Chapter 8

Sidharth gave her 100k as promised and handed her a card, saying, 'Now call this number right away, and you'll get a new job with a higher salary than here. Leave the club immediately in two or three days. If you encounter any problems, call this number.'

The waitress took the card and followed the instructions. She went home pretending to be sick. Sidharth and Dr. Singh listened to Milind and Naina's conversation from the club's room. 

Milind asked, 'Why haven't you done anything yet?' 

Naina replied- 'I am doing it. If you continue with this attitude, I won't help you at all.

Milind - Please, you need to be a bit serious. I'm in a lot of trouble right now.

Naina - Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Milind - Did you find out anything?

Naina (casually sitting) - Yes, first tell me, do you know anyone named Smith?

Milind (after thinking carefully) - No, I'm hearing that name for the first time.

Naina (thinking for a moment) - Milind, have you recently met someone who you suspect even a little bit?

Milind (after thinking) - No, I haven't met anyone like that recently.

Milind, opening a bottle of whisky, asked - What drink will you prefer?

Naina, continuing casually - Cold drink. I've quit drinking.

Milind, with a surprised look, asked - What? Come on, Come on liar, take a little. Are you afraid that I might have mixed something in it and I will harm you?

Naina looked angry and said - I told you No. Besides, you don't have the guts to harm me. I quit drinking a long time ago.

Milind - Okay, ma'am, can you at least have a cold drink?

Having a cold drink, Naina said that the deal would happen after 4 days. You have to stay alert and keep an eye on everyone. If you suspect anyone, let me know.

Milind, taking a sip of his drink, said - Well, I don't suspect anyone, but if you think the drug deal is happening that day...

Milind put his drink on the table, looking dejected, and said - You know, since that drug was found in my bag, everyone thinks I'm involved in all this. I really don't know who's behind all this. I just went that day to find out, but all this happened.

Milind looked at Naina with sad eyes and said - Everyone thinks I did something wrong. I drink, I'm the son of a wealthy father, so I must be the one who did everything. Even those who I thought were my good friends turned out to be opportunists. Only Dinakaran believed in me, that I was innocent. Today, he's in the hospital because of me. Even my own father thinks I'm involved in all this. That's why, when I was in trouble, only your name came to my mind, because apart from you, there's no one else who can help me. You're the only one who convinced my Dad and was willing to prove me innocent.

Naina, with a slight smile, patted Milind's shoulder and said - Milind, I know you're a scoundrel, you have a lot of flaws, but I can't believe you're involved in drugs. I don't have faith in it.

Milind looked at Naina and asked - Should I take this as a compliment or an insult?

Naina with a mischievous smile said - Of course, take it as a compliment.

Milind - Who praises someone like this?

Naina immediately said - Me. And burst into laughter.

Milind shook his head with a smile and said - Thanks for believing in me. And thanks for helping me.

Naina became serious and said - Milind, whoever has trapped you, either they have a personal grudge against you, or it's a political game because the elections are just one year away, and this could benefit the opposition parties a lot.
