Mere Liye Tum Kaafi Ho (Part-2)

The Hardships

"I need to ask you something Haseena. Is this all due to me? Anubhav is cheez me Hitesh or Makkar ke Karan phasa hai?", Mahira asked with tears in her eyes. Jennifer glared at her while Sharad bursted out in anger. Was she here for this?

"Mahira are you serious. You know the situation! Just leave"

"Sharad", Haseena shook her head. "Dekho Mahira...", Haseena tried to handle her calmly.

"Haseena I have something about the woman shown on TV. Please listen to me", Mahira defended herself.

For a moment it gave relief, a ray of hope in the fast ticking hours of her warning.
Haseena never thought she would still help them, even after getting betrayed by Anubhav and being on radar as a culprit.

She was immediately escorted to a safe room to get the lead. Only Haseena and Sharad were present in that room to make Mahira feel comfortable.

"I work for Mumbai Port Authority, a Manager in the Maritime Board. Khuch time pehle ek major server crash hua tha. It took us whole 2 days to get the systems work again. Databases me sab khuch store hota hai, the shipping, travel crusises, private boats or High ranked officers ke paas security related data. Most of the data was retrieved by a software lekin khuch data types we had to manually work upon. Waha private boat holders mein I came across her information"

Haseena's forehead creased. She was trying to find if it was 'more than meets the eye'. Sharad too glanced at her. How can she so aptly remember a face from a list of 100s?

"Are you sure you are not mistaken? We can not take a chance Mahira", Haseena replied. To which Sharad added further, in a rougher tone. "itne sab me tumhe yaad kaise hai Tara wahi ladki hai?"

She knew that it was hard for these agents to trust upon her, this time more because it was their loved one.

"Ye security attack abhi 2 hafto pehle hi hua", she passed some printouts having information and then continued, "you can confirm it with my seniors" Sharad excused himself to contact with the Head of Security in the Maritime Board.

"Haseena, I won't lie I had feelings for him...I felt betrayed but trust me he has moved me out of a hell.
I just want to help and payback...Tara ka chehra dekhte hi mujhe strike hua kyuki na sirf woh ek private space owner ki tarha listed hai balki ek ex employee ki tarha bhi. Both of the departments which were handled by me during the data retrieval program. I felt starnge. Kyuki humari itni achi salaries bhi nahi hoti. See her record. She has registered a high tech yacht and boat in the keeping space"

Haseena processed the information carefully. Anubhav could be there or any one Tara is getting help from or may be it was her place to hide. She stood up hurriedly hurting herself. Mahira panicked and supported her hands.

"Shukriya", Haseena hugged her for every help she provided. At the same time hiding her tears from her.

Sharad returned confirming all the information. "Hume tumhari or help chahiye hogi, Mahira", Sharad said to which she nodded. He requested her to wait in the interrogation room.

"Sharad we should immediately deploy our STF for a search there", she said fully charged up with the new clue. "We have one more information Haseena. Jennifer ne abhi mujhe bataya she has seen movements in Rajat's cousin's account. Rajat Anubhav ki hit list ko top karta tha. Woh ho sakta hai Jo samne se aake Tara ki help kare. We have too check that side. Avni is tracking that side too"

"Time nahi hai humare paas Sharad. Ek insider ki help ke baad bhi humme dock me exact location or cruise ke tourists ko handle karne me bahout time lagega", she was panicking more now in front him. He was like her brother. She was vulnerable to him.
"Hum sach  keh rahe hai agar Anu ko khuch hua toh hum mar jayenge", she felt a strong kick in her belly causing her to whimper.
Sharad hugged and kissed her head in a failed attempt to console.
