".....
Listen to me first. Don't overdo anything that will bring suspicions to anyone about you. Control your impulses, Zuhayr. We don't want any unwanted casualties like last time. Do you get it? ", it was his father instructing him from miles away. On contrary, he wasn't hyped up about it. He was calm and more chilled out.

" I get it, Abba. I have Amir with me. We have checked everything twice. Aap fikr na kare! ", he was in the hotel room. Sipping a glass of plain milk.

" I hope you have read all the details, Siddharth shared with you. "

" Yes. I have all bi-heart. Anything else? ", he wanted to hang up the call as soon as possible. His father was bugging him from last 45 minutes.

" Best of luck. Khuda Hafiz. "

" Thank you, Abba. Allah Hafiz. ", he hanged up the call.

He sighed deeply.

" Are you ready? ", Amir asked as he entered the room, they shared.

" Kya lagta hai tujhe? ", he was smirking.

" Like you were born for it. ", wagging his eye brows.

" That I was!!!! ", chuckling at the end.

He laughed as he remembered the events.

" My name is Rahul Malhotra and he is my assistant Samarth Desai. These is my identity card. We work in an insurance company. We have come here to meet one of your student, Afzal Sheikh. His father had signed certain schemes in our company, and on calling at his home, his mother said he was at school. And it's urgent, as we will be leaving for Mumbai at evening. ", Zuhayr concluded without having crease on his face.
