Flashbacks

"I don't think we must trust Ashmit. Usne jo location diya hai, aap ko pata hai wahan hum nahi jaa sakte. " Kabir said.
Sidharth sat on his chair, looking outside the window. "Isiliye wohi sahi location hai. Agostino Mattieo must be hiding in the place where Sidharth Raichand can't go that easily."
"Baba, aap sahi hai par woh basti Shamshudin ke under mein padta hai. We can't go in there just like that. "
He turned to face him., "There's a fair going on, at the open field in the area. Tomorrow, a popular Bollywood actor will perform for them. Everyone including the police will be busy."

"Do you think Agostino Mattieo is important enough to take this risk?" Kabir said after listening to Sidharth.
" Salvatore's men can catch Giovani through Mattieo."
"Peter, send a few people there." Kabir instructed.
Sidharth shook his head, "I can't let my men into this risk all alone. I will go with them. Kabir chacha aap kuch nahi bolenge."
Peter immediately said, "Kabir bhai, I will be with him."

They walked through a narrow pathway towards the three storey lodge. The sounds of a popular Bollywood song came from the nearby field. The place looked deserted. They climbed the stairs to reach the door where Mattieo was supposed to be hiding. Sidharth kicked open the door and went inside.
"Sidharth Raichand, good to see you again."
Sidharth saw the bald heavily built man sitting on a chair. The sleeves of his jacket had been rolled up and the tattoo of skull and the snake could be seen. There were a few men standing behind him with guns in their hands. Peter and his men drew their guns at them instantly.
"David."
"Yes. Sorry to disappoint you. Mattieo is not here. "

"This scene looks like a movie, isn't it? Two parties pointing guns at each other. Kaun kisko marega? Hun?" David laughed.
"One hero like yourself and a villain like me. But this movie won't end with good winning over bad. You know I feel Ravan was the number one villain but he lost not because Ram was more powerful than him but because he had ghar ka bhedi Bibhisan. You might be Ram but this Raavan won't make the mistake of letting Bibhisan stab him from behind."

Two men came out holding Ashmit by his arms. His mouth was taped and his hands tied behind his back. He was thrown at David's feet who pulled him up by his hair.
"This b****** tried to stab me on my back. H*******! I didn't know he was my own brother's blood. He was a cheater, his son is the same. Tu meri kahani ka Bibhisan hai. Isiliye main tere ko aaj khatam karunga."
"David, teri dushmani mere se hai. Let him go." Sidharth hollered.
Ashmit for once stole a glance at him. David stood up, pulling Ashmit along with him. "Dushman tu bhi hai aur ab yeh bhi. Dono hi khatam honge."

He pulled his gun and pointed at David. Before he could fire David pushed Ashmit towards him. Sidharth grabbed him, preventing a fall and his gun slipped out of his hands. And at the very instant David fired at Ashmit. His blood splattered on his shirt. Firing between the men started. Sidharth held Ashmit in his arms and he removed the tape from his mouth.
"I.. am.. sorry.. for.."
Before Ashmit could complete Sidharth was pulled away by Peter. He realized now what was going on. He could hear the police siren and looked around. David was nowhere in sight.
"Boss, we need to go."
Sidharth lifted Ashmit over his shoulder and took him to the car. He put him inside and turned to Peter, who could no longer have the strength to get inside the car. His face was flushed and Sidharth noticed the blood on his abdomen. He recalled the moment when one of David's men had fired at him. Peter saved him by standing between him and the bullet.

"I am sorry.. I am sorry.." Sidharth keeps mumbling as Shehnaaz makes him sit down on the bed after he had shared the details of the night.
"Sit and drink some water." She says to him.
He stands up, runs his fingers through his hair. "No, I... I need to go..I have to go now. Peter is.. hurt. And Ashmit. It's all my fault. My.."
Shehnaaz asks, going near him, "First stop blaming yourself for everything. This is a war and you knew there would be casualties. Why are you blaming yourself?"
He stares into her eyes, "Do you want to come with me? Yes. You must."
"Why do you want me to come with you? Ashmit ke liye?"
"He is in a coma. He was your friend. You were supposed to marry him."
She stands in front of him. "Yes. He was my friend and what I was supposed to do was a mistake."
He stays silent.
"I will go with you to the hospital but only to say thank you to Peter. He saved your life. I don't care if Ashmit is in a coma. I don't care."
