the camera focuses on a beautiful house

a lady can be seen adjusting her clothes and walked out of her room with pure rage and hatred in her eyes. she is revealed to be prachi  who head towards a photo hanging on a wall. the photo was of her college days when she was with her sameer.

"i love you sameer"
"i love you too prachi"
"i am sorry ms mehra but sameer is no more"

she took out a photo of ranbir and glares at it dangerously.

"chaar saal ranbir kholi, chaar saal mai apne sameer ki maut kar tarpi hoon par ab tarapne ki baari tumari hai. kabhi nahi bhool sakti voh din jab maine apne sameer ko koya tha. chaar saal ke intezaar ke baad aaj jake mujhe ye mauka mila hai iss junooni nafrat ko nibaane ka aur vaada hai ye tumse ki mai iss nafrat ko joror nibaugi"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ranbir's house:-

ranbir was in his office room in his deep thoughts. his hands were solving the Rubik's cube while he concentrated keenly.

"kuch toh hai usme. meri hal ek chaal ka tod rakta hai voh. bari smartly usne mere trap ko mere against use kia. doosri baar mai usse pakarne mein nakamiyaab ho gaya par ab nahi. uss tunnel mein jab mai gira toh voh awaaj kiski thi (he leaned back on his chair as the memory replayed in his mind) mujhe aisa kyu laga ki maine kisi ladki ki awaaj suni thi. iss baar mujhe ek bara jaal bichana parega." taught ranbir and stood up to go talk to aryan.

he walked towards the door and as he opened, he bumped into someone who was revealed to be prachi. the file in her hand fell as she gripped on his shirt. ranbir instantly grabbed her waist preventing her from falling and both met each other's eyes. when their was amusement in ranbir's eyes, there was pure hatred in prachi's eyes. she instantly drifted apart from him. ranbir smirked as he forwarded towards her making her go back. But her face remain hardened and her hands moved towards her back and gripped on her knife. he soon caged her between his arms and the wall.

"2 minute late ho. wajah jaan sakta hoon" said ranbir smirking. prachi crossed her arms.

"kisi se ek waada kar rahi thi" answered prachi gazing straight in his eyes without flinching.

"really! kaisa waada. dosti ka (he brings his face closer to hers) saath nibane ka ya pyaar ka" said ranbir bringing his face closer to her leaving a small gap. prachi eyes hardened on the mention of 'pyaar'.

"uh huh maarne ka" said prachi glaring straight in his eyes.

"uff (says ranbir closing his eyes and open them with a devil look on his face) maarne ka wada, itni nafrat kisi se, kaun hai voh kushnaseeb" said ranbir smirking.

"hai ek par yaha mai kaam karne aayi hoon meri life discuss karne nahi" said prachi glaring in his eyes.

"fine (ranbir removed his hands and stepped back a bit smirking) but don't you know ki ye restricted area hai bina meri permission ke yaha koi nahi aa sakta." said ranbir coldly.

"lekin mujhe toh iske baare mein kisi ne inform nahi kia par sochne ki toh ye baat hai ki mai dark rider ke office room mein aa gayi aur kisi ne mujhe roka bhi nahi. isn't it interesting, very interesting" said prachi smirking in the same way astonishing ranbir. for the first time, he felt loss at words.

Aryan entered the office room and saw ranbir close to prachi.

"tum yaha kya kar rahi ho" said aryan coldly but ranbir stopped him.

"isse apna work area bata do aur phir team ko bulao" ordered ranbir without removing the eye contact. aryan gazed at his brother bewildered but still nod.

"aao mere saath" ordered aryan coldly. prachi started following aryan maintaining her gaze at ranbir.

"Interesting, very interesting" said ranbir with a smirk.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

aryan lead prachi to her work area.

"yaha par tum kaam karugi but mind it, kisi bhi restricted area mein bina permission ke entry allowed nahi hai" explained aryan. "ho tum ranbir ki assistant par tumhe mere business related files bhi handle karni hogi. ye gautam industries ki deal finalize karni hai. aur ek baat ka dyaan rakna ki koi galti nahi honi chahiye. jaise hi kaam katam ho, mujhe office room mein aake milna" said aryan coldly and handed her the details. (guys mujhe business related kuch nahi pata so please pardon me)

prachi nodded and started working on those files. aryan left from there to meet ranbir. prachi first observed her surroundings and saw one cctv camera. she started to work on the files.

------------------------------------------------

A dark room:-

the camera focuses on two person working on a computer and they revealed to be arjun and karan. they both were keenly observing the camera prachi was secretly carrying.

"karan iss camera ko tumhe hack karna hai aur ek hi video loop mein play honi chahiye samje." explained arjun.

"thik hai" said karan and started hacking the camera. after 15 minutes, he managed to hack the camera and set a loop. "arjun ho gaya" said karan. arjun instantly pressed a button on his watch.

--------------------------------------------------

A green light popped in prachi's watch and she checked her surroundings, on finding no one, she took out an air pod and put it in her ear and hid it with her hairs.

"Arjun transmitter ko activate karu" whisper order prachi.

"kar raha hoon prachi" came a reply from arjun making her smirk evilly.

Flashback

when prachi exited the room following aryan, she sneakily put a transmitter outside his room.prachi remembered her conversation with karan.

"prachi ye micro size transmitter ko ranbir ke room ke bahar laga dena, isse waha par jo bhi baate hogi voh hume sunayi de jaygi. par ek dikkat hai, iss transmitter ko tum bas 15 minute ke liye use kar sakti ho."

Flashback ends

"prachi on hai" said arjun and prachi listened to transmitter.

----------------------------------------------------

ranbir's office room-

Ranbir called his team in his room.

"maine tum sabko yaha par issliye bulaya hai kyuki humara ek consignment aaj yaha se nikle ga. tum sabko pata hai pichli baar humare consignments ke saath kya hua tha. iss baar tum sabko chokarna rehna hoga. voh shadow slayer hamare consignments ko churane ki zaror kosish karega aur hume ye hone nahi dena hai. understood." said ranbir in his cold tone. he signed aryan to turn on the map on screen. aryan turned on the map.

-------------------------------------------------

prachi and her men could not heard the rest of the conversation as the transmitter time limit ended.

"arjun tum aur vicky baaki logo ke saath lekar iss consignment ko steal kar lo par dyaan se." whisper ordered prachi.

"thik hai prachi aur suno tumhe abhi voh transmitter waha se hatana parega abhi. ranbir ke cleaner 3 baje ghar ki safai karege aur unhe voh transmitter nahi milna chahiye." said arjun.

"voh tum mujhpe chor do, aur call katne ke 3 minute baad camera mein se voh loop hata do abhi." said prachi. she hung up the call and put her air pod back. As per her order, the camera was back to normal. she checked the time on her watch 2:15 p.m. and immediately started working on the file. As soon as she completed the work, she started to head towards ranbir's office room. Walking up to the office door, she quickly removed the transmitter and hide it. she knocked on door and waited for the response.

-----------------------------------------

the camera focuses on a isolated road surrounded by a jungle where a truck can be seen travelling. the camera then focuses in the jungle where a person could be seen. the shadow of the tree hid his face.

he smirked as he saw the truck approaching. he slowly came out of the shadows and was revealed to be vicky.

"arjun truck pohac raha hai" informed vicky connecting his air pod.

"sab taiyaar ho jao aur mere signal ka wait karna" said arjun. they waited for the right moment. "Ab" ordered arjun and everyone came out in their bikes and surrounded the truck. there were two people and single bike. the truck driver got alert on seeing the bikers. the person the passenger took out an Ak-47 and started shooting outside. arjun took his gun out shoot him in the head. the driver increased the speed of the truck but one bike got near the driver seat, on seeking the perfect opportunity, the person sitting behind the biker jumped towards the driver seat. he took out his gun and slammed it on the glass breaking it. he immediately opened the door and shoot the driver and got on the driver seat. he then stopped the truck. As soon as the truck stopped, everyone got off.

"satvik van leke aao" ordered arjun connecting his airpod. "saara cargo ko check karo aur usse van mein daal ke base mein le jao." ordered arjun. he moved towards the back door and opened it and got stunned.

"hello"

--------------------------------------

(this is before the theft)

"come in" came a reply from inside. she entered the room and saw only aryan in the room.

"gautum industries ki file." said prachi. aryan walked upto her and took the file from her hand. he started checking the details while her gaze wandered in the room till it landed on the screen. there was something off on the screen and her eyes widened with shock.

"tumara aaj ka abhi katam hota hai. toh abhi jao aur kal late mat hona." order aryan and closed the door. she immediately nodded and hurriedly went out.

"mai kaise usse underestimate kar dia. kyu nahi mere dimaag mein ye baat aayi." murmured prachi as she got out of the building. Making sure no one is following her, she head towards an isolated garage and immediately called arjun but his phone was unreachable.

"arjun phone kyu nahi utta raha, aisa pehle toh kabhi nahi hua" taught prachi, she then called karan. his call got connected on the first ring while she entered the garage.

"karan arjun kaha hai" asked prachi hastely.

"prachi voh toh ranbir ke consignment ki location par gaya hai" informed karan making her fear grow.

"usse abhi bolo vapas aaye" ordered prachi.

"thik hai" informed karan and started to get connect to arjun. "prachi arjun ka phone out of coverage hai. par voh truck coverage area mein. iska matab kisi ne network chips ka use kia hai" said karan worried.

"karan mujhe consignment ki location abhi send karo" ordered prachi. she instantly changed into her biker clothes and got on her bike and headed towards the consignment location.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"hello" the words shocked arjun as he saw ranbir kholi himself in the truck smirking evilly. he instantly draw his gun at him when many cars came and surrounded them and aimed gun at them.

"dark rider inn sab se bolo apni guns drop kare varna mai tumhe shoot kar doga" threatened arjun pointing his at ranbir. ranbir chuckled at his threat and give him his devil look.

"Interesting, very Interesting" said ranbir smirking evilly. "mai toh dar gaya dekho mai haath kaap rahe hai" taunted ranbir showing his shaking hands and laughed evilly. "maarna hai maar, c'mon shoot me" said ranbir approaching arjun. arjun was about to pull the trigger when some smacked his arm from behind. the gun dropped from his hand. ranbir grabbed his collor.

"tch tch tch gun toh gayi, ab kya karega toh." taunted ranbir smirking. arjun maintained his stern face not fearing from him.

"maroge tum." said arjun directly on ranbir's face. ranbir raised his eyebrow at his threat.

"maroge mai, kaun maarega tum, ye log (pointing towards other men) ya shadow slayer" smirked ranbir. "vaise usse bilkul accha nahi lagega na ki mai maar do" said ranbir as he punched arjun in the stomach. arjun groaned in pain falling back but punched ranbir back in the face. he stumbled a little but maintained his balance and turned to arjun with his devil look.

"oh ho bache ko gussa aa gya, mujhe maara tune, dark rider ko tch tch tch punishment toh mili" saying ranbir started punching arjun badly. arjun fall on the ground with all the beatings when something flashed in his eyes. he looked towards the light source and found prachi on her bike hiding behind a tree. she showed him a flash grenade and signed him to be ready. arjun secretly conveyed the message to his other men and stood up ignoring his pain facing ranbir.

"ab mujhe bata ki sh*Flash* the flash grenade caused ranbir and his men to go blind. As arjun and other had closed their eyes, they were perfectly fine. Using the opportunity, they quickly got on their bikes and started escaping. As soon as ranbir got their vision back, he saw them escaping and on other side saw prachi on her bike wearing a helmet.

"picha karo aur maar dalo unko" ordered ranbir and his men instantly started chasing them. ranbir instantly took bike out of the truck and head towards prachi.

----------------------------------------------------

arjun and others speeded their bikes through the jungle with ranbir men on their tail. ranbir men started shooting at them. three bikers fall off after getting shot.

"vicky jaldi nail bomb daalo" ordered arjun and vicky instantly dropped the nail bomb stopping ranbir's men. they continue to escape from there when more of ranbir men came there in cars. the guys sitting on the back of bike started shooting at them. arjun instantly connected his airpod with prachi.

"prachi ranbir aadmi aate hi jaa rahe hai. humare liye unhe tackle karna mushkil hota jaa raha hai" informed arjun.

prachi was speeding through the jungle roads and reached the city with ranbir on her tail. she saw ranbir's hand on his ears and understood that he is too using the airpods.

"ranbir airpods ke through apne aadmio ko contact kar raha hai. mujhe ye connection todha parega par mere pass net chips nahi hai" taught prachi. "karan" said prachi. "haa prachi." came a reply from karan. "meri location ke paas jo hamara farmhouse hai waha ki net chips activate karo aur lights band kar do." ordered prachi. "thik hai prachi (he waited for 2 minutes) prachi net chips on hai aur saari lights off hai." said karan. prachi speeded the bike towards farmhouse.

"arjun meri baat dyaan se suno. unhe traffic areas ki taraf lead karo. voh tumhe traffic mein follow nahi kar payege" ordered prachi. ranbir took out his gun and started shooting at her and some bikers came and surrounded prachi. she took her gun out and shot each one of them with perfect aim.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

ranbir followed prachi inside the farmhouse and saw that finally shadow slayer had stopped. prachi rushed towards the main hall when ranbir came in front of her and both aim their guns at each other.

"empty hai" said ranbir smirking.

"tumari bhi" said prachi deepening her voice with the same smirk.

"Intersting, very Interesting" said ranbir astonished "socha nahi tha ki tum ek ladki niklogi. Am impressed. bahut bagaya hai tumne mujhe par ab aur nahi. count down suru kar do apni saanso ka." said ranbir smirking.

"count down toh maine bahut pehle suru kar dia tha" started prachi smirking evilly "tumari tabahi ka" said prachi and both started heading towards each other with a devil look.

(guys i am not good at writing fight scenes so i have picked a video from youtube. before you see the video, imagine that both are wearing mask and all the lights are turned off so there is very less light in the farmhouse and they can't see each other faces. the lights in the farmhouse were dim but they still could see their bodies.  just watch till 1:55.)

(before going ahead, prachi had blocked all face punches)

slammed into the door, prachi instantly stood up ignoring the pain. ranbir entered the room and attempt to kick her but she moved to do the side and punched him hard in the stomach. ranbir stumbled back to the hall. he grabbed a vase and attempt to strike prachi with it but prachi grabbed his arm blocking him and kicked him in the stomach 3 times and throw him on the floor. his head hit with a wooden table making it hard for him to concentrate.

"phir milege ranbir kholi" said prachi in a deepened voice shocking him before heading out. ranbir also followed her out ignoring the throbbing pain in his head but she already escaped from there in her bike. he moved towards his bike. "sahi kaha shadow slayer zaror milege hum. itna betaab toh mai apni zindagi mein kisi se milne ke liye nahi hua hoon." said ranbir.

-------------------------------------------------------------

the camera moves to ranbir's room where sahana could be seen tending ranbir's wounds.

"bhai ek baat pocho" asked sahana.

"pooch" said ranbir.

"ek ladki se pit kar kaisa lagg raha hai" said sahana trying to hide her laughter. ranbir glared at her but she started laughing.

"sahana tujhe pata hai yaha bahut saare sewel tunnels hai" said ranbir shutting her laughter instantly.

"vaise bhai aapne socha kya hai. uss shadow slayer ka kya karna hai" asked sahana changing the topic. he stood up and walked towards the window.

"haa bahut socha hai. bahut special plans hai mere dimaag mein uske liye. pehli baar zindagi mein ek ladki par itna interest aaya hai." said ranbir smirking.

the door opened and aryan enters the room.

"ranbir tum thik ho" asked aryan.

"haa mai thik ho. unn bikers ka kya hua" asked ranbir.

"ranbir 3 bikers ko maar dia par baaki bhaag nikle" informed aryan "lekin unke phone mujhe mil gaya hai" said aryan handing the phone to ranbir.

"inn numbers ko track kia" asked ranbir.

"nahi ranbir. hamare aadmio ne kosish ki par inn saare numbers ki location ek hi jagah bata rhaa hai par waha par koi nahi hai. humare aadmio ne check kia hai. lagta hai ek advanced hacker ka kaam hai" said aryan.

ranbir started to scroll through contacts and he saw only three contacts with many calls. 1#priyansh 2#A and 3#P. "A sayad voh arjun ho sakta hai. priyansh sayad unme se hi koi ek gang member aur ye P shadow slayer" said ranbir. he pressed the dial button and bring the phone to his ears.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

the camera focuses on a van travelling through roads of city. inside a van, a lady could be seen tending prachi's wounds.

"prachi chote zyada gehri nahi hai par in sabko barne mein waqt lagega. tumhe phir zyada cohkarna rehna parega. tumari ek galti bhi tumhe bahut bari mushkil mein daal sakti hai. uss ranbir ko underestimate mat karo. bale hi tumne abhi usse hara dia par agli baar voh aur savdaani se hamla karega" advised the lady who was revealed to be kriti.

"sahi kaha tumne, mujhe uss ranbir ko underestimate nahi karna chahiye." said prachi.

"ab kya karna hai prachi" asked arjun from the driver seat.

"barosa" said prachi. "hume apne doosre plan par focus suru karna hoga. uski saari confidential files ka pata lagana hai aur ek ek karke uska sab kuch tabha kar dogi. aur uske liye mujhe uska barosa jeetna hoga" said prachi when her phone started to ring.

"manoj" said prachi seeing the call.

"par manoj toh mar gaya hai" informed arjun. "toh phir ye kaun hai" asked arjun.

"ranbir" said prachi. she moved to the back of van and picked up the call.

(prachi is talking in a different voice)

"laga nahi tha phone uttaogi tum" said ranbir smirking.

"lagta hai tum abhi ki maar yaad bole nahi ho" replied prachi with the same smirk.

"yaad hai na sweetheart and am impressed. mera naam jaanti ho, mujhe takkar dena jaanti ho, mere plans ko bhi takkle kar leti ho. impressive" smirked ranbir.

"agar itna hi yaad hai toh ye bhi yaad hoga ki tumari tabahi ka count down suru ho chuka hai" said prachi.

"i don't think so sweetheart (he leaned against the wall) countdown toh suru hua hai par ye kya anjaam lega ye toh waqt batayega" said ranbir smirking and hanged up the call.
