Uljhe Hue.

Chapter 21

"TOO MUCH TO HANDLE"

Both of them inform Vikram and Mishka that they have work.

Anil arranges a chopper.

In the plane.

Mallika is looking out of the window. Sumedh is sitting in front of her and looking at her.
She notices him.

Mallika:
Kya dekh rahe ho?
Sumedh:
Boobs.
Mallika:
What?!
Sumedh:
Come on, Mallika, tumhari taraf dekh bhi nahi sakta kya.
Mallika:
Nahi dekh sakte!

She looks at the window again.

Sumedh:
Window ke bahar badal takk nahi hai Major! Dekh kya rahi ho tum?
Mallika:
Toh kya karu? Dil nahi lag raha mera.
Sumedh:
Mujhse hi laga lo dil.
Mallika:
Kuch kaha tumne?
Sumedh:
Maine kaha mera bhi dil nahi lag raha! Baat hi karlete hai!
Mallika:
Kya baat karni hai?

Sumedh gets serious. He leans forward

Sumedh:
Mallika, tumne apni maa ko Vikram sir ke zinda hone ke baare mein kyun nahi bataya?

Mallika gets serious.

Mallika:
Umm...Ja...Jarurat nahi hai.
Sumedh:
The answer doesn't convince me at all.
Mallika:
Kya kehna chahte ho tum?
Sumedh:
Sach kaho Mallika, tumhe  Vikram Sir par bharosa nahi hai. Tum nahi maanti ki woh itne sacrifice kar sakte hai sirf apne desh keliye. Kyunki tum yeh jaanti ho ki woh Vikram Singh jinhone apne hi saathi ka murder kiya tha sirf isiliye kyunki dushman admi ne unhe apni family photo dikhayi.

Mallika was in shock.

Mallika:
Tum yeh sab kaise jante ho??
Sumedh:
I have my sources. Tumhare parents ke beech the...Right?
Mallika:
Right...
Sumedh:
Woh issiliye tha kyunki tumhare dad humesha uski side ki family ko importance dete the aur tumhari mom aur tumhe nahi.
Mallika:
Yes.

Sumedh leaned more.

Sumedh:
Mallika, DON'T TRUST YOUR FATHER. I know tumhara plan ye hai ki tum India mein raho and phir aunty aur Sir ko London shift karo. Don't do this.
Mallika:
Sumedh, please clearly batao. Mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha.
Sumedh:
HE DIDN'T WANT TO KILL JOSHI BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION. HE WANTED TO KILL JOSHI BECAUSE OF....HIS ELDER SISTER. MANISHA SINGH JOSHI. REMEMBER HER?

Mallika was taken aback tottaly. She had very few memories of her.

Mallika:
Manisha Bua?
Sumedh:
Yes.
Mallika:
She...she died when I was 3. I..I don't remember much.
Sumedh:
JOSHI KILLED HER. They had a love marriage. Inter-caste marriage. She caught Joshi taking bribes several times and tab tumhare dad bohot high position pe the. He could destory Joshi. So before Manisha could talk to Vikram sir, Joshi killed her.  When Vikram found the right time, he didn't everything he could do to defeat Joshi...but he lost. WOH TUMSE DURR DESH KELIYE NAHI...APNI BEHEN KI MAUTH KA BADLA LENE KELIYE GAYE THE, MALLIKA.

She didn't have any words. Before she could react, they reaches Mumbai. Sumedh didn't break the eye contact with her. She got up from her seat. Her head span round because of the information, the travel, climate change and She left the control over her body.
She was about to fall down but Sumedh held her hand and pulled her towards him. The chopper gave a jerk and Mallika fell on Sumedh.

Sumedh:
Mallika! Dheere!

She was on top of him barely understanding anything. There was silence between them. She slowly came back to senses. His hands were on her waist. She got up. He got up too.
They got down. Directly reached hotel without talking anything.
While going their own room, Sumedh held Mallika's hand and she turned back.

Sumedh:
Hey Major!
Mallika:
Huh?
Sumedh:
Major, You can deal with this! You are strong enough.
Mallika:
No I am not.

She said not letting tears escape her eyes.

Sumedh:
You are Mallika.
Mallika:
Sumedh...Meri life ke woh jinpe maine sabse jyaada trust kiya...unhone mujhe itna bura dhoka diya. Aur ek baar nahi...kai baar...Kaise? Kaise strong rahu?

Her voice cracked and tears escaped her eyes. Sumedh immediately pulled her into a hug and she rested her head on his chest willingly.

Mallika:
Tumhe sab pata tha Sumedh! Tumne mujhse...Mujhe sab chupaya! Sabse jyaada sheekve mujhse tumse hai! Kyunki...KYUNKI SABSE JYAADA PYAAR BHI TUMSE HI KIYA THA NAA! Yeh mission hone ke baad tum chale jao mujhse durr aur kabhi matt aana wapas! Kyunki main ab tumse nafrat nahi karna chahti, aur tum mere samne rahe toh tumhara dhoka humesha yaad aata rahega!
Sumedh:
Mallika....Shannt hojao...shushh...

Sumedh calmed her down and she went in her room. She directly went to sleep. Sumedh was in his own zone...thinking about Mallika.
