Part 15
Entire day, gone through without any leads.
Rathore flaring up on his team members and to add more fuel Arjun doing the same. His team ready to strangle their seniors even though they respect them. They are trying their hard to find a lead, but nothing is making sense or is someone miss leading them.
Sakashi excuse herself.
Arjun's eye caught her.
He just left conference room and tag behind Sakashi. He caught her wrist "where are you going?" Sakashi got startled.
Sakashi: Aap?
Arjun let go off her hand and take her inside his cabin. He hate anyone eye on them and its his personal matters. His dislike of additional gossip to his list.
Inside the cabin
Arjun made Sakashi sit on the sofa "are you alright" he gave her glass of water. Sakashi confuse by his acts.
Sakashi: what would happen to me? I am fine, Arjun?
Arjun: Nothing. You just sit and relax. I'll just be back soon.
Arjun st: Virat is right. She's trying to prove she's okay, but I know she isn't. I don't want her to take any stress on her shoulders.
Arjun left behind confuse Sakashi inside his cabin..
Sakashi st: What's wrong with Arjun? Why is he acting strange? Gosh! If he keep on surprising me like that than for sure I'll go crazy. Mahi forget him. Let's focus on the case.
Sakashi spot Arjun's laptop. She goes toward Arjun's laptop. She switch on his laptop, but password access halts her.
3hr later
Arjun observing the facts and discussion happening between his teams. He heard his wife's voice "because the facts we have gathered his highly wrong information. It was only to mislead us. While I was going through some old articles on similar case and I can't through interesting facts. I thought it might give use some starting point" Arjun and Rathore took those articles from Sakashi. Sakashi sat down beside Aisha.
Aisha lean near Sakashi's ear "trying to impress your hubby, my dear" Sakashi give Aisha glare displaying her frustration "shut up, Aisha" "What's so funny, girls?" Sakashi and Aisha stare at Arjun and Rathore.
Aisha: Nothing Sir
Arjun glare at them.
Sakashi st: Babaji, he's always confusing me. I can't handle it anymore. I should question him (she look at Arjun twirling his pen) if he's feeling alright.
Aisha nudge Sakashi "uh" Aisha whisper "Rathore Sir, asked you question" Sakashi stare at Rathore who explain his question again. Sakashi answer his question.
Arjun explain further strategy in exploiting the plan in action. Its settle Arjun and Sakashi would go down to the mall and shop to collect information.
3hrs later
Arjun sat on the bed.
Sakashi came out of the washroom.
She place her towel aside to dry and combing her hair. She notice a gift. She look at Arjun, but he was reading a file.
Sakashi open the gift and found mangalsutra with match set of earrings.
She look at Arjun with moist eyes.
Sakashi remember how her mangalsutra got broken by some old women who trashed her character after Arjun left her on their wedding night.
25min later
Arjun notice Sakashi holding his gift.
He saw tears streaming down her face. He tap her shoulder "what's wrong" Sakashi jerk out of her haunted past.
Arjun: Are you alright? You didn't like the gift I got?
Sakashi stare at Arjun tearful and hugged him tightly "its the best gift I got after loosing my mangalsutra" Arjun got confuse (wondering how could Sakashi loose it) but the blast could be the reason he thought.
Sakashi free herself from the hug and look at Arjun.
Arjun might be weak in understanding relation after loosing Roshini, but he can never fail to understand anyone's eyes. He tries many time to read her eyes, but she mask them cleverly and today he can see tiny hope.
He understood her wish and made her turn around. He himself move her hair aside and took the mangalsutra from her.
Sakashi stare at him through mirror reflection.
Arjun slowly moving the mangalsutra near her neck and Sakashi close her eyes forever to capture the moment inside her heart.
Arjun complete his task of clasping the mangalsutra around Sakashi's neck. He look at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes are closed, but he can sense tiny smile on her face. He lean closer to her ear and whisper "its looking beautiful on your neck" Sakashi open her eyes and look at her reflection. She tries to find Arjun, but he wasn't beside her anymore.
4 in the morning,
Sakashi woke up middle of the night.
Her stomach began to hurt.
She look at her right side, Arjun sleeping peacefully without any trouble reflecting on his skin. Rathore once told her that Arjun would hardly go home before her arrival and now its different. She didn't have the heart to wake him up and left toward the washroom.
25min later
Sakashi came out of the washroom wiping her face. She stood looking out the window thinking to herself "life is so unpredictable. One point Arjun didn't want to stay with her after their marriage five years ago and now he is taking care of her as if she's apart of him, but her past keeps certain distance between them" she sigh and sat down on the sofa.
6 in the morning,
Arjun ring tone woke up him and Sakashi.
Arjun sleepy tone "haan Rathore we'll be there" he hang up and look at Sakashi sitting on the sofa. He wanted to question her, but at the moment case matter "Rathore ka phone came and we have to reach ETF soon. Get ready, I'll order breakfast" Sakashi nod her head and left inside the washroom.
Arjun order only fruit salad and sandwich for them.
12min later
Sakashi came out and Arjun went inside the washroom.
She does her final touch and wore nice churidar (its pink and green).
She smile at the choice of breakfast Arjun order. She serve two plates with fruit salad and one silence of sandwich on one plate and another plate.
Arjun came out. He stare at Sakashi wearing churidar instead of her normal clothes. He wanted to question her, but looking at her smile he couldn't break her heart.
He ate his breakfast while staring at Sakashi who ate her breakfast too afterwards they left toward work.
7:30am
Rathore explaining his team about another murder happening in same mall. Arjun sipping his cutting chai.
Sakashi kept on staring at something.
Virat and Aisha whispering silently toward themselves.
Suddenly, both of them jerk up hearing Sakashi's voice "Sof" she close her eyes "Virat, can you please give me your phone?"
Virat pass his phone to Sakashi.
Sakashi quickly going through his contact and click "D". She wait silently for someone to pick up "Devil" she shouted "how long does it take you to pick up the phone" she burst onto him.
Devil: Sorry, I am enjoying my blissful night.
Sakashi: uh! Very bad. Now put on some boxers and pair of trouser after you are done doing that than go into my room and turn on my laptop.
Devil does has he told. He withdraw himself out of Elena's arms and put on his boxer and trouser. He go inside Sakashi's room.
He turn on her laptop, but password halts him "Tweety, need your log in password" hearing Devil froze her.
She has tiny clasp of her past. She remember herself sitting between a person's leg and they both are discussing about something and in-between she shouts "agar tum mera pyaar ho to woh hogi meri yeh hoga mera Saras ye Dishika" both of them hugging and laughing their heads.
Voice snap Sakashi out of her thoughts "sorry. You wanted the password right. The password is capital S than rest lower case arashika"
Devil: Got access. Now tell me what's my next instruction.
Sakashi explain him everything step by step "now just email me those documents and stop asking too many questions. Secondly, don't you dare click into any other documents or pictures. Its personal and I know you'll respective it" Devil agreed to her and disconnect the phone.
Virat: What you need so badly that you called Devil? You know he had plan this night for long time and you had to put speed break.
Sakashi: Woh kya haina. Ye meri or Devil ki baat hai. Thanks for letting me use your phone.
Virat took his phone and saw message from Manu. He read it quickly "Manu ka message" Sakashi poke her head into his business.
Virat: Haan and if you excuse me (Sakashi's eyes wide up) its personal.
Sakashi: She's my sister
Virat: I know, but I have some rights on her. She's my girlfriend.
Sakashi: Hogi tumhari girlfriend, but only without my permission you can't meet her. Sorry dear, but now without any official engagement you ain't taking my sister out anywhere. Understood otherwise Jiju ko
Virat: Alright meri maa. You win
Sakashi: That's better. Now give me your laptop cause I need to check my email. Devil ka message. Its important.
Virat log into his laptop and gave it too Sakashi.
Rathore and Arjun glare at them. They wanted to blast them for bringing out their personal matters in work time.
Sakashi quickly checking her email than doing some cross editing with some proof they have "what's wrong" Aisha asked her.
Sakashi sigh
Sakashi: I am just stun, why didn't I thought of this before?
Aisha: Meaning.
Sakashi: Let me explain. Couple of years ago, in London there was shoot out in shopping mall. Remember Virat one time we went out for movie with our friends than out of my begging and Elena we went to shopping mall.
Virat: Yeah I remember. What about that day?
Sakashi sigh
Sakashi: Actually, I've hidden something from you and Devil and Jeremy. Now let me explain. At that time I was scared. Anyways, the fact is that when I was changing in fitting booth I witness a murder after I was done.
Virat: What the F? Why didn't you tell me? Gosh! How can you be so responsible?
Sakashi huffing in anger "this is the reason" Virat stare at her while the rest watching some television show, but Arjun trying to clam his anger down. Its hasn't been great start of the morning for him "your reaction and if I told you than the rest would have came to know afterwards Di's daily soap reactions. I wasn't thinking properly anyways that isn't the matter. Remember our English class we had to write a assignment and I decide to write on the murder I had seen"
Rathore: What does it have related with our case?
Sakashi: Simple Sir. It might be some drug racket. Just look at the article I've written cause its sort of similar to facts you were just sharing with us.
Sakashi: Shree, can you hook Virat's laptop on the projector?
Shree: Sure.
15min later
Sakashi show them the article she wrote and the facts Rathore Sir gave them match slightly with the facts.
Arjun stood up "Rathore, change of plan. Now I ain't going shopping with Sakashi anymore, but she'll go alone" Sakashi stare at him with big eye.
Arjun explain his team of his plan.
Sakashi gulp down her fear while Virat whisper in her ear "are you happy inviting problems into your life" Sakashi growl at him.
Virat wanting to laugh, but his words left painful memory in her mind. She excuse herself and left the conference room.
