After two days of having hands full Monami finally gets time to talk to Karan.

In these past two days she didn't get any time to think about the chaos due to last minute assignments which needed immediate submission.

Monami knocks Karan's door...

She repeats the process after waiting for 5 minutes for someone to answer the door.

Still no answer.

Monami is about to repeat the knocking when she hears Karan's voice from behind her... and she jumps out of fear..

"Monami yahaan kya kar rahi ho...???"

"Woh main tumse milne aayi thi... knock kar rahi thi par koi answer nahi tha.."

Karan lifts up the lock hanging on the door ... "Haan kyunki andar koi nahi tha.."

"Maine lock nahi dekha.." Monami smiles sheepishly

"Koi baat nahi.."

"Baat karni thi .. isiliye aayi thi..."

"Tumhare room mein hi chalte hain.."

Monami nods.

They both sit across each other.

"Bolo" Karan initiates conversation...

"Maine tumhe bataya tha na mere andar bahut saare sawaal hai... "

"Aur tum tab unhe poochhne ke liye taiyyar nahi thi..."

"Haan lekin ab main hoon.. I processed my thoughts and gathered these questions.."

"I hope main tumhare saare sawalon ka jawaab de paaun.."

"Mujhe present scenario jaan na hai.."

"Mtlb?"

"Abhi uski jo organisation thi uska kya haal hai...??"

"Ohhh .. they went inactive after killing her. Unhone humara bahut saara ammunition churaya tha jo unhone use nahi kiya hai... Academy se search parties forests mein abhi bhi usko dhoondh rahi hain... Jab tak woh unke paas hai tab tak unke dobara attack karne ka khatra hai..."

"Achha... toh academy ne kuchh strategy banayi hai kya ki agar woh dobara attack karenge..."

Karan gives a not so friendly look at the question.

"I understand Karan, you can't reveal these things to me... I was just curious.. " Monami speaks after reading his expression..

"Thanks for understanding.. the plan though still under processing can't be revealed due to safety reasons.."

Nodding in understanding.. Monami puts forward her next question.. After taking a deep sigh

"Did she look exactly like me ? Like how ? Do dopplegangers not only exist in fictional world ? Like I know people say 7 people who look exactly like you exist but is that true ? I am science person yet I never took the pain to check if that is true."

"Monami her postmortem showed she underwent multiple plastic surgeries so I guess you were her chosen target. Why? We don't still know. Actually we all tried to bury this incident so deep that we didn’t even try to research if she took an actual face or just something random. The only difference I can point out from afar is the difference in eye colour rest I don't know" Karan doesn't point out the other differences he had noticed because that would make him a creepy stalker and could make Monami uncomfortable.

Monami nods with a slight smile.

"I know you are not her, I explained that to myself. I made academy people especially Faizi run background checks on you..." Karan speaks guiltily..

"So do you trust me now?"

"No."

"That was quite blunt."

"Sorry I didn't mean it that way.."

"Trusting now is a very hard process for me it is something that takes a lot of time..."

"I can understand.."

"Main abhi apni life mein sirf Faizi aur Batra Sir par trust karta hoon... Haan mere parents hai woh bhi trustworthy hain but..."

"But...???"

"Shayad maine apni life ka zyaada samay ghar se door bitaya toh mere liye...itna asaan nahi hai.. Maine unse zyaada zindagi ke saal Faizi ke saath bitaye hain.." Karan bends his head...

"Karan humne apne parents ke saath kam hi time kyun na bitaya ho woh humare liye kisi na kisi tareeke mein special hote hain.. aur unknowingly hum unpar kaafi trust karte hain.. yeh baat maine apne parent's ki death ke baad sikhi.."

Karan lifts his head up and spreads his lips a little, just noticeable to someone looking at him closely...

"Assuming tumne 'I am sorry about your parents' .. 'Oh! I didn't know about them' nahi bola so I guess tumne jiss se bhi mere upar background checks karwaya the usne tumhe saari information de di thi.."

"Sorry I didn't realise mujhe yeh bolna chahiye tha.."

"Not at all.. I mean I am not sorry about my parents death"

Karan shows a confused expression on his face...which Monami immediately scans..

"Wait I don't mean it like that.. Mera matlab hai ki unki death ne mujhe ek direction provide kari... Haan I do miss them... I miss them alot... Bahut jagah wish karti hoon kaash woh mere saath hote... shayad life better hoti hai... but main yahaan nahi hoti main kabhi realise nahi karti ki Yeh jo meri mom ka sapna tha woh mera bhi sapna hai... Mujhe meri life mein ek direction mili... Haan iss cheez ka regret humesha rahega ki kaash woh hoti mujhe apna sapna poora karte dekhti... yaan kaash main cheez jaldi realise kar leti... but I know ab woh mujhe upar se dekh kar wahaan ek happy place mein hongi satisfied hongi... Mere mom and dad ek doosre se bahut pyaar karte the.. difference of opinion bhi rakhte the but phir bhi... unke pyaar mein kabhi kami nahi hui... Abhi bhi woh donon saath hai jahaan bhi hai mujhe bas iss baat ka sukoon hai..."

As she stops she notices Karan blankly stating at her..

"Zyaada lamba ho gaya kya ...??"

"Kabhi maine kisi ko aise open up karte hue nahi dekha tha... mere se.. so mere liye kaafi overwhelming hai I guess..."

"Ohhhh"

"Maybe opening up is the key to trusting each other.." Karan smiles brightly..

This was the first time Monami noticed the dimples on his cheek, his bright smile, how wide his lips could curl...
