Chapter 24

CHAPTER 22:

After breakfast they meet at the room again. Shree had the map of the location, together with the map given at the reception. they had the mics, trackers etc with them. Shifali was again impressed with their preparations.

"so team we'll split in teams. Hum ek saath nahi challenge, just to make sure everything is fine. Arjun tum Riya ke saath hoge. Shree you'll be with Ridhi. And do take care of her. Raj, Shifali and myself will be together. We'll take 3 routes and reach the same point were Shifali mentioned. Everything clear?"

"par, bhai humme kaise patha hoga wo jagah kaunse hai.?"

"its ok.. it is easy.. is jungle mein kayi jagah pe yaha ke log hai for guidance. Unse poochlena ke yahake sabse famous lake kaha pe hai? Its closer to that point. Uss point ka naam Point:1906 hai. And its also mentioned in the map.. agar kisine poocha, tho batha dena ke lake dekhne keliya jarahe hai..kisiko koi shak nahi hoga" Shifali said with a smile to Ridhi..

"ok then lets move on.. but be careful.."  they went in teams.

Shree and Ridhi:

It's the first time they are going out together 'officialy'. Shree was so happy. "Ridzi.. kithne ache jagah hai na? tell me what comes first into your mind when you see it..?" Ridhi knew what he meant. "not so easy my dear.." she said to herself.

She was looking around. "hm.. mein soch raha tha ke.. kithne bhari jungle hai.. yaha door door jungle ke alawa kuch bhi dhikayi nahi de raha hai.. kisi ko shayad patha bhi nahihoga ke hum yaha hai.. tho'"

"tho?" he caught her hands and looked into her eyes.he was eager to know what she was thinking.

"tho.. yaha mobile phones bhi zyada work nahi karthe hoge na..?isiliye.." she was blushing.

"isiliye?" he moved closer to her.

"isliye.. kya thumhe lagtha hai ke mere tracking device yaha work karega? Patha nahi kaunsi frequency mein set karna hoga? Hai na Shree?" she asked innocently.

"what?? Tum frequency ke bare mein soch rahe the?"

"aur nahi tho kya?? Waise tum kya soch rahe the?"

"kuch nahi.. " he face went gloomy and moved away. She controlled her laugh. She caught his fingres. He stopped and looked at her reaction. "lagtha hai ke mere fianc mujhse naaraz hogaya hai.. I'm sorry.." she pleaded. He tried to come closer. She looked ahead.

"oh no' Shree.. cameras.." she cried to him.

"don't joke yaar.."

"nahi.. Shree sachme.. look.." and he saw it. There were cameras on the tree tops. They moved ahead notting it. "bhai ko batha dena chahiye' lets go.." they moved on.

Arjun and Riya:

She liked to walk with him. She slipped once and a strong hand caught her. 'As usaul'- Ridhi's words ringed in her ears. He looked concerned.

They moved ahead mostly in silence. They too noticed the cameras. "yah pe cameras hai.. fir bhi in logonko aise confidence the?" he was confused.

"shayad un logonko patha na ho?" Riya calculated.

"I don't think so.. they seems well planned. Shayad kisi ander ka aadmi unhe help kar rahe hai..waise Shifali ne kaafi ache photos keeche hai.. great evidence.." she smiled at him and he had a quizzed look. "what?"

"nothing sir.. bas Ridhi ki yaad aarahi thi.. wo aaj bohot kush the.. keh rahe hai ke unhe shayad ek aur bhabhi mili hai.."

 He smiled and sudden something stricked. " ek aur bhabhi matlab..?" she was confused. "now what?"

"patha nahi sir.. bas itnahi kaha.. aap tho jaanthe hai ke wo kab kya soch raha hai, wo kisikebhi samajh mein nahi ayegi.. patha nahi iss baar kya socha hai.." she didn't look at him.

"ha wo tho hai.. ekdum paagal.." he too smiled but felt something fishy. They moved on.   

 

Raj, Sameer and Shifali:

She knew the place well. They talked about the case for a while walking. But soon she started to speak of her work, her passion of photography and so on'

"lagtha hai mein kabaab mein haddi hu.." Raj told to himself. So he was thinking to himself. "Shree- Ridhi, Arjun- Riya, Sam- maybe Shifali. Ab mein' aur kaun?? Maybe Chotu.." he smiled to himself ." are nahi uske tho 11 30 wali hai' bechara mein.. still single.." he smiled again.

"kya hua Raj, akele kisse muskura rahe ho?" Sam was looking at him.

"oh thank God.. at least ab tho mere yaad aagaya..!!" Sam rolled his eyes. She blushed.      

"ok we reached the point 1906. Lets wait for them." they waited for the rest to reach the spot.

PRECAP:
