Chapter 28

CHAPTER 26:

Ridhi and Shree were busy. They were trying to  analyse the video and audio from the camera feed. The audio was barely audible. It was a tough process to obtain it back.. and when they did it, they were tensed. They called Sameer and Raj and summarized the issue. They rushed back to Arjun to call him.

After a while Riya entered. She was evidently relaxed. Ridhi went to her.. Riya was so happy. "Thanks Ridhi... aajse mujhe jeeneka ek aur wajah mili hai... thanks.."they hugged each other. Shree was also happy for his friend. He hugged Riya.

Sameer, Raj and Arjun entered the hall. Ridhi went and hugged Arjun. though he looked weak, he had a change in his face.. as if he had removed a large weight from from his heart.. "welcome back.. bhaiya.. I'm so happy for you.."

Now they were back in working mode. The team, Chotu and Shifali was present. Chotu had reached with some commandos as a back up.

"team.. Shree aur Ridhi ko bohot important information mila hai..Shree go ahead with it."

"sir.. kal raath ke aur unke pichle din ke video se ya baath saaf hua hai ki unlogon ke last transaction aaj raath hone wale hai.. foreigners ke side se aaj do aadmi hoge.. maybe their leaders.. aaj raath ke baad wo iss transaction khatam karne wale hai.. unhe ye bhi patha hai ki ETF yaha hai.. so they maybe prepared for us. Aaj sabere ke attack just prove it.."

"aur bhai.. uss bike jo har do din mein uss rasthe jathe hai.. it seems that uss jungle mein kahi koi tehra hai.. aur wo kaun hai ye baath patha nahi.. kyunki us bike wale ke pass daily use ke items the.. kal raath jo do log baath kiya tha, unme se ek aaj mar gaye hai.. so its sure ke wo log upset hai.. so.. aap logonko kaafi sambhalke jaana hoga.." there was concern in her voice.. after all they are her family..

Arjun went closer to her. "don't worry beta.. aaj kuch nahi hoga.. we'll plan well. Usually transaction 10 pm ke baad hote hai.. we'll be there on spot by 8 pm. All should be prepared well. Its possible ke wo log bhi wahi camera feeds use kar rahe hai jo humne hack kiya hai. Ridhi make sure ke wo log, 8 pm ke baad wahi dekhe jo hum dikhayenge.. I hope you got what I meant.." she nodded.  

"Raj, Arjun and Riya.. you 3 will be going with a few commandos from the one direction. Shree Chotu aur mein.. iss rasthe aajayenge.. baki camandos uss raste.."Rathod said pointing the map. All were ready. It was almost time.

Shifali was feeling very much frightened. It was the first time she seeing someone going for such a mission. Sameer went to her. "don't worry Shifali.. sab teekh hoge.." Sameer was not sure for his feelings in the beginning. But a few moments together, when Arjun was in bed, she saw his pain.. it was the first time he understood the need of a person who can share his heart.. and it was her. She too felt the same.. after a long period of lonely travel, absorbing nature and human life in a frame, it was time for her to move on in life.. they had a silent understanding of the life'

For  Ridhi.. her 3 brothers.. her bhabhi.. her friend chotu.. her love Shree' all were going out.. it was the worst feeling of being left behind. Arjun, Sameer and Raj.. all took her in their arms.. promising that they would be safe.. Riya'.. she made a promise to take care of her brother and herself.. Shree.. well he couldn't go near her.. Raj understood the feelings.

"Arjun.. we should speak with the commandos.. Chotu and Riya.. you also come with us.." Raj took Arjun and Sameer. "tum nahi aarahe ho kya?" Arjun asked Shree.

"Nahi.. tum Ridhi ko sare baath samjhao.. about tracking and all that.. she needs to know well..ok.. Shree.." Raj was looking into his eyes. Shree nodded. Riya and Chotu knew that Raj was giving space for Shree and Ridhi. They went on. Shifali too went out..

Shree moved to her. She was confused. He cupped her face. "I know ke tumhe bohot dar lag rahe hai.. its natural.. tumhare bhaiyonko kuch nahi hoga.. Riya aur Chotu will also be fine.. ok.."

"aur tum? Tumhare kya..? Shree I know ki meine kabhi mere dil ke baath nahi bataya.. but its true..I LOVE YOU.. I love you a lot.. please don't go away from me.. agar aise kuch hua'tho mein.." he closed her mouth and nodded negative.

"kuch nahi hoga Ridzi.. kuch bhi nahi.. and yes I love you too'" she kissed away her tears and hugged her tightly. He broke up slowly. "its time to go.. Sir wait kar rahe hoge.." he was loosening his fingures from her hands. But she held it tightly and pulled him to her. She went closer to him.. and kissed his lips'he responded back.. then she let him go.. "please apna ghayaal rakhna' you too belong to my family now'"

He left her slowly and went to the door and before leaving he looked at her and winked with a smile.. "mein yu.. gaya.. aur yu.. aaya.. ok..!!" she smiled with a heavy heart. He went out and she was feeling lonely. Shifali came to her and touched her shoulder. She broke down on Shifali's shoulder. She held her tight.

Downstairs the team was ready. They were going in small numbers without attracting others attention. They met a few meters away from point 1906'
