Sumedh and Aarushi were visiting every single hospital on their list, they found some girls that, according to them, were related to the case. They took their photographs and sent them to Sameeksha.
Aarushi was walking out of the last hospital they visited, "bhook lagi hai?" Sumedh asked seeing her tired face. She shook her head, "nhi nhi" She said.
"Tumhe na lagi ho, me to bhuka hu" He said, she chuckled. "Raat ho geyi hai, dinner hi karte hai" He suggested and they bought two pizzas from Domino's.
They sat in Sumedh's jeep and ate there.
"Aur tum keh rhi thi tumhe bhook nhi lagi" Sumedh smiled looking at her eating fastly.
She smiled, "suna hai tum Sameeksha Ma'am ko boht maanti hu" He said biting the slice of pizza.
"Sameeksha Ma'am meri role model hai, unke jese ban'na hai. Lekin aapko kese pata?" She asked, "Shetty Sir ne bataya" He said.
"Unko kese pata chala!?" She said, "woh Shetty Sir hai. Unko sab pata rehta hai. Sameeksha Ma'am unko IPS ki Chugli Aunty bulati hai" He said. Aarushi started laughing.
Suddenly they heard a gunshot which shattered the windshield in pieces. Sumedh placed his hand behind Aarushi neck and forced her to bend down. She tried to sit up straight, "nhi!" Sumedh stopped her, "aur chalengi" He said.
They looked into each other's eyes until another gunshot broke the silence. After that the gunshots were continuous for about a minute.
"Kitni magazines hai?" Sumedh asked, "do" She replied.
"What? Sirf do??" He asked shocked, "Aarushi do ka achaar dalenge kya?" He asked losing his cool. She kept quiet.
"Jab me engine on karu, tum cover fire start karna. Meri gun bhi lelo" He said. She nodded.
He took a deep breath and started the engine of the jeep. He signed her to start.
She started firing with both guns, they were firing back, "aahhh shitttt" Aarushi shouted, "Aarushi!!" Sumedh pulled her elbow and made her sit.
"Rukna mat" Aarushi said, "lagi nhi hai, pass se guzri bas" She said pressing the lateral side of her left upper arm.
"Aarushi khoon nikal raha hai" He said and speeded up.
He stopped when he felt they were safe.
"Dikhao" He said and placed his handkerchief on the wound, "thank God lagi nhi" He said and took her to the hospital.
*******
"Zada lagi hai?" Sameeksha asked when Sumedh told her about Aarushi, "nhi Ma'am, kaafi strong hai woh" He said looking at Aarushi.
"Usse ghar drop kardo aur waha ka address bhej do, me usse wahi mil lungi" She said.
She left as soon as she received Aarushi's address.
*******
Sameeksha rang the door bell as soon as she reached. Someone finally came and opened the door slightly.
It was a guy who was peeking through the door, "open the door damn it!" Sameeksha said opening the door forcefully.
She walked in without looking at that person.
"Arey! Kon hai aap?" He said holding her wrist, she turned to face him.
"Doctor hu, khaki pehn'ne ka shonk hai to pehen li" Sameeksha replied looking at Abhishek.
"By God tumhare dono haath tod dungi agar mera haath na choda" She warned him.
He immediately left her hand, "Aarushi Sharma ka ghar hai na yeh?" She asked, he nodded.
"Me ACP Sameeksha Sinha, Aarushi ki senior" She said looking around, "me Abhishek Sharma, Aarushi ka bhai" He said forwading his hand for a hand shake, "haan theek hai, theek hai" She ignored him.
"Aarushi kaha hai?" She asked, "aiye" Abhishek sighed and took her to Aarushi's room.
He opened the door, "after you" He said. She cocked her eyebrows and walked in the room.
"Ma'am...aap yaha..." Aarushi said trying to get up, "arey nhi, please, leti raho" Sameeksha said.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked, "better, thank you" Aarushi replied. "I'm proud of you. Pehle din hi tumne itni mushkil situation ko itna acche se sambhala, Sumedh bata raha tha tumhare bareme" She said, "thank you Ma'am" Aarushi said.
"Ma'am aapko iss waqt aane ki zarurat nhi thi, meri wajah se aapki neend kharab hui" Aarushi said, "tum meri team me ho, tumhara dhyaan rakhna mera kaam hai. Jaldi se theek ho jao ab, aur kisi cheez ki zarurat ho to mujhe call kar dena" Sameeksha said.
Aarushi smiled and nodded. "Chalti hu" Sameeksha said.
Abhishek was accompanying her to the entrance, "aane ke lie thank you, Aarushi ko accha laga" Abhishek said.
Sameeksha smiled, "no worries" She said.
She was about to leave when something came to her mind.
"Aap...vahi ho na jisne Manjot ke saath woh crime hote hue dekha?" She asked, "umm...yeah" Abhishek said scratching his head.
"Yaar tumhe sharam nhi aati? Tumhare dost ko police station ke chakkar lagane padh rahe hai, aur tum? Peeke talli the uss raat?" She asked.
"Ab party me sab peete hi hai na. Mujhe kya pata tha ham ek murder witness karne wale hai" He said. She rolled her eyes.
