TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 46

SUJATHA’S HOUSE

Zaki and Soha reached Sujatha’s apartment... They got out of the car...

Soha: Sujatha lives in this apartment, right?

Zaki: Yes, actually, she’s the only one staying in Mumbai...

Soha: Okay...

They headed to the lift, but unfortunately, it wasn’t working...

Soha: Shit, yaar, the lift isn’t working...

Zaki: No problem, we can take the stairs then!

Soha: Okay, which floor is her house on?

Zaki: 10th floor!

Soha: Kya, 10th floor, and you want to take the stairs! You know what, let’s just wait until this lift is repaired!

Zaki: Then we’ll have to wait until tomorrow, I guess!

Soha: What?

Zaki: Arey, do you think they’ll come and repair it so soon!

Soha: Matlab, we need to climb the stairs to the 10th floor!!!

Zaki: Yes, madam!

Zaki and Soha started climbing the stairs, with Soha ahead and Zaki behind... Soha accidentally stepped on some plastic on the stairs and lost her balance... Before she could fall, Zaki caught her... When Soha realized she hadn’t fallen, she opened her eyes... Zaki and Soha got lost in each other’s eyes... Their trance was broken by someone’s voice behind them...

Old lady: Arey, planning to block the way like this, are you?

Zaki helped Soha stand properly, and they let the old lady pass first...

Zaki: You’re okay, right?

Soha: Yeah, I’m fine!

They reached the 10th floor and kept ringing the bell... After five minutes, Sujatha came and opened the door...

Zaki: Yaar, what took you so long to open the door?

Soha: Hey, were you sleeping? I mean, your eyes are red...

Sujatha: No!

Zaki looked at Sujatha’s face and realized she had been crying so badly that her eyes were swollen...

Zaki: Stupid, she’s been crying so much, that’s why her eyes are red!

Soha: Arey, even when we wake up from sleep, our eyes can be red, right!

Zaki: Hey, Sujatha, what happened?

Sujatha: Everything is over, Zaki! I’ve ruined everything!

She started crying badly... Soha realized Zaki was right, so she held Sujatha and hugged her to make her feel better...

Soha: Sujatha, crying won’t help us understand what happened! So, speak up and tell us what’s wrong!

Zaki: Okay, let’s go inside first...

They went in, made Sujatha sit on the sofa, and gave her some water to drink...

Zaki: Okay, now tell us what happened!

Sujatha: Remember, I used to go for lunch with Arjun, the wrong-number guy?

Soha: Oh, yes!

Sujatha: He was only after me to steal the design, and I was so stupid that even during lunch with him, I was busy re-sketching the design, making it easy for him to steal it!

Soha: That means Harshad used Arjun to steal our fashion house’s design, right?

Sujatha: Yes, and today they presented our design, and because of me, I don’t know how much humiliation Manik sir had to face!
