ARJUN: Aree vo Saki hai… jaldi uthegi toh suraj ulti disha se nikal aayega… uske timing ke hisab se abhi uske uthne mein adha ghanta baaki hai…

ARJUN: Nahi bhaiya
SAMEER: Me tumhe bohat acche se janta hoon…agar iss baar tune usko pareshan kiya toh me tumhe chodunga nahi
ARJUN: Me aisa kuch nahi karunga… aap ke bhai pe vishawas nahi hai aap ko?
SAMEER: Vishwas hai iss liye bol raha hoon
Which makes Arjun pout cutely.
SAMEER: Ab muh mat bana… jaa Saki ko uthade…
Arjun nods and headed towards Sakshi’s room. He slowly open the door and enter in room. Sakshi is sleeping peacefully and looking so adorable. Arjun sits on floor near bed and hold Sakshi’s hand. With other hand he remove the hair strands which coming on her face. For a moment he keep looking at her angelic face.
ARJUN: koi itna khoobsurat kaise ho sakta hai?
He lean towards her to wake up her. First he decided to wake up her sweetly but then naughty thought hits his mind and his smile turn into mischievous one. He lower his head and then shouted her name loudly in her ear which makes Sakshi jumped onto bed. Arjun stand straight and starts laughing. Sakshi who is scared look at him unbelievably. Seeing him laugh like a mad she throw pillow on his face.
SAKSHI: Rj ke bache… abhi tak nahi sudhre tum… aise kisi ko uthate hai kya?
ARJUN: Tere jaisi kumbhkarni ko aise hi uthate hai
Sakshi get up from bed angrily.
SAKSHI: Rj mujhe phir se khumbhkarni bola…ruko…
Arjun run out from the room and Sakshi follow him just like their childhood. Both reached in living room. Sakshi hold the pillows from sofa and starts throwing it on Arjun.
SAKSHI: Rj ruk jaauo warna
ARJUN: Warna kya haan?
He run towards kitchen and Sakshi follow him. Sameer see them.
SAMEER: Kya ho raha hai yeh?
Arjun quickly hide behind Sameer.
ARJUN: Bhaiya aap ki princess pagal ho gayi hai
Sakshi glared at him. She tries to catch him but Arjun again hide behind Sameer.
SAMEER: Princess kya hua?
Sakshi narrates everything and Sameer glared at Arjun.
SAMEER: Maine bola tha naa… pareshan mat karna
ARJUN: Maine kaha pareshan kiya bhai! Me toh bas usse utha raha tha
SAKSHI: Bhai usne kitni zor se mere kaan mein chillaya… me kitna darr gayi thi
Arjun laughs remembering her face which makes her angry. She try to catch him but he keep Sameer ahead so she can’t attack on him. Arakshi are running around Sameer trapping him in middle. Sameer try his best to calm them but they are not listening to him. Finally he shouted,
SAMEER: Stop both of you
Making them stop on their place.
SAMEER: Yeh kya hai subah subah… Princess jaauo jaake fresh ho jaauo aur Arjun tum bhi chup chap dining room mein jaake betho… bohat ho gayi tum dono ki masti
Arakshi nods. Before leaving Arjun tease Sakshi showing his tongue. Sakshi glared at him. Sameer too notice it and looked at Sakshi. He signal something to Sakshi which makes her happy. Sameer stop Arjun by calling his name. Arjun turn towards Sameer. As soon as he turn, Sakshi throw the tomato ketchup on his face. Arjun face get covered with ketchup making him looking funny. Seeing his face, Sameer and Sakshi starts laughing. Arjun wiped the ketchup from face and about to comment something but seeing Sameer laughing, his eyes glued on him. He heard his laughter after ages.
SAKSHI: Arjun tum naa ekdam cartoon dikh rahe ho… laal chehre wala cartoon
Sameer who is trying to compose himself, Hearing her comment again burst out into laugh doing hi-fived with Sakshi. This side seeing Sameer laughing, Arjun’s eyes starts brimming with tears. He quickly wiped his tears and said,
ARJUN: Iska badla mein zaroor lunga
SAKSHI: Haan le lena… darti thodi naa hoon tumse… bhai dekho kaise dhamka raha hai mujhe
SAMEER (Composing himself): Arjun agar meri princess ko dhamki di toh mujhse boora koi nahi hoga… ab yeh tum samjhe yaa me aur acche se samjhaun? Vo bhi demo ke saath
Arjun makes face and said,
ARJUN: Aap bhool rahe ho ki me aap ka bhai hoon
SAMEER: Lakin meri princess pehle…
SAKSHI: Awww
Sakshi hugged him. Sameer hug him back pecking on her head.
ARJUN: Dekh raha hoon bhaiya… Saki ke aate hi aap uski team mein chale gaye… koi baat nahi… me akela hi kaafi hoon…
SAKSHI: Ab jyada jalne ki zaroorat nahi hai…
ARJUN: Oh hello… Jal kon raha hai… kuch bhi…
SAMEER: Ok ok… ab sach mein late ho raha hai toh go and get ready… nasta kar ke hum nikalenge… Arjun jaauo tum bhi kapde badlo aur muh dholo
Arakshi nods and starts walking towards their room. This side Sameer continue making kachoris with smile. Arjun don’t forget to notice that smile before leaving. Arakshi reached at Sakshi’s room. Sakshi open the door and enter in room but before she can shut it, Arjun quickly enter inside and hide her in his embrace. Before she can react she feels his tears on her shoulder.
SAKSHI (worried tone): Arjun tum ro kyun rahe ho…
ARJUN: Thank you… thank you so much Sakshi…
He parted and cupped her face.
ARJUN: Tumhari wajah se aaj bhai itne khush hai… tumhe pata hai kitne saalon baad aaj unko aise haste hue dekha hai…unki hasi sune ek arsa ho gaya tha…
Tears roll down on his cheeks. Sakshi about to wipe his tears but Arjun hold her hand to stop her.
SAKSHI: Arjun
ARJUN: Nahi Sakshi… yeh khushi ke aansu hai… rehne do inhe…
Arjun’s happiness is clearly visible on his face. Sakshi can feel his love towards his brother which makes her smile. At the same time she is feeling low because somehow her sister is the reason behind all this. This side Arjun continue,
ARJUN: Me tumhe leke ekdam sahi tha Sakshi… mujhe pata tha tum mere bhai ke chehre pe smile wapas le aauogi… ab mujhe poora yakin hai ki poori tarah naa sahi lakin bhai ka thoda ghum toh kam ho hi jaayega… agar tum bina kisi koshish ke unki hasi wapas laa sakti ho toh I am sure thodi koshish karne pe hum bhai ko phir se khul ke zindagi jeene ke liye mana lenge…
He hold her hand and said with lot of hope,
ARJUN: Tum dogi naa mera saath? Mere bhai ki zindagi mein khushi wapas laane mein meri help karogi naa?
SAKSHI: Haan Arjun… Sam bhaiya ke liye me kuch bhi kar sakti hoon… don’t worry… hum dono milke unko sambhal lenge
ARJUN: Thank you Sakshi
SAKSHI: Thank you ki zaroorat nahi hai… vo mere bhi bhai hai
Arjun nods.
ARJUN: Ab ready ho jaauo
Arjun went to his room. Sakshi closed the door and a lone tear escaped from her eyes.
SAKSHI: Jo kuch bhi hua usne Sam bhai ki zindagi kitni badal di hai… aur me sab kuch jaanti hoon lakin kuch nahi karsakti… naa hi bhaiya ko aise dekh sakti hoon aur naa hi… (She take a deep sigh) baaki sab toh mere haath me nahi hai lakin bhai ko khush rakhne ki zimmeedari ab meri hai… I promise Arjun… hum humare bhai ki khushi wapas le aayenge…
With that she went into bathroom taking her clothes. This side Sameer arrange the dishes in dining area.
Soon Arakshi join him. They have their breakfast and then left for Etf office.
[After a month]
It’s been a month since Sakshi join the ETF. Shanaya, Liza, Shree, Chotu and Sakshi are best buddies now. Sakshi has changed the ETF’s environment with her chirpy nature. Arakshi has become new tom & jerry in the team after Shriza. Whole team can see the change in their seniors. Shanaya is happy seeing Sameer who become bit calm now. He used to smile on Sakshi’s random talk. He is showering lot of love and care on his princess. His coldness during work has decreased. Team can sense his care and fear for them while working on difficult cases. Team still having mini heart attacks when they see their akdu Arjun sir being romantic with Sakshi. His naughty comments always shock them. Arakshi are enjoying each other company and having beautiful time of their life. They both are waiting for a perfect opportunity to confess their love and make their relationship official. Everyone started to love spending time in office as they all feel family atmosphere there. Their bond become strong and unbreakable. Everything is going smooth.
[One Morning]
Shree and Chotu are in conference room and sitting silently with sad face. Liza and Shanaya enter in room but get surprise as it is drowning in silence even though ChoRee are there. They both take a seat and asked,
SHANAYA: Kya hua? Tum dono aise muh latkaye kyun bethe ho?
LIZA: Sir ne class lagayi hai kya?
CHOTU: Nahi re Li… vo toh abhi tak aaye hi nahi hai
SHANAYA: Phir tum dono itne udaas kyun ho?
SHREE: Sakshi ko delhi gaye 2 din ho gaye hai yaar… abhi tak wapas nahi aayi… uske bina bilkul accha nahi lag raha hai…dekho naa sab kitna shant hai
CHOTU: Haan yaar… mujhe bhi uski bohat yaad aa rahi hai
Shanaya and Liza nods in agreement being sad.
SHANAYA: Yaad toh hume bhi aa rahi hai uski…
LIZA: Kya ladki hai naa… team mein aaye 1 hi mahina hua hai lakin uski itni aadat ho gayi hai ki uske bina din hi nahi nikalta…
SHANAYA: True… uske aane ke baad usne yaha sab kuch badal diya hai… pehle office aane pe muh banate the aur ab office se jaane par muh banate hai
CHOTU: Deva humari Sakshi ko jaldi bhejo naa wapas… please
SHREE: Haan bappa… uski awaz sune bina aur uski smile dekhe bina sab adhoora adhoora lag raha hai… kisi kaam mein dil nahi lag raha
Liza and Shanaya smile seeing their puppy faces.
SHANAYA: Tum dono toh aise behave kar rahe ho jaise Sakshi ne humesha ke liye Etf chod diya hai… sirf kuch hi din ki toh baat hai… jaise hi seminar khatam hoga vo wapas aa jaayegi
CHOTU: Kab khatam hoga uska seminar?! Mujhe uske haath ki biryani khana hai
Shanaya and Liza smile while Shree put his hand on head in disbelief.
SHREE: Mere bheem ko khane ke allawa kuch aur dikhta hi nahi hai… kya hai Chotu har waqut khana khana khana… kabhi kabhi kuch aur bhi soch liya kar
Chotu glare at him.
CHOTU: Tu mere khane pe nazar mat laga warna...
Chotu trying to remove his rubber band from his hair which frightened Shree. He gulped and said,
SHREE: A... are... C…Chotu mein...mein toh majak kar raha tha... Shanaya bolo naa isse…
Sensing Chotu’s anger and Shree’s fear,
SHANAYA: Haan Chotu relax… Shree sirf majak kar rahatha
CHOTU: Theek hai… theek hai
Shree took sigh of relief. Before they can talk further, Sameer and Arjun enter in room. Seeing them, they all sit straight and greet their bosses.
SHRIZA/SHANAYA/CHOTU: Good morning sir
SAMEER: Good morning
Arjun nods accepting their greeting.
SAMEER: Ek emergency hai team… NRI industrial Shyam Ratan Lohiya ka naam toh tum logo ne suna hi hoga….
SHREE: Jinki bohat saari steal branch hai?
ARJUN: Right. Lohiya steal ke malik. Unka ek lauta beta Siddharth student exchanged programme mein kuch mahine pehle Hindustan aaya tha… ADF college mein padhta hai.
SAMEER: Aur pichle 3 dino se woh laapata hai.
SHANAYA: Any details sir?
ARJUN: Uss ka phone switch off hai aur naa hi koi baat accident ki taraf ishara karti hai aur naa hi kidnapping ki taraf… Uss ke father ne U.K. mein Indian embassy ko call kiya tha aur yaha bhi U.K. embassy mein call aa chuka hai…
SAMEER: Aur foreign minister ka phone aaya tha commissioner sir ke pass. We have to find this boy guys.
All nods in agreement.
SAMEER: Shree India mein land hone ke baad uss ki details find karo aur U.K. mein bhi humari intelligence team se contact karo… dekho kya nikalta hai.
Shree nods in yes.
ARJUN: Chotu Shanaya tum dono uss ke college jaauo. Uske principal, teacher aur friends se baat chit karo. Woh international student hostel mein rehta hai. uss ke roommate se bhi puchtach karo… Quick.
Trio went for their work. Shree is busy on his laptop finding Siddharth Lohiya’s details and Chotu and Shanaya went to his college. Siddharth ka roommate unhe information deta hai ki Siddharth aksar aisa karta hai lakin yeh pehli baar hua hai ki woh 3 dino se gayab hai. vo yeh bhi batata hai ki Siddharth ko 3 months pehle Lonavala ki rev party mein arrest kiya gaya tha.
At ETF, Shree Sameer ko inform karta hai ki Siddharth pichle kuch months se kaafi paise mangne laga tha. Bank account se pata chalta hai ki uss ne bade bade amount withdraw kiye hai aur uss ke gayab hone ke 2 din pehle usse 5 lakh rupees withdraw kiye the.

Sameer and Arjun Lonavala rev party ke baare mein puchtaach karte hai and party ki report se pata chalta hai ki drugs ki thodi si quantity mili thi. 4 bullet hawa mein fire hue the aur 132 log hirasat mein the. Sameer jab Siddharth Lohiya ko chodne ke baare mein puchte hai toh pata chalata hai ki uss ne drugs nahi liye the.

[At Party]
Party is at its peak. Everyone is enjoying there. D.J. boy is playing music. Some boys and girls are dancing in middle. Some are consuming drugs. Some are having alcohol and some are enjoying cigarette. Shree is pretending to be one of them. He is keeping an eye on everyone. After a moment Arjun enter in the party wearing black jacket.
Same time one girl come in middle wearing silver shorty with sleeveless red dress, looking breathing taking beautiful.
She start dancing on music and all youngsters starts following her moves.
This side Sameer and Chotu enter to the party place hiding from the goons. They take position outside the party hall. They all are connected via Bluetooth.
Inside, Arjun see the girl dancing in middle. As the lights are dim and many boys are dancing around her, he is unable to see her perfectly. He started to walk towards her. After taking few steps he reached near that girl. Girl is not aware about it and keep dancing. Arjun stand behind her and said,
ARJUN: Mere saath chalo
As soon as she heard his voice, she get freeze. Its familiar voice. She can never forget his voice. It’s a voice of the person who is very close to her heart. Memories starts playing in front of her eyes. Realizing the place and situation, she quickly composed herself and slowly turn towards him. Seeing her, Arjun feel ground slips under his feet. He is unable to believe on his eyes. Both keep looking at each other without blinking eyes. Music bring back Arjun to the reality. She too avert her gaze and said,
NADIYA: Naye aaye ho?
He keep looking at her for a second then said,
ARJUN: Jitney chahiye utne paise dunga
She smile on his words. She said with smile,
NADIYA: Paisa zameen pe padi dhool hota hai… (Turning her gaze into stern one) usse sar par mat chadhne do
Arjun keep looking at her with blank face as he is damn shocked seeing her. Other side Shree,
SHREE: Sir its time… yaha nadiya bhi hai aur drugs dealer bhi…
She starts dancing again and Arjun stand there looking at her.
Outside the hall, Sameer and Chotu is hiding behind the car with local police.
SAMEER (Thought): Yaha aake itna ajeeb mehsoos kyun ho raha hai… aisa kyun lag raha hai ki vo yahi kahin hai… me usse mehsoos kar paa raha hoon
After hearing Shree’s words, Chotu looked at Sameer for the orders but he is looking lost.
CHOTU: Sir…
But Sameer didn’t listen which makes him confused. He called him bit louder,
CHOTU: Rathore sir…
Which makes Sameer come out from his trance.
CHOTU: Sir kya orders hai?
Sameer take a deep sigh and control his emotions and said,
SAMEER: Let’s go
And they enter in the party. As soon as Sameer step inside the party, she felt a same restlessness which Sameer felt moment ago. Her heart starts thumping feeling his presence. Sameer’s restlessness also increased but he hide his emotions very well and focused on his work. Sameer fire the bullet and all starts running here and there. Her gaze falls on him and he too looked at her. World get stop for them as they are seeing each other after 8 years. Both are looking at each other with blank face, not believing on their eyes. Arjun notice both of them. Their trance get broken by the loud screams. Both look around. Nadiya’s gaze falls on Arjun, who removed his jacket and starts walking towards her. Noticing him, she looked at bar counter and then the circuit.
After that she notice the glass near her feet.
Arjun too looked at the bar counter and cricut. He understand her intentions and try to run towards her but she is quick. She kick the glass which breaks the bottle of alcohol at bar counter. Alcohol falls on circuit and it caught fire.
It makes whole hall sinking in darkness. Arjun look towards counter and then again at the place where Nadiya is standing but now there’s no one. Arjun went near Sameer. Before he can react, Shree catch the drug dealer who is trying to run from there and take him to the Sameer and Arjun.
SHREE: Sir yahi hai drug dealer.
Sameer slap him saying,
SAMEER: Damn it. Drugs bechta hai.
After seeing her, he is restless and his anger is showing it. Arjun is also in process to understand the scene.
They arrest everyone and went back to the office. Arjun want to talk with Sameer but after reaching office Sameer order everyone to reach in interrogation room. Arjun know it will be difficult to investigate about the girl they both are close to. Even though she has caused the lot of sorrow to both of them, but still it is very difficult for them. All enter in room except from Shree. Drug dealer is there tied with chair. Chotu threw the water on his face. Sameer and Arjun sit on table at both side of drug dealer – John.
SAMEER: Kaha hai vo ladki?
Sameer asked without letting his emotions get over him.
JOHN: Kon si ladki sahab?
SAMEER: Wahi jo kaam karti hai tumhare liye, Dancer Nadiya yaa phir koi aur naam hai uska
John get startled on question. He exchange look between Sameer and Arjun. Chotu put hand on his shoulder with stern look and signal him to answer the question. He get scared and answer,
JOHN: Sahab Nadiya humare liye nahi... Hum Nadiya ke liye kaam karte the… vo toh…vo boss hai humari
His statement shocked Arjun and Sameer. Both looked at each other.
SAMEER: What!!
JOHN: Nadiya ko kahin se drugs milte hai sahab… vo hume deti hai… time aur jagah batati hai… hum bas party mein jakar usse bech dete hai
Arjun put the Siddharth’s photo on table and asked,
ARJUN: Isse dekha hai kahin?
John see his photo and said,
JOHN: N..Nahi sahab
Arjun keep looking at him. John’s face is clearly saying that he is hiding something. Arjun take his gun and load it which scared john and answer immediately.
JOHN: Party mein dekha tha sahab… kuch din pehle… yeh ladka Siddharth har party mein aa jaata tha sir… Nadiya ke piche bhi pada tha…maine 2-3 baar dhamkaya usse but sir zyada kuch bol bhi nahi sakta tha… accha khasa kharcha karta tha party mein
[Flashbck]
Siddharth come out from party area and follow Nadiya and called her.
SIDDHARTH: Nadiya
NADIYA: Tum phir aa gaye?! Aakhri baar keh rahi hoon mujhse door raho samje.
SIDDHARTH: Nadiya... tumhari problem kya hai? I just like you aur bas tumse baat hi toh karni hai.
NADIYA: Tum acche ladke ho isse liye keh rahi hoon… Go Home.
At the same time, Nadiya’s phone ring and she picked up.
NADIYA: Hello... mein aa rahi hoon… haan bas… bas ek minute…
Said she walk towards other direction.
NADIYA: Ek minute i’m on my way.
Siddharth hear her voice. He thinks something and run towards that direction.
He comes there and called her.
SIDDHARTH: Nadiya
Nadiya and the man turn and looked at Siddharth. Man aim his gun towards him. Before he shoots, Nadiya shoot Siddharth.
NADIYA: Aap jaiiye boss mein handle karti hoon.
John see all this and then run from there.
[Flashback end]
Sameer and Arjun both control their emotions with great difficulties. Sameer stand up from the table controlling his anger.
SAMEER: Siddharth mar chuka hai
ARJUN: Kya kiya hai Nadiya ne Siddharth ki body ke saath?
JOHN: Mujhe maloom nahi Sahab…
Arjun too got up from table.
JOHN: Me ussi waqut andar party mein chala gaya tha… agar Nadiya mujhe dekh leti toh... toh me gaya tha sahab…
SAMEER: Aur Nadiya ke saath vo jo aadmi tha… vo kon tha?
JOHN: Sahab andhere mein uska chehra theek se dekh nahi paaya
Shree enter in room.
SHREE: Sir… party mein jo drugs mile vo kam se kam 35 laakh ke hai sir…
ARJUN: Jaha drugs honge Nadiya bhi wahi hogi… (To john) godown kaha hai tumhara?
JOHN: Pichle kuch mahino se bohat saara drugs pakda gaya sahab aur dealer bhi… hum jaise logon ko kuch nahi pata sahab… saara ka saara maal yahin kahin chhupa hua hai mumbai mein… bade log Nadiya jaise logon ke zariye hum tak vo maal pohchate hai but kisi ko nahi maloom vo maal aata kaha se hai
ARJUN: Nadiya se kaha milte the tum?
JOHN: Hotel Mumbai International mein dance karti hai vo…
Sameer clench his fist in anger.
JOHN: Wahi bulati thi hume
SAMEER: Chotu le jaauo isse
Chotu take John with him. Arjun sits on table and starts thinking about all the information.
SAMEER: Siddharth ki moat ke baare mein hum commissioner sir ko abhi nahi batabsakte
Arjun see him.
SAMEER: Hume Nadiya ko pakadna hoga aur Siddharth ki body bhi recover karni hogi… that’s the best we can do right now…
Arjun nods slightly understanding his mind state. Sameer went out from the room and Arjun keep looking at his retreating form. Sameer directly went into his cabin and locked it from inside before Arjun can reach. Arjun starts knocking the door.
ARJUN: Bhaiya… Bhaiya darwaza kholiye… bhaiya please….
But he didn’t get any reply. Arjun with a sad face enter in his cabin. He tried to call Sakshi but no one pick the call.
ARJUN: Hello Sakshi… Mujhe tumse zaroori baat karni hai please call me as soon as possible.
Arjun leave the voice message and throw his phone on table. He sits on his chair hiding his face into his palm.
[Sameer’s Cabin]
Sameer is very angry. Her face is flashing in front of his eyes and whatever John said about her is working as fuel. He banged the fist on table angrily. He pushed the chair making it fall on floor. He is in great dilemma and unable to calm himself. Sudden appearance of her that too like this, is making him mad and hurting him like a hell.
[Conference Room]
Shanaya, Liza, Chotu and Shree are talking with each other.
LIZA: Accha toh iska matlab Siddharth mar chuka hai?
CHOTU: Haan… ajeeb ladka hai… party mein jaata tha lakin drugs nahi leta tha
SHANAYA: Vo Nadiya ke liye jaata tha Chotu…
CHOTU: Haan lakin uske liye itne paise barbaad karta tha aur phir kya hua…ussi ne uska jaan le liya
SHANAYA: Anyways ab jab tak Nadiya ka kuch pata nahi chalta tab tak hum kuch nahi kar sakte…
SHREE: Kisi ki Sakshi se baat hui? Kaha hai vo?
LIZA: Maine call kiya tha lakin keh rahi thi seminar mein jaana hai… late ho raha hai…
SHREE: Kab aa rahi hai vo?
LIZA: Bol rahi thi kal khatam hone wala hai seminar… toh 2 din ke beech aajaayegi
CHOTU: Abhi aur 2 din!!!! He deva…
SHANAYA: Yeh 2 din bhi yun beet jaayenge… case bhi toh hai… dekho aaj kaise jaldi jaldi din nikal gaya
Chotu nods in yes.
LIZA (Checking the watch): Aaj Rathore sir ne abhi hume ghar jaane ke liye nahi bola?! Ab toh kuch kaam bhi nahi hai
CHOTU: Sir Interrogation ke baad sidha cabin mein chale gaye
SHANAYA: Guys aap logon ne notice kiya
SHREE: Kya?
SHANAYA: Waha party se aane ke baad dono mujhe kuch badle badle lage… (To shree) waha kuch hua tha kya shree?
SHREE: Nahi sab normal tha… aisa toh kuch hua nahi tha
LIZA: Tumhe kya ajeeb laga Shanaya?
SHANAYA: Pata nahi lakin kuch toh ajeeb hai… Rathore sir ki aankho mein dikh raha tha ki koi baat hai aur Arjun sir bhi mujhe kuch khoye khoye se lage
SHREE: Aisa kuch nahi hai… vo case ko leke pareshan honge aur kuch nahi... Siddharth ko leke higher authorities ki taraf se bhi bohat pressure aa raha hai naa issliye
Shanaya nods in yes but still she can feel something is wrong. Same time Arjun enter in cabin and declare Day off. Team is confused as first time Arjun is giving order for leave. Team silently follow his order and left the office. Arjun again went to Sameer’s cabin.
ARJUN: Bhaiya ghar jaane ka waqut ho raha hai…. please chaliye
No one reply.
ARJUN: Bhaiya please…
Still no response.
ARJUN: Bhaiya mujhe pata hai aap mujhe sun sakte hai… aur me yeh bhi samj gaya hoon ki aap kya chahte hai… lakin bhaiya ek baat aap bhi sun lijiye… aap jitna chahe utna gussa kar lijiye… aaj aap ki maar bhi kha lunga lakin aap ko yaha akele chod ke nahi jaaunga… aap nahi aana chahte ghar toh theek hai… me bhi apne cabin me hi hoon… jab jaayenge saath hi jaayenge
He turn to leave but stop as Sameer open the cabin door. Arjun feel bad seeing his state. His eyes are red due to anger and Of course tears which are still there. His hairs and clothes are bit messy and his knuckles has red marks. Sameer starts walking towards the exit and Arjun follow him silently. Sameer sits onto passenger seat and Arjun take driving seat. He start the SUV and starts driving towards home. On the way Arjun keep looking at Sameer who is gazing outside on empty roads. His condition is hurting Arjun. Soon they reached at apartment. Arjun open the door and both enter inside. Arjun locked the door and turn back to see Sameer but he is not there.
ARJUN: Bhaiya
He called him looking every corner of living room and balcony. Arjun headed towards Sameer’s room.
He is standing beside side table near bed. Arjun run to him and hugged him tightly. Sameer didn’t hugged him back nor he react.
ARJUN: Bhaiya please kuch boliye naa… aap ko aise dekh ke mujhe darr lag raha hai… kuch toh share kijiye mere saath… bhaiya please boliye naa… please
Arjun almost started to cry. Seeing him crying, Sameer quickly wrapped hands around him. Arjun hugged him more tightly.
SAMEER: Me theek hoon Arjun
Sameer said after a very long time. Arjun parted and looked at him.
ARJUN: Ab me chota bacha nahi hoon… mujhe pata hai unke waha hone se aur unke baare mein yeh sab sunke aap pe kya beet rahi hai (holding his hand) aur yeh nishan… gusse mein khud ko chot pohcha rahe hai aap
Sameer looks down.
ARJUN: Aap ne toh mujhse promise kiya tha naa ki aap kabhi apne aap ko choat nahi pohchayenge?
SAMEER: Maine jaanbujh ke kuch nahi kiya hai… bas thoda gussa aa gaya tha toh…
ARJUN: Toh aap mere pass aa sakte hai naa… me hoon naa aap ke pass… aise andar hi andar ghutne se kya hoga? Aap ko share karna padega… doctor ne bhi toh yahi kaha tha naa… koi baat dil mein nahi rakhna hai…
Sameer said nothing. Arjun think once and goes near the cupboard and pulled out the file. In patient name field, Sameer Rathore is written and at left corner of the file there’s address & contact details of doctor is written. Other side there is a name of doctor that is Dr. Nirvaan Shah, followed by his degree MD Psychiatry. Seeing Arjun pulling out that file,
SAMEER: Tune vo file kyun nikali?
ARJUN: kal ka appointment lene ke liye
SAMEER: Kyun?
ARJUN: Aap mujhse toh share kar nahi rahe ho lakin Nirvaan bhaiya ke aage toh aap ko bolna hi padega…
Arjun starts clicking photos of last report and then about to call but Sameer stop him.
SAMEER: Iski zaroorat nahi hai… me theek hoon… kuch nahi hua hai mujhe
ARJUN: Aap ne khud ko poore 1 ghante ke liye waha cabin mein bandh rakha, uppar se poore raaste chup the aur aap ki yeh halat… yeh sab bata raha hai ki aap theek nahi hai… ek baar Nirvaan bhaiya dekh lenge toh…
SAMEER: Maine bola naa me theek hoon… kuch nahi hua hai mujhe… Nirvaan ke pass jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai… agar aisa kuch hota toh me khud usko call kar leta
Seeing Arjun getting so worried, Sameer cupped his face and said softly,
SAMEER: Teri kasam Arjun… me theek hoon… depression jaisa kuch bhi nahi hai… bas aaj jo kuch hua uss wajah se thodi der ke liye khud ko sambhal nahi paaya issliye kuch waqut akele rehna chahta tha
ARJUN: Me samj sakta hoon ki aap pe kya beeti hogi… me khud heran ho gaya tha unhe waha dekh ke… vo bhi iss tarah… uppar se john ne jo kuch kaha vo…
Sameer let out one deep sigh and said,
SAMEER: Arjun vo aisa nahi kar sakti…
Arjun see him.
SAMEER: Zaroor kuch hai jo hume dikhayi nahi de raha... me manta hoon uski kuch baaton ne mujhe bohat hurt kiya hai lakin me usse jaanta hoon… vo aisa koi kaam nahi karegi jisse uska yaa parivaar ka naam badnaam ho… vo humesha Kapoors ki shaan rahi hai… vo apne parents ki izzat pe koi daag nahi lagne degi
Arjun nods in yes agreeing with him.
ARJUN: Aap sahi keh rahe hai lakin hum John ne jo kuch kaha vo nazar-andaz bhi nahi kar sakte… waise maine Saki ko phone kiya tha lakin laga nahi toh maine voice message choda hai… vo call karegi toh me usse baat karunga
SAMEER: Usko call karne ki kya zaroorat thi?
ARJUN: Usko puch sakte hai naa unke baare mein… I am sure usse pata hoga ki vo inn sab mein kaise shamil hai
SAMEER: Arjun waha uska important seminar chal raha hai aur phir uncle aunty bhi honge uske saath… ghar mein kisi ko bhi iss baat ka andaza hua toh bekaar mein issue khada ho jaayega… aur jaha tak me jaanta hoon usne Princess ko kuch nahi bataya hoga
ARJUN: Lakin vo Saki se kuch chhupati bhi nahi hai…
SAMEER: Haan lakin agar vo itne risky kaam mein involve hai toh usne Princess ko inn sab door hi rakha hoga… vo aisa kuch nahi karegi jisse princess ko kisi bhi tarah ki takleef ho toh tum Saki ko iss baare mein abhi kuch nahi batauoge
Thinking about everything,
ARJUN: Theek hai
SAMEER: Waise bhi jab bhi vo humare samne hogi tab usko inn sab baaton ka jawab dena hoga and I really hope ki iss baar uske pass apne kiye ka explantion hoga
Arjun notice Sameer is again taking stress so he said,
ARJUN: Bhaiya abhi ke liye uss baare mein mat sochiye… hum kal dekhte hai ki kya pata chalta hai
Sameer nods in yes.
SAMEER: Hmm… ab jaa… jaake so jaa
ARJUN: Nahi aaj me aap ke saath hi so jaaunga
SAMEER: Lakin…
ARJUN: Please
SAMEER: Accha theek hai… fresh hoke aa jaa…
Arjun nods. Soon both get fresh up and lay down on bed. After half hour, Arjun check Sameer and take sigh of relief seeing him sleeping.
ARJUN: Accha hai bhai so gaye… ek pal ke liye unki halat dekh darr hi gaya tha me… me bhai ko wapas depression ka shikar hote hue nahi dekh sakta… kitni lambi treatment ke baad vo theek hue hai…
He keep looking at his brother for few minutes then he too drift into sleep.

SAKSHI: Hmmm…. Bye
ARJUN: Bye
Both disconnect the call. Arjun join Sameer on breakfast table and inform him about Sakshi’s call. After reaching ETF, Sameer and Arjun went to hotel Mumbai International. They talk with manager and he give address of Nadiya. Sameer called Shree and order him to reach at the address with team. As soon as SamJun left from the cabin, Hotel manager signal Nadiya to come out from the hiding. He inform Nadiya about ETF which makes her startled. He also inform her that he has given her address to ETF. With that he tell her to meet him in night for a deal. Other side, SamJun with Shree, Chotu and Shanaya reached at Nadiya’s house. They start searching the house thoroughly. Sameer found some file and he started checking it. Arjun found one letter from the drawer. It’s from her uncle which confused Arjun. Other side Shree too found some files and goes near Sameer.
SHREE: Sir Nadiya ka bank account statement…
Sameer take files from him and check it. He found one slip of electricity bill.
SAMEER: Kuch gadbad hai
SHREE: Lakin yeh toh sirf electricity bill hai
SAMEER: Exactly… agar bijli ka bill bijli ke daftar mein jaake bharo tab yeh receipt milti hai lakin Nadiya apne saare ke saare bills online bharti thi toh phir iss receipt ka kya matlab hua?
SHREE: Iska matlab yeh hai ki yeh electricity bill kisi aur ghar ki hai
SAMEER: Right aur vo kiska bill bhar rahi thi vo iss bill pe likhe address pe jaake pata chalega
Shree nods and left from there. Sameer took a deep sigh as everything is making him restless. He looked at Arjun and goes near him.
SAMEER: Tumhe kuch mila Arjun?
ARJUN: Tau ji ki chitthi hai Sam, Nadiya ke liye
SAMEER: Tau Ji!!! Yeh chitthi kaha se aayi hai?
ARJUN: Aazamgadh se… lakin yeh zaroori nahi hai… zaroori yeh hai ki yeh kab aayi… iss pe toh aaj ki taarikh likhi hui hai lakin yeh chitthi aazamgadh se aayi hoti toh kam se kam 1 hafte pehle post ki gayi hoti aur dusri baat chitthi iss envelop mein aayi hai… iss envelop mein daalne ke liye koi isse itni baarfold kyun karega? Iss chitthi ke fold ke nishan dekho… agar isse wapas foldkiya jaaye toh yeh ek message banta hai… “Charkop bus depo raat 9:30 baje” aur uppar aaj ki tareekh
Something hits Sameer’s mind and Arjun’s mind as well.
ARJUN: Yeh possibility hai ki aaj raat charkop bus depo pe saade 9 baje ek drug deal ho rahi hai
SAMEER: Arjun tum aur Shanaya iss chitthi wale address pe jaauo… Me, Chotu aur Shree uss electricity bill wale address pe jaate hai
As per the plan Chotu, Shree and Sameer headed to the bill address while Arjun and Shanaya went to the bus depo. Sameer, Chotu and Shree get shocked when door gets open. This side at depo, in one bus Nadiya and Hotel Manage with two other men talking regarding drug deal. Arjun reached near bus and distract them. Nadiya, Manager and both goons get alert on it. Arjun pulled out one goon who look out from the bus window and shoot him. Others get alerted and firing get started. In firing other goon also get shot by Arjun. Nadiya jumped out from the bus.
ARJUN: Shanaya cover me…
Shanaya starts firing to handle the hotel manager and Arjun run to catch Nadiya. After a short chase, Arjun finally stop Nadiya coming in front of her pointing gun at her. Nadiya is quick and kicked his hand which makes gun fall down from his hand. They starts fighting. They both are feeling bad fighting with each other but the situation made them to do it. They both are doing their best. After a moment, Nadiya took Arjun’s gun and point towards Arjun. Without wasting a single second she press the trigger. Arjun keep looking at her for a few seconds then he slowly turn and shocked to see hotel manager standing there pointing gun at him and Nadiya has shoot him on his forehead. Manager falls on ground. Arjun turn towards Nadiya and hold her hand and make the gun turn towards her. Same time Sameer come there running stop him hurriedly saying,
SAMEER: Arjun stop… she is a cop
Nadiya looked at Sameer and seeing him, her heart skiped the beat. Her eyes glued on him for a moment. Sameer come there with Shree, Shanaya, Chotu and Siddharth. Sameer take a steps and goes near them. Arjun pulled out his gun from her hands. Sameerand Aisha see each other and share a moment of eye lock. Sameer is looking at her without any emotion which break her trance. She avert her gaze and look towards Arjun.
NADIYA (Sternly): Ek undercover police officer… jiska mission tumne fail kar diya hai
Sameer see her and somehow feel relaxed. Arjun too calm himself and looked back at siddharth. After seeing him, he again turn towards Nadiya. Sameer inform him about how Nadiya save siddharth from hotel manager. Arjun nods after hearing everything. SamJun and Nadiya looked at each other. Though they didn’t say anything but their faces are conveying the lot of emotions. Team exchange look seeing them. Shanaya take a step and to Sameer,
SHANAYA: Rathore Sir… hume office jaana chahiye
Sameer see her and nods in yes. Shanaya smile slightly and Sameer starts walking towards SUV. Shree and Chotu follow him with Siddharth. Shanaya take a step to go but looked back at Arjun who is still looking at Aisha. Shanaya understand that something is fishy.
ARJUN (Slowly): Chaliye
He said and left from there. Nadiya keep seeing his retreating form and small smile comes on her lips. Shanaya witnessed the scene. Nadiya see shanaya and she composed herself and they both headed towards SUV. In ETF conference room, Nadiya tell them about whole drug tred and how she is on the mission from 8 months. She is angry as due to ETF her mission get unsuccessful. In the end, they get a clue and found the DSP Praveen is behind all this. Nadiya call him informing about the Manager. ETF team with Nadiya follow him and attack on the factory. They sorted out things and now everything is under control. Sameer and Arjun are happy to know that she is an undercover cop and worked brilliantly. They avoid any kind of conversation with her and left the place as soon as everything get clear. As the whole day is tiring they drift into sleep as soon as they lay on bed.
[Next Day]
