The Betrayal of the Love of Aminah
How Good

Aminah handed the picture frame she had just found in the fifth room to Shaheer Sheikh.

Without hesitation he showed the familiar old photo.

''What is this?', asked Shaheer Sheikh.

He saw the picture frame that had just been given to him.

Shaheer Sheikh gasped in surprise when he saw the photo shown by Aminah.

''This is a picture of grandfather!'', he said.

''Do you know the person who is with the grandfather in this photo?', asked Aminah.

The hijab-wearing girl pointed towards the photo of a man dressed in white kurta with a matching turban of color standing near the man with his thin mustache.

''I don't know him!'' said Shaheer Sheikh.

''Is it true?', said Aminah.

''Yes, I don't know him ! Why ?'', replied Shaheer Sheikh.

''Hhhh.'', Aminah's breath.

''What is it?', Shaheer Sheikh said.

''Do you really not know who this person is?'', asked Aminah repeating her question.

''No ''', sahut Shaheer Sheikh. ''Why ?'', he continued.

''Do you know my baba when you return to Janakpur?', said Aminah.

''Yes, of course I know your baba, Aminah!', said Shaheer Sheikh.

''Do you really know Baba Kapoor right?', asked Aminah.

''Mmmm.., yes.., but..., not very familiar because I only met baba Kapoor when he drove her home to Janakpur.'', said Shaheer Sheikh.

''Mmmm.., okay. I understand, Shaheer!'', said Aminah.

Aminah took back the picture frame from Shaheer Sheikh's hand and held it tightly while looking at the handsome man with a serious look.

''Who is the other man in this picture?'', said Aminah.

''I do not know for sure the people who are close to Salman Sheikh's grandfather because the grandfather never introduced his business colleagues personally, Shaheer Sheikh said.

''Is it possible that you never saw them at the banquet held by Salman's grandfather?', asked Aminah.

''Never !'', sahut Shaheer Sheikh.

Shaheer Sheikh looked towards Aminah with a shady look and smiled.

''I am not the person Grandpa Salman loves the most because of the personal things that kept us from getting too close, Shaheer Sheikh said.

''But at least you know one of your grandfather's business associates !? Aren't you the one who is relied upon in taking care of grandfather's company?'', asked Aminah.

''I am indeed the controlling head of the company owned by the Sheikh Family but because my grandfather is a stepson then I am only as a tool to run the wheels of the company's business is not entirely the owner'', said Shaheer Sheikh.

''Do you not know any of Salman's grandfather's close friends?'', asked Aminah.

''Never !'', sahut Shaheer Sheikh.

''Is it true?', said Aminah.

''Well !'' said Shaheer Sheikh. ''Because every time there is a celebration party held by Grandpa Salman Sheikh, I have never been present at those events.

Shaheer Sheikh stomped his shoes several times on the floor made of steel.

''Where are you going?'', said Aminah.

''I am !?', replied Shaheer Sheikh.

''Yes, you.'', said Aminah while nodding her head.

''I always go out with my friends to a place where we usually gather in crowds, '' said Shaheer Sheikh.

''Did you come out late at night, asked Aminah.

''Sometimes I never go home, Shaheer Sheikh said.

''You stay over ? With whom?'', said Aminah.

''I used to sleep in my father's house said Shaheer Sheikh.

Shaheer Sheikh looked straight at Aminah.

''I have never stayed with anyone else or spent my nights with other women even though I like women very much, Shaheer Sheikh said.

''Are there any more questions?'', Shaheer Sheikh said.

''Oh, no !'', said Aminah.

''I did not expect that the warehouse at this port belonged to Salman's grandfather's colleague!?', Shaheer Sheikh said.

Shaheer Sheikh circled his gaze around this two-story warehouse room.

His gaze looked very serious as he watched every corner of the room on the second floor where they were.

''Does this have anything to do with the ship accident that hit Baba?'', said Aminah.

''I think it is impossible but there is a small possibility that this is also related to the accident of the ship'', said Shaheer Sheikh.

''Was this accident intentional or planned?'', said Aminah.

''Come on, Aminah !? I myself do not know for sure the incident ?'', said Shaheer Sheikh.

''It would be a good step if we were to get out of this warehouse immediately because we have found evidence of this photo, Shaheer'', Aminah continued.

''Did you mean to take the photo with you?'', Shaheer Sheikh asked in shock.

''Of course because this is one of the clues that may be able to show something evidence that refers to the ship's accident, said Aminah.

''Hmmm.., all right.'', Shaheer Sheikh said.

The handsome man nodded his head slowly giving a sign of agreement over the opinion of Aminah who brought with him a frame containing old photos.

It is possible that from the photo there will be strong evidence that leads to the incident of the ship accident that occurred to Aminah's father.

''Just take the photo and it might be useful for further investigation, '' Shaheer Sheikh advised.

''Yes, I agree with you. And I will keep it until the accident is revealed, said Aminah.

''Let's get out of this place before the criminal finds us here!'' Shaheer Sheikh said.

''Did we not go around upstairs?'', asked Aminah. ''Maybe there are other new clues there that we will find!?'', he continued, staring up.

Where the third floor in the room had not been seen.

''No !", said Shaheer Sheikh. "We'd better not be there because we don't have enough time to go upstairs !"

"Are we going?", asked Aminah.

"It's a good step to get out of this warehouse as soon as possible because there are still some ports that we have not visited" Shaheer Sheikh said.

"But this is our chance to see it. And how good would it be if we went up there, Shaheer?" said Aminah.

"Hmmm...!?", murmured Shaheer Sheikh.

There was doubt on Shaheer Sheikh's facial expression when he looked upstairs.

He thinks their time today is very short there are still other ports that they have not visited.

"Wouldn't we waste our time?", asked Shaheer Sheikh.

"Just ten minutes we go up to the third floor to make sure things are there!", said Aminah.

"Well!", said Shaheer Sheikh.

Aminah nodded her head in agreement with Shaheer Sheikh's opinion.

They then walked towards the direction of the upper floor where the third floor of this steel room was located.

"Hurry up because we've been in this warehouse for an hour ! And the criminal apparently won't be coming after us!" said Shaheer Sheikh.

"Yes, I understand.", said Aminah.

The two stepped up past a staircase of steel skeletons very carefully so as not to hear the sound of their steps as they ascended to the top.

By the time they reached the third floor, Aminah muttered softly in her heart.

"How can Shaheer Sheikh not recognize the face of baba while baba often to Delhi for business affairs related to the Sheikh's extended family ?"

Aminah half glanced at Shaheer Sheikh who walked past her.

"Is there anything Shaheer Sheikh deliberately hid by not saying that he did not know the man in the old photo ?"

Aminah was stunned while tightening her hand grip on the bag she was carrying.

"Will he lie intentionally ? Is Shaheer Sheikh lying ? Why ?''

Aminah suddenly stopped her footsteps as her mind drifted to the photo she had found in the fifth room earlier.

"The good thing is I didn't tell her that the man in the picture was baba..."
