"Aap kaha le jaraho mujhe...mujhe unhe bachana hai...." Santosh said as the other person started the car.
" Pagal ho tum...waha aag dekhi haina...Jinda nhi bach paogi..." The person said.
" Na bacchu jinda...mere zindagi ka sabse khubsurat hissa hai wo log aise kaise marne chod du unhe...." Santosh again cried.
" Mujhe chodo..." Santosh said as the person stopped the car & took her to a room.
" Tum mujhe yaha kyu laayi ho....Kahi tumne ye sab nhi kiya..aur ab mujhe marna chahti ho...? " Santosh said being suspicious.
" Mujhe laga tum sudar gayi ho...madam sir ko bhi phasa liya....kyu madat ki unki...kyunki ye sab karna tha...." Santosh shouted.
"Yaar kitni bad bad karti hai tu...shaant hoja...maine kuch nhi kiya hai...Mai advocate Shivani Pawar hu ekbar sudar gyi toh phir nhi bigdegi...कळालं ..?" The person,the saviour was non other than Shivani said.
"Toh mujhe yaha kyu laayi ho...? " Santosh asked.
"Waha uss खोली mein jaake dekhle " Shivani said pointing towards a room.
Writer's POV
As Santosh approached towards the room the view made her happy for a second but sad the next moment.
The five patriots lying on a bed with ample of machines attached to their body and doctors examining them.
Santosh's eyes welled up seeing her near & dear one's condition also why wouldn't the people who were always had a charming aura were now on the bed lifeless.
Santosh tried to get in but failed as the doorkeeper stopped her.
Shivani came and took her back in the hall." Ab hua vishwaas ki mein sach mein sudar gyi hu...Ab toh shaant hoja..kabse roye jarahi hai...Mujhe kaisa toh horaha hai dekh ke..." Shivani said while her hands on Santosh's shoulders.
" Thank you....aap janti nhi hai...Kitna accha kaam kiya hai aapne..." Saying so she hugged Shivani.
" Tera pariwaar hai janti hu...par mera bhi pariwaar hai wo...kya kuch nhi kiya hai un sabne mere liye..." Shivani said remembering moments spent with MPT as well as caressing Santosh's hairs lovingly.
" Par ye sab kiya kisne...? " Santosh said breaking the hug.
" Woh toh jab ye log thik hojayenge tab hi pata lagega..." Shivani said wiping own's tears.
" Aur sorry...wo mein jyaada bol gyi aapko...kuch samaj nhi aaraha tha isiliye..." Santosh expressed her guilt.
" Aree koi वांदा nhi re...mai jaanti hu tujh pe kya bit rahi hai...Isiliye kuch nhi boli nhi toh Ye shivani khud ke baare mein bura kabhi sunke nhi leti..." Shivani said smiling.
" Chal 5 ghante travel kar aayi hai...bhook lagi hogi..mai kuch laati hu khane ke liye..." Shivani said getting up.
" Waise hum kaha hai iss wakt...lucknow toh nhi hai ye..." Santosh asked looking outside the window.
" Lucknow nhi hai ye...ye mera गाव hai...." Shivani said smiling.
" Chakorgao mein hai hum..Uttar pardesh se bohot dur....Maharashtra mein..." Shivani said.
" Yaha hum tak koi nhi pohoch payega..." Shivani said to Santosh.
" Mai khana laati hu..." Shivani went.
Writers POV
~ Chakorgao ~
(Fictional)In the lap of Maharastra there was village named Chakoragao
A village full of positive aura.
Known as the moon's favourite place.
Hence the villagers named it on the name of the bird Chakora.
Chakora, a bird which lives its life by feeding upon the moon's beams.
The village had greenery all over. Birds chirping on trees radiating positive energy leaving no place for negative energy. The people here were always happy & laughing. These people too had their problems but the energy here gave them the strength to solve the problems laughing all the way.
The village also symbolized love & longing.
-------" Waise ye ghar kiska hai" Santosh asked.
" Ye mere आजी -आजोबा ka वाडा
hai....6 saal hogaye unhe guzare hue....par jab bhi yaha aati hu bohot sukoon mehsoos hota hai..." Shivani said getting lost in her past." Sach mein bohot shaanti hai yaha..." Santosh said.
Writers POV

The house was moderately big giving olden good vibes
At the centre there was ground known as "आंगण " where kids or elder would spend there evenings happily.
Also a tulsi vrindavan situated in center
Further there were rooms not as posh as any 5 star hotel but more than comfortable.
---" Wo sab log thik hojayenge na...?" Santosh asked.
" Tu chinta mat kar iss gao ki hawa itni acchi ki koi yaha jyaada der bimaar nhi reh payenga..." Shivani said calming Santosh down.
" Hume ye case unofficially solve karna hoga..." Shivani said.
" Woh toh hai...par hum dono kaafi thodi honge...aur bhi koi chahiye hume..." Santosh spoke.
" Maine binni ko toh bula liya hai... Magar police department mein se koi kaise aayega...? Hume secretly mission solve karna hai...." Shivani said being tensed.
" Mai doh insaano ko jaanti hu...aur mujhe yakeen hai...wo log madad karange..." Santosh said confidently.
" Toh bula lo......aur yaad rakhna kisi ko bhi khabar nhi honi chahiye...." Shivani warned.
" Aap chinta matt kijiye...kisi ko kuch pata nhi chalega..." Santosh said firmly.
