The Life Under Covers

Entangled 1.3

She was on the way to reach the resort!
"Ammi aur Maa ki baat maan kar hum jaa to rahe hain, par itni bechaini kyu ho rahi hai, ye party , sab kuch itna ajeeb kyu lag raha hai.....uff .....ye hum zyada sochne lage hain..." She took her phone to search for something to watch when came across a video of karishma Singh beating a goon.
" Kitni achi officer ban gayi ho tum, itne saalo me ek din ni hua jab tumhe miss ni kiya. Kya hum kabhi ni milenge fir ? Kya sab bhulake ek nayi shuruaat nahi kar sakte?"
She brushed aside her thoughts and started looking at outside.
--------------------------------------------------
"Sir , ye sab kya hai aur itni badi baat kisi bhi news channel pe nahi ayi, ajeeb ni hai , ye ladki aaj tak aise aram se rehri hai itni jaane barbad karke."
"Billu! (Loudly in anger) ainda Haseena Mallik ke bare me kuch bolne se pehle 100 bar sochna , aur rahi baat is khabar ki to kya pata yahi connection hai Oberois aur Ms Mallik ka . Adhura gyaan bahut ghatak hota h ."
"Sorry sir, par sir aap unke liye itne possessive kyu hain, aap jante hain unhe?"
"Jante hain , jaan basti hai unme hamari par abhi ye sab batane ka samay nahi. Ye party me kuch bahut bada karne wala hai Oberoi, acha suno aaj Maya apne us boyfriend ke saath jayegi kahi aur Adhiraj bhi raat tak yaha nahi hai , sare House helpers ko off diya hai aur naya staff appoint Kiya hai jo raat tak ayega . Hamare pas yahi mauka hai Adhiraj ke against proofs collect karne ka ."
"Sir cctv camera?"
"Hack kar liye hain humne sare , wo sirf wo dikhayenge jo hum chahte hain. Ye aakhiri mauka hai Billu, hamara cover blow ho isse pehle hume aaj sare proofs ikkathe karne hai aur saath hi wo kya plan kar raha hai ye bhi pata lagana hai."
"Ji sir ho jayega" Billu speak confidently.
They started with their search mission.
But couldn't find anything. During their search they come across a room near Adhiraj's study.
"Yaha koi secret room to hai , kyuki mene kayi bar notice Kiya hai Adhiraj aur Maya ko is room me aate hue dekha hai but bahut advanced security hai ."
"No fear when Billu is here. Mai kholunga ye room bina security tode"
"Are wah shreeman! Kabhi kabhi lagata hai aap zaroor pehle chor rahe honge."
He looks at him annoyed but proceeds to open the room and opens it too.
They enter inside the room.
"Sir ye to normal room hai yaha to kuch bhi suspicious nahi hai aur lagta hai Adhiraj sir ko fishes bahut pasand hai pura samudar hi utha laye hai "
"Yahi to achambhe ki baat hai, berhal kuch to hai yaha jo hum dekh ke bhi nahi dekh pare." Anubhav spoke looking at a large fish aquarium.
"Sir aapki hindi palle ni pad ti thi pehle aur aapne ab urdu bhi shuru kar di hai , thoda to rehem kijiye."
"Maaf karna wo flow flow me...." He smirked looking at the aquarium and pushed it aside . There was a wooden panel behind it. He knocked at it and found it hollow.
"Mil gaya secret room ya yu kaho locker"
He pushed it aside and found various papers, files in it.
"Kamal hai itna bada admi aur important papers bank ki jagah ghar me rakhta hai."
"Shreeman bank me illegal cheeze kabse rakhi jane lagi" he said taking out some samples of morphine and cocaine .
They took the photographs and collected the samples of drugs in small packets. Anubhav went through some files and was shocked to find one file.
"Ranvijay Nagar!"
"Sir ye to underworld ka mashoor naam hai. Aur ye to wahi hai jo Haseena mam....."
"Ab hume sab samajh araha hai Billu. Abhi tak in 6 mahino me hume bas iske illegal kam jaha hote hain un jagah ka , iski gangs ka pata chala tha. Par hume is party ka exact reason ni mil raha tha. Ye sab kuch Ranvijay se juda hai, socho jitne bhi log list me the sab un attacks ya ghatnaon se sambandhit hain jinhe Ranvijay ne lead kiya tha. Hume lagta hai...." Billu interrupted!
"Ranvijay aur Adhiraj ek hi hai ! Adhiraj ne plastic surgery karwai hai ....."
"Billu ye koi Ekta Kapoor ka serial nahi hai. Hume ye janna hai ye Oberois aur Ranvijay ka connection kya hai . Ya shayad hum jante hain"
"Kya jante hain sir aap jo mai nahi janta?"
"Billu ye sara buisness empire Adhiraj aur uski maa aur nana ka hai naki uske pita ka. Ye Oberois ne jo duniya me safed chola pehne hue jo chhavi banayi hai na sab chhalava hai." Billu received a message.
"Sir jaldi chaliye yaha se , wo guests arahe hain . Un sab ke upar bhi nazar rakhni hai"
Hearing this Anubhav's face fall.
"Tum jaao , hum ye proofs ko IB office bhejte hain , ye kafi hai Adhiraj ko arrest karne ke liye baki sab party me hoga ."
"Ji sir , Jai Hind!"
"Jai Hind!"
-------------------------------------------------
Karishma stepped out of the car along with Vyom and mpt team .
"Aaj mausam kitna sunder hai . Patidev sach me ye trip bahut yaad gar hoga"
"Haan zaroor, ab aapki puri team jo aayi hai yaha." He spoke annoyingly.
"Madam asman me dekhiye kitne badal hai par fir bhi mausam saaf hai. Aur wo dekhiye (pointing towards sky) wo do badal ek dum opposite se ek dusre se milre hain mano do bichde hue dost milre ho ." Hearing word friend karishma fall in deep thoughts.
"Tum use call kyu nahi kar leti? Usne jo kiya tha tumhare liye kiya ta na . Fir kyu narazgi?"
"Hum naraz nahi hain Vyom ji , gussa hai khud se ki hamari dost ko akela chhod diya jab use hamari sabse zyada zaroorat thi. Aur kese kare usse baat? Kis muh se kare? Hume pata bhi nahi wo kaha hai , kesi hai?"
"Are aap kon hain ? Karishma madam ko bulaiye!" Cheeta spoke on seeing her with tears in her eyes.
"Tum na ....yaha kuch nahi bolenge , Lucknow chalo batayenge."
All went inside the resort.
Avtaar and Vani kapoor too reached there along with others .
Haseena too reached the resort.
"Ye hume itni bechaini kyu hori hai, jese Anubhav yahi kahi hain ......" She thought and moved inside.
All were getting keys to their rooms .
"Karishma!" Hearing her name from the very known voice she turned."Haseena!" Words struggled to come out of her mouth. They just dropped everything from their hands and approached each other. Their mind went blank . After taking 2 minutes to figure out whether it was a dream or reality they hugged each other. Vyom looked from a distance and smiled while cheetosh were clueless.
"Kaha thi tum, mana hum ulta khopdi hai par tum to samajhdar ho na fir ek baar bhi hume kyu contact ni kiya?"
"Kese karte tum bolke jo gayi thi ki aainda tumhe contact na kare."
"Tumne hume thappad kaahe ni mara ?"
"Wo to tumhaara department hai ." Haseena chuckled saying this.
"Are dono akele hi mil loge ya hum se bhi miloge ." Vyom said coming to duo.
"Are Major Vyom Singh! Jai Hind! "
"Jai Hind Ms Mallik." Both smiled.
"Kese hain Jiju aap? Ye toofan pareshan to nahi kar rahi?"
"Haan lekin seh lenge , ab pyaar kiya hai to ye sehna pdega" both smiled while karishma pouted.
She introduced santosh and Cheetah to haseena .
"Acha haseena inse Milo kehne ko hamari team hai par pariwar se kam nahi. Constable Santosh Sharma aur constable Cheetah Chaturvedi"
"Jai Hind Maddam sir" they saluted her .
"Aapne hume ye kyu bola? Aur hum normal civilian hai fir ..."
"Pata nahi bas mann kiya khud hi muh se nikal gaya apko dekh ke ."
Haseena smiled in response.
"Acha chaliye pehle host se to mil le hamari baate to chalti rahengi." Vyom said.
On the way karishma asked
"Haseena tum akele aayi ho?"
"Kyu yaha kisi ke saath aane pe discount milta hai!" She said tauntingly.
"Haan ab bana na hamara din. Pichle itne saalo me yahi to miss kar rahe the. Vese discount ki to baat ye rahi ki pura rehne ka expense Mr Oberoi pe hai to hume chinta nahi. "
"Matlab ab bhi wahi haal hai."
With their banter going on they entered the main hall where Adhiraj was waiting for them.
"Welcome to all the lovely people! Hume bahut khushi hui ki aap sabne hamare nimantran ka maan rakha. Hum kamana karenge ki ye kuch din aapke jivan ke beyhadh haseen din ho."
All smiled in response while he continued " ab hum aapko kisi se milwana chahte hain , hamari behen aur hamare beyhadh azeez dost se. Ye hai Maya Oberoi, hamari pyari behen aur hamara dost ..." He asked that where Anubhav was since he should have reached here. Anubhav reached at the entrance of hall .
"Ye raha hamara dost Anubhav Singh. Bas kehne ko dost hai bhai se kam nahi hai "
Hearing the name , land slipped under Haseena's feet. She was collecting strength to look behind to see it he was the same man for whom she was yearning past 6 months to have a glance. While he was struggling to move forward thinking how he would face her. And what if she came forward and spilled out everything. Adhiraj won't have a second thought before killing her and the whole mission too would be destroyed but he managed to step forward. She had a clear picture of him when he came forward . She wanted to hug him tightly but seeing his indifferent behaviour she stopped. He was behaving as if he doesn't even know her. Was he the same Anubhav? Of course he was . Had he lost his memory?She went down the memory lane.
Flashback
"Haseena dekhiye hum ek IB officer hain, kabhi kabhi hume kuch aisa karna padega jo aapke liye bahut ashcharya janak ho ya bahut bada jhatka de , aap bas humpe vishwas kariyega us vakt ."
"Hume aap par pura bharosa hai !" She smiled and hugged him.
Flashback ends
The thoughts were going in her mind while Maya interrupted.
"Haseena lagta hai aapne hume pehchana nahi. Pichle saal hum internship ke liye St. Xavier College aye the yad hai?"
" Are Maya hum aapko nahi bhule hain. Balki hum soch rahe the ki shayad aap hume bhul gayi."
"Kamal hai haseena, hum to apko dost samajh rahe the aur apne la di na formality. Kher chhodiye , inse miliye Anubhav Singh, hamare fiancee"
The world went blurry infront of her eyes.
"Fiancee" this word shocked his soul to the core. She looked at him , his eyes depicted only emptiness. Should she still trust him ? But she left all this for later on since she doesn't want to create a scene considering the fact that he had cleared such things before .
All this was not unnoticed by Karishma, afterall she was her childhood bestie.
All have a formal introduction with each other.
Anubhav was having hard time to breathe there. He went away .
On reaching his room he loosen his tie and opened his shirt buttons and collapsed on the bed remembering her face.
Billu too came there and asked "Sir kya hua aapko? Aap aise waha se aagye ! Sab theek to hai aur Haseena Mallik akhir hain kon jo aap itna pareshan hain unhe dekh kar .

"Haseena ji! Hamari jaan , hamara pyaar, hamari ardhangini hain. Mrs Haseena Mallik Singh."

Precap-
Hum log apne desh ki raksha ki kasam ke liye apna parivar, apna pyaar sab ek taak pe rakh ke nikal padte hain sar pe kafan rakh ke aur log hume hi gunehgar bana dete hain........

"Par sir ab aap haseena madam ko kese batayenge"
"Ye vikalp nahi hain hamare pas Billu, jab tak ye mission successful nhi hota tab tak hum kuch nahi kar sakte....."
