His mini group of friends were planning a get together of families, on this Sunday that was tomorrow..and his only family was not home...
He buried his face in his pillow, sulking..
He took his phone and called on the number saved as Iron Man (his Dada), and as always it was out of reach....
Sometimes it would be switched off, sometimes it would be out of reach...
Sid threw the phone on the bed and laid in irritation...
Tai came in and looked at him in disbelief, he hadn't even removed his apron...
She nudged him, he groaned but went to change, he knew the house rules that Abhi had drilled in his head since he was a child, change clothes, no dirtiness, and keep things clean...do your own work, learn to keep things on place so that you don't have to search them later on...blah blah blah..
He even knew how to cook, because when Sid turned 18, along with teaching him to drive a car, he was taught to cook...he could do all his work independently...
He changed and laid on Shaanti's lap:"Dada kab aayenge, humesha ka hai unka..I miss him"
She caressed his hair:"Uske boss ke aage vo kuch nahi bol paata, use dar lagta hai, job chali gayi toh, usko bhi toh samaj beta.."
Sid sighed sadly:"Main doctor ban jaunga na, fir dekho aap, unko kaam nahi karne dunga...kitne thake hue aate vo aisi lambi business trips ke baad...Dada 2 mahine se Gaye hue hain...."
Shaanti:"Vaise Aaj suddenly itna kharab mood kyon.."
He told her everything about the get together...
She was an introvert and didn't mix with people easily... though she knew Sid's friends, she resisted going out with them...she was old now, she didn't enjoy noisy things..but she tried and went with him, just to make him feel good...Sid understood her resistance and asked her to stay...
She sighed:"Abhi aa jayega na, toh tu use le jaana...nahi aa paaya, toh main aa jaungi, ok?"
Sid shook his head and sat up:"Nahi Amma, aise nahi karo, mere liye aap sar dard kyon invite karti ho...aap aaram karo.."
She smiled and kissed his forehead, he was so innocent and sweet that she loved him the most...even more than Abhi, because Abhi was rarely home, and didn't get a chance to show his affection...
They went to eat lunch, as Sid would have to go back to college to attend an extra lecture...
...
RAW headquarters, Delhi...
Abhi reported to his head officer, who nodded and took the file...
Abhi waited patiently to get the permission to leave...
After returning back from his just finished mission, he had thanked God hundred times...
He had been injured, but he was safe...luckily his work was done too, the report was ready...his work was to extract information by living amongst them...the terrorists were secretive, and this time, because the situation was tense, there were strict orders not to involve directly with them...
So he had disguised as a drug peddler...someone who terrorists needed regularly..
He hadn't got caught and was ready with the report and had also called the team to attack...
It was his last day there, he was waiting for the army team to attack, he was keeping an eye outside their living area, the terrorists were there today, for huge shipment of drugs...he was sure today they would be caught...
