"58. The planned Attack"

"Mohabbat lafzon ki mohtaaj nahi,
Aakhein toh khamoshi bhi
Padh leti hai,
Jo bayan na ho sake labon se,
Dhadkane vo bhi mehsus kar leti hai"

-Vaidehi

In a dimly lit warehouse located in a crowded chawl area, five to six rugged-looking men sat around an old wooden table, engaged in a game of carrom. Their rough expressions and intimidating demeanor made it clear that they were no ordinary men, they were goons. The sound of striker hits and occasional grunts of frustration filled the air as they played. Just then, the door creaked open, and Vijaypratap stepped inside, carrying a small bag in his hand. His sharp eyes scanned the room, and the men immediately paused their game, their attention shifting towards him.

Man: "Ohh Sahab, bahaut dino baad yaad kiya, aaj kal kisi pe hamla ya kisi ki jaan nahi lete kya aap??"
(Oh sir, you remembered me after so many days! Have you stopped attacking people or taking lives these days?)

Vijaypratap settled into one of the chairs, his movements calm yet deliberate. He placed the bag firmly on the carrom board, the sound echoing slightly in the tense atmosphere. The head of the goons narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Vijaypratap, trying to decipher his next move.

Man: "Pehle se zyada paise lagte hai, aisa kya kaam hai??"
(It costs more than before. What kind of work is this?)

Vijaypratap: "Rudraksh Malhotra"

Man: "Vo Asia ka sabse bada businessman??"
(The biggest businessman in Asia?)

Vijaypratap: "Haa vahi"
(Yes, him.)

Man: "Aisi bhi kya dushmani hai usse?? Jaha tak mujhe pata hai uska toh in sab cheezo se koi lena dena hi nahi, sidha sadha businessman hai."
(What kind of enmity do you have with him? As far as I know, he has nothing to do with these kinds of things—he's just a straightforward businessman.)

Vijaypratap: "Only if you know, Khair tumse jitna kaha ja raha hai vo karo."
(Only if you knew. Anyway, just do as you're told.)

Man: "Kaha karna hai uspe hamla??"
(Where do we need to attack him?)

Vijaypratap: "uspe nahi, uski biwi pe."
(Not him, his wife.)

Man: "Uski biwi bhi hai, thik hai kaha karna hai?"
(He has a wife too? Alright, where should we attack her?)

Vijaypratap: "Uske college ke bahar."
(Outside her college.)

Man: "Koi photo??"
(Do you have a photo?)

Vijaypratap: "Photo nahi hai, par main aaunga kal subah tum logo ke sath dikha dunga, aur phir college ke baad hamla karna hai... Par yaad rahe sirf darana hai, uski jaan nahi Jani chahiye, bahaut mehengi hai us ladki ki jaan."
(No photo, but I will come tomorrow morning and show you. The attack should be carried out after college... But remember, she must not die. That girl's life is very expensive.)

Man: "Itni mehengi hai toh hume kitne de rahe hai?? Is baar 1 crore se kaam nahi chalega."
(If she's that valuable, how much are you paying us? This time, 10 million won't be enough.)

Vijaypratap: "1.5 Crore hai aur baaki 1.5 crore kaam hone ke baad."
(15 million now, and another 15 million after the job is done.)

Man: "Thik hai."
(Alright.)

Vijaypratap stood up and left. As soon as he was out of sight, the men huddled together, their expressions turning serious as they began strategizing for the attack, their voices low and filled with determination.
