Chapter 36
“People who receive a free lunch
end up paying the price.”
The number you are calling is currently unreachable. Please try again later. Again Kabir thought frustrated for some goddamn reasons his mother’s phone number is out of reach once again.
How the hell everything is going against him? It wasn’t long ago when everything was going in accordance with his plans. Of course, it wasn’t a hunky-dory ride but still, everything was about to be in their grasp finally thanks to Ragini everything was going to be right for them. He and his mother were so near to their dream to acquire all wealth and riches of Rai Singhanias and VR Mansion. He was so near to defeat Vansh. Not less than two weeks ago he was at the doorsteps of VR Mansion with the arrest warrant for Vansh Rai Singhania.
Finally, his long-time dream was fulfilling but then the case was taken away from him and was given to Mohan Panday who turned out as CBI Mumbai branch head. With the case gone from his hand chances of him manipulating it to his preference and making things happen as per his wish were also gone. Then Mohan Panday managed to not just save Vansh and prove his innocence but also find the real mafia leader Kailash Rai Singhania. Once again making Vansh got saved while he himself? Once again he was defeated. That man has devil's own luck Kabir thought annoyed.
Vansh was out but what he does not understand is the silence of his mother in all this. What is even happening there? Her being out of his reach also neither she had tried to contact him nor had she updated him with the happenings of the house. With her absence and silence, a doubt has been raising in his head; and with that, his anger is also being rising up. What if she is in some kind of trouble? Kabir thought getting tensed.
No, he cannot think like that. He had to be optimistic because if not then consequences would be dire. At this point, he had no ally in VR Mansion that he could rely on. He had got to know from his sources his mother had gone for some puja to Haridwar which is so out of character from her and that is why it is making him doubt more not to mention she hadn’t informed him before leaving.
One his mother is not that religious and two least of all not for that family and its members of all people, but then that is what Chandrika Rai Singhania had said to her family regarding his mother’s absence. So where exactly is his mother? Dadi Rai Singhania wouldn’t lie that he will give that old woman for he trusted her that much. Still, nothing was adding up and or making sense.
Then again if his mother is indeed in any kind of trouble and if Vansh is involved it is not hard to fool the old woman in the mansion. Besides Vansh no one else is capable of this but again if he did it then it means he has come to know something and he wouldn’t have stayed quiet for so long and would have come after himself. Also, at the time his mother went missing, Vansh was in the custody of officials and from there he wouldn’t have been able to pull this off. Then who?
“That’s enough Vansh. Now, I can’t take it anymore.”
Kabir said frustrated to no one, in particular, taking his phone and dialled a number. As the person picked up the call he said
“Hello, it’s me. There is work for you. I want you to kidnap someone and kill someone. It’s a Rai Singhania. Now hear me out……and make sure it had to look like it was Vansh Rai Singhania behind it.”
“As soon as work is done let me know.”
saying so Kabir disconnected the call.
“This time win will be mine Vansh.”
Kabir said with determination in his eyes and voice and with a hardened face looking ahead.
Unknown to Kabir someone was standing outside his room had heard him talk on the phone. The person fished out his phone and dialled a number as soon as the call is picked he said in a low whispering voice to the person on the other side
“Sir, Kabir sir is planning something huge this time. Sir, he is about to……”
“Are you sure? Alright, keep an eye and ear on him. Keep me updated I will tell you what you have to do and when.”
The person on the other side said and dismissed the call.
******
Vansh was pacing around in his room while lost in his thoughts. Coming to a stop he spoke
“Not this time Kabir. Not this time.”
Then coming out he walked in corridors when something caught his eyes and his eyes widened in realization. He went to his home office and called forAngre. As soon as Angre reached in there looking at Vansh all tensed he asked
“Did you ask for me Bhai? Is everything all right? You look bothered.”
in a worried and concerned voice.
“Angre remember we installed few cameras in the house before Riddhima was shot when she tried to send a signal through torchlight and I saw her? After that so much had happened that I completely forgot about it. Get me the footage from it as soon as possible. Also, check out the CCTV footage from that beach party where that female police officer fell to her death. Especially, around that lighthouse check if you find anything there. ”
Vansh said finishing up instructing him. While all this conversation was heard and seen by Riddhima through the bug and spy-cam installed by Riddhima making her go tense. Quickly taking out her cell phone she dialled a number and as soon as the person on the other end picked it up she said
“I need your help. Vansh had installed a few extra cameras which I wasn’t aware of. You need to get into their security system get out footage of mine and the girls that could get us in trouble.”
“All right I’ll see into it. You don’t worry.”
Said the person on the other end and disconnected the phone.

Mr Chauhan had been in trouble these past few days and the reason for his worries was a young man who he was fond of with all of his tenacity. Though he loved Ridhay like his own son yet at times the boy gets to him like now with his latest demand he frowned remembering his conversation with him a few days ago.
“Uncle I want Riddhima out of there as soon as possible so please. Get her divorced in the next 15 days.”
Ridhay had said to him out of nowhere making him sit straight at it.
“Ridhay I understand your concern but even you need to understand that, this is not how the court works. Even with all the power, money, and influence, there is a limit to where we could get things done as per our wish. The process that was supposed to take 6 months we already got it shortens the period by three months and now you are asking me to get the divorce finalized within 15 days and get done with it?”
Mr Chauhan had said with a sigh trying to make the man understand.
“I understand uncle but even you need to understand how important it is for Riddhima to get out of there as soon as possible.”
Ridhay had said to him sincerely understanding Mr Chauhan’s point yet was being persistent. Mr. Chauhan knew where the man is coming from
“Okay, okay fine. Give some time let me see what I can do.”
Hence Mr Chauhan said with a sigh.
Now here he was better to get to work and see this divorce through thought, Mr Chauhan.

It had been a while since Ragini had come here and since her arrival, she had been on the alert and had been making her moves. She came to Kabir before Vansh came out on the pretext of asking for his security since after what she did to Vansh neither his family nor he himself would spare her if by any chance he escaped from the charges put against him.
She’ll have to admit Kabir was one cunning and sly man besides being a master manipulator. Almost always up to no good. It was that quality of his that she and her friends are majorly relying on to trap him. She knew Kabir well he does not leave proofs against himself easily. Hence, instead of relying on finding proofs against him of his old crimes, they are counting him on his future mistakes. Of course in the meantime, her and her friend’s investigation has been going on to find something against him. That’s why she is in his room right now seeping through his files in the hopes to find something.
It has been a week since Vansh is out and freed of charges put against him falsely. Kabir won’t take this defeat lightly besides that she and her friends had kidnapped the she-devil Anupriya. Though Kabir had not said anything she knew he is having his doubts regarding Anupriya’s disappearance. It won’t take him long before he starts digging into the matter. She had noticed with everything Kabir is becoming restless with passing time. If she knows him at all he will strike soon, in fact, sooner than later. It was three days ago she had got an opportunity to have her hands on his phone unknown to him when he went to the washroom leaving his phone outside and unlocked.
That’s when one big task was accomplished by her by bugging his phone. Since then she and her friends had been keeping tabs on his calls. Also, Riddhima with the help of someone she knew got the information out on his phone. Though not much was found yet few contacts were suspicious enough to dig things further. It was when she was surfing through another file when she heard the noise of his footsteps. Quickly setting things straight and making sure nothing looks out of place she managed to hide just on time when Kabir entered his room with his phone pressed to his ears. Ragini hidden from his sight watched him who looked frustrated at his call not being received by the person he was trying to reach.
“That’s enough Vansh. Now, I can’t take it anymore.”
Kabir said frustrated and looked somewhat furious? Then taking his phone he dialled a number and said
“Hello, it’s me. There is work for you. I want you to kidnap someone and kill someone. It’s a Rai Singhania. Now hear me out the person who you have to murder her name is Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania. You have to do it by getting inside the VR Mansion. The murder of Vansh Rai Singhania’s wife will take place inside his own house. There would be security and cameras. So it won’t be easy but had it been an easy task I wouldn’t have contacted you. The person you have to kidnap is his sister Sia Rai Singhania. After everything, Vansh won’t stay quiet so as a safety ticket get his sister. Don’t worry about the money. You do my work without any mistakes I will give you your price. I’ll send you details with photographs see to it no mistakes are made. There is no place for any kind of mistakes or misshapes everything had to be as planned and make sure it had to look like it was Vansh Rai Singhania behind it.”
“As soon as work is done let me know.”
saying so Kabir disconnected the call.
“This time win will be mine Vansh.”
Kabir said with determination in his eyes and voice and with a hardened face looking ahead while Ragini looked on horrified and scared at hearing what the man had planned. With the looks of it, it looked as if Kabir had hired a professional for this.
Oh god, Riddhima. I can’t let this happen to her. I need to inform her as soon as possible what this monster is planning for her. Gosh, I can’t believe I was in love with him once. Now just he played with our hearts now he is playing with Riddhima’s life like she is some guinea pig to be sacrificed for this disgusting man’s greed and unreasonable revenge. Ragini thought with disgust that was evident in her eyes and was directed at the man in front of her.
Thank god she fitted that chip in his phone. Now they will have solid evidence against him to get him behind the bars but first, she will have to inform Riddhima and alert her. Ragini thought with determination.
But for that, this Kabir needs to leave the room. Come on Kabir go, leave so that I can leave from here. Ragini thought impatiently looking at the man in front of her. A few minutes later as soon as Kabir leaves his room, Ragini comes out and goes to her room.
Closing the door of her room securely she dialled Riddhima’s as soon as she picked it up Ragini relayed Riddhima everything she heard.
“Thank you so much, Ragini. Don’t worry I’ll be careful and see into it. Even before that contract killer of Kabir’s reach to us, we’ll get to them. You take care of yourself and be careful. At no cost should Kabir doubt you or else he will not hesitate or think twice before harming you.”
Riddhima said to Ragini with warning and concern.
“Hmmm don’t worry I’ll be careful.”
Ragini said then bidding adieu both disconnected the call.

Kabir walked out of his house and was about to open the doors of his jeep when a car came making him turn around and stopping in front of him. A man stepped out of it. Looking at Kabir he came to him and asked
“Inspector, Kabir Sharma?”
Nodding his head in positive Kabir replied
“Yeah, how may I help you?”
“Well, senior officer Pratap here, CBI. You have to come with us for questioning. A case has been filed against you. Please come with us for the rest of the details we can discuss in the car.”
The official said shaking Kabir’s hand and indicating him towards his car.
“But sir, what case are you talking about and who had filled a complaint against? For what, on what grounds, what are the charges?”
Kabir asked startled and a little worried about the unexpected development.
“Please Mr Sharma we cannot discuss or disclose it here. We could discuss it once we reach the headquarters. Please cooperate with us.”
The officer said and once again gestured towards his car; asking for Kabir to proceed. Nodding his head nervously Kabir walked ahead and sat in the car while it was all witnessed by Ragini from the window of his house.
What is this now? Is it done by Riddhima? Then again she would have told her about it she might have forgotten would ask her later. Whatever whoever did it did the right thing the sc******l deserves it. Ragini thought with a satisfied smirk playing on her face.
******
It had been an hour of drive when Kabir noticed the route they have been on was wrong and did not go to headquarters. Turning around he asked the man beside him.
“Sir, are you sure we are on the right track? I think we are on the wrong route?”
Kabir said looking around the road confused.
“Relax Mr Kabir we are on the right path.”
The man replied with a stoic face.
“No, sir I am sure this is not the way to head office.”
Kabir said now with confidence.
“No Mr Kabir we are on the right track.”
Officer Pratap said nonchalantly making Kabir turn towards him alerted. He looked around at the faces of all the men sitting with him.
“Who are you all?”
He asked taking a deep breath assertively with an authoritative voice only for him to find himself at gunpoint from both the men sitting on either side of him.
“As I said Mr Kabir we are on the right track.”
The man named Pratap said casually looking ahead making Kabir shocked.
Kabir felt a sharp pain in his head one of the men sitting beside him hit him with the butt of the gun on his head making him go unconscious.
************
A few hours later
Kabir came to conscious feeling a sharp pain in his head. Looking around he found himself in a dark room tied to a chair with some wires attached to him. The other end of the wires was attached to a machine which was stood beside him at little distance. A lamp was hanging from above him and was the only source of light in the room.
Straightening up a bit on his chair he looked around for anyone. Upon not finding anyone there he said
“Hello, is anyone there?”
He winced with the pain in his head a bump must have been formed there Kabir thought with a pained look on his face.
Where the hell am I? Kabir thought once again looking at his surroundings and once more called out
“Hello, Pathak?”
Kabir shouted now getting frustrated.
“Finally you are awake. I must say you are a heavy sleeper, Mr Kabir Sharma.”
The man who introduced himself namely as Pathak came forward saying.
“Who are you? Why have you brought me here? Where is this place? On whose orders are you doing this?”
Kabir said asking the man in front of him in a go while struggling to get himself freed.
“So many questions, anyway what’s the hurry it’s like you’ll be leaving from here anytime soon?”
The man named Pathak said heaving a sigh in a relaxed voice.
“You have no idea who I am. You’ll regret it. I am a government officer. Do you have any idea what will happen to you for this audacity of yours? Leave me now and I might be merciful to you.”
Kabir said aggressively and threatened to him only get an eye roll from the man and a “Whatever” in return.
“You like to showcase your power a lot Mr Kabir let’s see how you manage to get yourself out of this. Use all of your powers you might like.”
The man said and turned his head to the side. Two people came forward in a white court from behind him. Kabir did not notice them due to the dark. For how long had they been here? Kabir thought. Looking at them he saw one of the men walked towards the machine and stood there with the control panel while the other came beside him making suddenly Kabir feel dread and fear seep in.
“Let the show begin.”
Pathak said and Kabir felt a jolt pass him through making a loud and agonizing scream escape from him.
“Ahhhhhh”
He was being bloody electrocuted. Who are these people? was the only thought in Kabir when another scream escaped him.
