Chapter 22: Parda Uth Gaya
Recap: Raman's statement, Rathode's low confidence, SamJun Raghu Coelho talks, Junior talks, Call from kidnapper, Sakshi Sameer talks, Ayesha's statement.
"Haan." All reply in a dejected tone. Ayesha understands why they are dejected and she just smiles.
He then moves to Sameer's cabin and they leave for home.
______________________________________
*The next day morning*
All officers and Raghu (🤭) gather in the office.
"Haan Shree. Location kya hai?" Rathode asks.
Shree gives him the location and all reach there to get Atul back.
The place is filled with guards who are dressed like civilian so that no doubt is arouse. When they see ETF approaching them, they start firing.
Team doesn't get shocked at this, they keep their revolver ready with them and counter fire. During the cross firing few of the guards get injured which makes it easier for the team to reach to Atul.
Seeing that all other guards are injured, two of them take initiative of relocating Atul. Arjun and Sameer take note of it and reach on time to stop the guards. The guards try and attack them but SamJun defend themselves and punch the guards in order to stop them from moving out of the scene.
"Chotu, local police station ko inform karo aur inhe yahaan se le jaane ko bolo." Rathode orders. Chotu does as instructed. They then see Atul who is lying unconscious. Arjun lifts him up and takes him to the car and all then drive to Raman's home.
*At Raman's home*
ETF enters with Atul. Raman and his family were already informed that Atul has been rescued and they are coming home with him. Mrs. Raman sees Atul and rushes to him embracing him in a tight hug. Atul also reciprocates the hug with tears in his eyes.
Raman nervously stands in the room and after gathering a lot of courage asks Coelho "Officer mere bete ko kidnap kisne kiya hai yeh pata chala?"
Coelho takes a glance at Raman and then looks at Sameer and Arjun asking them to continue.
Rathode starts "Haan toh Mr. Raman humein Atul tumhaare black mein khareede hue industrial site se mila. Yeh wahaan kaise pahuncha yeh humse zyaada toh tum ache so jaante ho, Hai na?"
Arjun continues further "Toh Mr. Raman aap ne planning achi ki thi, tender pass karane ke liye, lekin ek galti ho gayi. Tumhara woh dusra mobile humaare device mein detect ho gaya aur phir Samjhe Ya Samjhaun?"
Raman tries to rubbish the allegations put on him "Lekin main mere bete ko kidnap kyun karunga? Pyaar karta hun mein uss se."
"Kyun karoge?" Raghu in a stern voice says. He continues "Raman tumhara blood group O+ve hai aur Mrs Raman ka A+ve phir Atul ka blood group AB-ve kaise? Yeh toh tabhi ho sakta hai na agar bacha tumhara na ho. Kyun?"
*Flashback*
At night after listening to the call between kidnapper and Raman, Liza submits the blood report.
After submitting Liza says "Sir yeh Atul ke blood reports. Atul ka blood group AB-ve hai. Aur uss bori pe shayad Atul ka khoon hoga. Lekin ek ajeeb baat hai."
"Kya?" Arjun asks.
Liza starts to explain everyone on what she observed "Sir Mr Raman ka blood group O+ve hai aur Mrs. Raman ka A+ve. Phir Atul ka blood group AB-ve kaise? I mean B group ka allele toh dono ke DNA mein nahin hai phir Atul ke DNA mein kahan se aayi? Allele matlab.." but before she completes Ayesha interrupts
"Liza sab samajh gaye. Zyaada explain mat karo." Liza then looks at everyone. Coelho Raghu just look at her. Arjun and Sameer nod their head in disbelief. Shree Sakshi Chotu smack their forehead and Ayesha nudges her to stop.
"Ohh. Sab samajh gaye?" asks Liza nervously.
Arjun immediately replies "Haan." He continues further "Tumhara matlab yeh hai na ki Atul Raman ka beta nahin hai. Hai na?"
"Yes Sir." Liza replies.
"Yeh baat tum directly nahin bol sakti thi?" Sakshi asks with a wide grin.
"Woh main scientifically bol rahi thi." replies Liza.
*Flashback ends*
Atul is sent to his room. Mrs Raman steals glances from the officers and everyone present in the house. Because it was a fact that Atul is not Raman's son but an illegitimate child. She then asks Raman feeling very embarrassed "Aapko yeh baat pata thi?"
Raman also who had tried refuting the allegations bursts out "Haan pata thi mujhe yeh baat. Issiliye maine Atul ko bali ka bakra banaya. Waise bhi konsa mera khoon hai. Issiliye mujhe laga ki agar main Atul ke kidnapping ka natak karke tender pass kara sakun toh profit bhi milega aur uske baad Atul ki laash bhi patriyon ke paas chod dunga."
"Toh Shankar ka khoon bhi tumne kiya tha?" Raghu asks sternly.
To which Raman replies "Haan. Kyunki mujhe logon ko yeh dikhaana tha ki agar yeh tender maine pass nahin karaya toh Atul bhi mar jaayega. Lekin.." he stops.
Coelho continues "Laalach mein aakar tumne apni reputation bhi kho di aur Family bhi. Kya hua agar Atul tumhara khoon nahi tha, pyaar toh tumse bohot karta tha na Raman. Tumne apni zindagi mein apni family bhi kho di. Aur ab toh tender pass kar nahin sakte aur jail ki hawa khaani padegi so alag." Coelho concludes
"Leke jaao inhe." Rathode orders the head constable and constable who had come with them. Mr Raman is taken to the Police Station.
Mrs Raman cries her heart out. Ayesha and Sakshi go to her to console her. Coelho comes forward "Mrs Raman it's okay. Abhi Atul ka khayal aap hi ko rakhna hai. All the Best!"
"Hmm" saying so Mrs Raman wipes her tears and gets up to thank them. "Thank you so much officers Atul ko wapas laane ke liye."
"Aree nahin yeh humaari duty thi." Coelho replies. And saying so all take leave from Raman's house and go to ETF office.
After returning they all go towards Rathode's cabin to retire. The Cabin scene turn hilarious as Arjun Raghu and Coelho take seats in front of Rathode's chair. Rathode doesn't sit on his chair and there is no other chair available. He feels awkward to sit in front of his seniors and that too Coelho sir and Raghu sir who once graced the chair.
Trio just look at each other wondering why Rathode did not sit. Coelho understands Rathode's dilemma and he goes to sit on the chief chair. By now all understand why Rathode was behaving oddly. Rathode heaves a sigh of relief and occupies the seat which Coelho left. Raghu, Arjun and Coelho just smile and look at Rathode
"Kya?" asks Rathode
"Kuch nahin" all three reply nodding their head in negative and smile.
Here the juniors retire on their desks and start chit chatting.
"Kaisa baap hai na Raman. Mera matlab apne hi bete ko kidnap kiya aur phir maarna bhi chahta tha usse. How disgusting." Sakshi starts talking about the day.
Shree who seems ver sad replies "Hope Atul theek ho ab. Mera matlab hai usse jab pata chalega toh.."
"Haan kitna pyaar karta tha Raman se woh aur Raman, Chee!" Chotu exclaims in disgust.
"Aur nahin toh kya?" Ayesha pitches into the conversation.
"Chalo jaane do." Shree says in order to change the topic.
"Aaj ke kya plans hai guys?" Liza comes into the office all chirpy.
All greet her with a warm smile and Sakshi and Ayesha hug her "Heyyy!!"
"Pehle sir humein chuti de usske baad hum decide karte hai." Shree answers to her question mentally thanking her for coming at the right time to change topic.
"Haan warna SYS aur Damm it dono saath sun na padega." Chotu concludes. All agree with him and laugh.
*In the cabin*
"Rawate tu baat samajh nahin raha hai. Hum nahin jaa sakte hai wahan." Rathode states in a clear no. Coelho smiles at this and Raghu just listens.
"Kyun nahin jaa sakte?" Arjun asks raising his eyebrows.
Rathode takes a deep breath and continues objecting "Pathan se kya baat karni hai tumhe? Aur agar karni bhi hai toh bhi tu usska haat ya per tod dega baad mein. Iss se acha hai hum nahin jaate." Coelho tries to suppress his smile as he knows very well why Rathode is saying no.
Arjun loses his cool now and yells "Tujhe kya lagta hai main humesha gusse mein rehta hun?"
"Koi shaq? Kyunki humein toh nahin hai." Rathode also answers back.
"Rathode!" Arjun scowls
"Rawate! Pehle gusse pe kaabu kar usske baad Pathan se milne chalenge." Rathode also doesn't hold back and orders.
Raghu gets stunned at this behaviour of SamJun and now he scolds them "Yeh kya ho raha hai? Kya hai yeh Rathode-Rawate?"
"Humaare surname." Rathode replies.
"Rathode." Raghu glares at him and continues "Itna bhi hum jaise nahin ban na tha tum dono ko."
"Pehle bolte. Ab bolke kya faayda. Ban gaye hai yeh waise." Coelho intrudes in between.
"Ab inki ma'am mujhe taana marna nahin chodegi." Raghu answers to Coelho.
"Huh." Both Arjun and Sameer scoff.
Arjun now turns to his seniors for permission "Sir mujhe Pathan se milna hai. Agar jailer keh raha hai ki usse humse baat karni hai toh humein wahaan jaana chahiye."
"Rawate!" Rathode scowls but Arjun ignores it and continues
"Mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki wahan kuch mil sakta hai humein."
Rathode in a hushed voice replies "Tumhe toh bas lag raha hai mujhe yakeen hai."
Arjun hears Rathode murmuring something and asks loudly "Kya?"
Rathode realizes he can be heard and hence replies "Kuch nahin milega wahaan Rawate. Sikandar mar chuka hai aur kya jaan na hai tumhe."
To which Arjun replies "Secret agent ke baare mein Pathan ko zaroor pata hoga."
Rathode's eyes open wide in shock but he later controls it "Jaan ne ki kya zaroorat hai. Mujhe nahin lagta ki woh agent apni identity batana chahega."
Raghu also who is keen to know about Secret Agent asks "Kyun?"
"Kyun ka kya matlab sir? Agar batana hota toh ab tak bata deta na." Rathode replies.
Arjun can't contain it any longer and hence he moves out of the cabin saying "Main jaa raha hun Pathaan se milne. Tum aana chahte ho toh aao Rathode warna jaane do."
Rathode gets tensed and he turns to his seniors "Sir hum sab chalte hai. Kya pata gusse mein aakar kissiko peet de. Chaliye sir."
"Haan chalo." Raghu ad Coelho both reply. Raghu replies with a serious tone while Coelho replies with a smirk. Rathode just rolls his eyes at Coelho's smirk.
They come out of the cabin. Seeing them come out juniors get up. "Hum log Central Jail jaa rahe hai, Pathaan se milne." Rathode states to them.
"Kya?" All at once ask as they know what is going to happen there.
"Haan. Ab chalo." Rathode frustratingly orders l.
"Inhe chalne ki kya zaroorat hai?" Arjun asks.
"Logon ki zaroorat pad sakti hai Rawate. Aur woh Central Jail hai, Shopping mall nahin ki munh uthaake chal diye. Criminals se bhara hua hai woh." Rathode replies with anger. Anger at Arjun's carelessness regarding Central Jail.
"Jail criminals se hi bhara hua hota hai Rathode." says Raghu.
"Zaroori nahin hai sir. Humaara department begunaah ko bhi sazaa dilwa sakta hai." Rathode replies with conviction.
Raghu knows Rathode is right and hence he continues "Hmmm.. Chalo." And saying so they all leave from office. All seniors sit in one car whereas juniors in the other.
*In Junior's car*
"Rathode sir toh gaye. Agar Pathaan ko kuch bhi pata hai, toh Rathode sir ko na koi nahin bacha sakta." Chotu states his worry.
Shree also who is tensed asks "Arjun sir ko rok nahin sakte kya?"
"Tumhe kya lagta hai Specky Rathode sir ne koshish nahin ki hogi. Rathode Rawate suna na tumne." replies Liza.
Sakshi continues "Ab toh aane waali musibat se bappa hi bacha sakte hai humein."
Ayesha also who is tensed replies to her "Haan Sakshi, wahaan jaake kya hoga yeh toh bhagwaan hi jaante hai. Hope sab theek rahe. Warna.."
They all reach Central Jail to meet Pathan. Pathan had called them to talk about something and since he was Sikandar's close aid the jailer contacted Arjun on Pathan's saying.
They enter the premises and see a man sitting on a wheel chair in the shade of a banyan tree. Arjun is now unbothered about Pathan's existence. His only aim was to kill Sikandar and he has fulfilled it. So now Pathan was just a lose criminal to him.
Rathode has nervousness spread all over his face. He knows anytime anything can go wrong and this time he won't be able to control it. Hence he stands next to Coelho so that any problem comes he needn't handle it alone. Because if Raghu and Arjun come to know anything he is dead.
"Haan Pathaan bolo kya baat karni thi?" Arjun in a no-nonsense mood asks.
Hearing this Pathan turn towards the team saying "Rawate! Swagat hai tumhara". He finds the whole team standing and hence adds "aur tumhare team ka." with a wide smile.
Raghu gets angry looking at Pathan smile shamelessly. Hence he says "Pathaan yeh tumhaara Sasural hai swagat toh humein karna chahiye tumhara."
"Ohohoh.. Raghu tu bhi yahaan. Pre-mature retirement ke baad mazaa nahin aaya? Aur Sheen kaisi hai?" Pathan asks to intensify the situation.
Rawate holds his collar and Rathode scowls "Apni gandi zubaan se uska naam mat lena Pathaan."
Pathan finally notices Rathode "Rathode. Welcome." Rathode's expression changes at this "Tumhare chehre pe gussa aur dar dekh kar lagta hai ki tum jaante ho maine Arjun ko yahaan kyun bulaya hai."
Pathan continues "Chalo koi baat nahin." He turns his head towards Rawate like a psychopath "Rawate badhaai toh de nahin sakta mere maalik ko khatam kar diya tune, lekin shaabaashi zaroor dunga. Aakhir pakad toh liya tune Sikandar ko."
"Tere shaabaashi ki koi zaroorat nahin hai mujhe Pathaan." Rawate replies firmly.
Pathan fakes disappointment "Aree. Chalo jaane do. Yeh batao mere maalik ke baare mein pata kaise chala tujhe? Mere toh per bhi tode tumne phir bhi maine kuch nahin bola. Tujhe phir pata kaise chala."
"Wafadar toh bohot hai tu. Hai na?" Raghu asks with disgust.
"Haan wafadaari toh kut kut ke bhari hai. Tum logon jaise nahin ki department ke peet peeche kuch bhi karna. Kyun Rathode?" Pathan asks with a wicked smile.
"Woh kya hai na wafadaari tabhi ho sakti hai jab soch milte ho. Ab dekh tu ghatiyaa issiliye tumne Sikandar jaise ghatiyaa insaan se wafadari ki. Hum ache issiliye department.. " Rathode leaves his statement incomplete as everyone understood what he implied.
Pathan who also understood smiles "Rathode.. baat karna aur chupana koi tumse seekhe." At which Rathode glares at him.
Pathan now again turns to Arjun "Waise mere sawaal ka jawaab ab tak nahin mila mujhe. Kahaan se pata lagaya Sikandar ka. Jab tak mujhe pata nahi chalega na mann ko shaanti nahin milegi."
Rathode, Coelho and Juniors who are observing this acting of Pathan stand surprised. Rathode comes out of his trance and whispers to Coelho "Kyaa acting kar raha hai sir yeh. Pata sab kuch hai lekin mujhe fasaane ke liye yeh sab kar raha hai."
Coelho who is enjoying the whole drama replies "Haan dekh raha hoon."
"Toh kuch kijiye." Rathode insists.
"Main kya karoon? Maine kaha tha pehle hi mila do Arjun ko informer se tumne hi mana kiya tha. Ab bhukto." saying so Coelho just winks at him.
"Sir!" Rathode exclaims.
Here the juniors talk. "Rathode sir toh gaye kaam se guys.." says Shree
"Haan.." all reply in unison.
"Abhi Arjun Sameer ko nahin chodega." Sakshi worriedly states.
"Haan Sakshi." All reply to Sakshi.
Pathan moves ahead with his drama "Haan toh Rawate bata."
Arjun who is sick of this whole drama replies "Rathode file leke aaya tha. Uss mein Sikandar ki kuch details thi. Ussiko track karke pohonchna main. Zyaada nahin thi kyunki department ne aadhe se zyaada details mita diye the lekin jitna tha pohonch gaya main."
Pathan smirks and looks at Rathode and in a fake surprised tone asks "Achaa.. Rathode tumhe kahaan mila file?"
Rathode gets hell frustrated at this behaviour of Pathan and hence he growls "Iss se tumhe matlab? Mila mujhe."
Arjun who is getting impatient asks loudly "Ab tum batao aisi konsi zaroori baat karni thi?"
Pathan with lot of drama replies "Aree aise kaise. Pehle mujhe jaan na hai ki kon hai woh gaddar jisne details di Sikandar ki. Toh Rathode batao kahaan mili tumhe file?"
"Main yeh batana zaroori nahin samajhta. Aur mujhe nahin lagta ki tumhare paas kuch batane laayak hai. Toh Rawate humein humaara time waste nahin karna chahiye. Chalo." Rathode states.
"Itni bhi kya jaldi hai Rathode. Thodi der aur ruko. Kuch bigadne nahin waala hai tumhara." Pathan stops Rathode from leaving the premises. Rathode passes strong heated glares at Pathan.
Pathan also replies "Aree tum toh gusse mein lag rahe ho mujhe. Bata do kahaan mili file main bhi bata doonga jo mujhe batana chahiye. Isske baad tum log jaa sakte ho."
Rathode who is hell frustrated now growls "Pathaan!!"
Arjun gets shocked at this behaviour of Rathode and he stops him saying "Rathode issko daraakar kya milega? Sikandar mar chuka hai. Yeh ab bas ek mamuli sa criminal hai humaare liye."
Rathode turns to Arjun and yells at him too "Rawate! Tu samajh nahin raha. Humaara time waste ho raha hai."
Arjun tries to judge his actions "Rathode! Mujhe jaan na hai isse kya bolna hai."
"Sir.." the juniors try to stop their seniors from fighting.
Rathode can't hold it any longer and replies "Haan toh Pathan file mujhe mere Delhi cabin mein mili. Zyaada main nahin jaanta."
Arjun and Raghu first don't realise but after a few seconds when they do they glare at him. Seeing this juniors understand that the cat is out of the bag and get nervously tensed. They now fear what is going to happen next. Coelho smacks his own head and then say "Rathode yeh jhooth bolne kisne kaha tha? Arjun aur Raghu ko pata chal gaya." But Rathode doesn't look in their direction. He is now hell scared as anything can happen to him.
Pathaan looks at Rathode in disbelief "Kya? Jiss Sikandar ko Arjun paaglon ki tarah dhund raha tha lekin phir bhi kuch haath nahin laga, uss Sikandar ki file tumhe Delhi cabin mein milli? Hadd hoti hai Rathode."
The juniors cross their fingers as they know anytime Arjun can explode.
Pathan continues "Rathode mere maalik ka naam aise toh mat dubaao na yaar. Waise jo main bolna chahta tha woh toh tum sab samajh hi gaye hoge. Hai na ACP Arjun Rawate Samjhe Ya Samjhaun?"
Saying so Pathan goes towards his cell. Before going he turns back "Rathode mera cell number toh jaante ho ho na. Aa jana kabhi."
Rathode who is hell frustrated and scared asks in anger "Kyun?"
"Jhooth bolna sikha dunga." Pathaan says and gives a wide grin before leaving. Everyone control their laughter including Arjun and Raghu. Rathode thinks "Rawate ne pair toda hai main iska munh tod dunga."
Sakshi comes to Sameer and places her hand on his shoulder "Koi faayda nahin hai Sameer Pathaan ko ghurkar. Arjun ab tumhaari class lene waala hai. All the Best!"
Arjun notices this and asks "Toh tum yeh baat jaanti thi?"
Sakshi doesn't want to keep Arjun in darkness "Hum sab jaante the Arjun. Woh biryani lunch ke baad sochne par pata chal gaya."
"Haan sir aur Coelho sir bhi toh baar baar 8-9 saal pehle ki baat kar rahe the jiss ke baad Rathode sir faisla badal lete the." Liza adds. The juniors now want Arjun to know everything. Keeping him in darkness is not right.
"Thank you Liza help ke liye." Sameer says sarcastically
"Sorry sir lekin ab aap agar chupayenge na toh problem ho jaayegi." Liza replies. Sameer also understands what they mean.
"Ohh toh issiliye Coelho tere aur Rathode ke beech aankhon hi aankhon mein baatein hoti thi." Raghu scowls at Coelho for knowing everything and still hiding it from him.
"Haan." replies Coelho casually.
"Toh tu yeh sab jaanta tha?" Again Raghu asks to be sure.
"Haan. Maine pre-mature retirement nahin li thi na."Coelho taunts Raghu now at which Rathode laughs but hides it with a cough.
"Coelho!" Raghu growls at him.
"Raghu!" Coelho also doesn't hold back. He adds the reason too "Hum jail mein hai baahar Chalke baat karte hai."
The juniors are very much surprised at this. "Guys ab toh 3 set of atom bomb jhelne honge Rathode-Rawate, Raghu-Coelho aur Rahode-Raghu sir." Chotu says with a surprised face.
"Haan. kya bumper offer mila hai na?" Shree states sarcastically.
"Lekin offer toh Khushi deti hai na? Yeh toh.." Liza states nervously.
"Chup raho guys." Ayesha orders and they walk to their seniors.
Rathode thinks of escaping the situation "Sir woh meri meeting hai."
Arjun gives him death glare whereas Raghu gets irritated at this and he asks angrily "Kisske saath Rathode?"
Coelho smacks his head and says "Rathode tumhe jab jhooth bolna nahin aata toh kyun bolte ho. Tum logon ko mujhe report karna hai. Aur kissiko nahin."
Rathode also complains to Coelho "Sir aapne mujhe jhooth bolna nahin sikhaya tha."
To which Raghu replies in a teasing manner "Isse khud jhoot bolna kahan aata hai. Uss wajah se kitni problem hui hum sabko." Arjun and Sameer just control their smiles.
"Raghu!" Coelho scowls at him
"Coelho! Kya galat bol raha hoon main?" Raghu asks.
Ayesha absent mindedly adds "Sir aur jhooth bolna kon sikhta hai? Woh toh spontaneous hota hai." All look at her shocked except Coelho.
"Really Ayesha?" Coelho asks with a smirk.
Ayesha realizes what she just uttered and hence tries to cover it up "Haan?! Mera matlab sir All the Best!"
"Haan Sameer hum sabki taraf se All the Best." Sakshi too adds.
"Thank you." Rathode replies with little nervousness.
"Chalo ab ETF office." Arjun orders Sameer.
"Office kyun?" Rathode asks.
"Yahaan maar khaana pasand nahin karoge na?" Raghu replies to the stupid question of Sameer.
"Hmmm.." Rathode replies very scared.
They all leave from the Central Jail and reach ETF office. The whole ride is dead silent in both cars. Arjun and Raghu are boiling in anger but can't say anything now. Rathode is worried about what is going to happen to him and rest are worried about what is going to happen to Rathode.
