Segment #24

"I'm hungry, what's for dinner?" Ishaan asked, lazing on the couch.

"Khichdi? I'm thinking of Kheer for dezert." (Pronounced like desert)

"It's dessert. Desert is like Gobi and Sah-"

"Gobi ka kya? First of all I don't even like gobi. It tastes so bland." Darshan looked at Ishaan who burst into a hysterical laughter. "Why are you laughing?"

"I-" Ishaan took a breath, composed himself from the laugh. "My bad. I was only trying to correct your pronunciation. Should've used a better example."

"World geography isn't my thing so, I'm still not sure what you were laughing about." Darshan looked at him cluelessly.

"Gobi is a desert in Mongolia and China."

"Oh!" Darshan's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Ishaan sat upright. "I'll help you with cooking."

"No, I don't like it."

"Why?"

"Just a thing, I feel that it's distracting."

"I am distracting you? Now that's some news." Ishaan looked at his face in the mirror.

"Not you, anyone. When I'm cooking, I like to do it on my own." Darshan rushed into the kitchen. What is wrong with you? Darshan slapped his head. He portioned rice and was washing it as he felt a presence behind him. Darshan turned around and jumped, seeing Ishaan next to him.

"You okay?" Ishaan furrowed his brows.

"Stop sneaking on me."

"I came here to drink water." Ishaan filled himself a glass of water and walked out.

___

'What are you doing here?' Darshan's mother looked up.

'I wanted water.' A teenage Darshan told his mom.

'How many times I've told you, if you need something just ask me or the servants. Don't bother yourself.'

'Mom! I'm twelve, I can get myself a glass of water. Please.'

'Darshan, you are a boy. In our house, boys and men don't do household chores. It is a woman's job.'

'But mom-'

'Go, play your video games dear. I'll send water, juice and some snacks for you.'

___

Later that night, Veda opened her eyes as she heard a soft thud against her window. She clutched her knife and waited for some movement of the intruder. She saw a shadow move behind her and it attacked her.

Veda swiftly blocked the attack and jumped on the attacker. After a few blows on both sides, Veda pinned down the attacker. She reached for her cuffs and put them on. She turned on the lights to get a clear look.

"Ayesha?" Veda saw her face. "What are you, Flash?"

"You'll be six feet under and nobody will ever know you existed."

"Your hands are locked."

"I don't need my hands to kill you." Ayesha lied on her back and kicked Veda with both feet.

Veda landed on the floor with a broken jaw. She texted a SOS to Ishaan before resuming her fight.

Ayesha got up on her feet and tried kicking her again but Veda blocked and twisted her leg. She picked up a mosquito repellent spray and lighter, made a makeshift flamethrower to attack Ayesha.

___

Ishaan groaned as his phone buzzed. He slowly moved Darshan's hand from his chest and reached for his phone. He saw Veda's message and picked up his gun.

"Ish, where are you goin'" Darshan opened his eyes groggily.

"Stay alert, I'll be back soon." Ishaan left.

___

I hope y'all got the Gobi mixup and thought it was hilarious too 🙈👀

Segment #25

When Ishaan entered the house, Ayesha was on the floor, screeching. Her face was burnt. Veda was tieing her to the table, ignoring her screams.

"Are you ok?" Ishaan asked and she nodded, tightening a knot.

She gave the other woman another spiteful look and stood up.

"You know no one can save you, yet you were dumb enough to attack me?" She asked and walked away. Ishaan almost winced. This job was ruthless, he knew, but sometimes he forgot how much ruthless it made people.

"What are you going to do about her?"

"I have called the police station, they'll be sending a team soon." She answered as she passed him a glass of water.

"You are going to get her arrested?"

"Of course, she attacked a police officer."

"So she is no longer useful?" Ishaan asked, reading between the lines.

"You know?"

"It's obvious. Your ambition was always greater than anything, was more important to you. You weren't following Bossa or Simba, you were protecting them."

Veda smirked and drank some water.

"Are you going to turn me in?"

"I have no proof." He shrugged. "And I have learned it the hard way, this system isn't messed up as people think, it's well functioning if you mess up and try to make it right, you'll just be replaced."

"You were the brightest of our batch, just a little too noble. Glad you started seeing sense." Veda answered and raised her empty glass to toast him.

"You were never going to let the case go, were you?"

Now it was Ishaan's turn to smirk.

"I should have known. You were obsessed with solving the unsolvable case that Diwedi Sir had given and had tried to solve it, even though the rest of the batch had given up."

"I wasn't obsessed. I just thought it had to have an answer."

"Did you find one?"

But before he could answer, Ayesha gave in to her pain and fainted.

"Do what's right, Veda, for once," Ishaan said. The police sirens became louder as if to echo his statement. Veda looked away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What was all that about? I was worried?" Darshan asked Ishaan the second he entered the flat.

"Are you ok?"

"They arrested Ayesha," Ishaan answered. He looked at Darshan who was looking at him in shock and the cheered happily.

"What? How? Tell me everything."

And in that second, the reality hit Ishaan. Both the women who had killed his friends were behind bars. Granted, they had a chance to go scot-free, manipulate the law, and use money and power to run away, but he had done it, he had given his friends justice and in the right way.

"It'll be over soon." He said as raised his hand to touch Ishaan, but he couldn't, his heartbeat had suddenly elevated and he realized how close he was to Ishaan, not physically, but emotionally.

"You should get some sleep, it was a long night." Ishaan nodded.

As Ishaan started walking to the bedroom, Darshan's burner phone beeped. He sighed in relief as he saw the known phone number of the sender.

We haven't spoken for a long time, but I was catching up on our favorite TV show, the one about the rich businessman whose child is kidnapped, remember? The child is still away, but the informer got paid and is safe. Hope you are liking the show too.

"Ishaan,I think Simba kidnapped Aarav."

Ohho, interesting c'est plus!!!

Veda being grey or darker was a good one. I love badass women ☺️

Darsh-Ish are gonna be so good together 😭😭😭 I wanna add some angst but nahi karna cuz they've suffered too much already 🙈 Schrodinger's fluff v angst 🤣

I hope Aarav is chilling with his uncle 😆

Koi hai ki apan dono hi pass pass khel rahe? 😆

But before he could answer, Ayesha gave in to her pain and fainted.

Idhar Veda hona chahiye?
