Arjun stirred & slowly opened his eyes, trying to adjust to the light of the room. He can see doctor checking his pulse & also he can feel someone caressing his forehead. He looked towards the person. It is Bonnie, with a worried look on her face. Arjun sighed & closed his eyes. He can heard doctor asking him. " How are you feeling Arjun? He only nodded his head. After sometime, he opened his eyes & tried to get up. He winced in pain but still sat up on the bed. He is without his shirt. He looked at his wound which is now bandaged. "Arjun, Rajat rushed inside the room. He is also looking worried. "You all right? Oh My God. We are team Arjun. Why the hell did you alone took the risk?... Rajat stopped noticing Arjun's cold look on him.
Arjun ( in a low yet strong voice)- Because I am the Boss. What are you doing here now? I told you to raid Khanna's Godown & search each & every corner for any clue. So, how dare you to disobey my order?
Rajat ( fumbled)- I was worried...
Arjun- Do your duty. I want complete report soon.
Rajat left without any words. Now Arjun looked towards Bonnie.
Arjun- Do you able to track Parmeet?
Bonnie- I told naa, His mobile is out of Network coverage area.
Arjun looked at her. He noticed her eyes glued on his naked body. Arjun bites his lips to control his anger.
Arjun- What about Samrat Khanna?
Bonnie ( Surprised)- I thought you were not in your senses then. Bad News AM, Samrat Khanna is no more.
Arjun went blank. He failed to think anything at the moment.
Arjun ( after minutes of silence)- How?
Bonnie- in Accident.
Hearing her answer, Arjun looked at her for sometime without blinking. This time, he stood up from the bed but again he felt a sharp pain on his abdomen & numbness. He sat on the bed holding his head.
The Doctor- What are you trying to do Arjun? Thankfully, no ligaments torn, but you can't ignore the wound & also you lost lots of blood. That's why, you are feeling this weakness.
Arjun- Give me some pain killer medicine. I just can't rest at least in this time.
The Doctor- But you need complete rest.
Arjun- I am not in the mood to repeat my words again & again. Give me some pain killer medicine & get lost. I am fine.
Bonnie (tried to interrupt)- AM, you need rest. Your injury...
Arjun- SHUT UP Bonnie.
Bonnie stopped immediately. Arjun stood up from the bed ignoring all pains. He went towards washroom & splashed cold water on his face & back of his neck. He came out. The Doctor came near him with an Injection in his hand.
Arjun- Hope it is not any Anesthetics.
The Doctor ( with a smile)- trust me Officer, this medicine will only reduce your pain. So, relax & remember, you need to change this bandage after few hours.
Arjun nodded his head. The Doctor gave him the Injection in his left arm. He then checked his mobile. So many missed call from Samaira? Definitely, she must got the news of Samrat's death. Arjun did not call back. He entered in his cabin. First, he checked his bag, took out the pen drive in which he copied information from the computer in Store Room of Khanna Industries, placed it in his drawer & securely locked it. He also took out an extra set of clothes & went towards washroom to change. He glared at Bonnie who is standing outside his cabin.
