Update - 171 ~ Who's lying? (1)​

Ab tak...

Ek chammach udte hue uss sui ki doguni raftaar se aage aayi aur seedhe sui se takra gayi. Sui aur chammach aapas ki matbhed me ghoomte hue idhar udhar jaa gire.

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Iss se pehle ki Garofano aur Renshu punah ek dusre ke upar focused ho paate-

*Whooooosssshhhh*

Ek haath ne unn dono ke haath ko baari baari mazboot jakad me thaam liya. Aur, koi unn dono ke beech aa gaya.

“Tum me se ab kisi aur ne fir haath uthaaya…! Toh accha nahi hoga.”

Ab aage...

Khamoshi!

Kamre ke andar 4 system holders maujood the magar uske bawajood waha sannaata fela hua tha. Erica ekdum stabdh, ankhein chaudi aur muh khole wahi murti ki tarah jami hui khadi thi.

Sab kuch palak jhapakte hue tha. Garofano ka iss tarah hamla karna ek hairaani waali baat toh thi hi par uss se bhi zyada hairaangi use Veer ko unn dono ke beech khade unn dono ko thaame hue dekh ke hui thi.

Idhar Garofano Veer ko pehli nazar me dekh ke chaunki thi. Akhir Veer yaha kya kar raha tha? Magar, use turant hi agle pal ye dhyaan aa gaya ki Casa Belle me usne uss raat Veer ke sang baat ki thi. Zaahir hai Veer yaha uss card ki wajah se aaya tha.

Card toh use bhi praapt hua tha. Par, aaj wo yaha madad karne ke liye nahi aayi thi. Uske iraade toh kuch aur hi the.

Uski aankhon par hare rang ki parat chadhi hui thi. Aur, andhere me wo aankhein aisi prateet ho rahi thi jaise maano ek saanp jhaadiyo me chhipe apne shikaar ko ghoor raha ho.

Woh Veer ko dekhi aur utne hi gusse me boli,

Garofano : Veeeeer!!! Beech me se hatt jao. Ye mere aur Renshu ke beech ka maamla hai. Tumhara isme koi role nahi hai. Get lost!!!

Veer : Role ho chaahe na ho. Now that I'm here...! I won't let you guys fight each other.

Garofano (frowns) : Tch!!! Veeeerr!!!

Iss baar Veer ki aankhein gusse me Garofano ke upar padi.

Veer : STAY PUT!!!

Aur jaise Intimidating Presence ne apna kaam kar diya. Veer ki aankhon ko dekh ek sihran Garofano ki poore badan me fel gayi. Aisa ehsaas hua ki agar usne Veer ki baat nahi maani toh zaroor kuch galat ghatit ho jayega.

Uski pakad apne aap dheeli ho gayi. Woh neeche ki orr dekhi. Apne iraado ko wo badal chuki thi. Haar maante hue usne khud ko dheela chorr diya. Aur, idhar Veer ne use aisa karte dekh uski kalaayi bhi chorr di.

Magar, uss par se dhyaan nahi hataaya. Woh dekh raha tha ki kahi Garofano fir se hamla toh nahi karegi. Par, Garofano ki aankhon se hare rang ki parat bhi ab chhat chuki thi.

Garofano : H-He-!! He was the one-!!!

Veer ne idhar Renshu ki kalaayi bhi chorr di. Woh Garofano ki orr muda. Haath choothate hi Renshu ne apne sarr ke temple par se paseene ki boond ko alag kiya. Use kuch anubhooti hui. Ye ladka...! Veer...!

Apni kalaayi ko usne dekha. 4 ungliyo ke nishaan uski kalaayi par chhaap chorr gaye the. Nishaan aisa ki uske utne hisse ki twacha andar dabb chuki thi.

Apni daadhi ko malte hue woh Veer ko gaur se dekhne laga. Toh wahi idhar Garofano ka virodh ekdum hi khatam ho chuka tha.

Garofano : S-Sirf tumhare liye Veer-!! M-Mein khud ko shaant kar rahi hu. Warna mein-

Erica : Warna mein? Warna mein kya? Ye tumhara playground nahi hai madam ki jab chaaha tab chali aayi aur-

Garofano ki nigaahein agle hi shan Erica par padi. Aankhein punaah chatak hari ho chuki thi. Aur, bolte bolte Erica beech me hi rukk gayi. Maathe par ghabrahat ki lakeere chhaa gayi. Gale me atka thook nigalte hue woh aage kuch na bol saki. Aur, Garofano dobara se wapas normal ho gayi.

Woh ahista ahista chalte hue deewaar ke paas gayi. Aur, jin sui ko usne feka tha unhe deewar me se baari baari nikaalne lagi. Saari sui deewar me dhass chuki thi.

Veer : Koi kuch batayega ki ye sab chal kya raha hai? Garofano? Renshu?

Veer ke prashn par Garofano turant palti. Uski aankhon me firse krodh tha.

Garofano : Tum apne iss pyaare dost se kyu nahi puchte Veer?

Uska ishara Renshu ki orr tha.

Garofano : Pucho iss se ki isne kya kiya hai. T-Tumhe pata hai mein abhi kaha se aa rahi hu?

Veer : Huh?

Garofano : Jail se!!!

Veer : What???

Garofano : That's right! Jail se bhaag ke aa rahi hu.

Veer : Tum jail me kya kar rahi thi?

Garofano : Pucho iss se. Ye batayega tumhe!

Veer ne jaise hi Renshu ki orr dekha toh Renshu sakhti me unn sab ko hi ghoor raha tha.

Renshu : Iski bakwas baato me aane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Ye Jail gayi thi kyuki isne murder kiya hai. Aur, lagta hai hume ise pakad ke wapas police ko saupna padega.

Woh aage do qadam jaise hi badhaaya, Garofano ke haatho me punah ek lambi sui aa gayi. Hamle ke liye taiyaar,

Garofano (glares) : Then try me you fucker...!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Veer (shouts) : SHUT UP!!!!

*Silence*

Ek baar fir khamoshi chha gayi. Veer ne ek gehri lambi saans li.

Veer : Koi bhi nahi ladega. Renshu!!! I want to hear your side first.

Renshu : Isme bataane waala kuch nahi Veer. Sach tumhare saamne hai. Mr. Nicholson ki abhi haal hi me hatya hui hai.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson!? Jab mein yaha aa raha tha tab maine radio me iss news ke baare me suna tha.

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Toh mujhe aur vistaar se samjhaane do Veer. Mr. Nicholson darasal Korea ke ek bahut bade business man the. Unka aana jaana China me laga rehta tha kyuki unka jitna business waha hai, utna hi yaha bhi.

Veer : I see!

Renshu : Lekin 3 din pehle hi unki laash paayi gayi thi. Aur isme koi shaq nahi ki unhe kisne maara hai. Autopsy ki report par pata chala ki maut ko sunishchit karne ke liye ek poison inject kiya gaya tha. Aur, aisa poison kisi ne kabhi nahi dekha hai. Ye naye kism ka poison tha.

Veer : Naye kism ka!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aisa poison jo ek system owner hi bana sakta hai.

Kehte hue Renshu ki nazre Garofano par gayi. Aur, Garofano use iss tarah apni orr ghoorte paa kar dekh gusse me gurraayi.

Garofano (glares) : Tsk!!

Renshu : Aur, ab asli sach suno Veer. Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita the. Isne apne hi pita ko maara hai.

Garofano (screams) : Ye jhooth hai-!!!

Renshu (shouts) : Yahi sach hai!!!

Veer : !!??

Renshu : Veer!! Ye ladki kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakti hai. Tum wo sui dekh rahe ho? Uske haatho me?? Zara dhyaan se dekho unhe. Unki nok ko...!

Renshu ki baat par Veer ne apni nazre daudayi aur Garofano ke haatho me maujood unn sui ki nok ko usne dekha.

*Tip*

'Huh!!??'

Aur use abhaas hua. Sui par se geele padaarth ki ek boond fisalte hue neeche zameen par giri.

Poison!!!

Renshu : Dekha na Veer? Yahi wo poison hai. Iss zeher ki vidhi sirf iss ladki ke paas hai. Yahi zeher Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!?

Renshu : Mujhe aur samjhaane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai. Jo zeher sirf ye ladki bana sakti hai, wahi zeher agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya hai toh iska kya matlab hua? Kya tumhe ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha? Ya fir ye kahe ki ek system owner ko kisi ne murkh bana diya?

Garofano (growls) : You liar-!!!!

Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Renshu saaf saaf uske saamne sab kuch rakh raha tha. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki autopsy ki report jo Renshu ne batayi thi, agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me Garofano ka poison paaya gaya tha aur saath hi wahi poison wo apni sui par laga ke chalti thi. Toh 90% chances the ki hatya Garofano ne hi ki thi. Lekin, batayi gayi report jhoothi bhi toh ho sakti thi. Renshu jhooth bhi toh bol sakta tha.

Veer aankhein moond ke kisi bhi faisle par nahi utarna chaahta tha. Ek pal ke liye uske badan me ek sihran daud gayi. Garofano ke baare me use nayi jankari praapt hui thi.

Woh ek naye kism ka zeher bhi bana sakti thi? Sui par uss zeher ko lagana aur unse vaar karna. Ye ek alag kism ka ladne ka tareeka tha. Jitna ye alag tha utna hi jaanleva bhi. Use yaad aaya ki kuch derr pehle wahi hamla uske upar hua tha. Kismat acchi thi jo woh sui uske shareer me nahi jaa paayi. Warna-

[She's interesting.]

Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi. Woh bhi Garofano ko parakh rahi thi.

Veer : Tumhe ye sab kaise pata chala Renshu? Autopsy ki report bhala tumhare haath kaise lagi? Aur, tum ye kaise keh sakte ho ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai? Kya tum koi reason de sakte ho ki Garofano ne apne hi pita ko kyu maara?

Veer ne aise sawaal rakhe jinse kaafi kuch haath lag sakta tha. Ab dekhna ye tha ki Renshu kya jankari deta hai.

Renshu (sighs) : Veer! Autopsy ki report ke baare me jaanana koi badi baat nahi hai. Tum bhi ek system owner ho. Maine Erica ko bheja tha report haasil karne ke liye. Ye pata lagaane ke liye ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me wo zeher kis prakaar ka tha.

Veer : Aur Erica ko tumne kyu bheja?

Renshu : Kyuki, mein pehle se jaanta tha Veer ki Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita hai. Ab agar ekdum se unki hatya ho jaaye aur wo bhi aise zeher se jiske baare me aadmi jaanta na ho toh kya tumhare andar shaq nahi paida hoga? Mere andar bhi hua tha. Isliye maine Erica ko bheja tha.

Veer : Hmm! Aur tumhara ye kehna ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai?

Renshu : Bilkul! Iske alawa aur kaun ho sakta hai? Mera Mr. Nicholson se koi lena dena nahi hai. Na hi Erica ka. Na hi tumhara. Aur na hi Tribal Leader Jaw Long ka. Toh kaun bachta hai system owner me? Ye ladki!!!

Veer : Kya reason de sakte ho tum mujhe? Kyu maara Garofano ne?

Renshu : Sampatti Veer!!! Athaay sampatti!! Itni sampatti ki tum note ki gaddiyo ka ek mahal banwa lo. Balki, aur zyaada. Laalach acche accho ko galat kaam karne ke liye majboor kar deta hai.

Veer : Really? Paisa?

Renshu : Will Veer! Harr Ameer insaan apni ek will bana ke jaata hai. Mr. Nicholson ki maut ke baad ye sab kuch charcha me hai ki unki ek will bhi thi.

Veer : Kaisi will?

Renshu : Yahi ki unki saari sampatti, unki beti ko jaati hai. Par, will bhala kis kaam ki? Agar, insaan zinda bana rahe toh? Isliye, isne apne hi pita ka qatl kar diya.

Veer : Really? Just for some money? I don't think-

Renshu : Ek toh yeh kaaran ho sakta hai. Dusra kuch aur bhi ho sakta hai Veer. Jise hum dono hi nahi jaante. Lekin, mein daave ke saath keh sakta hu ki hatya isi ladki ne ki hai.

Garofano (screams) : Jhoooootthhh!!!

Veer : Hmm??

Garofano : V-Veer-! Dekho ise! Dekho kaise baato ko manipulate kar raha hai. Asli baatein toh isne tumhe bataayi hi nahi. Isne apni kartoote toh tumhe bataayi hi nahi Veer.

Veer : Huh???

Garofano (shouts) : Agar mujhe pata hota ki tum itne bade waale dagabaaz aadmi nikloge ki meri hi peeth par chhura ghopoge toh maine tumhe woh sui kabhi di hi nahi hoti-!!!

Veer : Sui??

Garofano : Haan! Veer, yaad hai jab hum pehli baar mile the?

Veer : Casa Belle me...

Garofano : Hmm! Maine tumse iss Renshu ke baare me zikr kiya tha.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Garofano : Mein iss aadmi se pehle hi mil chuki thi. Aur, tab maine ek tohfe ke roop me ise apni khud ki banaayi gayi kuch sui saunpi thi. Saath hi zeher ki ek sheeshi bhi.

Veer ne turant hi Renshu ki orr dekha,

Veer : Kya ye sach hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!!

Ye baat toh Renshu ne nahi bataayi abhi. Iska matlab kuch chhipaaya jaa raha tha!?

Garofano : Maine ye soch ke ise woh di thi ki ye aadmi shayad hamari tarah ek accha insaan hoga. Aur, jo log system ke saath aam logo ko nuksaan pahucha rahe hai, unhe khatam karne me hamari madad karega. Lekin, mein galat thi.

Veer : ???

Garofano : Tum khud socho Veer. Police akhir mere ghar tak kaise aa gayi? Agar, maine hi hatya ki hoti. Toh mein koi saboot kyu chorrti waha? Kya mujh me itni aqal bhi nahi hai? Police ke paas saboot tha. Woh sui-!!! Woh zeher waali sui police ne mere pita ki body se baramad ki thi. Agar maine hi unhe maara hota toh mein woh sui unke shareer me kyu chorrti Veer??

Veer : That's-!!!

Garofano (gusse me) : Kuch samajh aaya? Police ko jo sui mili ye wahi sui thi jo maine iss bastard ko di thi-!!

Erica (gusse me) : Zubaan sambhaal ke-!!!!

Garofano : Apne Dad se kaho ki pehle ek accha insaan bane. Uske baad dusro ke upar ungli uthaana-!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Garofano : Veer!!! Isi ne mere pita ke shareer me woh sui ghop ke wahi chorr di thi. Meri harr sui par mera naam 'Garofano' guda hota hai. Bahut bareek hota hai. Isne usi baat ka faayda uthaaya. Isne mujhe fasaaya hai Veer. Trust me-!!!

Veer abhi kuch soch hi raha tha ki tabhi uski yaad-daasht ne use kuch yaad dilaaya. Woh pal jab woh Renshu se pehli baar mila tha.

Andhere se bhari samundar ke nazdeek uss gufa me jab woh ghaayal pada hua tha. Renshu ko Crimson samajh usne uss par hamla kar diya tha. Tab-

Tab Renshu ne kahi se ek 15cm kareeb lambi ek sui nikaali thi aur seedhe uski aankhon ki putliyo se 1 inch duri par tika di thi.

Use ye sab kuch yaad tha. Iska matlab-!! Woh sui-!!! Woh sui wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne tohfe me Renshu ko di thi. Matlab Garofano sach keh rahi thi. Renshu ko usne sui di thi iss baat ko jhutlaya nahi jaa sakta tha.

[Oh my~ It keeps getting better and better. Fufu~]

Garofano : Pucho iss se Veer. Isne hi mere Dad ke shareer me woh sui chorri thi jo maine ise gift ke roop me di thi. He betrayed me.

Veer ne punah Renshu ki orr dekha. Jaise maano uss se sawaal kar raha ho. Aur, Renshu bhi samajh gaya ki Veer akhir kya puchna chaah raha tha.

Renshu (sighs) : Ye sach hai!!

Veer : Huhhh!???

Garofano (smirks) : You fucker-!! Finally you admitted-!!

Renshu : Par ye aadha sach hai Veer.

Veer : Kya matlab?

Renshu : Ye baat sach hai ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me dhasi hui jo sui paayi gayi woh wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne mujhe di thi.

Garofano : See? I told you Veer. He was lying.

Renshu : Lekin, iss se ye kaha saabit hota hai ki maine unki hatya ki hai?

Veer : ???

Renshu : Darasal, maine hi Erica ko bheja tha. Erica ne hi woh sui Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me daal ke chorri thi. Baad me police aayi, sui aur zeher ki jaanch kari. Sui me likha 'Garofano' naam unhe pata chala aur unhone Garofano ke ghar me raid kar di. Jaha unhe alag se Garofano ke ghar me sui rakhi mil gayi.

Garofano : That's right-!!! This fucker-!!! Veer!!! Isne na sirf mere Dad ke shareer me wo sui chorri balki-! Isne mere ghar me bhi dusri sui zeher se lipti hui wahi chorri thi. Police ne dono ko match kiya and they concluded- ki- ki mein hi murderer hu. But that's not the case...!!!

Renshu : Hmm! Ye sach hai. Erica hi thi woh.

Garofano (growls) : I fucking knew it-!! Mein jaanti thi ki iske peeche kisi system owner ka haath hai. Your fucking daughter-!!! Stealth skills huh!!? Mujhe andaza tak nahi lag paaya tha ki koi mere ghar me aake gaya hai. So, it was you-!!!

Woh gusse me Erica ki orr dekhi. Veer ki nigaahein bhi Erica par gayi. Sabko apni orr dekhte hue paa ke Erica ne apna chehra mod liya.

Garofano : Tsk!!!

Renshu : Par jaisa ki maine kaha Veer. Ye sirf aadha sach hai. Ab mujhe poora sach bataane do.

Veer : Hmm??

Renshu : Garofano ne theek kaha. Agar, usne murder kiya hota toh woh sui ko kyu chorrti? Right?

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Well, usne theek wesa hi kiya tha Veer. Murder karne ke baad iss ladki ne koi bhi saboot nahi chorra tha. Aur, isliye toh mujhe Erica ko bhejna pada. Yahi kaaran tha jo Erica ne fir woh sui Mr. Nicholson ki body par chorri. Tumko pata hai kyu?

Veer : ???

Renshu (smirks) : Kyuki, Mr. Nicholson ki maut pehle hi iske zeher se ho chuki thi. Sui se vaar kar, unhe maut ke ghaat pe utaar kar Garofano crime scene se faraar ho chuki thi. Woh toh accha tha ki mere paas iski di hui sui maujood thi. Isliye, Erica ne turant hi woh sui unke shareer me chorr di. Saboot iss ladki ne bhale mita diya ho, par maine police ke liye wapas se saboot de diya tha.

Veer (frowns) : That's-!!!

[No fucking way-!!! Hahahahaha!!! ]

Harr guzarte pal ye gutthi aur bhi ulajhti jaa rahi thi. Aur, Pari iska poora maza utha rahi thi.

Renshu : Ye ladki bahut chaalbaaz hai Veer. Koi bhi system owner itni badi galti nahi kar sakta. Ye sahi keh rahi thi ki bhala ye apne saboot kyu chorregi? Zaahir hai woh saboot maine chorre the taaki ye pakad me aa sake.

Veer : Meri ek baat samajh nahi aayi. Tumhe kaise pata chala ki Mr. Nicholson ke saath aisa kuch hone waala hai? Aur, sahi waqt par tumne Erica ko bhi bhej diya?

Renshu (sighs) : Because I was keeping tabs on her.

Veer : Huh!!?

Renshu : Veer! Mein tum par vishvaas karta hu. Isliye, tum se kuch nahi chhipaata. Yaad hai jab mein tumhari madad karne aaya tha tab tumne mujhse pucha tha ki bhala mujhe ye kaise pata chala ki tum musibat me ho?

Veer : Haan! Mujhe yaad hai. Aur, tumne kaha tha ki tumhe kisi ka call aaya tha. X!!! Usne tumhe bataya tha.

Renshu : That's right!! Wahi call iss baar mujhe firse aaya tha.

Veer : Huhh!!??

Renshu : Pichli baar jab wo call aaya tha tab wo voice modulated voice thi.

Veer : Modulated voice??

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Matlab badli hui awaaz. Erica ke paas advanced observation skill hai Veer. Jab uss X ne mujhe pehli baar call kiya tha toh maine wo call record kar li thi. Baad me Erica ne jab woh call recording suni toh usne mujhe bataaya tha ki ye awaaz asli awaaz nahi thi uss insaan ki. Woh insaan koi voice modulation ki skill use kar raha tha.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Iss baar kuch din pehle mujhe fir call aaya tha. Lekin, iss baar Erica ne bataya ki awaaz modulated nahi thi. Insaan ki khud ki awaaz thi. Awaaz kisi aurat ki thi. Aur, usne mujh se bas ek hi baat kahi thi~

Veer : ???

Renshu : Ki China me jald hi Korea ke rishte naate tootne waale hai. Nazar rakhna.

Veer : What!!?

Renshu : Korea se sirf Garofano hi hai system owner ke roop me. Mein samajh gaya tha ki kiski baat ho rahi thi. Aur, isliye maine Erica se kaha tha Garofano ke upar nazar rakhne ke liye. Kyuki, jaise hi Mr. Nicholson China kuch din pehle aaye, tabhi mein samajh gaya tha ki kuch gadbad hone waali hai.

Garofano : Wh-What-!!? T-Tum kisi anjaan ke kehne par kuch bhi kar baithoge? A-Are you an idiot!?

Renshu : Uss anjaan ke kehne par hi Veer ki jaan bach paayi thi. Tum ye baat acche se jaante ho Veer.

Veer (frowns) : I-

Renshu : Mein maanta hu ki kisi anjaan vyakti par itna bharosa karna theek baat nahi. Par, hum iss baat ko kaise nazar-andaaz kar sakte hai ki uss X ki wajah se hi Veer tumhari jaan bachi hai. Aur toh aur agar woh phone call na aata toh shayad ye Garofano madam qatl kar ke nikal chuki hoti.

Garofano (screams) : Ye sab jhooth hai-!!! Wh-Why!? Why would I kill my own father!!?

Renshu : Isliye, maine uss X ko bhi ek card bheja tha.

Veer : Whatttt!!??

Renshu : Abhi jo call aaya tha woh aurat-!!! Uska kehna tha ki woh USA se hai.

Veer : USA???

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Mein chaahta tha ki agar wo waqai hamari side hai, toh woh yaha aaye aur hum uske baare me jaan paaye.

Veer : Kya usne apna naam bataya?

Renshu : Nahi! Par itna zaroor kaha tha ki filhaal woh USA me hai. Aur ye ki mein uski baat ko halke me na lu. Mr. Nicholson waali baat.

Veer : I see!!!

Renshu : Veer! Ab tumhare upar hai. Maine sab kuch tumhare saamne rakh diya hai. Agar tum chaaho toh aur sawaal puch sakte ho.

Garofano : He's lying Veer-!!! Kisi teesre ke kehne par tum kaise bharosa kar sakte ho? Jise tum jaante bhi nahi, jise dekha bhi nahi, jiske iraade bhi nahi jaante...!? Kaise-!? He's fucking lying-!!! T-Trust me Veer!!

Renshu : Veer-!!!

Garofano : Veer-!!!

'Fucking hell-!!!'

[Wahahahaha!!! What an interesting case. I'm loving every single second of it.]

'Shut up Pari! Let me concentrate! Inn dono me se koi ek jhooth bol raha hai.'

[Ya fir dono aadha sach keh rahe hai. Aur aadha jhooth.]

'Fuckkkk!!!!'

[They are waiting for your answer-!!!]

Veer ne dono ko dekha. Dono aas liye use hi dekh rahe the. Aur, dono ki aankhein uss se apeksha kar rahi thi ki woh unki side le.

'Fucking hell-!!! Ye kaha fass gaya mein-!??'

[Hahahahahaha!!!]

Veer ab ek vipda me tha. Aisi sthiti me jaha agar usne kisi galat ka saath galti se de diya toh kahi aisa na ho ki baad me woh zindagi bhar pachtaata rahe.

5 minute tak kamre me shaanti chhaayi rahi. Veer apne vichaaro me leen tha. Kuch sochne ke baad usne nirnay liya. Aur, gehri saans lete hue unn dono ko dekh bola.

Veer : Maine soch liya hai.

Renshu : !!?

Garofano : ???

Veer : Renshu! Garofano Jail se bhaag ke aayi hai. Zaahir hai police uske peeche padi hogi. Mein chaahta hu ki jab tak ye gutthi sulajh nahi jaati, tab tak Garofano yahi sahi salamat rahe. Aur, iss baat ki khabar yaha se baahar na jaane paaye.

Renshu : Whaaaatttt!??

Pal bhar ke liye Garofano ki aankhon me ek chamak dikhi. Uski nazre Veer par hi tiki hui thi. Woh uske chehre me khoyi hui thi.

Veer : Hmm! Sirf ek dusre ke keh dene se ye case solve nahi hone waala. Tum apni orr se dekh rahe ho. Aur, Garofano apni orr se. Mujhe lagta hai kuch missing hai yaha. Mine waala maamla kitni derr tak roka jaa sakta hai?

Renshu : Zyada se zyada 3 din. Kyuki, agar maine koi strategy nahi banayi toh government ki orr se firse koi na koi official aa hi jayega yaha dekhne ke liye ki kuch shuru hua bhi ya nahi. Aur, fir Jaw Long bhi attack kar sakta hai.

Veer : I see! Then, give me 3 days. 3 din ke andar andar... Mein iss gutthi ko suljha dunga.

Renshu : Huh!!!?

Erica : What?? What are you? Sherlock Holmes?? Tumhe pata bhi hai ki chal kya raha hai? H-How can you-

Iss se pehle ki Erica aur kuch Veer ko suna paati, Renshu ne apna haath dikha ke use wahi rok diya. Ek baar fir woh apne Dad ke Veer ke prati iss namr ravaiyye se hairat me reh gayi. Na chaahte hue bhi use khud ko rokna pada. Par, bechari Erica Veer ke intelligence se parichit nahi thi.

Veer ki nazre unfocused thi. Uska dimaag ab alag dhang se kaam kar raha tha. Ab uss Veer ke baahar aane ka samay tha jis Veer ne House of the Killers ki gutthi suljhayi thi.

Veer : Mein ye bhi chaahta hu ki tum meri madad karo Renshu. I will handle this case from now on. Aur, sach ko saamne laa ke rakhunga.

Renshu kuch shan tak Veer ko dekhta raha. Woh use parakh raha tha. Veer ki aankhein sab kuch bayaan kar rahi thi ki woh kitna serious tha iss matter ko leke.

Veer : Mine waale matter ko filhaal ke liye hold par rakhna hoga. Iss gutthi ko pehle suljhaana zaroori hai. Aur, Garofano-!!!

Garofano : H-Huh!?

Veer : Agar tum nirdosh saabit hoti ho. Toh mein chaahta hu ki tum mine waale matter me hamari madad karo-!!

Garofano : What!!?? Ye jaante hue bhi ki isi ne mujhe fasaaya hai, mein baad me iski madad bhi karu-!?

Veer : Please-!!!

Iss baar Garofano ne jaise hi Veer ki aankhon ko padha. Uska virodh apne aap samaapt ho gaya.

Garofano : F-Fine-! J-Just for your sake.

Veer (smiles) : That settles it. Then, mujhe kuch samay chahiye Garofano se baat karne ke liye. Garofano! Come with me-!!!

Garofano (nods) : Umm!

Erica : What? Hey Mister!!! Ye tumhara park nahi hai okay? This is my home!! Aur, tum yaha pe bina permission ke khud se charge nahi le sakte. You hear me? I-

Par, ek baar firse Renshu ne use haath dikha ke beech me hi rok diya.

Erica : D-Dad-!??

Renshu : Veer jo bhi madad maangta hai, use wo dena.

Erica : B-But-!

Renshu : No questions!!

Erica (sarr jhukaate hue) : Y-Yes!!

Idhar Veer aur Garofano kamre ke baahar nikal hi rahe the jab peeche se Erica ne awaaz lagaayi,

Erica : Waitttt-!!

Uske rokne par dono Veer aur Garofano palat ke use dekhe.

Erica : Our men-!! Tumne unke saath kya kiya? Jab tumne hamla kiya tab hamara ek bhi aadmi shor sunn ke yaha nahi aaya. What did you do to them??




Garofano : Hmph~!! They are fine! Bas, behosh hai. Go and have a look if you don't believe me.

Erica (mutters) : You will regret this bitch-!!

*Whoooshhhh*

Erica ek jhatke me waha se gaayab hui, aur baahar ki orr nikal gayi.



Jagah jagah Renshu ke saare aadmi behoshi ki haalat me dale hue the.

Usne railing ke paas khade hote hue neeche aangan me nazre daudayi. Sab ke sab behosh the. Koi bhi ghayal nahi tha.




'You will regret this-!! Dad ki insult-!! I will see you later Garofano!!'

Idhar, Veer aur Garofano punah baahar ki orr apna rukh karte ki peeche se iss baar Renshu ne unhe rok diya.

Renshu : Veer!!!

Veer (turns) : Hmm?

Renshu ne apne jaanvar ki khaal se bani uss odhni ko khola aur usme se ek kaagaz nikaalte hue Veer ki orr kiya,

Renshu : Ye Mr. Nicholson ki autopsy ki report ki ek photocopy hai. Have it!!! You'll need it.

Veer ne uske paas aate hue uske haath se woh kaagaz ka tukda le liya. Aur, Garofano ke sang wo uss kamre se baahar nikal gaya.

***

Baahar courtyard me aate hi Veer ne apne bagal se chal rahi Garofano ko dekha aur bola,

Veer : You are messed up!




Usne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha. Garofano jab se police dwara jail me le jaayi gayi thi tab se hi usne apna chehra tak nahi dhoya tha. Zaahir hai woh abhi apne sabse uttam roop me nahi thi.

Garofano : I know!!!



Par, Veer ki maujoodgi me woh kaafi hadd tak khud ko mehfooz mehsoos kar rahi thi.

Veer use ek dusre kamre ki orr laaya aur bathroom ki orr ishaara kiya. Garofano bina kuch kahe andar washroom me chali gayi. Veer tab tak wahi kamre me baahar baitha raha.

Jab tak woh aa rahi thi, tab tak Veer ne ek nazar uss autopsy ki report par dauda li.

Kareeb 15 minute baad Garofano washroom se nikal ke baahar aayi. Pehle se kahi zyaada behtar nazar aa rahi thi ab woh.



Veer : Better?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Woh aake wahi neeche bicche ek cushion par baith gayi.

Veer : So? Miss Garofano!?

Garofano : Garofano nahi Veer!! Please, just call me by my real name from now on. It’s ~ Violet!! Violet Nicholson!

Veer : Violet?

Garofano : Hmm! *smiles weakly* We have the same initials. Don’t we? V for Veer! V for Violet!

Uska ravaiyya Renshu ke prati ekdum alag tha aur Veer ke prati ekdum hi alag. Zameen asmaan ka antar tha dono ravaiyye me. Jaha Renshu ke prati uske andar se ghrina saaf saaf nikal rahi thi, toh wahi Veer ke saath hone par woh khud ko shaant mehsoos kar rahi thi. Veer ke prati uske andar thodi hayaa bhi thi aur thodi jigyaasa bhi.

Veer ne apne bagal se baithi uss sundar naari ko dekha. Woh jaanta tha ki iss waqt Garofano urf Violet apne dukh ko chhipaane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par wo isme nakaam thi. Uska dukh saaf saaf uske chehre par jhalak raha tha.

Veer : Alright then! Miss Violet! Talk!!!

Garofano : Ask me Veer. Tum jo jo puchoge mein sab ka jawaab dene ke liye taiyaar hu.

Veer : Hmm! Toh theek hai! Case shuru karte hai.

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Veer ne Renshu ki saari kahi gayi baat par zorr daala. Aur, seedhe hi woh prashn par aa gaya.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson ki rehesyamayi maut ke baad, unki will me yahi likha hua paaya gaya tha ki unki saari sampatti unki beti ko samarpit ki jaati hai. Right?

Garofano : Woh-

Veer : Par! Par! Par! Li Renshu ne tum pe ye ilzaam lagaya hai ki tumne paiso ki laalach me aake ye qadam uthaaya tha aur apne hi pita ko maut ke ghaat utaar diya. Taaki will me likhi gayi sampatti tumhe mil sake.

Garofano : N-Nahi-!

Veer : Lekin, ye baat yahi khatam nahi hoti. Hospital dwara Mr. Nicholson ki body ki autopsy bhi kari gayi thi. Aur post-mortem ke anusaar ek agyaat puncture ka ghaav unke ek chhipe hue ang par paaya gaya tha. Baad me pata chala ki ek behad hi jaanleva aur slow poison waha par inject kiya gaya tha. Report padhi abhi abhi maine jo Renshu ne mujhe di hai.

Garofano (panics) : Y-Ye jhooth hai!!! Tum jaante ho ki woh sui meri nahi thi Veer. Woh needle toh Renshu-

Veer : Li Renshu ne na sirf itna kuch pata lagaya balki report ye bhi kehti hai ki woh sui tumhari hi hai. Usi sui se woh ghaav banaya gaya tha isme koi shaq nahi. Aur, toh aur woh zeher bhi tumhari sui par laga hua paaya gaya jo Mr. Nicholson ki body se mila tha. Aur uske baad-

Garofano : Uske baad yahi sab hua.

Ek udaasi bhari muskaan uske hontho par aayi.

Garofano : Kaafi kuch tumne andaaza laga liya kuch hi palo me Veer! Lekin, ye sab- poori sachhayi nahi hai!! Mein tumhe andar pehle hi bata chuki hu.

Veer : !??

Garofano : Maine Mr. Nicholson ki hatya nahi ki hai. Wh-Why would I?

Uski awaaz me thar-tharahat thi. Lekin, uss thar-tharahat me ek dridhta bhi thi. Jaise woh nishchit thi ki sach kya hai aur jhooth kya.

Garofano : Li Renshu! Use jab se pata chala hai ki mein ek system owner hu tab se hi woh mujhe apni nigrani me rakhe hue hai. Aur, chuki mein system owner hu, isliye use ye aur bhi lag raha hai ki mein kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Maine hi qatl kiya hai. Yahi uska daawa hai. Ek baar bhi kisi ne mujhe apni begunahi saabit karne ka mauka nahi diya.

Veer : Hmm! Dekha maine sab kuch! Ek jhatke me woh decision le chuka tha. Koi chhaan-been kari hi nahi gayi. Mein ye bhi jaanta hu ki isme sirf Li Renshu aur Erica involved nahi hai.

Garofano (eyes widens) : Y-You mean!?

Veer : Yeah! Koi aur third person bhi involved hai. Li Renshu ko kisi ne influence kiya hai. Satark rehne ke chakkar me woh itna paranoid ho chuka hai ki usne kisi teesre vyakti ki baat ka itna bharosa kar liya. Aisa laga, jaise kisi bacche ko khilauna pakda ke use raazi kiya gaya ho.

Garofano : Th-That’s-

Garofano sarr jhukaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gayi. Magar, Veer ki nazre uski harr ek harqato par tani hui thi. Woh harr thode bol ke baad khud ko aise dikhaata jaise woh Renshu ki taraf hai, par fir aur kuch bolne ke baad aise jataata jaise Renshu galat hai.

Veer Garofano ki galti pakadne ka jaal biccha raha tha. Ye ek aisa maamla tha jaha koi bhi sahi ya galat ho sakta tha. Kya pata kaho Li Renshu sahi keh raha ho? Uske bagal se baithi ye sundar naari kaho khoon ki pyaasi ek hatyaari hi ho? Ye sab khaali uska dhong ho?

Ya fir ye bhi ho sakta tha ki Li Renshu hi galat tha? Woh koi chaal chal raha ho peeth peeche? Sabse zyada chakravyuh me Renshu ya Garofano nahi, balki Veer khud hi fasa hua tha. Use harr ek se sunishchit karna tha ki kaun saathi hai aur kaun dushman.

Woh ek prakaar se iss waqt ek double agent ke roop me kaam kar raha tha. Ek taraf use ye dikhana tha ki woh Garofano ki taraf hai toh wahi dusri orr ye ki woh Renshu ke saath hai. Aaj Las Vegas waale high IQ detective Veer ka imtihaan tha.

Veer : Mujhe nahi lagta ki system owner bas hone se turant hi kisi par bhi ilzaam laga dena chahiye.

Ye sunte hi Garofano thoda hairat me uski orr dekhi,

Garofano : Mujhe laga tha tum bhi baaki sab ki tarah mujhe ye gunaah qubool karne ke liye majboor karoge Veer!

Veer : Insaan kitni hi koshish kyu na kar le. Sach ko kabhi bhi chhipaaya nahi jaa sakta. I neither believe you nor disbelieve you. Mera bas itna maan’na hai ki saari baato ko jaan’ne ke baad hi decision liya jaa sakta hai. Toh mein chaahunga ki pehle tumhari kahani ko suna jaaye, taaki mein apni raay rakh saku.

Garofano ne haami bhari, aur bolna shuru ki-

Garofano : Theek hai, Veer! Mein tumhe sab kuch sach sach batati hu.

Veer : Hmm!

Ek gehri saans lete hue Garofano ne apni dastaan bayaan karna shuru kiya,

Garofano : Asliyat me, Mr. Nicholson aur mein... hum dono asli baap-beti hai hi nahi.

Veer : Huh!?

Garofano : I mean ye jo bhi rishta tha hamare beech, woh ek unofficial rishta tha. Na hi khoon ka rishta tha hamare beech aur na hi kisi paper par hamara rishta darj kiya gaya tha.

Kehte hue usne apne baal ki ek latt ko apne kaan ke peeche kiya. Woh apni yaadon ke talaab me aur gehraayi me gayi,

Garofano : Veer! Mr. Nicholson junoon se bharpoor insaan the. Woh charity aur trust me aksar khoob daan kiya karte the. Gareebo ki bahut madad kiya karte the hamesha. Aur mein unhi gareebo ki ek basti se ek aam ladki ki tarah hi thi, jiski madad unhone ki thi mujhe beti ke roop me apna ke.

Veer : Tumhara parivaar?

Garofano : Woh toh bachpan me hi guzar gaye the. Mein bas ek anaath bach gayi thi. Mushqil se hi zinda thi. Lekin, jaise tese bach gayi. Shayad mujhe bhi chale jaana tha iss duniya se tabhi. Hai na? *smiles weakly*

Veer : Parivaar kaise khatam hua? Kya tum share kar sakti ho?

Garofano : Ryongchon disaster!!

Usne bas yahi do shabd kahe. Aur, idhar Pari ne bina Veer ke bole hi turant hi uske mann me saari jankaari prastut kar di.

Ryongchon disaster!! 22 April 2004. Ek aisa train accident jo North Korea ke town Ryongchon me ghatit hua tha. Flammable cargo blast ho chuka tha. Saral shabdo me, woh padaarth jo jwalansheel tha, woh aag pakad chuka tha jiske chalte ek bhayanak visfot ne janm liya tha. Aur, train ke kayi saare dabbo ke chithde udd chuke the.

Zaahir hai Garofano ke maata-pita usi train me tab safar kar rahe the. Aur, aneko logo ke saath saath woh bhi apni jaan gawa baithe. Apne parivar me bas wahi ek thi jo kismat se bach gayi thi. Garofano ne ek gehri saans chorri aur bolna jaari rakha,

Garofano : Aur uss haadse ke baad mein poori tarah se anaath ho chuki thi.

Veer : Tum North Korea se South Korea jaa rahi thi?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm! Aur aa bhi gayi thi.

Veer : So, you are not completely Korean, right?

Garofano : Yes! Mein half-Korean and half white hu.

Veer : I’m sorry! Shayad mere kaaran tumhari puraani taqleef bhari yaadein taaza ho gayi.

Veer ne ahista se apni breast pocket se apna rumaal nikaalte hue uski orr kiya. Garofano ne halke se muskuraate hue uske haath se rumaal thaama aur boli,

Garofano : Isme tumhe sorry kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi Veer! Yahi woh time tha jab mein Mr. Nicholson se mili. Jab maine jeene ki icchha chorr di thi, saari umeedein chorr di thi. Tab, woh meri zindagi me farishta bann ke aaye.

Veer : Ohh!

Garofano : Unhone mujhe apni beti ki tarah paala. Aur jab mein badi hui, tab unhone hi Garofano cosmetics mujhe khol ke di thi. Mujhe jaise jeene ke liye ek naya raasta mil gaya tha.

Veer : I see!

Garofano : Mein hamesha se unka naam raushan karna chahti thi. Mein chaahti thi ki jitna unhone mujhe diya hai, mein uska kayi guna unhe lauta saku.

Veer : Aur isliye tumne system ka istemal kiya taaki Garofano cosmetics aur bhi ucchaayi par pahuch sake?

Garofano (nods) : That’s right!

Veer : Tumhe system kab mila?

Garofano : Haha!

Woh halke se muskurayi aur thahaaka lagaate hue Veer ko dekhi,

Garofano : Kya tum sach me jaan’na chaahte ho?

Veer (nods) : Yeah!

Garofano : Okay! Hassna mana hai, theek hai na? Mujhe system tab mila tha jab mein bar me nashe me dhutt hoke besudh si padi hui thi.

Veer : What?

Garofano (shyly) : I-It’s the truth! And, aisa karna bilkul bhi safe nahi tha I know. Mein drunk thi. Jiski wajah se, kuch ladke mera faayda uthaana chaahte the. Aur woh qamyaab ho bhi jaate. Agar, tab mere dimaag me wo awaaz nahi aati. Ding!! System has been activated. Haha!

Woh harr prayaas kar rahi thi ki inn chulbuli baato se wo apne dukh ko chhipa sake. Kintu, Veer ko sab kuch nazar aa raha tha.

Veer : I see! Back to the topic again.

Garofano : Ohh! Right! Sorry~

Veer : You can continue!

Garofano : Hmm! Jab se unhone mujhe apni beti maana tha tab se hi hum ek saath raha karte the. Ek dusre ka dhyaan rakhna, parvah karna. Laga tha jaise zindagi hamesha hi aise shaant, araamdayak aur dil-khush rahegi par-

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

Garofano : S-Sorry! Woh bas-

Veer : That’s okay! You can take your time. Parivar ko khona bahut hi peeda-dayak hota hai. Mein samajh sakta hu.

Kahi na kahi Veer ko Golu ki yaad aa gayi. Woh parivaar nahi tha uska. Lekin, uska sabse pehla dost zaroor tha.

Garofano : Toh fir tum ye bhi acche se samajhte hoge Veer… ki ek baar apne parivaar ko khone ke baad, mein dobaara apne kisi qareebi ko kaise khone de sakti hu?

Veer : …

Garofano : Hamara rishta bahut accha tha. Unhe maarne ka mein apne sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti. Mein khud apni jaan de dungi lekin unke saath aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi. Loneliness! Kaisi hoti hai ye mein jaanti hu. Mein dobaara kisi apne ko kyu khona chaahungi bhala?

Iss baar woh thitur uthi aur khud ko rok na paayi. Uske gaalo se aasu nirantar behne lage. Veer ne punah apna rumaal use thamaya.

Garofano : Th-Thank you!

Rumaal thamaate waqt Veer ki ungliyaan Garofano ki ungliyo se sparsh hui. Use mehsoos hua ki woh ekdum thandi ho rakhi thi. Kuch shan baad Garofano ne khud ko sambhaala aur sarr upar kar Veer ko gambheerta se dekhi.

Garofano : Mein jaanti hu… ki saboot mere khilaaf hai. Harr koi yahi samajh raha hai ki mein hatyaari hu. Lekin-

Veer : …

Garofano : Mein kabhi bhi apne parivaar ko nuksaan nahi pahucha sakti Veer!

Veer uske aseem dukh ko mehsoos kar paa raha tha. Uss dukh ke peeche dradh sankalp bhi tha. Veer nahi chaahta tha ki koi bhi apne parivaar se itna pyaar karne wala vyakti jhooth bole.

Veer : Well! Agar dekha jaaye toh tumhare khilaaf hi saare saboot ikhatta hue hai.

Garofano : Mmm! Mein jaanti hu!

Veer : Then?

Garofano : Veer! Agar tumhe waqai lagta hai ki mein Mr. Nicholson ke paise aur unki property ke peeche thi…! Mein batana chaahti hu tumhe ki mere aur unke beech pehle hi iss baat ko leke samjhauta ho chuka tha. Maine unse keh ke rakha tha ki mein unki koi bhi dhan daulat ka hissa nahi banungi.

Veer : …

Garofano : Aur wese bhi, agar mujhe diya bhi jaata hai toh bhi mein uski haqdar nahi hu. Wo property sahi maayno me unke chhote bhai ko milni chahiye.

Veer : Par ye sab unki will me-

Garofano : Rahi baat unki will ki- Toh mujhe ye sab unke iss duniya se jaane ke baad hi pata chala ki unhone mere liye koi will bhi banayi hui hai.

Wait!! Mr. Nicholson ka chhota bhai? Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Renshu ne toh aisa kuch bhi mention nahi kiya tha. Agar Mr. Nicholson ka sach me koi bhai hota toh Renshu ye baat beshaq uske saamne rakhta.

Ek baar fir Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Kaun jhooth keh raha tha? Kya Renshu ne theek se jaanch nahi kari thi? Ya Garofano jhooth keh rahi thi?

‘Damn it!!!’

[Hahahaha! What do you think, Mister Detective? Kaun sach keh raha hai? Aur kaun jhooth? If you solve this case, then I'll admire you. Just for this time I'm making an exception. Fufu~]

Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, filhaal ek mauka Garofano ko diya. Shayad Renshu ne theek se chhaan been nahi ki thi. Mr. Nicholson ka ek bhai bhi tha? Bhala iss baat ka zikr usne kyu nahi kiya? Ab use zaroorat thi ek raasta khojne ki taaki woh iss gutthi ko jald se jald suljha sake.

Veer ko iss tarah shaant dekh Garofano ka sarr neeche jhuk gaya aur woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Shayad ye gutthi ab sulajh nahi sakti. Hai na? *smiles* Aur ab dheere dheere meri umeedein bhi kam hoti jaa rahi hai Veer. Akele kis se ladti rahungi? Mein kisi ko maar to nahi sakti na?

Veer : That’s-

Garofano : Jab tak meri koi bas baat sunn le, mere liye bas wahi bahut hai. Mein usme hi khush hu. Mujhe koi safaayi nahi deni apne baare me. Mein dekhti hu mein kya kar sakti hu-! Then-

Veer : No! Mein iss gutthi ko suljha sakta hu. Iss poori problem ki jadd hai lack of evidence. Poora case hi uljha hua hai. Mein tum par apna trust rakh raha hu. Mein bhi dekhna chahta hu akhir kitna pyaar tha tumhe apne parivar se.

Iss baar Garofano use aashcharya me dekhi.

Garofano : T-Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhe yakeen hai ki mein nirdosh hu?

Veer : Maine aisa kuch nahi kaha. Mera kehna bas ye hai ki mein iss gutthi ko suljha ke rahunga aur asal me kya hua tha woh sab ke saamne launga.

Garofano : ….

Veer : Mein jaanta hu ki Renshu system owners ki taraf biased rehta hai. Koi bhi rahega. Unhe naap taul ke parakhta hai woh. Kyuki, agar koi khatra bann sakte hai toh woh system owners hi hai. Na ki aam insaan. Lekin-

Garofano (stares) : ???

Veer : Lekin, iss tarah se hum kisi nateeje par nahi aa sakte aur na hi bina tehqiqaat ke koi faisla suna sakte hai. Sach ko nazar-andaaz karna galat hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Isliye- Mein koshish karunga ki iss poori riddle ko solve karu aur tumhara naam sab ke saamne clear ho jaaye ki tumne Mr. Nicholson ko nahi maara hai. Yahi ek raasta hai jis se tumhe nirdosh saabit kiya jaa sakta hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Magar, uske pehle- Mein bhi chaahunga ki tum bhi mujhpe trust karo.

Garofano wahi jamm ke reh gayi. Lag raha tha jaise woh poori tarah se stabdh thi Veer ki baat sunane ke baad. Kuch shan baad, woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Veer-!!

Veer : Hmm?

Garofano (smiles) : Tum mujhe kisi ki yaad dilaate ho.

Ek bhaavuk, udaseen bhaav uske chehre par terr gaya. Veer ko turant hi kisi cheez ka ehsaas hua.

Veer : Koi family member?

Garofano ne haule se sarr naa me hilaaya aur boli,

Garofano : Nahi! Ek bachpan ka dost.

Veer : Ohh! Toh? Ab kaha hai woh-

Garofano : He’s no more!

Veer : ….

Garofano (smiles) : You remind me of him. Woh bilkul tumhari tarah tha. Dayaalu aur insaaf dhoondhne waala…! Such a pity…!

Veer : Kya hua tha?

Garofano : Huntington’s disease.

Garofano ke muh se nikalte hi Pari ne Veer ke saamne ek baar fir jankaari prastut kar di.

[Huntington’s disease. Ek aisa disorder hai jisme dimaag ke nerve cells yaani ki neurons toot ke bikhar jaate hai aur samay ke saath marr jaate hai. Iss beemari ka koi cure nahi hai.]

Padhte hi Veer ka mann bhi niraash ho utha.

Garofano : Mein khushkismat hu jo meri mulaqat tumse hui. Insaaf dhoondhne waale se…! *smiles* Mein sach me abhaari hu ki tum mere liye ye kar rahe ho. Pehli baar tumse milte hi samajh gayi thi mein.

Veer : Tum hum system owners me se ek ho. Aur, ye kahi na kahi hum sabki zimmedari hai ki sach ko khoja jaaye uske baad hi koi nirnay liya jaaye.

Garofano : Zimmedari unn sabne toh nahi li na Veer? Fir tumne kyu-?

Veer : I don’t know! I just feel like it. Tumhe abhaar vyakt karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Garofano bas dheere se ek haami bhari.

Garofano (smiles) : Hmm! I’ll wait then!

Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Akhir sach kaun keh raha tha? Kya Renshu jhooth keh raha tha? Magar, usne na sirf itni kuch baatein use batayi balki apni khud ki beti Erica ki bhi skill uske saamne khule aam bata di thi.

Advanced observation!!!

Isi skill ki madad se Erica ne uss phone call ke baare me Renshu ko bataya tha. Veer nahi jaanta tha ki ye advanced observation kaise kaam karta tha, par woh baad me Pari se iske baare me puch sakta tha. Zaroor Pari kuch na kuch iske baare me jaanti hi hogi. Agar woh skill shop se li gayi hogi, toh Pari ko beshaq iske baare me kuch na kuch andaaza zaroor hoga.

Agar, Renshu satark rehna chaahta aur use gumraah karna chaahta toh woh itna asaani se Erica ki skill kyu bataata?

Par, yahi baat Garofano ke liye bhi kahi jaa sakti thi. Pehli mulaqaat me hi usne 'Dead Silence' ka prayog kar ke Veer ko apni skill ka andaaza de diya tha.

Yaha tak ki usne apni sui banaane waali aur poison banaane waali skills ke baare me bhi koi virodh nahi kiya.

Akhir, chal kya raha tha!!?

Woh dono kuch aur baatein karte ki tabhi baahar se ek shor unhe sunayi diya.

*Honk* *Honk*

Kisi gaadi ke horn ki awaaz si maalum pad rahi thi. Raat me 10:30 ho rahe the. Iss waqt bhala kaun ho sakta tha?

Awaaz sunte hi Veer turant hi apni jagah se uth khada hua aur baahar ki orr chal diya. Woh akela nahi tha. Garofano bhi uske peeche peeche aa rahi thi. Kintu, woh savdhaan thi.

Use dhoondhte hue police bhi aa sakti thi. Isliye, seedhe seedhe woh baahar nahi jaa sakti thi.

Andar se Renshu samet Erica bhi baahar aa chuke the. Renshu ke aadmi abhi tak hosh me nahi aaye the, isliye baahar guard karne ke liye bhi koi nahi tha. Garofano sab ko behosh kar ke andar aayi thi.

[Garofano ke paas koi skill ya kuch aur zaroor hai jis se logo ko sleep ya unconscious state me daala jaa sakta hai.]

Pari ne Veer ko sachet kiya.

'Yeah!'

[This is your golden opportunity. Jab tak woh yaha hai, tumhe uske system ke baare me jitna ho sake utna pata karna hoga. Even Renshu aur Erica ke baare me bhi. We don't know who might turn their back against us.]

'I know!!!'

[Good!]

Erica ne jaise hi main entrance ka woh bada sa darwaza khola, saamne ek car khadi hui thi.

Aur, jaise hi car ka darwaza khula, usme se ek khubsoorat aurat baahar nikal ke aayi.




Saamne khade logo ko dekh, jaise hi uski nazar Veer pe padi, na sirf woh khud chaunki balki Veer bhi utna hi chakit reh gaya.

Divya : V-Veer!!???

Veer : Divya???

[monster@23]

Mega Update

[Note : Update itminaan se sambhal ke aur araam se padhna. Warna confusion hoga.]

Update - 171 ~ Who's lying? (1)​

Ab tak...

Ek chammach udte hue uss sui ki doguni raftaar se aage aayi aur seedhe sui se takra gayi. Sui aur chammach aapas ki matbhed me ghoomte hue idhar udhar jaa gire.

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Iss se pehle ki Garofano aur Renshu punah ek dusre ke upar focused ho paate-

*Whooooosssshhhh*

Ek haath ne unn dono ke haath ko baari baari mazboot jakad me thaam liya. Aur, koi unn dono ke beech aa gaya.

“Tum me se ab kisi aur ne fir haath uthaaya…! Toh accha nahi hoga.”

Ab aage...

Khamoshi!

Kamre ke andar 4 system holders maujood the magar uske bawajood waha sannaata fela hua tha. Erica ekdum stabdh, ankhein chaudi aur muh khole wahi murti ki tarah jami hui khadi thi.

Sab kuch palak jhapakte hue tha. Garofano ka iss tarah hamla karna ek hairaani waali baat toh thi hi par uss se bhi zyada hairaangi use Veer ko unn dono ke beech khade unn dono ko thaame hue dekh ke hui thi.

Idhar Garofano Veer ko pehli nazar me dekh ke chaunki thi. Akhir Veer yaha kya kar raha tha? Magar, use turant hi agle pal ye dhyaan aa gaya ki Casa Belle me usne uss raat Veer ke sang baat ki thi. Zaahir hai Veer yaha uss card ki wajah se aaya tha.

Card toh use bhi praapt hua tha. Par, aaj wo yaha madad karne ke liye nahi aayi thi. Uske iraade toh kuch aur hi the.

Uski aankhon par hare rang ki parat chadhi hui thi. Aur, andhere me wo aankhein aisi prateet ho rahi thi jaise maano ek saanp jhaadiyo me chhipe apne shikaar ko ghoor raha ho.

Woh Veer ko dekhi aur utne hi gusse me boli,

Garofano : Veeeeer!!! Beech me se hatt jao. Ye mere aur Renshu ke beech ka maamla hai. Tumhara isme koi role nahi hai. Get lost!!!

Veer : Role ho chaahe na ho. Now that I'm here...! I won't let you guys fight each other.

Garofano (frowns) : Tch!!! Veeeerr!!!

Iss baar Veer ki aankhein gusse me Garofano ke upar padi.

Veer : STAY PUT!!!

Aur jaise Intimidating Presence ne apna kaam kar diya. Veer ki aankhon ko dekh ek sihran Garofano ki poore badan me fel gayi. Aisa ehsaas hua ki agar usne Veer ki baat nahi maani toh zaroor kuch galat ghatit ho jayega.

Uski pakad apne aap dheeli ho gayi. Woh neeche ki orr dekhi. Apne iraado ko wo badal chuki thi. Haar maante hue usne khud ko dheela chorr diya. Aur, idhar Veer ne use aisa karte dekh uski kalaayi bhi chorr di.

Magar, uss par se dhyaan nahi hataaya. Woh dekh raha tha ki kahi Garofano fir se hamla toh nahi karegi. Par, Garofano ki aankhon se hare rang ki parat bhi ab chhat chuki thi.

Garofano : H-He-!! He was the one-!!!

Veer ne idhar Renshu ki kalaayi bhi chorr di. Woh Garofano ki orr muda. Haath choothate hi Renshu ne apne sarr ke temple par se paseene ki boond ko alag kiya. Use kuch anubhooti hui. Ye ladka...! Veer...!

Apni kalaayi ko usne dekha. 4 ungliyo ke nishaan uski kalaayi par chhaap chorr gaye the. Nishaan aisa ki uske utne hisse ki twacha andar dabb chuki thi.

Apni daadhi ko malte hue woh Veer ko gaur se dekhne laga. Toh wahi idhar Garofano ka virodh ekdum hi khatam ho chuka tha.

Garofano : S-Sirf tumhare liye Veer-!! M-Mein khud ko shaant kar rahi hu. Warna mein-

Erica : Warna mein? Warna mein kya? Ye tumhara playground nahi hai madam ki jab chaaha tab chali aayi aur-

Garofano ki nigaahein agle hi shan Erica par padi. Aankhein punaah chatak hari ho chuki thi. Aur, bolte bolte Erica beech me hi rukk gayi. Maathe par ghabrahat ki lakeere chhaa gayi. Gale me atka thook nigalte hue woh aage kuch na bol saki. Aur, Garofano dobara se wapas normal ho gayi.

Woh ahista ahista chalte hue deewaar ke paas gayi. Aur, jin sui ko usne feka tha unhe deewar me se baari baari nikaalne lagi. Saari sui deewar me dhass chuki thi.

Veer : Koi kuch batayega ki ye sab chal kya raha hai? Garofano? Renshu?

Veer ke prashn par Garofano turant palti. Uski aankhon me firse krodh tha.

Garofano : Tum apne iss pyaare dost se kyu nahi puchte Veer?

Uska ishara Renshu ki orr tha.

Garofano : Pucho iss se ki isne kya kiya hai. T-Tumhe pata hai mein abhi kaha se aa rahi hu?

Veer : Huh?

Garofano : Jail se!!!

Veer : What???

Garofano : That's right! Jail se bhaag ke aa rahi hu.

Veer : Tum jail me kya kar rahi thi?

Garofano : Pucho iss se. Ye batayega tumhe!

Veer ne jaise hi Renshu ki orr dekha toh Renshu sakhti me unn sab ko hi ghoor raha tha.

Renshu : Iski bakwas baato me aane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Ye Jail gayi thi kyuki isne murder kiya hai. Aur, lagta hai hume ise pakad ke wapas police ko saupna padega.

Woh aage do qadam jaise hi badhaaya, Garofano ke haatho me punah ek lambi sui aa gayi. Hamle ke liye taiyaar,

Garofano (glares) : Then try me you fucker...!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Veer (shouts) : SHUT UP!!!!

*Silence*

Ek baar fir khamoshi chha gayi. Veer ne ek gehri lambi saans li.

Veer : Koi bhi nahi ladega. Renshu!!! I want to hear your side first.

Renshu : Isme bataane waala kuch nahi Veer. Sach tumhare saamne hai. Mr. Nicholson ki abhi haal hi me hatya hui hai.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson!? Jab mein yaha aa raha tha tab maine radio me iss news ke baare me suna tha.

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Toh mujhe aur vistaar se samjhaane do Veer. Mr. Nicholson darasal Korea ke ek bahut bade business man the. Unka aana jaana China me laga rehta tha kyuki unka jitna business waha hai, utna hi yaha bhi.

Veer : I see!

Renshu : Lekin 3 din pehle hi unki laash paayi gayi thi. Aur isme koi shaq nahi ki unhe kisne maara hai. Autopsy ki report par pata chala ki maut ko sunishchit karne ke liye ek poison inject kiya gaya tha. Aur, aisa poison kisi ne kabhi nahi dekha hai. Ye naye kism ka poison tha.

Veer : Naye kism ka!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aisa poison jo ek system owner hi bana sakta hai.

Kehte hue Renshu ki nazre Garofano par gayi. Aur, Garofano use iss tarah apni orr ghoorte paa kar dekh gusse me gurraayi.

Garofano (glares) : Tsk!!

Renshu : Aur, ab asli sach suno Veer. Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita the. Isne apne hi pita ko maara hai.

Garofano (screams) : Ye jhooth hai-!!!

Renshu (shouts) : Yahi sach hai!!!

Veer : !!??

Renshu : Veer!! Ye ladki kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakti hai. Tum wo sui dekh rahe ho? Uske haatho me?? Zara dhyaan se dekho unhe. Unki nok ko...!

Renshu ki baat par Veer ne apni nazre daudayi aur Garofano ke haatho me maujood unn sui ki nok ko usne dekha.

*Tip*

'Huh!!??'

Aur use abhaas hua. Sui par se geele padaarth ki ek boond fisalte hue neeche zameen par giri.

Poison!!!

Renshu : Dekha na Veer? Yahi wo poison hai. Iss zeher ki vidhi sirf iss ladki ke paas hai. Yahi zeher Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!?

Renshu : Mujhe aur samjhaane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai. Jo zeher sirf ye ladki bana sakti hai, wahi zeher agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya hai toh iska kya matlab hua? Kya tumhe ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha? Ya fir ye kahe ki ek system owner ko kisi ne murkh bana diya?

Garofano (growls) : You liar-!!!!

Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Renshu saaf saaf uske saamne sab kuch rakh raha tha. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki autopsy ki report jo Renshu ne batayi thi, agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me Garofano ka poison paaya gaya tha aur saath hi wahi poison wo apni sui par laga ke chalti thi. Toh 90% chances the ki hatya Garofano ne hi ki thi. Lekin, batayi gayi report jhoothi bhi toh ho sakti thi. Renshu jhooth bhi toh bol sakta tha.

Veer aankhein moond ke kisi bhi faisle par nahi utarna chaahta tha. Ek pal ke liye uske badan me ek sihran daud gayi. Garofano ke baare me use nayi jankari praapt hui thi.

Woh ek naye kism ka zeher bhi bana sakti thi? Sui par uss zeher ko lagana aur unse vaar karna. Ye ek alag kism ka ladne ka tareeka tha. Jitna ye alag tha utna hi jaanleva bhi. Use yaad aaya ki kuch derr pehle wahi hamla uske upar hua tha. Kismat acchi thi jo woh sui uske shareer me nahi jaa paayi. Warna-

[She's interesting.]

Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi. Woh bhi Garofano ko parakh rahi thi.

Veer : Tumhe ye sab kaise pata chala Renshu? Autopsy ki report bhala tumhare haath kaise lagi? Aur, tum ye kaise keh sakte ho ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai? Kya tum koi reason de sakte ho ki Garofano ne apne hi pita ko kyu maara?

Veer ne aise sawaal rakhe jinse kaafi kuch haath lag sakta tha. Ab dekhna ye tha ki Renshu kya jankari deta hai.

Renshu (sighs) : Veer! Autopsy ki report ke baare me jaanana koi badi baat nahi hai. Tum bhi ek system owner ho. Maine Erica ko bheja tha report haasil karne ke liye. Ye pata lagaane ke liye ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me wo zeher kis prakaar ka tha.

Veer : Aur Erica ko tumne kyu bheja?

Renshu : Kyuki, mein pehle se jaanta tha Veer ki Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita hai. Ab agar ekdum se unki hatya ho jaaye aur wo bhi aise zeher se jiske baare me aadmi jaanta na ho toh kya tumhare andar shaq nahi paida hoga? Mere andar bhi hua tha. Isliye maine Erica ko bheja tha.

Veer : Hmm! Aur tumhara ye kehna ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai?

Renshu : Bilkul! Iske alawa aur kaun ho sakta hai? Mera Mr. Nicholson se koi lena dena nahi hai. Na hi Erica ka. Na hi tumhara. Aur na hi Tribal Leader Jaw Long ka. Toh kaun bachta hai system owner me? Ye ladki!!!

Veer : Kya reason de sakte ho tum mujhe? Kyu maara Garofano ne?

Renshu : Sampatti Veer!!! Athaay sampatti!! Itni sampatti ki tum note ki gaddiyo ka ek mahal banwa lo. Balki, aur zyaada. Laalach acche accho ko galat kaam karne ke liye majboor kar deta hai.

Veer : Really? Paisa?

Renshu : Will Veer! Harr Ameer insaan apni ek will bana ke jaata hai. Mr. Nicholson ki maut ke baad ye sab kuch charcha me hai ki unki ek will bhi thi.

Veer : Kaisi will?

Renshu : Yahi ki unki saari sampatti, unki beti ko jaati hai. Par, will bhala kis kaam ki? Agar, insaan zinda bana rahe toh? Isliye, isne apne hi pita ka qatl kar diya.

Veer : Really? Just for some money? I don't think-

Renshu : Ek toh yeh kaaran ho sakta hai. Dusra kuch aur bhi ho sakta hai Veer. Jise hum dono hi nahi jaante. Lekin, mein daave ke saath keh sakta hu ki hatya isi ladki ne ki hai.

Garofano (screams) : Jhoooootthhh!!!

Veer : Hmm??

Garofano : V-Veer-! Dekho ise! Dekho kaise baato ko manipulate kar raha hai. Asli baatein toh isne tumhe bataayi hi nahi. Isne apni kartoote toh tumhe bataayi hi nahi Veer.

Veer : Huh???

Garofano (shouts) : Agar mujhe pata hota ki tum itne bade waale dagabaaz aadmi nikloge ki meri hi peeth par chhura ghopoge toh maine tumhe woh sui kabhi di hi nahi hoti-!!!

Veer : Sui??

Garofano : Haan! Veer, yaad hai jab hum pehli baar mile the?

Veer : Casa Belle me...

Garofano : Hmm! Maine tumse iss Renshu ke baare me zikr kiya tha.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Garofano : Mein iss aadmi se pehle hi mil chuki thi. Aur, tab maine ek tohfe ke roop me ise apni khud ki banaayi gayi kuch sui saunpi thi. Saath hi zeher ki ek sheeshi bhi.

Veer ne turant hi Renshu ki orr dekha,

Veer : Kya ye sach hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!!

Ye baat toh Renshu ne nahi bataayi abhi. Iska matlab kuch chhipaaya jaa raha tha!?

Garofano : Maine ye soch ke ise woh di thi ki ye aadmi shayad hamari tarah ek accha insaan hoga. Aur, jo log system ke saath aam logo ko nuksaan pahucha rahe hai, unhe khatam karne me hamari madad karega. Lekin, mein galat thi.

Veer : ???

Garofano : Tum khud socho Veer. Police akhir mere ghar tak kaise aa gayi? Agar, maine hi hatya ki hoti. Toh mein koi saboot kyu chorrti waha? Kya mujh me itni aqal bhi nahi hai? Police ke paas saboot tha. Woh sui-!!! Woh zeher waali sui police ne mere pita ki body se baramad ki thi. Agar maine hi unhe maara hota toh mein woh sui unke shareer me kyu chorrti Veer??

Veer : That's-!!!

Garofano (gusse me) : Kuch samajh aaya? Police ko jo sui mili ye wahi sui thi jo maine iss bastard ko di thi-!!

Erica (gusse me) : Zubaan sambhaal ke-!!!!

Garofano : Apne Dad se kaho ki pehle ek accha insaan bane. Uske baad dusro ke upar ungli uthaana-!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Garofano : Veer!!! Isi ne mere pita ke shareer me woh sui ghop ke wahi chorr di thi. Meri harr sui par mera naam 'Garofano' guda hota hai. Bahut bareek hota hai. Isne usi baat ka faayda uthaaya. Isne mujhe fasaaya hai Veer. Trust me-!!!

Veer abhi kuch soch hi raha tha ki tabhi uski yaad-daasht ne use kuch yaad dilaaya. Woh pal jab woh Renshu se pehli baar mila tha.

Andhere se bhari samundar ke nazdeek uss gufa me jab woh ghaayal pada hua tha. Renshu ko Crimson samajh usne uss par hamla kar diya tha. Tab-

Tab Renshu ne kahi se ek 15cm kareeb lambi ek sui nikaali thi aur seedhe uski aankhon ki putliyo se 1 inch duri par tika di thi.

Use ye sab kuch yaad tha. Iska matlab-!! Woh sui-!!! Woh sui wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne tohfe me Renshu ko di thi. Matlab Garofano sach keh rahi thi. Renshu ko usne sui di thi iss baat ko jhutlaya nahi jaa sakta tha.

[Oh my~ It keeps getting better and better. Fufu~]

Garofano : Pucho iss se Veer. Isne hi mere Dad ke shareer me woh sui chorri thi jo maine ise gift ke roop me di thi. He betrayed me.

Veer ne punah Renshu ki orr dekha. Jaise maano uss se sawaal kar raha ho. Aur, Renshu bhi samajh gaya ki Veer akhir kya puchna chaah raha tha.

Renshu (sighs) : Ye sach hai!!

Veer : Huhhh!???

Garofano (smirks) : You fucker-!! Finally you admitted-!!

Renshu : Par ye aadha sach hai Veer.

Veer : Kya matlab?

Renshu : Ye baat sach hai ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me dhasi hui jo sui paayi gayi woh wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne mujhe di thi.

Garofano : See? I told you Veer. He was lying.

Renshu : Lekin, iss se ye kaha saabit hota hai ki maine unki hatya ki hai?

Veer : ???

Renshu : Darasal, maine hi Erica ko bheja tha. Erica ne hi woh sui Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me daal ke chorri thi. Baad me police aayi, sui aur zeher ki jaanch kari. Sui me likha 'Garofano' naam unhe pata chala aur unhone Garofano ke ghar me raid kar di. Jaha unhe alag se Garofano ke ghar me sui rakhi mil gayi.

Garofano : That's right-!!! This fucker-!!! Veer!!! Isne na sirf mere Dad ke shareer me wo sui chorri balki-! Isne mere ghar me bhi dusri sui zeher se lipti hui wahi chorri thi. Police ne dono ko match kiya and they concluded- ki- ki mein hi murderer hu. But that's not the case...!!!

Renshu : Hmm! Ye sach hai. Erica hi thi woh.

Garofano (growls) : I fucking knew it-!! Mein jaanti thi ki iske peeche kisi system owner ka haath hai. Your fucking daughter-!!! Stealth skills huh!!? Mujhe andaza tak nahi lag paaya tha ki koi mere ghar me aake gaya hai. So, it was you-!!!

Woh gusse me Erica ki orr dekhi. Veer ki nigaahein bhi Erica par gayi. Sabko apni orr dekhte hue paa ke Erica ne apna chehra mod liya.

Garofano : Tsk!!!

Renshu : Par jaisa ki maine kaha Veer. Ye sirf aadha sach hai. Ab mujhe poora sach bataane do.

Veer : Hmm??

Renshu : Garofano ne theek kaha. Agar, usne murder kiya hota toh woh sui ko kyu chorrti? Right?

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Well, usne theek wesa hi kiya tha Veer. Murder karne ke baad iss ladki ne koi bhi saboot nahi chorra tha. Aur, isliye toh mujhe Erica ko bhejna pada. Yahi kaaran tha jo Erica ne fir woh sui Mr. Nicholson ki body par chorri. Tumko pata hai kyu?

Veer : ???

Renshu (smirks) : Kyuki, Mr. Nicholson ki maut pehle hi iske zeher se ho chuki thi. Sui se vaar kar, unhe maut ke ghaat pe utaar kar Garofano crime scene se faraar ho chuki thi. Woh toh accha tha ki mere paas iski di hui sui maujood thi. Isliye, Erica ne turant hi woh sui unke shareer me chorr di. Saboot iss ladki ne bhale mita diya ho, par maine police ke liye wapas se saboot de diya tha.

Veer (frowns) : That's-!!!

[No fucking way-!!! Hahahahaha!!! ]

Harr guzarte pal ye gutthi aur bhi ulajhti jaa rahi thi. Aur, Pari iska poora maza utha rahi thi.

Renshu : Ye ladki bahut chaalbaaz hai Veer. Koi bhi system owner itni badi galti nahi kar sakta. Ye sahi keh rahi thi ki bhala ye apne saboot kyu chorregi? Zaahir hai woh saboot maine chorre the taaki ye pakad me aa sake.

Veer : Meri ek baat samajh nahi aayi. Tumhe kaise pata chala ki Mr. Nicholson ke saath aisa kuch hone waala hai? Aur, sahi waqt par tumne Erica ko bhi bhej diya?

Renshu (sighs) : Because I was keeping tabs on her.

Veer : Huh!!?

Renshu : Veer! Mein tum par vishvaas karta hu. Isliye, tum se kuch nahi chhipaata. Yaad hai jab mein tumhari madad karne aaya tha tab tumne mujhse pucha tha ki bhala mujhe ye kaise pata chala ki tum musibat me ho?

Veer : Haan! Mujhe yaad hai. Aur, tumne kaha tha ki tumhe kisi ka call aaya tha. X!!! Usne tumhe bataya tha.

Renshu : That's right!! Wahi call iss baar mujhe firse aaya tha.

Veer : Huhh!!??

Renshu : Pichli baar jab wo call aaya tha tab wo voice modulated voice thi.

Veer : Modulated voice??

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Matlab badli hui awaaz. Erica ke paas advanced observation skill hai Veer. Jab uss X ne mujhe pehli baar call kiya tha toh maine wo call record kar li thi. Baad me Erica ne jab woh call recording suni toh usne mujhe bataaya tha ki ye awaaz asli awaaz nahi thi uss insaan ki. Woh insaan koi voice modulation ki skill use kar raha tha.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Iss baar kuch din pehle mujhe fir call aaya tha. Lekin, iss baar Erica ne bataya ki awaaz modulated nahi thi. Insaan ki khud ki awaaz thi. Awaaz kisi aurat ki thi. Aur, usne mujh se bas ek hi baat kahi thi~

Veer : ???

Renshu : Ki China me jald hi Korea ke rishte naate tootne waale hai. Nazar rakhna.

Veer : What!!?

Renshu : Korea se sirf Garofano hi hai system owner ke roop me. Mein samajh gaya tha ki kiski baat ho rahi thi. Aur, isliye maine Erica se kaha tha Garofano ke upar nazar rakhne ke liye. Kyuki, jaise hi Mr. Nicholson China kuch din pehle aaye, tabhi mein samajh gaya tha ki kuch gadbad hone waali hai.

Garofano : Wh-What-!!? T-Tum kisi anjaan ke kehne par kuch bhi kar baithoge? A-Are you an idiot!?

Renshu : Uss anjaan ke kehne par hi Veer ki jaan bach paayi thi. Tum ye baat acche se jaante ho Veer.

Veer (frowns) : I-

Renshu : Mein maanta hu ki kisi anjaan vyakti par itna bharosa karna theek baat nahi. Par, hum iss baat ko kaise nazar-andaaz kar sakte hai ki uss X ki wajah se hi Veer tumhari jaan bachi hai. Aur toh aur agar woh phone call na aata toh shayad ye Garofano madam qatl kar ke nikal chuki hoti.

Garofano (screams) : Ye sab jhooth hai-!!! Wh-Why!? Why would I kill my own father!!?

Renshu : Isliye, maine uss X ko bhi ek card bheja tha.

Veer : Whatttt!!??

Renshu : Abhi jo call aaya tha woh aurat-!!! Uska kehna tha ki woh USA se hai.

Veer : USA???

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Mein chaahta tha ki agar wo waqai hamari side hai, toh woh yaha aaye aur hum uske baare me jaan paaye.

Veer : Kya usne apna naam bataya?

Renshu : Nahi! Par itna zaroor kaha tha ki filhaal woh USA me hai. Aur ye ki mein uski baat ko halke me na lu. Mr. Nicholson waali baat.

Veer : I see!!!

Renshu : Veer! Ab tumhare upar hai. Maine sab kuch tumhare saamne rakh diya hai. Agar tum chaaho toh aur sawaal puch sakte ho.

Garofano : He's lying Veer-!!! Kisi teesre ke kehne par tum kaise bharosa kar sakte ho? Jise tum jaante bhi nahi, jise dekha bhi nahi, jiske iraade bhi nahi jaante...!? Kaise-!? He's fucking lying-!!! T-Trust me Veer!!

Renshu : Veer-!!!

Garofano : Veer-!!!

'Fucking hell-!!!'

[Wahahahaha!!! What an interesting case. I'm loving every single second of it.]

'Shut up Pari! Let me concentrate! Inn dono me se koi ek jhooth bol raha hai.'

[Ya fir dono aadha sach keh rahe hai. Aur aadha jhooth.]

'Fuckkkk!!!!'

[They are waiting for your answer-!!!]

Veer ne dono ko dekha. Dono aas liye use hi dekh rahe the. Aur, dono ki aankhein uss se apeksha kar rahi thi ki woh unki side le.

'Fucking hell-!!! Ye kaha fass gaya mein-!??'

[Hahahahahaha!!!]

Veer ab ek vipda me tha. Aisi sthiti me jaha agar usne kisi galat ka saath galti se de diya toh kahi aisa na ho ki baad me woh zindagi bhar pachtaata rahe.

5 minute tak kamre me shaanti chhaayi rahi. Veer apne vichaaro me leen tha. Kuch sochne ke baad usne nirnay liya. Aur, gehri saans lete hue unn dono ko dekh bola.

Veer : Maine soch liya hai.

Renshu : !!?

Garofano : ???

Veer : Renshu! Garofano Jail se bhaag ke aayi hai. Zaahir hai police uske peeche padi hogi. Mein chaahta hu ki jab tak ye gutthi sulajh nahi jaati, tab tak Garofano yahi sahi salamat rahe. Aur, iss baat ki khabar yaha se baahar na jaane paaye.

Renshu : Whaaaatttt!??

Pal bhar ke liye Garofano ki aankhon me ek chamak dikhi. Uski nazre Veer par hi tiki hui thi. Woh uske chehre me khoyi hui thi.

Veer : Hmm! Sirf ek dusre ke keh dene se ye case solve nahi hone waala. Tum apni orr se dekh rahe ho. Aur, Garofano apni orr se. Mujhe lagta hai kuch missing hai yaha. Mine waala maamla kitni derr tak roka jaa sakta hai?

Renshu : Zyada se zyada 3 din. Kyuki, agar maine koi strategy nahi banayi toh government ki orr se firse koi na koi official aa hi jayega yaha dekhne ke liye ki kuch shuru hua bhi ya nahi. Aur, fir Jaw Long bhi attack kar sakta hai.

Veer : I see! Then, give me 3 days. 3 din ke andar andar... Mein iss gutthi ko suljha dunga.

Renshu : Huh!!!?

Erica : What?? What are you? Sherlock Holmes?? Tumhe pata bhi hai ki chal kya raha hai? H-How can you-

Iss se pehle ki Erica aur kuch Veer ko suna paati, Renshu ne apna haath dikha ke use wahi rok diya. Ek baar fir woh apne Dad ke Veer ke prati iss namr ravaiyye se hairat me reh gayi. Na chaahte hue bhi use khud ko rokna pada. Par, bechari Erica Veer ke intelligence se parichit nahi thi.

Veer ki nazre unfocused thi. Uska dimaag ab alag dhang se kaam kar raha tha. Ab uss Veer ke baahar aane ka samay tha jis Veer ne House of the Killers ki gutthi suljhayi thi.

Veer : Mein ye bhi chaahta hu ki tum meri madad karo Renshu. I will handle this case from now on. Aur, sach ko saamne laa ke rakhunga.

Renshu kuch shan tak Veer ko dekhta raha. Woh use parakh raha tha. Veer ki aankhein sab kuch bayaan kar rahi thi ki woh kitna serious tha iss matter ko leke.

Veer : Mine waale matter ko filhaal ke liye hold par rakhna hoga. Iss gutthi ko pehle suljhaana zaroori hai. Aur, Garofano-!!!

Garofano : H-Huh!?

Veer : Agar tum nirdosh saabit hoti ho. Toh mein chaahta hu ki tum mine waale matter me hamari madad karo-!!

Garofano : What!!?? Ye jaante hue bhi ki isi ne mujhe fasaaya hai, mein baad me iski madad bhi karu-!?

Veer : Please-!!!

Iss baar Garofano ne jaise hi Veer ki aankhon ko padha. Uska virodh apne aap samaapt ho gaya.

Garofano : F-Fine-! J-Just for your sake.

Veer (smiles) : That settles it. Then, mujhe kuch samay chahiye Garofano se baat karne ke liye. Garofano! Come with me-!!!

Garofano (nods) : Umm!

Erica : What? Hey Mister!!! Ye tumhara park nahi hai okay? This is my home!! Aur, tum yaha pe bina permission ke khud se charge nahi le sakte. You hear me? I-

Par, ek baar firse Renshu ne use haath dikha ke beech me hi rok diya.

Erica : D-Dad-!??

Renshu : Veer jo bhi madad maangta hai, use wo dena.

Erica : B-But-!

Renshu : No questions!!

Erica (sarr jhukaate hue) : Y-Yes!!

Idhar Veer aur Garofano kamre ke baahar nikal hi rahe the jab peeche se Erica ne awaaz lagaayi,

Erica : Waitttt-!!

Uske rokne par dono Veer aur Garofano palat ke use dekhe.

Erica : Our men-!! Tumne unke saath kya kiya? Jab tumne hamla kiya tab hamara ek bhi aadmi shor sunn ke yaha nahi aaya. What did you do to them??




Garofano : Hmph~!! They are fine! Bas, behosh hai. Go and have a look if you don't believe me.

Erica (mutters) : You will regret this bitch-!!

*Whoooshhhh*

Erica ek jhatke me waha se gaayab hui, aur baahar ki orr nikal gayi.



Jagah jagah Renshu ke saare aadmi behoshi ki haalat me dale hue the.

Usne railing ke paas khade hote hue neeche aangan me nazre daudayi. Sab ke sab behosh the. Koi bhi ghayal nahi tha.




'You will regret this-!! Dad ki insult-!! I will see you later Garofano!!'

Idhar, Veer aur Garofano punah baahar ki orr apna rukh karte ki peeche se iss baar Renshu ne unhe rok diya.

Renshu : Veer!!!

Veer (turns) : Hmm?

Renshu ne apne jaanvar ki khaal se bani uss odhni ko khola aur usme se ek kaagaz nikaalte hue Veer ki orr kiya,

Renshu : Ye Mr. Nicholson ki autopsy ki report ki ek photocopy hai. Have it!!! You'll need it.

Veer ne uske paas aate hue uske haath se woh kaagaz ka tukda le liya. Aur, Garofano ke sang wo uss kamre se baahar nikal gaya.

***

Baahar courtyard me aate hi Veer ne apne bagal se chal rahi Garofano ko dekha aur bola,

Veer : You are messed up!




Usne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha. Garofano jab se police dwara jail me le jaayi gayi thi tab se hi usne apna chehra tak nahi dhoya tha. Zaahir hai woh abhi apne sabse uttam roop me nahi thi.

Garofano : I know!!!



Par, Veer ki maujoodgi me woh kaafi hadd tak khud ko mehfooz mehsoos kar rahi thi.

Veer use ek dusre kamre ki orr laaya aur bathroom ki orr ishaara kiya. Garofano bina kuch kahe andar washroom me chali gayi. Veer tab tak wahi kamre me baahar baitha raha.

Jab tak woh aa rahi thi, tab tak Veer ne ek nazar uss autopsy ki report par dauda li.

Kareeb 15 minute baad Garofano washroom se nikal ke baahar aayi. Pehle se kahi zyaada behtar nazar aa rahi thi ab woh.



Veer : Better?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Woh aake wahi neeche bicche ek cushion par baith gayi.

Veer : So? Miss Garofano!?

Garofano : Garofano nahi Veer!! Please, just call me by my real name from now on. It’s ~ Violet!! Violet Nicholson!

Veer : Violet?

Garofano : Hmm! *smiles weakly* We have the same initials. Don’t we? V for Veer! V for Violet!

Uska ravaiyya Renshu ke prati ekdum alag tha aur Veer ke prati ekdum hi alag. Zameen asmaan ka antar tha dono ravaiyye me. Jaha Renshu ke prati uske andar se ghrina saaf saaf nikal rahi thi, toh wahi Veer ke saath hone par woh khud ko shaant mehsoos kar rahi thi. Veer ke prati uske andar thodi hayaa bhi thi aur thodi jigyaasa bhi.

Veer ne apne bagal se baithi uss sundar naari ko dekha. Woh jaanta tha ki iss waqt Garofano urf Violet apne dukh ko chhipaane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par wo isme nakaam thi. Uska dukh saaf saaf uske chehre par jhalak raha tha.

Veer : Alright then! Miss Violet! Talk!!!

Garofano : Ask me Veer. Tum jo jo puchoge mein sab ka jawaab dene ke liye taiyaar hu.

Veer : Hmm! Toh theek hai! Case shuru karte hai.

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Veer ne Renshu ki saari kahi gayi baat par zorr daala. Aur, seedhe hi woh prashn par aa gaya.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson ki rehesyamayi maut ke baad, unki will me yahi likha hua paaya gaya tha ki unki saari sampatti unki beti ko samarpit ki jaati hai. Right?

Garofano : Woh-

Veer : Par! Par! Par! Li Renshu ne tum pe ye ilzaam lagaya hai ki tumne paiso ki laalach me aake ye qadam uthaaya tha aur apne hi pita ko maut ke ghaat utaar diya. Taaki will me likhi gayi sampatti tumhe mil sake.

Garofano : N-Nahi-!

Veer : Lekin, ye baat yahi khatam nahi hoti. Hospital dwara Mr. Nicholson ki body ki autopsy bhi kari gayi thi. Aur post-mortem ke anusaar ek agyaat puncture ka ghaav unke ek chhipe hue ang par paaya gaya tha. Baad me pata chala ki ek behad hi jaanleva aur slow poison waha par inject kiya gaya tha. Report padhi abhi abhi maine jo Renshu ne mujhe di hai.

Garofano (panics) : Y-Ye jhooth hai!!! Tum jaante ho ki woh sui meri nahi thi Veer. Woh needle toh Renshu-

Veer : Li Renshu ne na sirf itna kuch pata lagaya balki report ye bhi kehti hai ki woh sui tumhari hi hai. Usi sui se woh ghaav banaya gaya tha isme koi shaq nahi. Aur, toh aur woh zeher bhi tumhari sui par laga hua paaya gaya jo Mr. Nicholson ki body se mila tha. Aur uske baad-

Garofano : Uske baad yahi sab hua.

Ek udaasi bhari muskaan uske hontho par aayi.

Garofano : Kaafi kuch tumne andaaza laga liya kuch hi palo me Veer! Lekin, ye sab- poori sachhayi nahi hai!! Mein tumhe andar pehle hi bata chuki hu.

Veer : !??

Garofano : Maine Mr. Nicholson ki hatya nahi ki hai. Wh-Why would I?

Uski awaaz me thar-tharahat thi. Lekin, uss thar-tharahat me ek dridhta bhi thi. Jaise woh nishchit thi ki sach kya hai aur jhooth kya.

Garofano : Li Renshu! Use jab se pata chala hai ki mein ek system owner hu tab se hi woh mujhe apni nigrani me rakhe hue hai. Aur, chuki mein system owner hu, isliye use ye aur bhi lag raha hai ki mein kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Maine hi qatl kiya hai. Yahi uska daawa hai. Ek baar bhi kisi ne mujhe apni begunahi saabit karne ka mauka nahi diya.

Veer : Hmm! Dekha maine sab kuch! Ek jhatke me woh decision le chuka tha. Koi chhaan-been kari hi nahi gayi. Mein ye bhi jaanta hu ki isme sirf Li Renshu aur Erica involved nahi hai.

Garofano (eyes widens) : Y-You mean!?

Veer : Yeah! Koi aur third person bhi involved hai. Li Renshu ko kisi ne influence kiya hai. Satark rehne ke chakkar me woh itna paranoid ho chuka hai ki usne kisi teesre vyakti ki baat ka itna bharosa kar liya. Aisa laga, jaise kisi bacche ko khilauna pakda ke use raazi kiya gaya ho.

Garofano : Th-That’s-

Garofano sarr jhukaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gayi. Magar, Veer ki nazre uski harr ek harqato par tani hui thi. Woh harr thode bol ke baad khud ko aise dikhaata jaise woh Renshu ki taraf hai, par fir aur kuch bolne ke baad aise jataata jaise Renshu galat hai.

Veer Garofano ki galti pakadne ka jaal biccha raha tha. Ye ek aisa maamla tha jaha koi bhi sahi ya galat ho sakta tha. Kya pata kaho Li Renshu sahi keh raha ho? Uske bagal se baithi ye sundar naari kaho khoon ki pyaasi ek hatyaari hi ho? Ye sab khaali uska dhong ho?

Ya fir ye bhi ho sakta tha ki Li Renshu hi galat tha? Woh koi chaal chal raha ho peeth peeche? Sabse zyada chakravyuh me Renshu ya Garofano nahi, balki Veer khud hi fasa hua tha. Use harr ek se sunishchit karna tha ki kaun saathi hai aur kaun dushman.

Woh ek prakaar se iss waqt ek double agent ke roop me kaam kar raha tha. Ek taraf use ye dikhana tha ki woh Garofano ki taraf hai toh wahi dusri orr ye ki woh Renshu ke saath hai. Aaj Las Vegas waale high IQ detective Veer ka imtihaan tha.

Veer : Mujhe nahi lagta ki system owner bas hone se turant hi kisi par bhi ilzaam laga dena chahiye.

Ye sunte hi Garofano thoda hairat me uski orr dekhi,

Garofano : Mujhe laga tha tum bhi baaki sab ki tarah mujhe ye gunaah qubool karne ke liye majboor karoge Veer!

Veer : Insaan kitni hi koshish kyu na kar le. Sach ko kabhi bhi chhipaaya nahi jaa sakta. I neither believe you nor disbelieve you. Mera bas itna maan’na hai ki saari baato ko jaan’ne ke baad hi decision liya jaa sakta hai. Toh mein chaahunga ki pehle tumhari kahani ko suna jaaye, taaki mein apni raay rakh saku.

Garofano ne haami bhari, aur bolna shuru ki-

Garofano : Theek hai, Veer! Mein tumhe sab kuch sach sach batati hu.

Veer : Hmm!

Ek gehri saans lete hue Garofano ne apni dastaan bayaan karna shuru kiya,

Garofano : Asliyat me, Mr. Nicholson aur mein... hum dono asli baap-beti hai hi nahi.

Veer : Huh!?

Garofano : I mean ye jo bhi rishta tha hamare beech, woh ek unofficial rishta tha. Na hi khoon ka rishta tha hamare beech aur na hi kisi paper par hamara rishta darj kiya gaya tha.

Kehte hue usne apne baal ki ek latt ko apne kaan ke peeche kiya. Woh apni yaadon ke talaab me aur gehraayi me gayi,

Garofano : Veer! Mr. Nicholson junoon se bharpoor insaan the. Woh charity aur trust me aksar khoob daan kiya karte the. Gareebo ki bahut madad kiya karte the hamesha. Aur mein unhi gareebo ki ek basti se ek aam ladki ki tarah hi thi, jiski madad unhone ki thi mujhe beti ke roop me apna ke.

Veer : Tumhara parivaar?

Garofano : Woh toh bachpan me hi guzar gaye the. Mein bas ek anaath bach gayi thi. Mushqil se hi zinda thi. Lekin, jaise tese bach gayi. Shayad mujhe bhi chale jaana tha iss duniya se tabhi. Hai na? *smiles weakly*

Veer : Parivaar kaise khatam hua? Kya tum share kar sakti ho?

Garofano : Ryongchon disaster!!

Usne bas yahi do shabd kahe. Aur, idhar Pari ne bina Veer ke bole hi turant hi uske mann me saari jankaari prastut kar di.

Ryongchon disaster!! 22 April 2004. Ek aisa train accident jo North Korea ke town Ryongchon me ghatit hua tha. Flammable cargo blast ho chuka tha. Saral shabdo me, woh padaarth jo jwalansheel tha, woh aag pakad chuka tha jiske chalte ek bhayanak visfot ne janm liya tha. Aur, train ke kayi saare dabbo ke chithde udd chuke the.

Zaahir hai Garofano ke maata-pita usi train me tab safar kar rahe the. Aur, aneko logo ke saath saath woh bhi apni jaan gawa baithe. Apne parivar me bas wahi ek thi jo kismat se bach gayi thi. Garofano ne ek gehri saans chorri aur bolna jaari rakha,

Garofano : Aur uss haadse ke baad mein poori tarah se anaath ho chuki thi.

Veer : Tum North Korea se South Korea jaa rahi thi?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm! Aur aa bhi gayi thi.

Veer : So, you are not completely Korean, right?

Garofano : Yes! Mein half-Korean and half white hu.

Veer : I’m sorry! Shayad mere kaaran tumhari puraani taqleef bhari yaadein taaza ho gayi.

Veer ne ahista se apni breast pocket se apna rumaal nikaalte hue uski orr kiya. Garofano ne halke se muskuraate hue uske haath se rumaal thaama aur boli,

Garofano : Isme tumhe sorry kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi Veer! Yahi woh time tha jab mein Mr. Nicholson se mili. Jab maine jeene ki icchha chorr di thi, saari umeedein chorr di thi. Tab, woh meri zindagi me farishta bann ke aaye.

Veer : Ohh!

Garofano : Unhone mujhe apni beti ki tarah paala. Aur jab mein badi hui, tab unhone hi Garofano cosmetics mujhe khol ke di thi. Mujhe jaise jeene ke liye ek naya raasta mil gaya tha.

Veer : I see!

Garofano : Mein hamesha se unka naam raushan karna chahti thi. Mein chaahti thi ki jitna unhone mujhe diya hai, mein uska kayi guna unhe lauta saku.

Veer : Aur isliye tumne system ka istemal kiya taaki Garofano cosmetics aur bhi ucchaayi par pahuch sake?

Garofano (nods) : That’s right!

Veer : Tumhe system kab mila?

Garofano : Haha!

Woh halke se muskurayi aur thahaaka lagaate hue Veer ko dekhi,

Garofano : Kya tum sach me jaan’na chaahte ho?

Veer (nods) : Yeah!

Garofano : Okay! Hassna mana hai, theek hai na? Mujhe system tab mila tha jab mein bar me nashe me dhutt hoke besudh si padi hui thi.

Veer : What?

Garofano (shyly) : I-It’s the truth! And, aisa karna bilkul bhi safe nahi tha I know. Mein drunk thi. Jiski wajah se, kuch ladke mera faayda uthaana chaahte the. Aur woh qamyaab ho bhi jaate. Agar, tab mere dimaag me wo awaaz nahi aati. Ding!! System has been activated. Haha!

Woh harr prayaas kar rahi thi ki inn chulbuli baato se wo apne dukh ko chhipa sake. Kintu, Veer ko sab kuch nazar aa raha tha.

Veer : I see! Back to the topic again.

Garofano : Ohh! Right! Sorry~

Veer : You can continue!

Garofano : Hmm! Jab se unhone mujhe apni beti maana tha tab se hi hum ek saath raha karte the. Ek dusre ka dhyaan rakhna, parvah karna. Laga tha jaise zindagi hamesha hi aise shaant, araamdayak aur dil-khush rahegi par-

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

Garofano : S-Sorry! Woh bas-

Veer : That’s okay! You can take your time. Parivar ko khona bahut hi peeda-dayak hota hai. Mein samajh sakta hu.

Kahi na kahi Veer ko Golu ki yaad aa gayi. Woh parivaar nahi tha uska. Lekin, uska sabse pehla dost zaroor tha.

Garofano : Toh fir tum ye bhi acche se samajhte hoge Veer… ki ek baar apne parivaar ko khone ke baad, mein dobaara apne kisi qareebi ko kaise khone de sakti hu?

Veer : …

Garofano : Hamara rishta bahut accha tha. Unhe maarne ka mein apne sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti. Mein khud apni jaan de dungi lekin unke saath aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi. Loneliness! Kaisi hoti hai ye mein jaanti hu. Mein dobaara kisi apne ko kyu khona chaahungi bhala?

Iss baar woh thitur uthi aur khud ko rok na paayi. Uske gaalo se aasu nirantar behne lage. Veer ne punah apna rumaal use thamaya.

Garofano : Th-Thank you!

Rumaal thamaate waqt Veer ki ungliyaan Garofano ki ungliyo se sparsh hui. Use mehsoos hua ki woh ekdum thandi ho rakhi thi. Kuch shan baad Garofano ne khud ko sambhaala aur sarr upar kar Veer ko gambheerta se dekhi.

Garofano : Mein jaanti hu… ki saboot mere khilaaf hai. Harr koi yahi samajh raha hai ki mein hatyaari hu. Lekin-

Veer : …

Garofano : Mein kabhi bhi apne parivaar ko nuksaan nahi pahucha sakti Veer!

Veer uske aseem dukh ko mehsoos kar paa raha tha. Uss dukh ke peeche dradh sankalp bhi tha. Veer nahi chaahta tha ki koi bhi apne parivaar se itna pyaar karne wala vyakti jhooth bole.

Veer : Well! Agar dekha jaaye toh tumhare khilaaf hi saare saboot ikhatta hue hai.

Garofano : Mmm! Mein jaanti hu!

Veer : Then?

Garofano : Veer! Agar tumhe waqai lagta hai ki mein Mr. Nicholson ke paise aur unki property ke peeche thi…! Mein batana chaahti hu tumhe ki mere aur unke beech pehle hi iss baat ko leke samjhauta ho chuka tha. Maine unse keh ke rakha tha ki mein unki koi bhi dhan daulat ka hissa nahi banungi.

Veer : …

Garofano : Aur wese bhi, agar mujhe diya bhi jaata hai toh bhi mein uski haqdar nahi hu. Wo property sahi maayno me unke chhote bhai ko milni chahiye.

Veer : Par ye sab unki will me-

Garofano : Rahi baat unki will ki- Toh mujhe ye sab unke iss duniya se jaane ke baad hi pata chala ki unhone mere liye koi will bhi banayi hui hai.

Wait!! Mr. Nicholson ka chhota bhai? Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Renshu ne toh aisa kuch bhi mention nahi kiya tha. Agar Mr. Nicholson ka sach me koi bhai hota toh Renshu ye baat beshaq uske saamne rakhta.

Ek baar fir Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Kaun jhooth keh raha tha? Kya Renshu ne theek se jaanch nahi kari thi? Ya Garofano jhooth keh rahi thi?

‘Damn it!!!’

[Hahahaha! What do you think, Mister Detective? Kaun sach keh raha hai? Aur kaun jhooth? If you solve this case, then I'll admire you. Just for this time I'm making an exception. Fufu~]

Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, filhaal ek mauka Garofano ko diya. Shayad Renshu ne theek se chhaan been nahi ki thi. Mr. Nicholson ka ek bhai bhi tha? Bhala iss baat ka zikr usne kyu nahi kiya? Ab use zaroorat thi ek raasta khojne ki taaki woh iss gutthi ko jald se jald suljha sake.

Veer ko iss tarah shaant dekh Garofano ka sarr neeche jhuk gaya aur woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Shayad ye gutthi ab sulajh nahi sakti. Hai na? *smiles* Aur ab dheere dheere meri umeedein bhi kam hoti jaa rahi hai Veer. Akele kis se ladti rahungi? Mein kisi ko maar to nahi sakti na?

Veer : That’s-

Garofano : Jab tak meri koi bas baat sunn le, mere liye bas wahi bahut hai. Mein usme hi khush hu. Mujhe koi safaayi nahi deni apne baare me. Mein dekhti hu mein kya kar sakti hu-! Then-

Veer : No! Mein iss gutthi ko suljha sakta hu. Iss poori problem ki jadd hai lack of evidence. Poora case hi uljha hua hai. Mein tum par apna trust rakh raha hu. Mein bhi dekhna chahta hu akhir kitna pyaar tha tumhe apne parivar se.

Iss baar Garofano use aashcharya me dekhi.

Garofano : T-Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhe yakeen hai ki mein nirdosh hu?

Veer : Maine aisa kuch nahi kaha. Mera kehna bas ye hai ki mein iss gutthi ko suljha ke rahunga aur asal me kya hua tha woh sab ke saamne launga.

Garofano : ….

Veer : Mein jaanta hu ki Renshu system owners ki taraf biased rehta hai. Koi bhi rahega. Unhe naap taul ke parakhta hai woh. Kyuki, agar koi khatra bann sakte hai toh woh system owners hi hai. Na ki aam insaan. Lekin-

Garofano (stares) : ???

Veer : Lekin, iss tarah se hum kisi nateeje par nahi aa sakte aur na hi bina tehqiqaat ke koi faisla suna sakte hai. Sach ko nazar-andaaz karna galat hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Isliye- Mein koshish karunga ki iss poori riddle ko solve karu aur tumhara naam sab ke saamne clear ho jaaye ki tumne Mr. Nicholson ko nahi maara hai. Yahi ek raasta hai jis se tumhe nirdosh saabit kiya jaa sakta hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Magar, uske pehle- Mein bhi chaahunga ki tum bhi mujhpe trust karo.

Garofano wahi jamm ke reh gayi. Lag raha tha jaise woh poori tarah se stabdh thi Veer ki baat sunane ke baad. Kuch shan baad, woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Veer-!!

Veer : Hmm?

Garofano (smiles) : Tum mujhe kisi ki yaad dilaate ho.

Ek bhaavuk, udaseen bhaav uske chehre par terr gaya. Veer ko turant hi kisi cheez ka ehsaas hua.

Veer : Koi family member?

Garofano ne haule se sarr naa me hilaaya aur boli,

Garofano : Nahi! Ek bachpan ka dost.

Veer : Ohh! Toh? Ab kaha hai woh-

Garofano : He’s no more!

Veer : ….

Garofano (smiles) : You remind me of him. Woh bilkul tumhari tarah tha. Dayaalu aur insaaf dhoondhne waala…! Such a pity…!

Veer : Kya hua tha?

Garofano : Huntington’s disease.

Garofano ke muh se nikalte hi Pari ne Veer ke saamne ek baar fir jankaari prastut kar di.

[Huntington’s disease. Ek aisa disorder hai jisme dimaag ke nerve cells yaani ki neurons toot ke bikhar jaate hai aur samay ke saath marr jaate hai. Iss beemari ka koi cure nahi hai.]

Padhte hi Veer ka mann bhi niraash ho utha.

Garofano : Mein khushkismat hu jo meri mulaqat tumse hui. Insaaf dhoondhne waale se…! *smiles* Mein sach me abhaari hu ki tum mere liye ye kar rahe ho. Pehli baar tumse milte hi samajh gayi thi mein.

Veer : Tum hum system owners me se ek ho. Aur, ye kahi na kahi hum sabki zimmedari hai ki sach ko khoja jaaye uske baad hi koi nirnay liya jaaye.

Garofano : Zimmedari unn sabne toh nahi li na Veer? Fir tumne kyu-?

Veer : I don’t know! I just feel like it. Tumhe abhaar vyakt karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Garofano bas dheere se ek haami bhari.

Garofano (smiles) : Hmm! I’ll wait then!

Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Akhir sach kaun keh raha tha? Kya Renshu jhooth keh raha tha? Magar, usne na sirf itni kuch baatein use batayi balki apni khud ki beti Erica ki bhi skill uske saamne khule aam bata di thi.

Advanced observation!!!

Isi skill ki madad se Erica ne uss phone call ke baare me Renshu ko bataya tha. Veer nahi jaanta tha ki ye advanced observation kaise kaam karta tha, par woh baad me Pari se iske baare me puch sakta tha. Zaroor Pari kuch na kuch iske baare me jaanti hi hogi. Agar woh skill shop se li gayi hogi, toh Pari ko beshaq iske baare me kuch na kuch andaaza zaroor hoga.

Agar, Renshu satark rehna chaahta aur use gumraah karna chaahta toh woh itna asaani se Erica ki skill kyu bataata?

Par, yahi baat Garofano ke liye bhi kahi jaa sakti thi. Pehli mulaqaat me hi usne 'Dead Silence' ka prayog kar ke Veer ko apni skill ka andaaza de diya tha.

Yaha tak ki usne apni sui banaane waali aur poison banaane waali skills ke baare me bhi koi virodh nahi kiya.

Akhir, chal kya raha tha!!?

Woh dono kuch aur baatein karte ki tabhi baahar se ek shor unhe sunayi diya.

*Honk* *Honk*

Kisi gaadi ke horn ki awaaz si maalum pad rahi thi. Raat me 10:30 ho rahe the. Iss waqt bhala kaun ho sakta tha?

Awaaz sunte hi Veer turant hi apni jagah se uth khada hua aur baahar ki orr chal diya. Woh akela nahi tha. Garofano bhi uske peeche peeche aa rahi thi. Kintu, woh savdhaan thi.

Use dhoondhte hue police bhi aa sakti thi. Isliye, seedhe seedhe woh baahar nahi jaa sakti thi.

Andar se Renshu samet Erica bhi baahar aa chuke the. Renshu ke aadmi abhi tak hosh me nahi aaye the, isliye baahar guard karne ke liye bhi koi nahi tha. Garofano sab ko behosh kar ke andar aayi thi.

[Garofano ke paas koi skill ya kuch aur zaroor hai jis se logo ko sleep ya unconscious state me daala jaa sakta hai.]

Pari ne Veer ko sachet kiya.

'Yeah!'

[This is your golden opportunity. Jab tak woh yaha hai, tumhe uske system ke baare me jitna ho sake utna pata karna hoga. Even Renshu aur Erica ke baare me bhi. We don't know who might turn their back against us.]

'I know!!!'

[Good!]

Erica ne jaise hi main entrance ka woh bada sa darwaza khola, saamne ek car khadi hui thi.

Aur, jaise hi car ka darwaza khula, usme se ek khubsoorat aurat baahar nikal ke aayi.




Saamne khade logo ko dekh, jaise hi uski nazar Veer pe padi, na sirf woh khud chaunki balki Veer bhi utna hi chakit reh gaya.

Divya : V-Veer!!???

Veer : Divya???

Aaj ke liye itna hi guys.
Ye mega update tha. Around 8.3k words. New year me naya update ek mega update deserve karta hai. Hope ju logo ne ise araam se padha hoga. Kyuki, jaldbaazi me bahut si details miss out ho sakti hai. Baaki, likes thokne ka aur revos rakhne ka. Target apna wahi hai. 160.
Dhanyavaad.

Awesome man,
Ab kiya hi kahe ab to tareef ke thak hi gaya hu mein, but bolna to pare ga,
To shuru karte he chalo ye to pata chala ke grifano aur renshu ke beech kiya problem he,
But ye mujhe 1 misunderstanding hi lagti he koi 3rd person 2no ko use karke apna kam kar raha he aur shayd wo system owner hi he kyu ke kisi aam insan ke bas ki to nahi he ye cheeze,
Me soch raha tha ke kiya aisa ho sakta he ke grifano ka bnaya hua jo poison he wo koi aur system owner bana sakta he mujhe possiblity lag rahi he thori kyu ke hume nahi pata ke kisi system owner ke pass kiya skills he na system owner ko pata he to ye bhi pata nahi hoga ke 1 jese skills ho sakti he kisi ke pas renshu, veer and erica ke pass grifano ki poison skill nahi he to wo yahi samjh rahe he ke sirf usi ke pas hogi but maybe ho sakta he ke kisi aur system owner ke pass wo skill ho jise use kar ke usne grifano ko phasaya he, ye mera point of view he baqi writer sahab ko ziyada pata he,
But ab veer is ko bhi investigate kare ga to veer ke liye problem double hogai he aur ho sakta he ke grifano ke case ko investigate karte huye kuch aur bhi pata chale veer ko yaha koi mission hi mil jaye,
Dekhte he aage kiya hoga,
And second divya aur veer bhi amne samne aagye he to veer ke liye thori aasani hojaye gi divya ki help lega wo is me,
Baqi renshu bhi shayad kuch to chupa raha he, kiya ye pata nahi,
Ye sb mere dimag me aya to me bol raha hu baqi werewolf bhai ko ziyada pata he kyu ke khani to un ki hi he,
Anyways update har baar ki trha awesome he wonderful work bro keep it up,

Mega Update

[Note : Update itminaan se sambhal ke aur araam se padhna. Warna confusion hoga.]

Update - 171 ~ Who's lying? (1)​

Ab tak...

Ek chammach udte hue uss sui ki doguni raftaar se aage aayi aur seedhe sui se takra gayi. Sui aur chammach aapas ki matbhed me ghoomte hue idhar udhar jaa gire.

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Iss se pehle ki Garofano aur Renshu punah ek dusre ke upar focused ho paate-

*Whooooosssshhhh*

Ek haath ne unn dono ke haath ko baari baari mazboot jakad me thaam liya. Aur, koi unn dono ke beech aa gaya.

“Tum me se ab kisi aur ne fir haath uthaaya…! Toh accha nahi hoga.”

Ab aage...

Khamoshi!

Kamre ke andar 4 system holders maujood the magar uske bawajood waha sannaata fela hua tha. Erica ekdum stabdh, ankhein chaudi aur muh khole wahi murti ki tarah jami hui khadi thi.

Sab kuch palak jhapakte hue tha. Garofano ka iss tarah hamla karna ek hairaani waali baat toh thi hi par uss se bhi zyada hairaangi use Veer ko unn dono ke beech khade unn dono ko thaame hue dekh ke hui thi.

Idhar Garofano Veer ko pehli nazar me dekh ke chaunki thi. Akhir Veer yaha kya kar raha tha? Magar, use turant hi agle pal ye dhyaan aa gaya ki Casa Belle me usne uss raat Veer ke sang baat ki thi. Zaahir hai Veer yaha uss card ki wajah se aaya tha.

Card toh use bhi praapt hua tha. Par, aaj wo yaha madad karne ke liye nahi aayi thi. Uske iraade toh kuch aur hi the.

Uski aankhon par hare rang ki parat chadhi hui thi. Aur, andhere me wo aankhein aisi prateet ho rahi thi jaise maano ek saanp jhaadiyo me chhipe apne shikaar ko ghoor raha ho.

Woh Veer ko dekhi aur utne hi gusse me boli,

Garofano : Veeeeer!!! Beech me se hatt jao. Ye mere aur Renshu ke beech ka maamla hai. Tumhara isme koi role nahi hai. Get lost!!!

Veer : Role ho chaahe na ho. Now that I'm here...! I won't let you guys fight each other.

Garofano (frowns) : Tch!!! Veeeerr!!!

Iss baar Veer ki aankhein gusse me Garofano ke upar padi.

Veer : STAY PUT!!!

Aur jaise Intimidating Presence ne apna kaam kar diya. Veer ki aankhon ko dekh ek sihran Garofano ki poore badan me fel gayi. Aisa ehsaas hua ki agar usne Veer ki baat nahi maani toh zaroor kuch galat ghatit ho jayega.

Uski pakad apne aap dheeli ho gayi. Woh neeche ki orr dekhi. Apne iraado ko wo badal chuki thi. Haar maante hue usne khud ko dheela chorr diya. Aur, idhar Veer ne use aisa karte dekh uski kalaayi bhi chorr di.

Magar, uss par se dhyaan nahi hataaya. Woh dekh raha tha ki kahi Garofano fir se hamla toh nahi karegi. Par, Garofano ki aankhon se hare rang ki parat bhi ab chhat chuki thi.

Garofano : H-He-!! He was the one-!!!

Veer ne idhar Renshu ki kalaayi bhi chorr di. Woh Garofano ki orr muda. Haath choothate hi Renshu ne apne sarr ke temple par se paseene ki boond ko alag kiya. Use kuch anubhooti hui. Ye ladka...! Veer...!

Apni kalaayi ko usne dekha. 4 ungliyo ke nishaan uski kalaayi par chhaap chorr gaye the. Nishaan aisa ki uske utne hisse ki twacha andar dabb chuki thi.

Apni daadhi ko malte hue woh Veer ko gaur se dekhne laga. Toh wahi idhar Garofano ka virodh ekdum hi khatam ho chuka tha.

Garofano : S-Sirf tumhare liye Veer-!! M-Mein khud ko shaant kar rahi hu. Warna mein-

Erica : Warna mein? Warna mein kya? Ye tumhara playground nahi hai madam ki jab chaaha tab chali aayi aur-

Garofano ki nigaahein agle hi shan Erica par padi. Aankhein punaah chatak hari ho chuki thi. Aur, bolte bolte Erica beech me hi rukk gayi. Maathe par ghabrahat ki lakeere chhaa gayi. Gale me atka thook nigalte hue woh aage kuch na bol saki. Aur, Garofano dobara se wapas normal ho gayi.

Woh ahista ahista chalte hue deewaar ke paas gayi. Aur, jin sui ko usne feka tha unhe deewar me se baari baari nikaalne lagi. Saari sui deewar me dhass chuki thi.

Veer : Koi kuch batayega ki ye sab chal kya raha hai? Garofano? Renshu?

Veer ke prashn par Garofano turant palti. Uski aankhon me firse krodh tha.

Garofano : Tum apne iss pyaare dost se kyu nahi puchte Veer?

Uska ishara Renshu ki orr tha.

Garofano : Pucho iss se ki isne kya kiya hai. T-Tumhe pata hai mein abhi kaha se aa rahi hu?

Veer : Huh?

Garofano : Jail se!!!

Veer : What???

Garofano : That's right! Jail se bhaag ke aa rahi hu.

Veer : Tum jail me kya kar rahi thi?

Garofano : Pucho iss se. Ye batayega tumhe!

Veer ne jaise hi Renshu ki orr dekha toh Renshu sakhti me unn sab ko hi ghoor raha tha.

Renshu : Iski bakwas baato me aane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Ye Jail gayi thi kyuki isne murder kiya hai. Aur, lagta hai hume ise pakad ke wapas police ko saupna padega.

Woh aage do qadam jaise hi badhaaya, Garofano ke haatho me punah ek lambi sui aa gayi. Hamle ke liye taiyaar,

Garofano (glares) : Then try me you fucker...!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Veer (shouts) : SHUT UP!!!!

*Silence*

Ek baar fir khamoshi chha gayi. Veer ne ek gehri lambi saans li.

Veer : Koi bhi nahi ladega. Renshu!!! I want to hear your side first.

Renshu : Isme bataane waala kuch nahi Veer. Sach tumhare saamne hai. Mr. Nicholson ki abhi haal hi me hatya hui hai.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson!? Jab mein yaha aa raha tha tab maine radio me iss news ke baare me suna tha.

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Toh mujhe aur vistaar se samjhaane do Veer. Mr. Nicholson darasal Korea ke ek bahut bade business man the. Unka aana jaana China me laga rehta tha kyuki unka jitna business waha hai, utna hi yaha bhi.

Veer : I see!

Renshu : Lekin 3 din pehle hi unki laash paayi gayi thi. Aur isme koi shaq nahi ki unhe kisne maara hai. Autopsy ki report par pata chala ki maut ko sunishchit karne ke liye ek poison inject kiya gaya tha. Aur, aisa poison kisi ne kabhi nahi dekha hai. Ye naye kism ka poison tha.

Veer : Naye kism ka!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aisa poison jo ek system owner hi bana sakta hai.

Kehte hue Renshu ki nazre Garofano par gayi. Aur, Garofano use iss tarah apni orr ghoorte paa kar dekh gusse me gurraayi.

Garofano (glares) : Tsk!!

Renshu : Aur, ab asli sach suno Veer. Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita the. Isne apne hi pita ko maara hai.

Garofano (screams) : Ye jhooth hai-!!!

Renshu (shouts) : Yahi sach hai!!!

Veer : !!??

Renshu : Veer!! Ye ladki kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakti hai. Tum wo sui dekh rahe ho? Uske haatho me?? Zara dhyaan se dekho unhe. Unki nok ko...!

Renshu ki baat par Veer ne apni nazre daudayi aur Garofano ke haatho me maujood unn sui ki nok ko usne dekha.

*Tip*

'Huh!!??'

Aur use abhaas hua. Sui par se geele padaarth ki ek boond fisalte hue neeche zameen par giri.

Poison!!!

Renshu : Dekha na Veer? Yahi wo poison hai. Iss zeher ki vidhi sirf iss ladki ke paas hai. Yahi zeher Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!?

Renshu : Mujhe aur samjhaane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai. Jo zeher sirf ye ladki bana sakti hai, wahi zeher agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya hai toh iska kya matlab hua? Kya tumhe ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha? Ya fir ye kahe ki ek system owner ko kisi ne murkh bana diya?

Garofano (growls) : You liar-!!!!

Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Renshu saaf saaf uske saamne sab kuch rakh raha tha. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki autopsy ki report jo Renshu ne batayi thi, agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me Garofano ka poison paaya gaya tha aur saath hi wahi poison wo apni sui par laga ke chalti thi. Toh 90% chances the ki hatya Garofano ne hi ki thi. Lekin, batayi gayi report jhoothi bhi toh ho sakti thi. Renshu jhooth bhi toh bol sakta tha.

Veer aankhein moond ke kisi bhi faisle par nahi utarna chaahta tha. Ek pal ke liye uske badan me ek sihran daud gayi. Garofano ke baare me use nayi jankari praapt hui thi.

Woh ek naye kism ka zeher bhi bana sakti thi? Sui par uss zeher ko lagana aur unse vaar karna. Ye ek alag kism ka ladne ka tareeka tha. Jitna ye alag tha utna hi jaanleva bhi. Use yaad aaya ki kuch derr pehle wahi hamla uske upar hua tha. Kismat acchi thi jo woh sui uske shareer me nahi jaa paayi. Warna-

[She's interesting.]

Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi. Woh bhi Garofano ko parakh rahi thi.

Veer : Tumhe ye sab kaise pata chala Renshu? Autopsy ki report bhala tumhare haath kaise lagi? Aur, tum ye kaise keh sakte ho ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai? Kya tum koi reason de sakte ho ki Garofano ne apne hi pita ko kyu maara?

Veer ne aise sawaal rakhe jinse kaafi kuch haath lag sakta tha. Ab dekhna ye tha ki Renshu kya jankari deta hai.

Renshu (sighs) : Veer! Autopsy ki report ke baare me jaanana koi badi baat nahi hai. Tum bhi ek system owner ho. Maine Erica ko bheja tha report haasil karne ke liye. Ye pata lagaane ke liye ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me wo zeher kis prakaar ka tha.

Veer : Aur Erica ko tumne kyu bheja?

Renshu : Kyuki, mein pehle se jaanta tha Veer ki Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita hai. Ab agar ekdum se unki hatya ho jaaye aur wo bhi aise zeher se jiske baare me aadmi jaanta na ho toh kya tumhare andar shaq nahi paida hoga? Mere andar bhi hua tha. Isliye maine Erica ko bheja tha.

Veer : Hmm! Aur tumhara ye kehna ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai?

Renshu : Bilkul! Iske alawa aur kaun ho sakta hai? Mera Mr. Nicholson se koi lena dena nahi hai. Na hi Erica ka. Na hi tumhara. Aur na hi Tribal Leader Jaw Long ka. Toh kaun bachta hai system owner me? Ye ladki!!!

Veer : Kya reason de sakte ho tum mujhe? Kyu maara Garofano ne?

Renshu : Sampatti Veer!!! Athaay sampatti!! Itni sampatti ki tum note ki gaddiyo ka ek mahal banwa lo. Balki, aur zyaada. Laalach acche accho ko galat kaam karne ke liye majboor kar deta hai.

Veer : Really? Paisa?

Renshu : Will Veer! Harr Ameer insaan apni ek will bana ke jaata hai. Mr. Nicholson ki maut ke baad ye sab kuch charcha me hai ki unki ek will bhi thi.

Veer : Kaisi will?

Renshu : Yahi ki unki saari sampatti, unki beti ko jaati hai. Par, will bhala kis kaam ki? Agar, insaan zinda bana rahe toh? Isliye, isne apne hi pita ka qatl kar diya.

Veer : Really? Just for some money? I don't think-

Renshu : Ek toh yeh kaaran ho sakta hai. Dusra kuch aur bhi ho sakta hai Veer. Jise hum dono hi nahi jaante. Lekin, mein daave ke saath keh sakta hu ki hatya isi ladki ne ki hai.

Garofano (screams) : Jhoooootthhh!!!

Veer : Hmm??

Garofano : V-Veer-! Dekho ise! Dekho kaise baato ko manipulate kar raha hai. Asli baatein toh isne tumhe bataayi hi nahi. Isne apni kartoote toh tumhe bataayi hi nahi Veer.

Veer : Huh???

Garofano (shouts) : Agar mujhe pata hota ki tum itne bade waale dagabaaz aadmi nikloge ki meri hi peeth par chhura ghopoge toh maine tumhe woh sui kabhi di hi nahi hoti-!!!

Veer : Sui??

Garofano : Haan! Veer, yaad hai jab hum pehli baar mile the?

Veer : Casa Belle me...

Garofano : Hmm! Maine tumse iss Renshu ke baare me zikr kiya tha.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Garofano : Mein iss aadmi se pehle hi mil chuki thi. Aur, tab maine ek tohfe ke roop me ise apni khud ki banaayi gayi kuch sui saunpi thi. Saath hi zeher ki ek sheeshi bhi.

Veer ne turant hi Renshu ki orr dekha,

Veer : Kya ye sach hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!!

Ye baat toh Renshu ne nahi bataayi abhi. Iska matlab kuch chhipaaya jaa raha tha!?

Garofano : Maine ye soch ke ise woh di thi ki ye aadmi shayad hamari tarah ek accha insaan hoga. Aur, jo log system ke saath aam logo ko nuksaan pahucha rahe hai, unhe khatam karne me hamari madad karega. Lekin, mein galat thi.

Veer : ???

Garofano : Tum khud socho Veer. Police akhir mere ghar tak kaise aa gayi? Agar, maine hi hatya ki hoti. Toh mein koi saboot kyu chorrti waha? Kya mujh me itni aqal bhi nahi hai? Police ke paas saboot tha. Woh sui-!!! Woh zeher waali sui police ne mere pita ki body se baramad ki thi. Agar maine hi unhe maara hota toh mein woh sui unke shareer me kyu chorrti Veer??

Veer : That's-!!!

Garofano (gusse me) : Kuch samajh aaya? Police ko jo sui mili ye wahi sui thi jo maine iss bastard ko di thi-!!

Erica (gusse me) : Zubaan sambhaal ke-!!!!

Garofano : Apne Dad se kaho ki pehle ek accha insaan bane. Uske baad dusro ke upar ungli uthaana-!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Garofano : Veer!!! Isi ne mere pita ke shareer me woh sui ghop ke wahi chorr di thi. Meri harr sui par mera naam 'Garofano' guda hota hai. Bahut bareek hota hai. Isne usi baat ka faayda uthaaya. Isne mujhe fasaaya hai Veer. Trust me-!!!

Veer abhi kuch soch hi raha tha ki tabhi uski yaad-daasht ne use kuch yaad dilaaya. Woh pal jab woh Renshu se pehli baar mila tha.

Andhere se bhari samundar ke nazdeek uss gufa me jab woh ghaayal pada hua tha. Renshu ko Crimson samajh usne uss par hamla kar diya tha. Tab-

Tab Renshu ne kahi se ek 15cm kareeb lambi ek sui nikaali thi aur seedhe uski aankhon ki putliyo se 1 inch duri par tika di thi.

Use ye sab kuch yaad tha. Iska matlab-!! Woh sui-!!! Woh sui wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne tohfe me Renshu ko di thi. Matlab Garofano sach keh rahi thi. Renshu ko usne sui di thi iss baat ko jhutlaya nahi jaa sakta tha.

[Oh my~ It keeps getting better and better. Fufu~]

Garofano : Pucho iss se Veer. Isne hi mere Dad ke shareer me woh sui chorri thi jo maine ise gift ke roop me di thi. He betrayed me.

Veer ne punah Renshu ki orr dekha. Jaise maano uss se sawaal kar raha ho. Aur, Renshu bhi samajh gaya ki Veer akhir kya puchna chaah raha tha.

Renshu (sighs) : Ye sach hai!!

Veer : Huhhh!???

Garofano (smirks) : You fucker-!! Finally you admitted-!!

Renshu : Par ye aadha sach hai Veer.

Veer : Kya matlab?

Renshu : Ye baat sach hai ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me dhasi hui jo sui paayi gayi woh wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne mujhe di thi.

Garofano : See? I told you Veer. He was lying.

Renshu : Lekin, iss se ye kaha saabit hota hai ki maine unki hatya ki hai?

Veer : ???

Renshu : Darasal, maine hi Erica ko bheja tha. Erica ne hi woh sui Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me daal ke chorri thi. Baad me police aayi, sui aur zeher ki jaanch kari. Sui me likha 'Garofano' naam unhe pata chala aur unhone Garofano ke ghar me raid kar di. Jaha unhe alag se Garofano ke ghar me sui rakhi mil gayi.

Garofano : That's right-!!! This fucker-!!! Veer!!! Isne na sirf mere Dad ke shareer me wo sui chorri balki-! Isne mere ghar me bhi dusri sui zeher se lipti hui wahi chorri thi. Police ne dono ko match kiya and they concluded- ki- ki mein hi murderer hu. But that's not the case...!!!

Renshu : Hmm! Ye sach hai. Erica hi thi woh.

Garofano (growls) : I fucking knew it-!! Mein jaanti thi ki iske peeche kisi system owner ka haath hai. Your fucking daughter-!!! Stealth skills huh!!? Mujhe andaza tak nahi lag paaya tha ki koi mere ghar me aake gaya hai. So, it was you-!!!

Woh gusse me Erica ki orr dekhi. Veer ki nigaahein bhi Erica par gayi. Sabko apni orr dekhte hue paa ke Erica ne apna chehra mod liya.

Garofano : Tsk!!!

Renshu : Par jaisa ki maine kaha Veer. Ye sirf aadha sach hai. Ab mujhe poora sach bataane do.

Veer : Hmm??

Renshu : Garofano ne theek kaha. Agar, usne murder kiya hota toh woh sui ko kyu chorrti? Right?

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Well, usne theek wesa hi kiya tha Veer. Murder karne ke baad iss ladki ne koi bhi saboot nahi chorra tha. Aur, isliye toh mujhe Erica ko bhejna pada. Yahi kaaran tha jo Erica ne fir woh sui Mr. Nicholson ki body par chorri. Tumko pata hai kyu?

Veer : ???

Renshu (smirks) : Kyuki, Mr. Nicholson ki maut pehle hi iske zeher se ho chuki thi. Sui se vaar kar, unhe maut ke ghaat pe utaar kar Garofano crime scene se faraar ho chuki thi. Woh toh accha tha ki mere paas iski di hui sui maujood thi. Isliye, Erica ne turant hi woh sui unke shareer me chorr di. Saboot iss ladki ne bhale mita diya ho, par maine police ke liye wapas se saboot de diya tha.

Veer (frowns) : That's-!!!

[No fucking way-!!! Hahahahaha!!! ]

Harr guzarte pal ye gutthi aur bhi ulajhti jaa rahi thi. Aur, Pari iska poora maza utha rahi thi.

Renshu : Ye ladki bahut chaalbaaz hai Veer. Koi bhi system owner itni badi galti nahi kar sakta. Ye sahi keh rahi thi ki bhala ye apne saboot kyu chorregi? Zaahir hai woh saboot maine chorre the taaki ye pakad me aa sake.

Veer : Meri ek baat samajh nahi aayi. Tumhe kaise pata chala ki Mr. Nicholson ke saath aisa kuch hone waala hai? Aur, sahi waqt par tumne Erica ko bhi bhej diya?

Renshu (sighs) : Because I was keeping tabs on her.

Veer : Huh!!?

Renshu : Veer! Mein tum par vishvaas karta hu. Isliye, tum se kuch nahi chhipaata. Yaad hai jab mein tumhari madad karne aaya tha tab tumne mujhse pucha tha ki bhala mujhe ye kaise pata chala ki tum musibat me ho?

Veer : Haan! Mujhe yaad hai. Aur, tumne kaha tha ki tumhe kisi ka call aaya tha. X!!! Usne tumhe bataya tha.

Renshu : That's right!! Wahi call iss baar mujhe firse aaya tha.

Veer : Huhh!!??

Renshu : Pichli baar jab wo call aaya tha tab wo voice modulated voice thi.

Veer : Modulated voice??

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Matlab badli hui awaaz. Erica ke paas advanced observation skill hai Veer. Jab uss X ne mujhe pehli baar call kiya tha toh maine wo call record kar li thi. Baad me Erica ne jab woh call recording suni toh usne mujhe bataaya tha ki ye awaaz asli awaaz nahi thi uss insaan ki. Woh insaan koi voice modulation ki skill use kar raha tha.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Iss baar kuch din pehle mujhe fir call aaya tha. Lekin, iss baar Erica ne bataya ki awaaz modulated nahi thi. Insaan ki khud ki awaaz thi. Awaaz kisi aurat ki thi. Aur, usne mujh se bas ek hi baat kahi thi~

Veer : ???

Renshu : Ki China me jald hi Korea ke rishte naate tootne waale hai. Nazar rakhna.

Veer : What!!?

Renshu : Korea se sirf Garofano hi hai system owner ke roop me. Mein samajh gaya tha ki kiski baat ho rahi thi. Aur, isliye maine Erica se kaha tha Garofano ke upar nazar rakhne ke liye. Kyuki, jaise hi Mr. Nicholson China kuch din pehle aaye, tabhi mein samajh gaya tha ki kuch gadbad hone waali hai.

Garofano : Wh-What-!!? T-Tum kisi anjaan ke kehne par kuch bhi kar baithoge? A-Are you an idiot!?

Renshu : Uss anjaan ke kehne par hi Veer ki jaan bach paayi thi. Tum ye baat acche se jaante ho Veer.

Veer (frowns) : I-

Renshu : Mein maanta hu ki kisi anjaan vyakti par itna bharosa karna theek baat nahi. Par, hum iss baat ko kaise nazar-andaaz kar sakte hai ki uss X ki wajah se hi Veer tumhari jaan bachi hai. Aur toh aur agar woh phone call na aata toh shayad ye Garofano madam qatl kar ke nikal chuki hoti.

Garofano (screams) : Ye sab jhooth hai-!!! Wh-Why!? Why would I kill my own father!!?

Renshu : Isliye, maine uss X ko bhi ek card bheja tha.

Veer : Whatttt!!??

Renshu : Abhi jo call aaya tha woh aurat-!!! Uska kehna tha ki woh USA se hai.

Veer : USA???

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Mein chaahta tha ki agar wo waqai hamari side hai, toh woh yaha aaye aur hum uske baare me jaan paaye.

Veer : Kya usne apna naam bataya?

Renshu : Nahi! Par itna zaroor kaha tha ki filhaal woh USA me hai. Aur ye ki mein uski baat ko halke me na lu. Mr. Nicholson waali baat.

Veer : I see!!!

Renshu : Veer! Ab tumhare upar hai. Maine sab kuch tumhare saamne rakh diya hai. Agar tum chaaho toh aur sawaal puch sakte ho.

Garofano : He's lying Veer-!!! Kisi teesre ke kehne par tum kaise bharosa kar sakte ho? Jise tum jaante bhi nahi, jise dekha bhi nahi, jiske iraade bhi nahi jaante...!? Kaise-!? He's fucking lying-!!! T-Trust me Veer!!

Renshu : Veer-!!!

Garofano : Veer-!!!

'Fucking hell-!!!'

[Wahahahaha!!! What an interesting case. I'm loving every single second of it.]

'Shut up Pari! Let me concentrate! Inn dono me se koi ek jhooth bol raha hai.'

[Ya fir dono aadha sach keh rahe hai. Aur aadha jhooth.]

'Fuckkkk!!!!'

[They are waiting for your answer-!!!]

Veer ne dono ko dekha. Dono aas liye use hi dekh rahe the. Aur, dono ki aankhein uss se apeksha kar rahi thi ki woh unki side le.

'Fucking hell-!!! Ye kaha fass gaya mein-!??'

[Hahahahahaha!!!]

Veer ab ek vipda me tha. Aisi sthiti me jaha agar usne kisi galat ka saath galti se de diya toh kahi aisa na ho ki baad me woh zindagi bhar pachtaata rahe.

5 minute tak kamre me shaanti chhaayi rahi. Veer apne vichaaro me leen tha. Kuch sochne ke baad usne nirnay liya. Aur, gehri saans lete hue unn dono ko dekh bola.

Veer : Maine soch liya hai.

Renshu : !!?

Garofano : ???

Veer : Renshu! Garofano Jail se bhaag ke aayi hai. Zaahir hai police uske peeche padi hogi. Mein chaahta hu ki jab tak ye gutthi sulajh nahi jaati, tab tak Garofano yahi sahi salamat rahe. Aur, iss baat ki khabar yaha se baahar na jaane paaye.

Renshu : Whaaaatttt!??

Pal bhar ke liye Garofano ki aankhon me ek chamak dikhi. Uski nazre Veer par hi tiki hui thi. Woh uske chehre me khoyi hui thi.

Veer : Hmm! Sirf ek dusre ke keh dene se ye case solve nahi hone waala. Tum apni orr se dekh rahe ho. Aur, Garofano apni orr se. Mujhe lagta hai kuch missing hai yaha. Mine waala maamla kitni derr tak roka jaa sakta hai?

Renshu : Zyada se zyada 3 din. Kyuki, agar maine koi strategy nahi banayi toh government ki orr se firse koi na koi official aa hi jayega yaha dekhne ke liye ki kuch shuru hua bhi ya nahi. Aur, fir Jaw Long bhi attack kar sakta hai.

Veer : I see! Then, give me 3 days. 3 din ke andar andar... Mein iss gutthi ko suljha dunga.

Renshu : Huh!!!?

Erica : What?? What are you? Sherlock Holmes?? Tumhe pata bhi hai ki chal kya raha hai? H-How can you-

Iss se pehle ki Erica aur kuch Veer ko suna paati, Renshu ne apna haath dikha ke use wahi rok diya. Ek baar fir woh apne Dad ke Veer ke prati iss namr ravaiyye se hairat me reh gayi. Na chaahte hue bhi use khud ko rokna pada. Par, bechari Erica Veer ke intelligence se parichit nahi thi.

Veer ki nazre unfocused thi. Uska dimaag ab alag dhang se kaam kar raha tha. Ab uss Veer ke baahar aane ka samay tha jis Veer ne House of the Killers ki gutthi suljhayi thi.

Veer : Mein ye bhi chaahta hu ki tum meri madad karo Renshu. I will handle this case from now on. Aur, sach ko saamne laa ke rakhunga.

Renshu kuch shan tak Veer ko dekhta raha. Woh use parakh raha tha. Veer ki aankhein sab kuch bayaan kar rahi thi ki woh kitna serious tha iss matter ko leke.

Veer : Mine waale matter ko filhaal ke liye hold par rakhna hoga. Iss gutthi ko pehle suljhaana zaroori hai. Aur, Garofano-!!!

Garofano : H-Huh!?

Veer : Agar tum nirdosh saabit hoti ho. Toh mein chaahta hu ki tum mine waale matter me hamari madad karo-!!

Garofano : What!!?? Ye jaante hue bhi ki isi ne mujhe fasaaya hai, mein baad me iski madad bhi karu-!?

Veer : Please-!!!

Iss baar Garofano ne jaise hi Veer ki aankhon ko padha. Uska virodh apne aap samaapt ho gaya.

Garofano : F-Fine-! J-Just for your sake.

Veer (smiles) : That settles it. Then, mujhe kuch samay chahiye Garofano se baat karne ke liye. Garofano! Come with me-!!!

Garofano (nods) : Umm!

Erica : What? Hey Mister!!! Ye tumhara park nahi hai okay? This is my home!! Aur, tum yaha pe bina permission ke khud se charge nahi le sakte. You hear me? I-

Par, ek baar firse Renshu ne use haath dikha ke beech me hi rok diya.

Erica : D-Dad-!??

Renshu : Veer jo bhi madad maangta hai, use wo dena.

Erica : B-But-!

Renshu : No questions!!

Erica (sarr jhukaate hue) : Y-Yes!!

Idhar Veer aur Garofano kamre ke baahar nikal hi rahe the jab peeche se Erica ne awaaz lagaayi,

Erica : Waitttt-!!

Uske rokne par dono Veer aur Garofano palat ke use dekhe.

Erica : Our men-!! Tumne unke saath kya kiya? Jab tumne hamla kiya tab hamara ek bhi aadmi shor sunn ke yaha nahi aaya. What did you do to them??




Garofano : Hmph~!! They are fine! Bas, behosh hai. Go and have a look if you don't believe me.

Erica (mutters) : You will regret this bitch-!!

*Whoooshhhh*

Erica ek jhatke me waha se gaayab hui, aur baahar ki orr nikal gayi.



Jagah jagah Renshu ke saare aadmi behoshi ki haalat me dale hue the.

Usne railing ke paas khade hote hue neeche aangan me nazre daudayi. Sab ke sab behosh the. Koi bhi ghayal nahi tha.




'You will regret this-!! Dad ki insult-!! I will see you later Garofano!!'

Idhar, Veer aur Garofano punah baahar ki orr apna rukh karte ki peeche se iss baar Renshu ne unhe rok diya.

Renshu : Veer!!!

Veer (turns) : Hmm?

Renshu ne apne jaanvar ki khaal se bani uss odhni ko khola aur usme se ek kaagaz nikaalte hue Veer ki orr kiya,

Renshu : Ye Mr. Nicholson ki autopsy ki report ki ek photocopy hai. Have it!!! You'll need it.

Veer ne uske paas aate hue uske haath se woh kaagaz ka tukda le liya. Aur, Garofano ke sang wo uss kamre se baahar nikal gaya.

***

Baahar courtyard me aate hi Veer ne apne bagal se chal rahi Garofano ko dekha aur bola,

Veer : You are messed up!




Usne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha. Garofano jab se police dwara jail me le jaayi gayi thi tab se hi usne apna chehra tak nahi dhoya tha. Zaahir hai woh abhi apne sabse uttam roop me nahi thi.

Garofano : I know!!!



Par, Veer ki maujoodgi me woh kaafi hadd tak khud ko mehfooz mehsoos kar rahi thi.

Veer use ek dusre kamre ki orr laaya aur bathroom ki orr ishaara kiya. Garofano bina kuch kahe andar washroom me chali gayi. Veer tab tak wahi kamre me baahar baitha raha.

Jab tak woh aa rahi thi, tab tak Veer ne ek nazar uss autopsy ki report par dauda li.

Kareeb 15 minute baad Garofano washroom se nikal ke baahar aayi. Pehle se kahi zyaada behtar nazar aa rahi thi ab woh.



Veer : Better?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Woh aake wahi neeche bicche ek cushion par baith gayi.

Veer : So? Miss Garofano!?

Garofano : Garofano nahi Veer!! Please, just call me by my real name from now on. It’s ~ Violet!! Violet Nicholson!

Veer : Violet?

Garofano : Hmm! *smiles weakly* We have the same initials. Don’t we? V for Veer! V for Violet!

Uska ravaiyya Renshu ke prati ekdum alag tha aur Veer ke prati ekdum hi alag. Zameen asmaan ka antar tha dono ravaiyye me. Jaha Renshu ke prati uske andar se ghrina saaf saaf nikal rahi thi, toh wahi Veer ke saath hone par woh khud ko shaant mehsoos kar rahi thi. Veer ke prati uske andar thodi hayaa bhi thi aur thodi jigyaasa bhi.

Veer ne apne bagal se baithi uss sundar naari ko dekha. Woh jaanta tha ki iss waqt Garofano urf Violet apne dukh ko chhipaane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par wo isme nakaam thi. Uska dukh saaf saaf uske chehre par jhalak raha tha.

Veer : Alright then! Miss Violet! Talk!!!

Garofano : Ask me Veer. Tum jo jo puchoge mein sab ka jawaab dene ke liye taiyaar hu.

Veer : Hmm! Toh theek hai! Case shuru karte hai.

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Veer ne Renshu ki saari kahi gayi baat par zorr daala. Aur, seedhe hi woh prashn par aa gaya.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson ki rehesyamayi maut ke baad, unki will me yahi likha hua paaya gaya tha ki unki saari sampatti unki beti ko samarpit ki jaati hai. Right?

Garofano : Woh-

Veer : Par! Par! Par! Li Renshu ne tum pe ye ilzaam lagaya hai ki tumne paiso ki laalach me aake ye qadam uthaaya tha aur apne hi pita ko maut ke ghaat utaar diya. Taaki will me likhi gayi sampatti tumhe mil sake.

Garofano : N-Nahi-!

Veer : Lekin, ye baat yahi khatam nahi hoti. Hospital dwara Mr. Nicholson ki body ki autopsy bhi kari gayi thi. Aur post-mortem ke anusaar ek agyaat puncture ka ghaav unke ek chhipe hue ang par paaya gaya tha. Baad me pata chala ki ek behad hi jaanleva aur slow poison waha par inject kiya gaya tha. Report padhi abhi abhi maine jo Renshu ne mujhe di hai.

Garofano (panics) : Y-Ye jhooth hai!!! Tum jaante ho ki woh sui meri nahi thi Veer. Woh needle toh Renshu-

Veer : Li Renshu ne na sirf itna kuch pata lagaya balki report ye bhi kehti hai ki woh sui tumhari hi hai. Usi sui se woh ghaav banaya gaya tha isme koi shaq nahi. Aur, toh aur woh zeher bhi tumhari sui par laga hua paaya gaya jo Mr. Nicholson ki body se mila tha. Aur uske baad-

Garofano : Uske baad yahi sab hua.

Ek udaasi bhari muskaan uske hontho par aayi.

Garofano : Kaafi kuch tumne andaaza laga liya kuch hi palo me Veer! Lekin, ye sab- poori sachhayi nahi hai!! Mein tumhe andar pehle hi bata chuki hu.

Veer : !??

Garofano : Maine Mr. Nicholson ki hatya nahi ki hai. Wh-Why would I?

Uski awaaz me thar-tharahat thi. Lekin, uss thar-tharahat me ek dridhta bhi thi. Jaise woh nishchit thi ki sach kya hai aur jhooth kya.

Garofano : Li Renshu! Use jab se pata chala hai ki mein ek system owner hu tab se hi woh mujhe apni nigrani me rakhe hue hai. Aur, chuki mein system owner hu, isliye use ye aur bhi lag raha hai ki mein kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Maine hi qatl kiya hai. Yahi uska daawa hai. Ek baar bhi kisi ne mujhe apni begunahi saabit karne ka mauka nahi diya.

Veer : Hmm! Dekha maine sab kuch! Ek jhatke me woh decision le chuka tha. Koi chhaan-been kari hi nahi gayi. Mein ye bhi jaanta hu ki isme sirf Li Renshu aur Erica involved nahi hai.

Garofano (eyes widens) : Y-You mean!?

Veer : Yeah! Koi aur third person bhi involved hai. Li Renshu ko kisi ne influence kiya hai. Satark rehne ke chakkar me woh itna paranoid ho chuka hai ki usne kisi teesre vyakti ki baat ka itna bharosa kar liya. Aisa laga, jaise kisi bacche ko khilauna pakda ke use raazi kiya gaya ho.

Garofano : Th-That’s-

Garofano sarr jhukaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gayi. Magar, Veer ki nazre uski harr ek harqato par tani hui thi. Woh harr thode bol ke baad khud ko aise dikhaata jaise woh Renshu ki taraf hai, par fir aur kuch bolne ke baad aise jataata jaise Renshu galat hai.

Veer Garofano ki galti pakadne ka jaal biccha raha tha. Ye ek aisa maamla tha jaha koi bhi sahi ya galat ho sakta tha. Kya pata kaho Li Renshu sahi keh raha ho? Uske bagal se baithi ye sundar naari kaho khoon ki pyaasi ek hatyaari hi ho? Ye sab khaali uska dhong ho?

Ya fir ye bhi ho sakta tha ki Li Renshu hi galat tha? Woh koi chaal chal raha ho peeth peeche? Sabse zyada chakravyuh me Renshu ya Garofano nahi, balki Veer khud hi fasa hua tha. Use harr ek se sunishchit karna tha ki kaun saathi hai aur kaun dushman.

Woh ek prakaar se iss waqt ek double agent ke roop me kaam kar raha tha. Ek taraf use ye dikhana tha ki woh Garofano ki taraf hai toh wahi dusri orr ye ki woh Renshu ke saath hai. Aaj Las Vegas waale high IQ detective Veer ka imtihaan tha.

Veer : Mujhe nahi lagta ki system owner bas hone se turant hi kisi par bhi ilzaam laga dena chahiye.

Ye sunte hi Garofano thoda hairat me uski orr dekhi,

Garofano : Mujhe laga tha tum bhi baaki sab ki tarah mujhe ye gunaah qubool karne ke liye majboor karoge Veer!

Veer : Insaan kitni hi koshish kyu na kar le. Sach ko kabhi bhi chhipaaya nahi jaa sakta. I neither believe you nor disbelieve you. Mera bas itna maan’na hai ki saari baato ko jaan’ne ke baad hi decision liya jaa sakta hai. Toh mein chaahunga ki pehle tumhari kahani ko suna jaaye, taaki mein apni raay rakh saku.

Garofano ne haami bhari, aur bolna shuru ki-

Garofano : Theek hai, Veer! Mein tumhe sab kuch sach sach batati hu.

Veer : Hmm!

Ek gehri saans lete hue Garofano ne apni dastaan bayaan karna shuru kiya,

Garofano : Asliyat me, Mr. Nicholson aur mein... hum dono asli baap-beti hai hi nahi.

Veer : Huh!?

Garofano : I mean ye jo bhi rishta tha hamare beech, woh ek unofficial rishta tha. Na hi khoon ka rishta tha hamare beech aur na hi kisi paper par hamara rishta darj kiya gaya tha.

Kehte hue usne apne baal ki ek latt ko apne kaan ke peeche kiya. Woh apni yaadon ke talaab me aur gehraayi me gayi,

Garofano : Veer! Mr. Nicholson junoon se bharpoor insaan the. Woh charity aur trust me aksar khoob daan kiya karte the. Gareebo ki bahut madad kiya karte the hamesha. Aur mein unhi gareebo ki ek basti se ek aam ladki ki tarah hi thi, jiski madad unhone ki thi mujhe beti ke roop me apna ke.

Veer : Tumhara parivaar?

Garofano : Woh toh bachpan me hi guzar gaye the. Mein bas ek anaath bach gayi thi. Mushqil se hi zinda thi. Lekin, jaise tese bach gayi. Shayad mujhe bhi chale jaana tha iss duniya se tabhi. Hai na? *smiles weakly*

Veer : Parivaar kaise khatam hua? Kya tum share kar sakti ho?

Garofano : Ryongchon disaster!!

Usne bas yahi do shabd kahe. Aur, idhar Pari ne bina Veer ke bole hi turant hi uske mann me saari jankaari prastut kar di.

Ryongchon disaster!! 22 April 2004. Ek aisa train accident jo North Korea ke town Ryongchon me ghatit hua tha. Flammable cargo blast ho chuka tha. Saral shabdo me, woh padaarth jo jwalansheel tha, woh aag pakad chuka tha jiske chalte ek bhayanak visfot ne janm liya tha. Aur, train ke kayi saare dabbo ke chithde udd chuke the.

Zaahir hai Garofano ke maata-pita usi train me tab safar kar rahe the. Aur, aneko logo ke saath saath woh bhi apni jaan gawa baithe. Apne parivar me bas wahi ek thi jo kismat se bach gayi thi. Garofano ne ek gehri saans chorri aur bolna jaari rakha,

Garofano : Aur uss haadse ke baad mein poori tarah se anaath ho chuki thi.

Veer : Tum North Korea se South Korea jaa rahi thi?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm! Aur aa bhi gayi thi.

Veer : So, you are not completely Korean, right?

Garofano : Yes! Mein half-Korean and half white hu.

Veer : I’m sorry! Shayad mere kaaran tumhari puraani taqleef bhari yaadein taaza ho gayi.

Veer ne ahista se apni breast pocket se apna rumaal nikaalte hue uski orr kiya. Garofano ne halke se muskuraate hue uske haath se rumaal thaama aur boli,

Garofano : Isme tumhe sorry kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi Veer! Yahi woh time tha jab mein Mr. Nicholson se mili. Jab maine jeene ki icchha chorr di thi, saari umeedein chorr di thi. Tab, woh meri zindagi me farishta bann ke aaye.

Veer : Ohh!

Garofano : Unhone mujhe apni beti ki tarah paala. Aur jab mein badi hui, tab unhone hi Garofano cosmetics mujhe khol ke di thi. Mujhe jaise jeene ke liye ek naya raasta mil gaya tha.

Veer : I see!

Garofano : Mein hamesha se unka naam raushan karna chahti thi. Mein chaahti thi ki jitna unhone mujhe diya hai, mein uska kayi guna unhe lauta saku.

Veer : Aur isliye tumne system ka istemal kiya taaki Garofano cosmetics aur bhi ucchaayi par pahuch sake?

Garofano (nods) : That’s right!

Veer : Tumhe system kab mila?

Garofano : Haha!

Woh halke se muskurayi aur thahaaka lagaate hue Veer ko dekhi,

Garofano : Kya tum sach me jaan’na chaahte ho?

Veer (nods) : Yeah!

Garofano : Okay! Hassna mana hai, theek hai na? Mujhe system tab mila tha jab mein bar me nashe me dhutt hoke besudh si padi hui thi.

Veer : What?

Garofano (shyly) : I-It’s the truth! And, aisa karna bilkul bhi safe nahi tha I know. Mein drunk thi. Jiski wajah se, kuch ladke mera faayda uthaana chaahte the. Aur woh qamyaab ho bhi jaate. Agar, tab mere dimaag me wo awaaz nahi aati. Ding!! System has been activated. Haha!

Woh harr prayaas kar rahi thi ki inn chulbuli baato se wo apne dukh ko chhipa sake. Kintu, Veer ko sab kuch nazar aa raha tha.

Veer : I see! Back to the topic again.

Garofano : Ohh! Right! Sorry~

Veer : You can continue!

Garofano : Hmm! Jab se unhone mujhe apni beti maana tha tab se hi hum ek saath raha karte the. Ek dusre ka dhyaan rakhna, parvah karna. Laga tha jaise zindagi hamesha hi aise shaant, araamdayak aur dil-khush rahegi par-

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

Garofano : S-Sorry! Woh bas-

Veer : That’s okay! You can take your time. Parivar ko khona bahut hi peeda-dayak hota hai. Mein samajh sakta hu.

Kahi na kahi Veer ko Golu ki yaad aa gayi. Woh parivaar nahi tha uska. Lekin, uska sabse pehla dost zaroor tha.

Garofano : Toh fir tum ye bhi acche se samajhte hoge Veer… ki ek baar apne parivaar ko khone ke baad, mein dobaara apne kisi qareebi ko kaise khone de sakti hu?

Veer : …

Garofano : Hamara rishta bahut accha tha. Unhe maarne ka mein apne sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti. Mein khud apni jaan de dungi lekin unke saath aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi. Loneliness! Kaisi hoti hai ye mein jaanti hu. Mein dobaara kisi apne ko kyu khona chaahungi bhala?

Iss baar woh thitur uthi aur khud ko rok na paayi. Uske gaalo se aasu nirantar behne lage. Veer ne punah apna rumaal use thamaya.

Garofano : Th-Thank you!

Rumaal thamaate waqt Veer ki ungliyaan Garofano ki ungliyo se sparsh hui. Use mehsoos hua ki woh ekdum thandi ho rakhi thi. Kuch shan baad Garofano ne khud ko sambhaala aur sarr upar kar Veer ko gambheerta se dekhi.

Garofano : Mein jaanti hu… ki saboot mere khilaaf hai. Harr koi yahi samajh raha hai ki mein hatyaari hu. Lekin-

Veer : …

Garofano : Mein kabhi bhi apne parivaar ko nuksaan nahi pahucha sakti Veer!

Veer uske aseem dukh ko mehsoos kar paa raha tha. Uss dukh ke peeche dradh sankalp bhi tha. Veer nahi chaahta tha ki koi bhi apne parivaar se itna pyaar karne wala vyakti jhooth bole.

Veer : Well! Agar dekha jaaye toh tumhare khilaaf hi saare saboot ikhatta hue hai.

Garofano : Mmm! Mein jaanti hu!

Veer : Then?

Garofano : Veer! Agar tumhe waqai lagta hai ki mein Mr. Nicholson ke paise aur unki property ke peeche thi…! Mein batana chaahti hu tumhe ki mere aur unke beech pehle hi iss baat ko leke samjhauta ho chuka tha. Maine unse keh ke rakha tha ki mein unki koi bhi dhan daulat ka hissa nahi banungi.

Veer : …

Garofano : Aur wese bhi, agar mujhe diya bhi jaata hai toh bhi mein uski haqdar nahi hu. Wo property sahi maayno me unke chhote bhai ko milni chahiye.

Veer : Par ye sab unki will me-

Garofano : Rahi baat unki will ki- Toh mujhe ye sab unke iss duniya se jaane ke baad hi pata chala ki unhone mere liye koi will bhi banayi hui hai.

Wait!! Mr. Nicholson ka chhota bhai? Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Renshu ne toh aisa kuch bhi mention nahi kiya tha. Agar Mr. Nicholson ka sach me koi bhai hota toh Renshu ye baat beshaq uske saamne rakhta.

Ek baar fir Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Kaun jhooth keh raha tha? Kya Renshu ne theek se jaanch nahi kari thi? Ya Garofano jhooth keh rahi thi?

‘Damn it!!!’

[Hahahaha! What do you think, Mister Detective? Kaun sach keh raha hai? Aur kaun jhooth? If you solve this case, then I'll admire you. Just for this time I'm making an exception. Fufu~]

Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, filhaal ek mauka Garofano ko diya. Shayad Renshu ne theek se chhaan been nahi ki thi. Mr. Nicholson ka ek bhai bhi tha? Bhala iss baat ka zikr usne kyu nahi kiya? Ab use zaroorat thi ek raasta khojne ki taaki woh iss gutthi ko jald se jald suljha sake.

Veer ko iss tarah shaant dekh Garofano ka sarr neeche jhuk gaya aur woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Shayad ye gutthi ab sulajh nahi sakti. Hai na? *smiles* Aur ab dheere dheere meri umeedein bhi kam hoti jaa rahi hai Veer. Akele kis se ladti rahungi? Mein kisi ko maar to nahi sakti na?

Veer : That’s-

Garofano : Jab tak meri koi bas baat sunn le, mere liye bas wahi bahut hai. Mein usme hi khush hu. Mujhe koi safaayi nahi deni apne baare me. Mein dekhti hu mein kya kar sakti hu-! Then-

Veer : No! Mein iss gutthi ko suljha sakta hu. Iss poori problem ki jadd hai lack of evidence. Poora case hi uljha hua hai. Mein tum par apna trust rakh raha hu. Mein bhi dekhna chahta hu akhir kitna pyaar tha tumhe apne parivar se.

Iss baar Garofano use aashcharya me dekhi.

Garofano : T-Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhe yakeen hai ki mein nirdosh hu?

Veer : Maine aisa kuch nahi kaha. Mera kehna bas ye hai ki mein iss gutthi ko suljha ke rahunga aur asal me kya hua tha woh sab ke saamne launga.

Garofano : ….

Veer : Mein jaanta hu ki Renshu system owners ki taraf biased rehta hai. Koi bhi rahega. Unhe naap taul ke parakhta hai woh. Kyuki, agar koi khatra bann sakte hai toh woh system owners hi hai. Na ki aam insaan. Lekin-

Garofano (stares) : ???

Veer : Lekin, iss tarah se hum kisi nateeje par nahi aa sakte aur na hi bina tehqiqaat ke koi faisla suna sakte hai. Sach ko nazar-andaaz karna galat hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Isliye- Mein koshish karunga ki iss poori riddle ko solve karu aur tumhara naam sab ke saamne clear ho jaaye ki tumne Mr. Nicholson ko nahi maara hai. Yahi ek raasta hai jis se tumhe nirdosh saabit kiya jaa sakta hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Magar, uske pehle- Mein bhi chaahunga ki tum bhi mujhpe trust karo.

Garofano wahi jamm ke reh gayi. Lag raha tha jaise woh poori tarah se stabdh thi Veer ki baat sunane ke baad. Kuch shan baad, woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Veer-!!

Veer : Hmm?

Garofano (smiles) : Tum mujhe kisi ki yaad dilaate ho.

Ek bhaavuk, udaseen bhaav uske chehre par terr gaya. Veer ko turant hi kisi cheez ka ehsaas hua.

Veer : Koi family member?

Garofano ne haule se sarr naa me hilaaya aur boli,

Garofano : Nahi! Ek bachpan ka dost.

Veer : Ohh! Toh? Ab kaha hai woh-

Garofano : He’s no more!

Veer : ….

Garofano (smiles) : You remind me of him. Woh bilkul tumhari tarah tha. Dayaalu aur insaaf dhoondhne waala…! Such a pity…!

Veer : Kya hua tha?

Garofano : Huntington’s disease.

Garofano ke muh se nikalte hi Pari ne Veer ke saamne ek baar fir jankaari prastut kar di.

[Huntington’s disease. Ek aisa disorder hai jisme dimaag ke nerve cells yaani ki neurons toot ke bikhar jaate hai aur samay ke saath marr jaate hai. Iss beemari ka koi cure nahi hai.]

Padhte hi Veer ka mann bhi niraash ho utha.

Garofano : Mein khushkismat hu jo meri mulaqat tumse hui. Insaaf dhoondhne waale se…! *smiles* Mein sach me abhaari hu ki tum mere liye ye kar rahe ho. Pehli baar tumse milte hi samajh gayi thi mein.

Veer : Tum hum system owners me se ek ho. Aur, ye kahi na kahi hum sabki zimmedari hai ki sach ko khoja jaaye uske baad hi koi nirnay liya jaaye.

Garofano : Zimmedari unn sabne toh nahi li na Veer? Fir tumne kyu-?

Veer : I don’t know! I just feel like it. Tumhe abhaar vyakt karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Garofano bas dheere se ek haami bhari.

Garofano (smiles) : Hmm! I’ll wait then!

Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Akhir sach kaun keh raha tha? Kya Renshu jhooth keh raha tha? Magar, usne na sirf itni kuch baatein use batayi balki apni khud ki beti Erica ki bhi skill uske saamne khule aam bata di thi.

Advanced observation!!!

Isi skill ki madad se Erica ne uss phone call ke baare me Renshu ko bataya tha. Veer nahi jaanta tha ki ye advanced observation kaise kaam karta tha, par woh baad me Pari se iske baare me puch sakta tha. Zaroor Pari kuch na kuch iske baare me jaanti hi hogi. Agar woh skill shop se li gayi hogi, toh Pari ko beshaq iske baare me kuch na kuch andaaza zaroor hoga.

Agar, Renshu satark rehna chaahta aur use gumraah karna chaahta toh woh itna asaani se Erica ki skill kyu bataata?

Par, yahi baat Garofano ke liye bhi kahi jaa sakti thi. Pehli mulaqaat me hi usne 'Dead Silence' ka prayog kar ke Veer ko apni skill ka andaaza de diya tha.

Yaha tak ki usne apni sui banaane waali aur poison banaane waali skills ke baare me bhi koi virodh nahi kiya.

Akhir, chal kya raha tha!!?

Woh dono kuch aur baatein karte ki tabhi baahar se ek shor unhe sunayi diya.

*Honk* *Honk*

Kisi gaadi ke horn ki awaaz si maalum pad rahi thi. Raat me 10:30 ho rahe the. Iss waqt bhala kaun ho sakta tha?

Awaaz sunte hi Veer turant hi apni jagah se uth khada hua aur baahar ki orr chal diya. Woh akela nahi tha. Garofano bhi uske peeche peeche aa rahi thi. Kintu, woh savdhaan thi.

Use dhoondhte hue police bhi aa sakti thi. Isliye, seedhe seedhe woh baahar nahi jaa sakti thi.

Andar se Renshu samet Erica bhi baahar aa chuke the. Renshu ke aadmi abhi tak hosh me nahi aaye the, isliye baahar guard karne ke liye bhi koi nahi tha. Garofano sab ko behosh kar ke andar aayi thi.

[Garofano ke paas koi skill ya kuch aur zaroor hai jis se logo ko sleep ya unconscious state me daala jaa sakta hai.]

Pari ne Veer ko sachet kiya.

'Yeah!'

[This is your golden opportunity. Jab tak woh yaha hai, tumhe uske system ke baare me jitna ho sake utna pata karna hoga. Even Renshu aur Erica ke baare me bhi. We don't know who might turn their back against us.]

'I know!!!'

[Good!]

Erica ne jaise hi main entrance ka woh bada sa darwaza khola, saamne ek car khadi hui thi.

Aur, jaise hi car ka darwaza khula, usme se ek khubsoorat aurat baahar nikal ke aayi.




Saamne khade logo ko dekh, jaise hi uski nazar Veer pe padi, na sirf woh khud chaunki balki Veer bhi utna hi chakit reh gaya.

Divya : V-Veer!!???

Veer : Divya???

Mega Update

[Note : Update itminaan se sambhal ke aur araam se padhna. Warna confusion hoga.]

Update - 171 ~ Who's lying? (1)​

Ab tak...

Ek chammach udte hue uss sui ki doguni raftaar se aage aayi aur seedhe sui se takra gayi. Sui aur chammach aapas ki matbhed me ghoomte hue idhar udhar jaa gire.

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Iss se pehle ki Garofano aur Renshu punah ek dusre ke upar focused ho paate-

*Whooooosssshhhh*

Ek haath ne unn dono ke haath ko baari baari mazboot jakad me thaam liya. Aur, koi unn dono ke beech aa gaya.

“Tum me se ab kisi aur ne fir haath uthaaya…! Toh accha nahi hoga.”

Ab aage...

Khamoshi!

Kamre ke andar 4 system holders maujood the magar uske bawajood waha sannaata fela hua tha. Erica ekdum stabdh, ankhein chaudi aur muh khole wahi murti ki tarah jami hui khadi thi.

Sab kuch palak jhapakte hue tha. Garofano ka iss tarah hamla karna ek hairaani waali baat toh thi hi par uss se bhi zyada hairaangi use Veer ko unn dono ke beech khade unn dono ko thaame hue dekh ke hui thi.

Idhar Garofano Veer ko pehli nazar me dekh ke chaunki thi. Akhir Veer yaha kya kar raha tha? Magar, use turant hi agle pal ye dhyaan aa gaya ki Casa Belle me usne uss raat Veer ke sang baat ki thi. Zaahir hai Veer yaha uss card ki wajah se aaya tha.

Card toh use bhi praapt hua tha. Par, aaj wo yaha madad karne ke liye nahi aayi thi. Uske iraade toh kuch aur hi the.

Uski aankhon par hare rang ki parat chadhi hui thi. Aur, andhere me wo aankhein aisi prateet ho rahi thi jaise maano ek saanp jhaadiyo me chhipe apne shikaar ko ghoor raha ho.

Woh Veer ko dekhi aur utne hi gusse me boli,

Garofano : Veeeeer!!! Beech me se hatt jao. Ye mere aur Renshu ke beech ka maamla hai. Tumhara isme koi role nahi hai. Get lost!!!

Veer : Role ho chaahe na ho. Now that I'm here...! I won't let you guys fight each other.

Garofano (frowns) : Tch!!! Veeeerr!!!

Iss baar Veer ki aankhein gusse me Garofano ke upar padi.

Veer : STAY PUT!!!

Aur jaise Intimidating Presence ne apna kaam kar diya. Veer ki aankhon ko dekh ek sihran Garofano ki poore badan me fel gayi. Aisa ehsaas hua ki agar usne Veer ki baat nahi maani toh zaroor kuch galat ghatit ho jayega.

Uski pakad apne aap dheeli ho gayi. Woh neeche ki orr dekhi. Apne iraado ko wo badal chuki thi. Haar maante hue usne khud ko dheela chorr diya. Aur, idhar Veer ne use aisa karte dekh uski kalaayi bhi chorr di.

Magar, uss par se dhyaan nahi hataaya. Woh dekh raha tha ki kahi Garofano fir se hamla toh nahi karegi. Par, Garofano ki aankhon se hare rang ki parat bhi ab chhat chuki thi.

Garofano : H-He-!! He was the one-!!!

Veer ne idhar Renshu ki kalaayi bhi chorr di. Woh Garofano ki orr muda. Haath choothate hi Renshu ne apne sarr ke temple par se paseene ki boond ko alag kiya. Use kuch anubhooti hui. Ye ladka...! Veer...!

Apni kalaayi ko usne dekha. 4 ungliyo ke nishaan uski kalaayi par chhaap chorr gaye the. Nishaan aisa ki uske utne hisse ki twacha andar dabb chuki thi.

Apni daadhi ko malte hue woh Veer ko gaur se dekhne laga. Toh wahi idhar Garofano ka virodh ekdum hi khatam ho chuka tha.

Garofano : S-Sirf tumhare liye Veer-!! M-Mein khud ko shaant kar rahi hu. Warna mein-

Erica : Warna mein? Warna mein kya? Ye tumhara playground nahi hai madam ki jab chaaha tab chali aayi aur-

Garofano ki nigaahein agle hi shan Erica par padi. Aankhein punaah chatak hari ho chuki thi. Aur, bolte bolte Erica beech me hi rukk gayi. Maathe par ghabrahat ki lakeere chhaa gayi. Gale me atka thook nigalte hue woh aage kuch na bol saki. Aur, Garofano dobara se wapas normal ho gayi.

Woh ahista ahista chalte hue deewaar ke paas gayi. Aur, jin sui ko usne feka tha unhe deewar me se baari baari nikaalne lagi. Saari sui deewar me dhass chuki thi.

Veer : Koi kuch batayega ki ye sab chal kya raha hai? Garofano? Renshu?

Veer ke prashn par Garofano turant palti. Uski aankhon me firse krodh tha.

Garofano : Tum apne iss pyaare dost se kyu nahi puchte Veer?

Uska ishara Renshu ki orr tha.

Garofano : Pucho iss se ki isne kya kiya hai. T-Tumhe pata hai mein abhi kaha se aa rahi hu?

Veer : Huh?

Garofano : Jail se!!!

Veer : What???

Garofano : That's right! Jail se bhaag ke aa rahi hu.

Veer : Tum jail me kya kar rahi thi?

Garofano : Pucho iss se. Ye batayega tumhe!

Veer ne jaise hi Renshu ki orr dekha toh Renshu sakhti me unn sab ko hi ghoor raha tha.

Renshu : Iski bakwas baato me aane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Ye Jail gayi thi kyuki isne murder kiya hai. Aur, lagta hai hume ise pakad ke wapas police ko saupna padega.

Woh aage do qadam jaise hi badhaaya, Garofano ke haatho me punah ek lambi sui aa gayi. Hamle ke liye taiyaar,

Garofano (glares) : Then try me you fucker...!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Veer (shouts) : SHUT UP!!!!

*Silence*

Ek baar fir khamoshi chha gayi. Veer ne ek gehri lambi saans li.

Veer : Koi bhi nahi ladega. Renshu!!! I want to hear your side first.

Renshu : Isme bataane waala kuch nahi Veer. Sach tumhare saamne hai. Mr. Nicholson ki abhi haal hi me hatya hui hai.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson!? Jab mein yaha aa raha tha tab maine radio me iss news ke baare me suna tha.

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Toh mujhe aur vistaar se samjhaane do Veer. Mr. Nicholson darasal Korea ke ek bahut bade business man the. Unka aana jaana China me laga rehta tha kyuki unka jitna business waha hai, utna hi yaha bhi.

Veer : I see!

Renshu : Lekin 3 din pehle hi unki laash paayi gayi thi. Aur isme koi shaq nahi ki unhe kisne maara hai. Autopsy ki report par pata chala ki maut ko sunishchit karne ke liye ek poison inject kiya gaya tha. Aur, aisa poison kisi ne kabhi nahi dekha hai. Ye naye kism ka poison tha.

Veer : Naye kism ka!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aisa poison jo ek system owner hi bana sakta hai.

Kehte hue Renshu ki nazre Garofano par gayi. Aur, Garofano use iss tarah apni orr ghoorte paa kar dekh gusse me gurraayi.

Garofano (glares) : Tsk!!

Renshu : Aur, ab asli sach suno Veer. Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita the. Isne apne hi pita ko maara hai.

Garofano (screams) : Ye jhooth hai-!!!

Renshu (shouts) : Yahi sach hai!!!

Veer : !!??

Renshu : Veer!! Ye ladki kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakti hai. Tum wo sui dekh rahe ho? Uske haatho me?? Zara dhyaan se dekho unhe. Unki nok ko...!

Renshu ki baat par Veer ne apni nazre daudayi aur Garofano ke haatho me maujood unn sui ki nok ko usne dekha.

*Tip*

'Huh!!??'

Aur use abhaas hua. Sui par se geele padaarth ki ek boond fisalte hue neeche zameen par giri.

Poison!!!

Renshu : Dekha na Veer? Yahi wo poison hai. Iss zeher ki vidhi sirf iss ladki ke paas hai. Yahi zeher Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!?

Renshu : Mujhe aur samjhaane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai. Jo zeher sirf ye ladki bana sakti hai, wahi zeher agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya hai toh iska kya matlab hua? Kya tumhe ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha? Ya fir ye kahe ki ek system owner ko kisi ne murkh bana diya?

Garofano (growls) : You liar-!!!!

Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Renshu saaf saaf uske saamne sab kuch rakh raha tha. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki autopsy ki report jo Renshu ne batayi thi, agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me Garofano ka poison paaya gaya tha aur saath hi wahi poison wo apni sui par laga ke chalti thi. Toh 90% chances the ki hatya Garofano ne hi ki thi. Lekin, batayi gayi report jhoothi bhi toh ho sakti thi. Renshu jhooth bhi toh bol sakta tha.

Veer aankhein moond ke kisi bhi faisle par nahi utarna chaahta tha. Ek pal ke liye uske badan me ek sihran daud gayi. Garofano ke baare me use nayi jankari praapt hui thi.

Woh ek naye kism ka zeher bhi bana sakti thi? Sui par uss zeher ko lagana aur unse vaar karna. Ye ek alag kism ka ladne ka tareeka tha. Jitna ye alag tha utna hi jaanleva bhi. Use yaad aaya ki kuch derr pehle wahi hamla uske upar hua tha. Kismat acchi thi jo woh sui uske shareer me nahi jaa paayi. Warna-

[She's interesting.]

Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi. Woh bhi Garofano ko parakh rahi thi.

Veer : Tumhe ye sab kaise pata chala Renshu? Autopsy ki report bhala tumhare haath kaise lagi? Aur, tum ye kaise keh sakte ho ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai? Kya tum koi reason de sakte ho ki Garofano ne apne hi pita ko kyu maara?

Veer ne aise sawaal rakhe jinse kaafi kuch haath lag sakta tha. Ab dekhna ye tha ki Renshu kya jankari deta hai.

Renshu (sighs) : Veer! Autopsy ki report ke baare me jaanana koi badi baat nahi hai. Tum bhi ek system owner ho. Maine Erica ko bheja tha report haasil karne ke liye. Ye pata lagaane ke liye ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me wo zeher kis prakaar ka tha.

Veer : Aur Erica ko tumne kyu bheja?

Renshu : Kyuki, mein pehle se jaanta tha Veer ki Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita hai. Ab agar ekdum se unki hatya ho jaaye aur wo bhi aise zeher se jiske baare me aadmi jaanta na ho toh kya tumhare andar shaq nahi paida hoga? Mere andar bhi hua tha. Isliye maine Erica ko bheja tha.

Veer : Hmm! Aur tumhara ye kehna ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai?

Renshu : Bilkul! Iske alawa aur kaun ho sakta hai? Mera Mr. Nicholson se koi lena dena nahi hai. Na hi Erica ka. Na hi tumhara. Aur na hi Tribal Leader Jaw Long ka. Toh kaun bachta hai system owner me? Ye ladki!!!

Veer : Kya reason de sakte ho tum mujhe? Kyu maara Garofano ne?

Renshu : Sampatti Veer!!! Athaay sampatti!! Itni sampatti ki tum note ki gaddiyo ka ek mahal banwa lo. Balki, aur zyaada. Laalach acche accho ko galat kaam karne ke liye majboor kar deta hai.

Veer : Really? Paisa?

Renshu : Will Veer! Harr Ameer insaan apni ek will bana ke jaata hai. Mr. Nicholson ki maut ke baad ye sab kuch charcha me hai ki unki ek will bhi thi.

Veer : Kaisi will?

Renshu : Yahi ki unki saari sampatti, unki beti ko jaati hai. Par, will bhala kis kaam ki? Agar, insaan zinda bana rahe toh? Isliye, isne apne hi pita ka qatl kar diya.

Veer : Really? Just for some money? I don't think-

Renshu : Ek toh yeh kaaran ho sakta hai. Dusra kuch aur bhi ho sakta hai Veer. Jise hum dono hi nahi jaante. Lekin, mein daave ke saath keh sakta hu ki hatya isi ladki ne ki hai.

Garofano (screams) : Jhoooootthhh!!!

Veer : Hmm??

Garofano : V-Veer-! Dekho ise! Dekho kaise baato ko manipulate kar raha hai. Asli baatein toh isne tumhe bataayi hi nahi. Isne apni kartoote toh tumhe bataayi hi nahi Veer.

Veer : Huh???

Garofano (shouts) : Agar mujhe pata hota ki tum itne bade waale dagabaaz aadmi nikloge ki meri hi peeth par chhura ghopoge toh maine tumhe woh sui kabhi di hi nahi hoti-!!!

Veer : Sui??

Garofano : Haan! Veer, yaad hai jab hum pehli baar mile the?

Veer : Casa Belle me...

Garofano : Hmm! Maine tumse iss Renshu ke baare me zikr kiya tha.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Garofano : Mein iss aadmi se pehle hi mil chuki thi. Aur, tab maine ek tohfe ke roop me ise apni khud ki banaayi gayi kuch sui saunpi thi. Saath hi zeher ki ek sheeshi bhi.

Veer ne turant hi Renshu ki orr dekha,

Veer : Kya ye sach hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!!

Ye baat toh Renshu ne nahi bataayi abhi. Iska matlab kuch chhipaaya jaa raha tha!?

Garofano : Maine ye soch ke ise woh di thi ki ye aadmi shayad hamari tarah ek accha insaan hoga. Aur, jo log system ke saath aam logo ko nuksaan pahucha rahe hai, unhe khatam karne me hamari madad karega. Lekin, mein galat thi.

Veer : ???

Garofano : Tum khud socho Veer. Police akhir mere ghar tak kaise aa gayi? Agar, maine hi hatya ki hoti. Toh mein koi saboot kyu chorrti waha? Kya mujh me itni aqal bhi nahi hai? Police ke paas saboot tha. Woh sui-!!! Woh zeher waali sui police ne mere pita ki body se baramad ki thi. Agar maine hi unhe maara hota toh mein woh sui unke shareer me kyu chorrti Veer??

Veer : That's-!!!

Garofano (gusse me) : Kuch samajh aaya? Police ko jo sui mili ye wahi sui thi jo maine iss bastard ko di thi-!!

Erica (gusse me) : Zubaan sambhaal ke-!!!!

Garofano : Apne Dad se kaho ki pehle ek accha insaan bane. Uske baad dusro ke upar ungli uthaana-!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Garofano : Veer!!! Isi ne mere pita ke shareer me woh sui ghop ke wahi chorr di thi. Meri harr sui par mera naam 'Garofano' guda hota hai. Bahut bareek hota hai. Isne usi baat ka faayda uthaaya. Isne mujhe fasaaya hai Veer. Trust me-!!!

Veer abhi kuch soch hi raha tha ki tabhi uski yaad-daasht ne use kuch yaad dilaaya. Woh pal jab woh Renshu se pehli baar mila tha.

Andhere se bhari samundar ke nazdeek uss gufa me jab woh ghaayal pada hua tha. Renshu ko Crimson samajh usne uss par hamla kar diya tha. Tab-

Tab Renshu ne kahi se ek 15cm kareeb lambi ek sui nikaali thi aur seedhe uski aankhon ki putliyo se 1 inch duri par tika di thi.

Use ye sab kuch yaad tha. Iska matlab-!! Woh sui-!!! Woh sui wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne tohfe me Renshu ko di thi. Matlab Garofano sach keh rahi thi. Renshu ko usne sui di thi iss baat ko jhutlaya nahi jaa sakta tha.

[Oh my~ It keeps getting better and better. Fufu~]

Garofano : Pucho iss se Veer. Isne hi mere Dad ke shareer me woh sui chorri thi jo maine ise gift ke roop me di thi. He betrayed me.

Veer ne punah Renshu ki orr dekha. Jaise maano uss se sawaal kar raha ho. Aur, Renshu bhi samajh gaya ki Veer akhir kya puchna chaah raha tha.

Renshu (sighs) : Ye sach hai!!

Veer : Huhhh!???

Garofano (smirks) : You fucker-!! Finally you admitted-!!

Renshu : Par ye aadha sach hai Veer.

Veer : Kya matlab?

Renshu : Ye baat sach hai ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me dhasi hui jo sui paayi gayi woh wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne mujhe di thi.

Garofano : See? I told you Veer. He was lying.

Renshu : Lekin, iss se ye kaha saabit hota hai ki maine unki hatya ki hai?

Veer : ???

Renshu : Darasal, maine hi Erica ko bheja tha. Erica ne hi woh sui Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me daal ke chorri thi. Baad me police aayi, sui aur zeher ki jaanch kari. Sui me likha 'Garofano' naam unhe pata chala aur unhone Garofano ke ghar me raid kar di. Jaha unhe alag se Garofano ke ghar me sui rakhi mil gayi.

Garofano : That's right-!!! This fucker-!!! Veer!!! Isne na sirf mere Dad ke shareer me wo sui chorri balki-! Isne mere ghar me bhi dusri sui zeher se lipti hui wahi chorri thi. Police ne dono ko match kiya and they concluded- ki- ki mein hi murderer hu. But that's not the case...!!!

Renshu : Hmm! Ye sach hai. Erica hi thi woh.

Garofano (growls) : I fucking knew it-!! Mein jaanti thi ki iske peeche kisi system owner ka haath hai. Your fucking daughter-!!! Stealth skills huh!!? Mujhe andaza tak nahi lag paaya tha ki koi mere ghar me aake gaya hai. So, it was you-!!!

Woh gusse me Erica ki orr dekhi. Veer ki nigaahein bhi Erica par gayi. Sabko apni orr dekhte hue paa ke Erica ne apna chehra mod liya.

Garofano : Tsk!!!

Renshu : Par jaisa ki maine kaha Veer. Ye sirf aadha sach hai. Ab mujhe poora sach bataane do.

Veer : Hmm??

Renshu : Garofano ne theek kaha. Agar, usne murder kiya hota toh woh sui ko kyu chorrti? Right?

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Well, usne theek wesa hi kiya tha Veer. Murder karne ke baad iss ladki ne koi bhi saboot nahi chorra tha. Aur, isliye toh mujhe Erica ko bhejna pada. Yahi kaaran tha jo Erica ne fir woh sui Mr. Nicholson ki body par chorri. Tumko pata hai kyu?

Veer : ???

Renshu (smirks) : Kyuki, Mr. Nicholson ki maut pehle hi iske zeher se ho chuki thi. Sui se vaar kar, unhe maut ke ghaat pe utaar kar Garofano crime scene se faraar ho chuki thi. Woh toh accha tha ki mere paas iski di hui sui maujood thi. Isliye, Erica ne turant hi woh sui unke shareer me chorr di. Saboot iss ladki ne bhale mita diya ho, par maine police ke liye wapas se saboot de diya tha.

Veer (frowns) : That's-!!!

[No fucking way-!!! Hahahahaha!!! ]

Harr guzarte pal ye gutthi aur bhi ulajhti jaa rahi thi. Aur, Pari iska poora maza utha rahi thi.

Renshu : Ye ladki bahut chaalbaaz hai Veer. Koi bhi system owner itni badi galti nahi kar sakta. Ye sahi keh rahi thi ki bhala ye apne saboot kyu chorregi? Zaahir hai woh saboot maine chorre the taaki ye pakad me aa sake.

Veer : Meri ek baat samajh nahi aayi. Tumhe kaise pata chala ki Mr. Nicholson ke saath aisa kuch hone waala hai? Aur, sahi waqt par tumne Erica ko bhi bhej diya?

Renshu (sighs) : Because I was keeping tabs on her.

Veer : Huh!!?

Renshu : Veer! Mein tum par vishvaas karta hu. Isliye, tum se kuch nahi chhipaata. Yaad hai jab mein tumhari madad karne aaya tha tab tumne mujhse pucha tha ki bhala mujhe ye kaise pata chala ki tum musibat me ho?

Veer : Haan! Mujhe yaad hai. Aur, tumne kaha tha ki tumhe kisi ka call aaya tha. X!!! Usne tumhe bataya tha.

Renshu : That's right!! Wahi call iss baar mujhe firse aaya tha.

Veer : Huhh!!??

Renshu : Pichli baar jab wo call aaya tha tab wo voice modulated voice thi.

Veer : Modulated voice??

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Matlab badli hui awaaz. Erica ke paas advanced observation skill hai Veer. Jab uss X ne mujhe pehli baar call kiya tha toh maine wo call record kar li thi. Baad me Erica ne jab woh call recording suni toh usne mujhe bataaya tha ki ye awaaz asli awaaz nahi thi uss insaan ki. Woh insaan koi voice modulation ki skill use kar raha tha.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Iss baar kuch din pehle mujhe fir call aaya tha. Lekin, iss baar Erica ne bataya ki awaaz modulated nahi thi. Insaan ki khud ki awaaz thi. Awaaz kisi aurat ki thi. Aur, usne mujh se bas ek hi baat kahi thi~

Veer : ???

Renshu : Ki China me jald hi Korea ke rishte naate tootne waale hai. Nazar rakhna.

Veer : What!!?

Renshu : Korea se sirf Garofano hi hai system owner ke roop me. Mein samajh gaya tha ki kiski baat ho rahi thi. Aur, isliye maine Erica se kaha tha Garofano ke upar nazar rakhne ke liye. Kyuki, jaise hi Mr. Nicholson China kuch din pehle aaye, tabhi mein samajh gaya tha ki kuch gadbad hone waali hai.

Garofano : Wh-What-!!? T-Tum kisi anjaan ke kehne par kuch bhi kar baithoge? A-Are you an idiot!?

Renshu : Uss anjaan ke kehne par hi Veer ki jaan bach paayi thi. Tum ye baat acche se jaante ho Veer.

Veer (frowns) : I-

Renshu : Mein maanta hu ki kisi anjaan vyakti par itna bharosa karna theek baat nahi. Par, hum iss baat ko kaise nazar-andaaz kar sakte hai ki uss X ki wajah se hi Veer tumhari jaan bachi hai. Aur toh aur agar woh phone call na aata toh shayad ye Garofano madam qatl kar ke nikal chuki hoti.

Garofano (screams) : Ye sab jhooth hai-!!! Wh-Why!? Why would I kill my own father!!?

Renshu : Isliye, maine uss X ko bhi ek card bheja tha.

Veer : Whatttt!!??

Renshu : Abhi jo call aaya tha woh aurat-!!! Uska kehna tha ki woh USA se hai.

Veer : USA???

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Mein chaahta tha ki agar wo waqai hamari side hai, toh woh yaha aaye aur hum uske baare me jaan paaye.

Veer : Kya usne apna naam bataya?

Renshu : Nahi! Par itna zaroor kaha tha ki filhaal woh USA me hai. Aur ye ki mein uski baat ko halke me na lu. Mr. Nicholson waali baat.

Veer : I see!!!

Renshu : Veer! Ab tumhare upar hai. Maine sab kuch tumhare saamne rakh diya hai. Agar tum chaaho toh aur sawaal puch sakte ho.

Garofano : He's lying Veer-!!! Kisi teesre ke kehne par tum kaise bharosa kar sakte ho? Jise tum jaante bhi nahi, jise dekha bhi nahi, jiske iraade bhi nahi jaante...!? Kaise-!? He's fucking lying-!!! T-Trust me Veer!!

Renshu : Veer-!!!

Garofano : Veer-!!!

'Fucking hell-!!!'

[Wahahahaha!!! What an interesting case. I'm loving every single second of it.]

'Shut up Pari! Let me concentrate! Inn dono me se koi ek jhooth bol raha hai.'

[Ya fir dono aadha sach keh rahe hai. Aur aadha jhooth.]

'Fuckkkk!!!!'

[They are waiting for your answer-!!!]

Veer ne dono ko dekha. Dono aas liye use hi dekh rahe the. Aur, dono ki aankhein uss se apeksha kar rahi thi ki woh unki side le.

'Fucking hell-!!! Ye kaha fass gaya mein-!??'

[Hahahahahaha!!!]

Veer ab ek vipda me tha. Aisi sthiti me jaha agar usne kisi galat ka saath galti se de diya toh kahi aisa na ho ki baad me woh zindagi bhar pachtaata rahe.

5 minute tak kamre me shaanti chhaayi rahi. Veer apne vichaaro me leen tha. Kuch sochne ke baad usne nirnay liya. Aur, gehri saans lete hue unn dono ko dekh bola.

Veer : Maine soch liya hai.

Renshu : !!?

Garofano : ???

Veer : Renshu! Garofano Jail se bhaag ke aayi hai. Zaahir hai police uske peeche padi hogi. Mein chaahta hu ki jab tak ye gutthi sulajh nahi jaati, tab tak Garofano yahi sahi salamat rahe. Aur, iss baat ki khabar yaha se baahar na jaane paaye.

Renshu : Whaaaatttt!??

Pal bhar ke liye Garofano ki aankhon me ek chamak dikhi. Uski nazre Veer par hi tiki hui thi. Woh uske chehre me khoyi hui thi.

Veer : Hmm! Sirf ek dusre ke keh dene se ye case solve nahi hone waala. Tum apni orr se dekh rahe ho. Aur, Garofano apni orr se. Mujhe lagta hai kuch missing hai yaha. Mine waala maamla kitni derr tak roka jaa sakta hai?

Renshu : Zyada se zyada 3 din. Kyuki, agar maine koi strategy nahi banayi toh government ki orr se firse koi na koi official aa hi jayega yaha dekhne ke liye ki kuch shuru hua bhi ya nahi. Aur, fir Jaw Long bhi attack kar sakta hai.

Veer : I see! Then, give me 3 days. 3 din ke andar andar... Mein iss gutthi ko suljha dunga.

Renshu : Huh!!!?

Erica : What?? What are you? Sherlock Holmes?? Tumhe pata bhi hai ki chal kya raha hai? H-How can you-

Iss se pehle ki Erica aur kuch Veer ko suna paati, Renshu ne apna haath dikha ke use wahi rok diya. Ek baar fir woh apne Dad ke Veer ke prati iss namr ravaiyye se hairat me reh gayi. Na chaahte hue bhi use khud ko rokna pada. Par, bechari Erica Veer ke intelligence se parichit nahi thi.

Veer ki nazre unfocused thi. Uska dimaag ab alag dhang se kaam kar raha tha. Ab uss Veer ke baahar aane ka samay tha jis Veer ne House of the Killers ki gutthi suljhayi thi.

Veer : Mein ye bhi chaahta hu ki tum meri madad karo Renshu. I will handle this case from now on. Aur, sach ko saamne laa ke rakhunga.

Renshu kuch shan tak Veer ko dekhta raha. Woh use parakh raha tha. Veer ki aankhein sab kuch bayaan kar rahi thi ki woh kitna serious tha iss matter ko leke.

Veer : Mine waale matter ko filhaal ke liye hold par rakhna hoga. Iss gutthi ko pehle suljhaana zaroori hai. Aur, Garofano-!!!

Garofano : H-Huh!?

Veer : Agar tum nirdosh saabit hoti ho. Toh mein chaahta hu ki tum mine waale matter me hamari madad karo-!!

Garofano : What!!?? Ye jaante hue bhi ki isi ne mujhe fasaaya hai, mein baad me iski madad bhi karu-!?

Veer : Please-!!!

Iss baar Garofano ne jaise hi Veer ki aankhon ko padha. Uska virodh apne aap samaapt ho gaya.

Garofano : F-Fine-! J-Just for your sake.

Veer (smiles) : That settles it. Then, mujhe kuch samay chahiye Garofano se baat karne ke liye. Garofano! Come with me-!!!

Garofano (nods) : Umm!

Erica : What? Hey Mister!!! Ye tumhara park nahi hai okay? This is my home!! Aur, tum yaha pe bina permission ke khud se charge nahi le sakte. You hear me? I-

Par, ek baar firse Renshu ne use haath dikha ke beech me hi rok diya.

Erica : D-Dad-!??

Renshu : Veer jo bhi madad maangta hai, use wo dena.

Erica : B-But-!

Renshu : No questions!!

Erica (sarr jhukaate hue) : Y-Yes!!

Idhar Veer aur Garofano kamre ke baahar nikal hi rahe the jab peeche se Erica ne awaaz lagaayi,

Erica : Waitttt-!!

Uske rokne par dono Veer aur Garofano palat ke use dekhe.

Erica : Our men-!! Tumne unke saath kya kiya? Jab tumne hamla kiya tab hamara ek bhi aadmi shor sunn ke yaha nahi aaya. What did you do to them??




Garofano : Hmph~!! They are fine! Bas, behosh hai. Go and have a look if you don't believe me.

Erica (mutters) : You will regret this bitch-!!

*Whoooshhhh*

Erica ek jhatke me waha se gaayab hui, aur baahar ki orr nikal gayi.



Jagah jagah Renshu ke saare aadmi behoshi ki haalat me dale hue the.

Usne railing ke paas khade hote hue neeche aangan me nazre daudayi. Sab ke sab behosh the. Koi bhi ghayal nahi tha.




'You will regret this-!! Dad ki insult-!! I will see you later Garofano!!'

Idhar, Veer aur Garofano punah baahar ki orr apna rukh karte ki peeche se iss baar Renshu ne unhe rok diya.

Renshu : Veer!!!

Veer (turns) : Hmm?

Renshu ne apne jaanvar ki khaal se bani uss odhni ko khola aur usme se ek kaagaz nikaalte hue Veer ki orr kiya,

Renshu : Ye Mr. Nicholson ki autopsy ki report ki ek photocopy hai. Have it!!! You'll need it.

Veer ne uske paas aate hue uske haath se woh kaagaz ka tukda le liya. Aur, Garofano ke sang wo uss kamre se baahar nikal gaya.

***

Baahar courtyard me aate hi Veer ne apne bagal se chal rahi Garofano ko dekha aur bola,

Veer : You are messed up!




Usne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha. Garofano jab se police dwara jail me le jaayi gayi thi tab se hi usne apna chehra tak nahi dhoya tha. Zaahir hai woh abhi apne sabse uttam roop me nahi thi.

Garofano : I know!!!



Par, Veer ki maujoodgi me woh kaafi hadd tak khud ko mehfooz mehsoos kar rahi thi.

Veer use ek dusre kamre ki orr laaya aur bathroom ki orr ishaara kiya. Garofano bina kuch kahe andar washroom me chali gayi. Veer tab tak wahi kamre me baahar baitha raha.

Jab tak woh aa rahi thi, tab tak Veer ne ek nazar uss autopsy ki report par dauda li.

Kareeb 15 minute baad Garofano washroom se nikal ke baahar aayi. Pehle se kahi zyaada behtar nazar aa rahi thi ab woh.



Veer : Better?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Woh aake wahi neeche bicche ek cushion par baith gayi.

Veer : So? Miss Garofano!?

Garofano : Garofano nahi Veer!! Please, just call me by my real name from now on. It’s ~ Violet!! Violet Nicholson!

Veer : Violet?

Garofano : Hmm! *smiles weakly* We have the same initials. Don’t we? V for Veer! V for Violet!

Uska ravaiyya Renshu ke prati ekdum alag tha aur Veer ke prati ekdum hi alag. Zameen asmaan ka antar tha dono ravaiyye me. Jaha Renshu ke prati uske andar se ghrina saaf saaf nikal rahi thi, toh wahi Veer ke saath hone par woh khud ko shaant mehsoos kar rahi thi. Veer ke prati uske andar thodi hayaa bhi thi aur thodi jigyaasa bhi.

Veer ne apne bagal se baithi uss sundar naari ko dekha. Woh jaanta tha ki iss waqt Garofano urf Violet apne dukh ko chhipaane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par wo isme nakaam thi. Uska dukh saaf saaf uske chehre par jhalak raha tha.

Veer : Alright then! Miss Violet! Talk!!!

Garofano : Ask me Veer. Tum jo jo puchoge mein sab ka jawaab dene ke liye taiyaar hu.

Veer : Hmm! Toh theek hai! Case shuru karte hai.

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Veer ne Renshu ki saari kahi gayi baat par zorr daala. Aur, seedhe hi woh prashn par aa gaya.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson ki rehesyamayi maut ke baad, unki will me yahi likha hua paaya gaya tha ki unki saari sampatti unki beti ko samarpit ki jaati hai. Right?

Garofano : Woh-

Veer : Par! Par! Par! Li Renshu ne tum pe ye ilzaam lagaya hai ki tumne paiso ki laalach me aake ye qadam uthaaya tha aur apne hi pita ko maut ke ghaat utaar diya. Taaki will me likhi gayi sampatti tumhe mil sake.

Garofano : N-Nahi-!

Veer : Lekin, ye baat yahi khatam nahi hoti. Hospital dwara Mr. Nicholson ki body ki autopsy bhi kari gayi thi. Aur post-mortem ke anusaar ek agyaat puncture ka ghaav unke ek chhipe hue ang par paaya gaya tha. Baad me pata chala ki ek behad hi jaanleva aur slow poison waha par inject kiya gaya tha. Report padhi abhi abhi maine jo Renshu ne mujhe di hai.

Garofano (panics) : Y-Ye jhooth hai!!! Tum jaante ho ki woh sui meri nahi thi Veer. Woh needle toh Renshu-

Veer : Li Renshu ne na sirf itna kuch pata lagaya balki report ye bhi kehti hai ki woh sui tumhari hi hai. Usi sui se woh ghaav banaya gaya tha isme koi shaq nahi. Aur, toh aur woh zeher bhi tumhari sui par laga hua paaya gaya jo Mr. Nicholson ki body se mila tha. Aur uske baad-

Garofano : Uske baad yahi sab hua.

Ek udaasi bhari muskaan uske hontho par aayi.

Garofano : Kaafi kuch tumne andaaza laga liya kuch hi palo me Veer! Lekin, ye sab- poori sachhayi nahi hai!! Mein tumhe andar pehle hi bata chuki hu.

Veer : !??

Garofano : Maine Mr. Nicholson ki hatya nahi ki hai. Wh-Why would I?

Uski awaaz me thar-tharahat thi. Lekin, uss thar-tharahat me ek dridhta bhi thi. Jaise woh nishchit thi ki sach kya hai aur jhooth kya.

Garofano : Li Renshu! Use jab se pata chala hai ki mein ek system owner hu tab se hi woh mujhe apni nigrani me rakhe hue hai. Aur, chuki mein system owner hu, isliye use ye aur bhi lag raha hai ki mein kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Maine hi qatl kiya hai. Yahi uska daawa hai. Ek baar bhi kisi ne mujhe apni begunahi saabit karne ka mauka nahi diya.

Veer : Hmm! Dekha maine sab kuch! Ek jhatke me woh decision le chuka tha. Koi chhaan-been kari hi nahi gayi. Mein ye bhi jaanta hu ki isme sirf Li Renshu aur Erica involved nahi hai.

Garofano (eyes widens) : Y-You mean!?

Veer : Yeah! Koi aur third person bhi involved hai. Li Renshu ko kisi ne influence kiya hai. Satark rehne ke chakkar me woh itna paranoid ho chuka hai ki usne kisi teesre vyakti ki baat ka itna bharosa kar liya. Aisa laga, jaise kisi bacche ko khilauna pakda ke use raazi kiya gaya ho.

Garofano : Th-That’s-

Garofano sarr jhukaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gayi. Magar, Veer ki nazre uski harr ek harqato par tani hui thi. Woh harr thode bol ke baad khud ko aise dikhaata jaise woh Renshu ki taraf hai, par fir aur kuch bolne ke baad aise jataata jaise Renshu galat hai.

Veer Garofano ki galti pakadne ka jaal biccha raha tha. Ye ek aisa maamla tha jaha koi bhi sahi ya galat ho sakta tha. Kya pata kaho Li Renshu sahi keh raha ho? Uske bagal se baithi ye sundar naari kaho khoon ki pyaasi ek hatyaari hi ho? Ye sab khaali uska dhong ho?

Ya fir ye bhi ho sakta tha ki Li Renshu hi galat tha? Woh koi chaal chal raha ho peeth peeche? Sabse zyada chakravyuh me Renshu ya Garofano nahi, balki Veer khud hi fasa hua tha. Use harr ek se sunishchit karna tha ki kaun saathi hai aur kaun dushman.

Woh ek prakaar se iss waqt ek double agent ke roop me kaam kar raha tha. Ek taraf use ye dikhana tha ki woh Garofano ki taraf hai toh wahi dusri orr ye ki woh Renshu ke saath hai. Aaj Las Vegas waale high IQ detective Veer ka imtihaan tha.

Veer : Mujhe nahi lagta ki system owner bas hone se turant hi kisi par bhi ilzaam laga dena chahiye.

Ye sunte hi Garofano thoda hairat me uski orr dekhi,

Garofano : Mujhe laga tha tum bhi baaki sab ki tarah mujhe ye gunaah qubool karne ke liye majboor karoge Veer!

Veer : Insaan kitni hi koshish kyu na kar le. Sach ko kabhi bhi chhipaaya nahi jaa sakta. I neither believe you nor disbelieve you. Mera bas itna maan’na hai ki saari baato ko jaan’ne ke baad hi decision liya jaa sakta hai. Toh mein chaahunga ki pehle tumhari kahani ko suna jaaye, taaki mein apni raay rakh saku.

Garofano ne haami bhari, aur bolna shuru ki-

Garofano : Theek hai, Veer! Mein tumhe sab kuch sach sach batati hu.

Veer : Hmm!

Ek gehri saans lete hue Garofano ne apni dastaan bayaan karna shuru kiya,

Garofano : Asliyat me, Mr. Nicholson aur mein... hum dono asli baap-beti hai hi nahi.

Veer : Huh!?

Garofano : I mean ye jo bhi rishta tha hamare beech, woh ek unofficial rishta tha. Na hi khoon ka rishta tha hamare beech aur na hi kisi paper par hamara rishta darj kiya gaya tha.

Kehte hue usne apne baal ki ek latt ko apne kaan ke peeche kiya. Woh apni yaadon ke talaab me aur gehraayi me gayi,

Garofano : Veer! Mr. Nicholson junoon se bharpoor insaan the. Woh charity aur trust me aksar khoob daan kiya karte the. Gareebo ki bahut madad kiya karte the hamesha. Aur mein unhi gareebo ki ek basti se ek aam ladki ki tarah hi thi, jiski madad unhone ki thi mujhe beti ke roop me apna ke.

Veer : Tumhara parivaar?

Garofano : Woh toh bachpan me hi guzar gaye the. Mein bas ek anaath bach gayi thi. Mushqil se hi zinda thi. Lekin, jaise tese bach gayi. Shayad mujhe bhi chale jaana tha iss duniya se tabhi. Hai na? *smiles weakly*

Veer : Parivaar kaise khatam hua? Kya tum share kar sakti ho?

Garofano : Ryongchon disaster!!

Usne bas yahi do shabd kahe. Aur, idhar Pari ne bina Veer ke bole hi turant hi uske mann me saari jankaari prastut kar di.

Ryongchon disaster!! 22 April 2004. Ek aisa train accident jo North Korea ke town Ryongchon me ghatit hua tha. Flammable cargo blast ho chuka tha. Saral shabdo me, woh padaarth jo jwalansheel tha, woh aag pakad chuka tha jiske chalte ek bhayanak visfot ne janm liya tha. Aur, train ke kayi saare dabbo ke chithde udd chuke the.

Zaahir hai Garofano ke maata-pita usi train me tab safar kar rahe the. Aur, aneko logo ke saath saath woh bhi apni jaan gawa baithe. Apne parivar me bas wahi ek thi jo kismat se bach gayi thi. Garofano ne ek gehri saans chorri aur bolna jaari rakha,

Garofano : Aur uss haadse ke baad mein poori tarah se anaath ho chuki thi.

Veer : Tum North Korea se South Korea jaa rahi thi?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm! Aur aa bhi gayi thi.

Veer : So, you are not completely Korean, right?

Garofano : Yes! Mein half-Korean and half white hu.

Veer : I’m sorry! Shayad mere kaaran tumhari puraani taqleef bhari yaadein taaza ho gayi.

Veer ne ahista se apni breast pocket se apna rumaal nikaalte hue uski orr kiya. Garofano ne halke se muskuraate hue uske haath se rumaal thaama aur boli,

Garofano : Isme tumhe sorry kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi Veer! Yahi woh time tha jab mein Mr. Nicholson se mili. Jab maine jeene ki icchha chorr di thi, saari umeedein chorr di thi. Tab, woh meri zindagi me farishta bann ke aaye.

Veer : Ohh!

Garofano : Unhone mujhe apni beti ki tarah paala. Aur jab mein badi hui, tab unhone hi Garofano cosmetics mujhe khol ke di thi. Mujhe jaise jeene ke liye ek naya raasta mil gaya tha.

Veer : I see!

Garofano : Mein hamesha se unka naam raushan karna chahti thi. Mein chaahti thi ki jitna unhone mujhe diya hai, mein uska kayi guna unhe lauta saku.

Veer : Aur isliye tumne system ka istemal kiya taaki Garofano cosmetics aur bhi ucchaayi par pahuch sake?

Garofano (nods) : That’s right!

Veer : Tumhe system kab mila?

Garofano : Haha!

Woh halke se muskurayi aur thahaaka lagaate hue Veer ko dekhi,

Garofano : Kya tum sach me jaan’na chaahte ho?

Veer (nods) : Yeah!

Garofano : Okay! Hassna mana hai, theek hai na? Mujhe system tab mila tha jab mein bar me nashe me dhutt hoke besudh si padi hui thi.

Veer : What?

Garofano (shyly) : I-It’s the truth! And, aisa karna bilkul bhi safe nahi tha I know. Mein drunk thi. Jiski wajah se, kuch ladke mera faayda uthaana chaahte the. Aur woh qamyaab ho bhi jaate. Agar, tab mere dimaag me wo awaaz nahi aati. Ding!! System has been activated. Haha!

Woh harr prayaas kar rahi thi ki inn chulbuli baato se wo apne dukh ko chhipa sake. Kintu, Veer ko sab kuch nazar aa raha tha.

Veer : I see! Back to the topic again.

Garofano : Ohh! Right! Sorry~

Veer : You can continue!

Garofano : Hmm! Jab se unhone mujhe apni beti maana tha tab se hi hum ek saath raha karte the. Ek dusre ka dhyaan rakhna, parvah karna. Laga tha jaise zindagi hamesha hi aise shaant, araamdayak aur dil-khush rahegi par-

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

Garofano : S-Sorry! Woh bas-

Veer : That’s okay! You can take your time. Parivar ko khona bahut hi peeda-dayak hota hai. Mein samajh sakta hu.

Kahi na kahi Veer ko Golu ki yaad aa gayi. Woh parivaar nahi tha uska. Lekin, uska sabse pehla dost zaroor tha.

Garofano : Toh fir tum ye bhi acche se samajhte hoge Veer… ki ek baar apne parivaar ko khone ke baad, mein dobaara apne kisi qareebi ko kaise khone de sakti hu?

Veer : …

Garofano : Hamara rishta bahut accha tha. Unhe maarne ka mein apne sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti. Mein khud apni jaan de dungi lekin unke saath aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi. Loneliness! Kaisi hoti hai ye mein jaanti hu. Mein dobaara kisi apne ko kyu khona chaahungi bhala?

Iss baar woh thitur uthi aur khud ko rok na paayi. Uske gaalo se aasu nirantar behne lage. Veer ne punah apna rumaal use thamaya.

Garofano : Th-Thank you!

Rumaal thamaate waqt Veer ki ungliyaan Garofano ki ungliyo se sparsh hui. Use mehsoos hua ki woh ekdum thandi ho rakhi thi. Kuch shan baad Garofano ne khud ko sambhaala aur sarr upar kar Veer ko gambheerta se dekhi.

Garofano : Mein jaanti hu… ki saboot mere khilaaf hai. Harr koi yahi samajh raha hai ki mein hatyaari hu. Lekin-

Veer : …

Garofano : Mein kabhi bhi apne parivaar ko nuksaan nahi pahucha sakti Veer!

Veer uske aseem dukh ko mehsoos kar paa raha tha. Uss dukh ke peeche dradh sankalp bhi tha. Veer nahi chaahta tha ki koi bhi apne parivaar se itna pyaar karne wala vyakti jhooth bole.

Veer : Well! Agar dekha jaaye toh tumhare khilaaf hi saare saboot ikhatta hue hai.

Garofano : Mmm! Mein jaanti hu!

Veer : Then?

Garofano : Veer! Agar tumhe waqai lagta hai ki mein Mr. Nicholson ke paise aur unki property ke peeche thi…! Mein batana chaahti hu tumhe ki mere aur unke beech pehle hi iss baat ko leke samjhauta ho chuka tha. Maine unse keh ke rakha tha ki mein unki koi bhi dhan daulat ka hissa nahi banungi.

Veer : …

Garofano : Aur wese bhi, agar mujhe diya bhi jaata hai toh bhi mein uski haqdar nahi hu. Wo property sahi maayno me unke chhote bhai ko milni chahiye.

Veer : Par ye sab unki will me-

Garofano : Rahi baat unki will ki- Toh mujhe ye sab unke iss duniya se jaane ke baad hi pata chala ki unhone mere liye koi will bhi banayi hui hai.

Wait!! Mr. Nicholson ka chhota bhai? Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Renshu ne toh aisa kuch bhi mention nahi kiya tha. Agar Mr. Nicholson ka sach me koi bhai hota toh Renshu ye baat beshaq uske saamne rakhta.

Ek baar fir Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Kaun jhooth keh raha tha? Kya Renshu ne theek se jaanch nahi kari thi? Ya Garofano jhooth keh rahi thi?

‘Damn it!!!’

[Hahahaha! What do you think, Mister Detective? Kaun sach keh raha hai? Aur kaun jhooth? If you solve this case, then I'll admire you. Just for this time I'm making an exception. Fufu~]

Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, filhaal ek mauka Garofano ko diya. Shayad Renshu ne theek se chhaan been nahi ki thi. Mr. Nicholson ka ek bhai bhi tha? Bhala iss baat ka zikr usne kyu nahi kiya? Ab use zaroorat thi ek raasta khojne ki taaki woh iss gutthi ko jald se jald suljha sake.

Veer ko iss tarah shaant dekh Garofano ka sarr neeche jhuk gaya aur woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Shayad ye gutthi ab sulajh nahi sakti. Hai na? *smiles* Aur ab dheere dheere meri umeedein bhi kam hoti jaa rahi hai Veer. Akele kis se ladti rahungi? Mein kisi ko maar to nahi sakti na?

Veer : That’s-

Garofano : Jab tak meri koi bas baat sunn le, mere liye bas wahi bahut hai. Mein usme hi khush hu. Mujhe koi safaayi nahi deni apne baare me. Mein dekhti hu mein kya kar sakti hu-! Then-

Veer : No! Mein iss gutthi ko suljha sakta hu. Iss poori problem ki jadd hai lack of evidence. Poora case hi uljha hua hai. Mein tum par apna trust rakh raha hu. Mein bhi dekhna chahta hu akhir kitna pyaar tha tumhe apne parivar se.

Iss baar Garofano use aashcharya me dekhi.

Garofano : T-Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhe yakeen hai ki mein nirdosh hu?

Veer : Maine aisa kuch nahi kaha. Mera kehna bas ye hai ki mein iss gutthi ko suljha ke rahunga aur asal me kya hua tha woh sab ke saamne launga.

Garofano : ….

Veer : Mein jaanta hu ki Renshu system owners ki taraf biased rehta hai. Koi bhi rahega. Unhe naap taul ke parakhta hai woh. Kyuki, agar koi khatra bann sakte hai toh woh system owners hi hai. Na ki aam insaan. Lekin-

Garofano (stares) : ???

Veer : Lekin, iss tarah se hum kisi nateeje par nahi aa sakte aur na hi bina tehqiqaat ke koi faisla suna sakte hai. Sach ko nazar-andaaz karna galat hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Isliye- Mein koshish karunga ki iss poori riddle ko solve karu aur tumhara naam sab ke saamne clear ho jaaye ki tumne Mr. Nicholson ko nahi maara hai. Yahi ek raasta hai jis se tumhe nirdosh saabit kiya jaa sakta hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Magar, uske pehle- Mein bhi chaahunga ki tum bhi mujhpe trust karo.

Garofano wahi jamm ke reh gayi. Lag raha tha jaise woh poori tarah se stabdh thi Veer ki baat sunane ke baad. Kuch shan baad, woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Veer-!!

Veer : Hmm?

Garofano (smiles) : Tum mujhe kisi ki yaad dilaate ho.

Ek bhaavuk, udaseen bhaav uske chehre par terr gaya. Veer ko turant hi kisi cheez ka ehsaas hua.

Veer : Koi family member?

Garofano ne haule se sarr naa me hilaaya aur boli,

Garofano : Nahi! Ek bachpan ka dost.

Veer : Ohh! Toh? Ab kaha hai woh-

Garofano : He’s no more!

Veer : ….

Garofano (smiles) : You remind me of him. Woh bilkul tumhari tarah tha. Dayaalu aur insaaf dhoondhne waala…! Such a pity…!

Veer : Kya hua tha?

Garofano : Huntington’s disease.

Garofano ke muh se nikalte hi Pari ne Veer ke saamne ek baar fir jankaari prastut kar di.

[Huntington’s disease. Ek aisa disorder hai jisme dimaag ke nerve cells yaani ki neurons toot ke bikhar jaate hai aur samay ke saath marr jaate hai. Iss beemari ka koi cure nahi hai.]

Padhte hi Veer ka mann bhi niraash ho utha.

Garofano : Mein khushkismat hu jo meri mulaqat tumse hui. Insaaf dhoondhne waale se…! *smiles* Mein sach me abhaari hu ki tum mere liye ye kar rahe ho. Pehli baar tumse milte hi samajh gayi thi mein.

Veer : Tum hum system owners me se ek ho. Aur, ye kahi na kahi hum sabki zimmedari hai ki sach ko khoja jaaye uske baad hi koi nirnay liya jaaye.

Garofano : Zimmedari unn sabne toh nahi li na Veer? Fir tumne kyu-?

Veer : I don’t know! I just feel like it. Tumhe abhaar vyakt karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Garofano bas dheere se ek haami bhari.

Garofano (smiles) : Hmm! I’ll wait then!

Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Akhir sach kaun keh raha tha? Kya Renshu jhooth keh raha tha? Magar, usne na sirf itni kuch baatein use batayi balki apni khud ki beti Erica ki bhi skill uske saamne khule aam bata di thi.

Advanced observation!!!

Isi skill ki madad se Erica ne uss phone call ke baare me Renshu ko bataya tha. Veer nahi jaanta tha ki ye advanced observation kaise kaam karta tha, par woh baad me Pari se iske baare me puch sakta tha. Zaroor Pari kuch na kuch iske baare me jaanti hi hogi. Agar woh skill shop se li gayi hogi, toh Pari ko beshaq iske baare me kuch na kuch andaaza zaroor hoga.

Agar, Renshu satark rehna chaahta aur use gumraah karna chaahta toh woh itna asaani se Erica ki skill kyu bataata?

Par, yahi baat Garofano ke liye bhi kahi jaa sakti thi. Pehli mulaqaat me hi usne 'Dead Silence' ka prayog kar ke Veer ko apni skill ka andaaza de diya tha.

Yaha tak ki usne apni sui banaane waali aur poison banaane waali skills ke baare me bhi koi virodh nahi kiya.

Akhir, chal kya raha tha!!?

Woh dono kuch aur baatein karte ki tabhi baahar se ek shor unhe sunayi diya.

*Honk* *Honk*

Kisi gaadi ke horn ki awaaz si maalum pad rahi thi. Raat me 10:30 ho rahe the. Iss waqt bhala kaun ho sakta tha?

Awaaz sunte hi Veer turant hi apni jagah se uth khada hua aur baahar ki orr chal diya. Woh akela nahi tha. Garofano bhi uske peeche peeche aa rahi thi. Kintu, woh savdhaan thi.

Use dhoondhte hue police bhi aa sakti thi. Isliye, seedhe seedhe woh baahar nahi jaa sakti thi.

Andar se Renshu samet Erica bhi baahar aa chuke the. Renshu ke aadmi abhi tak hosh me nahi aaye the, isliye baahar guard karne ke liye bhi koi nahi tha. Garofano sab ko behosh kar ke andar aayi thi.

[Garofano ke paas koi skill ya kuch aur zaroor hai jis se logo ko sleep ya unconscious state me daala jaa sakta hai.]

Pari ne Veer ko sachet kiya.

'Yeah!'

[This is your golden opportunity. Jab tak woh yaha hai, tumhe uske system ke baare me jitna ho sake utna pata karna hoga. Even Renshu aur Erica ke baare me bhi. We don't know who might turn their back against us.]

'I know!!!'

[Good!]

Erica ne jaise hi main entrance ka woh bada sa darwaza khola, saamne ek car khadi hui thi.

Aur, jaise hi car ka darwaza khula, usme se ek khubsoorat aurat baahar nikal ke aayi.




Saamne khade logo ko dekh, jaise hi uski nazar Veer pe padi, na sirf woh khud chaunki balki Veer bhi utna hi chakit reh gaya.

Divya : V-Veer!!???

Veer : Divya???

Update - 170 ~ Yarnia, Nocturne and Dilemma ​

Ab tak...

Renshu aur Erica dono ki nazre uske upar tiki hui thi. Abhi bhi samay tha. Agar woh chaahe toh apne aap ko peeche kheech sakta tha. Akhir, ant me uske liye sabse aham uska parivar hi the. Bewajah kisi jokhim me jaana murkhta hi thi. Woh Renshu ke favor ko kinhi aur tareeqo se bhi chuka sakta tha.

Par dono baap beti uske jawaab ka intezar kar rahe the. Aur, usne kuch derr baad apna muh khola,

Veer : Mein...

Ab aage...

FBCC Headquarters,
New York, U.S.A,
Night ~ 8:25 PM

Raat ke samay me New york ki sadko par chaaro orr gaadiyo tatha buildings ki lights hi lights jagmaga rahi thi.




Aur, inhi buildings ke beech sthit thi ek building jiske upar sheersh par bade bade aksharo se uski sanstha ka naam likha hua tha. Woh akshar bhi LED lights se raushan the.

FBCC!

Yaani ki ~ Foreign bureau for crime control. Desh videsh me bade se bade apraadho ki gatividhiyo ko jaachne waala ek bureau. Las Vegas se kayi meelo ki duri tay kar yaha building ke saamne ek khubsoorat mahila neeche khadi hui thi. Woh aur koi nahi, Divya hi thi.

Woh zyada kuch na sochte hue building me daakhil hui. Use FBCC ka call letter praapt ho chuka tha. Aur, aaj woh yaha usi silsile me aayi thi. Parantu, uske andar jaane se pehle hi waha ki security ne use rok liya. Jab Divya ne apna call letter dikhaya tab jaa ke unhone use andar jaane diya.

Aur, uske andar aate hi tamaam nazre uss par tik gayi. Front office desk pe hi usne sawaal jawaab kiye aur turant hi wahi ke staff ka ek aadmi uske liye niyukt kar diya gaya.

“Please, follow me!”

Aadmi use bulaate hue ishaara kar aage badh gaya aur uske peeche peeche Divya bhi chal di. Uski nazre andar se building ko parakh rahi thi. Kayi employees iss waqt bhi kaam karne me lage hue the. Andar se infrastructure aur bhi aadhunik prateet ho raha tha.

Use yaha aake ek aur baat pata chala thi. Woh ye ki FBCC 24x7 chaalu rehti thi. Din ki shifts ke liye alag employees hote the toh wahi raatri ki shift ke liye alag. Jurm se ladne ke liye itni badi sanstha aakhir chhuthi kaise le sakti thi? Kabhi bhi kahi pe bhi kuch bhi ghatit ho sakta tha. Aur, isliye unka 24 ghante chaalu rehna aavashyak tha. Chhuthi lene ke liye employees ko pehle se hi letter likh ke anumati leni hoti thi. Niyam sakht the.

Isliye, alag alag shifts banayi gayi thi. Jitna kaam rehta tha, pagaar bhi uss hisaab se acchi khaasi mila karti thi. Divya chalte chalte apni nigaahein harr jagah daudaati jaa rahi thi. Mann hi mann woh building ke andar ka naksha aur raasta bhi yaad karti jaa rahi thi. Detective thi, toh uska dimaag bhi usi tarah se kaam kar raha tha.

Kul 7 floor ki iss building me woh aadmi use 7th floor pe hi leke gaya. Iske seedhe upar terrace tha. Saatvi manzil par aate hi ek kamre ke baahar woh dono aake ruke. Saari formalities neeche hi ho chuki thi. Saamne kamre ke darwaaze ke baahar hi ‘Director’ ka tag laga hua tha. Yaani ye office FBCC ke Director ka tha.

Aadmi fir uski orr dekha aur usne andar jaane ka ishaara kiya. Divya haami bhar office ke andar jaane ke liye hui. Woh thodi vyaakul thi. Ye Las Vegas ya kisi anya sheher ka chhota mota investigation department nahi tha. Ye Crime field ka duniya ka sabse bada bureau tha. FBCC!

Yaha aana uske liye garv ki baat thi. Magar, fir bhi kahi na kahi ek ghabrahat bhi thi use. Ye sab kuch pehli baar jo ho raha tha. FBCC ke baare me woh khud bhi zyada kuch nahi jaanti thi.

Jaise hi woh andar aayi, usne dekha ki office andar se kaafi bada tha. Uske theek saamne ek pahiyo waali chair rakhi hui thi. Magar, chair ulti disha me mudi hui thi. Aur, uss par koi baitha hua tha. Divya ko saamne se chair ka bas picchla hissa hi nazar aa raha tha. Sabhya ravaiyya rakhte hue usne pehle khud se awaaz lagayi,

“M-May I come in-!?”

Use nahi pata tha ki kursi ke uss orr baitha shaks ek aadmi tha ya fir ek mahila? Aur, tabhi kursi par baithe insaan ki awaaz aayi-

“Yes! Come in!”

Divya ek pal ke liye chaunki. Ye ek mard ki nahi balki ek aurat ki awaaz thi. Itne bade bureau ki Director ek aurat thi? Divya aashcharya me bhi thi aur thodi khush bhi. Par, iss khushi ke kaaran se woh khud anjaan thi.

Woh aage aayi aur tabhi uski aahat paate hi kursi par baithi mahila uski orr palti. Saamne chehra dekh, Divya ke qadam wahi tham gaye.

Ek straight aurat hone ke naate woh koi bisexual nahi thi. Magar, saamne maujood aisi sundarta dekh uska khud ka muh halka sa khula reh gaya. FBCC ki Director? Itni khusboorat?? Use apni khubsoorti par bhi naaz tha. Woh jaanti thi ki woh kaafi sundar thi. Kintu, aaj use ye sweekar karna pada ki saamne baithi ye lady uss se bhi adhik sundar thi.

Divya : Uhh!

Woh wahi jaise barf ki tarah jamm gayi thi.

Lady (smiles) : Arre? Waha beech me kyu ruk gayi? Come! Have a seat, Mrs. Divya!

Divya apne vichaaro se baahar aate hue haami bhar aage badhi aur chup chap Director ke saamne waali kursi par virajmaan ho gayi.

Usne apni nazre table par rakhi cheezo par tatoli. Kayi prakaar ke kaagzat, files aur na jaane kya kya table par rakha hua tha. Par, Divya ki nazre uss title waale board ko talaash rahi thi. Aur, use woh mil bhi gaya. Magar-

‘Huh!?’

Woh fir chaunki. Board par bas ‘Director’ hi likha hua tha. Uss lady ka naam kahi par bhi mentioned nahi tha. Saamne baithi uss lady ne bhi jaise Divya ke iraado ko padh liya. Woh haule se muskurayi,

Director : Curious about me?

Divya : Ah! Umm-!

Director : You can call me ‘Director’.

Divya (nods) : Yes!

Director : So, Mrs. Divya!? Aapko pata hai na aap yaha par kyu ho?

Divya : ‘House of the killers’ ke case ki wajah se?

Director : That’s right! FBCC ki nazre harr taraf rehti hai. Bureau iss baat ko jaanta hai ki ‘House of the killers’ me aapka kitna yogdaan tha.

‘House of the killers’ ke baare me sochte hi pata nahi kyu par Divya ke mann me Veer ki chhavi turant hi utar aaya karti thi.

Director : Hum jaante hai ki jitna aapka yogdaan tha, uss se kahi adhik Mister Veer ka yogdaan tha. Am I right?

Divya : Huh!!!???

Ek jhatka aur laga Divya ko. Veer ke baare me FBCC jaanti thi? Par kaise? Aur, agar jaanti thi toh ye offer toh Veer ko milna chaahiye tha na ki use. Akhir chal kya raha tha? Divya ke maathe par silvatein chhaa gayi. Woh khamoshi me saamne Director ko dekhti rahi.

Director : FBCC se kuch bhi chhip nahi sakta. Mujhe pata hai ki uss case ko solve karne me Mister Veer ka 60% yogdaan tha.

Divya : F-Fir kyu? Mujhe kyu offer mila hai? Agar, mein eligible nahi hu toh ye offer mujhe nahi milna chahiye tha na?

Director : Maine kab kaha ki aap eligible nahi ho?

Divya : !!!??

Director : You are eligible, that’s why you are here Mrs. Divya. Bureau kabhi bhi galat insaan ko call letters nahi bhejta aur na hi unhe rakhta hai.

Divya : Th-Then why!?

Director : Case bhale Mister Veer ne solve kiya ho. But hum iss baat ko deny nahi kar sakte ki aap ne Mister Veer ka kitna saath diya hai. After all…! Koi bhi investigation department ek baahri insaan ko apne sheher ke cases handle karne ki permission nahi dega. Right?

Divya ki bauhe kass uthi. Akhir, FBCC kitna jaanti thi? Unhe ye bhi pata tha ki Divya ne hi Veer ko investigation se jodne ke liye poore department ko manaaya tha.

Director : I know that you were the one who cracked the ‘House of the killer’ code.

Divya (surprised) : That’s-!!!

Director : Isliye kaha ki Mister Veer ka 60% yogdaan tha. Because, you were the bridge which helped him to solve the cases.

Divya bas maun reh gayi. Use ye umeed hi nahi thi ki FBCC ko itni andhruni baatein bhi pata hongi.

Director : Files aur reports me se kitna hi kuch kyu na chhipa liya jaaye Mister Veer ke baare me. FBCC ko hamesha sach ka pata lag hi jayega.

Divya : H-How!?

Director (smirks) : You can’t take our bureau lightly.

Divya (gehri saans lete hue) : Then? What now?

Director : You have 2 options Mrs. Divya. Inn dono me se aapke upar hai ki aap kise chunti ho. We have 2 job roles for you.

Divya : …

Director : Pehla~ Special Agent in charge (SAC). Job yahi hai ki aapko yaha par office work karna hoga. You know, sit and work for any one of the shifts. Neeche aapne kuch employees dekhe honge. Unme se kuch SAC hi hai.

Divya : Aur dusra role?

Director : Dusra role hai ~ Special Agent (SA). Yaani ki aapko several cases ke liye investigate karna hoga. That means, you can’t stay here. Cases jaha ke bhi milenge, aapko uss jagah par jaana hoga. Of course, you won’t be alone. One escort and one trained security guard will accompany you. So? Which one is it? SAC!!?? Ya fir… SA??

Divya : I’ll choose Special Agent. Office me baith ke work karne ke liye mein nahi bani hu.




Director : Are you sure? SAC me koi risk nahi hota hai. Payment maanti hu ki bas thodi si kam hai Special Agents se but… Mostly log isi profile ke liye ladte hai. You sure you don’t want that? SA me jaan ka khatra bhi rahega.

Divya : Yes! I want to be a Special Agent.

Director (smiles) : I was right about you!

Divya : Huh?

Lady Director ne agle hi shan Divya ke saamne ek file khiskaate hue pesh ki,

Director : This will be your first case then. Get ready! Read the contents thoroughly! You will be going overseas in a few hours so be prepared.

Sab kuch itni jaldi hone se Divya thodi vyaakul ho uthi.

Divya : Wait! Abhi?

Director : Toh kabhi? We have received a request. You can take your leave now. Agar, mujhe contact karne ki zaroorat pade then here~ This is my number.

Usne ek card bhi aage ki orr sarka ke use diya.

Divya : Toh… Mujhe baar baar report deni hogi situation ki woh mein-!?

Director : Yes! Aap mujhe hi directly report karengi.

Divya : O-Ohh!

Director : Anything else!?

Divya ke mann me toh hazaar prashn the, par iss waqt uske paas na hi samay tha kuch puchne ka aur na hi himmat. Usne naa me apna sarr hilaaya aur woh file aur card utha ke waha se chali gayi. Parantu, abhi woh darwaaze ke paas aayi hi thi ki peeche se Director ki awaaz punah sunayi padi,

Director : Mrs. Divya!!

Divye ke qadam wahi tham gaye. Woh peeche mudi. Par, Director waapas se apni chair ko mod ke ulti disha me baith chuki thi.

Director : Do well on your first assignment. I wish you good luck. And maybe-! Agar aap ise acchi se kar paayi then-

Divya : !!?

Director : I might consider you my trustworthy one.

Divya : Does that include telling me your real name?

Director (smiles) : Of course!

Divya (smiles) : Agent Divya taking her leave!

Director (smiles) : Good Luck!

Aur, Divya office ke baahar nikal gayi. Dono ek dusre ke chehre ko nahi dekh paaye the magar dono ke chehre par muskaan thi. Divya jaanti thi ki jaise FBCC bade bade cases aur criminals ki talaash me rehti thi wese hi toh criminals bhi FBCC ke members ki talaash me rehte honge?

Akhir, FBCC unn criminals ke liye raaste me aaye pattharo ki tarah thi jo unke kaamo ko safal hone se roka karti thi. Zaahir hai ki harr criminal bhi FBCC ko apne radar me rakhta hoga.

Iska matlab isme koi shaq nahi tha ki FBCC ki Director ke upar bhi na jaane kitne Criminals nigraani rakh rahe honge. Aur, aise me apna naam chhipaana swabhavik tha. Yahi kaaran tha jo uski table par uska naam bhi mentioned nahi tha.

Ye jaante hue ki aapki jaan ke peeche kitne saare log pade hue hai, uske baad bhi itna shaant rehna aur apne kaam ke prati date rehna, kahi na kahi Divya ke mann me Director ke liye aadar aur bhi badh gaya.

Woh office par baahar nikal wahi ek seat par baith gayi. File khol usne jaise hi apna pehle case ke baare me padha, woh thodi hairaan reh gayi.

‘Huh!? China?? Feud between The Order and The Legion?’

***

Veer’s house, Mumbai~

Yaha Mumbai me Veer ke ghar me uski gerr haziri me chahal pahal machi hui thi. Harr baar ki tarah woh sabhi uske iss tarah jaane se naraaz toh the hi par gumsum hoke haath par haath dhare nahi baithe the.

Sab ye jaante the ki uski gerr maujoodgi me business aur baaki vyavsaay ka bhaar ab unke upar tha, aur unhe ye sab acche se sambhaalna tha.

Tej, Raagini mil ke Louis, Sudha aur anya kaam karne waalo ke saath Clothing Brand ke liye lag chuke the. Karan ne akhir kaar ek jagah Veer ke liye dhoondh li thi, jaha Veer apni clothing brand ko establish kar sakta tha.

Building abhi poori tarah se Veer ke naam nahi hui thi par uske behalf me Karan ne apna paisa laga ke 70% building Veer ke naam karwa di thi. Kuch aur formalities bachi hui thi jo samay ke saath poori hone waali thi.

Karan, apne pita Kishor aur apni behan Kaera se chhip ke ye sab kar raha tha. Of course, Veer use saara paisa waapas karne waala tha. Ek dost ki madad uski gerr maujoodgi me karna dusre dost ka farz tha. Karan ye baat jaanta tha. Aur, kahi na kahi uske andar uss Casa Belle party waali raat ko lekar glaani bhi bhari hui thi. Woh samay par Veer ke liye khada nahi ho paaya tha jab waha uska apmaan ho raha tha. Kahi na kahi woh khud ko dosh de raha tha.

Isliye, iss baar usne Kaera aur Kishor dono se chhipa ke apni investment uss building me kar di thi. Sheher se hi lagi hui building thi, aur iske liye usne kitne crore lagaaye the ye baat woh bakhubi jaanta tha. Kintu, woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki ye zameen uske dost ke karobaar ke liye kitni aham hone waali thi.

Bhavna ki gerr haziri me idhar Shweta ek maa ka role nibha rahi thi. Building praapt hone ki khushi me usne turant hi pandit jii ko bulwa ke shubh muhurt me sabse pehle bhoomi poojan karwaya. Uske bete ka karobaar badh chadh ke phale phoole iski taiyaari me Shweta koi bhi kami nahi chhor rahi thi.

Building ka basement ka hissa raw material aur stock ke liye rakh diya gaya tha. Toh wahi Printing, Sewing, Designing alag alag prakriyao ke liye alag alag floors niyukt kar diye gaye the.

Idhar Bhumika ne apne bhai ke clothing brand ke liye ek naam bhi soch liya tha. Vibhor ~ jisne ‘Chef on wheels owned by Hotel Prestige’ ke logo banaaye the. Use hi nayi clothing brand ka logo banaane ke liye bhi Bhumika ne bol diya.

Vibhor brand ki logo making me lag chuka tha. Toh wahi Shyaam ke bheje gaye kisaan bhai sab accha kaam kar fasal ugaane me vyast the. Varsha uddyaano ki dekh bhaal me lagi hui thi. Wahi, Mukta Hotel Prestige me Head Chef ki zimmedari bakhubi sambhaal rahi thi. Aur, Sonali Chef on wheels ko din-ba-din popular banaane ki daud me lagi hui thi.

Arohi aur Kavya samay samay par Veer ke ghar jaaya karti aur madad ka haath bata diya karti. Dono aaj uske hi ghar par thi aur charcha ka vishay Veer hi tha~

Kavya : Bhaiya iss baar letter likh ke bhaage hai. Iss baar aane do unko. Harr baar aisa karte hai woh!

Arohi : Usne kuch soch ke hi aisa kiya hoga.

Kavya : Aap hamesha bhaiya ki hi side kyu leti ho Dii?

Arohi : Kyuki woh samajhdar hai. Woh bewakoofi bhara qadam nahi uthaata.



Kavya : Bina bataye ghar se nikal jaana aur ye bhi nahi batana ki kaha par gaye hai. Ye kaun si samajhdari hai dii?

Arohi : I know but-!!

Arohi jaanti thi ki ye koi samajhdari wala qadam nahi tha. Magar, woh ye bhi jaanti thi ki Veer kis kism ka insaan tha. Woh uski rag-rag se waqif thi. Zaroor koi kaaran raha hoga jiski wajah se woh iss tarah ghar se gaya tha. Woh jald se jald uske aane ke baad ye sab kuch puchna chaahti thi.

Filhaal, woh dono bas yaha se uske liye sahaara hi bann sakti thi. Rahi baat Nidhi ki toh use pata lag chuka tha ki Veer ghar se bina bataye kahi nikal chuka hai. Ye ladka hamesha use tension me daal deta tha.

Aur, hamesha Diwali ka hi samay hota tha jab jab woh ghar se dur chala jaaya karta tha. Kuch hi dino me Diwali aane waali thi. Aur, Veer ke exams bhi. Kya Veer ko inki parvaah bhi thi?

Kabhi kabhi woh khud ko bhi dosh diya karti. Jab tak college me thi toh woh kam se kam Veer ko college aane ke liye mana leti thi. Par, jab se usne khud ne college se leave li thi uske baad se woh Veer pe utna dhyaan nahi de paa rahi thi.

Use woh pal yaad aaya. Jab abhi haal hi me Veer Shreya aur Aabha ko Tamanna ke saath tour par bhejne uske ghar aaya tha. Use yaad aaya ki woh kuch kehna chaah raha tha. Magar kya?

Kya woh jaane se pehle bye kehne aaya tha?? Ye dhyaan me aate hi Nidhi ko apne dil me ek dard hua. Woh yaha use ek baar bye kehne aaya tha par uske khud ke ravaiyye ne Veer ke mann me hich-kichahat paida kar di thi. Jis wajah se woh bina apna muh khole hi waha se ravana ho gaya tha.

‘Veer-!!!’

Use yaad kar woh bas khud ko hi dosh dene lagi. Kabhi kabhi woh itni sakht kyu ho jaati thi uske khilaaf?

Toh wahi Veer ki maasi Purvi ke bhi kuch yahi milte julte vichaar the. Uss din kya hua tha? Purvi ne apna stann-paan karwaya tha Veer ko. Aur, uske pehle usne apne ghar se use nikaal diya tha.

Ye itna badlaav akhir aaya kaise? Woh samajh chuki thi ki Veer uske jeevan aur dil me bas ek ladka nahi tha. Jaise woh Bhavna ka baccha tha wese hi woh uska bhi tha. Purvi ka mann lalcha raha tha. Woh ek baar fir use apne seene se laga ke use stann-paan karwana chaahti thi.

Woh jaanti thi ki ye sab galat hai, zyada aage nahi badh sakti thi. Isliye, itni seema achhi thi. Ye seema nahi laanghni thi. Aur, isi ke antargat reh ke woh sab kuch mehsoos karna chaahti thi.

‘Ohh Bhavna! M-Mujhe maaf karna! Par, mein ab khud ko nahi rok sakti. Mujhe ek baar fir woh mehsoos karna hai, jo maine uss din mehsoos kiya tha. Akhir…! Mera bhi Veer pe utna hi haq hai jitna tumhara hai. Tum hi kaha karti thi. Hai na?’

Sochte hue woh apne kinhi vichaaro me leena ho gayi.

Li Renshu’s house,
Panzhihua, Sichuan Province,
China, Morning ~ 7:54 AM

Subah jaise hi hui, chidiyo ki cheh-chahahat Veer ke kaano me padi. Shetra hi aisa tha ki chidiyo ka yaha aana swabhavik tha. Veer aankhein malte hue utha. Iss ilaake me raat me thand ka mahaul rehta tha. Jangal se juda hua jo tha. Blanket ko side kar woh zameen par bichhaaye gaye gadde se utha aur haath muh dhone chal diya.

Raat me Renshu ne uske saamne prashn rakha tha. Kya woh uski madad karega? Zaahir hai, Veer ne woh sweekar kar liya tha. Woh peeche nahi hatt sakta tha. Renshu ne uski jaan tab bachayi thi jab woh marrne ki kagaar par tha. Aise me, woh ab apna muh nahi ferr sakta tha.

[Well! I guess ab hume kuch strategy pre-plan kar leni chahiye. What do you think?]

Woh sheeshe ke saamne brush hi kar raha tha jab Pari ki awaaz uske mann me goonji. Usne apne aap ko iss daldal me jaan ke daala tha. Toh iss se baahar nikalne ke liye bhi uske paas kam se kam pehle se kuch rann-neetiya honi hi chahiye. Pari ka sujhaav yahi tha.

‘Pre-plan? Kiske liye?’

[Of course, Legion ke uss leader ke liye. Jaw Long!]

‘Aur tumhe itna yakeen kyu hai ki hum uss se bhidenge?’

[Because agar ye masla sirf bol chaal se hi hal ho jaata toh Renshu hume yaha nahi bulata.]

‘Still…! Uss Jaw Long se hum mile nahi hai. Hume kuch bhi nahi pata hai ki woh kaisa dikhta hai, kya skills hai uske paas. Aise me hum uske khilaaf koi plan kaise bana sakte hai?’

[Then ask na!!! Renshu se pucho. Zaroor use kuch na kuch toh pata hi hoga.]

‘Hmm!’

[Remember! Knowledge is power! Jitni information tumhare paas baakiyo se zyada rahegi, utna hi tum unse aage rahoge.]

‘Hmm!’

Haami bhar Veer baahar ko aaya. Usne sabse pehle apna phone check kiya. Toh usne dekha ki WhatsApp par kayi saare messages dale hue the. Jinme se sabse zyada Kavya ke hi the. Woh samajh gaya tha ki uski ye chhoti behan zaroor use khari-khoti sunayi hogi. Usne Kavya ki chat filhaal open nahi ki. Tej ke do messages dale hue the. Veer ne unhe khola toh dekha-

“Bhai! Hamari clothing brand ke liye naam aur logo decide ho gaya hai. Also, Karan ne building bhi provide karwa di hai. Aur, sab workers ke saath sab kuch waha shift bhi hone laga hai. Brand name maine aur Bhumika Didi ne milke final kiya hai. Agar, tumhe kuch aur rakhna hai toh tum bata dena.”

Iss message ke saath neeche ek photo bhi attached thi. Veer ne jab use khol ke dekha toh uske saamne Brand logo tha~




‘Wow!!!’

Woh hairaan tha.

‘Yarnia!?’

[Hmm! I love that name!]

‘Me too!’

Ye naam bahut pyaara tha. Yarnia naam ‘yarn’ shabd se liya gaya tha jaha ‘yarn’ ka matlab dhaaga ya soot hota tha. Kapde toh fibres yaani ki dhaage se hi bante the. Naam aiwai nahi decide kar liya tha uski behno ne. Kaafi samay laga hoga unhe ye sab sochne me. Veer ke hontho par ye sochte hi ek muskaan aa gayi.

Kitne jorr shorr se uske liye sabhi waha par kaam me lage hue the. Usne bas ek thumbs up ka message bheja aur WhatsApp band kar diya. Tabhi, uski nazar ek notification par padi.

Tunecrafts released a new track.

‘Huh!?’

Veer ne jaise hi use khola, YouTube par ek gaana play hone laga.

‘What!??’

Gaana Tunecrafts ke channel se tha. Yaani ki Ava ki company. Par ye kaise ho sakta tha? Ava ke gumshuda hone ke baad Tunecrafts ne track release karna band kar diya tha kyuki company singer ki talaash me lagi hui thi. Unka aur bhi dusra channel tha jaha par woh naye singers ke gaane release kar rahe the.

Par, Ava ke ghum hone ke baad se hi iss channel par koi bhi track release nahi kiya gaya tha. Aur, fir achanak se ye~

Gaana Veer ne play kiya, aur uske bol sunte hi ek aur jhatka use laga. Ye awaaz-!!! Ava ki hi thi~

The moonshine… casts me…
It’s hard to breathe…
Mmm-hmm~
What a foul place… to be…
I can’t be free…
Mmm-hmm~

Time feels like a frozen leaf,
And now our misery…
What do you expect me to see?
I’m falling… for you…!?

Dear God… you give.. such a…
Misguided love…!

The amount of prayers…
The madness drapes…

Listen… to… your… heart…!​

‘Huh!!!?’

Gaane ke ek ek bol sunn Veer ke badan me ruye khade ho chuke the. Ava ki awaaz me ye jaadu tha. Video ek lyrical video tha. Gaana ka bhaav kya tha woh awaaz aur uske bol bayaa kar rahe the. Agar ye track Tunecrafts ne release nahi kiya tha. Toh fir kaun ho sakta tha? Khud Ava!?

‘Just where the hell are you…!? Ava…!?’

Woh iss baare me aur kuch sochta ki tabhi waha par Erica aa dhamki.

Erica : It’s good to see ki kam se kam tum aalsi nahi ho.

Veer (glances) : Tumhara matlab-!?

Erica : Mujhe laga tha tum derr tak sote rahoge aur fir late uth ke kahoge ki mein late soya tha isliye derr se utha. But, dekh ke accha laga ki tumhe kuch toh parvah hai at least-!

Veer : Mein yaha wese bhi sone nahi aaya hu.

Erica : That’s good to hear. Follow me! Dad ne bulaaya hai!

Aur, woh use waha se leke neeche ki orr chali gayi jaha ek main hall me Renshu apni gaddi waali seat par virajman tha. Veer ko kaafi kuch jankaari praapt ho chuki thi. Kuch aur dheele dhaago ko use kass ke baandhna tha.

Renshu : Aao Veer!

Veer : So? Aage ka kya plan hai?

Renshu : Government ki orr se ek official yaha aane waale hai. Mein chahta hu tum yahi reh ke sab kuch suno.

Veer : Are you sure about that?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Mujhe tum par yakeen hai.

Apne Dad ki iss baat par ek baar fir Erica use ajeeb nigaaho se dekhi aur ye sochne par majboor ho gayi ki akhir Veer me aisa tha kya?

Veer : Well… If you insist!

Aur, zyada samay nahi laga jab ek aadmi badhiya sa suit pehne waha hall ke andar aaya. Renshu kisi raaja ke samaan waha gaddi par baitha hua tha. Uske saamne aate hi uss government ke official ne pehle vinamtra se ek baar sarr jhuka ke Renshu ko greet kiya.

Veer harr detail ko apne dimag me baitha raha tha. Matlab ye baat sach thi ki Renshu ki chhavi government me acchi thi. Sarkari log bhi uske saamne izzat se pesh aa rahe the.

Jaise hi uss official ki nazar Veer par padi, woh thoda chaunka aur fir bauhe uthaate hue Renshu ko dekh bola,

Official : Ye kaun hai?

Renshu : Uski chinta aap mat kariye. Ye hamaare mehmaan hai. Pita ji ke inke pita ji ke saath puraane taluqaat the. Ye yaha par kuch kaam se aaye the business ke liye. Toh maine hi inhe apne ghar par theherne ke liye bulwaya hai.

Safed jhooth! Aur, Veer jaanta tha ki ye kyu bola jaa raha tha.

Official : Inhe chinese bhi aati hai kya?

Renshu : Jii nahi! Ye India se hai! Inhe chinese nahi aati. Aap befiqr hoke boliye.

Official (frowns) : Jab inhe chinese nahi aati, toh inhe toh baat wese hi samajh nahi aayegi. Toh kya ye behtar nahi hai ki aap inhe baahar bhej de?

‘Ohhh!’

Veer mann hi mann impressed tha. Iss official ki baat sahi thi.

Renshu (frowns) : Agar aap ko abhi bhi koi sanshay hai toh mein aapko sunishchit karta hu. Yaha hui ek bhi baat, inn chaar deewaaro ke baahar nahi jayegi. Ye meri Li Renshu ki jawabdari hai. Aur, agar fir bhi yakeen nahi hai toh aap apne bade sahab ko bhejiye. Baat tabhi aage badhegi.

Renshu ki baat sunn, official ke paseene chhooth gaye. Woh jaanta tha ki Renshu se sambandh bigaadna matlab khud ke perr par kulhadi maarna.

Official : A-Arre! Haha! Arre aap toh bura maan gaye. M-Mera matlab woh nahi tha.

Woh nakli muskaan liye apni baat ko sambhaalne ki koshish kiya. Par, uske iss mukhaute ko na sirf Veer balki Renshu aur Erica bhi pehchaan gaye the. Erica uske ravaiyye ko ghinauna maan use be-mann se sunti rahi. Magar, fir bhi woh baat karne me hich-kichahat mehsoos kar raha tha. Veer ne dekha ki aise toh baat nahi badh rahi hai toh woh khud hi bol pada,

Veer : I’ll wander around for a bit. You should discuss the important matter first.

Renshu kahi na kahi official ke iss bartaav se gusse me tha. Veer uska mehmaan tha. Aur, mehmaan ko hi baahar khada karna pad raha tha.

Renshu : Veer! Wait!

Jab uss official ne dekha ki Veer angrezi me baat kar raha tha toh kahi na kahi use raahat mili. Woh sochne laga ki shayad Veer ko sach me chinese nahi aati thi. Aur, Veer aur Renshu English me hi communicate karte the. Par, wo bechaara toh asli sach se kosso dur tha.

Veer ki nazre neeche thi. Woh chup chaap hall se nikal baahar jaane laga. Erica jo wahi khadi thi, jab Veer uske bagal se nikla toh pata nahi kyu use aaj uske liye accha nahi laga.

Renshu jaise samajh gaya tha ki Veer ka kya plan tha. Usne turant hi Erica ko dekh ishara kiya. Aur, Erica bhi jaise turant hi bhaanp gayi. Usne haami bhar apne Dad ko aasvashan diya.

Renshu : Aap baithiye! Aur, ab apni baat kahiye!

Uss official ne haami bhari. Wahi paas ki seat par Renshu ne baithne ka kaha toh woh wahi par baith gaya. Ek rumaal nikaalte hue usne apne maathe aur gaal par se paseena pocha. Aur, fir bolna shuru kiya-

Official : Halaat battar hote jaa rahe hai!

Renshu (nods) : Mein jaanta hu.

Official : Aap jaante hai ki hum waha itne andar jaane se darr kyu rahe hai?

Renshu : Kyuki, Army ke do logo ko tribe ke logo ne adhmara kar ke bheja tha?

Official (nods) : Bilkul sahi kaha. Ye toh haal ki hi ghatna thi. Iske kuch mahine pehle jab sarkaar ki taraf se kuch officials samjhauta karne gaye the tab bhi unhe dara dhamka ke bhaga diya gaya tha.

Renshu : Hmm!

Baahar Veer aa zaroor gaya tha. Magar-

*Ding*

[Beowulf’s Blessings has been activated.]

Uski aankhon par laal rang ki parat chadh gayi. Uske senses badh chuke the. Hearing senses bhi. Andar kahi jaa rahi harr ek baat use saaf saaf sunaayi de rahi thi.

Official ki baat par Veer ke mann me kayi sawaal the jo woh puchna chaahta tha. Magar, woh puch nahi sakta tha. Kyuki, woh baahar jo aa chuka tha. Uski pareshani jaise Erica ne dur kar di~

Erica : Hmph! Hamari sarkaar ko kya ho gaya hai? Aap sab toh badi deenge haakte the na? Ki hamari sarkaar bahut mazboot hai. Bahut taqatwar hai. Ab kya hua fauj ko? Andar ghus ke tribe ke logo ko maza kyu nahi chakha dete? Itni kyu phatt rahi hai fauj ki??

Agar, ye baat akeli Erica ne kahi hoti uss official ne accha khaasa jawaab de diya hota. Magar, saamne Renshu baitha hua tha. Chaah ke bhi woh badtameezi se pesh nahi aa sakta tha.

Official : Kyuki, ye jitna saral lagta hai utna hai nahi.

Erica : Zara samjhayenge!? Ki sarkaar fauj ko order kyu nahi de rahi hai?

Official : Samjhata hu! Dekhiye! Tribe ke log bhale hi iss waqt virodh kar rahe hai, magar woh hamare China ke hi niwasi hai.

Erica : Toh hum unhe isliye maar nahi sakte. Hai na?

Official : Bilkul sahi!

Erica : Unhe bandhi toh bana sakte hai na? Poori ki poori ek force taiyaar kar ke andar bhej do. Aur, unhe bandhi bana ke unhe jail me daal do.

Erica inn sab ke uttar pehle se hi jaanti thi. Magar, uske inn prashno ko puchne ka ek hi maqsad tha. Woh tha baahar khade Veer ko jankaari dena.

Official : Aisa kaise kar sakte hai? Dekhiye! Hume mine ko waapas se hathiyaana hai. Army ko andar bheja, toh saath hi saath hathyaar bhi andar jayenge. Mine ke aas paas zara bhi visfot ya kuch bhi hua, iss se poori ki poori mine khatre me aa jayegi.

Erica : Hmm!

Official : Mine toh haath se jayegi hi upar se hamare fauji log bhi chotil honge, aur tribe ke log alag.

Erica : I see!

Official : Aur sirf itna hi nahi-! Jangal ka kya? Agar jangal me aag lagti hai toh? Use kaun bujhayega? Wildfire ko kaise rokenge? Aur toh aur janwaro ka kya? Waha andar vibhinn janwar bhi rehte hai. Warna agar fauj se hi kaam lena hota toh humne air strike na kar di hoti pehle hi?

Renshu : Toh? Abhi kya news hai?

Official : News aisi hai ki sarkaar ne ye zimmedari aapko saunpi hai.

Renshu : Hmm?

Official : Government chaahti hai ki aap ise apne dhang se sarkaar ke naam karwao. Agar khoon kharaba hota hai toh wo bhi chalega.

Erica (frowns) : Abhi toh aapne kaha ki khoon kharaba nahi ho sakta aur ab-

Offical (grins) : Ahaha! Woh kya hai na-! Sarkaar nahi chaahti ki fauj ki image iss tarah ghuspeth kar ke kharab ho. Par already orders aa gaye hai.

Renshu : Kya matlab?

Official : Minister of Internal Affairs ki orr se aur Minister of Forest and Environment Development ne strict orders pass kar diye hai. Saara matter aapke haatho me hai.

Renshu (frowns) : Tumhara matlab-!?

Official (smirks) : Ohh yes!! Yes Yes! Aap chaahe toh unhe khatam kar sakte hai. Sarkaar kuch nahi kehne waali. Yaha tak ki aapke naam aur image ko bachaane ki zimmedari bhi hamari hai.

Erica ye sunte hi gusse se laal ho gayi.

Erica (yells) : Kaali kartoot tum humse karwao. Khoon se haath hamare rangwao aur khud mahapurush bann ke janta ke saamne waah waahi batoro? Who gave you the right???

Official : Maaf kijiyega Miss! Mein toh bas ek messenger ki tarah hu. Mera kaam tha aapko jankari dena. Jo maine de di hai.

Erica : Agar aukaat hai toh fauj bhej ke khud kyu nahi le lete saari mine?

Official : I’m sorry but ye sarkar nahi karna chahti.

Erica : Toh hum bhi nahi karna chaahte. Jaa sakte ho yaha se.

Official : I’m sorry Miss lekin agar aapne ye zimmedari lene se mana kiya toh-

Renshu (frowns) : Toh??

Official : Toh shayad aapko ye property kahi gawaani na pad jaaye.

Erica ki aankhein ye sunn felti chali gayi.

Erica (shocked) : Y-You-!!!! Government ko itna sab dene ke bawajood bhi-! Aakhir himmat kaise hui Dad ke khilaaf iss tarah ke orders rakhne ki unn sab ki?

Renshu : Erica-!!!

Erica : Kisne diye hai orders? Naam batao mujhe! Aur, leke chalo. Tum logo se toh mein khud baat karungi. Bhala hum kyu iss jhamele me beech me fass rahe hai? Aur-

Renshu (screams) : Ericaaaaa!!!!!

Zordaar dahaad jab Renshu ke muh se nikli toh Erica ka badan wahi thitur ke jamm gaya. Aur toh aur uss official ki bhi haalat kharab ho gayi.

Renshu : Kya yahi orders hai?

Official (nods) : J-Jii! D-Dekhiye! M-Mein to bas jankari dene aaya tha. Government aapke yogadaano ko jaanti hai. Magar, iss waqt govt. khud bhi fasi hui hai. Ye maamla behtar hai agar dono ‘Order’ aur ‘Legion’ ke beech hoye.

Renshu : …

Official : Govt. ki zimmedari hai ki woh ‘Order’ ki image kharab nahi hone degi. Saath hi agar mine ko hathiyaane me Order qamyab hota hai toh- Shayad govt. inaam ke roop me kuch bada dede?

Erica : Tch!!!

Renshu : Tum jaa sakte ho!

Official : Huh!?

Renshu : Ministers se kehna ki Order ne iski zimmedari le li hai. Aur, ab Order ise apne dhang se dekhega. Koi bhi dakhal andaazi beech me nahi chahiye.

Official mann hi mann behad prasann ho gaya. Jo kaam woh karne aaya tha woh safal ho chuka tha.

Official : H-Haha! Th-Thank you! M-Mein abhi jaa ke khabar deta hu. Govt. ki taraf se jo bhi madad chahiye, woh govt. dene taiyaar hai. Lekin, frontline me aapko hi rehna hoga.

Renshu : Koi zaroorat nahi hai. Jaisa ki maine kaha… Koi dakhal andazi nahi chahiye. Tum jaa sakte ho.

Official : J-Jii! Haha!

Aur, woh waha se sarpat nikal gaya. Uske jaate hi Veer wapas andar aaya. Renshu ke liye toh sarkaar izzat rakhti thi. Fir ye kya tha?

Veer ne jaise hi Erica ko dekha toh Erica ne apni nazre ferr li. Badi tareef karti thi woh ki China ke govt. ke log bhi uske Dad ke saamne maatha tekte hai. Toh ab ye kya tha? Ab bhala woh kaise muh dikha sakti thi Veer ko?

Par, Veer ke shabdo ne uske chehre par hairaangi laa di.

Veer : It’s okay! Looks like, govt. khud khoon kharaabe aur loss se bachne ki koshish kar rahi hai. Unhe mine bhi chahiye hai, aur loss bhi nahi jhelna hai. A perfect plan by a government.

Veer ke muh se kahi par bhi Renshu ke liye koi bhi burayi nahi nikli aur na hi usne Erica ka koi mazaak banaya. Erica halka muh khole use jigyaasa me bagal se dekhti rahi.

Renshu (sighs) : Ab tumhe samajh aaya na ki kya chal raha hai?

Veer : Hmm! Ek sawaal ye hai mera ki akhir tribe waalo ne ye mine ko hathiyana kab se shuru kiya?

Renshu : Kareeban pichle saal se…!

Veer : Hmm! Yaani ki iske pehle sab kuch normal tha?

Renshu : Haan!

Veer : Aur pichle saal se sab badalne laga. Akhir kya reason raha hoga? Mine ko agar woh poora hathiyaa rahe hai toh iska matlab toh yahi hua ki woh radioactive elements ke liye badh rahe hai. Magar kyu-!? Huh!!!! Ek second-!

Renshu : ???

Veer : K-Kahi! Jaw Long ko koi radioactive elements se judi skill toh nahi mil gayi?

Uske sawaal par dono Renshu aur Erica stabdh reh gaye.

Erica : I-It might be-! Dad!! Ye reason ho sakta hai.

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!

Erica : L-Lekin-! Unka purpose kya hai?

Veer : Maybe-! ‘Order’ ko khatam karna?

Ek baar fir, Veer ke uttar par dono Renshu aur Erica khamosh reh gaye. Kyuki, Veer ki baat sahi saabit ho sakti thi.

***

Night~ 9:10 PM

Raat ka samay ho chuka tha. Dinner kar ke Veer, Erica aur Renshu sab fursat ho chuke the. Woh sabhi ek jagah par baithe halke kambal odhe aapas me baat hi kar rahe the jab achanak hi-

“Huhhh!!??”

Erica akasmat hi kambal ko fek satark hoke khadi ho gayi. Uski nazre gate par daudi aur tabhi-

Erica (yells) : Dad!!!!

*Craaaaasssshhhhhh*

*Whoooooosssshhhhh*

Ek lambi si sui khidki ke sheeshe ko todte hue andar tezz raftaar ke saath ghusi aur seedha waha rakhi mombatti ki lau ke aar paar hote hue deewar me dhass gayi.

Sui ki itni tezz raftaar ke chalte mombatti uske hawa ke jhoke ke chalte bhuj gayi.

*Whoooossshhhh*

*Whooossshhhhh*

Ek ek kar waha saari mombatti bujhti chali gayi. Veer aur baaki sabhi hairat me the. Itne shor ke bawajood Renshu ka koi bhi aadmi madad karne ke liye andar nahi aaya.

*Whooossshhh*

Jaise hi ek aur sui Renshu ke paas rakhi mombatti ko bujhaane ke liye tezz raftaar se aayi tabhi-

*Claaaaaanggggg*

Kisi thos cheez se takraate hue woh sui upar hawa me ghoomte hue neeche gir gayi. Renshu samet Veer apni apni jagah par khade ho chuke the. Andar bas ab ek hi mombatti jal rahi thi. Aur, baahar se aa rahi chaand ki roshni-

Bas itna hi ujaala tha.

Renshu ne apne ek lakdi ke dande se uss mombatti ko bujhne se bacha liya tha.

*Ding*

[Beowulf’s Blessings has been activated.]

Aur tabhi-

*Craaaasssshhhh*

Darwaaze ko cheerte hue ek saaya andar aaya. Jaise hi raushni uske chehre par padi. Veer ke saath saath Erica ki aankhein hairat me fel gayi. Siwae Renshu ke…!

Kyuki, woh ye sui ko pehchaan chuka tha. Aur woh uss saamne khade shaks ko dekh zorr se chillaaya,

Renshu : Garofano!!!!!

Veer khud stabdh tha.

‘Garofano!? Y-Yaha!? Wh-What?’

Garofano (screams) : Li Renshuuuu!!! Was it you!!???

Renshu ki aankhein kisi predator ki tarah Garofano par tainat thi. Toh wahi Garofano ki aankhon par hare rang ki parat chadhi hui thi. Lag raha tha jaise ek naagin andhere me apne shikaaro ko ghoor rahi ho.

Aur agle hi pal-

*Whooossshhh*

Garofano hawa ke jhoke ke samaan apni jagah se aage badhi…

*Swooossshhh*

Toh wahi Renshu apni jagah se ek pal me gaayab ho gaya.

Renshu ka ek haath mutthi kass ke seedhe Garofano ke jabde par maarne ke liye aaya aur tabhi-

*Dodge*

Garofano apni baayi orr mudi. Renshu ka mukka hawa ko cheerte hue Garofano ke muh se ek inch ki duri se nikal gaya. Par, uska haath guzar hi raha tha ki-

*Swooossshhh*

Na jaane kaha se Garofano ne apne haath me ek 15 cm lambi sui nikaali aur seedhe Renshu ke gale ki orr fek dii. Itni nazdeek se uss sui ko rokna Renshu ke liye namumkin tha. Woh sui Renshu ke gale ki chamdi ko cheerte hue ghusne hi waali thi jab-

Erica (screams) : Daaddddd!!!

*Ding*

[Hawkeye]

*Whooossshhh*

Ek chammach udte hue uss sui ki doguni raftaar se aage aayi aur seedhe sui se takra gayi. Sui aur chammach aapas ki matbhed me ghoomte hue idhar udhar jaa gire.

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Iss se pehle ki Garofano aur Renshu punah ek dusre ke upar focused ho paate-

*Whooooosssshhhh*

Ek haath ne unn dono ke haath ko baari baari mazboot jakad me thaam liya. Aur, koi unn dono ke beech aa gaya.

“Tum me se ab kisi aur ne fir haath uthaaya…! Toh accha nahi hoga.”

Mega Update

[Note : Update itminaan se sambhal ke aur araam se padhna. Warna confusion hoga.]

Update - 171 ~ Who's lying? (1)​

Ab tak...

Ek chammach udte hue uss sui ki doguni raftaar se aage aayi aur seedhe sui se takra gayi. Sui aur chammach aapas ki matbhed me ghoomte hue idhar udhar jaa gire.

*Ding*

[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]

Iss se pehle ki Garofano aur Renshu punah ek dusre ke upar focused ho paate-

*Whooooosssshhhh*

Ek haath ne unn dono ke haath ko baari baari mazboot jakad me thaam liya. Aur, koi unn dono ke beech aa gaya.

“Tum me se ab kisi aur ne fir haath uthaaya…! Toh accha nahi hoga.”

Ab aage...

Khamoshi!

Kamre ke andar 4 system holders maujood the magar uske bawajood waha sannaata fela hua tha. Erica ekdum stabdh, ankhein chaudi aur muh khole wahi murti ki tarah jami hui khadi thi.

Sab kuch palak jhapakte hue tha. Garofano ka iss tarah hamla karna ek hairaani waali baat toh thi hi par uss se bhi zyada hairaangi use Veer ko unn dono ke beech khade unn dono ko thaame hue dekh ke hui thi.

Idhar Garofano Veer ko pehli nazar me dekh ke chaunki thi. Akhir Veer yaha kya kar raha tha? Magar, use turant hi agle pal ye dhyaan aa gaya ki Casa Belle me usne uss raat Veer ke sang baat ki thi. Zaahir hai Veer yaha uss card ki wajah se aaya tha.

Card toh use bhi praapt hua tha. Par, aaj wo yaha madad karne ke liye nahi aayi thi. Uske iraade toh kuch aur hi the.

Uski aankhon par hare rang ki parat chadhi hui thi. Aur, andhere me wo aankhein aisi prateet ho rahi thi jaise maano ek saanp jhaadiyo me chhipe apne shikaar ko ghoor raha ho.

Woh Veer ko dekhi aur utne hi gusse me boli,

Garofano : Veeeeer!!! Beech me se hatt jao. Ye mere aur Renshu ke beech ka maamla hai. Tumhara isme koi role nahi hai. Get lost!!!

Veer : Role ho chaahe na ho. Now that I'm here...! I won't let you guys fight each other.

Garofano (frowns) : Tch!!! Veeeerr!!!

Iss baar Veer ki aankhein gusse me Garofano ke upar padi.

Veer : STAY PUT!!!

Aur jaise Intimidating Presence ne apna kaam kar diya. Veer ki aankhon ko dekh ek sihran Garofano ki poore badan me fel gayi. Aisa ehsaas hua ki agar usne Veer ki baat nahi maani toh zaroor kuch galat ghatit ho jayega.

Uski pakad apne aap dheeli ho gayi. Woh neeche ki orr dekhi. Apne iraado ko wo badal chuki thi. Haar maante hue usne khud ko dheela chorr diya. Aur, idhar Veer ne use aisa karte dekh uski kalaayi bhi chorr di.

Magar, uss par se dhyaan nahi hataaya. Woh dekh raha tha ki kahi Garofano fir se hamla toh nahi karegi. Par, Garofano ki aankhon se hare rang ki parat bhi ab chhat chuki thi.

Garofano : H-He-!! He was the one-!!!

Veer ne idhar Renshu ki kalaayi bhi chorr di. Woh Garofano ki orr muda. Haath choothate hi Renshu ne apne sarr ke temple par se paseene ki boond ko alag kiya. Use kuch anubhooti hui. Ye ladka...! Veer...!

Apni kalaayi ko usne dekha. 4 ungliyo ke nishaan uski kalaayi par chhaap chorr gaye the. Nishaan aisa ki uske utne hisse ki twacha andar dabb chuki thi.

Apni daadhi ko malte hue woh Veer ko gaur se dekhne laga. Toh wahi idhar Garofano ka virodh ekdum hi khatam ho chuka tha.

Garofano : S-Sirf tumhare liye Veer-!! M-Mein khud ko shaant kar rahi hu. Warna mein-

Erica : Warna mein? Warna mein kya? Ye tumhara playground nahi hai madam ki jab chaaha tab chali aayi aur-

Garofano ki nigaahein agle hi shan Erica par padi. Aankhein punaah chatak hari ho chuki thi. Aur, bolte bolte Erica beech me hi rukk gayi. Maathe par ghabrahat ki lakeere chhaa gayi. Gale me atka thook nigalte hue woh aage kuch na bol saki. Aur, Garofano dobara se wapas normal ho gayi.

Woh ahista ahista chalte hue deewaar ke paas gayi. Aur, jin sui ko usne feka tha unhe deewar me se baari baari nikaalne lagi. Saari sui deewar me dhass chuki thi.

Veer : Koi kuch batayega ki ye sab chal kya raha hai? Garofano? Renshu?

Veer ke prashn par Garofano turant palti. Uski aankhon me firse krodh tha.

Garofano : Tum apne iss pyaare dost se kyu nahi puchte Veer?

Uska ishara Renshu ki orr tha.

Garofano : Pucho iss se ki isne kya kiya hai. T-Tumhe pata hai mein abhi kaha se aa rahi hu?

Veer : Huh?

Garofano : Jail se!!!

Veer : What???

Garofano : That's right! Jail se bhaag ke aa rahi hu.

Veer : Tum jail me kya kar rahi thi?

Garofano : Pucho iss se. Ye batayega tumhe!

Veer ne jaise hi Renshu ki orr dekha toh Renshu sakhti me unn sab ko hi ghoor raha tha.

Renshu : Iski bakwas baato me aane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Ye Jail gayi thi kyuki isne murder kiya hai. Aur, lagta hai hume ise pakad ke wapas police ko saupna padega.

Woh aage do qadam jaise hi badhaaya, Garofano ke haatho me punah ek lambi sui aa gayi. Hamle ke liye taiyaar,

Garofano (glares) : Then try me you fucker...!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Veer (shouts) : SHUT UP!!!!

*Silence*

Ek baar fir khamoshi chha gayi. Veer ne ek gehri lambi saans li.

Veer : Koi bhi nahi ladega. Renshu!!! I want to hear your side first.

Renshu : Isme bataane waala kuch nahi Veer. Sach tumhare saamne hai. Mr. Nicholson ki abhi haal hi me hatya hui hai.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson!? Jab mein yaha aa raha tha tab maine radio me iss news ke baare me suna tha.

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Toh mujhe aur vistaar se samjhaane do Veer. Mr. Nicholson darasal Korea ke ek bahut bade business man the. Unka aana jaana China me laga rehta tha kyuki unka jitna business waha hai, utna hi yaha bhi.

Veer : I see!

Renshu : Lekin 3 din pehle hi unki laash paayi gayi thi. Aur isme koi shaq nahi ki unhe kisne maara hai. Autopsy ki report par pata chala ki maut ko sunishchit karne ke liye ek poison inject kiya gaya tha. Aur, aisa poison kisi ne kabhi nahi dekha hai. Ye naye kism ka poison tha.

Veer : Naye kism ka!?

Renshu : Hmm! Aisa poison jo ek system owner hi bana sakta hai.

Kehte hue Renshu ki nazre Garofano par gayi. Aur, Garofano use iss tarah apni orr ghoorte paa kar dekh gusse me gurraayi.

Garofano (glares) : Tsk!!

Renshu : Aur, ab asli sach suno Veer. Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita the. Isne apne hi pita ko maara hai.

Garofano (screams) : Ye jhooth hai-!!!

Renshu (shouts) : Yahi sach hai!!!

Veer : !!??

Renshu : Veer!! Ye ladki kisi bhi hadd tak jaa sakti hai. Tum wo sui dekh rahe ho? Uske haatho me?? Zara dhyaan se dekho unhe. Unki nok ko...!

Renshu ki baat par Veer ne apni nazre daudayi aur Garofano ke haatho me maujood unn sui ki nok ko usne dekha.

*Tip*

'Huh!!??'

Aur use abhaas hua. Sui par se geele padaarth ki ek boond fisalte hue neeche zameen par giri.

Poison!!!

Renshu : Dekha na Veer? Yahi wo poison hai. Iss zeher ki vidhi sirf iss ladki ke paas hai. Yahi zeher Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya tha.

Veer : Ohh!?

Renshu : Mujhe aur samjhaane ki zaroorat nahi hai Veer. Samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai. Jo zeher sirf ye ladki bana sakti hai, wahi zeher agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me paaya gaya hai toh iska kya matlab hua? Kya tumhe ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha? Ya fir ye kahe ki ek system owner ko kisi ne murkh bana diya?

Garofano (growls) : You liar-!!!!

Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Renshu saaf saaf uske saamne sab kuch rakh raha tha. Isme koi shaq nahi tha ki autopsy ki report jo Renshu ne batayi thi, agar Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me Garofano ka poison paaya gaya tha aur saath hi wahi poison wo apni sui par laga ke chalti thi. Toh 90% chances the ki hatya Garofano ne hi ki thi. Lekin, batayi gayi report jhoothi bhi toh ho sakti thi. Renshu jhooth bhi toh bol sakta tha.

Veer aankhein moond ke kisi bhi faisle par nahi utarna chaahta tha. Ek pal ke liye uske badan me ek sihran daud gayi. Garofano ke baare me use nayi jankari praapt hui thi.

Woh ek naye kism ka zeher bhi bana sakti thi? Sui par uss zeher ko lagana aur unse vaar karna. Ye ek alag kism ka ladne ka tareeka tha. Jitna ye alag tha utna hi jaanleva bhi. Use yaad aaya ki kuch derr pehle wahi hamla uske upar hua tha. Kismat acchi thi jo woh sui uske shareer me nahi jaa paayi. Warna-

[She's interesting.]

Pari ki awaaz uske mann me aayi. Woh bhi Garofano ko parakh rahi thi.

Veer : Tumhe ye sab kaise pata chala Renshu? Autopsy ki report bhala tumhare haath kaise lagi? Aur, tum ye kaise keh sakte ho ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai? Kya tum koi reason de sakte ho ki Garofano ne apne hi pita ko kyu maara?

Veer ne aise sawaal rakhe jinse kaafi kuch haath lag sakta tha. Ab dekhna ye tha ki Renshu kya jankari deta hai.

Renshu (sighs) : Veer! Autopsy ki report ke baare me jaanana koi badi baat nahi hai. Tum bhi ek system owner ho. Maine Erica ko bheja tha report haasil karne ke liye. Ye pata lagaane ke liye ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me wo zeher kis prakaar ka tha.

Veer : Aur Erica ko tumne kyu bheja?

Renshu : Kyuki, mein pehle se jaanta tha Veer ki Mr. Nicholson Garofano ke pita hai. Ab agar ekdum se unki hatya ho jaaye aur wo bhi aise zeher se jiske baare me aadmi jaanta na ho toh kya tumhare andar shaq nahi paida hoga? Mere andar bhi hua tha. Isliye maine Erica ko bheja tha.

Veer : Hmm! Aur tumhara ye kehna ki Garofano ne hi hatya ki hai?

Renshu : Bilkul! Iske alawa aur kaun ho sakta hai? Mera Mr. Nicholson se koi lena dena nahi hai. Na hi Erica ka. Na hi tumhara. Aur na hi Tribal Leader Jaw Long ka. Toh kaun bachta hai system owner me? Ye ladki!!!

Veer : Kya reason de sakte ho tum mujhe? Kyu maara Garofano ne?

Renshu : Sampatti Veer!!! Athaay sampatti!! Itni sampatti ki tum note ki gaddiyo ka ek mahal banwa lo. Balki, aur zyaada. Laalach acche accho ko galat kaam karne ke liye majboor kar deta hai.

Veer : Really? Paisa?

Renshu : Will Veer! Harr Ameer insaan apni ek will bana ke jaata hai. Mr. Nicholson ki maut ke baad ye sab kuch charcha me hai ki unki ek will bhi thi.

Veer : Kaisi will?

Renshu : Yahi ki unki saari sampatti, unki beti ko jaati hai. Par, will bhala kis kaam ki? Agar, insaan zinda bana rahe toh? Isliye, isne apne hi pita ka qatl kar diya.

Veer : Really? Just for some money? I don't think-

Renshu : Ek toh yeh kaaran ho sakta hai. Dusra kuch aur bhi ho sakta hai Veer. Jise hum dono hi nahi jaante. Lekin, mein daave ke saath keh sakta hu ki hatya isi ladki ne ki hai.

Garofano (screams) : Jhoooootthhh!!!

Veer : Hmm??

Garofano : V-Veer-! Dekho ise! Dekho kaise baato ko manipulate kar raha hai. Asli baatein toh isne tumhe bataayi hi nahi. Isne apni kartoote toh tumhe bataayi hi nahi Veer.

Veer : Huh???

Garofano (shouts) : Agar mujhe pata hota ki tum itne bade waale dagabaaz aadmi nikloge ki meri hi peeth par chhura ghopoge toh maine tumhe woh sui kabhi di hi nahi hoti-!!!

Veer : Sui??

Garofano : Haan! Veer, yaad hai jab hum pehli baar mile the?

Veer : Casa Belle me...

Garofano : Hmm! Maine tumse iss Renshu ke baare me zikr kiya tha.

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Garofano : Mein iss aadmi se pehle hi mil chuki thi. Aur, tab maine ek tohfe ke roop me ise apni khud ki banaayi gayi kuch sui saunpi thi. Saath hi zeher ki ek sheeshi bhi.

Veer ne turant hi Renshu ki orr dekha,

Veer : Kya ye sach hai?

Renshu (nods) : Hmm!!

Ye baat toh Renshu ne nahi bataayi abhi. Iska matlab kuch chhipaaya jaa raha tha!?

Garofano : Maine ye soch ke ise woh di thi ki ye aadmi shayad hamari tarah ek accha insaan hoga. Aur, jo log system ke saath aam logo ko nuksaan pahucha rahe hai, unhe khatam karne me hamari madad karega. Lekin, mein galat thi.

Veer : ???

Garofano : Tum khud socho Veer. Police akhir mere ghar tak kaise aa gayi? Agar, maine hi hatya ki hoti. Toh mein koi saboot kyu chorrti waha? Kya mujh me itni aqal bhi nahi hai? Police ke paas saboot tha. Woh sui-!!! Woh zeher waali sui police ne mere pita ki body se baramad ki thi. Agar maine hi unhe maara hota toh mein woh sui unke shareer me kyu chorrti Veer??

Veer : That's-!!!

Garofano (gusse me) : Kuch samajh aaya? Police ko jo sui mili ye wahi sui thi jo maine iss bastard ko di thi-!!

Erica (gusse me) : Zubaan sambhaal ke-!!!!

Garofano : Apne Dad se kaho ki pehle ek accha insaan bane. Uske baad dusro ke upar ungli uthaana-!

Erica : Y-You-!!!

Garofano : Veer!!! Isi ne mere pita ke shareer me woh sui ghop ke wahi chorr di thi. Meri harr sui par mera naam 'Garofano' guda hota hai. Bahut bareek hota hai. Isne usi baat ka faayda uthaaya. Isne mujhe fasaaya hai Veer. Trust me-!!!

Veer abhi kuch soch hi raha tha ki tabhi uski yaad-daasht ne use kuch yaad dilaaya. Woh pal jab woh Renshu se pehli baar mila tha.

Andhere se bhari samundar ke nazdeek uss gufa me jab woh ghaayal pada hua tha. Renshu ko Crimson samajh usne uss par hamla kar diya tha. Tab-

Tab Renshu ne kahi se ek 15cm kareeb lambi ek sui nikaali thi aur seedhe uski aankhon ki putliyo se 1 inch duri par tika di thi.

Use ye sab kuch yaad tha. Iska matlab-!! Woh sui-!!! Woh sui wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne tohfe me Renshu ko di thi. Matlab Garofano sach keh rahi thi. Renshu ko usne sui di thi iss baat ko jhutlaya nahi jaa sakta tha.

[Oh my~ It keeps getting better and better. Fufu~]

Garofano : Pucho iss se Veer. Isne hi mere Dad ke shareer me woh sui chorri thi jo maine ise gift ke roop me di thi. He betrayed me.

Veer ne punah Renshu ki orr dekha. Jaise maano uss se sawaal kar raha ho. Aur, Renshu bhi samajh gaya ki Veer akhir kya puchna chaah raha tha.

Renshu (sighs) : Ye sach hai!!

Veer : Huhhh!???

Garofano (smirks) : You fucker-!! Finally you admitted-!!

Renshu : Par ye aadha sach hai Veer.

Veer : Kya matlab?

Renshu : Ye baat sach hai ki Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me dhasi hui jo sui paayi gayi woh wahi sui thi jo Garofano ne mujhe di thi.

Garofano : See? I told you Veer. He was lying.

Renshu : Lekin, iss se ye kaha saabit hota hai ki maine unki hatya ki hai?

Veer : ???

Renshu : Darasal, maine hi Erica ko bheja tha. Erica ne hi woh sui Mr. Nicholson ke shareer me daal ke chorri thi. Baad me police aayi, sui aur zeher ki jaanch kari. Sui me likha 'Garofano' naam unhe pata chala aur unhone Garofano ke ghar me raid kar di. Jaha unhe alag se Garofano ke ghar me sui rakhi mil gayi.

Garofano : That's right-!!! This fucker-!!! Veer!!! Isne na sirf mere Dad ke shareer me wo sui chorri balki-! Isne mere ghar me bhi dusri sui zeher se lipti hui wahi chorri thi. Police ne dono ko match kiya and they concluded- ki- ki mein hi murderer hu. But that's not the case...!!!

Renshu : Hmm! Ye sach hai. Erica hi thi woh.

Garofano (growls) : I fucking knew it-!! Mein jaanti thi ki iske peeche kisi system owner ka haath hai. Your fucking daughter-!!! Stealth skills huh!!? Mujhe andaza tak nahi lag paaya tha ki koi mere ghar me aake gaya hai. So, it was you-!!!

Woh gusse me Erica ki orr dekhi. Veer ki nigaahein bhi Erica par gayi. Sabko apni orr dekhte hue paa ke Erica ne apna chehra mod liya.

Garofano : Tsk!!!

Renshu : Par jaisa ki maine kaha Veer. Ye sirf aadha sach hai. Ab mujhe poora sach bataane do.

Veer : Hmm??

Renshu : Garofano ne theek kaha. Agar, usne murder kiya hota toh woh sui ko kyu chorrti? Right?

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Renshu : Well, usne theek wesa hi kiya tha Veer. Murder karne ke baad iss ladki ne koi bhi saboot nahi chorra tha. Aur, isliye toh mujhe Erica ko bhejna pada. Yahi kaaran tha jo Erica ne fir woh sui Mr. Nicholson ki body par chorri. Tumko pata hai kyu?

Veer : ???

Renshu (smirks) : Kyuki, Mr. Nicholson ki maut pehle hi iske zeher se ho chuki thi. Sui se vaar kar, unhe maut ke ghaat pe utaar kar Garofano crime scene se faraar ho chuki thi. Woh toh accha tha ki mere paas iski di hui sui maujood thi. Isliye, Erica ne turant hi woh sui unke shareer me chorr di. Saboot iss ladki ne bhale mita diya ho, par maine police ke liye wapas se saboot de diya tha.

Veer (frowns) : That's-!!!

[No fucking way-!!! Hahahahaha!!! ]

Harr guzarte pal ye gutthi aur bhi ulajhti jaa rahi thi. Aur, Pari iska poora maza utha rahi thi.

Renshu : Ye ladki bahut chaalbaaz hai Veer. Koi bhi system owner itni badi galti nahi kar sakta. Ye sahi keh rahi thi ki bhala ye apne saboot kyu chorregi? Zaahir hai woh saboot maine chorre the taaki ye pakad me aa sake.

Veer : Meri ek baat samajh nahi aayi. Tumhe kaise pata chala ki Mr. Nicholson ke saath aisa kuch hone waala hai? Aur, sahi waqt par tumne Erica ko bhi bhej diya?

Renshu (sighs) : Because I was keeping tabs on her.

Veer : Huh!!?

Renshu : Veer! Mein tum par vishvaas karta hu. Isliye, tum se kuch nahi chhipaata. Yaad hai jab mein tumhari madad karne aaya tha tab tumne mujhse pucha tha ki bhala mujhe ye kaise pata chala ki tum musibat me ho?

Veer : Haan! Mujhe yaad hai. Aur, tumne kaha tha ki tumhe kisi ka call aaya tha. X!!! Usne tumhe bataya tha.

Renshu : That's right!! Wahi call iss baar mujhe firse aaya tha.

Veer : Huhh!!??

Renshu : Pichli baar jab wo call aaya tha tab wo voice modulated voice thi.

Veer : Modulated voice??

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Matlab badli hui awaaz. Erica ke paas advanced observation skill hai Veer. Jab uss X ne mujhe pehli baar call kiya tha toh maine wo call record kar li thi. Baad me Erica ne jab woh call recording suni toh usne mujhe bataaya tha ki ye awaaz asli awaaz nahi thi uss insaan ki. Woh insaan koi voice modulation ki skill use kar raha tha.

Veer : !!!??

Renshu : Iss baar kuch din pehle mujhe fir call aaya tha. Lekin, iss baar Erica ne bataya ki awaaz modulated nahi thi. Insaan ki khud ki awaaz thi. Awaaz kisi aurat ki thi. Aur, usne mujh se bas ek hi baat kahi thi~

Veer : ???

Renshu : Ki China me jald hi Korea ke rishte naate tootne waale hai. Nazar rakhna.

Veer : What!!?

Renshu : Korea se sirf Garofano hi hai system owner ke roop me. Mein samajh gaya tha ki kiski baat ho rahi thi. Aur, isliye maine Erica se kaha tha Garofano ke upar nazar rakhne ke liye. Kyuki, jaise hi Mr. Nicholson China kuch din pehle aaye, tabhi mein samajh gaya tha ki kuch gadbad hone waali hai.

Garofano : Wh-What-!!? T-Tum kisi anjaan ke kehne par kuch bhi kar baithoge? A-Are you an idiot!?

Renshu : Uss anjaan ke kehne par hi Veer ki jaan bach paayi thi. Tum ye baat acche se jaante ho Veer.

Veer (frowns) : I-

Renshu : Mein maanta hu ki kisi anjaan vyakti par itna bharosa karna theek baat nahi. Par, hum iss baat ko kaise nazar-andaaz kar sakte hai ki uss X ki wajah se hi Veer tumhari jaan bachi hai. Aur toh aur agar woh phone call na aata toh shayad ye Garofano madam qatl kar ke nikal chuki hoti.

Garofano (screams) : Ye sab jhooth hai-!!! Wh-Why!? Why would I kill my own father!!?

Renshu : Isliye, maine uss X ko bhi ek card bheja tha.

Veer : Whatttt!!??

Renshu : Abhi jo call aaya tha woh aurat-!!! Uska kehna tha ki woh USA se hai.

Veer : USA???

Renshu (nods) : Hmm! Mein chaahta tha ki agar wo waqai hamari side hai, toh woh yaha aaye aur hum uske baare me jaan paaye.

Veer : Kya usne apna naam bataya?

Renshu : Nahi! Par itna zaroor kaha tha ki filhaal woh USA me hai. Aur ye ki mein uski baat ko halke me na lu. Mr. Nicholson waali baat.

Veer : I see!!!

Renshu : Veer! Ab tumhare upar hai. Maine sab kuch tumhare saamne rakh diya hai. Agar tum chaaho toh aur sawaal puch sakte ho.

Garofano : He's lying Veer-!!! Kisi teesre ke kehne par tum kaise bharosa kar sakte ho? Jise tum jaante bhi nahi, jise dekha bhi nahi, jiske iraade bhi nahi jaante...!? Kaise-!? He's fucking lying-!!! T-Trust me Veer!!

Renshu : Veer-!!!

Garofano : Veer-!!!

'Fucking hell-!!!'

[Wahahahaha!!! What an interesting case. I'm loving every single second of it.]

'Shut up Pari! Let me concentrate! Inn dono me se koi ek jhooth bol raha hai.'

[Ya fir dono aadha sach keh rahe hai. Aur aadha jhooth.]

'Fuckkkk!!!!'

[They are waiting for your answer-!!!]

Veer ne dono ko dekha. Dono aas liye use hi dekh rahe the. Aur, dono ki aankhein uss se apeksha kar rahi thi ki woh unki side le.

'Fucking hell-!!! Ye kaha fass gaya mein-!??'

[Hahahahahaha!!!]

Veer ab ek vipda me tha. Aisi sthiti me jaha agar usne kisi galat ka saath galti se de diya toh kahi aisa na ho ki baad me woh zindagi bhar pachtaata rahe.

5 minute tak kamre me shaanti chhaayi rahi. Veer apne vichaaro me leen tha. Kuch sochne ke baad usne nirnay liya. Aur, gehri saans lete hue unn dono ko dekh bola.

Veer : Maine soch liya hai.

Renshu : !!?

Garofano : ???

Veer : Renshu! Garofano Jail se bhaag ke aayi hai. Zaahir hai police uske peeche padi hogi. Mein chaahta hu ki jab tak ye gutthi sulajh nahi jaati, tab tak Garofano yahi sahi salamat rahe. Aur, iss baat ki khabar yaha se baahar na jaane paaye.

Renshu : Whaaaatttt!??

Pal bhar ke liye Garofano ki aankhon me ek chamak dikhi. Uski nazre Veer par hi tiki hui thi. Woh uske chehre me khoyi hui thi.

Veer : Hmm! Sirf ek dusre ke keh dene se ye case solve nahi hone waala. Tum apni orr se dekh rahe ho. Aur, Garofano apni orr se. Mujhe lagta hai kuch missing hai yaha. Mine waala maamla kitni derr tak roka jaa sakta hai?

Renshu : Zyada se zyada 3 din. Kyuki, agar maine koi strategy nahi banayi toh government ki orr se firse koi na koi official aa hi jayega yaha dekhne ke liye ki kuch shuru hua bhi ya nahi. Aur, fir Jaw Long bhi attack kar sakta hai.

Veer : I see! Then, give me 3 days. 3 din ke andar andar... Mein iss gutthi ko suljha dunga.

Renshu : Huh!!!?

Erica : What?? What are you? Sherlock Holmes?? Tumhe pata bhi hai ki chal kya raha hai? H-How can you-

Iss se pehle ki Erica aur kuch Veer ko suna paati, Renshu ne apna haath dikha ke use wahi rok diya. Ek baar fir woh apne Dad ke Veer ke prati iss namr ravaiyye se hairat me reh gayi. Na chaahte hue bhi use khud ko rokna pada. Par, bechari Erica Veer ke intelligence se parichit nahi thi.

Veer ki nazre unfocused thi. Uska dimaag ab alag dhang se kaam kar raha tha. Ab uss Veer ke baahar aane ka samay tha jis Veer ne House of the Killers ki gutthi suljhayi thi.

Veer : Mein ye bhi chaahta hu ki tum meri madad karo Renshu. I will handle this case from now on. Aur, sach ko saamne laa ke rakhunga.

Renshu kuch shan tak Veer ko dekhta raha. Woh use parakh raha tha. Veer ki aankhein sab kuch bayaan kar rahi thi ki woh kitna serious tha iss matter ko leke.

Veer : Mine waale matter ko filhaal ke liye hold par rakhna hoga. Iss gutthi ko pehle suljhaana zaroori hai. Aur, Garofano-!!!

Garofano : H-Huh!?

Veer : Agar tum nirdosh saabit hoti ho. Toh mein chaahta hu ki tum mine waale matter me hamari madad karo-!!

Garofano : What!!?? Ye jaante hue bhi ki isi ne mujhe fasaaya hai, mein baad me iski madad bhi karu-!?

Veer : Please-!!!

Iss baar Garofano ne jaise hi Veer ki aankhon ko padha. Uska virodh apne aap samaapt ho gaya.

Garofano : F-Fine-! J-Just for your sake.

Veer (smiles) : That settles it. Then, mujhe kuch samay chahiye Garofano se baat karne ke liye. Garofano! Come with me-!!!

Garofano (nods) : Umm!

Erica : What? Hey Mister!!! Ye tumhara park nahi hai okay? This is my home!! Aur, tum yaha pe bina permission ke khud se charge nahi le sakte. You hear me? I-

Par, ek baar firse Renshu ne use haath dikha ke beech me hi rok diya.

Erica : D-Dad-!??

Renshu : Veer jo bhi madad maangta hai, use wo dena.

Erica : B-But-!

Renshu : No questions!!

Erica (sarr jhukaate hue) : Y-Yes!!

Idhar Veer aur Garofano kamre ke baahar nikal hi rahe the jab peeche se Erica ne awaaz lagaayi,

Erica : Waitttt-!!

Uske rokne par dono Veer aur Garofano palat ke use dekhe.

Erica : Our men-!! Tumne unke saath kya kiya? Jab tumne hamla kiya tab hamara ek bhi aadmi shor sunn ke yaha nahi aaya. What did you do to them??




Garofano : Hmph~!! They are fine! Bas, behosh hai. Go and have a look if you don't believe me.

Erica (mutters) : You will regret this bitch-!!

*Whoooshhhh*

Erica ek jhatke me waha se gaayab hui, aur baahar ki orr nikal gayi.



Jagah jagah Renshu ke saare aadmi behoshi ki haalat me dale hue the.

Usne railing ke paas khade hote hue neeche aangan me nazre daudayi. Sab ke sab behosh the. Koi bhi ghayal nahi tha.




'You will regret this-!! Dad ki insult-!! I will see you later Garofano!!'

Idhar, Veer aur Garofano punah baahar ki orr apna rukh karte ki peeche se iss baar Renshu ne unhe rok diya.

Renshu : Veer!!!

Veer (turns) : Hmm?

Renshu ne apne jaanvar ki khaal se bani uss odhni ko khola aur usme se ek kaagaz nikaalte hue Veer ki orr kiya,

Renshu : Ye Mr. Nicholson ki autopsy ki report ki ek photocopy hai. Have it!!! You'll need it.

Veer ne uske paas aate hue uske haath se woh kaagaz ka tukda le liya. Aur, Garofano ke sang wo uss kamre se baahar nikal gaya.

***

Baahar courtyard me aate hi Veer ne apne bagal se chal rahi Garofano ko dekha aur bola,

Veer : You are messed up!




Usne uske chehre ko dekhte hue kaha. Garofano jab se police dwara jail me le jaayi gayi thi tab se hi usne apna chehra tak nahi dhoya tha. Zaahir hai woh abhi apne sabse uttam roop me nahi thi.

Garofano : I know!!!



Par, Veer ki maujoodgi me woh kaafi hadd tak khud ko mehfooz mehsoos kar rahi thi.

Veer use ek dusre kamre ki orr laaya aur bathroom ki orr ishaara kiya. Garofano bina kuch kahe andar washroom me chali gayi. Veer tab tak wahi kamre me baahar baitha raha.

Jab tak woh aa rahi thi, tab tak Veer ne ek nazar uss autopsy ki report par dauda li.

Kareeb 15 minute baad Garofano washroom se nikal ke baahar aayi. Pehle se kahi zyaada behtar nazar aa rahi thi ab woh.



Veer : Better?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Woh aake wahi neeche bicche ek cushion par baith gayi.

Veer : So? Miss Garofano!?

Garofano : Garofano nahi Veer!! Please, just call me by my real name from now on. It’s ~ Violet!! Violet Nicholson!

Veer : Violet?

Garofano : Hmm! *smiles weakly* We have the same initials. Don’t we? V for Veer! V for Violet!

Uska ravaiyya Renshu ke prati ekdum alag tha aur Veer ke prati ekdum hi alag. Zameen asmaan ka antar tha dono ravaiyye me. Jaha Renshu ke prati uske andar se ghrina saaf saaf nikal rahi thi, toh wahi Veer ke saath hone par woh khud ko shaant mehsoos kar rahi thi. Veer ke prati uske andar thodi hayaa bhi thi aur thodi jigyaasa bhi.

Veer ne apne bagal se baithi uss sundar naari ko dekha. Woh jaanta tha ki iss waqt Garofano urf Violet apne dukh ko chhipaane ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par wo isme nakaam thi. Uska dukh saaf saaf uske chehre par jhalak raha tha.

Veer : Alright then! Miss Violet! Talk!!!

Garofano : Ask me Veer. Tum jo jo puchoge mein sab ka jawaab dene ke liye taiyaar hu.

Veer : Hmm! Toh theek hai! Case shuru karte hai.

Garofano (nods) : Hmm!

Veer ne Renshu ki saari kahi gayi baat par zorr daala. Aur, seedhe hi woh prashn par aa gaya.

Veer : Mr. Nicholson ki rehesyamayi maut ke baad, unki will me yahi likha hua paaya gaya tha ki unki saari sampatti unki beti ko samarpit ki jaati hai. Right?

Garofano : Woh-

Veer : Par! Par! Par! Li Renshu ne tum pe ye ilzaam lagaya hai ki tumne paiso ki laalach me aake ye qadam uthaaya tha aur apne hi pita ko maut ke ghaat utaar diya. Taaki will me likhi gayi sampatti tumhe mil sake.

Garofano : N-Nahi-!

Veer : Lekin, ye baat yahi khatam nahi hoti. Hospital dwara Mr. Nicholson ki body ki autopsy bhi kari gayi thi. Aur post-mortem ke anusaar ek agyaat puncture ka ghaav unke ek chhipe hue ang par paaya gaya tha. Baad me pata chala ki ek behad hi jaanleva aur slow poison waha par inject kiya gaya tha. Report padhi abhi abhi maine jo Renshu ne mujhe di hai.

Garofano (panics) : Y-Ye jhooth hai!!! Tum jaante ho ki woh sui meri nahi thi Veer. Woh needle toh Renshu-

Veer : Li Renshu ne na sirf itna kuch pata lagaya balki report ye bhi kehti hai ki woh sui tumhari hi hai. Usi sui se woh ghaav banaya gaya tha isme koi shaq nahi. Aur, toh aur woh zeher bhi tumhari sui par laga hua paaya gaya jo Mr. Nicholson ki body se mila tha. Aur uske baad-

Garofano : Uske baad yahi sab hua.

Ek udaasi bhari muskaan uske hontho par aayi.

Garofano : Kaafi kuch tumne andaaza laga liya kuch hi palo me Veer! Lekin, ye sab- poori sachhayi nahi hai!! Mein tumhe andar pehle hi bata chuki hu.

Veer : !??

Garofano : Maine Mr. Nicholson ki hatya nahi ki hai. Wh-Why would I?

Uski awaaz me thar-tharahat thi. Lekin, uss thar-tharahat me ek dridhta bhi thi. Jaise woh nishchit thi ki sach kya hai aur jhooth kya.

Garofano : Li Renshu! Use jab se pata chala hai ki mein ek system owner hu tab se hi woh mujhe apni nigrani me rakhe hue hai. Aur, chuki mein system owner hu, isliye use ye aur bhi lag raha hai ki mein kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Maine hi qatl kiya hai. Yahi uska daawa hai. Ek baar bhi kisi ne mujhe apni begunahi saabit karne ka mauka nahi diya.

Veer : Hmm! Dekha maine sab kuch! Ek jhatke me woh decision le chuka tha. Koi chhaan-been kari hi nahi gayi. Mein ye bhi jaanta hu ki isme sirf Li Renshu aur Erica involved nahi hai.

Garofano (eyes widens) : Y-You mean!?

Veer : Yeah! Koi aur third person bhi involved hai. Li Renshu ko kisi ne influence kiya hai. Satark rehne ke chakkar me woh itna paranoid ho chuka hai ki usne kisi teesre vyakti ki baat ka itna bharosa kar liya. Aisa laga, jaise kisi bacche ko khilauna pakda ke use raazi kiya gaya ho.

Garofano : Th-That’s-

Garofano sarr jhukaaye ek gehre chintan me doob gayi. Magar, Veer ki nazre uski harr ek harqato par tani hui thi. Woh harr thode bol ke baad khud ko aise dikhaata jaise woh Renshu ki taraf hai, par fir aur kuch bolne ke baad aise jataata jaise Renshu galat hai.

Veer Garofano ki galti pakadne ka jaal biccha raha tha. Ye ek aisa maamla tha jaha koi bhi sahi ya galat ho sakta tha. Kya pata kaho Li Renshu sahi keh raha ho? Uske bagal se baithi ye sundar naari kaho khoon ki pyaasi ek hatyaari hi ho? Ye sab khaali uska dhong ho?

Ya fir ye bhi ho sakta tha ki Li Renshu hi galat tha? Woh koi chaal chal raha ho peeth peeche? Sabse zyada chakravyuh me Renshu ya Garofano nahi, balki Veer khud hi fasa hua tha. Use harr ek se sunishchit karna tha ki kaun saathi hai aur kaun dushman.

Woh ek prakaar se iss waqt ek double agent ke roop me kaam kar raha tha. Ek taraf use ye dikhana tha ki woh Garofano ki taraf hai toh wahi dusri orr ye ki woh Renshu ke saath hai. Aaj Las Vegas waale high IQ detective Veer ka imtihaan tha.

Veer : Mujhe nahi lagta ki system owner bas hone se turant hi kisi par bhi ilzaam laga dena chahiye.

Ye sunte hi Garofano thoda hairat me uski orr dekhi,

Garofano : Mujhe laga tha tum bhi baaki sab ki tarah mujhe ye gunaah qubool karne ke liye majboor karoge Veer!

Veer : Insaan kitni hi koshish kyu na kar le. Sach ko kabhi bhi chhipaaya nahi jaa sakta. I neither believe you nor disbelieve you. Mera bas itna maan’na hai ki saari baato ko jaan’ne ke baad hi decision liya jaa sakta hai. Toh mein chaahunga ki pehle tumhari kahani ko suna jaaye, taaki mein apni raay rakh saku.

Garofano ne haami bhari, aur bolna shuru ki-

Garofano : Theek hai, Veer! Mein tumhe sab kuch sach sach batati hu.

Veer : Hmm!

Ek gehri saans lete hue Garofano ne apni dastaan bayaan karna shuru kiya,

Garofano : Asliyat me, Mr. Nicholson aur mein... hum dono asli baap-beti hai hi nahi.

Veer : Huh!?

Garofano : I mean ye jo bhi rishta tha hamare beech, woh ek unofficial rishta tha. Na hi khoon ka rishta tha hamare beech aur na hi kisi paper par hamara rishta darj kiya gaya tha.

Kehte hue usne apne baal ki ek latt ko apne kaan ke peeche kiya. Woh apni yaadon ke talaab me aur gehraayi me gayi,

Garofano : Veer! Mr. Nicholson junoon se bharpoor insaan the. Woh charity aur trust me aksar khoob daan kiya karte the. Gareebo ki bahut madad kiya karte the hamesha. Aur mein unhi gareebo ki ek basti se ek aam ladki ki tarah hi thi, jiski madad unhone ki thi mujhe beti ke roop me apna ke.

Veer : Tumhara parivaar?

Garofano : Woh toh bachpan me hi guzar gaye the. Mein bas ek anaath bach gayi thi. Mushqil se hi zinda thi. Lekin, jaise tese bach gayi. Shayad mujhe bhi chale jaana tha iss duniya se tabhi. Hai na? *smiles weakly*

Veer : Parivaar kaise khatam hua? Kya tum share kar sakti ho?

Garofano : Ryongchon disaster!!

Usne bas yahi do shabd kahe. Aur, idhar Pari ne bina Veer ke bole hi turant hi uske mann me saari jankaari prastut kar di.

Ryongchon disaster!! 22 April 2004. Ek aisa train accident jo North Korea ke town Ryongchon me ghatit hua tha. Flammable cargo blast ho chuka tha. Saral shabdo me, woh padaarth jo jwalansheel tha, woh aag pakad chuka tha jiske chalte ek bhayanak visfot ne janm liya tha. Aur, train ke kayi saare dabbo ke chithde udd chuke the.

Zaahir hai Garofano ke maata-pita usi train me tab safar kar rahe the. Aur, aneko logo ke saath saath woh bhi apni jaan gawa baithe. Apne parivar me bas wahi ek thi jo kismat se bach gayi thi. Garofano ne ek gehri saans chorri aur bolna jaari rakha,

Garofano : Aur uss haadse ke baad mein poori tarah se anaath ho chuki thi.

Veer : Tum North Korea se South Korea jaa rahi thi?

Garofano (nods) : Hmm! Aur aa bhi gayi thi.

Veer : So, you are not completely Korean, right?

Garofano : Yes! Mein half-Korean and half white hu.

Veer : I’m sorry! Shayad mere kaaran tumhari puraani taqleef bhari yaadein taaza ho gayi.

Veer ne ahista se apni breast pocket se apna rumaal nikaalte hue uski orr kiya. Garofano ne halke se muskuraate hue uske haath se rumaal thaama aur boli,

Garofano : Isme tumhe sorry kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi Veer! Yahi woh time tha jab mein Mr. Nicholson se mili. Jab maine jeene ki icchha chorr di thi, saari umeedein chorr di thi. Tab, woh meri zindagi me farishta bann ke aaye.

Veer : Ohh!

Garofano : Unhone mujhe apni beti ki tarah paala. Aur jab mein badi hui, tab unhone hi Garofano cosmetics mujhe khol ke di thi. Mujhe jaise jeene ke liye ek naya raasta mil gaya tha.

Veer : I see!

Garofano : Mein hamesha se unka naam raushan karna chahti thi. Mein chaahti thi ki jitna unhone mujhe diya hai, mein uska kayi guna unhe lauta saku.

Veer : Aur isliye tumne system ka istemal kiya taaki Garofano cosmetics aur bhi ucchaayi par pahuch sake?

Garofano (nods) : That’s right!

Veer : Tumhe system kab mila?

Garofano : Haha!

Woh halke se muskurayi aur thahaaka lagaate hue Veer ko dekhi,

Garofano : Kya tum sach me jaan’na chaahte ho?

Veer (nods) : Yeah!

Garofano : Okay! Hassna mana hai, theek hai na? Mujhe system tab mila tha jab mein bar me nashe me dhutt hoke besudh si padi hui thi.

Veer : What?

Garofano (shyly) : I-It’s the truth! And, aisa karna bilkul bhi safe nahi tha I know. Mein drunk thi. Jiski wajah se, kuch ladke mera faayda uthaana chaahte the. Aur woh qamyaab ho bhi jaate. Agar, tab mere dimaag me wo awaaz nahi aati. Ding!! System has been activated. Haha!

Woh harr prayaas kar rahi thi ki inn chulbuli baato se wo apne dukh ko chhipa sake. Kintu, Veer ko sab kuch nazar aa raha tha.

Veer : I see! Back to the topic again.

Garofano : Ohh! Right! Sorry~

Veer : You can continue!

Garofano : Hmm! Jab se unhone mujhe apni beti maana tha tab se hi hum ek saath raha karte the. Ek dusre ka dhyaan rakhna, parvah karna. Laga tha jaise zindagi hamesha hi aise shaant, araamdayak aur dil-khush rahegi par-

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

Garofano : S-Sorry! Woh bas-

Veer : That’s okay! You can take your time. Parivar ko khona bahut hi peeda-dayak hota hai. Mein samajh sakta hu.

Kahi na kahi Veer ko Golu ki yaad aa gayi. Woh parivaar nahi tha uska. Lekin, uska sabse pehla dost zaroor tha.

Garofano : Toh fir tum ye bhi acche se samajhte hoge Veer… ki ek baar apne parivaar ko khone ke baad, mein dobaara apne kisi qareebi ko kaise khone de sakti hu?

Veer : …

Garofano : Hamara rishta bahut accha tha. Unhe maarne ka mein apne sapne me bhi nahi soch sakti. Mein khud apni jaan de dungi lekin unke saath aisa kabhi nahi hone dungi. Loneliness! Kaisi hoti hai ye mein jaanti hu. Mein dobaara kisi apne ko kyu khona chaahungi bhala?

Iss baar woh thitur uthi aur khud ko rok na paayi. Uske gaalo se aasu nirantar behne lage. Veer ne punah apna rumaal use thamaya.

Garofano : Th-Thank you!

Rumaal thamaate waqt Veer ki ungliyaan Garofano ki ungliyo se sparsh hui. Use mehsoos hua ki woh ekdum thandi ho rakhi thi. Kuch shan baad Garofano ne khud ko sambhaala aur sarr upar kar Veer ko gambheerta se dekhi.

Garofano : Mein jaanti hu… ki saboot mere khilaaf hai. Harr koi yahi samajh raha hai ki mein hatyaari hu. Lekin-

Veer : …

Garofano : Mein kabhi bhi apne parivaar ko nuksaan nahi pahucha sakti Veer!

Veer uske aseem dukh ko mehsoos kar paa raha tha. Uss dukh ke peeche dradh sankalp bhi tha. Veer nahi chaahta tha ki koi bhi apne parivaar se itna pyaar karne wala vyakti jhooth bole.

Veer : Well! Agar dekha jaaye toh tumhare khilaaf hi saare saboot ikhatta hue hai.

Garofano : Mmm! Mein jaanti hu!

Veer : Then?

Garofano : Veer! Agar tumhe waqai lagta hai ki mein Mr. Nicholson ke paise aur unki property ke peeche thi…! Mein batana chaahti hu tumhe ki mere aur unke beech pehle hi iss baat ko leke samjhauta ho chuka tha. Maine unse keh ke rakha tha ki mein unki koi bhi dhan daulat ka hissa nahi banungi.

Veer : …

Garofano : Aur wese bhi, agar mujhe diya bhi jaata hai toh bhi mein uski haqdar nahi hu. Wo property sahi maayno me unke chhote bhai ko milni chahiye.

Veer : Par ye sab unki will me-

Garofano : Rahi baat unki will ki- Toh mujhe ye sab unke iss duniya se jaane ke baad hi pata chala ki unhone mere liye koi will bhi banayi hui hai.

Wait!! Mr. Nicholson ka chhota bhai? Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Renshu ne toh aisa kuch bhi mention nahi kiya tha. Agar Mr. Nicholson ka sach me koi bhai hota toh Renshu ye baat beshaq uske saamne rakhta.

Ek baar fir Veer duwidha me fass chuka tha. Kaun jhooth keh raha tha? Kya Renshu ne theek se jaanch nahi kari thi? Ya Garofano jhooth keh rahi thi?

‘Damn it!!!’

[Hahahaha! What do you think, Mister Detective? Kaun sach keh raha hai? Aur kaun jhooth? If you solve this case, then I'll admire you. Just for this time I'm making an exception. Fufu~]

Veer ne ek gehri saans li. Aur, filhaal ek mauka Garofano ko diya. Shayad Renshu ne theek se chhaan been nahi ki thi. Mr. Nicholson ka ek bhai bhi tha? Bhala iss baat ka zikr usne kyu nahi kiya? Ab use zaroorat thi ek raasta khojne ki taaki woh iss gutthi ko jald se jald suljha sake.

Veer ko iss tarah shaant dekh Garofano ka sarr neeche jhuk gaya aur woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Shayad ye gutthi ab sulajh nahi sakti. Hai na? *smiles* Aur ab dheere dheere meri umeedein bhi kam hoti jaa rahi hai Veer. Akele kis se ladti rahungi? Mein kisi ko maar to nahi sakti na?

Veer : That’s-

Garofano : Jab tak meri koi bas baat sunn le, mere liye bas wahi bahut hai. Mein usme hi khush hu. Mujhe koi safaayi nahi deni apne baare me. Mein dekhti hu mein kya kar sakti hu-! Then-

Veer : No! Mein iss gutthi ko suljha sakta hu. Iss poori problem ki jadd hai lack of evidence. Poora case hi uljha hua hai. Mein tum par apna trust rakh raha hu. Mein bhi dekhna chahta hu akhir kitna pyaar tha tumhe apne parivar se.

Iss baar Garofano use aashcharya me dekhi.

Garofano : T-Toh tum keh rahe ho ki tumhe yakeen hai ki mein nirdosh hu?

Veer : Maine aisa kuch nahi kaha. Mera kehna bas ye hai ki mein iss gutthi ko suljha ke rahunga aur asal me kya hua tha woh sab ke saamne launga.

Garofano : ….

Veer : Mein jaanta hu ki Renshu system owners ki taraf biased rehta hai. Koi bhi rahega. Unhe naap taul ke parakhta hai woh. Kyuki, agar koi khatra bann sakte hai toh woh system owners hi hai. Na ki aam insaan. Lekin-

Garofano (stares) : ???

Veer : Lekin, iss tarah se hum kisi nateeje par nahi aa sakte aur na hi bina tehqiqaat ke koi faisla suna sakte hai. Sach ko nazar-andaaz karna galat hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Isliye- Mein koshish karunga ki iss poori riddle ko solve karu aur tumhara naam sab ke saamne clear ho jaaye ki tumne Mr. Nicholson ko nahi maara hai. Yahi ek raasta hai jis se tumhe nirdosh saabit kiya jaa sakta hai.

Garofano : …

Veer : Magar, uske pehle- Mein bhi chaahunga ki tum bhi mujhpe trust karo.

Garofano wahi jamm ke reh gayi. Lag raha tha jaise woh poori tarah se stabdh thi Veer ki baat sunane ke baad. Kuch shan baad, woh ahista se boli,

Garofano : Veer-!!

Veer : Hmm?

Garofano (smiles) : Tum mujhe kisi ki yaad dilaate ho.

Ek bhaavuk, udaseen bhaav uske chehre par terr gaya. Veer ko turant hi kisi cheez ka ehsaas hua.

Veer : Koi family member?

Garofano ne haule se sarr naa me hilaaya aur boli,

Garofano : Nahi! Ek bachpan ka dost.

Veer : Ohh! Toh? Ab kaha hai woh-

Garofano : He’s no more!

Veer : ….

Garofano (smiles) : You remind me of him. Woh bilkul tumhari tarah tha. Dayaalu aur insaaf dhoondhne waala…! Such a pity…!

Veer : Kya hua tha?

Garofano : Huntington’s disease.

Garofano ke muh se nikalte hi Pari ne Veer ke saamne ek baar fir jankaari prastut kar di.

[Huntington’s disease. Ek aisa disorder hai jisme dimaag ke nerve cells yaani ki neurons toot ke bikhar jaate hai aur samay ke saath marr jaate hai. Iss beemari ka koi cure nahi hai.]

Padhte hi Veer ka mann bhi niraash ho utha.

Garofano : Mein khushkismat hu jo meri mulaqat tumse hui. Insaaf dhoondhne waale se…! *smiles* Mein sach me abhaari hu ki tum mere liye ye kar rahe ho. Pehli baar tumse milte hi samajh gayi thi mein.

Veer : Tum hum system owners me se ek ho. Aur, ye kahi na kahi hum sabki zimmedari hai ki sach ko khoja jaaye uske baad hi koi nirnay liya jaaye.

Garofano : Zimmedari unn sabne toh nahi li na Veer? Fir tumne kyu-?

Veer : I don’t know! I just feel like it. Tumhe abhaar vyakt karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Garofano bas dheere se ek haami bhari.

Garofano (smiles) : Hmm! I’ll wait then!

Veer ek gehre chintan me doob gaya. Akhir sach kaun keh raha tha? Kya Renshu jhooth keh raha tha? Magar, usne na sirf itni kuch baatein use batayi balki apni khud ki beti Erica ki bhi skill uske saamne khule aam bata di thi.

Advanced observation!!!

Isi skill ki madad se Erica ne uss phone call ke baare me Renshu ko bataya tha. Veer nahi jaanta tha ki ye advanced observation kaise kaam karta tha, par woh baad me Pari se iske baare me puch sakta tha. Zaroor Pari kuch na kuch iske baare me jaanti hi hogi. Agar woh skill shop se li gayi hogi, toh Pari ko beshaq iske baare me kuch na kuch andaaza zaroor hoga.

Agar, Renshu satark rehna chaahta aur use gumraah karna chaahta toh woh itna asaani se Erica ki skill kyu bataata?

Par, yahi baat Garofano ke liye bhi kahi jaa sakti thi. Pehli mulaqaat me hi usne 'Dead Silence' ka prayog kar ke Veer ko apni skill ka andaaza de diya tha.

Yaha tak ki usne apni sui banaane waali aur poison banaane waali skills ke baare me bhi koi virodh nahi kiya.

Akhir, chal kya raha tha!!?

Woh dono kuch aur baatein karte ki tabhi baahar se ek shor unhe sunayi diya.

*Honk* *Honk*

Kisi gaadi ke horn ki awaaz si maalum pad rahi thi. Raat me 10:30 ho rahe the. Iss waqt bhala kaun ho sakta tha?

Awaaz sunte hi Veer turant hi apni jagah se uth khada hua aur baahar ki orr chal diya. Woh akela nahi tha. Garofano bhi uske peeche peeche aa rahi thi. Kintu, woh savdhaan thi.

Use dhoondhte hue police bhi aa sakti thi. Isliye, seedhe seedhe woh baahar nahi jaa sakti thi.

Andar se Renshu samet Erica bhi baahar aa chuke the. Renshu ke aadmi abhi tak hosh me nahi aaye the, isliye baahar guard karne ke liye bhi koi nahi tha. Garofano sab ko behosh kar ke andar aayi thi.

[Garofano ke paas koi skill ya kuch aur zaroor hai jis se logo ko sleep ya unconscious state me daala jaa sakta hai.]

Pari ne Veer ko sachet kiya.

'Yeah!'

[This is your golden opportunity. Jab tak woh yaha hai, tumhe uske system ke baare me jitna ho sake utna pata karna hoga. Even Renshu aur Erica ke baare me bhi. We don't know who might turn their back against us.]

'I know!!!'

[Good!]

Erica ne jaise hi main entrance ka woh bada sa darwaza khola, saamne ek car khadi hui thi.

Aur, jaise hi car ka darwaza khula, usme se ek khubsoorat aurat baahar nikal ke aayi.




Saamne khade logo ko dekh, jaise hi uski nazar Veer pe padi, na sirf woh khud chaunki balki Veer bhi utna hi chakit reh gaya.

Divya : V-Veer!!???

Veer : Divya???
