Chapter 61 - Changes and the 'master' plan

Days passed, but, nothing changed much for everyone, except for Shanaya. She starts staying at Rathore Mansion and, whenever she would be at her flat, someone would be there with her during the night.

Everyone close to her noticed changes in her, but all they could do was ask and, most of them did it. But, none of them got a satisfactory answer from her.

Sitting in his office, Vihaan was busy in his work when his thoughts went to Shanaya and, he stopped working.

Supporting his head with the chair, he closed his eyes and, start going through the flashes of her. The changes in her were affecting him and, what caused him trouble was, no one was able to find out the reason behind her bitchy attitude..

To link her bad behaviour with her getting the job with Rathore's was not a good reason, for they knew she was not one of those who would change herself just because of a job. Vihaan knew the matter was big.

He jerked up when a thought came in his mind and dialling a number he spoke:" Come in my office immediately."

Within a minute, the head of the security was in his office.

Looking up at him, Vihaan ordered:" I want the CCTV footage of the last Friday within a minute."

To his words, it took the head of the security to proved the footages to him not more than two minutes and Vihaan was already going through the footages. But something was wrong there, were no records of the evening, to be particular, the records of the time Shanaya was in the company.

Someone had deleted them!

The last footage was of seven-thirty in the evening and, Vihaan saw Shanaya leaving the company, but she was not alone.

Accompanying her was the guard of the company!

He immediately summoned him, but no output came.

.....................................

The chaos of the club was enough for anyone to get distracted, but it was not helping Vihaan at all from getting away from the thoughts of Shanaya.

It was one of the Saturdays' night and, as expected by him, Shanaya had refused to join them stating she had some works. Since Shanaya was not joining them, they were free to drink and thus they planned to go to a club.

"Am I the only one who is noticing changes in Shanaya?" breaking the silence on their table, sitting on the sofa in one of the VIP's section, Saaransh gulped the tequila shot and enquired while looking at all of them.

"No, you are not" fully drunk, Avni answered and spoke," She has changed a lot, but she is not telling us."

"She shouted at me" taking a sip, Vansh spoke next and, when he saw others looking at him with shock, he continued" Yes, even I was surprised."

"She has stopped interacting, talking much, and is no longer in her usual chirpy mood." continuing the conversation, Avni spoke.

"And, She has started staying deep in her thoughts, lying awake in the night saying she has works to do, and not to forget keeping secrets, "Vansh spoke to give additional information.

"She is indeed keeping secrets" speaking for the first time on the topic of Shanaya, Vihaan spoke casually and told them about the footages and the scene with the guard, when they looked at him with confusion.

"She joins us late during our weekend plan, the same day someone deletes the CCTV footage for the exact time she is in her office. From the same day, she starts behaving differently, and she starts showing the sign of fear and nervousness." stating in his lawyer's tone, Saaransh looked at all of them and said with definite confidence" Something happened with her."

"Yes, but we do not know what!" shrugging her shoulder, Avni spoke.

"Why do not we make her drunk to tell us" looking at his glass of beer, Vihaan speak to himself but when he found others gaze on him, he found he has spoken aloud.

"I was kidding! Don't be a fool to think about it" he immediately spoke when he sensed them to be thinking of it as a solution.

"No, it's actually a good plan!" speaking with excitement, Avni voiced out her opinion.

"Dee, have you forgotten the scene when we made her drunk?" full of concern, Vansh questioned Avni.

"What! You made her drunk" it was time to see Saaransh's surprising reactions.

Vihaan made it appear as if he was not interested in the topic anymore, but the thought of Shanaya drunk made him curious and, his eyes ad ears were all on the topic.

Laughing at her mischief, Avni told Saaransh" We wanted to know her secret lover, so we made her drunk till she could tell us exactly what we wanted to hear."

The 'secret lover' caught Vihaan's attention and before he could stop himself, he spoke:" So, did you find him out?"

Looking at him, it was Vansh who answered" No, because the moment she started talking about him, we like a fool made her drink more and the last sentence we heard from her while unlocking her phone was" I forgot the password!"

Avni and Vansh laughed at the memories and, to his surprise, Vihaan too found him smiling at the imagination of drunken Shanaya.

"She must have been cute" thinking and smiling to himself, he heard Vansh"So, you in for this plan, because we know only this is gonna help us find out."

"I am in" it took not less than a minute for Avni to decide.

With a hesitation, Saaransh looked at Avni and then at Vansh, but when he saw Vansh urging him, he spoke"In."

When he saw them looking at him, expecting an answer, he took a long breath and said the word they wanted to hear" In."
