A NEW HOPE - Page 19

Thats all for now... rest of the update coming up at night...

At the Barmer's army headquarter's, Major General Gaur had left overhearing the terrorist conversations 2-3 hours ago and was now doing some paperwork. Upon sudden instinct, he left the file he was looking at and picked up his headphones.

Luckily, there was a conversation going on between the terrorists, the last one had been around 3 hours ago and had proved to be futile.

As M.G Gaur listened, his face almost lost its color, his blood turned cold. The terrorists had finally spoken. Not only was the conversation important, but it was the first time after so many days that the leader of the terrorist group mentioned a name. That name, M.G Gaur found out throughout the conversation was that of the main leader's name. There was someone higher than all those terrorists, someone who was controlling them. After nearly a week, there had been a major breakthrough.

Once the conversation was over, M.G Gaur removed his headphones and sat back in his chair; the terrorists were planning something. The details were still unknown to him, but he was fortunate to have heard the main boss's name. He immediately decided to inform Abhimanyu and the others first and then telling Brigadier Chandok.

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

In the palace; Abhimanyu, Gunny, Yudi and Huda were sitting in the study and talking. Yudi was concentrating more on a book he had taken from the library; it was all about the latest army technology and seemed to be far more interesting than listening to Huda's talks.

Gunny and Abhimanyu were talking to Huda about the wedding when suddenly the phone rang. Abhimanyu knew that Kakasa would answer the phone, so didn't bother. But, about 30 seconds later, the door to the study was knocked on and Abhimanyu saw Kakasa standing at the doorway.

"Arre, kakasa… aap? Kya hua?" Abhimanyu asked.

"Woh, aapke liye phone hai… koi officer hai, aapse baat karna chahte hai." Kakasa replied.

"Shukriya kakasa, hum dekhte hai."

Kakasa bowed and left the study. Gunny and Huda were watching Abhimanyu as he got up and took the phone call. (This time, the conversation is two-sided.)

"Hello…" Abhimanyu said.

"Major Chauhan, Major General Gaur here…"

"Oh, hello sir. Kya baat hai? Aap thode se pareshaan se lag rahe hai…"

"Pareshaani ki baat hai Major… kya Major Alhuwalia aur Lt. Sharma aapke saath hai?"

"Nahi sir, woh Rajveer aur Naina ke saath hai… ek-do ghnate mein shayad aa jayenge…"

"Fine. Tum unhe sab kuch bata dena…"

"Kya? Kuch pata chala hai sir?"

"Yes. Main iss waqt Barmer ke headquarters par hoon, aur mujhe un terrorists ki baatein ko sunne ke liye orders hai. Maine Ambala ke uss chalet mein jo device hai, usse terrorists ke base mein lage huye chip se sab kuch sun sakta hoon…"

"Okay sir…"

"Aur abhi-abhi kuch minute pehle unki ek conversation mein bahut hi important information mila hai…"

"Information? Kaisa information sir?"

"Jo baaki bache terrorists hai, unke leader, yaani ke main boss ka naam pata chal gaya hai…"

"Kya?"

"Yes major, humein finally bahut hi accha important information ki jaankari hai. Jo aadmi in terrorist ko control kar raha hai, unka naam humein pata chal gaya hai. His name is…. Eagle."

"Eagle?" Abhimanyu whispered, not wanting Gunny, Yudi or Huda to hear.

"Yes. Uska naam Eagle hai… ab tak humein sirf itna hi pata tha ki terrorists kuch plan kar rahe hai… aur ab humein unke main leader ke baare mein pata hai… mujhe abhi jaana hai Major Chauhan, Brigadier Chandok ko bhi batana hai… tumhe Major Alhuwalia aur Lt. Sharma ko yeh baat jald se jald batana hoga…"

"Ji sir. Main unhe aaj hi bata doonga… okay… bye sir."

Abhimanyu kept the phone and sat back down. His mind was whirring, according to Major General Gaur, the man behind all the terrorist activity was someone called Eagle. He had to inform Navin and Aalekh about it, but couldn't until Rajveer and Naina were with them. After thinking for a few minutes, Abhimanyu decided to let Navin and Aalekh know about the information when they returned from shopping, before they went sightseeing.

They had finished their fight with M.D Gehlot and were now facing someone who could be a bigger threat, a bigger danger, the very name brought about a sense of uneasiness… Eagle. They had to do about this soon… otherwise it could lead to the start of something dangerous.

Back at the mall, after everyone had finished their lunch, they continued their shopping, this time together and were soon on their way to the palace. It was around 3:00 p.m when they reached and they met everyone in the main hall, and began showing all their shopping.

"Wow, tum sab ne itni saari shopping ek din mein hi kar liya?" Yudi exclaimed as he saw all the bags laid on the center table.

"Yea bro, aur yeh toh sirf roka ke kapde hai, abhi toh humein haldi, mehndi, sangeet, wedding, aur reception ke liye saare kapde kharidne hai…" Neelu said.

"Oh right…waise yeh sari kiski hai?" Yudi asked, pointing to a beautiful green sari.

"That's mine," Shalini said, "Accha nahi hai?"

"No, no, it's a very pretty sari ma'am, I think it'll look very nice on you…"

"Thank you Yudi…"

Just then Abhimanyu came in, and interrupted the conversation.

"Humein kuch kehna hai…"

"Haan Abhi, kya hua?" Raj asked.

"Aaj ka jo plan tha sight-seeing ke liye, woh cancel ho gaya hai… hum sab kal subah jaayenge…"

"Oh… alright…" Navin said.

"Haan, isliye aaj aapko job hi karna hai, kar sakte ho…"

A few minutes later, once everyone had decided what they were going to do, they went up to their rooms and left their shopping bags and then went about doing their own stuff. Roma, Sameera, Neelu and Pooja had decided to go to the other palace, 'Riyasat' where Naina would be staying during the wedding functions to supervise how the palace was being decorated and readied for the bride and her friends.

Ali and Aalekh went up to the third floor where there was a big empty hall, which they decided to use for dance rehearsals; Yudi joined the two of them for a while with his laptop and was busy with song selections and stuff. A while later, Yudi left the laptop with Ali and Aalekh and decided to go for a walk.

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

Abhimanyu, Rajveer, Naina, Navin and Gunny were presently sitting in the study and were waiting for Major General R.S. Gaur to come, for Abhimanyu had informed them that he was in Barmer already and wished to meet all of them immediately.

Sherry was sitting in her room, removing the clothes she had just purchased and was hanging them in her closet when she heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, she found Huda standing outside on the landing.

"Huda?"

"Gulabo… woh mujhe tumse kuch poochna tha…"

"Kya hai? I'm busy now…"

"Dekh yaar gulabo, Huda ka dil mat dukha… mere saath chal."

"Kahan?"

"Arre chalo toh sahi… yaar yeh aaj kal ki janani bhi…"

"Wait… I'm coming."

Sherry goes to her room, places the clothes on her bed and leaves the room with Huda, who takes her outside the palace to one of the cars waiting for them.

"Huda… hum kaha jaa rahe hai?" Sherry asks him.

"Arre, tere bhaai aur naina ki shaadi ho rahi hai…"

"Haan toh…?"

"Toh meri pyaari gulabo, unke shaadi ke liye sab log ek vaddi cheez bhool gaye…"

"Kya?"

"Shaadi ki cards…"

"What? You mean ki shaadi ke cards abhi tak bane nahi hai…?" Sherry asked looking surprised.

"Haan… abhi tak toh unhone decide hi nahi kiya hai…"

"Par roka toh issi hafte hone waala hai… aur uske teen din baad saare wedding functions shuru ho jaayenge, itni jaldi hum cards kaise banayenge?"

"Oh-ho, isliye toh Huda tumhe saath lekar jaa raha hai, shaadi ki cards choose karne… Rajveer sir aur Naina ko dikhayenge aur unhe ready karne bhej denge… aur waise bhi roka ke liye toh sirf hum sab honge… tension mat le… ab chalo…"

"Theek hai, let's go."

And so, Huda and Sherry leave the palace to go and select a few cards for Rajveer and Naina to choose from. As their car leaves the palace gates, another car comes inside; Major General Gaur's jeep. M.G Gaur was greeted by Kakasa who led him inside the study where everyone was waiting for him. Aalekh had told Ali to go over to the 'Riyasat' and had come downstairs for the meeting.

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

In the study, everyone was seated in a circle and they were listening to what Major General Gaur had learned earlier this morning. Gunny, who had no idea of their mission, was briefed about it before the meeting began. He was told about the chip-bug located in the base of the terroists in Ambala, the planning of the minister's assassination, and how it was just a minor part of a major plan.

"Right… ab aaj ki meeting ka khaas baat; kal raat main Barmer Army headquarters pahuncha aur wahan par mujhe un terrorist's ki baatein sunne ke liye orders diya…" M.G Gaur said.

"Par sir, un terrorist's ki baatein Ambala se yahan Barmer mein kaise…?" Naina asked.

"Good question Lt. Singh, darasal baat yeh hai ki Ambala ke headquarters mein ek naya technological device aaya tha jisse kissi bhi conversation ko kahin par suna jaa sakta hai… uss device mein ek chip hai jo Major Rajveer ke ghar mein lage huye bug se attached hai… aur device ko kisi bhi computer mein fit karke saari baatein sunayi deti hai…"

"Toh sir, kya aapko un terrorist's ke baaton se kuch pata chala?" Navin asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, kuch hi ghanto pehle maine ek conversation ko follow kar raha tha aur itne dino baad unhone ek galti kar li; humein ab terrorist's ke main boss ka naam pata hai…" M.G Gaur said.

"Kya naam?" Aalekh asked.

"Eagle… uss boss ka naam Eagle hai. Kaun hai yeh eagle? Kya woh army mein hai? Kya ek minister hai? Kuch pata nahi hai abhi tak… sirf uska naam hai humaare paas. Maine Brigadier Chandok ko yeh information di hai aur woh saare army records ko check kar rahe hai…"

The moment everyone heard the name of the boss; Eagle, they felt a weird sensation; the very name of this boss seemed to curdle their blood. Gunny was shocked when he heard the name of the boss; it seemed familiar to him somehow, the name was heard of before.

"Toh sir, humaare orders kya hai?" Rajveer asked.

"Major Rajveer, filhaal aap apne shaadi ki tayyari par dhyaan deejiye, kyunki mujhe Ambala se abhi tak koi orders nahi aaye hai; jaise hi kuch pata chalta hai, main aap sab ko phone karoonga… main yahan par hi rehne waala hoon…"

"Okay sir." Abhimanyu said.

"Now if you will excuse me, mujhe waapis lautna hai… we'll meet again soon."

With that, Major General Gaur stood up, saluted them and set off for the headquarters. Navin and Gunny left the study to go upstairs to Navin's room to discuss this matter; Naina said something about the library and excused herself. Rajveer and Abhimanyu decided it best to join their two friends. While going upstairs, Abhimanyu stopped Rajveer.

"Abhi… kya hua?"

"Kuch nahi… hum toh bas yeh dekh rahe thhe ki kya aap humaare saath Navin ke kamre mein jaa rahe hai ya… library mein…"

"Umm… nahi toh, main library mein kyun jaoonga… main… main toh Navin ke kamre mein hi jaa raha tha."

"Raj… agar aapko kuch ideas chahiye toh hum aapko kuch bata dete hai…"

"Kya?"

"Aapke kamre aur Naina ke kamre ke beech mein ek chor darwaza hai…"

"Chor darwaza?"

"Haan… aapke kamre mein jahan par closet hai, woh Naina ke kamre ko face karta hai, uss closet ke piche ek deewar hai, jisse aap khol kar Naina ki kamre tak jaa sakta hai…"

"Sach? Par ek baat bata, dost. Yeh sab mujhe kyun bata raha hai?"

"Arre bhai, humaare mahal mein aur bhi bahut saare aise khufiya jagah hai jahan par aap bina kisi ke aane se… ahem, ahem…"

"Okay, main samajh gaya… zyada details mein jaane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai; waise yaar ek baat bata, kya tu in khufiya jagah mein jaate ho?"

"Hum wahan kyun jaayenge?"

Just then they reached outside Navin's bedroom and the door opened. Rajveer began coughing and Abhimanyu was sure he heard Rajveer say Roma's name in the middle of his coughing fit. Navin was looking at the two of them, wondering what was going on, but Abhimanyu quietly went inside the room, trying to stop his face turning red
