Neha Shastri is feverishly searching among her trunk and cupboard for old files of their hotel in Nainital. Raj comes in, looking surprised. "Kya dhoond rahi ho?"
Neha: Uss aadmi ka naam, jo iss raat hotel mein night duty par tha….mujhe wo purana register mil hi nahin raha…!!!
Raj: Neha, iss register ka milna toh bahut zaroori hai…..try to remember…..kahaan ho sakta hai?
Neha: (frowning) Uss time ki baaki saari files toh yahin trunk mein hai…..lekin ussi month ki nahin mil rahi….kahin Anuj ke wo file destroy toh nahin kar di??
They stare at each other for a moment, dread in their eyes. Then Neha utters a little shriek.
Neha: Oh God…..mujhe yaad aa gaya….uss month Anuj ko darr tha ki tax raid pad sakti hai….issliye unhone wo register wahaan se hata kar, uski jagah doosra register rakha tha, jisme renovations ke naam par uss mahine koi occupancy hi nahin dikhayi thi…..
Raj: Toh phir…..asli register kahaan hai?
Neha sinks on to the bed and utters a groan. "Wo file toh Anuj ne destoy hi kar di thi……unhe darr tha, ki kahin taz officials ke haath asli information na pahunch jaye….ab wo register, kabhi nahin milega!"
Raj stares at her in despair.😭
Armaan is holding Jassi's shoulders and telling her that she needs to be careful. She sighs and looks half-defiantly at him.
Jassi: Armaan…..tumhe darne ki koi zaroorat nahin! Ab toh Gajanan Kaka bhi hamare saath hai….hum CJ ko sazaa dilvaane se zyada door nahin hai…..
Armaan: (in exasperation) Yahin toh tum nahin samajh rahi ho Jassi….G Kaka ke hamare saath hone se, khatra aur badh gaya hai…..kyunki CJ ke jasoos, zaroor Oberoi Industries mein honge….aur tum unse milogi, unke saath information share karogi, toh yeh khabar CJ tak zaroor pahunchegi……
Jassi: Yahi toh hum chaate hai Armaan! …..Ki wo sab jaan kar, darr jaye aur kuch aisa kar baithe, jisse hume uske khilaaf saboot mil jaye…! At least….hume yeh toh pata chalega, ki CJ ke saath-saath kaun log shaamil hai…..
Armu: Jassi! Yeh sab itna aasaan nahin! CJ bahut chaalak hai…..uske khilaaf saboot dhoonda aasaan nahin hai….aur jahaan tak uske saathiyon ki baat hai, unhe toh G Kaka ya Meera ji hi pehchaan sakte hai….hum unhe kaise pehchaanenge? Hume toh uske doston, uske contacts ke baare mein kuch bhi nahin pata….
Jassi: (thoughtfully) Hmmm…..you're right, Armaan…..mujhe toh CJ ke baare mein sirf itna hi pata hai, ki usse Oberoi uncle ne adopt kiya tha…..wo Purab ka dost tha…aur Nainital mein Purab ke set up kiye hue orphanage mein donations deta tha…..
She stops short, a queer expression on her face. A worried Armaan pulls her closer. "Kya hua Jassi? Tum itni shocked kyun lag rahi ho?"
Jassi: Armaan! Parvatlal!!
Armu: Parvatlal? Kaun…..wo Traders' Association wala….jisne mujhe bribe dene ki koshish ki thi….. (makes a disgusted expression)
Jassi: Armaan….mujhe Nainital se yaad aaya…..Parvatlal mujhe aaj Oberoi Industries mein mila tha….!
She quickly tells him about that morning's encounter. Armaan is shocked and worried. Impulsively, he seizes her and hugs he against his chest, murmuring, "Jassi…..please, meri baat maano…..tum mujhe aur Raj ko yeh case handle karne do…..yahaan pata nahin kin-kin logon se tumhara samna ho raha hai…….i don't want anything to happen to my Jassi……." He kisses her hair and she, like a kitten, snuggles closer, closing her eyes. ❤️
Tomorrow: Jassi in danger??
