Part 20:
Sakshi's Room:
Sakshi hugged her sister, "I am very very happy di... At last aap maan hi gaye..."
"Ha... Ha... Abb bass... Tu bata... Kahana khaya,...?? Medicines liya...!!" She enquired...
"Ha... But abb mujhe medicine ki zaroorat nahi hai... Kyun ki mein bahot kush hoon... Rukho, mein abhi Sam se milke aati hoon..." Sakshi jumped to meet him... Sameer came to drop Aisha and he is talking to Arjun...
"Sakshi, rukho..." Aisha ran behind her...
*************************************************
Arjun's Room:
"Sam, tune yeh baat chupaya... Tumhe pata tha na, woh Human Trafficking case Sikander se related hai..." Arjun burst out in anger...
"Arjun... Yeh sab tumhe..." Before Sameer could complete, Arjun interrupted...
"Aisha ne Shankar ko wahi dekha tha... Tuskin ka lead bhi usi ke baad mila... Yeh dono Sikander se related hai... Matlab Human Trafficking ka case bhi usi se related hai... Kyun chupaya yeh baat mujhse..." Arjun raged...
"Arjun, kyun ki tum jab bhi Sikander ka naam sunte ho... Issi tarah pagalon ki tarah gusse mein phat jaate ho... Gusse mein tum kuch bhi kar baet te ho... Dil ki dard jab dimaag mein haawi hojata hai... Dimaag kaam karna band kar deta hai... Mein uss case mein yeh risk nahi le sakta... Kyun ki waha Aisha ki Jaan daav par tha..." Sameer tried to match his tone...
Arjun shook his head, "tu ne yeh baat mujhse chupaya Sameer... Tu ne mujhse jhoot kaha, I expected ur support..."
"Arjun I am sorry... Mere baat suno..." Arjun left from there without listening to Sameer and without acknowledging Sakshi and Aisha outside...
**************************************
Sameer left without meeting Aisha... But Aisha called him and tried to calm him down as he is emotionally down... Sakshi was feeling bad seeing her sister like this on her best day...,
Kitchen:
"Tera problem kya hai Arjun...??" Sakshi questioned...
"Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho Sakshi...??!!!" He counter questioned placing water bottle back in the refrigerator...
"Pehle meri sawaal ka jawab do... Tera problem kya hai...?? Tu ne kya kiya pata hai...?? Apna kushi bantne aaye dost ko jagda kar ke ghar se bej diya..." He said...
"Uss ne kya kiya pata hai...?? Mujhe mere maksat tak pahonchne ka ek aisa clue mujh tak nahi pahonchne diya..." He said...
"What's you problem Arjun...??? Tum kabhi kud ke alawa kisi ke baare mein soch sakte ho... Tera dukh... Tera Problem... Tera feelings... Tere yaadein... Sab tere... Aas pass ke log kya sochte hai... Unke upar kya beeth thi hai... Tere wajah se unka life kaisa effect karta hai... Tujhe koi pharak nahi padta..." She raged... "Tumhe pata hai Sameer yaha kyun aaya tha, woh tujhe woh kushi share karne aaya tha, jis ke liye woh intezaar kar raha tha... Yeh kehne aaya tha ki Aisha di ne unka proposal accept kar liya hai... Yeh batane aaya tha ki, they are together... But tumne unke kushi ki din ko tere gusse se barbaad kar diya hai..." She paused... "Mein yaha kya kar rahi hoon...!!! Mein tumhe samjha kyun rahi hoon...!! Samjhaya toh usse jata hai, jo samajhta hai,..." She said and left from there...
**************************************************
Karan carried unconscious Sakshi in his arms inside house... Arjun stood shocked... Aisha ran to him, "kya hua Karan...??? Sakshi teekh toh hai...?!! Sakshi... Sakshi..." Aisha followed trying to wake her up... Karan placed her on Arjun's bed having no idea that it is Arjun's room... Aisha who is in panic didn't care to correct him...
"Aisha, Doctor ko call karo..." Karan said...
"Mein ne call kar diya hai..." Arjun said coming inside room... "Actual Mein kya hua Karan...??" Arjun enquired...
"Mein Sakshi se Milne aaraha tha... Car park kiya toh dekha ki Sakshi garden mein khadi thi... Milne jaa hi raha tha, she fainted..." He said...
Doctor came in 15 minutes... After check up, she said, "woh teekh hai... Jo medicines woh leti hai, woh bahot strong hai... She had to take rest after taking them... But woh bahot stressed lag rahi hai... Mujhe lagta hai, woh issi ki wajah se faint hui hai... She need rest..."
Arjun remembered Sakshi coming to him and blasting him, "Mere wajah se hua hai... Mere wajah se... Sakshi kud ke alawa Sabki tension leti hai..." He thought cursing himself...
****************************************************
"Karan, tum ghar jao... Bahot daer hogaya hai..." Aisha said...
"Teekhe... Mein kal aata hoon... Bye..." Karan bid bye and left from there...
Karan stopped in the living room seeing Arjun lost in thoughts, "Arjun..." He didn't reply... Karan quivered him, "Arjun..."
"Sakshi..." Arjun came out of thoughts...
Karan smiled under his jaw, "Sakshi nahi... Karan..." He said...
"Ha, Karan... Kuch kaam tha...??" Arjun enquired...
"Nahi... Mein bass jaa raha tha... Bye bolne aaya tha..." He said...
"Bye..." Arjun said...
Karan walked till door and turned back, "Arjun, bina maange suggestion doon... Saalon se band pada dil ko use karo... Jo bhi problem hai, solve hojayega..." Karan said and left from there...
*********************************************
Arjun's Room:
"Aisha, tum dusre kamre mein aaram karlo... I will be here..." Arjun said...
"It's ok sir... No problem..." Aisha said...
" Sakshi ko kuch chahiye toh mein tumhe bulalunga..." He said...
"Par aapka neend..." Aisha enquired...
"Aankh band kar ke andere ko dekhne se accha, aankhe khol kar andere ko dekhu... Tum jao..." He said...
Arjun stood at the window watching full moon... He remembered his fight with Sameer and how Sakshi reacted at this... Is he really that selfish...!!! Why did he become like this...??? He didn't stop himself from shouting at Sameer even after seeing his happy face... He wasn't like this... He closed his eyes as lone tear escaped from his shut lashes...
He touched his cheeks sensing tear rolling down, "teen saal baad yeh aasu..." He turned towards Sakshi who is sleeping peacefully, "Tumne iss pattar ko pigalne pemajboor kar diya..." He walked to her... He cupped her palm with his, "Sorry Sakshi... Mein kal hi Sameer se maafi mangunga..." He said... He went to couch and rested on it... A lone tear travelled from corner of Sakshi's eyes... It is tear of happiness which she hid in that dim light...
********************************************
Next Day: ETF: Evening:
It's been a tiring day... They were working on a new case along with Sikander's hunt... They didn't even had there lunch... There hard work paid and there new case got solved in a day...
Sameer's Cabin:
"Sameer, aap tension matt lijiye... Aapke aur Arjun sir ke beech sab kuch sort out hojayega..." Aisha assured him...
With a knock on the glass door, Arjun entered, "Sam..." Sameer and Aisha got up from there seats... Aisha was going to leave, "It's ok Aisha, u can stay..." Hearing Arjun's words, Aisha stopped at her feet, "Sam, mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karna hai..." Arjun said...
"Batao..." Sameer said...
"I am sorry..." Arjun said as Sameer got shocked... He didn't expect Sorry from Arjun... Sameer thought that, Arjun will not accept his Sorry... But here Arjun himself headed to say Sorry...
Sameer went and hugged him, "No Arjun... I am Sorry... And I promise, Iss baar hum dono milkar uss kutte ko doondenge..." They parted...
Arjun looked at Aisha, "Pata nahi Aisha, tum isse kaise jeloge... Ha, but congratulations..." He said surprising both Sameer and Aisha...
"Arjun, tumhe kaise pata chala...??" Sameer enquired...
"ETF ka Second in Command hoon and usse pehle your best friend..." He said... "Thank you Sakshi..." He wished in his mind...
*********************************************************
Arjun's House:
As Arjun, Aisha and Sameer entered, they saw that living room is pretty well decorated... It's written Congratution on board hanging down the wall... As they entered, Sakshi, Karan, Shree, Liza and Chotu accolade wishing then Congrats...
"Sakshi...!!! Sabko publish kar diya, koi rehgaya..." Aisha whispered to her when she came to hug her...
"Newspaper aur news channels rehgaye..." Sakshi chuckled...
Sakshi had great party trying not to look at Arjun... She entered kitchen to get more snacks and drinks for others... Arjun followed her...
Kitchen:
Sakshi arranged snacks and drinks in a tray... She turned to go, but her foot steps stopped when she saw Arjun... As Arjun took a step, she moved back... She pressed her eyes and started blabbering, "Arjun, I am sorry... Mujhe pata hai yeh tera ghar hai and mein bina permission ki party rakh di,... Tumhe kitna gussa karna hai karlo... But party matt rokhna... Sab log bahot kush hai... Tujhe jitna daantna hai, mujhe daant do..."
Arjun walked to her and took the tray... Sakshi opened her eyes with the feel of tray pulled out of her hands...Sakshi opened her eyes expecting a grumbled face of him... But to her surprise it was pleasant and adding more surprise he said, "Thank you..."
"Thank you...???!!" She gave a confused look...
"Woh... 2 saal ke baad iss ghar mein kushi manaya jaa raha hai... Thank you very much..." Arjun said...
"Tum gussa nahi ho...??!!" She enquired... He nodded no... He gave her tray and left from there leaving shocked and surprised Sakshi... With a silent smile, he left from there...
"Arjun... Gussa nahi hai... And I guess he smiled... Nahi, actually he smiled..." She was more than happy...
*****************************************************
After One Week:
ETF Conference Room:
"Shankar and Tuskin, dono ka koi information nahi mil raha hai... No trace..." Aisha said...
"Hum abb kya karenge...??? All doors are closed..." Shree said...
"No... May be hum Tuskin aur Shankar ke pictures release kar ke, koi reward announce kare toh..." Liza suggested...
"There is a problem Liza... They may go underground..." Sameer said...
"There is one Option... But dangerous..." Arjun said...
************************************************
"Woh ladki Sakshi... Woh sirf Journalist nahi hai... Woh uss Professor ki beti hai aur ETF ka member bhi... Agar woh zinda hai toh humein se koi nahi bachega..." Tuskin said...
"Woh mujhe zinda chahiye... Mein jaana chahti hoon woh kitna jaanti hai aur kaun humare baare mein jaante hai... Usse koi na koi madat toh zaroor kar raha hoga..." Sikander said...
