Part Fourteen"Asad!"
There were screams, he stared wide eyed, the sound of car crashing and then everything went silent.
"Sir ?" His vision focused back, he was in cabin, not on the road.
"Sir!"
"What's wrong?!"
"Huh?" Asad stared blankly at his informer who was shaking him, Asad felt the cold sweat on his face, his feet felt weak , he barely managed to slump on his chair.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"Do you need anything?" The person was worried but Asad didn't know why? He felt his rapid heartbeat, why was he breathing heavily, what happened?
"Water?" Asad lifted his hand to take water and noticed it was trembling, why? He looked down at his reflection on the glass table, his face was pale.
"Whose call was it?" That was when it struck Asad why was he shaken to the core, terror took over his face. The conversation repeated in his mind, the scream , yes it a woman's but it wasn't Zoya's, neither did the voice belonged to Zeenat or Nuzhat. It was just a hoax call, Mittal just wanted to frighten him, but what if it was one of the maids? No, it can't be hopefully, there wasn't any other sound except the scream at the right moment. He felt a hope ignite in him, maybe not everything was lost. He quickly got up and made a dash towards the exit, his informer trailing behind him , calling him back.
"Leave me alone" Asad said as he reached the car.
"But sir"
"Leave" Asad glared at him.
"Sir these!" The man panted standing beside him, Asad looked at the file and pen drive and instant hatred rose inside him, if anything had happened to anyone at home, he was going to make sure Mittal regretted it throughout his life. He took the things and got in his car hastily shoving them on next seat, he quickly picked up his cell and dialing the house number as he searched for Bluetooth device. He opened the app and checked the CCTV footage, everything was normal , there wasn't any sign of breaking in, the watchman was on his duty, but he couldn't see another watchman , the disguised bodyguard. He frowned but felt relaxed the house looked normal, she was fine at home.
"Hello" came a female's voice.
"Everything fine at home?" He asked as she spoke calmly.
"Yes sir , everything is fine" Maid replied confused.
"Where is Zoya?" He will feel better once he speaks to her.
"I will check" Asad drove out of parking lot.
"I can't find her sir"
"What?!" The worry was back.
"Check properly, she maybe with Khala or Nuzhat"
"They aren't home sir"
"Where is everyone?" He asked angrily.
"Sir, they went to airport" she replied.
"Airport?" as far as he remembers there wasn't any plan of anyone going to receive his aunts, he had arranged cars to pick up them. There was only one car that he used while other one was burnt by Mittal, be rented two cars for his aunts and their family.
"Yes sir" She told him Khala and Nuzhat left and they took the new watchman to drive the rented car as the hired driver has injured himself and can't drive. Asad felt uneasy at that thought, other guard was off duty today and if other guard wasn't home and even others then she was alone again.
