Sach Kya, Jhooth Kya

Face-To-Face🖤

"Main logon ko yeh batana chahta hoon ke main bekasoor tha aur meri 2018 Kashmir hotel bombing case mein koi involvement nahi thi. Mujhe phasaya gaya tha."

"Par main hi kyun? Mumbai kitna bada sheher hai. Tum kisi aur ko hostage banakar apna insaaf lete."

"Tum mujhe nahi jaanti par mujhe yeh pata hai ke tumhara husband ek renowned news channel ka owner hai aur mujhe apni yeh khabar public tak bhi pohochaani hai isiliye hi maine tumhe chuna. Aur koi wajah nahi hai."

Meanwhile

"Humein apna kaam jaldi karna hoga Mr. Mohan. Mujhe nahi lagta humare paas zyada waqt hai."

"Aapne sahi kaha sir isiliye main andar jaa raha hoon apni wife ko bachane. Zyada der yahan khade hi rahe toh pata nahi woh ghusbaithi meri Gautami ke saath kya galat karde."

"Mr. Mohan, I understand your concern and how and what you are going through but humein iss critical waqt pe emotionally nahi balki practically and logically sochna hoga."

"Agar hum itna waqt sochne mein hi laga denge, toh meri Gautami ka kya? Humare paas itna waqt nahi hai sir, aap yeh baat kyun nahi samajh rahe?"

"Mr. Mohan, meri baat toh suniye--"

Abhyudaya begins to head inside the apartment complex when he gets pulled backwards by Mithilesh, restricting him to go in.

"Mujhe jaane dijiye, please."

"Nischay ka missed call hai mere phone pe."

"Kya? Usse jaldi call back kijiye phir."

"Isiliye toh maine aapko roka."

On the call

"Hello? Nischay?"

"Hello shello, baad mein karte rehna. Yeh batao kya abhi aapke saath Mr. Abhyudaya Mohan hai?"

"Haa, main yahan hi hoon. Batao kya demand hai tumhari mujhse."

"Apartment ke bahar media wale toh honge hi kyun?"

"Haa kyun?"

"Toh tumhare news channel ke reporters bhi aagaye honge?"

"Haa, ek hai yahan par tum iss information se kya karoge?"

"Sahi baat hai. Toh tum ussi reporter ko leke ghar ke andar aajao. Mujhe tumse aur humari public se ek bohot zaroori baat karni hai."

"Okay, main aa raha hoon. But mujhe ek baat batao. Meri wife toh thik hai naa?"

"Haa haa, woh ekdum thik hai."

"Accha thik hai."

"Ek aur baat. Main tumhe aur uss reporter ko ekdum akela dekhna chahta hoon. Without any police. Agar mere saath tum logon ne koi bhi badtameezi karne ki koshish kari ya maine kisi bhi police wale ko tumhare saath dekh liya, toh yaad rakhna ke aaj ek bekasoor ki issi apartment mein bina matlab maut hogi. Zaroor hogi. Yaad rakhna."

"Nahi nahi, main sab samajh gaya. Main koi bhi oversmartness nahi dikhaunga, don't worry. Bas Gautami ko kuch mat karna, please."

"Haa haa."

Nischay hangs up the call from his end.

"Ab kya kare, sir? Yeh ek accha mauka hai Nischay ko overpower karke usse arrest karne mein."

"Baat toh tumhari sahi hai. Ek kaam karte hai, ek plan hai mere paas."

"Kya Sir? Bataiye phir."

"Tum apne reporter ko leke ghar ke andar chale jao. Main aur meri team chupke se tum dono ka peeche karenge aur sahi waqt aane par Nischay ko pakad lenge."

"Are you sure yeh plan work karega? I mean, main kisi ki bhi safety risk par nahi daalna chahta."

"Life mein kabhi kabhi toh risks lene padte hai Mr. Mohan aur mere kaam ke wajah se mujhe waise bhi almost daily risks lene padte hi rehte hai."

"Still. You sure?"

"Yes, we should not waste any more time."

The plan was set in action and Abhyudaya went inside taking the reporter along with Mithilesh and his team carefully and sneakily following them, tiptoeing their way forward.

"Main aagaya hoon Nischay. Ab meri wife ko chordo. Uska inn sab mein koi involvement nahi hai. Tumhe jo bhi baat hai, mujhse karo."

Nothing could be heard in the room except a dead utter silence.

"Hello? Kya mujhe koi sunn sakta hai?"

"Kaafi der late hogayi Mr. Mohan. Aapki laaparwahi ke wajah se aaj mujhe yeh kadam uthana para."

Abhyudaya turned around where Nischay was facing his back and was left in utter surprise and shock.
