If Sara had thought that things would be simpler,her life just threw a major complication on her face.
She has a freaking caller who threatened her.
Then an impostor entered and posed as Aditya.
Her suspicions were raised.
She immediately thanked god that in spite of her anger,she didn't reveal any of the answers.
She took out her smartphone and dialled Mr Malhotra's number.
She was getting antsy as she contemplated her next words.
After few rings,she heard Mr Malhotra's deep voice.
It seemed as if he was asleep as he spoke,"Hey.All alright there?"
She bit her lip as She spoke,"Can we meet now?"
She could hear few shuffling noise before She heard Mr Malhotra say,"Okay.I am reaching there by 10 minutes."
She nodded and She cut the call.
She stared at her phone before she tied her hair back and waited for Mr Malhotra.

After what seemed an hour to her,but were actually ten minutes, Mr Malhotra gave her a missed call.
She opened the door and saw him standing with a bunch of files.
She scrunched up her brows as she spoke,"Umm..I think I told that I want to talk.Not work with you."
He rolled his eyes as he spoke,"Do you really think I would work with you?"
She leaned on the door as she spoke,"I already did,if you remember dumbass."
She laughed at her choice of word while Mr Malhotra simply stared at her before shaking his head and giving an amused smile.
She soon stopped leaning at the door and gestured him to the house.
While she prepared some tea,Mr Malhotra arranged up some papers.

As she came back with brimming hot tea,Mr Malhotra seemed to be in deep conflict.
Sara couldn't help but ask,"What's bothering you?"
Mr Malhotra looked at her and said,"Sara,I would like you to accompany me tomorrow."
Sara looked confused as she asked,"Where?"
Mr Malhotra licked his lips as he spoke,"You will know that.But will you come ?"
Sara tilted her head,contemplating before nodding.
He gave a nod and let out a sigh.
They silently sipped their tea before Sara spoke up,"Look.I..I think someone is involved in that call matter and that Imposter guy."
Mr Malhotra seemed to not be surprised and spoke,"That's a good possibility.But a timing is a bit suspicious."
Sara turned her head to look at Mr Malhotra who spoke,"I think the people behind this are definitely out of timing point.Normally when you want to fool someone,you would make a foolproof plan,while this was clearly a 'Foolish plan.' What do you think?"
Sara nodded as she tried to process his words.

Mr Malhotra continued ,"Anyways,I brought these files on Mr Singh.Gotta say,I never liked him from childhood."
Sara frowned when he said childhood but let it go as he was obviously a popular figure.
She spoke with a disgruntled,wistful memories,"He never was a good man.I am always suspicious of his interests in my family."
Mr Malhotra took out a paper and gave it to her.
As she scanned and looked over the numbers,Mr Malhotra explained,"He has definitely taken up the company's fund into his personal interest.He transferred it in his firm and he hasn't shown his returns in IT.He hasn't filed his assets in years and he has a whole estate named on his dead fish."
Her eyes widened at the scam.
The more they looked into it,the more dark secrets of the money game came.
It was sure now,no one could save him.
Mr Malhotra spoke,after a long time,"Well he dabbled in black market too.I think Mr Oberoi knew about it."
Sara choked on her tea and coughed for a long time before recovering and asking,"Excuse me,what?"
Mr Malhotra sat back comfortably and sipped his tea.
While Sara had her breath held back. Did her dad know about his illegal stuff?
Did he not do any thing?
Was he a culprit too?

She suddenly wanted to slap herself over doubting in her dad and his ethics.
He always taught her to be righteous. She was suspicious of one who inspired her?
She decided to be quiet as Mr Malhotra spoke after a long gap.
It looked like he wanted to regain his composure.But why?
He spoke,"A day before,people had heard Mr Oberoi and Mr Singh fighting.People thought it was for property dispute or maybe on shares."
He took a moment and seemed to think back before saying,"It seemed that Mr Oberoi didn't agree with Mr Singh and warned him but instead Mr Singh warned him of consequences and went away."
Sara's eyes widened and she gestured him a minute symbol as she quickly messaged her brother Saransh.
She came back and told,"Can we wait till tomorrow?I might have a clue."
Mr Malhotra nodded and spoke,"That will be good."
Sara then spoke,"Mr Malhotra,you spoke that 'a day before'. What did you mean by that?"
She didn't expect him to answer,"The day before your mom lost your child and my everything."
What?!
And what did he lose?
And how does he know that mom had a miscarriage?
