Robbed My Heart (5.2)

It was late at night. Sana came out of her room with a bag full of money. She looked here and there to make sure that nobody was watching her. Then she left the den silently.

But there was someone who was still awake and noticing her from his room.

"Sana adhi raat ko haath mein bag leke kaha jaa rahi hai? Lagta hai koi jhol hai. Paata lagana padega." Thought Sid. He also left his room and started following her.

After sometime...

Sana reached a slum as well as Sid, but she was totally unaware of it.

Suddenly Sana stopped walking and called someone. Within a few minutes, an old man came there.

Sana handed him the bag and said, "Kaka, yeh raha aap sab ka hissa. Maaf karna iss baar zyada nahi laa paayi. Lekin kuch din ke andar bohut saara paisa aane wala hai. Tab pure do teen bags bhar ke laaungi. Filhaal jitna bhi hai, basti ke logo mein baat dena. Aur haan, sab ko barabar ka hissa milna chahiye."

"Dhanyawad Beta. Tum nahi hoti toh paata nahi hum sabka kya hota. Kabhi Devi Maa ko saamne se nahi dekha hai lekin humare liye tum hi humari Devi Maa ho." Said the old man with teary eyes.

"Kya Kaka? Main Devi Maa nahi hai. Bas mere se jitna ho sakta hai, main aap sab ki help karti hai aur aage bhi karegi."

Sid was surprised seeing this. She came to help these people of slum with that money which she got from robbery. A sudden respect grew inside him for her seeing it. He never expected that this rude, stubborn girl could have heart too. He smiled looking at her. Then suddenly he got an idea.

When Sana was returning, he appeared in front of her. Sana became shocked seeing him.

"T...t...tu y...yaaha..." She stammered.

"Toh Mustafa Bhai jo loot ka maal tere hifazat mein rakhte hai, tu unn hi paiso mein se kuch hissa inn gareebon mein baant rahi hai. Yaar mere ko toh lagta tha tu kuch aur ho na ho, bharose ke kaabil hai. Par tu toh woh bhi nahi hai. Kya kehti hai? Baata doon Mustafa Bhai ko?"

Sana got scared hearing Sid but didn't show it on face.

"Kya chahiye tere ko? Kyu mere mamle mein dakhal de raha hai?" She asked angrily.

"Mere ko bas ek hi chiz chahiye. Sunday ke plan ki lead. Ek baar tu uske liye maan jaa, main kabhi tere mamle mein dakhal nahi dunga. Lekin agar tu nahi maani... Toh na chahte hue bhi mere ko Mustafa Bhai ko sab kuch kehna padega. Ab tu hi baata, kya karu main?"

Sana became quiet for sometime. If Mustafa Bhai got to know about this, she would be in big trouble.

"Kar lena lead. Main kar lungi bakiyon ki tarah tere ko follow. Khush? Ab please aap na muh band rakhna."

Saying that she was about to leave when Sid said, "Ek baat kahu?"

Sana looked at him.

"Yeh jo kaam tu kar rahi hai, bohut accha kaam kar rahi hai. Main isko le ke tere ko blackmail nahi karna chahta tha, par kya karu? Tu seedhe seedhe maanti bhi toh nahi hai. Aur rahi baat mere ko follow karne ki toh uski koi zaroorat. Hum saath mein bhi kaam kar sakte hai."

Sana smiled hearing that and said, "Ek baat main bhi kahu? Tu humare jitna hi kamina hai, sayad humse bhi zyada. Iss chori mein maza aayega."

On Sunday....

Total five people went to the exhibition of the idol including Sid, Sana and Jeet. They all were wearing casual cloths and masks. They were standing at a far distance and talking to each other through earphones.

"Exhibition suru hone mein sirf 10 minutes baki hai. Sab ko apna apna kaam yaad hai na?" Asked Sid in a low voice to which everybody said yes.

"Sabse pehle Jeet control room ki taraf jaayega. Phir idhar jaise hi Seth Sahab apne fingerprint se exhibition room ke darwaje ko kholenge, Jagga aur Raghu kisi ka purse chura lena jis se police aur Seth Sahab dono distract hoke darwaje ke saamne se hatt jaye. Phir main Jeet ko ishara dunga aur woh main switch off kar dega. Uss waqt hum sab apna apna night vision goggle pehen lenge. Phir Sana exhibition room mein jaa ke murthi chura legi aur mujhe de degi. Main usse apne jacket ke andar chhupa lunga aur generator on hone tak hum sab yaaha se bhag jaayenge."
