The Wait

Part-18

Arjun stood unmoving but still in a rage ,whereas Riya stood silently at his back.

Few minutes passed en none spoke a word and feeling he was a little calm now she started speaking.

"pata hai sir?training ke waqt hame sikhaya jaata hai ki apne colleague,senior ya junior officers se professional ke alawa koi aur relationship rakhna ni chahiye. Kyunki ek ETF officer kisi bhi situation me weak hona afford ni kar sakta.

Sayad issliye humne aapko aur rathore sir ko hamesha strict dekha hai.

Pehle lagta tha aap dono hame sirf apne teammates maante hain,per aaj pata hai aap dono hum sabke liye kitni care karte hain ,bas dikhate ni hai.'

"mai kisiki care nahi karta.na iss team ki, aur na hi tum logon ki.ETF join karna meri ek galti thi.'

Arjun spat angrily,to which she let out a smile.

"aur iss galti ko sudharne ke liye aapke pass chance aya tha na sir? Per aapne team ni chhoda.itne waqt me hum aapko itna toh jaante hain sir ki...'

"kuch nahi jaanti tum mere bare me Riya.'

He roared cutting her words off in middle.

"ye khayal pane dimag se nikaldo ki mai iss team ke liye care karta hun.jo mere raaste me ayega mai usse chhodunga nahi. Achha hoga agar tum sab ye baat apne chief ko samjhao.

"thik hai sir mai maan leti hun ki apko iss team ki fikr nahi.

Per aap hame toh itna jaante hain ki hum iss case se back off ni karenge,aap chahe ya na chahein hum uss ghati me jaayenge.

Ab ye toh aap ko bhi pata hai wahan kitna khatra hai ,toh decision apko lena hai .

Aap apne team ke sath rehke sabko safe karke case solve karna chahte hain,ya akele jaake apna mission pura karna chahte hain."

She finished giving him a small smile before walking away, when he looked away clenching his jaw.

"Ayesha discussion ka koi faida nahi hai,hame chalna chahiye.wahan pahunchne ke liye time lagega.kisi bhi tarah se aaj ye case close karna hai hame .let's go."

Rathore chirped curtly eyeing his wrist watch then started leaving his cabin,making Ayesha sigh in defeat.

By the time both Rathore & Ayesha reached the conference hall Riya too approached them on the same time;hence all her friends turned to her with hopeful eyes.

Sighing Riya shook her head ,and rathore's voice grabbed their attention.

"team all set? Maine police ko bhi inform kar diya hai wahan pahunchne ke liye.Let's go."

"yes sir."

All chorused before following him ,while Riya glanced towards Arjun's cabin for the last time then left.

"sir,srafaraz keh raha tha ki jafar ne uspe attack kiya .agar Jafar zinda hai toh vo dead body kiski hai jo factory se mili thi.?"

Chhotu questioned thoughtfully on their way.

"ho sakta hai Sarfaraz ko galatfemi hui ho.aur agar vo sach keh raha hai toh ho sakta hai Jafar khudki maut ki jhutha natak kar raha tha ,taaki uska record clear ho jaye aur Shikander ki gang join kar sake."

Rathore explained.

"per shiaknder jaisa terrorist Jafar jaise ek mamuli gangster ko apni gang me kyun lega.?"

Ayesha piped in curiously.

"arey Ayesha shikander jaise terrorist aese hi cities pe kabza karte hain.chhote mote gangs ko apne taraf karke dheere dheere sab kuch control karr lete hain.Pathan lala last admit ha jo Mumbai me shikander ke liye kaam karta tha,uske jail jaane ke baad koi aur toh usse chahiye hi."
