Chapter-43
The next-day, except Samjun all were chitchatting in the hall, joking with eachother. As soon Arjun came, all stood up, "Gudmrng sir!"
"Gudmrng Arjun/ bhaiya!" Sakshi and Shree greeted him. Nodding he ordered, "All of you into the conference room, now!" and walked away.
"Conference room...par kyu?" Ayesha frowned looking at others who shook their head in confusion.
They all silently moved inside and took their places. Sam standing from his seat, "Team... I have something to say!"
"Kal se hum har subah training karenghe....joh jismei weak hai uspar focus karenghe.... Taki aage we don't have to face problems!" Sameer announced which shocked the team.
"Training!" Chotu and Shree yelled at a time, while Arjun glared at them, "Kyu....Any problem!"
Both gulped their saliva nodding in no. "Guys... Yeh humsab keliye hai... Tumsab ke saath, mei aur Arjun bhi train karenghe!" Sam informed them.
"Riya..." Sam called out her.
"Sir!" She stood looking at him.
"I know tumhara aim achi hai lekin usse tum shoot karne mei istamaal karna hoga.....Tumhe himat karni hogi, kyunki samne wale ek khatarnak mujrum hai ... Aur mujhe tasali hoga ki koi bewakoofi nahi karega onfelid mei!" He said looking at Arjun who was throwing daggers at him through his gaze.
"Jante hoh parso Arjun tumhse goli chalane keliye apne jaan daav par lagai....and I don't need repition of it. You need to learn and there are no options!" Sam ordered her.
"Bhai...yeh sab keliye hai kya?" Sakshi questioned him.
Looking at her, "Tum aur Liza agar join karna chahte hoh mei nahi rokhunga lekin tumdono keliye mandatory nahi!"
"Waise bhi tumhe toh gun chalani athi haina Sakshi!" Riya said as she herself saw it.
"Haa...usse har weapon ki touch hai, kyunki bhaiya ne khud train kiya usse weapon usage mei!" Shree replied to them.
"Waise bhai... mujhe bhi excuse milsakthi haina!" Shree asked as it's impossible for him to get up early.
"Nahi...tumhe koi excuses nahi milne wala..." Arjun interferred.
"Par kyu....mujhe training ki kya jarurat?" Shree whined, "mei bahut fit huh!"
"Acha...fitness test karwadu mei?" Arjun raised his eyebrow...sure of Shree failing in the test. When he didnot reply, "issliye chup rahna tha tujhe.... Aur haa kalse jaldi utho...humhare saath jogging pe ana hoga tujhe!"
"Bahut hogai subah nau baje tak sona!"
Shree looked at him in horror, "bilkul nahi... Joh karna hai karlijiye...."
Samjun just sighed as it won't get into his brain straight without any initiative.
The next day, as said all came by 6am into the basement area except shree. All looked at the training room in awe as it had every equipment for training which are imported from other places.
"Ayesha tum aur chotu, dono milke train karenge.... Mei aur Riya!" Sam said, "Arjun tum aur .." stopping in middle he raised his eyebrow, "Chote kaha hai?" Arjun just shook his head, "abhi tak nahi utha...aur uthane ka koi laab nahi! Tumsab shuru karo....waise bi che baj raha...Kabir jog pe jayenge mei usse company deta huh..!" Arjun reolied going from there.
It was almost 9, when Sam stopped the training, "Chalo guys, aaj keliye yahi kafi...sab fresh hoke nashte keliye ajao!"
While they went, Sam looking at Arjun, "Shree nahi aya!"
"Nahi...shayad abhi bhi so raha hoga!" Arjun gritted his teeth, noticing it, "Arjun jane dijiye na... Shayad takh gaya hoga aur dertak sorahe...ismei kya galti waise bhi aajkal kaha humsab ko time milrahi rest karne!" Sakshi said coming down, with an intent to rescue shree.
"Jaan...uski tarafdari mat karo...humsab kaam karrahe..... Agar koi kaam nahi hota toh mei kyu uthaunga usse... Yeh team ki practice session hai.. sab equal hai, Shree ke bhai hone se usse koi special treatment nahi milega!" Arjun replied to her.
"He is one of the team member and should follow the rules. Issliye session miss karne keliye usse saza bhi milega...uthne dho pehle!" Sam interferred to which Arjun nodded agreeing with him.
They moved towards the table, where others were waiting for them.After having breakfast they settled in hall itself as no case came.
While they were relaxing shree came down still rubbing his eyes, yawning slightly, without noticing anyone, "Ramu kaka...ek coffee le ayiye!" He yelled grabbing everyone attention.
Arjun closing the newspaper, "aap uth gaye prince Rawte!" With sarcasm drilling in his voice.
"Bhaiya...kyu subah subah mujhe daanth rahe hoh...meine kya kiya...abhi toh utha huh" Shree mumbled still in half sleep.
"Shree...time dekho kya horaha... sade ghyara baj rahe...aur tum abh uthe hoh...aur to aur tumne training session bhi miss kiya!" Sameer chided him. Listening to which Shree opened his eyes full, sleep gone totally...looked at everyone who were looking at him return, stopped his gaze at Arjun, immediately downcasted his eyes, "Bhaiya...woh!"
"No excuses Shree..... Tum bhi team ke ek hissa hoh aur koi special treatment nahi milega tumhe just becoz hum dono boss hai!"
At the same time Ramu kaka brought coffee to Shree who took it immediately.
"Jaldi piyo, aur nashta karlo...kyunki tumhe bahut mehnat karne padega aaj!" Arjun informed going from there.
Neither shree nor others had any idea what Arjun was going to do. Shree getting fresh, and having breakfast...came to the training room as instructed by Arjun.
Walking with chotu, "Tumsab kya kiye subah!" Shree questioned him. Choti narrated what happened, listening to him, "Iska matlab mujhe bhaiya ke saath training karna hai roj!" Shree widened his eyes.
"Ismei kounsi badi baat hai Shree...Arjun sir toh tumhe koi taqleef nahi dega...dekhna humsab se bhi asan hoga tumhara session!" Chotu said.
"Tujhe aisa lagta hai, dekho abh kya hoga uske baad batana!" Shree mumbled looking at him.
Shree stopped Chotu asking him to go and moved into centre where Arjun was standing, stood before him, "Bhaiya.."
"Abhi bhi panch minute late Shree!" Arjun growled at him. "Samai ki koi Khadar nahi..... 30 rounds!" He ordered.
Shree looked up in disbelief, "Bhaiya...panch minute hih toh late hua!"
"50 rounds Shree!" Arjun increased the number, which shut him up.
"Start karo ...pura din nahi hai!" Arjun ordered him who nodded and started running along the training room which is very big, under watchful eyes of Arjun.Shree got tired by 30 rounds, halted catching his knees huffing for air.
"Kya hua?"
"Mujhse nahi hoga...bhaiya, mera peir bahut dukh rahe!" Shree shook his head.
Arjun eyes became soft listening to his voice, "issliye kehta huh.....mujhse aisa kaam mat karwana jisse tumhe takleef hoh woh bhi mere karan. Chote, tum mere bhai hoh, par team mei koi partiality nahi hoga!"
"Chalo...aur bees chakar khatna hai tujhe!" Arjun pulled him up to stand straight. Shree nodded as he cannot escape and started running slowly.
By the end of last round, Shree collapsed spreading himself on the floor, "Ahhh....maa!"
He was fully sweat and tired, and his legs were paining due to running. Arjun shook his head and pulled him up to stand properly, and gently wiped the sweat from his face.
"Bhaiya, mei thak gaya huh...apka punishment khatam hogai kya...aur mei ayinda kabhi session miss nahi karunga, I promise!" Shree babbled as he learned a lesson.
"Chote yeh sab jante huye bhi tum wahi galti dourate hoh... And I am very sure it would repeat everytime!" Arjun said as he knew him very well.
Pouting at him, Shree took water bottle finishing it, they both moved inside. Shree seeing his mother..."mom!" He called going to her,
"Kya hua shree?" Arpita coaxed him, who hugged her, glaring at his brother
"Mom dekho...Bhaiya mujhe itne chakar katwaya training room ki mujhe fever agai...dekho mera peir bhi dukh rahe!" He complained.
For a second Arjun got worried and immediately checked his forehead and neck, but realising normal temperature he glared at him, "Shree....!" Who was having smirk.
"Aapdono chup rahiye.....mujhe tangh mat karo!" Arpita chided and got up going from there. As soon as she was gone, Arjun twisted his ear, "Chote.....!" Showing his eyes.
"Bhaiya chodo.....mujhe room mei jaakar aram karna hai, shyam ko bahar bhi jana hai!" Shree replied.
"Bahar kisliye?" Arjun asked leaving his ear.
Shree looked with hesitation, "Bhaiya...I know you won't agree but..."
"But what Shree?"
"Mere clg friends aye hai, ek chotasa reunion party hai pub mei!" Shree informed.
Before Arjun could reply, "You are not going anywhere shree!" Sameer said, which made him frown, "Bhai... Kya abh mei apne doston se bhi nahi milsaktha?"
Sameer was about to reply, but Arjun stopped him, "Sam...jane dhe...!"
Shree yelped in excitement hugging Arjun, "Thankyou bhaiya!" And escaped before there could be change of mind.
"Arjun!"
"Sam...janta huh mere faisle se khush nahi hoh...par uske bare mei bhi socho, itne din ghar, cases mei hih ulajke raha hai.... Humhe usse kahi jane pe bhi rokh lagadiya.... Aur waise bhi security jayega uske peeche... Phir rokhne ka matlab nahi!"
"Arjun mei uskeliye hih soch raha huh...tumhara yeh ek chuk, dekhna uske manmani na bhadai tho!" Said Sameer leaving from there.
Later at eveng, Shree went to meet his friends along with Liza, as even her friends were there. Shree and Liza were enjoying with their friends after a long time.
It was almost 2 by the time they reached home, "Liza bahut der hogai...... Agar bhaiya jagrahe toh mera kaan keechenge woh!" He pouted looking at the door.
"Abh sochke kya faida Shree...tumne Arjun sir ki calls nahi utaya aur mujhe bhi nahi uthane diya.... Agar unhe pehle hih batate toh woh gussa nahi karethe shayad...!" She replied as he kept their phones in silent.
"Areh mujhe todi na pata itne late hoga.... Ek kama karo tum Chupchap outhouse chali jao...mei bhi chupke se room mei guss jaunga!" He whispered silently waving hand to her.
Peaking inside he noticed the hall is silent without lights, "Shukar hai bhaiya toh nahi hai!" and entered inside. He silently tiptoed to hai room, entering inside he closed the door swiftly, "Chalo aaj toh bachgaya mei!" He patted his shoulder proudly and turned around but stood shocked looking front, whispered, "Bhaiya!"
Arjun who was waiting for him in his room noticed his actions, got up striding towards him, "Shree time kya horahe pata hai tumhe?"
"Raat ke dho bach rahe...aur tum abh arahe hoh.... Meine sabke khilaf jake tumhe party karne beja aur tum hoki mere baat ki lihas tak nahi kiya...kaha na gyara baje se pehle ajana phir...aur tum toh calls bhi lift nahi karrahe tey!" Arjun chided him.
"Bhaiya...sorry....dyaan hih nahi raha. Itne din ke baad unse mila na toh issliye der hogai!" He replied looking down.
"Jao fresh hoke ajao...." Arjun sighed as its very late. Shree took clothes going into washroom to change and came out.
Arjun handed him medicines, and sat beside caressing his head. Shree leaned placing head on his shoulders, "Sab sogaye kya?"
"Haa.... Kabka so gaye sab.... Mei tumhare liye wait karraha tha!"
"Hmm!"
"Chalo tum bhi sojao......bahut der hogai!" Arjun reminded lifting his head. Shree nodded moving on to bed. Pressing a kiss on his forehead, "Gudnyt Chote!" Arjun moved to his room.
The preparations for engagement were going on full speed, as everything was almost finalised.
The day of engagement came, RR was decorated as a new bride with lights and flowers.
Looking at the arrangements the whole team was stunned. By evening Guests came who are their close family relatives, as they could take chance of exposing themselves.
The girls made Ayesha ready, while Kabir, Shree and Arjun were in Sameer's room. Sameer gazing himself, "Mei theek toh lagraha huh na!"
"Fifty three!" Shree mumbled, while Sam looked at him, "kya ghin rahe hoh?"
"Yahi ki aap yehi sawal fifty three times puche aur humhne jawab bhi diya....!" Shree replied.
"Chup chote!" Sam chided him.
Arjun and kabir shook their heads, "Sam...chinta mat karo...tum bahut handsome lag rahe hoh aur Ayesha tumhe dekhe bilkul flat honewali!"
The four moved down, while Sakshi and Liza brought Ayesha down. Seeing her Sameer stared her, as she is looking beautiful in pink and green lehengha....which is matched with his sherwani.
Feeling his gaze, a blush appeared on her cheeks, looked down. "Bhabhi, bhai ki nazar hih nahi hath raha aapse!" Sakshi teased making her blush deep in red.
Here, Shree looking at him, "bhai muh bandh kijiye warna, makhi guss jayega!" he teased smriking at him ignoring the glare.
"Chalo.... Arjun shuru kijiye!"
Arjun taking the Mike, "Gudevng everyone...Thanks for gracing this wonderful evening with your presence."
"Iss parivaar ka bada beta, ACP Sameer Rathod, jinhe kaam ke alawa kuch mayne nahi......aaj woh kisi aur ko apne jeevan sathi banane jaa rahe... Jisse pyaar ka nyaata dur durse nahi, woh aaj pyaar mei dubhgaye...aur issab ka shrey keval ek insaan ko jata hai...woh hai humhari honewali bhabhi, Inspector Ayesha Kapoor joh humhare Rathod saab ki dil ko giraftar karchuki hai." Making everyone laugh with his statement.
"Thankyou Ayesha, mere bhai ki zindagi mei anekeliye! And I pray that your love would grow and bring happiness in your lives!" Arjun said smiling at them, who returned it.
"Aur naye jode keliye iss ghar se ek chotasa suprise!" Arjun smiled.
The lights were off and focus was kept on Sakshi who stood facing her back to them. The music started, as she matched the steps perfectly. Kabir, Arjun and Shree joined her from three sides, which shocked them as Arjun would not dance normally. The four matched the steps on ishq salam.
Everyone enjoyed looking at their performance, Shree being the naughty went to Sayesha and pulled them on the floor, making them dance.
The other team members joined rounding around the new couple who stood in the middle. Between full fun and enthusiasm both exchanged the rings and took elders blessings.
Arjun noticing everyone were busy, dragged sakshi without anyone notice and took her to terrace. "Arjun yeh kya...yaha kyu laye hoh?"
"Khudne keliye!" Arjun replied sarcastically, bringing a frown on her face.
"Arjun!"
"Aur nahi toh kya Jaan....sabse dur ane ke matlab kya hai.... Tumhse akele mei wakht bitane keliye na!" Arjun whined turning his face away from her.
Listening to him, She shook her head as he became upset with her, stood before him, "Acha baba Sorry..... Maaf kardo apne Jaan ko!" She held her ears cutely giving puppy eyes, which melted him instantly as he was only playing with her.
Removing her hands, he cupped her face between his palms,"Jaan....aaj bahut sunder lagrahi hoh...I love you!" and pecked on her cheek making her close eyes.
He lowered his right hand on to her waist, encirling pulled her close to his body, her chest collided with his. "Arjun....." She moaned as his breath fell on her nape making her shiver.
"Jaan.... Aaj mei bahut khush huh, Sameer ko Ayesha se achi jeevansathi kabhi nahi milega!" He replied staring at her, "Thank you Jaan...kyunki agar tum nahi hoti toh abhitak Sameer apne feelings bayan nahi karthe..."
"Arjun... Woh mere bhai hai.... Unkeliye joh bhi karungi woh mera pyaar aur farz hai! Yeh ghar aur ghar ke log hih mera sabkuch hai!"
"Agar sab khush rahenge toh mei bhi khush rahungi na...!" She replied, seeing her selfless love towards him and family, his love only increased, "Issliye mei tumse bahut pyaar kartha huh Jaan.... Khudse bhi pehle parivaar ke baare mei sochte hoh!" He whispered kissing her forehead.
While these two were spending quality time, down the happy time changed into tense as Sameer got a threat call, listening to which his blood boiled.
"Sameer beta kya hua? Kiska call tha!" Rajveer asked going towards his son.
"Dad baat karne ki wakt nahi...humhe jana hoga....Team ETF office jaldi!" He ordered them.
The team nodded, moving out even not caring to change their clothes..... "bhai....Arjun bhaiya aur sakshi!" Shree reminded them.
"Shree....undono ko Inform karo aur saath mei office ajana...hum nikal rahe!" Sameer replied moving out.
Shree searched for them and went towards the terrace as it's the only place he didn't search.... Noticing them both spending time he hesitated but called them breaking their concentration, "Bhaiya!"
Arjun and Sakshi moved making a distance and looked at shree akwardly, but observing his face both moved towards him, "Chote...kya hua aap itna kyu haaf rahe!"
"Bhaiya.... Sambhai ko ek call aya uskebaad bhai bahut gussa hogai aur sabko office ane bole....humhe bhi jana hoga!" He informed in one breath.
"Acha theek hai hum nikhalthe pehle aap snaas tho lijiye!" Arjun rubbed his back comforting him as his breath was becoming irregular due to running.
When he was fine, the trio started for office as even they are tensed. Reaching office, "Sameer kya hua?" arjun asked firmly.
"Arjun.... Serious threat call hai, mumbai is under threat! Kal bahut bada hone wala hai...isse pehle iss seher par kuch kheher aye humhe usse rokhna hoga!" Sameer replied giving orders to everyone.
"Chotu sare informers ko activate karo....koi bhi suspicious lage usse hirasat mei lene ko bola.... koi chuk nahi hone chahiye!" Arjun ordered immediately.
"Riya, Tum aur Ayesha.... Dono kuch information nikhalne try karo!"
"Sakshi!"
"Mei apne khabron se baat kartha huh Arjun, woh humhari help karenghe aur yeh baat media tak nahi paunche yeh meri zimmedari hai!" She assured moving from there.
All were continuously searching for some clue, but they couldn't and the entire office was on high alert.
Arjun sighed watching his team working without any break, it was almost next day ...When Chotu got a information, and showed the sketch to Shree..."Chotu agar kal dekha toh khabar aaj kyu mile?"
"Pata haina raat se kitne kaam karrahe hum ek clue keliye!"
"Haa shree lekin mere informer pucca karke abh bataya..." Chotu replied.
"Chal...Sir ko dhikate!" Shree said and both moved towards the conference hall and handed the paper to Sameer. Looking at it, Sam stood in shock, "Masterji!"
"Sam tum jante hoh?"
"Haa.... Sab isse Masterji kehte hai...bomb expert hai!" Sam informed shocking them, "Chotu tumhe pucca yakin hai tumhare informer issi ko dekha hai!"
Chotu nodded confirming him, "Get ready guys, Our city and people are on threat!" Sam ordered them.
"Chotu humhe waha lejao jaha isse akhribaar dekha hai!" Said sam taking his gun.
While going Arjun stopped Shree, "Tum office mei rukho...aur humhe har pal ki khabar dho..."
Shree was about to protest, bur Arjun gave a stern glare, "Baat tumhari aur meri nahi Shree.... Saikado masum jaan ki baat hai. Tumhari expertise ki jarurat padegi humhe...issliye yahi Rukho!" Arjun convinced him.
They reached a slum type area, where few people formed a crowd along with few local police. The local police saluting them, "Sir... Jabse khabar mili humne nazar rakha hua hai, na koi ander gaya, ya na koi bahar aya!"
"Iss khopde ki mallik se mile hoh?" Sam questioned.
Police called the owner who explained the layout. "Team we need to spread out, Ayesha, chotu aur Riya samne se ander jayenge...theek dho minute baad mei, Rawte aur Sakshi, peeche se andar ayenge! Set the timer guys!" Sam ordered.
According to plan they surrounded and moved inside....but it was empty, The police coming inside, "Meine kaha na sir... Koi nahi hai ander.... Humhe informers ki baat hih nahi mana hai ..kuch bhi kahenge attention pane!"
"Mere informer aise nahi hai sir!" Chotu interferred, Sam nodded, "Safai ki jarurat nahi chotu... Humsab jante hai!"
"Aur kisne kaha yaha koi nahi tha!" Arjun said picking up the nails which were on ground.
"Cardboards ko dakne keliye hoga sir!"
"Chote keel cardboards close karne keliye hoga par inn bade kheel ko yaha milna koi itefaak nahi!"
"Innko pissa hua ammonium nitrate se milake bomb ki tyaar ki jaa sakthe hai!" Arjun enlightened them.
Sam moving saw a powdering machine, "woh powder yaha pissa jaa raha tha!"
At the sametime Ayesha brought few timers in which every clock has pointed at six. "Time bomb!"
"Haa... Bomb subah ki che baje yaa shyaam ke che baje patsaktha hai ...agar shyaam ki che baje hai toh humhare paas wakt bahut kaam hai!" Arjun intimated them.
"Iskamatlab humhe joh karna hai iss ek ghante mei karna hoga... Team hum dho teams mei banthe ke kaam karthe hai!"Sameer replied.
"Mei, Ayesha aur Riya hum teenon iss Raju se milke kuch information nikalthe hai ..Arjun tum chotu aur sakshi ke saath waha jao jaha iss masterji ko akhir baar dekha hai!" Saying Sam left the area.
Arjun looked around the surrounding, after gaining information from one boy, they moved to interrogate the taxi driver who drove masterji.
Arjunn along with Sakshi and Chotu asked him few questions. "Batayiye aapne uss insaan ko kaha choda aur woh kuch phone call pe baat karrahe kya?"
"Haa saab.... Kuch atarah kehrahe tey phone mei isse jyada kuch nahi!" The driver replied. They tried to decode the meaning, Arjun stood on the connection bridge when Sam voice came through, "Arjun....Agar unn atank wadion ko pakadna hai humhe bhi civilian bana hoga, guns dekhe logon mei panic machsakthe!"
"Aapne weapons chupalo sab!" As soon as he said Arjun removed his gun from back and hide in his sock covering it.
"Sam kuch pata chala?"
"Nahi Arjun, itna pata hai ki woh kuch Best ko udana chahte!" Sam informed, "Sab jagah nazar rakho Arjun, agar bomb pata tho seher mei deishaad machegi!"
"Chotu binoculars!" Arjun forwarded his hand and took them. He concentrated on searching a small clue, noticing the bus depot he widened his eyes, immediately ran followed by other two.
Noticing the bus incharger he asked, "BST, Bus 18 kaha pe hai?"
"Woh toh abhi nikla hai..."
"Kab?"
"Abhi apke ane se panch minute pehle, iss samai woh fruit market ke paas wale bus stop pe rukhi hogi, par kyu sir?" But not replying Arjun connected to sam, "Sam... Koi best ko nahi par, bomb mumbai ke BST bus travels no 18 mei hai! Joh abhi station se nikli hai ..mei peecha karrahuh tum bhi wahi milo!"
Listening to him, "Shree.... Mujhe BST bus 18 ki route map chahiye, abhi!" Sam ordered him.
Shree immediately took out the route map, "Sir...BST bus 18, bus station se anderi tak aur wapas anderi se bus station tak....beeche mei sari stops pe rukhti hai. Station se sade panch ko ek nikalti aur theek panch minute ke ander anderi se ek aur bus wapas ane keliye nikalti hai!"
"Damnit....Humhe kaisa pata hoga bomb anderi se station ane wale bus mei hai ya station se anderi jane wali bus mei hai!" Sameer slammed the steering.
"Sameer please, aap stress mat lijiye!" Ayesha confronted him.
They stopped a bus, as Ayesha punctured the tire, Sam going inside, "Tire puncture huye aur tumhara dyaan ki nahi....sab bahar niklo!"
All passengers were coming off the bus, when Arjun came out stopping the car. He was checking for the person who had access to the bomb, saw a person in black shirt taking with someone.
The person seeing Arjun mumured bomb scaring everyone who panicked and started pushing eachother to come out. Sam helping others looked at Arjun who was about to enter inside, "Arjun!" Sakshi was also about to climb but Sam stopped catching her hand firmly.
Arjun climbed the bus and started searching for the bomb. Noticing a box he pulled it out and saw the bomb inside it, while the person hid behind the seats.
Looking at the bomb, he called Shree.... "Shree, Kounsa wire katne se bomb deactive hoga!"
"Bhai...bina dekhe yeh kehna mushkil hoga!" Shree mumbled with fear.
"Shree wakth nahi humhare paas, bomb squad ane tak...!" Arjun yelled with frustation
"Bhai ek kaam kijiye aap mujhe ek ek wire dhikaiye!" Shree trembled as his brothers life is at risk.
Arjun on his video showing the bomb, looking at it, "Bhai issmei se keval ek wire hai joh bomb ko deactivate karsakthe, aur ek wire joh bomb ko activate karegi! Baki sab bas uljane keliye bees taar lagaya woh log!"
"Shree...ye?" Arjun asked him, but got negative response! Both were fully tensed along with others.
Outside Sakshi tried to go inside but Sam held her in firm grip, "Bhai...mujhe ander jane dijiye!"
"Choti bilkul nahi, Arjun tumhe bomb ke aas paas nahi dekhna chahte hai...aur usse kuch nahi hoga!" He conviced her but it was getting difficult to handle her.
Hear inside only two wires were left, "Bhai.... Please usse chodiye...agar galat wire kata toh bomb blast hoga!" Shree pleaded but Arjun gave a deaf ear, while the goon who hid stood before pointing gun at Arjun, "Your game is over!"
But before he could do something, a gunshot was heard and the goon fell down. Arjun looked at Ayesha in suprise, hearing the sound Sameer handed Sakshi to Riya, "Sambhalo isse!" and entered inside.
Noticing Ayesha he caught her hand pulling back, "Ayesha out!"
"Sameer...Arjun!" Ayesha tried to move but Sam just glared at her, "Ayesha I said move...it's an order!"
Sam looked at Arjun and the bomb.....Arjun got an idea, "Shree...agar dono wires ko ek saath cut kare toh bomb difffuse hone ki chances hai kya?"
"Haa bhaiya!" Shree mumbled nervously.
Samjun stared at eachother and kept the cutter at both the wires simultaneously and cut them at a time, which stopped the timer.
Shree sighed in relief, falling on his knees, Liza who was beside squeezed his shoulder gently, "Shree!" nodding at him.
Samjun got down along with a child who entered inside, handing the child Arjun turned around, startled suddenly taking a step back, as a body slammed against him, balancing he encircled his arms around her, "Jaan! I am fine!" He whispered near her ear gently caressing her back.
Even Ayesha hugged Sam, "Sameer mei bahut dar gai!"
Caressing her hair, "I am fine Ayesha!" He assured her.
"Shree....hum theek hai!" Sam assured throught intercom, "Joh mobile humhe mila usse hum apne phone se connect karrahe, trace karo woh insaan kise baat karrahe aur kaha hai iss wakt!"
Shree immediately got to work, keeping his emotions at bay...."Sir .... Do numbers ko call gaye....ek to anderi mei rukha todider...aur dusra no ek hih line pe travel horrahe!"
"Aisa hai toh woh train mei hai!" Arjun said immediately.
"Arjun tum station ke aas paas area ko search karo...hum station jate hai.... Time bahut kaam hai!" Sam ordered.
The two teams moved seperately, their heart beat increasing every second. Ayesha, Riya and Sameer searched for Masterji with help of Shree's instructions on other side Arjun reached the place which is fully packed with people.
"Sakshi...chotu, search karo...!" Arjun ordered and moved forward. He halted at one place, Best bakery... Looking around, "Yaha bhi Best...! Pehle BST bus aur abh yeh!"
He scrutinized it and saw a fruit box carboard, immediately took it out and saw other person taking other box by cycle but caught him and took over the box. Opening them he saw two bombs which are about to blast. Even Sakshi and Choti came there.
"ARJUN!"
Gazing at her, he nodded in no, "Shree bomb milgaye... lekin diffuse hone ke time nahi...yaha paas wale nadi mei phekne jaa raha huh, sabse dur!"
"Bhaiya...aap aisa nahi karenge... please... keval dho minute hai, bomb kisi bhi shan blast hosakthe!" Shree pleaded through, but Arjun packed the bombs in bag, Arjun looking at Sakshi, "Vishwas rakho apne Arjun par....kuch nahi hoga!" He assured climbing on bike "Chotu.... Sakshi ki dyaan rakho!" and zoomed from there.
On other hand Sameer nabbed Masterji, holding his collar he gave a huge punch. All were tensed for Arjun, while Arjun drove in top speed, reaching the lake side he ran with quick speed, and threw the bag at last second.
As soon as he threw the bomb blasted in the air making a huge noise. All halted catching their breaths, "Arjun sir kuch nahi hua hoga!" Ayesha said, Sam leaned on to the bus taking a deep breath, "Nahi....Lekin agar woh nahi hote toh aaj bahut kuch hota...iss Diwali pe!"
Chotu and Sakshi who were following Arjun, reached the spot first, before chotu could pull the break completely Sakshi got down and ran towards Arjun, hugged him tightly, tears flowing down. Arjun embraced her with one hand, "Jaan...I am fine, Sab dekh rahe!" He whispered caressing her back. Nodding she came out of the hug and stood beside him, while Chotu also hugged him, "Sir...aap theek hoh!"
"Haa chotu I am fine!" Arjun assured him. "Sam!"
"Arjun...ghar pe milte hai!"
"Shree?" Arjun called him out but there was no response from other side, which brought a frown on their faces, "Chote?" Arjun again called but there was no reply. Arjun immediately called on his phone, but no one was lifting the call, at the last ring call was connected, without hearing other voice, "Chote... Kabse bhul raha tha!" Arjun yelled, but frowned when Liza voice came through, "Sir...mei Liza!"
"Liza Shree ke phone tumhare paas...woh kaha hai?" Arjun fired on her.
"Sir... woh Shree... Washroom mei hai!" Liza replied in low voice, "aap theek haina sir?"
"Haa Liza mei theek huh...shree bahar athe hih mujhe call karne bolo...aur tumdono bhi mansion keliye niklo, Shambhu tumhara wait karrahe neeche!" Arjun informed and cut the call.
As chotu was driving Arakshi sat at the backseat, "Arjun...woh ro raha hoga! Issliye apke call lift nahi kiya!" Sakshi informed silently. He nodded closing his eyes, "Mei sambhalthu huh....!"
They all reached home at a time, Sam Coming out took Arjun into a hug as he was very afraid.... "Shukar hai tu sahi salamat hai!"
All moved inside, admist assuring and consoling Arjun moved from there, sighing at Kabir to follow.
Once they were in the room, "kaha lagi chot?" Kabir asked, while Arjun raised his eyebrow, "Tujhe kaisa pata?"
"Arjun...itna toh janta huh mei....bata kaha lagi!" Kabir replied.
Resting on the bed, "Shoulder pe...shayad bomb pehenke ke samai muscle pull hua hoga!" Arjun whispered in painful voice as he was suppressing pain from that time before others.
Nodding Kabir helped him to remove his shirt gently and pressed on the shoulder, "You are right Arjun! Muscle pull hai!" Kabir confirmed. "Pain keliye dawa deta huh... ! Tumhe aram milega!" Arjun nodded...."Chote kaha hai?" Kabir asked suddenly, "Athe honghe!"
As soon as he said Shree entred inside, looking at his brother, "Bhaiya!"
