Part- 2

"Bhai"

Arnav stopped on his way to his room and turned only to close his eyes grimacing. He shook his head sighing as he saw the scene unfold before him.

Akash lay sprawled on the ground, looking at his direction sheepishly.

Arnav gave his hand to help him up and he stood up taking his help, groaning as his shoulder hurt.

"Can you for once, look ahead and walk?" Arnav asked exasperated.

Akash only shrugged.

"Now tell me, why were you calling me?" Arnav knew that there was no point asking the same question over and again, which had no answer. He had learnt it over the years since Akash had taken his first step on his wobbly legs at the age of one. And he doubted that his ever clumsy three years younger brother Akash would be able to answer this quetion in his next life also. *sigh*

Mom I miss you!

Getting serious again Akash came to the point for what he was stalking his brother, "Bhai there is a fashion festival about to take place in our hotel here. The whole hotel is booked from 10^th to 17^th February by the event manager, for the guests around the world and they would also conduct the whole event in different halls in the hotel. So before I finalize everything I just wanted to ask if you have any prior commitment with any of our old customers in these 7 days or any booking which I am not aware of, else I would finalize this deal."

Arnav patted his brother's shoulder as he said smiling "nothing, you carry on" and was about leave but as a second thought he added, "The whole building is free to book, but not the penthouse."

Akash chuckled as he nodded and said "I know Bhai"

In response Arnav only winked at him and walked away.

**

So, ready for action?

Yes sir.

How many times I have said not to call me sir when we are alone?

Sorry Dad.

That's better. Now move, you don't want to be late for your mission, do you?

No S...err... Dad... I will take your leave.

Stay in touch with the PCR whole time.

Yes Dad.

**

"Do you want me to come with you Bhai?" Akash asked stuffing the full bread in his mouth only to choke and fell into a fit of coughing.

Arnav looked up hoping for some Devine help to mend the clumsy way of his brother, a little, while Anjali patted his back, giving him water.

"Beta please don't talk with your mouth full, as it is, you choke in empty mouth also" Devyani Singh Raizada, reprimanded her youngest grandson lovingly.

Taking a deep breath Akash apologized, "Sorry Dadi." His face puppy like, offended by his own clumsiness.

"It's okay Chotey Salhe Sahab, kabhi kabhi ho jaata hai" Shyam sat down in his chair beside Devyani and opposite to Arnav.

On the way to dining table he had seen how Akash's face had fallen and didn't like it a bit. Hence he assured him as soon as he came there and smiled seeing him smiling gratefully at him..

He wished Dadi and Arnav good morning, when Anjali came with his coffee.

"Here your coffee" Anjali offered and took the seat beside him opposite to Akash.

Shaym wished her good morning, kissing her forehead with all the love he felt for the lady of his life, in response Anjali smiled in his eyes while other occupants of the table grinned.

So Big Bro In Law' are you going to see the site today?

"Yep" Arnav answered, "I will leave after breakfast." Seeing Akash was about to repeat his question with his mouthful this time too, Arnav hurriedly shut him up saying, "No Akash you don't have to come. I will just go and see the area around for a while and then go to office as soon I am done."

Akash nodded gulping the morsel with his juice.

"If you find it good then we will start with the paper work by next week" Shyam said chewing his paratha.

"Sure" Arnav agreed and stared leaving, "I will see you guys in hotel."

"Okay bhai."

"Ji Salhe sahib"

"Chotey, try to come back little early in the evening, I have some guests coming." Dadi requested smiling at him.

Arnav groaned inwardly as he very well could guess who these important guests would be and looked at his Di silently pleading through his eyes.

Anjali only shrugged and gave him the look which said what-can-I -do'.

Shyam chuckled silently at Arnav's predicament, while he glared in return.

Seeing Arnav seething he raised his both hands in a gesture of surrendering,

Only Akash looked confused, darting his eyes among the three and finally unable to grab the situation he asked, "Who is coming Dadi?"

Shyam and Anjlai looked away pressing their lips not wishing to get caught smiling by Arnav, who was right now glowering at his innocent brother for his stupidity, when Dadi excitedly started to enlighten him about the guests and in the process indirectly informing Arnav too, "Mr. and Mrs. Singhal, with their daughter Vedika. She has returned after finishing off his study in abroad recently and helping her father in business."

Looking at Akash's face it seemed that the tube light in his brain had lit up after flickering few times and he scratched his neck, seeing how his big bro looked furious for even starting the conversation.

Before Dadi could enlighten some more that how Vedika was an extra ordinary girl and a fit to be a good wife, Arnav agreed to stop her, not wishing to hear her appreciation speech some more, "Ji Dadi, I will be home early. Now I should leave." He dropped a kiss on top of her head before grabbing his jacket and leaving in hurried pace, mentally making a note to talk to Khushi in their next meeting.

As soon he crossed the threshold, he heard DI and Jiaji burst out laughing and Akash saying, "I didn't know." And Dadi chiding them with a statement of her own, "There is no need to laugh, it's time that Chotey take these proposals seriously. He is 28 already."

Arnav rolled his eyes Dadi is talking like he is losing his hairs and teeth.' Humph!

And he stormed off the place.

**

They stealthily approached towards the door. Their guns pointed.

Abhay pressed his ear on the door to hear if any sound coming from inside, but nothing audible for his sharp ears also.

They looked at each other and Khushi counted three, raising her finger one after the other and with every finger Abhay and NK took a step back.

As the count ended on three, they took the three steps forward silently but in a speed and grace of panther and in sync. They kicked the door hard together at the same time. In result the frame broke free from its jam and fell on the floor with a loud thud on the other side, only to reveal an empty storehouse.

Still they went in with little precaution though there sharp senses knew it was no use. Still they checked every nook and corner of the area and shook their heads looking at each other.

Dragging her phone out Khushi called the person who had assigned the job to them, "Sir, its empty, they knew we are coming."

"Okay come back" Came the short response.

"We are on our way" Khushi said while walking out of that place followed by NK and Abhay.

**

NK was driving the open jeep while Khushi was busy checking messages in her phone beside him on the passenger seat and Abhay was listening to music sitting in one of the back seats of the jeep, his eyes closed.

Oh F*ck!

Hearing NK's loud exclaim Khushi's head shot up only to witness a jaguar crashing on a roadside tall tree missing them by a few feet.

The loud noise of crashing resounded in the little deserted road for longer than usual.

By the look of it, it seemed that the driver had lost control over the wheels and before the car could collide with their car headlong, he had manage swerve the car with some effort to the right hitting the tree sideways for less impact, saving a fatal accident in the process.

"Wise calculation" Khushi concluded in her mind while getting down to check on the passengers in the other car.

Nk swatted Abhay's hand, who had gone to sleep and didn't move an inch when their car had come to a screeching halt, before running after Khushi.

As soon Abhay's eyes opened it didn't take him a minute to jump down the car and follow them.

**

Khushi had opened the door to the driver seat and it looked like he had hit his head in steering wheel and fell unconscious, blood running down his face unchecked.

NK had opened the passenger seat to find a man dressed in black, squirming in pain holding his neck, still awake and not much hurt. By the look of him NK deducted him as a security.

Abhay had already called for the ambulance while coming behind them and now when he yanked open the right back seat door, the body which was plastered to it rolled down only to land in his hands.

As he cradled the head of the good looking young man in his arms, he felt he heard Khushi whisper "Arnav!"

When he looked up to see her face, for the first time to him, she looked a little shaken. But she drew her guard of indifference back as soon she realized he was watching and then he just wondered if he had seen the panic in her eyes correct or it was just a hallucination of his still fuzzy brain from sleeping.

He frowned next moment thinking, "Didn't she take a name seeing the man?"

That realization made him take a good look of his face only to recognize the man in his arms with shock, "Arnav Singh Raizada"

But he didn't get the time to ponder over the matter much, as he heard the loud wail of several ambulances and with that three of them got busy in their rescue work with the help of the paramedic team that came along with the ambulances.
