Criminal Hearts

Chapter 28

In the Morning

Both were getting ready, but Krish was completely lost in his thoughts. Radhika sensed his tension.

Radhika: (Keeping her hand on his shoulder) 'Krish kya hua hai...itne khoye hue kyun ho tum... raat wali baat ke liye abhi tak pareshan ho...?'

Krish: 'Nahi nahi aisa kuch nahi hai...(He smiled a little)... accha chalo ab nikalte hain...warna late ho jaayega...'

Both went down and sat for the breakfast.

Radhika: 'Mumma... aaj se hi humara mission start hota hai...shayad mein aaj raat wapas na aaun... Aap bilkul bhi tension mat lena...'

Dadi: 'Krish...tu khayal rakhna humari Radhika ka...Tere bharose pe mani hoon mein...'

Krish: 'Mein dhyaan rakhunga dadi...' (He said looking deep into Radhika's eyes)

After breakfast both left for the bureau.

Chief: 'Radhika...are you really going for this...?'

Radhika: 'Yes sir...I am...'

Chief: 'Alright...taiyaari chalu kardo...'

In the regular meeting hall:

Radhika: 'Ajay and Rhea tum dono us ladki ke family se jaake baat karo ki voh asj us area mein na jaaye aur uske kapde laake mujhe do taaki mein uski jagah le sakoon...'

Ajay: 'Ok Radhika...'

Both Ajay and Rhea left.

Radhika went to her cabin but rest of the team members were still there in the hall.

Ishaani: 'Kya hua Krish...bahut serious lag rahe ho tum...'

Krish: 'Dekho guys...mujhe na... kuch theek nahi lag raha hai...hume aise Radhika ko akele nahi jaane dena chahiye...its really risky...baat uski jaan pe bhi aa sakti hai... agar vo pakdi gayi toh...'

Avinash: 'You are right Krish...but hum kya karein ab...'

Aarohi: 'Exactly... theek to mujhe bhi nahi lag raha but karein kya...'

Krish: 'Ummm....meine kuch socha hai...Pehle hum discuss kar lete hai..Lekin Radhika ko at a time batayenge taaki vo mana na kar sake...'

All: 'Okay'

Krish: 'So, hum Radhika par tracker fit kar denge aur use wireless calling ke through hum sabke saath connected rakhenge... jahaan jahaan voh Radhika ko leke jaayenge hume pata chalta rahega... aur voh hume khud bhi situation update deti rahegi...Hum thode distance pe use follow bhi karenge...aie unhe humpe shak bhi nahi hoga aur hum Radhika ko protect bhi kar payenge...'

Aarohi: 'Bohot acaha plan hai...'

Avinash: 'Hmm...agar wahan situations bigdi to hum atleast kuch karto payenge na...'

Ishaani: 'Great... chalo toh matlab yeh final hai...jaise hi Ajay and Rhea aate hain... hum unhe bol denge sabhi trackers active kar dene ke liye...'

Krish: 'Ok done...mein chief ko inform karke aata hoon...'

in the evening, Radhika was ready in the  burkha. She took deep breathes to calm her mind so that she can focus. At the same time the whole team entered in the cabin.

Radhika: 'Aap sab yahan... kya baat hai...?'

Krish: 'Dekho... hum tumhe aise akele nahi jaane de sakte..,.hum sab tumhare saath aa rahe hai...'
