CHAPTER-12
Sakshi came out and met the team who bombarded her with questions. Sighing at their curiosity she said, "pehle tumlog shaanth hojao....mei sab batati huh."
All relaxed giving her space. "I know ki tumlogon ke bahut sawal hain....mei insab ki answers dungi."
"Woh sab theek hain sakshi lekin tumne humsab ko sunne se mana kyu kiya." Ayesha asked her.
"Kyunki mei nahi chahti ki mei joh kehrahi thi woh koi aur sunne....iskamatlab yeh nahi ki mei tum par trust nahi karthi....mei iss team par apne aap se bhi jyada trust karthi huh." Sakshi replied quickly noticing their expressions.
"Guys...ab mei joh batarahih huh woh keval humsab ke beech mei hih rehna hain....insab ke peeche koi aur nahi Pathan hain...wahi insaan jiske dono peir Arjun ne thodi aur jail ke ander kardiya." She revealed to them.
All understood Arjun's anger and the sensitivity of matter as they all personally witnessed him going out of control seeing Pathan. "Mei Shree se sab microphones off karneki boli kyunki koi bada admi joh department se hain...uss Pathan ko help karrahe aur mei nahi chahti ki woh log alert hojaye."
"Par sakshi...tumhe yeh kaise pata chali...aur kab?" Chotu questioned her.
"Kuch der pehle....mere source ke through...mei sabko batanewale thi lekin jab woh Arjun ko damkaraha toh rokh nahi pai."
"Sach re Sakshi...kya tappad mara tune usko....sab ekdum shock hogai.....Arjun Sir bhi." Chotu joked making the environment light
"Lekin tum Arjun sir ko pehle kyu nahi batayi..." Riya questioned her as Arjun is very mad.
"Kyunki agar mei tabhi batati toh Arjun aapne gusse ko control nahi karpathe aur seedha Pathan se milne jaate...issliye nahi batai." she replied slowly.
"Par ab kya guarantee hain ki sir waha nahi gaya...woh toh gusse mei nikla na?"
"Ha...lekin Arjun ETF mei hih hain. Unke gadi abhi bhi parking mei hih hain." Sakshi assured as she can sense his presence.
"Abh hum kya kare...itne mushkil se usko pakhda..woh bhi koi kaam ki nahi." Ayesha said in dissapointment.
"Aisa nahi hain Ayesha....hum uss pathan ko red handed pakdenge...bas correct time ki wait karna hain humhe." Sakshi replied consoling her.
Everyone nodded as Sameer already decided to close to case in the eyes of everyone but in secret they would work on it.
Liza and Riya went to complete their reports which they need to give to Arjun while Ayesha and Chotu left to complete their other works leaving both sakshi and Shree alone.
She noticed that he is very silent understood he listened to their talks, went towards him. "Shree...tum humhari baat sune...haina?"
Shree nodded in guilty without looking up, while sakshi closed her eyes not to scold him, "Shree...kitne baar kaha humsab agar tumhe kuch batane hain toh jarur batayenge....lekin aise chupke se baath sunna galath hain." She chided softly stroking his hairs. "Ab bata kya chal raha hain tumhari dimaag mei."
But his actions suprised her as Shree hugged her tightly hiding his face wrapping hands around her. Sakshi was startled as they were in office and if anyone sees it would raise suspicion on their relation but she understood he need her, hugged him back providing comfort..."Shree...kya huwa...batao mujhe."
Hugging her tightly, he brokedown...."Nahi hota mujhse bhabhi....kabtak hum aise jeeyenge...Pathan ke karan, Pehle Jiji humse dur hogai....phir ussne humhari sheen ko kidnap kiya...agar ussdin bhai sahi samai par nahi athe toh hum usko bhi kho dete.....ab itne samai ke baad phirse woh pathan humse takrai....agar aapko kuch hoga toh mei bardaash nahi karpavunga."
"Shree...aisa kuch nahi hoga....iss baar Jeet humhari hogi....aur tum chinta mat karo....tumsab ke hote mujhe ya humhare parivaar ko kuch nahi hoga." She comforted him..."ab ...chal ek smile de mujhe." She said tickling him earning a laugh out of him.
Seeing his laugh her heart settled, fondly caressing his curls.."Aise hih haste raho...wahi humsab chahte hain."
This interaction was watched by three pairs....though they could not listen what they were talking. Sam-jun who came from opposite sides saw them and understood what happened smiled at their bond. "Sakshi ke hote...mujhe chote ki chitna bikul nahi hota." Sam mumbled slowly.
"Woh toh hain....par sakshi ki chinta jarur hota mujhe. Yeh ladki kab kya karegi pata nahi." Arjun whispered afraid of her safety
"Hm...waise tum theek hoh!" Sam questioned with worry.
"Haa....pehle gusse mei tha....lekin sakshi ki msg dekh ke samaj gaya ki gusse se kuch nahi hoga...abh kuch bhi karna hain toh soch samaj kar karna hain." Arjun Whispered slowly..with a smile remembering the message he got before he could step out of the office. After that he went to terrace to cool his mind and analyze what she said.
Coming out of thoughts both went inside....sakshi smiled at them both but Arjun ignored her showing fake anger and sat beisde Shree in his usual place. Taking a file he whispered, "Tu theek hain."
Shree nodded which relaxed him. Other than them the one who saw shree and Sakshi interaction was Riya, who was coming back carrying the files. Watching them she stood stunned as anyone who don't know their relation can take that in wrong way. She didnot know what to think of them left it as she saw Samjun joining them.
Taking the file she gave it to Arjun glancing at sakshi in suspicion. Others too came inisde and settled in their places.
Sam looking at them addressed, "Team hum case ko close karrahe." And every nodded as sakshi already informed them.
"Rawte...joh case tum handle karrahe tey uska kya huwa." He asked to know that status of the case.
"Jyada kuch nahi...ek ladki ki maut ..dikhne mei suicide lekin mujhe nahi lagta woh ek sucide hain." Arjun replied at the same time Liza entered handing him a file..."Sir...apka shakh bilkul sahi hain...yeh ladki lefty hain."
"Iskamatlab yeh sucide nahi Sochi samji khatal hain." Arjun completed the remaining sentence twirling the pen in his hands.
"Aur yeh tum itne yakeen ke saath kaise kehskathe hoh." Sam asked him interestingly.
"Kyunki joh insaan bachpan se hih lefty hain woh apne left wrist 4cm deep kaise khat sakthi...woh bhi apne submissive haath se. Yeh sucide nahi balki khatal hain..a cold blooded murder." Arjun concluded with hard voice.
"Par Arjun...apko kaise pata woh lefty hain..." Sakshi questioned him.
"Agar tum apne baaton se jyada apne aas paas kya hain uss par dyaan diya hota toh tumhe samaj athi ki ghar mei sab lefthand ke hisab se hain." Arjun sassed with her enjoying the irritated look on her face.
"Tane marne ki jarurat nahi...mei bhi kaam hih karrahi thi....aur jaruri nahi ki sab apke tarah bina baat kiye kaam kare." She retorted at him.
"Acha toh batao kya observe kiya tumne..."
"Yehi ki....Woh akeli rehti, apne parents se dur aur uska ek best friend uske saath rehti...naam Reema hain. Aur uska ek boyfriend bhi hain Sandeep joh ab lapata hain." Sakshi smirked at him.
"Kaha na....mei bhi kaam hih karrahi thi." She said with final word...while team looked suprised as she made Arjun Rawte stun.
"Toh tumhara kehne kya matlab kya hain...yahi na ki uski boyfriend hih khoon kiya." Arjun glared at her.
"Mei thodi na kaha woh sab...aur sab mei hih bataungi toh aap kya karenge ACP Arjun Rawte." She smirked with a teasing smile.
Shree leaning to her side, "Chup karegi tu....kyu sabko SYS dene par mazboor karrahi hoh."
Sakshi glared at him in return, "Unhone start kiya yeh sab...mei nahi."
Sameer shaking his head, "tumdono chup hojao... raat bahut hogai...hum sab kal subah case ke details se phirse investigation shuru karnege...sab ghar nikhalte hain." He said putting stop to their bickering.
Everyone sighed in relief and started packing to go back as they were working continuously. Riya glanced at Sakshi onceagain with a frown to ask or not but she didnot want to ask anything without any correct proof.
Shree who was about to go got dragged by his brother to his cabin. Noticing his expression shree started rambling, "Bhai...aap mujhe aise kyu keecha....meine kuch nahi kiya..sach...." Pinching his neck, "mujhe kuch nahi pata ...mei toh apne vitamins bhi liya time pe aur stress bhi nahi lerraha huh...toh mujhe gusse mei kyu dekhrahe hoh."
Arjun stood folding his hands looking at him who is going on without taking a breath stopped, "Chup...ek sabh nahi." He said stopping his brother's rambling.
"Kitne bolthe hoh.... sakshi se saath rehkar tu bhi ussi ke tarah bangaya....pehle samne wala kya kehrahe usse sunne ki adat dalo." He scolded knocking on his head lightly.
"Ow...bhaiya...toh mujhe kyu lekar aye." Shree sulkced rubbing his head.
"Dramebaaz...hogai tera...abh mera baat suno.." he started in serious face. "Sakshi ko joh last call aya uss number ko trace karo."
Hearing him Shree looked as if his brother had gone mad, "Yeh aap kya kehrahe...sakshi ki phone trace lekin kyu?"
"Joh kaha woh karo...shree...mujhe uss number ko jana bahut important hain."
"Lekin...bhai, agar usko pata lagegi ki mei uska phone trap karraha huh woh mujhe nahi chodegi." Shree replied as her anger is something he would never risk to take.
"Usko mei sambalunga.....mujhe woh number kissibhi tarah chahiye, pata nahi lekin mujhe aisa lagraga hih woh kuch janti jisse humsab anjaan hain." Arjun mumbled remembering her worried face.
"Par apko aisa kyu lagraha hain."
"Agar aisa nahi hain toh usko Pathan ke baare mei kaise pata hain jabki humhare paas ki koi bhi clue usstak nahi trace hoga....mujhe pucca yakin hain sakshi ko yeh information joh koi bhi diya usika number hain woh. Mei nahi chahti ki woh kuch aisa kare ki apni jaan khatremei daal dhe...apne badle ko pura karne keliye." Arjun confided his worries in him. Shree nodded as her safety is their top most priority....but they underestimated their sherni, everytime shree tried to trace the private number it was getting blocked.
"Bhai...mei kuch nahi karsaktha...joh bhi yeh number usse karrahe woh har hacking se bachrahe." Shree admitted with dissapointment.
"It's okay chote....hum kuch aur sochenge, lekin apna bhabhi ka dyaan rakhna. Mei ya Sameer sabkesamne usko expose nahi karsakthe...tu ek hih hain sakshi ki parchai bansakthe." Arjun said to him with worry.
Later at night, In their room...Sakshi noticed Arjun is in deep thoughts, started going towards him but felt dizziness suddenly and caught the chair which was near steadying herself.
Arjun who saw her swaying was immediately beside her. He gently lifted her in his arms and took to the bed. "Jaan...tum theek hoh." He asked cupping her face.
"Arjun...mei theek huh...bas thoda chakar ayi." Sakshi assured him seeing his worried face.
"Par achanak.... chakar kyu ayi tumhe....mei Kabir ko phone karu?" Arjun asked already taking his phone out.
Snatching his phone, "Kya Arjun...chotisi baat keliye aap jiju ko pareshaan karenge...mei theek huh...shayad BP kam hogai...hota hain kabhi kabhi." She said shaking her head.
"Hm...lekin agar phirse chakr ayi toh tum apna checkup karwavogi." Arjun said sitting beside her.
"Theek hain..." she said placing head on his shoulders. Stroking her hairs he again drifted into thoughts....noticing it, "aap kisi gehre soch mei hain." Sakshi asked joining their fingers.
"Hmm..."
"Apko kya pareshaan karraha hain Arjun."
"Yahi ki Pathan ka phirse humhari zindagi mei lautna....lekin tujhe kaise pata insab ke peeche Pathan tha....tum toh abhi abhi India ayi hoh na." Arjun asked her.
"Arjun...aap jyada mat sochiye.....aur mujhe mere sources ki thorough pata chali...aap mujhpar yakeen kijiye samai ane par apne sources ko jarur milvavungi." Sakshi replied looking at him
"Lekin...jaan...agar tumhe kuch hotha toh, agar koi tere sources ke through tujh tak paunch gaye toh." Arjun frowned at her.
"Arjun..itna mat sochiye kaha na....agar aisa samai ayega ki mei koi khatre mei huh aur aapko koi clue nahi toh meri sources apko jarur contact karenge. Woh sab ko pata hain ki mei kaun huh." She said giving rest to his worries.
Next day they involved in solving the case...they were searching for clues.... when someone informed them that a body was found in the dumpyard.
the team went to investigate and noticed the body was fully decayed emiting bad smell as the person was burned so that no one could recognise their identity.
Watching the scene...she felt nauseous and moved away, closing her mouth which was observed by Arjun who was worried.
Sakshi coming to otherside vomited not able to digest the scene. The others came back and looked at her in concern..Ayesha and Liza moved towards her handing a water bottle.. caressing her back "Tu theek hain."
Washing her face she came back...leaning onto the SUV replied, "Hmm..mei theek huh."
Sam-jun concealed their concern knowing she is sensitive to these type of things. Collecting evidence all started from there. Sakshi sat in backseat with Ayesha, keeping head on her. While Riya sat beside Arjun in passenger seat. Sameer, chotu and Shree took other vehicle
Arjun though driving the car...his concentration was on sakshi whose face looked pale. This was observed by Riya who looked down sadly.
Ayesha who causually kept her hand on Sakshi's forhead exclaimed, "Sir...isko toh bhukar chadgaya.." worrying Arjun.
Here Arjun was very concerned...cursing himself for bringing her there when she could not handle but gave into her pleads. Gripping the steering tightly...he said..."Riya...first-aid mei dawai hogi...dekho.."
Riya searched for tablet, "Ayesha...usko uthao aur yeh dawai do.."
She gently woked her saying..."Sakshi...yeh lo dawai." And helped her in taking tablets.
Within no time all reached their office..."tum log ander jao...mei sakshi ko hospital lejata huh." Said Arjun which suprised them but they knew even he is strict he cares for the team very much...its the reason they don't mind his rudeness.
"Arjun...mei abh theek huh....case par dyaan dete haina" Sakshi replied giving a strained smile while Arjun glared at her knowing about her dramas.
"Kya kaakh theek hoh tum...abhi bhi bahut hot hain teri body...tum hospital jao." Ayesha scolded her lightly.
"Par case..." Sakshi stopped seeing Arjun angry eyes.
"Agar ekdin kaam nahi karogi toh kuch nahi hoga ....Mei tumhe details dungi tumhari report keliye...aab koi bahana nahi.." Ayesha said getting down from the car.
Arjun zoomed his car......."Kaha na sakshi...agar teri tabeeth theek nahi toh mat avo office...lekin tum sunte hoh nahi..." directly going towards Singhania mansion as no one would be in RR mansion as all were attending a marriage in Delhi would be back next day. On the way he called Kabir asking him to come home.
Stopping his vehicle... he saw her sleeping....carried to their room which is present intbe mansion...asking servents to prepare food for sakshi. Inside the room he gently placed her on the bed...taking place beside her..."Jaan...kyu zidd ki waha aneki jab ki tum woh sab bardaash nahi karsakthi...dekho hogai na teri tabeeth karab pehle se bhi jyada." He whispered caressing her head.
By the time Kabir came hurriedly and asked, "Arjun...kya huwa choti ko.." seeing her pale face.
"Fever hain...aur ulti bhi ki..." Arjun mumbled informing him everything. nodding at him, Kabir checked her, while sakshi slightly opened her eyes. Realising where they are..Sakshi got up asking..."Arjun...hum yaha kyu aye.."
"Kyunki...mujhe wapas jana hain aur ghar pe koi nahi teri dyaan rakhne keliye issliye mujhe tumhe yaha lana pada." He replied with worry..."Abh kaise feel karrahi hoh."
"Mei theek huh..Arjun!" Sakshi replied giving him a smile..."yeh tum nahi mujhe bolne dho..." Kabir said reminding her his presence.
"Jiju...aap yaha kya karrahe...apko toh hospital mei hona chahiye na?" Sakshi questioned him.
"Ha...lekin tera pati ka order aya..." Kabir chuckled keeping thermometer in her mouth...while she glared at Arjun in disbelief.
Seeing his overprotectiveness..."Hey deva! Shree toh bilkul sach kehraha tha....pehle Arjun protective toh tha.. lekin itnese bhukaar keliye aisa kabhi nahi kartha....inndosaalon mei yeh bahut change hogaya....abh toh yeh possessive aur protectiveness ki saari seema langrahe hain..."
Kabir took it out to look at it and said, "Arjun...iska 102ka fever hain...lekin achanak itna kaise chadgayi." Making Arjun worry..."Pata nahi...lekin kal isko chakar ayi par tab koi fever toh nahi thi."
Sakshi avoided looking at them which was observed by them both who narrowed their eyes...."shayad tum kuch batasakhti sakshi, iskebaaremei...ki kaise teri temperature itna badgayi...achanak"
Sakshi tried to lie..."Woh...mujhe kaise pata..hoti"
"Sakshi..jhut mat bolo...mei tumhe achitarah janta huh...so don't even try...samje yaa samjaov..." Arjun warned her.
"Yeh dekho bappa....yaha mujhe bhukaar ayi aur inko SYS ke phursat hih nahi milta." She huffed mentally but replied slowly..."mujhe pehlese hih halkasa bhukar thi...subah chakar bhi ayi thi.."
"Sakhsi kaha na agar dubara chakar ayi toh mujhe batana ....tum mujhe batana dur office bhi agai." Arjun voice held anger and frustation.
"Arjun...gussa kyu horrahe...slight fever hih toh hain." Told Sakshi trying him to calm.
"Tum mujhe pehle hih batati toh yeh naubaat nahi atha...ab ek shabdh nahi tumhari muh se...samji." Arjun scolded her.
Kabir in midst took her vitals shaking his head at her. "Arjun...bas abhi daantne se kya faida... hum sab isko aur shree ko sar par bithaye..toh jaise chahte waise karenga na..."
"Jiju aap mere shree par phirse ungli uthai..." Sakshi glared at him.
"Chup sakshi...aur Kabir bata ab kya?" Arjun asked showing his eyes at her who pouted.
"Aur kya aram karna hain.....Bp bahut low hogai iski" Saying Kabir took out syringe...seeing it Sakshi mumbled, "Jiju...iski kya jarurat."
Not having time for her dramas..."Arjun pakdo usse.." he told him.
Arjun wrapped his arms around her pulling her into his embrace, who struggled trying to come out of his thoughts..."Arjun...chodiye aap humhe..."
But nothing was entering into their ears .....ignoring her, Arjun nodded to kabir having firm grip on her. While Kabir pushed her sleeve up and cleaned the place before giving it.
Stopping her movements sakshi pressed her face into his chest clutching his shirt tightly feeling a sharp pain.
Removing it... he rubbed the area caressing her hair lovingly, and left them both to give some space..."Mei kuch khane keliye latha huh."
After his exit Arjun lifted her head,..giving a kiss on her forehead. "Kyu nahi batayi mujhe jaan... subah tumhe phirse chakar ayi thi.."
"Pareshaan nahi karna chahti..... aajkal...bahut jyada cases horahe hain na...." Sakshi replied placing her head on him. Due to cases they were not getting quality time to spend with eachother.
"Agli baar bata dho mujhe..." Arjun whispered stroking her hairs gently.
Kabir came back with food...making her eat, they gave her medicines..."Tum aram karo...mujhe wapas jana hain...agar kuch jarurat padi toh call karlena mujhe."
"Shayad mujhe late hoga...lekin mei Shree ko bhejdunga shyaam ko." Arjun replied pecking her forhead for last time and left from there.
"Abh toh tera pati gaya.....Tum aram karo ..kuch jarurat padi toh bhuladena mujhe, meine leave leke aya huh.." Kabir completed his sentence stopping her before she could question him. Sakshi nodded saying thanks and drifted into sleep.
