Everyone else -_-
"What just happened here" Arav asked confused.
"How is Anaya here already? I don't remember her seeing on the way?" Elisa was equally confused.
"How did it all turned out as Rehan taking revenge on us? He simply showed us the way here?" Aisha pondered.
Sam finally gave a look at his surrounding. His eyes widened as he realized something. He snapped his head and look at the apartment number then released a long sigh as understanding dawned on him.
Sam asked, "Dheer, what is your apartment number?"
"3001. But why are you asking me this? Dheer questioned to which Sam shook his head.
As if understanding something, Eva looked around and gritted her teeth " That dumb Rehan, he dared to fool us. I will beat him to pulp this time. How dare he made us work like this."
"What are you talking about Eva?" Arav asked.
"Just look around. Don't you find this hallway familiar?" Eva sighed.
"That's what we were talking about before. This hallway really looks familiar." Elisa said as she once again looked around followed by others.
A sudden realization hit them. They snapped their head to the right, then to the left and then they saw the apartment number they were in front of.
Dheer stood at once and ran to the apartment next door that was on his right. "W...Wait. T... This? This is my apartment!!" Then he ran to where others were standing and looked at the apartment number. 3002 was written on the door. He was speechless.
"Wasn't this apartment owned by some Mr. Singh before" Elisa inquired still dumbfounded at their finding.
"Yes, it was but she moved out a few days ago and sold this place" a sudden realization struck Dheer as he said this and slapped his forehead "Why didn't I think of this. I really have to thanks Rehan for coming up with this."
Just then Anaya appeared again "What's taking you all so long to come in? Come in guys and get some rest." She took another box inside.
Her words brought them back to their senses and they carried the remaining luggage with the strength that was left. Once inside, all of them slumped on the couch and drank water served by Anaya.
Rehan was grinning from ear to ear watching them like this.
After helping Anaya to set her things, all of them left to let Anaya rest as she had to embark for the camp the next day.
****Back to Dheer's apartment****
A cold sweat enveloped Rehan as he looked around. His friends surrounded him, glaring at him, while he was made to sit in a single chair in the middle of the living room. He felt like he was some sort of a criminal and all these policemen were here to get a confession from him. He wondered how those criminals managed to withstand such intense pressure and abstain from confessing.
"Speak" Just a single word from Elisa and he began shuddering.
He gulped when he met their gazes and cursed himself for hiding this. He began prattling like a parrot.
"When all of you were planning how to unmask Anshika, I thought what would happen if it didn't work or a situation like the one now would happen? I knew if it were the case then Anaya would surely move out. And I knew how much Dheer loved her and would be hurt if this happens. So to lessen the damage to his heart I thought what if Anaya move out but stay close to him. Like right now even if you both are in the same apartment, it's like you two are neighbors. So whether it's the same apartment or the one adjoining one it'll be the same as long as you can see her daily.
That's when I came up with this idea. As each floor on the Royal tower only has three apartments, I investigated your neighbors and found out that the Singhs were having problems with the commute to their workplaces. So I looked for a suitable place for them and approached them and made an offer which they couldn't refuse. That's how I got this place.
I wanted to tell you all but after what happened last time, I was scared that you all will think that I'm thinking negatively and cursing for them both to get a divorce. I know, I could have talked to Sam but I didn't want to bring his morale down at that time. So I decided to keep it a secret and approached Anaya and offered her to rent this place.
She was hesitant at first that it would not be right, but the night when she saw the real Anshika for herself she called me and agreed to rent it. She was worried about Dheer and wanted to keep an eye on his condition so that he would not do anything stupid. I asked her to keep it a secret from you all telling that El was sad that she was leaving and it would be a surprise for El when she finds out that she was moving next door on the day itself. And the rest you all know why I did what I did today." Rehan took a deep breath as he finished his monologue in a breath not leaving anything out.
