"I know Helly...." Said Rrahul hastily.
"But sir.....?" She added throwing her hands up in frustration.
"Sir?" Rrahul retorted immediately.
"I mean Rrahul..." she said in a much softer tone...
"Rrahul she addressed herself as Joshua Regel..." Said Helly.
Helly went to a deserted corner in the set and called the copied number.
"Hello.." she heard a familiar voice.
"Why do I feel I heard this voice" Helly asked to herself.
"Hello?" The voice on the other side of the phone called again.
"Hello...Nimmo I am calling you from past two days. Where are you?" Helly spoke modulating her voice to a shrill note.
"Sorry you are mistaken. I am not Nimmo" she heard the voice saying.
"How could it be possible? Jitendra mausa (uncle) has sent me this number" Helly retorted in the same modulated voice.
"I guess you have made some mistake. This is not Nim..Nim...." the resembling voice had a trouble remembering her name.
"Nimmooo" said Helly.
"Yeah yeah...Whatever" she heard the voice owner shrug off nonchalantly.
"Then who are you? Nimmo stop playing okay....."
"Listen to me..."
"....I know it's you...."
"Please..."
"....Stop playing" Helly screeched like a stubborn kid and forced on words in an attempt to get her real name.
"Will you please listen to me??" The voice owner shouted out and Helly stopped abruptly, "I am not Nimmo... This is Joshua...." Helly heard the and her lips pursed in annoyance, " Joshua Regel"
As soon as Helly heard her full name, she felt the floor under her feet slipped off..
"Joshua Regel?? Regel?"
"Did you get me?" Helly snapped out as Joshua asked her in a stern tone.
"Okay..sor- hello?? hello??" Helly was about to apologize in her original voice but the call got abruptly.
"Maybe some other Joshua Regel" said Rrahul sliding himself back on his throne.
"How many Regel's are there in Mumbai?" Asked Helly in an uninterested tone, "... And most importantly why was Manoj informing this Joshua Regel about your whereabouts?" She completed and rubbed her fingers against her face.
"Do you think this Joshua Regel is related to your boyfriend?" Asked Rrahul after a moment.
"Roaan doesn't have any sister...." Said Helly thoughtfully, "....I don't know about his cousins though, but why she want to know about you?" Asked Helly in the same thoughtful manner.
"A stalker?!" Helly shrieked out, "....Rrahul someone from his family is stalking you. I need to talk to Roaan.." she decided and looked at her Boss for response but He was busy lost somewhere else.
"Rrahul did you hear me?" Asked Helly shaking him a bit.
"Yeah...Uh...Yes. you talk to Roaan" said Rrahul, "And I need to talk to someone too" His eyes holding a sharp glint.
