Whenever The Lips Met...

Part-10:

Now she adored her grands, if she loved them before.

When she was denied by her father and his new family, they were the ones who cherished her.

Now she did not need a father to visit her school! She had her grands, now!

As she grew up, she had to accept the truth that her father would not come back to her.

And one truth hit her hard.

She had lost her father too.

She had to make it up that she was keeping her father away from her, before someone could say she had lost him.

She was becoming an introvert then.

.

.

.

Now she did not need her parents /guardians to visit her school. She had grown up.

She had to make her father realize that it was not money what she indeed needed from him.

But whenever he came to visit her in her grand's house, she could not forget her loss or his cheating.

She had literally stopped talking to him.

Now she was working in an Ad-agency in the evening and was studying.

Soon she was going to run her own studio, she would think proudly.

She was not annoying her grands now and soon would be earning for them too. Soon!

She was sitting in the bus, when she thought about the call.

Her friend suggested that if they could ready some money the bank would provide them some percentage of amount for their certificates.

She was surprised to know that her father recognized her voice even when she did not talk to him for years.

"I want to talk to you," she started.

"Any time!"

He thought it was about some guy.

"In person!"

She had to get some signatures in some agreements along with the bank documents.

"When are you coming?"

He had to talk to her freely about the matter.

She thought about it and replied, "This Sunday."

"Why don't you come a day before? You can stay here two days at least," He suggested," if you wish," he added.

She did not want to upset him then.

"Suits me!"

At last, she was going to visit the house once again after this long.

She got down from the bus, "Ma'am, this way please,"

He led her to the waiting vehicle.

"My driver called me that he would not find her in the bus stand. When I called her number it was switched off."

Her grands arrived then. They asked if we got any information about her whereabouts.

Once got that there was nothing still, their faces fell, which affected the commissioner and he said to his ex-father-in-law in a pensive voice that, "Once you suggested that I had to get married again for my child, I did. Now tell me how to get her back, I will do it at any cost..."

Whenever The Lips Met...

Part-11:

The phone rang.

The room went silent at once.

Everyone was looking at it with different emotions.

Arjun took the head- phone and motioned the commissioner to talk.

He took the phone.

"Are you ready to hear our demands?"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Palpan! Palpan Walia should be released!"

"What?"

The commissioner was shocked to the core.

No matter how hard he tried he could not find the connection between the fate and his life.

Palpan was the one who he arrested years before, who challenged his life, who took his life -at last...Now-

"No! No! No!-"he was shouting in hysteria.

The caller suddenly changed his mood and said, "I'll call you later! I need a positive answer, that time."

Arjun put the head- phone down and waited for an explanation.

As though he knew he would, the commissioner looked at him and nodded slightly which asserted Arjun that he was right.

The commissioner finally said, "I want a minute alone. Excuse me!"

He nodded at his wife and went into his room. The door closed behind him quietly.

"Shree!" Arjun called me.

"Not enough sir!"

I gave him the sad news then.

"And what about the other one?"

"Sir, her phone was on till they reached five kilometers from the bus stand. But after that we have no clue of their destination, since many roads are parting from there."

"What about this fellow's mobile now?"

"It's switched off, sir!"

"How could he get the news that the long separated 'Daughter-Father's meeting?"

"Through friends, maids, drivers-"

"Even I could have told to somebody."

The commissioner's voice heard behind us as he came and took a seat in the hall.

"When did she call you last?"Arjun turned toward him.

"The only call she ever did to me was the one when she informed me about her arrival, last Tuesday, morning."

"Was anybody with you, then?"

"No, I was alone in my room."

"In the office or in the house?"

"In the office."

~..

"Shree!"

"Sir, Palpan has a son, who is doing business now. He has no records still. When Palpan was arrested, his mother took the responsibility of her son. They went unnoticed then. Suddenly this fellow is running a company after years.

"No information about the father's escaped or acquittal allies, after he was sentenced for a thirty years. Now after fifteen years he is fifty.

"The son never visited him in jail lately. Just an occasional visiting of the mother or the friends is the case still."

"Chottu!"

"The company of the son is near Gangothri main road. It's an exporting company, Sir! They claim that the owner is now out of station on a business tour. It's a small company for one to have a car of that much size."

Chottu widened his eyes.

I could understand that if it was big to him, then it had to be really bigger than him.

"Imported?"

I suggested.

He nodded.

"His picture!"

Chottu extended a picture.

The fellow in that picture was just twenty five. With a French beard he was tring to look older than he was actually.

Thus, someone was trying to free the father now and who that well wisher was the question now!

Whenever The Lips Met...

Part-12:

The number the caller used was purchased with-a- fake-id.

Now, I was trying to trace the place, where it was activated last.

Arjun's phone buzzed.

The caller asked, "What did you do? You didn't believe me then," she tried to measure him.

"How did you know the commissioner had a daughter?"

"You didn't answer my question," she was unwavering and she was gathering information then.

"Don't you know?" he decided to play it her way for the time being.

"I know you will! But I'm asking did you!"

He felt as though she was wasting his time.

"How did you know about it?"

"You mean the kidnap?"

"Tell me!" his voice hardened. It wasn't time for games.

"We got it through-"

He could not help but interrupt her," You and?"

"My friend!"

He could see that she shrugged her shoulders.

"Through?"- He insisted.

"A telephone!"

"A telephone?" he could not believe it.

"That's right. Now tell me what did you do?"

"Wait, tell me the whole story!"

"You tell me, first! Did they call then?"

He could feel his lips twitching.

"If I get you in my hands-"

He stopped and checked himself fast.

"Ok then, I'll tell you when we meet in person!"

She announced, but was still on the line.

He heaved a sigh and said, "Right, tell me what happened?"-He asked quietly.

She gave in at once.

"All right! When my friend called her mother yesterday evening, she heard a cross-talk that someone was talking about the kidnap of the commissioner's daughter while her mother went to see the kitchen, putting the phone on the table. When I called her this morning she told me that she didn't believe it and that she could've heard it wrong."

"Why me?" he asked suddenly.

"Because you are straight forward, fast in action-"

"I'm little busy now. Talk to you later."

"Wait, wait! She said that after all, you were a friend of mine- Oh, right! You were working under the commissioner?" She asked him more like an opinion.

"Now, I' m really busy a little."

He cut the call then.

"There are no calls from that number sir! I think he has dedicated this number for the kidnapping."

~..

"Next time when he calls, ask him some time to think about it and for proof that he has your daughter. We need to trace him."

I was ready to trace his number.

The phone rang.

"Have you decided about our demand?"

"I-I want to know that you have my daughter!"

The other end laughed aloud as though it was a joke.

"That's all? Right," there were some confused sounds at the other end.

Then he talked again.

"Your daughter is not ready to talk to you at the moment. If you wish I'll make her talk in a minute-"

"No! No- Please, don't hurt her. I believe you! I believe you," the commissioner was pleading then.

Arjun patted his watch to signal him. 'Time!'

"I- I need time to think about the release."

"Careful! If I get anything going wrong then you won't see her face again," he threatened him before cutting the call.

49 seconds!

Whenever The Lips Met...

Part-13:

"Dig the background of the company!"

"Sir!"

~..

We tried to trace the vehicle which was used for the kidnap.

The bus arrived at 08:00am. There had to be some witnesses, the conductor for one.

He informed that she went voluntarily. Once got down from the bus, someone approached her the next moment though he could not identify the person.

He noted her, for she was eager to get down and was standing near the door even before the bus entered into the bus stand.

~..

Though she resented her father and his family, she knew he would send someone to pick her up. And she was eager to see the places where she lived once.

She could still remember the hotel she would visit with her father as a little girl, near the bus stand.

She collected her things and stood ready to get down, for she did not want someone to wait for her unnecessarily as she did for her father for years.

~..

"Sir! There is a warehouse for the company. They claim it has the goods to be sold and once the MD arrived we can check it."

"The watch man there just tipped me that they had more warehouses like that for a paper which had printed ''500' on it."

~..

"The last signal we got from her number is from here, sir!"

We were visiting the area.

"This road goes to T.K Bhavan and this one goes to Garden city."

"Sir, this one goes to Ambalal Paper mill and then up to outer city."

We tried some more and were about to return when the mysterious she' called him again.

"My friend was here," she started.

"Right, can you tell me anything new?"

"We discussed the matter and -"She stopped, for him to induce. But once got that he was not, she continued herself.

"She said, someone was telling that the driver's brother conformed her journey and-"

"And?"

This time even though she did not stop he induced.

"And he said they could kidnap her,"

"And I think I should meet you once."

"Not me, my friend!"

"I come to think that there is no friend as you claim."

"Why? I-"

"----"

"Well, if you don't trust a friend-"

"A friend with a private number?"

"It's necessary to keep privacy and secrecy in our field-"

"Yes?" he egged.

"No!" she smirked.

"I was just telling I need secrecy, that's all."

"Then I can meet you secretly."

"You think I'd tell where?"

"Of course not!"

"By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, the man on the other end was telling to convey the news to some Rithish."

He made that question sound casually, "Did you hear the name correctly?"

"Yes, she did."

Still she was not ready to admit, he thought.

"At least now, tell me, What's going on there?"

"I don't see any reason to."

He stuck to his guns.

"But I've given you 'Valuable information!' "

She said unbelievingly.

"I'd decide it!"

"Right, if you found it valuable, would you tell me?"

"It depends?"

"On what?"

"If you still have anything to give me, I'd consider."

She got that he was not going to budge in, in that matter.

But she tried one last time.

"After all I was the one, who tipped you about the kidnap!"

He got that she had nothing more to convey him.

"It's your duty."

He said softly.

"But why should I- tell you in the first place? I could have gone to the media!"

"Late is better than never!"

Whenever The Lips Met...

Part-14:

Mr.Rithish was the son of the prisoner Palpan Walia and whose whereabouts was our next target.

The company still climbed that he was not available and was somewhere in the Kolkata city.

When we tried to talk to him, he confirmed it. He assured us that he would be here by the next day and would meet us once arrived.

"Check their sea routes by which they are transporting," Arjun said.

That evening the kidnapper called again.

He asked why there was no news about the kidnapping in any media.

After begging him about the future of the girl, he accepted it, but warned that if he did not get a positive reply from the commissioner he would leak the news himself, by sending them the dead body of his daughter the next day.

We were hearing the talk from the car.

"Started tracing? Do, if you already didn't switch it on, commissioner! You can have advanced technologies, but I have a simple one. The watch!"

The line went dead at 56 seconds.

~..

Chottu and I were going to the ship company, where we had to inquire about their schedules and transactions regarding Rithish's company.

"Oh, how poor the commissioner is! He had to hear from a kidnapper that his daughter was not ready to talk to him, even in a state like this!"

"You know, he didn't know how to react, till Arjun sir signaled him about time, when that fellow called this morning! One could not have told who the boss there was!"

I said as watching the shops we crossed.

"When your daughter is kidnapped, you too won't know how to react!"He snapped.

"What?" I turned to him, "Even when that is the case, I won't need you to help me!" I returned.

"Of course, no need, since you are not my boss!" he snarled and we did not talk till we reached the destination.

~..

The manager of the ship company invited us and showed the seats.

"Our records are clean sir. You can't find a fault in them!"

He volunteered.

"To check that, we'll come some other day, now show the details we asked."

He touched some buttons on his keyboard, took a print out and gave it to me.

I went through it and got that the company was going to use the particular ship, which went to Singapore, nearly every day the coming week.

At least a single container was going through that ship company to various countries daily.

"Give me the list of the previous week."

He gave me a file then, which had a month's details.

I thought in this rate the company should be the number one in Mumbai in exports by now.

The exporting company had to be a 'front'. I wondered.

Now we had to check what the company was exporting to these countries.

"Do you have any container of this company to be exported today?"

"One is going tonight, sir!"

"And you know what's in it?"

"Agree pesticides!"

"Where is it now?"

"Coming this evening to the harbor for shipping."

/.

/.

/.

"What about tomorrow?"

We were checking their books now.

"Sundays are holidays, sir."

"Will you check every container that crosses the borders?"

"We have to sir. We have to get a NOC for every container from the authorities."

"Youd do it yourself or the companies?"

"The companies should produce a certificate, sir."

"Do you know, you'd be behind the bars, if any of the certificates is proved as phony?"

"I know it well sir!"

I got that Rithish's company was transporting different goods, clothes, pesticides, accessories, cosmetics and the sort and of various manufactures.

~..

The container arrived at the harbor with a solid certificate that evening.

I was checking it while our men checked the contents.

The result turned against the company. The contents were nothing but drugs and the certificate was for pesticides.

We informed Arjun about the new crisis and were informed to delay the transportation for a day.

The manager agreed at once and he informed the company about the delay.

Now the cute container was waiting to betray its boss a day later.

Whenever The Lips Met...

Part-15:

"Shree, I need the list of war houses they have."

"In an hour, sir!"

~..

Ayesha, Chottu and I moved to the car.

"What's this one hour, Shree?"

Ayesha asked.

"See, it'd take twenty minutes at least to reach the company's gate."

"The watchman won't be there now. His shift is over." Chottu informed us looking at his watch.

"Then to reach him it'd take another five minutes in his quarters."

"So it'd take 50 minutes to reach our office."

He calculated fast.

"What about the list?"

"He'll give it in person."

We started moving towards his quarters.

"What if he denies coming with us?"

"My 500 will help him to trust me."

"So we've to give him one more now?"

He patted his pockets and tried to peep in mine. When he was about to ask her, Ayesha asked, "You could have given that money to me. If I ask youll clutch your pockets tight, for a bet.

Now, you are losing in 500s, daily."

"In a bet I can't retrieve the money. Now, once we reach the office, I'll get my money back from him and the information as well."

~..

He could not give us the list. But pointed a finger on who could.

A truck driver of the company.

He gave us the list, without much effort from our side.

~..

We checked that the ware- houses were far apart from the first ten kilometers from the bus stand.

"Sir, even they could take a 'U-turn' at the 5^th kilometer and went in the opposite direction, for they knew we would check her mobile's last signal."

Ayesha suggested.

"She has a point. If that's the case, the first ware-house, we'd encounter from here is in 20 kms."

"It's in the centre of the city, sir. Too difficult for a kidnap. Any time eyes would watch you, even if you open an umbrella."

"Then the fourth one fits. You can get privacy and secrecy there."

'It's necessary to keep privacy and secrecy in our field- He shook his head to shake off the swarming thoughts at once. And he returned to the discussion.

"That way we can consider the sixth."

"And the last one too."

Thus we started looking the three places keenly.

~..

In a ware-house the guards were quietly watching the surroundings and the kidnapped girl.

She was cursing herself.

I should have denied it in the first place that I did not need a car to pick me up!'

She thought, when she denied talking to her father, how he would have felt...

She did not really know, but she was happy that she did it.

She could not understand why she was kidnapped, but she was not going to go back to him even if he rescued her. She was clear at that point very much.

They fed her, thus she could get that they needed her to be alive, when the ransom money-

Then she saw the unbearable scene in her mind's eye.

Her dreams would never come true then, she could say.

She thought she would better die here rather than delivered by him.

well not much of she in there only once
