''tum khush ho na Sanyukta?..'' he rose his brows....''bahut..'' she chirped in dismay...he wrapped her in his embrace...a couple of tears escaped her orbs......
Days passed...Randhir continued his investigation.... One day he found the place where the terrorist head was located....he stepped in arrogantly....
''toh aap aa hi gaye janaab!..'' a voice startled him...he followed the voice....
on going a little inside he found man sitting alone on a wooden armchair!....he was wearing a black salwar kurta with a white and black keffiyeh wrapped around his neck!...
''janaab...aap toh kaafi tez nikle!..dhoondh nikalaa aapne mujhe!..'' he dawdled and came near him....
''tum ho Rafeeq Anwar?...'' Randhir chipped.....
''ji bande ko hi Rafeeq Anwar kehte hain!..toh kahiye kya khidmat karein aapki?..'' he smirked....
''yeh toh mujhe pata hi hai ki tum ek aatankwaadi ho...aur uski sazaa toh tumhe mil hi jayegi! Lekin tumhari mujhse kya dushmani hai?..mujh par attacks kyun karwaaye tumne?..'' he pulled his collar....
''arey batata hun A.C.P sahab...pehle gireban toh chhodiye!..'' he freed himself from Randhir's hold...
''bolo..'' Randhir mumbled...''humare bhaijaan ko maut ka jo tohfa diya tha aapne...uska shukriya bhi toh ada karna tha na janaab!..'' hefrowned...
''tumhara bhai?...'' he gazed at him...''bhool gaye aap kitni berehmi se maara tha aapne humare bhai jaan Taufeeq Anwar ko?..he burbled...
''oh toh tu uss kamine ka bhai hai...tab toh koi hairani wali baat nahi hai..'' he smirked....''ab toh aap humare ilaake mein hain...aur aapki jaan bhi humare haath mein hai...'' he smirked and patted his shoulder...
''jaan toh tumhari mere haathon mein hai...jo haal tumhare 'bhai jaan' ka kiya tha usse badtar maut tumhe milegi!'' he shoved him angrily....''pakad lo ise...'' Rafeeq yelled and ordered his goons to attack Randhir..but to utter surprise the men caught Rafeeq...
''tujhe kya laga main akela aaya hun yahan...chaal chalni hum policewalon ko bhi aati hai....'' he smirked....''achha nahi kiya tune A.C.P....mujhe toh giraftaar kar lega tu...par tere apne hi, tere aur tere desh ke dushman hain..unka kya karega? Kaise dhoondega apni hi aasteen mein chhupe saanpo ko? '' he chipped mysteriously...
''kya bakwaas kar raha hai tu?'' Randhir muttered....''himmat hai toh khud pata laga le!'' he smirked....''le jaao ise'' he shoved him furiously...and the inspectors and constables took him to jail....
Randhir was in a dilemma....he was wondering who it could be!
ENGAGEMENT DAY
Randhir was lost in thoughts...suddenly a soothing hand touched his shoulder....he turned..
''umm..Sanyukta..tum!'' he looked at her from up to down...
she was looking damn pretty in her attire....she was wearing a beautiful lehnga for the engagement!..
''bahut khoobsurat lag rahi ho...'' he passed a faint smile..''thanks...par tum itne worried kyun lag rahe ho?'' she sat beside him and carresed his head....''kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha Sanyukta!...maine tumhe bataya tha na ki humne uss terrorist ko arrest kar liya hai...pata nahi woh kya bak raha tha...mere apne mere dushman..aasteen ke saanp! Bloody bullshit!tabse m hell worried and confused'' he uttered in one go...
''Randhir..i think wo sirf tumhe misguide karne ke liye bol raha hoga ye sab...don't take it too seriously..'' she tried to calm him down....''hufff...ithink u r right...mujhe itna nahi sochna chahiye...!.(holding her hand) aur vaise bhi aaj humari engagement hai...mera pura dhyan toh tumpar hona chahiye...'' he smiled cutely..
