Two days later, after a big struggle, Priya was let to meet Raj.
The ever happy lovebirds, could hardly face each other. One is sorry for the other. One is worried for the other. They both were heartbroken and helpless. It was really hard even to put up a fake smile.
They kept looking at each other and were obviously lost for words. Raj broke the ice and started the conversation.
“Priya, how are you?”
She instantly started to cry loudly. Raj couldn't bear the pain. He wanted to live the heavenly life with her. But, unknowingly he dragged her into the hell.
After a minute, Priya continued to talk.
“How are you, Raj? What happened? I can't believe whatever I heard. It's heartbreaking. I don't understand what went wrong and why you are into so much trouble!?”
“I am clueless, Priya. I don't either understand, what's happening around me? But, one thing is for sure. I have been betrayed. I have been betrayed by the person whom I trusted the most. I can sense that. I have been backstabbed and sent behind the bars. And your life is at stake too, just because you are in love with me”
“Raj, I love you truly. And I will always be by your side in all ups and downs”
“I feel guilty, Priya. Even though, I have not committed any crime and don't deserve to be here, I feel guilty for ruining your life”
“Raj, please don't ever think like that. I will never leave you. Good or bad, let's face it together and I'll be with you. Just wanted to tell you something important. You know your manager…”
“Priya, I think you better leave. There is nothing more important than your safety. I don't want you to come and meet me never again here. I feel it's not safe. I will come to you, after I am relieved from all these accusations. Meanwhile, you and your parents stay somewhere safe”
Raj suddenly looked restless. He was looking around, as if trying to find out if someone is watching them.
“What happened Raj?”
“Priya, I sense something bad. Even walls have ears here. I feel like I have been constantly watched”
“What?”
“Priya, please leave right away. Don't ever come here”
“But, Raj…”
Priya was in tears. She didn't want to leave him. But, she couldn't stay with him either.
“Priya, please leave. Soon, I will get out of all these. We are going to get married and live our dream life. Trust me!”
“Trust you Raj and I love you!”, said Priya and left the place hesitantly.
She wanted to tell Raj that his Manager met her few hours before he got murdered. He gave her a packet and advised her to keep it somewhere safe as it had some important documents. Priya did not open the pack, but managed to hide it in the server room, in her hospital, without knowing the use of it. Before she could meet Raj and ask about it, he was already arrested and taken away. She thought probably the content in that packet might help release Raj from these accusations and cursed herself for being unaware of what's inside. She decided to meet Raj’s father, whatsoever, and tell him everything. If possible, she even wanted to take him to the hospital, retrieve the packet and hand over that to him.
