Criminal Hearts

Chapter 37

In the meeting hall, 

Krish: 'Guys... ek bohot badi bad news hai... (everyone looked at him seriously)... dean mara nahi zinda hai... Aur sabse badi baat ki usne hume khula challenge diya hai...recording bhej ke...Radhika...sabko recording sunao...'

She played the audio and everyone were shocked after this...

Radhika: 'See... ab yeh toh clear hai ki dean zinda hai...par sochne vali baat yeh hai ki mere cabin mein yeh pahunchi kaise...?'

Krish: 'Tumhe yeh envelope aur pendrive...tumhare cabin main mili...?"

Radhika: 'Haan...Already mere desk pe tha envelope...'

Aarohi: 'Par koi toh laya hoga na...aise apne aap to aa nahi gayi...'

Ishaani: 'Yeh bhi toh ho sakta hai ki office khulne se pehle hi koi vahan rakh ke gaya ho...?'

Avinash: 'Par aisa kaise ho sakta hai... security to hoti hai na office main 24/7...?'

Ajay: 'Yrrr... jisne itni zyada info nikal li hai hum logon ke baare mein... uske liye ek envelop rakhna konsa bada kam hoga...?'

Krish: 'Yes Ajay is right... Par yeh pata lagana bohot zaroori hai ki...aaya kahan se hai aur kaise.... mujhe is baar dean ko khatam karke hi rehna....bohot tang kar liya isne...'

Radhika: 'Yess....Rhea, Ajay, and Ishaani, tum teeno tracing main expert ho...common guy- ki koi bhi activity miss nahi honi chahiye... Avinash bhai and Aarohi app dono...dean ke baare mein ya uski personality se milte julte kisi bhi aadmi ke baare mein koi bhi information milti hai online... wo nikaal lo...'

Krish: 'Aur tum Radhika...mere saath chalo... hum locker room chalte hain...blast type ki activities ke jitne bhi purare records hai unki files study karte hai...'

Radhika: 'Theek hai... guys sab sham ko report karenge...'

Krish and Radhika headed to the secure CBI locker room, known only to under-training cadets. They settled in and began studying the files. After eight hours, Radhika completed her work, but Krish was still focused on one file.

Radhika: (In mind) 'Kabse lage hue hai...thakaan ho rahi hai...mein aisa karti hoon cafeteria se chai le aati hoon hum dono ke liye...'

Since Krish was engrossed, Radhika quietly left without informing him. After 15 minutes, she returned with two mugs. As she entered, she became captivated, unintentionally gazing at him. He remained unaware of this. Gradually, she moved closer, snapping out of her trance upon hearing Krish wince.

Krish: 'Aaaoouuuchh..!!...Radha kya kar rahi ho...' (She accidently stepped on his foot)

Radhika: (In mind) 'Oh god... yeh kya kar rahi thi mein...kya yrr mein apna popat khud hi karva leti hoon...ab kya bolu Krishna ko...' (He looked at her expecting an answer)

Radhika: 'Woh...woh...haan...actually main ye chai leke ayi thi hum dono ke liye isiliye...jald baazi mein...I stepped on your foot...sorry...'

Krish: 'It's ok it's ok...ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi...koi baat nahi vaise filhal to mujhe meri jaan se mila do...(She looked at him with squinted eyes)...aree matlab meri chai dedo...(He said while taking one mug from her)

They had tea together, and then they went to the meeting hall for a discussion with their team.

Krish: 'So guys... kaisa raha aaj ka investigation... Kisi ko kuch mila...dean se related...'

Avinash: 'Yrr...online aise blast se related filhal abhi to kuch nahi mila...but I guess shayad kuch mil jaye...'

Aarohi: 'Hmm...'
