At Naina's house

Swamun, Preedit, Samaina, Sunanda, Krishna, Kamya and Hemant are celebrating the success of their mission. The Prime Minister himself congratulated them over phone and they also got to know about the success of the surgical strike. Though he wanted to give credits to all of them, he knew he couldn't.

So many events have occurred in the past 48 hours, Naina recalls, standing by the window, gazing at the night sky.

Flashback:

N: No...it cannot be him!

Aj: Shit! It's her....now she will know everything!

A shocked Ajaz looks at an even more shocked Naina. Coming out of the shock, he notices that she's distracted and his cunning brain decides to use this opportunity to escape!

He immediately runs to her and knocks the gun off her hand, taking it in his. He immediately holds her and places the revolver on her head. All these happen in flash of seconds and all are equally dazed.

Aj: If you don't want to see her dead, it's better you let me go from here!

Coming out of the shock and registering her situation, the sensible fighter in Naina comes to the front as she back kicks him, making the gun fall off his hand. Picking it up, she points it on his head. Ajaz is shocked by Naina's move. Naina signals Kamya and she comes towards him, with handcuffs.

Naina smirks and says

N:Don't think women are weak!! We can defend ourselves!  Ready for the conclusion your crimes deserve Mr.Ajaz Khan? Or should I say Mr.Arjun Aggarwal??

Arjun glares at her and says:

A: This was a wrong move Naina! My men won't spare you!

N: Oh! Is it? They can plan an attack only if they are left alive right?

A(shocked): W..what do you mean?

N: You will get to know soon Arjun Bhaiya!!

Kamya, who is shocked listening to this, still keeps the question for a time later.

Hearing Arjun Bhaiya, Kartik's mouth hangs open and he has this dumb expression on his face. Having handcuffed Ajaz urf Arjun, Kamya turns to see Kartik and his dumb expression. An already astonished Kamya( by the revelations), gets irritated by his dumb expression and punches him in the face, making him fall down!

Soon, all the men are taken to the godown. Poor Kartik starts shivering in fear! The last time he was brought here, he lost his fingers and got punched and stuff in all places! It's a different thing,he had been here all this while!

Only Kamya and Naina are with them. The armed officers have already departed. Now it's upto the ladies to get him to confess his other crimes!

N: I don't think I have to ask you how, what etc, so get started.

Arjun has an angry expression on his face and dosen't respond anything.

As they say, "Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi maante", some slaps and punches from Kamya and Arjun starts spilling everything!

He tells how he met the real Ajaz Khan, venturing into terrorism,the real Ajaz dying, him taking that name and growing in the terrorist world, training under terrorists, lying to Bela about it, becoming famous, his missions, expanding bases, anti-Indian thinking, Bela getting to know about Naina being alive, showing her photo and telling about the hospital, then she discovering his true identity, he locking her up to keep his secret safe, she dying of suffocation and shock in the room, he meeting Kartik, the racket and finally the Big Plan!

Naina is in tears listening to Bela's death! She might not have known her so well or been very close to her, but still, she was family! Naina slaps Arjun on the face.

N: What had she done so sinful to have a son like you?! How could you kill your own mother? You are a bloody demon who dosen't deserve any sympathy!!
And now, you will pay for it!

A: What are you saying?

N: You know, dirt and stains need to be cleaned immediately! Else if left, they will only increase and deepen! You will have to die and don't worry! Your men will soon join you!

Before Arjun can react, she shoots his legs. He yelps in pain. She then shoots his hand.

N: This is for killing Bela Chachi!

And finally shoots his head.

Her gaze then falls on Kartik, who is shivering in fear! She immediately looks at Kamya who's already looking at Kartik, with irritation and disgust!

N: Kamya, what should we do with him?

K: Shoot him!

Kartik's eyes widen with horror.

Kartik: Please don't kill me! I will do whatever you want me too. Please don't kill me!

Naina signals something to Kamya and she nods. She holds Kartik by his collar and takes him away!

Flashback ends

Sameer: What happened Naina? Why are you standing here? All others are there in the hall na?

N: Nothing Sameer! Was just thinking of all that happened in the past 48 hours. I know killing Ajaz urf Arjun was the right thing to do. But still, the thing that I killed someone, it's disturbing me!

S: It's understandable Naina! This is because you are a good soul and when you are one, the mere thought of hurting others, however bad they are, leaves you disturbed. But it will be alright, because what you did was right!

N: Hmm..How is Uma?

S: She's stable now, but she needs a lot of time and care for recovery!

N: Hmm..
          ____________

The news of the surgical strike has spread like wildfire! All the citizens are celebrating this, as this meant a move to avenge the deaths of brave soldiers!

Almost all of Ajaz Khan's bases have been destroyed! Few people, who have survived, have fled the place. Now that their leader wasn't there, they had no intention to continue as terrorists!

aakritisinghh02 this is the conclusion for Showdown, so it's not so long. We are nearing the end of the story, so the update will be of this much length only!😅

Lovingly,
Pratyu
