" What's wrong with me?" He asked her while heading back to the palace after his plan was successful.
" I don't know"
" Come on tell me ? What's so unlikable about me or what is it that makes you hate me so much ?"
" You lied to me "
" I didn't lie to you. I just didn't tell you the truth"
" Why?"
" Because you hated me. How will I know that you will help me? How will I know if I can trust you?"
" You should always know, I don't betray . If I think you are right , even if I hate you , I will support you."
" You are good "
" I know "
" Let's see then how long can you resist me " he challenged her.
" Resist you?"
" You don't think that I am blind,do you?
" There is nothing"
" Really?" He stopped to look at her.
She started refusing eye contact with him.
" Come on brown eyes , look at me. "
" It's getting late , we should --"
" We should?" He looked at her with mischievous eyes. He pushed her against the pillar , rested his hand just beside her ear and looked at her.
" Not even now?"
" N--no " she stumbled.
" No?" He asked again
" No"
" Alright then " He got away from her.
Both of them stayed silent.
" Why are you still standing here?" He asked her .
" What do you mean?"
" We have arrived near your room. You can go now, or do you want me to open the door for you?"
" No , I can go by myself "
" Good . See you tomorrow and thank you once again. It was all possible because of you."
" It's alright "
She went inside her room thinking about him.

The next morning Agastya went to the prison area once again. As usual a guard stopped him .
" Hey you! What are you doing here?"
" I am just looking ." Agastya said to the guard who stopped him. He was staring at the door which opens to the prison.
"Don't you know that people are not allowed here "
" I know "
" Never ever try to come here you understand? The prison area starts from there. If I let you near, I will be fired you got it boy?"
" Yes , I apologise."
" Go from here then ."
" I have a question "
" Boy , get out of here, I don't want to be punished."
" Just one "
" Be quick."
" What can I do to go in?"
" You want to go in ?! Are you insane?"
" I want to meet someone "
" Are you out of your mind boy, I am entertaining you because you are under my honour. I can't do it anymore. "
" Just a minute, please it's important."
" I don't care, boy . "
" You won't be punished, I will take care of that. What else do you need?"
" Get out or else I have to call my men."
" Money? Land? How much?"
" I said stop"
" One hundred gold coins ?"
" What?"
" You want more? You will get it after the work is done."
" Fine, fine. But I can't let you in but I can send a message if you want."
" Alright. I will write a letter. Thank you."
" Who do you want me to give your message?" The guard asked in curiosity.
" Alfez Ali "
" Him?!" He was shocked to hear his name.
" Do you have any problem?"
" No "
" Good. I will come back soon." He said and left .

He went to his room and started writing a letter to his brother. Due to this letter thing, he was late for his practice today. As he hadn't slept yesterday and was tired in the morning. He gave his letter to the guard and sent his message to his brother. After that he wasn't allowed to enter in the practice ground.

" Why were you late ?" Safeena asked him.
" I wanted to send a message to my brother"
" Why are you taking risks?!"
" I have to "
" The guards let you ?"
" They did."
" How"
" I offered them money"
" You are insane"
" I sent a letter to him and I am going to do that everyday ."
" Do you really have that much money?"
" I have "
" Alright just do whatever you want " she said frustrated.
" Do have any other way?" He asked her.
" No but --"
" Then let it work whatever I am planning. I can't go in , that's the reason I am doing this. If this doesn't work then I will commit a crime and go in prison if that what it takes"
" Agastya you , I didn't know that you are that desperate"
" You will know when you have only one person in this whole world to call a family. "
" What happened to your parents?"
" They died "
She nodded
" Shaheen told me about your mother."
" Oh"
" You were a lot attached to her."
" Yes I was "
" I understand why you are not letting me in " he sighed.
" Letting you in?"
" Yeah you don't let anyone in who you know are going to leave ."
She looked surprised
" You know I am going to leave that's why you are--"
" It doesn't matter who leaves, it Matters who stays . "
" That's why you didn't wanted to say goodbye to Salim. You loved him but you knew he was going to go that's why you ---"
" How do you know about that?!"
" It's okay and if it hurts you that much, then I won't force you to let me in because I am going to leave "
" Then leave what are you waiting for? We made a deal, you met your brother, now leave " she said with. Loud voice.
" I know we had a deal but, I can't leave my brother here alone . He is suffering and I want to make it stop "
" How are you going to do that?!"
" I have to find the real culprit behind this Safeena and without that I am not leaving."

" Agastya !"
" Do whatever you want but I am not leaving him behind "
He walked few steps and looked back at her
" Tonight we are going again , if you still want to help me, come "
" I will be there "
" Thank you "
" Do you have a plan to catch the real culprit?"
" Not yet , I Will speak to my brother first if he saw some one else there too"
" Alright "
" And listen, I won't let you be in any sort of danger. You won't get caught, I will take care of that. So don't worry and trust me "
" I will "

At midnight, they both went towards the backside. This time Agastya had planned a different distractions for the guards . He took his rope, Safeena aimed at the window, he climbed up.

" Don't you even dare to do anything like that" Alfez said in worry.
" So you did get my letter"
" I did and you are not doing any of that "
" I am going to ---"
" You are not . Don't waste your time here. It's dangerous"
" I don't care brother. "
" You will put yourself in danger"
" Once again, I don't care."
" And what about that girl? You are putting her in danger too, does she know?"
" No she doesn't and I won't put her in danger. "
" Please don't get into any trouble "
" I have everything planned out, trust me brother "
Safeena pulled the rope to let him know that it's time to leave .
He then said his goodbye and came down .
