MY HOME
Rajveer and Alisha were being followed as he noticed through the rear mirror of the car. They were just about to set out when Rajveer stopped her and told her that he wants to drive.
She stopped the car in the driveway and switched seats but before she was sat properly, he revved up the engine and then sped off. "Slow down!"
He drove over speed breakers at a high speed, which took the vehicle off and landed heavily. The red Audi hadn't come off their tail so he was confident they were after them.
"What's happening Rajveer? First you were running away from people at the Red Fort and now you're running away from people who are chasing you." Alisha had noticed why he was driving like a maniac. That car was continuously after them.
"I don't know. First the police are after me and now these unknown people also. I can't seem to think who my friend is and who's not." Eventually he lost control of the car as it went over another speed bump and collided with the railings. He didn't want to waste anytime so instantly he removed himself and her out of the car to look for a hiding.
Alisha suffered a minor injury on her left arm but she didn't complain.
"We've to leave the car."
"Where are we going to go now?"
"I don't know", he pressed his eyes; "I don't want to take any chances," his gaze fell onto her injury, "you're hurt. I think you better go back to the hotel."
"I'm not leaving you alone," she insisted.
"I don't want to see you hurt."
"Rajveer I can take care of myself. And anyways if these people are still out there then they would easily be able to catch me and then they'll get to you. I'm better off being with you." She tugged onto him as if she was afraid to let go.
Seeing a general store nearby to where they were, something flashed into Rajveer's mind as if a memory card was being uploaded. The place had some memories involving him, but what were they? He crossed the road and stood outside the store. Then he stared up at the building under which was the shop. It sent a sense of deja vu in the air, "I used to live here."
"How'd you know?"
"I don't know," he made his way inside the building and was surprised to see the security guard saluting him. He definitely knew this place. Then as he passed the reception the receptionist stopped him. He panicked that he got caught.
"Ah, Rajveer, you decided to come back. Well everything is just the same as you requested. Here you go." He tossed a set of keys to Rajveer, who took it quite stunned. This guy seemed to know him quite well so he had to pretend he also knew him so there wouldn't be any suspicions.
Rajveer smiled at him and walked off with Alisha towards the elevators. They stopped at the fifth floor and as he stood outside apartment no. 504 he touched the name plate "Captain Rajveer Singh Shekhawat." It was his apartment; unbelievably he had reached some place where most of his answers would finally be answered.
The house smelt like it had been empty for sometime, but nothing seemed like amiss. Nothing had been moved as if nobody had lived here for a long time.
"How could anyone live here?" Alisha found the place creepy instead of homey, "are you sure you used to live here?"
"I'm not sure about anything."
Moving onto the next room, the dust and cobwebs suggested it had been empty for a few months. There were photo frames set up on the ledge above the fireplace, in which he saw himself in the army uniform and there were some with other people. "I knew it," he smiled "the place had been familiar." There was an old fashioned wardrobe in the corner but there was not much in there. The clothes were missing and a few papers lied around. The thing that caught his attention was a black box underneath. It held a pen drive. Now things were getting more complicated, what were all these coded things that belonged to him and why wasn't there a clearer clue that could just open up his mind once and for all. First the bank code and now this pen drive. He dropped on the floor and closed his eyes.
A flash appeared in front of his eyes of Naina shouting his name, "Rajveer Sir!" His eyes popped open instantly as he thought about her. There was something special about her because he remembered how before as well the same vision had appeared in front of him. He was confused and he knew that she would be one person to make everything clear. It was time to go and find her.
Alekh was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Naina was with him whilst Abhimanyu and the others followed in their car. Everyone had panicked especially Naina but now she just sat next to him silently going over what just happened. She remembered Rajveer pulling her in and using her as an escape goat. Then he just let her go and he ran away. Something was seriously wrong with him and she had to find him again. Then she went over Abhimanyu's actions and how he didn't stop that slim guy when he had the chance. Now she wasn't sure if she can trust him anymore.
In Rajveer's apartment Alisha looked around and when she found Rajveer sitting on the floor she became curious. "Rajveer, where are we and what are we doing here?"
"We are at my home."
