Part 5
"Hello"
"Yeah"
"Are you sure you can do this? After all he is the man you..."
"I know I can"...said Aliya cutting the person on the other line.
"Okay then, I leave it on you. But remember One single mistake..."
"You don't need to tell me anything...I..I know wht I'm supposed...to do. You just focus on your work"
------
Aliya looked at the photograph in her hand and spoke, "I know you weren't wrong...I know"
A lone tear escaped from her eye and fall on her lap. "I always trusted you...n have faith in you now also."
"You were not wrong...those people...those people were wrong...he was wrong!! Not you. I know that"
"I will do what I'm determined...but before that I have to know something."
She kept the frame and stood up. Closing the door, she stepped downstairs.

Next Day
Zain didn't ask Aliya about the photograph nor did he ask about Ghulam's wereabouts. Aliya said he must have stayed at his friend's house which is situated in neighbouring village. Aliya wasn't much bothered by this. He didn't see Aliya waiting for his father.
Zain saw Aliya coming towards drawing room.
Zain was thinking something he didn't realise Aliya had come close to him.
"Aliya"
"Yes?"
"Um can you...can you show me the place where you found me?"
Aliya didn't say anything so Zain further said " I wanna know the place where you exactly sound me lying unconsious...I need to found something. It may had fallen there!"
"Oh okay so do you want to go now?" Aliya said.
Zain had not think of going suddenly but what was wrong in going then,"Yes of course"
"Alright then"
Zain opened the door when suddenly Aliya said "Wait...I'm just coming in a sec"
She came up with two buckets in her hand.
"What's those for?"
"That is the place where I bring water from." "Here, take this", said she handing a bucket to Zain. "You can help me"
She moved forward and Zain followed.
"So thats how you found me right"
Aliya nodded. They walked a few mins and came across a lake which was sparkling like a mirror.
"Here" she moved towards a tall tree below which were thick bushes. Aliya got back to get water while Zain began examining the place.
He was walking around a bush when "There"
"That is where I found you"
"Hmm"
Aliya holded both the buckets in hand and was stepping towards Zain.
"Can we go.."..Aliya didn't realise that it was frozen lake she was stepping into. The bucket slipped from hand and she was going to drown completely in chilled water when... "Zain" Zain had come there in time holding her hand he pulled her.
"Be careful Aliya"
Aliya got the buckets and filled it again.
"C'mon now", said Zain moving. Aliya was not following him. His tone was like he was commanding a parade.
"What?"
"Do you want me to trip again Mr. Kundra so again you can save me and become hero or savior", said Aliya keeping the buckets down and crossing hands.
Zain looked at her confused then Aliya laughed slightly seeing that Zain also laughed. Aliya got a bucket leaving another for Zain to hold and moved forward.
"C'mon now" said Aliya mimicking him.
Zain shook his head and followed. This girl is strange. At one moment she become serious n strange and at another she behaves so so normally. You know what I mean right?
They entered the home and Aliya closed the door. Ghulam hadn't returned yet.
"Hey, you found what you were looking for?"
"What?"
"That what I am asking"
"Oh yeah, yes"
"Hmm okay"
Aliya left to change her slightly wet clothes.
----
"You wanna have something? I am gonna make tea for myself"
"No...you stay here I will make tea"
Zain got up and after a few mins came up with two cups of tea.
Aliya took a sip while Zain said looking at Aliya, his cup untouched, "So who was the person you were missing yesterday, Aliya?"
