Chapter- 47 Ben's demands.....

Eva left the details that the detective gave her, in Dr John's office. She was now roaming around Dr John's office, David tried to call her several times to enquire if she collected the report, but she didn't respond, so he came by himself to get the report. Her phone was in silence, so she didn't notice David's calls.

When David came , he saw Eva roaming around,

"where have you been Eva, where is your phone", he asked furiously,

"my phone...",

she remembered that she kept it in silence, but she said,

"sir , I forgot it in John sir's office, and I am here to get it, but it is locked"

she said that deliberately so that she can get the file out.

He was annoyed, " I can never expect something good from you Eva ,"

David took his phone out and called John ,

" Hello sir I am here at your office to discuss the reports, are you coming now or it will take time",

" oh .. David, I forgot to tell you, I have a conference to attend , I am going to San Francisco,I'll be back after the weekend, don't worry ,I'll call you later, I am on a plane " said John.

" Sir, wait " , he tried saying but the call was already disconnected.

He alluded at Eva raising his shoulders, to show he couldn't help, he took the file from her and started walking away, Eva stood there sighing,

he stopped and said, "but I think I know who have the key",

Eva ran to him,and asked,

" who's that sir...!!, please....sir"

he continued,

" but I don't know if he would help you or.... should I help him",

and walked away, Eva understood, about whom he was talking , Ben.

She ran to Ben's office, he wasn't there, she started searching for him everywhere, at last she found him in the wards, checking his patients, she can't interrupt him, so she stood there murmuring,

"will he help me ...or he'll just say no.... what to do...uhh I am always in this kind of mess...." ...she was moving back and forth.. talking to herself, he came out to see her babbling...and walking around restlessly, and laughed,

" So ,you're here for me ....good very good" he said.

She smiled and said, " yes,... I have a favour to ask",

he turned back and instructed his juniors and interns , and asked them to leave, he came to eva and said,

"ok ...now , I am all yours" with a crooked smile.

Eva asked directly,

"do you have the keys for John sir's office"

" hey ..but why do you want that?,..." he asked curiously.

"It's a long story , but in short, I forgot my phone there" she said.

he thought for a while and said,

" well...that's confidential....you need access to go in, but I don't",

he said with something on his mind.

She said " please..., let's go",

he continued, " please .....won't help you, nothing comes free,"

she realised that he is up to something, so she directly asked,

"What do you want from me Ben , anything in my limit is fine, but now let's go..."

he smiled ," ya it's in your limit of course, let's go on a date.... officially, tonight"

Eva looked at him seriously and then smiled,

" ok ...fine... tonight...ok....now let's go to get my phone,"

she said that and dragged him along and ran to John's office, they reached there, he took out keys, and opened it, she rushed in and pretended to be searching for phone,

"where did you put it, Eva " he asked

she secretly kept her phone under the table near Ben and said, pointing her finger,

"It's there, near your shoes, Ben ", he bent to pick it up, she instantly hid that file in her coat, and stood up normally, he gave the phone to her and they went out, closing the room.

She said, "thank you very much....now bye ..ok... I'll get going"

He said, " Now you are being mean .....ok fine...dress up beautifully , I'll pick you in the evening,"

"hmm "said Eva and ran to the terrace,

She was eager to see what's inside ,so she opened it immediately, and started reading,

Eva was stunned, to see that, Serra's details match to one of the blue diamond buyers, that was a great clue , she thought,

" So my intuition was true, that pendant belongs to Serra but, why her, and how is Era connected to her,...uhh it's a mystery again, but it's good that I finally have a lead, but I can't share it with any anyone for now, I'll tell David later."

But that information costed her a lot,...she went to the office and submitted a request for changing duties, and went to see Era, when she reached there, Era's caretaker met her and told her all that happened to Era yesterday, she went in , David, was giving Era medication, he saw Eva and asked,

" Did you get your phone back ?"

Eva was so sad after hearing Era's situation and was blaming herself for putting her in danger, ....she couldn't control herself and broke down in front of David, she started crying desperately, David was confused, seeing her crying this much, he went near her and asked,

" Did he make it, that hard for you...Eva , I'll take him down... you just wait and watch", he said,

" uhhn....it's not because of Ben," she said,

" then,..." he asked,

she started speaking her heart out,

" It was my fault from the beginning,... I caused her harm , ....

I am the one scraping her wounds...." she started crying again.

David smiled and said,

" I don't know, what made you think that way ,...but , do remember that you gave us a hope, ...a hope which was buried inside us, I was losing her everyday little by little,.... until you, showed up, you become a medium between us ...made us confess that deep painful secret of our lives, that we have been hiding in us for years, we have no regrets now .... because of you...so don't ever blame yourself, .....and about Era , we'll get her back soon",

It was an emotional talk, she felt so good after hearing that, and was excited too,

David brought Era's reports and said,

" I am sure you didn't go through it, did you? " he sighed, she looked at him with her bunny look again, he continued,

" what could I expect," he showed her the report, and said,

" See....do you know what it means,.... she is improving very fast and if her conditions go well she can be operated, that's a very good progress Eva,"

she was super excited and hugged him, he was happy too so he didn't resist , then suddenly they get there senses back, she backed off, and sat straight,

"There's nothing to do here, now you can get back to work," he said .

she was so happy, and was almost jumping with happiness...

But this kind of happiness never stays for a long time in Eva's life.

While she was stepping out,

David said,

" hey, wait ,I forgot to tell you, on Monday there are four consecutive surgeries , so be prepared, I kept the references on my table in my office, take them before going, and this time don't ask Era for help.....you have been slacking off your work, ...go now".

It really didn't stay for long, Eva left the room with a dull face again .....but this time she is already prepared....
