Update - 167 ~ Unannounced Departure​

Ab tak...

Car me baithate hue usne saamne rakha ek lifaafe ki orr dekha.

'I wonder uss Tamanna ka kya reaction hoga inhe dekhne ke baad?'

[I take my words back. Woh Aadesh tumhare saamne kuch bhi nahi. The real sly fox is you.]

Veer muskuraya aur car chaalu kar woh apne agle target ki orr chal diya.

Ab aage...

Las Vegas...
Investigation Department...
Night ~ 9:36 PM

Department me HOD ke cabin ka darwaza khula aur andar ki orr jhaakte hue Divya ne pucha.

"Aapne mujhe bulaya Sir?"

Iss waqt use department se call aaya tha. Woh nahi jaanti thi ki kya baat thi magar, itna zaroor usne kahi na kahi andaza laga liya tha ki call zaroor kisi case ki wajah se hi aaya hoga.

Nolan (nods) : Come in!

Ijazat milte hi Divya haami bhar andar cabin me daakhil hui. Investigation Department ke Head Nolan kisi pareshani me lag rahe the. Divya ke aate hi unhone use seat par baithne ka ishaara kiya.

Divya : Kuch hua hai kya Sir?




Nolan ne ek gehri saans li. Unke haath me kuch kaagzaat maujood the. Ek envelope. Woh apni kursi par baithe aur bole,

Nolan : Mein tumhe ye pehle hi bata dena chahta tha Divya. Magar, andar se mann nahi kar raha tha. Mein tumhe jaane nahi dena chaahta.

Divya : Mein kuch samjhi nahi Sir.

Nolan : Ise padho! Sab samajh jaogi.

Kehte hue unhone woh envelope Divya ke haatho me thama diya. Envelope ko savdhaani se kholte hue Divya ne ek letter baahar nikala.

Letter jaise hi usne padhna shuru kiya, uske hosh hi udd gaye. Kahi khushi, kahi duwidha, kahi thoda confusion. Yahi kuch bhaav the uske abhi.

Use 'Foreign Bureau for Crime Control' (FBCC) ki taraf se ek offer aaya tha.




FBCC ek aisa bureau tha jo internationally crimes ko observe karta tha aur apna yogdaan deta tha.

Agar crime itna bada hai ki sheher ki police aur investigation team uski gutthi ko hal nahi kar paa rahi toh FBCC se woh madad maangti thi. Uske baad FBCC apne agents me se kuch agents ko uss crime ke liye niyukt kar deti thi.

Kuch yahi procedure tha FBCC ka. Harr agent ek profesional hota tha. FBCC duniya ke sabhi bade desho ke members ikhatta kar ke hi sthaapit ki gayi thi. Inka maqsad hi duniya me Crime ko control karna tha.

Jaise jaise letter Divya padhti gayi wese wese uske aur bhi hosh udd rahe the. Na sirf FBCC House of the killers case se waaqif thi balki, woh khud dakhal de chuki thi. Aur toh aur Paris me hue Crimson dwara rocket launcher waale attack ki bhi jaanch kar chuki thi. Peeth peeche wo kya kya kar rahi thi iski thodi bahut jankaari Divya ko letter padh ke lag rahi thi.

Duniya ke kis kone me kya crime ho raha tha iski khabar unhe kaise bhi kar ke lag jaaya karti thi. Bas, dikkat ye thi ki FBCC sirf bade cases se hi deal karti thi. Kyuki, sadhaaran aur mamooli cases toh sabhi hal kar liya karte the.

Divya ke harr cases ki jankaari unhe pehle se hi pata thi. Kisne kitna yogdaan diya hua tha, FBCC sab record rakhti thi. Aur, isi ke chalte use ye offer aaya tha.

Divya jaisi calibre ki ek detective FBCC me apni jagah rakhne ke laayak thi. Na ki Las Vegas ke chhote se ek crime department me. Aisa isliye, kyuki Veer ka naam cases me zyada highlight nahi kiya gaya tha. Usne madad zaroor ki thi parantu, asli credit Divya ko hi diya gaya tha. Department me kahi na kahi ye baat sabhi jaante the. Magar, iska matlab ye nahi tha ki Divya Veer se kam talented thi.

FBCC se judne ke kayi faayde the. Bada padd, adhik aamdani, bada rutba, sammaan, aur bade starr ke cases.

Ek thrill dhoondhne waale detective ke liye ekdum uttam post. Divya yahi thi. Jitne jatil cases, utna hi adhik wo unhe enjoy karti thi. Parantu, faayde ke saath nuksaan bhi aate the.

Adhik kaam, aur zyaada zimmedariya. Thodi si choonk aur jaan jaane ka khatra. Aur toh aur woh ab apne sheher me nahi reh sakti thi. Alag alag cases ke liye use alag alag jagaho ka bhramad karna hi hoga. Divya sabhi baato ka aaklan kar rahi thi.

Nolan shayad ye nahi chaahte the ki woh Divya jaisi detective ko jaane de. Magar, unke haath me bhi kuch nahi tha. Divya ek private detective thi. Na ki department ki ek employee. Ye baat FBCC ko bhi gyaat thi. Aur, isliye unhone directly ye letter bhej diya tha.

Shuruaat se hi Divya department ki aadh me inn cases me hissa leti thi jiske chalte department ne uske liye ek ID bana di thi. Parantu, officially wo kabhi bhi iss department ki sadasya nahi thi. Aur, isliye Nolan chaah ke bhi Divya ko rok nahi sakte the.

Shayad ab unhe iss baat ka pacchtava ho raha tha ki unhone samay rehte Divya ko department se kyu nahi judne diya? Ek waqt tha jab saara department inn private detectives ko ghrina ki bhaavna se dekhta tha. Kuch log toh jalan ke maare aaj bhi ye bhaav rakhte the parantu, adhiktar logo me ab badlaav aa chuka tha.

'House of the killers' jaise cases ko suljhaane ke baad Divya unki nazro me izzat ki haqdaar bann chuki thi. Aur, woh ab ye baat samajh chuke the ki Divya aaj jo kuch bhi praapt kar rahi thi uske peeche uski apni mehnat aur lagan thi.

Usne letter ko wapas se envelope me daal saamne baithe Nolan ko dekha.

Divya : Ye aapke paas kab aaya Sir?

Nolan (sighs) : Kal hi aa gaya tha. Aur, maine padh bhi liya tha. Maafi chaahta hu. Mein jaanta hu Divya tumhara nirnay kya hone waala hai. Mein bas ye chaahta tha ki kaash-!! Kaash tum thoda aur hamare saath rehti. Thoda aur samay guzaarti.

Nolan ye baat jaante the ki Divya kis raaste ka chayan karne waali thi. FBCC ka nyota aankhein moond ke sweekar karne jaisa tha. Aur, Divya ko jaise aise hi sunehre mauke ki talaash thi.

Divya : I'm sorry Sir! Mein jaanti hu aap kya soch rahe hai. Par-!!

Nolan : Arre nahi nahi! Isme maafi kya maangna? Tumhara poora haq hai.

Divya (nods) : Hmm! Ye mere liye bhi ek bahut badi opportunity hai. Honestly, mein waha pe kaam kar ke dekhna chaahti hu.

Nolan : Aur tumhe karna bhi chahiye. Aise mauke baar baar nahi aate. Ye toh hamare department ke liye ek garv ki baat hai ki yaha se koi FBCC me gaya. Bhale hi tum officially member nahi thi department ki lekin maine tumhe hamesha isi department ka hi maana hai Divya.

Divya (smiles) : Mein jaanti hu Sir. And, thanks for all your support.

Nolan : Hmm! Aur, isi ke saath ab dusra letter bhi dedu?

Divya : Dusra?

Nolan muskuraaye aur unhone apni table par rakhe telephone se phone ko uthaya aur baahar se kisi ko andar bhejne ke liye kaha.

"May I come in Sir?"

Aur, bilkul...! Kuch derr baad ek jaani pehchaani awaaz Divya ke kaan me padi. Palat ke dekha toh paaya ki-

Andar aane waala shaks koi aur nahi balki Mike tha.

Divya : Mike?

Nolan (smiles) : Iss dusre letter ka haqdaar.

Unhone apni coat ke andar ki jeb se ek envelope nikaalte hue kaha.

Divya : Ohh! Aapka matlab-!?

Nolan : Congratulations, Mike! You have been promoted.

Mike : Huh???

Divya (smiles) : Congrats Mike!

Mike : What??? M-Me-!!???

Divya (smiles) : Of course!

Mike : Oh god!! I-I-!!! I'm speechless.

Nolan : Hahaha! You deserve it Mister. You folks enjoy it. I have some urgent matters.

Kehte hue Nolan apne cabin se nikal gaye. Aur, baaki bache Divya aur Mike apne apne promotion ki baato me lag gaye.

Magar, duwidha Mike ke liye nahi thi. Asli dikkat ka saamna toh ab Divya ko karna tha. Aur, uss dikkat ka naam tha~

Nick!

Divya ka apna pati. Woh toh wese hi inferiority complex ka shikaar tha. Uski khud ki patni uss se aage thi aur adhik kama rahi thi iss baat se hi uska maatha aaye din garam rehta tha.

Bhala iss baare me jaan ke kya ravaiyya hone waala tha uska? Divya isi uljhan me fasi hui thi. Jab use pata chalega ki FBCC ki taraf se uski patni ko nyota aaya hai toh kaise pesh aayega woh?

Woh turant hi department chorr apne ghar ke liye nikli. Kuch shan ki derri me woh ghar pahuch bhi gayi. Nick ghar ke andar hi tha. Haath me wahi envelope liye Divya ghar me pravesh ki.

Hall me aate hue usne apne pati Nick ko dekha jo wahi sofe par baith ke ek haath se sandwich kha raha tha aur dusre se laptop chala raha tha. Aahat paate hi Nick ne bhi darwaaze ki orr dekha,

Nick : Aa gayi tum?

Divya (nods) : Hmm!

Nick : Itni raat me uss khadoos Nolan ne kyu bula liya tumhe bhala?

Divya thodi asmanjas me thi. Usne pehle apna bag wahi table par rakha aur fir Nick se dur agle sofe par baith gayi.

Divya : Mujhe ek offer aaya hai.

Nick (glances) : Ohh! Kaun sa offer?

Divya (gehri saans lete hue) : Tum allow karoge na?

Nick : Hmm? Kyu? Aisa kya hai jo meri permission leni pad rahi hai tumhe?

Divya (frowns) : Hai ek offer! Sir ne abhi usi ke liye bulaaya tha. Ek letter aaya hai mere liye.

Nick : Kiski taraf se?

Divya : FBCC!

Naam sunte hi Nick ka haath jo laptop par chal raha tha woh rukk gaya aur woh ek taq Divya ko dekhne laga. Usne apna aadha sandwich neeche plate par rakha, apne haath jhatkaare aur khada hua. Woh Divya ke nazdeek aane laga.

Divya bechain ho uthi. Uska dil zorro se dhadak raha tha. Nick uske bagal se aake virajman hua aur ek haath se Divya ke gaal par haath le jaate hue woh uske baalo ko peeche karne laga. Uske sparsh se Divya apna chehra halka sa mod uss se dur hui par alag nahi hui.

Nick : Meri biwi ko FBCC se offer aaya hai?

Divya : H-Haan!

Nick : Ohh! Ye toh bahut hi khushi ki baat hai. Hai na?

Kehte hue woh lagatar uske gal ko sehlaaye jaa raha tha. Divya ke badan par ruye khade ho rahe the.

Nick : Jis aadmi ne apni biwi ko detective banane ka raasta dikhaya. Jis ne use saare paitre sikhaaye, aaj uske liye FBCC se offers aa rahe hai. Bahut khushi ki baat hai. Hai na?

Divya maun thi. Woh Nick ko padh nahi paa rahi thi. Ye zaroor jaan gayi thi ki uska pati uski safalta se khush nahi tha. Kahi na kahi Nick ka ego hurt hua tha.

Parantu, sehlaate sehlaate Nick ki pakad achanak hi badh gayi. Divya hadbadayi magar Nick ne uske gaalo ko kass ke pakad use thaam rakha.

Nick : Aisa kyu hota hai Divya? Huh? Ek aadmi sab kuch kar raha hai par uske baare me agla soch bhi nahi raha. Log uski taraf dekhna bhi nahi chaahte. Wahi jis aurat ko uss aadmi ne banaya uske peeche log marr rahe hai. Hmm? Aisa kyu hai Divya?

House of the killers ke dauran hi Nick ka ravaiyya battar hota jaa raha tha. Aur, ab toh woh ek alag hi insaan me tabdeel ho chuka tha Divya ke liye. Ek ajnabee. Jis se Divya ko ab darr lagne laga tha.

Divya (panics) : Ugh!!! N-Nickkkk!!! Nick-!!! Y-You are hurting me!!!

Woh hadbadaate hue uske haath ko pakdi. Pakad bahut mazboot ho gayi thi. Magar, Nick ka haath tass se mass nahi ho raha tha. Uski awaaz me ab gurrahat thi. Nazre Divya ke chehre par aise tiki thi jaise maano woh kisi laash ko dekh raha ho.

Nick : K-Kyu hai aisa Divya? Hmm?

Divya (screams) : Niccckkkkkk!!! Ch-Chorroooo!!!!

Nick : Why? Divya!!?

Divya ka ek haath tabhi sofe ke bagal se rakhi table par gaya aur uski pakad me wahi rakhi ek ash tray aa gayi.

*Claaaaaaannnnkkkkk*

Nick : Urrrrghhhh!!

Nick achanak hi apna sarr malte hue peeche ho gaya. Divya ne wo ash tray seedhe uske sarr pe de maari thi. Woh lambi lambi saansein le, haafte hue apne nichle jabde ko pakad dehshat me Nick ko ghoor rahi thi.

Divya (yells) : What’s wrong with you??? Tumhara dimaag toh theek hai na?

Nick : Ah! Well! I didn’t mean sweetie-!! Tum jaanti ho mein aisa nahi karta, right? It just happened.

Woh punah apna haath aage badha ke uski orr laaya par iss baar Divya sakhti se pesh aayi. Woh khadi hote hue boli,

Divya : Stay away Nick!!!

Nick : ??

Divya : Mein tumse permission maangne waali thi. Par ab nahi! Ab sirf bata rahi hu. FBCC mujhe agent ke roop me rakhna chaahti hai aur mein kuch hi dino me nikal jaungi. You get that?

Kehte hue woh palat ke jaane lagi. Nick use peeche se ghoor raha tha. Par, abhi woh upar ke floor par jaane ke liye seedhiyo tak pahcuhi hi thi ki peeche se fir awaaz aayi,

Nick : Well! Tumne decision le hi liya hai toh bhala mein kaise mana kar sakta hu? But…!

Divya mudi nahi! Woh intezaar kar rahi thi Nick ki baat ke khatam hone ka.

Nick (smirks) : Tumhe pata hai na ki tumhe kya karna hai harr mahine?

Ek kapti muskaan uske hontho par sajj gayi. Divya ke kandhe ye sunn tang gaye. Mutthi kasi aur usne shabdo ko badi hi mushqil se apne muh se nikaalte hue kaha,

Divya (grits) : I fucking know!!!

Nick ke chehre ki muskaan Divya ka jawaab sunn aur gehri ho gayi. Aur, Divya use akela chorr upar apne kamre ki orr chal di. Aaj woh upar hi sone waali thi. Upar aate hi usne darwaaza andar se band kiya aur uss se tik ke khadi ho gayi.

Uska badan kaanp raha tha. Aaj usne bahut himmat dikha ke aisa kuch kiya tha. Unka rishta ek toxic relationship me tabdeel ho chuka tha. Aur, ab ye extremism ki orr badh raha tha. Jaha khoon kharaba hone ke asaar bhi Divya ko nazar aa rahe the.

Nick ki baat fir se uske mann me goonji.

'Tumhe pata hai na ki tumhe kya karna hai harr mahine?'

Woh jaanti thi ki uska pati kya chaah raha tha. Harr mahine kam se kam aadhi aamdani use FBCC se mili Nick ke khaate me daalni thi.

Woh inn baato ko mann se nikaal washroom ki orr badhi. Light on ki aur washroom ke andar chali gayi.

*Splash* *Splash*

Nal chaalu kar muh par paani ke chheethe lagataar maarte hue usne apne aap ko saamne sheeshe me dekha. Aankhein uski laal ho rakhi thi aur saath hi hontho ke neeche ka hissa bhi.

Aasuo ko toh paani se chhipa liya tha. Par, dil me pahuchi iss chot ka kya? Iss par marham laga ke ise kaun dhakne waala tha?

‘Bear with it Divya!’

Khud ko tasalli dete hue woh aake apne bistar par baith gayi. Haath me uske wahi envelope tha. Ab woh shat-pratishat sunishchit kar chuki thi ki FBCC hi uska naya ghar hone waala tha. Par, achanak se pata nahi kyu-

Ek khayal use aaya. Veer ki chhavi uske mann me yuhi jhalak uthi. Woh khud bhi hairaan thi. Be-waqt uski chavvi bhala kaise aa gayi uske mann me?

Kintu, woh pehli mulaqat…! Divya aaj kuch unhi beete lamho ko yaad kar sone waali thi.

***

Mumbai...
Evening ~ 7:02 PM

Jaha waha Las Vegas me Divya ki zindagi me kushi ke saath saath adhchane bhi aa rahi thi. Aisa hi kuch haal yaha Mumbai me Tamanna ka bhi tha.


Apne kamre me ird gird mandraate hue woh behad hi pareshani me lag rahi thi.

‘Kya karu? Mein harr baar orders taal nahi sakti. Magar, ye sab galat bhi toh hai. Kuch samajh nahi aa raha.’

Woh duwidha me thi aur tabhi darwaze ki ghanti baj uthi.

*Ding Dong*

Tamanna akele ek flat me rehti thi. Uske mata pita ka ghar bhi tha yahi Mumbai me parantu, ghar behad hi chhota tha. Sirf maa baap aur uska ek bhai hi udhar raha karte the. Shuruati daur me Tamanna apne struggling ke dino me Aadesh se madad leke aage badhi thi aur usi ke bal-boote par aaj woh ye sab luxury afford kar paa rahi thi.

Ye baat bhi thi ki uske andar apna talent bhi koot koot kar bhara hua tha. Magar, jo pehla dhakka tha safalta ki orr woh toh beshaq use Aadesh se hi mila tha.

Ab iss waqt uske ghar me sirf do hi log aa sakte the. Ya toh ghar se koi sadasya ya fir uske show ke crew ki taraf se koi staff member. Baaki, kisi se uski qareebi dosti nahi thi. Aadesh naam ke iss vyakti ke neeche woh dabb chuki thi. Chaah ke bhi kisi se zyada nazdeeki taaluqaat nahi rakh sakti thi.

Woh nahi chaahti thi ki uski wajah se kabhi bhi uska koi apna musibat me pade.

‘Iss waqt…! Bhala kaun hoga?’

Sochte hue woh darwaaze ki orr gayi aur usne darwaza khol diya. Saamne khade shaks ko dekh pehle toh woh chauki, fir ghabra ke do qadam peeche ho gayi.

Tamanna (shockingly) : Tum…!?

Saamne Veer hi tha. Haath me wahi ek lifaafa liye woh uski taraf muskaan liye khada tha.

Veer : Surprised? Are we?

Tamanna (frowns) : T-Tumhe mere ghar ka address kisne diya?

Veer ne jawaab dene se pehle agal bagal dekha. Corridor se jo jo vyakti nikal raha tha woh use ghoor ke jaa raha tha. Jo ki zaahir tha kyuki woh yaha par ek naya chehra tha.

Tamanna ne bhi ye gaur kiya aur turant hi Veer ko pehle andar aane kaha.

Tamanna : Tum…! Pehle andar aao.

Na jaane kyu par Veer se use wesa khatra kabhi mehsoos nahi hua tha jaisa Aadesh se use aksar hota tha. Jabki, ye taajub ki baat thi kyuki woh itne dino se Veer ke khilaaf hi kaam kar rahi thi.

Veer andar aaya aur Tamanna ne idhar ghar ka darwaza andar se lock kar diya. Woh darwaaze se tik ke hi khadi ho gayi.

Tamanna : Maine tumse kuch pucha!! Kisne diya tumhe mera address?

Veer Tamanna ko poori tarah se nazar-andaaz kar hall me aage badha. Saamne hi ek stand par bada hi khubsurat sa phulo ka vase rakha hua tha. Ye natural flowers the.

*sniff*

Usne lambi saans kheechte hue unhe soongha.

Veer : Ohh! Lavender!!

Tamanna (frowns) : Tumhe meri baat sunaayi nahi de rahi?

Iss baar Veer ne apna chehra mod peeche dekha.

Veer : Well! Jab tumhe harr jagah se jankari mil jaati hai toh mere paas bhi toh sources honge na?

Tamanna : Kisne diya address?

Veer : Woh jaanana important nahi hai. Tumhare liye ye jaanana zyada important hai.

Haath upar kar usne woh lifaafa use dikhaaya. Tamanna ki bauhe prashn me upar ko chadh gayi.

Tamanna : Kya matlab?

Veer sofe par baithate hue apne perro ko mod uski orr dekha aur bola,

Veer : I'm giving you a chance!

Tamanna : …!?

Veer : Ek aisa chance jise paa ke tum saari musibato se muqt ho sakti ho.

Tamanna : Mein kuch samjhi nahi?

Veer : Why are you acting dumb? Kya tum chaahti ho ki mein aur khul ke bolu? Alright then! Tum uss chutiye Aadesh ke changul me fassi hui ho. Haa ya naa?

Tamanna ‘Aadesh’ ka naam sunte hi wapas palat apni peeth dikha ke khadi ho gayi. Uske daanto ke beech uska angutha tha. Woh soch rahi thi ki Veer ko akhir itna sab kuch kaha se pata lag gaya?

Woh punah mud use dekhi,

Tamanna : Saaf saaf kaho jo kehna hai. Aur, kitna jaante ho mere baare me?

Veer : Madam! Mein toh ye bhi jaanta hu ki tumne shuruati dino me kitna struggle kiya hai. Aadesh ne tumhe mohra bana ke tum par paise lagaaye aur tumhe uchaaiyon par pahuchaya. Par, tum nadaan tab ye nahi samjhi ki woh Aadesh kisi gunde se kam nahi tha. Jab tumhe ye baat samajh aayi tab tak bahut derr ho chuki thi. Ab woh aaye din tumse apne gande kaam karwata hai. Tum unhe karti bhi ho kyuki ghar me maa baap aur bhai ki tension jo hai.

Tamanna : !!!!!?

Veer : Yaha tak ki tum jaan boojh ke unhe apne jaisi same luxury provide nahi karwati kyuki tumhe darr rehta hai ki kahi woh sabhi limelight me na aa jaaye aur khatra badh na jaaye. Par tumhara nadaan chhota bhai ye nahi samajhta. Woh yahi sochta hai ki tum paiso ke liye apne parivar se katt chuki ho aur isliye tum dono ka rishta ab aag aur paani ki tarah banta jaa raha hai. Aur toh aur-

Tamanna : Bas!!!!!!

Veer : …

Tamanna : Bas….!!!!

Woh lambi lambi saansein le rahi thi. Ye saamne khada naujavan use uss se bhi behtar jaanta tha. Akhir itna sab kuch kaise pata lag chuka tha use?

Veer muskura ke Tamanna ke haav bhaav dekh raha tha. Usne toh pehle hi use Check kar rakha tha. Bachi kuchi jankaari use apne jankaaro se lag gayi thi. Tamanna apne show ‘Taste with Tamanna’ ke liye mashoor thi. Use kaise upyog me laana tha ye Veer pehle hi soch chuka tha.

Veer (smiles) : Toh? Ab kya iraada hai?

Tamanna : Kya chaahte ho tum?

Veer : Mein kya chaahta hu? Haha! Tum pehle ye batao ki tum kya chaahti ho? Kya tum iss dal-dal se baahar nahi nikalna chaahti?

Tamanna : M-Mein-!!!

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne apne haath me liya lifaafa saamne table par feka,

Veer : Ise khol ke dekho!

Tamanna ahista ahista aage aayi. Usne lifaafa utha ke use khola aur kuch kaagzaat baahar nikaale. Kuch tasveere bhi thi. Kuch documents the.

Jaise jaise Tamanna ne woh sab dekha, uski aankhein badi hoti chali gayi. Woh dang reh gayi.

Tamanna : Y-Ye-!!! Ye toh-!!

Veer (smiles) : Kya tumhe ab bhi lagta hai ki tum iss daldal se baahar nahi aa sakti?

Iss baar Tamanna ek aas liye use dekhi. Uski aankhon me ek chamak thi.

Tamanna (shivers) : K-Kaise? Y-Ye sab tumhe kaise…!?

Veer : Tum sirf aam khao madam! Guthliyo ko mat gino! Mein tumhe opportunity de raha hu aur tumhe bas use accept karna hai. Ab woh tumhari upar hai tum use leti ho ya nahi!?

Uss lifaafe me sab kuch tha. Sab kuch!

Aisi cheezein jinko saamne laane par Aadesh badi hi asaani se jail ki serr kar sakta tha. Yaha tak ki uska sab kuch barbaad bhi ho sakta tha.

Uski kaali kartooto ke saboot, kuch illegal receipts, bhrashtachaar ke saboot, ladkiyo ke saude karwana, aur toh aur Tamanna ko chaal me fasa ke uska istemal karna. Uske saare galat dhamkiyo se bhare messages jo usne bheje the. CCTVs ki kuch recordings, misbehaving staff, underworld mafia se connection jaise ki Sarabhai gang. Sab kuch!!!

Tamanna ke hosh udd chuke the. Usne khud bhi Aadesh ke khilaaf saboot ikhatta karne ki koshish ki thi par woh nakaam thi. Magar, fir Veer ne kaise…!? Aur, uss se bhi bada sawaal…! Akhir kyu?

Tamanna : Kyuuuu?

Veer : …

Iss baar uski aankhon me aansu the.

Tamanna : Maine tumhare saath itna sab kiya aur-

Veer : BHOOLA NAHI HU MEIN!!!

*Silence*

Uske tezz swar me bolne ke baad kamre me poori tarah shaanti fel gayi. Veer ne iss baar kathorta se use ghoora.

Veer : Sab yaad hai mujhe! Uss din jab tum mere food truck me apne crew ko leke aayi thi. Apna episode shoot karne. Mujhe tum street food explore karne ke liye saath le gayi thi. Mera phone bahaane se leke use tumne hi airplane mode pe daala tha. Right? Taaki, waha Aadesh apne gunde bhej ke mera food truck barbaad kar sake. Sab yaad hai mujhe!!!

Veer ki nazre baaj ki tarah Tamanna par tiki hui thi. Aur, Tamanna ek shikaar ki tarah uske saamne nihatthi khadi thi.

Veer : Aadesh ne jo haal mere food truck aur mere staff ka kiya tha, woh sab yaad hai mujhe. Uski bharpaayi toh woh karega hi.

Tamanna : Toh jab tum jaante ho ki maine tumhare khilaaf ye sab kiya toh fir tum meri madad kyu kar rahe ho?

Veer : Kyuki mein ye bhi jaanta hu ki tum ye sab be-mann se kar rahi ho.

Tamanna : Huh!!!

Veer : Tumse ye sab karwaya gaya tha. Aur, tum majboor thi. Ab wese mein kisi ko itne chances nahi deta. Par, tumhe ek de raha hu. It’s up to you. Toh? Kya socha hai?

Tamanna : I-

Veer : ???

Tamanna : N-Nahi! Agar -!! Agar mein uske khilaaf gayi aur use pata chal gaya toh-! Toh woh toh mujhe maar dega. Aur kahi mere parivaar ko-!

Veer : Toh tumhara jawaab naa hai. Right?

Tamanna maun rahi. Veer ne ek gehri saans li par fir bhaari awaaz me usne kaha. Aur, jo kaha use sunn Tamanna ka poora shareer kaanp gaya.

Veer : Toh ek baat kaan khol ke sunn lo. Ye mera last chance tha tumhare liye. Ab Aadesh jo kare ya na kare. Par, agar tum iss baar beech me aayi, toh mein tumhara woh hashr karunga jo kabhi Aadesh bhi nahi kar payega.

Tamanna : M-Mein kya karu? Mein uss Aadesh ke changul me nahi rehna chaahti. Par, darr bhi lagta hai.

Veer : Just accept my offer. Baaki, tumhe tension lene ki zaroorat nahi.

Tamanna : Kaise?

Veer : He won’t be able to do anything. Tum agar ye accept karti ho toh mere paas tumhare liye ek kaam hai. And you’ll have to do it.

Tamanna : Kaisa kaam?

Veer : Pehle ye batao tumhe accept hai ya nahi?

Tamanna kuch derr sochti rahi. Agar, woh Veer ka offer accept nahi karti hai toh zaahir hai uski zindagi wesi hi rahegi jaisi thi. Woh Aadesh ke jaal se kabhi baahar nahi aa payegi. Par, agar Veer ka saath ek baar deti hai toh kam se kam kuch alag toh ho hi sakta hai? Agar Veer ne apni baat rakhi toh hamesha hamesha ke liye iss Aadesh ki qaid se woh azaad ho jayegi. Magar, usne agar baat nahi rakhi toh?

Veer : Yahi soch rahi ho na ki agar mein apni baat pe khada na utra toh woh Aadesh tumhara kya haal karega?

Tamanna (glances) : Huh?

Veer : Ghabrao nahi! Thoda dhyaan se socho. Kya usne abhi tak tumhare saath koi bura vyavhaar kiya hai?

Tamanna : …???

Veer : Woh tumhari qeemat jaanta hai. Woh jaanta hai ki tum uske liye kitni zaroori ho. Aur, woh tumhe apne haatho se aise kaise jaane de sakta hai? Zyada se zyada woh kya kar lega? Tumhe daraega, dhamkaega?

Tamanna : Par-

Veer : Uss se zyaada kuch nahi karega. Hai na? Kyuki, woh tumhara istemaal tab tak karna chaahega jab tak tum uske kaam aa sakti ho.

Tamanna ne ek gehra chintan kiya. Baat sahi thi. Bhala Aadesh iss se zyada kya kar sakta tha? Ye baat toh wo bhi jaanti thi ki Aadesh uske peeche keval uski khoobiyo ke liye tha.

Tamanna (gehri saans lete hue) : Theek hai! Maine faisla kar liya hai.

Veer : …?

Tamanna : Mein tumhara offer accept karti hu. Tum jaisa kahoge mein wesa karne ko taiyaar hu.

Veer (smiles) : Good decision! And, don’t worry mein tumse Aadesh ki tarah koi galat kaam nahi karwane waala.

Tamanna : Toh? Kya karna hoga mujhe?

Veer muskuraate hue aage badha. Tamanna pal bhar ke liye thodi chaukanna hui magar wahi sthir khadi rahi. Uske nazdeek aate hi Veer uski taraf jhuka. Uske itne paas aane se Tamanna ke gaalo pe pata nahi kyu par halki laali chha gayi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki Veer behad handsome tha.

Nazdeek se uske woh nain naksh, symmetrical chehra, uska face cut, ghane baal aur halki si french beard aur bhi qaayal kar dene waali thi. Koi bhi ladki sirf use dekh ke hi asaani se uske pyaar me pad sakti thi. Tamanna bhi akhir ek ladki hi thi. Ek bachelor. Usne apni nazre sharmaate hue ferr li. Ek janglee vichaar uske mann me aaya.

‘K-Kahi-!??’

Kahi Veer uske jism ko bhogne ki maang toh nahi rakhne waala tha? Agar, aisi uski soch thi toh uski nazro me Veer ab gir chuka tha. Magar, woh Veer ke sang sone bhi taiyaar thi. Aadesh se bachne ke liye agar Veer jaisa koi uska pehli baar hone waala tha toh woh raazi thi. Be-mann se hi sahi magar woh raazi thi. Par, uska saara khayali pulaav dhara ka dhara reh gaya jab Veer ne apni maang uske kaano me rakhi.

Tamanna : Ehhh???

Woh Veer ko aashcharya me dekhi. Veer ne toh kuch alag hi maang rakhi thi.

Tamanna : Bas itna hi?

Veer : Haan bas itna hi. Kyu? Tumhe kya laga?

Tamanna ke gaal tamatar ki tarah laal pad gaye. Ab kahi na kahi uski pride hurt hui thi. Veer sach me uske saath kuch galat nahi karna chaahta tha? Kya woh dikhne me itni buri thi? Use yakeen tha ki woh khubsoorat thi.

Tamanna (blushes) : K-Kuch nahi! Hmph! Tumhara kaam ho jayega. Toh? Kab nikalna hai?

Veer : Kal hi! Jitna jaldi tum niklogi utna behtar hoga. Ho payega?

Tamanna : Kyu nahi? Of course! Show mera hai toh jaha mein jaungi wahi pe shoot hoga na. And, don’t worry producer meri hi sunta hai. Usko bas itna laalach dena hai ki aane waale episodes me aur kamayi hogi. Aur, woh khushi khushi mere according hi chalega.

Veer (smiles) : I was right about you!

Tamanna (blushes) : O-Of course! Tumne mujhe halke me liya hai kya?

Veer ne uska jawaab diye bagerr hi table par pada woh lifaafa wapas uthaya.

Tamanna : Huh? Ise kaha le jaa rahe ho?

Veer : Ye tumhare haatho me surakshit nahi! Aur, wese bhi tum directly Aadesh ko ye dikha ke nahi ladd sakti. Iss maamle me kisi teesre ko inn sabooto ki madad se use dhamki deni hogi. Aur, woh teesra vyakti mein hu.

Tamanna (nods) : Hmm!

Veer : Chalta hu!

Tamanna : Wait!!!

Veer (turns) : Hmm?

Tamanna : W-Woh! Mujhe bhi tumhe kuch batana tha.

Veer : Kya?

Tamanna : Pehle toh thank you tumne itna sab hone ke bawajood meri madad ki. Kabhi kisi ne meri taraf iss tarah madad ka haath nahi badhaya.

Uski nazre neeche jhuk gayi.

Tamanna : Mujhe accha laga. Dil andar se tumhara shukriya kar raha hai. T-Tum sahi ho. Mera rishta…! Mere chhote bhai ke saath battar ho raha hai. Aur, mein badlaav laana chaahti hu. I-I need to get out of this mess…!

Veer : …

Tamanna : Th-Thank you!

Ek aasu ki boond uske gaalo se fisalte hue neeche giri.

Tamanna : Th-Thank you so much!!!

Veer : There is no need! Isme mera swaarth bhi juda hai.

Tamanna : Still-!!! I still want to thank you. Kya ek sawaal puch sakti hu?

Veer : Ask!

Tamanna : Tumhe Aadesh ki kaali kartooto ke itne saboot kaha se mile?

Veer (smiles) : Let’s just say that I got connections. We’ll leave it at that. Anything else?

Tamanna : Haan! Tumhe ek baat aur batani hai. Tumne jo Hourglass Method introduce ki thi…

Veer : Hmm?

Tamanna (smiles) : Let’s just say ki woh kuch bade officials tak pahuch chuki hai aur woh iss par work kar rahe hai.

Veer : Ohhh!?

Tamanna : Wo din dur nahi jab Hourglass method market me Health department dwaara release kar di jaayegi.

Veer : I see! Thanks!

Tamanna : No need! Isme mera bhi swaarth juda hai.

Veer : Huh???

Tamanna ki aankho se lagataar aasu girte jaa rahe the.

Tamanna : After all…! I love food. Aur, Hourglass method logo ko diet ke prati jagruk karne ka ek zariya hi hai.

Veer : Right!

Dono ek dusre ko dekhte rahe. Tamanna dil se uski shukr-guzaar thi, aur na jaane kyu par dil me kuch anjaan armaan jaag rahe the. Dil tezi se dhadak raha tha.

Veer : I will take my leave then!

Tamanna (nods) : Y-Yesss! Mein taiyaar rahungi. You can call me.

Veer : Sure!

Veer apne ghar ke liye ravaana ho gaya. Tamanna apne flat ki balcony se use jaata hua dekhti rahi. Ek aas jo ab jagi thi, woh ise khona nahi chaahti thi.

Udhar Tamanna ko thoda sahara praapt ho gaya tha. Magar, idhar Karnataka me Bhavna jo apne ghar se koso dur thi, uske kaleje ko thandak dene ke liye kaun tha bhala?

Koi bhi nahi!

“Ah! Ma’am! Ye kaun hai aapke saath?”

Uske saath kayi juniors bhi exploration me aaye hue the. Unhi me se ek ladki ne Bhavna se uske phone par tasveer dekhte hue pucha. Yaha pe woh Geeta ke naam se hi jaani jaati thi.

Bhavna (smiles) : Ye mera beta hai. Veer!

Ladki : Oh! Aapka beta toh bahut smart hai ma’am!

Bhavna (smiles) : Kyu? Pasand aa gaya kya? Kaho toh shaadi ki baat chalau uss se?

Ladki (blushes) : Ahhh!

Ladki 2 : Hehehehe~ Ma’am, baat chala dijiye. Aapko lage haath bahu bhi mil jayegi.

Ladki : Oye! Shut up yaar! Ma’am ka beta hai woh.

Ladki 2 : Haan toh? Ladka toh hai na? Handsome aur smart bhi hai hehe~

Ladki : T-Tum-!!!

Woh dono aapas me hi hasi mazaak me jhagadne lagi aur idhar Bhavna apne bagal se baithi saheli ko dekh boli,

Bhavna : Aur kitna samay Seema? Mujhe kabhi bhi ghar ki yaad itni nahi aayi.

Seema : Bas kuch din me end hi hai. Jitna explore karna tha kar liya. Ab bas yahi yahi thoda ghumna hai aur findings ko research karna hai. Woh kaam toh ghar se bhi kar sakte hai hum.

Bhavna : Hmm!

Seema : Baccho ki yaad aa rahi hai?

Bhavna (nods) : Haan!

Seema : Chinta mat karo. Kuch hi din me hum nikal jayenge.

Bhavna : Hmmm!

***

Mumbai…
Nidhi’s apartment…
Evening ~ 5:18 PM

Shaam ka waqt tha aur Nidhi Dhruv ko apni goad me lita ke uske chehre ko geele kapde se poch ke saaf kar rahi thi. Dhruv ke wapas se milne ke baad se hi usne college se temporary leave leke rakhi hui thi.

Pehle usne koshish kari thi ki sab kuch ek saath manage ho jaaye parantu, ye sambhav nahi tha. Chhote bacche ko bhala aas pados me kitni derr chorr sakti thi? Aur kitne din?

Isliye, usne college me application daal ke leave leli thi.

Tabhi, darwaaze ki awaaz aayi aur woh Dhruv ko bistar par lita ke hall me aayi jaha Juhi TV dekhne me lagi hui thi. Shreya office se laut chuki thi.

Nidhi : Kaisa raha din?

Shreya : Wahi roz ki bhaaga daudi aur kya? Tang aa gayi hu mein-!

Usne apna office bag sofe par patka aur apne perr saamne table par faila ke wahi pasar gayi. Juhi daudte hue uske nazdeek aayi,

Juhi : Maasi-!! Maasi! Mere liye kya laayi?

Shreya : Betu aaj kuch nahi laayi. Maasi, bahut thak gayi hai aaj.

Shreya ke jawaab pe bechari Juhi ka muh latak gaya. Woh wapas se TV ke saamne jaa ke baith gayi.

Nidhi : Kya hua?

Shreya : Mein iss job waali zindagi se tang aa chuki hu honestly!

Nidhi : Arre? Aisa kyu keh rahi ho? Veer ne sirf tumhare liye job lagwayi aur tum ho ki-

Shreya : Mein uske favour ko bura nahi keh rahi hu.

Woh uth ke paalthi maar ke baith gayi.

Shreya : Mein bas-!!! Dekho dii! Veer ne jo kuch bhi kiya hai uske liye mein hamesha hi uski shukr-guzaar rahungi. Mein bas apni baat rakh rahi hu. Aur kuch nahi-! Mein ye job vob ke liye nahi bani hu. Bas kar rahi hu kyuki majboori hai.

“Aur ab karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.”

Darwaaze se hi ek jaani pehchaani awaaz unke kaano me padi. Sabhi ne uss orr dekha toh paaya ki Veer hi khada hua tha.

“Maaaamuuuu~”

Juhi sabse pehli thi jo daud ke aayi aur uske perro se chipak gayi. Veer ne pyaar se use goad me uthaaya aur use ek badi si chocolate dedi. Uska muh jo pehle latak gaya tha woh turant hi khil utha.

Shreya : Arre? Veer!? Aao na!

Shreya ke chehre par bhi ek pal me chamak aa gayi. Jaise uski saari thakaan gayab ho gayi thi. Veer ne uski taraf dekh muskuraya aur fir uski nigaahein Nidhi par gayi, jo use hi dekh rahi thi. Woh khamosh thi. Fir, shan bhar baad boli-

Nidhi : Aao Veer!

Veer : Hmm!

Veer andar aaya aur Shreya ke bagal se hi wahi sofe par baith gaya. Juhi uski goad me hi thi aur chocolate kholne ka prayatn kar rahi thi. Veer ne uske haath se chocolate li aur use kholte kholte hi woh unn sab se baat karne laga.

Shreya : Tumne kaha ki ab karne ki zaroorat nahi? Iska matlab? Oh! Tumne hamari baat sunn li kya? I’m sorry Veer! Mera woh matlab nahi tha. Mein bas apne thoughts explain kar rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : I know! Mujhe zara bhi bura nahi laga. Aur, bhala kyu lagega?

Shreya ke hontho par muskaan aur adhik fel gayi, woh uski orr aage lapki.

Shreya : I knew it! Tum hi samajhte ho mujhe bas!

Achanak hi woh Veer se chipak gayi. Magar-

Nidhi jo andar se tray me Veer ke liye paani leke aa rahi thi, uske qadam ye nazara dekh wahi tham gaye. Bauhe kass uthi. Ek baar punah uski aur Veer ki nazre aapas me takraayi.

Veer : I-

Veer kuch kehna chaahta tha. Jaise sthiti ke baare me samjhana chaahta tha. Pata nahi kyu, par ek dard use bhi apne dil me ho raha tha. Ye wahi dard tha jo Nidhi ko bhi mehsoos ho raha tha.

Nidhi ne fauran hi apni nazre ferr li. Woh bina Veer se aankhein milaaye aage aayi aur tray uski orr aage kar di.

Veer ne haath aage badhaya par usne tray ko haath se khiska ke peeche kar diya. Aur, iss baar Nidhi nazre upar kar use dekhi. Jaise puch rahi ho ki tray kyu peeche kari?

Veer (smiles) : Aap mujhe ab bhi mehmaan samajhti hai kya ma’am? Ye sab mehmaano ke liye kiya jaata hai.

Nidhi ko kuch realize hua. Usne turant hi baat sambhaali-

Nidhi : N-Nahi! Aisi baat nahi hai! Ye ghar bhi tumhara hi hai.

Veer : Toh fir?

Nidhi : Ahinda se dhyaan rakhungi. Tum jab bhi aaoge paani nahi dungi.

Veer : Arre?

Shreya : Hahahaha~

Shreya khil-khilaate hue hasi. Aur, use hassta dekh Juhi bhi hassne lagi. Uski samajh me kuch nahi aaya par jab uski maasi hass rahi thi toh woh bhi thahaake lagaane lagi.

Shreya : Dii aisi hi hai. Toh chup chaap jab bhi woh kuch laaye sab le liya karo.

Veer (smiles) : Arre-!!!

Sabhi ke chehro par muskaan thi, siwae Nidhi ke. Woh tray leke andar jaane lagi. Par jaate jaate ek baar woh mud ke Veer ko dekhi. Aankhein fir chaar hui aur Nidhi palat ke iss baar seedhe andar chali gayi.

Shreya : Umm! Tum kuch keh rahe the?

Veer : Ohh haan! I have a surprise for you!

Shreya : Whaaaattt? Mere liye? Kya???

Shreya khushi ke maare uski baah kass ke pakad li. Jab Nidhi andar se tray rakh ke dobaara baahar aayi, uski nazre seedhe jaake wahi tiki jaha Shreya ka haath Veer ki baah par rakha hua tha. Aur, Veer se nazre fir mil gayi. Andar se kuch jaise kachot raha tha use. Woh samajh nahi paa rahi thi ki ye kya tha. Par aaj woh bas yahi chaah rahi thi ki Veer jald se jald yaha se chala jaaye. Aisa kabhi nahi chaaha tha usne. Fir aaj kyu?

Seena bhaari bhaari lag raha tha. Andar se ghutan si ho rahi thi. Ye jee kyu michla raha tha?

Veer : Darasal! Packing kar lijiye! Aapko aaj hi nikalna hai.

Shreya : Huh? Mujhe? Kaha?

Veer : Well! Aapka sapna kya hai?

Shreya : Youtuber banana. Travel karna aur videos banana. Famous hona, jagah jagah ka food try karna. Mein famous hona chaahti hu. Duniya ghoomna chaahti hu.

Veer (smiles) : Toh samay aa gaya hai uska.

Shreya : Huh!???

Veer : Aap aur Aabha! Aap dono traveling ke liye aaj se hi nikal rahe ho. And, I will be sponsoring you.

Shreya : Whaaaaattttt???

Shreya apni jagah se khadi ho gayi. Use apne kaano par vishvaas nahi ho raha tha. Nidhi khud hairat me Veer ko dekh rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Yes! Mein sach keh raha hu. It’s time now! Aur, aap dono akeli nahi ho. Aap ke saath ek guide rahegi.

Shreya : Guide???

Veer : Samay nahi hai. Jaldi se aap apne essentials pack karo, kyuki woh log aate hi honge.

Shreya : Ahhh!! Wh-What!? Diii???

Woh Nidhi ko dekhi, par Nidhi ke paas khud koi jawaab nahi tha.

Shreya : Arre!! A-Aise thodi Veer. Aise ekdum se-? Haan maine kaha tha ki mein jaana chaahti hu but aise suddenly- D-Dii ka kya hoga? Unka dhyaan kaun rakhega? Aur ghar pe bhi toh batana hota hai. I- I can’t-!! Aise kaise I mean-!!

Veer : Hey!!!

Shreya : Huh???

Veer (smiles) : It’s gonna be alright!

Shreya : P-Par-!?

Veer : Maine sab prepare kar diya hai. Aapko bas apne essentials pack karne hai. Baaki, sab kuch ready hai. Everything! Rahi baat ma’am ki toh mein-!!! I mean hum log hai na! Aur, aapke parents se bhi mein baat kar lunga. Don't worry!

Shreya mud ke Nidhi ko dekhi. Jaise maano anumati le rahi ho. Nidhi turant ke turant hi mana karne waali thi par jab usne apni chhoti behan ki aankhon me aas dekhi toh uske muh se kuch na nikla. Aur, ant me usne haule se ek haami bhar di.

Anumati milte hi Shreya toot padi. Apne chehre ko haatho se dhak woh bhaavuk ho gayi. Kabhi kabhi jo aap hamesha se chaahte ho woh aise hi mil jaaya karta hai. Shreya ke saath wahi hua tha.

Woh khud ko control nahi kar paa rahi thi. Aasu behte hi jaa rahe the. Nidhi ne use gale se laga ke use sambhaala. Kahi na kahi, woh khud bhi bhaavuk ho chuki thi. Itne dino se saath rehne ke baad agar koi vyakti achanak se jaane lage toh bura toh lagta hi tha.

Parantu, samay kam tha. Shreya ye mauqa haath se nahi gawana chaahti thi. Veer ke nirdesh anusaar woh sab kuch taiyaari karne lagi. Aur, jald hi usne apna samaan pack bhi kar liya.

Tabhi, darwaaze par kisi aur ne dastak di. Jab Nidhi aur Shreya dono ne uss shaksiyat ko dekha toh dono hi chaunk uthi.

Shreya : N-Nooo wayyyyy!!! Miss Tamanna!!!????

Saamne Tamanna hi thi. Aur, uske saath hi Aabha bhi khadi hui thi. Yahi taiyaari ki thi Veer ne. Usne pehle hi soch ke rakha tha ki Aabha aur Shreya ke liye ek guide ki aavashyakta thi.

Tamanna se behtar guide aakhir kaun ho sakta tha? Veer ek teer se teen nishaane saadh raha tha. Pehla toh ye ki Tamanna ke jaane se Aadesh uss par apna haq nahi jama sakta tha.

Jis raat Aadesh ne uski be-izzati ki thi. Uss raat hi Veer ne Balhaar se keh ke Casa Belle me apna spy niyukt kar diya tha. Aur, wahi spy tha- jisne Veer ko Aadesh ke khilaaf saare saboot ikhatta kar ke diye.

Doosra ye ki- Shreya ko Gaurav ki company se nikalwana tha. Jo usne kar diya tha. Ab Shreya aur Aabha dono hi travel karne waali thi. Dono ke sapne woh poore kar raha tha.

Par, sabse khaas tha teesra reason-! Tamanna ke saath television aur social media par jab dono Aabha aur Shreya aayengi, dono ka fame badhega. Followers badhenge, pehchaan badhegi, subscribers badhenge. Aur, jab woh dono apne prime par aa jayengi-

Tab Veer unhe wapas apne liye apne brands ko advertise karwaane ke liye bulayega. That was his plan-!

[I’m impressed.]

Pari ki awaaz uske mann me goonji. Magar, woh shaant tha. Uske dimaag me kuch aur baatein chal rahi thi.

Shreya ko yakeen nahi ho raha tha ki woh famous Tamanna ke saath travel karne waali thi. Woh itna josh me aa gayi ki usne turant hi wahi Veer ko apni baaho me bhara aur-

*Puch*

Uske gaalo par apne honth chipka diye. Peeche khadi Nidhi ki aankhein ye dekhte hi fel gayi.

Shreya : Oh goddd! I love you so much!!!! Veeeerrr!! Y-You are the best!!!

Veer khud hakka bakka reh gaya tha. Jab jab Shreya uske qareeb aati pata nahi kyu par uski nazre Nidhi ko talaashti thi. Ma’am kya soch rahi hongi iss waqt? Yahi vichaar mandraata rehta uske mann me.

Nidhi : Sh-Shreya-!!

Iss baar Nidhi ke honth thar-tharaaye.

Shreya : Oops! Hehe~ Sorry dii! And- M-Miss Tamanna!!! I’m a huge fan of yours. It’s such a pleasure…! M-Mujhe toh abhi bhi vishvaas nahi ho raha. I mean-!! I mean ye sab kaise possible hua? A-Aap Veer ko jaante ho? Like.. personally?

Tamanna ki nazre Veer par gayi. Woh muskurayi aur boli,

Tamanna : Keh sakti ho. Hum jaante hai ek dusre ko pehle se.

Shreya : Oh myyy goddddd!! Veerrr!! Tumne pehle kyu nahi bataya???

Tamanna : Umm! Time ho raha hai. Agar, koi important kaam na ho toh hum nikle?

Shreya : Ah! S-Sure! But hum kaha chal rahe hai?

Tamanna : First, we are moving to Delhi. And, waha se overseas.

Shreya : Oh godddd!! I’m so excited!!!

Woh ghadi bhi aa hi gayi jab Tamanna ke sang uski gaadi me sawaar hoke Aabha aur Shreya dono hi nikal gayi. Veer ko bas Aabha ki thodi chinta thi. Woh jaldi hi khud ko auro se kam samajhne lagti thi.

Aur, idhar unhe jaata hua Nidhi aur Veer society ke gate se dekh rahe the. Jab woh sabhi aankhon se ojhal ho gaye toh Nidhi turant hi palat ke upar apne flat ki orr jaane lagi. Veer ne kuch na kaha, woh bhi chup chaap upar chal diya.

Upar aate hi Veer ne khamoshi todi,

Veer : Aap theek ho?

Nidhi : Hmm? Kyu? M-Mujhe kya hua?

Woh nazre chura rahi thi. Iss se pehle ki woh andar kitchen me jaati Veer ne uski kalaayi thaam li.

Nidhi (glances) : Chorro Veer! Bahut kaam hai!

Veer : Maine kuch pucha aapse.

Nidhi : Aur maine jawaab de diya hai.

Veer : Kya aapko bura laga?

Nidhi : Kyu? Mujhe kyu bura lagega? Woh meri chhoti behan hai. Uski khushi me hi meri khushi hai.

Veer : Jab Shreya ne mujhe kiss kiya tab bhi-!? Tab bhi aap khush thi?

Nidhi maun reh gayi. Usne Veer ke haath se apni kalaayi chhuraayi aur mudte hue andar jaane lagi,

Nidhi : Haan! Khush hu!

Aur, woh andar daakhil ho gayi. Peeche peeche Veer bhi aa chuka tha.

Veer : Aap jhooth keh rahi hai.

Nidhi : Kyu? Mein kyu jhooth kahungi? Tum dono ham-umr ke ho. Ek dusre ke jaante ho. Acche dost ho.

Woh saare khaane ke bartan dhulne ke liye nikaal rahi thi. Aur, beech me woh rukk gayi-

Nidhi : Aur- Aur dost se badh kar bhi ho sakte ho. Mujhe kyu taqleef hogi bhala?

Fir wapas se kaam me lag gayi.

Veer (frowns) : Toh baar baar aapki nazre wahi wahi kyu jaa rahi thi jaha jaha Shreya mujhe touch kar rahi thi?

Nidhi ek baar fir rukk gayi. Uske paas iska koi jawaab nahi tha. Aur, usne jawaab na dene me hi ssamajhdaari samjhi.

Veer : Maine kuch pucha aapse.

Nidhi ne koi jawaab na diya. Ab Veer ka gussa badh raha tha. Usne fir Nidhi ki kalaayi thaami.

Nidhi : Veer! Apni hadd me raho! Mein tumhari teacher hu. Koi tumhari girlfriend nahi.

Par Veer inn baato se nahi darrne waala tha. Woh aage badha. Iss baar Nidhi ghabrayi. Dhadkane tezz ho gayi,

Nidhi (hadbadaate hue) : J-Jao yaha se! V-Veeeerr!!!

Veer ne uski ek na suni. Usne Nidhi ko turant hi apni baaho me bhar liya. Aur, bechari Nidhi iss baar murti ki tarah jamm ke reh gayi. Ek mard ka itne paas hona! Uska woh sparsh!! Aur, baaho me ye hifaazat mehsoos karna-!! Nidhi ke haath pa bhar ke liye hawa me uthe aur Veer ki peeth tak gaye.

Par, tabhi use kuch gyaat hua aur usne turant hi Veer ko apne se alag kar diya.

Nidhi : Y-Ye kya kar rahe ho tum??

Veer : Kuch nahi! Sorry! I will take my leave then! I just wanted to-

Nidhi : ???

Par, Veer ne apne bol poore na kiye.

Veer : Nevermind!! Bye ma’am!!

Itna bol woh waha se nikal gaya. Nidhi ne usne rokna chaaha par firse wahi hua. Uske muh se shabd hi na nikle. Kabhi kabhi woh khud sochti thi ki woh itna kathor kyu thi Veer ke prati. Aakhir woh kya kehna chaah raha tha?

Ye Nidhi na jaan paayi. Veer use ek goodbye kehne aaya tha. Kyuki, agle do dino me woh ravaana ho raha tha.

Jiska pata ghar me turant hi uske ek khat dwaara hua. Tej jo agle dusre din subah subah uske kamre me daakhil hui toh use Veer ke bed pe hi ek letter mila.

“I know ye ajeeb hai. Aisa maine kabhi nahi kiya. Par, meri majboori hai. Mujhe urgently jaana hoga kahi. Mein aap sab ko samay samay par call karta rahunga. Bina bataaye isliye jaa raha hu kyuki Teju dii tab aap mujhse zidd karne lagti. Aur, mein aapko mana nahi kar paata. Isliye ye qadam uthaana pada. Business sab kuch aap logo ke upar hai. Mujhe poora yakeen hai ki aap sab sab kuch sambhaal lenge. Mein jald hi laut aaunga. Don’t worry!

~Veer”

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Superb update bhai

 

[Sidd19]

Update - 168 ~ In a custody​

Ab tak...

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Ab aage...

China!

Bhala iss naam se kaun anjaan hoga? Ek aisa desh jo kareeban 1.4 billion se bhi adhik jan-sankhya se bhara hua tha aur poori duniya me population ke naam pe dusre sthaan par aata tha.

Jaise bhaarat me alag alag raajya yaani ki states maujood the, wese hi China me bhi the. Magar, inhe yaha ‘States’ ki jagah ‘Provinces’ kaha jaata tha.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the. Par, ek tha jo ki claim kiya gaya tha yaani ki hathiyaya gaya tha. Aur, woh tha ~ Taiwan!!! Toh ye kaha jaa sakta tha ki China me kul ab 23 provinces the.




Harr desh me kuch jagaahe aisi hoti thi jo aadhunik yug ko darshaati thi toh wahi kuch aisi hoti thi jo apni pracheen sanranchna ke liye jaani jaati thi. Jaise bhaarat me Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata jaise sheher naye daur aur aadhunikta ko darshaate the, kuch wese hi China me Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing jaise sheher the jo modern aur smart cities ke liye jaane jaate the.

Magar, kuch sheher aise hote the jo aadhunik jeevan se thoda dur rehte the aur uss zameen par pracheenta ko bhaanpa jaa sakta tha.

Iska matlab ye ki China me bhi do pehlu the. Ek jo modernisation ko darshaata tha.

Lambi lambi buildings, vibhinn prakaar ke insaano dwaara banaaye gaye ajeebo gareeb structures, harr taraf lights, tez zindagi, harr kaam ke liye uplabdh machines, atyadhik traffic, clubs, pubs, aur na jaane kya kya. Ye tha woh China jo aam aadmi dekhta tha. Aur, dekhne jaata tha aur jo media dwara dikhaya jaata tha.



Kintu, dusra China tha jo ancient times ko jataata tha.

The Great Wall of China, ghane bade jangal, oonche oonche pahaad, vibhinn nadiyaan. Ye tha ancient China.

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the. Isi structure par puraane China ke ghar bana karte the.




Ek bade parivaar ke liye yeh sarvashreshth maana jaata tha. Yaha tak ki Rajao ke daur me bhi iska istemal hua karta tha. Prakrati ki taazi hawa, jangalo se laga hua ek siheyuan ghar, puraane tareeqe se rehna-odhna aur khaana-peena, kheti kisaani aur wahi ke kuch aapas ke logo me bol chaal aur bhai chaara.

Ye tha Dusra China!!




Jo aam media aur aam logo ki pahuch se thoda dur tha. Kyuki, ye ilaake aksar jangalo se bhare rehte the. Yaha par rehna hi apne aap me ek challenge tha. Comfort dhoondhne waala vyakti inn jagaho ke liye nahi tha.

Parantu, Veer ko isi ilaake me abhi jaana tha. Uski destination thi China ka Sichuan province.

Ghar se woh bina bataaye toh nikal aaya tha. Majbooran use khat likh ke aise hi nikalna pada. Woh jaanta tha ki agar woh aisa nahi karta toh pakke se Tej use akele iss tarah jaane nahi deti.

Par, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki China me yaha khatra hone waala tha. Aise me bhala woh kaise Tej ko ya apne kisi aur ko saath laa sakta tha?

Veer ka Chinese Visa taiyaar tha. Usne itne antraal me banwa liya tha. Woh nahi jaanta tha ki yaha par use kinn musibato ka saamna karna tha. Lekin, itna zaroor jaanta tha ki uske liye kuch bhi ab asaan nahi hone waala tha.

Plane airstrip par utra aur woh luggage leke akhir kaar China ki zameen par apne qadam rakha.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.




Sichuan province ka jaana maana Airport. Ab idhar se Veer ko dusri location par jaana tha.

[We are here!]

Plane se utarte hi Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi.

‘Yeah!’

[Tumhe kya lagta hai? For what purpose Li Renshu invited us?]

‘I don’t know!’

[Well! I just want to see some fun~ Aur chaahungi ki tum *grins* khud ko mere hawaale kar do.]

‘Jo kabhi nahi hone waala. *sighs*’

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Uske confidence par Veer bas muskuraaya aur woh aage badh gaya. Uska sabse pehla kaam tha apne phone ke network ko activate karana. Airport par hi use SIM aur network ki facilities mil gayi thi. Veer ne pehle apne phone ki calling ko chaalu karwaya aur fir hi woh yaha se nikalne ke liye hua. Abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab uska jeb me rakha phone turant hi bajne laga.

Wahi rukte hue usne apna phone nikaala. Screen par dekha toh pata chala uski Teju dii ka Whatsapp call aa raha tha. Ye swabhavik tha. Na jaane akhir kab se uske ghar waale use call kar rahe honge, par plane me toh mobile airplane mode pe hi rehta tha. Baat bhala kaise ho sakti thi?

Veer ne turant hi call ko uthaaya,

Veer : Hello?

Aur udhar se Tej ki zorr se awaaz aayi,

Tej : Veeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!??

Veer ne apne kaano se phone ko thoda dur kiya. Shayad uski Teju dii behad pareshan thi. Awaaz se samajh aa raha tha.

Veer : Haan Teju di!?

Tej : Haan Teju dii? Haan teju dii ke bacche!!! T-Tum-!! Tum me aqal hai kuch??? Kaha ho tum? Kya kaam aa gaya achanak se? Aur- Aur ye bina bataaye kyu chale gaye ghar se? Abhi kaha ho? Kiske saath ho?

Tej kabhi bhi uss se iss tarah baat nahi karti thi. Woh uss par garajti nahi thi. Hamesha namr swabhaav aur thoda sharmaate hue hi pesh aati thi. Magar, Veer ki iss harqat se uska dimaag bhi kharab tha. Aur, yahi kaaran tha jo woh itni hyper ho rakhi thi.

Veer : Hey! Hey! Calm down dii! Mein ekdum theek hu!

Tej : Tum abhi kaha ho?

[You cannot tell her!]

Pari ki awaaz firse uske mann me goonji. Iss baar Veer Pari ki baat se sehmat tha. Woh nahi bata sakta tha Tej ko. Tej jab Paris aa sakti thi toh isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh China bhi use dhoondhne ke liye aa sakti thi. Aur, iss baar woh koi risk nahi lena chaahta tha.

Veer : Mein thoda kaam se baahar aaya hu dii!

Tej : Baahar kaha?

Veer : Baahar matlab-!! India ke baahar!

Tej : T-Tum-!!!

Uska gussa fir badh gaya. Laga tha ki Veer India me hi agar hoga toh woh yu jhattse waha pahuch jayegi. Magar, Veer India ke baahar tha. Usne ek gehri saans lete hue khud ko shaant kiya.

Tej : India ke baahar kaha ho? Which country?

Veer : I-!!

Tej : ???

Veer : I’m sorry dii! Abhi mein aapko nahi bata sakta.

Tej : Y-You-!!!! Kyuuu? Kyu nahi bata sakte tum?

Veer : Kyuki, mein jaanta hu ki agar maine aapko bataya toh aap turant hi idhar aa jaogi.

Tej : Toh kya galat hai usme? Tum harr baar mujhse aur hum sab se bhaagte kyu rehte ho?

Veer : Galat kuch nahi hai dii! Aur, mein kisi se nahi bhaag raha hu. In fact, mein toh chaahta hi hu ki aap sab mere saath hi raho.

Tej : T-Toh fir? Fir kya dikkat hai Veer?

Veer : Because-!!! *sighs* Kuch nahi dii! Abhi mein jaha hu waha ke liye Visa lagta hai. Agar mein aapko bulaana bhi chaahu toh aap nahi aa sakti. Toh, ab iss baare me zyada mat sochiye.

Tej : T-Tum firse Paris gaye ho na?

Veer : Nahi! Agar udhar hota toh aap sab aa nahi jaate? *smiles* Ek short visa hi lagta hai udhar toh. Par nahi! Mein udhar nahi hu!

Tej : Toh kaha ho tum? P-Please! Veer! Bata do! Kaha ho tum!? Yaha sab pareshaan hai!

Veer (sighs) : I’m sorry dii! Maine kaha na! Mein abhi nahi bata sakta.

Itne me tabhi Tej ne audio call ko video call me switch kar ke lagaaya. Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, usne Video call bhi receive kar liya.

Aur, uski badi behan ka khubsoorat chehra uske saamne haazir tha. Woh chinta me lag rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Ab khush?

Veer nahi jaanta tha ki Tej ne screen recording bhi on kar rakhi thi. Woh jaise tese kar ke koi saboot dhoondhna chaah rahi thi ki jis se pata lag sake akhir uska chhota bhai kaun se airport par hai.

Kintu, Veer uss se aur bhi zyada chalaak tha. Usne screen aisi kar rakhi thi ki siwae uske chehre ke aas paas ka kuch bhi nazar nahi raha tha.

Tej : Tch!! T-Tum-! Tum baithe kyu ho? Mujh par dhyaan mat do. Apna kaam karte raho.

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Tej : *frowns*

Tej ko chori pakdi gayi thi.

Veer : Haha! Jo aap soch rahi ho dii wo mein pehle hi soch liya tha. It's useless.

Tej : Kyu???

Iss baar uski awaaz kamzor thi.

Veer : !!??

Tej : Kyu Veer? Mujhe yakeen tha ki hamara rishta mazboot ho chuka hai. Aur, tum mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhipaoge. Fir bhi tumne-

Veer : Iss baar ye zaroori hai dii. Mere liye nahi! Balki, aap sab ke liye.

Tej : ??

Veer : Mein aapse jhoot nahi bol paata. Jab se hamara rishta mazboot hua hai tab se hi ye ho raha hai. Mein keval aap se jhoot nahi bol paata hu. Aur, isliye mein aapse iss baare me baat nahi karna chaahta ki mein kaha par hu.

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha? Woh khush iss baat se nahi thi ki Veer jhooth nahi bol paa raha uss se.

Woh khush thi ‘keval’ shabd se. Yaani Veer baakiyo se jhooth bolne me saksham tha. Bas keval woh hi ek thi jiske liye uska bhai jhooth nahi bol paata tha.

Ye ‘keval’ shabd tha jo Tej ke dil me tarange utpann kar raha tha.

Veer : Aur mein chaahta hu ki-

Woh abhi uss se kuch kehne hi wala tha ki itne me uske phone me ‘beep beep’ ki awaaz aane lagi. Koi dusra call aa raha tha.

Veer : Ek call aa raha hai dii! Mein aapse baad me baat karta hu.

Tej : What??? Wait!!! Veeerrr!!

Par tab tak call cut chuka tha. Idhar Veer ne jaise hi unknown number se call uthaaya, uss orr se ek aadmi ki awaaz aayi.

“Mister Veer?”

Veer : Yes! It's me!

Aadmi : Where are you right now?

Veer : At the airport.

Woh aadmi angrezi me hi baat kar raha tha.

Aadmi : Okay! I would like you to please cover your face first. I'm your escort sent by Lord Renshu himself.

Veer : Ohh!?

Aadmi : Yes! Please come out and then head towards the East. You will spot a black colored car. That's our car. Ignore all the other people. There's no need to chat with anyone.

Veer (nods) : Got it!

Aadmi : I'm waiting, Sir!

Veer ne call rakha aur usne apna ek mask chehre par daal liya. Shayad maamla gambheer tha. Renshu ne hi driver ko ye sab keh ke bheja hoga.

Chehra chhipana hai iska matlab toh yahi ho sakta tha ki uski identity reveal hone ke chances the. Yaani ki yaha airport par koi aur bhi tha?

Veer ne chaaro orr nazre maari aur Beowulf's Blessings bhi ON kar li. Woh bina kisi se baat kiye seedhe airport ke baahar nikla aur daayi orr mud gaya.

Airport par toh use kuch bhi aisa wesa nazar nahi aaya. Beowulf's Blessings ko usne band kar liya.

Woh East direction me badhne laga aur waqai, kuch hi duri par use ek kaale rang ki gaadi khadi nazar aa gayi. Veer jaise hi waha pahucha, driver turant hi apni seat se baahar nikla. Shayad usne mirror me Veer ko aate dekh liya tha.

Usne sabse pehle haath aage kar Veer se kuch maanga.

Aadmi : Sir! The card please!

Veer : Ohhh! Here!

Woh aadmi wahi card Veer se maang raha tha jo Renshu ne use diya tha ek lifaafe me band kar ke. Veer ke paas abhi bhi woh sahi salamat rakha hua tha. Usne apni bag ki baahar ki ek chain khol woh card nikala aur uss aadmi ko de diya.



Aadmi ne card ko khol acche se dekha. Aur, woh pehchaan gaya ki yeh wahi card tha.

Aadmi : Please Sir!

Usne Veer ke liye darwaza khola aur andar baithne ka ishaara kiya. Veer car me baitha aur wo kuch hi palo me airport chorr apni next destination ke liye chal diya.

Aadmi : Ride kaafi lambi hogi Sir. Toh agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat abhi ho, ya kahi rukna ho toh be-jhijak bata dijiyega.

Veer : Ohh? Sure!

Shaam ke abhi 7 baj rahe the aur andhera toh pehle hi ho chuka tha. Agar ride waqai lambi hone waali thi toh shayad use dinner bhi aaj baahar restaurant me hi karna tha.

Raaste me chalte chalte use baahar ka nazaara andar car se saaf saaf nazar aa raha tha. Kintu, Veer ke kaan tab khade hue jab car me radio par chal rahi beech me ek news aayi.

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

‘Hmm?’

Veer ki bauhe upar chadh gayi.

‘Mr. Nicholson!?’

Naam usne pehle toh kabhi nahi suna tha. Isliye, usne bas dimaag me iss naam ko baithaya aur zyada soch vichaar nahi kiya.

Woh toh China aa chuka tha. Par kya sab kuch itna hi shaant tha jitna prateet ho raha tha? Jawaab tha~ Nahi! Veer ke aane se pehle hi halaat behad hi kharaab ho rakhe the.

2 din pehle, kuch aisi vardaatein hui jis se poore China me ek sansani mach gayi. Aur, woh thi-

Mr. Nicholson ki hatya!!!

2 days ago…
Heibei Province, Beijing
Night ~ 12:27 PM

*Click* *Click* *Click*

Ek atyant hi khubsoorat ladki apne work area me baith ke kaam kar rahi thi. Raat kaafi ho chuki thi aur bas table lamp aur kuch halki roshni me woh apne kaam me lagi hui thi.




‘This design might be good…!’

Woh apne aap se hi mann me baat kar rahi thi jab uske mann ki awaaz ko sunn ke, ek aur awaaz ne mann me hi uttar diya,

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

[Maybe?]

‘Kahi na kahi, ye design- It’s familiar!’

[Jo suit baahar mannequin par hai, ye uski design ki tarah hai.]

‘Right!’

Woh kuch sketches bana rahi thi. Ye sketches kapdo ke hi the. Kuch coats aur blazers ke sketches. Jinhe woh baad me inke hisaab se stitch karwaane waali thi.

Kaam lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha. Par raat ke 12:30 ab baj chuke the. Bacha hua kaam woh kal bhi kar sakti thi. Yahi soch usne apni fashion sketchbook band ki aur woh wahi haatho me haath table par rakh sarr neeche kar apne vichaaro me chali gayi.



‘Kal jo kuch bhi hua-’

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

‘I actually don’t!’

[That was surprising. Everything okay?]

‘Yes!’

[Toh fir?]

‘Kuch nahi Freya!’

Woh abhi aur kuch baatein karti jab baahar se kuch aahat paate hi uske kaan chaukanne ho gaye.

Uske ghar ke theek baahar police ka jhund maujood tha. Do police waale darwaaze ke theek saamne khade the aur kaan laga ke andar ka jayza le rahe the.

Iske baad unme se ek ne ishaara kiya aur baaki sabhi ne haami bhari. Aur, fir usne darwaze ko zorr se apni raid skills ka istemaal kar dhadalle se khol diya.

*BAAAAMMMMM*

Awaaz aate hi andar baithi woh ladki apni jagah se uth khadi hui.

“Police are here!!!!”

“You are under arrest!!!”

“Andar jo koi bhi hai seedhe seedhe chup chaap baahar aa jaaye.”

Ekdum se saare police waale uss ghar me ghus gaye. Unme se kuch mahilaaye bhi thi police ki uniforms me. Kareeban 10 se 12 log ikhatte dhaawa bol diye the.

Andar ki orr aate hi unki nazre uss ladki par padi jo apni jagah par khadi aashcharya me unhe dekh rahi thi.

Officer : Ma'am! You are under arrest.

Ladki : Wh-Whaaaatt!!?

Lady officer : Aapke khilaaf kuch jankaari mili hai. Hume talaashi leni hogi. Tab tak aap under arrest hai. Please! Co-operate!

Ladki : M-Mere khilaaf? Kaisi jankaari?

Lady officer : I'm sorry! Hum apne sources ki jankaari nahi de sakte. Please co-operate.

Ladki : Arre par k-kal hi toh- kal hi toh aap sab-

Uski bauhe chinta me kass gayi. Kal yahi log use saantvna de rahe the aur aaj-

Aaj ye sab ke sab uske ghar me iss tareeqe se ghus ke use hi arrest kar rahe the!?

Ladki : Aap me se koi mujhe batayega ki kya ho raha hai?

Par, uska virodh kisi kaam ka nahi tha. Police toh jaise pehle se hi mann bana ke aayi thi ki kya karna hai aur kya nahi.

Jab unhe pata lag gaya ki uss ladki ke alaawa ghar me aur koi nahi tha toh baahar khade 2 aur police waale andar aa gaye. Parantu, woh akele nahi the.

Unke saath the chhaan been karne waale K–9 Dogs. Yaani ki woh kutte jo tehqiqaat me police ki madad karwaate the aur unke dwara hi trained kiye jaate the.

Woh ladki behad hi confusion me thi. Ye sab ho kya raha tha? Toh wahi police waale apne trained dogs ko jagah jagah le jaate hue investigation me lag gaye.

Idhar uss ladki ke paas female officers khadi hui thi. Bhale hi woh ladki iss samay sandigdh thi parantu, uske saath koi bhi galat sulook nahi kiya jaa raha tha.

Woh koi aisi wesi ladki nahi thi, ye baat lagbhag harr koi jaanta tha. Police waale toh bakhubi parichit the inn sab se.

Yahi kaaran tha jo woh thoda tareeqe se pesh aa rahe the. Warna agar koi aur hota, toh use toh daboch ke seedha neeche lita gaya hota.

Ladki abhi bhi confused thi. Woh jaanana chaah rahi thi ki akhir chal kya raha tha?

Ladki : Kya mein ye bhi nahi jaan sakti ki achanak ye sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar pe?

Lady officer : Aap shaq ke ghere me hai ma'am. Hume pata chala hai ki aap suspects me se ek hai.

Ladki : Aur kaise pata chala ye?

Lady officer : Hamare kuch sources hai. Aur, naam mat puchiyega. Please!

Woh ladki harr guzarte pal aur bhi confused hui jaa rahi thi. Akhir ho kya raha tha? Uska naam kisne diya? Kaun use fassaana chaah raha tha? Use iss baat ka koi darr nahi tha ki use arrest kiya jaa raha hai, use iss baat ki chinta thi ki akhir kisne uske khilaaf ye sab jankaari di???

Wo aaklan kar rahi thi. Jab akasmaat K-9 dogs ke bhaukne ki awaaz ne use wapas se hosh me laaya.

Andar dogs ko kuch praapt hua tha. Woh turant hi apni jagah se bhaagte hue andar jaane ko hui par peeche se lady officer ne use pakad liya. Officer uske saath saath hi peeche peeche aayi tabhi use andar aane mila.

Jaise hi ladki ne andar dekha toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Dogs kareeban ek 15cm lambi sui ki taraf dekh bhauk rahe the. Police officer ne turant hi apne gloves pehne haatho se uss sui ko uthaaya. Sui ki nok par kuch laga hua tha.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

Woh kuch na boli. Bas mann me hi sochne par majboor ho gayi.

‘Y-Ye-! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?’

[Tumhara dhyaan kaha hai? Kya abhi bhi tum puch rahi ho? Of course!!! Someone intruded.]

‘H-Huh!!?’

[Aur tum kuch pata bhi nahi kar paayi. I'm disappointed.]

‘P-Par-!’

[We are not this weak.]

‘How can it be-!?’

[Socho zara. Kaun ho sakta hai? Have you provoked someone unintentionally? I don't remember anyone.]

‘Mujhe nahi pata.’

[Or…]

‘???’

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

Ladki ki bauhe ek pal ke liye kass gayi. Abhi toh uski samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.

Toh wahi, Officer ne uss sui ko haath me liye fir apni ek kamar par latki thaili se ek sample bag nikala.

Officer : Kya ye wahi hai?

Officer 2 : Shayad haan! Jaanch ke liye bhejna padega.

Officer : Matlab jankaari sahi thi?

Officer 2 (nods) : Hmm!

Aur, idhar ladki ke bagal se khadi lady officer ne kaha,

Lady officer : I'm sorry to say ma'am. But you are now a prime suspect. We are taking you to the police station.

Ladki toh jaise inn sab ko dekh wahi jamm chuki thi. Khaas kar uss 15cm lambi sui ko waha rakhe dekh use sabse bada jhatka laga tha.

Ye mumkin kaise hua bhala? Mann me yahi sawaal chal raha tha.

[Not gonna lie it is interesting though haha.]

Uske mann me Freya ki awaaz goonji. Zaahir hai woh ek system owner thi. Agar woh chaahti toh inn sab se badi hi asaani se bach ke nikal sakti thi.

Inme se koi bhi vyakti use pakad bhi nahi paata. Lekin, fir bhi woh bhaagi nahi. Kyuki, woh khud bhi curious thi. Aur na hi woh kabhi bhaagne waalo me se thi.

Jab usne koi gunaah nahi kiya toh bhaaga kyu jaaye? Magar, saboot uske khilaaf the.

Officer : Yaha kuch likha bhi hua hai. Aur, ab toh ye almost confirm ho gaya hai.

Officer 2 : Kya likha hai?

Officer : Garofano!!!!

Sunte hi ladki ek baar fir jhatka khaate hue uss officer ko dekhi. Sui ke pichhle hisse par badi hi bareeki se ek naam kureda gaya tha aur badi hi sundar likhawat se kureda hua tha.

Itni patli si jagah par bhi uss sui me carving kar ke naam likhna apne aap me ek bahut bada kaam tha. Parantu, bareeki se dekhne par naam asaani se nazar aa jaata tha. Aur, police officer ko bhi zyada samay nahi laga use padhne me.

Ab aage aur kuch dekhne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Jo unhe milna tha, woh unhone baramad kar liya tha.

Lady officer : Now please, come with us.

Woh uss ladki ko peeche se dhakelte hue baahar ki orr le gayi. Ladki besudh si lady officer ke saath chali jaa rahi thi. Abhi bhi usme darr nahi tha. Bas, hairani thi. Ye sab ho kaise gaya?

Ghar ke baahar laate hue ghar ke ird gird bhi ‘no trespassing’ waala tape maar diya gaya tha. Aur, use turant hi police ki gaadi me baitha diya gaya.



Bilkul, woh ladki koi aur ladki nahi, Garofano hi thi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh 15cm lambi sui uski hi thi.

Aur dekhte hi dekhte uska pyaara sa ek ghar ‘no trespassing' area me tabdeel ho gaya. Aas paas ke logo me ye charcha ka vishay bann gaya aur jald hi news me bhi aa gaya aur fir poore China me ye khabar sansani ki tarah fel gayi. Garofano ko seedhe giraft me le liya gaya.

Yahi thi… 2 din pehle ki ghatna.

***

Current day…
Sichuan Province,
On the outskirts of Panzhihua city, Night ~ 2:13 AM

Veeraan se raaste par chalti Hui gaadi kuch derr baad jangal se bhari ek jagah par aa kar ruki. Waqai, jaisa ki driver ne kaha tha bilkul wesa hi hua.

Lambi ride itni lambi hogi, Veer ko iska bilkul andaaza nahi tha. Chengdu city se woh Panzhihua city aa chuka tha.

Panzhihua bhi Sichuan Province ki hi ek city thi jo behad South me padti thi. Idhar se jangal lagna shuru ho jaata tha.



Veer jab car se utra toh usne dekha ki bahut hi bade area me bana ek siheyuan ghar saamne maujood tha.

Wahi ghar jisme beecho beech aangan hota tha. Aur ird gird kayi saare makaan. Wesa hi poora structure uski aankhon ke saamne maujood tha.

Ghar kaafi purana lag raha tha. Saamne bhavya gate ke upar bade aksharo me Chinese me kuch likha hua tha.

Veer ne mann me hi Translator ki madad se use Translate kia toh paaya ki udhar ‘Li Renshu’ hi likha hua tha.

Yaani yahi Ghar tha Li Renshu ka. Ghar ho na ho parantu ye property zaroor uski hi thi.

Veer ne idhar udhar dekh thoda aur jaayza liya. Raat ke gehre andhere me use pedo ke siwae aur toh kuch nazar nahi aaya. Shayad ilaake ki asli parakh ab ujaale me hi ho sakti thi.

Driver bhi car se utra aur usne Veer ko aage badhne ke liye ishaara kiya,

Driver : Aaiye Sir!

Veer ka trolley bag wahi liye hua tha.

[Interesting! Li Renshu koi bigshot lagta hai.]

‘Yeah!’

[Warna aisi jagah pe itni badi zameen hona. Koi bhi sarkaar yuhi allow nahi karegi.]

‘Hmm! I won't be surprised agar woh government ka hi koi official ho toh.’

[Ohh! That's a wild guess.]

‘Hume nahi pata uski asli identity kya hai. But I hope iss tour me mujhe kaafi kuch jaanane ko mil jayega.’

[Of course! I'm looking forward too. I hope iss tour me tum finally… ‘mommy’ keh hi doge. Fufu~]

‘Tum firse mat shuru ho jaana.’

[That's how I am. Deal with it.]

‘Aur mein kuch aur raaz bhi shayad jaan pau.’

[Jaise ki?]

‘Jaise ki system ke raaz. Tumhaare raaz.’

[Ohh!!? *smirks* You wanna know?]

‘Of course!’

[Call me ‘Mommy’ and I'll let you know everything you want to know. Kaisi hai deal? I think it's a fair one.]

‘Huh?’

[You only have to say just one word ~ ‘Mommy’ aur mein tumhe poori information de dungi apni.]

‘Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mein tumhari baat ka yakeen karunga?’

[What?? Tumhe lag raha hai mein mazaak kar rahi hu?]

‘Toh aur kya hai yeh?’

[I'm not joking okay! Trust me! Just call me ‘Mommy’ once and I'll-]

‘No thanks! I'll pass!’

[Y-You-!!!]

‘By the way, Profit Path ka Path 1 ek baar aur dikhaana zara. Dekhu kaha tak achieve kar liya hai mene.’

Pari ne aage kuch na kaha. Veer ke mann me uske saamne Path 1 khol use de diya bas.



Veer ne sabse pehle upar ke naam padhe. Arohi, Ragini, Mukta, Bhumika, Sudha aur Varsha.

Inn naamo ke theek bagal se jude hue the ~ Food, Clothes, Medicines, perfumes.

Path 1 ki wajah se hi Veer ne Mukta ko Hotel Prestige me Head Chef me taur par bheja tha.

Profit Path poora idea de deta tha ki kisko kaha par bhejne se faayda hoga.

Arohi, Ragini isme abhi chhoti chhoti madad karwa rahi thi. Magar, Veer jaanta tha ki woh dono hi iss field ke liye nahi thi.

Food me Sonali, Bhumika aur Mukta sabhi hi apni apni jagaho ko poorn roop se sambhaal rahi thi.

Clothes me use Louis mil chuka tha. Aur, Sudha jo silaayi me sabse avval thi Veer ne use bhi niyukt kar liya tha.

Aushdhiyo aur perfumes ke liye uske paas Varsha thi. Kuch naukar chaakar, paisa, jagah aur thoda samaan dene ki bas deri thi Veer ko. Aur, ye kaam bhi shuru ho jaana tha.

Veer ne fir neeche waale blocks ko dekha. Shyaam, farmers jo Land se jude hue the.



Zaahir hai usne ye bhi kar liya tha. Sabhi kisaan Bhai bade hi acche se apna kaam kar rahe the.

Woh aur neeche ke blocks par aaya. Jisme supply ke sang Saili, Louis aur Kaera ka naam tha.



Louis aur supply ka rishta toh Veer samajh chuka tha. Aur usne woh kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha.

Louis ko materials provide karwana, yaani ki poori supply dena ye Veer jaanta tha. Usne ye execute kar liya tha.

Parantu, abhi bhi jo use thoda sa pareshan kar raha tha woh tha Saili aur Kaera ka naam.

Saili Mukta ki hi beti thi. Mukta rang me behad kaali thi toh uski beti bhi rang roop me kaali hi thi. Magar, kaali hone ke bawajood uske nain naksh alag hi starr ke the. Ek prakaar se Saili ko black beauty kehna sahi tha.

Parantu, isme Kaera ka kya role? Veer ko iske baare me aur sochna tha. Woh punah neeche ke blocks me aaya.



Aabha, Shreya aur YouTube Brand. Usne ye bhi execute kar diya tha.

Lagbhag lagbhag usne poora Path 1 implement kar diya tha. Jald hi woh Path 2 draw kar sakta tha Profit Path se.

Parantu uske liye bhi pehle iss Path 1 ka complete hona zaroori tha.

Veer inn sab cheezo ko mann se alag kar saamne ki orr apna dhyaan wapas se laaya.

Woh dono pichhle 3 minute se bas chalte jaa rahe the. Jagah itni badi thi ki kaafi samay toh andar baahar jaane me hi lag jaaya karta tha.

Andar ka pravesh waale ek ghar ke paas akhir kaar woh dono hi pahuch gaye.

Aadmi : Idhar se aapko hi jaana hoga Sir. Aapka bag aapke kamre me bhijwa diya jayega. Be-fiqr rahiye.

Veer : Well…! Okay!

Shayad inhe bina ijazat ke andar aana allowed nahi tha. Veer kaafi impressed tha, inki loyalty ke liye. Renshu ne apni image ekdum tagdi bana ke rakhi thi.

Woh aage badha. Pehle waale ghar me ghuste hi use ku h modern ghar ke jaisa feel hua. Lights lagi hui thi, decoration ka kaafi samaan tha. Kuch bade se flower vases aur kuch unique si paintings tangi hui thi.

Shayad ye welcoming area tha. Ye sirf saaj sajja ke liye hi tha. Isme koi rehta nahi tha.

Woh abhi waha se badh aage aangan me jaane hi waala tha jab saamne se awaaz aayi,

“Who allowed you to trespass, Mister!??”

Veer : Huhh!!??

Aur Veer ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Sirf awaaz sunn ke nahi thame the. Saamne maujood uss saundarya ko dekh ke bhi qadam rukne par majboor ho gaye the.




Laal rang ki night dress me ek behad hi khubsoorat ladki uske saamne khadi hui thi.

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.




“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

Update - 168 ~ In a custody​

Ab tak...

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Ab aage...

China!

Bhala iss naam se kaun anjaan hoga? Ek aisa desh jo kareeban 1.4 billion se bhi adhik jan-sankhya se bhara hua tha aur poori duniya me population ke naam pe dusre sthaan par aata tha.

Jaise bhaarat me alag alag raajya yaani ki states maujood the, wese hi China me bhi the. Magar, inhe yaha ‘States’ ki jagah ‘Provinces’ kaha jaata tha.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the. Par, ek tha jo ki claim kiya gaya tha yaani ki hathiyaya gaya tha. Aur, woh tha ~ Taiwan!!! Toh ye kaha jaa sakta tha ki China me kul ab 23 provinces the.




Harr desh me kuch jagaahe aisi hoti thi jo aadhunik yug ko darshaati thi toh wahi kuch aisi hoti thi jo apni pracheen sanranchna ke liye jaani jaati thi. Jaise bhaarat me Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata jaise sheher naye daur aur aadhunikta ko darshaate the, kuch wese hi China me Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing jaise sheher the jo modern aur smart cities ke liye jaane jaate the.

Magar, kuch sheher aise hote the jo aadhunik jeevan se thoda dur rehte the aur uss zameen par pracheenta ko bhaanpa jaa sakta tha.

Iska matlab ye ki China me bhi do pehlu the. Ek jo modernisation ko darshaata tha.

Lambi lambi buildings, vibhinn prakaar ke insaano dwaara banaaye gaye ajeebo gareeb structures, harr taraf lights, tez zindagi, harr kaam ke liye uplabdh machines, atyadhik traffic, clubs, pubs, aur na jaane kya kya. Ye tha woh China jo aam aadmi dekhta tha. Aur, dekhne jaata tha aur jo media dwara dikhaya jaata tha.



Kintu, dusra China tha jo ancient times ko jataata tha.

The Great Wall of China, ghane bade jangal, oonche oonche pahaad, vibhinn nadiyaan. Ye tha ancient China.

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the. Isi structure par puraane China ke ghar bana karte the.




Ek bade parivaar ke liye yeh sarvashreshth maana jaata tha. Yaha tak ki Rajao ke daur me bhi iska istemal hua karta tha. Prakrati ki taazi hawa, jangalo se laga hua ek siheyuan ghar, puraane tareeqe se rehna-odhna aur khaana-peena, kheti kisaani aur wahi ke kuch aapas ke logo me bol chaal aur bhai chaara.

Ye tha Dusra China!!




Jo aam media aur aam logo ki pahuch se thoda dur tha. Kyuki, ye ilaake aksar jangalo se bhare rehte the. Yaha par rehna hi apne aap me ek challenge tha. Comfort dhoondhne waala vyakti inn jagaho ke liye nahi tha.

Parantu, Veer ko isi ilaake me abhi jaana tha. Uski destination thi China ka Sichuan province.

Ghar se woh bina bataaye toh nikal aaya tha. Majbooran use khat likh ke aise hi nikalna pada. Woh jaanta tha ki agar woh aisa nahi karta toh pakke se Tej use akele iss tarah jaane nahi deti.

Par, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki China me yaha khatra hone waala tha. Aise me bhala woh kaise Tej ko ya apne kisi aur ko saath laa sakta tha?

Veer ka Chinese Visa taiyaar tha. Usne itne antraal me banwa liya tha. Woh nahi jaanta tha ki yaha par use kinn musibato ka saamna karna tha. Lekin, itna zaroor jaanta tha ki uske liye kuch bhi ab asaan nahi hone waala tha.

Plane airstrip par utra aur woh luggage leke akhir kaar China ki zameen par apne qadam rakha.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.




Sichuan province ka jaana maana Airport. Ab idhar se Veer ko dusri location par jaana tha.

[We are here!]

Plane se utarte hi Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi.

‘Yeah!’

[Tumhe kya lagta hai? For what purpose Li Renshu invited us?]

‘I don’t know!’

[Well! I just want to see some fun~ Aur chaahungi ki tum *grins* khud ko mere hawaale kar do.]

‘Jo kabhi nahi hone waala. *sighs*’

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Uske confidence par Veer bas muskuraaya aur woh aage badh gaya. Uska sabse pehla kaam tha apne phone ke network ko activate karana. Airport par hi use SIM aur network ki facilities mil gayi thi. Veer ne pehle apne phone ki calling ko chaalu karwaya aur fir hi woh yaha se nikalne ke liye hua. Abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab uska jeb me rakha phone turant hi bajne laga.

Wahi rukte hue usne apna phone nikaala. Screen par dekha toh pata chala uski Teju dii ka Whatsapp call aa raha tha. Ye swabhavik tha. Na jaane akhir kab se uske ghar waale use call kar rahe honge, par plane me toh mobile airplane mode pe hi rehta tha. Baat bhala kaise ho sakti thi?

Veer ne turant hi call ko uthaaya,

Veer : Hello?

Aur udhar se Tej ki zorr se awaaz aayi,

Tej : Veeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!??

Veer ne apne kaano se phone ko thoda dur kiya. Shayad uski Teju dii behad pareshan thi. Awaaz se samajh aa raha tha.

Veer : Haan Teju di!?

Tej : Haan Teju dii? Haan teju dii ke bacche!!! T-Tum-!! Tum me aqal hai kuch??? Kaha ho tum? Kya kaam aa gaya achanak se? Aur- Aur ye bina bataaye kyu chale gaye ghar se? Abhi kaha ho? Kiske saath ho?

Tej kabhi bhi uss se iss tarah baat nahi karti thi. Woh uss par garajti nahi thi. Hamesha namr swabhaav aur thoda sharmaate hue hi pesh aati thi. Magar, Veer ki iss harqat se uska dimaag bhi kharab tha. Aur, yahi kaaran tha jo woh itni hyper ho rakhi thi.

Veer : Hey! Hey! Calm down dii! Mein ekdum theek hu!

Tej : Tum abhi kaha ho?

[You cannot tell her!]

Pari ki awaaz firse uske mann me goonji. Iss baar Veer Pari ki baat se sehmat tha. Woh nahi bata sakta tha Tej ko. Tej jab Paris aa sakti thi toh isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh China bhi use dhoondhne ke liye aa sakti thi. Aur, iss baar woh koi risk nahi lena chaahta tha.

Veer : Mein thoda kaam se baahar aaya hu dii!

Tej : Baahar kaha?

Veer : Baahar matlab-!! India ke baahar!

Tej : T-Tum-!!!

Uska gussa fir badh gaya. Laga tha ki Veer India me hi agar hoga toh woh yu jhattse waha pahuch jayegi. Magar, Veer India ke baahar tha. Usne ek gehri saans lete hue khud ko shaant kiya.

Tej : India ke baahar kaha ho? Which country?

Veer : I-!!

Tej : ???

Veer : I’m sorry dii! Abhi mein aapko nahi bata sakta.

Tej : Y-You-!!!! Kyuuu? Kyu nahi bata sakte tum?

Veer : Kyuki, mein jaanta hu ki agar maine aapko bataya toh aap turant hi idhar aa jaogi.

Tej : Toh kya galat hai usme? Tum harr baar mujhse aur hum sab se bhaagte kyu rehte ho?

Veer : Galat kuch nahi hai dii! Aur, mein kisi se nahi bhaag raha hu. In fact, mein toh chaahta hi hu ki aap sab mere saath hi raho.

Tej : T-Toh fir? Fir kya dikkat hai Veer?

Veer : Because-!!! *sighs* Kuch nahi dii! Abhi mein jaha hu waha ke liye Visa lagta hai. Agar mein aapko bulaana bhi chaahu toh aap nahi aa sakti. Toh, ab iss baare me zyada mat sochiye.

Tej : T-Tum firse Paris gaye ho na?

Veer : Nahi! Agar udhar hota toh aap sab aa nahi jaate? *smiles* Ek short visa hi lagta hai udhar toh. Par nahi! Mein udhar nahi hu!

Tej : Toh kaha ho tum? P-Please! Veer! Bata do! Kaha ho tum!? Yaha sab pareshaan hai!

Veer (sighs) : I’m sorry dii! Maine kaha na! Mein abhi nahi bata sakta.

Itne me tabhi Tej ne audio call ko video call me switch kar ke lagaaya. Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, usne Video call bhi receive kar liya.

Aur, uski badi behan ka khubsoorat chehra uske saamne haazir tha. Woh chinta me lag rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Ab khush?

Veer nahi jaanta tha ki Tej ne screen recording bhi on kar rakhi thi. Woh jaise tese kar ke koi saboot dhoondhna chaah rahi thi ki jis se pata lag sake akhir uska chhota bhai kaun se airport par hai.

Kintu, Veer uss se aur bhi zyada chalaak tha. Usne screen aisi kar rakhi thi ki siwae uske chehre ke aas paas ka kuch bhi nazar nahi raha tha.

Tej : Tch!! T-Tum-! Tum baithe kyu ho? Mujh par dhyaan mat do. Apna kaam karte raho.

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Tej : *frowns*

Tej ko chori pakdi gayi thi.

Veer : Haha! Jo aap soch rahi ho dii wo mein pehle hi soch liya tha. It's useless.

Tej : Kyu???

Iss baar uski awaaz kamzor thi.

Veer : !!??

Tej : Kyu Veer? Mujhe yakeen tha ki hamara rishta mazboot ho chuka hai. Aur, tum mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhipaoge. Fir bhi tumne-

Veer : Iss baar ye zaroori hai dii. Mere liye nahi! Balki, aap sab ke liye.

Tej : ??

Veer : Mein aapse jhoot nahi bol paata. Jab se hamara rishta mazboot hua hai tab se hi ye ho raha hai. Mein keval aap se jhoot nahi bol paata hu. Aur, isliye mein aapse iss baare me baat nahi karna chaahta ki mein kaha par hu.

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha? Woh khush iss baat se nahi thi ki Veer jhooth nahi bol paa raha uss se.

Woh khush thi ‘keval’ shabd se. Yaani Veer baakiyo se jhooth bolne me saksham tha. Bas keval woh hi ek thi jiske liye uska bhai jhooth nahi bol paata tha.

Ye ‘keval’ shabd tha jo Tej ke dil me tarange utpann kar raha tha.

Veer : Aur mein chaahta hu ki-

Woh abhi uss se kuch kehne hi wala tha ki itne me uske phone me ‘beep beep’ ki awaaz aane lagi. Koi dusra call aa raha tha.

Veer : Ek call aa raha hai dii! Mein aapse baad me baat karta hu.

Tej : What??? Wait!!! Veeerrr!!

Par tab tak call cut chuka tha. Idhar Veer ne jaise hi unknown number se call uthaaya, uss orr se ek aadmi ki awaaz aayi.

“Mister Veer?”

Veer : Yes! It's me!

Aadmi : Where are you right now?

Veer : At the airport.

Woh aadmi angrezi me hi baat kar raha tha.

Aadmi : Okay! I would like you to please cover your face first. I'm your escort sent by Lord Renshu himself.

Veer : Ohh!?

Aadmi : Yes! Please come out and then head towards the East. You will spot a black colored car. That's our car. Ignore all the other people. There's no need to chat with anyone.

Veer (nods) : Got it!

Aadmi : I'm waiting, Sir!

Veer ne call rakha aur usne apna ek mask chehre par daal liya. Shayad maamla gambheer tha. Renshu ne hi driver ko ye sab keh ke bheja hoga.

Chehra chhipana hai iska matlab toh yahi ho sakta tha ki uski identity reveal hone ke chances the. Yaani ki yaha airport par koi aur bhi tha?

Veer ne chaaro orr nazre maari aur Beowulf's Blessings bhi ON kar li. Woh bina kisi se baat kiye seedhe airport ke baahar nikla aur daayi orr mud gaya.

Airport par toh use kuch bhi aisa wesa nazar nahi aaya. Beowulf's Blessings ko usne band kar liya.

Woh East direction me badhne laga aur waqai, kuch hi duri par use ek kaale rang ki gaadi khadi nazar aa gayi. Veer jaise hi waha pahucha, driver turant hi apni seat se baahar nikla. Shayad usne mirror me Veer ko aate dekh liya tha.

Usne sabse pehle haath aage kar Veer se kuch maanga.

Aadmi : Sir! The card please!

Veer : Ohhh! Here!

Woh aadmi wahi card Veer se maang raha tha jo Renshu ne use diya tha ek lifaafe me band kar ke. Veer ke paas abhi bhi woh sahi salamat rakha hua tha. Usne apni bag ki baahar ki ek chain khol woh card nikala aur uss aadmi ko de diya.



Aadmi ne card ko khol acche se dekha. Aur, woh pehchaan gaya ki yeh wahi card tha.

Aadmi : Please Sir!

Usne Veer ke liye darwaza khola aur andar baithne ka ishaara kiya. Veer car me baitha aur wo kuch hi palo me airport chorr apni next destination ke liye chal diya.

Aadmi : Ride kaafi lambi hogi Sir. Toh agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat abhi ho, ya kahi rukna ho toh be-jhijak bata dijiyega.

Veer : Ohh? Sure!

Shaam ke abhi 7 baj rahe the aur andhera toh pehle hi ho chuka tha. Agar ride waqai lambi hone waali thi toh shayad use dinner bhi aaj baahar restaurant me hi karna tha.

Raaste me chalte chalte use baahar ka nazaara andar car se saaf saaf nazar aa raha tha. Kintu, Veer ke kaan tab khade hue jab car me radio par chal rahi beech me ek news aayi.

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

‘Hmm?’

Veer ki bauhe upar chadh gayi.

‘Mr. Nicholson!?’

Naam usne pehle toh kabhi nahi suna tha. Isliye, usne bas dimaag me iss naam ko baithaya aur zyada soch vichaar nahi kiya.

Woh toh China aa chuka tha. Par kya sab kuch itna hi shaant tha jitna prateet ho raha tha? Jawaab tha~ Nahi! Veer ke aane se pehle hi halaat behad hi kharaab ho rakhe the.

2 din pehle, kuch aisi vardaatein hui jis se poore China me ek sansani mach gayi. Aur, woh thi-

Mr. Nicholson ki hatya!!!

2 days ago…
Heibei Province, Beijing
Night ~ 12:27 PM

*Click* *Click* *Click*

Ek atyant hi khubsoorat ladki apne work area me baith ke kaam kar rahi thi. Raat kaafi ho chuki thi aur bas table lamp aur kuch halki roshni me woh apne kaam me lagi hui thi.




‘This design might be good…!’

Woh apne aap se hi mann me baat kar rahi thi jab uske mann ki awaaz ko sunn ke, ek aur awaaz ne mann me hi uttar diya,

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

[Maybe?]

‘Kahi na kahi, ye design- It’s familiar!’

[Jo suit baahar mannequin par hai, ye uski design ki tarah hai.]

‘Right!’

Woh kuch sketches bana rahi thi. Ye sketches kapdo ke hi the. Kuch coats aur blazers ke sketches. Jinhe woh baad me inke hisaab se stitch karwaane waali thi.

Kaam lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha. Par raat ke 12:30 ab baj chuke the. Bacha hua kaam woh kal bhi kar sakti thi. Yahi soch usne apni fashion sketchbook band ki aur woh wahi haatho me haath table par rakh sarr neeche kar apne vichaaro me chali gayi.



‘Kal jo kuch bhi hua-’

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

‘I actually don’t!’

[That was surprising. Everything okay?]

‘Yes!’

[Toh fir?]

‘Kuch nahi Freya!’

Woh abhi aur kuch baatein karti jab baahar se kuch aahat paate hi uske kaan chaukanne ho gaye.

Uske ghar ke theek baahar police ka jhund maujood tha. Do police waale darwaaze ke theek saamne khade the aur kaan laga ke andar ka jayza le rahe the.

Iske baad unme se ek ne ishaara kiya aur baaki sabhi ne haami bhari. Aur, fir usne darwaze ko zorr se apni raid skills ka istemaal kar dhadalle se khol diya.

*BAAAAMMMMM*

Awaaz aate hi andar baithi woh ladki apni jagah se uth khadi hui.

“Police are here!!!!”

“You are under arrest!!!”

“Andar jo koi bhi hai seedhe seedhe chup chaap baahar aa jaaye.”

Ekdum se saare police waale uss ghar me ghus gaye. Unme se kuch mahilaaye bhi thi police ki uniforms me. Kareeban 10 se 12 log ikhatte dhaawa bol diye the.

Andar ki orr aate hi unki nazre uss ladki par padi jo apni jagah par khadi aashcharya me unhe dekh rahi thi.

Officer : Ma'am! You are under arrest.

Ladki : Wh-Whaaaatt!!?

Lady officer : Aapke khilaaf kuch jankaari mili hai. Hume talaashi leni hogi. Tab tak aap under arrest hai. Please! Co-operate!

Ladki : M-Mere khilaaf? Kaisi jankaari?

Lady officer : I'm sorry! Hum apne sources ki jankaari nahi de sakte. Please co-operate.

Ladki : Arre par k-kal hi toh- kal hi toh aap sab-

Uski bauhe chinta me kass gayi. Kal yahi log use saantvna de rahe the aur aaj-

Aaj ye sab ke sab uske ghar me iss tareeqe se ghus ke use hi arrest kar rahe the!?

Ladki : Aap me se koi mujhe batayega ki kya ho raha hai?

Par, uska virodh kisi kaam ka nahi tha. Police toh jaise pehle se hi mann bana ke aayi thi ki kya karna hai aur kya nahi.

Jab unhe pata lag gaya ki uss ladki ke alaawa ghar me aur koi nahi tha toh baahar khade 2 aur police waale andar aa gaye. Parantu, woh akele nahi the.

Unke saath the chhaan been karne waale K–9 Dogs. Yaani ki woh kutte jo tehqiqaat me police ki madad karwaate the aur unke dwara hi trained kiye jaate the.

Woh ladki behad hi confusion me thi. Ye sab ho kya raha tha? Toh wahi police waale apne trained dogs ko jagah jagah le jaate hue investigation me lag gaye.

Idhar uss ladki ke paas female officers khadi hui thi. Bhale hi woh ladki iss samay sandigdh thi parantu, uske saath koi bhi galat sulook nahi kiya jaa raha tha.

Woh koi aisi wesi ladki nahi thi, ye baat lagbhag harr koi jaanta tha. Police waale toh bakhubi parichit the inn sab se.

Yahi kaaran tha jo woh thoda tareeqe se pesh aa rahe the. Warna agar koi aur hota, toh use toh daboch ke seedha neeche lita gaya hota.

Ladki abhi bhi confused thi. Woh jaanana chaah rahi thi ki akhir chal kya raha tha?

Ladki : Kya mein ye bhi nahi jaan sakti ki achanak ye sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar pe?

Lady officer : Aap shaq ke ghere me hai ma'am. Hume pata chala hai ki aap suspects me se ek hai.

Ladki : Aur kaise pata chala ye?

Lady officer : Hamare kuch sources hai. Aur, naam mat puchiyega. Please!

Woh ladki harr guzarte pal aur bhi confused hui jaa rahi thi. Akhir ho kya raha tha? Uska naam kisne diya? Kaun use fassaana chaah raha tha? Use iss baat ka koi darr nahi tha ki use arrest kiya jaa raha hai, use iss baat ki chinta thi ki akhir kisne uske khilaaf ye sab jankaari di???

Wo aaklan kar rahi thi. Jab akasmaat K-9 dogs ke bhaukne ki awaaz ne use wapas se hosh me laaya.

Andar dogs ko kuch praapt hua tha. Woh turant hi apni jagah se bhaagte hue andar jaane ko hui par peeche se lady officer ne use pakad liya. Officer uske saath saath hi peeche peeche aayi tabhi use andar aane mila.

Jaise hi ladki ne andar dekha toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Dogs kareeban ek 15cm lambi sui ki taraf dekh bhauk rahe the. Police officer ne turant hi apne gloves pehne haatho se uss sui ko uthaaya. Sui ki nok par kuch laga hua tha.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

Woh kuch na boli. Bas mann me hi sochne par majboor ho gayi.

‘Y-Ye-! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?’

[Tumhara dhyaan kaha hai? Kya abhi bhi tum puch rahi ho? Of course!!! Someone intruded.]

‘H-Huh!!?’

[Aur tum kuch pata bhi nahi kar paayi. I'm disappointed.]

‘P-Par-!’

[We are not this weak.]

‘How can it be-!?’

[Socho zara. Kaun ho sakta hai? Have you provoked someone unintentionally? I don't remember anyone.]

‘Mujhe nahi pata.’

[Or…]

‘???’

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

Ladki ki bauhe ek pal ke liye kass gayi. Abhi toh uski samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.

Toh wahi, Officer ne uss sui ko haath me liye fir apni ek kamar par latki thaili se ek sample bag nikala.

Officer : Kya ye wahi hai?

Officer 2 : Shayad haan! Jaanch ke liye bhejna padega.

Officer : Matlab jankaari sahi thi?

Officer 2 (nods) : Hmm!

Aur, idhar ladki ke bagal se khadi lady officer ne kaha,

Lady officer : I'm sorry to say ma'am. But you are now a prime suspect. We are taking you to the police station.

Ladki toh jaise inn sab ko dekh wahi jamm chuki thi. Khaas kar uss 15cm lambi sui ko waha rakhe dekh use sabse bada jhatka laga tha.

Ye mumkin kaise hua bhala? Mann me yahi sawaal chal raha tha.

[Not gonna lie it is interesting though haha.]

Uske mann me Freya ki awaaz goonji. Zaahir hai woh ek system owner thi. Agar woh chaahti toh inn sab se badi hi asaani se bach ke nikal sakti thi.

Inme se koi bhi vyakti use pakad bhi nahi paata. Lekin, fir bhi woh bhaagi nahi. Kyuki, woh khud bhi curious thi. Aur na hi woh kabhi bhaagne waalo me se thi.

Jab usne koi gunaah nahi kiya toh bhaaga kyu jaaye? Magar, saboot uske khilaaf the.

Officer : Yaha kuch likha bhi hua hai. Aur, ab toh ye almost confirm ho gaya hai.

Officer 2 : Kya likha hai?

Officer : Garofano!!!!

Sunte hi ladki ek baar fir jhatka khaate hue uss officer ko dekhi. Sui ke pichhle hisse par badi hi bareeki se ek naam kureda gaya tha aur badi hi sundar likhawat se kureda hua tha.

Itni patli si jagah par bhi uss sui me carving kar ke naam likhna apne aap me ek bahut bada kaam tha. Parantu, bareeki se dekhne par naam asaani se nazar aa jaata tha. Aur, police officer ko bhi zyada samay nahi laga use padhne me.

Ab aage aur kuch dekhne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Jo unhe milna tha, woh unhone baramad kar liya tha.

Lady officer : Now please, come with us.

Woh uss ladki ko peeche se dhakelte hue baahar ki orr le gayi. Ladki besudh si lady officer ke saath chali jaa rahi thi. Abhi bhi usme darr nahi tha. Bas, hairani thi. Ye sab ho kaise gaya?

Ghar ke baahar laate hue ghar ke ird gird bhi ‘no trespassing’ waala tape maar diya gaya tha. Aur, use turant hi police ki gaadi me baitha diya gaya.



Bilkul, woh ladki koi aur ladki nahi, Garofano hi thi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh 15cm lambi sui uski hi thi.

Aur dekhte hi dekhte uska pyaara sa ek ghar ‘no trespassing' area me tabdeel ho gaya. Aas paas ke logo me ye charcha ka vishay bann gaya aur jald hi news me bhi aa gaya aur fir poore China me ye khabar sansani ki tarah fel gayi. Garofano ko seedhe giraft me le liya gaya.

Yahi thi… 2 din pehle ki ghatna.

***

Current day…
Sichuan Province,
On the outskirts of Panzhihua city, Night ~ 2:13 AM

Veeraan se raaste par chalti Hui gaadi kuch derr baad jangal se bhari ek jagah par aa kar ruki. Waqai, jaisa ki driver ne kaha tha bilkul wesa hi hua.

Lambi ride itni lambi hogi, Veer ko iska bilkul andaaza nahi tha. Chengdu city se woh Panzhihua city aa chuka tha.

Panzhihua bhi Sichuan Province ki hi ek city thi jo behad South me padti thi. Idhar se jangal lagna shuru ho jaata tha.



Veer jab car se utra toh usne dekha ki bahut hi bade area me bana ek siheyuan ghar saamne maujood tha.

Wahi ghar jisme beecho beech aangan hota tha. Aur ird gird kayi saare makaan. Wesa hi poora structure uski aankhon ke saamne maujood tha.

Ghar kaafi purana lag raha tha. Saamne bhavya gate ke upar bade aksharo me Chinese me kuch likha hua tha.

Veer ne mann me hi Translator ki madad se use Translate kia toh paaya ki udhar ‘Li Renshu’ hi likha hua tha.

Yaani yahi Ghar tha Li Renshu ka. Ghar ho na ho parantu ye property zaroor uski hi thi.

Veer ne idhar udhar dekh thoda aur jaayza liya. Raat ke gehre andhere me use pedo ke siwae aur toh kuch nazar nahi aaya. Shayad ilaake ki asli parakh ab ujaale me hi ho sakti thi.

Driver bhi car se utra aur usne Veer ko aage badhne ke liye ishaara kiya,

Driver : Aaiye Sir!

Veer ka trolley bag wahi liye hua tha.

[Interesting! Li Renshu koi bigshot lagta hai.]

‘Yeah!’

[Warna aisi jagah pe itni badi zameen hona. Koi bhi sarkaar yuhi allow nahi karegi.]

‘Hmm! I won't be surprised agar woh government ka hi koi official ho toh.’

[Ohh! That's a wild guess.]

‘Hume nahi pata uski asli identity kya hai. But I hope iss tour me mujhe kaafi kuch jaanane ko mil jayega.’

[Of course! I'm looking forward too. I hope iss tour me tum finally… ‘mommy’ keh hi doge. Fufu~]

‘Tum firse mat shuru ho jaana.’

[That's how I am. Deal with it.]

‘Aur mein kuch aur raaz bhi shayad jaan pau.’

[Jaise ki?]

‘Jaise ki system ke raaz. Tumhaare raaz.’

[Ohh!!? *smirks* You wanna know?]

‘Of course!’

[Call me ‘Mommy’ and I'll let you know everything you want to know. Kaisi hai deal? I think it's a fair one.]

‘Huh?’

[You only have to say just one word ~ ‘Mommy’ aur mein tumhe poori information de dungi apni.]

‘Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mein tumhari baat ka yakeen karunga?’

[What?? Tumhe lag raha hai mein mazaak kar rahi hu?]

‘Toh aur kya hai yeh?’

[I'm not joking okay! Trust me! Just call me ‘Mommy’ once and I'll-]

‘No thanks! I'll pass!’

[Y-You-!!!]

‘By the way, Profit Path ka Path 1 ek baar aur dikhaana zara. Dekhu kaha tak achieve kar liya hai mene.’

Pari ne aage kuch na kaha. Veer ke mann me uske saamne Path 1 khol use de diya bas.



Veer ne sabse pehle upar ke naam padhe. Arohi, Ragini, Mukta, Bhumika, Sudha aur Varsha.

Inn naamo ke theek bagal se jude hue the ~ Food, Clothes, Medicines, perfumes.

Path 1 ki wajah se hi Veer ne Mukta ko Hotel Prestige me Head Chef me taur par bheja tha.

Profit Path poora idea de deta tha ki kisko kaha par bhejne se faayda hoga.

Arohi, Ragini isme abhi chhoti chhoti madad karwa rahi thi. Magar, Veer jaanta tha ki woh dono hi iss field ke liye nahi thi.

Food me Sonali, Bhumika aur Mukta sabhi hi apni apni jagaho ko poorn roop se sambhaal rahi thi.

Clothes me use Louis mil chuka tha. Aur, Sudha jo silaayi me sabse avval thi Veer ne use bhi niyukt kar liya tha.

Aushdhiyo aur perfumes ke liye uske paas Varsha thi. Kuch naukar chaakar, paisa, jagah aur thoda samaan dene ki bas deri thi Veer ko. Aur, ye kaam bhi shuru ho jaana tha.

Veer ne fir neeche waale blocks ko dekha. Shyaam, farmers jo Land se jude hue the.



Zaahir hai usne ye bhi kar liya tha. Sabhi kisaan Bhai bade hi acche se apna kaam kar rahe the.

Woh aur neeche ke blocks par aaya. Jisme supply ke sang Saili, Louis aur Kaera ka naam tha.



Louis aur supply ka rishta toh Veer samajh chuka tha. Aur usne woh kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha.

Louis ko materials provide karwana, yaani ki poori supply dena ye Veer jaanta tha. Usne ye execute kar liya tha.

Parantu, abhi bhi jo use thoda sa pareshan kar raha tha woh tha Saili aur Kaera ka naam.

Saili Mukta ki hi beti thi. Mukta rang me behad kaali thi toh uski beti bhi rang roop me kaali hi thi. Magar, kaali hone ke bawajood uske nain naksh alag hi starr ke the. Ek prakaar se Saili ko black beauty kehna sahi tha.

Parantu, isme Kaera ka kya role? Veer ko iske baare me aur sochna tha. Woh punah neeche ke blocks me aaya.



Aabha, Shreya aur YouTube Brand. Usne ye bhi execute kar diya tha.

Lagbhag lagbhag usne poora Path 1 implement kar diya tha. Jald hi woh Path 2 draw kar sakta tha Profit Path se.

Parantu uske liye bhi pehle iss Path 1 ka complete hona zaroori tha.

Veer inn sab cheezo ko mann se alag kar saamne ki orr apna dhyaan wapas se laaya.

Woh dono pichhle 3 minute se bas chalte jaa rahe the. Jagah itni badi thi ki kaafi samay toh andar baahar jaane me hi lag jaaya karta tha.

Andar ka pravesh waale ek ghar ke paas akhir kaar woh dono hi pahuch gaye.

Aadmi : Idhar se aapko hi jaana hoga Sir. Aapka bag aapke kamre me bhijwa diya jayega. Be-fiqr rahiye.

Veer : Well…! Okay!

Shayad inhe bina ijazat ke andar aana allowed nahi tha. Veer kaafi impressed tha, inki loyalty ke liye. Renshu ne apni image ekdum tagdi bana ke rakhi thi.

Woh aage badha. Pehle waale ghar me ghuste hi use ku h modern ghar ke jaisa feel hua. Lights lagi hui thi, decoration ka kaafi samaan tha. Kuch bade se flower vases aur kuch unique si paintings tangi hui thi.

Shayad ye welcoming area tha. Ye sirf saaj sajja ke liye hi tha. Isme koi rehta nahi tha.

Woh abhi waha se badh aage aangan me jaane hi waala tha jab saamne se awaaz aayi,

“Who allowed you to trespass, Mister!??”

Veer : Huhh!!??

Aur Veer ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Sirf awaaz sunn ke nahi thame the. Saamne maujood uss saundarya ko dekh ke bhi qadam rukne par majboor ho gaye the.




Laal rang ki night dress me ek behad hi khubsoorat ladki uske saamne khadi hui thi.

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.




“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

Aaj ke liye itna hi guys.
Chinatown arc shuru ho gaya hai. This update consists of around 5k words. Kuch updates itni hi length ke rahenge toh kuch bade honge. Woh depend karega unke scenes ke upar. Kayi saari cheezein ho rahi hai ikhatte. Agle update se romanch bas badhna hi hai. Toh likes aur revos rakhne ka. Target apna uss baar 160 hai. Kaafi research lag rahi hai mujhe iss arc me. Toh apna apna kaam karne ka man.
Dhanyavaad.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the.

Informative...

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the.

Great research....

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha?

Yes, Excellent analysis of human nature. Being special for someone is a great feeling... Specially whom you love most...

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Hahaha.... Tej is caught red-handed...

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

Lagta hai Nicholson koi bahut bada businessman hai, jiski property per kisi ki nazar hai... Shayad Garofano company ka owner...

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

Lagta hai Garofano apne aap ko Garofano company se link hone ko chupa rahi hai... ya phir apne asli profession ko chupa rahi hai, j

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

Hmmm... cover-up...

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

To Garofano bhi property ki uttradhikari ho sakti hai, aur isliye suspect bhi ho sakti hai.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

I think ab weh Garofano se link ho gayi hai...

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

So she is suspecting someone... Ab dekhna hai ki yeh sab Legend se kaise link hota hai... kyon ki Garofano to Renshu ki taraf hai jo Order ka head lag raha hai.

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Pari is again at her seductive best...

*Ding*

[No information available.]

To yeh ladki bhi ek system holder hai... isi se shayad Renshu pehle baat kar raha tha...

Things are just hotting up, jaldi hi kuch hone wala hai...

 

[Story readers]

Update - 168 ~ In a custody​

Ab tak...

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Ab aage...

China!

Bhala iss naam se kaun anjaan hoga? Ek aisa desh jo kareeban 1.4 billion se bhi adhik jan-sankhya se bhara hua tha aur poori duniya me population ke naam pe dusre sthaan par aata tha.

Jaise bhaarat me alag alag raajya yaani ki states maujood the, wese hi China me bhi the. Magar, inhe yaha ‘States’ ki jagah ‘Provinces’ kaha jaata tha.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the. Par, ek tha jo ki claim kiya gaya tha yaani ki hathiyaya gaya tha. Aur, woh tha ~ Taiwan!!! Toh ye kaha jaa sakta tha ki China me kul ab 23 provinces the.




Harr desh me kuch jagaahe aisi hoti thi jo aadhunik yug ko darshaati thi toh wahi kuch aisi hoti thi jo apni pracheen sanranchna ke liye jaani jaati thi. Jaise bhaarat me Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata jaise sheher naye daur aur aadhunikta ko darshaate the, kuch wese hi China me Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing jaise sheher the jo modern aur smart cities ke liye jaane jaate the.

Magar, kuch sheher aise hote the jo aadhunik jeevan se thoda dur rehte the aur uss zameen par pracheenta ko bhaanpa jaa sakta tha.

Iska matlab ye ki China me bhi do pehlu the. Ek jo modernisation ko darshaata tha.

Lambi lambi buildings, vibhinn prakaar ke insaano dwaara banaaye gaye ajeebo gareeb structures, harr taraf lights, tez zindagi, harr kaam ke liye uplabdh machines, atyadhik traffic, clubs, pubs, aur na jaane kya kya. Ye tha woh China jo aam aadmi dekhta tha. Aur, dekhne jaata tha aur jo media dwara dikhaya jaata tha.



Kintu, dusra China tha jo ancient times ko jataata tha.

The Great Wall of China, ghane bade jangal, oonche oonche pahaad, vibhinn nadiyaan. Ye tha ancient China.

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the. Isi structure par puraane China ke ghar bana karte the.




Ek bade parivaar ke liye yeh sarvashreshth maana jaata tha. Yaha tak ki Rajao ke daur me bhi iska istemal hua karta tha. Prakrati ki taazi hawa, jangalo se laga hua ek siheyuan ghar, puraane tareeqe se rehna-odhna aur khaana-peena, kheti kisaani aur wahi ke kuch aapas ke logo me bol chaal aur bhai chaara.

Ye tha Dusra China!!




Jo aam media aur aam logo ki pahuch se thoda dur tha. Kyuki, ye ilaake aksar jangalo se bhare rehte the. Yaha par rehna hi apne aap me ek challenge tha. Comfort dhoondhne waala vyakti inn jagaho ke liye nahi tha.

Parantu, Veer ko isi ilaake me abhi jaana tha. Uski destination thi China ka Sichuan province.

Ghar se woh bina bataaye toh nikal aaya tha. Majbooran use khat likh ke aise hi nikalna pada. Woh jaanta tha ki agar woh aisa nahi karta toh pakke se Tej use akele iss tarah jaane nahi deti.

Par, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki China me yaha khatra hone waala tha. Aise me bhala woh kaise Tej ko ya apne kisi aur ko saath laa sakta tha?

Veer ka Chinese Visa taiyaar tha. Usne itne antraal me banwa liya tha. Woh nahi jaanta tha ki yaha par use kinn musibato ka saamna karna tha. Lekin, itna zaroor jaanta tha ki uske liye kuch bhi ab asaan nahi hone waala tha.

Plane airstrip par utra aur woh luggage leke akhir kaar China ki zameen par apne qadam rakha.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.




Sichuan province ka jaana maana Airport. Ab idhar se Veer ko dusri location par jaana tha.

[We are here!]

Plane se utarte hi Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi.

‘Yeah!’

[Tumhe kya lagta hai? For what purpose Li Renshu invited us?]

‘I don’t know!’

[Well! I just want to see some fun~ Aur chaahungi ki tum *grins* khud ko mere hawaale kar do.]

‘Jo kabhi nahi hone waala. *sighs*’

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Uske confidence par Veer bas muskuraaya aur woh aage badh gaya. Uska sabse pehla kaam tha apne phone ke network ko activate karana. Airport par hi use SIM aur network ki facilities mil gayi thi. Veer ne pehle apne phone ki calling ko chaalu karwaya aur fir hi woh yaha se nikalne ke liye hua. Abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab uska jeb me rakha phone turant hi bajne laga.

Wahi rukte hue usne apna phone nikaala. Screen par dekha toh pata chala uski Teju dii ka Whatsapp call aa raha tha. Ye swabhavik tha. Na jaane akhir kab se uske ghar waale use call kar rahe honge, par plane me toh mobile airplane mode pe hi rehta tha. Baat bhala kaise ho sakti thi?

Veer ne turant hi call ko uthaaya,

Veer : Hello?

Aur udhar se Tej ki zorr se awaaz aayi,

Tej : Veeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!??

Veer ne apne kaano se phone ko thoda dur kiya. Shayad uski Teju dii behad pareshan thi. Awaaz se samajh aa raha tha.

Veer : Haan Teju di!?

Tej : Haan Teju dii? Haan teju dii ke bacche!!! T-Tum-!! Tum me aqal hai kuch??? Kaha ho tum? Kya kaam aa gaya achanak se? Aur- Aur ye bina bataaye kyu chale gaye ghar se? Abhi kaha ho? Kiske saath ho?

Tej kabhi bhi uss se iss tarah baat nahi karti thi. Woh uss par garajti nahi thi. Hamesha namr swabhaav aur thoda sharmaate hue hi pesh aati thi. Magar, Veer ki iss harqat se uska dimaag bhi kharab tha. Aur, yahi kaaran tha jo woh itni hyper ho rakhi thi.

Veer : Hey! Hey! Calm down dii! Mein ekdum theek hu!

Tej : Tum abhi kaha ho?

[You cannot tell her!]

Pari ki awaaz firse uske mann me goonji. Iss baar Veer Pari ki baat se sehmat tha. Woh nahi bata sakta tha Tej ko. Tej jab Paris aa sakti thi toh isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh China bhi use dhoondhne ke liye aa sakti thi. Aur, iss baar woh koi risk nahi lena chaahta tha.

Veer : Mein thoda kaam se baahar aaya hu dii!

Tej : Baahar kaha?

Veer : Baahar matlab-!! India ke baahar!

Tej : T-Tum-!!!

Uska gussa fir badh gaya. Laga tha ki Veer India me hi agar hoga toh woh yu jhattse waha pahuch jayegi. Magar, Veer India ke baahar tha. Usne ek gehri saans lete hue khud ko shaant kiya.

Tej : India ke baahar kaha ho? Which country?

Veer : I-!!

Tej : ???

Veer : I’m sorry dii! Abhi mein aapko nahi bata sakta.

Tej : Y-You-!!!! Kyuuu? Kyu nahi bata sakte tum?

Veer : Kyuki, mein jaanta hu ki agar maine aapko bataya toh aap turant hi idhar aa jaogi.

Tej : Toh kya galat hai usme? Tum harr baar mujhse aur hum sab se bhaagte kyu rehte ho?

Veer : Galat kuch nahi hai dii! Aur, mein kisi se nahi bhaag raha hu. In fact, mein toh chaahta hi hu ki aap sab mere saath hi raho.

Tej : T-Toh fir? Fir kya dikkat hai Veer?

Veer : Because-!!! *sighs* Kuch nahi dii! Abhi mein jaha hu waha ke liye Visa lagta hai. Agar mein aapko bulaana bhi chaahu toh aap nahi aa sakti. Toh, ab iss baare me zyada mat sochiye.

Tej : T-Tum firse Paris gaye ho na?

Veer : Nahi! Agar udhar hota toh aap sab aa nahi jaate? *smiles* Ek short visa hi lagta hai udhar toh. Par nahi! Mein udhar nahi hu!

Tej : Toh kaha ho tum? P-Please! Veer! Bata do! Kaha ho tum!? Yaha sab pareshaan hai!

Veer (sighs) : I’m sorry dii! Maine kaha na! Mein abhi nahi bata sakta.

Itne me tabhi Tej ne audio call ko video call me switch kar ke lagaaya. Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, usne Video call bhi receive kar liya.

Aur, uski badi behan ka khubsoorat chehra uske saamne haazir tha. Woh chinta me lag rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Ab khush?

Veer nahi jaanta tha ki Tej ne screen recording bhi on kar rakhi thi. Woh jaise tese kar ke koi saboot dhoondhna chaah rahi thi ki jis se pata lag sake akhir uska chhota bhai kaun se airport par hai.

Kintu, Veer uss se aur bhi zyada chalaak tha. Usne screen aisi kar rakhi thi ki siwae uske chehre ke aas paas ka kuch bhi nazar nahi raha tha.

Tej : Tch!! T-Tum-! Tum baithe kyu ho? Mujh par dhyaan mat do. Apna kaam karte raho.

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Tej : *frowns*

Tej ko chori pakdi gayi thi.

Veer : Haha! Jo aap soch rahi ho dii wo mein pehle hi soch liya tha. It's useless.

Tej : Kyu???

Iss baar uski awaaz kamzor thi.

Veer : !!??

Tej : Kyu Veer? Mujhe yakeen tha ki hamara rishta mazboot ho chuka hai. Aur, tum mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhipaoge. Fir bhi tumne-

Veer : Iss baar ye zaroori hai dii. Mere liye nahi! Balki, aap sab ke liye.

Tej : ??

Veer : Mein aapse jhoot nahi bol paata. Jab se hamara rishta mazboot hua hai tab se hi ye ho raha hai. Mein keval aap se jhoot nahi bol paata hu. Aur, isliye mein aapse iss baare me baat nahi karna chaahta ki mein kaha par hu.

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha? Woh khush iss baat se nahi thi ki Veer jhooth nahi bol paa raha uss se.

Woh khush thi ‘keval’ shabd se. Yaani Veer baakiyo se jhooth bolne me saksham tha. Bas keval woh hi ek thi jiske liye uska bhai jhooth nahi bol paata tha.

Ye ‘keval’ shabd tha jo Tej ke dil me tarange utpann kar raha tha.

Veer : Aur mein chaahta hu ki-

Woh abhi uss se kuch kehne hi wala tha ki itne me uske phone me ‘beep beep’ ki awaaz aane lagi. Koi dusra call aa raha tha.

Veer : Ek call aa raha hai dii! Mein aapse baad me baat karta hu.

Tej : What??? Wait!!! Veeerrr!!

Par tab tak call cut chuka tha. Idhar Veer ne jaise hi unknown number se call uthaaya, uss orr se ek aadmi ki awaaz aayi.

“Mister Veer?”

Veer : Yes! It's me!

Aadmi : Where are you right now?

Veer : At the airport.

Woh aadmi angrezi me hi baat kar raha tha.

Aadmi : Okay! I would like you to please cover your face first. I'm your escort sent by Lord Renshu himself.

Veer : Ohh!?

Aadmi : Yes! Please come out and then head towards the East. You will spot a black colored car. That's our car. Ignore all the other people. There's no need to chat with anyone.

Veer (nods) : Got it!

Aadmi : I'm waiting, Sir!

Veer ne call rakha aur usne apna ek mask chehre par daal liya. Shayad maamla gambheer tha. Renshu ne hi driver ko ye sab keh ke bheja hoga.

Chehra chhipana hai iska matlab toh yahi ho sakta tha ki uski identity reveal hone ke chances the. Yaani ki yaha airport par koi aur bhi tha?

Veer ne chaaro orr nazre maari aur Beowulf's Blessings bhi ON kar li. Woh bina kisi se baat kiye seedhe airport ke baahar nikla aur daayi orr mud gaya.

Airport par toh use kuch bhi aisa wesa nazar nahi aaya. Beowulf's Blessings ko usne band kar liya.

Woh East direction me badhne laga aur waqai, kuch hi duri par use ek kaale rang ki gaadi khadi nazar aa gayi. Veer jaise hi waha pahucha, driver turant hi apni seat se baahar nikla. Shayad usne mirror me Veer ko aate dekh liya tha.

Usne sabse pehle haath aage kar Veer se kuch maanga.

Aadmi : Sir! The card please!

Veer : Ohhh! Here!

Woh aadmi wahi card Veer se maang raha tha jo Renshu ne use diya tha ek lifaafe me band kar ke. Veer ke paas abhi bhi woh sahi salamat rakha hua tha. Usne apni bag ki baahar ki ek chain khol woh card nikala aur uss aadmi ko de diya.



Aadmi ne card ko khol acche se dekha. Aur, woh pehchaan gaya ki yeh wahi card tha.

Aadmi : Please Sir!

Usne Veer ke liye darwaza khola aur andar baithne ka ishaara kiya. Veer car me baitha aur wo kuch hi palo me airport chorr apni next destination ke liye chal diya.

Aadmi : Ride kaafi lambi hogi Sir. Toh agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat abhi ho, ya kahi rukna ho toh be-jhijak bata dijiyega.

Veer : Ohh? Sure!

Shaam ke abhi 7 baj rahe the aur andhera toh pehle hi ho chuka tha. Agar ride waqai lambi hone waali thi toh shayad use dinner bhi aaj baahar restaurant me hi karna tha.

Raaste me chalte chalte use baahar ka nazaara andar car se saaf saaf nazar aa raha tha. Kintu, Veer ke kaan tab khade hue jab car me radio par chal rahi beech me ek news aayi.

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

‘Hmm?’

Veer ki bauhe upar chadh gayi.

‘Mr. Nicholson!?’

Naam usne pehle toh kabhi nahi suna tha. Isliye, usne bas dimaag me iss naam ko baithaya aur zyada soch vichaar nahi kiya.

Woh toh China aa chuka tha. Par kya sab kuch itna hi shaant tha jitna prateet ho raha tha? Jawaab tha~ Nahi! Veer ke aane se pehle hi halaat behad hi kharaab ho rakhe the.

2 din pehle, kuch aisi vardaatein hui jis se poore China me ek sansani mach gayi. Aur, woh thi-

Mr. Nicholson ki hatya!!!

***

2 days ago…
Heibei Province, Beijing
Night ~ 12:27 PM

*Click* *Click* *Click*

Ek atyant hi khubsoorat ladki apne work area me baith ke kaam kar rahi thi. Raat kaafi ho chuki thi aur bas table lamp aur kuch halki roshni me woh apne kaam me lagi hui thi.




‘This design might be good…!’

Woh apne aap se hi mann me baat kar rahi thi jab uske mann ki awaaz ko sunn ke, ek aur awaaz ne mann me hi uttar diya,

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

[Maybe?]

‘Kahi na kahi, ye design- It’s familiar!’

[Jo suit baahar mannequin par hai, ye uski design ki tarah hai.]

‘Right!’

Woh kuch sketches bana rahi thi. Ye sketches kapdo ke hi the. Kuch coats aur blazers ke sketches. Jinhe woh baad me inke hisaab se stitch karwaane waali thi.

Kaam lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha. Par raat ke 12:30 ab baj chuke the. Bacha hua kaam woh kal bhi kar sakti thi. Yahi soch usne apni fashion sketchbook band ki aur woh wahi haatho me haath table par rakh sarr neeche kar apne vichaaro me chali gayi.



‘Kal jo kuch bhi hua-’

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

‘I actually don’t!’

[That was surprising. Everything okay?]

‘Yes!’

[Toh fir?]

‘Kuch nahi Freya!’

Woh abhi aur kuch baatein karti jab baahar se kuch aahat paate hi uske kaan chaukanne ho gaye.

Uske ghar ke theek baahar police ka jhund maujood tha. Do police waale darwaaze ke theek saamne khade the aur kaan laga ke andar ka jayza le rahe the.

Iske baad unme se ek ne ishaara kiya aur baaki sabhi ne haami bhari. Aur, fir usne darwaze ko zorr se apni raid skills ka istemaal kar dhadalle se khol diya.

*BAAAAMMMMM*

Awaaz aate hi andar baithi woh ladki apni jagah se uth khadi hui.

“Police are here!!!!”

“You are under arrest!!!”

“Andar jo koi bhi hai seedhe seedhe chup chaap baahar aa jaaye.”

Ekdum se saare police waale uss ghar me ghus gaye. Unme se kuch mahilaaye bhi thi police ki uniforms me. Kareeban 10 se 12 log ikhatte dhaawa bol diye the.

Andar ki orr aate hi unki nazre uss ladki par padi jo apni jagah par khadi aashcharya me unhe dekh rahi thi.

Officer : Ma'am! You are under arrest.

Ladki : Wh-Whaaaatt!!?

Lady officer : Aapke khilaaf kuch jankaari mili hai. Hume talaashi leni hogi. Tab tak aap under arrest hai. Please! Co-operate!

Ladki : M-Mere khilaaf? Kaisi jankaari?

Lady officer : I'm sorry! Hum apne sources ki jankaari nahi de sakte. Please co-operate.

Ladki : Arre par k-kal hi toh- kal hi toh aap sab-

Uski bauhe chinta me kass gayi. Kal yahi log use saantvna de rahe the aur aaj-

Aaj ye sab ke sab uske ghar me iss tareeqe se ghus ke use hi arrest kar rahe the!?

Ladki : Aap me se koi mujhe batayega ki kya ho raha hai?

Par, uska virodh kisi kaam ka nahi tha. Police toh jaise pehle se hi mann bana ke aayi thi ki kya karna hai aur kya nahi.

Jab unhe pata lag gaya ki uss ladki ke alaawa ghar me aur koi nahi tha toh baahar khade 2 aur police waale andar aa gaye. Parantu, woh akele nahi the.

Unke saath the chhaan been karne waale K–9 Dogs. Yaani ki woh kutte jo tehqiqaat me police ki madad karwaate the aur unke dwara hi trained kiye jaate the.

Woh ladki behad hi confusion me thi. Ye sab ho kya raha tha? Toh wahi police waale apne trained dogs ko jagah jagah le jaate hue investigation me lag gaye.

Idhar uss ladki ke paas female officers khadi hui thi. Bhale hi woh ladki iss samay sandigdh thi parantu, uske saath koi bhi galat sulook nahi kiya jaa raha tha.

Woh koi aisi wesi ladki nahi thi, ye baat lagbhag harr koi jaanta tha. Police waale toh bakhubi parichit the inn sab se.

Yahi kaaran tha jo woh thoda tareeqe se pesh aa rahe the. Warna agar koi aur hota, toh use toh daboch ke seedha neeche lita gaya hota.

Ladki abhi bhi confused thi. Woh jaanana chaah rahi thi ki akhir chal kya raha tha?

Ladki : Kya mein ye bhi nahi jaan sakti ki achanak ye sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar pe?

Lady officer : Aap shaq ke ghere me hai ma'am. Hume pata chala hai ki aap suspects me se ek hai.

Ladki : Aur kaise pata chala ye?

Lady officer : Hamare kuch sources hai. Aur, naam mat puchiyega. Please!

Woh ladki harr guzarte pal aur bhi confused hui jaa rahi thi. Akhir ho kya raha tha? Uska naam kisne diya? Kaun use fassaana chaah raha tha? Use iss baat ka koi darr nahi tha ki use arrest kiya jaa raha hai, use iss baat ki chinta thi ki akhir kisne uske khilaaf ye sab jankaari di???

Wo aaklan kar rahi thi. Jab akasmaat K-9 dogs ke bhaukne ki awaaz ne use wapas se hosh me laaya.

Andar dogs ko kuch praapt hua tha. Woh turant hi apni jagah se bhaagte hue andar jaane ko hui par peeche se lady officer ne use pakad liya. Officer uske saath saath hi peeche peeche aayi tabhi use andar aane mila.

Jaise hi ladki ne andar dekha toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Dogs kareeban ek 15cm lambi sui ki taraf dekh bhauk rahe the. Police officer ne turant hi apne gloves pehne haatho se uss sui ko uthaaya. Sui ki nok par kuch laga hua tha.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

Woh kuch na boli. Bas mann me hi sochne par majboor ho gayi.

‘Y-Ye-! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?’

[Tumhara dhyaan kaha hai? Kya abhi bhi tum puch rahi ho? Of course!!! Someone intruded.]

‘H-Huh!!?’

[Aur tum kuch pata bhi nahi kar paayi. I'm disappointed.]

‘P-Par-!’

[We are not this weak.]

‘How can it be-!?’

[Socho zara. Kaun ho sakta hai? Have you provoked someone unintentionally? I don't remember anyone.]

‘Mujhe nahi pata.’

[Or…]

‘???’

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

Ladki ki bauhe ek pal ke liye kass gayi. Abhi toh uski samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.

Toh wahi, Officer ne uss sui ko haath me liye fir apni ek kamar par latki thaili se ek sample bag nikala.

Officer : Kya ye wahi hai?

Officer 2 : Shayad haan! Jaanch ke liye bhejna padega.

Officer : Matlab jankaari sahi thi?

Officer 2 (nods) : Hmm!

Aur, idhar ladki ke bagal se khadi lady officer ne kaha,

Lady officer : I'm sorry to say ma'am. But you are now a prime suspect. We are taking you to the police station.

Ladki toh jaise inn sab ko dekh wahi jamm chuki thi. Khaas kar uss 15cm lambi sui ko waha rakhe dekh use sabse bada jhatka laga tha.

Ye mumkin kaise hua bhala? Mann me yahi sawaal chal raha tha.

[Not gonna lie it is interesting though haha.]

Uske mann me Freya ki awaaz goonji. Zaahir hai woh ek system owner thi. Agar woh chaahti toh inn sab se badi hi asaani se bach ke nikal sakti thi.

Inme se koi bhi vyakti use pakad bhi nahi paata. Lekin, fir bhi woh bhaagi nahi. Kyuki, woh khud bhi curious thi. Aur na hi woh kabhi bhaagne waalo me se thi.

Jab usne koi gunaah nahi kiya toh bhaaga kyu jaaye? Magar, saboot uske khilaaf the.

Officer : Yaha kuch likha bhi hua hai. Aur, ab toh ye almost confirm ho gaya hai.

Officer 2 : Kya likha hai?

Officer : Garofano!!!!

Sunte hi ladki ek baar fir jhatka khaate hue uss officer ko dekhi. Sui ke pichhle hisse par badi hi bareeki se ek naam kureda gaya tha aur badi hi sundar likhawat se kureda hua tha.

Itni patli si jagah par bhi uss sui me carving kar ke naam likhna apne aap me ek bahut bada kaam tha. Parantu, bareeki se dekhne par naam asaani se nazar aa jaata tha. Aur, police officer ko bhi zyada samay nahi laga use padhne me.

Ab aage aur kuch dekhne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Jo unhe milna tha, woh unhone baramad kar liya tha.

Lady officer : Now please, come with us.

Woh uss ladki ko peeche se dhakelte hue baahar ki orr le gayi. Ladki besudh si lady officer ke saath chali jaa rahi thi. Abhi bhi usme darr nahi tha. Bas, hairani thi. Ye sab ho kaise gaya?

Ghar ke baahar laate hue ghar ke ird gird bhi ‘no trespassing’ waala tape maar diya gaya tha. Aur, use turant hi police ki gaadi me baitha diya gaya.



Bilkul, woh ladki koi aur ladki nahi, Garofano hi thi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh 15cm lambi sui uski hi thi.

Aur dekhte hi dekhte uska pyaara sa ek ghar ‘no trespassing' area me tabdeel ho gaya. Aas paas ke logo me ye charcha ka vishay bann gaya aur jald hi news me bhi aa gaya aur fir poore China me ye khabar sansani ki tarah fel gayi. Garofano ko seedhe giraft me le liya gaya.

Yahi thi… 2 din pehle ki ghatna.

***

Current day…
Sichuan Province,
On the outskirts of Panzhihua city, Night ~ 2:13 AM

Veeraan se raaste par chalti Hui gaadi kuch derr baad jangal se bhari ek jagah par aa kar ruki. Waqai, jaisa ki driver ne kaha tha bilkul wesa hi hua.

Lambi ride itni lambi hogi, Veer ko iska bilkul andaaza nahi tha. Chengdu city se woh Panzhihua city aa chuka tha.

Panzhihua bhi Sichuan Province ki hi ek city thi jo behad South me padti thi. Idhar se jangal lagna shuru ho jaata tha.



Veer jab car se utra toh usne dekha ki bahut hi bade area me bana ek siheyuan ghar saamne maujood tha.

Wahi ghar jisme beecho beech aangan hota tha. Aur ird gird kayi saare makaan. Wesa hi poora structure uski aankhon ke saamne maujood tha.

Ghar kaafi purana lag raha tha. Saamne bhavya gate ke upar bade aksharo me Chinese me kuch likha hua tha.

Veer ne mann me hi Translator ki madad se use Translate kia toh paaya ki udhar ‘Li Renshu’ hi likha hua tha.

Yaani yahi Ghar tha Li Renshu ka. Ghar ho na ho parantu ye property zaroor uski hi thi.

Veer ne idhar udhar dekh thoda aur jaayza liya. Raat ke gehre andhere me use pedo ke siwae aur toh kuch nazar nahi aaya. Shayad ilaake ki asli parakh ab ujaale me hi ho sakti thi.

Driver bhi car se utra aur usne Veer ko aage badhne ke liye ishaara kiya,

Driver : Aaiye Sir!

Veer ka trolley bag wahi liye hua tha.

[Interesting! Li Renshu koi bigshot lagta hai.]

‘Yeah!’

[Warna aisi jagah pe itni badi zameen hona. Koi bhi sarkaar yuhi allow nahi karegi.]

‘Hmm! I won't be surprised agar woh government ka hi koi official ho toh.’

[Ohh! That's a wild guess.]

‘Hume nahi pata uski asli identity kya hai. But I hope iss tour me mujhe kaafi kuch jaanane ko mil jayega.’

[Of course! I'm looking forward too. I hope iss tour me tum finally… ‘mommy’ keh hi doge. Fufu~]

‘Tum firse mat shuru ho jaana.’

[That's how I am. Deal with it.]

‘Aur mein kuch aur raaz bhi shayad jaan pau.’

[Jaise ki?]

‘Jaise ki system ke raaz. Tumhaare raaz.’

[Ohh!!? *smirks* You wanna know?]

‘Of course!’

[Call me ‘Mommy’ and I'll let you know everything you want to know. Kaisi hai deal? I think it's a fair one.]

‘Huh?’

[You only have to say just one word ~ ‘Mommy’ aur mein tumhe poori information de dungi apni.]

‘Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mein tumhari baat ka yakeen karunga?’

[What?? Tumhe lag raha hai mein mazaak kar rahi hu?]

‘Toh aur kya hai yeh?’

[I'm not joking okay! Trust me! Just call me ‘Mommy’ once and I'll-]

‘No thanks! I'll pass!’

[Y-You-!!!]

‘By the way, Profit Path ka Path 1 ek baar aur dikhaana zara. Dekhu kaha tak achieve kar liya hai mene.’

Pari ne aage kuch na kaha. Veer ke mann me uske saamne Path 1 khol use de diya bas.



Veer ne sabse pehle upar ke naam padhe. Arohi, Ragini, Mukta, Bhumika, Sudha aur Varsha.

Inn naamo ke theek bagal se jude hue the ~ Food, Clothes, Medicines, perfumes.

Path 1 ki wajah se hi Veer ne Mukta ko Hotel Prestige me Head Chef me taur par bheja tha.

Profit Path poora idea de deta tha ki kisko kaha par bhejne se faayda hoga.

Arohi, Ragini isme abhi chhoti chhoti madad karwa rahi thi. Magar, Veer jaanta tha ki woh dono hi iss field ke liye nahi thi.

Food me Sonali, Bhumika aur Mukta sabhi hi apni apni jagaho ko poorn roop se sambhaal rahi thi.

Clothes me use Louis mil chuka tha. Aur, Sudha jo silaayi me sabse avval thi Veer ne use bhi niyukt kar liya tha.

Aushdhiyo aur perfumes ke liye uske paas Varsha thi. Kuch naukar chaakar, paisa, jagah aur thoda samaan dene ki bas deri thi Veer ko. Aur, ye kaam bhi shuru ho jaana tha.

Veer ne fir neeche waale blocks ko dekha. Shyaam, farmers jo Land se jude hue the.



Zaahir hai usne ye bhi kar liya tha. Sabhi kisaan Bhai bade hi acche se apna kaam kar rahe the.

Woh aur neeche ke blocks par aaya. Jisme supply ke sang Saili, Louis aur Kaera ka naam tha.



Louis aur supply ka rishta toh Veer samajh chuka tha. Aur usne woh kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha.

Louis ko materials provide karwana, yaani ki poori supply dena ye Veer jaanta tha. Usne ye execute kar liya tha.

Parantu, abhi bhi jo use thoda sa pareshan kar raha tha woh tha Saili aur Kaera ka naam.

Saili Mukta ki hi beti thi. Mukta rang me behad kaali thi toh uski beti bhi rang roop me kaali hi thi. Magar, kaali hone ke bawajood uske nain naksh alag hi starr ke the. Ek prakaar se Saili ko black beauty kehna sahi tha.

Parantu, isme Kaera ka kya role? Veer ko iske baare me aur sochna tha. Woh punah neeche ke blocks me aaya.



Aabha, Shreya aur YouTube Brand. Usne ye bhi execute kar diya tha.

Lagbhag lagbhag usne poora Path 1 implement kar diya tha. Jald hi woh Path 2 draw kar sakta tha Profit Path se.

Parantu uske liye bhi pehle iss Path 1 ka complete hona zaroori tha.

Veer inn sab cheezo ko mann se alag kar saamne ki orr apna dhyaan wapas se laaya.

Woh dono pichhle 3 minute se bas chalte jaa rahe the. Jagah itni badi thi ki kaafi samay toh andar baahar jaane me hi lag jaaya karta tha.

Andar ka pravesh waale ek ghar ke paas akhir kaar woh dono hi pahuch gaye.

Aadmi : Idhar se aapko hi jaana hoga Sir. Aapka bag aapke kamre me bhijwa diya jayega. Be-fiqr rahiye.

Veer : Well…! Okay!

Shayad inhe bina ijazat ke andar aana allowed nahi tha. Veer kaafi impressed tha, inki loyalty ke liye. Renshu ne apni image ekdum tagdi bana ke rakhi thi.

Woh aage badha. Pehle waale ghar me ghuste hi use ku h modern ghar ke jaisa feel hua. Lights lagi hui thi, decoration ka kaafi samaan tha. Kuch bade se flower vases aur kuch unique si paintings tangi hui thi.

Shayad ye welcoming area tha. Ye sirf saaj sajja ke liye hi tha. Isme koi rehta nahi tha.

Woh abhi waha se badh aage aangan me jaane hi waala tha jab saamne se awaaz aayi,

“Who allowed you to trespass, Mister!??”

Veer : Huhh!!??

Aur Veer ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Sirf awaaz sunn ke nahi thame the. Saamne maujood uss saundarya ko dekh ke bhi qadam rukne par majboor ho gaye the.




Laal rang ki night dress me ek behad hi khubsoorat ladki uske saamne khadi hui thi.

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.




“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

[Kuldipr99]

Update - 168 ~ In a custody​

Ab tak...

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Ab aage...

China!

Bhala iss naam se kaun anjaan hoga? Ek aisa desh jo kareeban 1.4 billion se bhi adhik jan-sankhya se bhara hua tha aur poori duniya me population ke naam pe dusre sthaan par aata tha.

Jaise bhaarat me alag alag raajya yaani ki states maujood the, wese hi China me bhi the. Magar, inhe yaha ‘States’ ki jagah ‘Provinces’ kaha jaata tha.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the. Par, ek tha jo ki claim kiya gaya tha yaani ki hathiyaya gaya tha. Aur, woh tha ~ Taiwan!!! Toh ye kaha jaa sakta tha ki China me kul ab 23 provinces the.




Harr desh me kuch jagaahe aisi hoti thi jo aadhunik yug ko darshaati thi toh wahi kuch aisi hoti thi jo apni pracheen sanranchna ke liye jaani jaati thi. Jaise bhaarat me Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata jaise sheher naye daur aur aadhunikta ko darshaate the, kuch wese hi China me Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing jaise sheher the jo modern aur smart cities ke liye jaane jaate the.

Magar, kuch sheher aise hote the jo aadhunik jeevan se thoda dur rehte the aur uss zameen par pracheenta ko bhaanpa jaa sakta tha.

Iska matlab ye ki China me bhi do pehlu the. Ek jo modernisation ko darshaata tha.

Lambi lambi buildings, vibhinn prakaar ke insaano dwaara banaaye gaye ajeebo gareeb structures, harr taraf lights, tez zindagi, harr kaam ke liye uplabdh machines, atyadhik traffic, clubs, pubs, aur na jaane kya kya. Ye tha woh China jo aam aadmi dekhta tha. Aur, dekhne jaata tha aur jo media dwara dikhaya jaata tha.



Kintu, dusra China tha jo ancient times ko jataata tha.

The Great Wall of China, ghane bade jangal, oonche oonche pahaad, vibhinn nadiyaan. Ye tha ancient China.

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the. Isi structure par puraane China ke ghar bana karte the.




Ek bade parivaar ke liye yeh sarvashreshth maana jaata tha. Yaha tak ki Rajao ke daur me bhi iska istemal hua karta tha. Prakrati ki taazi hawa, jangalo se laga hua ek siheyuan ghar, puraane tareeqe se rehna-odhna aur khaana-peena, kheti kisaani aur wahi ke kuch aapas ke logo me bol chaal aur bhai chaara.

Ye tha Dusra China!!




Jo aam media aur aam logo ki pahuch se thoda dur tha. Kyuki, ye ilaake aksar jangalo se bhare rehte the. Yaha par rehna hi apne aap me ek challenge tha. Comfort dhoondhne waala vyakti inn jagaho ke liye nahi tha.

Parantu, Veer ko isi ilaake me abhi jaana tha. Uski destination thi China ka Sichuan province.

Ghar se woh bina bataaye toh nikal aaya tha. Majbooran use khat likh ke aise hi nikalna pada. Woh jaanta tha ki agar woh aisa nahi karta toh pakke se Tej use akele iss tarah jaane nahi deti.

Par, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki China me yaha khatra hone waala tha. Aise me bhala woh kaise Tej ko ya apne kisi aur ko saath laa sakta tha?

Veer ka Chinese Visa taiyaar tha. Usne itne antraal me banwa liya tha. Woh nahi jaanta tha ki yaha par use kinn musibato ka saamna karna tha. Lekin, itna zaroor jaanta tha ki uske liye kuch bhi ab asaan nahi hone waala tha.

Plane airstrip par utra aur woh luggage leke akhir kaar China ki zameen par apne qadam rakha.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.




Sichuan province ka jaana maana Airport. Ab idhar se Veer ko dusri location par jaana tha.

[We are here!]

Plane se utarte hi Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi.

‘Yeah!’

[Tumhe kya lagta hai? For what purpose Li Renshu invited us?]

‘I don’t know!’

[Well! I just want to see some fun~ Aur chaahungi ki tum *grins* khud ko mere hawaale kar do.]

‘Jo kabhi nahi hone waala. *sighs*’

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Uske confidence par Veer bas muskuraaya aur woh aage badh gaya. Uska sabse pehla kaam tha apne phone ke network ko activate karana. Airport par hi use SIM aur network ki facilities mil gayi thi. Veer ne pehle apne phone ki calling ko chaalu karwaya aur fir hi woh yaha se nikalne ke liye hua. Abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab uska jeb me rakha phone turant hi bajne laga.

Wahi rukte hue usne apna phone nikaala. Screen par dekha toh pata chala uski Teju dii ka Whatsapp call aa raha tha. Ye swabhavik tha. Na jaane akhir kab se uske ghar waale use call kar rahe honge, par plane me toh mobile airplane mode pe hi rehta tha. Baat bhala kaise ho sakti thi?

Veer ne turant hi call ko uthaaya,

Veer : Hello?

Aur udhar se Tej ki zorr se awaaz aayi,

Tej : Veeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!??

Veer ne apne kaano se phone ko thoda dur kiya. Shayad uski Teju dii behad pareshan thi. Awaaz se samajh aa raha tha.

Veer : Haan Teju di!?

Tej : Haan Teju dii? Haan teju dii ke bacche!!! T-Tum-!! Tum me aqal hai kuch??? Kaha ho tum? Kya kaam aa gaya achanak se? Aur- Aur ye bina bataaye kyu chale gaye ghar se? Abhi kaha ho? Kiske saath ho?

Tej kabhi bhi uss se iss tarah baat nahi karti thi. Woh uss par garajti nahi thi. Hamesha namr swabhaav aur thoda sharmaate hue hi pesh aati thi. Magar, Veer ki iss harqat se uska dimaag bhi kharab tha. Aur, yahi kaaran tha jo woh itni hyper ho rakhi thi.

Veer : Hey! Hey! Calm down dii! Mein ekdum theek hu!

Tej : Tum abhi kaha ho?

[You cannot tell her!]

Pari ki awaaz firse uske mann me goonji. Iss baar Veer Pari ki baat se sehmat tha. Woh nahi bata sakta tha Tej ko. Tej jab Paris aa sakti thi toh isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh China bhi use dhoondhne ke liye aa sakti thi. Aur, iss baar woh koi risk nahi lena chaahta tha.

Veer : Mein thoda kaam se baahar aaya hu dii!

Tej : Baahar kaha?

Veer : Baahar matlab-!! India ke baahar!

Tej : T-Tum-!!!

Uska gussa fir badh gaya. Laga tha ki Veer India me hi agar hoga toh woh yu jhattse waha pahuch jayegi. Magar, Veer India ke baahar tha. Usne ek gehri saans lete hue khud ko shaant kiya.

Tej : India ke baahar kaha ho? Which country?

Veer : I-!!

Tej : ???

Veer : I’m sorry dii! Abhi mein aapko nahi bata sakta.

Tej : Y-You-!!!! Kyuuu? Kyu nahi bata sakte tum?

Veer : Kyuki, mein jaanta hu ki agar maine aapko bataya toh aap turant hi idhar aa jaogi.

Tej : Toh kya galat hai usme? Tum harr baar mujhse aur hum sab se bhaagte kyu rehte ho?

Veer : Galat kuch nahi hai dii! Aur, mein kisi se nahi bhaag raha hu. In fact, mein toh chaahta hi hu ki aap sab mere saath hi raho.

Tej : T-Toh fir? Fir kya dikkat hai Veer?

Veer : Because-!!! *sighs* Kuch nahi dii! Abhi mein jaha hu waha ke liye Visa lagta hai. Agar mein aapko bulaana bhi chaahu toh aap nahi aa sakti. Toh, ab iss baare me zyada mat sochiye.

Tej : T-Tum firse Paris gaye ho na?

Veer : Nahi! Agar udhar hota toh aap sab aa nahi jaate? *smiles* Ek short visa hi lagta hai udhar toh. Par nahi! Mein udhar nahi hu!

Tej : Toh kaha ho tum? P-Please! Veer! Bata do! Kaha ho tum!? Yaha sab pareshaan hai!

Veer (sighs) : I’m sorry dii! Maine kaha na! Mein abhi nahi bata sakta.

Itne me tabhi Tej ne audio call ko video call me switch kar ke lagaaya. Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, usne Video call bhi receive kar liya.

Aur, uski badi behan ka khubsoorat chehra uske saamne haazir tha. Woh chinta me lag rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Ab khush?

Veer nahi jaanta tha ki Tej ne screen recording bhi on kar rakhi thi. Woh jaise tese kar ke koi saboot dhoondhna chaah rahi thi ki jis se pata lag sake akhir uska chhota bhai kaun se airport par hai.

Kintu, Veer uss se aur bhi zyada chalaak tha. Usne screen aisi kar rakhi thi ki siwae uske chehre ke aas paas ka kuch bhi nazar nahi raha tha.

Tej : Tch!! T-Tum-! Tum baithe kyu ho? Mujh par dhyaan mat do. Apna kaam karte raho.

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Tej : *frowns*

Tej ko chori pakdi gayi thi.

Veer : Haha! Jo aap soch rahi ho dii wo mein pehle hi soch liya tha. It's useless.

Tej : Kyu???

Iss baar uski awaaz kamzor thi.

Veer : !!??

Tej : Kyu Veer? Mujhe yakeen tha ki hamara rishta mazboot ho chuka hai. Aur, tum mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhipaoge. Fir bhi tumne-

Veer : Iss baar ye zaroori hai dii. Mere liye nahi! Balki, aap sab ke liye.

Tej : ??

Veer : Mein aapse jhoot nahi bol paata. Jab se hamara rishta mazboot hua hai tab se hi ye ho raha hai. Mein keval aap se jhoot nahi bol paata hu. Aur, isliye mein aapse iss baare me baat nahi karna chaahta ki mein kaha par hu.

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha? Woh khush iss baat se nahi thi ki Veer jhooth nahi bol paa raha uss se.

Woh khush thi ‘keval’ shabd se. Yaani Veer baakiyo se jhooth bolne me saksham tha. Bas keval woh hi ek thi jiske liye uska bhai jhooth nahi bol paata tha.

Ye ‘keval’ shabd tha jo Tej ke dil me tarange utpann kar raha tha.

Veer : Aur mein chaahta hu ki-

Woh abhi uss se kuch kehne hi wala tha ki itne me uske phone me ‘beep beep’ ki awaaz aane lagi. Koi dusra call aa raha tha.

Veer : Ek call aa raha hai dii! Mein aapse baad me baat karta hu.

Tej : What??? Wait!!! Veeerrr!!

Par tab tak call cut chuka tha. Idhar Veer ne jaise hi unknown number se call uthaaya, uss orr se ek aadmi ki awaaz aayi.

“Mister Veer?”

Veer : Yes! It's me!

Aadmi : Where are you right now?

Veer : At the airport.

Woh aadmi angrezi me hi baat kar raha tha.

Aadmi : Okay! I would like you to please cover your face first. I'm your escort sent by Lord Renshu himself.

Veer : Ohh!?

Aadmi : Yes! Please come out and then head towards the East. You will spot a black colored car. That's our car. Ignore all the other people. There's no need to chat with anyone.

Veer (nods) : Got it!

Aadmi : I'm waiting, Sir!

Veer ne call rakha aur usne apna ek mask chehre par daal liya. Shayad maamla gambheer tha. Renshu ne hi driver ko ye sab keh ke bheja hoga.

Chehra chhipana hai iska matlab toh yahi ho sakta tha ki uski identity reveal hone ke chances the. Yaani ki yaha airport par koi aur bhi tha?

Veer ne chaaro orr nazre maari aur Beowulf's Blessings bhi ON kar li. Woh bina kisi se baat kiye seedhe airport ke baahar nikla aur daayi orr mud gaya.

Airport par toh use kuch bhi aisa wesa nazar nahi aaya. Beowulf's Blessings ko usne band kar liya.

Woh East direction me badhne laga aur waqai, kuch hi duri par use ek kaale rang ki gaadi khadi nazar aa gayi. Veer jaise hi waha pahucha, driver turant hi apni seat se baahar nikla. Shayad usne mirror me Veer ko aate dekh liya tha.

Usne sabse pehle haath aage kar Veer se kuch maanga.

Aadmi : Sir! The card please!

Veer : Ohhh! Here!

Woh aadmi wahi card Veer se maang raha tha jo Renshu ne use diya tha ek lifaafe me band kar ke. Veer ke paas abhi bhi woh sahi salamat rakha hua tha. Usne apni bag ki baahar ki ek chain khol woh card nikala aur uss aadmi ko de diya.



Aadmi ne card ko khol acche se dekha. Aur, woh pehchaan gaya ki yeh wahi card tha.

Aadmi : Please Sir!

Usne Veer ke liye darwaza khola aur andar baithne ka ishaara kiya. Veer car me baitha aur wo kuch hi palo me airport chorr apni next destination ke liye chal diya.

Aadmi : Ride kaafi lambi hogi Sir. Toh agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat abhi ho, ya kahi rukna ho toh be-jhijak bata dijiyega.

Veer : Ohh? Sure!

Shaam ke abhi 7 baj rahe the aur andhera toh pehle hi ho chuka tha. Agar ride waqai lambi hone waali thi toh shayad use dinner bhi aaj baahar restaurant me hi karna tha.

Raaste me chalte chalte use baahar ka nazaara andar car se saaf saaf nazar aa raha tha. Kintu, Veer ke kaan tab khade hue jab car me radio par chal rahi beech me ek news aayi.

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

‘Hmm?’

Veer ki bauhe upar chadh gayi.

‘Mr. Nicholson!?’

Naam usne pehle toh kabhi nahi suna tha. Isliye, usne bas dimaag me iss naam ko baithaya aur zyada soch vichaar nahi kiya.

Woh toh China aa chuka tha. Par kya sab kuch itna hi shaant tha jitna prateet ho raha tha? Jawaab tha~ Nahi! Veer ke aane se pehle hi halaat behad hi kharaab ho rakhe the.

2 din pehle, kuch aisi vardaatein hui jis se poore China me ek sansani mach gayi. Aur, woh thi-

Mr. Nicholson ki hatya!!!

2 days ago…
Heibei Province, Beijing
Night ~ 12:27 PM

*Click* *Click* *Click*

Ek atyant hi khubsoorat ladki apne work area me baith ke kaam kar rahi thi. Raat kaafi ho chuki thi aur bas table lamp aur kuch halki roshni me woh apne kaam me lagi hui thi.




‘This design might be good…!’

Woh apne aap se hi mann me baat kar rahi thi jab uske mann ki awaaz ko sunn ke, ek aur awaaz ne mann me hi uttar diya,

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

[Maybe?]

‘Kahi na kahi, ye design- It’s familiar!’

[Jo suit baahar mannequin par hai, ye uski design ki tarah hai.]

‘Right!’

Woh kuch sketches bana rahi thi. Ye sketches kapdo ke hi the. Kuch coats aur blazers ke sketches. Jinhe woh baad me inke hisaab se stitch karwaane waali thi.

Kaam lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha. Par raat ke 12:30 ab baj chuke the. Bacha hua kaam woh kal bhi kar sakti thi. Yahi soch usne apni fashion sketchbook band ki aur woh wahi haatho me haath table par rakh sarr neeche kar apne vichaaro me chali gayi.



‘Kal jo kuch bhi hua-’

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

‘I actually don’t!’

[That was surprising. Everything okay?]

‘Yes!’

[Toh fir?]

‘Kuch nahi Freya!’

Woh abhi aur kuch baatein karti jab baahar se kuch aahat paate hi uske kaan chaukanne ho gaye.

Uske ghar ke theek baahar police ka jhund maujood tha. Do police waale darwaaze ke theek saamne khade the aur kaan laga ke andar ka jayza le rahe the.

Iske baad unme se ek ne ishaara kiya aur baaki sabhi ne haami bhari. Aur, fir usne darwaze ko zorr se apni raid skills ka istemaal kar dhadalle se khol diya.

*BAAAAMMMMM*

Awaaz aate hi andar baithi woh ladki apni jagah se uth khadi hui.

“Police are here!!!!”

“You are under arrest!!!”

“Andar jo koi bhi hai seedhe seedhe chup chaap baahar aa jaaye.”

Ekdum se saare police waale uss ghar me ghus gaye. Unme se kuch mahilaaye bhi thi police ki uniforms me. Kareeban 10 se 12 log ikhatte dhaawa bol diye the.

Andar ki orr aate hi unki nazre uss ladki par padi jo apni jagah par khadi aashcharya me unhe dekh rahi thi.

Officer : Ma'am! You are under arrest.

Ladki : Wh-Whaaaatt!!?

Lady officer : Aapke khilaaf kuch jankaari mili hai. Hume talaashi leni hogi. Tab tak aap under arrest hai. Please! Co-operate!

Ladki : M-Mere khilaaf? Kaisi jankaari?

Lady officer : I'm sorry! Hum apne sources ki jankaari nahi de sakte. Please co-operate.

Ladki : Arre par k-kal hi toh- kal hi toh aap sab-

Uski bauhe chinta me kass gayi. Kal yahi log use saantvna de rahe the aur aaj-

Aaj ye sab ke sab uske ghar me iss tareeqe se ghus ke use hi arrest kar rahe the!?

Ladki : Aap me se koi mujhe batayega ki kya ho raha hai?

Par, uska virodh kisi kaam ka nahi tha. Police toh jaise pehle se hi mann bana ke aayi thi ki kya karna hai aur kya nahi.

Jab unhe pata lag gaya ki uss ladki ke alaawa ghar me aur koi nahi tha toh baahar khade 2 aur police waale andar aa gaye. Parantu, woh akele nahi the.

Unke saath the chhaan been karne waale K–9 Dogs. Yaani ki woh kutte jo tehqiqaat me police ki madad karwaate the aur unke dwara hi trained kiye jaate the.

Woh ladki behad hi confusion me thi. Ye sab ho kya raha tha? Toh wahi police waale apne trained dogs ko jagah jagah le jaate hue investigation me lag gaye.

Idhar uss ladki ke paas female officers khadi hui thi. Bhale hi woh ladki iss samay sandigdh thi parantu, uske saath koi bhi galat sulook nahi kiya jaa raha tha.

Woh koi aisi wesi ladki nahi thi, ye baat lagbhag harr koi jaanta tha. Police waale toh bakhubi parichit the inn sab se.

Yahi kaaran tha jo woh thoda tareeqe se pesh aa rahe the. Warna agar koi aur hota, toh use toh daboch ke seedha neeche lita gaya hota.

Ladki abhi bhi confused thi. Woh jaanana chaah rahi thi ki akhir chal kya raha tha?

Ladki : Kya mein ye bhi nahi jaan sakti ki achanak ye sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar pe?

Lady officer : Aap shaq ke ghere me hai ma'am. Hume pata chala hai ki aap suspects me se ek hai.

Ladki : Aur kaise pata chala ye?

Lady officer : Hamare kuch sources hai. Aur, naam mat puchiyega. Please!

Woh ladki harr guzarte pal aur bhi confused hui jaa rahi thi. Akhir ho kya raha tha? Uska naam kisne diya? Kaun use fassaana chaah raha tha? Use iss baat ka koi darr nahi tha ki use arrest kiya jaa raha hai, use iss baat ki chinta thi ki akhir kisne uske khilaaf ye sab jankaari di???

Wo aaklan kar rahi thi. Jab akasmaat K-9 dogs ke bhaukne ki awaaz ne use wapas se hosh me laaya.

Andar dogs ko kuch praapt hua tha. Woh turant hi apni jagah se bhaagte hue andar jaane ko hui par peeche se lady officer ne use pakad liya. Officer uske saath saath hi peeche peeche aayi tabhi use andar aane mila.

Jaise hi ladki ne andar dekha toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Dogs kareeban ek 15cm lambi sui ki taraf dekh bhauk rahe the. Police officer ne turant hi apne gloves pehne haatho se uss sui ko uthaaya. Sui ki nok par kuch laga hua tha.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

Woh kuch na boli. Bas mann me hi sochne par majboor ho gayi.

‘Y-Ye-! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?’

[Tumhara dhyaan kaha hai? Kya abhi bhi tum puch rahi ho? Of course!!! Someone intruded.]

‘H-Huh!!?’

[Aur tum kuch pata bhi nahi kar paayi. I'm disappointed.]

‘P-Par-!’

[We are not this weak.]

‘How can it be-!?’

[Socho zara. Kaun ho sakta hai? Have you provoked someone unintentionally? I don't remember anyone.]

‘Mujhe nahi pata.’

[Or…]

‘???’

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

Ladki ki bauhe ek pal ke liye kass gayi. Abhi toh uski samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.

Toh wahi, Officer ne uss sui ko haath me liye fir apni ek kamar par latki thaili se ek sample bag nikala.

Officer : Kya ye wahi hai?

Officer 2 : Shayad haan! Jaanch ke liye bhejna padega.

Officer : Matlab jankaari sahi thi?

Officer 2 (nods) : Hmm!

Aur, idhar ladki ke bagal se khadi lady officer ne kaha,

Lady officer : I'm sorry to say ma'am. But you are now a prime suspect. We are taking you to the police station.

Ladki toh jaise inn sab ko dekh wahi jamm chuki thi. Khaas kar uss 15cm lambi sui ko waha rakhe dekh use sabse bada jhatka laga tha.

Ye mumkin kaise hua bhala? Mann me yahi sawaal chal raha tha.

[Not gonna lie it is interesting though haha.]

Uske mann me Freya ki awaaz goonji. Zaahir hai woh ek system owner thi. Agar woh chaahti toh inn sab se badi hi asaani se bach ke nikal sakti thi.

Inme se koi bhi vyakti use pakad bhi nahi paata. Lekin, fir bhi woh bhaagi nahi. Kyuki, woh khud bhi curious thi. Aur na hi woh kabhi bhaagne waalo me se thi.

Jab usne koi gunaah nahi kiya toh bhaaga kyu jaaye? Magar, saboot uske khilaaf the.

Officer : Yaha kuch likha bhi hua hai. Aur, ab toh ye almost confirm ho gaya hai.

Officer 2 : Kya likha hai?

Officer : Garofano!!!!

Sunte hi ladki ek baar fir jhatka khaate hue uss officer ko dekhi. Sui ke pichhle hisse par badi hi bareeki se ek naam kureda gaya tha aur badi hi sundar likhawat se kureda hua tha.

Itni patli si jagah par bhi uss sui me carving kar ke naam likhna apne aap me ek bahut bada kaam tha. Parantu, bareeki se dekhne par naam asaani se nazar aa jaata tha. Aur, police officer ko bhi zyada samay nahi laga use padhne me.

Ab aage aur kuch dekhne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Jo unhe milna tha, woh unhone baramad kar liya tha.

Lady officer : Now please, come with us.

Woh uss ladki ko peeche se dhakelte hue baahar ki orr le gayi. Ladki besudh si lady officer ke saath chali jaa rahi thi. Abhi bhi usme darr nahi tha. Bas, hairani thi. Ye sab ho kaise gaya?

Ghar ke baahar laate hue ghar ke ird gird bhi ‘no trespassing’ waala tape maar diya gaya tha. Aur, use turant hi police ki gaadi me baitha diya gaya.



Bilkul, woh ladki koi aur ladki nahi, Garofano hi thi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh 15cm lambi sui uski hi thi.

Aur dekhte hi dekhte uska pyaara sa ek ghar ‘no trespassing' area me tabdeel ho gaya. Aas paas ke logo me ye charcha ka vishay bann gaya aur jald hi news me bhi aa gaya aur fir poore China me ye khabar sansani ki tarah fel gayi. Garofano ko seedhe giraft me le liya gaya.

Yahi thi… 2 din pehle ki ghatna.

***

Current day…
Sichuan Province,
On the outskirts of Panzhihua city, Night ~ 2:13 AM

Veeraan se raaste par chalti Hui gaadi kuch derr baad jangal se bhari ek jagah par aa kar ruki. Waqai, jaisa ki driver ne kaha tha bilkul wesa hi hua.

Lambi ride itni lambi hogi, Veer ko iska bilkul andaaza nahi tha. Chengdu city se woh Panzhihua city aa chuka tha.

Panzhihua bhi Sichuan Province ki hi ek city thi jo behad South me padti thi. Idhar se jangal lagna shuru ho jaata tha.



Veer jab car se utra toh usne dekha ki bahut hi bade area me bana ek siheyuan ghar saamne maujood tha.

Wahi ghar jisme beecho beech aangan hota tha. Aur ird gird kayi saare makaan. Wesa hi poora structure uski aankhon ke saamne maujood tha.

Ghar kaafi purana lag raha tha. Saamne bhavya gate ke upar bade aksharo me Chinese me kuch likha hua tha.

Veer ne mann me hi Translator ki madad se use Translate kia toh paaya ki udhar ‘Li Renshu’ hi likha hua tha.

Yaani yahi Ghar tha Li Renshu ka. Ghar ho na ho parantu ye property zaroor uski hi thi.

Veer ne idhar udhar dekh thoda aur jaayza liya. Raat ke gehre andhere me use pedo ke siwae aur toh kuch nazar nahi aaya. Shayad ilaake ki asli parakh ab ujaale me hi ho sakti thi.

Driver bhi car se utra aur usne Veer ko aage badhne ke liye ishaara kiya,

Driver : Aaiye Sir!

Veer ka trolley bag wahi liye hua tha.

[Interesting! Li Renshu koi bigshot lagta hai.]

‘Yeah!’

[Warna aisi jagah pe itni badi zameen hona. Koi bhi sarkaar yuhi allow nahi karegi.]

‘Hmm! I won't be surprised agar woh government ka hi koi official ho toh.’

[Ohh! That's a wild guess.]

‘Hume nahi pata uski asli identity kya hai. But I hope iss tour me mujhe kaafi kuch jaanane ko mil jayega.’

[Of course! I'm looking forward too. I hope iss tour me tum finally… ‘mommy’ keh hi doge. Fufu~]

‘Tum firse mat shuru ho jaana.’

[That's how I am. Deal with it.]

‘Aur mein kuch aur raaz bhi shayad jaan pau.’

[Jaise ki?]

‘Jaise ki system ke raaz. Tumhaare raaz.’

[Ohh!!? *smirks* You wanna know?]

‘Of course!’

[Call me ‘Mommy’ and I'll let you know everything you want to know. Kaisi hai deal? I think it's a fair one.]

‘Huh?’

[You only have to say just one word ~ ‘Mommy’ aur mein tumhe poori information de dungi apni.]

‘Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mein tumhari baat ka yakeen karunga?’

[What?? Tumhe lag raha hai mein mazaak kar rahi hu?]

‘Toh aur kya hai yeh?’

[I'm not joking okay! Trust me! Just call me ‘Mommy’ once and I'll-]

‘No thanks! I'll pass!’

[Y-You-!!!]

‘By the way, Profit Path ka Path 1 ek baar aur dikhaana zara. Dekhu kaha tak achieve kar liya hai mene.’

Pari ne aage kuch na kaha. Veer ke mann me uske saamne Path 1 khol use de diya bas.



Veer ne sabse pehle upar ke naam padhe. Arohi, Ragini, Mukta, Bhumika, Sudha aur Varsha.

Inn naamo ke theek bagal se jude hue the ~ Food, Clothes, Medicines, perfumes.

Path 1 ki wajah se hi Veer ne Mukta ko Hotel Prestige me Head Chef me taur par bheja tha.

Profit Path poora idea de deta tha ki kisko kaha par bhejne se faayda hoga.

Arohi, Ragini isme abhi chhoti chhoti madad karwa rahi thi. Magar, Veer jaanta tha ki woh dono hi iss field ke liye nahi thi.

Food me Sonali, Bhumika aur Mukta sabhi hi apni apni jagaho ko poorn roop se sambhaal rahi thi.

Clothes me use Louis mil chuka tha. Aur, Sudha jo silaayi me sabse avval thi Veer ne use bhi niyukt kar liya tha.

Aushdhiyo aur perfumes ke liye uske paas Varsha thi. Kuch naukar chaakar, paisa, jagah aur thoda samaan dene ki bas deri thi Veer ko. Aur, ye kaam bhi shuru ho jaana tha.

Veer ne fir neeche waale blocks ko dekha. Shyaam, farmers jo Land se jude hue the.



Zaahir hai usne ye bhi kar liya tha. Sabhi kisaan Bhai bade hi acche se apna kaam kar rahe the.

Woh aur neeche ke blocks par aaya. Jisme supply ke sang Saili, Louis aur Kaera ka naam tha.



Louis aur supply ka rishta toh Veer samajh chuka tha. Aur usne woh kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha.

Louis ko materials provide karwana, yaani ki poori supply dena ye Veer jaanta tha. Usne ye execute kar liya tha.

Parantu, abhi bhi jo use thoda sa pareshan kar raha tha woh tha Saili aur Kaera ka naam.

Saili Mukta ki hi beti thi. Mukta rang me behad kaali thi toh uski beti bhi rang roop me kaali hi thi. Magar, kaali hone ke bawajood uske nain naksh alag hi starr ke the. Ek prakaar se Saili ko black beauty kehna sahi tha.

Parantu, isme Kaera ka kya role? Veer ko iske baare me aur sochna tha. Woh punah neeche ke blocks me aaya.



Aabha, Shreya aur YouTube Brand. Usne ye bhi execute kar diya tha.

Lagbhag lagbhag usne poora Path 1 implement kar diya tha. Jald hi woh Path 2 draw kar sakta tha Profit Path se.

Parantu uske liye bhi pehle iss Path 1 ka complete hona zaroori tha.

Veer inn sab cheezo ko mann se alag kar saamne ki orr apna dhyaan wapas se laaya.

Woh dono pichhle 3 minute se bas chalte jaa rahe the. Jagah itni badi thi ki kaafi samay toh andar baahar jaane me hi lag jaaya karta tha.

Andar ka pravesh waale ek ghar ke paas akhir kaar woh dono hi pahuch gaye.

Aadmi : Idhar se aapko hi jaana hoga Sir. Aapka bag aapke kamre me bhijwa diya jayega. Be-fiqr rahiye.

Veer : Well…! Okay!

Shayad inhe bina ijazat ke andar aana allowed nahi tha. Veer kaafi impressed tha, inki loyalty ke liye. Renshu ne apni image ekdum tagdi bana ke rakhi thi.

Woh aage badha. Pehle waale ghar me ghuste hi use ku h modern ghar ke jaisa feel hua. Lights lagi hui thi, decoration ka kaafi samaan tha. Kuch bade se flower vases aur kuch unique si paintings tangi hui thi.

Shayad ye welcoming area tha. Ye sirf saaj sajja ke liye hi tha. Isme koi rehta nahi tha.

Woh abhi waha se badh aage aangan me jaane hi waala tha jab saamne se awaaz aayi,

“Who allowed you to trespass, Mister!??”

Veer : Huhh!!??

Aur Veer ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Sirf awaaz sunn ke nahi thame the. Saamne maujood uss saundarya ko dekh ke bhi qadam rukne par majboor ho gaye the.




Laal rang ki night dress me ek behad hi khubsoorat ladki uske saamne khadi hui thi.

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.




“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

[RAAZ]

Update - 168 ~ In a custody​

Ab tak...

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Ab aage...

China!

Bhala iss naam se kaun anjaan hoga? Ek aisa desh jo kareeban 1.4 billion se bhi adhik jan-sankhya se bhara hua tha aur poori duniya me population ke naam pe dusre sthaan par aata tha.

Jaise bhaarat me alag alag raajya yaani ki states maujood the, wese hi China me bhi the. Magar, inhe yaha ‘States’ ki jagah ‘Provinces’ kaha jaata tha.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the. Par, ek tha jo ki claim kiya gaya tha yaani ki hathiyaya gaya tha. Aur, woh tha ~ Taiwan!!! Toh ye kaha jaa sakta tha ki China me kul ab 23 provinces the.




Harr desh me kuch jagaahe aisi hoti thi jo aadhunik yug ko darshaati thi toh wahi kuch aisi hoti thi jo apni pracheen sanranchna ke liye jaani jaati thi. Jaise bhaarat me Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata jaise sheher naye daur aur aadhunikta ko darshaate the, kuch wese hi China me Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing jaise sheher the jo modern aur smart cities ke liye jaane jaate the.

Magar, kuch sheher aise hote the jo aadhunik jeevan se thoda dur rehte the aur uss zameen par pracheenta ko bhaanpa jaa sakta tha.

Iska matlab ye ki China me bhi do pehlu the. Ek jo modernisation ko darshaata tha.

Lambi lambi buildings, vibhinn prakaar ke insaano dwaara banaaye gaye ajeebo gareeb structures, harr taraf lights, tez zindagi, harr kaam ke liye uplabdh machines, atyadhik traffic, clubs, pubs, aur na jaane kya kya. Ye tha woh China jo aam aadmi dekhta tha. Aur, dekhne jaata tha aur jo media dwara dikhaya jaata tha.



Kintu, dusra China tha jo ancient times ko jataata tha.

The Great Wall of China, ghane bade jangal, oonche oonche pahaad, vibhinn nadiyaan. Ye tha ancient China.

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the. Isi structure par puraane China ke ghar bana karte the.




Ek bade parivaar ke liye yeh sarvashreshth maana jaata tha. Yaha tak ki Rajao ke daur me bhi iska istemal hua karta tha. Prakrati ki taazi hawa, jangalo se laga hua ek siheyuan ghar, puraane tareeqe se rehna-odhna aur khaana-peena, kheti kisaani aur wahi ke kuch aapas ke logo me bol chaal aur bhai chaara.

Ye tha Dusra China!!




Jo aam media aur aam logo ki pahuch se thoda dur tha. Kyuki, ye ilaake aksar jangalo se bhare rehte the. Yaha par rehna hi apne aap me ek challenge tha. Comfort dhoondhne waala vyakti inn jagaho ke liye nahi tha.

Parantu, Veer ko isi ilaake me abhi jaana tha. Uski destination thi China ka Sichuan province.

Ghar se woh bina bataaye toh nikal aaya tha. Majbooran use khat likh ke aise hi nikalna pada. Woh jaanta tha ki agar woh aisa nahi karta toh pakke se Tej use akele iss tarah jaane nahi deti.

Par, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki China me yaha khatra hone waala tha. Aise me bhala woh kaise Tej ko ya apne kisi aur ko saath laa sakta tha?

Veer ka Chinese Visa taiyaar tha. Usne itne antraal me banwa liya tha. Woh nahi jaanta tha ki yaha par use kinn musibato ka saamna karna tha. Lekin, itna zaroor jaanta tha ki uske liye kuch bhi ab asaan nahi hone waala tha.

Plane airstrip par utra aur woh luggage leke akhir kaar China ki zameen par apne qadam rakha.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.




Sichuan province ka jaana maana Airport. Ab idhar se Veer ko dusri location par jaana tha.

[We are here!]

Plane se utarte hi Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi.

‘Yeah!’

[Tumhe kya lagta hai? For what purpose Li Renshu invited us?]

‘I don’t know!’

[Well! I just want to see some fun~ Aur chaahungi ki tum *grins* khud ko mere hawaale kar do.]

‘Jo kabhi nahi hone waala. *sighs*’

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Uske confidence par Veer bas muskuraaya aur woh aage badh gaya. Uska sabse pehla kaam tha apne phone ke network ko activate karana. Airport par hi use SIM aur network ki facilities mil gayi thi. Veer ne pehle apne phone ki calling ko chaalu karwaya aur fir hi woh yaha se nikalne ke liye hua. Abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab uska jeb me rakha phone turant hi bajne laga.

Wahi rukte hue usne apna phone nikaala. Screen par dekha toh pata chala uski Teju dii ka Whatsapp call aa raha tha. Ye swabhavik tha. Na jaane akhir kab se uske ghar waale use call kar rahe honge, par plane me toh mobile airplane mode pe hi rehta tha. Baat bhala kaise ho sakti thi?

Veer ne turant hi call ko uthaaya,

Veer : Hello?

Aur udhar se Tej ki zorr se awaaz aayi,

Tej : Veeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!??

Veer ne apne kaano se phone ko thoda dur kiya. Shayad uski Teju dii behad pareshan thi. Awaaz se samajh aa raha tha.

Veer : Haan Teju di!?

Tej : Haan Teju dii? Haan teju dii ke bacche!!! T-Tum-!! Tum me aqal hai kuch??? Kaha ho tum? Kya kaam aa gaya achanak se? Aur- Aur ye bina bataaye kyu chale gaye ghar se? Abhi kaha ho? Kiske saath ho?

Tej kabhi bhi uss se iss tarah baat nahi karti thi. Woh uss par garajti nahi thi. Hamesha namr swabhaav aur thoda sharmaate hue hi pesh aati thi. Magar, Veer ki iss harqat se uska dimaag bhi kharab tha. Aur, yahi kaaran tha jo woh itni hyper ho rakhi thi.

Veer : Hey! Hey! Calm down dii! Mein ekdum theek hu!

Tej : Tum abhi kaha ho?

[You cannot tell her!]

Pari ki awaaz firse uske mann me goonji. Iss baar Veer Pari ki baat se sehmat tha. Woh nahi bata sakta tha Tej ko. Tej jab Paris aa sakti thi toh isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh China bhi use dhoondhne ke liye aa sakti thi. Aur, iss baar woh koi risk nahi lena chaahta tha.

Veer : Mein thoda kaam se baahar aaya hu dii!

Tej : Baahar kaha?

Veer : Baahar matlab-!! India ke baahar!

Tej : T-Tum-!!!

Uska gussa fir badh gaya. Laga tha ki Veer India me hi agar hoga toh woh yu jhattse waha pahuch jayegi. Magar, Veer India ke baahar tha. Usne ek gehri saans lete hue khud ko shaant kiya.

Tej : India ke baahar kaha ho? Which country?

Veer : I-!!

Tej : ???

Veer : I’m sorry dii! Abhi mein aapko nahi bata sakta.

Tej : Y-You-!!!! Kyuuu? Kyu nahi bata sakte tum?

Veer : Kyuki, mein jaanta hu ki agar maine aapko bataya toh aap turant hi idhar aa jaogi.

Tej : Toh kya galat hai usme? Tum harr baar mujhse aur hum sab se bhaagte kyu rehte ho?

Veer : Galat kuch nahi hai dii! Aur, mein kisi se nahi bhaag raha hu. In fact, mein toh chaahta hi hu ki aap sab mere saath hi raho.

Tej : T-Toh fir? Fir kya dikkat hai Veer?

Veer : Because-!!! *sighs* Kuch nahi dii! Abhi mein jaha hu waha ke liye Visa lagta hai. Agar mein aapko bulaana bhi chaahu toh aap nahi aa sakti. Toh, ab iss baare me zyada mat sochiye.

Tej : T-Tum firse Paris gaye ho na?

Veer : Nahi! Agar udhar hota toh aap sab aa nahi jaate? *smiles* Ek short visa hi lagta hai udhar toh. Par nahi! Mein udhar nahi hu!

Tej : Toh kaha ho tum? P-Please! Veer! Bata do! Kaha ho tum!? Yaha sab pareshaan hai!

Veer (sighs) : I’m sorry dii! Maine kaha na! Mein abhi nahi bata sakta.

Itne me tabhi Tej ne audio call ko video call me switch kar ke lagaaya. Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, usne Video call bhi receive kar liya.

Aur, uski badi behan ka khubsoorat chehra uske saamne haazir tha. Woh chinta me lag rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Ab khush?

Veer nahi jaanta tha ki Tej ne screen recording bhi on kar rakhi thi. Woh jaise tese kar ke koi saboot dhoondhna chaah rahi thi ki jis se pata lag sake akhir uska chhota bhai kaun se airport par hai.

Kintu, Veer uss se aur bhi zyada chalaak tha. Usne screen aisi kar rakhi thi ki siwae uske chehre ke aas paas ka kuch bhi nazar nahi raha tha.

Tej : Tch!! T-Tum-! Tum baithe kyu ho? Mujh par dhyaan mat do. Apna kaam karte raho.

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Tej : *frowns*

Tej ko chori pakdi gayi thi.

Veer : Haha! Jo aap soch rahi ho dii wo mein pehle hi soch liya tha. It's useless.

Tej : Kyu???

Iss baar uski awaaz kamzor thi.

Veer : !!??

Tej : Kyu Veer? Mujhe yakeen tha ki hamara rishta mazboot ho chuka hai. Aur, tum mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhipaoge. Fir bhi tumne-

Veer : Iss baar ye zaroori hai dii. Mere liye nahi! Balki, aap sab ke liye.

Tej : ??

Veer : Mein aapse jhoot nahi bol paata. Jab se hamara rishta mazboot hua hai tab se hi ye ho raha hai. Mein keval aap se jhoot nahi bol paata hu. Aur, isliye mein aapse iss baare me baat nahi karna chaahta ki mein kaha par hu.

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha? Woh khush iss baat se nahi thi ki Veer jhooth nahi bol paa raha uss se.

Woh khush thi ‘keval’ shabd se. Yaani Veer baakiyo se jhooth bolne me saksham tha. Bas keval woh hi ek thi jiske liye uska bhai jhooth nahi bol paata tha.

Ye ‘keval’ shabd tha jo Tej ke dil me tarange utpann kar raha tha.

Veer : Aur mein chaahta hu ki-

Woh abhi uss se kuch kehne hi wala tha ki itne me uske phone me ‘beep beep’ ki awaaz aane lagi. Koi dusra call aa raha tha.

Veer : Ek call aa raha hai dii! Mein aapse baad me baat karta hu.

Tej : What??? Wait!!! Veeerrr!!

Par tab tak call cut chuka tha. Idhar Veer ne jaise hi unknown number se call uthaaya, uss orr se ek aadmi ki awaaz aayi.

“Mister Veer?”

Veer : Yes! It's me!

Aadmi : Where are you right now?

Veer : At the airport.

Woh aadmi angrezi me hi baat kar raha tha.

Aadmi : Okay! I would like you to please cover your face first. I'm your escort sent by Lord Renshu himself.

Veer : Ohh!?

Aadmi : Yes! Please come out and then head towards the East. You will spot a black colored car. That's our car. Ignore all the other people. There's no need to chat with anyone.

Veer (nods) : Got it!

Aadmi : I'm waiting, Sir!

Veer ne call rakha aur usne apna ek mask chehre par daal liya. Shayad maamla gambheer tha. Renshu ne hi driver ko ye sab keh ke bheja hoga.

Chehra chhipana hai iska matlab toh yahi ho sakta tha ki uski identity reveal hone ke chances the. Yaani ki yaha airport par koi aur bhi tha?

Veer ne chaaro orr nazre maari aur Beowulf's Blessings bhi ON kar li. Woh bina kisi se baat kiye seedhe airport ke baahar nikla aur daayi orr mud gaya.

Airport par toh use kuch bhi aisa wesa nazar nahi aaya. Beowulf's Blessings ko usne band kar liya.

Woh East direction me badhne laga aur waqai, kuch hi duri par use ek kaale rang ki gaadi khadi nazar aa gayi. Veer jaise hi waha pahucha, driver turant hi apni seat se baahar nikla. Shayad usne mirror me Veer ko aate dekh liya tha.

Usne sabse pehle haath aage kar Veer se kuch maanga.

Aadmi : Sir! The card please!

Veer : Ohhh! Here!

Woh aadmi wahi card Veer se maang raha tha jo Renshu ne use diya tha ek lifaafe me band kar ke. Veer ke paas abhi bhi woh sahi salamat rakha hua tha. Usne apni bag ki baahar ki ek chain khol woh card nikala aur uss aadmi ko de diya.



Aadmi ne card ko khol acche se dekha. Aur, woh pehchaan gaya ki yeh wahi card tha.

Aadmi : Please Sir!

Usne Veer ke liye darwaza khola aur andar baithne ka ishaara kiya. Veer car me baitha aur wo kuch hi palo me airport chorr apni next destination ke liye chal diya.

Aadmi : Ride kaafi lambi hogi Sir. Toh agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat abhi ho, ya kahi rukna ho toh be-jhijak bata dijiyega.

Veer : Ohh? Sure!

Shaam ke abhi 7 baj rahe the aur andhera toh pehle hi ho chuka tha. Agar ride waqai lambi hone waali thi toh shayad use dinner bhi aaj baahar restaurant me hi karna tha.

Raaste me chalte chalte use baahar ka nazaara andar car se saaf saaf nazar aa raha tha. Kintu, Veer ke kaan tab khade hue jab car me radio par chal rahi beech me ek news aayi.

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

‘Hmm?’

Veer ki bauhe upar chadh gayi.

‘Mr. Nicholson!?’

Naam usne pehle toh kabhi nahi suna tha. Isliye, usne bas dimaag me iss naam ko baithaya aur zyada soch vichaar nahi kiya.

Woh toh China aa chuka tha. Par kya sab kuch itna hi shaant tha jitna prateet ho raha tha? Jawaab tha~ Nahi! Veer ke aane se pehle hi halaat behad hi kharaab ho rakhe the.

2 din pehle, kuch aisi vardaatein hui jis se poore China me ek sansani mach gayi. Aur, woh thi-

Mr. Nicholson ki hatya!!!

2 days ago…
Heibei Province, Beijing
Night ~ 12:27 PM

*Click* *Click* *Click*

Ek atyant hi khubsoorat ladki apne work area me baith ke kaam kar rahi thi. Raat kaafi ho chuki thi aur bas table lamp aur kuch halki roshni me woh apne kaam me lagi hui thi.




‘This design might be good…!’

Woh apne aap se hi mann me baat kar rahi thi jab uske mann ki awaaz ko sunn ke, ek aur awaaz ne mann me hi uttar diya,

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

[Maybe?]

‘Kahi na kahi, ye design- It’s familiar!’

[Jo suit baahar mannequin par hai, ye uski design ki tarah hai.]

‘Right!’

Woh kuch sketches bana rahi thi. Ye sketches kapdo ke hi the. Kuch coats aur blazers ke sketches. Jinhe woh baad me inke hisaab se stitch karwaane waali thi.

Kaam lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha. Par raat ke 12:30 ab baj chuke the. Bacha hua kaam woh kal bhi kar sakti thi. Yahi soch usne apni fashion sketchbook band ki aur woh wahi haatho me haath table par rakh sarr neeche kar apne vichaaro me chali gayi.



‘Kal jo kuch bhi hua-’

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

‘I actually don’t!’

[That was surprising. Everything okay?]

‘Yes!’

[Toh fir?]

‘Kuch nahi Freya!’

Woh abhi aur kuch baatein karti jab baahar se kuch aahat paate hi uske kaan chaukanne ho gaye.

Uske ghar ke theek baahar police ka jhund maujood tha. Do police waale darwaaze ke theek saamne khade the aur kaan laga ke andar ka jayza le rahe the.

Iske baad unme se ek ne ishaara kiya aur baaki sabhi ne haami bhari. Aur, fir usne darwaze ko zorr se apni raid skills ka istemaal kar dhadalle se khol diya.

*BAAAAMMMMM*

Awaaz aate hi andar baithi woh ladki apni jagah se uth khadi hui.

“Police are here!!!!”

“You are under arrest!!!”

“Andar jo koi bhi hai seedhe seedhe chup chaap baahar aa jaaye.”

Ekdum se saare police waale uss ghar me ghus gaye. Unme se kuch mahilaaye bhi thi police ki uniforms me. Kareeban 10 se 12 log ikhatte dhaawa bol diye the.

Andar ki orr aate hi unki nazre uss ladki par padi jo apni jagah par khadi aashcharya me unhe dekh rahi thi.

Officer : Ma'am! You are under arrest.

Ladki : Wh-Whaaaatt!!?

Lady officer : Aapke khilaaf kuch jankaari mili hai. Hume talaashi leni hogi. Tab tak aap under arrest hai. Please! Co-operate!

Ladki : M-Mere khilaaf? Kaisi jankaari?

Lady officer : I'm sorry! Hum apne sources ki jankaari nahi de sakte. Please co-operate.

Ladki : Arre par k-kal hi toh- kal hi toh aap sab-

Uski bauhe chinta me kass gayi. Kal yahi log use saantvna de rahe the aur aaj-

Aaj ye sab ke sab uske ghar me iss tareeqe se ghus ke use hi arrest kar rahe the!?

Ladki : Aap me se koi mujhe batayega ki kya ho raha hai?

Par, uska virodh kisi kaam ka nahi tha. Police toh jaise pehle se hi mann bana ke aayi thi ki kya karna hai aur kya nahi.

Jab unhe pata lag gaya ki uss ladki ke alaawa ghar me aur koi nahi tha toh baahar khade 2 aur police waale andar aa gaye. Parantu, woh akele nahi the.

Unke saath the chhaan been karne waale K–9 Dogs. Yaani ki woh kutte jo tehqiqaat me police ki madad karwaate the aur unke dwara hi trained kiye jaate the.

Woh ladki behad hi confusion me thi. Ye sab ho kya raha tha? Toh wahi police waale apne trained dogs ko jagah jagah le jaate hue investigation me lag gaye.

Idhar uss ladki ke paas female officers khadi hui thi. Bhale hi woh ladki iss samay sandigdh thi parantu, uske saath koi bhi galat sulook nahi kiya jaa raha tha.

Woh koi aisi wesi ladki nahi thi, ye baat lagbhag harr koi jaanta tha. Police waale toh bakhubi parichit the inn sab se.

Yahi kaaran tha jo woh thoda tareeqe se pesh aa rahe the. Warna agar koi aur hota, toh use toh daboch ke seedha neeche lita gaya hota.

Ladki abhi bhi confused thi. Woh jaanana chaah rahi thi ki akhir chal kya raha tha?

Ladki : Kya mein ye bhi nahi jaan sakti ki achanak ye sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar pe?

Lady officer : Aap shaq ke ghere me hai ma'am. Hume pata chala hai ki aap suspects me se ek hai.

Ladki : Aur kaise pata chala ye?

Lady officer : Hamare kuch sources hai. Aur, naam mat puchiyega. Please!

Woh ladki harr guzarte pal aur bhi confused hui jaa rahi thi. Akhir ho kya raha tha? Uska naam kisne diya? Kaun use fassaana chaah raha tha? Use iss baat ka koi darr nahi tha ki use arrest kiya jaa raha hai, use iss baat ki chinta thi ki akhir kisne uske khilaaf ye sab jankaari di???

Wo aaklan kar rahi thi. Jab akasmaat K-9 dogs ke bhaukne ki awaaz ne use wapas se hosh me laaya.

Andar dogs ko kuch praapt hua tha. Woh turant hi apni jagah se bhaagte hue andar jaane ko hui par peeche se lady officer ne use pakad liya. Officer uske saath saath hi peeche peeche aayi tabhi use andar aane mila.

Jaise hi ladki ne andar dekha toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Dogs kareeban ek 15cm lambi sui ki taraf dekh bhauk rahe the. Police officer ne turant hi apne gloves pehne haatho se uss sui ko uthaaya. Sui ki nok par kuch laga hua tha.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

Woh kuch na boli. Bas mann me hi sochne par majboor ho gayi.

‘Y-Ye-! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?’

[Tumhara dhyaan kaha hai? Kya abhi bhi tum puch rahi ho? Of course!!! Someone intruded.]

‘H-Huh!!?’

[Aur tum kuch pata bhi nahi kar paayi. I'm disappointed.]

‘P-Par-!’

[We are not this weak.]

‘How can it be-!?’

[Socho zara. Kaun ho sakta hai? Have you provoked someone unintentionally? I don't remember anyone.]

‘Mujhe nahi pata.’

[Or…]

‘???’

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

Ladki ki bauhe ek pal ke liye kass gayi. Abhi toh uski samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.

Toh wahi, Officer ne uss sui ko haath me liye fir apni ek kamar par latki thaili se ek sample bag nikala.

Officer : Kya ye wahi hai?

Officer 2 : Shayad haan! Jaanch ke liye bhejna padega.

Officer : Matlab jankaari sahi thi?

Officer 2 (nods) : Hmm!

Aur, idhar ladki ke bagal se khadi lady officer ne kaha,

Lady officer : I'm sorry to say ma'am. But you are now a prime suspect. We are taking you to the police station.

Ladki toh jaise inn sab ko dekh wahi jamm chuki thi. Khaas kar uss 15cm lambi sui ko waha rakhe dekh use sabse bada jhatka laga tha.

Ye mumkin kaise hua bhala? Mann me yahi sawaal chal raha tha.

[Not gonna lie it is interesting though haha.]

Uske mann me Freya ki awaaz goonji. Zaahir hai woh ek system owner thi. Agar woh chaahti toh inn sab se badi hi asaani se bach ke nikal sakti thi.

Inme se koi bhi vyakti use pakad bhi nahi paata. Lekin, fir bhi woh bhaagi nahi. Kyuki, woh khud bhi curious thi. Aur na hi woh kabhi bhaagne waalo me se thi.

Jab usne koi gunaah nahi kiya toh bhaaga kyu jaaye? Magar, saboot uske khilaaf the.

Officer : Yaha kuch likha bhi hua hai. Aur, ab toh ye almost confirm ho gaya hai.

Officer 2 : Kya likha hai?

Officer : Garofano!!!!

Sunte hi ladki ek baar fir jhatka khaate hue uss officer ko dekhi. Sui ke pichhle hisse par badi hi bareeki se ek naam kureda gaya tha aur badi hi sundar likhawat se kureda hua tha.

Itni patli si jagah par bhi uss sui me carving kar ke naam likhna apne aap me ek bahut bada kaam tha. Parantu, bareeki se dekhne par naam asaani se nazar aa jaata tha. Aur, police officer ko bhi zyada samay nahi laga use padhne me.

Ab aage aur kuch dekhne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Jo unhe milna tha, woh unhone baramad kar liya tha.

Lady officer : Now please, come with us.

Woh uss ladki ko peeche se dhakelte hue baahar ki orr le gayi. Ladki besudh si lady officer ke saath chali jaa rahi thi. Abhi bhi usme darr nahi tha. Bas, hairani thi. Ye sab ho kaise gaya?

Ghar ke baahar laate hue ghar ke ird gird bhi ‘no trespassing’ waala tape maar diya gaya tha. Aur, use turant hi police ki gaadi me baitha diya gaya.



Bilkul, woh ladki koi aur ladki nahi, Garofano hi thi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh 15cm lambi sui uski hi thi.

Aur dekhte hi dekhte uska pyaara sa ek ghar ‘no trespassing' area me tabdeel ho gaya. Aas paas ke logo me ye charcha ka vishay bann gaya aur jald hi news me bhi aa gaya aur fir poore China me ye khabar sansani ki tarah fel gayi. Garofano ko seedhe giraft me le liya gaya.

Yahi thi… 2 din pehle ki ghatna.

***

Current day…
Sichuan Province,
On the outskirts of Panzhihua city, Night ~ 2:13 AM

Veeraan se raaste par chalti Hui gaadi kuch derr baad jangal se bhari ek jagah par aa kar ruki. Waqai, jaisa ki driver ne kaha tha bilkul wesa hi hua.

Lambi ride itni lambi hogi, Veer ko iska bilkul andaaza nahi tha. Chengdu city se woh Panzhihua city aa chuka tha.

Panzhihua bhi Sichuan Province ki hi ek city thi jo behad South me padti thi. Idhar se jangal lagna shuru ho jaata tha.



Veer jab car se utra toh usne dekha ki bahut hi bade area me bana ek siheyuan ghar saamne maujood tha.

Wahi ghar jisme beecho beech aangan hota tha. Aur ird gird kayi saare makaan. Wesa hi poora structure uski aankhon ke saamne maujood tha.

Ghar kaafi purana lag raha tha. Saamne bhavya gate ke upar bade aksharo me Chinese me kuch likha hua tha.

Veer ne mann me hi Translator ki madad se use Translate kia toh paaya ki udhar ‘Li Renshu’ hi likha hua tha.

Yaani yahi Ghar tha Li Renshu ka. Ghar ho na ho parantu ye property zaroor uski hi thi.

Veer ne idhar udhar dekh thoda aur jaayza liya. Raat ke gehre andhere me use pedo ke siwae aur toh kuch nazar nahi aaya. Shayad ilaake ki asli parakh ab ujaale me hi ho sakti thi.

Driver bhi car se utra aur usne Veer ko aage badhne ke liye ishaara kiya,

Driver : Aaiye Sir!

Veer ka trolley bag wahi liye hua tha.

[Interesting! Li Renshu koi bigshot lagta hai.]

‘Yeah!’

[Warna aisi jagah pe itni badi zameen hona. Koi bhi sarkaar yuhi allow nahi karegi.]

‘Hmm! I won't be surprised agar woh government ka hi koi official ho toh.’

[Ohh! That's a wild guess.]

‘Hume nahi pata uski asli identity kya hai. But I hope iss tour me mujhe kaafi kuch jaanane ko mil jayega.’

[Of course! I'm looking forward too. I hope iss tour me tum finally… ‘mommy’ keh hi doge. Fufu~]

‘Tum firse mat shuru ho jaana.’

[That's how I am. Deal with it.]

‘Aur mein kuch aur raaz bhi shayad jaan pau.’

[Jaise ki?]

‘Jaise ki system ke raaz. Tumhaare raaz.’

[Ohh!!? *smirks* You wanna know?]

‘Of course!’

[Call me ‘Mommy’ and I'll let you know everything you want to know. Kaisi hai deal? I think it's a fair one.]

‘Huh?’

[You only have to say just one word ~ ‘Mommy’ aur mein tumhe poori information de dungi apni.]

‘Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mein tumhari baat ka yakeen karunga?’

[What?? Tumhe lag raha hai mein mazaak kar rahi hu?]

‘Toh aur kya hai yeh?’

[I'm not joking okay! Trust me! Just call me ‘Mommy’ once and I'll-]

‘No thanks! I'll pass!’

[Y-You-!!!]

‘By the way, Profit Path ka Path 1 ek baar aur dikhaana zara. Dekhu kaha tak achieve kar liya hai mene.’

Pari ne aage kuch na kaha. Veer ke mann me uske saamne Path 1 khol use de diya bas.



Veer ne sabse pehle upar ke naam padhe. Arohi, Ragini, Mukta, Bhumika, Sudha aur Varsha.

Inn naamo ke theek bagal se jude hue the ~ Food, Clothes, Medicines, perfumes.

Path 1 ki wajah se hi Veer ne Mukta ko Hotel Prestige me Head Chef me taur par bheja tha.

Profit Path poora idea de deta tha ki kisko kaha par bhejne se faayda hoga.

Arohi, Ragini isme abhi chhoti chhoti madad karwa rahi thi. Magar, Veer jaanta tha ki woh dono hi iss field ke liye nahi thi.

Food me Sonali, Bhumika aur Mukta sabhi hi apni apni jagaho ko poorn roop se sambhaal rahi thi.

Clothes me use Louis mil chuka tha. Aur, Sudha jo silaayi me sabse avval thi Veer ne use bhi niyukt kar liya tha.

Aushdhiyo aur perfumes ke liye uske paas Varsha thi. Kuch naukar chaakar, paisa, jagah aur thoda samaan dene ki bas deri thi Veer ko. Aur, ye kaam bhi shuru ho jaana tha.

Veer ne fir neeche waale blocks ko dekha. Shyaam, farmers jo Land se jude hue the.



Zaahir hai usne ye bhi kar liya tha. Sabhi kisaan Bhai bade hi acche se apna kaam kar rahe the.

Woh aur neeche ke blocks par aaya. Jisme supply ke sang Saili, Louis aur Kaera ka naam tha.



Louis aur supply ka rishta toh Veer samajh chuka tha. Aur usne woh kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha.

Louis ko materials provide karwana, yaani ki poori supply dena ye Veer jaanta tha. Usne ye execute kar liya tha.

Parantu, abhi bhi jo use thoda sa pareshan kar raha tha woh tha Saili aur Kaera ka naam.

Saili Mukta ki hi beti thi. Mukta rang me behad kaali thi toh uski beti bhi rang roop me kaali hi thi. Magar, kaali hone ke bawajood uske nain naksh alag hi starr ke the. Ek prakaar se Saili ko black beauty kehna sahi tha.

Parantu, isme Kaera ka kya role? Veer ko iske baare me aur sochna tha. Woh punah neeche ke blocks me aaya.



Aabha, Shreya aur YouTube Brand. Usne ye bhi execute kar diya tha.

Lagbhag lagbhag usne poora Path 1 implement kar diya tha. Jald hi woh Path 2 draw kar sakta tha Profit Path se.

Parantu uske liye bhi pehle iss Path 1 ka complete hona zaroori tha.

Veer inn sab cheezo ko mann se alag kar saamne ki orr apna dhyaan wapas se laaya.

Woh dono pichhle 3 minute se bas chalte jaa rahe the. Jagah itni badi thi ki kaafi samay toh andar baahar jaane me hi lag jaaya karta tha.

Andar ka pravesh waale ek ghar ke paas akhir kaar woh dono hi pahuch gaye.

Aadmi : Idhar se aapko hi jaana hoga Sir. Aapka bag aapke kamre me bhijwa diya jayega. Be-fiqr rahiye.

Veer : Well…! Okay!

Shayad inhe bina ijazat ke andar aana allowed nahi tha. Veer kaafi impressed tha, inki loyalty ke liye. Renshu ne apni image ekdum tagdi bana ke rakhi thi.

Woh aage badha. Pehle waale ghar me ghuste hi use ku h modern ghar ke jaisa feel hua. Lights lagi hui thi, decoration ka kaafi samaan tha. Kuch bade se flower vases aur kuch unique si paintings tangi hui thi.

Shayad ye welcoming area tha. Ye sirf saaj sajja ke liye hi tha. Isme koi rehta nahi tha.

Woh abhi waha se badh aage aangan me jaane hi waala tha jab saamne se awaaz aayi,

“Who allowed you to trespass, Mister!??”

Veer : Huhh!!??

Aur Veer ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Sirf awaaz sunn ke nahi thame the. Saamne maujood uss saundarya ko dekh ke bhi qadam rukne par majboor ho gaye the.




Laal rang ki night dress me ek behad hi khubsoorat ladki uske saamne khadi hui thi.

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.




“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’

San

Update - 168 ~ In a custody​

Ab tak...

Tej ne jaise hi khat padha, woh bas zorr se sabhi ko ekatr karne ke liye chillaayi.

“Bh-Bhaaaabhiii!!!!”

Ab aage...

China!

Bhala iss naam se kaun anjaan hoga? Ek aisa desh jo kareeban 1.4 billion se bhi adhik jan-sankhya se bhara hua tha aur poori duniya me population ke naam pe dusre sthaan par aata tha.

Jaise bhaarat me alag alag raajya yaani ki states maujood the, wese hi China me bhi the. Magar, inhe yaha ‘States’ ki jagah ‘Provinces’ kaha jaata tha.

China me kul 22 provinces the jo unke khud ke hisse the. Par, ek tha jo ki claim kiya gaya tha yaani ki hathiyaya gaya tha. Aur, woh tha ~ Taiwan!!! Toh ye kaha jaa sakta tha ki China me kul ab 23 provinces the.




Harr desh me kuch jagaahe aisi hoti thi jo aadhunik yug ko darshaati thi toh wahi kuch aisi hoti thi jo apni pracheen sanranchna ke liye jaani jaati thi. Jaise bhaarat me Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata jaise sheher naye daur aur aadhunikta ko darshaate the, kuch wese hi China me Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing jaise sheher the jo modern aur smart cities ke liye jaane jaate the.

Magar, kuch sheher aise hote the jo aadhunik jeevan se thoda dur rehte the aur uss zameen par pracheenta ko bhaanpa jaa sakta tha.

Iska matlab ye ki China me bhi do pehlu the. Ek jo modernisation ko darshaata tha.

Lambi lambi buildings, vibhinn prakaar ke insaano dwaara banaaye gaye ajeebo gareeb structures, harr taraf lights, tez zindagi, harr kaam ke liye uplabdh machines, atyadhik traffic, clubs, pubs, aur na jaane kya kya. Ye tha woh China jo aam aadmi dekhta tha. Aur, dekhne jaata tha aur jo media dwara dikhaya jaata tha.



Kintu, dusra China tha jo ancient times ko jataata tha.

The Great Wall of China, ghane bade jangal, oonche oonche pahaad, vibhinn nadiyaan. Ye tha ancient China.

Siheyuan!!! Ek aisa structure hota tha ghar ka jisme beecho beech ek chaukor aakaar ka aangan rehta tha aur uske chaaro orr ird-gird me ghar rehte the. Isi structure par puraane China ke ghar bana karte the.




Ek bade parivaar ke liye yeh sarvashreshth maana jaata tha. Yaha tak ki Rajao ke daur me bhi iska istemal hua karta tha. Prakrati ki taazi hawa, jangalo se laga hua ek siheyuan ghar, puraane tareeqe se rehna-odhna aur khaana-peena, kheti kisaani aur wahi ke kuch aapas ke logo me bol chaal aur bhai chaara.

Ye tha Dusra China!!




Jo aam media aur aam logo ki pahuch se thoda dur tha. Kyuki, ye ilaake aksar jangalo se bhare rehte the. Yaha par rehna hi apne aap me ek challenge tha. Comfort dhoondhne waala vyakti inn jagaho ke liye nahi tha.

Parantu, Veer ko isi ilaake me abhi jaana tha. Uski destination thi China ka Sichuan province.

Ghar se woh bina bataaye toh nikal aaya tha. Majbooran use khat likh ke aise hi nikalna pada. Woh jaanta tha ki agar woh aisa nahi karta toh pakke se Tej use akele iss tarah jaane nahi deti.

Par, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki China me yaha khatra hone waala tha. Aise me bhala woh kaise Tej ko ya apne kisi aur ko saath laa sakta tha?

Veer ka Chinese Visa taiyaar tha. Usne itne antraal me banwa liya tha. Woh nahi jaanta tha ki yaha par use kinn musibato ka saamna karna tha. Lekin, itna zaroor jaanta tha ki uske liye kuch bhi ab asaan nahi hone waala tha.

Plane airstrip par utra aur woh luggage leke akhir kaar China ki zameen par apne qadam rakha.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.




Sichuan province ka jaana maana Airport. Ab idhar se Veer ko dusri location par jaana tha.

[We are here!]

Plane se utarte hi Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi.

‘Yeah!’

[Tumhe kya lagta hai? For what purpose Li Renshu invited us?]

‘I don’t know!’

[Well! I just want to see some fun~ Aur chaahungi ki tum *grins* khud ko mere hawaale kar do.]

‘Jo kabhi nahi hone waala. *sighs*’

[Oh dear!! I will- *smirks* I will make you submit to me.]

Uske confidence par Veer bas muskuraaya aur woh aage badh gaya. Uska sabse pehla kaam tha apne phone ke network ko activate karana. Airport par hi use SIM aur network ki facilities mil gayi thi. Veer ne pehle apne phone ki calling ko chaalu karwaya aur fir hi woh yaha se nikalne ke liye hua. Abhi woh chal hi raha tha jab uska jeb me rakha phone turant hi bajne laga.

Wahi rukte hue usne apna phone nikaala. Screen par dekha toh pata chala uski Teju dii ka Whatsapp call aa raha tha. Ye swabhavik tha. Na jaane akhir kab se uske ghar waale use call kar rahe honge, par plane me toh mobile airplane mode pe hi rehta tha. Baat bhala kaise ho sakti thi?

Veer ne turant hi call ko uthaaya,

Veer : Hello?

Aur udhar se Tej ki zorr se awaaz aayi,

Tej : Veeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!??

Veer ne apne kaano se phone ko thoda dur kiya. Shayad uski Teju dii behad pareshan thi. Awaaz se samajh aa raha tha.

Veer : Haan Teju di!?

Tej : Haan Teju dii? Haan teju dii ke bacche!!! T-Tum-!! Tum me aqal hai kuch??? Kaha ho tum? Kya kaam aa gaya achanak se? Aur- Aur ye bina bataaye kyu chale gaye ghar se? Abhi kaha ho? Kiske saath ho?

Tej kabhi bhi uss se iss tarah baat nahi karti thi. Woh uss par garajti nahi thi. Hamesha namr swabhaav aur thoda sharmaate hue hi pesh aati thi. Magar, Veer ki iss harqat se uska dimaag bhi kharab tha. Aur, yahi kaaran tha jo woh itni hyper ho rakhi thi.

Veer : Hey! Hey! Calm down dii! Mein ekdum theek hu!

Tej : Tum abhi kaha ho?

[You cannot tell her!]

Pari ki awaaz firse uske mann me goonji. Iss baar Veer Pari ki baat se sehmat tha. Woh nahi bata sakta tha Tej ko. Tej jab Paris aa sakti thi toh isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh China bhi use dhoondhne ke liye aa sakti thi. Aur, iss baar woh koi risk nahi lena chaahta tha.

Veer : Mein thoda kaam se baahar aaya hu dii!

Tej : Baahar kaha?

Veer : Baahar matlab-!! India ke baahar!

Tej : T-Tum-!!!

Uska gussa fir badh gaya. Laga tha ki Veer India me hi agar hoga toh woh yu jhattse waha pahuch jayegi. Magar, Veer India ke baahar tha. Usne ek gehri saans lete hue khud ko shaant kiya.

Tej : India ke baahar kaha ho? Which country?

Veer : I-!!

Tej : ???

Veer : I’m sorry dii! Abhi mein aapko nahi bata sakta.

Tej : Y-You-!!!! Kyuuu? Kyu nahi bata sakte tum?

Veer : Kyuki, mein jaanta hu ki agar maine aapko bataya toh aap turant hi idhar aa jaogi.

Tej : Toh kya galat hai usme? Tum harr baar mujhse aur hum sab se bhaagte kyu rehte ho?

Veer : Galat kuch nahi hai dii! Aur, mein kisi se nahi bhaag raha hu. In fact, mein toh chaahta hi hu ki aap sab mere saath hi raho.

Tej : T-Toh fir? Fir kya dikkat hai Veer?

Veer : Because-!!! *sighs* Kuch nahi dii! Abhi mein jaha hu waha ke liye Visa lagta hai. Agar mein aapko bulaana bhi chaahu toh aap nahi aa sakti. Toh, ab iss baare me zyada mat sochiye.

Tej : T-Tum firse Paris gaye ho na?

Veer : Nahi! Agar udhar hota toh aap sab aa nahi jaate? *smiles* Ek short visa hi lagta hai udhar toh. Par nahi! Mein udhar nahi hu!

Tej : Toh kaha ho tum? P-Please! Veer! Bata do! Kaha ho tum!? Yaha sab pareshaan hai!

Veer (sighs) : I’m sorry dii! Maine kaha na! Mein abhi nahi bata sakta.

Itne me tabhi Tej ne audio call ko video call me switch kar ke lagaaya. Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, usne Video call bhi receive kar liya.

Aur, uski badi behan ka khubsoorat chehra uske saamne haazir tha. Woh chinta me lag rahi thi.

Veer (smiles) : Ab khush?

Veer nahi jaanta tha ki Tej ne screen recording bhi on kar rakhi thi. Woh jaise tese kar ke koi saboot dhoondhna chaah rahi thi ki jis se pata lag sake akhir uska chhota bhai kaun se airport par hai.

Kintu, Veer uss se aur bhi zyada chalaak tha. Usne screen aisi kar rakhi thi ki siwae uske chehre ke aas paas ka kuch bhi nazar nahi raha tha.

Tej : Tch!! T-Tum-! Tum baithe kyu ho? Mujh par dhyaan mat do. Apna kaam karte raho.

Veer (smiles) : Kyu? Taaki phone ki screen idhar udhar hoye aur aap kuch information dhoondh sako? Isliye?

Tej : *frowns*

Tej ko chori pakdi gayi thi.

Veer : Haha! Jo aap soch rahi ho dii wo mein pehle hi soch liya tha. It's useless.

Tej : Kyu???

Iss baar uski awaaz kamzor thi.

Veer : !!??

Tej : Kyu Veer? Mujhe yakeen tha ki hamara rishta mazboot ho chuka hai. Aur, tum mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhipaoge. Fir bhi tumne-

Veer : Iss baar ye zaroori hai dii. Mere liye nahi! Balki, aap sab ke liye.

Tej : ??

Veer : Mein aapse jhoot nahi bol paata. Jab se hamara rishta mazboot hua hai tab se hi ye ho raha hai. Mein keval aap se jhoot nahi bol paata hu. Aur, isliye mein aapse iss baare me baat nahi karna chaahta ki mein kaha par hu.

Tej ko ye sunn andar hi andar pata nahi kyu par khushi hui. Uska Bhai keval uss se jhooth nahi bol paata tha? Woh khush iss baat se nahi thi ki Veer jhooth nahi bol paa raha uss se.

Woh khush thi ‘keval’ shabd se. Yaani Veer baakiyo se jhooth bolne me saksham tha. Bas keval woh hi ek thi jiske liye uska bhai jhooth nahi bol paata tha.

Ye ‘keval’ shabd tha jo Tej ke dil me tarange utpann kar raha tha.

Veer : Aur mein chaahta hu ki-

Woh abhi uss se kuch kehne hi wala tha ki itne me uske phone me ‘beep beep’ ki awaaz aane lagi. Koi dusra call aa raha tha.

Veer : Ek call aa raha hai dii! Mein aapse baad me baat karta hu.

Tej : What??? Wait!!! Veeerrr!!

Par tab tak call cut chuka tha. Idhar Veer ne jaise hi unknown number se call uthaaya, uss orr se ek aadmi ki awaaz aayi.

“Mister Veer?”

Veer : Yes! It's me!

Aadmi : Where are you right now?

Veer : At the airport.

Woh aadmi angrezi me hi baat kar raha tha.

Aadmi : Okay! I would like you to please cover your face first. I'm your escort sent by Lord Renshu himself.

Veer : Ohh!?

Aadmi : Yes! Please come out and then head towards the East. You will spot a black colored car. That's our car. Ignore all the other people. There's no need to chat with anyone.

Veer (nods) : Got it!

Aadmi : I'm waiting, Sir!

Veer ne call rakha aur usne apna ek mask chehre par daal liya. Shayad maamla gambheer tha. Renshu ne hi driver ko ye sab keh ke bheja hoga.

Chehra chhipana hai iska matlab toh yahi ho sakta tha ki uski identity reveal hone ke chances the. Yaani ki yaha airport par koi aur bhi tha?

Veer ne chaaro orr nazre maari aur Beowulf's Blessings bhi ON kar li. Woh bina kisi se baat kiye seedhe airport ke baahar nikla aur daayi orr mud gaya.

Airport par toh use kuch bhi aisa wesa nazar nahi aaya. Beowulf's Blessings ko usne band kar liya.

Woh East direction me badhne laga aur waqai, kuch hi duri par use ek kaale rang ki gaadi khadi nazar aa gayi. Veer jaise hi waha pahucha, driver turant hi apni seat se baahar nikla. Shayad usne mirror me Veer ko aate dekh liya tha.

Usne sabse pehle haath aage kar Veer se kuch maanga.

Aadmi : Sir! The card please!

Veer : Ohhh! Here!

Woh aadmi wahi card Veer se maang raha tha jo Renshu ne use diya tha ek lifaafe me band kar ke. Veer ke paas abhi bhi woh sahi salamat rakha hua tha. Usne apni bag ki baahar ki ek chain khol woh card nikala aur uss aadmi ko de diya.



Aadmi ne card ko khol acche se dekha. Aur, woh pehchaan gaya ki yeh wahi card tha.

Aadmi : Please Sir!

Usne Veer ke liye darwaza khola aur andar baithne ka ishaara kiya. Veer car me baitha aur wo kuch hi palo me airport chorr apni next destination ke liye chal diya.

Aadmi : Ride kaafi lambi hogi Sir. Toh agar aapko kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat abhi ho, ya kahi rukna ho toh be-jhijak bata dijiyega.

Veer : Ohh? Sure!

Shaam ke abhi 7 baj rahe the aur andhera toh pehle hi ho chuka tha. Agar ride waqai lambi hone waali thi toh shayad use dinner bhi aaj baahar restaurant me hi karna tha.

Raaste me chalte chalte use baahar ka nazaara andar car se saaf saaf nazar aa raha tha. Kintu, Veer ke kaan tab khade hue jab car me radio par chal rahi beech me ek news aayi.

“Mr. Nicholson ki mrityu hatyaa hai ya bas ek natural death? Khulasa hona jaari hai. Aur, unke dehaant ke baad unki sampatti ka maalik akhir kaun?”

‘Hmm?’

Veer ki bauhe upar chadh gayi.

‘Mr. Nicholson!?’

Naam usne pehle toh kabhi nahi suna tha. Isliye, usne bas dimaag me iss naam ko baithaya aur zyada soch vichaar nahi kiya.

Woh toh China aa chuka tha. Par kya sab kuch itna hi shaant tha jitna prateet ho raha tha? Jawaab tha~ Nahi! Veer ke aane se pehle hi halaat behad hi kharaab ho rakhe the.

2 din pehle, kuch aisi vardaatein hui jis se poore China me ek sansani mach gayi. Aur, woh thi-

Mr. Nicholson ki hatya!!!

2 days ago…
Heibei Province, Beijing
Night ~ 12:27 PM

*Click* *Click* *Click*

Ek atyant hi khubsoorat ladki apne work area me baith ke kaam kar rahi thi. Raat kaafi ho chuki thi aur bas table lamp aur kuch halki roshni me woh apne kaam me lagi hui thi.




‘This design might be good…!’

Woh apne aap se hi mann me baat kar rahi thi jab uske mann ki awaaz ko sunn ke, ek aur awaaz ne mann me hi uttar diya,

[Your designs are always good. But still… that’s not your forte.]

‘Uhh-huh!! Mein jaanti hu. Lekin, ye zaroori hai. A cover-up is still better than showing nothing, right?’

[Maybe?]

‘Kahi na kahi, ye design- It’s familiar!’

[Jo suit baahar mannequin par hai, ye uski design ki tarah hai.]

‘Right!’

Woh kuch sketches bana rahi thi. Ye sketches kapdo ke hi the. Kuch coats aur blazers ke sketches. Jinhe woh baad me inke hisaab se stitch karwaane waali thi.

Kaam lagbhag khatam ho chuka tha. Par raat ke 12:30 ab baj chuke the. Bacha hua kaam woh kal bhi kar sakti thi. Yahi soch usne apni fashion sketchbook band ki aur woh wahi haatho me haath table par rakh sarr neeche kar apne vichaaro me chali gayi.



‘Kal jo kuch bhi hua-’

[Well! Yahi toh hona tha. You don’t want the heritage?]

‘I actually don’t!’

[That was surprising. Everything okay?]

‘Yes!’

[Toh fir?]

‘Kuch nahi Freya!’

Woh abhi aur kuch baatein karti jab baahar se kuch aahat paate hi uske kaan chaukanne ho gaye.

Uske ghar ke theek baahar police ka jhund maujood tha. Do police waale darwaaze ke theek saamne khade the aur kaan laga ke andar ka jayza le rahe the.

Iske baad unme se ek ne ishaara kiya aur baaki sabhi ne haami bhari. Aur, fir usne darwaze ko zorr se apni raid skills ka istemaal kar dhadalle se khol diya.

*BAAAAMMMMM*

Awaaz aate hi andar baithi woh ladki apni jagah se uth khadi hui.

“Police are here!!!!”

“You are under arrest!!!”

“Andar jo koi bhi hai seedhe seedhe chup chaap baahar aa jaaye.”

Ekdum se saare police waale uss ghar me ghus gaye. Unme se kuch mahilaaye bhi thi police ki uniforms me. Kareeban 10 se 12 log ikhatte dhaawa bol diye the.

Andar ki orr aate hi unki nazre uss ladki par padi jo apni jagah par khadi aashcharya me unhe dekh rahi thi.

Officer : Ma'am! You are under arrest.

Ladki : Wh-Whaaaatt!!?

Lady officer : Aapke khilaaf kuch jankaari mili hai. Hume talaashi leni hogi. Tab tak aap under arrest hai. Please! Co-operate!

Ladki : M-Mere khilaaf? Kaisi jankaari?

Lady officer : I'm sorry! Hum apne sources ki jankaari nahi de sakte. Please co-operate.

Ladki : Arre par k-kal hi toh- kal hi toh aap sab-

Uski bauhe chinta me kass gayi. Kal yahi log use saantvna de rahe the aur aaj-

Aaj ye sab ke sab uske ghar me iss tareeqe se ghus ke use hi arrest kar rahe the!?

Ladki : Aap me se koi mujhe batayega ki kya ho raha hai?

Par, uska virodh kisi kaam ka nahi tha. Police toh jaise pehle se hi mann bana ke aayi thi ki kya karna hai aur kya nahi.

Jab unhe pata lag gaya ki uss ladki ke alaawa ghar me aur koi nahi tha toh baahar khade 2 aur police waale andar aa gaye. Parantu, woh akele nahi the.

Unke saath the chhaan been karne waale K–9 Dogs. Yaani ki woh kutte jo tehqiqaat me police ki madad karwaate the aur unke dwara hi trained kiye jaate the.

Woh ladki behad hi confusion me thi. Ye sab ho kya raha tha? Toh wahi police waale apne trained dogs ko jagah jagah le jaate hue investigation me lag gaye.

Idhar uss ladki ke paas female officers khadi hui thi. Bhale hi woh ladki iss samay sandigdh thi parantu, uske saath koi bhi galat sulook nahi kiya jaa raha tha.

Woh koi aisi wesi ladki nahi thi, ye baat lagbhag harr koi jaanta tha. Police waale toh bakhubi parichit the inn sab se.

Yahi kaaran tha jo woh thoda tareeqe se pesh aa rahe the. Warna agar koi aur hota, toh use toh daboch ke seedha neeche lita gaya hota.

Ladki abhi bhi confused thi. Woh jaanana chaah rahi thi ki akhir chal kya raha tha?

Ladki : Kya mein ye bhi nahi jaan sakti ki achanak ye sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar pe?

Lady officer : Aap shaq ke ghere me hai ma'am. Hume pata chala hai ki aap suspects me se ek hai.

Ladki : Aur kaise pata chala ye?

Lady officer : Hamare kuch sources hai. Aur, naam mat puchiyega. Please!

Woh ladki harr guzarte pal aur bhi confused hui jaa rahi thi. Akhir ho kya raha tha? Uska naam kisne diya? Kaun use fassaana chaah raha tha? Use iss baat ka koi darr nahi tha ki use arrest kiya jaa raha hai, use iss baat ki chinta thi ki akhir kisne uske khilaaf ye sab jankaari di???

Wo aaklan kar rahi thi. Jab akasmaat K-9 dogs ke bhaukne ki awaaz ne use wapas se hosh me laaya.

Andar dogs ko kuch praapt hua tha. Woh turant hi apni jagah se bhaagte hue andar jaane ko hui par peeche se lady officer ne use pakad liya. Officer uske saath saath hi peeche peeche aayi tabhi use andar aane mila.

Jaise hi ladki ne andar dekha toh uski aankhein hairat me fel gayi.

Dogs kareeban ek 15cm lambi sui ki taraf dekh bhauk rahe the. Police officer ne turant hi apne gloves pehne haatho se uss sui ko uthaaya. Sui ki nok par kuch laga hua tha.

Ladki ekdum bhauchakki reh gayi thi. Woh sui toh- Uss sui ko woh bhali bhaati jaanti thi.

[Looks like your cover-up is blown now!]

Woh kuch na boli. Bas mann me hi sochne par majboor ho gayi.

‘Y-Ye-! Ye kaise ho sakta hai?’

[Tumhara dhyaan kaha hai? Kya abhi bhi tum puch rahi ho? Of course!!! Someone intruded.]

‘H-Huh!!?’

[Aur tum kuch pata bhi nahi kar paayi. I'm disappointed.]

‘P-Par-!’

[We are not this weak.]

‘How can it be-!?’

[Socho zara. Kaun ho sakta hai? Have you provoked someone unintentionally? I don't remember anyone.]

‘Mujhe nahi pata.’

[Or…]

‘???’

[There is someone…! Maybe!?]

‘Kiski taraf ishaara hai tumhara?’

[Mujhse behtar tum jaanti ho. Right?]

Ladki ki bauhe ek pal ke liye kass gayi. Abhi toh uski samajh me kuch nahi aa raha tha.

Toh wahi, Officer ne uss sui ko haath me liye fir apni ek kamar par latki thaili se ek sample bag nikala.

Officer : Kya ye wahi hai?

Officer 2 : Shayad haan! Jaanch ke liye bhejna padega.

Officer : Matlab jankaari sahi thi?

Officer 2 (nods) : Hmm!

Aur, idhar ladki ke bagal se khadi lady officer ne kaha,

Lady officer : I'm sorry to say ma'am. But you are now a prime suspect. We are taking you to the police station.

Ladki toh jaise inn sab ko dekh wahi jamm chuki thi. Khaas kar uss 15cm lambi sui ko waha rakhe dekh use sabse bada jhatka laga tha.

Ye mumkin kaise hua bhala? Mann me yahi sawaal chal raha tha.

[Not gonna lie it is interesting though haha.]

Uske mann me Freya ki awaaz goonji. Zaahir hai woh ek system owner thi. Agar woh chaahti toh inn sab se badi hi asaani se bach ke nikal sakti thi.

Inme se koi bhi vyakti use pakad bhi nahi paata. Lekin, fir bhi woh bhaagi nahi. Kyuki, woh khud bhi curious thi. Aur na hi woh kabhi bhaagne waalo me se thi.

Jab usne koi gunaah nahi kiya toh bhaaga kyu jaaye? Magar, saboot uske khilaaf the.

Officer : Yaha kuch likha bhi hua hai. Aur, ab toh ye almost confirm ho gaya hai.

Officer 2 : Kya likha hai?

Officer : Garofano!!!!

Sunte hi ladki ek baar fir jhatka khaate hue uss officer ko dekhi. Sui ke pichhle hisse par badi hi bareeki se ek naam kureda gaya tha aur badi hi sundar likhawat se kureda hua tha.

Itni patli si jagah par bhi uss sui me carving kar ke naam likhna apne aap me ek bahut bada kaam tha. Parantu, bareeki se dekhne par naam asaani se nazar aa jaata tha. Aur, police officer ko bhi zyada samay nahi laga use padhne me.

Ab aage aur kuch dekhne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Jo unhe milna tha, woh unhone baramad kar liya tha.

Lady officer : Now please, come with us.

Woh uss ladki ko peeche se dhakelte hue baahar ki orr le gayi. Ladki besudh si lady officer ke saath chali jaa rahi thi. Abhi bhi usme darr nahi tha. Bas, hairani thi. Ye sab ho kaise gaya?

Ghar ke baahar laate hue ghar ke ird gird bhi ‘no trespassing’ waala tape maar diya gaya tha. Aur, use turant hi police ki gaadi me baitha diya gaya.



Bilkul, woh ladki koi aur ladki nahi, Garofano hi thi. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki woh 15cm lambi sui uski hi thi.

Aur dekhte hi dekhte uska pyaara sa ek ghar ‘no trespassing' area me tabdeel ho gaya. Aas paas ke logo me ye charcha ka vishay bann gaya aur jald hi news me bhi aa gaya aur fir poore China me ye khabar sansani ki tarah fel gayi. Garofano ko seedhe giraft me le liya gaya.

Yahi thi… 2 din pehle ki ghatna.

***

Current day…
Sichuan Province,
On the outskirts of Panzhihua city, Night ~ 2:13 AM

Veeraan se raaste par chalti Hui gaadi kuch derr baad jangal se bhari ek jagah par aa kar ruki. Waqai, jaisa ki driver ne kaha tha bilkul wesa hi hua.

Lambi ride itni lambi hogi, Veer ko iska bilkul andaaza nahi tha. Chengdu city se woh Panzhihua city aa chuka tha.

Panzhihua bhi Sichuan Province ki hi ek city thi jo behad South me padti thi. Idhar se jangal lagna shuru ho jaata tha.



Veer jab car se utra toh usne dekha ki bahut hi bade area me bana ek siheyuan ghar saamne maujood tha.

Wahi ghar jisme beecho beech aangan hota tha. Aur ird gird kayi saare makaan. Wesa hi poora structure uski aankhon ke saamne maujood tha.

Ghar kaafi purana lag raha tha. Saamne bhavya gate ke upar bade aksharo me Chinese me kuch likha hua tha.

Veer ne mann me hi Translator ki madad se use Translate kia toh paaya ki udhar ‘Li Renshu’ hi likha hua tha.

Yaani yahi Ghar tha Li Renshu ka. Ghar ho na ho parantu ye property zaroor uski hi thi.

Veer ne idhar udhar dekh thoda aur jaayza liya. Raat ke gehre andhere me use pedo ke siwae aur toh kuch nazar nahi aaya. Shayad ilaake ki asli parakh ab ujaale me hi ho sakti thi.

Driver bhi car se utra aur usne Veer ko aage badhne ke liye ishaara kiya,

Driver : Aaiye Sir!

Veer ka trolley bag wahi liye hua tha.

[Interesting! Li Renshu koi bigshot lagta hai.]

‘Yeah!’

[Warna aisi jagah pe itni badi zameen hona. Koi bhi sarkaar yuhi allow nahi karegi.]

‘Hmm! I won't be surprised agar woh government ka hi koi official ho toh.’

[Ohh! That's a wild guess.]

‘Hume nahi pata uski asli identity kya hai. But I hope iss tour me mujhe kaafi kuch jaanane ko mil jayega.’

[Of course! I'm looking forward too. I hope iss tour me tum finally… ‘mommy’ keh hi doge. Fufu~]

‘Tum firse mat shuru ho jaana.’

[That's how I am. Deal with it.]

‘Aur mein kuch aur raaz bhi shayad jaan pau.’

[Jaise ki?]

‘Jaise ki system ke raaz. Tumhaare raaz.’

[Ohh!!? *smirks* You wanna know?]

‘Of course!’

[Call me ‘Mommy’ and I'll let you know everything you want to know. Kaisi hai deal? I think it's a fair one.]

‘Huh?’

[You only have to say just one word ~ ‘Mommy’ aur mein tumhe poori information de dungi apni.]

‘Aur tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mein tumhari baat ka yakeen karunga?’

[What?? Tumhe lag raha hai mein mazaak kar rahi hu?]

‘Toh aur kya hai yeh?’

[I'm not joking okay! Trust me! Just call me ‘Mommy’ once and I'll-]

‘No thanks! I'll pass!’

[Y-You-!!!]

‘By the way, Profit Path ka Path 1 ek baar aur dikhaana zara. Dekhu kaha tak achieve kar liya hai mene.’

Pari ne aage kuch na kaha. Veer ke mann me uske saamne Path 1 khol use de diya bas.



Veer ne sabse pehle upar ke naam padhe. Arohi, Ragini, Mukta, Bhumika, Sudha aur Varsha.

Inn naamo ke theek bagal se jude hue the ~ Food, Clothes, Medicines, perfumes.

Path 1 ki wajah se hi Veer ne Mukta ko Hotel Prestige me Head Chef me taur par bheja tha.

Profit Path poora idea de deta tha ki kisko kaha par bhejne se faayda hoga.

Arohi, Ragini isme abhi chhoti chhoti madad karwa rahi thi. Magar, Veer jaanta tha ki woh dono hi iss field ke liye nahi thi.

Food me Sonali, Bhumika aur Mukta sabhi hi apni apni jagaho ko poorn roop se sambhaal rahi thi.

Clothes me use Louis mil chuka tha. Aur, Sudha jo silaayi me sabse avval thi Veer ne use bhi niyukt kar liya tha.

Aushdhiyo aur perfumes ke liye uske paas Varsha thi. Kuch naukar chaakar, paisa, jagah aur thoda samaan dene ki bas deri thi Veer ko. Aur, ye kaam bhi shuru ho jaana tha.

Veer ne fir neeche waale blocks ko dekha. Shyaam, farmers jo Land se jude hue the.



Zaahir hai usne ye bhi kar liya tha. Sabhi kisaan Bhai bade hi acche se apna kaam kar rahe the.

Woh aur neeche ke blocks par aaya. Jisme supply ke sang Saili, Louis aur Kaera ka naam tha.



Louis aur supply ka rishta toh Veer samajh chuka tha. Aur usne woh kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha.

Louis ko materials provide karwana, yaani ki poori supply dena ye Veer jaanta tha. Usne ye execute kar liya tha.

Parantu, abhi bhi jo use thoda sa pareshan kar raha tha woh tha Saili aur Kaera ka naam.

Saili Mukta ki hi beti thi. Mukta rang me behad kaali thi toh uski beti bhi rang roop me kaali hi thi. Magar, kaali hone ke bawajood uske nain naksh alag hi starr ke the. Ek prakaar se Saili ko black beauty kehna sahi tha.

Parantu, isme Kaera ka kya role? Veer ko iske baare me aur sochna tha. Woh punah neeche ke blocks me aaya.



Aabha, Shreya aur YouTube Brand. Usne ye bhi execute kar diya tha.

Lagbhag lagbhag usne poora Path 1 implement kar diya tha. Jald hi woh Path 2 draw kar sakta tha Profit Path se.

Parantu uske liye bhi pehle iss Path 1 ka complete hona zaroori tha.

Veer inn sab cheezo ko mann se alag kar saamne ki orr apna dhyaan wapas se laaya.

Woh dono pichhle 3 minute se bas chalte jaa rahe the. Jagah itni badi thi ki kaafi samay toh andar baahar jaane me hi lag jaaya karta tha.

Andar ka pravesh waale ek ghar ke paas akhir kaar woh dono hi pahuch gaye.

Aadmi : Idhar se aapko hi jaana hoga Sir. Aapka bag aapke kamre me bhijwa diya jayega. Be-fiqr rahiye.

Veer : Well…! Okay!

Shayad inhe bina ijazat ke andar aana allowed nahi tha. Veer kaafi impressed tha, inki loyalty ke liye. Renshu ne apni image ekdum tagdi bana ke rakhi thi.

Woh aage badha. Pehle waale ghar me ghuste hi use ku h modern ghar ke jaisa feel hua. Lights lagi hui thi, decoration ka kaafi samaan tha. Kuch bade se flower vases aur kuch unique si paintings tangi hui thi.

Shayad ye welcoming area tha. Ye sirf saaj sajja ke liye hi tha. Isme koi rehta nahi tha.

Woh abhi waha se badh aage aangan me jaane hi waala tha jab saamne se awaaz aayi,

“Who allowed you to trespass, Mister!??”

Veer : Huhh!!??

Aur Veer ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Sirf awaaz sunn ke nahi thame the. Saamne maujood uss saundarya ko dekh ke bhi qadam rukne par majboor ho gaye the.




Laal rang ki night dress me ek behad hi khubsoorat ladki uske saamne khadi hui thi.

Woh adab ke saath mudte hue uski orr apna chehra kari. Uski nigaahein Veer ke chehre par hi tiki hui thi.




“I asked you something. Didn't I?”

Veer ne kuch na kaha. Usne bas ek hi kaam kiya, aur use jhatke lagne shuru ho chuke the.

‘Check’
