Chapter 33 : Sofia Finds Out.



Chapter 33 : Sofia Finds Out.

It was early morning as Ayaan was going towards Sofia's room to wake her up for breakfast.. He

entered the room after knocking on it and saw her folding the blanket..

S: Good morning.

A: Good morning and what are you doing?

S: Nothing why.??

He takes the blanket from her hand and keeps it on the bed and then makes her sit on it..

A: Your not supposed to do all this.. Your wrist is not fully healed yet..

S: I'm fine.. And this is the least I can do by myself..

A: No you will not..

S: but Ay-

A: I told you no.. First of all the doctor asked you to rest you are very weak right now.. And secondly

your wound hasn't healed yet..

S: Ok fine.. As you wish..

A: That's better..

He said giving a grin.. He kept the blanket aside after folding it and then took out the first aid box from

the side table and sat in front of her.. He took her hand forward slowly opening her bandage.. He stared

at it while slowly stroking it with his thumb.. Sofia gave an apologetic look seeing his worried face..

S: I'm fine now

A:I know it's just ...

S: I'm sorry..

A: It's OK ...

He cleans the wound slowly wrapping it in bandage..

A: Actually I have to introduce you to someone..

He goes out and then walks in with a lady holding a tray

A: This is your new maid..Shelley

S: What... No.. C'mon I don't need a personal maid..

A: You do.. And I'm telling you that..

S: But this isn't necessary..

A: It is.

S: And why is that.?

A: Because I said so...

S: Ayaaa-

A: I don't want you to argue anymore.. This is it.. She'll take care of your lunch dinner and all your

medicine while I'm gone..

S: Ok..

He takes the tray from the lady and keeps it in between them And then takes the spoon making her

drink the soup...

A: You know.. I met an old friend yesterday.. We knew each other from Germany I met him on a

business trip.. His name is Neil..

S: Really.. That's nice..

A: I was thinking maybe... We can Call him on lunch someday.. Before he leaves for Germany..

S: Yeah.. That's a good idea..

A: Really.? So... You don't have any problem with it..

S: Ayaan it's your house you can call anyone you want.. Why would I have any problem with it..

A: No.. I just thought you'll be uncomfortable with someone from outside.. And besides it's not so

important.. I won't call him if you don't like it..

S: No really.. I'm fine.. I don't have any problem..

A: Great.. so shall I call him... Um.. Tomorrow.? I'll call him on lunch tomorrow..

S: Ok good idea..

A: Ok..

He keeps the tray aside passing her a tissue as she wipes her mouth and then he gives her the

medicine..

A: Ok so now you rest.. And don't you dare do any kind of work while I'm gone.. I'll keep checking with

shelly.. Remember I have my eyes on you.!!

S: Ok Captain.!

She says giving a salute as he smirks giving her a nod and walks out of the room in a bossy Attitude..

She laughs at him as he says good bye while closing the door behind him.

Stepping out of the room he took out his phone calling the investigator..

A: Hello Neil.. How's your investigation going on.??

N: I'm searching about you house helps right now.. I'll see if I can find something..

A: Alright good.. I spoke to Sofia today.. You can come home tomorrow for lunch.. I told her your my old

friend from Germany that I met during a buisness trip..

N: Ok sir.. I'll be there.

A: Ok.. I'll make sure every one is at home so you can talk.. Just don't ask in front of Sofia.. I don't want

her to be suspicious..

N: Ok.

A: Alright I'll see you tomorrow..

He kept in his phone and went back to his room.. After changing he gathered all his files keeping them

in a bag and left..

Sofia was still lying in her bed but was not feeling sleepy.. She finally sat up.. checking her phone for a

bit she got bored again.. She decided to go check if ayaan was still home.. Entering into his room she

saw it all empty and clean.. His bag was missing so she assumed he already left and walked out.. She

was about to leave the room when she heard his phone ring.. Walking back in she found it on the

bedside table.. She huffed at him..

S: He forgot his phone again.. Always cares about everyone except himself.. So careless with his own

things..

As the phone was still ringing she went ahead to see who was calling.. Neil's name was flashing on the

screen..

S: Neil.. It's the same friend he was talking about today right..

She was about to pick it up but the call ended..

S: I'll tell him later his friend called.. Maybe I should call Nick to tell about his phone.. Just in case

Ayaan doesn't realise he left it here..

She unlocked his phone browsing through his contacts.. Clicking on Nick's name she was about to dial

it when the screen went blank and then Neil's name flashed again..

S: He's calling again.. Should I pick it up.? What if it's something important.. He has already called

twice..

She picks up the call putting the phone on her ear as she heard him speak..

N: Hello sir...

She scrunched her eyebrows wondering why he called Ayaan sir.. he said they were friends.. She felt a

little suspicious.. She heard his voice again saying hello as she hummed in a heavy voice not making it

obvious who it is.. Neil continued talking after hearing a response..

N: I haven't found anything about the house help but one of my sources just informed about a Camera

footage from a cafe.. That's where Mr. Smith met that man.. The man with the mafia group..

She was shocked hearing her dad's name as she tried to comprehend what was happening.. who was

the man.? Why was her dad meeting with a mafia gang member.? And most importantly why was

Ayaan's friend talking about her father..?? What was Ayaan trying to find out..? All these questions

were storming in her brain as she felt speechless..

N: I was going to collect the footage so shall I bring it to you or give you the report after watching it..

Not getting any response from her he asked again and kept repeating himself.. She was confused so

she just decided to ask him.. She was going to speak when the phone was snatched from her hand

startling her.. She turned around to see Ayaan who glanced at the screen and then looked up at her

worried with large eyes and carefully observing her expressions.. She just glared at him quietly and

then looked away breathing out.. He slowly put the phone on his ear saying hello.. She heard Neil

speak from the other side..

A: I'll call you back later..

She heard an 'Ok' from the other side as Ayaan ended the call and kept the phone in his pocket.. He

stared at her wondering how to start..

A: Sofi-

S: What was all this.?

A: I.. I'm sorry.. Look.. I...

S: What I.? Who was this guy..? Why was he talking about my dad..?? He was your friend right... Then

how does he know about my dad..? What was this about the man..? What is going on..?? There are

like a thousand questions in my mind right now...

A: Sofia It's just..

S: No more excuses Ayaan.. Just tell me the truth.. Only. the truth..

A: Ok.. Look come here..

He said holding her shoulders and making her sit on the bed while he kneeled down in front of her..

Holding both her hands he spoke to her softly..

A: I'm sorry.. I know I shouldn't have hid this from you..

S: What is it..?

A: You were right.. Your dad... He was murdered..

S: What.???

A: Yes.. and the person you just spoke to.. Neil.. he's not my friend.. He's an investigator I hired.. For

your dad's case..

S: You mean.. But.. Why.?? Why did you hide all this from me..?? It's my dad.. Ayaan..

A: I know.. I know it's about your dad and you have the right to know.. And trust me I was gonna tell

you.. But then you went into depression.. and then even when you were getting better.. You were still

quite.. I didn't want to trouble you.. I was scared to lose you again.. I'm... I'm sorry..

S: I.. I understand.. And after whatever I did.. I don't trust myself anymore either.. I get why you did

that..

A: I'm sorry..

S: No I..It's.. It's fine.. But how did you find out.. You said that drug was for heart diseases.. Then.??

A: I Lied to you.. My friend.. He told me these aren't used for any heart diseases..

S: So.. It was the cause of his death.. Then why didn't we find out anything in the reports..

A: Those reports were tampered.. When I found about the bottle I went to the hospital to see the

reports.. But they didn't give me any.. Saying it's confidential.. I realised that If we needed to find

anything we need resources.. And we don't have any.. So the first thing I did was to hire an

investigator.. I told him the details so he pulled some of his resources and got the actual report from the

hospital.. And in that one.. It was clear that there was a very high dosage of drug..

S: So H..He was murdered.. But why..? Who would do such a thing..?

A: That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out.. Ever since I found those reports we've been trying hard

to find out anything.. We've checked his call logs.. Locations and all the records we could find but..

There was nothing suspicious.. Nothing out of the ordinary..

S: So what now..?

A: We did dug deeper and I think we have a clue.. There was one man.. He came in contact with your

dad almost 5 months before his death and his last call was almost 2 months prior.. During these 3

months he was in constant contact with him.. It didn't seem suspicious at first.. but when we searched

about him we found that he had a connection with some underworld mafia gang..

S: I think Your friend.. I mean Neil.. He said something about this man on the phone just now..

A: What.?? OK.. Calm down.. Think and tell me what exactly Neil told you..

S: I don't exactly remember.. I got confused when he spoke about dad and got distracted.. But he said

something about a meeting..

A: Wait.. I'll just call him..

He takes out his phone calling Neil..

A: Hello.. Yes.. I was a little busy.. what were you saying again..??

N: I said that I found footage of Mr. Smith and that man talking in a cafe.. I wanted to ask if you'd come

or shall I give you a report after..??

A: No.. I'll come.. tell me where you are.??

N: I'm at my office..

A: ok I'll be there.

He said ending the call and kept the phone in his pocket..

S: What is it.?? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

A: it's good news.. We Doubted that man maybe blackmailing Uncle Jones.. We finally found a footage

of them meeting.. If we're lucky this might confirm our suspicion..

S: That's great.. Come On.. I'll come with you to..

A: No.. Sofia.. I can't take you there with me..

S:Bu-

A: Look.. just trust me.. I'll tell you everything as soon as I come back.. Just take care of yourself and

stay home..Ok..

He then held her hand again reassuring her with a nod as she gave a quite nod..

A: Trust me.. I'll find out who ever it is.. We both will..

S: I trust you..

A: Thank you..

He said giving a small smile to her as he kept his right hand cupping her face and gave a light kiss on

her forehead.. He turned leaving the room with a last glance at her who kept staring behind him at the

closed door now..
