Malik enterprises:-The sleek glass doors of Malik Enterprises slid open, revealing Ahaan's office. The spacious room exuded power and sophistication, with polished marble floors and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline. Ahaan's desk, a masterpiece of modern design, at the center, commanding attention.
As Ahaan stormed in, his employees' heads snapped up, their faces tense with anticipation. The air was thick with unease.
His team exchanged nervous glances, sensing the gravity of the situation. Some hovered near the door, unsure whether to approach or retreat.
Ahaan's gaze swept the room, his eyes locking onto his head of security, Mirza.
"Mirza, what do we know?" he demanded, his voice low and urgent.
The tension was palpable, like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. The employees of Malik Enterprise held their collective breath, aware that their boss's calm exterior hid a storm brewing beneath.
Two weeks before:
Ahaan went to pick up Umer from his college. As he arrived, he spotted his ex-employee, Rashid, waiting outside the college gates. Ahaan's eyes narrowed as he remembered the reason he had fired Rashid. & he was supposed to be in jail. The former employee had betrayed Ahaan's trust by selling sensitive information to rival companies, leading to his termination and a jail sentence.
Ahaan's gaze intensified as he watched Rashid approach Umer. But as soon as Rashid noticed Ahaan, he quickly turned and ran off. Ahaan's instincts screamed warning, He quickly got out of his car and rushed to Umer's side, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threats.
He dragged Umer to his car
"Bhaiya, kya hua?" Umer asked, noticing his brother's tense expression.
"Get in the car, Umer," Ahaan replied, his voice firm and urgent. "Now."
Umer was confused, but Ahaan's tone indicated no argument. He quickly obeyed, and Ahaan eyes scanned the area for any sign of Rashid. As they drove away, Ahaan's mind raced with worst-case scenarios. He couldn't shake off the feeling that Rashid's presence was more than just a coincidence.
He called his head of security, Mirza.
"Mirza, I need you to investigate Rashid. He's been following Umer in his campus," Ahaan said, his voice low and urgent.
Mirza's expression turned serious. "I'll dig up whatever I can, sir."
Days passed, and Mirza reported back. "Sir, Rashid's been gathering information on Umer. He knows his schedule, his friends... everything."
Ahaan's grip on his phone tightened. "Increase security around Umer. I won't let anything happen to him."
Mirza nodded. "Already on it, sir."
Ahaan's mind raced with worst-case scenarios. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Umer was his responsibility, and he couldn't fail him.
"Mirza, keep me updated. I want to know everything Rashid does."
Mirza's voice was reassuring. "I've got this, sir. We'll keep Umer safe."
He wouldn't let anyone harm his brother. Not on his watch.
Present in Ahaan's cabin
Ahaan: "Mirza, what do we know about Rashid's motives?"
Mirza: "Not much, sir. But it's clear he's obsessed with Umer."
Ahaan: "Obsessed? What do you mean?"
Mirza: "He's been tracking Umer's every move. He knows his favorite foods, his friends... everything."
Ahaan: "This is getting creepier by the minute. I want you to dig deeper."
Mirza: "Already on it, sir."
Ahaan: "Keep me posted. I won't let anything happen to Umer."
Ahaan returned home exhausted from a long day. As he entered the living room, he saw Umer sleeping on couch surrounded by his books. He ruffled Umer's hairs, loving the peaceful face of his little brother who was no longer little.
As he turned to head to a shower, he noticed Umer almost falling from couch. He went near him and gently shook Umer's shoulder "Umer utho".
Umer opened his eyes, rubbing his temples."Kya time horaha hai" He mumbled.
"6 baj rahe hai kitni baar kaha hai time se soya karo ab raat bhar jaagoge, jao fresh hokar aao baat krni hai" Ahaan replied, his expression turned serious as he sat beside umer
Umer looked towards his bhaiya, sensing his seriousness, "Sab thik bhaiya?" He asked worried
"Go, Umer fresh hokar aao fir baat karenge"
Umer quickly came down and sat beside Ahaan, who was sipping his coffee.
"I've increased your security," Ahaan announced.
Umer's eyes widened in protest. "Kya?? No, no, no, Bhaiya! You promised to fire Mehmood, but instead, aap security badha rahe ho? This isn't right!" he whined.
Ahaan's expression turned stern, he raised his eyebrows.
"Am I supposed to take your permission?!" he asked, his tone firm.
"Mera ex-employee Rashid tumhe stalk kar raha hai and you're in danger. I'm warning you, don't go anywhere without security!"
Umer mumbled under his breath, but loud enough for Ahaan to hear,
"Kidnap thodi karega bohut se bohut he'll rob me, aur mere paas to phone ke alawa aur kuch nahi rehta.."
Ahaan's jaw clenched.
"This isn't a joke, Umer! Your safety is at risk, and I won't compromise on that!"
Umer looked down. "Sorry, Bhaiya..."
Ahaan's expression softened slightly, but his tone remained firm.
"Just remember, your security is non-negotiable. I won't let anything happen to you, Umer."
But back of his mind, umer was afraid, afraid of getting caught by Ahaan as he was planning for a late night party in outskirts which his brother would never allow. He thought it would be easy to sneak out and avoid mehmood. But his brother's warning echoed in his mind, but Umer being umer he loves adventures and he loves doing things he has been told not to.
"Yeh hitler ko pata chala ki maine security breach ki aur outskirts gaya to jaan lelenge meri"
"Magar unhe bataega koun?? Kya bakwas kar raha hu main unhe to mai din me kitni baar saans leta hu yeh bhi pata hota hai" He speaked to himself
"I will be fine, I'll be careful," he tried to convince himself.
