Chapter 19
Sameer and Aisha reached Arjun's place to find him sitting quitely while roshni was shouting on the phone to someone.Sameer had briefed Aisha about the case,payal,karan,karans dad,their investigation and then their leads, on the way to Arjun place.
Sameer went and sat next to Arjun patting his back.Arjun looked up at him with helpless eyes,
'kab aya tha phone?aur exactly kiya kaha?'sam asked him,
'kuch der pehele,yehi kaha ki payal unke pas hai,agar humne investigation nehi roki to wo usse...aur kal karan ke father ke case mein hume ye sabit karna hai,ki uske father gunegar the,humare investigation ke bare mein kuch bhi aya to wo payal aur karan dono ko mar denge,'
'rehab mein phone kiya?'sam asked again,
'haan dono nehi hai waha,kal raat hi baat hui thi meri payal se,'
'haan,shayad kal hi unhe kidnap kiya gaya hai,'roshni added,
'dammit,'sam shouted in frustration.
'per unhe pata kaise chala,aplog to officially is case ko handle nehi kar rahe the,'aisha asked,
Everyone started thinking on this track.Finally Roshni came up with the reason.
'shukla,yaad hai Arjun wo file dene mein kitna bharak raha tha,aur fir dhamki bhi to di thi,'
'haan aur anand ka arrest hona bhi unhe ab tak pata chal gaya hoga,'arjun exclaimed.
'Sukla ko pakarke interogate karte hai,sab batein bahar nikal ayegi,'roshni suggested fisted her palms,
'nehi roshni,sukhla itna bewakuff nehi hoga,aur agar uske malik ko pata lag gaya to wo log payal aur karan ko nuksaan pouhcha sakte hai,'sam replied,
'fir kiya kare?'roshni asked with a defeated look,
'number trace hua?'arjun asked roshni who had given the number from which the call had been made to the departments tech expert.
'haan bandra ke kareeb wo locate hua hai,meine kaha hai usse dhondne aur nazar rakhne,per exact location nehi mil rahi kiyu ki phone abhi switched off hai.'
Arjun nodded.
'mujhe lagta hai hume mehta se milna chahiye,ye case jitni jaldi solve hoga,payal utni jaldi humare pas hogi,'aisha exclaimed to which everyone agreed.
**********
Sameer and Aisha entered mehta's house and seated themselves while the servant went inside to call his master.Rahul mehta came down,clad in a grey suit showing off his money and lavish living.He is an MBA from some foreign university and runs a business which he had inherited from his fore fathers.Aisha informed sameer about Rahul's rake nature and his affinity for drinks and girls.
According to aisha,rahul is involved in a number of illegal business and is supposed to be the one of the very few who deals directly with Sikander,or atleast his right hand man.Being extremely rich and politically strong he was never arrested or caught for his illegal activities.He was reputed in his business circle and everyone knew he was clean.
'nadiya tum yaha achanak?'rahul asked aisha in a concerned tone,
Sameer was surprised at the name.He turned towards aisha and found her smiling.Finding her comfortable with the name he knew it concerned her undercover mission.
'haan wo tumhari madaat chahiye tha,i thought you could help,'aisha replied with a sassy smile with a tinch of arrogance in her tone,
'kya? nadiya ko help chahiye?wo bhi mujhse?tumhare wajah se najane kitno ko doctor ki madaat chahiye hoti hai,aur tum yaha ayi ho..'he posed shocked and then laughed,but aisha was firm hiding her expressions.
'waise ye mere husband hai sameer,aur hume ek deal ke silsiley mein tumhari madaat chahiye,'
'husband?nadiya ne shadi kar li?najaane kitno ka dil toota hoga'he said posing a heart break,
'auro ka to pata nehi,per kisi ka dil thora zyada bikra hua hai haseenao mein...ab kam ki baat kare?'she asked with a completely serious tone,
'nadiya tumhari yahi baat mujhe bilkul pasand nehi,hamesha kam ki baat,thik hai batao kaisa deal?'
'Ai...Nadiya are you sure hum inhe trust kar sakte hai?'sameer asked aisha hesitating,
'haan sam,dont worry,i know rahul and he wont cheat me,tum batao isse,'aisha replied looking at rahul who was looking amused at both,
'sam haan,batao kaisa deal,nadiya bilkul sahi kehe rahi hai,ye to meri jaan hai,mein ise dhoka nehi de sakta,'rahul replied smiling seductively at aisha,
'ek dealer hai,unhe ek fake currency ka consignment chahiye,lekin mein aisa kisi ko nehi janta jo ye pura kar sake,nadiya ne kaha agar ap karte ho to,you can get a percentage,'
Rahul listened to him carefully and then burst out laughing.
'percentage?nadiya tumhara husband mujhe percentage dega,waise ye dealer kaun hai?'
'wo sab details tabhi milega agar tum ye kam kar sakte ho,'sam retorted back,
'aisa koi kam nehi jo mein nehi kar sakta'rahul too replied back arrogantly,
'per mujhe security chahiye,tum mujhe supplier se baat karwao mein tumhe details bata dunga,'
Rahul looked at him with a doubtful face.Sameer too looked at AIsha pretty confused about the output.Sameer had almost lost hope when Rahul stood up and took out his phone.
He called someone and walked out speaking on it.It scared Sameer.If he had called sikander and informed him,he might get alerted and payal and karan might get into more trouble.
Aisha realised his fear and got up.she walked to rahul.Rahul was facing his back to her.She caressed his shoulder blade and he turned around.
'nadiya?'he turned back facing her.
Aisha took the phone from his hand and wrapped her arms around his neck.
'meine shadi kiya kar li,tum to meri taraf dekhte hi nehi,'
'nadiya,tumhara husband agar ...,'
'uff ho,wo to har roz reheta hai,tum hamesha thori rahoge?'
'kiyu nehi?tum jab chaho tab yaha aa jana,'he replied holding her by her waise,
Aisha smiled and stepped back.Suddenly she slapped him tight on this right cheek which even alerted Sameer.he came out and found Rahul standing holding his red cheek.He was burning in anger.He raised is hand to slap her back when sameer held his hand.
'dubara ye galti maat karna warna ye haath hi nehi rahega,samjhe'
'you..tumhari himmat kaise hui..ye deal cancel,'
'hume nehi chahiye tumahre sathe ye deal,'
Sameer walked out holding aisha's hand in his.He dragged her out and made her sit in the car.He quickly took the drivers sit and drove out.
They drove for some time and then sam stopped his car and looked at aisha.
'kya kar rahi thi tum?aur achanak chata kiyu mara?'
'tha kuch purana hisab,waise ye lo,'
She held out a memory card to him which he took surprised.
'ye?'
'Rahul ke phone ka hai,shayad last call sikander ko hi hoga,we can trace right,'
Sameer calmed down and drove to Arjun's place.
They checked the memory card and searched the phone book and messages.Finally they recieved a suspcious number which had made a lot of calls.They tracked the location and found it somewhere in an old burned godown some kilometere from bandra.Almost the same area from where the kidnappers called arjun.
They finally got a location where Karan and Payal could be kept. They instantly set out to release the captive with some back up force.
******************
Karan was looking around in the dark for a long time searching for something to open the ropes.Payal was getting irritated of the closed godown and the intense burnt smell.It was suffocating her.Her only relief then was karan but he too was silent and looking around.Now she was getting frustrated.But she couldnt even talk or shout otherwise the men outside would come to know about their escape.
She kept silent resting her head on the wall and closing her eyes.She was drowsy and almost slept when she hear karan's whisper,
'oh madam sone ka jagah nehi hai,meri madaat karo aur dhoondo,nikalna nehi hai kiya?'
'mein kiyu dhoondo tum to dhoond rahe ho na?'she replied with a smile,
'sirf mein kidnap hu tum nehi?'
'hui hu na,per jab tum ho mujhe kidnap hone se bhi koi problem nehi,'she said and then straighten up realising her slip,
Karan felt good hearing her slip.He stared at her with happy eyes while she looked around but him.He smiled at her embarrasement and planned to take on this later.
'payal ruko,'he suddenly straighten and pushed her dragging himself to her place.
'dhakka kiyu de rahe ho?'payal asked angrily which increased her volume,
'shh kiya kar rahi ho?chup raho wo aadmi fir aa jayega,'he said and dragged himself to the wall..
'kar kya rahe ho?'payal whispered again.
'yaha ek toota hua lohe ka tukra hai,sharp i am trying to cut my rope,wait'
Karan kept on rubbing the knot on the broken lead piece.It took a long time and lots efforts but finally the knot broke.Karan released his hands and looked at payal,she was smiling with sparkling eyes.
'mera bhi kholo,'she said excited,
but before he could open her hands the door opened and a few men came in.They looked at their captives and found the cloth on payal's mouth open.They came close and slapped her and was about to put back the cloth when karan held them from the back and kicked them hard.They fell but more men came in hearing the commotion.The fight started and it was getting difficult for karan to tackle so many people alone.
He was beaten heavily and bruised at places.Payal was too much scared watching the fight and karan getting beaten up.She started shouting.One of the men hit her and closed her mouth but she bit his hand and pushed him hard with her tied legs.
The man fell down.It angered him more and he got up and held her hair.He dragged her with him to the door but was stopped at the door by a gun pointed at him.
Sam was pointing his gun at him and hit him with the butt.He pulled payal to him and held her,looking at her if she is fine.She nodded and he walked inside.
Arjun,roshni,aisha scattered around and fought with the men,killing a few, and rescued karan,who was bleeding and unconcious.They took him out while the force sealed the godown.
*****************
Karan was taken to the hospital in their car.Arjun drove the car while roshni and payal sat with karan at the back seat.Karan was heavily bruisied and his head and jaw was bleeding.He sat on the seat with his head resting on payal's shoulder.Payal was continuously wiping the blood from his jaw.She was scared and was crying.Roshni held her hand to give her the support.
Aisha and Sam had waited at the godown until the whole area is sealed and the captives taken charge of.Everything sorted and done they drove back together to the hospital,where karan was being treated.
They reached the hospital and found Arjun talking at the reception.They walked to him,
'Arjun Karan kaisa hai?aur payal?'
'dono thik hai,karan ko discharge kar denge,wahi formalities pura kar raha hu,waha pe sab,sikander?'
'sab thik hai,sikander pehele hi bhag gaya tha,shayad usse pata chal gaya,jitne log pakre gaye hai,unhe interogate karenge to sikander ka kuch pata chal jayega,'
'hmm aur wo godown se kuch mila?'
'haan waha bohot sara illegal drugs,ammunition aur do set nakli paise banane ke plates mile hai,'
'good to ab mohan ko begunah sabit karna asan ho jayega,'
They smiled and walked in to meet karan.He was sitting on the bed with bandages all over his body.Roshni was sitting beside his bed while payal was standing behind roshni.Sam and Arjun walked in,followed by aisha,who stopped at the door.
'kaise ho karan?'sam asked him,
'mein thik hu,thora dard hai per thik hu,'he said softly with a smile,
'payal?thik ho?'sam asked her patting her arm lightly,
she nodded at him and thats when her eyes noticed aisha standing at a distance from all of them looking at them silently.
'ye kaun hai?'she asked not to anyone particular but everyone understood whom it concerned,
Sameer looked back and so did roshni and arjun.Roshni understood aisha's hesitance to come betwen them but her selfless help had actually brought back their family and she wanted her to be comfortable with them as well.She looked at arjun and with his approval nod called her,which she replied with a small nod.
She introduced aisha to everyone and also gave out the story how they met and then their journey to find payal and karan.Karan and payal both thanked her for the help and welcomed her to their family.
The nurse came with the discharge papers and gave a few instructions and medicines.Payal took extra care to know everything which didnt go unnoticed by others,neither karan.All of them set to get back home.
'per mein kaha..''karan started in the car,he didnt have a home now,after anand was arrested.
'humare ghar,'payal replied with an extra dose of confidence,
'per mein kaise?'
'jab thak thik nehi ho jate tum wahi rahoge,aur tab tak tumhe tumhara ghar bhi mil jayega,tab chale
jana,'roshni replied in her soft tone,
'thik hai per aise kaise..'he still hesitated looking at arjun,who was looking staright on the road,
'tum rehe sakte ho karan,'came a bold reply from arjun which stopped all banters and made payal wink at him with a cheesy smile.
