Jerika was sleeping on a simple cot sound asleep. She looked like tired even in her deep sleep. A man walked towards her with handcuffs in his hand. He looked at Jerika who was sleeping like an exhausted creature in the most unsophisticated manner. If it had not been the exhaustion then definitely someone might had guessed that she was intoxicated or something. Some hairs were on Jerika’s face and the man removed the hair and flocked them away behind her ear. Jerika realized in her sleep that someone was near her, touching her. It seems like she was not in as deep sleep as it seemed like watching her. Jerika lazily opened her eyes and scanned the room she was sleeping in. As she was about to get up, the man handcuffed her from her bed she was sleeping in before. This came as shock for Jerika. She did not gather anything which just happened for some time but as soon as she understood, horror spread on her face. She looked up to see who did that to her.***** Back in the

Antoine was standing and looking at Isabel and Daulat whereas Daulat was trying to pacify crying Isabel. Daulat was not comfortable in pacifying some women he barely know but he gathered that he cannot leave her alone and besides she was connected to Jerika who was still missing so she became important for Daulat but only with reason. Isabel could not believe that Antoine was being blamed for Jerika’s disappearance in the beginning but now when she heard with her own ears that Antoine took a shot on Jerika knowingly, she had nothing else to think but to question the basis of her trust on her most trusted people, on her own husband. All Isabel had were questions and chaos in mind but she was devastated even without knowing anything for sure. She was afraid that truth might be hurtful or some kind of deception and she was not sure if she could take it. It was an emotionally trying time for Isabel and she was not handling the situation too well. Daulat noticed Isabel and her stat

Jerika woke up to put off her alarm as put last night before going to sleep. As she tried to stand, she felt a sharp pain radiating in her head and body. She looked for medicine but found none. She realized that’s he has some back in her office. She went to the bathroom to get prepared for the day as she chose not to miss it.“You getting ready for office?” Isabel said to Jerika rubbing her sleepy eyes.“Yes… what are you doing getting up so early in the morning? Get some more sleep” Jerika said while fixing her hairs.“Aren’t you tired?” Isabel asked leaning on the door to take support. Isabel was exhausted and under after effect of alcohol consumption.“I am and mostly I am hammered from last night. Don’t know how will I get through the whole day?” Jerika said with a faint smile.“Why don’t take a day off?” Isabel suggested.“A lot is going on.

Daulat peaked inside the room where Jerika was lying. He started at Jerika helpless lying on the bed, breathing with the help of machines. She looked in pain even in her sleep. Daulat flinched at the sight. He knew he could not surrender to his feelings but he was overwhelmed and there was no question about it. He looked around to see if there was someone around to stop him entering the room as it was restricted as per doctor’s instructions.Daulat sneaked inside Jerika’s room. She was asleep but still breathing and that counts everything at that moment. Daulat sat on the side of her bed and caresses her head and hair out of love and care. He was overwhelmed but his eyes were determined as he knew deep inside him Jerika will be fine and no matter how serious her condition is, she will make it and come back to life. She is lot more stubborn to be defeated by death so easily. He looked at her for few seconds and then he took her hand in his hand and pressed it light

“What proof is it? Can it prove his innocence?” Brian asked. “No… not really. But it helps in proving someone else’s involvement” Jerika said. “Who?” Brian asked. “You… it is the proof against you” Jerika answered. “I want to look at this proof. I want to know why you so persistently believe my involvement in your late husband’s demise” Brian said. Jerika had been blaming him and Brian was more than eager to know why? Brian knew he was not a saint and he silently prayed that whatever the proof Jerika holds against him should not be enough. He remembered nothing of the sot Jerika was talking about but Brian knew exactly what he was capable of and that worried him. He did not wish to become the reason of causing pain to Jerika. But Brian also knew he cannot run away from the truth… the least he could do was to find out what the commotion was a;; about in the first place. Jerika grabbed her laptop and played a video saved on the pen drive. The vi
