CHAPTER 5
Aryan drove the car towards the Tripathi house, with Imlie beside him, as his legal wife. He was checking the time required to cover the distance of 21 km in Delhi with high speed, even during traffic, and surprisingly, he got the same distance in navigator from the registration office to Tripathi house. So, he drove his car at a speed of 90 km/hr. He saw Imlie beside him, not even scared a little bit with their car being in such a highspeed. She was relaxed and just looking at the road.
Aryan why are you so focused on Imlie? Why not ask that question to yourself? Only you can answer thatquestion. And please, don’t go into flashback, you are on road and driving. Think about it later.
Aryan was having a flashback of yesterday, the day Imlie left the Rathore Mansion at night, not even caring about herself. He remembered, Imlie leaving the Rathore Mansion, leaving him in tears. Arpita asked, “Bhai, yeh tune kya kiya? Tu chahta to use rokh sakta tha. Mujhe uske liye tension ho raha he. Itni raat ko wo kaha jaigi? Aur tere badle ka kya? Tukyu use khud se dur jane de rahi he?” Aryan replied, “Didi chinta maat kijiye, Imlie jaldi humare paas wapas aayegi. Imlie kabhi uss plan ka hissa nahi thi. Wo mere bare me, ya Aditya Kumar Tripathi ke bare me kya sochti he usse mujhe koi phark nahi parta. Uski wajah se na kisi ka mere liye nafrat nahi badlega, kisi ka mere saath dosti nahi badlega aur nahi mere liye kisi ka………” Arpita left and Aryan also did not finish the statement.
After 20 minutes, Aryan went to his room with red eyes and worried for Imlie. He called someone and said to follow Imlie from a distance, but, was answered, “Sir, we lost track of Imlie Ma’am.” Aryan shouted, “What? How did you lost track of her? What were all of you doing? Sleeping? Go and search for her in the nearby temple.” From other side, “OK sir, wait a minute”, then after a few moments told, “She is not there sir.” Aryan cut the call and again dialled another number and said, “Kya Imlie Tripathi House gayi he?” (Has Imlie gone to the Tripathi house?). The other side answered, “No sir, Imlie Ma’am didn’t come toward the Tripathi House.” Aryan again cut this call and called his Secretary and said, “In a few minutes send me the location of Imlie’s mobile.” Secretary answered, “Okay sir, give me a few minutes.” After 5minutes the Secretary spoke again, “Sir, Imlie Mam’s mobile was moving in a fast speed from Rathore Mansion, Rajokri to Janakpuri route 15 minutes ago, but we lost her location somewhere in Hari Nagar, it’s like her signal was cut off with the system.” Aryan shouting, “What? You lost track of her location? And most Importantly how did she reached Janakpuri from Rajokri in 25 minutes? How is that possible? Search through every CCTV cameras of that road and tell me if she is there somewhere and also find out how she travelled so fast from here to Janakpuri.” The Secretary answered, “Sir I have already find out that, if we travel in 60km/hr in an Indian car, in that route it will at least take 32minutes to reach Janakpuri, but, she reached it in 25 minutes, so she should have travelled in something with a speed of 80-90 km/hr, but, it’s not possible with Indian public vehicles or normal household cars, except for the cars in Rathore Mansion currently, or any Important Military or VIP guest cars, or any VIP International level guests cars, because Indian speed limit of vehicles ranges from 40-70 km/hr, and normal people or public can’t break the rules.” Aryan’s eye wide open with shock, “But, Imlie didn’t take any car from Rathore Mansion. Did you check all the CCTV footage of that route?” The Secretary said, “Almost sir. Sir There are surprisingly many VIP International cars on that route today, almost 7 of them, we have no idea of which car Imlie Mam took, because there was a problem with CCTV in that route at that time.” Aryan shocked, “What? CCTV Problem? Ok.” Aryan rushed towards Arpita’s room.
My thoughts at that time, Oh Aryan, if you only would have known the real Imlie, rather real identity of Imlie, you would have not to worry about her. But, most importantly, child, if you Love her and so worried about her, why let her leave? Just tell the real truth of your today’s beheviour and the story of Arvindh Shikhawat. She would have listened to you and believed you and would not have gone anywhere else. The 7 cars that your Secretary told about, are all that were with the car Imlie’s boarded. And the CCTV footages of that route not working because, someone hacked into the system and for 30 minutes deactivated all of them. And last but not the least, the loosing track of Imlie’s phone was because she when found out about her mobile getting tracked, she used network jammer to stop the system having access to her location.
Aryan came to Arpita’s room and told, “Didi Imlie ko phone kijiye.” (Didi call Imlie). Arpita answered, “Mujhe pata tha tu kuch hi der me Imlie ko yaadkarega. Tui usse ek minute bhi dur nahi rah saakta. Wo tere liye bohot importanthe. Toh aab jab tu uske bare me puch raha he, tu khud kyu usse call karke, ussebaat karke, use bapwas kyu nahi le aata?” Aryan then said, “Didi aap use please call karo, wo mera call nahi uthai gi aabhi.” (Didi please call her, for now, she will not pick up my call). Arpita sighed, and called Imlie,phone on speaker. Imlie picked up, “Ha Didi, boliye?” (Yes Didi, say?). Arpita said, “Imlie tu kaha he? Tu thik toh he na?” (Imlie where are you? Are you alright?). Imlie replied, “Ha Didi hum thik he. Par, hum kahahe yeh nahi batayenge. Kyu ki humka pata he aap ABP ko bol denge….” (Yes Didi, I am alright. But, I will not say where I am. Because I know, you will share it with ABP.......). Imlie’s words cut off, Aryan and Arpita heard a ringtone of another phone and a car horn from other end. Aryan stopped breathing, Arpita shouted in the phone,“Imlie tuh really thik he? Tu aabhi ke aabhi bata tu kaha he, me tujhe lene ja rahi hu. Tu bapwas aa ja, me Aryan ko ghar se nikal dungi. Rahe wo office me.” Imlie answered, “Didi kochu nahi hua he, hum thik he. Aap apne iss halat me humka bilkul bhi nahi lene aayenge. ABP ka ghar se maat nikal na, waise hi wo purasamai office me he rahata he. Hum aabhi wapas nahi jah sakat he. Par hum bilul thikhe, humne humare Dadda ki madat lewat liye.” Arpita sighed, “Toh phir theek he. Aabhi me phone rakhti hu. Tujhse jaldi milungi. Par, ek baat sun le, tuh jaldighar wapas aaygi, nahi toh Aru ko me such me ghar se nikal dungi, aur ushe office me hi sona hoga.” Imlie replied, “Thik he Didi, hum apka baat sunenge.” (Alright Didi, I will listen to you). Aryan stood there like a statue for a second and then went to his room. Aryan closed his eyes with tears in it and again started working.
At that time, I could only say to myself, wishing it also reached Aryan. "Aryan, my strong child, I know you feel worried, but, your Jungli is safe, you can ask about tonight in the office tomorrow. So, why not take some rest, instead of working. I know you got shocked today, but, you need to sleep." I saw Aryan go to sleep while working and hundreds of questions.
Back to present. Aryan focused on the road, and keep moving towards the decided destination.
