Next Day
"Miss Malik hum late ho rahe hai..!" Agent Phoenix knocked on Haseena's room door as they are getting late for their flight. "Bas do minute sir...!" She reply back irritatedly. "Kya hua..?" Anubhav asked to Ravi and Imran who are waiting for Haseena.
"Aapki Haseena ji ab tak bahar nhi aayi hai sir...!" Ravi complained like a class fellow. "Tum dono Laila par nazar rakho hum dekhte hai..!" Anubhav said, Imran and Ravi looks at him with teasing smile.
"Kaam karo dono apna...!" Anubhav said with fake anger. They suppressed their giggles and left from there.
"Haseena ji...!" He knocked on the door. "Aa rahe hai sir bas do minute...!" She replied in loud voice. "Koi pareshani hai toh hum sahayata kar de?" He asked.
"Aa gye hum..!" She said after opening the door. "Chale?" "Date par?" She said flirtatiously. He smiles and says "haan date par woh bhi Delhi..!"
"Hum bag lekar aate hai..(he hummed and turned when she called him) SIR..(he turns towards her) maa se baat huyi aapki? " "Nhi, hum jab tak report nhi kar dete hum maa ko nhi bata sakte, kya pata phir mission par jana pade...!" She hummed sadly.
"Agent Phoenix kahan hai?" She asked, looking for her senior. "Woh Laila ke upar nazar rakhe huye hai..!"
"Aur kaam hi kya hai...😒" She said tauntingly. He bit his bottom lip to hide his smile. "Hum unhe bula kar late hai...aap wait kariye...!" She said. He nodded yes.
New Delhi
"Jai Hind Sir...!" Anubhav greeted the head of Raw. "Jai Hind..aao baitho..!" He gesture at the chair which was opposite to his. "Sir Ministry se order mile ya nhi?" Anubhav asked plainly.
"Abhi kuch dino ke liye toh tum mission ko break de do kyunki Kabul mein jo tumne aur team ne kiya hai uske baad security aur badh gyi hai isliye abhi Gibraltar jana mission ke liye safe nhi hai..!"
"Par sir is baar woh hamare haath se nikal jayega....badi mushkil se chuhe ko bil se nikala hai agar phir under ground gya toh aapko hi problem hogi..!" Anubhav said calmly but his senior could clearly understand his pain behind the calmness.
"Aisa nhi hoga..agar tumne yeh mission achhe se pura kar diya toh shayad ministery apna irada badal de.!"
"Sir, unke irade law ke aage kuch nhi kar payenge aur hamare saath hua uske baad humare RAW ko chhodna hi padega..!" He said sadly.
"Hum jante hai Anubhav par tum khud dekho tumhare andar maujood antidote ne kitna accha kaam kiya hai..virus ka jyada asar nhi hua tum par...!" His senior tries to boost his self confidence.
"Sir hume apna aap se koi pareshani nhi bas bura is baat ka lag raha hai ki yeh hamara aur Arjun ka last mission hai..Arjun ke halat aur hamare nishan hum dono ko majboor kar rahe hai apna farz beech rah chhodne par...!"
"Hum jante hai tum dono ko bura lag raha hai, Tum dono abhi desh ke liye aur bhi bahut kuch karna chahte the par kya kar sakte hai..*feeling bad for Anubhav and Arjun* khair yeh batao Laila kahan hai, kuch bataya usne?"
"Ji..." They starts their discussion about the mission and Laila.
Other side..
"Imran..Sir kahan hai..?" Haseena asked Imran who is busy with Ravi. "Anubhav sir ya Agent Phoenix?" Imran asked. "Hum Anubhav sir ie barr mein puchh rahe hai...Agent Phoenix toh shayad RAW ke head se milne gaye hai..!"
Ravi looks at Imran and then Haseena. "Anubhav sir bhi unke saath hai, aap baith jaiye...!" Ravi answered nervously. "Aap kaun hai aur ek second aapko dekha hai humne.!" She said suspiciously. "Ravi..yaad jab aapko training ke test ke time kidnap kar liya gya tha..tab main bhi the Agent Phoenix ke saath...!" He answered. "Achha...waise ek baat puchh sakte hai hum...!" She said while sitting beside them.
"Haan...puchhiye..!" Imran said after sharing a look with Ravi. "Anubhav sir bhi RAW agent hai?" She asked. "Nhi..woh ab agent nhi hai..!" Ravi replied. "Ab nhi hai matlab?" She asked worriedly.
"Darasal ek saal pehle ek mission ke time..Anubhav sir ek virus ke sampark mein aa gye jiski wajah se unke upar kuch side effects ho gye...!" Ravi said sadly. "Koi antidote nhi mila?" She asked with hope. "Woh...(Imran holds Ravi hand to stop him, Haseena notices it) aap sir se baat kar lena" Imran said. She hummed.
"Ravi...tumhare liye Arjun sir ka call hai..!" Another officer said passing a phone towards him. Haseena was in deep thoughts when she heard Arjun name, she quickly looks at Ravi and then the officer. Here Ravi took the phone from the officer.
"Ji sir hum headquarter mein hi hai.....haan.....thik hai......!" Ravi disconnected the call and said "Haseena aapko sir andar bula rahe hai...!" Haseena, who is in still in shock looks at him with surprise.
"Hume..par kyun aur yeh Arjun hai kaun?" She asked in one go as her past memories starts flashing in front of her eyes. "Aap chaliye hamare saath, aapko Sare sawalon ke jawab mil jayenge..!" Imran said. She hummed and went with them.
"Haseena baat samjho, main nhi aa sakta is waqt kaam hai mujhe...!" Arjun said on phone.
"Tumhara kaam humse badh kar hai?" She asked angrily.
"Haan...!" Arjun said and hung up the call.
Haseena's POV
"Insaan kitna bhi apne ateet se bhaag le par bhaag nhi pata, humne bhi Anubhav sir milne ke baad khud ko apne ateet se door karne ki koshish ki par hamari kismat hume phir se us ateet ke yaadon ko baar baar kisi na kisi jariye se hamare paas lekar aa rahi hai...Arjun jise humne apna humdard samjha tha woh hume dard dekar beech raah mein aise chhod gya ki usne hume kisi par yakeen karne layak nhi chhoda...aur phir uska naam hume us ateet mein le ja raha hai jahan humne apni ammi, apna parivaar khoya..jazbaaton wali ke jazbaat samjhne wala jo tha usne bhi hamare jazbaat nhi samjhe...!” She smiles sarcastically on her faith.
Pov ends.
"Jai Hind Sir...!!" Ravi and Imran saluted Arjun, which broke Haseena's thought. She looks at them and Arjun.
Her wet eyelids slowly rise and she looks at Arjun, but as soon as her gaze falls on him, she is shocked to see her best friend's condition. He is sitting on a wheelchair but still has that adorable smile on his lips that melts even a stone.
"Kya hua Miss Malik..aap hume aise kyun dekh rahi hai?" Arjun asked, raising his brows. "Ku..kuch nhi..Ar...Arjun...!" Her unconscious mind is trying to face his past.
"Sir...(she shrinks her forehead) senior hai hum aapke...!" Arjun said, while gesturing Ravi and Imran for privacy. "Ji samjh gaye..!" She said. Ravi and Imran silently left from there. "Aapne hume yahan kyu bulaya sir?" She asked formally.
"Kyunki aap hai jo agent Phoenix ke saath shuru se anth tak mission mein hai aur rahengi...aapko aadhi jankari toh hai hi mission ki baki ki aadhi hum dono aapko abhi batayenge...!" Arjun said, moving his wheelchair towards his desk.
"Dono?" "Agent Phoenix abhi aa rahe hai, aap baith jaiye tab tak..!" He said with a smile. "Aur Anubhav sir?" She said hesitantly. He smiles at her. "Nhi woh is mission ka hissa nhi hai, kyunki ab woh RAW ka hissa hi nhi hai..!"
"Aap ho sakte hai toh woh kyun nhi?" She asked in bit angry tone. "Kyunki aap jis mission par hai woh pehle hum dekh rahe the...use yahan tak hum lekar aaye hai, blast ke karan hamara yeh haal ho gya hai warna hume aap ki zaroorat nhi padti...!" Arjun answered calmly.
"Woh toh hum jante hai sir, bina zaroorat ke aap logon ko puchhte bhi nhi...!" She taunted him. "Personal taane baad mein Miss Malik...!" He said with a smile. She rolled her eyes at him.
"Coffee ya chai?" Arjun asked. "Kuch nhi...bas doori chahiye thi tumse..!" She said coldly. "Tum humse milkar khush nhi ho kya?" Arjun asked.
"Jo hua hamare saath, tumhe lagta hai ateet ke kirdaaron se milkar hume khushi hogi...!" She said tauntingly. "Usme meri toh koi galti nhi thi...!" Arjun said.
"Nhi tumhari galti nhi thi, galti hamari thi jo humne yakin kiya tum par aur Tumhe dekh kar aaj phir wahi puraane ghaav fir hare ho gaye hai Arjun, ...isliye tumse doori hi behtar hai hamaare liye, kam se kam anjaane mein bhi woh purane rishte toh nhi judenge..!" She said sarcastically, as her old wounds are re-opening.
"Agar dooriyon se rishte tut jaya karte toh hum jaise officers saalon tak apno se door rehte hai... Woh toh bina rishton ke ho jate..!" Arjun said calmly.
"Nhi Arjun..antar hai un mein aur hum mein, un rishton mein vishwas aur sachai rehti hai, hamare beech woh 5 saal pehle hi khatm ho gya, jab humne bade vishwas ke saath tumhe call kiya tha par tumne hamara saath nhi diya isliye na chahte huye bhi hume tumse nafrat si ho gyi hai...!"
"Sach mein...phir mujhe is haal mein dekh kar bura kyun lag raha hai tumhe...?"
"Kyunki dost the tum hamaare...shayad usse jyada, par jo tumne kiya uske baad ab kuch nhi ho tum hamare...!" Arjun smiles at her.
"Ab smile kyun kar rahe ho tum?"
"Hum uttar de is sawal ka?" A voice interrupts them.
