Naina - Sameer mujhe khud ke liye nahi aapke liye darr lag raha hai. ( *praying* Please bhagwan jii Sameer ka dhyaan rakhna.

• ───────•••─────── •

Arriving at the decided place, Sameer parked the car in the parking lot of a nearby coffee shop to avoid any suspicion.
Getting out of the car, he started walking towards the destination like any regular person. Finally after a few turns, the busy crowded street ended and came a stranded road barely being used by anyone. Soon a girl emerged from a distance. Her face was not visible because of the scarf which was intentionally worn to hide her face.
Walking casually, she approached Sameer.

Girl - Sameer Maheshwari?

Sameer - Candle Rosaline D'souza?

Girl - Right.

Sameer - The reason of you hiding ur face?

Candle - I thought you knew about it. No one has ever seen Candle. So it won't be you either.

Sameer - ( *raised an eyebrow* ) Glad to know that you aren't just a shadow

Candle - Well am not a shadow but am surely a nightmare

Sameer - ( *smirking* ) Let's get to work ( *entending his hand* )

Candle - ( *shaking his hand* ) Let's get those motherfu**ers

Both of the entered the forest situated on the right side of the road and started running as fast as their legs could carry them and after running for a few minutes, they finally reached a clearing in the forest. A large factory, away from everyone's sight was situated in the middle of the forest housing a lot of illegal activities, being carried out by the enemies of Maheshwari and R.R.D Industries.

Sameer - ( *taking out a walkie-talkie* ) Sab apni apni positions par ajao

Candle - ( *taking out her walkie-talkie* ) Don't dare to fire before getting our instructions

Taking a deep breath, Sameer took out his gun, and slowly forwarding towards the old and abandoned looking factory, signalled Candle to follow him. Being careful enough to not make any sound, they entered the factory.
Hiding behind a huge table, they peeked out only to find an alley leading to the hidden part of the factory where all the activities were taking place.
But right at the entrance of the alley, were standing two guards guarding the place.

Sameer - Let's go

Candle - No wait! We have to find a way to escape coz these guards would blow off our brains the very moment they spot us

Sameer - Listen we have to do this. We will go there, catch them, snap their neck, and once they will be dead, we will take their uniforms and use it to access this place. Are you ready?

Candle - Are you sure?

Sameer - More than I ever will be

Candle - Doesn't look like I have a choice then

Sameer - No you don't. So now, let's start our plan.

As planned, they got out of the place and the moment the guards turned back, they snapped their necks, killing them instantly.
Changing into their uniforms, they took the key and unlocked the door at the end of the alley.
As soon as the door opened, they sneaked in, it was a huge place, looking completely opposite to it's exterior. It looked nothing less than the villains or drug King's secret Base straight out of any movie.

Candle - What should we do now?

Sameer - Now we need to get to the control room to open the back gate for our team.

Hiding themselves from everyone's eyes and pretending to be regular workers of the place, they found the desired door and got inside the control room. As soon as they were in, they started operating the system but just as they were about to press a button, someone entered, catching them off-guard.

Person - ( *Thick Russian accent* ) You two? What the hell are you two doing here?

Sameer - Listen...

Person - I know who you are-
( *taking out his gun* ) You shouldn't have come here

Saying this, he started firing trying to kill Sameer, but fortunately Sameer was being able to save himself from the bullets. And finally, he pressed the button instantly opening the gate that they wanted to. Taking out his gun, he smirked looking at the person, and aiming at his head, shot him dead right in the middle of his eyes.

Sameer - You should've let us do our work peacefully. You filthy rat!

Within a minute, Sameer's and Candle's forces, entering the factory started firing blindly.
Some people entered the control room, hearing the firing while some started fighting with the other group belonging to Sameer and candle.
Seeing candle, struggling to fight off someone, Sameer snapped the life out of a person and ran towards candle to help her. But before he could do it another person attacked him, meanwhile the person she was fighting with, attacked her face taking her face cover almost out in the process. Though she successfully killed him, the cloth she was using to hide her face slipped and fell down. Panicking, Candle instantly picked it up and looking here and there to ensure that no one had seen her face, left the spot.
The fighting kept going for about an hour, before all the enemies accepted their defeat.

Candle - ( *wiping the blood off of her face* ) Finally the victory is ours

Sameer - Indeed.

Candle - So, what are we waiting for? Let's go

Sameer - Yeah ( *ordering his men who weren't much injured* ) Hamare log jo bhi injured hai sabko hospital pahuncha do. Aur in mein se ( *enemy's gang* ) jo bhi zinda Bach sakta hai uska bhi treatment karwa dena

Candle - Okie then. Let's go, we'll surely meet again

Sameer - We will. Very soon.

Candle - ( *confused* ) What do you mean?

Sameer - You will get to know, just wait for some time.

Smirking, Sameer left the place, leaving a confused candle behind. Sitting inside his car, Sameer started driving like crazy to reach the hotel. His face was looking emotionless, but his eyes were screaming thousands of emotions, one of them being anger - pure anger.

Reaching the hotel, Sameer rushed towards their room, and slammed open the door.

Naina - ( *shocked* ) Kya hua? ( *To herself* ) Inko beech beech mein daura padta hai kya? Normal entry kyun nahi maar sakte?

Naina - ( *rushing towards Sameer* ) Thank god finally aap agaye. I was terrified ki pata nahi kya horaha hoga waha

Sameer - Itni jaldi pahunch bhi gayi? And You were terrified? Acha mazak hai. Tumhe pata tha waha kya horaha hai

Naina - Kya? Sameer ( *checking his head* ) Sar par chot lag gayi hai kya apke? Aiye jaldi mein patti kar deti hun

Sameer - ( *pushing her hand away* ) Koi chot nahi lagi hai mujhe.

Naina - Toh yeh kaisi behki behki baate kar rahe hain aap?

Sameer - ( *holding her shoulders* ) Nainaaa I know everything. Aur drama karne ki zaroorat nahi hai

Naina - Sameer seedhe seedhe kahiye na aap kya kehna chahte hain. Yeh ghuma fira ke kyun bol rahe hain? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi nahi araha hai

Sameer - Naina! Main pooch raha hun tum kya chhupa rahi ho mujhse? Mujhe sab kuch jan na hai. Ab confirm ho chuka hun main ki zaroor tum kuch chhupa rahi ho. Tum hi Candle ho right?

As soon as Naina heard this, she forze on her place. And started sweating.

Naina - ( *Trying to avoid him* ) Na-nahi. Main koi candle, matchstick, agarbatti kuch nahi hun.

Sameer - ( *gritting his teeth* ) Don't. Mess. With. Me. Am warning you

Naina - I swear Sameer main kuch nahi chuppa rahi aapse

Sameer started massaging the bridge of his nose indicating how frustrated he was.

The very next moment Naina was slammed against the wall but he was careful enough not to hurt her. She was pressed between his hard chest and the wall with his hot breath fanning over her cheek.

" I am asking you for the last time. Say me the damn truth " He said huskily.

Naina - Kya pata hai apko? Aur kaise?

Sameer - ( *smirked* )

*Flashback starts*

Seeing candle, struggling to fight off someone, Sameer snapped the life out of a person and ran towards candle to help her. But before he could do it another person attacked him, meanwhile the person she was fighting with, attacked her face taking her face cover almost out in the process. Though she successfully killed him, the cloth she was using to hide her face slipped and fell down. Panicking, Candle instantly picked it up and looking here and there to ensure that no one had seen her face, left the spot.

But what she didn't know was that, that Sameer was standing behind her at a distance, and saw her face through the mirror that was placed infront of her, which reflected and showed Sameer, Candle's face.

Sameer - ( *shocked* ) N-Naina

*Flashback ends*

Sameer - Maine tumhe us waqt kuch nahi kaha kyunki main waha pe koi scene nahi create karna chahta tha. But now, Now I NEED MY ANSWERS.

By now Naina's eyes had started watering up indicating that she was close to crying.

Naina - Sameer I swear main wo nahi thi

Sameer - Naina aur kitna jhoot bologi? Main dekh chuka hun ki tum kaun ho, wo kaun hai. Toh aur kitna chhupaogi?

Naina - ( *gulping* ) Sameer I never wanted to hide this but I had to.

Sameer - Kyun?

Naina - Hai kuch wajah

Sameer - Mujhe jaan na hai. Aur finally maanti hi ho na? Ki tum hi candle ho?

Naina - Nahi!

Sameer - ( *frustrated* ) Yeh kya baat hai? Tum pagal ho gayi ho kya?

Naina - Sameer dekhiye shaant hojaiye, main sab batati hun

Sameer - Haan bolo

Naina - Main Candle nahi hun

Sameer - Firse wahi baat?

Naina - Sameer aap sun hi kaha rahe hain?

Sameer - Naina main nahi tum kya bol rahi ho? Ek hi baat ko baar baar repeat kar rahi ho

Naina - Sameer meri baat toh suniye aap pehle hi react kar rahe hain

Sameer - Toh kya karu? Tum hi baat ko itna ghumaye ja rahi ho. Seedhe seedhe kyun nahi batati ki haa ho tum candle, itne time se sach chhupaya aur abhi bhi jhoot hi bol rahi ho

Naina - ( *screamed* ) SAMEER MAIN NAHI HUN CANDLE APNE JISE DEKHA WOH MERI BEHEN THI CANDLE ROSALINE D'SOUZA MAIN NAHI!

As soon as Naina said this, tears started flowing from her eyes, her legs started shaking and weren't being able to support her and she was finding in difficult to breathe. Meanwhile Sameer was shocked on hearing the revelation.

Sameer - Behen?!

Naina - ( *Sat on the bed with a thud* ) Haan behen

Sameer - ( *sitting down beside her* ) Phir tumne aur tumhari poori family ne yeh baat chhupai kyun? Naina yeh chal kya raha hai?

Naina - ( *gulping* ) Apko bahut saari baate nahi pata hai Sameer. Hum dono ke asli naam, hum pehle kaha rehte the, humara past, kya hua tha tab, kuch nahi. But I guess ab time aachuka hai ki apko sab kuch pata chale ki asliyat kya hai.
