Agarwal House
Sanyukta was behaving weird and it was getting weirder with every passing day. Okay, they had a moment together but why was she ignoring him? Randhir scratched his temple twice and scowled. Kunal too was not able to digest her weird behavior. Her Sati Savitri, abla naari mode was something beyond their tolerance and belief.
Next morning, Randhir went down to Anju and greeted her by touching her feet. She smiled and blessed him. He had certainly gained the image of a hero in her eyes. He went down for some purpose and it was the time shot the arrow out of the bow!
"Aunty, actually...can you tell me the way to Raj Mandir? I have heard that it is the most beautiful cinema hall of the world. Kunal and I are thinking to visit it." He said.
"Yes, Raj Mandir is one of the most beautiful cinema halls of the world and it is the pride of Jaipur. You must visit it. Have you heard of M.I. Road?" she asked.
"Huh? No aunty. Actually, I have never been there." He intentionally denied.
"Oh! Then how will you go? You can take the rickshaw, he'll take you." Anju said.
"Aunty, these rickshaw walas are crooks. Last time, I went to Sanganer (one of the places in Japiur), the rickshaw wala looted me, he had charged around 300 bucks. We are here strangers, everyone takes advantage of us. "He made a puppy face which was enough to melt Anju.
"Oh beta! 300 bucks! You do one thing, take Sanyukta and Vidhushi with you. They'll show you whatever you want to see. "She said.
BULL'S EYE!
His face lit up when he got the green signal from Anju. Now he would get a chance to be closer to Sanyukta and talk to her about her weird behavior.
"That's great, Aunty. But... would she go? I mean..."
"Of course, she will!" Anju replied. "Wait let me call her...SANYU! SANYU! VIDHUSHI! Both of you come out." She called out.
Sanyukta came outside running but froze as soon as she saw Randhir standing in front of her. Randhir's eyes widened when he saw her estate - her face was covered with dark green face pack, might be to increase the glow in her skin. She was indeed looking horrible and she was embarrassed for coming outside like this but she went too numb to glare at her mother for calling her out so abruptly.
"Sanyu...what is this?" Anju asked.
She shifted her gaze to Anju and, "Maa...woh...this is neem face pack. I thought...I..." she couldn't speak as she was very uncomfortable in front of him.
"Oh! Anyway, wash it off and go with Randhir and Kunal. Take them to Raj Mandir and wherever they want to go." Anju ordered her and Sanyukta skipped a beat. She couldn't believe that her own mother was doing this to her, how could she send her with two unknown men for a movie or anywhere like this and those two unknown men were those whom she was avoiding.
Randhir was just witnessing the whole scene in front of his eyes without saying anything. But the smile didn't leave his face.
"Maa...I cannot go. I...I...have some work." She replied ignoring to look at Randhir.
"What work? Don't lie. Just go Sanyu. Take Vidhushi with you." Anju yelled and Sanyukta had no option. She bent her head down in disappointment and went inside her room.
"You wait for 10 minutes, I'll send them and tell me if they misbehave with you. And also Randhir, please take care of my daughters. I am trusting you!" Anju's tone was serious which scared him. He knew what he was doing would definitely going to hurt her daughters, not then but in near future. Still, he lied by nodding his head. Anju smiled and bless him and he choked in guilt might be!

He watched his naked torso in the mirror which was his daily routine. The scars were still present there, the scars of bullets which penetrated his skin at the time of war, the scars of all those brutalities which the enemies showered over him but he could successfully come out of their hands. A lone tear came out of his eye recalling all those bitter memories of losing his own family - they killed them all without showering any mercy on his innocent family. Niharika and his son, what was their fault? This was the time when he had got the chance to take revenge from all those who conspired against him and his family and killed them all. These scars kept him reminded of the REVENGE which he had to take against all.
He pulled his shirt back on his naked torso and pulled out his phone from the pocket of his trousers and dialed a number.
"Hello, Randhir." he said.
"Vardhaan Sir!" Randhir said in a surprise. Indeed, Vardhaan's call was unexpected to him. His heartbeat rushed as Vardhaan held a persona which was enough to make the person in front nervous and scared. He was the man of his words and strongest of all in their gang. He was their leader and the master mind of the mission. Randhir too had the same persona for rest of others but Vardhaan indeed had an upper hand. Randhir had always considered him as his mentor and ideal. He could refuse anyone but not him. They had some sort of connection between them which even Vardhaan couldn't deny. For Vardhaan, Randhir was his best trainee and he had always considered Randhir as his younger brother, but never showed him. He had always tried not to show his feelings towards Randhir as this wouldn't be good for the mission.

"Boss, we don't need them to Raj Mandir. We can go there alone and I have went there before too. I had shown you all the photos and sent them all to Chief too. Why are we wasting our time? I think we should go to some other places." Kunal said.
"I know we don't all this but I have to fix a few things before we proceed. Ask Parth also, to meet us at the movie hall." Randhir replied.
"Parth toh aj gaya." Kunal murmered and Randhir glared at him. Kunal looked away and ran out of the room.
***
"Auto!" Sanyukta screamed and Randhir along with Vidhushi and Kunal looked at her. She was louder than required and caught everyone's attention. The auto stopped and Vidhushi stepped inside first, then Sanyukta went. Kunal stepped forward but Randhir held his elbow and pulled him back, then he stepped inside and sat next to Sanyukta. Kunal was taken aback and Sanyukta skipped a beat. She didn't want to sit next him but he was shamelessly gawking at her. Kunal had no choice but to sit next to the driver.
"Madam, kahan?" the driver asked directly from Sanyukta where they wanted to go.
"Raj Mandir le chalo." Sanyukta replied looking away from Randhir.
The journey started and Sanyukta tried to shift more into Vidhushi trying to move away from Randhir.
"Oh ho, didi! What is wrong with you? Why are you pressing me so much?" Vidhushi yelled and Sanyukta glared at her.
"Sanyukta, you can shift here. Why are you pressing that poor girl?" Randhir pretended that he didn't know anything.
She looked down in embarrassment and Randhir smirked.
"Which movie are we going?" Vidhushi asked.
"Dev D" Kunal replied.
"What! Dev D? Are you serious?" Sanyukta sounded shocked.
"Yeah, Dev D. What's wrong? "Randhir asked.
"It...it's an A' rated movie. How can we watch it?" Sanyukta said and Vidhushi bit her lip. She wanted to go and watch it but she was scared of Sanyukta so she kept quiet and pretended to be shocked.
"Why? Aren't you both adults?" Randhir snapped.
"No...we are adults but...but we cannot watch an A' rated movie." She said as for her watching such movies is a taboo.
"Why can't you watch such movies?" Randhir pretended again as he was unaware of the reason.
"Well...good people don't watch such movies." Sanyukta said without looking at Randhir.
"WHAT! Good people! How does watching an adult movie relate to being good or bad? Can you explain Miss?" he asked again and smiled. Kunal couldn't control his laughter but indeed succeeded in suppressing it.
"Woh... Woh...they show wrong things in it." She said.
"Oh wrong things! Okay! What wrong things, can you explain, Miss?"
She was tongue tied then. Was he actually asking this question - What happens in A' rated movies? Everyone knew that and it was all wrong for her.
She gulped twice and looked outside the auto as if someone would tell her the answer.
"I am waiting, Sanyukta." Vidhushi giggled as Sanyukta was stuck and this was one of the rarest times when Sanyukta actually had no answer! She was enjoying everything. Sanyukta glared at her and she just shrugged.
"You know what happens, Randhir!" Sanyukta said.
"Yes, I know what happens but I just wanted to know what is wrong in it? I mean everyone does it in his or her life." He said.
She was shocked and was very uneasy as he was too bold in front of her and she was never like this. In her society, no one talked about it so openly and boldly and like every Indian middle-class family she was taught sex as a taboo and such things were never discussed so openly.
She was already not really comfortable in front of him and that conversation was giving her heart attack. He kept on gawking at her hoping that she would reply something but she didn't. He wanted to nag her more but looking at her discomfort, he decided not to push her more. Soon they arrived the cinema hall and all got down.
"I'll get the tickets." Kunal said.
Randhir nodded and wore his pair of goggles. The ladies were standing near the entry gate and Kunal was standing in the queue. Randhir looked around and felt a pat on his shoulder. He turned around and gritted his teeth in anger.

"I need to see you," came Vardhaan's voice.
"Now? Why?" Randhir asked.
"Yes, now. "
"But why?" Randhir sounded confused.
"Come here. Something important."
"Where?" Randhir asked.
"hmm..." and Vardhaan cut the phone.
Randhir understood why he hung the phone like that. He knew that the locations couldn't be discussed over the phone. They were not that stupid who could be careless about it. The first rule in the training sessions they were taught was: never ever reveal locations to anyone directly. They were taught code languages to talk to bluff anyone who would be spying them.
He sat on the bed and was waiting for Vardhaan to give him any sign or code for his location. He was gawking at the screen of his mobile and his phone flashed with a text message which had a numeric code in it.
"018005014020"
He immediately pulled out a pen and a paper from the drawer and started decoding the message but the screen flashed with another such message but it was different from last time.
"016001012005019020"
He wrote both the codes and started scribbling something on the paper to decode them. Vardhan and Randhir used different type of code language. They were both linguist so they used a mix of languages in their codes which could bluff anyone. Coming to the first code it said 018=V; 005=E; 014=N; 020=T' which madevent which meant wind in German and he was happy that he could successfully decode the first one. Coming to the next, it said 016=P; 001=A; 012=L; 005=E; 019=S; 020=T' which made Palestwhich meantPalace in French, when he clubbed them together it read Wind Palace' which meantHawa Mahal which is Situated in Jaipur. A smile crept on his face when he got to know that Vardhaan was in Jaipur and he knew where he could be there.
He immediately got up and packed his bag. He was in Delhi and knew that he would never came back to that house where he was living. He cleaned everything from the house which was evidencing his presence there and he didn't want to leave any trace of his existence for his enemies. He looked at his watch which showed that it was 11:55 PM and there were total 15 zeros in the codes and it was Vardhaan's style to convey the time for the meeting and he understood. 15 meant 15 hours i.e. 3:00 PM.

Raj Mandir
"Why did you call me here?" the person yelled at Randhir.
"I have called you here for Vidhushi, Parth." Randhir replied.
"Look, I have told you many a times that I am not interested in her. We don't need that dumb girl, Randhir." He sounded irritated.
"We need them both, whether you like it or not. Vidhushi is just a backup. You know only they could help us enter there. If Sanyukta doesn't help me, Vidhushi would help you to enter there. That is why, go and talk to her. Just take her in your confidence and become friendlier with her. She is not a tough girl like Sanyukta. " Randhir replied.
"Vidhushi is too easy to crack. She just wants me in her bed and..." he said and Randhir burst into laughter and Parth glared at him, "Don't laugh, dude. You are lucky to have Sanyukta. At least she is...is..." Parth paused.
"Is what?" Randhir asked as he was too curious to know. His tone was serious.
"Is smart, intelligent, beautiful and what every guy wants from his girl. She is a perfect girl. I hope you don't fall her in real." He said and Randhir's heartbeat rose.
"This will never happen, Parth." Randhir glared again.
"Good for you. Let's go, Vidhushi is looking at me like a dog looks at a bone." Randhir chuckled and they both went to the ladies.
"Hi Parth, Randhir didn't tell that you are also coming." Vidhushi said moving close to Parth and he showed his uneasiness. Sanyukta too glared at her but she ignored.
"Yeah, Randhir just called up and told me about the plan. I thought I should come and meet you all." He said.
"I am so happy that you came, Parth." Vidhushi's grip became tighter on his elbow.
"Let's go inside guys." Kunal said while showing the tickets.
All went inside the hall. It was a huge hall which was decorated in such a way which showed the heritage of India. Beautiful expensive carpet, vintage sculptures and amazing lightings. The whole premises was filled with tourists from the rest of the world. Parth was leading everyone. They were five people and got 5 seats from the corner. First Parth entered the row and took the first seat, Vidhushi ran quickly and sat next to him, Sanyukta wanted to sit next to her but Kunal sat in the middle. Sanyukta scowled but no one paid attention to her. She was about to sit next to Kunal but Randhir pushed her a little and sat next to Kunal.
"Listen, I want to sit next to my sister. Will you come to this side, Kunal?"
Kunal looked at Randhir who was glaring at him. He knew Randhir didn't want him to shift so he just said that he couldn't shift there. He liked the middle seat. Randhir smirked and Sanyukta had no option but to sit next to Randhir. She was very uncomfortable with him. She just wanted to run away from there but he couldn't leave Vidhushi alone with those men and she knew Vidhushi would never go with her. She started sweating in the AC and Randhir pretended to be busy in his phone. He wanted to make her feel comfortable. He wanted to talk but not like this.
The movie started and in the beginning scene, the heroine was sending her nude pictures to the hero and Sanyukta felt uncomfortable. She bit her lip as she was sitting with unknown men and she wasn't habitual of watching such movies. Randhir was gawking at the screen and smirked which didn't go unnoticed by her. She made a disgusted face and looked down. She was just stealing the glimpse of the movie as she wasn't liking it at all.
Then came a smooching' scene and she flushed. She panicked and was about to get up but Randhir held her back. He was holding her wrist quietly but his gaze was stuck at the screen. She looked at him and wriggled in his grip. The scene was already so steamy that she couldn't control her senses and on the top of that he had held her.
"What are you doing? Leave me!" she yelled in her loudest whisper.
"I won't. Keep sitting."
"I want to go to the washroom. Leave me, Randhir."
"Oh, washroom! Yeah, going to a washroom is quite normal after watching such sexy scene. Even I need to go. Let's go together." He replied finally looking at her.
She flushed. She couldn't believe her ears. He was going too bold with her. How could he discuss that with her? She gulped as she didn't like his intentions.
"Guys, we are coming. Sanyukta needs to go to the washroom. Even me too. We'll be back." He said and looked at again, " Let's go." He said.
"I don't want to go, now." She said crossing her arms around her chest and rested back.
"Chalna toh padega tumko. Come on." He said and held her wrist. She was flabbergasted, but before she could do anything he pulled her towards him and dragged her out of the hall.
"Leave me, Randhir."
He remained indifferent and took advantage of the situation. When he saw that there was no one watching them, he dragged her inside the men's washroom and locked themselves in one of the washrooms. Sanyukta had never expected this from him. What was that man upto? The question roared in her mind. She started shivering as she was really very scared of him. He seemed to be very dangerous to her and there was no one there. He could anything with her and she didn't have the strength to fight with him.
Koi bachalo muhje!
"What do you want? Why have you locked us here? It's a men's loo, why have you brought me here? Randhir, you...you don't know about my family, they are very powerful. You cannot harm me." She tried to threaten him.
He rested his back on the door and was just looking at her face and smiling. He hadn't imagined her to be this weak in front of him. She had always been a fighter Sanyukta and he wanted that girl back.
"Let me go." She moved forward to open the door but he stood in front of the latch and she collided on his chest. She immediately moved back and looked away. Things were getting out of her control. She turned around and faced her back to him.
"Why are you ignoring me?" he asked in his husky voice and her body stiffened. She had been avoiding this question as she herself didn't know the answer. How could she tell him that whenever he came in front of her, she had always lost her control over heartbeat and breath and she hated that! How could she tell him that she start doing all those stupid things in front of him which she wouldn't had done when he wasn't around and she hated that! Since the time he had saved her from those criminals, he had become the hero for her family and for a little piece of her heart and she hated that! All the time, she just used to think about him and she hated that! And now she was hating this situation which she was stuck in. Her feelings for him had been changing but no way she would tell him.
"I am asking something. Why are you ignoring me?" he asked again but she kept quiet.
He gritted his teeth and moved forward. His hard chest touched her back and she closed her eyes. He was too close to her and she went into the other world where she was trying hard to control her budding feelings.
"Tell me, Sanyukta." He said and pressed himself into her and she collided on the wall in front.
"Ran...Randhirr... let me go, please!" She slurred.
"I won't until you answer me."
"I...I..." she couldn't say anything.
"You know it's a men's loo and what if I let you in front of all. What people will think? A girl inside a men's washroom with another boy. Think about your image. So, like a good girl tell me why are you ignoring me?" He tried to blackmail her.
"Are you blackmailing me?" she asked. Now, her anger was rising.
"Yes, I am blackmailing you." He admitted and she swiftly turned around, he wasn't aware and prepared for that and her lips brushed his and they were both taken a back. That touch longed just for a fraction of second but they both froze. In anger she turned around to slap him, might be but this lip touch was the most embarrassing moment for her. Even Randhir was shocked, her soft lips just touched his and a current of 1000 W ran through his body. It was something...something...which cannot be explained in words. He immediately moved back and she ran out of the washroom. She was shivering as she knew that this lip touch would fuel her budding feelings for him. She slyly went of the washroom and went inside the hall again. The washroom incident was flashing in front of her eyes and gave her chills down her spine.

As soon as his feet touched the ground of Jaipur, he felt an urge to see her and his son. She was his only belonged there along with Aksh. He had a lot of time in his hand to meet Vardhaan so he decided to see her once. A human heart inside him was pushing him towards her and he was ready to deny all those promises which he made to himself that he wouldn't meet her or see her anymore. All those promises appeared vague to him.
The streets were dark and the temperature was at its minimum. A few roadside men were sitting around the bonfire to warm themselves. He moved towards her house slowly hiding himself from those men. He entered her street from a lonely lane and heard the morning bells from the nearby temple and recalled his old memories - how his sleep used to get disturbed by those bells and he used to wake up angrily.
He finally reached to her house and was gawking at her room's balcony, praying to get a glimpse of her. After around 10 minutes, he decided to step inside her house when she didn't come out. He started taking steps towards her house slowly, hiding himself. He reached to the wall of her house, before he could climb it, he felt a hand clutching his arm, pulling him to a corner. He turned around and was stunned to see the person standing in front of him clad in a black hoody jacket covering his head.
"Vardhan Sir!" Randhir called out.
Vardhan left his arm with a jerk and clenched his jaw.
"What are you doing here, Randhir?"
"Sir... mmm..." He looked down as he had no answer.
"Answer me. You came here to meet her, right?" Vardhan said.
"Sir, are you spying on me?" He asked.
"Yes, you've have left no option for me. I intentionally called you late. I knew you'd be early here and go to see her. And guess what? I was right. Do you even know who we are? Maybe, some of our enemies are keeping an eye on us. Why do you want to put your wife and your child into a trouble? Look Randhir, I have lost my wife and child long ago. The pain of loss is unbearable. I don't want you to suffer like I am suffering. " Vardhaan's eyes were almost into tears when he spoke the last line.
"We...are not married yet. And what do I do, Sir? I love her. I am trying hard drift her apart from me but she is now a part of me. You tell me how can I remove a crucial part of me? I'll die Sir...I'll die." He screamed the last line.
"...and until I am alive, nothing can happen to them!" he finished.
"What after your death?" Vardhaan asked straight.
Randhir had no answer. He knew anything could happen to him anytime. A bullet might come from unknown source at unknown time and he wouldn't be dead. What after his death? Even he asked this question from himself and the answer was unknown to him. He was understanding where Vardhaan was going with that conversation. He looked down as he had no answer.
"Let me tell you what will happen, Sanyukta and your boy - what's his name? Sorry I don't know the name of your son, anyway, they will be shot dead as soon you die even before you don't die if you keep on following them like this. Don't tell them your weakness, Randhir and don't let the innocents of your life die." Vardhaan said.
Randhir broke down into tears and Vardhaan hugged him tightly. "Brother, calm down." He said and took Randhir away with him.
