Part 30 C
--------------------
ETF Chief's reception was a grand affair in the police department circle. Many officers and Sameer's old friends and colleagues attended it and wished the newly married couple.
Arjun kept to himself during the function but Riya noticed him.
--------------------
After the reception, everybody headed back to their respective places.
--------------------
Arjun was back to his lodge room lost in Roshni's memories. For last few days, he had actually kept all his bitter and sad memories aside and enjoyed his best friend's wedding involving himself in wedding preparations, pranks and teasing his best friend. He felt lighter and content.
--------------------
11:30 PM
Sameer and Annu were back in their room. Sameer held Annu's hand and pulled towards him and hugged her. She wriggled in his arms to get out of his grip but Sameer was in no mood to let her go. That is when Sameer's phone buzzed annoying him and Annu giggled as he had to let her go. Sameer took out his phone from his pocket to see who was calling him at this hour. The call was from a private number.
Annu: Mai fresh hokar aati hoon... tab tak aap baat kijiye.
Sameer nodded with a sigh as he received the call.
Sameer: Hello ACP Sameer Rathod here...[Lady on the other end]..(was surprised to hear her voice and worried at the same time).. Hey Hi!!! kaha ho tum? Sab theek to hai? 1 saal se zyada ho gaya, tumhari koi khabar nahi... kaha ho tum?..[lady on the other end]...(worried and shocked on hearing what she said) KYA? dimag kharab ho gaya hai tumhara... maine mana kiya tha tumhe aisa kuch bhi karne se... abhi ke abhi waha se niklo...[lady on the other end]...kya matlab bahut der ho chuki hai... tumhe pata hai na...waha kitna khatra hai...tum 1 saal se waha ho... tumhare saath kuch bhi ho sakta tha... you are not safe there...tum aisa kaise kar sakti ho? kitni baar samjhaya tha maine tumhe... [lady on the other end]...(worried but gives up).. theek hai... mai aata hoon wahan kal... par tum please apna khayal rakho... aur ab mai tumhe waha nahi rehne de sakta... bahut ho gaya ...[lady on the other end]...tumhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha...theek hai...
Call disconnected
He shivered after he recalled what she told him. He sulked on bed after disconnecting the call. He sat holding his head in his hands thinking about his conversation with her. He never imagined she would do anything like this. He knew she was desperate but never thought she would go to this length. It was another blow to him after he had seen Arjun not respecting the system. And now, it was her.
Annu came out of washroom. From inside she could hear that he was talking to someone loudly. When she saw him worried, she too got serious. She enquired about the call.
Annu: aap pareshan lag rahey hain... koi serious baat?
Sameer: Haan Annu... ek case se related call tha... (looking at her) Annu... kya mai tumse ek request kar sakta hoon? dekho... mai aisa kabhi nahi karta agar ye zaroori nahi hota to...
Annu: aap aisa kyun bol rahey hain... please... kahiye na
Sameer: kya hum apna honeymoon postpone kar saktey hain? its urgent
Annu(worried to see Sameer anxious like this): koi baat nahi Sameer... hum nahi jaayenge kal...par baat kya hai? aap kuch zyada pareshan lag rahey hain?
Sameer(takes a deep breath): Thanks Annu... hai kuch... bahut serious...par mai abhi tumhe kuch nahi bata sakta... aur wo case sirf mai hi handle kar sakta hoon...aur kisi ko nahi bol sakta... Arjun ko bhi nahi...please trust me...(he looks at her intently)
Annu cups his face and hugs him and he hugs her back.
Annu: aap bilkul fikar mat kijiye...hum baad mein ghumne chale jayenge... par abhi aapki duty aur apka farz zyada zaruri hai...chaliye... aap bhi change kar lijiye aur fresh ho jaiye... thak gaye hain bahut... so jaiye... (parts from him)
Sameer passes a faint smile and goes to freshen up.
Sameer was not able sleep and Annu knew that. She cradled him in her arms and glided her fingers in his hair. They slowly melted in each others arms.
--------------------
Next morning.
Suman had created a scene in the house when Annu and Sameer told that they had postponed their honeymoon. Sameer had called the travel agent to cancel the current bookings and keep the plan on hold, and that he will communicate the new dates later.
Suman: Annu... 2 din huye nahi shadi ko aur tumne aise hi apne pati ki baat maan li... aise thode hi kaam chalta hai...aise to wo zindagi bhar bahane bana kar tumhe nachata rahega
Annu: Maa... unka kuch important kaam hai...
Suman: aisa kya kaam hai?
Sameer: Maa...maine plan postpone kiya hai ... cancel nahi... aur maine promise kiya hai aapki bahu se ... mera kaam khatam hone k baad mai usey zaroor ghumane le jaunga...
Suman still pouted and went to her room. She was upset for whole day and Mr Rathod was busy trying to cheer her up. Sameer had a bigger task waiting for him ahead.
Annu assured him that everything will be fine and he trusted her.
--------------------
In the evening.
Johnny's club. A shady club frequented by small time goons and drug addicts and drug peddlers.
People were sitting on tables smoking and drinking and waiting for her performance to begin. She had become popular in this place for last 1 year and the owner of the club was happy as visitors of the club had increased after she started performing there.
The colourful lights started blinking as the music started and people cheered for her.
She entered the stage and a spotlight focussed on her.
Humri atariya pe...
Haaaye...
Humri atariya pe, Aiyo balam ji...
Humri atariya pe, Aiyo balam ji...
Naino ke penche, lad jaaye...
Haaye...
Naino ke penche, lad jaaye...
She swayed to the rhythm moving her body in graceful movements as people applauded and whistled.
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Humre atariya mein
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Humre atariya mein
Humri atariya pe, Aiyo balam ji...
Humri atariya pe, Aiyo balam ji...
Naino ke penche, lad jaaye...
Haaye...
Naino ke penche, lad jaaye...
Sameer entered the club looking around for her and moved towards the dance floor and was shocked to see her dancing on the floor with skimpy clothes and people eyeing her lustfully. He clenched his fists in anger and embarrassment.
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Mann ki kiwadiya...
Mann ki kiwadiya, Kholo balam ji...
Sab din ke jhagde, mit jaaye...
Haaye...
Naino ke penche, lad jaaye...
Haay...
She saw him and noticed his reaction too. She went closer to him.
Naino ke penche, lad jaaye...
Aiyyo Ji, Aiyyo Ji
Aiyyo Ji, Aiyyo Ji
Phulwari dil ki sooni padhi hai
Barkhaa jhadi ban aao
Barso jhama-jham angana mein more
Balma ye mann hariyao
Tohre kaaran...
Tohre kaaran, hum toh balam ji
Beech bajaria lut jaaye
Haaye...
She danced around him to seduce him. He was upset at this and looked away. She glided her finger on his face and turned her back to him with a jerk with the music and crashed her bare back on him resting her head on his chest.
Naino ke penche lad jaaye...
Haaye...
Naino ke penche lad jaaye...
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
Humre atariya mein
Aiyo Ji, Aiyo Ji
She held his hands and made him hug her from behind forcing him to hold her wrists. He closed his eyes in embarrassment but opened them with a jerk as she did something and he glided his hands back from her body parting from her.
She turned to look at him, smiled and went back to the centre of the floor
Humri atariya pe, Aiyo balam ji...
Humri atariya pe, Aiyo balam ji...
Naino ke penche lad jaaye, lad jaaye...
Haaye...
Naino ke penche lad jaaye...
Her performance ended and she went backstage. He too left the club.
He hopped into his car and left for his place. After driving for sometime, he stopped the car to the side of the road and took out from the pocket what she gave him.
The designer bangle. He took a closer look at it and realised that the inner rim of the bangle was something different. It was covered with golden tape.
He scratch removed the tape from that rim and was shocked to see almost 20 memory chips hidden below it.
--------------------
So... how was it?
Sorry for errors.
Precap - Sam tells Annu about the case and a big revelation and Sam goes to Shree to get the data from the chips that he got from Aisha.
