Understanding the meaning of Love with MaAn

Spy Mission

Previously: 

Glasses clinked, the evening moved with music and laughter... but slowly, a shadow crept into Anuj and Anupamaa's hearts.
They noticed something strange.
Anupamaa (frowning, scanning the crowd):
"Anuj... Anurag aur Toshu kahan hai? Mujhe toh dikh nahi rahe..."
Anuj, scanning the crowd as well, grew uneasy.
"Haan... woh dono abhi yahin the. Ab kahan chale gaye...?"
The music played on, people laughed, the event shimmered brightly. But behind the sparkling lights, another story had already begun.

------------------------------------------

Anuj and Anupamaa did search for both of them.. but Samar and Pakhi pulled them home...

The rain has slowed, but the atmosphere is thick with worry. Anupamaa sits in the passenger seat, Kanhaji's feather still clutched in her hand. Her face is pale, eyes restless, scanning every corner of the road. Anuj grips the steering wheel tightly, his jaw clenched, eyes darting to his phone every few seconds.

Anupamaa (voice trembling): "Un dono ne phone kyu nahi uthaya, Anuj... kahin kuch ho toh nahi gaya?"

Anuj (forcing calm, but tense): "Nahi... kuch nahi hoga. Main hoon na... par phir bhi... Toshu aur Anurag, ek saath waha se jana... mujhe sahi nahi lag raha."

He dials Toshu's number. The phone rings endlessly, no response. He immediately tries Anurag. Same outcome. His knuckles whiten as he grips the phone.

Anuj (muttering): "Pick up, bachcha... please, bas ek baar utha le."

Anupamaa shuts her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. Her fingers dig into the feather, like holding onto divine reassurance.

Anupamaa (almost a whisper): "Kanhaa... dhyaan rakhjooo. Bas un dono ko surakshit laa dijiye."

They had barely stepped inside the house. Anuj was reaching for his phone, already certain that if he didn't know Anargya, she would —after all, she had always been his best friend, never one to stay silent.

But before his fingers could even unlock the screen, the door flung open. Toshu came running in, breathless, as though he had been sprinting for miles. His face was pale, eyes wild with fear, sweat dripping down his temples.

In his trembling hands, he clutched his phone outstretched, as if it carried the weight of something unbearable.

Without a moment's pause, his fear twisted into rage. He lashed out, words cutting like knives—blaming, accusing, hurling insults at Anuj and Anupamaa.

Toshu (furious, voice breaking): "Hamesha mujhe sunaate ho na? Main best beta nahi hoon... par aapko toh yeh bhi nahi pata tha ke Anurag kya chhupa raha tha aapse! Tum dono ko toh kuch dikhai hi nahi deta!"

Anupamaa and Anuj exchanged a stunned glance, their hearts sinking. They tried to calm him, to defend Anurag, to shield him from Toshu's venom.

But behind Toshu's anger, a darker storm was brewing—one tied to the secrets Anurag had kept hidden.

Toshu's voice shook with anger as he turned toward Samar, pointing a trembling finger.

Toshu (spitting out the words): "Dekh Samar... tumhara perfect little bhai, Anurag... bohot danger aadmi hai. Door reh usse... tu bhi, Pakhi! Aur Kinjal... hum yahan nahi rahenge. Hum apne rented ghar mein chale jaayenge. Mujhe iss ghar mein ek pal bhi nahi rehna... kya pata aur kya kya chhupaya gaya hai. Hey Bhagwan... mummy aa rahi hongi... toh abhi uthh ke chalti hai! Mummy, chaliye... in ameer aadmiyon se door rahiye aap. Waisa bhi... woh inka hi beta hai na? Agar woh sher hai, toh yeh savasher honge!"
