Ab aage...
Veer ne apni car park ke paas hi parking area me khadi ki, jaha Kavya ne use bulaya hua tha. Sooraj baadlo ke beech dhaka hua tha, hawa halki aur thand mamooli si.
Kavya pehle se hi Veer ka intezar kar waha apni scooty liye khadi use haath hilaate hue bula rahi thi. Aaj usne woollen collar waali ek jacket daal rakhi thi jo asal me fashionable zyada thi aur protective kam.
Toh wahi Veer ne apni grey t-shirt ke upar ek black zip waala light upper daal rakha tha, jisme woh beshaq bahut handsome prateet ho raha tha.
Veer ko aata dekh Kavya mann hi mann muskurayi. Aaj toh woh atyant hi prasann thi. Lekin, saath hi uski aankhon me kuchh tha — Ek shararat jise filhal Veer gaur na kar saka.
'Aaj mein aapka poora faayda uthaungi, bhaiya. Hehe~'
Kavya : Bhaiya~ Aapne promise kiya tha. Yaad hai na? Ab aap bhaag nahi sakte.
Veer ne aate hue uske gaalo ko nocha aur bola.
Veer : Haan haan! Yaad hai. Maine tumhe promise kiya tha ki tum jab bulaogi mein tumhare paas aaunga. Aur, mein humesha apna vaada nibhata hu. Waise, tumhe sach me scooty chalana nahi aata? Ya fir ye bas ek bahaana hai?
Kavya : Mujhe aata hai. Lekin — umm, bheed-bhaad waale ilaaqe me mujhe dikkat hoti hai. I want to learn from the best. *smiles*
Aur, yahi tha Kavya ka plan. Veer ne sahi anumaan lagaya tha. Woh uske sang bas samay vyateet karna chaahti thi.
Veer (sighs) : Theek hai! Toh chalo fir. Mujhe aur bhi kaam hai. Tum chalao, mein peechhe baithata hu.
Kavya ne utsukta se sarr hilaaya aur scooty par aage baith handle ko kass ke pakad li. Veer theek uske peechhe baitha aur jaise hi woh baitha, Kavya ko ehsaas hua ki Veer ki chhaati theek uski peeth par dabb rahi thi.
Waise toh woh dono kaafi nazdeek rehte the lekin iss tarah se ek hi gaadi par itna qareeb baithna aur woh bhi sirf unn dono ka akele rehna, ye apne aap me Kavya ki dhadkane tez karne ke liye kaafi tha. Woh Veer ki garmi, uski upasthiti ko apne itna qareeb mehsoos kar paa rahi thi, ki uski reedh me ek sihran daud gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Uh... Bhaiya... M-Mein chaalu karu ab?
Woh haklaate hue boli, apne gaalo me badhti garmi ko dur karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.
Veer (nods) : Haan! Aur, araam se! Go slow at first. Hum race nahi lagaane jaa rahe.
Kavya ne haami bhari aur scooty chaalu kar aage badhayi, har chhoti-chhoti harqato ke chalte uska dimaag daud raha tha. Jaise hi woh park se guzre sadak par kabhi-kabhar aane waale utaar-chadhaav ke kaaran woh hilte gaye aur unke badan ek dusre se dabte gaye.
Kavya ka chehra ab laal padta jaa raha tha. Veer ko saamne se dekh uss se baat karna ek alag baat thi magar use apne peechhe paana jaha woh peeth se lag ke apni larzish bhari awaaz ke bol kaano me bharta rahe, ye ek alag baat thi. Kavya iske liye taiyaar nahi thi.
Sharma ke toh woh tab reh gayi jab speed breaker ke chalte woh seat se uchhli aur seedhe jaake Veer ki goad me jaa baithi. Aur, fir use kuchh mehsoos hua-
'Huh? Is that his...!?'
Uske vichar uss disha me daude aur jaise hi use iska bodh hua woh sharmaate hue khud ko hi mann hi mann daanti aur zor se apna sarr hilaate hue unn vichaaro ko nikaalne ki koshish karne lagi.
Usne iske pehle bhi Goa me Veer ke ling ko dekha tha. Yaha tak ki usne use blowjob bhi di thi. Lekin, uske bawajood woh uss baare me sochne par abhi bhi sharma jaati thi. Iss beech Veer ka dhyaan poori tarah se raaste par tha.
Veer : Kavya! Right se doggy aa raha hai, sambhal ke-
Kavya : Ehh? A-Ahhh-!!!
*Screech*
Veer : Dhyan rakho. Achha hua maine brake laga diya warna woh doggy bhid sakta tha. Hum crowded area me hai, yaha bheed rahegi. Bahut araam se chalao. Theek hai?
Kavya : Ah! H-Haan! M-Mein dhyaan rakhungi, bhaiya.
Par, bechaari Kavya akhir dhyaan rakhe toh rakhe kaise? Uska poora dhyaan toh Veer kheenche hue tha. Veer ka haath theek uske haath ke upar tha.
Woh thoda aur aage jab badhe tabhi scooty ladkhadi gayi kyunki waha se paidal chalne waale logo ka samooh guzar raha tha. Kavya ne kass ke brake lagaya toh Veer aage jhuk gaya aur santulan banaaye rakhne ke liye uske haath Kavya ki patli kamar par kass ke lipat gaye. Aur, bechari Kavya-
Kavya (yells) : E-Eeeeeek-!!
Veer : Kya kar rahi ho? Aise ekdum se brake nahi lagaate paagal. Isliye, maine kaha tha tumse ki slow chalaana. Aur, perr kyu ghistaati ho neeche? Shoes ghis jayenge poore tumhaare.
'Because it's your fault dumbo bhaiya-!!!'
Woh jaise sthir hoke reh gayi. Usne apni kamar par Veer ke mazboot haatho ki taaqat ka andaaza bakhubi lag chuka tha aur iss se woh aur bhi zyada sharma gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-!! A-Aap bahut k-kass ke pakde ho.
Veer : Hmm? Ohh! S-Sorry! Woh balance banaaye rakhne ke liye mera haath achanak-
Kehte hue jaise hi usne apna haath peechhe kiya, Kavya ne uska haath thaam liya aur wapas se le jaake apni kamar par tika diya.
Kavya (blushes) : M-Maine hataane ko nahi kaha buddhu bhaiya! B-Bas kass ke pakadne ko mana kiya tha. M-Mujhe dard ho raha tha isliye.
Aur, Veer ko akhir samajh aa hi gaya ki uski ye chhoti behan darasal bas ek bahaana dhoondh rahi thi uske saath samay bitaane ka.
Kavya : Toh ab hum- aaaaahhhhhh-!!!!
Woh achanak se chillaayi jaise hi use apne seene par Veer ke haath mehsoos hue. Veer ne uske chhote-chhote thano ko pakad rakha tha.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya!!!! Y-Ye kya kar rahe ho aap?
Veer (smiles) : Hmm? Tumhe pakda hu!
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-! M-Mein maar dungi aapko. Haath hatao please. K-Koi dekh lega.
Veer : Koi hume dekh lega tumhe iski chinta hai? Iski nahi ki mein tumhare inn doodh ko daba raha hu? Hmm?
Kavya : E-Eeeekkk-!!! *huff* Bh-Bhaiya! Hum bhid jayenge. *blushes* P-Please haath hataiye.
Veer : Hoooo~ Aur, na hatau toh?
Kavya (blushes) : Nnnn~ I promise! I promise aap baad me jee bhar ke daba lena. P-Par, abhi, please-!!
Uski iss baat par Veer ne apne haath muskuraate hue peechhe kar liye.
Veer (smiles) : Remember your promise.
Kavya (blushes) : Gande bhaiya!
Veer : Hmm? Ye kya? Tum college le aayi?
Kavya (glances) : Ahh! Dhyaan hi nahi diya maine. Ab aa hi gaye hai toh chalo andar chalte hai. Mujhe kisi se milna bhi hai.
Usne jhooth bola. Darasal, woh college kisi maqsad ke saath aayi thi.
Veer : Huh?
Veer ne apni prashn bhari bauhe upar chadhayi. Kavya ko kisi se milna tha? Gaadi andar le jaate hue woh dono hi parking area ke paas ruk gaye.
Veer : Students baahar aa rahe hai. Abhi abhi hi departure hua hai shayad. Aaj tum nahi gayi college?
Kavya : Nahi bhaiya! Kyunki, exams aane waale hai. Toh mein ghar par hi preparation kar rahi hu. Arey haan! Aap exams nahi doge kya? Aapka last year hai na?
Veer : Yeah! Well-! Let's see. Dena toh padega. I do want my degree.
Kavya : Hehe~ Aapne kuchh padha hi nahi hai. Ab raat bhar jaag-jaag ke guide ratna hehe~
Veer (tickles her) : Tumhe bada maza aa raha hai, haan? Tumhe bada maza aa raha!?
Kavya : Ahahahahahaha~ Bhaiya-!!! Nooo! Gudgudi nii- k-koi dekh lega aise...! Noooo! Ahahahahahaha!!! Phew! Waise ek baat toh hai bhaiya. Aap bahut achhe teacher ho.
Veer : Well, thanks my dear little sister.
Kavya : Lekin, mujhe lagta hai ki mein kuchh aur challenging tasks ke liye bhi taiyaar hu. You know...! *grins*
Veer : Challenging huh!? Crowded area me gaadi chalaane se bhi zyada challenging?
Kavya (nods) : Bilkul! If you know you know. *smiles*
Uski muskaan me ek shararat thi.
Kavya : Anyways! Aaiye! Chaliye!
Woh dono hi campus me daakhil hue, aur Veer ko turant hi logo ke ghoorne ka ehsaas hua — zyadatar nigaahein Kavya par thi lekin ladkiyo ki kuchh utsuk nazre uss par bhi tiki hui thi.
Kavya humesha ki tarah kisi starkid ki tarah, apni bubbly personality liye uske bagal se chal rahi thi. Uska chulbula vyaktitva aur uska aatma-vishvas alag hi jhalak raha tha.
Jaise hi woh kuchh student ke groups se hoke guzre, door se hi unhe ek awaaz sunaayi di.
"Kaaaavyyyaaaaaa-!!!"
Aur, ek ladka khushi-khushi kuchh ladko ke saath chalte hue unki orr aaya. Dekhne me lamba aur chehre se bada hi aam sa lag raha tha.
?? : Kavya!!! Abhi aayi tum?
Kavya : Yash? Haan! Just abhi aayi.
Yash : Aur, mein kab se tumhara wait hi kar raha tha haha! Project me tumhare bina kaise decision le sakte hai hum?
Usne apne aap ko achha dikhaate hue kaha. Kavya uski baat par muskurayi lekin andar hi andar bechari ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha. Woh Yash ke liye yaha nahi thi. Woh yaha Veer ke liye thi. Uski tarqeeb Veer ko jealous feel karwaane ki thi, taaki uske bhaiya ko ye pata lag sake ki aur log bhi hai iss duniya me jo use paane ki chaah rakhte hai.
Aur, isliye usne Yash se yaha milne ko kaha tha. Sab kuchh uske plan ke mutabik chal raha tha. Usne apni aankhon ke kone se Veer ki orr dekha, kuchh pratikriya, kuchh irshya ki umeed ki, lekin Veer ke chehre par koi bhaav nahi the.
'Ahh? Come on-!! Feel jealous bhaiya!! Feel this jealousy. Show me how much you want me!! Dikhaiye!! Kuchh toh dikhaiye!! Thoda sa-! Argh!! Bhaiya ke chehre par toh koi expressions hi nahi aa rahe.'
Kavya : Umm~ Well! Thanks for waiting!
Usne apne kaan ke peechhe baalo ki latt ko le jaate hue kaha. Aur, idhar Kavya ko aisa karta dekh Yash ka dil baag-baag ho gaya. Use aisa laga jaise Kavya uske saamne sharma rahi thi.
Kintu, sacchaayi toh sirf Veer hi jaanta tha. Kyunki-
*Ding*
[Name : Yash Nagwani
Age : 21 yrs
Bio : Sheher me stationary shops ka business hai. Kavya ko pasand karta hai. Par, rejection se darta hai. Isliye, abhi tak propose nahi kiya hai. Motive farewell ceremony ke din Kavya ko propose karne ka hai.
Relationship : Strangers.
Favorability : 5]
Yash ko ek baar check karne pe hi, Veer ne sab kuchh turant bhaanp liya. Woh taajub me nahi tha. Woh jaanta tha ki uski behan Kavya ke chaahne waale bhi kayi honge. Taajub woh iss baat se tha ki kaise uski behan ne aaj herr-ferr karte hue use jealous feel karwaane ki koshish ki.
Kavya : Ah! By the way, bhaiya ye Yash hai. Mera classmate. Hum group project me bhi EK SAATH hai. Aur, Yash ye mere bhaiya hai. Veer!
Usne 'ek saath' kehte waqt kuchh zyada hi zorr daala. Veer sab kuchh samajh raha tha. Par, inn maamuli tricks ko bhaapne me use zyada samay na laga. Aur, bhala woh jaante hue iss trick me kaise fass sakta tha?
Yash (offers hand) : H-Hello!
Veer ko dekh ke hi Yash kaafi intimidate ho chuka tha. Ek toh Veer tha hi itna handsome aur upar se Kavya ka bhai.
Veer (takes hand) : Hello!
Yash : Toh aap hi woh Veer ho na? Jo news me bhi bahut charcha me the kuchh waqt pehle. Kaafi suna hai aapke baare me. Haha!
Veer : Oh? Well, yes!
Kavya : Waise-! Aaj kya karwaya, Yash?
Yash : Aaj maths me ek leftover topic complete hua aur baaki toh labs me hi time nikal gaya.
Kavya : Phew! Achha hua aaj mein nahi aayi. Poora din waste ho jaata warna.
Yash : Tum aati toh time ka pata hi nahi lagta Kavya, hahaha!
Kavya : What? Hahaha! You are so funny~
Kehte hue woh khil-khila ke hasi. Baar-baar uski nigaahein bagal me khade Veer ke chehre par mandra rahi thi taaki, woh dekh sake ki kya uske bhaiya thodi si bhi jealousy feel kar rahe hai? Magar, bechari ke haath agar kuchh lagi toh sirf — naraazgi.
Par, iske pehle ki woh aage baatein kar paate ek awaaz unke bagal se aayi.
"Veer?"
Veer ne mud kar jab dekha toh paaya ki ek ladki college ki building se nikal seedhe unki orr hi aa rahi thi.
'Wait-! Who was she again-!? Ah! Right!'
Veer : Pragya!!?
Jaise hi Pragya ne use dekha, uska chehra khil utha. System milne ke baad se hi Veer ne iss ladki ko kam hi dekha tha. Exams ko chhor woh bamushkil hi college aata tha, aur aaj bhi woh aisi thi jaise kuchh badla hi na ho.
Pragya : H-Hey! Long time no see, Veer!
Woh boli. Uski aankhein jigyasa se chamak rahi thi. Usne Kavya, Yash aur anya logo ki orr dekha lekin turant hi unhe ignore kar diya, uska poora dhyaan Veer par tha.
Pragya : We need to catch up! It's been a long time! Kya hum baat kar sakte hai?
Veer (nods) : Yeah! Sure!
Pragya ne use apne saath chalne ke ishaara kiya toh Veer haami bharte hue uske bagal se aage chal diya. Aur, bechaari Kavya wahi ki wahi khadi reh gayi. Avishvas me!
'W-Wait-! What? Bh-Bhaiya???'
Veer ko Pragya ke saath jaata dekh Kavya ke mann me uthal-puthal mach gayi.
'What just happened? Ahhh!!!'
Woh chaahti thi ki Veer ko irshya mehsoos ho, woh dekhe ki Yash jaise kitne ladke uske peechhe pade hue the. Lekin, ab Veer ko Pragya ke sang akele me baat karte hue dekh khud uske seene me ek andhruni dard uth gaya. Ek anjaan si anubhuti andar se jaise chubhi.
Toh wahi idhar Pragya aur Veer unn sab se chalte hue thoda aage aa chuke the.
Veer : Tumhara toh graduation ho gaya hoga na? You were my senior.
Pragya (smiles) : Of course! Mein yaha apne chhote cousin bhai ke liye aayi thi. Woh bhi yahi par hai. Actually, uska kal accident ho gaya toh uske badle mein uske project submission ke liye aayi thi.
Veer : Ohh! Kuchh major toh nahi?
Pragya : Nahi! Fortunately, minor accident tha.
Veer : So? Which company?
Pragya (smiles) : Globerays!
Sunte hi Veer ke kaan khade ho gaye. Koi shaq nahi tha ki 'Globerays' India ki one of the finest tech companies me se ek thi. Agar 'Nexacom' jaise bade conglomerate group ko hata diya jaaye toh tech field me 'Globerays' ka naam hi sabse pehle aata tha. Aur, isme bhi koi hairat ki baat nahi thi ki waha kaam karne waala vyakti bade hi garv se 'Globerays' ka naam leta tha.
Veer : I see!
Pragya : Par, tumhara kya? Tum kidhar gaayab rehte ho?
Veer : Mein mostly exams dene bas aata hu.
Pragya : Oh, right! Ab toh aap mister celebrity jo bann gaye ho, haan? I saw it on social media.
Veer : Haha! Naah! It's nothing much.
Pragya : Don't be modest. Khul ke accept kiya karo, Veer. Oh, right! Maine abhi poochha tha andar. Tumhare exams bhi start hone waale hai. Andar jaa ke ek baar invigilator se mil lena toh better rahega. Warna exam time ye dikkat denge.
Veer : Sure! Thank you!
Woh aur Pragya aapas me lage the aur idhar Kavya ko Yash ki awaaz kisi bhin-bhinaate machhar ke samaan lag rahi thi. Woh use sunn hi nahi rahi thi. Uski nazre Veer aur Pragya par hi tiki thi. Dono bahut qareeb khade hue the, kitna hass-hass ke baat kar rahe the, aur akhir kaar uska maatha thanak hi gaya.
'K-Kaun hai ye ladki?'
Usne pehle kabhi Pragya ko Veer ke saath nahi dekha tha. Aur, agar kabhi dekha bhi tha toh use yaad nahi ki college me koi ladki uske bhaiya ke itna close thi. Upar se woh uske bhaiya ke saath itni comfortable kyu lag rahi thi? Nahi! Iss se bhi bada sawaal —Uske bhaiya uss maamooli si ladki par itna dhyaan kyu de rahe the?
Usne apne honth bheenche, aur apne andar umad rahe toofan ko dabaane ki koshish karne lagi. Ye pehli baar tha jab use jealousy ki anubhuti hui. Kaha woh Veer ko jealous feel karwaane chali thi. Aur, kaha ab woh khud hi jealous feel kar rahi thi.
'N-Nahi-!! Aisa nahi hona tha!!! Bh-Bhaiya! Aapko- Aapko yaha hona chahiye tha. Aapko jealous feel hona chahiye tha. Kisi aur aeri-geri ladki se baat nahi-!'
Yash : Umm-! Kavya, tum sunn rahi ho na?
Kavya : Ehh? Ahh! Haan! *nods* H-Haan project! Right! H-Hum baad me baat karte hai, okay?
Aur, Yash par woh aur waqt zaaya na kar saki. Badhti chinta ki wajah se use kuchh nahi soojh raha tha. Jitna Veer Pragya se hass ke baat karta, utna hi uska gussa badhta jaata.
Iske pehle ki woh kuchh samajh paati, uske qadam apne aap badh gaye. Woh ab aur bardaasht nahi kar sakti thi. Yash ya kisi aur ko kuchh bhi kahe bina, woh seedhe Veer ki orr badhi.
"Bh-Bhaiyaaaaa~"
Usne chillaate hue unn dono ka dhyaan kheencha aur ek jhatke me usne Veer ka haath apni baahon me bhar, use apni orr kheench liya.
Kavya : H-Hume ab chalna hai.
Veer (amazed) : K-Kavya? P-Par, hum abhi-
Kavya (yells) : Nahiiiiiiii-!!!!
Woh chillaayi. Uski aankhon me hatasha thi. Lag raha tha jaise abhi hi woh ro degi.
Kavya : Aapne vaada kiya tha ki aaj hum ek saath time spend karenge. Sirf aap aur mein. SIRF HUM!!!
Woh Pragya ko kisi gussail billi ki tarah ghoor rahi thi. Jaise bataana chaah rahi ho ki uske bhaiya par sirf uska haq hai, kisi aur ka nahi. Aur, Pragya ne bhi unn dono ko dhyaan se dekha.
Pragya : Uh, hum baad me baat karte hai then Veer.
Tanaav ko mehsoos kar woh peechhe hatate hue boli. Aur, jaise hi woh waha se gayi Kavya ne Veer ki baah par apni pakad aur mazboot kar li. Uska dil abhi bhi zorr se dhadak raha tha. Apne jeevan me pehli baar, usne apne seene me kuchh gehra aur teekha mehsoos kiya tha, jo thi — Jealousy. Ekdum raw aur overwhelming!
Kavya : Hmph! Chaliye aap!
Veer : Wait! Mujhe teacher se milna hai.
Kavya : Haan toh chaliye.
Aur, woh use ghaseetate hue andar le jaane lagi.
Yash : Uh-!! K-Kavya? Project?
Kavya : I don't really care. Tum log dekh lena. Mein viva me sambhal lungi.
Yash : What???
Yash ko hairat me chhor Kavya Veer ko andar building me le gayi. Aur, uss se chipak ke hi chalti rahi. Departure ho chuka tha toh bache kuche hi students andar maujood the. Veer ne fatafat teacher se baat ki aur exam ke samay use koi dikkat na ho uska bhi intezam kar liya tha. Woh dono abhi corridor me chalte hue jaa rahe the jab achanak hi-
Veer : Huh???
Kavya use ek khaali classroom me kheechte hue andar le gayi.
Veer : Kavya?
Kavya : Shhh! Awaaz nahi, bhaiya!
Veer : Pagal! Yaha kyu laayi ho? Koi aata hoga. Chalo baahar.
Lekin, usne Veer ki ek na suni. Usne use deewar se tikaaya aur apna ek haath uske sarr ke bagal se le jaate hue deewar par teka.
Kavya : Kaun thi woh ladki?
Veer : Kaun? Pragya?
Kavya : Pragya? Ye Pragya kaun hai? Iske pehle toh maine aapko kabhi nahi dekha uske saath. Itna chipak-chipak ke baat kyu kar rahi thi woh aap se?
Veer andar hi andar muskuraya. Uski ye chhoti behan jalan me aur bhi cute lagti thi.
Veer (smiles) : Well, agar tumhare suitors hai toh mere bhi kuchh suitors hai.
Kavya : Phone dijiye!
Veer : Huh?
Kavya : Phone dijiye! Aapne uske saath number exchange kiya na?
Veer : Well yeah magar-
Aur, Kavya ne ek jhatke me Veer ka phone uske haath se chhina liya. Sabse pehle usne toh Pragya ki phone profile kholi. Uska number block kiya aur fir uske number ko seedha delete hi kar diya.
Veer : What the-!?
Kavya : Ab baat nahi hogi.
Veer : Kya tha ye sab?
Kavya : Aapko sharam nahi aayi? Aapke saamne aapki itni cute si behan waha khadi thi aur aap uss aeri-geri ladki ke saath gul-chharre uda rahe the?
Veer : Well, toh kya aapko sharam nahi aayi madam jab aapka bhai aapke bagal se khada hua tha aur aap uss ladke ke saath nain-matakka kar rahi thi?
Kavya ne uski baat par apni nazre ferr li. Veer ne iss baar Kavya ko deewar se tikaaya aur jhukte hue uske qareeb aaya. Bechari Kavya ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha.
Kavya : T-Toh? Aapko jealousy feel hui ya nahi?
Veer (smiles) : No!
Kavya (yells) : Kyuuuuuu???
Veer : Jealousy uss se feel hoti hai jiske paas apne se zyada kuchh ho. And, for your kind information my dear sister-
Kavya : ???
Veer (leans in) : Waise toh mein kabhi apni tareef nahi karta but just remember one thing - Your elder brother is in a league of his own. Mujhe Yash jaiso ke saath compare karna hi, tumhara loss tha. And, you understand that very well, right? My sweetheart?
Kehte hue jaise hi woh peechhe mudne ko hua Kavya ne use pakad zorr se kheencha aur uske sarr ko haatho me lete hue-
*Kiss*
'???'
Veer ki aankhein aashcharya me chaudi ho gayi. Kavya ne apne honth uske hontho se jod diye the. Uske honth itne narm the ki Veer ki aankhein uss adhbhut ehsaas me band ho gayi. Woh uske hontho ko kaat bhi rahi thi. Aur, jab Veer ko dhyaan aaya ki woh dono kaha par hai, woh ek jhatke me use pakad peechhe hua.
Veer : Kavya? What the hell?
Kavya : *huff* *huff* Don't worry! Iss classroom me koi cameras nahi hai, bhaiya.
Veer : Y-You-!!!
Kavya : Aap bahut gande ho. But I still love you. Ahinda se aap mere saath hoke mujhe chhor kisi aur ladki ko bhaav diye, toh yaad rakhna, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. *huff*
Veer : Kavya ki bacchi- *huff*
Kavya (blushes) : Iss se pehle ki koi aaye. Lo bhaiya- *blushes* Maine kaha tha aapse ki aap baad me daba lena. Toh- *blushes* lo!!
Usne apna seena Veer ke saamne kar diya. Ye pehli baar tha jab Veer khud sharma gaya. Usne Kavya ka haath pakda aur use waha se leke nikalne ke liye hua, jab Kavya ne virodh kiya aur boli.
Kavya : Bhaiya!
Veer (glances) : ???
Kavya (blushes) : I love you~
Veer (blushes) : Love you too! Ab chal paagal!
Uski ye chhoti behan itni jaldi itni bold hoti jaa rahi thi ki college ke classroom me hi use kiss tak kar baithi thi. Iska kuchh karna padega. Yahi soch Veer use waha se leke baahar nikal gaya.
Toh wahi dusri taraf Kritika aur Karan bhi kuchh aisi hi paristhiti me the. Kritika toh pehle hi Kavya ki baat maan kar pachhta rahi thi. Kavya ka plan hi yahi tha.
Kritika scooty par baithe drive kar rahi thi aur Karan theek uske peechhe tha. Kavya ke kehne par usne jhooth keh toh diya ki use gaadi chalaana theek se nahi aata magar, ab woh pachhta rahi thi. Kyunki, jitni baar Karan uski kamar ko pakadta utni baar woh bechari jhatka kha kar reh jaati.
Aur, unki ye meeting lovely kam awkwardness se zyada bhari thi. Tabhi, Karan ka phone baj utha. Caller Raghu tha. Usne jaise hi call utha ke phone apne kaan se lagaaya uske chehre ke bhaav badal gaye.
'Damn it!'
Karan : Kritika! Mujhe jaana hoga. Ek zaroori kaam aa gaya hai.
Kritika : Huh? O-Ok! Thank you, aaj aane ke liye.
Karan : No worries Kritika. Mein baad me bhi aa jaunga. Lekin, abhi jaana hoga. Hum baad me milte hai, okay?
Kritika (nods) : Mmm~
Aur, Karan apni gaadi uthaate hue waha se nikal gaya. Raaste me hi usne fatafat Veer ko call bhidaaya jo khud apni car me raaste me hi tha.
Veer : Hello?
Karan : Fuckin' hell- Veer!!!
Veer : Kya hua?
Karan : Ghar par police aayi hai mere.
Veer : Huh? Kya matlab?
Karan : Raghu ka phone aaya tha abhi. Usne bataya ki ghar par police aayi hai. Meri gaadi Blue Mulsanne ke baare me poochh rahi hai. Aur, tum jaante ho ki maine ye gaadi kab nikaali thi.
Veer (frowns) : Slogan-!! That night-
Karan : Right!!
Veer : Tum sambhal loge?
Karan : Well, yeah! Mujhe nahi lagta ki woh mujhe aise under arrest kar payenge. Mein kaise bhi kar ke bach jaunga. Mujhe yakeen hai police yaha uske liye hi aayi hai. Ek saal baad inhe yaad aa rahi hai uss case ki? What the hell!! Maine tumhe warn kar diya hai. Agar, kuchh hota hai toh mujhe batana. I'll send the help.
Veer (nods) : Alright!
*Call ends*
Veer ne call rakha hi tha jab uska phone fir baj utha. Aur, iss baar caller thi — Divya!
Veer : Hello?
Divya : Kaha ho tum?
Veer : Mein raaste me hu. On my way to hotel prestige.
Divya : Yaha aao jaldi.
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : FBCC se mujhe new assignment mil chuka hai. Ye jo murders ho rahe hai use leke FBCC ne apni chinta jataayi hai. Aur, unka ye maanana hai ki ye bahut bada case hai. Isliye, woh apni help provide kar rahi hai. FBCC ne Indian government se baat kar li hai. Toh, mujhe iss case me entry karne me koi dikkat nahi hogi.
Veer : So?
Divya : Are you willing to join me? Don't worry! Mein tumhari profile ka band-o-bast kar dungi. You can be my assistant. Just like old times. Will you?
Divya ne ye offer jaan boojh ke diya tha. Kyunki, Rebecca ke bol use achhi tarah se yaad the.
'Remember, Mrs. Divya! There is something special about Veer. Koi bhi aam insaan itna capable nahi ho sakta ki woh house of the killer jaisi mystery ko yu hi hal kar de. Keval aur keval ek talented individual hi ise anjaam de sakta hai. Don't you think? Toh- Kya aapko nahi lagta ki Veer aapse kuchh chhipa raha hai?'
'Iska matlab aap chaahti hai ki?'
'Yes! Yes, Mrs. Divya! Yes! I want you to unveil the secrets of not only the murders. But also the secrets of Veer. Maybe- Agar, mujhe uske talent ki pushti mil jaaye toh shayad mein use ek offer bhi dedu. That is- to join the FBCC. I'll assign him under your care.'
'Y-Yes Director!'
Divya khud bhi Veer ko leke bahut jigyasu thi. China me bhi usne koshish ki thi Veer ke baare me gehrayi se jaanane ki. Akhir, woh kaise crime se sambandhit mysteries me itna maahir tha? Aur, agar ye uska natural talent tha toh woh chaahti hi thi ki Veer ko FBCC me woh apne saath le aaye. Kahi na kahi ek swaarth se bhara kaaran bhi tha iske peechhe, jo sirf Divya ka antarmann hi jaanta tha.
Toh wahi Veer ne jaise hi Divya ke mukh se ye suna, uske honth muskaan me fel gaye. Use kal hi mission mila tha inn murders ke raaz par se parda hataane ka. Aur, Divya khud uske paas chalte hue aa gayi.
Veer : I will join you. Lekin, meri ek shart hai.
Divya : Just name it, Veer!
Aur, fir Veer ne apni maang rakh di.

Skylight,
Kishore's skyscraper house,
Mumbai, Evening - 5:10 PM ~
Kuchh der pehle ~
Nexacom industries ka ye tower — Skylight, Mumbai ke kshitij ke saamne khada tha, jo glass, steel aur ambition ki ek akhand sanrachna tha. Bharat ke sabse bade samooh, Nexacom ke sanrakshak, Kishor ki ye bahumanzila gagan-chumbi imaarat, ek ghar se kahi adhik thi — Ye taaqat, dhan aur virasat ka prateek thi. Meelo door se dikhayi dene waali ye building kisi shaasak ki tarah shaasan karti nazar aati thi. Imaarat ki design aadhunik vaastukala ka woh namoona tha jo duniya ki behatreen imaarato ko takkar deta tha.
Premises me qadam rakhte hi aisa mehsoos hota tha maano ek alag hi duniya me qadam rakh diya ho. Imported Italian marbles se susajjit floor, luxury cars se bhara parking area aur pratyek dwar ke dono orr hare-bhare bageeche, jinme duniya bhar se laaye gaye phoolo ko badi hi savdhani se maali ke dwara rakha gaya tha.
Imaarat ke theek saamne ek khubsoorat jharna bhi tha jo sooraj ki raushni me jhil-milaata hua nazar aa raha tha.
Aur, ye sab toh kuchh bhi nahi tha. Andar ki luxury toh iss se bhi aakarshak thi. Mehnge se mehnge granite se bani lobby, upar latakta hua crystals ka jhoomar, har ek crystal ek prasiddh French atelier ke haatho dwara cut kiya gaya. Khaali uss jhoomar ki keemat hi Mumbai me ek chhote ghar jitni thi.
Inspector Trisha ka dil tezi se dhadak raha tha. Usne iss se pehle bhi badi-badi imaaratein dekhi thi, lekin aisi koi nahi. Skylight sirf ek ghar nahi tha — ye Adarsh parivar ka ek smaarak tha. Jaise-jaise woh building ke nazdeek aa rahi thi, architecture ki dara dene waali oonchaayi ne use shan bhar ke liye apne faisle ke baare me dobaara sochne par majboor kar diya, lekin apne kandhe seedhe kar Trisha ne apne sankalp ko dridh nischit kiya aur aage badhi.
Akhirkaar, Karan sirf ek ladka hi tha — India ke sabse bade conglomerate ka uttradhikari, haan — lekin fir bhi, ek ladka hi.
Jaise hi usne cham-chamaate hue hall ke andar pravesh kiya, uske hosh udd gaye. Naram sunehri raushni ne deewaro ko nehla rakha tha, jiska reflection marble ki flooring par saaf ho raha tha. Hawa ek intoxicating scent se perfumed thi.
Aur, Trisha ko akhirkaar iss jagah ka bhaar mehsoos hua. Dum ghotne waali luxury uss par iss tarah se dabaav daal rahi thi jaise ki deewarein bhi use yaha uski tuchhata ki yaad dilaane ki saazish kar rahi ho.
Woh abhi yaha hall me aayi hi thi aur usne abhi kuchh kaha bhi nahi tha jab ek servant ne use aage jaane ka ishaara kiya. Haami bharte hue woh na chaahte hue bhi aage badhi aur tabhi do female servants apni tailored uniforms pehne uski orr aayi aur apni rehearsed smile ke saath uska swaagat kari. Unke movements ekdum shaant aur elegant the, maano jaise woh marble ko bina chhue hi uss par terr rahi ho.
Trisha ne iske pehle kabhi bhi iss tarah ki hospitality ka experience nahi liya tha. Iske pehle bhi woh bade se bade ameer se ameer logo ke gharo me gayi hui thi, lekin jo baat yaha thi woh kahi aur nahi thi. Ye sirf dhan nahi tha — ye woh dhan tha jo sammaan ki maang karta tha.
Agar, ye hall nahi tha? Toh kya tha? Woh servants ke dwara aur andar le jaayi jaa rahi thi. Jaise-jaise woh main hall ki orr badh rahi thi use deewaro par latki hui tarah-tarah ki anmol aakritiya aur paintings nazar aa rahi thi.
Usne apna sarr hilaaya, woh yaha bhay-bheet hone nahi aayi thi; woh yaha nyaay ke liye aayi thi. Kisi bhi prakar ki luxury ya fizool-kharchi use apne kartavya se vichlit nahi kar sakti thi. Aisa uska maanana tha.
Aur, jaise hi woh main hall me aayi, luxury seedhiyo se neeche aate hue Kishore use nazar aaya. Uske chehre par muskaan thi. Kahi se bhi aisa nahi laga jaise woh ek ahankaari businessman ho. Jis ladke ka saamna karne ke liye usne apne aap ko taiyaar kiya tha woh toh kahi nahi dikha lekin uske pita zaroor uske saamne the.
Saath hi usne dekha ki kaale kapde pehne do bodyguards bhi khade hue the, jo koi aur nahi — Raghu aur Jassi the.
Kishore jab neeche utar ke aaya toh usne apne haath felaate hue bola-
Kishore (smiles) : Inspector Trisha! Please! Have a seat!
Usne ek kursi ki orr ishaara kiya, jis par baithna toh door, chhoona bhi bahut mehnga lag raha tha.
Trisha : A-Aap mujhe jaante hai?
Kishor (smiles) : Mujhe jagah-jagah ki khabar lag jaati hai. Aap haal hi me nayi aayi hai Thane police station me. Abhi-abhi transfer hua hai. Kahiye! Aaj yaha kaise aana hua?
Trisha jhijhki, lekin Kishore ke narm swar ke kaaran uske paas koi vikalp na raha. Woh baithi aur use apne perro ke neeche behad hi narm kaaleen ka ehsaas hua. Ye araam use aur bhi pareshan kar raha tha. Usne apni reedh par chadhi ajeeb si bechaini ko jhakjhorne ki koshish ki, woh toh yaha iss apeksha ke saath aayi thi ki use yaha ghamand, abhimaan, paiso ka rutba aur apni beizzati dekhne ko milegi. Parantu, yaha toh filhal aisa kuchh bhi na tha.
Kishore : Toh kahiye! Kaise aana hua madam?
Trisha : M-Mein pichhle saal ke ek dabe hue case ki investigation kar rahi hu. A-Aur- Aur, mujhe aapke bete ke khilaaf kuchh saboot mile hai.
Usne kaha. Tanaav ke bawajood uski awaaz dridh thi.
Trisha : Pichhle saal ek wanted gangster leader maara gaya tha. Lekin, uski maut ke pehle woh ek car chase me shaamil tha. Uss car chase me, hume ek car ka number nazar aaya hai cctv footage se. Aur, ye car humaare control room ki jankari ke mutabik aapke bete Karan ki hai.
Kishore ki bauhe thodi sikud gayi, lekin uski awaaz narm thi.
Kishore : Mein aapki chinta ko samajhta hu, inspector. Aap chinta mat kijiye. Mere beta poora co-operate karega. Par, kya mein aapse poochh sakta hu ki aapke pass iska kya proof hai?
Trisha (nods) : J-Ji! *glances* Shekhar-!
Trisha ne Shekhar ko dekh uss se video ki demand ki toh Shekhar ne wahi cctv clip ko Kishore ke paas le jaate hue dikhaaya.
Kishore : Hmm! Dekhiye, madam. Mujhe toh pata nahi ki ye gaadi mere bete ki hai ya nahi. Ghar me itni gaadiyaan hai ki mein har ek ke number yaad toh karta nahi firunga. *smiles* Hai na? Lekin, mera beta iski pushti zaroor kar sakta hai. Raghu?
Raghu : J-Ji, sir?
Kishore : Karan ko phone kar ghar bulao.
Raghu : J-Ji!
Aur, Raghu ne kamre se baahar nikal Karan ko phone kar jaldbazi me sab bata diya. Yahi woh waqt tha jab Karan ko iska pata chala aur usne fatafat Veer ko bhi sachet kar diya.
Kishore : Ek baat aur inspector madam.
Trisha : Huh?
Kishore : Aap jaanti hai ki agar mera beta nirdosh saabit hua toh kya hoga?
Trisha : K-Kya hoga?
Kishore : Arey mere liye ye buri baat hogi na?
Trisha : What?
Kishore : Aap iss waqt kiske ghar me hai?
Trisha : Mister Kishore Adarsh ke ghar me.
Kishore (smiles) : Aap iss waqt India ke sabse bade conglomerate ko own karne waale shaks ke ghar me baithi hai. Ab aap din-dahaade mere ghar me aati hai, mere bete par ilzaam lagaati hai aur paati hai ki woh nirdosh hai. Toh, meri image ka kya? Nexacom ki image ka kya? Baahar raah chalte log ye dekhenge toh kya sochenge?
Trisha (frowns) : A-Aap kehna kya chaahte hai?
Kishore : Kehna ye chaahta hu inspector madam ki insaan ki image bahut maayne rakhti hai. Baaki, aap samajhdar hai. Umeed hai aap meri expectations par khadi utrengi.
Ye vaakya salaah kam aur dhamki zyada lag raha tha. Trisha ke liye na jaane kitne prakaar ki savouries aur delicacies uske saamne prastut ki gayi lekin, usne kuchh bhi na liya. Kishore ke baar-baar kehne par akhirkaar usne ek cup chai ke liye haan keh hi diya.
Samay guzra aur tabhi kuchh der baad Karan ghar me enter hua. Woh kahi se bhi dara hua nazar nahi aa raha tha. Woh seedha andar aaya, aur bade hi shaant swabhav se woh unke saamne baith gaya.
Karan : Ji? Mujhe pata laga ki aap mere liye yaha aayi hai?
Trisha : Dekhiye! Mujhe bas aapse kuchh sawaal-jawaab karne hai. Pehle toh he bataiye ki iss video me jo car hai, woh aapki hai?
Wahi video clip Karan ko bhi dikhayi gayi. Aur, iss beech Kishore badi hi bareeki se apne bete ko dekh raha tha. Usne kuchh kaha nahi, sirf cheezon ko ghatate dekh raha tha.
Karan (nods) : Ji haan! Ye car meri hai.
Trisha : Good! Then, mister Karan aapko inspection ke liye police station chalna hoga. Aur, hamaare kuchh sawaalo ke jawaab dene honge.
Karan : Now wait a minute. Maine kaha ye car meri hai. Lekin, iske peechhe bhala mein police station kyu jau?
Trisha : Uss raat aap kya kar rahe the waha? Aapki gaadi itni saari gaadiyo ke peechhe kya kar rahi thi?
Karan : Ah! Well-! Jassi! Please, inhe samjhao.
Jassi (nods) : Uss raat humaare Sir musibat me the. Humari Miss Kaera par attack hua tha aur hum sirf gaadi ka peechha kar hamla karne waale ko rokne ki koshish kar rahe the.
Trisha ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi. Use kuchh aisa haasil hua tha jaise maano uski isne kalpana hi nahi ki thi. Report me toh aisa kuchh bhi mentioned nahi tha.
Trisha : K-Kya matlab?
Jassi : Matlab ye ki Miss Kaera Nexacom ki owner hai. Aur, unhe rokne ke liye rival companies buri se buri saazishein rachti hai. Ab hume ye toh nahi pata lag paaya ki hamla kisne karwaya tha lekin, ek wahi gaadi thi jis se hamla hua tha.
Trisha : Aur, ye hamla xxxxxxxx hotel me hua tha?
Jassi (nods) : Ji bilkul!
Trisha (yells) : Toh waha ke hotel ke paas iski koi bhi footage kyu nahi hai?
Jassi : Kyunki, ye ek planned ambush thi. Jisne bhi hamla karwaya tha woh nahi chaahta hoga ki ye sab kuchh record hoye. Aur, waise bhi- Inn sab ka pata lagaana aapka kaam hai. Na ki humaara.
Trisha : Tsk-!!!
Jassi ne safed jhooth bol diya. Sacchayi toh ye thi ki Slogan ko maarne ka plan Veer ka tha. Hotel ke baahar cameras ka disable hona, waha Steve ko snipers dwara marwana aur fir Slogan ki car ka peechha karna, ye sab kuchh Veer ne hi karwaya tha.
Kintu, Jassi ne saara ilzaam badi hi saralta se marey hue Slogan par daal diya. Na hi Trisha Slogan ke paas jaa ke iski pushti karwa sakti thi aur na hi woh apne ekmaatra saboot ko chhorna chaahti thi jo Jassi ke dwara use mil raha tha. Hotel me jaa ke usne poochh-taachh kar hi li thi. Aur, jis bhi employee ne cameras disable kiye the uska ata-pata nahi tha. Agar woh iss employee ke baare me details nikalwaane bhi jaaye toh hotel waalo ke paas use gol-gol ghumaane ke kayi raaste the.
Trisha badle me kuchh keh bhi nahi sakti thi. Kyunki, police complaint bhi Nexacom ke dwara hi ki gayi thi. Baad me police ko hi paisa dekar shaant kar diya gaya tha aur isliye, ye case thande baste me daba diya gaya tha.
Trisha : Iska matlab aap uss car chase ke baare me bahut kuchh jaante hai. Isliye, aapko mere saath-
Jassi : Mein chalne ko taiyaar hu. Magar, Sir nahi jaa sakte.
Trisha : K-Kya?
Karan : Bilkul! Mein agree karta hu ki car meri hai par ise mein thodi chala raha tha.
Trisha : ???
Jassi : Zaahir si baat hai. Bodyguards hone ke naate ye humara kaam tha uss hamlavar ka peechha karna. Sir ko gaadi me baitha ke hum unki jaan ko khatre me kyu daalenge bhala?
Karan : Bilkul! Hamla jab hua tha toh mujhe yaad hai, mujhe aur di ko safely ghar bhijwaya diya gaya tha. Uske baad waha kya hua, mujhe koi idea nahi. Aur, na hi mujhe wo baatein bataayi gayi. *shrugs*
Karan ko achhi tarah se ghoorne ke baad Trisha uski reasoning par sawaal na utha saki. Ye common sense ki baat thi ki khatre ke peechhe aadmi khud kyu jaayega? Khaaskar tab jab woh Nexacom jaisi badi company ka ek maalik ho.
Trisha (frowns) : Hotel se ek laash bhi baramad hui thi.
Jassi : Hume nahi pata woh kaun tha. Jab waha uss vyakti ka khoon hua tabhi hume humle ka andesha hua.
Trisha : Aur, aap jo uss gaadi ko follow kar rahe the. Aap jaante hai usme kaun tha? One of the most wanted criminals - Slogan!
Naam sunte hi Kishore ke kaan khade ho gaye. Woh toh ye sab pehle se jaanta tha. Woh jaanta tha ki Slogan naam ka vyakti uski beti ke peechhe tha. Yaha tak ki woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan wahi tha jisne saalo pehle uske ghar ke maali ko maar paint se deewar par — 'killed by Slogan' likha tha.
Kishore ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan ka khaatma bhi ho chuka tha. Parantu, woh do baaton se anibhigya tha.
Pehli — woh ye nahi jaanta tha ki Slogan ko maarne waale uske aadmi nahi, balki Veer tha. Ye baat Jassi ne uss se chhipaayi thi.
Dusri — use ye nahi pata tha ki Slogan hi wahi Sanjeev tha jiski beti Swati uske haatho maari gayi thi. Kyunki, Slogan banane ke baad Sanjeev kabhi bhi Kishore se face-to-face nahi mila tha.
Trisha : Uss gangster ki laash bhi hume xxxx highway ke paas se baramad hui hai. Toh, mein kaise maan lu ki aap sirf peechha hi kar rahe the?
Jassi : Dekhiye, madam! Mein toh sirf use pakadne ke liye peechha kar raha tha. Lekin, aap meri intention ko kaise proof kar sakti hai ki maine hi use maara hai?
Trisha : Fir bhi, aapko humaare saath chalna hoga.
Jassi : Bilkul! Mein toh taiyaar hi hu. Aapke jo bhi prashn hai, mein unke jawaab dene taiyaar hu.
"Uski koi zaroorat nahi hai."
Peechhe se achanak hi ek awaaz aayi. Jaise hi sabhi ne uss orr dekha toh paaya ki ek khubsoorat lady khadi hui thi aur uske theek bagal se ek ladka bhi tha jo chehre par mask lagaya hua tha.
Ladke ko dekhte hi Karan turant hi use pehchaan gaya aur saath hi hairaan bhi reh gaya. Woh koi aur nahi — Veer hi tha.
Veer ne halka sa apna sarr hilaate hue Karan ko jab aashvasan diya toh usne bhi badle me samajhte hue haami bhari.
Veer ki nazre fir Kishore par tik gayi. Na jaane woh kya soch raha tha, koi nahi jaanta tha. Lekin, ek baat saaf thi ki Kishore ke ateet ko uss se behtar aur koi nahi jaanta tha.
Uske saath khadi woh lady bhi koi aur nahi balki — Divya thi. Usne apni breast pocket se apni ID nikaalte hue Trisha ke saamne ki.
Divya : Special Agent - Divya from FBCC.
Trisha : FBCC?
Divya (smirks) : Mujhe ye dekh ke taajub ho raha hai ki aap ek DSP hote hue itne serious matter ko bhi itna halke me leke chal rahi hai.
Trisha : Kya matlab?
Divya : Matlab ye ki ek officer hote hue aap sheher me ho rahe murders ko leke kya kar rahi hai?
Trisha : Aap kaun hoti hai jo-
Uski baat adhoori hi reh gayi jab uska phone achanak baj utha. Caller swayam uska apna pati tha — Rohan.
Trisha : Hello?
Rohan : Ek zaroori baat bataani thi. Mujhe higher ups se orders aaye hai. Serial murders ke iss case me FBCC bhi shaamil hone waali hai. FBCC ek international bahut badi crime control ki agency hai, Trisha. Ye matter bahut bada hai. Aur, majbooran higher ups ne bhi manzoori de di hai.
Trisha : Wh-What?
Rohan : Ab iss case me Mrs. Divya tumhare saath hongi aur kaam karengi. Basically, unke paas tumse bhi zyada privilege hai iss case me kyunki woh FBCC se hai. Lekin, tum unhe engage rakhne ke liye tasks de sakti ho. Tum samajh rahi ho na mein kya kehna chaah raha hu?
Trisha (nods) : H-Haan mein samajh gayi. I'll deal with it. Thank you!
Rohan : Kuchh bhi ho jaaye, don't get in bad terms with her. Jitna ho sake unhe iss case me engaged rakhna lekin, ye bhi zaroori nahi hai ki poori kamaan unke haath me saunp do. Unhe bas iska pata nahi chalna chahiye ki hum unhe side missions de rahe hai. Because, I want you to be the main figure of this case.
Trisha (nods) : Hmm! Thanks!
Rohan : Aur, iss case par lago. Uss puraane case ko abhi ke liye bhool jao, Trisha.
Na chaahte hue bhi Trisha ne haami bhari. Aur, Jassi aur Karan ko ek baar dekhi.
Trisha : Shayad aap khush-kismati hai. Mein aapse sawaal-jawaab karne firse aaungi. Lekin, filhaal mujhe ek iss se bhi bade case par kaam karna hai.
Usne fir Divya aur Veer ki orr dekha.
Trisha : Chaliye mere saath.
Aur, itna bol woh waha se nikal gayi. Karan hairat me tha. Use koi andaza nahi tha ki Veer uske liye iss tarah se madad leke aayega. Aur, bhi taajub use iss baat se tha ki bhala woh FBCC ki special agent ke saath kya kar raha tha?
Idhar police ke jaate hi Kishore ke haav-bhaav badal gaye. Uske chehre par gambheerta wapas aa gayi.
Kishore : Iss Trisha par thodi nazar rakho, Jassi. Baaki tum jaante ho na? Mujhe ye pasand nahi ki koi aera-gera aadmi mere ghar me aake itni garmi dikhaaye. Woh lucky thi ki woh ek aurat thi. Warna-! Ab tak uska transfer ho gaya hota. Ya fir naukri hi chhin gayi hoti. Use pata hona chahiye ki uski aukaat kya hai.
Jassi : Mein nazar rakhunga, Sir!
Toh wahi, Trisha ke peechhe-peechhe aate hue dono hi Divya aur Veer ne ek chenn ki saans li aur khuspusate hue woh dono baat karne lage.
Divya : Seriously! Ye officer hai ye lawyer? Itna sab kuchh sheher me chal raha hai aur ye puraane case ke peechhe padi hui hai?
Veer : Well! Leave it. Anyways, thanks meri shart maanane ke liye.
Divya : Mujhe ye maanani hi thi. Warna, tumhe shaamil kaise karti?
Veer : Kya lagta hai woh mujhse mera mask utaarne bolegi?
Divya : Agar nahi maani toh utaar dena. Aur, agar maan gayi toh koi zaroorat hi nahi hai. Waise bhi tumhari ID me tumhari shaqal saaf dikh rahi hai.
Usne apni jeb se ek ID nikaalte hue Veer ke saamne hawa me lehraayi.
Veer (amazed) : Tumhare paas ye abhi bhi hai?
Ye wahi ID thi jo Las Vegas ke crime department ne Veer ke liye banaayi thi jab woh 'House of the killers' ke case se deal kar raha tha.
Divya (smiles) : Meri aadat hai kuchh cheezon ko sambhaal ke rakhna... Aur, kuchh logo ko bhi-!
Uski nazre Veer ke chehre par kuchh zyada hi der ke liye tiki rahi. Veer muskuraya aur bina kuchh kahe woh dono aage apni gaadi me baith Trisha ko follow kar police station pahuch gaye.
Bhale hi Veer ki ye ID Las Vegas ke crime department dwara banayi gayi thi aur ye utni authentic bhi nahi thi filhaal ke liye, lekin uski pushti karne waala koi nahi tha.
Divya Veer ko kuchh bhi reason deke iss case me shaamil kar sakti thi. Ye FBCC me special agent hone ke kuchh perks me se ek tha. Woh ye bhi keh sakti thi ki Veer uska trustworthy assistant tha 'house of the killers' case me.
Trisha ne iss beech unn dono ko saari reports se sab kuchh samjhaaya aur saara ikhatta data unke saamne prastut kar diya. Lekin, Veer ka mask use zyada der raas na aaya. Woh waise hi foreign interference se sakht nafrat karti thi.
Trisha (frowns) : Mujhe koi khabar nahi di gayi hai ki aapke alawa bhi koi aur aane waala hai aapke saath.
Divya : Ye mere saath hai. My assistant! Koi dikkat nahi honi chahiye.
Trisha : Aur, ye mask kyu??
Veer (bluntly) : Chehra chhipaane ke liye.
Trisha : Kyu? Shaqal buri hai kya?
Veer (smirks) : Quite the opposite actually!
Jawab itni tapaak se aaya ki kuchh pal ke liye waha sannaata chhaa gaya. Divya ke honth muskaan me halke se fel gaye kyunki woh jaanti thi ki uss mask ke peechhe ek aisa chehra tha jo achhi-khaasi ladkiyo ko apna deewana banaane ke liye kaafi tha.
Toh wahi Trisha ke maathe par silvatein thi. Koi use turant muh pe jawaab de, aisa sunane ki aadat use nahi thi. Aur, woh bhi iss tareeke se.
Trisha (frowns) : Dekho-
Divya : Mrs. Trisha! Mein FBCC se hu. Mera assistant koi aera-gera vyakti nahi hai. He's someone who has worked with me on various major crime cases. Mask isliye, kyunki aksar use undercover hona padta hai. We agents work differently than your local police.
Trisha (frowns) : Local police, huh?
Divya : Well, it's true! Hum cases ki uss gehrayi tak jaate hai jaha police bhi peechhe ho jaati hai. Jab case unke bas ka nahi hota tab hum hi deal karte hai. I was also a former detective in Las Vegas' crime department.
Trisha ko apne pati Rohan ki baat yaad aa gayi. Yahi ki woh Divya se kisi bhi prakar ki berr na rakhe. Mann maarte hue akhir use raazi hona hi pada.
Trisha : Fine! Aur, inn specific 'someone' ka koi naam hoga? Hmm?
Veer : You can call me 'V'
Trisha : V???
Veer : Mere naam ka initial. I think it's good. Isn't it?
Trisha : Well, V or whatever..! Mujhe tum se koi lena dena nahi hai. Mera sirf itna kehna hai Mrs. Divya ki iss shaks ki zimmedari aapki hai. If anything goes wrong-
Divya : Toh woh mere sarr aayega. Jaanti hu. Chinta ki koi baat nahi. Toh, kya ab hum aage badhe?
Trisha ne sab kuchh saamne rakh diya tha. Lekin, woh ye bhi jaanti thi ki inn FBCC ke logo ko case se door kaise rakhna tha.
Trisha : Toh ye dikkat hai. Aapne kaha tha ki aap ek detective reh chuki hai, hai na?
Divya (nods) : Haan!
Trisha : Toh ye hai meri approach. Sabse pehla case — Pune. Mr. Prabhakar ki hatya hui thi.
Veer : *frowns*
[Madhuri ke pita, Master.]
'Yeah!'
Trisha : Waise toh waha ki police ne apni orr se sab kuchh kar liya hai. Par, mujhe lagta hai abhi bhi kuchh missing hai. Aap ek detective ke roop se agar first destination se hote hue baaki areas ko bhi inspect kar aayengi toh ho sakta hai hume koi clue mil jaaye. Baaki, mein aur baaki sab toh hai hi yaha. Aur, agar aapko ye sahi nahi lag raha toh aap hi kuchh suggest kariye.
Divya ne ek pal Veer ko dekha aur jab Veer ne kuchh soch haami bhari toh Divya ne bhi haami bhar di. Samajh toh woh bhi gayi thi ki Trisha use bas case se door rakhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par, aise maamlo me Veer agar raazi hua hai, iska matlab saaf tha ki kahi na kahi ye tarqeeb unke kaam aane waali thi.
Divya (nods) : Okay! Aur, kuchh?
Trisha : Please, jaise hi koi bhi clue haath lage, hume inform kariyega. Aap hi hai jo iss task ko complete kar sakte ho. Kyunki, humara yaha rehna bahut zaroori hai.
Divya : Don't worry!
Trisha : Koi escorts? Mein ek sub-inspector aur control room se-
Divya : Nahi nahi! Iski koi zaroorat nahi. Mein aur mera assistant hi kaafi honge.
Trisha : Are you sure?
Divya (nods) : Yes!! Then, hum nikalte hai.
Divya aur Veer fir kuchh der waha intezar kar gaadi ke liye nikal gaye. Aur, unki manzil thi — Pune!

Ab aage...
Veer ne apni car park ke paas hi parking area me khadi ki, jaha Kavya ne use bulaya hua tha. Sooraj baadlo ke beech dhaka hua tha, hawa halki aur thand mamooli si.
Kavya pehle se hi Veer ka intezar kar waha apni scooty liye khadi use haath hilaate hue bula rahi thi. Aaj usne woollen collar waali ek jacket daal rakhi thi jo asal me fashionable zyada thi aur protective kam.
Toh wahi Veer ne apni grey t-shirt ke upar ek black zip waala light upper daal rakha tha, jisme woh beshaq bahut handsome prateet ho raha tha.
Veer ko aata dekh Kavya mann hi mann muskurayi. Aaj toh woh atyant hi prasann thi. Lekin, saath hi uski aankhon me kuchh tha — Ek shararat jise filhal Veer gaur na kar saka.
'Aaj mein aapka poora faayda uthaungi, bhaiya. Hehe~'
Kavya : Bhaiya~ Aapne promise kiya tha. Yaad hai na? Ab aap bhaag nahi sakte.
Veer ne aate hue uske gaalo ko nocha aur bola.
Veer : Haan haan! Yaad hai. Maine tumhe promise kiya tha ki tum jab bulaogi mein tumhare paas aaunga. Aur, mein humesha apna vaada nibhata hu. Waise, tumhe sach me scooty chalana nahi aata? Ya fir ye bas ek bahaana hai?
Kavya : Mujhe aata hai. Lekin — umm, bheed-bhaad waale ilaaqe me mujhe dikkat hoti hai. I want to learn from the best. *smiles*
Aur, yahi tha Kavya ka plan. Veer ne sahi anumaan lagaya tha. Woh uske sang bas samay vyateet karna chaahti thi.
Veer (sighs) : Theek hai! Toh chalo fir. Mujhe aur bhi kaam hai. Tum chalao, mein peechhe baithata hu.
Kavya ne utsukta se sarr hilaaya aur scooty par aage baith handle ko kass ke pakad li. Veer theek uske peechhe baitha aur jaise hi woh baitha, Kavya ko ehsaas hua ki Veer ki chhaati theek uski peeth par dabb rahi thi.
Waise toh woh dono kaafi nazdeek rehte the lekin iss tarah se ek hi gaadi par itna qareeb baithna aur woh bhi sirf unn dono ka akele rehna, ye apne aap me Kavya ki dhadkane tez karne ke liye kaafi tha. Woh Veer ki garmi, uski upasthiti ko apne itna qareeb mehsoos kar paa rahi thi, ki uski reedh me ek sihran daud gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Uh... Bhaiya... M-Mein chaalu karu ab?
Woh haklaate hue boli, apne gaalo me badhti garmi ko dur karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.
Veer (nods) : Haan! Aur, araam se! Go slow at first. Hum race nahi lagaane jaa rahe.
Kavya ne haami bhari aur scooty chaalu kar aage badhayi, har chhoti-chhoti harqato ke chalte uska dimaag daud raha tha. Jaise hi woh park se guzre sadak par kabhi-kabhar aane waale utaar-chadhaav ke kaaran woh hilte gaye aur unke badan ek dusre se dabte gaye.
Kavya ka chehra ab laal padta jaa raha tha. Veer ko saamne se dekh uss se baat karna ek alag baat thi magar use apne peechhe paana jaha woh peeth se lag ke apni larzish bhari awaaz ke bol kaano me bharta rahe, ye ek alag baat thi. Kavya iske liye taiyaar nahi thi.
Sharma ke toh woh tab reh gayi jab speed breaker ke chalte woh seat se uchhli aur seedhe jaake Veer ki goad me jaa baithi. Aur, fir use kuchh mehsoos hua-
'Huh? Is that his...!?'
Uske vichar uss disha me daude aur jaise hi use iska bodh hua woh sharmaate hue khud ko hi mann hi mann daanti aur zor se apna sarr hilaate hue unn vichaaro ko nikaalne ki koshish karne lagi.
Usne iske pehle bhi Goa me Veer ke ling ko dekha tha. Yaha tak ki usne use blowjob bhi di thi. Lekin, uske bawajood woh uss baare me sochne par abhi bhi sharma jaati thi. Iss beech Veer ka dhyaan poori tarah se raaste par tha.
Veer : Kavya! Right se doggy aa raha hai, sambhal ke-
Kavya : Ehh? A-Ahhh-!!!
*Screech*
Veer : Dhyan rakho. Achha hua maine brake laga diya warna woh doggy bhid sakta tha. Hum crowded area me hai, yaha bheed rahegi. Bahut araam se chalao. Theek hai?
Kavya : Ah! H-Haan! M-Mein dhyaan rakhungi, bhaiya.
Par, bechaari Kavya akhir dhyaan rakhe toh rakhe kaise? Uska poora dhyaan toh Veer kheenche hue tha. Veer ka haath theek uske haath ke upar tha.
Woh thoda aur aage jab badhe tabhi scooty ladkhadi gayi kyunki waha se paidal chalne waale logo ka samooh guzar raha tha. Kavya ne kass ke brake lagaya toh Veer aage jhuk gaya aur santulan banaaye rakhne ke liye uske haath Kavya ki patli kamar par kass ke lipat gaye. Aur, bechari Kavya-
Kavya (yells) : E-Eeeeeek-!!
Veer : Kya kar rahi ho? Aise ekdum se brake nahi lagaate paagal. Isliye, maine kaha tha tumse ki slow chalaana. Aur, perr kyu ghistaati ho neeche? Shoes ghis jayenge poore tumhaare.
'Because it's your fault dumbo bhaiya-!!!'
Woh jaise sthir hoke reh gayi. Usne apni kamar par Veer ke mazboot haatho ki taaqat ka andaaza bakhubi lag chuka tha aur iss se woh aur bhi zyada sharma gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-!! A-Aap bahut k-kass ke pakde ho.
Veer : Hmm? Ohh! S-Sorry! Woh balance banaaye rakhne ke liye mera haath achanak-
Kehte hue jaise hi usne apna haath peechhe kiya, Kavya ne uska haath thaam liya aur wapas se le jaake apni kamar par tika diya.
Kavya (blushes) : M-Maine hataane ko nahi kaha buddhu bhaiya! B-Bas kass ke pakadne ko mana kiya tha. M-Mujhe dard ho raha tha isliye.
Aur, Veer ko akhir samajh aa hi gaya ki uski ye chhoti behan darasal bas ek bahaana dhoondh rahi thi uske saath samay bitaane ka.
Kavya : Toh ab hum- aaaaahhhhhh-!!!!
Woh achanak se chillaayi jaise hi use apne seene par Veer ke haath mehsoos hue. Veer ne uske chhote-chhote thano ko pakad rakha tha.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya!!!! Y-Ye kya kar rahe ho aap?
Veer (smiles) : Hmm? Tumhe pakda hu!
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-! M-Mein maar dungi aapko. Haath hatao please. K-Koi dekh lega.
Veer : Koi hume dekh lega tumhe iski chinta hai? Iski nahi ki mein tumhare inn doodh ko daba raha hu? Hmm?
Kavya : E-Eeeekkk-!!! *huff* Bh-Bhaiya! Hum bhid jayenge. *blushes* P-Please haath hataiye.
Veer : Hoooo~ Aur, na hatau toh?
Kavya (blushes) : Nnnn~ I promise! I promise aap baad me jee bhar ke daba lena. P-Par, abhi, please-!!
Uski iss baat par Veer ne apne haath muskuraate hue peechhe kar liye.
Veer (smiles) : Remember your promise.
Kavya (blushes) : Gande bhaiya!
Veer : Hmm? Ye kya? Tum college le aayi?
Kavya (glances) : Ahh! Dhyaan hi nahi diya maine. Ab aa hi gaye hai toh chalo andar chalte hai. Mujhe kisi se milna bhi hai.
Usne jhooth bola. Darasal, woh college kisi maqsad ke saath aayi thi.
Veer : Huh?
Veer ne apni prashn bhari bauhe upar chadhayi. Kavya ko kisi se milna tha? Gaadi andar le jaate hue woh dono hi parking area ke paas ruk gaye.
Veer : Students baahar aa rahe hai. Abhi abhi hi departure hua hai shayad. Aaj tum nahi gayi college?
Kavya : Nahi bhaiya! Kyunki, exams aane waale hai. Toh mein ghar par hi preparation kar rahi hu. Arey haan! Aap exams nahi doge kya? Aapka last year hai na?
Veer : Yeah! Well-! Let's see. Dena toh padega. I do want my degree.
Kavya : Hehe~ Aapne kuchh padha hi nahi hai. Ab raat bhar jaag-jaag ke guide ratna hehe~
Veer (tickles her) : Tumhe bada maza aa raha hai, haan? Tumhe bada maza aa raha!?
Kavya : Ahahahahahaha~ Bhaiya-!!! Nooo! Gudgudi nii- k-koi dekh lega aise...! Noooo! Ahahahahahaha!!! Phew! Waise ek baat toh hai bhaiya. Aap bahut achhe teacher ho.
Veer : Well, thanks my dear little sister.
Kavya : Lekin, mujhe lagta hai ki mein kuchh aur challenging tasks ke liye bhi taiyaar hu. You know...! *grins*
Veer : Challenging huh!? Crowded area me gaadi chalaane se bhi zyada challenging?
Kavya (nods) : Bilkul! If you know you know. *smiles*
Uski muskaan me ek shararat thi.
Kavya : Anyways! Aaiye! Chaliye!
Woh dono hi campus me daakhil hue, aur Veer ko turant hi logo ke ghoorne ka ehsaas hua — zyadatar nigaahein Kavya par thi lekin ladkiyo ki kuchh utsuk nazre uss par bhi tiki hui thi.
Kavya humesha ki tarah kisi starkid ki tarah, apni bubbly personality liye uske bagal se chal rahi thi. Uska chulbula vyaktitva aur uska aatma-vishvas alag hi jhalak raha tha.
Jaise hi woh kuchh student ke groups se hoke guzre, door se hi unhe ek awaaz sunaayi di.
"Kaaaavyyyaaaaaa-!!!"
Aur, ek ladka khushi-khushi kuchh ladko ke saath chalte hue unki orr aaya. Dekhne me lamba aur chehre se bada hi aam sa lag raha tha.
?? : Kavya!!! Abhi aayi tum?
Kavya : Yash? Haan! Just abhi aayi.
Yash : Aur, mein kab se tumhara wait hi kar raha tha haha! Project me tumhare bina kaise decision le sakte hai hum?
Usne apne aap ko achha dikhaate hue kaha. Kavya uski baat par muskurayi lekin andar hi andar bechari ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha. Woh Yash ke liye yaha nahi thi. Woh yaha Veer ke liye thi. Uski tarqeeb Veer ko jealous feel karwaane ki thi, taaki uske bhaiya ko ye pata lag sake ki aur log bhi hai iss duniya me jo use paane ki chaah rakhte hai.
Aur, isliye usne Yash se yaha milne ko kaha tha. Sab kuchh uske plan ke mutabik chal raha tha. Usne apni aankhon ke kone se Veer ki orr dekha, kuchh pratikriya, kuchh irshya ki umeed ki, lekin Veer ke chehre par koi bhaav nahi the.
'Ahh? Come on-!! Feel jealous bhaiya!! Feel this jealousy. Show me how much you want me!! Dikhaiye!! Kuchh toh dikhaiye!! Thoda sa-! Argh!! Bhaiya ke chehre par toh koi expressions hi nahi aa rahe.'
Kavya : Umm~ Well! Thanks for waiting!
Usne apne kaan ke peechhe baalo ki latt ko le jaate hue kaha. Aur, idhar Kavya ko aisa karta dekh Yash ka dil baag-baag ho gaya. Use aisa laga jaise Kavya uske saamne sharma rahi thi.
Kintu, sacchaayi toh sirf Veer hi jaanta tha. Kyunki-
*Ding*
[Name : Yash Nagwani
Age : 21 yrs
Bio : Sheher me stationary shops ka business hai. Kavya ko pasand karta hai. Par, rejection se darta hai. Isliye, abhi tak propose nahi kiya hai. Motive farewell ceremony ke din Kavya ko propose karne ka hai.
Relationship : Strangers.
Favorability : 5]
Yash ko ek baar check karne pe hi, Veer ne sab kuchh turant bhaanp liya. Woh taajub me nahi tha. Woh jaanta tha ki uski behan Kavya ke chaahne waale bhi kayi honge. Taajub woh iss baat se tha ki kaise uski behan ne aaj herr-ferr karte hue use jealous feel karwaane ki koshish ki.
Kavya : Ah! By the way, bhaiya ye Yash hai. Mera classmate. Hum group project me bhi EK SAATH hai. Aur, Yash ye mere bhaiya hai. Veer!
Usne 'ek saath' kehte waqt kuchh zyada hi zorr daala. Veer sab kuchh samajh raha tha. Par, inn maamuli tricks ko bhaapne me use zyada samay na laga. Aur, bhala woh jaante hue iss trick me kaise fass sakta tha?
Yash (offers hand) : H-Hello!
Veer ko dekh ke hi Yash kaafi intimidate ho chuka tha. Ek toh Veer tha hi itna handsome aur upar se Kavya ka bhai.
Veer (takes hand) : Hello!
Yash : Toh aap hi woh Veer ho na? Jo news me bhi bahut charcha me the kuchh waqt pehle. Kaafi suna hai aapke baare me. Haha!
Veer : Oh? Well, yes!
Kavya : Waise-! Aaj kya karwaya, Yash?
Yash : Aaj maths me ek leftover topic complete hua aur baaki toh labs me hi time nikal gaya.
Kavya : Phew! Achha hua aaj mein nahi aayi. Poora din waste ho jaata warna.
Yash : Tum aati toh time ka pata hi nahi lagta Kavya, hahaha!
Kavya : What? Hahaha! You are so funny~
Kehte hue woh khil-khila ke hasi. Baar-baar uski nigaahein bagal me khade Veer ke chehre par mandra rahi thi taaki, woh dekh sake ki kya uske bhaiya thodi si bhi jealousy feel kar rahe hai? Magar, bechari ke haath agar kuchh lagi toh sirf — naraazgi.
Par, iske pehle ki woh aage baatein kar paate ek awaaz unke bagal se aayi.
"Veer?"
Veer ne mud kar jab dekha toh paaya ki ek ladki college ki building se nikal seedhe unki orr hi aa rahi thi.
'Wait-! Who was she again-!? Ah! Right!'
Veer : Pragya!!?
Jaise hi Pragya ne use dekha, uska chehra khil utha. System milne ke baad se hi Veer ne iss ladki ko kam hi dekha tha. Exams ko chhor woh bamushkil hi college aata tha, aur aaj bhi woh aisi thi jaise kuchh badla hi na ho.
Pragya : H-Hey! Long time no see, Veer!
Woh boli. Uski aankhein jigyasa se chamak rahi thi. Usne Kavya, Yash aur anya logo ki orr dekha lekin turant hi unhe ignore kar diya, uska poora dhyaan Veer par tha.
Pragya : We need to catch up! It's been a long time! Kya hum baat kar sakte hai?
Veer (nods) : Yeah! Sure!
Pragya ne use apne saath chalne ke ishaara kiya toh Veer haami bharte hue uske bagal se aage chal diya. Aur, bechaari Kavya wahi ki wahi khadi reh gayi. Avishvas me!
'W-Wait-! What? Bh-Bhaiya???'
Veer ko Pragya ke saath jaata dekh Kavya ke mann me uthal-puthal mach gayi.
'What just happened? Ahhh!!!'
Woh chaahti thi ki Veer ko irshya mehsoos ho, woh dekhe ki Yash jaise kitne ladke uske peechhe pade hue the. Lekin, ab Veer ko Pragya ke sang akele me baat karte hue dekh khud uske seene me ek andhruni dard uth gaya. Ek anjaan si anubhuti andar se jaise chubhi.
Toh wahi idhar Pragya aur Veer unn sab se chalte hue thoda aage aa chuke the.
Veer : Tumhara toh graduation ho gaya hoga na? You were my senior.
Pragya (smiles) : Of course! Mein yaha apne chhote cousin bhai ke liye aayi thi. Woh bhi yahi par hai. Actually, uska kal accident ho gaya toh uske badle mein uske project submission ke liye aayi thi.
Veer : Ohh! Kuchh major toh nahi?
Pragya : Nahi! Fortunately, minor accident tha.
Veer : So? Which company?
Pragya (smiles) : Globerays!
Sunte hi Veer ke kaan khade ho gaye. Koi shaq nahi tha ki 'Globerays' India ki one of the finest tech companies me se ek thi. Agar 'Nexacom' jaise bade conglomerate group ko hata diya jaaye toh tech field me 'Globerays' ka naam hi sabse pehle aata tha. Aur, isme bhi koi hairat ki baat nahi thi ki waha kaam karne waala vyakti bade hi garv se 'Globerays' ka naam leta tha.
Veer : I see!
Pragya : Par, tumhara kya? Tum kidhar gaayab rehte ho?
Veer : Mein mostly exams dene bas aata hu.
Pragya : Oh, right! Ab toh aap mister celebrity jo bann gaye ho, haan? I saw it on social media.
Veer : Haha! Naah! It's nothing much.
Pragya : Don't be modest. Khul ke accept kiya karo, Veer. Oh, right! Maine abhi poochha tha andar. Tumhare exams bhi start hone waale hai. Andar jaa ke ek baar invigilator se mil lena toh better rahega. Warna exam time ye dikkat denge.
Veer : Sure! Thank you!
Woh aur Pragya aapas me lage the aur idhar Kavya ko Yash ki awaaz kisi bhin-bhinaate machhar ke samaan lag rahi thi. Woh use sunn hi nahi rahi thi. Uski nazre Veer aur Pragya par hi tiki thi. Dono bahut qareeb khade hue the, kitna hass-hass ke baat kar rahe the, aur akhir kaar uska maatha thanak hi gaya.
'K-Kaun hai ye ladki?'
Usne pehle kabhi Pragya ko Veer ke saath nahi dekha tha. Aur, agar kabhi dekha bhi tha toh use yaad nahi ki college me koi ladki uske bhaiya ke itna close thi. Upar se woh uske bhaiya ke saath itni comfortable kyu lag rahi thi? Nahi! Iss se bhi bada sawaal —Uske bhaiya uss maamooli si ladki par itna dhyaan kyu de rahe the?
Usne apne honth bheenche, aur apne andar umad rahe toofan ko dabaane ki koshish karne lagi. Ye pehli baar tha jab use jealousy ki anubhuti hui. Kaha woh Veer ko jealous feel karwaane chali thi. Aur, kaha ab woh khud hi jealous feel kar rahi thi.
'N-Nahi-!! Aisa nahi hona tha!!! Bh-Bhaiya! Aapko- Aapko yaha hona chahiye tha. Aapko jealous feel hona chahiye tha. Kisi aur aeri-geri ladki se baat nahi-!'
Yash : Umm-! Kavya, tum sunn rahi ho na?
Kavya : Ehh? Ahh! Haan! *nods* H-Haan project! Right! H-Hum baad me baat karte hai, okay?
Aur, Yash par woh aur waqt zaaya na kar saki. Badhti chinta ki wajah se use kuchh nahi soojh raha tha. Jitna Veer Pragya se hass ke baat karta, utna hi uska gussa badhta jaata.
Iske pehle ki woh kuchh samajh paati, uske qadam apne aap badh gaye. Woh ab aur bardaasht nahi kar sakti thi. Yash ya kisi aur ko kuchh bhi kahe bina, woh seedhe Veer ki orr badhi.
"Bh-Bhaiyaaaaa~"
Usne chillaate hue unn dono ka dhyaan kheencha aur ek jhatke me usne Veer ka haath apni baahon me bhar, use apni orr kheench liya.
Kavya : H-Hume ab chalna hai.
Veer (amazed) : K-Kavya? P-Par, hum abhi-
Kavya (yells) : Nahiiiiiiii-!!!!
Woh chillaayi. Uski aankhon me hatasha thi. Lag raha tha jaise abhi hi woh ro degi.
Kavya : Aapne vaada kiya tha ki aaj hum ek saath time spend karenge. Sirf aap aur mein. SIRF HUM!!!
Woh Pragya ko kisi gussail billi ki tarah ghoor rahi thi. Jaise bataana chaah rahi ho ki uske bhaiya par sirf uska haq hai, kisi aur ka nahi. Aur, Pragya ne bhi unn dono ko dhyaan se dekha.
Pragya : Uh, hum baad me baat karte hai then Veer.
Tanaav ko mehsoos kar woh peechhe hatate hue boli. Aur, jaise hi woh waha se gayi Kavya ne Veer ki baah par apni pakad aur mazboot kar li. Uska dil abhi bhi zorr se dhadak raha tha. Apne jeevan me pehli baar, usne apne seene me kuchh gehra aur teekha mehsoos kiya tha, jo thi — Jealousy. Ekdum raw aur overwhelming!
Kavya : Hmph! Chaliye aap!
Veer : Wait! Mujhe teacher se milna hai.
Kavya : Haan toh chaliye.
Aur, woh use ghaseetate hue andar le jaane lagi.
Yash : Uh-!! K-Kavya? Project?
Kavya : I don't really care. Tum log dekh lena. Mein viva me sambhal lungi.
Yash : What???
Yash ko hairat me chhor Kavya Veer ko andar building me le gayi. Aur, uss se chipak ke hi chalti rahi. Departure ho chuka tha toh bache kuche hi students andar maujood the. Veer ne fatafat teacher se baat ki aur exam ke samay use koi dikkat na ho uska bhi intezam kar liya tha. Woh dono abhi corridor me chalte hue jaa rahe the jab achanak hi-
Veer : Huh???
Kavya use ek khaali classroom me kheechte hue andar le gayi.
Veer : Kavya?
Kavya : Shhh! Awaaz nahi, bhaiya!
Veer : Pagal! Yaha kyu laayi ho? Koi aata hoga. Chalo baahar.
Lekin, usne Veer ki ek na suni. Usne use deewar se tikaaya aur apna ek haath uske sarr ke bagal se le jaate hue deewar par teka.
Kavya : Kaun thi woh ladki?
Veer : Kaun? Pragya?
Kavya : Pragya? Ye Pragya kaun hai? Iske pehle toh maine aapko kabhi nahi dekha uske saath. Itna chipak-chipak ke baat kyu kar rahi thi woh aap se?
Veer andar hi andar muskuraya. Uski ye chhoti behan jalan me aur bhi cute lagti thi.
Veer (smiles) : Well, agar tumhare suitors hai toh mere bhi kuchh suitors hai.
Kavya : Phone dijiye!
Veer : Huh?
Kavya : Phone dijiye! Aapne uske saath number exchange kiya na?
Veer : Well yeah magar-
Aur, Kavya ne ek jhatke me Veer ka phone uske haath se chhina liya. Sabse pehle usne toh Pragya ki phone profile kholi. Uska number block kiya aur fir uske number ko seedha delete hi kar diya.
Veer : What the-!?
Kavya : Ab baat nahi hogi.
Veer : Kya tha ye sab?
Kavya : Aapko sharam nahi aayi? Aapke saamne aapki itni cute si behan waha khadi thi aur aap uss aeri-geri ladki ke saath gul-chharre uda rahe the?
Veer : Well, toh kya aapko sharam nahi aayi madam jab aapka bhai aapke bagal se khada hua tha aur aap uss ladke ke saath nain-matakka kar rahi thi?
Kavya ne uski baat par apni nazre ferr li. Veer ne iss baar Kavya ko deewar se tikaaya aur jhukte hue uske qareeb aaya. Bechari Kavya ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha.
Kavya : T-Toh? Aapko jealousy feel hui ya nahi?
Veer (smiles) : No!
Kavya (yells) : Kyuuuuuu???
Veer : Jealousy uss se feel hoti hai jiske paas apne se zyada kuchh ho. And, for your kind information my dear sister-
Kavya : ???
Veer (leans in) : Waise toh mein kabhi apni tareef nahi karta but just remember one thing - Your elder brother is in a league of his own. Mujhe Yash jaiso ke saath compare karna hi, tumhara loss tha. And, you understand that very well, right? My sweetheart?
Kehte hue jaise hi woh peechhe mudne ko hua Kavya ne use pakad zorr se kheencha aur uske sarr ko haatho me lete hue-
*Kiss*
'???'
Veer ki aankhein aashcharya me chaudi ho gayi. Kavya ne apne honth uske hontho se jod diye the. Uske honth itne narm the ki Veer ki aankhein uss adhbhut ehsaas me band ho gayi. Woh uske hontho ko kaat bhi rahi thi. Aur, jab Veer ko dhyaan aaya ki woh dono kaha par hai, woh ek jhatke me use pakad peechhe hua.
Veer : Kavya? What the hell?
Kavya : *huff* *huff* Don't worry! Iss classroom me koi cameras nahi hai, bhaiya.
Veer : Y-You-!!!
Kavya : Aap bahut gande ho. But I still love you. Ahinda se aap mere saath hoke mujhe chhor kisi aur ladki ko bhaav diye, toh yaad rakhna, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. *huff*
Veer : Kavya ki bacchi- *huff*
Kavya (blushes) : Iss se pehle ki koi aaye. Lo bhaiya- *blushes* Maine kaha tha aapse ki aap baad me daba lena. Toh- *blushes* lo!!
Usne apna seena Veer ke saamne kar diya. Ye pehli baar tha jab Veer khud sharma gaya. Usne Kavya ka haath pakda aur use waha se leke nikalne ke liye hua, jab Kavya ne virodh kiya aur boli.
Kavya : Bhaiya!
Veer (glances) : ???
Kavya (blushes) : I love you~
Veer (blushes) : Love you too! Ab chal paagal!
Uski ye chhoti behan itni jaldi itni bold hoti jaa rahi thi ki college ke classroom me hi use kiss tak kar baithi thi. Iska kuchh karna padega. Yahi soch Veer use waha se leke baahar nikal gaya.
Toh wahi dusri taraf Kritika aur Karan bhi kuchh aisi hi paristhiti me the. Kritika toh pehle hi Kavya ki baat maan kar pachhta rahi thi. Kavya ka plan hi yahi tha.
Kritika scooty par baithe drive kar rahi thi aur Karan theek uske peechhe tha. Kavya ke kehne par usne jhooth keh toh diya ki use gaadi chalaana theek se nahi aata magar, ab woh pachhta rahi thi. Kyunki, jitni baar Karan uski kamar ko pakadta utni baar woh bechari jhatka kha kar reh jaati.
Aur, unki ye meeting lovely kam awkwardness se zyada bhari thi. Tabhi, Karan ka phone baj utha. Caller Raghu tha. Usne jaise hi call utha ke phone apne kaan se lagaaya uske chehre ke bhaav badal gaye.
'Damn it!'
Karan : Kritika! Mujhe jaana hoga. Ek zaroori kaam aa gaya hai.
Kritika : Huh? O-Ok! Thank you, aaj aane ke liye.
Karan : No worries Kritika. Mein baad me bhi aa jaunga. Lekin, abhi jaana hoga. Hum baad me milte hai, okay?
Kritika (nods) : Mmm~
Aur, Karan apni gaadi uthaate hue waha se nikal gaya. Raaste me hi usne fatafat Veer ko call bhidaaya jo khud apni car me raaste me hi tha.
Veer : Hello?
Karan : Fuckin' hell- Veer!!!
Veer : Kya hua?
Karan : Ghar par police aayi hai mere.
Veer : Huh? Kya matlab?
Karan : Raghu ka phone aaya tha abhi. Usne bataya ki ghar par police aayi hai. Meri gaadi Blue Mulsanne ke baare me poochh rahi hai. Aur, tum jaante ho ki maine ye gaadi kab nikaali thi.
Veer (frowns) : Slogan-!! That night-
Karan : Right!!
Veer : Tum sambhal loge?
Karan : Well, yeah! Mujhe nahi lagta ki woh mujhe aise under arrest kar payenge. Mein kaise bhi kar ke bach jaunga. Mujhe yakeen hai police yaha uske liye hi aayi hai. Ek saal baad inhe yaad aa rahi hai uss case ki? What the hell!! Maine tumhe warn kar diya hai. Agar, kuchh hota hai toh mujhe batana. I'll send the help.
Veer (nods) : Alright!
*Call ends*
Veer ne call rakha hi tha jab uska phone fir baj utha. Aur, iss baar caller thi — Divya!
Veer : Hello?
Divya : Kaha ho tum?
Veer : Mein raaste me hu. On my way to hotel prestige.
Divya : Yaha aao jaldi.
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : FBCC se mujhe new assignment mil chuka hai. Ye jo murders ho rahe hai use leke FBCC ne apni chinta jataayi hai. Aur, unka ye maanana hai ki ye bahut bada case hai. Isliye, woh apni help provide kar rahi hai. FBCC ne Indian government se baat kar li hai. Toh, mujhe iss case me entry karne me koi dikkat nahi hogi.
Veer : So?
Divya : Are you willing to join me? Don't worry! Mein tumhari profile ka band-o-bast kar dungi. You can be my assistant. Just like old times. Will you?
Divya ne ye offer jaan boojh ke diya tha. Kyunki, Rebecca ke bol use achhi tarah se yaad the.
'Remember, Mrs. Divya! There is something special about Veer. Koi bhi aam insaan itna capable nahi ho sakta ki woh house of the killer jaisi mystery ko yu hi hal kar de. Keval aur keval ek talented individual hi ise anjaam de sakta hai. Don't you think? Toh- Kya aapko nahi lagta ki Veer aapse kuchh chhipa raha hai?'
'Iska matlab aap chaahti hai ki?'
'Yes! Yes, Mrs. Divya! Yes! I want you to unveil the secrets of not only the murders. But also the secrets of Veer. Maybe- Agar, mujhe uske talent ki pushti mil jaaye toh shayad mein use ek offer bhi dedu. That is- to join the FBCC. I'll assign him under your care.'
'Y-Yes Director!'
Divya khud bhi Veer ko leke bahut jigyasu thi. China me bhi usne koshish ki thi Veer ke baare me gehrayi se jaanane ki. Akhir, woh kaise crime se sambandhit mysteries me itna maahir tha? Aur, agar ye uska natural talent tha toh woh chaahti hi thi ki Veer ko FBCC me woh apne saath le aaye. Kahi na kahi ek swaarth se bhara kaaran bhi tha iske peechhe, jo sirf Divya ka antarmann hi jaanta tha.
Toh wahi Veer ne jaise hi Divya ke mukh se ye suna, uske honth muskaan me fel gaye. Use kal hi mission mila tha inn murders ke raaz par se parda hataane ka. Aur, Divya khud uske paas chalte hue aa gayi.
Veer : I will join you. Lekin, meri ek shart hai.
Divya : Just name it, Veer!
Aur, fir Veer ne apni maang rakh di.

Skylight,
Kishore's skyscraper house,
Mumbai, Evening - 5:10 PM ~
Kuchh der pehle ~
Nexacom industries ka ye tower — Skylight, Mumbai ke kshitij ke saamne khada tha, jo glass, steel aur ambition ki ek akhand sanrachna tha. Bharat ke sabse bade samooh, Nexacom ke sanrakshak, Kishor ki ye bahumanzila gagan-chumbi imaarat, ek ghar se kahi adhik thi — Ye taaqat, dhan aur virasat ka prateek thi. Meelo door se dikhayi dene waali ye building kisi shaasak ki tarah shaasan karti nazar aati thi. Imaarat ki design aadhunik vaastukala ka woh namoona tha jo duniya ki behatreen imaarato ko takkar deta tha.
Premises me qadam rakhte hi aisa mehsoos hota tha maano ek alag hi duniya me qadam rakh diya ho. Imported Italian marbles se susajjit floor, luxury cars se bhara parking area aur pratyek dwar ke dono orr hare-bhare bageeche, jinme duniya bhar se laaye gaye phoolo ko badi hi savdhani se maali ke dwara rakha gaya tha.
Imaarat ke theek saamne ek khubsoorat jharna bhi tha jo sooraj ki raushni me jhil-milaata hua nazar aa raha tha.
Aur, ye sab toh kuchh bhi nahi tha. Andar ki luxury toh iss se bhi aakarshak thi. Mehnge se mehnge granite se bani lobby, upar latakta hua crystals ka jhoomar, har ek crystal ek prasiddh French atelier ke haatho dwara cut kiya gaya. Khaali uss jhoomar ki keemat hi Mumbai me ek chhote ghar jitni thi.
Inspector Trisha ka dil tezi se dhadak raha tha. Usne iss se pehle bhi badi-badi imaaratein dekhi thi, lekin aisi koi nahi. Skylight sirf ek ghar nahi tha — ye Adarsh parivar ka ek smaarak tha. Jaise-jaise woh building ke nazdeek aa rahi thi, architecture ki dara dene waali oonchaayi ne use shan bhar ke liye apne faisle ke baare me dobaara sochne par majboor kar diya, lekin apne kandhe seedhe kar Trisha ne apne sankalp ko dridh nischit kiya aur aage badhi.
Akhirkaar, Karan sirf ek ladka hi tha — India ke sabse bade conglomerate ka uttradhikari, haan — lekin fir bhi, ek ladka hi.
Jaise hi usne cham-chamaate hue hall ke andar pravesh kiya, uske hosh udd gaye. Naram sunehri raushni ne deewaro ko nehla rakha tha, jiska reflection marble ki flooring par saaf ho raha tha. Hawa ek intoxicating scent se perfumed thi.
Aur, Trisha ko akhirkaar iss jagah ka bhaar mehsoos hua. Dum ghotne waali luxury uss par iss tarah se dabaav daal rahi thi jaise ki deewarein bhi use yaha uski tuchhata ki yaad dilaane ki saazish kar rahi ho.
Woh abhi yaha hall me aayi hi thi aur usne abhi kuchh kaha bhi nahi tha jab ek servant ne use aage jaane ka ishaara kiya. Haami bharte hue woh na chaahte hue bhi aage badhi aur tabhi do female servants apni tailored uniforms pehne uski orr aayi aur apni rehearsed smile ke saath uska swaagat kari. Unke movements ekdum shaant aur elegant the, maano jaise woh marble ko bina chhue hi uss par terr rahi ho.
Trisha ne iske pehle kabhi bhi iss tarah ki hospitality ka experience nahi liya tha. Iske pehle bhi woh bade se bade ameer se ameer logo ke gharo me gayi hui thi, lekin jo baat yaha thi woh kahi aur nahi thi. Ye sirf dhan nahi tha — ye woh dhan tha jo sammaan ki maang karta tha.
Agar, ye hall nahi tha? Toh kya tha? Woh servants ke dwara aur andar le jaayi jaa rahi thi. Jaise-jaise woh main hall ki orr badh rahi thi use deewaro par latki hui tarah-tarah ki anmol aakritiya aur paintings nazar aa rahi thi.
Usne apna sarr hilaaya, woh yaha bhay-bheet hone nahi aayi thi; woh yaha nyaay ke liye aayi thi. Kisi bhi prakar ki luxury ya fizool-kharchi use apne kartavya se vichlit nahi kar sakti thi. Aisa uska maanana tha.
Aur, jaise hi woh main hall me aayi, luxury seedhiyo se neeche aate hue Kishore use nazar aaya. Uske chehre par muskaan thi. Kahi se bhi aisa nahi laga jaise woh ek ahankaari businessman ho. Jis ladke ka saamna karne ke liye usne apne aap ko taiyaar kiya tha woh toh kahi nahi dikha lekin uske pita zaroor uske saamne the.
Saath hi usne dekha ki kaale kapde pehne do bodyguards bhi khade hue the, jo koi aur nahi — Raghu aur Jassi the.
Kishore jab neeche utar ke aaya toh usne apne haath felaate hue bola-
Kishore (smiles) : Inspector Trisha! Please! Have a seat!
Usne ek kursi ki orr ishaara kiya, jis par baithna toh door, chhoona bhi bahut mehnga lag raha tha.
Trisha : A-Aap mujhe jaante hai?
Kishor (smiles) : Mujhe jagah-jagah ki khabar lag jaati hai. Aap haal hi me nayi aayi hai Thane police station me. Abhi-abhi transfer hua hai. Kahiye! Aaj yaha kaise aana hua?
Trisha jhijhki, lekin Kishore ke narm swar ke kaaran uske paas koi vikalp na raha. Woh baithi aur use apne perro ke neeche behad hi narm kaaleen ka ehsaas hua. Ye araam use aur bhi pareshan kar raha tha. Usne apni reedh par chadhi ajeeb si bechaini ko jhakjhorne ki koshish ki, woh toh yaha iss apeksha ke saath aayi thi ki use yaha ghamand, abhimaan, paiso ka rutba aur apni beizzati dekhne ko milegi. Parantu, yaha toh filhal aisa kuchh bhi na tha.
Kishore : Toh kahiye! Kaise aana hua madam?
Trisha : M-Mein pichhle saal ke ek dabe hue case ki investigation kar rahi hu. A-Aur- Aur, mujhe aapke bete ke khilaaf kuchh saboot mile hai.
Usne kaha. Tanaav ke bawajood uski awaaz dridh thi.
Trisha : Pichhle saal ek wanted gangster leader maara gaya tha. Lekin, uski maut ke pehle woh ek car chase me shaamil tha. Uss car chase me, hume ek car ka number nazar aaya hai cctv footage se. Aur, ye car humaare control room ki jankari ke mutabik aapke bete Karan ki hai.
Kishore ki bauhe thodi sikud gayi, lekin uski awaaz narm thi.
Kishore : Mein aapki chinta ko samajhta hu, inspector. Aap chinta mat kijiye. Mere beta poora co-operate karega. Par, kya mein aapse poochh sakta hu ki aapke pass iska kya proof hai?
Trisha (nods) : J-Ji! *glances* Shekhar-!
Trisha ne Shekhar ko dekh uss se video ki demand ki toh Shekhar ne wahi cctv clip ko Kishore ke paas le jaate hue dikhaaya.
Kishore : Hmm! Dekhiye, madam. Mujhe toh pata nahi ki ye gaadi mere bete ki hai ya nahi. Ghar me itni gaadiyaan hai ki mein har ek ke number yaad toh karta nahi firunga. *smiles* Hai na? Lekin, mera beta iski pushti zaroor kar sakta hai. Raghu?
Raghu : J-Ji, sir?
Kishore : Karan ko phone kar ghar bulao.
Raghu : J-Ji!
Aur, Raghu ne kamre se baahar nikal Karan ko phone kar jaldbazi me sab bata diya. Yahi woh waqt tha jab Karan ko iska pata chala aur usne fatafat Veer ko bhi sachet kar diya.
Kishore : Ek baat aur inspector madam.
Trisha : Huh?
Kishore : Aap jaanti hai ki agar mera beta nirdosh saabit hua toh kya hoga?
Trisha : K-Kya hoga?
Kishore : Arey mere liye ye buri baat hogi na?
Trisha : What?
Kishore : Aap iss waqt kiske ghar me hai?
Trisha : Mister Kishore Adarsh ke ghar me.
Kishore (smiles) : Aap iss waqt India ke sabse bade conglomerate ko own karne waale shaks ke ghar me baithi hai. Ab aap din-dahaade mere ghar me aati hai, mere bete par ilzaam lagaati hai aur paati hai ki woh nirdosh hai. Toh, meri image ka kya? Nexacom ki image ka kya? Baahar raah chalte log ye dekhenge toh kya sochenge?
Trisha (frowns) : A-Aap kehna kya chaahte hai?
Kishore : Kehna ye chaahta hu inspector madam ki insaan ki image bahut maayne rakhti hai. Baaki, aap samajhdar hai. Umeed hai aap meri expectations par khadi utrengi.
Ye vaakya salaah kam aur dhamki zyada lag raha tha. Trisha ke liye na jaane kitne prakaar ki savouries aur delicacies uske saamne prastut ki gayi lekin, usne kuchh bhi na liya. Kishore ke baar-baar kehne par akhirkaar usne ek cup chai ke liye haan keh hi diya.
Samay guzra aur tabhi kuchh der baad Karan ghar me enter hua. Woh kahi se bhi dara hua nazar nahi aa raha tha. Woh seedha andar aaya, aur bade hi shaant swabhav se woh unke saamne baith gaya.
Karan : Ji? Mujhe pata laga ki aap mere liye yaha aayi hai?
Trisha : Dekhiye! Mujhe bas aapse kuchh sawaal-jawaab karne hai. Pehle toh he bataiye ki iss video me jo car hai, woh aapki hai?
Wahi video clip Karan ko bhi dikhayi gayi. Aur, iss beech Kishore badi hi bareeki se apne bete ko dekh raha tha. Usne kuchh kaha nahi, sirf cheezon ko ghatate dekh raha tha.
Karan (nods) : Ji haan! Ye car meri hai.
Trisha : Good! Then, mister Karan aapko inspection ke liye police station chalna hoga. Aur, hamaare kuchh sawaalo ke jawaab dene honge.
Karan : Now wait a minute. Maine kaha ye car meri hai. Lekin, iske peechhe bhala mein police station kyu jau?
Trisha : Uss raat aap kya kar rahe the waha? Aapki gaadi itni saari gaadiyo ke peechhe kya kar rahi thi?
Karan : Ah! Well-! Jassi! Please, inhe samjhao.
Jassi (nods) : Uss raat humaare Sir musibat me the. Humari Miss Kaera par attack hua tha aur hum sirf gaadi ka peechha kar hamla karne waale ko rokne ki koshish kar rahe the.
Trisha ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi. Use kuchh aisa haasil hua tha jaise maano uski isne kalpana hi nahi ki thi. Report me toh aisa kuchh bhi mentioned nahi tha.
Trisha : K-Kya matlab?
Jassi : Matlab ye ki Miss Kaera Nexacom ki owner hai. Aur, unhe rokne ke liye rival companies buri se buri saazishein rachti hai. Ab hume ye toh nahi pata lag paaya ki hamla kisne karwaya tha lekin, ek wahi gaadi thi jis se hamla hua tha.
Trisha : Aur, ye hamla xxxxxxxx hotel me hua tha?
Jassi (nods) : Ji bilkul!
Trisha (yells) : Toh waha ke hotel ke paas iski koi bhi footage kyu nahi hai?
Jassi : Kyunki, ye ek planned ambush thi. Jisne bhi hamla karwaya tha woh nahi chaahta hoga ki ye sab kuchh record hoye. Aur, waise bhi- Inn sab ka pata lagaana aapka kaam hai. Na ki humaara.
Trisha : Tsk-!!!
Jassi ne safed jhooth bol diya. Sacchayi toh ye thi ki Slogan ko maarne ka plan Veer ka tha. Hotel ke baahar cameras ka disable hona, waha Steve ko snipers dwara marwana aur fir Slogan ki car ka peechha karna, ye sab kuchh Veer ne hi karwaya tha.
Kintu, Jassi ne saara ilzaam badi hi saralta se marey hue Slogan par daal diya. Na hi Trisha Slogan ke paas jaa ke iski pushti karwa sakti thi aur na hi woh apne ekmaatra saboot ko chhorna chaahti thi jo Jassi ke dwara use mil raha tha. Hotel me jaa ke usne poochh-taachh kar hi li thi. Aur, jis bhi employee ne cameras disable kiye the uska ata-pata nahi tha. Agar woh iss employee ke baare me details nikalwaane bhi jaaye toh hotel waalo ke paas use gol-gol ghumaane ke kayi raaste the.
Trisha badle me kuchh keh bhi nahi sakti thi. Kyunki, police complaint bhi Nexacom ke dwara hi ki gayi thi. Baad me police ko hi paisa dekar shaant kar diya gaya tha aur isliye, ye case thande baste me daba diya gaya tha.
Trisha : Iska matlab aap uss car chase ke baare me bahut kuchh jaante hai. Isliye, aapko mere saath-
Jassi : Mein chalne ko taiyaar hu. Magar, Sir nahi jaa sakte.
Trisha : K-Kya?
Karan : Bilkul! Mein agree karta hu ki car meri hai par ise mein thodi chala raha tha.
Trisha : ???
Jassi : Zaahir si baat hai. Bodyguards hone ke naate ye humara kaam tha uss hamlavar ka peechha karna. Sir ko gaadi me baitha ke hum unki jaan ko khatre me kyu daalenge bhala?
Karan : Bilkul! Hamla jab hua tha toh mujhe yaad hai, mujhe aur di ko safely ghar bhijwaya diya gaya tha. Uske baad waha kya hua, mujhe koi idea nahi. Aur, na hi mujhe wo baatein bataayi gayi. *shrugs*
Karan ko achhi tarah se ghoorne ke baad Trisha uski reasoning par sawaal na utha saki. Ye common sense ki baat thi ki khatre ke peechhe aadmi khud kyu jaayega? Khaaskar tab jab woh Nexacom jaisi badi company ka ek maalik ho.
Trisha (frowns) : Hotel se ek laash bhi baramad hui thi.
Jassi : Hume nahi pata woh kaun tha. Jab waha uss vyakti ka khoon hua tabhi hume humle ka andesha hua.
Trisha : Aur, aap jo uss gaadi ko follow kar rahe the. Aap jaante hai usme kaun tha? One of the most wanted criminals - Slogan!
Naam sunte hi Kishore ke kaan khade ho gaye. Woh toh ye sab pehle se jaanta tha. Woh jaanta tha ki Slogan naam ka vyakti uski beti ke peechhe tha. Yaha tak ki woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan wahi tha jisne saalo pehle uske ghar ke maali ko maar paint se deewar par — 'killed by Slogan' likha tha.
Kishore ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan ka khaatma bhi ho chuka tha. Parantu, woh do baaton se anibhigya tha.
Pehli — woh ye nahi jaanta tha ki Slogan ko maarne waale uske aadmi nahi, balki Veer tha. Ye baat Jassi ne uss se chhipaayi thi.
Dusri — use ye nahi pata tha ki Slogan hi wahi Sanjeev tha jiski beti Swati uske haatho maari gayi thi. Kyunki, Slogan banane ke baad Sanjeev kabhi bhi Kishore se face-to-face nahi mila tha.
Trisha : Uss gangster ki laash bhi hume xxxx highway ke paas se baramad hui hai. Toh, mein kaise maan lu ki aap sirf peechha hi kar rahe the?
Jassi : Dekhiye, madam! Mein toh sirf use pakadne ke liye peechha kar raha tha. Lekin, aap meri intention ko kaise proof kar sakti hai ki maine hi use maara hai?
Trisha : Fir bhi, aapko humaare saath chalna hoga.
Jassi : Bilkul! Mein toh taiyaar hi hu. Aapke jo bhi prashn hai, mein unke jawaab dene taiyaar hu.
"Uski koi zaroorat nahi hai."
Peechhe se achanak hi ek awaaz aayi. Jaise hi sabhi ne uss orr dekha toh paaya ki ek khubsoorat lady khadi hui thi aur uske theek bagal se ek ladka bhi tha jo chehre par mask lagaya hua tha.
Ladke ko dekhte hi Karan turant hi use pehchaan gaya aur saath hi hairaan bhi reh gaya. Woh koi aur nahi — Veer hi tha.
Veer ne halka sa apna sarr hilaate hue Karan ko jab aashvasan diya toh usne bhi badle me samajhte hue haami bhari.
Veer ki nazre fir Kishore par tik gayi. Na jaane woh kya soch raha tha, koi nahi jaanta tha. Lekin, ek baat saaf thi ki Kishore ke ateet ko uss se behtar aur koi nahi jaanta tha.
Uske saath khadi woh lady bhi koi aur nahi balki — Divya thi. Usne apni breast pocket se apni ID nikaalte hue Trisha ke saamne ki.
Divya : Special Agent - Divya from FBCC.
Trisha : FBCC?
Divya (smirks) : Mujhe ye dekh ke taajub ho raha hai ki aap ek DSP hote hue itne serious matter ko bhi itna halke me leke chal rahi hai.
Trisha : Kya matlab?
Divya : Matlab ye ki ek officer hote hue aap sheher me ho rahe murders ko leke kya kar rahi hai?
Trisha : Aap kaun hoti hai jo-
Uski baat adhoori hi reh gayi jab uska phone achanak baj utha. Caller swayam uska apna pati tha — Rohan.
Trisha : Hello?
Rohan : Ek zaroori baat bataani thi. Mujhe higher ups se orders aaye hai. Serial murders ke iss case me FBCC bhi shaamil hone waali hai. FBCC ek international bahut badi crime control ki agency hai, Trisha. Ye matter bahut bada hai. Aur, majbooran higher ups ne bhi manzoori de di hai.
Trisha : Wh-What?
Rohan : Ab iss case me Mrs. Divya tumhare saath hongi aur kaam karengi. Basically, unke paas tumse bhi zyada privilege hai iss case me kyunki woh FBCC se hai. Lekin, tum unhe engage rakhne ke liye tasks de sakti ho. Tum samajh rahi ho na mein kya kehna chaah raha hu?
Trisha (nods) : H-Haan mein samajh gayi. I'll deal with it. Thank you!
Rohan : Kuchh bhi ho jaaye, don't get in bad terms with her. Jitna ho sake unhe iss case me engaged rakhna lekin, ye bhi zaroori nahi hai ki poori kamaan unke haath me saunp do. Unhe bas iska pata nahi chalna chahiye ki hum unhe side missions de rahe hai. Because, I want you to be the main figure of this case.
Trisha (nods) : Hmm! Thanks!
Rohan : Aur, iss case par lago. Uss puraane case ko abhi ke liye bhool jao, Trisha.
Na chaahte hue bhi Trisha ne haami bhari. Aur, Jassi aur Karan ko ek baar dekhi.
Trisha : Shayad aap khush-kismati hai. Mein aapse sawaal-jawaab karne firse aaungi. Lekin, filhaal mujhe ek iss se bhi bade case par kaam karna hai.
Usne fir Divya aur Veer ki orr dekha.
Trisha : Chaliye mere saath.
Aur, itna bol woh waha se nikal gayi. Karan hairat me tha. Use koi andaza nahi tha ki Veer uske liye iss tarah se madad leke aayega. Aur, bhi taajub use iss baat se tha ki bhala woh FBCC ki special agent ke saath kya kar raha tha?
Idhar police ke jaate hi Kishore ke haav-bhaav badal gaye. Uske chehre par gambheerta wapas aa gayi.
Kishore : Iss Trisha par thodi nazar rakho, Jassi. Baaki tum jaante ho na? Mujhe ye pasand nahi ki koi aera-gera aadmi mere ghar me aake itni garmi dikhaaye. Woh lucky thi ki woh ek aurat thi. Warna-! Ab tak uska transfer ho gaya hota. Ya fir naukri hi chhin gayi hoti. Use pata hona chahiye ki uski aukaat kya hai.
Jassi : Mein nazar rakhunga, Sir!
Toh wahi, Trisha ke peechhe-peechhe aate hue dono hi Divya aur Veer ne ek chenn ki saans li aur khuspusate hue woh dono baat karne lage.
Divya : Seriously! Ye officer hai ye lawyer? Itna sab kuchh sheher me chal raha hai aur ye puraane case ke peechhe padi hui hai?
Veer : Well! Leave it. Anyways, thanks meri shart maanane ke liye.
Divya : Mujhe ye maanani hi thi. Warna, tumhe shaamil kaise karti?
Veer : Kya lagta hai woh mujhse mera mask utaarne bolegi?
Divya : Agar nahi maani toh utaar dena. Aur, agar maan gayi toh koi zaroorat hi nahi hai. Waise bhi tumhari ID me tumhari shaqal saaf dikh rahi hai.
Usne apni jeb se ek ID nikaalte hue Veer ke saamne hawa me lehraayi.
Veer (amazed) : Tumhare paas ye abhi bhi hai?
Ye wahi ID thi jo Las Vegas ke crime department ne Veer ke liye banaayi thi jab woh 'House of the killers' ke case se deal kar raha tha.
Divya (smiles) : Meri aadat hai kuchh cheezon ko sambhaal ke rakhna... Aur, kuchh logo ko bhi-!
Uski nazre Veer ke chehre par kuchh zyada hi der ke liye tiki rahi. Veer muskuraya aur bina kuchh kahe woh dono aage apni gaadi me baith Trisha ko follow kar police station pahuch gaye.
Bhale hi Veer ki ye ID Las Vegas ke crime department dwara banayi gayi thi aur ye utni authentic bhi nahi thi filhaal ke liye, lekin uski pushti karne waala koi nahi tha.
Divya Veer ko kuchh bhi reason deke iss case me shaamil kar sakti thi. Ye FBCC me special agent hone ke kuchh perks me se ek tha. Woh ye bhi keh sakti thi ki Veer uska trustworthy assistant tha 'house of the killers' case me.
Trisha ne iss beech unn dono ko saari reports se sab kuchh samjhaaya aur saara ikhatta data unke saamne prastut kar diya. Lekin, Veer ka mask use zyada der raas na aaya. Woh waise hi foreign interference se sakht nafrat karti thi.
Trisha (frowns) : Mujhe koi khabar nahi di gayi hai ki aapke alawa bhi koi aur aane waala hai aapke saath.
Divya : Ye mere saath hai. My assistant! Koi dikkat nahi honi chahiye.
Trisha : Aur, ye mask kyu??
Veer (bluntly) : Chehra chhipaane ke liye.
Trisha : Kyu? Shaqal buri hai kya?
Veer (smirks) : Quite the opposite actually!
Jawab itni tapaak se aaya ki kuchh pal ke liye waha sannaata chhaa gaya. Divya ke honth muskaan me halke se fel gaye kyunki woh jaanti thi ki uss mask ke peechhe ek aisa chehra tha jo achhi-khaasi ladkiyo ko apna deewana banaane ke liye kaafi tha.
Toh wahi Trisha ke maathe par silvatein thi. Koi use turant muh pe jawaab de, aisa sunane ki aadat use nahi thi. Aur, woh bhi iss tareeke se.
Trisha (frowns) : Dekho-
Divya : Mrs. Trisha! Mein FBCC se hu. Mera assistant koi aera-gera vyakti nahi hai. He's someone who has worked with me on various major crime cases. Mask isliye, kyunki aksar use undercover hona padta hai. We agents work differently than your local police.
Trisha (frowns) : Local police, huh?
Divya : Well, it's true! Hum cases ki uss gehrayi tak jaate hai jaha police bhi peechhe ho jaati hai. Jab case unke bas ka nahi hota tab hum hi deal karte hai. I was also a former detective in Las Vegas' crime department.
Trisha ko apne pati Rohan ki baat yaad aa gayi. Yahi ki woh Divya se kisi bhi prakar ki berr na rakhe. Mann maarte hue akhir use raazi hona hi pada.
Trisha : Fine! Aur, inn specific 'someone' ka koi naam hoga? Hmm?
Veer : You can call me 'V'
Trisha : V???
Veer : Mere naam ka initial. I think it's good. Isn't it?
Trisha : Well, V or whatever..! Mujhe tum se koi lena dena nahi hai. Mera sirf itna kehna hai Mrs. Divya ki iss shaks ki zimmedari aapki hai. If anything goes wrong-
Divya : Toh woh mere sarr aayega. Jaanti hu. Chinta ki koi baat nahi. Toh, kya ab hum aage badhe?
Trisha ne sab kuchh saamne rakh diya tha. Lekin, woh ye bhi jaanti thi ki inn FBCC ke logo ko case se door kaise rakhna tha.
Trisha : Toh ye dikkat hai. Aapne kaha tha ki aap ek detective reh chuki hai, hai na?
Divya (nods) : Haan!
Trisha : Toh ye hai meri approach. Sabse pehla case — Pune. Mr. Prabhakar ki hatya hui thi.
Veer : *frowns*
[Madhuri ke pita, Master.]
'Yeah!'
Trisha : Waise toh waha ki police ne apni orr se sab kuchh kar liya hai. Par, mujhe lagta hai abhi bhi kuchh missing hai. Aap ek detective ke roop se agar first destination se hote hue baaki areas ko bhi inspect kar aayengi toh ho sakta hai hume koi clue mil jaaye. Baaki, mein aur baaki sab toh hai hi yaha. Aur, agar aapko ye sahi nahi lag raha toh aap hi kuchh suggest kariye.
Divya ne ek pal Veer ko dekha aur jab Veer ne kuchh soch haami bhari toh Divya ne bhi haami bhar di. Samajh toh woh bhi gayi thi ki Trisha use bas case se door rakhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par, aise maamlo me Veer agar raazi hua hai, iska matlab saaf tha ki kahi na kahi ye tarqeeb unke kaam aane waali thi.
Divya (nods) : Okay! Aur, kuchh?
Trisha : Please, jaise hi koi bhi clue haath lage, hume inform kariyega. Aap hi hai jo iss task ko complete kar sakte ho. Kyunki, humara yaha rehna bahut zaroori hai.
Divya : Don't worry!
Trisha : Koi escorts? Mein ek sub-inspector aur control room se-
Divya : Nahi nahi! Iski koi zaroorat nahi. Mein aur mera assistant hi kaafi honge.
Trisha : Are you sure?
Divya (nods) : Yes!! Then, hum nikalte hai.
Divya aur Veer fir kuchh der waha intezar kar gaadi ke liye nikal gaye. Aur, unki manzil thi — Pune!

Ab aage...
Veer ne apni car park ke paas hi parking area me khadi ki, jaha Kavya ne use bulaya hua tha. Sooraj baadlo ke beech dhaka hua tha, hawa halki aur thand mamooli si.
Kavya pehle se hi Veer ka intezar kar waha apni scooty liye khadi use haath hilaate hue bula rahi thi. Aaj usne woollen collar waali ek jacket daal rakhi thi jo asal me fashionable zyada thi aur protective kam.
Toh wahi Veer ne apni grey t-shirt ke upar ek black zip waala light upper daal rakha tha, jisme woh beshaq bahut handsome prateet ho raha tha.
Veer ko aata dekh Kavya mann hi mann muskurayi. Aaj toh woh atyant hi prasann thi. Lekin, saath hi uski aankhon me kuchh tha — Ek shararat jise filhal Veer gaur na kar saka.
'Aaj mein aapka poora faayda uthaungi, bhaiya. Hehe~'
Kavya : Bhaiya~ Aapne promise kiya tha. Yaad hai na? Ab aap bhaag nahi sakte.
Veer ne aate hue uske gaalo ko nocha aur bola.
Veer : Haan haan! Yaad hai. Maine tumhe promise kiya tha ki tum jab bulaogi mein tumhare paas aaunga. Aur, mein humesha apna vaada nibhata hu. Waise, tumhe sach me scooty chalana nahi aata? Ya fir ye bas ek bahaana hai?
Kavya : Mujhe aata hai. Lekin — umm, bheed-bhaad waale ilaaqe me mujhe dikkat hoti hai. I want to learn from the best. *smiles*
Aur, yahi tha Kavya ka plan. Veer ne sahi anumaan lagaya tha. Woh uske sang bas samay vyateet karna chaahti thi.
Veer (sighs) : Theek hai! Toh chalo fir. Mujhe aur bhi kaam hai. Tum chalao, mein peechhe baithata hu.
Kavya ne utsukta se sarr hilaaya aur scooty par aage baith handle ko kass ke pakad li. Veer theek uske peechhe baitha aur jaise hi woh baitha, Kavya ko ehsaas hua ki Veer ki chhaati theek uski peeth par dabb rahi thi.
Waise toh woh dono kaafi nazdeek rehte the lekin iss tarah se ek hi gaadi par itna qareeb baithna aur woh bhi sirf unn dono ka akele rehna, ye apne aap me Kavya ki dhadkane tez karne ke liye kaafi tha. Woh Veer ki garmi, uski upasthiti ko apne itna qareeb mehsoos kar paa rahi thi, ki uski reedh me ek sihran daud gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Uh... Bhaiya... M-Mein chaalu karu ab?
Woh haklaate hue boli, apne gaalo me badhti garmi ko dur karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.
Veer (nods) : Haan! Aur, araam se! Go slow at first. Hum race nahi lagaane jaa rahe.
Kavya ne haami bhari aur scooty chaalu kar aage badhayi, har chhoti-chhoti harqato ke chalte uska dimaag daud raha tha. Jaise hi woh park se guzre sadak par kabhi-kabhar aane waale utaar-chadhaav ke kaaran woh hilte gaye aur unke badan ek dusre se dabte gaye.
Kavya ka chehra ab laal padta jaa raha tha. Veer ko saamne se dekh uss se baat karna ek alag baat thi magar use apne peechhe paana jaha woh peeth se lag ke apni larzish bhari awaaz ke bol kaano me bharta rahe, ye ek alag baat thi. Kavya iske liye taiyaar nahi thi.
Sharma ke toh woh tab reh gayi jab speed breaker ke chalte woh seat se uchhli aur seedhe jaake Veer ki goad me jaa baithi. Aur, fir use kuchh mehsoos hua-
'Huh? Is that his...!?'
Uske vichar uss disha me daude aur jaise hi use iska bodh hua woh sharmaate hue khud ko hi mann hi mann daanti aur zor se apna sarr hilaate hue unn vichaaro ko nikaalne ki koshish karne lagi.
Usne iske pehle bhi Goa me Veer ke ling ko dekha tha. Yaha tak ki usne use blowjob bhi di thi. Lekin, uske bawajood woh uss baare me sochne par abhi bhi sharma jaati thi. Iss beech Veer ka dhyaan poori tarah se raaste par tha.
Veer : Kavya! Right se doggy aa raha hai, sambhal ke-
Kavya : Ehh? A-Ahhh-!!!
*Screech*
Veer : Dhyan rakho. Achha hua maine brake laga diya warna woh doggy bhid sakta tha. Hum crowded area me hai, yaha bheed rahegi. Bahut araam se chalao. Theek hai?
Kavya : Ah! H-Haan! M-Mein dhyaan rakhungi, bhaiya.
Par, bechaari Kavya akhir dhyaan rakhe toh rakhe kaise? Uska poora dhyaan toh Veer kheenche hue tha. Veer ka haath theek uske haath ke upar tha.
Woh thoda aur aage jab badhe tabhi scooty ladkhadi gayi kyunki waha se paidal chalne waale logo ka samooh guzar raha tha. Kavya ne kass ke brake lagaya toh Veer aage jhuk gaya aur santulan banaaye rakhne ke liye uske haath Kavya ki patli kamar par kass ke lipat gaye. Aur, bechari Kavya-
Kavya (yells) : E-Eeeeeek-!!
Veer : Kya kar rahi ho? Aise ekdum se brake nahi lagaate paagal. Isliye, maine kaha tha tumse ki slow chalaana. Aur, perr kyu ghistaati ho neeche? Shoes ghis jayenge poore tumhaare.
'Because it's your fault dumbo bhaiya-!!!'
Woh jaise sthir hoke reh gayi. Usne apni kamar par Veer ke mazboot haatho ki taaqat ka andaaza bakhubi lag chuka tha aur iss se woh aur bhi zyada sharma gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-!! A-Aap bahut k-kass ke pakde ho.
Veer : Hmm? Ohh! S-Sorry! Woh balance banaaye rakhne ke liye mera haath achanak-
Kehte hue jaise hi usne apna haath peechhe kiya, Kavya ne uska haath thaam liya aur wapas se le jaake apni kamar par tika diya.
Kavya (blushes) : M-Maine hataane ko nahi kaha buddhu bhaiya! B-Bas kass ke pakadne ko mana kiya tha. M-Mujhe dard ho raha tha isliye.
Aur, Veer ko akhir samajh aa hi gaya ki uski ye chhoti behan darasal bas ek bahaana dhoondh rahi thi uske saath samay bitaane ka.
Kavya : Toh ab hum- aaaaahhhhhh-!!!!
Woh achanak se chillaayi jaise hi use apne seene par Veer ke haath mehsoos hue. Veer ne uske chhote-chhote thano ko pakad rakha tha.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya!!!! Y-Ye kya kar rahe ho aap?
Veer (smiles) : Hmm? Tumhe pakda hu!
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-! M-Mein maar dungi aapko. Haath hatao please. K-Koi dekh lega.
Veer : Koi hume dekh lega tumhe iski chinta hai? Iski nahi ki mein tumhare inn doodh ko daba raha hu? Hmm?
Kavya : E-Eeeekkk-!!! *huff* Bh-Bhaiya! Hum bhid jayenge. *blushes* P-Please haath hataiye.
Veer : Hoooo~ Aur, na hatau toh?
Kavya (blushes) : Nnnn~ I promise! I promise aap baad me jee bhar ke daba lena. P-Par, abhi, please-!!
Uski iss baat par Veer ne apne haath muskuraate hue peechhe kar liye.
Veer (smiles) : Remember your promise.
Kavya (blushes) : Gande bhaiya!
Veer : Hmm? Ye kya? Tum college le aayi?
Kavya (glances) : Ahh! Dhyaan hi nahi diya maine. Ab aa hi gaye hai toh chalo andar chalte hai. Mujhe kisi se milna bhi hai.
Usne jhooth bola. Darasal, woh college kisi maqsad ke saath aayi thi.
Veer : Huh?
Veer ne apni prashn bhari bauhe upar chadhayi. Kavya ko kisi se milna tha? Gaadi andar le jaate hue woh dono hi parking area ke paas ruk gaye.
Veer : Students baahar aa rahe hai. Abhi abhi hi departure hua hai shayad. Aaj tum nahi gayi college?
Kavya : Nahi bhaiya! Kyunki, exams aane waale hai. Toh mein ghar par hi preparation kar rahi hu. Arey haan! Aap exams nahi doge kya? Aapka last year hai na?
Veer : Yeah! Well-! Let's see. Dena toh padega. I do want my degree.
Kavya : Hehe~ Aapne kuchh padha hi nahi hai. Ab raat bhar jaag-jaag ke guide ratna hehe~
Veer (tickles her) : Tumhe bada maza aa raha hai, haan? Tumhe bada maza aa raha!?
Kavya : Ahahahahahaha~ Bhaiya-!!! Nooo! Gudgudi nii- k-koi dekh lega aise...! Noooo! Ahahahahahaha!!! Phew! Waise ek baat toh hai bhaiya. Aap bahut achhe teacher ho.
Veer : Well, thanks my dear little sister.
Kavya : Lekin, mujhe lagta hai ki mein kuchh aur challenging tasks ke liye bhi taiyaar hu. You know...! *grins*
Veer : Challenging huh!? Crowded area me gaadi chalaane se bhi zyada challenging?
Kavya (nods) : Bilkul! If you know you know. *smiles*
Uski muskaan me ek shararat thi.
Kavya : Anyways! Aaiye! Chaliye!
Woh dono hi campus me daakhil hue, aur Veer ko turant hi logo ke ghoorne ka ehsaas hua — zyadatar nigaahein Kavya par thi lekin ladkiyo ki kuchh utsuk nazre uss par bhi tiki hui thi.
Kavya humesha ki tarah kisi starkid ki tarah, apni bubbly personality liye uske bagal se chal rahi thi. Uska chulbula vyaktitva aur uska aatma-vishvas alag hi jhalak raha tha.
Jaise hi woh kuchh student ke groups se hoke guzre, door se hi unhe ek awaaz sunaayi di.
"Kaaaavyyyaaaaaa-!!!"
Aur, ek ladka khushi-khushi kuchh ladko ke saath chalte hue unki orr aaya. Dekhne me lamba aur chehre se bada hi aam sa lag raha tha.
?? : Kavya!!! Abhi aayi tum?
Kavya : Yash? Haan! Just abhi aayi.
Yash : Aur, mein kab se tumhara wait hi kar raha tha haha! Project me tumhare bina kaise decision le sakte hai hum?
Usne apne aap ko achha dikhaate hue kaha. Kavya uski baat par muskurayi lekin andar hi andar bechari ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha. Woh Yash ke liye yaha nahi thi. Woh yaha Veer ke liye thi. Uski tarqeeb Veer ko jealous feel karwaane ki thi, taaki uske bhaiya ko ye pata lag sake ki aur log bhi hai iss duniya me jo use paane ki chaah rakhte hai.
Aur, isliye usne Yash se yaha milne ko kaha tha. Sab kuchh uske plan ke mutabik chal raha tha. Usne apni aankhon ke kone se Veer ki orr dekha, kuchh pratikriya, kuchh irshya ki umeed ki, lekin Veer ke chehre par koi bhaav nahi the.
'Ahh? Come on-!! Feel jealous bhaiya!! Feel this jealousy. Show me how much you want me!! Dikhaiye!! Kuchh toh dikhaiye!! Thoda sa-! Argh!! Bhaiya ke chehre par toh koi expressions hi nahi aa rahe.'
Kavya : Umm~ Well! Thanks for waiting!
Usne apne kaan ke peechhe baalo ki latt ko le jaate hue kaha. Aur, idhar Kavya ko aisa karta dekh Yash ka dil baag-baag ho gaya. Use aisa laga jaise Kavya uske saamne sharma rahi thi.
Kintu, sacchaayi toh sirf Veer hi jaanta tha. Kyunki-
*Ding*
[Name : Yash Nagwani
Age : 21 yrs
Bio : Sheher me stationary shops ka business hai. Kavya ko pasand karta hai. Par, rejection se darta hai. Isliye, abhi tak propose nahi kiya hai. Motive farewell ceremony ke din Kavya ko propose karne ka hai.
Relationship : Strangers.
Favorability : 5]
Yash ko ek baar check karne pe hi, Veer ne sab kuchh turant bhaanp liya. Woh taajub me nahi tha. Woh jaanta tha ki uski behan Kavya ke chaahne waale bhi kayi honge. Taajub woh iss baat se tha ki kaise uski behan ne aaj herr-ferr karte hue use jealous feel karwaane ki koshish ki.
Kavya : Ah! By the way, bhaiya ye Yash hai. Mera classmate. Hum group project me bhi EK SAATH hai. Aur, Yash ye mere bhaiya hai. Veer!
Usne 'ek saath' kehte waqt kuchh zyada hi zorr daala. Veer sab kuchh samajh raha tha. Par, inn maamuli tricks ko bhaapne me use zyada samay na laga. Aur, bhala woh jaante hue iss trick me kaise fass sakta tha?
Yash (offers hand) : H-Hello!
Veer ko dekh ke hi Yash kaafi intimidate ho chuka tha. Ek toh Veer tha hi itna handsome aur upar se Kavya ka bhai.
Veer (takes hand) : Hello!
Yash : Toh aap hi woh Veer ho na? Jo news me bhi bahut charcha me the kuchh waqt pehle. Kaafi suna hai aapke baare me. Haha!
Veer : Oh? Well, yes!
Kavya : Waise-! Aaj kya karwaya, Yash?
Yash : Aaj maths me ek leftover topic complete hua aur baaki toh labs me hi time nikal gaya.
Kavya : Phew! Achha hua aaj mein nahi aayi. Poora din waste ho jaata warna.
Yash : Tum aati toh time ka pata hi nahi lagta Kavya, hahaha!
Kavya : What? Hahaha! You are so funny~
Kehte hue woh khil-khila ke hasi. Baar-baar uski nigaahein bagal me khade Veer ke chehre par mandra rahi thi taaki, woh dekh sake ki kya uske bhaiya thodi si bhi jealousy feel kar rahe hai? Magar, bechari ke haath agar kuchh lagi toh sirf — naraazgi.
Par, iske pehle ki woh aage baatein kar paate ek awaaz unke bagal se aayi.
"Veer?"
Veer ne mud kar jab dekha toh paaya ki ek ladki college ki building se nikal seedhe unki orr hi aa rahi thi.
'Wait-! Who was she again-!? Ah! Right!'
Veer : Pragya!!?
Jaise hi Pragya ne use dekha, uska chehra khil utha. System milne ke baad se hi Veer ne iss ladki ko kam hi dekha tha. Exams ko chhor woh bamushkil hi college aata tha, aur aaj bhi woh aisi thi jaise kuchh badla hi na ho.
Pragya : H-Hey! Long time no see, Veer!
Woh boli. Uski aankhein jigyasa se chamak rahi thi. Usne Kavya, Yash aur anya logo ki orr dekha lekin turant hi unhe ignore kar diya, uska poora dhyaan Veer par tha.
Pragya : We need to catch up! It's been a long time! Kya hum baat kar sakte hai?
Veer (nods) : Yeah! Sure!
Pragya ne use apne saath chalne ke ishaara kiya toh Veer haami bharte hue uske bagal se aage chal diya. Aur, bechaari Kavya wahi ki wahi khadi reh gayi. Avishvas me!
'W-Wait-! What? Bh-Bhaiya???'
Veer ko Pragya ke saath jaata dekh Kavya ke mann me uthal-puthal mach gayi.
'What just happened? Ahhh!!!'
Woh chaahti thi ki Veer ko irshya mehsoos ho, woh dekhe ki Yash jaise kitne ladke uske peechhe pade hue the. Lekin, ab Veer ko Pragya ke sang akele me baat karte hue dekh khud uske seene me ek andhruni dard uth gaya. Ek anjaan si anubhuti andar se jaise chubhi.
Toh wahi idhar Pragya aur Veer unn sab se chalte hue thoda aage aa chuke the.
Veer : Tumhara toh graduation ho gaya hoga na? You were my senior.
Pragya (smiles) : Of course! Mein yaha apne chhote cousin bhai ke liye aayi thi. Woh bhi yahi par hai. Actually, uska kal accident ho gaya toh uske badle mein uske project submission ke liye aayi thi.
Veer : Ohh! Kuchh major toh nahi?
Pragya : Nahi! Fortunately, minor accident tha.
Veer : So? Which company?
Pragya (smiles) : Globerays!
Sunte hi Veer ke kaan khade ho gaye. Koi shaq nahi tha ki 'Globerays' India ki one of the finest tech companies me se ek thi. Agar 'Nexacom' jaise bade conglomerate group ko hata diya jaaye toh tech field me 'Globerays' ka naam hi sabse pehle aata tha. Aur, isme bhi koi hairat ki baat nahi thi ki waha kaam karne waala vyakti bade hi garv se 'Globerays' ka naam leta tha.
Veer : I see!
Pragya : Par, tumhara kya? Tum kidhar gaayab rehte ho?
Veer : Mein mostly exams dene bas aata hu.
Pragya : Oh, right! Ab toh aap mister celebrity jo bann gaye ho, haan? I saw it on social media.
Veer : Haha! Naah! It's nothing much.
Pragya : Don't be modest. Khul ke accept kiya karo, Veer. Oh, right! Maine abhi poochha tha andar. Tumhare exams bhi start hone waale hai. Andar jaa ke ek baar invigilator se mil lena toh better rahega. Warna exam time ye dikkat denge.
Veer : Sure! Thank you!
Woh aur Pragya aapas me lage the aur idhar Kavya ko Yash ki awaaz kisi bhin-bhinaate machhar ke samaan lag rahi thi. Woh use sunn hi nahi rahi thi. Uski nazre Veer aur Pragya par hi tiki thi. Dono bahut qareeb khade hue the, kitna hass-hass ke baat kar rahe the, aur akhir kaar uska maatha thanak hi gaya.
'K-Kaun hai ye ladki?'
Usne pehle kabhi Pragya ko Veer ke saath nahi dekha tha. Aur, agar kabhi dekha bhi tha toh use yaad nahi ki college me koi ladki uske bhaiya ke itna close thi. Upar se woh uske bhaiya ke saath itni comfortable kyu lag rahi thi? Nahi! Iss se bhi bada sawaal —Uske bhaiya uss maamooli si ladki par itna dhyaan kyu de rahe the?
Usne apne honth bheenche, aur apne andar umad rahe toofan ko dabaane ki koshish karne lagi. Ye pehli baar tha jab use jealousy ki anubhuti hui. Kaha woh Veer ko jealous feel karwaane chali thi. Aur, kaha ab woh khud hi jealous feel kar rahi thi.
'N-Nahi-!! Aisa nahi hona tha!!! Bh-Bhaiya! Aapko- Aapko yaha hona chahiye tha. Aapko jealous feel hona chahiye tha. Kisi aur aeri-geri ladki se baat nahi-!'
Yash : Umm-! Kavya, tum sunn rahi ho na?
Kavya : Ehh? Ahh! Haan! *nods* H-Haan project! Right! H-Hum baad me baat karte hai, okay?
Aur, Yash par woh aur waqt zaaya na kar saki. Badhti chinta ki wajah se use kuchh nahi soojh raha tha. Jitna Veer Pragya se hass ke baat karta, utna hi uska gussa badhta jaata.
Iske pehle ki woh kuchh samajh paati, uske qadam apne aap badh gaye. Woh ab aur bardaasht nahi kar sakti thi. Yash ya kisi aur ko kuchh bhi kahe bina, woh seedhe Veer ki orr badhi.
"Bh-Bhaiyaaaaa~"
Usne chillaate hue unn dono ka dhyaan kheencha aur ek jhatke me usne Veer ka haath apni baahon me bhar, use apni orr kheench liya.
Kavya : H-Hume ab chalna hai.
Veer (amazed) : K-Kavya? P-Par, hum abhi-
Kavya (yells) : Nahiiiiiiii-!!!!
Woh chillaayi. Uski aankhon me hatasha thi. Lag raha tha jaise abhi hi woh ro degi.
Kavya : Aapne vaada kiya tha ki aaj hum ek saath time spend karenge. Sirf aap aur mein. SIRF HUM!!!
Woh Pragya ko kisi gussail billi ki tarah ghoor rahi thi. Jaise bataana chaah rahi ho ki uske bhaiya par sirf uska haq hai, kisi aur ka nahi. Aur, Pragya ne bhi unn dono ko dhyaan se dekha.
Pragya : Uh, hum baad me baat karte hai then Veer.
Tanaav ko mehsoos kar woh peechhe hatate hue boli. Aur, jaise hi woh waha se gayi Kavya ne Veer ki baah par apni pakad aur mazboot kar li. Uska dil abhi bhi zorr se dhadak raha tha. Apne jeevan me pehli baar, usne apne seene me kuchh gehra aur teekha mehsoos kiya tha, jo thi — Jealousy. Ekdum raw aur overwhelming!
Kavya : Hmph! Chaliye aap!
Veer : Wait! Mujhe teacher se milna hai.
Kavya : Haan toh chaliye.
Aur, woh use ghaseetate hue andar le jaane lagi.
Yash : Uh-!! K-Kavya? Project?
Kavya : I don't really care. Tum log dekh lena. Mein viva me sambhal lungi.
Yash : What???
Yash ko hairat me chhor Kavya Veer ko andar building me le gayi. Aur, uss se chipak ke hi chalti rahi. Departure ho chuka tha toh bache kuche hi students andar maujood the. Veer ne fatafat teacher se baat ki aur exam ke samay use koi dikkat na ho uska bhi intezam kar liya tha. Woh dono abhi corridor me chalte hue jaa rahe the jab achanak hi-
Veer : Huh???
Kavya use ek khaali classroom me kheechte hue andar le gayi.
Veer : Kavya?
Kavya : Shhh! Awaaz nahi, bhaiya!
Veer : Pagal! Yaha kyu laayi ho? Koi aata hoga. Chalo baahar.
Lekin, usne Veer ki ek na suni. Usne use deewar se tikaaya aur apna ek haath uske sarr ke bagal se le jaate hue deewar par teka.
Kavya : Kaun thi woh ladki?
Veer : Kaun? Pragya?
Kavya : Pragya? Ye Pragya kaun hai? Iske pehle toh maine aapko kabhi nahi dekha uske saath. Itna chipak-chipak ke baat kyu kar rahi thi woh aap se?
Veer andar hi andar muskuraya. Uski ye chhoti behan jalan me aur bhi cute lagti thi.
Veer (smiles) : Well, agar tumhare suitors hai toh mere bhi kuchh suitors hai.
Kavya : Phone dijiye!
Veer : Huh?
Kavya : Phone dijiye! Aapne uske saath number exchange kiya na?
Veer : Well yeah magar-
Aur, Kavya ne ek jhatke me Veer ka phone uske haath se chhina liya. Sabse pehle usne toh Pragya ki phone profile kholi. Uska number block kiya aur fir uske number ko seedha delete hi kar diya.
Veer : What the-!?
Kavya : Ab baat nahi hogi.
Veer : Kya tha ye sab?
Kavya : Aapko sharam nahi aayi? Aapke saamne aapki itni cute si behan waha khadi thi aur aap uss aeri-geri ladki ke saath gul-chharre uda rahe the?
Veer : Well, toh kya aapko sharam nahi aayi madam jab aapka bhai aapke bagal se khada hua tha aur aap uss ladke ke saath nain-matakka kar rahi thi?
Kavya ne uski baat par apni nazre ferr li. Veer ne iss baar Kavya ko deewar se tikaaya aur jhukte hue uske qareeb aaya. Bechari Kavya ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha.
Kavya : T-Toh? Aapko jealousy feel hui ya nahi?
Veer (smiles) : No!
Kavya (yells) : Kyuuuuuu???
Veer : Jealousy uss se feel hoti hai jiske paas apne se zyada kuchh ho. And, for your kind information my dear sister-
Kavya : ???
Veer (leans in) : Waise toh mein kabhi apni tareef nahi karta but just remember one thing - Your elder brother is in a league of his own. Mujhe Yash jaiso ke saath compare karna hi, tumhara loss tha. And, you understand that very well, right? My sweetheart?
Kehte hue jaise hi woh peechhe mudne ko hua Kavya ne use pakad zorr se kheencha aur uske sarr ko haatho me lete hue-
*Kiss*
'???'
Veer ki aankhein aashcharya me chaudi ho gayi. Kavya ne apne honth uske hontho se jod diye the. Uske honth itne narm the ki Veer ki aankhein uss adhbhut ehsaas me band ho gayi. Woh uske hontho ko kaat bhi rahi thi. Aur, jab Veer ko dhyaan aaya ki woh dono kaha par hai, woh ek jhatke me use pakad peechhe hua.
Veer : Kavya? What the hell?
Kavya : *huff* *huff* Don't worry! Iss classroom me koi cameras nahi hai, bhaiya.
Veer : Y-You-!!!
Kavya : Aap bahut gande ho. But I still love you. Ahinda se aap mere saath hoke mujhe chhor kisi aur ladki ko bhaav diye, toh yaad rakhna, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. *huff*
Veer : Kavya ki bacchi- *huff*
Kavya (blushes) : Iss se pehle ki koi aaye. Lo bhaiya- *blushes* Maine kaha tha aapse ki aap baad me daba lena. Toh- *blushes* lo!!
Usne apna seena Veer ke saamne kar diya. Ye pehli baar tha jab Veer khud sharma gaya. Usne Kavya ka haath pakda aur use waha se leke nikalne ke liye hua, jab Kavya ne virodh kiya aur boli.
Kavya : Bhaiya!
Veer (glances) : ???
Kavya (blushes) : I love you~
Veer (blushes) : Love you too! Ab chal paagal!
Uski ye chhoti behan itni jaldi itni bold hoti jaa rahi thi ki college ke classroom me hi use kiss tak kar baithi thi. Iska kuchh karna padega. Yahi soch Veer use waha se leke baahar nikal gaya.
Toh wahi dusri taraf Kritika aur Karan bhi kuchh aisi hi paristhiti me the. Kritika toh pehle hi Kavya ki baat maan kar pachhta rahi thi. Kavya ka plan hi yahi tha.
Kritika scooty par baithe drive kar rahi thi aur Karan theek uske peechhe tha. Kavya ke kehne par usne jhooth keh toh diya ki use gaadi chalaana theek se nahi aata magar, ab woh pachhta rahi thi. Kyunki, jitni baar Karan uski kamar ko pakadta utni baar woh bechari jhatka kha kar reh jaati.
Aur, unki ye meeting lovely kam awkwardness se zyada bhari thi. Tabhi, Karan ka phone baj utha. Caller Raghu tha. Usne jaise hi call utha ke phone apne kaan se lagaaya uske chehre ke bhaav badal gaye.
'Damn it!'
Karan : Kritika! Mujhe jaana hoga. Ek zaroori kaam aa gaya hai.
Kritika : Huh? O-Ok! Thank you, aaj aane ke liye.
Karan : No worries Kritika. Mein baad me bhi aa jaunga. Lekin, abhi jaana hoga. Hum baad me milte hai, okay?
Kritika (nods) : Mmm~
Aur, Karan apni gaadi uthaate hue waha se nikal gaya. Raaste me hi usne fatafat Veer ko call bhidaaya jo khud apni car me raaste me hi tha.
Veer : Hello?
Karan : Fuckin' hell- Veer!!!
Veer : Kya hua?
Karan : Ghar par police aayi hai mere.
Veer : Huh? Kya matlab?
Karan : Raghu ka phone aaya tha abhi. Usne bataya ki ghar par police aayi hai. Meri gaadi Blue Mulsanne ke baare me poochh rahi hai. Aur, tum jaante ho ki maine ye gaadi kab nikaali thi.
Veer (frowns) : Slogan-!! That night-
Karan : Right!!
Veer : Tum sambhal loge?
Karan : Well, yeah! Mujhe nahi lagta ki woh mujhe aise under arrest kar payenge. Mein kaise bhi kar ke bach jaunga. Mujhe yakeen hai police yaha uske liye hi aayi hai. Ek saal baad inhe yaad aa rahi hai uss case ki? What the hell!! Maine tumhe warn kar diya hai. Agar, kuchh hota hai toh mujhe batana. I'll send the help.
Veer (nods) : Alright!
*Call ends*
Veer ne call rakha hi tha jab uska phone fir baj utha. Aur, iss baar caller thi — Divya!
Veer : Hello?
Divya : Kaha ho tum?
Veer : Mein raaste me hu. On my way to hotel prestige.
Divya : Yaha aao jaldi.
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : FBCC se mujhe new assignment mil chuka hai. Ye jo murders ho rahe hai use leke FBCC ne apni chinta jataayi hai. Aur, unka ye maanana hai ki ye bahut bada case hai. Isliye, woh apni help provide kar rahi hai. FBCC ne Indian government se baat kar li hai. Toh, mujhe iss case me entry karne me koi dikkat nahi hogi.
Veer : So?
Divya : Are you willing to join me? Don't worry! Mein tumhari profile ka band-o-bast kar dungi. You can be my assistant. Just like old times. Will you?
Divya ne ye offer jaan boojh ke diya tha. Kyunki, Rebecca ke bol use achhi tarah se yaad the.
'Remember, Mrs. Divya! There is something special about Veer. Koi bhi aam insaan itna capable nahi ho sakta ki woh house of the killer jaisi mystery ko yu hi hal kar de. Keval aur keval ek talented individual hi ise anjaam de sakta hai. Don't you think? Toh- Kya aapko nahi lagta ki Veer aapse kuchh chhipa raha hai?'
'Iska matlab aap chaahti hai ki?'
'Yes! Yes, Mrs. Divya! Yes! I want you to unveil the secrets of not only the murders. But also the secrets of Veer. Maybe- Agar, mujhe uske talent ki pushti mil jaaye toh shayad mein use ek offer bhi dedu. That is- to join the FBCC. I'll assign him under your care.'
'Y-Yes Director!'
Divya khud bhi Veer ko leke bahut jigyasu thi. China me bhi usne koshish ki thi Veer ke baare me gehrayi se jaanane ki. Akhir, woh kaise crime se sambandhit mysteries me itna maahir tha? Aur, agar ye uska natural talent tha toh woh chaahti hi thi ki Veer ko FBCC me woh apne saath le aaye. Kahi na kahi ek swaarth se bhara kaaran bhi tha iske peechhe, jo sirf Divya ka antarmann hi jaanta tha.
Toh wahi Veer ne jaise hi Divya ke mukh se ye suna, uske honth muskaan me fel gaye. Use kal hi mission mila tha inn murders ke raaz par se parda hataane ka. Aur, Divya khud uske paas chalte hue aa gayi.
Veer : I will join you. Lekin, meri ek shart hai.
Divya : Just name it, Veer!
Aur, fir Veer ne apni maang rakh di.
***
Skylight,
Kishore's skyscraper house,
Mumbai, Evening - 5:10 PM ~
Kuchh der pehle ~
Nexacom industries ka ye tower — Skylight, Mumbai ke kshitij ke saamne khada tha, jo glass, steel aur ambition ki ek akhand sanrachna tha. Bharat ke sabse bade samooh, Nexacom ke sanrakshak, Kishor ki ye bahumanzila gagan-chumbi imaarat, ek ghar se kahi adhik thi — Ye taaqat, dhan aur virasat ka prateek thi. Meelo door se dikhayi dene waali ye building kisi shaasak ki tarah shaasan karti nazar aati thi. Imaarat ki design aadhunik vaastukala ka woh namoona tha jo duniya ki behatreen imaarato ko takkar deta tha.
Premises me qadam rakhte hi aisa mehsoos hota tha maano ek alag hi duniya me qadam rakh diya ho. Imported Italian marbles se susajjit floor, luxury cars se bhara parking area aur pratyek dwar ke dono orr hare-bhare bageeche, jinme duniya bhar se laaye gaye phoolo ko badi hi savdhani se maali ke dwara rakha gaya tha.
Imaarat ke theek saamne ek khubsoorat jharna bhi tha jo sooraj ki raushni me jhil-milaata hua nazar aa raha tha.
Aur, ye sab toh kuchh bhi nahi tha. Andar ki luxury toh iss se bhi aakarshak thi. Mehnge se mehnge granite se bani lobby, upar latakta hua crystals ka jhoomar, har ek crystal ek prasiddh French atelier ke haatho dwara cut kiya gaya. Khaali uss jhoomar ki keemat hi Mumbai me ek chhote ghar jitni thi.
Inspector Trisha ka dil tezi se dhadak raha tha. Usne iss se pehle bhi badi-badi imaaratein dekhi thi, lekin aisi koi nahi. Skylight sirf ek ghar nahi tha — ye Adarsh parivar ka ek smaarak tha. Jaise-jaise woh building ke nazdeek aa rahi thi, architecture ki dara dene waali oonchaayi ne use shan bhar ke liye apne faisle ke baare me dobaara sochne par majboor kar diya, lekin apne kandhe seedhe kar Trisha ne apne sankalp ko dridh nischit kiya aur aage badhi.
Akhirkaar, Karan sirf ek ladka hi tha — India ke sabse bade conglomerate ka uttradhikari, haan — lekin fir bhi, ek ladka hi.
Jaise hi usne cham-chamaate hue hall ke andar pravesh kiya, uske hosh udd gaye. Naram sunehri raushni ne deewaro ko nehla rakha tha, jiska reflection marble ki flooring par saaf ho raha tha. Hawa ek intoxicating scent se perfumed thi.
Aur, Trisha ko akhirkaar iss jagah ka bhaar mehsoos hua. Dum ghotne waali luxury uss par iss tarah se dabaav daal rahi thi jaise ki deewarein bhi use yaha uski tuchhata ki yaad dilaane ki saazish kar rahi ho.
Woh abhi yaha hall me aayi hi thi aur usne abhi kuchh kaha bhi nahi tha jab ek servant ne use aage jaane ka ishaara kiya. Haami bharte hue woh na chaahte hue bhi aage badhi aur tabhi do female servants apni tailored uniforms pehne uski orr aayi aur apni rehearsed smile ke saath uska swaagat kari. Unke movements ekdum shaant aur elegant the, maano jaise woh marble ko bina chhue hi uss par terr rahi ho.
Trisha ne iske pehle kabhi bhi iss tarah ki hospitality ka experience nahi liya tha. Iske pehle bhi woh bade se bade ameer se ameer logo ke gharo me gayi hui thi, lekin jo baat yaha thi woh kahi aur nahi thi. Ye sirf dhan nahi tha — ye woh dhan tha jo sammaan ki maang karta tha.
Agar, ye hall nahi tha? Toh kya tha? Woh servants ke dwara aur andar le jaayi jaa rahi thi. Jaise-jaise woh main hall ki orr badh rahi thi use deewaro par latki hui tarah-tarah ki anmol aakritiya aur paintings nazar aa rahi thi.
Usne apna sarr hilaaya, woh yaha bhay-bheet hone nahi aayi thi; woh yaha nyaay ke liye aayi thi. Kisi bhi prakar ki luxury ya fizool-kharchi use apne kartavya se vichlit nahi kar sakti thi. Aisa uska maanana tha.
Aur, jaise hi woh main hall me aayi, luxury seedhiyo se neeche aate hue Kishore use nazar aaya. Uske chehre par muskaan thi. Kahi se bhi aisa nahi laga jaise woh ek ahankaari businessman ho. Jis ladke ka saamna karne ke liye usne apne aap ko taiyaar kiya tha woh toh kahi nahi dikha lekin uske pita zaroor uske saamne the.
Saath hi usne dekha ki kaale kapde pehne do bodyguards bhi khade hue the, jo koi aur nahi — Raghu aur Jassi the.
Kishore jab neeche utar ke aaya toh usne apne haath felaate hue bola-
Kishore (smiles) : Inspector Trisha! Please! Have a seat!
Usne ek kursi ki orr ishaara kiya, jis par baithna toh door, chhoona bhi bahut mehnga lag raha tha.
Trisha : A-Aap mujhe jaante hai?
Kishor (smiles) : Mujhe jagah-jagah ki khabar lag jaati hai. Aap haal hi me nayi aayi hai Thane police station me. Abhi-abhi transfer hua hai. Kahiye! Aaj yaha kaise aana hua?
Trisha jhijhki, lekin Kishore ke narm swar ke kaaran uske paas koi vikalp na raha. Woh baithi aur use apne perro ke neeche behad hi narm kaaleen ka ehsaas hua. Ye araam use aur bhi pareshan kar raha tha. Usne apni reedh par chadhi ajeeb si bechaini ko jhakjhorne ki koshish ki, woh toh yaha iss apeksha ke saath aayi thi ki use yaha ghamand, abhimaan, paiso ka rutba aur apni beizzati dekhne ko milegi. Parantu, yaha toh filhal aisa kuchh bhi na tha.
Kishore : Toh kahiye! Kaise aana hua madam?
Trisha : M-Mein pichhle saal ke ek dabe hue case ki investigation kar rahi hu. A-Aur- Aur, mujhe aapke bete ke khilaaf kuchh saboot mile hai.
Usne kaha. Tanaav ke bawajood uski awaaz dridh thi.
Trisha : Pichhle saal ek wanted gangster leader maara gaya tha. Lekin, uski maut ke pehle woh ek car chase me shaamil tha. Uss car chase me, hume ek car ka number nazar aaya hai cctv footage se. Aur, ye car humaare control room ki jankari ke mutabik aapke bete Karan ki hai.
Kishore ki bauhe thodi sikud gayi, lekin uski awaaz narm thi.
Kishore : Mein aapki chinta ko samajhta hu, inspector. Aap chinta mat kijiye. Mere beta poora co-operate karega. Par, kya mein aapse poochh sakta hu ki aapke pass iska kya proof hai?
Trisha (nods) : J-Ji! *glances* Shekhar-!
Trisha ne Shekhar ko dekh uss se video ki demand ki toh Shekhar ne wahi cctv clip ko Kishore ke paas le jaate hue dikhaaya.
Kishore : Hmm! Dekhiye, madam. Mujhe toh pata nahi ki ye gaadi mere bete ki hai ya nahi. Ghar me itni gaadiyaan hai ki mein har ek ke number yaad toh karta nahi firunga. *smiles* Hai na? Lekin, mera beta iski pushti zaroor kar sakta hai. Raghu?
Raghu : J-Ji, sir?
Kishore : Karan ko phone kar ghar bulao.
Raghu : J-Ji!
Aur, Raghu ne kamre se baahar nikal Karan ko phone kar jaldbazi me sab bata diya. Yahi woh waqt tha jab Karan ko iska pata chala aur usne fatafat Veer ko bhi sachet kar diya.
Kishore : Ek baat aur inspector madam.
Trisha : Huh?
Kishore : Aap jaanti hai ki agar mera beta nirdosh saabit hua toh kya hoga?
Trisha : K-Kya hoga?
Kishore : Arey mere liye ye buri baat hogi na?
Trisha : What?
Kishore : Aap iss waqt kiske ghar me hai?
Trisha : Mister Kishore Adarsh ke ghar me.
Kishore (smiles) : Aap iss waqt India ke sabse bade conglomerate ko own karne waale shaks ke ghar me baithi hai. Ab aap din-dahaade mere ghar me aati hai, mere bete par ilzaam lagaati hai aur paati hai ki woh nirdosh hai. Toh, meri image ka kya? Nexacom ki image ka kya? Baahar raah chalte log ye dekhenge toh kya sochenge?
Trisha (frowns) : A-Aap kehna kya chaahte hai?
Kishore : Kehna ye chaahta hu inspector madam ki insaan ki image bahut maayne rakhti hai. Baaki, aap samajhdar hai. Umeed hai aap meri expectations par khadi utrengi.
Ye vaakya salaah kam aur dhamki zyada lag raha tha. Trisha ke liye na jaane kitne prakaar ki savouries aur delicacies uske saamne prastut ki gayi lekin, usne kuchh bhi na liya. Kishore ke baar-baar kehne par akhirkaar usne ek cup chai ke liye haan keh hi diya.
Samay guzra aur tabhi kuchh der baad Karan ghar me enter hua. Woh kahi se bhi dara hua nazar nahi aa raha tha. Woh seedha andar aaya, aur bade hi shaant swabhav se woh unke saamne baith gaya.
Karan : Ji? Mujhe pata laga ki aap mere liye yaha aayi hai?
Trisha : Dekhiye! Mujhe bas aapse kuchh sawaal-jawaab karne hai. Pehle toh he bataiye ki iss video me jo car hai, woh aapki hai?
Wahi video clip Karan ko bhi dikhayi gayi. Aur, iss beech Kishore badi hi bareeki se apne bete ko dekh raha tha. Usne kuchh kaha nahi, sirf cheezon ko ghatate dekh raha tha.
Karan (nods) : Ji haan! Ye car meri hai.
Trisha : Good! Then, mister Karan aapko inspection ke liye police station chalna hoga. Aur, hamaare kuchh sawaalo ke jawaab dene honge.
Karan : Now wait a minute. Maine kaha ye car meri hai. Lekin, iske peechhe bhala mein police station kyu jau?
Trisha : Uss raat aap kya kar rahe the waha? Aapki gaadi itni saari gaadiyo ke peechhe kya kar rahi thi?
Karan : Ah! Well-! Jassi! Please, inhe samjhao.
Jassi (nods) : Uss raat humaare Sir musibat me the. Humari Miss Kaera par attack hua tha aur hum sirf gaadi ka peechha kar hamla karne waale ko rokne ki koshish kar rahe the.
Trisha ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi. Use kuchh aisa haasil hua tha jaise maano uski isne kalpana hi nahi ki thi. Report me toh aisa kuchh bhi mentioned nahi tha.
Trisha : K-Kya matlab?
Jassi : Matlab ye ki Miss Kaera Nexacom ki owner hai. Aur, unhe rokne ke liye rival companies buri se buri saazishein rachti hai. Ab hume ye toh nahi pata lag paaya ki hamla kisne karwaya tha lekin, ek wahi gaadi thi jis se hamla hua tha.
Trisha : Aur, ye hamla xxxxxxxx hotel me hua tha?
Jassi (nods) : Ji bilkul!
Trisha (yells) : Toh waha ke hotel ke paas iski koi bhi footage kyu nahi hai?
Jassi : Kyunki, ye ek planned ambush thi. Jisne bhi hamla karwaya tha woh nahi chaahta hoga ki ye sab kuchh record hoye. Aur, waise bhi- Inn sab ka pata lagaana aapka kaam hai. Na ki humaara.
Trisha : Tsk-!!!
Jassi ne safed jhooth bol diya. Sacchayi toh ye thi ki Slogan ko maarne ka plan Veer ka tha. Hotel ke baahar cameras ka disable hona, waha Steve ko snipers dwara marwana aur fir Slogan ki car ka peechha karna, ye sab kuchh Veer ne hi karwaya tha.
Kintu, Jassi ne saara ilzaam badi hi saralta se marey hue Slogan par daal diya. Na hi Trisha Slogan ke paas jaa ke iski pushti karwa sakti thi aur na hi woh apne ekmaatra saboot ko chhorna chaahti thi jo Jassi ke dwara use mil raha tha. Hotel me jaa ke usne poochh-taachh kar hi li thi. Aur, jis bhi employee ne cameras disable kiye the uska ata-pata nahi tha. Agar woh iss employee ke baare me details nikalwaane bhi jaaye toh hotel waalo ke paas use gol-gol ghumaane ke kayi raaste the.
Trisha badle me kuchh keh bhi nahi sakti thi. Kyunki, police complaint bhi Nexacom ke dwara hi ki gayi thi. Baad me police ko hi paisa dekar shaant kar diya gaya tha aur isliye, ye case thande baste me daba diya gaya tha.
Trisha : Iska matlab aap uss car chase ke baare me bahut kuchh jaante hai. Isliye, aapko mere saath-
Jassi : Mein chalne ko taiyaar hu. Magar, Sir nahi jaa sakte.
Trisha : K-Kya?
Karan : Bilkul! Mein agree karta hu ki car meri hai par ise mein thodi chala raha tha.
Trisha : ???
Jassi : Zaahir si baat hai. Bodyguards hone ke naate ye humara kaam tha uss hamlavar ka peechha karna. Sir ko gaadi me baitha ke hum unki jaan ko khatre me kyu daalenge bhala?
Karan : Bilkul! Hamla jab hua tha toh mujhe yaad hai, mujhe aur di ko safely ghar bhijwaya diya gaya tha. Uske baad waha kya hua, mujhe koi idea nahi. Aur, na hi mujhe wo baatein bataayi gayi. *shrugs*
Karan ko achhi tarah se ghoorne ke baad Trisha uski reasoning par sawaal na utha saki. Ye common sense ki baat thi ki khatre ke peechhe aadmi khud kyu jaayega? Khaaskar tab jab woh Nexacom jaisi badi company ka ek maalik ho.
Trisha (frowns) : Hotel se ek laash bhi baramad hui thi.
Jassi : Hume nahi pata woh kaun tha. Jab waha uss vyakti ka khoon hua tabhi hume humle ka andesha hua.
Trisha : Aur, aap jo uss gaadi ko follow kar rahe the. Aap jaante hai usme kaun tha? One of the most wanted criminals - Slogan!
Naam sunte hi Kishore ke kaan khade ho gaye. Woh toh ye sab pehle se jaanta tha. Woh jaanta tha ki Slogan naam ka vyakti uski beti ke peechhe tha. Yaha tak ki woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan wahi tha jisne saalo pehle uske ghar ke maali ko maar paint se deewar par — 'killed by Slogan' likha tha.
Kishore ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan ka khaatma bhi ho chuka tha. Parantu, woh do baaton se anibhigya tha.
Pehli — woh ye nahi jaanta tha ki Slogan ko maarne waale uske aadmi nahi, balki Veer tha. Ye baat Jassi ne uss se chhipaayi thi.
Dusri — use ye nahi pata tha ki Slogan hi wahi Sanjeev tha jiski beti Swati uske haatho maari gayi thi. Kyunki, Slogan banane ke baad Sanjeev kabhi bhi Kishore se face-to-face nahi mila tha.
Trisha : Uss gangster ki laash bhi hume xxxx highway ke paas se baramad hui hai. Toh, mein kaise maan lu ki aap sirf peechha hi kar rahe the?
Jassi : Dekhiye, madam! Mein toh sirf use pakadne ke liye peechha kar raha tha. Lekin, aap meri intention ko kaise proof kar sakti hai ki maine hi use maara hai?
Trisha : Fir bhi, aapko humaare saath chalna hoga.
Jassi : Bilkul! Mein toh taiyaar hi hu. Aapke jo bhi prashn hai, mein unke jawaab dene taiyaar hu.
"Uski koi zaroorat nahi hai."
Peechhe se achanak hi ek awaaz aayi. Jaise hi sabhi ne uss orr dekha toh paaya ki ek khubsoorat lady khadi hui thi aur uske theek bagal se ek ladka bhi tha jo chehre par mask lagaya hua tha.
Ladke ko dekhte hi Karan turant hi use pehchaan gaya aur saath hi hairaan bhi reh gaya. Woh koi aur nahi — Veer hi tha.
Veer ne halka sa apna sarr hilaate hue Karan ko jab aashvasan diya toh usne bhi badle me samajhte hue haami bhari.
Veer ki nazre fir Kishore par tik gayi. Na jaane woh kya soch raha tha, koi nahi jaanta tha. Lekin, ek baat saaf thi ki Kishore ke ateet ko uss se behtar aur koi nahi jaanta tha.
Uske saath khadi woh lady bhi koi aur nahi balki — Divya thi. Usne apni breast pocket se apni ID nikaalte hue Trisha ke saamne ki.
Divya : Special Agent - Divya from FBCC.
Trisha : FBCC?
Divya (smirks) : Mujhe ye dekh ke taajub ho raha hai ki aap ek DSP hote hue itne serious matter ko bhi itna halke me leke chal rahi hai.
Trisha : Kya matlab?
Divya : Matlab ye ki ek officer hote hue aap sheher me ho rahe murders ko leke kya kar rahi hai?
Trisha : Aap kaun hoti hai jo-
Uski baat adhoori hi reh gayi jab uska phone achanak baj utha. Caller swayam uska apna pati tha — Rohan.
Trisha : Hello?
Rohan : Ek zaroori baat bataani thi. Mujhe higher ups se orders aaye hai. Serial murders ke iss case me FBCC bhi shaamil hone waali hai. FBCC ek international bahut badi crime control ki agency hai, Trisha. Ye matter bahut bada hai. Aur, majbooran higher ups ne bhi manzoori de di hai.
Trisha : Wh-What?
Rohan : Ab iss case me Mrs. Divya tumhare saath hongi aur kaam karengi. Basically, unke paas tumse bhi zyada privilege hai iss case me kyunki woh FBCC se hai. Lekin, tum unhe engage rakhne ke liye tasks de sakti ho. Tum samajh rahi ho na mein kya kehna chaah raha hu?
Trisha (nods) : H-Haan mein samajh gayi. I'll deal with it. Thank you!
Rohan : Kuchh bhi ho jaaye, don't get in bad terms with her. Jitna ho sake unhe iss case me engaged rakhna lekin, ye bhi zaroori nahi hai ki poori kamaan unke haath me saunp do. Unhe bas iska pata nahi chalna chahiye ki hum unhe side missions de rahe hai. Because, I want you to be the main figure of this case.
Trisha (nods) : Hmm! Thanks!
Rohan : Aur, iss case par lago. Uss puraane case ko abhi ke liye bhool jao, Trisha.
Na chaahte hue bhi Trisha ne haami bhari. Aur, Jassi aur Karan ko ek baar dekhi.
Trisha : Shayad aap khush-kismati hai. Mein aapse sawaal-jawaab karne firse aaungi. Lekin, filhaal mujhe ek iss se bhi bade case par kaam karna hai.
Usne fir Divya aur Veer ki orr dekha.
Trisha : Chaliye mere saath.
Aur, itna bol woh waha se nikal gayi. Karan hairat me tha. Use koi andaza nahi tha ki Veer uske liye iss tarah se madad leke aayega. Aur, bhi taajub use iss baat se tha ki bhala woh FBCC ki special agent ke saath kya kar raha tha?
Idhar police ke jaate hi Kishore ke haav-bhaav badal gaye. Uske chehre par gambheerta wapas aa gayi.
Kishore : Iss Trisha par thodi nazar rakho, Jassi. Baaki tum jaante ho na? Mujhe ye pasand nahi ki koi aera-gera aadmi mere ghar me aake itni garmi dikhaaye. Woh lucky thi ki woh ek aurat thi. Warna-! Ab tak uska transfer ho gaya hota. Ya fir naukri hi chhin gayi hoti. Use pata hona chahiye ki uski aukaat kya hai.
Jassi : Mein nazar rakhunga, Sir!
Toh wahi, Trisha ke peechhe-peechhe aate hue dono hi Divya aur Veer ne ek chenn ki saans li aur khuspusate hue woh dono baat karne lage.
Divya : Seriously! Ye officer hai ye lawyer? Itna sab kuchh sheher me chal raha hai aur ye puraane case ke peechhe padi hui hai?
Veer : Well! Leave it. Anyways, thanks meri shart maanane ke liye.
Divya : Mujhe ye maanani hi thi. Warna, tumhe shaamil kaise karti?
Veer : Kya lagta hai woh mujhse mera mask utaarne bolegi?
Divya : Agar nahi maani toh utaar dena. Aur, agar maan gayi toh koi zaroorat hi nahi hai. Waise bhi tumhari ID me tumhari shaqal saaf dikh rahi hai.
Usne apni jeb se ek ID nikaalte hue Veer ke saamne hawa me lehraayi.
Veer (amazed) : Tumhare paas ye abhi bhi hai?
Ye wahi ID thi jo Las Vegas ke crime department ne Veer ke liye banaayi thi jab woh 'House of the killers' ke case se deal kar raha tha.
Divya (smiles) : Meri aadat hai kuchh cheezon ko sambhaal ke rakhna... Aur, kuchh logo ko bhi-!
Uski nazre Veer ke chehre par kuchh zyada hi der ke liye tiki rahi. Veer muskuraya aur bina kuchh kahe woh dono aage apni gaadi me baith Trisha ko follow kar police station pahuch gaye.
Bhale hi Veer ki ye ID Las Vegas ke crime department dwara banayi gayi thi aur ye utni authentic bhi nahi thi filhaal ke liye, lekin uski pushti karne waala koi nahi tha.
Divya Veer ko kuchh bhi reason deke iss case me shaamil kar sakti thi. Ye FBCC me special agent hone ke kuchh perks me se ek tha. Woh ye bhi keh sakti thi ki Veer uska trustworthy assistant tha 'house of the killers' case me.
Trisha ne iss beech unn dono ko saari reports se sab kuchh samjhaaya aur saara ikhatta data unke saamne prastut kar diya. Lekin, Veer ka mask use zyada der raas na aaya. Woh waise hi foreign interference se sakht nafrat karti thi.
Trisha (frowns) : Mujhe koi khabar nahi di gayi hai ki aapke alawa bhi koi aur aane waala hai aapke saath.
Divya : Ye mere saath hai. My assistant! Koi dikkat nahi honi chahiye.
Trisha : Aur, ye mask kyu??
Veer (bluntly) : Chehra chhipaane ke liye.
Trisha : Kyu? Shaqal buri hai kya?
Veer (smirks) : Quite the opposite actually!
Jawab itni tapaak se aaya ki kuchh pal ke liye waha sannaata chhaa gaya. Divya ke honth muskaan me halke se fel gaye kyunki woh jaanti thi ki uss mask ke peechhe ek aisa chehra tha jo achhi-khaasi ladkiyo ko apna deewana banaane ke liye kaafi tha.
Toh wahi Trisha ke maathe par silvatein thi. Koi use turant muh pe jawaab de, aisa sunane ki aadat use nahi thi. Aur, woh bhi iss tareeke se.
Trisha (frowns) : Dekho-
Divya : Mrs. Trisha! Mein FBCC se hu. Mera assistant koi aera-gera vyakti nahi hai. He's someone who has worked with me on various major crime cases. Mask isliye, kyunki aksar use undercover hona padta hai. We agents work differently than your local police.
Trisha (frowns) : Local police, huh?
Divya : Well, it's true! Hum cases ki uss gehrayi tak jaate hai jaha police bhi peechhe ho jaati hai. Jab case unke bas ka nahi hota tab hum hi deal karte hai. I was also a former detective in Las Vegas' crime department.
Trisha ko apne pati Rohan ki baat yaad aa gayi. Yahi ki woh Divya se kisi bhi prakar ki berr na rakhe. Mann maarte hue akhir use raazi hona hi pada.
Trisha : Fine! Aur, inn specific 'someone' ka koi naam hoga? Hmm?
Veer : You can call me 'V'
Trisha : V???
Veer : Mere naam ka initial. I think it's good. Isn't it?
Trisha : Well, V or whatever..! Mujhe tum se koi lena dena nahi hai. Mera sirf itna kehna hai Mrs. Divya ki iss shaks ki zimmedari aapki hai. If anything goes wrong-
Divya : Toh woh mere sarr aayega. Jaanti hu. Chinta ki koi baat nahi. Toh, kya ab hum aage badhe?
Trisha ne sab kuchh saamne rakh diya tha. Lekin, woh ye bhi jaanti thi ki inn FBCC ke logo ko case se door kaise rakhna tha.
Trisha : Toh ye dikkat hai. Aapne kaha tha ki aap ek detective reh chuki hai, hai na?
Divya (nods) : Haan!
Trisha : Toh ye hai meri approach. Sabse pehla case — Pune. Mr. Prabhakar ki hatya hui thi.
Veer : *frowns*
[Madhuri ke pita, Master.]
'Yeah!'
Trisha : Waise toh waha ki police ne apni orr se sab kuchh kar liya hai. Par, mujhe lagta hai abhi bhi kuchh missing hai. Aap ek detective ke roop se agar first destination se hote hue baaki areas ko bhi inspect kar aayengi toh ho sakta hai hume koi clue mil jaaye. Baaki, mein aur baaki sab toh hai hi yaha. Aur, agar aapko ye sahi nahi lag raha toh aap hi kuchh suggest kariye.
Divya ne ek pal Veer ko dekha aur jab Veer ne kuchh soch haami bhari toh Divya ne bhi haami bhar di. Samajh toh woh bhi gayi thi ki Trisha use bas case se door rakhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par, aise maamlo me Veer agar raazi hua hai, iska matlab saaf tha ki kahi na kahi ye tarqeeb unke kaam aane waali thi.
Divya (nods) : Okay! Aur, kuchh?
Trisha : Please, jaise hi koi bhi clue haath lage, hume inform kariyega. Aap hi hai jo iss task ko complete kar sakte ho. Kyunki, humara yaha rehna bahut zaroori hai.
Divya : Don't worry!
Trisha : Koi escorts? Mein ek sub-inspector aur control room se-
Divya : Nahi nahi! Iski koi zaroorat nahi. Mein aur mera assistant hi kaafi honge.
Trisha : Are you sure?
Divya (nods) : Yes!! Then, hum nikalte hai.
Divya aur Veer fir kuchh der waha intezar kar gaadi ke liye nikal gaye. Aur, unki manzil thi — Pune!

Ab aage...
Veer ne apni car park ke paas hi parking area me khadi ki, jaha Kavya ne use bulaya hua tha. Sooraj baadlo ke beech dhaka hua tha, hawa halki aur thand mamooli si.
Kavya pehle se hi Veer ka intezar kar waha apni scooty liye khadi use haath hilaate hue bula rahi thi. Aaj usne woollen collar waali ek jacket daal rakhi thi jo asal me fashionable zyada thi aur protective kam.
Toh wahi Veer ne apni grey t-shirt ke upar ek black zip waala light upper daal rakha tha, jisme woh beshaq bahut handsome prateet ho raha tha.
Veer ko aata dekh Kavya mann hi mann muskurayi. Aaj toh woh atyant hi prasann thi. Lekin, saath hi uski aankhon me kuchh tha — Ek shararat jise filhal Veer gaur na kar saka.
'Aaj mein aapka poora faayda uthaungi, bhaiya. Hehe~'
Kavya : Bhaiya~ Aapne promise kiya tha. Yaad hai na? Ab aap bhaag nahi sakte.
Veer ne aate hue uske gaalo ko nocha aur bola.
Veer : Haan haan! Yaad hai. Maine tumhe promise kiya tha ki tum jab bulaogi mein tumhare paas aaunga. Aur, mein humesha apna vaada nibhata hu. Waise, tumhe sach me scooty chalana nahi aata? Ya fir ye bas ek bahaana hai?
Kavya : Mujhe aata hai. Lekin — umm, bheed-bhaad waale ilaaqe me mujhe dikkat hoti hai. I want to learn from the best. *smiles*
Aur, yahi tha Kavya ka plan. Veer ne sahi anumaan lagaya tha. Woh uske sang bas samay vyateet karna chaahti thi.
Veer (sighs) : Theek hai! Toh chalo fir. Mujhe aur bhi kaam hai. Tum chalao, mein peechhe baithata hu.
Kavya ne utsukta se sarr hilaaya aur scooty par aage baith handle ko kass ke pakad li. Veer theek uske peechhe baitha aur jaise hi woh baitha, Kavya ko ehsaas hua ki Veer ki chhaati theek uski peeth par dabb rahi thi.
Waise toh woh dono kaafi nazdeek rehte the lekin iss tarah se ek hi gaadi par itna qareeb baithna aur woh bhi sirf unn dono ka akele rehna, ye apne aap me Kavya ki dhadkane tez karne ke liye kaafi tha. Woh Veer ki garmi, uski upasthiti ko apne itna qareeb mehsoos kar paa rahi thi, ki uski reedh me ek sihran daud gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Uh... Bhaiya... M-Mein chaalu karu ab?
Woh haklaate hue boli, apne gaalo me badhti garmi ko dur karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.
Veer (nods) : Haan! Aur, araam se! Go slow at first. Hum race nahi lagaane jaa rahe.
Kavya ne haami bhari aur scooty chaalu kar aage badhayi, har chhoti-chhoti harqato ke chalte uska dimaag daud raha tha. Jaise hi woh park se guzre sadak par kabhi-kabhar aane waale utaar-chadhaav ke kaaran woh hilte gaye aur unke badan ek dusre se dabte gaye.
Kavya ka chehra ab laal padta jaa raha tha. Veer ko saamne se dekh uss se baat karna ek alag baat thi magar use apne peechhe paana jaha woh peeth se lag ke apni larzish bhari awaaz ke bol kaano me bharta rahe, ye ek alag baat thi. Kavya iske liye taiyaar nahi thi.
Sharma ke toh woh tab reh gayi jab speed breaker ke chalte woh seat se uchhli aur seedhe jaake Veer ki goad me jaa baithi. Aur, fir use kuchh mehsoos hua-
'Huh? Is that his...!?'
Uske vichar uss disha me daude aur jaise hi use iska bodh hua woh sharmaate hue khud ko hi mann hi mann daanti aur zor se apna sarr hilaate hue unn vichaaro ko nikaalne ki koshish karne lagi.
Usne iske pehle bhi Goa me Veer ke ling ko dekha tha. Yaha tak ki usne use blowjob bhi di thi. Lekin, uske bawajood woh uss baare me sochne par abhi bhi sharma jaati thi. Iss beech Veer ka dhyaan poori tarah se raaste par tha.
Veer : Kavya! Right se doggy aa raha hai, sambhal ke-
Kavya : Ehh? A-Ahhh-!!!
*Screech*
Veer : Dhyan rakho. Achha hua maine brake laga diya warna woh doggy bhid sakta tha. Hum crowded area me hai, yaha bheed rahegi. Bahut araam se chalao. Theek hai?
Kavya : Ah! H-Haan! M-Mein dhyaan rakhungi, bhaiya.
Par, bechaari Kavya akhir dhyaan rakhe toh rakhe kaise? Uska poora dhyaan toh Veer kheenche hue tha. Veer ka haath theek uske haath ke upar tha.
Woh thoda aur aage jab badhe tabhi scooty ladkhadi gayi kyunki waha se paidal chalne waale logo ka samooh guzar raha tha. Kavya ne kass ke brake lagaya toh Veer aage jhuk gaya aur santulan banaaye rakhne ke liye uske haath Kavya ki patli kamar par kass ke lipat gaye. Aur, bechari Kavya-
Kavya (yells) : E-Eeeeeek-!!
Veer : Kya kar rahi ho? Aise ekdum se brake nahi lagaate paagal. Isliye, maine kaha tha tumse ki slow chalaana. Aur, perr kyu ghistaati ho neeche? Shoes ghis jayenge poore tumhaare.
'Because it's your fault dumbo bhaiya-!!!'
Woh jaise sthir hoke reh gayi. Usne apni kamar par Veer ke mazboot haatho ki taaqat ka andaaza bakhubi lag chuka tha aur iss se woh aur bhi zyada sharma gayi.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-!! A-Aap bahut k-kass ke pakde ho.
Veer : Hmm? Ohh! S-Sorry! Woh balance banaaye rakhne ke liye mera haath achanak-
Kehte hue jaise hi usne apna haath peechhe kiya, Kavya ne uska haath thaam liya aur wapas se le jaake apni kamar par tika diya.
Kavya (blushes) : M-Maine hataane ko nahi kaha buddhu bhaiya! B-Bas kass ke pakadne ko mana kiya tha. M-Mujhe dard ho raha tha isliye.
Aur, Veer ko akhir samajh aa hi gaya ki uski ye chhoti behan darasal bas ek bahaana dhoondh rahi thi uske saath samay bitaane ka.
Kavya : Toh ab hum- aaaaahhhhhh-!!!!
Woh achanak se chillaayi jaise hi use apne seene par Veer ke haath mehsoos hue. Veer ne uske chhote-chhote thano ko pakad rakha tha.
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya!!!! Y-Ye kya kar rahe ho aap?
Veer (smiles) : Hmm? Tumhe pakda hu!
Kavya (blushes) : Bh-Bhaiya-! M-Mein maar dungi aapko. Haath hatao please. K-Koi dekh lega.
Veer : Koi hume dekh lega tumhe iski chinta hai? Iski nahi ki mein tumhare inn doodh ko daba raha hu? Hmm?
Kavya : E-Eeeekkk-!!! *huff* Bh-Bhaiya! Hum bhid jayenge. *blushes* P-Please haath hataiye.
Veer : Hoooo~ Aur, na hatau toh?
Kavya (blushes) : Nnnn~ I promise! I promise aap baad me jee bhar ke daba lena. P-Par, abhi, please-!!
Uski iss baat par Veer ne apne haath muskuraate hue peechhe kar liye.
Veer (smiles) : Remember your promise.
Kavya (blushes) : Gande bhaiya!
Veer : Hmm? Ye kya? Tum college le aayi?
Kavya (glances) : Ahh! Dhyaan hi nahi diya maine. Ab aa hi gaye hai toh chalo andar chalte hai. Mujhe kisi se milna bhi hai.
Usne jhooth bola. Darasal, woh college kisi maqsad ke saath aayi thi.
Veer : Huh?
Veer ne apni prashn bhari bauhe upar chadhayi. Kavya ko kisi se milna tha? Gaadi andar le jaate hue woh dono hi parking area ke paas ruk gaye.
Veer : Students baahar aa rahe hai. Abhi abhi hi departure hua hai shayad. Aaj tum nahi gayi college?
Kavya : Nahi bhaiya! Kyunki, exams aane waale hai. Toh mein ghar par hi preparation kar rahi hu. Arey haan! Aap exams nahi doge kya? Aapka last year hai na?
Veer : Yeah! Well-! Let's see. Dena toh padega. I do want my degree.
Kavya : Hehe~ Aapne kuchh padha hi nahi hai. Ab raat bhar jaag-jaag ke guide ratna hehe~
Veer (tickles her) : Tumhe bada maza aa raha hai, haan? Tumhe bada maza aa raha!?
Kavya : Ahahahahahaha~ Bhaiya-!!! Nooo! Gudgudi nii- k-koi dekh lega aise...! Noooo! Ahahahahahaha!!! Phew! Waise ek baat toh hai bhaiya. Aap bahut achhe teacher ho.
Veer : Well, thanks my dear little sister.
Kavya : Lekin, mujhe lagta hai ki mein kuchh aur challenging tasks ke liye bhi taiyaar hu. You know...! *grins*
Veer : Challenging huh!? Crowded area me gaadi chalaane se bhi zyada challenging?
Kavya (nods) : Bilkul! If you know you know. *smiles*
Uski muskaan me ek shararat thi.
Kavya : Anyways! Aaiye! Chaliye!
Woh dono hi campus me daakhil hue, aur Veer ko turant hi logo ke ghoorne ka ehsaas hua — zyadatar nigaahein Kavya par thi lekin ladkiyo ki kuchh utsuk nazre uss par bhi tiki hui thi.
Kavya humesha ki tarah kisi starkid ki tarah, apni bubbly personality liye uske bagal se chal rahi thi. Uska chulbula vyaktitva aur uska aatma-vishvas alag hi jhalak raha tha.
Jaise hi woh kuchh student ke groups se hoke guzre, door se hi unhe ek awaaz sunaayi di.
"Kaaaavyyyaaaaaa-!!!"
Aur, ek ladka khushi-khushi kuchh ladko ke saath chalte hue unki orr aaya. Dekhne me lamba aur chehre se bada hi aam sa lag raha tha.
?? : Kavya!!! Abhi aayi tum?
Kavya : Yash? Haan! Just abhi aayi.
Yash : Aur, mein kab se tumhara wait hi kar raha tha haha! Project me tumhare bina kaise decision le sakte hai hum?
Usne apne aap ko achha dikhaate hue kaha. Kavya uski baat par muskurayi lekin andar hi andar bechari ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha. Woh Yash ke liye yaha nahi thi. Woh yaha Veer ke liye thi. Uski tarqeeb Veer ko jealous feel karwaane ki thi, taaki uske bhaiya ko ye pata lag sake ki aur log bhi hai iss duniya me jo use paane ki chaah rakhte hai.
Aur, isliye usne Yash se yaha milne ko kaha tha. Sab kuchh uske plan ke mutabik chal raha tha. Usne apni aankhon ke kone se Veer ki orr dekha, kuchh pratikriya, kuchh irshya ki umeed ki, lekin Veer ke chehre par koi bhaav nahi the.
'Ahh? Come on-!! Feel jealous bhaiya!! Feel this jealousy. Show me how much you want me!! Dikhaiye!! Kuchh toh dikhaiye!! Thoda sa-! Argh!! Bhaiya ke chehre par toh koi expressions hi nahi aa rahe.'
Kavya : Umm~ Well! Thanks for waiting!
Usne apne kaan ke peechhe baalo ki latt ko le jaate hue kaha. Aur, idhar Kavya ko aisa karta dekh Yash ka dil baag-baag ho gaya. Use aisa laga jaise Kavya uske saamne sharma rahi thi.
Kintu, sacchaayi toh sirf Veer hi jaanta tha. Kyunki-
*Ding*
[Name : Yash Nagwani
Age : 21 yrs
Bio : Sheher me stationary shops ka business hai. Kavya ko pasand karta hai. Par, rejection se darta hai. Isliye, abhi tak propose nahi kiya hai. Motive farewell ceremony ke din Kavya ko propose karne ka hai.
Relationship : Strangers.
Favorability : 5]
Yash ko ek baar check karne pe hi, Veer ne sab kuchh turant bhaanp liya. Woh taajub me nahi tha. Woh jaanta tha ki uski behan Kavya ke chaahne waale bhi kayi honge. Taajub woh iss baat se tha ki kaise uski behan ne aaj herr-ferr karte hue use jealous feel karwaane ki koshish ki.
Kavya : Ah! By the way, bhaiya ye Yash hai. Mera classmate. Hum group project me bhi EK SAATH hai. Aur, Yash ye mere bhaiya hai. Veer!
Usne 'ek saath' kehte waqt kuchh zyada hi zorr daala. Veer sab kuchh samajh raha tha. Par, inn maamuli tricks ko bhaapne me use zyada samay na laga. Aur, bhala woh jaante hue iss trick me kaise fass sakta tha?
Yash (offers hand) : H-Hello!
Veer ko dekh ke hi Yash kaafi intimidate ho chuka tha. Ek toh Veer tha hi itna handsome aur upar se Kavya ka bhai.
Veer (takes hand) : Hello!
Yash : Toh aap hi woh Veer ho na? Jo news me bhi bahut charcha me the kuchh waqt pehle. Kaafi suna hai aapke baare me. Haha!
Veer : Oh? Well, yes!
Kavya : Waise-! Aaj kya karwaya, Yash?
Yash : Aaj maths me ek leftover topic complete hua aur baaki toh labs me hi time nikal gaya.
Kavya : Phew! Achha hua aaj mein nahi aayi. Poora din waste ho jaata warna.
Yash : Tum aati toh time ka pata hi nahi lagta Kavya, hahaha!
Kavya : What? Hahaha! You are so funny~
Kehte hue woh khil-khila ke hasi. Baar-baar uski nigaahein bagal me khade Veer ke chehre par mandra rahi thi taaki, woh dekh sake ki kya uske bhaiya thodi si bhi jealousy feel kar rahe hai? Magar, bechari ke haath agar kuchh lagi toh sirf — naraazgi.
Par, iske pehle ki woh aage baatein kar paate ek awaaz unke bagal se aayi.
"Veer?"
Veer ne mud kar jab dekha toh paaya ki ek ladki college ki building se nikal seedhe unki orr hi aa rahi thi.
'Wait-! Who was she again-!? Ah! Right!'
Veer : Pragya!!?
Jaise hi Pragya ne use dekha, uska chehra khil utha. System milne ke baad se hi Veer ne iss ladki ko kam hi dekha tha. Exams ko chhor woh bamushkil hi college aata tha, aur aaj bhi woh aisi thi jaise kuchh badla hi na ho.
Pragya : H-Hey! Long time no see, Veer!
Woh boli. Uski aankhein jigyasa se chamak rahi thi. Usne Kavya, Yash aur anya logo ki orr dekha lekin turant hi unhe ignore kar diya, uska poora dhyaan Veer par tha.
Pragya : We need to catch up! It's been a long time! Kya hum baat kar sakte hai?
Veer (nods) : Yeah! Sure!
Pragya ne use apne saath chalne ke ishaara kiya toh Veer haami bharte hue uske bagal se aage chal diya. Aur, bechaari Kavya wahi ki wahi khadi reh gayi. Avishvas me!
'W-Wait-! What? Bh-Bhaiya???'
Veer ko Pragya ke saath jaata dekh Kavya ke mann me uthal-puthal mach gayi.
'What just happened? Ahhh!!!'
Woh chaahti thi ki Veer ko irshya mehsoos ho, woh dekhe ki Yash jaise kitne ladke uske peechhe pade hue the. Lekin, ab Veer ko Pragya ke sang akele me baat karte hue dekh khud uske seene me ek andhruni dard uth gaya. Ek anjaan si anubhuti andar se jaise chubhi.
Toh wahi idhar Pragya aur Veer unn sab se chalte hue thoda aage aa chuke the.
Veer : Tumhara toh graduation ho gaya hoga na? You were my senior.
Pragya (smiles) : Of course! Mein yaha apne chhote cousin bhai ke liye aayi thi. Woh bhi yahi par hai. Actually, uska kal accident ho gaya toh uske badle mein uske project submission ke liye aayi thi.
Veer : Ohh! Kuchh major toh nahi?
Pragya : Nahi! Fortunately, minor accident tha.
Veer : So? Which company?
Pragya (smiles) : Globerays!
Sunte hi Veer ke kaan khade ho gaye. Koi shaq nahi tha ki 'Globerays' India ki one of the finest tech companies me se ek thi. Agar 'Nexacom' jaise bade conglomerate group ko hata diya jaaye toh tech field me 'Globerays' ka naam hi sabse pehle aata tha. Aur, isme bhi koi hairat ki baat nahi thi ki waha kaam karne waala vyakti bade hi garv se 'Globerays' ka naam leta tha.
Veer : I see!
Pragya : Par, tumhara kya? Tum kidhar gaayab rehte ho?
Veer : Mein mostly exams dene bas aata hu.
Pragya : Oh, right! Ab toh aap mister celebrity jo bann gaye ho, haan? I saw it on social media.
Veer : Haha! Naah! It's nothing much.
Pragya : Don't be modest. Khul ke accept kiya karo, Veer. Oh, right! Maine abhi poochha tha andar. Tumhare exams bhi start hone waale hai. Andar jaa ke ek baar invigilator se mil lena toh better rahega. Warna exam time ye dikkat denge.
Veer : Sure! Thank you!
Woh aur Pragya aapas me lage the aur idhar Kavya ko Yash ki awaaz kisi bhin-bhinaate machhar ke samaan lag rahi thi. Woh use sunn hi nahi rahi thi. Uski nazre Veer aur Pragya par hi tiki thi. Dono bahut qareeb khade hue the, kitna hass-hass ke baat kar rahe the, aur akhir kaar uska maatha thanak hi gaya.
'K-Kaun hai ye ladki?'
Usne pehle kabhi Pragya ko Veer ke saath nahi dekha tha. Aur, agar kabhi dekha bhi tha toh use yaad nahi ki college me koi ladki uske bhaiya ke itna close thi. Upar se woh uske bhaiya ke saath itni comfortable kyu lag rahi thi? Nahi! Iss se bhi bada sawaal —Uske bhaiya uss maamooli si ladki par itna dhyaan kyu de rahe the?
Usne apne honth bheenche, aur apne andar umad rahe toofan ko dabaane ki koshish karne lagi. Ye pehli baar tha jab use jealousy ki anubhuti hui. Kaha woh Veer ko jealous feel karwaane chali thi. Aur, kaha ab woh khud hi jealous feel kar rahi thi.
'N-Nahi-!! Aisa nahi hona tha!!! Bh-Bhaiya! Aapko- Aapko yaha hona chahiye tha. Aapko jealous feel hona chahiye tha. Kisi aur aeri-geri ladki se baat nahi-!'
Yash : Umm-! Kavya, tum sunn rahi ho na?
Kavya : Ehh? Ahh! Haan! *nods* H-Haan project! Right! H-Hum baad me baat karte hai, okay?
Aur, Yash par woh aur waqt zaaya na kar saki. Badhti chinta ki wajah se use kuchh nahi soojh raha tha. Jitna Veer Pragya se hass ke baat karta, utna hi uska gussa badhta jaata.
Iske pehle ki woh kuchh samajh paati, uske qadam apne aap badh gaye. Woh ab aur bardaasht nahi kar sakti thi. Yash ya kisi aur ko kuchh bhi kahe bina, woh seedhe Veer ki orr badhi.
"Bh-Bhaiyaaaaa~"
Usne chillaate hue unn dono ka dhyaan kheencha aur ek jhatke me usne Veer ka haath apni baahon me bhar, use apni orr kheench liya.
Kavya : H-Hume ab chalna hai.
Veer (amazed) : K-Kavya? P-Par, hum abhi-
Kavya (yells) : Nahiiiiiiii-!!!!
Woh chillaayi. Uski aankhon me hatasha thi. Lag raha tha jaise abhi hi woh ro degi.
Kavya : Aapne vaada kiya tha ki aaj hum ek saath time spend karenge. Sirf aap aur mein. SIRF HUM!!!
Woh Pragya ko kisi gussail billi ki tarah ghoor rahi thi. Jaise bataana chaah rahi ho ki uske bhaiya par sirf uska haq hai, kisi aur ka nahi. Aur, Pragya ne bhi unn dono ko dhyaan se dekha.
Pragya : Uh, hum baad me baat karte hai then Veer.
Tanaav ko mehsoos kar woh peechhe hatate hue boli. Aur, jaise hi woh waha se gayi Kavya ne Veer ki baah par apni pakad aur mazboot kar li. Uska dil abhi bhi zorr se dhadak raha tha. Apne jeevan me pehli baar, usne apne seene me kuchh gehra aur teekha mehsoos kiya tha, jo thi — Jealousy. Ekdum raw aur overwhelming!
Kavya : Hmph! Chaliye aap!
Veer : Wait! Mujhe teacher se milna hai.
Kavya : Haan toh chaliye.
Aur, woh use ghaseetate hue andar le jaane lagi.
Yash : Uh-!! K-Kavya? Project?
Kavya : I don't really care. Tum log dekh lena. Mein viva me sambhal lungi.
Yash : What???
Yash ko hairat me chhor Kavya Veer ko andar building me le gayi. Aur, uss se chipak ke hi chalti rahi. Departure ho chuka tha toh bache kuche hi students andar maujood the. Veer ne fatafat teacher se baat ki aur exam ke samay use koi dikkat na ho uska bhi intezam kar liya tha. Woh dono abhi corridor me chalte hue jaa rahe the jab achanak hi-
Veer : Huh???
Kavya use ek khaali classroom me kheechte hue andar le gayi.
Veer : Kavya?
Kavya : Shhh! Awaaz nahi, bhaiya!
Veer : Pagal! Yaha kyu laayi ho? Koi aata hoga. Chalo baahar.
Lekin, usne Veer ki ek na suni. Usne use deewar se tikaaya aur apna ek haath uske sarr ke bagal se le jaate hue deewar par teka.
Kavya : Kaun thi woh ladki?
Veer : Kaun? Pragya?
Kavya : Pragya? Ye Pragya kaun hai? Iske pehle toh maine aapko kabhi nahi dekha uske saath. Itna chipak-chipak ke baat kyu kar rahi thi woh aap se?
Veer andar hi andar muskuraya. Uski ye chhoti behan jalan me aur bhi cute lagti thi.
Veer (smiles) : Well, agar tumhare suitors hai toh mere bhi kuchh suitors hai.
Kavya : Phone dijiye!
Veer : Huh?
Kavya : Phone dijiye! Aapne uske saath number exchange kiya na?
Veer : Well yeah magar-
Aur, Kavya ne ek jhatke me Veer ka phone uske haath se chhina liya. Sabse pehle usne toh Pragya ki phone profile kholi. Uska number block kiya aur fir uske number ko seedha delete hi kar diya.
Veer : What the-!?
Kavya : Ab baat nahi hogi.
Veer : Kya tha ye sab?
Kavya : Aapko sharam nahi aayi? Aapke saamne aapki itni cute si behan waha khadi thi aur aap uss aeri-geri ladki ke saath gul-chharre uda rahe the?
Veer : Well, toh kya aapko sharam nahi aayi madam jab aapka bhai aapke bagal se khada hua tha aur aap uss ladke ke saath nain-matakka kar rahi thi?
Kavya ne uski baat par apni nazre ferr li. Veer ne iss baar Kavya ko deewar se tikaaya aur jhukte hue uske qareeb aaya. Bechari Kavya ka dil zoro se dhadak raha tha.
Kavya : T-Toh? Aapko jealousy feel hui ya nahi?
Veer (smiles) : No!
Kavya (yells) : Kyuuuuuu???
Veer : Jealousy uss se feel hoti hai jiske paas apne se zyada kuchh ho. And, for your kind information my dear sister-
Kavya : ???
Veer (leans in) : Waise toh mein kabhi apni tareef nahi karta but just remember one thing - Your elder brother is in a league of his own. Mujhe Yash jaiso ke saath compare karna hi, tumhara loss tha. And, you understand that very well, right? My sweetheart?
Kehte hue jaise hi woh peechhe mudne ko hua Kavya ne use pakad zorr se kheencha aur uske sarr ko haatho me lete hue-
*Kiss*
'???'
Veer ki aankhein aashcharya me chaudi ho gayi. Kavya ne apne honth uske hontho se jod diye the. Uske honth itne narm the ki Veer ki aankhein uss adhbhut ehsaas me band ho gayi. Woh uske hontho ko kaat bhi rahi thi. Aur, jab Veer ko dhyaan aaya ki woh dono kaha par hai, woh ek jhatke me use pakad peechhe hua.
Veer : Kavya? What the hell?
Kavya : *huff* *huff* Don't worry! Iss classroom me koi cameras nahi hai, bhaiya.
Veer : Y-You-!!!
Kavya : Aap bahut gande ho. But I still love you. Ahinda se aap mere saath hoke mujhe chhor kisi aur ladki ko bhaav diye, toh yaad rakhna, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. *huff*
Veer : Kavya ki bacchi- *huff*
Kavya (blushes) : Iss se pehle ki koi aaye. Lo bhaiya- *blushes* Maine kaha tha aapse ki aap baad me daba lena. Toh- *blushes* lo!!
Usne apna seena Veer ke saamne kar diya. Ye pehli baar tha jab Veer khud sharma gaya. Usne Kavya ka haath pakda aur use waha se leke nikalne ke liye hua, jab Kavya ne virodh kiya aur boli.
Kavya : Bhaiya!
Veer (glances) : ???
Kavya (blushes) : I love you~
Veer (blushes) : Love you too! Ab chal paagal!
Uski ye chhoti behan itni jaldi itni bold hoti jaa rahi thi ki college ke classroom me hi use kiss tak kar baithi thi. Iska kuchh karna padega. Yahi soch Veer use waha se leke baahar nikal gaya.
Toh wahi dusri taraf Kritika aur Karan bhi kuchh aisi hi paristhiti me the. Kritika toh pehle hi Kavya ki baat maan kar pachhta rahi thi. Kavya ka plan hi yahi tha.
Kritika scooty par baithe drive kar rahi thi aur Karan theek uske peechhe tha. Kavya ke kehne par usne jhooth keh toh diya ki use gaadi chalaana theek se nahi aata magar, ab woh pachhta rahi thi. Kyunki, jitni baar Karan uski kamar ko pakadta utni baar woh bechari jhatka kha kar reh jaati.
Aur, unki ye meeting lovely kam awkwardness se zyada bhari thi. Tabhi, Karan ka phone baj utha. Caller Raghu tha. Usne jaise hi call utha ke phone apne kaan se lagaaya uske chehre ke bhaav badal gaye.
'Damn it!'
Karan : Kritika! Mujhe jaana hoga. Ek zaroori kaam aa gaya hai.
Kritika : Huh? O-Ok! Thank you, aaj aane ke liye.
Karan : No worries Kritika. Mein baad me bhi aa jaunga. Lekin, abhi jaana hoga. Hum baad me milte hai, okay?
Kritika (nods) : Mmm~
Aur, Karan apni gaadi uthaate hue waha se nikal gaya. Raaste me hi usne fatafat Veer ko call bhidaaya jo khud apni car me raaste me hi tha.
Veer : Hello?
Karan : Fuckin' hell- Veer!!!
Veer : Kya hua?
Karan : Ghar par police aayi hai mere.
Veer : Huh? Kya matlab?
Karan : Raghu ka phone aaya tha abhi. Usne bataya ki ghar par police aayi hai. Meri gaadi Blue Mulsanne ke baare me poochh rahi hai. Aur, tum jaante ho ki maine ye gaadi kab nikaali thi.
Veer (frowns) : Slogan-!! That night-
Karan : Right!!
Veer : Tum sambhal loge?
Karan : Well, yeah! Mujhe nahi lagta ki woh mujhe aise under arrest kar payenge. Mein kaise bhi kar ke bach jaunga. Mujhe yakeen hai police yaha uske liye hi aayi hai. Ek saal baad inhe yaad aa rahi hai uss case ki? What the hell!! Maine tumhe warn kar diya hai. Agar, kuchh hota hai toh mujhe batana. I'll send the help.
Veer (nods) : Alright!
*Call ends*
Veer ne call rakha hi tha jab uska phone fir baj utha. Aur, iss baar caller thi — Divya!
Veer : Hello?
Divya : Kaha ho tum?
Veer : Mein raaste me hu. On my way to hotel prestige.
Divya : Yaha aao jaldi.
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : FBCC se mujhe new assignment mil chuka hai. Ye jo murders ho rahe hai use leke FBCC ne apni chinta jataayi hai. Aur, unka ye maanana hai ki ye bahut bada case hai. Isliye, woh apni help provide kar rahi hai. FBCC ne Indian government se baat kar li hai. Toh, mujhe iss case me entry karne me koi dikkat nahi hogi.
Veer : So?
Divya : Are you willing to join me? Don't worry! Mein tumhari profile ka band-o-bast kar dungi. You can be my assistant. Just like old times. Will you?
Divya ne ye offer jaan boojh ke diya tha. Kyunki, Rebecca ke bol use achhi tarah se yaad the.
'Remember, Mrs. Divya! There is something special about Veer. Koi bhi aam insaan itna capable nahi ho sakta ki woh house of the killer jaisi mystery ko yu hi hal kar de. Keval aur keval ek talented individual hi ise anjaam de sakta hai. Don't you think? Toh- Kya aapko nahi lagta ki Veer aapse kuchh chhipa raha hai?'
'Iska matlab aap chaahti hai ki?'
'Yes! Yes, Mrs. Divya! Yes! I want you to unveil the secrets of not only the murders. But also the secrets of Veer. Maybe- Agar, mujhe uske talent ki pushti mil jaaye toh shayad mein use ek offer bhi dedu. That is- to join the FBCC. I'll assign him under your care.'
'Y-Yes Director!'
Divya khud bhi Veer ko leke bahut jigyasu thi. China me bhi usne koshish ki thi Veer ke baare me gehrayi se jaanane ki. Akhir, woh kaise crime se sambandhit mysteries me itna maahir tha? Aur, agar ye uska natural talent tha toh woh chaahti hi thi ki Veer ko FBCC me woh apne saath le aaye. Kahi na kahi ek swaarth se bhara kaaran bhi tha iske peechhe, jo sirf Divya ka antarmann hi jaanta tha.
Toh wahi Veer ne jaise hi Divya ke mukh se ye suna, uske honth muskaan me fel gaye. Use kal hi mission mila tha inn murders ke raaz par se parda hataane ka. Aur, Divya khud uske paas chalte hue aa gayi.
Veer : I will join you. Lekin, meri ek shart hai.
Divya : Just name it, Veer!
Aur, fir Veer ne apni maang rakh di.
***
Skylight,
Kishore's skyscraper house,
Mumbai, Evening - 5:10 PM ~
Kuchh der pehle ~
Nexacom industries ka ye tower — Skylight, Mumbai ke kshitij ke saamne khada tha, jo glass, steel aur ambition ki ek akhand sanrachna tha. Bharat ke sabse bade samooh, Nexacom ke sanrakshak, Kishor ki ye bahumanzila gagan-chumbi imaarat, ek ghar se kahi adhik thi — Ye taaqat, dhan aur virasat ka prateek thi. Meelo door se dikhayi dene waali ye building kisi shaasak ki tarah shaasan karti nazar aati thi. Imaarat ki design aadhunik vaastukala ka woh namoona tha jo duniya ki behatreen imaarato ko takkar deta tha.
Premises me qadam rakhte hi aisa mehsoos hota tha maano ek alag hi duniya me qadam rakh diya ho. Imported Italian marbles se susajjit floor, luxury cars se bhara parking area aur pratyek dwar ke dono orr hare-bhare bageeche, jinme duniya bhar se laaye gaye phoolo ko badi hi savdhani se maali ke dwara rakha gaya tha.
Imaarat ke theek saamne ek khubsoorat jharna bhi tha jo sooraj ki raushni me jhil-milaata hua nazar aa raha tha.
Aur, ye sab toh kuchh bhi nahi tha. Andar ki luxury toh iss se bhi aakarshak thi. Mehnge se mehnge granite se bani lobby, upar latakta hua crystals ka jhoomar, har ek crystal ek prasiddh French atelier ke haatho dwara cut kiya gaya. Khaali uss jhoomar ki keemat hi Mumbai me ek chhote ghar jitni thi.
Inspector Trisha ka dil tezi se dhadak raha tha. Usne iss se pehle bhi badi-badi imaaratein dekhi thi, lekin aisi koi nahi. Skylight sirf ek ghar nahi tha — ye Adarsh parivar ka ek smaarak tha. Jaise-jaise woh building ke nazdeek aa rahi thi, architecture ki dara dene waali oonchaayi ne use shan bhar ke liye apne faisle ke baare me dobaara sochne par majboor kar diya, lekin apne kandhe seedhe kar Trisha ne apne sankalp ko dridh nischit kiya aur aage badhi.
Akhirkaar, Karan sirf ek ladka hi tha — India ke sabse bade conglomerate ka uttradhikari, haan — lekin fir bhi, ek ladka hi.
Jaise hi usne cham-chamaate hue hall ke andar pravesh kiya, uske hosh udd gaye. Naram sunehri raushni ne deewaro ko nehla rakha tha, jiska reflection marble ki flooring par saaf ho raha tha. Hawa ek intoxicating scent se perfumed thi.
Aur, Trisha ko akhirkaar iss jagah ka bhaar mehsoos hua. Dum ghotne waali luxury uss par iss tarah se dabaav daal rahi thi jaise ki deewarein bhi use yaha uski tuchhata ki yaad dilaane ki saazish kar rahi ho.
Woh abhi yaha hall me aayi hi thi aur usne abhi kuchh kaha bhi nahi tha jab ek servant ne use aage jaane ka ishaara kiya. Haami bharte hue woh na chaahte hue bhi aage badhi aur tabhi do female servants apni tailored uniforms pehne uski orr aayi aur apni rehearsed smile ke saath uska swaagat kari. Unke movements ekdum shaant aur elegant the, maano jaise woh marble ko bina chhue hi uss par terr rahi ho.
Trisha ne iske pehle kabhi bhi iss tarah ki hospitality ka experience nahi liya tha. Iske pehle bhi woh bade se bade ameer se ameer logo ke gharo me gayi hui thi, lekin jo baat yaha thi woh kahi aur nahi thi. Ye sirf dhan nahi tha — ye woh dhan tha jo sammaan ki maang karta tha.
Agar, ye hall nahi tha? Toh kya tha? Woh servants ke dwara aur andar le jaayi jaa rahi thi. Jaise-jaise woh main hall ki orr badh rahi thi use deewaro par latki hui tarah-tarah ki anmol aakritiya aur paintings nazar aa rahi thi.
Usne apna sarr hilaaya, woh yaha bhay-bheet hone nahi aayi thi; woh yaha nyaay ke liye aayi thi. Kisi bhi prakar ki luxury ya fizool-kharchi use apne kartavya se vichlit nahi kar sakti thi. Aisa uska maanana tha.
Aur, jaise hi woh main hall me aayi, luxury seedhiyo se neeche aate hue Kishore use nazar aaya. Uske chehre par muskaan thi. Kahi se bhi aisa nahi laga jaise woh ek ahankaari businessman ho. Jis ladke ka saamna karne ke liye usne apne aap ko taiyaar kiya tha woh toh kahi nahi dikha lekin uske pita zaroor uske saamne the.
Saath hi usne dekha ki kaale kapde pehne do bodyguards bhi khade hue the, jo koi aur nahi — Raghu aur Jassi the.
Kishore jab neeche utar ke aaya toh usne apne haath felaate hue bola-
Kishore (smiles) : Inspector Trisha! Please! Have a seat!
Usne ek kursi ki orr ishaara kiya, jis par baithna toh door, chhoona bhi bahut mehnga lag raha tha.
Trisha : A-Aap mujhe jaante hai?
Kishor (smiles) : Mujhe jagah-jagah ki khabar lag jaati hai. Aap haal hi me nayi aayi hai Thane police station me. Abhi-abhi transfer hua hai. Kahiye! Aaj yaha kaise aana hua?
Trisha jhijhki, lekin Kishore ke narm swar ke kaaran uske paas koi vikalp na raha. Woh baithi aur use apne perro ke neeche behad hi narm kaaleen ka ehsaas hua. Ye araam use aur bhi pareshan kar raha tha. Usne apni reedh par chadhi ajeeb si bechaini ko jhakjhorne ki koshish ki, woh toh yaha iss apeksha ke saath aayi thi ki use yaha ghamand, abhimaan, paiso ka rutba aur apni beizzati dekhne ko milegi. Parantu, yaha toh filhal aisa kuchh bhi na tha.
Kishore : Toh kahiye! Kaise aana hua madam?
Trisha : M-Mein pichhle saal ke ek dabe hue case ki investigation kar rahi hu. A-Aur- Aur, mujhe aapke bete ke khilaaf kuchh saboot mile hai.
Usne kaha. Tanaav ke bawajood uski awaaz dridh thi.
Trisha : Pichhle saal ek wanted gangster leader maara gaya tha. Lekin, uski maut ke pehle woh ek car chase me shaamil tha. Uss car chase me, hume ek car ka number nazar aaya hai cctv footage se. Aur, ye car humaare control room ki jankari ke mutabik aapke bete Karan ki hai.
Kishore ki bauhe thodi sikud gayi, lekin uski awaaz narm thi.
Kishore : Mein aapki chinta ko samajhta hu, inspector. Aap chinta mat kijiye. Mere beta poora co-operate karega. Par, kya mein aapse poochh sakta hu ki aapke pass iska kya proof hai?
Trisha (nods) : J-Ji! *glances* Shekhar-!
Trisha ne Shekhar ko dekh uss se video ki demand ki toh Shekhar ne wahi cctv clip ko Kishore ke paas le jaate hue dikhaaya.
Kishore : Hmm! Dekhiye, madam. Mujhe toh pata nahi ki ye gaadi mere bete ki hai ya nahi. Ghar me itni gaadiyaan hai ki mein har ek ke number yaad toh karta nahi firunga. *smiles* Hai na? Lekin, mera beta iski pushti zaroor kar sakta hai. Raghu?
Raghu : J-Ji, sir?
Kishore : Karan ko phone kar ghar bulao.
Raghu : J-Ji!
Aur, Raghu ne kamre se baahar nikal Karan ko phone kar jaldbazi me sab bata diya. Yahi woh waqt tha jab Karan ko iska pata chala aur usne fatafat Veer ko bhi sachet kar diya.
Kishore : Ek baat aur inspector madam.
Trisha : Huh?
Kishore : Aap jaanti hai ki agar mera beta nirdosh saabit hua toh kya hoga?
Trisha : K-Kya hoga?
Kishore : Arey mere liye ye buri baat hogi na?
Trisha : What?
Kishore : Aap iss waqt kiske ghar me hai?
Trisha : Mister Kishore Adarsh ke ghar me.
Kishore (smiles) : Aap iss waqt India ke sabse bade conglomerate ko own karne waale shaks ke ghar me baithi hai. Ab aap din-dahaade mere ghar me aati hai, mere bete par ilzaam lagaati hai aur paati hai ki woh nirdosh hai. Toh, meri image ka kya? Nexacom ki image ka kya? Baahar raah chalte log ye dekhenge toh kya sochenge?
Trisha (frowns) : A-Aap kehna kya chaahte hai?
Kishore : Kehna ye chaahta hu inspector madam ki insaan ki image bahut maayne rakhti hai. Baaki, aap samajhdar hai. Umeed hai aap meri expectations par khadi utrengi.
Ye vaakya salaah kam aur dhamki zyada lag raha tha. Trisha ke liye na jaane kitne prakaar ki savouries aur delicacies uske saamne prastut ki gayi lekin, usne kuchh bhi na liya. Kishore ke baar-baar kehne par akhirkaar usne ek cup chai ke liye haan keh hi diya.
Samay guzra aur tabhi kuchh der baad Karan ghar me enter hua. Woh kahi se bhi dara hua nazar nahi aa raha tha. Woh seedha andar aaya, aur bade hi shaant swabhav se woh unke saamne baith gaya.
Karan : Ji? Mujhe pata laga ki aap mere liye yaha aayi hai?
Trisha : Dekhiye! Mujhe bas aapse kuchh sawaal-jawaab karne hai. Pehle toh he bataiye ki iss video me jo car hai, woh aapki hai?
Wahi video clip Karan ko bhi dikhayi gayi. Aur, iss beech Kishore badi hi bareeki se apne bete ko dekh raha tha. Usne kuchh kaha nahi, sirf cheezon ko ghatate dekh raha tha.
Karan (nods) : Ji haan! Ye car meri hai.
Trisha : Good! Then, mister Karan aapko inspection ke liye police station chalna hoga. Aur, hamaare kuchh sawaalo ke jawaab dene honge.
Karan : Now wait a minute. Maine kaha ye car meri hai. Lekin, iske peechhe bhala mein police station kyu jau?
Trisha : Uss raat aap kya kar rahe the waha? Aapki gaadi itni saari gaadiyo ke peechhe kya kar rahi thi?
Karan : Ah! Well-! Jassi! Please, inhe samjhao.
Jassi (nods) : Uss raat humaare Sir musibat me the. Humari Miss Kaera par attack hua tha aur hum sirf gaadi ka peechha kar hamla karne waale ko rokne ki koshish kar rahe the.
Trisha ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi. Use kuchh aisa haasil hua tha jaise maano uski isne kalpana hi nahi ki thi. Report me toh aisa kuchh bhi mentioned nahi tha.
Trisha : K-Kya matlab?
Jassi : Matlab ye ki Miss Kaera Nexacom ki owner hai. Aur, unhe rokne ke liye rival companies buri se buri saazishein rachti hai. Ab hume ye toh nahi pata lag paaya ki hamla kisne karwaya tha lekin, ek wahi gaadi thi jis se hamla hua tha.
Trisha : Aur, ye hamla xxxxxxxx hotel me hua tha?
Jassi (nods) : Ji bilkul!
Trisha (yells) : Toh waha ke hotel ke paas iski koi bhi footage kyu nahi hai?
Jassi : Kyunki, ye ek planned ambush thi. Jisne bhi hamla karwaya tha woh nahi chaahta hoga ki ye sab kuchh record hoye. Aur, waise bhi- Inn sab ka pata lagaana aapka kaam hai. Na ki humaara.
Trisha : Tsk-!!!
Jassi ne safed jhooth bol diya. Sacchayi toh ye thi ki Slogan ko maarne ka plan Veer ka tha. Hotel ke baahar cameras ka disable hona, waha Steve ko snipers dwara marwana aur fir Slogan ki car ka peechha karna, ye sab kuchh Veer ne hi karwaya tha.
Kintu, Jassi ne saara ilzaam badi hi saralta se marey hue Slogan par daal diya. Na hi Trisha Slogan ke paas jaa ke iski pushti karwa sakti thi aur na hi woh apne ekmaatra saboot ko chhorna chaahti thi jo Jassi ke dwara use mil raha tha. Hotel me jaa ke usne poochh-taachh kar hi li thi. Aur, jis bhi employee ne cameras disable kiye the uska ata-pata nahi tha. Agar woh iss employee ke baare me details nikalwaane bhi jaaye toh hotel waalo ke paas use gol-gol ghumaane ke kayi raaste the.
Trisha badle me kuchh keh bhi nahi sakti thi. Kyunki, police complaint bhi Nexacom ke dwara hi ki gayi thi. Baad me police ko hi paisa dekar shaant kar diya gaya tha aur isliye, ye case thande baste me daba diya gaya tha.
Trisha : Iska matlab aap uss car chase ke baare me bahut kuchh jaante hai. Isliye, aapko mere saath-
Jassi : Mein chalne ko taiyaar hu. Magar, Sir nahi jaa sakte.
Trisha : K-Kya?
Karan : Bilkul! Mein agree karta hu ki car meri hai par ise mein thodi chala raha tha.
Trisha : ???
Jassi : Zaahir si baat hai. Bodyguards hone ke naate ye humara kaam tha uss hamlavar ka peechha karna. Sir ko gaadi me baitha ke hum unki jaan ko khatre me kyu daalenge bhala?
Karan : Bilkul! Hamla jab hua tha toh mujhe yaad hai, mujhe aur di ko safely ghar bhijwaya diya gaya tha. Uske baad waha kya hua, mujhe koi idea nahi. Aur, na hi mujhe wo baatein bataayi gayi. *shrugs*
Karan ko achhi tarah se ghoorne ke baad Trisha uski reasoning par sawaal na utha saki. Ye common sense ki baat thi ki khatre ke peechhe aadmi khud kyu jaayega? Khaaskar tab jab woh Nexacom jaisi badi company ka ek maalik ho.
Trisha (frowns) : Hotel se ek laash bhi baramad hui thi.
Jassi : Hume nahi pata woh kaun tha. Jab waha uss vyakti ka khoon hua tabhi hume humle ka andesha hua.
Trisha : Aur, aap jo uss gaadi ko follow kar rahe the. Aap jaante hai usme kaun tha? One of the most wanted criminals - Slogan!
Naam sunte hi Kishore ke kaan khade ho gaye. Woh toh ye sab pehle se jaanta tha. Woh jaanta tha ki Slogan naam ka vyakti uski beti ke peechhe tha. Yaha tak ki woh ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan wahi tha jisne saalo pehle uske ghar ke maali ko maar paint se deewar par — 'killed by Slogan' likha tha.
Kishore ye bhi jaanta tha ki Slogan ka khaatma bhi ho chuka tha. Parantu, woh do baaton se anibhigya tha.
Pehli — woh ye nahi jaanta tha ki Slogan ko maarne waale uske aadmi nahi, balki Veer tha. Ye baat Jassi ne uss se chhipaayi thi.
Dusri — use ye nahi pata tha ki Slogan hi wahi Sanjeev tha jiski beti Swati uske haatho maari gayi thi. Kyunki, Slogan banane ke baad Sanjeev kabhi bhi Kishore se face-to-face nahi mila tha.
Trisha : Uss gangster ki laash bhi hume xxxx highway ke paas se baramad hui hai. Toh, mein kaise maan lu ki aap sirf peechha hi kar rahe the?
Jassi : Dekhiye, madam! Mein toh sirf use pakadne ke liye peechha kar raha tha. Lekin, aap meri intention ko kaise proof kar sakti hai ki maine hi use maara hai?
Trisha : Fir bhi, aapko humaare saath chalna hoga.
Jassi : Bilkul! Mein toh taiyaar hi hu. Aapke jo bhi prashn hai, mein unke jawaab dene taiyaar hu.
"Uski koi zaroorat nahi hai."
Peechhe se achanak hi ek awaaz aayi. Jaise hi sabhi ne uss orr dekha toh paaya ki ek khubsoorat lady khadi hui thi aur uske theek bagal se ek ladka bhi tha jo chehre par mask lagaya hua tha.
Ladke ko dekhte hi Karan turant hi use pehchaan gaya aur saath hi hairaan bhi reh gaya. Woh koi aur nahi — Veer hi tha.
Veer ne halka sa apna sarr hilaate hue Karan ko jab aashvasan diya toh usne bhi badle me samajhte hue haami bhari.
Veer ki nazre fir Kishore par tik gayi. Na jaane woh kya soch raha tha, koi nahi jaanta tha. Lekin, ek baat saaf thi ki Kishore ke ateet ko uss se behtar aur koi nahi jaanta tha.
Uske saath khadi woh lady bhi koi aur nahi balki — Divya thi. Usne apni breast pocket se apni ID nikaalte hue Trisha ke saamne ki.
Divya : Special Agent - Divya from FBCC.
Trisha : FBCC?
Divya (smirks) : Mujhe ye dekh ke taajub ho raha hai ki aap ek DSP hote hue itne serious matter ko bhi itna halke me leke chal rahi hai.
Trisha : Kya matlab?
Divya : Matlab ye ki ek officer hote hue aap sheher me ho rahe murders ko leke kya kar rahi hai?
Trisha : Aap kaun hoti hai jo-
Uski baat adhoori hi reh gayi jab uska phone achanak baj utha. Caller swayam uska apna pati tha — Rohan.
Trisha : Hello?
Rohan : Ek zaroori baat bataani thi. Mujhe higher ups se orders aaye hai. Serial murders ke iss case me FBCC bhi shaamil hone waali hai. FBCC ek international bahut badi crime control ki agency hai, Trisha. Ye matter bahut bada hai. Aur, majbooran higher ups ne bhi manzoori de di hai.
Trisha : Wh-What?
Rohan : Ab iss case me Mrs. Divya tumhare saath hongi aur kaam karengi. Basically, unke paas tumse bhi zyada privilege hai iss case me kyunki woh FBCC se hai. Lekin, tum unhe engage rakhne ke liye tasks de sakti ho. Tum samajh rahi ho na mein kya kehna chaah raha hu?
Trisha (nods) : H-Haan mein samajh gayi. I'll deal with it. Thank you!
Rohan : Kuchh bhi ho jaaye, don't get in bad terms with her. Jitna ho sake unhe iss case me engaged rakhna lekin, ye bhi zaroori nahi hai ki poori kamaan unke haath me saunp do. Unhe bas iska pata nahi chalna chahiye ki hum unhe side missions de rahe hai. Because, I want you to be the main figure of this case.
Trisha (nods) : Hmm! Thanks!
Rohan : Aur, iss case par lago. Uss puraane case ko abhi ke liye bhool jao, Trisha.
Na chaahte hue bhi Trisha ne haami bhari. Aur, Jassi aur Karan ko ek baar dekhi.
Trisha : Shayad aap khush-kismati hai. Mein aapse sawaal-jawaab karne firse aaungi. Lekin, filhaal mujhe ek iss se bhi bade case par kaam karna hai.
Usne fir Divya aur Veer ki orr dekha.
Trisha : Chaliye mere saath.
Aur, itna bol woh waha se nikal gayi. Karan hairat me tha. Use koi andaza nahi tha ki Veer uske liye iss tarah se madad leke aayega. Aur, bhi taajub use iss baat se tha ki bhala woh FBCC ki special agent ke saath kya kar raha tha?
Idhar police ke jaate hi Kishore ke haav-bhaav badal gaye. Uske chehre par gambheerta wapas aa gayi.
Kishore : Iss Trisha par thodi nazar rakho, Jassi. Baaki tum jaante ho na? Mujhe ye pasand nahi ki koi aera-gera aadmi mere ghar me aake itni garmi dikhaaye. Woh lucky thi ki woh ek aurat thi. Warna-! Ab tak uska transfer ho gaya hota. Ya fir naukri hi chhin gayi hoti. Use pata hona chahiye ki uski aukaat kya hai.
Jassi : Mein nazar rakhunga, Sir!
Toh wahi, Trisha ke peechhe-peechhe aate hue dono hi Divya aur Veer ne ek chenn ki saans li aur khuspusate hue woh dono baat karne lage.
Divya : Seriously! Ye officer hai ye lawyer? Itna sab kuchh sheher me chal raha hai aur ye puraane case ke peechhe padi hui hai?
Veer : Well! Leave it. Anyways, thanks meri shart maanane ke liye.
Divya : Mujhe ye maanani hi thi. Warna, tumhe shaamil kaise karti?
Veer : Kya lagta hai woh mujhse mera mask utaarne bolegi?
Divya : Agar nahi maani toh utaar dena. Aur, agar maan gayi toh koi zaroorat hi nahi hai. Waise bhi tumhari ID me tumhari shaqal saaf dikh rahi hai.
Usne apni jeb se ek ID nikaalte hue Veer ke saamne hawa me lehraayi.
Veer (amazed) : Tumhare paas ye abhi bhi hai?
Ye wahi ID thi jo Las Vegas ke crime department ne Veer ke liye banaayi thi jab woh 'House of the killers' ke case se deal kar raha tha.
Divya (smiles) : Meri aadat hai kuchh cheezon ko sambhaal ke rakhna... Aur, kuchh logo ko bhi-!
Uski nazre Veer ke chehre par kuchh zyada hi der ke liye tiki rahi. Veer muskuraya aur bina kuchh kahe woh dono aage apni gaadi me baith Trisha ko follow kar police station pahuch gaye.
Bhale hi Veer ki ye ID Las Vegas ke crime department dwara banayi gayi thi aur ye utni authentic bhi nahi thi filhaal ke liye, lekin uski pushti karne waala koi nahi tha.
Divya Veer ko kuchh bhi reason deke iss case me shaamil kar sakti thi. Ye FBCC me special agent hone ke kuchh perks me se ek tha. Woh ye bhi keh sakti thi ki Veer uska trustworthy assistant tha 'house of the killers' case me.
Trisha ne iss beech unn dono ko saari reports se sab kuchh samjhaaya aur saara ikhatta data unke saamne prastut kar diya. Lekin, Veer ka mask use zyada der raas na aaya. Woh waise hi foreign interference se sakht nafrat karti thi.
Trisha (frowns) : Mujhe koi khabar nahi di gayi hai ki aapke alawa bhi koi aur aane waala hai aapke saath.
Divya : Ye mere saath hai. My assistant! Koi dikkat nahi honi chahiye.
Trisha : Aur, ye mask kyu??
Veer (bluntly) : Chehra chhipaane ke liye.
Trisha : Kyu? Shaqal buri hai kya?
Veer (smirks) : Quite the opposite actually!
Jawab itni tapaak se aaya ki kuchh pal ke liye waha sannaata chhaa gaya. Divya ke honth muskaan me halke se fel gaye kyunki woh jaanti thi ki uss mask ke peechhe ek aisa chehra tha jo achhi-khaasi ladkiyo ko apna deewana banaane ke liye kaafi tha.
Toh wahi Trisha ke maathe par silvatein thi. Koi use turant muh pe jawaab de, aisa sunane ki aadat use nahi thi. Aur, woh bhi iss tareeke se.
Trisha (frowns) : Dekho-
Divya : Mrs. Trisha! Mein FBCC se hu. Mera assistant koi aera-gera vyakti nahi hai. He's someone who has worked with me on various major crime cases. Mask isliye, kyunki aksar use undercover hona padta hai. We agents work differently than your local police.
Trisha (frowns) : Local police, huh?
Divya : Well, it's true! Hum cases ki uss gehrayi tak jaate hai jaha police bhi peechhe ho jaati hai. Jab case unke bas ka nahi hota tab hum hi deal karte hai. I was also a former detective in Las Vegas' crime department.
Trisha ko apne pati Rohan ki baat yaad aa gayi. Yahi ki woh Divya se kisi bhi prakar ki berr na rakhe. Mann maarte hue akhir use raazi hona hi pada.
Trisha : Fine! Aur, inn specific 'someone' ka koi naam hoga? Hmm?
Veer : You can call me 'V'
Trisha : V???
Veer : Mere naam ka initial. I think it's good. Isn't it?
Trisha : Well, V or whatever..! Mujhe tum se koi lena dena nahi hai. Mera sirf itna kehna hai Mrs. Divya ki iss shaks ki zimmedari aapki hai. If anything goes wrong-
Divya : Toh woh mere sarr aayega. Jaanti hu. Chinta ki koi baat nahi. Toh, kya ab hum aage badhe?
Trisha ne sab kuchh saamne rakh diya tha. Lekin, woh ye bhi jaanti thi ki inn FBCC ke logo ko case se door kaise rakhna tha.
Trisha : Toh ye dikkat hai. Aapne kaha tha ki aap ek detective reh chuki hai, hai na?
Divya (nods) : Haan!
Trisha : Toh ye hai meri approach. Sabse pehla case — Pune. Mr. Prabhakar ki hatya hui thi.
Veer : *frowns*
[Madhuri ke pita, Master.]
'Yeah!'
Trisha : Waise toh waha ki police ne apni orr se sab kuchh kar liya hai. Par, mujhe lagta hai abhi bhi kuchh missing hai. Aap ek detective ke roop se agar first destination se hote hue baaki areas ko bhi inspect kar aayengi toh ho sakta hai hume koi clue mil jaaye. Baaki, mein aur baaki sab toh hai hi yaha. Aur, agar aapko ye sahi nahi lag raha toh aap hi kuchh suggest kariye.
Divya ne ek pal Veer ko dekha aur jab Veer ne kuchh soch haami bhari toh Divya ne bhi haami bhar di. Samajh toh woh bhi gayi thi ki Trisha use bas case se door rakhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Par, aise maamlo me Veer agar raazi hua hai, iska matlab saaf tha ki kahi na kahi ye tarqeeb unke kaam aane waali thi.
Divya (nods) : Okay! Aur, kuchh?
Trisha : Please, jaise hi koi bhi clue haath lage, hume inform kariyega. Aap hi hai jo iss task ko complete kar sakte ho. Kyunki, humara yaha rehna bahut zaroori hai.
Divya : Don't worry!
Trisha : Koi escorts? Mein ek sub-inspector aur control room se-
Divya : Nahi nahi! Iski koi zaroorat nahi. Mein aur mera assistant hi kaafi honge.
Trisha : Are you sure?
Divya (nods) : Yes!! Then, hum nikalte hai.
Divya aur Veer fir kuchh der waha intezar kar gaadi ke liye nikal gaye. Aur, unki manzil thi — Pune!
