After everyone had congratulated them, AS and HM were left alone in their room… AS locked the door and both of them moved to the washroom… “Yeh sab kya chal raha hai?? Humne toh kuch kiya bhi nahi… aur aap… kaise??” AS teased her… “Aap fir shuru ho gaye?? Yaha situation kya hai aur aapko mazzaq sujh raha hai…” “Mazzaq?? Woh toh aapne kiya hai… Humne aapse kya kaha tha aur aapne kya kiya…??” “Humne kuch nahi kiya…” “Toh sabko yeh galatfehmi kaise ho gayi ke aap maa bannewali hai??” “Hum kitchen mei the… waha aunty ji kuch bana rahi thi… uski smell se hume nausea jaise feel hua… aur fir achanak se aaye nausea ki wajah se chakkar aa gaye… Bas aunty ji ne ulta matlab nikal liya…” AS hit his forehead… “Kya farak padta hai sir… waise bhi aaram karne ke liye yeh reason jyada convincing hai…” “Baat toh aapki sahi hai…” AS said lost in thoughts… “Kya sochne lag gaye aap??” “Abhi woh mahatvpurn nahi hai… Aapke upar aaj sab kuch nirbhar karta hai… Dhyan se jaiyega… Danny yaha nahi aayega aisa humara andaza hai… Lekin hum galat ho sakte hai… Kisi bhi halat mei aap kuch nahi karengi… aap keval nireekshan karengi… Samajh gayi aap??” “Ji…” “Aur koi bhi pareshani ho toh aap hume sanket dengi…” “Ji…” “Baher chalke thoda natak karna padega… Tanya zarur humari baatein sun rahi hogi…” “Chaliye…”
Both had settled down in the room… “Mai maa ko call karke yeh khabar sunata hu…” AS said… “Rukiye Veer…” “Kya hua?? Aap khush nahi hai Meher??” “Aisi baat nahi hai… Pehle doctor se confirm karva lete hai… aap jante hai na last time kya hua tha…??” “Hmm… yaad hai mujhe…” “Agar dobara waisa hua toh maa ko bohot chot pohchegi…” “Sahi keh rahi hai aap… Thik hai… Abhi aaram kijiye… bohot kamzoor ho gayi hai…” “Lekin kuch der mei toh mehman aana shuru ho jayenge… Mujhe ready bhi toh hona hai…” “Aap nahi aa rahi Jagrathe mei…” “Kya keh rahe hai Veer… Acha thodi lagta hai…” “Dekhiye… aapki tabiyat thik nahi hai… Aise mei aapka puri raat jagna thik nahi…” “Lekin…” “Maine kaha na… Aunty ji se mai baat kar lunga… Abhi mai juice lekar aata hu… aap aaram kariye…” Saying so he left the room… He was right… TV had heard their entire conversation… She had found nothing suspicious… She decided to get ready as she had a task to complete…
The house was filled with guests… the function had begun… After the to-be-married couple performed the rituals, TV discreetly left the place… No one had noticed except AS… He had been watching her like a hawk… He alerted HM who was ready and waiting for the cue… She left the room and in no time was in the garden… She saw TV sneaking out and moving towards the Academy building… Maintaining reasonable distance, HM started following TV… TV did not enter the Academy building, instead skirted around it and moved towards the Training Ground… HM was confused but she kept following her… There was a little metal shade in the corner hidden away from the common eye… It was locked… TV pulled out some solution and poured it into the keyhole… She waited for few minutes for it to stiffen… She pulled it out… The stiffened piece appeared like an imprint of the key but a weaker one, could not be used to open the lock… But it was enough to make a proper key… TV smiled… She them moved further ahead… There was a small breach in the side wall… She put the key imprint there and sent a message… Satisfied TV decided to return to the house… HM hid in the shadows away from her eyes… Once TV left, HM came out of the shadows and started moving towards the house… But to her back luck, on of the guards spotted her…
The guard whistled to alert others of the intruder… HM adjusted her hoodie and mask and started running… She kept dodging the guards coming her way… She had passed the academy and was running towards the house… she felt a bullet whizz past her and accelerated herself… The commotion had alerted everyone inside the house… A guard ran in and informed MG Gill about the intrusion… “Sir usse aapke ghar mei aate dekha hai ek guard ne…” AS was worried now… “Go check around the house…” MG Gill ordered… The guards rushed in all directions… “Puttar ji… Meher kaha hai??” VG’s mother asked worried… “Meher kamre mei aaram kar rahi thi… Mai jake dekhta hu…” AS said worried… “Mai bhi chalta hu aapke saath Veer…” Vikram said… AS couldn’t deny… He just nodded and both rushed upstairs towards their room… AS pushed the door open and found the room empty… Where is HM?? How was he going to handle the situation now?? Was their cover compromised?? His heart started beating fast… Before he could think anything, others had joined them… “Kaha hai Meher??” TV asked suspiciously… As if on the cue, HM walked out of the washroom…
“Aap sab yaha?? Kya hua??” HM asked trying to sound innocent… AS heaved a sigh of relief… He just rushed and pulled HM in a bone crushing hug… “Aapko andaza bhi nahi hai Meher mai kitna darr gaya tha…” he said… “Kya hua hai Veer??” she asked causing him to break the hug… “Koi ghus aaya hai ghar mei… Aap yaha nahi dikhi toh mujhe laga kahi usne aapko kuch…” he couldn’t complete his sentence, his voice turning heavy… HM was surprised at his acting skills… She hugged him… “Mai thik hu…” she tried to console him… One of the guards came in, “Sir ghar mai koi nahi hai… Lagta hai woh bhag gaya…” “Koi andar aaya kaise?? Aur abhi bhag gaya… Aap log kar kya rahe hai??” MG Gill thundered… He left with the guard to make some security tweaks… “Meher… Abhi aaram kar lo… Veer aap yahi ruk jao…” VG’s mother suggested… “Ji…” “Chalo Vikram aur Tanya… Abhi mehman hai niche…” “Ji… Chaliye…” Vikram said… “Veer… Khayal rakhiye… Kuch zarurat ho toh batana…” Vikram said “Ji…” AS replied… With that three of them left… “Mai change karke aata hu… Aap aaram kijiye…” AS said and signalled her to come to the washroom…
“Aap thik hai??” AS asked… “Ji Sir… Maaf kijiye… Humse laparwahi ho gayi…” HM answered… “Hua kya lekin??” HM narrated all the events… “Aap bachi kaise??” AS asked… “Aap ki wajah se…” “Humari wajah se?? Humne kya kiya??” “Agar aap hume kitchen ke window ke bare mei nahi batate toh aaj hum pakde jate…” AS remembered telling her about all the possible entry and exit points… “Hum waha se andar aaye aur sabki nazar bachake room mei aa gaye… Lekin humne kisike aane ki aahat suni toh change karne washroom mei aa gaye…” “Aapne acha kiya jo andar aa gayi… Lekin humari halat kharab ho gayi thi… Hume sujha hi nahi ke kya jawab de sabko…” “Shukr hai sab thik ho gaya… Lekin hume darr hai MG Gill security tight kar denge toh Tanya apna plan execute nahi kar payegi… Fir hum use red-handed kaise pakdenge??” HM said… “Filhaal aap aaram kijiye… waise hi aapki tabiyat thik nahi hai… Subah dekhte hai kya karna hai…” AS said… His casual reply confused HM… He had some plan up his sleeves is what she could decipher out of his attitude…
