CHAPTER 19:
He walked into the conference hall. He couldn't still understand what he heard. How could they think like that. How can some one put other's life in such danger situation. He waited for the team to come in. but they didn't. he was really angry and was walking up and down in the hall.š”
Back in the commissioner's office:
Arjun had walked out. "dekho Rathod.. mujhe uss se koi nafrat nahi hai.. mein bas ye case jithni jaldi ho sake uthni jaldi solve karna chahtha huā¦"
"I know sir⦠but I am sorry.. is baar mein Rawte ke saath huā¦" Sapna couldn't believe this. "me nahi chahthe ke mere kisi bhi officer aise khathre mein pade.. I am sorryā¦"
"ok then⦠think again⦠soch ke bathana.. and if there is any other ways go for it.. but inform soon.. you may go" they rose to go. " ek minute.. Sapna just stay.. I want to talk to you.. you all may go."
She silently took his permission and stayed back. Others went away.
Conference hall:
All came in. " kaha rah gaye the aap sab.. bali ke bakra the thair karne? "š”
"ab bas karo Rawte tumhe kya lagtha hai ke yaha sirf tum hi Sapna ka khayal rakhthe ho.. I am the chief of this team. Or mein aise khadam kabhi nahi uthaunga jis se kisi ke jaan ko khatra ho.." Arjun was a bit relaxed to hear this. "Tho case discuss kare? Or ye Sapna kaha hai?"
"use commissioner sir ne kuch baath karne keliye bulaya hai.. ab aathe hi hoge"
"damn it.. tum use waha rukhne kyu diya.? Ab wo use brain wash karkhe hi chodenge.."
Commissioner office:
"dekho officer.. jo baath ab hua hai.. I didn't mean to hurt you.. its just my duty.."
"I know sir⦠its ok.."
"tho kya socha tum ne?" she was not sure what to say. "I don't know sir.. jaise mere seniors kahenge waise hoga.." she took a safe side.
" I know. But Sapna you will have to know about this case better. Sikander ka bahar hona bohot bada problem hai. Tumhe patha nahi wo kithne saare cases mein juda hua hai. Or ab pattan lala ke contacts bhi hai tho.. he will be unstoppable. Just imagine how many more girls will be in his trap⦠teekhse soch lena.. I believe now the future of this case is in your hands. Good day"
She was driving back to office. She kept thinking of his words. He picturised girls been kidnapped.. sold out⦠she felt bad.. then she remembered Arjun's words.. how Roshni was killed.. she was not able decide quickly. By that time she reached office. When she was opening the door she heard his voice
" kuch bhi hojaye Rathod.. hum Sapna ko aise khatre mein nahi daal sakte.. aise nahi hona chahiye. " there was concern in his voice. She thought for a while. " I am sorry sir.. I know that I am going to hurt you now.. please forgive me.." she went in " or agar mein ye kaam karne wali hu tho�" Arjun was stunned to here this.
"kya keh rahe ho tum.. ?" he was near her. "pagal hogaye ho kya.. ya achanak mahaan banne ki koshish me ho?" he was fuming. š”"koi mahan banne ka irada nahi hai sir.. bus duty kar rahi hu.. " she tried to calm him down. "sir please try to understand.. or koi rasta nahi hai⦠"
"kuch tho hoga Sapna⦠mein aise order nahi dunga tumhe⦠" Rathod was firm.
She went to him." Sir I know ke aap subko meri fikar hai⦠but please don't worry⦠I can do this⦠I am trained for this⦠or waise bhi aap sub hai na.. mere saathā¦" he thought for a while. It was true. But he couldn't betray his friend. " Rawte iske baath sahi hai⦠why don't we think about it.. "
"Rathod tum bhi⦠iske saathā¦" he couldn't believe.
"ok⦠sir lets think about it.. waise commissionser sir ne kaha hai kiā¦" she couldn't complete. "to tum mere baath se zyada ab uske baath man ne lagi ho?"š” she didn't know to answer that. She kept silent. He was going out and stopped at the door. "jo plan karna hai karlo⦠par mein isme shamil nahi hoga⦠I know what to do.." he glared at her and walked out.
He went home and sat on his bed. He didn't know what to do.."how can she say that.. use tho apni jaan ke bhi parva nahi hai⦠par mein aise hone nahi dungiā¦" he looked at Roshni's photo."please help me jaanā¦"
She came to his home and saw him sitting in his bedroom looking at Roshni. She felt so bad and went and sat near him. "sirā¦" he looked away from her. She sat on her knees on the floor in front of him.
" naaraz ho mujhse? I am sorry⦠par please try to understand⦠I am just trying to help everyone. " he looked at her "kaise Sapna? Apne jaan ko khathre mein dalke.? How can you think like that?"
She cupped his face in her hands and made him look at her. "sir aap jan na chahthe ho ki mein aise kyu kar rahi hu? Its becoz I believe in you. Apna aap se zyada. I am sure ke aap mujhe kuch hone nahi denge."
"how can you be so confident.? Agar mein nahi kar payi tho?"
"you will sir⦠I know you will⦠please sir mere saath dijiye.. let me do it..please.." he kept looking at her for a while. "lets goā¦" he said. Even now he was not ready to accept it. "par ek shark hai.. agar mujhe patha chala ki koi khathra hai.. I'll stop this mission.. or us waqt tum sirf meri sunogeā¦"
"promise sir⦠ab hum chale.." they drove back and reached ETF office. Trio noticed that Arjun was still not ready. He was quite. "sir.. we are readyā¦" Sapna said firmly to Rathod looking at Arjun. They sat down for discussion. Arjun didn't say a word.
"Sapna.. as you are ready for this mission..I will once again say this is going to be a tough oneā¦" she nodded. "or ab Rawte.. jaise ab sab is plan pe chal raha haiā¦" Arjun glared at Rathod.š”he stopped for a second and continuedā¦" tho jaise mein keh raha tha⦠ab sikander ko lagna hoga that she is Special to you.. tho isliyeā¦" he was not sure how to put it forward.. " tum dono ko⦠shaadi karni hogiā¦" Sapna was a bit shocked. She had never thought of that angle, but Arjun had⦠he looked at her pleadingly " please Sapna.. there is still time⦠back offā¦pleaseā¦" .
