MISSION PINK ROSE

Untitled Part 6 ONE MORE STEP

Janvi tries to ask Vikram what he is doing here. Vikram responds, "I'll explain later, but first, we need to leave. Someone might come, and we could get into trouble."

"But Vikram..." Janvi says in confusion.

Vikram holds her hand, pulls her closer, and takes her with him. For a moment, Janvi feels something for Vikram, but she is confused by her feelings. "But Vikram, listen to me," she insists.

"Shh... I'll explain later," Vikram says, still holding her hand. He takes her to the parking lot and makes her sit in his car, which looks strange inside, filled with monitors and recording devices. The backseat is packed with high-tech gadgets. Seeing this, Janvi becomes even more confused.

Vikram drives her to his flat, where she sees the entire setup: computers everywhere, making the room look like a spy's workspace. On the screens, she sees footage of Jindal's office, the lobby of the society building, M.S. Thapa's office, and other places. Janvi feels numb for a moment.

"Are you shocked?" Vikram asks. "You must be wondering who I am."

"Vikram, what is all this? Who are you, and what do you want from me and my family?"

"Before you say anything, watch this CCTV footage first," Vikram says, seating Janvi in front of a screen while he stands beside her.

The footage shows Raj running in a dockyard, chased by someone who eventually takes him to a tower, where Pravin Jindal and his men are waiting.

"Welcome, Raj," Pravin Jindal says.

"What do you want from me?" Raj asks.

"The pen drive with all the information about the shipping consignment," Pravin responds.

"What pen drive? I don't know what you're talking about," Raj says.

"The one you collected from my office, right under my nose," Pravin says angrily. "Tell me where it is!" he shouts at Raj.

"You'll never get it," Raj says. "I know what you're planning. You want to kill the army general."

Pravin slaps Raj. "Shut up, you bastard, or I'll kill you. Boys, show him what I mean."

Pravin's men start hitting Raj. Seeing this, Janvi starts crying. Vikram feels bad watching her cry and experiences a strange feeling he can't understand—he's falling for her. Her pain is his pain.

Meanwhile, in the footage, Raj, in pain, says, "I know about your illegal activities, you and Defense Minister Chandramohan shah . How you two are backstabbing India by selling army weapons to terrorists and making money from it. That's why you're planning to kill General M.S. Thapa, because he's not supporting you and plans to expose you. I've already sent the pen drive to him, and he'll reveal everything soon."

Hearing this, Pravin orders his men to throw Raj out of the window, and they comply. As Raj is thrown, Pravin mutters about how they now need to take care of Thapa because he knows everything.

Seeing Raj thrown from the window, Janvi hugs Vikram and bursts into uncontrollable tears. Vikram feels helpless.

After some time, Janvi collects herself and says, "You think I didn't know any of this?"

Vikram looks at her in surprise.

"That day in the office, I accidentally opened Raj's computer file. It was password-protected, but I cracked it. I heard voice recordings and found documents, which I transferred to my pen drive. I brought it home, but later I got scared for my children. I've already lost Raj; I can't risk their lives. So, I hid the pen drive in Yug's toy car. I knew what you were going to tell me, but I didn't know how brutally Raj died. Now I know."

Janvi continues to cry. Vikram stands still, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Goodbye," Janvi says, leaving his flat.

Later, Vikram sends an address to Jiya, Anand, and Rimi, asking them to meet him at his secret place, known only to him. The next day, everyone arrives, and Jiya and Anand are shocked to see Vikram alive. They hug him, saying, "We knew it! You can't die, you're a hero!"

Rimi arrives shortly after. Vikram asks everyone to sit around a round table. Jiya asks, "What's the matter? Why did you contact us after two years?"

Vikram says, "I have something to tell you. General Thapa was murdered."

"What? General Thapa was murdered?" Anand says in shock. "What?" Jiya exclaims. Both are taken aback.

Rimi, puzzled, says, "How can that be possible?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Anand asks.

"Not exactly, but I want to show you something." Vikram plays the same video he showed Janvi the previous night, the footage of Raj's murder.

"You can't prove from this video that Mr. Thapa was murdered," Anand says.

"Exactly," Rimi agrees, as she doesn't want to believe her father was murdered.

"I know Uncle, he was very fit says vikram.

" How do you know Vikram? These days, you never come to see us," says Rimi angrily.

"I may not come to meet you, but I was always checking on you," I replied vikram.

"I know it's hard to believe," Vikram says, "but it's true. I've been following you all this time. I didn't meet you, but I've always been there, watching over you. I followed Maa every Monday to the Shiv Mandir and stayed until she finished her pooja. I even went to the hospital when uncle had his monthly checkups. I reviewed all his reports—he was perfectly healthy. I was there at your engagement with Major Varun, too."

"I believe you, Vikram," Jiya says. "After hearing about your death, I started investigating people involved in 'Mission Pink Rose.' Major Rana was in contact with Pravin Jindal, Defense Minister Shah, and guess who else—Lieutenant General Ashok Verma."

"What? That's impossible!" Rimi exclaims. "Verma uncle was close to my father. I know he wouldn't betray him! And he's Varun's father!"

"I wish it wasn't true, but unfortunately, it is," Vikram says. "I need your help."

"Fine. What do you want me to do?" Rimi says. "Not because I believe you, but because I want to prove you wrong."

"I need you to plant listening devices and hidden cameras in Verma's office," Vikram explains.

"But how? It's difficult," Rimi says.

"I have a plan," Vikram replies. "You and Varun are planning to renovate your room for the wedding, right?"

"How do you know that?" Rimi stares at him suspiciously.

Vikram and Jiya exchange smiles, while Anand looks puzzled.

"Take Anand to Varun's house, pretending he's an interior designer. Use this opportunity to plant the devices," Vikram says.

"Alright," Rimi agrees.

Meanwhile, Jiya, you will tap the phones of Pravin, Shah, Rana, and Verma," Vikram adds.

"Okay," Jiya says.

"And what will you do?" Rimi asks.

"I have bigger things to handle," Vikram replies confidently.

With that, everyone leaves to prepare for their mission.
