Chapter 9 ~ Dynamics:

Hello guys!! I am back. And this time you will get a super long update . And yes this chapter has a surprise for you. Don't forget to give your feedback. Love you all. Enjoy!!

***************************************************************************************

We all are standing in our living room. I know Rathore sir want to stay too. And it's better for him to stay here.

Riya: Rathore Sir I think you should stay here too. We have to talk about case.

I said looking at him seriously. I know he won't say anything but Rathore sir doesn't want to leave. I can see that in his face clearly.

Sameer: Right.

Rathore sir said with a strict face but I can see his eyes are bright. I looked down somewhat smiling. Suddenly I heard Riddhi's voice.

Riddhi: You are Sameer Rathore right??

She asked looking at Rathore sir curiously. Rathore sir nodded in yes, but what he said stunned me.

Sameer: Yes. I have really heard about you a lot. Its really courageous of you to stay with that man for two years.

He said with a strange kind of admiration on his face. I looked at him startled. What the hell!! I looked at Ayesha only to see her looking at Rathore sir awkwardly. What is he doing?? I agree Riddhi is good but I thought he liked Ayesha.

Riddhi: I was just doing my work.

Riddhi shrugged as if its no big deal. She is right. Its her work. She knew beforehand that she had to deal with all this.

Sameer: Still it needs a lot of guts to do that.

Rathore sir said to her grinning. Riddhi looked down blushing. What the hell is going on??

Riddhi: Thank you.

Riddhi said with a strange smile. I shook my head looking at Rathore sir. He has lost his mind. Suddenly I heard Arjun's voice.

Arjun: Is he trying to flirt??

He whispered looking at Rathore sir frowning. That's what I wanted to find out.

Riya: I thought he liked Ayesha.

I said in a hushed tone. I am totally confused right now.

Arjun: He does.

Arjun said looking at Rathore sir exasperated. If he does like Ayesha, then why is he behaving as if he is interested in Riddhi??

Riya: Then what is this??

I looked at Arjun baffled.

Arjun: May be he is trying to impress Riddhi as she is Ayesha's elder sister.

He said looking at me raising his eyebrows. Hmm, it is possible. But I just hope in impressing Riddhi, he doesn't forget Ayesha.

Riya: Hmm. I just hope he doesn't impress her too much.

I said shaking my head in disbelief looking at Rathore sir. Suddenly we heard Abhi's voice.

Abhilash: What are you both whispering??

He asked looking at both of us confused.

Riya: Nothing. How did you met Riddhi??

I asked looking at him curiously. How did he bring Riddhi here?? And how did he met her?? Suddenly Ayesha looked at the three of us curiously. I know she wants to know the same.

Ayesha: Yes. How did you came here Di??

Ayesha looked at Riddhi curiously. Riddhi sighed and sat on the couch. Rathore sir sat beside her from one side. And Ayesha sat on the other side. I sat on the two seater couch opposite the three of them, and Arjun sat beside me. Abhi sat on the single seater couch and looked at Riddhi curiously.

Riddhi: Actually I was pretending to work with Adil from last two years but this time he got to know about me. He put me with the girls he was shipping off to Dubai. I was trying to run from the godown when I met Abhilash.

She said looking at Abhi smiling slightly. Wait!! She is looking at Abhi admiringly?? What the hell is going on?? I looked at Arjun tensed only to see him looking at Riddhi amused. I heard Abhi's voice and I looked at him.

Abhilash: I went to Kolkata for the hearing of our family case, which is fortunately now closed. I just came out from the hearing when I was called to commissioner's office.

Abhi said looking at us seriously. So that's how he went behind Adil. And thank god the case is closed now.

Abhilash: When I went there I got to know that Adil is in Kolkata and he is trying to send his consignment abroad. We all knew his consignment is about girls. As this case was officially ours, so I called my team and raided that godown. That's where I met her.

He said shrugging as if its the most common thing. Thank god!! He is safe. Adil Sheikh is no gentleman. He is a very conniving person. We all have to be very careful.

Sameer: Wow Abhi!! You got to play a Knight in shining armour.

Rathore sir said looking at Abhi teasing. I looked at him stunned. What the hell is wrong with him. Suddenly Riddhi looked really annoyed.

Riddhi: Oh hello!! I was never a damsel in distress.

She said narrowing her eyes at Rathore sir, and he raised his hands as if in surrender.

Sameer: Right!!

He said grinning and Riddhi started laughing too. I looked at Ayesha only to see her looking at Riddhi and Rathore sir sadly. This is just going out of hand.

Sameer: Riddhi? I want some information about Adil.

Suddenly Rathore sir said seriously and I know he went in his cop mode.

Riddhi: Sure. Start your interrogation Sir.

Riddhi said to Rathore sir winking and he sighed smiling slightly.

Sameer: Hey call me Sameer. What is this sir??

He asked glaring at her playfully. I really don't want to see the blooming love story of Sameer and Riddhi, when I am seriously a hard core shipper of Sameer and Ayesha. I felt like hitting Rathore sir's head.

Riddhi: Relax I was just teasing.

Riddhi looked at Rathore sir smiling and he nodded at her.

Sameer: Anyways. How did you met Adil??

He again asked and Riddhi's smile vanished. Looks like something happened with her.

Riddhi: I have found about Adil's secret business two and half years ago. I went to his house and tried to meet him. But to no avail. I finally succeeded in taking appointment from him 2 years ago. But I didn't know that he knew about me too and he was plotting against me.

She said smiling sadly. Ayesha grabbed Riddhi's hands tightly and Riddhi sighed trying to control her tears.

Riya: What happened then??

I asked her softly. She took a deep breath and started talking again.

Riddhi: I went to his house to meet him, but he sedated me. He tried to rape me but I ran from there.

She said and her tears started flowing continuously. But before Ayesha can hug her sister, Rathore sir hugged her sideways and tried to make her stop. Ayesha looked at Rathore sir stunned and hurt. I looked towards Abhi only to see him glaring at Rathore sir. Wait!! Why is he glaring at Rathore sir?? Did he like Riddhi?? Oh man!! This is serious blunder.

Sameer: You don't have to tell if you don't want.

Rathore sir said softly. How much she has suffered in last 2 years. I just hope she will get her share of happiness in near future.

Riddhi: I'm fine now.

Riddhi said wiping her tears and smiling slightly. She started telling her story further.

Riddhi: Then I went into hiding. I tried to unveil his real face and in doing that I got to know about his business of girl trafficking. Then I decided that I will do anything to destroy this business of his. So I went to meet him and offered him my partnership.

She said gritting her teeth. I can't believe she is so brave. No one can go back to the man who tried to assault her.

Riddhi: He didn't believed me at first, but then I helped him in running away from police, and then he included me in his business. I tried to save many girls during these 2 years. But in last consignment he got to know about me.

She said looking down sadly. I know she wanted to save each and every girl who gets trapped with Adil. But even for us it is not possible to save every one. But we will try, that's true.

Sameer: It was really brave of you Riddhi. And now you don't have to take tension. We will handle it from here.

Rathore sir said blinking at Riddhi reassuringly. I just hope we can catch Adil as soon as possible. So that no other girl can get trapped with him.

Riddhi: Sameer?? Are you sure you want to handle this case?? I mean Adil is really dangerous.

Riddhi looked at Rathore sir tensed. Ayesha sighed and looked down. Rathore sir took a deep breath then looked at Riddhi sternly.

Sameer: That's our work Riddhi.

He said in a stern voice. We all know he is really passionate about his work. In fact we all are. And Adil Sheikh is in danger if I talk about my team. I looked at Riddhi and she is looking really disturbed with tears in her eyes.

Riya: Riddhi?? You go and wash your face. You are looking too disturbed.

I said to her concerned. She looked at me for sometime then nodded in yes. Its not good for her to stay alone in this condition. She is really disturbed.

Riya: Ayesha?? Go with her.

I looked at Ayesha indicating towards Riddhi. She looked at Riddhi and got up.

Ayesha: Hmm.

She nodded and they both went to Riddhi's room. I sighed and looked at Rathore sir irritated. In fact not only me but Arjun and Abhi are also glaring at him. He looked at all of us baffled.

Sameer: What??

He asked as if he didn't know what's going on. What the hell!!

Arjun: What were you trying to do??

Arjun asked looking at Rathore sir narrowing his eyes.

Sameer: Means??

Rathore sir looked at Arjun as if he is clueless. In fact his expressions are genuine. That means he really don't know what happened just now??

Riya: Don't you think you were too close to Riddhi??

I asked him narrowing my eyes at him. He looked at me startled.

Sameer: Hey!! I was just consoling her as a friend.

He said as if he is offended. Man!! He is really clueless.

Sameer: What happened??

He asked in a scared tone. Freaking hell!! This man is an idiot. Why the hell is he ETF's chief??

Arjun: She was really sad and disturbed Sam.

Arjun said looking at Rathore sir sighing sadly. Suddenly we heard Abhi's confused voice.

Abhilash: Why was she disturbed and sad??

Abhi asked looking at us baffled. And this is our another idiot, who is the chief of CBI. Who the hell made them the chiefs of most prominent teams, when they remains clueless of their surroundings most of the time??

Riya: Idiot!! Because she likes Rathore sir.

I glared at him and he looked down nodding.

Abhilash: Oh!! What??

Suddenly he looked at all of us widening his eyes. Now he becomes a tubelight too. I shook my head at him.

Sameer: Guys!! That's not true. And yes Arjun show me the room.

Rathore sir said getting up. I rolled my eyes at him. He doesn't even want to believe that Ayesha likes him.

Arjun: Sure!!

Arjun shrugged and went with Rathore sir. Abhi sat beside me and looked at me curiously.

Abhilash: Does he like Ayesha ??

He asked indicating towards the place where Rathore Sir was sitting.

Riya: Hmm. Why are you asking??

I looked at him curiously. Isn't he too much interested in Rathore sir's life??

Abhilash: Nothing. Just for knowledge.

He shrugged nonchalantly then sat as if thinking something. Now what's going on in his brain?? Suddenly he looked at me stunned. Now what happened??

Abhilash: Wait!! That's why he requested to transfer Adil Sheikh's case to ETF??

He asked looking at me shocked. I grinned looking at him.

Riya: Now you used that pea sized brain of yours.

I smirked at him and hit his head lightly. I don't know why I call him Abhi, whereas I can never even think to call Abhi Bhai as Abhi. Cause Abhi Bhai was very mature and he was my big brother. But Abhi is just Abhi for me, he is fun to be around, he is like a friend to me. But I know he loves me as much as Abhi Bhai did.

Abhilash: Excuse me?? I am CBI chief. So obviously I am more intelligent than you.

He said rolling his eyes. I was just going to say something smart when I saw Arjun coming towards us and he is very irritated. Now what happened to him??

Riya: What happened??

I asked him curiously when he sat on the couch opposite us gritting his teeth.

Arjun: Sam happened.

He said glaring at the floor. Woah!! He is pretty much angry right now.

Riya: Means?

I asked him curious to know what happened with Rathore sir now.

Arjun: I think he is using his brain too much.

Arjun said looking at both of us tensed. Now what is this?? I frowned looking at him.

Arjun: I am sure he is trying to impress Riddhi so that Ayesha will be impressed. And that man is too dense to even see that Ayesha was sad when he went near Riddhi.

Arjun said rubbing his forehead. Oh god!! Rathore sir has gone mad for sure.

Abhilash: You both really think that there can be something between Ayesha and Sameer??

Abhi asked looking at both of us curiously.

Arjun: We don't think that. We know that.

Arjun said looking at Abhi bored. But hearing Arjun's reply Abhi's eyes started glowing. Now this is interesting.

Arjun: Wait!! why are YOU so much excited??

Arjun asked looking at Abhi raising his eyebrows. Abhi looked at both of us sheepishly.

Abhilash: No!! I just like both of them together.

He said shrugging trying to act as if its no big deal. Oh!! So he is interested in Riddhi. That's why he brought her here directly. He could easily settle her in one of CBI quarters, she would have been safe there too. But no!! He brought her here.

Riya: Oh yes!! And he likes Riddhi single. Right??

I looked at him teasingly.

Abhilash: Hmm. What??

First he looked down smiling somewhat, then he looked at us bewildered. Haha!! Gotcha!!

Abhilash: You are mad. I am going to my room. I am tired.

He said rolling his eyes and ran to his room. I looked at Arjun amused and we both burst out laughing. God!! He is too much.

***********************************************************************************************

I looked at where she is looking to see a beautiful butterfly. I got up and went towards her. She started going towards the butterfly without even looking down. Shit!! Her dress is entangled in the grass, and she didn't even notice. She tried to run but her dress pulled her back.

Arjun: Riya!!

I shouted and ran towards her. She was just falling down when I caught her. I pulled her up somewhat by her waist. Her eyes are closed as if she is waiting to fall down. She is even more beautiful from this close. Then she opened her eyes and looked at me stunned. I pulled her up with me and she grabbed my shirt tightly. I don't know why but I feel as if her eyes are the best thing in the world. Her eyes are mesmerising. Its as if I don't want to look away from her eyes. Suddenly we both heard Abhi's voice and we both left each other.

Abhilash: Nice scene!!

I looked at him only to see him standing with Ayesha. Now what is this?? What is he doing with Ayesha??

Arjun: And what are you both doing here??

I asked looking at both of them curiously. Abhi looked at me startled.

Abhilash: I was just trying to know about Ayesha. That's it!!

He said looking at us sheepishly. I am sure he is lying. Even Ayesha is looking at him shocked.

Ayesha: But you were asking about Di!!

Ayesha looked at Abhi confused and he looked at both of us as if he got caught in any illegal activity. Oh!! So he is trying to know more about Riddhi. I smirked at him and he looked here and there.

Riya: Liar!!

Riya looked at him teasingly and he ran towards the house without even looking back. I looked at both Ayesha and Riya and they both are looking at running Abhi amused. This is getting interesting now. Riddhi can be a permanent member in this house very soon.

***********************************************************************************************

I don't know if he smiles now or not. Let's see how our life will unfold. But I hope I can meet him once before I die. I came infront of Anjali only to see her wiping her tears.

Anjali: What happened??

She asked looking at me. I know she can see I am too wound up right now. I take out our suitcases from our wardrobe and started packing my clothes.

Suryakant: Pack your bags. We are moving to Mumbai.

I said to her sternly and she looked at me baffled.

Anjali: Right now??

She asked with an incredulous look.

Suryakant: Yes.

I nodded at her and started taking out all my clothes from my wardrobe. Who knows what's written in our fate.

Anjali: Everything's okay right??

She asked looking at me tensed. How can everything be alright?? I know if Arjun would be there in place of Nakul, then this will never happen. But no!! He wants to do what he thinks is right.

Suryakant: No. If only your darling son had listened to me and had joined my business then we don't have to see this day.

I snapped at her and started arranging my clothes in my suitcase.

Anjali: What happened??

She asked looking at me tensed. I sighed and sat on the bed.

Suryakant: There is some illegal activities going on in my company and I think Nakul is doing all this.

I looked at her feeling like crying. I love Nakul very much. But Nihal will never say anything like this about Nakul if he was not sure.

Anjali: What?? But Nakul??

Anjali looked at me with a pale face. I know she loves both Nakul and Nihal as much as she loves Arjun.

Suryakant: Hmm. I have loved both the sons of Vishambhar equally, after his death, but I think I failed somewhere. Nihal informed me about Nakul some time ago.

I told her with tears in my eyes. She started packing silently afterwards and we left Kolkata to settle down in Mumbai for some time.

We reached Mumbai around 11 pm. The driver parked our car outside Rawte Mansion. I am coming here after 5 years. I have shifted to Kolkata after Arjun entered in police force.

We both entered the house only to see Nakul sitting in the living room tensed. He looked at both of us startled.

Nakul: Bade Papa??

He asked looking at us stunned. Wow!! What an actor. He already knew we are coming here. Still he is acting as if he is shocked to see us.

Suryakant: Nakul!! How are you??

I asked him trying to look concerned. He is looking as if ready to say something but then he controlled himself. What's going on with him??

Nakul: I am fine. But what are you both doing here?? Everything okay??

He asked looking at both of us curiously.

Suryakant: Hmm. We are shifting here.

I said to him without any expression on my face. At first he look startled then he looked at us as if he is genuinely happy.

Nakul: Really?? Welcome back Bade Papa.

He said hugging me tightly. I took a deep breath hugging him back. I can't understand what is true. What I heard or what I am seeing. Suddenly I heard Nihal's excited voice.

Nihal: Bade Papa!!

I turned around only to see Nihal coming towards us excited.

Suryakant: Nihal. How are you??

I asked him smiling somewhat.

Nihal: Now I am perfect.

He grinned and hugged me tightly. I patted his back and he broke the hug relaxing somewhat.

Nakul: Dinner??

Nakul asked looking at me and Anjali questioningly.

Suryakant: We had that in plane.

I said to him shaking my head in a no. I have to find out what's going on. Something is off here. Why is Nakul behaving as if he doesn't know why I am here.

Nakul: Ok then Good night.

He waved at all of us grinning. He is looking genuinely happy.

Suryakant: Night!!

I nodded at him and he left for his room. I looked at Nihal and he is looking at Nakul worried.

Suryakant: Don't worry.

I said to him putting my arm around his shoulder. He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

Nihal: Thank you!!

He said softly and I nodded at him. Now its better if we sleep. I will look into this matter tomorrow only.

***********************************************************************************************

I am sitting in my room in our palace reading my favorite book. Suddenly my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and its Aditya, my PA. I looked at the time and its already 11:30 pm. Why is he calling at this time?? I picked up the phone and put it on speaker.

Aditya: Good evening Sir!!

Aditya said in a formal voice.

Damsingh: Evening!!

I nodded even though I know he can't see me.

Aditya: Sir?? Are we really shifting our base from Jaipur??

He asked somewhat nervous. I shook my head at his question.

Damsingh: No!! We are going to shift our base temporarily to Mumbai for some months. Only for this project.

I told him strictly and he sighed as if relaxing.

Aditya: Okay sir!!

He said excited and cut the call. I looked at my phone exasperated. He called at this time to ask this?? I looked up only to see my wife coming in the room tensed. Now what happened to her??

Damsingh: What happened??

I asked when she sat beside me on the bed.

Avantika: I am thinking about Yuvraj.

She said looking down sadly. I sighed remembering about our son. I don't know if we can even call him Yuvraj. He is away from us for so long, I doubt if he even remember who he is. He refused all these luxuries just to fulfill his dream. I wanted to see him as a Crown Prince of Jaipur. But he left everything.

Damsingh: No need. If he wants then he can come back any time. But he doesn't want all this. He just wants to live HIS dream. And what about OUR dreams?? That means nothing to him. We mean nothing to him.

I said to her irritated trying to control my tears. It still hurts to think that his dreams are more important to him than us.

Avantika: This is not true. You know that.

Avantika said looking at me tensed. I sighed feeling dejected.

Damsingh: Why can't he come back?? I just can't understand.

I looked at her perplexed. I am not angry at him, but he has to understand too that we need him too, he has some responsibilities towards us too. What about his marriage?? I know he is still single. What about our family. Everyone wants to see him happy. And I know he is happy, but at what cost?? He is away from his family from last 5 years.

Avantika: I am really scared about him. There is no one in Mumbai to take care of him. And his job is too dangerous.

Avantika said looking at me tensed. Its good that I am shifting to Mumbai for some time. At least I can look at him. No matter if its from far away.

Damsingh: I am going to Mumbai tomorrow for 6 months.

I told her smiling somewhat. I will see him after 3 years. He never take leave. And last time I met him when he and Arjun fought with each other. I tried to patch them up but its as if no one wants to listen to each other.

Avantika: I am coming too.

Avantika said looking at me excited.

Damsingh: Fine. Pack your luggage.

I looked at her and she started packing her bag. I packed my bag too. We both slept thinking about the next day. I just hope my Yuvraj is fine. And is it too hopeful to even think that he have a girl in his life??

I got up feeling excited after 3 years. We both got ready and came down to wait for our driver. Finally we reach airport after almost 1 hour. My PA Aditya was waiting for me.

Aditya: Good morning sir!!

He said looking at me excited. I nodded at him.

Damsingh: Morning. Everything ready??

I asked him sternly and he gulped looking at me tensed.

Aditya: Yes sir!! We were just waiting for you.

He nodded and indicated towards our private jet.

Damsingh: Hmm.

I nodded at him and we boarded the plane. I was sitting beside Avantika looking out. I don't know what's in store for us. But I hope I will meet Yuvraj just once, and can see that he is happy. His happiness is what I want. Be it is with us or with someone else.

Avantika: I want to see Yuvraj once.

Avantika said looking at me pleading. I looked at her. She is looking really tensed and concerned.

Damsingh: Fine!! We will see him but not now.

I said to her sternly.

Avantika: Really??

She asked excited and I nodded at her in yes. I just hope Yuvraj will meet her otherwise she will be broken and I can't see her like that.

***********************************************************************************************

We all are sitting in the living room having our tea and coffee when our chief and Royal guest Mr. Sameer Rathore came down from the stairs like a Prince.

Sameer: We are going to office today. Right??

He asked picking up his cup and looked at us curiously. What type of question is this?? I frowned at him.

Riya: Yes we are.

Riya said looking at Rathore amused.

Sameer: Then why are you all sitting like this??

He asked looking at us raising his eyebrows. Looks like our chief forgot the timings for our office.

Arjun: Look at the time Rathore.

I said to him smirking. He looked at the clock and his eyes widened.

Sameer: Shit!!

He swore under his breath and sat on the couch beside me.

Abhilash: Its just 7 am and I am bored yaar.

Abhi said looking at us pouting. Who does he think we are?? Jokers?? That we will entertain him. Suddenly we heard Sam's stern voice.

Sameer: Riya?? Arjun?? Activate all your informers. We want information about Adil Sheikh.

He said looking at us sternly. I looked at him amused. We did that da before yesterday only. What does he take us for?? We are cops too.

Riya: Already did that Sir. And yes Lisa called about Mehta's watchman reports.

Riya told about the reports we got to know about last night.

Sameer: What's in the reports??

Sam looked at Riya curiously. I know he wants to solve this case fast. But still I can't even find out what's the connection between this watchman and Mrs. Mehta's murder.

Riya: Overdose of drug.

She shrugged nonchalantly and Sam looked at her stunned.

Sameer: What?? But how?? As far as I remember he didn't take drug.

He asked looking at me and Riya baffled. Well we thought that too, till last night.

Arjun: Shree and Chotu went to his house last night. We got some drug packets buried in a wall.

I told him seriously and he looked down as if trying to digest the news.

Sameer: Shit!! Did we got Mrs. Mehta's report??

Then he looked at Riya curiously. As far as I know I don't think we have Mrs. Mehta's report.

Riya: Yes. She died by the drug overdose too.

Riya said shrugging and I looked at her stunned. What the hell!! She didn't tell me that.

Riya: What??

She asked looking at me confused.

Arjun: You didn't even tell me??

I asked her narrowing my eyes. She shook her head at me.

Riya: You were sleeping.

Riya said looking at me apologetically. Oh!! That's why she didn't say anything. But wait!! she was awake even after I slept??

Riya: Anyways. I talked to Mr. Mehta and he accepted that she was a drug addict. He didn't want his name to be spoiled so he wanted this case to be shut as an accident.

Riya said looking at all of us seriously. That means this case was of drug addiction. And Mr. Mehta knew that all along. He didn't say anything just because of his reputation. Great!!

Sameer: Great!! Means we were wasting our time in this case. And this was just an open and shut case??

Sam said looking at Riya irritated. Seriously!! This case was just a waste of time.

Riya: Apparently yes.

She nodded and looked at us amused. Then Rathore called someone and put his phone on speaker. Now what's going on??

Sameer: Shree??

He said as soon as the phone was picked up from the other side.

Shree: Yes sir!!

Shree said in a baffled tone. Well!! I know why he is surprised. Its still 7:30 am.

Sameer: Are you with Chotu??

Sam asked in a stern tone.

Shree: Yes sir!!

Shree said in a nervous tone. Then we all heard Chotu's voice.

Chotu: I am here only sir.

Chotu said in a lazy tone. I am sure he was sleeping.

Sameer: Okay. Tell all your informers to find about Adil Sheikh. Tell this to Sakshi too.

Rathore ordered to both of them. Now they are awake. I am sure of that.

Shree & Chotu: Okay sir!!

They both shouted together and I tried to stop my smile. They are too afraid of Rathore.

Riya: Ayesha?? Riddhi?? Come we will prepare breakfast.

Suddenly Riya got up and went to kitchen along with Ayesha and Riddhi. Abhi went to his room for some work. Sam just cut his call when his phone rang. I looked at him and he is looking at the caller ID irritated. I am sure its commissioner sir on line.

Sameer: Hello??

Sam said picking up the call in irritation.

Commissioner: Rathore?? Its Coelho.

I heard Commissioner sir's voice on the other end.

Sameer: Yes sir!!

Sam said in a stern tone. It sounded like he is ordering commissioner sir rather than hearing orders.

Commissioner: Is Arjun with you??

Commissioner sir asked in a soft voice. I looked at Rathore's phone frowning. What happened to Coelho sir??

Sameer: Yes sir. You are on speaker.

Sam said looking at me curiously.

Commissioner: We have a new case. And this case is given to ETF.

He said taking a deep breath. Okay, he gives cases to us everyday. What's so special in this case that he is this nervous??

Sameer: What's the case sir??

Sam asked in a suspicious voice. I heard Coelho sir sighing as if he is afraid to tell us. What's wrong with him??

Commissioner: Someone is murdered in Rawte Industries last night.

Finally he said softly. I looked up at Sam only to see him looking at me stunned. Murdered?? That too in Rawte Industries?? Shit!! What the hell is this??

Sameer & Arjun: What??

We both shouted together stunned. I can't believe it.

Commissioner: Arjun, please handle this case maturely. Your family is involved in this.

He said in a nervous voice. My family?? As far as I know I have no connection with Rawte Industries. That's what Mr. Suryakant Rawte said when I joined police force.

Arjun: Don't worry sir. I have no family there. I am just ACP Rawte in this case.

I said to him determined to prove everyone that I am not related to them anymore. I have my own life now. And they have excluded themselves from my life 5 years ago. Now, I have no relations with them.

Commissioner: Jai Hind.

Commissioner sir said finally in a relaxing tone.

Sameer & Arjun: Jai Hind sir.

We both said together and Sam cut the call. Suddenly we heard Riya's voice.

Riya: What happened??

She asked coming out from the kitchen.

Arjun: A new case!!

I said to her sternly and she nodded. She told Ayesha and they both stood beside us. Sam called Shree and put his phone on speaker. Finally Shree picked up the call after 3 rings.

Shree: Hello??

He said in a tired voice. Now what happened to him??

Sameer: Shree!! We have a new case. Take all the details from local police about the murder happened in Rawte Industries last night.

Sam said in a stern voice and I heard Riya took a deep breath. I looked at her only to see her looking at me questioning. I nodded at her in yes and she looked down. I know she looks angry right now.

Shree: Yes sir!!

Shree cut the call and we all went to our rooms to get ready. We still have some time so its better if we go there after breakfast. Who knows how much time this case will take.

***********************************************************************************************

I looked at each and every person standing here right now. I can't believe anything like this can happen. Sahil is a very efficient person, and he is working as my PA from last 3 years. And now he is dead. He died last night. At least local police said that. I looked at every employee of mine.

Suryakant: Who came here last night??

I asked glaring at every one. They all looked at me tensed. But no one is saying anything. As if they are instructed not to open their mouth. I can't believe something like this can happen in my company.

Nakul: No one Bade Papa. I swear I don't know anything about this.

Nakul said looking at me tensed. I know he is too wound up. He do know something which he is not telling me. But I have that much faith in him, that I know he won't kill anyone ever.

Suryakant: My PA is dead. That too withing 8 hours of coming here. And this is not an accident.

I glared at him and he looked down gulping in fear. I swear whoever did this here will curse the day he came to know about this company.

Nihal: Don't worry Bade Papa. I told Commissioner to involve the best force and we will know who did this very soon.

Nihal said looking at me determined and I can see Nakul went pale. Suddenly I looked at the person who is coming in our company. CM sir!!

Suryakant: Hello CM Sir!!

I welcomed him shaking his hands. If only Arjun would be here then he can see how prominent our business is. Even CM sir came here to meet us. God knows where he is.

CM: Hello Mr Rawte. Don't worry we have included some very efficient officers in this case.

CM sir said smiling at me softly. I nodded at him finally relaxing somewhat. If CM sir is saying that the officers are good, then they must be good.

Suryakant: Thank you Sir.

I looked at him gratefully. Suddenly we heard a voice.

Shree: Good morning Sir!!

I looked towards the voice only to see an boy in his mid twenties coming towards us. He has curly hairs and he has a bag with him. He looks like some computer operator.

CM: Morning Shree.

CM sir said shaking his hand. Wow!! How lucky he is. He got to meet CM sir at such a young age. But who is this boy. CM sir looked at my puzzled expression and smiled at me.

CM: He is ETF technical expert.

He said indicating towards Shree. Oh!! so he is an officer?? He doesn't look like one.

CM: Where are your team members??

CM sir asked looking at the boy. Suddenly we all heard a very powerful voice.

Chotu: We are here sir.

We all looked at the person, who just came in with a girl. Oh god!! This man is looking so powerful. I gulped looking at him nervously.

CM: Ah Chotu.

CM sir said smiling at him. I looked at the man stunned. Chotu?? He is chotu??

Nihal: Chotu??

I looked at Nihal only to see him looking at that hulk man in wonder.

CM: He is the commando of ETF.

CM sir said grinning at that man. And he nodded at CM sir. Then the girl beside the hulk man wished CM sir.

Sakshi: Morning Sir.

I looked at the girl who is looking beautiful. She is an officer too?? Strange. She is beautiful. She can be a model. I can't understand why they all take this profession.

CM: And Sakshi. Crime Reporter.

CM sir said indicating towards the girl. She smiled looking at us. Wow!! Her smile is really beautiful. If only Arjun would be here, I am sure she would have like him. This girl is full of attitude, but she is really beautiful too. I looked at Nihal only to see him looking at this girl with a huge smile.

CM: So?? You okay in the team??

CM sir asked looking at Sakshi teasingly. Looks like CM sir is very familiar with the team. This team's members are really lucky.

Sakshi: Perfect sir!!

She looked at CM sir grinning. And he nodded at her. Then he looked towards the dead body.

CM: And that girl beside the dead body is Lisa, ETF Forensic Expert.

He said indicating towards Sahil's dead body. I looked at the girl he is indicating towards. That girl is beautiful too. But just looks like she is coming directly from a gothic themed party. What's wrong with girls now a days?? The more beautiful they are, the more dangerous jobs they choose.

CM: Where are your seniors??

Suddenly CM sir asked looking at Shree.

Shree: They are on their way sir.

That curly haired boy said in a stiff tone. I can see that they all look young and harmless but they all are very dangerous. They all look too serious when they talk about their work.

CM: Okay. Take all the evidences and information local police have found.

CM sir ordered looking at them. I saw the girl, Sakshi, rolling her eyes and Chotu looked bored. Shree looked at CM sir smirking.

Sakshi: Our seniors had already instructed us about that. We have all the information sir.

Sakshi said looking at CM sir smiling slightly. CM sir looked at the team smiling and shook his head. Then he looked everywhere frowning.

CM: Good. Where is Riya and Ayesha.

He asked looking at the team curiously. Now who are they??

Shree: They are coming with Arjun Sir and Rathore sir.

The curly haired boy said in a serious voice. I looked at him stunned. Did he really said Arjun?? Also everyone of them is looking at me as if I am the criminal. What the hell is wrong with them??

CM: Fine.

CM sir nodded at him. But I can't keep my curiosity away. I have to know which Arjun they are talking about.

Suryakant: Arjun??

I asked looking at CM sir frowning. Are they talking about Arjun?? My Arjun?? Is he really here?? Suddenly CM sir started smiling widely. Now I have doubt that he can talk about the same Arjun. CM sir is smiling as if he meets and knows this Arjun personally. I don't think its the same Arjun. I looked at CM sir hearing his voice.

CM: Hmm. Arjun Suryakant Rawte, ETF's second-in-command. And Sameer Damsingh Rathore, ETF's chief. They both handle this team exceptionally. And besides their team is the best in whole India. Riya and Ayesha are just perfect. Meet them and you will be their fan. I am their biggest fan.

CM sir said grinning and I looked at him stunned. What?? He is talking about Arjun? And Sameer Rathore??

Chotu: They are here sir.

Suddenly the hulk man said looking towards the door. I looked towards the door only to see the same boy who was Arjun's friend and a lady with him.

Sameer Rathore!! He is looking different. More stiff, more disciplined and even more dangerous. He is totally changed. And Arjun is working with him?? I thought they both were not in talking terms. Then how can they work in a single team?? And who is this lady along with him?? She looks beautiful yet dangerous. Suddenly CM sir started speaking again.

CM: That's Sameer Rathore, ETF chief and Ayesha Kapoor, ETF Encounter Specialist.

He said indicating towards the door. They both came in and went directly towards the dead body. They didn't even look at CM sir. What the!! They are just police officers. How can they ignore CM sir?? Suddenly I heard CM sir's excited voice.

CM: There they are. My favorite people.

I looked at him confused only to see him and everyone looking at the door. I heard everyone in my company gasp and I turned towards the door, only to see Arjun standing there with a girl.

They both are looking everywhere frowning. But they both are looking gorgeous. I never knew Arjun looks so handsome in simple clothes. And who is this girl beside him? Normally he didn't pay attention to girls but here in this team, he is surrounded by girls. I shook my head looking at him.

Nihal: Jun Bhai!!

Nihal whispered standing beside me. He had a big smile on his face. I looked towards Nakul only to see him looking at Arjun pale faced. Now I am sure he did something. And he is involved in this murder one way or another.

Anjali: Arjun!!

Anjali looked at Arjun smiling and with tears in her eyes. Suddenly Arjun looked towards us with blank eyes. There are no emotions there. Its as if we are strangers for him. I don't know what he is thinking, and how he is, after the death of his wife. And isn't this girl standing too close to Arjun? And he is fine with that??

CM: ACP Arjun Rawte, ETF second in command, and Riya Arjun Rawte, his wife and ETF Senior Inspector. After Arjun and Sameer she is the incharge of ETF.

CM sir introduced us to the persons but I looked at him stunned hearing what he said about the girl beside Arjun. Riya Arjun Rawte?? She is his wife?? He married again? That too a police officer. ETf third in command. I can't believe it.

Suryakant: What??

I looked at CM sir shocked.

CM: What happened??

He asked looking at me confused. What can I tell him?? That the person standing in front of me is my son? And I don't even know that he married again??

Suryakant: No...Nothing.

I shook my head smiling awkwardly. Now I know why this whole team was glaring at me. They know who I am. Arjun and his wife came towards us. I want to talk to him. But I know this is not the right time.

CM: Hey Arjun.

CM sir said hugging Arjun. I shook my head somewhat smiling. I hoped that Arjun should be here, then he could see how CM sir came to us. But I can see that CM sir loves and respects Arjun. In fact he has respect for each and every member of this team. Also the whole team talked to CM sir as if they don't care who he is. I have never heard about ETF before, but I can see by their behaviour that they all are very important. Even more important than our big ministers.

Arjun: Hello Sir!!

Arjun said breaking the hug and smiling slightly at CM sir. Suddenly Sameer Rathore came there too. He looked at me shocked then looked at Arjun tensed. Arjun blinked his eyes as if reassuring him, and finally he relaxed. Hmm, looks like they are friends again. But how??

CM: Arjun, Sameer. We want this case to be solved as soon as possible.

CM sir said looking at both of them somewhat strictly.

Sameer: Don't worry sir. We will do our best.

Sameer said nodding at him and CM sir left. Then Sameer and Arjun looked towards their team. I looked at Anjali only to see her crying. I put my arm on her shoulder trying to console her. I looked up only to see Riya looking at Anjali with pity. Then her eyes moved towards me, and suddenly her eyes are filled with fire. The fire that was always missing in Roshni. This girl is full of attitude and its as if she loathe me. But I never even met her. What the hell is wrong with her??

Sameer: Team?? What's the report?

Sameer asked looking at his team members and Riya started looking towards them too in full attention. In fact they all are in their officers mode.

Shree: Sir!! The man is Sahil Sharma. Mr. Rawte's PA.

The curly haired boy said forwarding a file towards Sameer. He and Arjun were reading the file. Riya was doing something on Shree's tab when suddenly her eyes widened. She looked at me stunned then at Arjun tensed. What happened to her now??

Riya: Arjun!!

She called Arjun tensed as if she is trying to control herself.

Arjun: Hmm?

Arjun looked at her concerned. So, he is not totally immune to his surroundings. He do care for people. She forwarded the tab to Arjun and his eyes flared looking at the tab. They all looked at tab shocked. What is in that??

Arjun: What the hell!!

He shouted looking at Riya angrily and she nodded gritting her teeth. I can clearly see anger in every one of them.

Arjun: Everyone. Seal this office right now.

He shouted to the police officers and everyone looked at him terrified. They all got up from whatever they were doing and started obeying his order. I looked at my company baffled. They can't just seal my company.

Suryakant: You can't do this.

I looked at him angrily.

Arjun: I can and I will. From last 6 months this office is the control of several illegal activities Mr. Suryakant Rawte.

He said throwing his tab at me. I looked at the information shocked. I can't believe all this is going on in my company. I looked at Nakul angrily.

Nakul: This...This is not true.

He said looking at me terrified. Suddenly Riya came and stood in front of Nakul.

Riya: Are you questioning MY information??

She said glaring at Nakul. And Nakul looked at her with some weird determination on his face. What is he doing?? Riya rolled her eyes and pointed a gun on Nakul's head. We all moved back somewhat but Nakul stood there as if he doesn't care. What the hell!!

Riya: Move back before I will do anything bad. Mr. Nakul Vishambhar Rawte.

She shouted with a weird glint in her eyes. For a first time I felt terrified of a girl. I looked at Arjun only to see him looking at Riya in admiration.

Nakul: But...

Nakul looked at her somewhat scared. But still he refused to back down. What the hell is wrong with this boy. Doesn't he know he can be arrested for this behavior of his??

Riya: MOVE!!

She shouted and he stumbled backwards. God!! What is she?? It felt as if she is some devil. Suddenly she shouted again but this time she shouted the name of her colleague.

Riya: Sakshi!!

That reporter came towards her running. She looked at Riya curiously.

Riya: Find every single article about him.

Riya said glaring towards Nakul and Nakul paled as if he will get a heart attack any time now.

Sakshi: Okay!!

Sakshi nodded and move towards the curly haired boy, and they started doing something in his laptop and the tab. I don't know what to do or say anymore. Never in my dream had I thought that I will meet Arjun like this. That my employees will see him like this.

And who thought he will marry again?? That too to a girl like this? A police officer. Fine. But this girl is something else. Her eyes have some devilish intent. As if she came here to kill each and every person. I am really scared for my son. What the hell did he involved himself into??

***********************************************************************************************

We all are sitting on the floor waiting for them to find anything. I looked at Arjun only to see him shouting and barking orders at his team. He was always like that, always bossy. Right now he was shouting at Sameer and Sameer is looking at him tensed. Suddenly Riya came there and glared at both of them. They both looked at her baffled and then calmed down.

Strange!! This girl is shouting at one time and she is calming down someone else another time. That too the persons no one can face, when they are angry. I know Sameer is a Rajput, and when he is angry, he doesn't listen to anyone. Even Arjun's anger is uncontrollable. So how can anyone control both of them?? That too with just a glare?? I looked towards Nakul only to see him glaring at Riya.

Suddenly they all came towards us, or precisely towards Nakul. Riya threw some papers at him. All of a sudden, Nakul looked as if he is ready to murder someone. I never thought that Nakul can be like that. He got up and looked at Riya menacingly. I shuddered looking at Nakul's expressions but Riya didn't even budge. It seems as if she doesn't even care.

Nakul: Do you even know about whom are you talking ??

Nakul asked Riya with attitude. What happened to Nakul?? My son was not like that?? Riya looked ready to kill.

Riya: And DO YOU KNOW to whom are YOU talking to??

She asked looking at Nakul smirking as if she knows what he is trying to do.

Nakul: Who are you?? Just a B grade officer.

He said looking at her as if he is disgusted by her. I took a deep breath trying to find my Nakul in him. What had happened to him?? He never insulted girls. Suddenly Riya looked at him teasingly. What the hell is going on here??

Riya: Ever heard about Sikandar Khan??

She asked looking at him innocently. Suddenly Nakul's eyes flared in anger. And who is Sikandar??

Nakul: Of course!! He is the mafia don.

Nakul said shrugging as if its most common knowledge. How did he know mafia don??

Riya: No!! He WAS the mafia don.

Riya looked at him as if she is ready to laugh. I knew something happened here. But I can't understand what. But everyone from ETF team understood as they all looked at Riya and Nakul stunned. Suddenly Riya shouted.

Riya: Ayesha??

She called someone and the girl who was with Sameer before came towards Riya. So she is Ayesha.

Riya: Arrest him.

Riya said looking at Nakul with a devilish smile. I looked at Riya astonished. Why are they arresting him??

Nakul: What?? Why??

Nakul asked looking at them bewildered. I looked towards Arjun's dad and Nihal only to see both of them looking towards Nakul confused. Even I am confused about what's going on here.

Riya: Because Mr. Nakul Rawte, no one and I mean it, no one knows about Sikandar till they are involved in terrorist activities.

Riya said sitting in front of Nakul smirking. Shit!! She is right. How did Nakul know about mafia don??

Arjun: Riya is right. Sikandar's name was Shehzaad. And only those who are included in terrorist activities know his real name.

Arjun looked at Nakul gritting his teeth. I never see Arjun looking at Nakul like this before. Its as if he doesn't even know Nakul.

Nakul: You can never be able to arrest me.

Nakul got up and looked at Arjun menacingly. How can he talk like this to Arjun. I have talked to him some 3 days ago and he was crying remembering Arjun and now he is behaving as if he hates Arjun. How is this even possible??

Arjun: I don't need to arrest you. Riya is enough for you.

Arjun looked at Nakul as if he is bored. He is right. Nakul can't fight anyone. He doesn't know how to fight.

Nakul: SHE will fight ME?? You are joking for sure.

With each passing minute, the feeling is getting stronger. The feeling that this man is not my Nakul. This man can never be my son.

Arjun: If I am joking, then the joke is on you, Nakul.

Arjun said indicating Riya to go on and she nodded at him. She threw her gun at Arjun, and he winked at her grinning. They all sat on the chairs opposite Nakul and Riya. If this person is not Nakul, and if this person is so sure about his fighting then isn't Riya in danger??

Nakul was looking at her smirking when suddenly he fell down. We all looked shocked only to see Nakul looking at Riya stunned. She has a scarf in her hand.

Nihal: Wow!!

I looked at Nihal and he is looking at Riya with his jaw dropped. Suddenly Nakul got up and tried to hit Riya, but she dodged his each and every blow. This goes on for almost 10 minutes. And then he punched him square in his face and he fell down stunned. Then she started hitting him and we all looked at her astonished. I looked at ETF team only to see them looking at Riya proudly.

Nakul dropped down in Mr. Rawte's feet.

Suryakant: What the hell!!

Mr. Rawte is looking at Riya perplexed. Arjun came and pulled Nakul up by his collar.

Arjun: I told you before Nakul, that the joke is on you.

Arjun said to Nakul in a tone I have never heard from him. I have never saw this face of Arjun before.

Sameer: Arrest him.

Sameer threw Nakul to his officers. I looked at Mr. Rawte only to see him sat down shocked. Even I can't believe Nakul can do all this. I looked at Arjun only to see him looking at Riya tensed. She is glaring at Nakul as if she will kill him. Something is wrong with that girl. How can any girl beat someone this mercilessly??

Nihal: Please control yourself Bade Papa.

I heard Nihal's voice and sat beside Mr. Rawte. He has tears in his eyes.

Suryakant: I trusted him. And what did he do??

Mr. Rawte said with tears flowing from his eyes. We both have loved Nakul as our son, and he repaid our love with deception. I felt my eyes tearing up too.

***********************************************************************************************

I glared at Nakul, even though he is looking as if ready to die. But I know he is acting. I didn't beat him that much. And I know for sure that this Nakul is not what he seems.

I have read Sakshi and Shree's reports. Nakul has always been an honest person. Then how come he is operating an illegal business?? That too from his own company?? This just didn't sit right with me.

I looked at Arjun only to see him looking towards his parents tensed. I know he is very disturbed. And that's why I took this matter in my own hands. I know he is very much tensed looking at the state of Nakul, but I know he sensed something off in Nakul too. I went towards him.

Riya: Arjun?? You okay??

I asked putting my hand on his shoulder. He looked at me and then sighed trying to relax himself. Rathore sir came towards both of us and indicated towards the chairs. We all sat there and a constable brought tea and coffees for us.

Arjun: Hmm. What about this Sahil??

Arjun asked looking at me curiously. But I looked at the cup which is really full of dust. Someone forwarded a tissue and I looked up only to see Arjun looking at me exasperated. I looked at him smiling sheepishly and took the tissue. We all laughed looking at each other. I wiped the rim of the cup and started telling him what I think about Sahil.

Riya: He worked with Nakul. But then I don't understand that who killed him. I am sure that Nakul won't kill him.

I said looking at Arjun and Rathore sir and they both nodded.

Arjun: Right!! And something is off with Nakul.

Arjun said looking at all of us confused. That's what I felt too. As far as I know, this Nakul can't fight, but that man here was fighting as if he is used to fighting. But may be Arjun have some interesting theory.

Riya: Means??

I looked at him curiously.

Arjun: As far as I felt, he was provoking you to arrest him. He knows you are a police officer. Still??

Arjun looked at me confused. Right!! Why would anyone provoke a police officer??

Sameer: You are right Arjun. Sahil's phone is missing.

Rathore sir said looking at all of us tensed. Phone is missing. That's fine. At least we can find out his call details by his number.

Riya: But we have his number.

I looked at Rathore sir smirking. He looked at me as if he found a lottery.

Sameer: Right!! Shree??

He looked at Shree and Shree came towards us getting up from his chair.

Shree: Yes sir!!

He asked looking at Rathore sir raising his eyebrow.

Sameer: Bring all the call records of Sahil and track his number.

Rathore sir said looking at Shree sternly.

Shree: Okay sir.

He nodded and went to his chair. He started finding about the information. Suddenly I heard Rathore sir's tensed voice.

Sameer: What are you thinking??

I looked towards Rathore sir only to see him looking at Arjun tensed. I know Arjun is really disturbed right now. Don't know what's going on in his mind.

Arjun: Reasons about why anyone would want to close this office.

Arjun said looking at us. He is right. All this is done because someone wants us to know that something illegal is going on here, so that this company got sealed. We all came out from our thinking zone as we all heard an angry voice.

Suryakant: We all are so tensed here, and you all are drinking tea and coffee??

Arjun's Dad looked at all of us angrily. Right now I felt like killing him. What does he thinks of himself?? Only he works hard?? Our work is nothing right?? All we do is just sit and drink coffee. I will tell him what I think about his work.

Riya: You want too?? We didn't restrict that. You can have your drinks too.

I said to him smiling sarcastically. He took a deep breath and looked at me stunned. Now take that Mr. Rawte.

Arjun: Riya!!

Arjun looked at me astonished. I know he wants to shout at me, but he wants to laugh too. Too much contradiction in his brain.

Sameer: Your humor is really bad.

Rathore sir said looking at me smirking. Okay, now get ready for another blow Mr. Suryakant Rawte.

Riya: Yes and my in laws are worst than my humor.

I said in somewhat loud voice and I heard several gasps. Arjun and Rathore sir are coughing looking at me stunned. The whole team is looking at me astonished. I looked at Arjun's Dad only to see him looking at me with pain in his eyes. Pain?? Really? He doesn't even know what pain is. When Arjun needed him the most, where was he??

Riya: Now can you please leave?? We are talking about something confidential.

I glared at him and he nodded going away. I don't know if I can ever forgive him for leaving Arjun alone like that.

Arjun: Don't you think you were too rude??

Arjun asked looking at me tensed.

Riya: No. I wasn't. You are his son, you can listen to what he says. But I won't.

I glared at him and he looked at me baffled. Then suddenly he burst out laughing. Every single person looked at him in awe. I looked at him smiling somewhat but suddenly I remembered he is laughing at me. What the hell!!

Riya: What the hell Arjun!! You are laughing??

I looked at him confused. Why is he even laughing??

Arjun: I swear Sameer, she is just becoming a time bomb. No one knows what ticks her.

He said looking at Rathore sir amused and they both started laughing again. If I was not on duty right now then they both will be dead. I looked at everyone only to see them trying to control their laughter. I shook my head and looked towards Arjun's parents only to see them looking at Arjun and Rathore sir with tears in their eyes.

Sameer: Right!! After all she is YOUR wife. And I think everyone loses their cool when their surname changes to Rawte.

Rathore sir said in somewhat loud voice. I looked at him stunned. What the hell!!

Arjun: SAM!!

Riya: RATHORE SIR!!

Arjun and I both shouted together at him annoyed. And he looked at both of us raising his hands in surrender.

Sameer: Okay. Okay. No need to be hyper yaar.

He said grinning and I rolled my eyes at him. Sometimes he behaves like a child. Suddenly Shree came towards us.

Shree: Sir??

He looked at Rathore sir seriously. Hmm, looks like he found something.

Sameer: Hmm.

Rathore sir looked at Shree curiously.

Shree: Last call at his phone was from someone named Aamir.

Shree said looking at the call records list. Suddenly we all heard Nihal's voice.

Nihal: What!!

We all turned towards him only to see him looking at us pale faced. Looks like he knows this Aamir.

Riya: What happened??

I asked him raising my eyebrows.

Nihal: This Aamir called us 6 months ago for money, but I declined. And when I told this to Nakul Bhai, he became very nervous. In fact he was very scared.

He said looking at all of us tensed. But he is especially looking at Arjun.

Arjun: We got the answer to his weird behavior. But the question is why would he kill Sahil??

Arjun said looking at us confused. Wait!! Is this the same Aamir I encountered with Sik. If yes!! Then he is a person who is related to mafia. And Nakul was scared of him. But the man we all encountered some time ago was not looking scared. In fact he looked over confident. As if he knew what's going on and he has planned all this.

Sameer: A warning may be??

Rathore sir said thinking something.

Arjun: Possible!!

Arjun nodded at him. If what I am thinking is right then that means that policemen are not safe with that Nakul. Suddenly Rathore sir's phone rang. He picked up the call and put it on speaker.

Inspector: Hello sir??

That inspector said in a scared voice.

Sameer: What happened?

Rathore sir asked looking at all of us tensed.

Inspector: Someone attacked our van.

Inspector said in a nervous voice. No!! That Nakul can't run away.

Arjun: Where are you?

Arjun asked in an urgent tone. He loaded and unlocked his revolver and we all did the same.

Inspector: Just in the backyard. We were just making Nakul sit in the van.

Inspector said as if he is barely holding. Shit!! This is not good.

Sameer: We are coming. Don't let Nakul run.

Rathore sir said sternly. I looked at everyone only to see them looking at all of us in fear. I shook my head at them.

Inspector: He is in our custody sir but its getting difficult.

Inspector said and cut the call. We all got ready to go. But someone has to stay here.

Sameer: Let's move. Shree?? You stay here with Sakshi, Chotu and Ayesha. Riya and Arjun come with me.

Rathore sir said indicating our works to all of us. We nodded and went out behind Rathore sir. We reached the backyard fast as Arjun know all the shortcuts.

Finally after fighting with some men we were able to recapture Nakul. Arjun dragged Nakul inside again. Now I know Arjun has really lost his patience. But I know Arjun still thinks that this person we are capturing is Nakul. Arjun threw Nakul down harshly. But still he is somewhat soft on him. Arjun's mom looked like she wants to interrupt when Arjun's dad grabbed her shaking his head in a no. For the first time he did something right.

Nakul: What are you doing??

Nakul shouted looking at Arjun scared. Or I can say he is acting as if he is scared.

Arjun: Its now or never Nakul. Open your mouth or else lose your life forever.

Arjun asked pointing his gun on his head. I don' t think he will open his mouth. And if he does open his mouth, then I am sure he will lie.

Nakul: I..I didn't do anything.

Nakul said looking at Arjun scared and with tears in his eyes. Wow!! Nice acting. But I know who he is.

Arjun: We know that. Now start telling the story before I change my mind about giving you time.

Arjun said looking at Nakul still trying to control his anger. I can see wheels turning on Nakul's head. I know he is framing another lie. Now its time to tell everyone who he is.

Riya: Arjun. Control yourself. I have a better option.

I pushed Arjun's revolver away.

Arjun: What??

He asked looking at me baffled. I looked at Nakul smirking.

Riya: What if I tell you that I know who you are??

I said to him raising my eyebrows and he went pale. Arjun looked at me curiously.

Nakul: What...You...You don't know anything.

He said stuttering as if he is really scared. Now he is in right path. He should be scared, not arrogant. But before I can say anything else Mr. Suryakant Rawte came in front.

Suryakant: What do you mean by who he is?? He is my nephew. My brother's son. Nakul Vishambhar Rawte.

Mr. Rawte glared at me. Hah!! As if it will have any effect on me.

Riya: No. He is not!!

I looked at all of them smiling sweetly. But right now I felt like killing this Nakul in front of me.

Suryakant: WHAT!!

Arjun's dad shouted looking at me as if I have lost my mind. Well everyone will lost their mind.

Riya: Let me show you a magic.

I winked at him and indicated him to move to a side. He did what I indicated looking at Nakul tensed.

Riya: Shree, Chotu? grab him.

I shouted and they both grabbed Nakul tightly.

Nakul: Leave me!! I said leave me!!

Nakul said trying to emotionally blackmail everyone by shedding tears.

Arjun: What are you doing Riya??

Arjun asked looking at Nakul tensed.

Riya: Trust me Arjun.

I blinked at him and he nodded still tensed.

Nakul: LEAVE ME!!

Suddenly Nakul shouted realising no one is going to help him.

Riya: Why so hurry??

I said innocently removing the mask from his face. Everyone gasped looking at him. Aamir Siddique, the person who is involved in distributing deadly weapons all around India. And his specialization is changing faces by wearing masks of different people. That's why police can never recognize him and catch him.

Sameer: What the!!

Rathore sir looked at Aamir stunned. They all pointed revolvers at Aamir.

Suryakant: Oh god!!

Mr. Rawte looked at Aamir shocked. Even Nihal looked shocked.

Nihal: Aamir??

He asked looking at the person as if he is in a trance.

Riya: Bingo!! He is Aamir.

I said looking at Aamir smirking. Suddenly Nihal grabbed Aamir's collar. What the hell is he doing?? Thank god!! Aamir is on gunpoint otherwise who knows what will happen with Nihal.

Nihal: Where is my brother?? You bas***d!! Where is Nakul Bhai??

He shouted crying looking at Aamir, but that bas***d just shrugged nonchalantly. Then he looked at me smirking.

Aamir: Tell them where is his brother. I am sure you know everything. Zoya Ahmed. Or should I say Riya Arjun Rawte now??

He asked looking at Arjun and me innocently. I gritted my teeth annoyed, but I know what he is trying to do. I am not an idiot.

Riya: No. I don't know about Nakul but don't worry I will find out. If you know that I am Zoya Ahmed. Then I am sure you must have known how I work??

I asked him raising my eyebrows. He looked at me as if I have grown two horns on my head. Zoya Ahmed was not just a face in Sikandar's business. Zoya Ahmed was a terror. I inflicted terror in mafia people in my own way.

Aamir: No!! You...You can't do anything to me.

He said looking at me gulping. I looked at Arjun only to see him sighing as if relaxing. I know he is happy that his brother is not actually involved in all this. But what to say about this Aamir. Even after knowing me, he is challenging me as if he can really fight me.

Riya: Still challenging me?? I won't mind killing you Aamir. And trust me no one here will say a single word against me. If I can kill Sikandar, then who are you for me?? Just a irritating pest.

I looked at him bored and he looked at me as if I have lost my mind.

Aamir: But Sikandar was killed by Russian mafia.

He asked looking at me suspiciously. Oops!! I forgot, I can't reveal that we killed Sikky.

Riya: Yes he did. But I was the one who plotted his death. Well not alone. My team was with me.

I said to him and looked at Arjun and Rathore sir. They were looking at Aamir grinning. Suddenly Arjun grabbed Aamir's neck.

Arjun: Aamir!! Open your mouth before we start using our hands.

Arjun asked pressing his hands on Aamir's neck. I saw everyone in the company looking at Arjun in horror. I know they are thanking their stars that this person is not their boss.

Aamir: What do you want to know??

Aamir said trying to breath. Finally Arjun released his neck. I looked at Arjun shaking my head exasperated.

Riya: Why Rawte Industries??

I asked looking at Aamir seriously.

Aamir: That Nakul and this Nihal is not even bothering to acknowledge us. So we decided to teach them a lesson. We conspired to shut this factory for ever.

Aamir said glaring at Nihal and Nihal glared at him back. Of course he will glare back, after all he is Arjun Rawte's brother.

Arjun: Where is Nakul??

Arjun asked looking at Aamir sternly.

Aamir: Dead.

Aamir said softly and looked down but not before I saw his smirk. He is lying.

Nihal: NO!!

Nihal shouted looking at Aamir in horror.

Suryakant: WHAT??

Mr. Rawte shouted looking at Aamir with tears in his eyes. Now we have dragged this too much. I looked at Arjun and Rathore sir gritting my teeth and nodded at them. Rathore sir slapped him with his back hand, then kicked him on his stomach. Aamir got up somewhat staggering. I moved back along with Rathore sir giving Arjun space to do what he wants.

I know he is really angry right now, and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. Rathore sir nodded at Arjun and he gave his revolver to me. Aamir looked at Arjun in horror. Arjun started beating Aamir black and blue and I heard several gasps.

I looked towards Arjun's parents only to see his mom looking at me pleading. I know she wants me to stop Arjun, but I will never do that. He needs to vent out his anger. And its better if he do that on Aamir.

Aamir: AAH!!

Suddenly Aamir shouted painfully as Arjun broke his hand. Man!! Arjun is behaving as a ruthless person.

Aamir: STOP!!

He shouted again when Arjun broke his another hand. He is pretty much bruised till now. And Nakul is still missing. We want him awake.

Aamir: PLEASE!!

He shouted when Arjun punched him on his face. Shit!! He is out to kill Aamir. We have to stop him right now. I looked at Rathore sir and he is looking at me tensed. I nodded and we both went towards Arjun. I grabbed Arjun's hand when he was going to punch Aamir again.

Sameer: Now open your mouth before we make you brain dead.

Rathore sir said fisting Aamir's hairs and pulled his hairs tightly.

Aamir: He...he is with my men outside. They are waiting for my orders to blast this factory down.

Aamir said and everyone got alert looking at him horrified.

Arjun: Bloody hell!!

Arjun shouted and kicked Aamir again. Shit!! Bomb?? That too here?? We have to act fast.

Sameer: Shree!! Lisa!! Sakshi!! Escort everyone out.

Rathore sir shouted looking at them. And they all nodded instructing everyone to make a line. What if this Aamir has his men out??

Riya: Wait!! Escort them from fire escape and secretly. No one should know that anyone is going out.

I said to them and Shree nodded instructing the lines of people towards fire escape. I looked towards the people only to see Arjun's mom, dad and Nihal looking at Arjun and me tensed. This is our life, our responsibility. They can't even understand how we feel.

Riya: Now let's see Aamir how smart your men are.

I said looking at Aamir smirking. They all will be dead today. By hook or by crook.

Aamir: M..Means??

Aamir looked at me startled.

Riya: Means we will handle this matter. But in Zoya's way.

I winked at him grinning.

Aamir: NO!!

He shouted looking at me tensed. He is an idiot if he thinks that he can leave from here unscathed. At the end he will be dead.

I looked at Nakul only to see him smirking slightly. But as soon as he looked at me he acted as if he is miserable. I am sure he is wasting our time. Its better if we find where is the bomb. I am sure Nakul is not where he indicated.

I went away from Ayesha and Aamir so that they can't hear me and called Shree. He picked up in just one ring.

Riya: Shree??

I asked tensed. I don't want anyone else to hear what I am saying. I have already messaged Shree to call bomb squad as soon as we got to know about the bomb.

Shree: Yes Riya?

He said as if whispering. I know he is in between employees.

Riya: You called Bomb Squad?

I asked him trying to keep my voice low.

Shree: Yes. They are coming in right now.

He said in a serious tone. Thank god!! they are finally here.

Riya: Great!! Send Lisa with them. You stay with the employees.

I said to him sternly. I don't like ordering them, but in this situation I can't be their friend. I have to be their senior. Cause I know more than them.

Shree: Okay!!

He said seriously and cut the call. Now its time to find out where is Nakul. I went towards Aamir and sat in front of him in a chair. He looked at me warily.

Riya: Now. Let's talk Aamir.

I looked at him curiously.

Aamir: I told you whatever you want to know..

He said looking at me and stiffened. Okay!! He wants to play?? That's fine with me.

Riya: You didn't tell us about Nakul.

I asked looking at him innocently. Suddenly I heard Ayesha's voice.

Ayesha: But Riya he said that Nakul is with his goons.

I looked at Ayesha only to see her looking at me confused.

Riya: No he is not!!

I told her and then glared at Aamir. He gulped looking at me. Suddenly we heard Arjun's voice.

Arjun: Riya is right. Nakul is not with them.

He said coming beside me. I looked back only to see Rathore sir and Chotu coming, but Arjun's family is with them too. What the hell are they doing here??

Aamir: Find him. If you can.

Aamir said looking at us challenging. Great!! So now we have to find out. Then I heard Arjun started saying something.

Arjun: Aamir deals with weapons and he killed Sahil yesterday night. Also, I have checked Sahil's call list and he called Nakul too many times.

Arjun said looking at Aamir with blank face and I can see uneasiness growing in his face. Wait!! If Sahil called Nakul too many times that means Nakul would have come here too.

Riya: That means Nakul was here yesterday. Right Aamir??

I looked at Aamir only to see his face contorted in worry. I can see we are on right path. And if they killed Sahil for seeing something then it can be possible that Nakul was a witness too.

Riya: Now the point is if Nakul was here last night that means he saw the same thing for which Sahil was killed.

I looked at Aamir smirking while his face lost all the color. I heard gasps and looked back to see Arjun's family looking at both of us stunned.

Arjun: That means Nakul is here only. Tell the bomb squad to find the bomb. I am sure he put the bomb near Nakul only.

Arjun said looking at Aamir with a devilish smile. I smiled looking at Arjun. I know he would find out. I looked back only to see Nihal looking at Arjun admiringly. His Mom has tears in her eyes. But his dad is looking down as if he is ashamed. Now I don't know if he is ashamed of his doings or of Arjun.

Aamir: What the hell!!

Aamir shouted looking at all of us perplexed. Well we are not in ETF just for show.

Arjun: If anything happened to Nakul, I would kill you myself.

Arjun grabbed Aamir's neck tightly. Then Aamir started laughing.

Aamir: If only he can be alive.

Aamir looked at Arjun smirking and Arjun took a deep breath. Now is the time for Zoya to come out. I pulled out my revolver and unlocked it. Then I pointed it at Aamir's head.

Riya: Then you can live for only 15 minutes more. Otherwise you will be dead in next 15 seconds.

I looked at him sternly and put my finger on the trigger. He looked at me horrified. Cause he knows I will pull the trigger without any warning. He knows that who he is talking to.

Aamir: What... What if he is alive??

He said stuttering and looking at me scared.

Riya: Then he will see your death. Simple!!

I shrugged nonchalantly. And Aamir looked at me as if I am mad. Then I heard Arjun's mom's voice.

Anjali: How easily she talks about death.

She said in a scared tone. She didn't say it that loud but since there is pindrop silence in the room, we all can hear it clearly. I wanted to say something when I heard Ayesha's stern voice.

Ayesha: And that easily we kill people too.

I looked at Ayesha only to see her glaring at Arjun's mom. I know none of us liked when someone questions our work. And I know Ayesha hate it too. But she is wrong about killing people. We don't kill people.

Riya: No. Not people. We kill devils like him. We don't kill people, we save people from these bas***ds.

I said indicating towards Aamir. Ayesha nodded looking at me smiling slightly. Suddenly Rathore sir's phone rang.

Sameer: Hello??

He said sternly picking up his call. Finally after sometime his face relaxed totally. Looks like the bomb squad find the bomb and may be even Nakul too.

Sameer: Good. Bring them to us.

Rathore sir said smiling slightly. Now I am sure they have Nakul too. He cut the call and then looked at me and Arjun proudly.

Sameer: Riya!! Arjun!! You both were right. They found bomb and Nakul too.

He said grinning and we all relaxed. I looked at Aamir only to see him sweating. And he is trying to put his hand in his pocket. I am sure he has the bomb's trigger in his pocket.

Suddenly the bomb squad team came there with a pretty bruised Nakul. But he is not stabbed or something, just some minor bruises. That means they all planned to blast this company along with Nakul. And they wanted Nakul to see all that.

Arjun: Nakul!!

Arjun whispered looking at Nakul with tears in his eyes.

Nihal: Bhai!!

Nihal came running and hugged Nakul. They both hugged each other tightly. I looked towards Aamir only to see him pulling the trigger out. What the hell!! I kicked his hand and the trigger fell off his hand. I grabbed the trigger and threw it down breaking it into pieces. He looked at me startled.

Riya: Why so hurry Aamir!!

I glared at him and he gulped. I indicated to Chotu and he tied Aamir to a chair. Then finally everyone came inside hearing that the bomb is diffused. Everyone is looking at Nakul and then Aamir in shock.

Arjun: Nakul?? You okay?

Arjun asked looking at Nakul tensed. Nakul broke his hug with Nihal and looked at Arjun with tears in his eyes yet a beautiful smile on his face.

Nakul: Jun Bhai!!

He hugged Arjun tightly and Arjun reciprocated the hug with tears in his eyes too. I smiled looking at them. I looked everywhere only to see everyone looking at Arjun and Nakul adoringly. I know they all love Arjun. I looked towards Arjun's Dad only to see him looking down crying silently. I am still confused if he is crying because of Arjun or Nakul.

I sighed feeling tired. But we still have some work left. We have eliminated everyone but this Aamir is still alive.

Riya: Now the time's up for you Aamir.

I glared at him and he looked at me panicked. All of my team came and stood beside me.

Aamir: No. Please No.

He looked at all of us pleading. I am sure he didn't listen to Sahil and Nakul's pleas.

Arjun: Open him Shree. Let's see how fast he is.

Arjun said looking at Aamir menacingly. Now I know what Arjun planned for him. Shree opened Aamir and he looked at all of us scared.

Sameer: Team!! Take position.

Rathore sir shouted looking at all of us sternly.

Arjun: Run Aamir. RUN!!

Arjun shouted looking at Aamir and he ran towards the front door. I looked towards Arjun and nodded. We both shot at his both legs and he fell down crying.

Everyone else apart from our team shouted in horror. Oh god!! We forgot that there are so many normal people here.

I indicated Sakshi and she nodded and made all the people look other side. We all went towards Aamir.

Riya & Arjun:Game Over!!

We said and shot at Aamir together and he finally closed his eyes looking at all of us horrified.
