IPKKND FF: Trial by fire Part 33 updated on Pg 84 - Page 9

"Chotey, dont look so worried, its no use worrying about things you dont know. The babies will be okay. Lets focus on Khushi now.", Anjali linked her hands with Arnav and consoled. It was decided that Akash would drop Maami ji and Anjali ji at Shaantivan, pick up Naani ji and the Guptas to bring them back to the hospital before close of visiting hours. Payal and Arnav sat down on each side of Khushi and started the long wait for her to stir, to make some kind of movements. In the face of Arnav's devastation, it was left to Payal to be the stronger person, consoling him that Khushi was going to be okay.

Naaniji, Mama ji were shocked and not too happy that they had not been informed immediately...But they understood that the priority at that time was Khushi. They immediately got ready to leave to pick up the Guptas on the way.

"Maamiji, I was supposed to meet Kamala ji to hand over some money to her at 7 pm today near the Gurudwara. I want you to meet her instead of me so that in case I have to go into the hospital early for baby, you can be Kamalaji's point of contact. She would trust another woman.", Anjali asked, taking charge immediately. Maami agreed checking off a checklist to change and remove all her usual fancy jewelry, "Who knows how people's minds change seeing all our riches! So detective Mano"roma" goink undercover!" Manorama said blowing off the smoke from an imaginary pistol. "Trust maamiji to always bounce back, great coping mechanism", thought Anjali with a small smile.

*******
Anjali had given maami ji a cell phone specifically for use in Operation Black Knight (reference to Shyam!). Mami ji called Kamala's number that had been pre-programmed into the phone and arranged to meet her near an abandoned house in the gallis (streets) behind the Gurudwara. Mami had some difficulties getting to the meeting point, and when she reached there, she was to receive another shock of her life. She quickly hid herself behind a wall. She saw a lady who she figured was Kamala arguing with someone in the falling darkness. She thought she heard Shyam's voice, wasnt sure and hence peeked out. "I swear, I just got here because I got some call. I thought it was you asking me to meet you here. There was some man and I thought it was you.", Kamala gasped...Her hand was caught in a vice-like grip by Shyam. "Well I am here, and I did not call you. So, who is the other person? I have been having my doubts about you for some time now and today's client loss proves it." There was a scuffle and then a long drawn-out moan. Maami peeked again and was shocked, she could just make out the gleaming knife in Shyam's hand that he had just plunged into Kamala and drawn back out. In the darkness, maami had great presence of mind to turn on the phone and take a series of pictures. Thankfully, the silent phone didnt make a peep and just stored all the pictures for future use.
