Part 18A:

As he dropped her, he voiced slowly placing his hand on hers, "take care Aisha!"

Aisha nodded and gestured that she would be fine by cupping his hand with her other hand….."don't worry sir……I will be fine!"

He let her go reluctantly and turned his bike to the parking area….he told the security guard about the purpose of visit and stationed his bike there…….He tried to strike a conversation with the other drivers there and the security guard just to get a hang of the parties there organized before this one…..and also from the drivers, he was able to get information about who all were inside the party!

*********************************

Aisha quickly mixed and blended into the so called elite guests………serving them with drinks and shaking a leg with the overly enthusiastic perverts who were just throwing themselves onto her and behaving as if they were seeing a woman for the first time…..

"Sick ppl!" she cursed under her breath as she evaded their grasps in the nick of time and avoid being crushed in their lusty arms tactfully……She knew how to do it as she had a taste of all such disgusting encounters while she was undercover….

Staying with thugs and drug peddlers, she had to bear a lot but she had learnt her lessons well enough to take care and save herself from all of them!

She just swayed around like a breeze escaping all the hands that stretched to hold her waist, oozing and sliding away from all their clasps which were just ready to pull her to themselves….

Slyly, she kept tab on every corner………

She saw Vikrant Sinha sitting right at the center and she could feel his eyes grazing on her as well…..but she didn't give him much importance and pretended ignorance to what and who he is!

She stealthily took some photos and also switched on the camera for some recording also….it was good to see a different shade of many perfect gentlemen here who appeared to change shades according to their whims and fancies…..

When she felt that all were drowning in the effect of the alcohol and also in the arms of other girls who were there to do their jobs of entertaining them, she decided to do her job as well….

She slowly gave them a slip and ventured into one of the conference rooms which just adjacent to the hall……that was the place where the deal was done…so she felt some clues would be there…..

She had just managed to get hold of a file which had details about the deal when she felt a pair of arms snaking around her waist….

She jerked a bit but then took it easy and remained calm so that he wouldn't doubt her….

She quickly crumbled the paper and shoved it into her blouse…..she pushed the file under the table and turned around still in his hold to face the devilish Vikrant grinning at her…….He wasn't fully in his senses due to the alcohol……so he didn't see what she was doing there!

He pulled her closer and voiced huskily, "tum yahaan ho….maine tumhe kahaan kahaan nahi dhoonda……"

She just faked a smile and remained still…..

Looking around he whispered, "accha kiya yahaan chali aayi……wahaan beed mein mushkil tha…..chalo room mein chalthe hai…"

She grinned as she put her arms around his neck and replied back tilting her head seductively, "haan chalthe hai na….."

Vikrant put his arms around her and led her to the room which opened up from the side of the hall….Bolting the door, he turned to her and tried to hug her which she ducked and made him come behind her like a dog which wags its tail and follows a meaty bone……Naah dogs are anyday way better than such men…..so lets keep them away from this!

When she felt that it was time, she came closer to him and he threw himself onto her only to get a kick and punch from her in the wrong places……she kicked him hard and spoke up,"yeh unn sab ladkiyon ke taraf se jinnke zindagiyaan tunne barbaadh kiya hai….

She slapped him hard a couple of times and then voiced, "yeh tumaare ghair khaanooni kaam keliye aur leader bannke aam logon ka khoon choosne keliye….ab aage ke sazaa jail mein milega!"

Before he even came out of the slap and realized, she injected him with the needle she had on her ring…..a weapon she always carried on such missions…..it was her ultimate weapon which she used at times when matters went out of control……

The next instant, he fell to the ground unconscious….

She searched the entire room and got a few more evidences which she took up and then rushed to open the door…..

As the door opened, she found Sameer there at the door step and he was about to knock the door or break it open….

<<A few minutes before, when Sameer was in the parking slot, he felt a strange fear of Aisha being in danger….and when he had heard those disgusting flirty comments, he decided that he would pitch in……not that he was doubtful of her skills but yet his heart sank deep…what if something happens..what if Aisha lands in trouble….no…he had to go and save her….He decided and that's how he quietly slipped into the party…….and soon realized that Aisha was in that room>>

She sighed in relief as she was first scared that it would be someone else….

She just voiced with a thumbs up sign, "Plan successful!" as she gave him those papers and a file which he put safely into his leather jacket…..

He peeped in to see Vikrant lying on the floor…he grinned and replied…."woh toh dikh raha hai….good job Aisha…[He passed an appreciatory glance at her and their eyes met for a brief moment before he added] Come…its not safe to be here now"

He didn't wait for her reply but just grabbed her hand in impulse and dragged her to the back door of the same room…he knew going by the main door would grab unwanted attention…so he chose the back door……

There was a small sitout which hovered over a lawn………He climbed down first and she followed suit…it was tough for her to climb down especially due to the saree…..so he helped her get down….

He held her by her waist and brought her down carefully……his palms on her bare waist gave her a different unexplained feel altogether……she realized that it was only because of him and his magnetic proximity! A never before feeling which knocked the sense out of her!

When he took off his hands, she would hate to admit but she felt a tinge of disappointment….."What was she even thinking! Never before has she let loose of her sanity….why now?" she smacked herself for that and came back to reality…

Unaware of her inner turmoils, he led her to the bike and then both fled from there without looking back…..From a safe distance, Rathod called up CHotu and asked them to raid the party with the back up team and arrest all the people there….Now that they had evidences against them, an arrest wouldn't cost much!

Cutting the call, he zoomed his bike asking Aisha to grip onto him tightly….

She hesitantly held onto him…..she was skeptical of herself especially after that close encounter earlier….

Though she tried her best to put maximum gap between them, she just couldn't help when it came to bumps….she jerked and crashed back onto him shuddering her whole body…..

He sensed it as her discomfort and chuckled, "Aisha, itna bhi formal matth bano….its ok…"

He had thought that she was maintaining the distance as he was her chief…she couldn't help and thought to herself, "well, what do you know about whats going on in my heart Mr Dammit Rathod! You are driving me nuts in these moments! Khair, aap kabhi nahi samjhoge!"

But destiny really had plans ready for them…..As they say, jodis are made in heaven….yeh Jodi bhi shaayad rab ne khud bohat fursat se banaaya hoga…

A lightning flashed, thunder roared…..Aisha looked up and saw dark clouds hovering the entire sky…….She voiced, "shaayad bhaarish aane waaali hai"

He replied, "hmmm aisa hi lagtha hai….but dont worry….we will be home soon!"

She nodded and he increased the speed so that they escape the rain….but then he slowed down as the road became darker and worse…..

Suddenly, she felt a pull and before she realized, she was off the seat…..Luckily, Sameer sensed a problem and applied a sudden brake and stopped the bike…

Aisha fell onto the road and her saree was struck in the tyre…..In the hurry, she had missed that she was in a saree and she had to keep it under control…

He called out her name "AISHA" as he rushed to her…..she didn't have any injuries as the bike wasn't speeding much…..but a good part of the saree was entangled in the wheel…..she felt awkward and hugged herself……he turned away first realizing her discomfort but then he had no choice but to look at her as he had to help her get up and come out of that knotted mess….

He tried his best to remove the saree from the wheel but it just refused to come out….he pulled gently slowly but however it came out in bit and pieces which was of no use to her now…..

By then she got up and turned away from him hugging herself……

He shifted his focus to her……..In those moments, he felt the protectiveness for her soaring high…..He removed his coat and wrapped it on her from behind making her turn around to face him…..

He spoke up, "Aisha…its ok….chalo"

His words were soothing to her and it relieved her of all the impacts of the fall including the fact that she was at his mercy to cover herself up…… She knew she could trust him completely more than her own self!

She nodded and stepped towards the bike……

He noticed that she was limping due to the fall…..so he helped her get onto the bike…..before he got in, he let her sit there for a moment as if to rest and calm herself down….

He himself stood close to her…she held him firmly for support…….

Something was surely happening in both their hearts……something which had happened long before but the realization of the same was yet to dawn upon them…..perhaps it was a sort of dawn today!

Na Hai Yeh Pana
Na Khona Hi Hai
Tera Na Hona Jane
Kyun Hona Hi Hai

Tum Se Hi Din Hota Hai
Surmaiye Shaam Aati
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi

Har Ghadi Saans Aati Hai
Zindagi Kehlati Hai
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi

Na Hai Yeh Pana
Na Khona Hi Hai
Tera Na Hona Jane
Kyun Hona Hi Hai

He wrapped his arm around her gently protectively while she rested her head onto his chest…..Nothing of their gestures seemed to be happening just because of the situation….

Well yes, the situation they were in sure acted as a trigger and catalyst but the effect of all that seemed the most natural and as if it was all meant to be! They didn't feel awkward in each others arms….in fact they felt at peace….

Perhaps their togetherness was what destiny wanted when all this happened…

When it started to drizzle gently, they snapped out from that dreamy trance and realized that they were in the middle of the road and also realized that they were hugging each other!

Both looked away shyly….he stuttered and stammered a bit before he started the bike again!

She clutched the coat tightly onto her and gripped him firmly as they drove into the night towards the city!

Their eyes met at times through the mirror……..both looked away instantly realizing that a longer moment and eyelock could bring out more of their hidden thoughts……though they broke away from the eyelock, their hearts remained interlocked and was in its own world humming a similar rhythm…..Was it "I AM IN LOVE?" shaayad wahi tha…..

Even the buzzle of the busy city didn't snap them out of that!

Aankhon Mein Ankhen Teri
Bahoon Mein Baahein Teri
Mera Na Mujhe Mein Kuch Raha Hua Kya
Baaton Mein Baatein Teri
Raatein Saugatein Teri
Kyun Tera Sab Yeh Ho Gaya
Hua Kya
Mein Kahin Bhi Jata Hoon
Tumse Hi Mil Jata Hoon
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi

Shoor Mein Khamoshi Hai
Thodi Se Behoshi Hai
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi

Perhaps their new journey towards love and life apart from just ETF had kick started as well!

**********************************

A few hours before…..

Arjun noticed that she had unsaid words clogging her mind now and enquired, "aur kuch bhi kehna chahthi ho na?"

Sakshi looked at him intently…….their eyes locked and he was damn sure that there was something more she wanted to pour out to him………..

Arjun saw the pain in her eyes and felt a prick in his heart as well….it pained him to see her like that……He shook her gently, "Sakshi, bolo"

Sakshi couldn't hold back her tears anymore as her inner most fears of losing herself to a monster resurfaced and his face also flashed across her mind…..she clutched Arjun for support and almost fell into his arms breaking down completely…..He gripped her supporting her…….Without a second thought, he embraced her in his protective hold trying to calm her down……

All her dams of control broke down and she let all her tears out….all that she had suffered all alone was pouring out….she always held back her tears and despair…..but today was a day of break down……

Though she didn't voice it out, the super cop in him was able to deduce everything….he just patted her consolingly and enquired, "kya uss Vikrant ne tumaare saath kuch…."

He couldn't complete the words as the cruel reality of what all could have gone wrong with his wrong number dawned upon him instantly…..She was all alone in this cruel mean world with none to help or support her…He felt a pain even thinking about it…….

He cringed within himself and clenched his jaws in anger…fury rising in him, he swore to himself that whenever he gets that monster in his hands, he would break his bones to such an extent that he would never dare to go near or even look at a girl ever in his life! Little did he know that his vow will see its rightful end in a few hours from now…..

She didn't reply while he just added, "shhh…chup Sakshi……ab main hoom na….everything is going to be fine!"

She felt solace and warmth in his arms and also in his comforting words…..his words were like a life line, a promise to her….for her…..

She wrapped her hands around him in the spur of the moment…..

In those moments, the love which she pretended to have forgotten was showing its face up……the faded love was resurfacing in brighter colors……

Aadha Sa Wada Kabhi
Aadhe Se Jayada Kabhi
Jee Chahe Karlu Is Trah Wafa Ka
Chode Na Chote Kabhi
Tode Na Tute Kabhi
Jo Dhaga Tumse Jud Gaya Wafa Ka

Mein Tera Sharmaya Hoon
Jo Mein Ban Paya Hoon
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi
Raste Miljate Hai
Manzile Miljati Hai
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi

Na Hai Yeh Pana
Na Khona Hi Hai
Tera Na Hona Jane
Kyun Hona Hi Hai

In the arms of the guy whom she had ever loved, respected and trusted, she felt peace…she felt warmth, she felt happiness…she felt love!

[To be continued]

so how was it? pls do reply...

more of Raesha, i know...but zaroori tha...I know I showed a different shade of Aisha in those weak moments but i guess every woman, however brave and daring she is, will become vulnerable in such situations...anyways, i am convinced by that and thats why it is up there...

from now on, things speed up and the case will get solved...
