Chapter 17
Everything checked and
rechecked, the ETF team was out on their mission. It wasn't a simple task to provide
security to a high class, lavishly organised, reputed gathering of some well
known heads. Many things needed to be taken care of. One single mistake and the
whole team suffers for it.
Arjun was unusually calm
during the last bit of checking done, while Rathod was in a furious mood. He
was continuously blasting on everyone, sometimes even without their faults. Arjun
tried to calm him down once but a dead angry glare from the furious beast and
he kept shut.
The ETF reached the venue an
hour in advance and instructed the duties to their respective security officials
who would be at the entrance of the giant hall, where the party was supposed to
be arranged. The organizers and the performers had already arrived and had been
checked before they walked inside the hall and then the backstage.
They took their respective positions
as discussed in their plan of action. Shree would be waiting outside the venue inside
the vehicle at a distance from the venue, keeping a check on the CCTV footages
and the people entering the party. Riya would keep a check backstage and
control the media, while chotu would be with the back up teams, at two
different places from the venue. Riya had already researched about the people
in the guest list and all of them were well known people.
Politicians, industrialists,
social workers and artists. The owner and some officials at the orphanage where
Yogesh contributed loads of donations recently and has been called as the chief
guest for their annual event, had been invited too. Arjun and Rathore would be inside
the party, keeping a check at the security inside.
Formally dressed Rathore and
Arjun waited inside the venue for all the guests to arrive. Since all of them
were high society people, each of them were accompanied by their body guards. Arjun
and Rathore looked on while the guests took their seats inside lead by Yogesh's
manager and a lady from the event organizing company.
Finally at the nick of time arrived
the host of the evening, Yogesh Shikhawat, dressed in a two piece expensive
business suit, looking sophisticated. He came in showing off his wealth and
luxury. Arjun and Rathod looked on while he greeted each guests individually
and shook hands with them.
Arjun is a son of an
industrialist and such parties weren't new to him. But the smile and the look Yogesh
posed showed something else to the ever thinking out-of-the box man. He looked
at rathod and found him looking at yogesh with a deep frown. He wasnt really
looking at him, he was lost in some deep thoughts.
Arjun walked to him and called
him in a soft whisper. Rathod looked at him and nudged towards yogesh,
'ye aadmi ko maine pehele
kahi dekha hai, before we got this case, kaha dekha yaad nehi,'
'sam, tv pe, paper mein, har
jagah yahi faila hota hai, wahi dekha hoga,' he replied,
'Nehi arjun, meine kahi aur
dekha hai, kuch baat hui thi..' he replied thoughtfully,
Their conversation was
broken by a loud voice. Yogesh had took the mike on the dias to welcome his
guests.
********
Aisha reached mumbai in the
morning hours of the day before the party. She was accompanied by yogesh personally
to one of his 7 star hotels, and was allotted the best room for her. She would
perform at the party hall of this hotel itself.
She was instructed by Yogesh
to keep herself ready for the evening. They had a charity function to attend at
an orphanage.
Yogesh departed leaving
behind a smiling Aisha at her doorstep. But aisha was more disturbed than he
could have thought. She searched the room for cameras and hearings devices but
didnt find any. She searched the other rooms, the washrooms, nothing unusual. She
relaxed and called one of her informers to gather information about manisha. This
girl was something that Yogesh was scared of.
She freshened quickly and walked
out looking around the place. Since the place was owned by Yogesh, she couldnt
trust anyone. He must have kept some spy behind to keep a watch on her. She
would have done had she been in his shoes.
She walked towards the dining
area and took her seat. She was treated well and she too replied them in a nice
gesture. She ordered some food and ate it quietly. She finished her meal and stood
up to go back when her phone rang. She looked at it and walked out of the
hotel.
She chose a lonely corner near
the swimming pool and picked up the call. She didnt speak a word but listened
to the caller attentively. Her eyes wide and were continuously roaming around.
This time she wasn't disappointed. One of the sweeper was cleaning the floor
was following her close. One of the watchers.
She looked around more
carefully this time. There were CCTV cameras all over the place. She couldn't
risk of any small slip inside the hotel. She kept the phone down and looked
around enjoying the beauty all over.
It would bring danger if she
took any unusual step. She calmed herself down and walked to her room. She
needed to prepare for the evening. She picked out her dress and checked the tiny
mini portable camera she always carried with her. She attached that to the
dress and checked if its visible to a vulture's eye. She had to hide it
carefully.
Everything done properly she
was ready for the evening. It wasnt much adventurous as she had expected. The
orphanage officials took good care of their chief guest but they hardly looked
at the girl who accompanied him. Yogesh noticed it and looked quite offended. Later
he spoke to them and suddenly Aisha found them taking immense care of her.
She tried to ask Yogesh
about the meeting and the deal but he was too reluctant to answer her questions
and ignored. She didnt probe further. She had her ways of getting the answer. She
had been informed of the party scheduled next evening, where she was to perform
in her most charismatic tune.
The day ended with Yogesh's endless
tries to woo his lady love. But to his misfortune this lady wasn't that easy
yet. Aisha retired for the day smiling to herself. She was feeling proud of her
resolute and thus getting closer to the success of her mission.
She had her informers roaming
about giving her the required information about him and his much hideous work.
She turned her side on the
bed clutching her pillow softly to her head but sleep was no where near her. The
visit to Mumbai wasn't as pleasant as she had imagined. She had left this place
in rage and anger. But her comeback was in a even worse self. Even after the long
distance and separation from 'him', her heart had always desired to meet him.
Sameer, she had not seen the
man for the past 8 months now. She hadn't thought she could miss such a
irritating fellow, who took advantage of her dizziness, but the fact was she
was missing him. Whenever she sat quietly with a cup of coffee she would miss
him, looking at her like an ignored kid.
The irritated, flared
nostrils when she would take him between a huge crowd and watch the sparkling
lights with loud blasts on a celebration night, the happy grin which always
brighten up his face, when they strolled on the dark beach occasionally teasing
each other, the careless mistakes, the misplacing things, her hidden innocent drooling
session when he came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around. She was
missing everything,
All these moments ran
whenever her mind got the little time to spare for him. And everytime it played
it brought a smile to her lips. But the smile would fade the next moment when she
would remind herself the last night they spend together.
Her trust was betrayed by
him and then her decision of getting divorced wasn't wrong after that. But everytime
she thought about the incident, her instincts always betrayed her. She still
couldn't convince herself completely that the man she had known could treat her
so carelessly.
She flung the cushion at the
wall and dig her head on the bed. She shouldn't miss him. She should be happy
with her decision of divorce, but she is not. She closed her ears trying to
stop herself from listening to her beating heart, which was shouting sameer
with every beat.
She lay flat on her back,
eyes wide awake waiting for the morning. It would be another long day and if
her instincts were to be trusted, it would be tougher than any other day.
*************
Yogesh took the mike and
greeted his guest. He had a special tone of welcoming his guest which was attractive
and appealing. A distorted smile always lingered on his lips, when he shared
pleasantries with his female guest, even the old ones.
He gave a brief introduction
to the theme of the party and the later entertainments, followed by a special
song for the evening by one of his finest performer which aroused the crowd. He
came down to take his seat with some of his aged guests while the organizer started
with the different programs.
Rathod and Arjun was too
skeptical about this man and the looks he gave. They kept a close watch at him
and the people he mingled with. They were moving towards the either ends when they
heard Riya speak loudly in her microphone, ouch!!! tum?'
Rathod looked Arjun. He had
heard too. He was pressing the ear edge with his forefinger trying to hear
more, inbetween the loud music and sound in the hall. Rathore instantly tried
to talk with her but her ear edge had been switched off. He found Arjun
sprinted towards the backstage when he called him through the connector.
'tum yahi ruko, keep an eye on
him,' rathore spoke and ran towards the back stage passage. Arjun relunctantly
waited at the hall, worry was pretty visible on his face.
*******
Some time back at the back stage..
Riya was checking
the surrounding when she found a few men speaking in hushed tone inside the
store room at rear end of the stage. She found it suspicious and moved towards
the ajar door. She was trying to figure out what they were talking about when two
of the men came towards the door. Riya panicked when she heard the footsteps
arrive and moved towards the stage. Her footsteps were audible to one of them
and they came running towards her. She was sweating trying to hide herself, but
she knew few steps close and they would find her.
She was
preparing herself for a fight when she felt a strong arm hold her elbow and pulled
her inside a room, quickly locking the door. Riya turned back to the source, planning
her next karate move but was stunned to find Aisha standing there.
Aisha had seen
the men going towards the store. She had seen some of them speaking to Yogesh
at pune. Yogesh called them his appointed managers controlling different
sections of work. She had followed them towards the store room when she found
another shadow coming from the other end. She hid herself in the darkness and looked
carefully. She recognized riya and it shocked her.
Aisha was
confused at her presence and quickly turned to leave when she heard the door creek
and she run towards her. Before the men had almost caught hold of riya, so aisha
pulled her inside the dressing room.
Riya was utter
shocked at the sudden impulse and turned to find Aisha standing there. She
flipped on a stool and hurt her ankle,
'ouch!!! Tum?'
she spoke up.
Aisha quickly
came close to her and removed her microphone and switched it off.
'Shh, Riya, tum
yaha? Kya ETF yaha hai? Tumlog yaha kya kar rahe ho?' she asked her,
Riya was giving
her a brief introduction to their appearance when Rathod banged opened the
door.
Aisha and Riya
both turned towards the intruder and found the man standing with a raised gun
pointing to them.
'Aisha?' a soft
whisper left his lips, while Riya and aisha turned and looked at a shocked and confused
Sam.
