Here comes the voice from other end.
Lekin mein iss waqt ka kabse intezaar kar raha tha, finally woh waqt aaj aa hi gaya.
With that he switched on the light.
Flashback...
9 am
Sameer's phone rang
Sameer: ETF chief Sameer Dam Singh Rathod
Sikander: Hello chief
Sameer: Who is speaking?
Sikaner: Your best friend's friend...Sikander bol raha hoon
Sameer: How dare you call me?
Sikander: Why getting mad Chief. I have something for you. I know you will definitely want this
Sameer: what the hell are you talking about?
Sikaner: Ayesha Kapoor
There was silence at other end.
Sameer: Kameene, agar Ayesha kuch hua toh dekhna meh tera kya haal karo ga
Sikander: Cool down. Abhi toh kuch nahin hua, agar tumne meri baat nahin maani toh shayad tum usse kabhi nahin dekh sako ge.
Sameer: What do you want?
Sikander: First time right question..You are intelligent man. No wonder you are chief of ETF.
Sameer: Don't test my patience..Tell me where is Ayesha and what do you want
Sikaner: Arjun...
Sameer: What
Sikander: Agar apne pyaar and apni hone waali biwi ko bachana chate ho toh you have to kill your best friend Arjun. Finish him and take your beloved from me.
There was complete silence
Sameer: What the hell are you saying?
Sikander: Wrong question again Chief. Don't test my patience. Bring Arjun to a place that I am going to tell you and kill him there. I will call back in 15 minutes to know your decision. Whether your answer is yes or no, in both the circumstances your pretty officer/finance will reach ETF quarters. You will have to decide whether you want to see her alive or dead. Decision is upto you.
With that he hanged up the call.
At the other side
Man: Boss what you think, will he agree to our demands?
Sikander: Manega kaise nahin, Dost dost hota aur pyaar pyaar. I know he will choose his love. Sab ko plan samjha diya nah? As soon as he will bring Arjun to the place and kill him, you guys will kidnap ETF chief. Before we kill him, we will make him do that Vikram was suppose to do in Mumbai. Everything clear?
Man: Yes Boss
9:05 am
Sameer comes to conference hall and one look at his face, Arjun knew something was very wrong.
Arjun: Kya hua Sam? Why you look so worried?
Sam: Arjun woh..woh...
Arjun: Bolte kyun nahin Sam. Bolo kya hua
Sam: Ayesha
Arjun: Kya hua Ayesha ko..Tell me Sameer
Sam: Ayesha has been kidnapped and he narrated the entire phone call with Sikander even including his demand of bringing Arjun to a place and killing him too.
Everybody was shocked after hearing what Sameer said.
Shree had already started tracing the call and also was tracking the transmitter he had given to Ayesha hoping it would still be there.
Shree: Call trace ho gaya hai sir and his location and Ayesha's transmitter location is same.
Arjun: When he calls now, you will say yes. You will tell him that you are ready to bring me to the place and you are also ready to kill me.
Sameer: What the hell are you saying Arjun. Mein aisa kuch nahin karoo ga.
Arjun: Tum aisa hi karo ge. Mein nahin chahta ki tum doosre " Arjun" aur Ayesha doosri " Roshini" bane.
Sameer: Agar yeh kismat mein lika hai toh yeh hi sahi. I won't do it.
Arjun: You will...
Shree: Please sir, whenever he calls you now, atleast talk to him for 2 minutes, try to indulge him in the talk so that I can trace his call again. Please sir.
9:15 am
Sameer's phone rang again exactly after 15 minutes.
Sikander: Kya faisala kiya tumne.
Sameer: Tum mera faisala jaante ho. Mein aisa kuch nahin karoga
Sikander: I am sure tumne soch samaj kar yeh faisala liya hai. Lekin Afsoos tum apni kabil officer or hone waali biwi se haath do baitho ge.
Suddenly Arjun took phone call from Sameer
Arjun: Nahin Sikander aisa kuch nahin karoge. Sameer will do as you are telling him. I am ready to come wherever you are telling me to come. Please Ayesha ko kuch nahin karna.
Sameer: Nahin Arjun. Shut up. Mein aisa kuch nahin karoga.
Arjun: Nahin Sameer, agar kismat mein yahin likka hai toh yeh hi sahi.
Sikander: Band karo apni nautaunki. Yeh Akri mauka hai. Tell me Yes or No
Arjun: Yes.
Sikander: Very good ACP Arjun..pehli baar tumne akal ki baat ki hai. Sameer, tum Arjun ko lekar sehar se bahar SSS Warehouse mein aayo ge. Lekin akele. Kuch hosiyari mat karna. Mein tum par poori nazar hai. Agar mujhe ek second ke liye bhi laga tum kuch ghadbad kar rahe ho, I will kill your precious officer.
With that line went dead.
At the other side
Sikander: Jaise hi yeh ETF headquarters se nikle ge, one car will follow them continuously. I want every minute details.
Man: Yes boss.
Shree: Sir Call trace ho gaya, but the strange thing is the location he asked you to bring Arjun sir is different from the location of him and Ayesha's transmitter and I am not seeing any moment at all at this mobile right now either.
Arjun: That's his plan Shree. He had deliberately given Sameer's different location than where he is now so that even if we try to bring back up, we won't be able to find him there. Give me his location now Shree.
Shree gave him the location of Sikander.
With that he opened the map.
Listen to me guys carefully
The way to go to where Sikander is right now and SSS warehouse is same. Chotu arrange four black SUV where no ETF should be written. Me and Sameer will leave in first car from the front door and you guys will leave in one SUV, two people will be in second SUV and one back team will be in third SUV. You guys will leave from secret exit of ETF so that if he has his people in front of ETF headquarters, they don't see you guys leaving.
We will take following route, he said pointing the route on the map. In another 15 minutes, around 9.30, on this route there is minister's rally today. Minister's security will be in black SUV too, same like we will be in. I am pretty sure he will have someone who will be following us when me and Sameer will leave the ETF headquarters. As soon as he will receive the news of minister's rally and traffic jam, he will call Sameer to take alternate route and when he will call, I will call you Shree. One SUV in which there will be two people, only that will make a U-turn and will take the alternate route and we all will still go on the same route and will reach at the place where Sikander is. The other SUV will reach SSS warehouse and send another back up team there too who will arrest if any of Sikander men is there. I hope everybody is clear. I don't want any mistakes.
With that Arjun looked at Sameer: Sam mein Ayesha ko kuch nahin hone doonga.
Sameer: Mein jaanta hoon Arjun. Lekin mein tumhe bhi kuch nahin hone de sakta. Please Arjun ...
Arjun: tum ready ho jaayo Sam. Mein abhi aata hoon.
With that he went to his cabin. He took out Roshini's picture from the drawer of his desk and said: Roshini finally time has come. Mein tumhare maut ka badla lene ja raha hoon aur Ayesha ko bhi bachana hai. Mein Sam ki kushiyon ke kuch nahin hone doonga. Shyaad aaj in sab ke baad mera tum se milne ka waqt aa gaya hai.
Suddenly he saw a reflection in Roshini's picture. The reflection was of Sakshi. He kept the picture back and turned around. His eyes met of Sakshi's. Today he saw ajeeb sa darr in her eyes. Usually she is so confident. Why is she sacred today?
Sakshi finally time hai come when we will be able to catch him and punish him for ruining our families.
Sakshi: hmmm
With that she came forward and held his wrist.
Sakshi: Mein jaanti hoon, tum in sab mein believe nahin karte lekin, Yeh raksha daaga hai, it will protect you. With that she tied a holy tread around his wrist.
Arjun left to go with Sameer.
Sakshi saw him leaving the room. Please Arjun please waapis aajana.
kaise mai tumse ye kahu
jan ho tum or dil bhi tum
tum bin ab jau kaha
rah bhi tum manjil bhi tum
kaise mai tumse ye kahu
jan ho tum or dil bhi tum
tum bin ab jau kaha
rah bhi tum manjil bhi tum
mujhko ye jindagi lagti hai ajnabi
chaw bhi dhup bhi har naye pal hai nayi
chaw bhi dhup bhi har naye pal hai nayi
She picked up Roshini's picture that was lying there.
Sakshi: Roshiniji mein sun liya tha, what he was saying to you. Please meri aap se request hai, aap please Arjun ko Kuch nahin hone dena. Please Roshiniji. Aap toh upar rabji ke pass hi ho. Agar kisi bullet par Arjun ka naam likha bhi hoga, aap use badal kar mera kar dena. Please Roshiniji, Agar Arjun ko kuch ho gaya toh, meri zindagi ek baar phir se katam ho jaaye gi. Mein aur logo ko kuch hote hue nahin dekh sakti, jin se mein pyaar karti hoon.
With that she kept the photo on the table and left to leave too with Chotu, Shree and Liza.
9:30 am
Arjun and Sameer left office. The place was 30 minutes away from ETF headquarters.
9:45 am
Sameer phone rang again.
Sikander: Why did you take that route? Dekhlo Sameer don't try to double cross me.
Sameer: Nahin yahi route toh hai aur humhe nahin bata tha, ki yahan par minister's rally will be going on.
Sikander: Dekho stop this nonsense and turn your car around and take the alternate route.
Sameer: Ok
With that he disconnected the phone.
As planned, Arjun asked the second SUV to turn around and all the three SUV's still went on the same route.
Sikander's phone rang again. It was call from the man who was following Arjun and Sameer's car.
Man: Boss they have turned car.
Sikander: Ok keep on following them
10:00 am
They reached the place where Sikander was supposed to be in and also where Ayesha's transmitter was.
They very stealthily went in and tried to find Ayesha. After looking for around 15 minutes, they finally found Ayesha and rescued her and now it was the time to wait. Arjun was sure very soon Sikander will know that Sameer and himself have not reached at SSS warehouse and he will definitely come here to kill Ayesha. But this time he will be waiting for him. He still remembered how he was waiting for him at their house last time and how he killed Roshini at their house. Today was also the same scenario, the only thing that was different was today, he was waiting for him and not other way around.
10:15 am
Sikander phone rang again.
Man: Boss woh log paunch gaye hain...We missed them for few minutes but the car is standing outside. But nobody is coming out.
Sikander: What the hell. Go to the car and check.
Man: Yes Boss.
Man: Nobody is inside the car.
Sikander: What the hell. Check the area and inside the warehouse.
Man: Boss nobody is here. Sab check kar liya hai. Dono police waale is not around.
10:20 am
Sikander: Sikander se dhoka. How dare they double cross me? Lagta hai they did not take me seriously.
Man: Boss kahin woh yahin toh nahin arahe.
Sikander: Nahin How will they know of this place? But I am not going to take any risk. We will leave this place immediately.
Man: Boss woh ladki ka kya karna hai?
Sikander: Wohi, Kill her and aur we will throw her body at ETF headquarters. Then only they will learn their lesson. How dare they?
With that he went to the room where Ayesha was kept. It was dark room.
He opened the door. The room was pitch dark.
Sikander: Lagta hai tumhare hone waale pati ko tum se zyaada apne dost ki jaan pyaari hai, tabhi he double crossed me. Sorry baby you have to die. Maine socha tha isme abhi waqt hai, lekin Sameer Dam Singh Rathod yeh waqt jaldi le aaya.
Here comes the voice from other end.
Lekin mein iss waqt ka kabse intezaar kar raha tha, finally woh waqt aaj aa hi gaya.
With that he switched on the light.
