CHAPTER 6
Akash and Ananya reached Akash's home and Ananya was surprised to see the house. It was a beautiful apartment with windows and a balcony. She entered the flat and looked around. Akash then explained her everything. He showed her the kitchen, study room, bathrooms, balcony and a small garden maintained by them. In the end he took her to the bedroom and said, "So this is your bedroom...kuch bhi cheez ki zarurat ho to mujhe bata dene. Now you can take some rest." Ananya smiled and asked, "Acha vaise ghar to tumhara acha hai but tumhari behen nahi dikhi?" Akash smiled and said, "I know tum kya puchna chahti ho...chill!!! vo abhi hospital gayi hai. Sham ko aa jayegi. And don't worry..." He came a bit close to her and said in a teasing and naughty voice, "Main situation ka koi advantage nahi lunga." Ananya said with attitude, "Tum le bhi nahi sakte. Now leave my room." And with this Ananya literally pushed Akash out of the room. After Akash left, she called her mother. The convo -
A - Hi maa!
N - Hello mera bacha.. how are you?
A - Maa vo yahan par COO hai.
N - (shocked) Vo? COO? Tujhe kab mila vo? Kuch hua to nahi na?
A - Nahi maa...hona kya hai? Sab thik hai...tension mat lo...i will handle him.
N - Jaanti hun you will handle him...dhyaan rakhna apna...kahin tere ghar var na aa jaye...ek number ka kamina hai vo.
A - Maa mani akeli nahi reheti...vo mujhe jiske saath kaam karna hai na...Akash...main uske ghar par reheti hun.
N - (in a teasing voice) Tu? Aur larke ke saath? Kya baat hai?
A - (boggled) Maa stop it! Uski ek behen hai isiliye aai hun...and sach kahun to pata nahi kyun par uspar trust karne kaa man kar raha hai.
N - Ye to achi baat hai...after a long time tu kisi par trust karna chahti hai...dhyaan rakhna bus. OK?
A - Haan maa! OK bye
N - Bye beta!
She disconnected the call and stood near the window and thought, "Trust...kitna chota sa word hai par kitna zaruri...iski vajha se na jaane kitne log har roz rote hain...i wish meri life bhi normal hoti...i wish varun par trust naaa kia hota...i wish..."
She stood there for some time and then went to sleep. After a few hours, Akash came to wake her up. He knocked at the door. Ananya came and opened the door and said in a sleepy voice, "What happened? Tum mujhe sone nahi doge na?" Akash smiled at her cute expression. He said in a teasin voice, "I am very sorry Miss Rawat par kya hai na hum ek mission par kaam karna hai...kuch dhundla dhundla yaad aa raha hai?" Ananya looked at him as if she was going to eat him up. She said, "Zyaada drama karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Aa rahi hun." She closed the door and after 10 minutes, she came out fully ready and said, "Chalo" Akash stood up and they both left.
After changing a few vehicles, they finally reached the jail. They had come here to meet the terrorist Ananya was talking about. Both talked to the inspector and easily got the permission to meet him. Both entered his cell and Akash sat in front of him. The convict looked and Ananya and asked, "Kya hua madam? Pichli baar se man nahi bhara jo phir aa gayi?" Akash looked at Ananya with a confused expression. Ananya looked down and smiled and said, "Vo actually na pichli baar first case slve hone ki khushi mein thoda zyaada maar dia tha isko.." Akash smiled and looked at the convict who was burning from anger.
Ananya and Akash then started with their interrogation. After about 3 hours they came to know that there is a group named Vipers who are involved in human trafficking and drug dealing. And both these business require transport and the most convenient way is airlines. Both of them then left the station and came back to the headquarters and informed their boss about it. A team was given a job of collecting information about The Vipers.
Akash and Ananya came back to their house. Ananya went to her room and took a bath. Akash cooked food and then went inside the bathroom when suddenly the lights went off. Ananya was really confused at this so she came to Akash's room. Nothing was visible inside. By that time, Anshi came back and was confused and went to Akash's room. Akash came out of the washroom wrapped in a towel. He didn't know about Ananya's presence. When Anshi entered the room, she switched on her mobile torch. As soon as she switched it on, she saw Akash wrapped in a towel and Ananya standing by his side. She quickly turned off the torch and Akash and Ananya shouted. Anshi smiled and said, "Oops! I am so sorry bhai. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki yahan kya chal raha hai...vaise ab pata chla ki ghar ki lights kyun off hai...it's ok continue...jab ho jaye to intro karwa dena." She was about to leave when Akash held her hand and said, "Oh hello madam jaisa tum soch rahi ho na vaissa kuch nahi hai...ye vo Ananya hai...mere saath mission par aayi hai...i have told you about her." Anshi slapped her head and said, "Oh aur main bekaar hi khush ho gayi thi..."
Just then the lights of the house lit up and Akash, Ananya and Anshi looked at each other. Akash suddenly realised his position and quickly took his clothes and entered the bathroom. Ananya was feeling really embarrassed so she ran to her room. Anshi smiled looking at both of them and said to herself, "Koi nahi bhai! Abhi tak kuch nahi hua to kya hua? Aage dekhna...I promise ab aapki life mein ek partner zaroor laungi..." She stood there for some time and left.
