Author's POV
7 days more passed!!
The news of case reopening ran like the wind all over Lucknow.
The mastermind behind the blast were to alerted.
Anubhav was right they were still cautious at every step of them even though the incident had happened months back.
To be safe Anubhav and Santosh had not contacted Chakorgao as they had no idea about the criminal's plan.
Anubhav & Santosh were at MPT investigating.
The last 7 days they didn't do any movement in the case just to irritate the criminal.
They were asking each & every shop if anybody knew anything.

" Yaha pein koi CCTV bhi nhi hai..." Santosh sadly said.
" Hota bhi toh...woh thodi usse rehna dete..." Anubhav said looking at the upward direction squinting his eyes due to the sun's heat.
" Chaliye thodi der visharam karte hai...dhup bohot hai...Kya pata aap kali pad gyi toh sab hume daatenge...'' Anubhav said to Santosh and she giggled.
" Sir aap tension matt lijiye maine bhar bhar ke sunscreen lagaya hai...chahe toh kalse aapko bhi de dungi...nai toh madam sir hume daatengi ki humne unke Anu ko kal bana diya..." Santosh said.
" Kehne ke liye Haseenaji jeevit toh honi chahiye..." Anubhav turned the tables as he noticed someone's stare at him.
" I am sorry..." Santosh too acted.
Refreshing their mind with two cups of badnaam special the,the duo started their work again.
" Arre bhaisahab aap...!!" The same panipuri guy stopped Anubhav.
" Kya haal chaal ..." Anubhav approached towards him.
" Kya uss ek dinn hi aaye aap...phir ka nafrat hogayi chat se..." The man said.
" Nai nai...chat se kaun nafrat karega...wo bas kaam mein vyast hogaye..." Anubhav said.
" Waise...un madam ke thane ke saath bohot bura hua...bohot khyaal rakhti thi...hum thele walo ka..." The man sadly said.
" Ussi ki tehkikaat karne aaye hum...jald uss apradhi ko pakad lenge..." Anubhav said.
" Aap jante hai uss ghatna ke baare mein kuch bhi..." Anubhav questioned.
" Hum kya janenge...Bas akbaar se pata chala..." The man said.
" Koi nai...abhi khila dijiye do plate golgappe.." Anubhav said rubbing his hands in excitement.
" Khayengi na aap santosh..." Anubhav asked.
" Sir golgappe ko koi mana bhi kar sakta hai kya..." Santosh agreed.
" Sach kahe...aapki aur Haseena madam ki bohot acchi jodi lagti thi...tha kya kuch aap dono ke beech...?" The man asked boldly.
" Aisa hi kuch samaj lijiye " Anubhav said putting a golgappa in his mouth.
" Boss...ye aadmi toh golgappa khane lag gaya..." A man roaming on the street same as Anubhav and Santosh informed his boss.
