Sikander threw the paper on the tipoi and screamed at his men

"kisne kiya hai ye kaam...BOLO KISNE KIYA HAI??? HUM YAHAN USSE TAPKANE KELIYE TAB SE BAITHE HAI AUR YE KOI NAYA CHICHUNDER USSE MAARTA HAI"

"bhaijaan, pata nahin kaun tha... magar maan na padega ki koi bhi ho bohut tez hai banda. Chandni chowk mein keshav ko maarna wo bhi uss tareeke se?? mein rehman se baat karta hun."

"pooch pooch usse ki wo kaun hai.. wo humare bade kaam aa sakta hai"

"ji bhaijaan"

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

Another place in delhi:

A small dingy house made of sheets in sub urb. A cot in the corner of the room, three chairs and a television. Two doors in an end which lead to kitchen and toilets.

"aap ye sab kyun kar rahe ho saab?? Aapki jaan ko khatra ho sakta hai"

"rehman, main jaanta hun. Magar mujhe meri parwah nahin hai. Ye mera farz hai ki mein logon ko bachau aur uske liye mujhe jo karna pade wo mein karoonga. Samjhe ya...samjhau?"

"ji saab... ab wo log kabhi bhi aa sakte hai yahan. Aap taiyaar raho saab"

"haan."

There was sudden knock on the door and the two exchanged glances. Arjun quickly lay down on the cot, pretending to be asleep.

Rehman opened the door and saw abdul

"arre abdul bhai. Salam alaikum...aao aao..."

"alai ku assalam.. koi hai kya ghar pe..?"

"nahin. Sirf main aur aaqif hai... baitho. Chai loge ya thanda"

"dilli ki garmi mein chai? Na. thanda sharbat dede.."

Arjun slowly got up from the cot and sat yawning loudly. He could not be recognized by anyone... his usual stubble was much more grown and so was his hair. His voice was bit hoarse.

"rehman bhai... humare liye ek cup chai hojaye to maja aajata..."

"abhi laaya aaqif bhai.. bas do minat"

Aaqif turned to abdul and said

"salaam. aap kaun?"

"ye sawal to mujhe poochna chahiye janaab... aap kaun?"

At the same time rehman made his way out off kitchen carrying sharbat and chai

"abdul bhai ye aaqif hai. Punjab se hai. Mere acche dost hai ye"

He handed over chai and sharbat and sat on a chair.

"ab bataiye kaise aana hua?"

"kuch nahin rehman. Wo bus sikander bhaijaan ne bheja hai hume. Wo keshav ko maarne wale ke baare mein pata lagane..."

"aap sahi jagah aaye ho miyan... wo koi aur nahin aaqif tha jisne usse maara tha"

"ye... isko dekh ke lagta nahin hai ki ye uss keshav ko maar sakta hai"

Aaqif pulled his gun and pushed it into abdul's mouth

"usse haramzade ka naam mat lo apne zuban pe. Warna main bhul jaaunga ki tum rehman bhai ke kuch lagte ho"

"kyun maara usse tune?"

"kyun batau tujhe? Kya karega tu agar na batau to?"

"aaqif bhai shant ho jao. Main abdul se baat karta hoon...

Dekho abdul bhai. Aaqif wahan Punjab mein tha. Magar ye keshav aur uske aadmi uske poore khandaan ko ujaad daala. Iske ammi-abbu ko maar daala aur uski behan ka...uska kya hua kisi ko nahin maloom. Ye baat wahin daba di gayi thi. Isiliye ye badla lene aaya tha yahan pe...aur kuch nahin"

"dekho. Agar tum chaho to humare saath kaam kar sakte ho. Sikander bhaijaan ke neeche..."

"sikander?? Ye kaun hai??"

"aaqif tum sikander bhaijaan ko nahin jaante??!! Hairani ki baat hai.. punjab mein to unka itna naam hai. Jehad ke liye jaane jaate hai wo. Humare mulk mein ye jo bhi chal raha hai na, ye kya kehte hai? Hann carrapsun, baki netaon ke kale kartoot, unse logon ko azad karane ke liye aaye hai wo. Humara maseeha... humare liye bhagwan hai wo... logon ki bhalayi ke liye kaam karte hai"

Aaqif aka Arjun made a mental note on the image sikander had created about himself in his followers mind. It was not surprising for him as he had expected some what similar thing about him.

Abdul continued without bothering about anything

"wo kya hai na, iss mulk ki sarkar unhe bura bata ti hai. Magar hai to wo bohut hi nek."

"maine suna hai ki wo ladkiyon ko uthwate hai??" aaqif slowly asked him

"nahin nahin aaqif miyan... uthate nahin hai. Aurat to hoti hi mard ki gulami karne ke liye. Aurat ko paron ki jooti ke neeche dabakar rakhna chahiye. Wohin hum karte hai. Wo ladkiyan hum mardon ki har tarah se seva karti hai. Har ek mumkin tareeke se. badle mein uss ladki ke ammi-abbu ko bhi to tofe milte hai?? Bhaiijaan kabhi bhi ladki ke gharwaalon pe museebat aane nahin dete hai haan...paison ki barsaat hoti hai haan..."

arjun was very angry.they thought this low about women??? he wanted to puke out everything in his stomach. but work...for that he controlled himself

Arjun ate a pan which was made by rehman and spoke between bites

"waah rehman bhai.. kya paan hai. Maza aagaya... rehman bhai mujhe lagta hai ki mujhe uss sikander se milna chahiye. Kya hai mujhe ab waapas Punjab mein koi kaam nahin hai. Kya pata yahan ek zindagi bas jaaye?? Aap kya kehte ho?"

"aaqif bhai soch to nek hai. Kyun abdul bhai? Leke chaloge?"

"zaroor zaroor. Hum yahan aaye hi iske liye hai. Sikander bhaijaan bohut khush honge iss janab ko dekh ke..."

"Rathod sir, kahin arjun sir ki jaan ko koi khatra to nahin hai na?"

Aisha was the only one who had got to know about the details of arjun's undercover mission. She was worried for him as well as for sameer. she had seen how sameer and Arjun were inseparable. All she wished was safe return of Arjun from the mission.

"khatra to hai Aisha. Par wo Arjun hai. I just hope that he says safe. He has already killed keshav, that too in public. Zaahir si baat hai ki uske aadmi Arjun ke peeche honge..."

"sir par roshni?does she know about the mission?"

"I have just briefed her about the developments Aisha. I can't hide this big thing from her..."

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

"bhaijaan, ye aaqif hai. Rehman ke pehchaan ka hai. Issi ne us keshav ko udaaya hai" abdul finished his words and pointed to Arjun who stood there nonchalant.

Sikander lifted his gaze from the English magazine he was reading and faced Arjun.

"aaqif...accha naam hai.. kyun maara ussse?" he asked in cruelest voice he could muster so to scare the person infront of him.

"maarne ka bhoot sawar tha. So maar diya maine. Kyun?? Kaho to tujhe bhi uda dun kya?" aaqif said with a smirk.

"AAEE...SAALE...BHAIJAAN KO MARNE KI BAAT KARTA HAI TU...TERI TO..."abdul lept forward and held aaqif's color.

"abe chod... rehman bhai ke pehchan ke ho to chup hun warna... aur tu kya bolraha tha nke baare mein?? Yahan to ye English magazine pakadke baithe hai...ye jya bhala karenge humara?" he released himself from his grip and threw a weary glance to sikander.

Sikander got up from his seat and clapped.

"waah. Maan na padega. Himmat ki daat deni padegi teri. And yes. I am fully educated and I can very well converse in English. So can we come to the point aaqif?"

"yes sure. I had expected an illirate person in your place sikander miyan but I am surprised,on the otherhand, I think I should not be right??!!!."

"arre waah...aap aur English?!!! Kya baat hai? Ab seedhe seedhe batao ki kyun maara usse?why did you kill him? what had he done to you?"

"was he a friend of yours? If not just chill that he is dead. why do you bother about the reason for his death?!!huh?? He destroyed my family and I killed him. tit for tat. Simple."

"why are you here? You seem educated, sharp witted and an absolutely superb shooter... iss duniya mein kyuun aaye ho?"

"educated from London, trained to be a police officer but was never recruited. No money, so no job. Punjab waapas aaya tha kheti sambhalne. Magar ussne meri zindagi barbad kardi. Iss desh ki sarkar ne pehle jeena mushkil kiya hai, phir wo keshav."

Aaqif gritted his teeth. "Isiliye mujhe badla chahiye. Har uss shaqs se jo isski wajah hai."

He looked straight into sikander's eyes.

"accha hai. Kya tu hamare saath kaam karega? Paise milenge. Mauj bhi. Kaam khatarnaak hoga... your life will be at stake. Kya kehte ho?"

"mujhe bas kaam chahiye. Aur kuch nahin. Rahi baat jaan ki baazi lagane ki, mujhe meri zindagi ki koi parwah nahin hai. bas kaam karne mein maza aana chahiye"

"Thik hai. We will see your skills and then see what are you in real aaqif miya.. tab tak ke liye khuda haafis." He turned his back to sikander and followed his other men.

He turned to his follower to take them to their room

"kal taiyar rehna miya. Tasks mushkil hi honge"

"khatron se khelna meri aadat aur shauk dono hai. Khuda haafis"

As soon as he was out of the room, abdul started showering him with questions.

"bhaijaan wo aise kaise aapse aise baat kar sakta hai? Aur aap usse kaise humare saath mila sakte ho? Agar koi policewala nikla to?"

"shhh... itna bolke mere kaan kharab mat karo tum samjhe... hum aise hi usse apne saath nahin milane waale. Kal ka intezar karo abdul... kal ka..."

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

Miles away in Mumbai

Next morning.

"bhagwan unke gaye hue itne din hogaye hai. Unki ek phone tak nahin aayi hai. Unki rakhsa karna... unpe koi museebat mat aane dena...main aapse yahin dua karti hun..."

She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around. She saw her brother sameer and hugged him tight

"bhaisa wo theek to honge na?"

"haan roshni...wo theek hoga. Tum daro mat..."

"bhaaisa par"

"aur ha.. maine tai kiya hai iss baar jab wo waapas aayega to main tum donon ko as husband and wife media ke saamne pesh karoonga. Aaj tak uski baaton ko sun kar chup tha, aur tumhari safety ke liye bhi wohin accha tha. Par ab aur nahin..."

"bhaisa..." she hid her face in his chest.

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

Delhi:

"Salaam Aaqif miyan..."

"Salaam sikander bhai.."

"raat ko acche se neend aayi ki nahin aapko?"

"bohut acche se soya main kal raat ko. Shukriya"

"taiyaar ho aapke tests ke liye?"

"ever ready. Lets go"

Arjun strode next to sikander with a gait which shocked every other person present except rehman and sikander.

They went to shooting range and sikander instructed him

"look. I ll give you different ranges and you will shoot. I don't think it is necessary but I want to console my brain that I have chosen the best."

"of course why not sikander bhai."

He went to the range and took the gun, loaded it with bullets and hit the target. Once, twice, thrice, not even once blinking his eyes or flinching when gun recoiled..

Everytime it hit the bull's eye. Not even a single target missed.

"shabhaash.. impressive. Abdul next.moving target laga"

Arjun being a pro hit the target efficiently. this repeated many times for short and long range shooting.

Sikander was already impressed with this man. Even then he called few wrestlers and asked them to knock him down.

Arjun aka aaqif being lean and quick managed to dodge death blows that those wrestlers were using against him, and brought them down.

Sikander stood and clapped.

"waah.. maan gaye. Zubaan to kainchi ki tarah tez hai hi, utni hi kaam mein bhi tez ho. Bomb banana aati hai?"

"no."

"koi baat nahin. Hum sikhadenge tumhe. Ek aakhri kaam hia."

"kya?"

"tumhe apni wafadaari prove karni hogi"

"kya karna hai mujhe?"

"chalo humare saath"

They went to another room where a person was tied and kept.

Arjun saw him and recognized him instantly.

(MV-ye to Shree hai...to iska matlab uss din ye sikander ke haath laga tha... kya haal banaya hai iska...)

"to suno. Ye police ka aadmi hai. Humara koi kaam ka nahin hai. Kamina muh hi nahin khola hai isne. Isse maardo. Phir tum humare saath hamesha ke liye."

"kya kiya hai isne?"

"hum pe nazar rakha tha. Range haatho pakdda gaya. Ab maardo sale ko.."

Arjun lifted his gun and looked straight in the eyes of Shree.

shree saw a similar pair of black eyes boring his eyes... same set of eyes which had glared him at his every mistake, that twinkled when he joked, same eyes that hadd held a brotherly pride...

Realizing it was Arjun Shree blinked his eyes in assurance.

*shot*

Bullet pierced Shree on his chest and blood oozed out. He laid there motionless. Sikander went near him and checked his pulse.

"margaya"

Aaqif(Arjun) turned to abdul and rehman

"iski laash ko door kahin phenkna. Police ka aadmi hai. Yahin kahin dafnane se accha hai unko iske laash ke zariye sandesha bhejo."

"sahi baat hai bhaijaan. Main jaata hun" abdul was on his heels.

"nahn abdul. Tu yahin rahega. Rehman, tum uski laash ko thikane lagaoge aur tum aaqif. Aaj se tum hamare saath ho. Welcome to our team"

"thank you sikander bhai"

Sikander and Arjun hugged each other and Arjun masked his hatred behind a fake smile he had mastered over years.

Sikander and Arjun hugged each other and Arjun masked his hatred behind a fake smile he had mastered over years.

***********

"ab Shree kaisa hai??"

"behtar hai sir... maan na padega aapke officer ko. He had taken a huge risk in this matter. I know ki unke liye ye aasaan nahin raha hoga as I know he considered Shreekant as his younger brother. Aur Shree jab hosh mein aaya tha to mujhse usne kaha ki he had held his breath when they were confirming if he was dead or no. aapke saare officers sachmein jaabaaz hai..."

"agar rehman usse sahi waqt naa laata to..."

sameer's mind went back to the time shree was brought in

*fb*

"saab...saab... jaldi yahan aayiye..."

"kya hua???kahan ho tum?" sameer was tensed at the tone in which rehman was speasking

"saab shreekant baba ko arjun saab ne goli maari hai. aap yahan hosppital ke paas aayiye. main ander nahin jaa sakta"

"main aa raha hun."

within minutes he had reached the hospital and took shree in.

once he was in OT he came out to speak to rehman who narrated entire thing and also about arjun.

"unhe pasand nahin tha saab..par..."

"jaanta hun. ab tum jao"

*fb ends*

"jo hua so hua. ab Shreekant theek hai. Bas thoda kamzori hai...but he ll recover soon...wo to sirf ek baat dohra raha hai ki uske sir sahi salaamat waapas aa jaaye..."

***********

Days rolled by and Arjun as aaqif had made a special place in sikander's heart and team.

Sikander trusted him so much that it had poked eyes of many. He himself taught aaqif making many complex and fierce bombs.

Arjun learnt those and with is own research, he even learnt to deactivate most types of bombs.

Sikander thought that there was need to reward the boy.

He had seen loneliness in his aaqif's eyes.

Least he knew it was because he was away from his loving wife.

**

One late evening sikander called aaqif to his chambers and said

"aaqif...tum mere chote bhai jaise ho. Aur main tumhe udaas nahin dekhna chahta..."

"ji bhaijaan. I know ki aap mere baare mein kya sochte ho aur main iskeliye shukrguzaar hun"

"maine tumhari aankhon mein mayoosi dekhi hai...akelapan. iske rehte tum kaam nahin kar sakte. Issi liye maine tumhare liye kuch khaas intezaam kiya hai."

"kya bhaijaan??"

"husn... husn wo sharrab hai jisme doob kar insaan apni saari pareshaniyon ko bhool jaata hai... ek phool ka intezam kiya hai maine tumhare liye. Laakhon mein ek hai wo. Husn ki mallika... jao...apne kamre mein jao aur aish karo...jab tak mann nab hare tab tak" he winked and giggled.

"ji bhaijaan... shukriya" he smiled sweetly at him but was really feeling sick at his words. How can someone address a woman like sikander did ??

**

He went to the room and locked the room behind him.while doing so, he saw abdul standing in the corner and keeping an eye on him. he turned and saw a beautiful girl, barely 17, stood beside the bed. She saw Arjun approaching her and took a step behind.

"daro mat... meri baat suno mujhse darne ki zaroorat nahin hai"

"aap mere saath wo to nahin karenge na jo uss aadmi ne kiya tha..."

"kiske baare mein baat kar rahi ho tum???"he was confused at her behaviour.

"wo...wo abdul ke jaisa. Wo jab bhi aata hai aur mere saath rehta hai to mujhe bohut dard hota hai.. aap aise to nahin karoge na? mujhe dard nahin doge na???" the girl asked innocently

Arjun clenched his fist tight to control his rising anger. He shuddered at the image of that lil girl being tortured by abdul sexually, abusing her physically and mentally, everyday killing her soul bit by bit.

He opened his eyes and saw her scared of him.

"daro mat. Tum wahan aaraam se baitho.main tumhare saath kuch nahin karunga aur na karna chahta hun. Tumhara naam kya hai?"

"ji...nagma.."

"nagma...kitna pyaara naam hai tumhara..."

"ye mera naam nahin hai. Ye to inhone diya hai mujhe. Mera asli naam to shriya hai..."

"shriya??? Phir ye log... khair wo chodo. Tumhari age kya hai?"

"sixteen..."

"English jaanti ho tum?"

"haan. I studied in English medium till these people kidnapped me 6 months ago... please I beg you don't do anything to me.. please..."

"shhh... I promise you ki main kuch nahin karoonga tumhare saath. Relax"

He played music so that even if anyone would try to listen what was going on behind the locked doors they would not figure out.

"dekho shriya... meri baat dhyaan se suno. tum yahan safe ho, mere saath. main tumhare saath kuch bhi nahin karunga. lekin Agar baahar koi bhi tumse puche ki mere saath...you know what I mean..."

"yes... main keh doongi ki aap bohut acche ho aur humne acha waqt guzaara..." she winked at him making him open his mouth wide.

"don't be shocked. I know you are not like them. You are a good man and not a monster. And mujhe in cheeson ke baare mein pata hai, but i hate it. Arre...sharmayiye mat... main aapke saath kuch nahin karoongi...promise..." she chuckled making him laugh at the last comment.

"ek madad maangu main aapse err...aapka naam?"

"aaqif. Maango na...agar mere bas mein hai to main zaroor karoonga..."

"bas zyada nahin... can you tell them that you want me...i mean ask them not to allow anyone other than yourself to be with me...please...warna wo log..."

"oki.. I ll. Ab rona mat... tum wahan bed pe so jao, main yahan sota hun..."he sat on the chair and rested his feet on the table.

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

It was next afternoon Arjun came out and met sikander.

Sikander waggled his brows at him asking him about last night

"kaisa tha janab jannat ki sair?"

It took every ounce of his self control not to rip the wile creature into strands.

His face turned red and he lowered his face to hide the anger.

"arre sharmao mat... kaisi lagi wo...kya naam tha uska? Haa nagma..."

Arjun faked a shy smile and faced him

"bhaijaan...wo...wo... kal raat to kamal ka guzra...haaye uski ada...uff... agar main kuch maangu to aap mana to nahin karoge?"

"kya chahiye bolo miya... wo aapka samjho..."

"kuch nahin. Mujhe nagma pasand hai. Kya aap usse kisi aur ke paas naa bheje aisa ho sakta hai?? Main nahin chahta ki uske kareeb mere alawa koi aur jaaye..."

"bas itni si baat?? Theek hai. Aaj se nagma sirf tumhari...khush??!!"

"behad khush. Shukhriya bhaijaan..."he hugged sikander and went out for his work.

After sometime abdul went to him and whispered something in his ears.

"Usse laake baandh do..."

"bhaijaan wo..."

"kya???"

"aaj main nagma ke saath rehna chahta hun..."

"nagma??!! Nahin"

"par kyun bhaijaan?"

"kyunki aaqif ne use khud ke liye maanga hai. Aur maine haan kaha hai... ab tu apne liye bakiyon mein kisi aur ko dhoond. Aur ha, pehle uss Rathod ki behan ko acche se baandh ke baad mein jaa"

"ji"

Abdul left from there fuming.

It was two days she was given food. She was very weak...

But she never opened her mouth.

It was two days she knew her brother was searching for her. two days she had left all hopes to live... uski bas uss waqt bhi ek hi dua tha... Arjun ki salaamati.

Arjun was livid when he received the news of roshni being abducted from her school..

two days it was as if he was seated on hot pan.

He never knew who kidnapped her. But knew that he could not open his mouth nor move out to search her. He was feeling like a caged lion.

Next day, He had something to speak to sikander so he went to his chambers. He was then directed to move to a cell at the basement.

His heart pounded hard against his chest... fear gripping his entire being. He found it difficult even to lift a leg and move further.

As he neared the cell, he heard loud voices from inside.

"BOL... KYA PLAN HAI UN LOGON KA... TU TO USKI BEHAN HAI NA?!! TO BATA...HUMARE SAATH GADDARI KAUN KAR RAHA HAI..."

*slap*

"aah...main nahin jaanti... wo kaam ke baare mein mujhse baat nahin karte. Agar karte bhi to main tumhe nahin bataungi... kabhi nahin..."

*slap**slap*

Arjun froze outside hearing roshni's voice. It was because of him she is in trouble. It was because he was passing information to team they were able to diffuse two bombs and now roshni was here as captive...

He slowly walked to the cell and what he saw there made his breath stop for a second.

His love, his wife sat there pale, tired...red marks on her cheek and hands. Hair disheveled. His heart cried in pain and aginy. But there was nothing he could do now. his work, his nation came first to him... everything else was secondary...

He composed himself and went in said something in sikander's ears.

Sikander screamed at no one in particular.

"KYA???? YE KAISE HO SAKTA HAI???? YE 3RD BOMB HAI JO ETF KE HAATH LAGA HAI!!!!! Kaun hai wo..."

He knelt on ground and grabbed her hair and asked her

"bata de roshni ki kaun hai wo jo tumhare bhai ki madad kar raha hai???? BOL..."

"bhaijaan iss waqt uss ladki se zyada hume hamare mission pe dhyaan dena chahiye... aap filhaal ke liye chaliye" aaqif pulled a frustrated sikander out.

He glanced over his shoulder to see her crying...

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

Every day they would torture her...beat her... would not give her food... all just to make her open her mouth. Everyone laughed at her helplessness and Arjun fisted his hand tight controlling himself from not killing each one of them.

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

It was third day evening that Arjun went to roshni.

He went alone to meet her

"aap...yahan kaise???" roshni asked in strained voice..

"meri chodo roshni...par tum...tumhara ye haal? Aur tumne mujhe pehchana kaise?"

"pyaar karti hun aapse... aap chahe kaise bhi mere saamne aaye... main aapko pehchaan sakti hun...aap apne desh ke liye itna kaam karte hai, apni jaan ki baazi laga sakte hai to main kyun nahin?? Aapki identity main reveal nahin karungi Arjun..."

Suddenly he heard some voice and he left her and stood far and raised his voice

"tum bata kyun nahin deti hume ki tumhare bhai ne kise bheja hai??? Bata dogi to zinda to rahogi tum..."

"main kuch nahin jaanti naahi main kuch bataungi... mere liye mere bhai ke liye ye desh hi sabkuch hai samjhe tum..."

*slap* Arjun slapped her across the face keeping a stone on his heart.

He had seen sikander at the entrance and acted fast.

He grabbed her hair and jerked her forward

"batado warna..."

"warna kya huh??? Warna kya???"

"mein teri..."

He raised his hand but was stopped by sikander.

"aaqif. Tum in sab ko chodo. Chalo mere saath."

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

Roshni was tortured day and night but she never revealed the identity of Arjun or her brother's plans.

It was night time...

Arjun and rehman were sitting on terrace

"wo ACP ki behan ko maan na padega ji.. kitni himmat wali hai wo. Itna torture seh kar bhi muh nahin khola usne...aap to jaante honge na usse?"

"wo meri patni hai rehman..."he sighed.

Rehman was shocked initially but soon recovered with a smile

"mujhe ye sochna chahiye tha saab... dekhte hi pata chal jana chahiye tha ki itni himmat to ACP Arjun ki biwi ke alawa kisi aur ke paas kaise ho sakta hai???"

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

It was 5^th day she was kidnapped and Arjun was given task to make her open her mouth.

He went to her and looked at her apologetically.

He then slowly bent to her level and said

"roshni, bata do. Itne din hogaye hai. Dekho hum tumhare bhale ke liye keh rahe hai... bata do ki kya plan banaya hai tumhare bhai ne??? bata do..." *slap across her face*

His eyes had unshed tears for hurting her... he wanted to kill himself but lives of 1000's was more important than him and her.

He grabbed her hair and pulled her up making her stand on her feet.

"aaah...main kuch nahin kahungi... main kuch nahin kahungi..."

"aaqif... ye lo aur daal do chehre pe..."

Arjun was horrified to see acid bottle in his hand.

He simply took it and threatened her

"dekho isse tum jal jaogi...bata do..."

He opened the stopper and saw roshni.

She was afraid...afraid of her own husband... all the tortures she endured was taking toll on her. Arjun just dropped a single drop on her foot which burned her skin made her scream in anguish.

Arjun himself could not see her in pain. His heart bled.

"aaahhh...nahin...mat daalo...main batati hun...ye aapka aaqif koi aur nahin ACP ARjun hai...mere pati..." she started crying.

Sikander and Arjun were both shocked.

"I am sorry Arjun...i am sorry..."

Arjun could not believe that his own wife blew his cover into ashes.

Sikander was deceived. That was the last blow.

He went ahead and grabbed her

"kya kaha tumne??"

"sach hai...ye Arjun hai aaqif nahin."

He slapped her and she fell on ground. Sikander grabbed stunned Arjun and hurled him to the nearest wall with all force.

"tu ne mere saath gaddari ki hai aaqif...mere saath...chota bhai maana maine tumhe aur tum..."

"desh ke liye mein kuch bhi kar sakta hun sikander. Kehte hai na waqt aane par gadhe ko bhi baap banana padta hai...maine wahi kiya..."

Sikander took out his gun and banged its rear into arjun's head making him unconscious.

"roshni ko le jao... wo mere almairah se naya bomb nikalo aur isse baandh do.. main aa raha hun..."

Soon roshni was strapped with a time bomb and was taken away by sikander to a crowded place in delhi.

Not after long Arjun regained his senses and saw himself in a room, free but many people around.

He easily took them down and marched out. He saw rehman dead near the entrance of the building and something written near him in blood. He took the revolver from rehman's body and ran out.

***********

Sikander reached with roshni and saw Arjun on bike after him.

Roshni fiddled with the bomb strap making him to warn her not to remove it or it would blast then and there itself.

Arjun spotted them in the crowd and escaped from few bullets shot by sikander. He shot one aiming sikander and it directly hit his chest. Sikander fell on ground groaning in pain and Arjun took his position behind the wheels.

He called ETF using sikander's phone and informed their position.

He drove to an isolated place and stopped the car. He shot sikander once again and pulled roshni out.

He knew he would be able to deactivate the bomb in minutes. But one look at the bomb and his hopes crumbled. He had never seen anything that complicated. He was never taught by sikander anything about that bomb.

He glanced sikander at and saw him smirking

"suna hai aaqif...urf Arjun...student chahe jitna bhi hoshiyar ho par teacher usse ek daav kabhi nahin sikhata...tabhi to usse teacher kehte hai..." he laughed a maniac laugh and Arjun gave him a tight punch. He again tried to deactivate the bomb but saw its time racing. He just had 4 minutes in hand and no bomb squad would be able to help them. he saw ETF members running towards them and he quickly made roshni sit in car and pushed sikander in and he took position behind wheels.

He started the wheels much to horror of ETF members. He called sameer and said

"sameer...aaj mera aur tumhara saath khatm hua...sorry main roshni ko bhi nahin baccha pa raha hun... ho sake to maaf kardo hume...jaate jaate sikander ko bhi hum saath le jaa rahe hai...usse jeene koi haq nahin hai...alvida..."

"tum mere saah ho na roshni??"

"hamesha..meri wajah se ye sab hua hai...agar main na batati to shayad...ab main aapke saath hun..ab bas yahin dua thi meri ki aapke saath jiyu aur aapke saath hi maru aur desh ke kaam aau"

ETF members watch stood stunned...

The car in which Arjun, roshni and sikander were seated blew just few 10 meters ahead...they were helpless...

The car burned, flames reaching sky, ash and carcasses all around...

Their dear ones were gone for ever, leaving them, sacrificed their lives for the country and destroying evil.

They watched helplessly the remissions of car, burning...

Kisse poochoon
Hai aisa kyun
Bezubaan sa yeh jahaan hai
Khushi ke pal..kahan dhoondhoon
Benishaan sa waqt hi yahan hai
Jaane kitne lub pe giley hai
Zindagi se kai faasley hai
Ussey jeete hai sapne kyun aankhon mein
Lakeerein chootey jab inn haathon se
Bewajah
Jo bheji thi duaa..woh jaake aasmaan..
Se yoon takra gayi
Ke aa gayi hai laut ke sadaa
Jo bheji thi duaa..woh jaake aasmaan..
Se yoon takra gayi
Ke aa gayi hai laut ke sadaa
Saanson ne kaha rookh modh liya
Koi raah nazar mein na aaye
Dhadhkan ne kaha dil chodh diya
Kahan chodey inn jismon ke saaye
Yahi baar baar sochta hoon
Tanha main yahan
Mere saath saath chal raha hai
Yaadon ka dhuaan
Jo bheji thi duaa..woh jaake aasmaan..
Se yoon takra gayi
Ke aa gayi hai laut ke sadaa
Jo bheji thi duaa..woh jaake aasmaan..
Se yoon takra gayi
Ke aa gayi hai laut ke sadaa
Jo bheji thi duaa..woh jaake aasmaan..
Jo bheji thi duaa..
Bheji thi dua
Bheji thi dua
Bheji thi dua
Bheji thi dua
