Karan: HE IS THE IMPOSTER SR - SAKSHAM RAY!!
FLASHBACKS
The very next day after the swap, everyone started noticing the changes in Shivam. He kept on trying to go close to Monami, helping her in the kitchen with an excuse to learn all the chores to impress Nisha. Running away from Nisha, not paying any attention towards her as if he really didn't care. He was least interested in going to the hospital for work. He usually stayed at home and tried knowing about the mission, going to hospital only when Monami also had to go and givng more and more excuses to everyone. For a normal civillian, the first thing that would strike in their mind would be : IS HE OKAY? But is it that easy to fool a whole team of special agents?
(Readers to me : Waise to normal civillian bhi itna sab dekh ke shaq karne lagega... )
(Me to SR: Jab shivam ban na nahi aata to kyun chala aaya mun uthake?)

STUDY ROOM ( two days after the swap)
Karan was siting on the chair thinking about all the changes in Shivam since the day he had returned. suddenly someone knocked the door.
K: Come in! (after seeing the person) Nisha? Kya hua?
N: Karan wo... wo mujhe ek help chahiye thi..
K: (understood her hesitation) Shivam ke baare me right?
Nisha looked at him in shocked but then reminded herself that he too was an agent that too one of the best. If she doubted Shivam then the same doubts would have been developed not only in Karan but also everyone else's mind.
N: Hmmm..Karan mujhe kuchhh theek nahi lagraha I mean.. kuchh ajeeb saa hai.. Aisa lagraha hai jaise ye Shivam hai hi nahi... Jaise shivam kisi musibat me hai..
Karan was hearing her patiently. But as soon as he heard the sentence "Aisa lagraha hai jaise ye Shivam hai hi nahi " something suddenly striked his mind.
K: Nisha.. urgently sabko meeting room me bula.. and make sure hamari team ke alawa kisiko pata naa chale urgent meeting ke baare me.
Nisha understood that something was going on inside Ulti Khopdi's mind. She nodded and immediately messaged everyone. Though it was night time, everyone except the agents were in deep sleep. The team saw the message and rushed to the meeting room. None asked anything as they knew something was wrong.
K: I know aapsabke man me yahi sawaal hai ki itni raat ko mere urgently sabko yahan kyun bulaya.. Dekhiye its not about KD and SR ya unki gang... par yeh problem shayad unsabse related hai... Coming straight to the point, I know aap sabke dimaag ke aajkal Shivam ko leke bohut doubts honge... am i right?
Everyone nodded in yes. Indeed they all were tenssed and confused seeing the drastic changes in Shivam.
Karan switched on the monitor. All were confused seeing the screen. It was the safe house's map. It had some dots on it along with names. In no time they understood that they were the trackers.
K: Nisha.. Filhal abhi Shivam kahan hai?
N: Apne room me hi hai.. Mene check kiya thaa.. he was sleeping..
K: ab aap sablog iss map pe dekhiyee.. here are we all, in the meeting room.. Yeh meeting room me 6 dots and hamare naam.. Yeh monami jo ki apne hi room me hai... Yeh bhaiya bhabhi ke room me wo dono aur Baby... Map pe sabke locations and ghar me unke locations... sab same hai... Par Shivam ka location?? NOWHERE IN THE HOUSE..
Faizi: Jabki Nisha ka kehna hai ki Shivam apne hi room me hai..
sanju: Iska mtlb yo jo hamare saath ghar me hai.. wo shivam nahi.. konu beharupiya hai..
Sid: Kya bolrahi ho Sanju.. Shivam bro ka beherupiya kaun hi hoga..
Koel: Saksham
All looked at Koel with wide eyes..
koel: I mean Shivam ka beherupiya Saksham hosakta hai.. Afterall dono twins hi hai.. par i am not saying that i am sure.. Aur waise bhi Saksham to US me hai..
Nisha: EK MIN! Sablog apne opinions baaad me dena... Karan.. MInd if i ask yeh trackers kab aur kahan lagaya tumne?
Karan: Ek agent ko apne sources hamesha secret rakhne chahiye.. yeh baat to tum bhi jaanti ho na Nisha?
Nisha just looked down. She knew all the protocols but still she didnt want to doubt Shivam. Deep down in her heart she knew that if the person with them isnt Shivam but someone else, it would mean that Shivam is in danger.. Tears formed in her eyes but being an agent she was able to control herself.. Sanju went to her and placed her hand on her shoulder. Nisha took a deep breathe and looked back at all of them.
K: Nisha, i know tum kya sochrahi ho.. And wahi doubts mujhe bhi hai.. but we need to consider all the possibilities. Also, dont worry about the protocols. Dekhiye sabke trackers ke baare me to me nahi bataunga.. bas itna batasakta hoon ki trackers mene ussi din lagaye the jiss din hum safe house me shift hue the.. i had a doubt ki KD kaise na kaise koshish karegi humpe attack karne ki.. isiliye safety ke liye mene trackers lagwaye the...Ab wo trackers kahan hai wo batana safe nahi hoga.. lekin Just informing about Shivam, uska tracker uske ring me hai..
Everyone were shocked hearing that they were being tracked since many days and they had no idea about that.. no matter how good commandos they are, Ulti Khopdi is always a step ahead. Amongst all this something striked in Sid's mind.
Sid: Waise jiju bro.. (karan glared) Umm.. abb. i mean SIR aisa bhi to hosakta hai ki Shivam bro ne ring nikaldiya ho aur wo kahin gum hogaya ho?
Nisha: Wo ring uske haath me hi hai.. And wo nikal nahi sakta.. ring bohut tight hai..
Sanju: To aisa bhi to ho sakto hai.. ki Shivam ne ring theek karwaya ho aur je tracker ussi waqt misplace hogaya ho!
K: Sanju is right... Yahi reason hai ki mene abtak Shivam pe action lene ka nahi socha hai.. Kyunki it is possible ki tracker misplace hogaya ho..
Faizi: Lekin Karan itne loopholes me hamara shaq to shaq banke hi rahega na..
K: mere paas ek plan hai... Yeh confirm karne ke liye ki aakhir maanjara kya hai..
ALL: Kya??
K: Faizi, headquarters me report karke shivam ke tracker ki location pata laga.. agar tracker jissi jewelry shop me misplace hua hoga to uska location bhi usike aaspaas milega.. zyaada se zyaada 1.5km ki range me... Nisha, u have to go deep in the personal aspects to know ki kya problem hai.. Aisa bhi hosakta hai ki hamara shaq galat ho.. yeh shayad sahi me Shivam ho... but usse kuchh baat ander se trouble karrahi ho... And baaki sab.. apne apne kaam pe lagenge.. we all have to act normal jaise hume kuchh maalum hi nahi... log aksar wo baatein sunke ghabara jaate hain jinse unka koi secret connected ho... I hope baaki sabko samajh aagaya hoga unhein kya karna hai?
All: (smirked and said) YES SIR.
(KUCHH DIALOGUES NEECHE ITALICS ME LIKHE HAIN.. THEY WAS BASICALLY THEIR PLAN WHICH WAS DISCUSSED IN THE MEETING JO KI MENE UPAR MENTION NAHI KIYA THA.. YEH SAMJHLO KI FLASHBACK KE ANDER AUR FLASHBACK)
They all started their plan the very next day. The "so called taang khichai session" was clearly their plan and they got all the hints seeing the fumbling Shivam. Shivam calling monami as MONU DARLING gave them a confirmation that this wasn't Shivam.
"hume usse usike jaal me phasana hoga.. and for that we have to check his phone"
SR had no idea that his phone was cloned. Mtlb KD aur SR wali baatein bhi unlogon ne badme meeting hall me sunli.
"wo agar KD se mila hua hai to definitely usse hamari planning chahiye hogi.. aur hum usse saamne se wo mauka denge"
Accordingly Karan had asked monami to be a part of the mission along with Shivam (SR) and Param taaki SR ko shaq naa ho..
"hum usse wo plans denge jiske fail hone ke chances sabse zyaada hai.. Monami aur bhaiya ko mere strategies kuchh had tak maalum hai... to wo plan sunke unhein gadbad lagega par yeh imposter ko yahi lagega that we are serious"
Aur jaisa ki Karan ne expect kiya tha, Monami aur Param plan sunke shock hogaye the.. Par SR had a calm face. After than Karan got the call from headquarters.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Karan: Yeh SAKSHAM hi hai.. Headquarters se msg aaya hai.. Shivam ki ke tracker me fault nahi hai bcoz wo abhi bhi active hai... Uska tracker kisi jeweler shop ke paas nahi... Sheher se dur ek purane ghar me show horaha hai... Which means hamare saath jo abhi ghar me hai.. Its not Shivam..
Nisha : Par karan.. Yeh Saksham hai.. Yeh kaise bolsaktein hai?
Faizi: Hum batate hain.. Humne headquarters me sirf shivam ke tracker ke baare me hi nahi.. Balki Saksham ke recent locations and all ke baare me pata karne ke liye bhi kaha tha..
K: And insabse pata chala hai.. Ki saksham pichhle kuchh mahino se hi India me hai.. Wo kabhi US me tha bhi nahi.. And uska phone abhi bhi active hai.. Jiska location hamara safe house show horaha hai..
Koel: (to sid by whispering) Bewakoof hi hai yeh pakka..
Sid: (same tone) Wahi to.. Ek saath itni galtiyan karliya bechare ne..
Koel glared at him.
Sid: no.. I mean..non bechare ne.
Sanju: Je isne Galtiyan ki ya jaan bujh ke yeh kaarnaame kiyo hai.. Yo tane kaise pata..
(she had heard indono ki khusur phusur)
Koel and Sid stayed quiet. Suddenly their eyes fell on Nisha who was now emotional and was lost in her own thoughts.. Karan signed Sanju and Sid to consol her..
Sidsa: Nisha (putting their hand of her shoulder)
Nisha: (looked at them) Ah..wo..sorry..me thoda..
Karan: Nisha...(she looked at him) Bahar jaake fresh hoja..
Nisha: karan i am fine..
Sanju: Nisha.. Chal hamare saath..
Karan: Yeh meeting hum kuchh der baad conduct karenge.. Most probably shaam ko.. Aage ke plans bhi tab hi discuss karenge..
All left the room except Faizi. He was about to leave when Karan stopped him.
K: Faizi... Wo.. Baby ke school pe jo attack hua tha.. Mujhe uss waqt ki cctv footages chahiye.. School ki cctv agar band ho to aaspaas ki recordings, kisike phone ki recording... kahin se bhi wo sab mujhe chahiye.. aur SR ke call records bhi.. mere personal laptop pe...
Faizi being his bestfriend could sense that something was bothering Karan.
F: Kya baat hai Karan... yeh sab achanak se?
K: Mission se related sab kuchh achanak hi hota hai.. tu bas yeh sab dedena.. please..
He said this and left thee room leaving Faizi behind.
F: (in mind) Isse achanak kya hogaya??
