CheckMate Part 45

"How can you be so stupid?" An angry male voice barked at Dev on the other side of the phone.

Dev- I know what I did. It will not be harmful for our mission. In fact, from now, IPS Arjun Mehra will be more distracted regarding the safety of his wife than his work...

The Man (cutting the words of Dev)- Really? No fool. He is that much passionate about his work that he will give his 100% despite all odds. In Fact, now I am worried that he will find a way to reach you for your this foolish deed & you not even able to handle Samaira also.

Dev looked totally pissed off.

Dev- IPS Arjun Mehra will never able to catch me. Last time, I was not even aware of His presence. But this time, no chance.

The Man- Don't underestimate IPS Arjun Mehra & listen to me very carefully, I took you out from Intelligence Bureau's custody to complete my mission, not for taking your personal revenge. So, don't you dare to put my years of hard work in stake.

Arjun was impatiently pacing in the hospital corridor. Neil was standing in a corner & glaring at Arjun. The doctor came out from the cabin after doing the check up of Samaira. Arjun rushed towards him. "How is Samaira?"

Doctor- Relax Officer. Thankfully no broken bone injuries, but deep cuts & bruises. The result of beating.

Arjun clenched his fist.

Doctor- Proper rest & medicine, she will be absolutely fine. She wants to go home & I am discharging her. Take Care.

The Doctor smiled at him & left from there.

Arjun took a deep breath, he looked relieved. Neil came in front of him.

Neil- I am taking Samaira in my home.

Arjun- huh??

Neil- Mom & I will take good care of Samaira.

Arjun- I can take care of my wife. (looking irked)

Neil- yeah! I saw the way you took care of your wife. The Example of your responsibility! Now, please Arjun, spare her. She need proper care & I don't think you will able to take out time from your super busy schedule.

Arjun (looking angry)- That's none of your business Neil. You don't have to poke your nose in my personal matter. She is my wife. You leave it on me how am I going to take care of her & don't you heard what the Doctor said, she wants to go home, that's mean, my house & now our house. So, please Neil, enough! Don't waste my time in your useless talk.

Neil grabbed Arjun's collar now totally pissed off.

Neil- You are an useless irresponsible man. You are not at all worthy of Samaira.

Arjun (furious)- Who are you to decide that? You are no one just a mere friend. I don't care about your opinion & don't you dare.

Arjun pointed towards Neil's hand on his collar & jerked his hand away.

Neil- Your opinions also don't matter to me. I care for Samaira, she is a very important person of my life. You will never understand our bond of friendship. So, get lost IPS Arjun Mehra & you know what You are ominous in Samaira's life.

Arjun looked at Neil. There was a glint of sadness in his eyes. He quietly averted his eyes & went towards reception to complete the hospital formalities.

With the help of Arjun, Samaira sat on the bed. Finally, she is in her home, in her bedroom with Arjun. She felt secure. Arjun made her lie down on the bed & covered her up with a blanket. He tenderly stroked her cheeks. She is looking so weak. He wondered what all she had gone through.
