CHAPTER 16
"Tum hume pakar bhi lo to koi faayda nahi hai...hamaare aadmi ab bhi bahaar hai." Angad said with anger in his voice. Nikhil held his neck and put his head into water. After a few minutes he came out and sat in front of Akash and Akhilesh. He said, "Sir ho info hume mili hai vo to sach hai...i think ab hume court jaana chahiye. In logon ne Wanderlust ke maalik, Mr. Ravidas Kapoor, se kuch illegal samaan transport karwaana tha but usne mana kar dia to ye log uske plane ko hijack karke use manwaana chahte the." Akhilesh asked, "Par Wanderlust hi kyun?" Nikhil said, "Kyunki sir vahan par inki ek helper hai...koi Shruti naam ki...usne Rohit Mafatlal se relations bana liye tha and Rohit ke through ye uske records mein easily ghus sakte the...in logon ne ek baar uski machinery mein kuch problem bhi ki thi aur phir Mr. Kapoor ko dhamkaya tha ki hum aapka nuksaan kar sakte hain and all." Akash suddenly remembered about Ananya telling him that Rohit one day gave a chit to Shruti and even about the engine failure incident. He said, "Vo meri hi flight thi." Nikhil said, "Oh acha...vaise main soch raha tha ki ek baar hume Mr. Kapoor se bhi mil lena chahiya." Akhilesh said, "Haan par uske phele vo Shruti ko to pakro." Nikhil said, "Sir usko pakarne ke lie maine team bhej di hai.. don't worry." Akhilesh nodded and then said in a sad tone, "Ananya hoti to paagal ho rahi hoti abhi." Akash, who was already upset, became more upset after hearing these words. Nikhil said, "Sach mein sir! Last time yaad hai excitement ke mare table par chadkar naach rahi thi." Both remembered the incident and laughed. Akash was not able to take it anymore so he said, "I think hume chalna chahiye to meet Mr. Kapoor." Akhilesh said, "Haan chalna to chahiye but tum nahi chal sakte." Akash frowned, "Kyun sir?" Akhilesh said, "Hum unko nahi bata sakte kit um DIB mein ho. Tumhe abhi wahaan age bhi job karni hai." Akash nodded and Akhilesh went to meet him with another man.
After he left, Nikhil asked, "Anshi kaisi hai?" Akash replied,"Thik hai!"Nikhil held his hand and asked, "tu miss kar raha hai na use?"Akash sighed. Nikhil asked, "Tune ek team bheji thi na? Kya hua?" Akash nodded and said, "Nahi bheja."Nikhil asked, "Kyun?" Akash stood up and turned and said, "Phele bhi koi clue nhi mila..Moreover" Nikhil frowned and asked, "Kya?" Akash turned and said, "moreover...Danish bol raha tha ki unhone use maarkar khai m fek dia hai" Nikhil almost shouted, "What? And ye tu mujhe ab bata raha hai. Main nhi manta." Akash sighed and said, "We need to accept the truth." Both remained silent for some time. Nikhil asked, "Uski mom se baat hui?" Akash replied, "Nahi himmat nahi hui." After sometime Akash said, "Acha main chalta hun...Anshi akeli hai." Nikhil who was still thinking about Ananya just replied, "Hmm"
Akash came back and went to Anshi. Anshi asked, "Kya hua bhai? You look tensed?" Akash said, "Nahi kuch nahi bus vo Ananya ki maa ko batana parega na...usi ke bare mein soch raha hun." Anshi nodded and then asked, "Acha bhai main thori der ke lie hospital jaa rahi hun." Akash looked at her with a jerk and said, "Paagal hai kya? Khud ki haalat thik nahi hai..hospital main kya karegi?" Anshi said, "Bhai relax...bohot important case hai jaana parega." After a small argument finaaly Akash gave up and Anshi kissed him and left.
Akash was standing in front of a mirror with serious expression and was thinking about Ananya's mom. He thought, "Already vo itni pareshaan rahi hai apni life mein...main kaise.." Suddenly his phone rang. He went to pick it up. It was Nikhil's call. He became really tensed to see his call. He thought, "Sir usse milne gaye the..koi panga to nahi ho gaya?"
Akhi - Hey Akash! Listen I got this information that unka ek aadmi tumhe track kar raha hai.
Aka - Par hum to un sabko pakar chukke hai na?
Akhi - Haan Akash! but stiil...tum bas apna dhyaan rakhna. I can't afford to lose u..
Aka - Dont worry main bohot jald us ek aadmi ko bhi pakar lunga...Aaap apna dhyaan rakhiyega.
Suddenly a sound of gunshot filled Akash's room.
Akhi - Hello Akash!!! Are you OK?? Please for gad sake say something...Akash are u there???
Akash was standing dumbstruck. He just couldn't get what was happening. A man was lying there dead on the floor. He came back to his senses and said, "Yes sir i am there...main aapko thori der mein call karta hun." He cut the call and looked at the person standing in front of him. he asked, "Tum?" "Kyun? Maan lia tha ki mar gayi...Mr...Ananya Rawat bhi itni aasaani se marne waali cheez nahi hai." There she was. For whom Akash was waiting desperately. He was more than happy but suddenly he asked a very normal question, "Tum kaha thi?" Ananya came forward and said, "Kuch problems sort out karni thi." Akash frowned and Ananya continued, "Rohit se divorce lena tha...jab tum log hume bachaane aaye main tab Anshi ko bolkar waahan se bhaag gayi thi." Akash shouted, "What? Matlab Anshi ko sab pata tha?" Ananya smiled and nodded. Akash asked, "Tumne mujhe kyun nahi bataya...hum dono problem solve karte...and tumne kiya kya?" Ananya replied, "Wahi na...tum mujhe akele mere dar se nahi larne dete...maine uske sar pe gun rakhi aur divorce le liye...usne resign kar dia hai and he will leave in a next few days." Akash said in low voice, "I thought ki maine tumhe kho diya." Ananya came closer to him and said, "Tumhe kya laga? Tumhare i love you ka jawaab diye bina hi chali jaungi?" Akash was shocked. He asked, "Tumne?" Ananya smiled and said, "Haan maine suna tha..tab jawaab nahi diya kyunki us waqt officialy kisi ki biwi thi..but ab nahi hun...though bohot ganda proposal tha but chalo phir bhi.." She stepped forward and slammed her lips with Akash's. After that she hugged him and Akash rubbed her hair.
"Eiii" Akash and Ananya looked with a jerk towards the door and saw Anshi standing there with scared expressions. Anshi said, "Aap dono ek dead body ke saamne hi romance karne lage...kam se kam ise hata to do." Akash and Ananya looked at the dean body and then at each other and burst into a laughter.
