Few hours back.
Annu finished her pooja and turned back. She saw Navika but Aisha was missing.
Annu: Aisha kahan hai?
Navika(nervous): Wo uski tabiyat theek nahi thi ... to wo ... chali gayi!
Annu: Arre!!! mujhe kyun nahi bataya?
Navika: Wo... aap pooja kar rahi thi ... isliye disturb nahi kiya ..
Annu: Theek hai ...achchha hua ... ab tum bhi ghar jaao ...
Navika: aap bhi chaliye na mere saath ... mummy - papa aap se milke bahut khush honge ...aur fie aaj itna bada tyohar hai ... aap akeli kyun rahengi?
Annu: Navika... kidnappers mere peeche hain ... tum mere saath rahogi to tum bhi khatre mein pad jaogi ...mai ghar jaa rahi hoon ... pata nahi raaste mein kuch ho gaya to?
Navika: Par Di ... aapke chehre sindoor laga hai ... kidnappers aapko pehchaan nahi payenge ... agar aap apne ghar ke raste par na jaayein ... aur hum taxi se mere ghar jayein to kidnapping avoid kar sakte hain ...
Annu was surprised at this idea.
Annu:Arre haan! ye idea achchha hai ...(she turned to the idol of Goddess Durga) Maa Durga ne ye bahut achchha rasta dikhaya hai ... par I hope ETF ke plan mein iski
wajah se koi problem na aa jaye
Navika(quickly): Nahi aayega Di ... aap safe hongi to team bhi bina kisi darr ke apna kaam kar payegi ...
Annu(thinking): tum sahi keh rahi ho ... chalo ... tumhare ghar chalte hain ...
Annu quickly told the temple authorities that due to some problem in her vehicle she is keepingt it in the temple premises and will come later to pick it up.
Both reach Navika's place. Navika's mom and Annu chit chat and have a good time while Navika was tense.
Navika called up Shree to give details about Aisha being kidnapped and Annu being safe. He was in ETF office keeping a track of Ship and all communication. He informed Rathod and Arjun through their Satellite phone.
They switch on the TV in the evening and Annu is shocked to see this news.
Annu: Ye kya hai? Mai to safe hoon ... fir ye news kyun dikha rahe hain TV par ... aur ye aisa kyun keh rahein hain ki ETF se sare critical cases wapas liye jaayen ... Sameer aur Arjun kitne pareshan ho jayenge ...
Navika: Di please ... Rathod sir aur Arjun sir already ship par hain ... Shree ne unhe inform kar diya hai ki aap safe hain.
Annu: par fir bhi sab ka ye jaan-na zaroori hai ki mai safe hoon ... (she gets up to go out)
Navika: di please ... mat jaaiye ...
Annu: Navika! mera jaana zaroori hai ...
Navika: Nahi Di ... i beg you ... mat jaaiye ... warna bahut bada problem ho jayega
Annu stopped and turned to Navika.
Annu: kya matlab? Kaisa problem?
Navika was nervous. Annu walked closer to her.
Annu: Kaisa problem Navika?
Navika(pleading): Wo mai aapko nahi bata sakti ... par please mujh par bharosa kijiye ... mat jaaiye
Annu sensed something was wrong and situation was grave.
Annu: Bharosa karoon tum par? kaise? saaf saaf dikh raha hai ki tum mujhse kuch chhupa rahi ho ... aur mujhse ye ummeed kar rahi ho ki mai tum par bharosa karoon?
Navika: Di Please!
Annu: Theek hai ... agar tum chahti ho ki mai bahar na jaaun ... to mujhe sab kuch sach batao ...
Navika: Di please ... mai aapko nahi bata sakti ...
Annu: Kyun nahi bata sakti?
Navika(in tears): aap please meri baat maaniye
Annu: Navika! dont try my patience ... tumhare aansuon ka mujh par koi asar nahi hone wala hai ... mujhe sach jaan-na hai ... abhi ... isi waqt ...so just tell me the truth ...
Navika had no choice but to tell her Aisha's plan. Annu and Navika's parents were shocked. Annu Slumped on the sofa holding her head.
Annu: Hey Maa Durga!! kya kiya is ladki ne ...
Navika: Di wo un gundo ke saath reh chuki hai unke kaam karne ka tareeka jaanti hai ... uske paas gun bhi hai ... aur fir wo Intelligence agent aur humari team to hai hi ...
Annu: Par kisi ne usey pehchaan liya to?
Navika: Nahi pehchanega koi usko .. uske bhi chehre par sindoor laga tha ... aur wo us intelligence agent ko janti hai ... wo uski pechan chhupane mein madad karega ... ur agar abhi aap bahar chali gayi to sabko pata chal jayega ki aap safe hain aur Aisha pehchaan li jayegi ... aur fir Aisha aur wo agent dono ki jaan khatre mein pad jayegi ... wo dono maare jayenge ... isliye mai keh rahi hoon ... aap yahi rahiye ... aapke ghar pe lock rahega to sabko lagega ki aap gayab hain ...
Annu looked at Navika with teary eyes for a moment and looked above praying for Aisha's safety.
Annu: Hey Maa Durga Aisha ki raksha karna...
---------------------
On the ship.
Arjun and Sameeer were worried to know about Aisha's kidnapping
Sameer: kya kiya is ladki ne ... kahin Pathan aur uske aadmiyon ne usey pehchaan liya to Uski aur Rishi ki jaan khatre mein pad jayegi ...
Arjun: Haan Rathod! ye bahut bada risk hai ... par ab hum kuch kar bhi nahi sakte ...
Sameer: Bas ummeed kar sakte hain ki humare wahan pahuchne tak wo dono safe rahein ...
Riya remembered her conversation with Aisha when Aisha was asking about festival details.
Riya: Us din Aisha ki baaton se mujhe laga nahi tha ki wo aisa kuch karegi
Arjun: Kya matlab?
Riya: sir! is mission par aane se pehle mai Annu Di ki safety ko lekar pareshan thi ... tab usne mujhe ye bharosa dilaya tha ki wo Di ki suraksha ki zimmedari uski hogi ...usne mujhse SIndoor khela aur vijay dashmi ki pooja ke bare mein b hi information li thi... mai soch bhi nahi sakti thi ki wo Di ki jagah khud ko kidnap karwa legi ...
Sameer, Arjun and Chhotu were surprised to know this.
Sameer: I just hope ki sab theek ho ...
Arjun: Humein ab aur zyada hoshiyar rehna hoga ...
Sameer: thodi der aur ... uske baad situation control mei aa jayegi ... agar kuch gadbad nahi huyi to ...
Arjun and Sameer spotted the blinking light on the top of the tower which acted as lighthouse and they knew they had almost reached.
Arjun was restless and both Riya and Sameer sensed that.
Sameer: Rawte! Are you Ok?
Arjun(trying to hide his feelings): yes... I m fine ...
Sameer(kept his palm on Arjun's shoulder): Hum us tak pahuch gaye hain Arjun!! tumhara intezar ab khatam hua ... ab wo nahi bach payega ... usey uske har gunah ki sazaa milegi ...
Arjun stepped ahead and hugged Sameer and closed his eyes.
Whe he opened his eyes he saw Riya looking at him intently. He had always seen the same love and care in her eyes. He knew she loved him and came on this mission just for him. But he never had courage to return the same feelings to her and hence he always pretended to ignore her concerns.
But today he blinked his eyes slowly to assure her that he is fine.
------------------------
8:00 PM
Sikander and Pathan spotted the ship and smiled at each other. As per plan, Rishi ordered first group of men to be ready to offload the consignment from the ship. He also managed to give some bullets to Aisha on pretext of giving food for her.
Ship anchored on the temporary dock. As instructed by Rathod Captain called up Sikander.
Captain: Bhai! sab theek hai ... aap saaman utarwa lijiye ...
Sikander: Good work
Sikander signaled Rishi and he got his men to get the stuff from ship.
Sikander oversaw entire operation. All the stuff was removed from ship.
Pathan and Rishi went with the consignment to the other location. Consignment was divided as planned and loaded into the respective trucks and bullock carts. They were signaled to leave for their designated locations at around 10:00 PM.
All the men were dressed as locals to avoid any suspicsion. They had to mix with the locals who were in the village to attend the Fair.
The Raavan effigy was ready to be burnt. They had to leave before the local started flooding the roads.
Pathan informed Sikander about the consignment being started as planned and they started off back for the fort.
Pathan instructed them that they will not be contacting him or each other via calls. He will send them a message in case of any changes.
--------------------------
Sikander called up the captain on the ship to come off to the fort to take the money. He saw a few men coming out of the ship in dark. He also came downstairs.
It was dark in the for premises but Sikander had a flash light in a corner for such dealings as he was doing such deals from this place for many years.
Sikander was smiling at his success but his smile faded away as he realized it was Arjun, Sameer , Chhotu and Riya approaching him. All of them had pointed their guns at him.
Sameer: Kya hua Sikander? tumhare Chehre ka rang kyun udd gaya ? khushi nahi huyi humse mil kar?
Sikander(trying to be normal): Kyu nahi hogi Khushi Rathod? bahut khushi huyi ... ye dekh kar ki tum log khud yahan mere haathon marne chale aaye ... par khushi se zyada dukh hua ... ki yaha mai apne ilake mein tum logo ko marunga ... chahta to ye tha ki tumhare ilake mein ghus ke tum logo ko maaroon ... jisse logo ko sabak mile ki Sikander k saath dushmani karne ka anjaam kya hota hai ...
Sameer: kamaal hai!! charo taraf se maut ne tumhe gher rakha hai ... fir bhi akad kam nahi huyi tumhari ...
Sikander: Maut ne to tumhari biwi ko gher rakha hai ACP Rathod... Tum ship par they isliye shayad tumhe pata nahi hai ... Tumhari pyaari biwi yahi hai ... mere kabze mein ... aur waise usey bhi tumhari aankhon ke saamne maarne mein wohi mazaa aayega jo tumhare dost ki biwi...(cut short by Arjun)
Arjun(Screaming): SIKANDER!!!!! Aaj tere har gunah ki sazaa tujhe milegi ... tera waqt khatam hua !!!!!
Sikander(evil smile): mat chillao ACP Arjun Rawte ... koi faayda nahi ... mai yahan akela nahi hoon ... mere ek ishare par Pathan aur uske aadmi tum sabko yahi udaa sakte hain ...
Sameer(smiling): Achchha!! to bulao unhe ...
Sikander was surprised at Rathod's attitude. He tried to call Pathan but Pathan didn't receive his call. He was frustrated but suddenly he was jerked out of his thoughts when he saw something fell on ground near his feet. It was Pathan's dead body. Sikander was shocked.
Sikander: Pathan!!
Sikander(screaming): RONNIE!!!!
*** a little while back
After Rishi and Pathan reached the fort from back side, they reached first floor and saw ETF surrounding Sikander. Rishi was ready with a silencer on his gun. without wasting any time he shot Pathan and kept his dead body hidden there. He heard conversation between Sikander and ETF and threw Pathan's dead body on ground when Sikander called up on Pathan's phone and went to the room where Aisha was waiting for him. He untied her and they went out. Before that he called used Pathan's phone to send a
message to all the gang members to change their destination. He sent them to a new location.
***
Rishi slowly moved towards Sikander. Sikander was looking at him in shock.
Rishi(staring at Sikander): Mera kaam Khatam Hua ACP Rathod ... ye raha aapka mujrim ... Pathan ko maarna zaroori tha ... aur iska sara consignment ab kal subah tak Mumbai Pune Highway ke paas ke jungle tak pahuch jayega ... i hope kal tak police force wahan taiyar hogi ... us consignment ko pakadne ke liye
Sikander was furious at this betrayal.
Sameer: Thank you agent Rishi Malhotra ... is case ko solve karne mein aapne bahut help ki ...
Sikander couldnt believe what he heard.
Sikander(evil smile): tum log ab b hi ek baat bhool rahe ho ... Rathod ki biwi ... wo us peechhe wale kamre mein hai ... usey to mai maar hi sakta hoon ...
Rishi: Sikander! tumhe sach mein lagta hai ki tum aisa kar sakte ho?
Sikander: Kya matlab?
Rishi: tum bhool rae ho ki usey yaha laaya kaun? aur uske yaha aane ke baad tumne ye to check kiya hi nahi ki wo sach mein ACP Rathod ki biwi hai ... ya mai kisi aur ko le aaya hoon?
Sikander looked at him in disbelief and the lady coming in front caught his attention. As she wiped her face, he recognized her. It was Aisha.
Sikander pulled out his gun and fired aiming at Rishi but there were no bullets in it.
Rishi(smiling): Don Sikander... mujrimo ka badshah ... kya lagta hai tumhe? agar mai tumhari gang mein ghuskar ... tumhe aur Pathan ko bewakoof bana saktahoon, Pathan ko maar sakta hoon... to kya tumhari loade gun ko ek khali gun se nahi badal sakta?
Sikander knew he was trapped and there was no way out. There was a long silence.
