Yours,

Arjun jiju. '

*********

Shree racked his brains. He immediately checked the last call he made. He found it interesting, so he checked his bank transactions. That was much more interesting. He tried to call Arjun but same response-switch off.

"Inhone khudko mere jiju kyun bulaya? Aur England mein inka kya kaam hai? lag to raha hai he is following some trail of sikander... par... do tickets???? Dada ko batau ki nahin???? Nope. Unhone mana kiya hai nahin bataunga..."

****************************************

"dev, tumhe nahin lagta hume unhe Arjun sir kr baare mein bata dena chahiye???"

"have you lost it?? What will you tell them why he went huh? Uska jawab de paogi tum riyia?? Is ek sawaal ke peeche kahi aur sawaal aayenge for which we cannot answer... try to understand..." dev ran his fingers in his hair frustrated and then pulled riya in his arms and hugged her.

"dekho riya, uss waqt mujhe jo sahi laga, maine kiya... you were top priyority for me... ab mujhme itni himmat nahin hai ki main unke sawaalon ke jawaab doon..."

"kaise sawaal dev???"
"yahin ki wo itne mahine kar kya rahe the? Maine hospital mein aisa kyun kiya???etc etc etc... kya kahoonga main?"

"par, I feel guilty dev..."

"don't be. "

****************************************

By this time as per krishna's wishes most things were done. Pallavi and dia were back to sameer and surprisingly there were no more threats for anyone's life. Sameer spoke to bubbly's family and their marriage was fixed, which was due after mr. and mrs.rathod's marriage anniversary. much to their surprise, riya and dev announced their engagement also. Left out was Shree...

He was being attracted to someone... a person close to his jiju...his sister... it was more than attraction and he knew it. But he did not know what she thought of him...so he just sat back and observed her closely...

*****************************************

There was just one week to sameer-pallavi's anniversary.

Entire family wanted to surprise them. Their plan was simple one. Keep them out whole day and decorate house.

Shree was on phone with chotu arguing about some decoration item. He glanced at his lappy and saw an incoming mail. He quickly opened it and as anticipated, it was from Arjun.

He read it

'Shree,

Antivirus alert

4 systems ko virus lagne ka risk hai. And most damge will be done to main computer

Powerful antiviruses activate karao.

8 mahine purana data baseless tha. A clear misinterpretation.

This is accurate. Build firewall

Yours,

Arjun jiju'

"iska kya matlab hai??? 4 systems, 8 month back wala theory... O GOD... 4 SYS matlab bhabhi, dia, riya and anvi... par ye 8 months pehle waala theory kya hai samajh nahin aa raha hai... no time to think. Firewall matlab high security. All these mean only one thing. Sikander is going to strike..."

He ran out of the room and directly went to sameer but seeing him happy after long he could not tell him anything. He then gathered all the others and told them the situation, not disclosing anything about arjun. Chotu immediately activated his informers web and asked them to be on high alert all the time and also arranged for security. These were tactfully handled by shree..

********************

The rest week passed uneventful but Shree chotu and Aisha wee very careful about the securities.

It was sameer pallavi's anniversary, and the team was very busy, handling party preparations and also security matters.

But around 11 in the morning, Shree and chotu were called for some work and riya was with Aisha. Riya was nervous and was constantly fidgeting with the dupatta. Aisha sensing her nervousness kept a palm on her hand and spoke gently

"kya hua riya?? You seem to be worried about something"

"wo Aisha... ajeeb si ghabrahat ho rahi hai mujhe... don't know why.. aur you have even seen Shree and chotu na...they are behaving weird"

Aisha knew the matter so decided to handle gently

"nothing to worry riya...bas relax...riya I received a call from office and commissioner sir has asked to meet him. so please stay here until someone else come. I don't want you to wander off alone... I even need to find anvesha. She told she would be here early in the morning but...even her phone is switched off. I ll leave take care"

With that she went off to commissioner office

Back here riya received a call and phone slipped from her hand.

She immediately picked her phone from ground and took her purse and rushed out with tears in her eyes.

She saw an auto right infront of ETF office and sat in it. "Bhaiyya appolo hospital. Jaldi."

The auto zoomed off followed by two bikes(her bodyguards appointed by chotu). But soon they lost her trail and tried calling chotu.

*********************

Mumbai airport**

A man in his late twenties in a suit and rayban glasses stood to collect his belongings.

"hope I am not late... today is the day...pata nahin wo wahan se kaise nikal gaya..."

"no. we are not late Arjun. We ll keep them safe and track down that bas***d"

"yes. Usne humare zindagiyon ke saath jo bhi kiya, he ll pay for them. Lets go"

*********************

Shree: chotu ye riya and anvesha donon ka number switchoff aa raha hai...

"kya?? Lets go to office first. Jaake dekhenge ki kya baat hai. Shayad wo donon wahii ho"

"yeah you are right."

*********************

"you are not coming to ETF. May be they are keeping a tab on me. With your sources try track him. I need to meet Shree and others in office. Ye sameer bhi phone nahin utha raha hai."

"don't worry. He will be safe.you go to ETF"

**********************

"what on earth are you telling? Where is sameer sir?? Bhabhi and dia?? Oh no... maine tum logon ke kabiliyat pe bharosa kiya aur tum...??? kitne log injured hai?"

"damn. Oki. Try trace them"

"Shree...shree...riya is missing so is anvi"

"wo dono bhi?? Dada and family bhi missing hai"

"oh no... iska matlab"

"HE IS BACK SHREE AND CHOTU...SIKANDER IS BACK aur usi ne sabko kidnap kiya hai..."

"jiju..." Shree ran and hugged him

"Shree... zyada waqt nahin hai. Jaldi Aisha ko bulao. We need to act fast." He received a call. He attached his Bluetooth and spoke

"hmm...oki. aur kuch information mila tumhe? Accha thik hai. I ll be in touch"

He turned back to Shree to saw something but stopped seeing a fuming Aisha barging in and muttering profanities.

"kya he ye sab. Mazak?? ETF ke saath?!! How dare they. Iss time pe ye sab hona tha...(she sees Shree and speaks oblivious to arjun's presence)

"Shree pata karo ke mere number pe call kis kaminey ne kiya tha? I had to face embarrassment infront of commissioner today."

"AISHA agar ye sab badbadana khatm hogaya ho to kya hum log rescue plan discuss Karen? Chotu, apni force ki lead ko bulao. We have less time and..."

Again his phone rand and he went aside to speak.

"Shree, ye kab aaye???"

"thodi der pehle Aisha"

"but hua kya hai? Riya kahan hai?"

"un sab ko sik ne apne kabze mein liya hai. Jiju unko hi rescue karwane aaye hai."

"jiju??!!"

"yeah. Before didi's death, I had called him jiju and even today I continue that" he shrugged his shoulder and immersed himself in his tab and lappy.

"sir... sameer sir ke watch ka location is around chaupati"

"Shree. Wo maine kisi se kehke already retrive karwa liya hai. Only watch was found there and nothing else"

"par sir... aap kaise"

"mere sources aur bhi strong hai Shree. And I have the best person with me..."

"best person???"

"haan. Tumhari usse mulakaat jald hi hogi... I have an information. Kisi ne riya ko ek auto mein jaate hue dekha hai. Pune highway. Checkposts se pata chala hai ki they did not enter puna but have covered more than half way. But yes they are still in the line of vision of the person I told. Comeon now. Conference room"

They all reached conference room but all were very much surprised to see Arjun calm and composed, thinking with cool mind even after hearing name sikander many times.

Shree inwardly smiled at his senior cum jiju...

He had come a long way from a broken man to the person he was now. Shree had many questions with him but waited for the right time as now rescuing his family was more important.

Shree's eyes widened as he saw Arjun speaking to someone and smile broke on his worried face.

'stay safe and keep me updated' was all he heard from Arjun. What was going on????

"Aisha,shree, chotu...sab kahan hai, pata chal chuka hai. I think you have understood what I expect from you right? according to the plan we will move..."
