Karan who was standing in a corner in a suit.

"What is going on here...???" Monami (Abiha) questions out aloud.

"I thought why not make it a date.."

"Date..?? For what reasons..???"

"You know I spoiled the last date so I decided to make up for it Monami... I am sorry my fault.. Abiha." Karan smirks.."Come have a seat"

Karan pours the wine and serves food to both of them.

"So let us start." Karan takes a sip of wine

"Is it a date or an interrogation..? Abiha raises an eyebrow

"I must say I like the attitude with which you are sitting here despite.."

"Despite what.. despite being caught by you... Karan I am still trying to figure out why are we sitting here as if this is a date when it is actually interrogation."

"This is not an interrogation.. yes I need answers to questions for my own good but ... but I will not use any force on you... Yes I feel I deserve answers to my questions but..."

Abiha cuts him in between and doesn't let him complete his sentence.."Ask your questions... I will answer them as much as I think you need to know but on two conditions."

"What conditions..??"

"One. Whatever we talk here will not be recorded. And Two. I also want you to answer some of my questions."

"These are ok with me.. I will also answer as much as I think you should know."

"Then go ahead" Karan was still shocked at the attitude with which she was sitting and speaking to him. Her attitude maybe this is what he liked about her, may be this is what made him fall for her.

Karan shakes his head and starts with his questions

"Were you here on a mission or you met these anti national elements after joining the academy..??

"I was here on a mission. Next."

"Why me..?? I mean why do drama of falling in love with me when you could have chosen someone else..or found out other ways of stealing the data.."

"You were the only person in the academy who had access to top level secrets and along with that was single. You were an easy target. My mission was to make you fall in love with me and then get access to the restricted area... I will reveal a secret to you.. I had hired some people.. whenever I used to call them they used to say and I answered them with . was used at every place..so whenever you used to say I LOVE YOU to me I used to be more driven towards completing my mission and when I used to say I LOVE YOU it used to be for my mission."

"Being a doctor, being late on first day, having an ex boyfriend, fake dating all this was part of your plan..??"

"You want to know to know the entire story it seems. I am trained doctor but yes the person who had an accident was hired by me.. I planned to be late on that day, I informed the police about the accident.. I did everything from the very first day so I could stand out from the rest, so that you notice me and I am not lost with the other cadets.."

Karan cuts her in between "The rope you cut on the first day.. you had training for that.. and you could have landed easily but you chose no to because it would have planted some seeds of doubt in my mind and you realised it."

"Great you are turning smart .. coming to the next question.. yes all this ex boyfriend plan was fake...I was on calls when no one was on the other side.. I planned to take you on dates.. Ex boyfriend plan was a part of my original plan but fake dating wasn't when I noticed you easily became friends with me and already liked me I included fake dating and you confessed to me.. I was waiting for that moment.. You made the task I thought would be most difficult, easy for me you were in love."

"You didn't take the bullet for me.. did you..???"

"After I did this elaborate planning you think that the attack on the mall at the same time when we were present in it was just a coincidence and the fact that all of them got defeated so easily. They were my people who had put their lives at a very low cost.. they attacked the mall held people hostages and then died .. a simple story.. they sacrificed their lives for my mission easy."

"A mission which failed. Sad." Karan smirked.

"Who said..??" Abiha raised an eyebrow and bent forward..

"What do you mean..??"

"Let this dinner date get completed you will get answers to all your questions. Now coming back to your previous question so it was pre planned that they will shoot me in my thigh.. because I won't have lost my life as hospital was near to the mall even if there is excessive blood loss. Moreover having a common blood group worked in my favour. The day nurses kept you out saying I was under anaesthesia, I regained my consciousness in the morning but bribed the nurse so that I can meet my people and you poor soul felt I was shot because of you, you held yourself guilty. So sad.. I waited till you cried a little held yourself enough guilty. This way I gained trust of all the members of the academy.. you already trusted me and this made you indebted to me so I could gain a better control over your mind and do what I wanted to do. One thing I don't get is how did you come to know about my truth that I was not what I claimed to be..."

"You continue with the story of what all you did and I will tell you how I caught you.."
