Part 6 (Continued):
At Commissioner's Office:
Arjun: What Plan?
Neev: See I cannot talk anything here. Anyone can hear us which could be dangerous. So we can go my place which is just 10 min from here and discuss.
Sameer and Arjun: Ok let's go.
They got into SUV and started driving.
Neev (To Sameer): Can we by some means get the information of minister's family.
Sameer: Yes. But what good will it do?
Neev: Please get me those information as soon as possible.
Arjun calls Shree and ask him to find the family details of minister.
Meanwhile they reach Neev's mansion. They enter when an elderly women comes running towards him and asks about Saakshi. He assures her everything will be fine. He takes them to guest room and locks the door once they are in.
Arjun (Losing Patience): Are u planning to tell us what your plan is or not?
Neev (Calmly): Have we got information regarding his family?
Sameer: Yes. His family comprises of his wife, one son (Rahul) who is currently abroad and one daughter (Ritu) who is studying in Mumbai arts college. But what has it got to do with the case.
Neev: Every one in this world has one weakness or other. Some times we must utilize this weakness as our strength to get our work done. This is what business teaches you.
Arjun: Do u mean to say we have to kidnap her to get our work done?
Neev: Yes I think that's the only way he would agree to the demand. Agar kisi gair ki jaan khatre mein ho tho tume koi farak nahi padta. Jab baat kud ki ya humse jude huye logon ki hai tho hum kuch bhi karane kay liye thayaar ho jaate. We become ready to break all the barriers to save their life.
Sameer (Angrily): Are you out of your mind? I think I have been really wasting my time with you coming here and made a grave error trusting you. There is no way I am doing something of this sort.
Meanwhile Arjun is just thinking about Saakshi. He remembers all their previous encounters, their arguments, stealthy glances, silent support. She had more than in one way become a indispensable part of his existence. He would break beyond repair if at all it was possible and lose his sanity if something happens to her. He could not stand the loss of someone very close to him again. He decided he would do anything and go to any extreme to bring her back to safety.
Arjun: I think he is right. We have no more options left with us.
Sameer: Woh tho na samaj hai. Tume kya hua hai Rawte? Tum tho samajdaar ho? You know what will be at stake if someone comes to know about it.
Arjun: I don't care about anything right now apart from the fact that I have to save her. I can't stand the guilt of doing nothing if something happens to her. If this is only way out I will do it. I will take the responsibility if someone comes to know about the plan. What will happen at the most they will fire me out of service right? I don't care about it. I won't allow anyone to harm her.
Neev: Look I am not asking you to kidnap her. We can talk her through this and make her understand the situation and seek her help. We will keep her at my place safely till our work is completed and then I will leave her to her place safely.
Sameer(To himself): I can't really understand why are becoming so emotional.(To Neev) I don't think this will work. But we have no other option right now as time is running so we will give this a try.
(To Arjun) Come let's go and speak to her.
Arjun: I don't think we should go. Better call Aisha and ask her to speak to that girl regarding this and make her understand. I think it would be easy for her to trust Aisha than us.
Sameer calls Aisha and briefs her about the course of action. Aisha is first shocked about it then agrees to do it. Meanwhile Neev speaks with his bankers to arrange for the ransom amount demanded and also speaks with the security officers of the mansion to tighten the security without letting them know the real reason. Aisha goes to meet Ritu in her college and speaks with her. She instantly agrees as it would help her save a life. Aisha brings Ritu to Neev's place.
As soon as Ritu reaches Neev's place, Sameer calls and informs the commissioner that they received the call from the kidnapper that he had also kidnapped minister's daughter so that they would decide on the course of action faster. Commissioner let's the minister know about the kidnapping of his daughter who instantly agrees to all the demands and instructs the commissioner to do whatever it takes to save his daughter.
