"Saari ladkiyan aa toh gayi ho na? Koi bacha toh nahi hai?" Asked Anuradha Ma'am looking at the girls to which they nodded.

She did the head count and confirmed that there were 15 girls.

"Waise tum logo ko aur zaldi aa jaana chahiye tha. Lagta hai subah uthne ki adat hi nahi hai kis ko. Chalo ab, aur late hua toh train chhut jayegi."

They were about to go when they stopped hearing a voice.

"Itni zaldi kya hai Ma'am?" Asked Sana while coming towards her with Sidharth and other police officers.

Anuradha Ma'am's face grew serious seeing it.

Sidharth went to her and said, "Women trafficking ke racket mein shaamil hone ke liye aap ko arrest kiya jaata hai Ms. Anuradha Jaiswal."

"Kya bakwa hai yeh? Kya shaboot hai aap ke paas ki main inn sab mein shaamil hu?" She asked angrily but from inside she was hell scared.

"Well shaboot toh nahi tha humare paas. Aur aap pe toh kisi ka shak bhi nahi gaya. Ek dance teacher woh bhi ek aurat, women trafficking jaisi chizo ke saath kaise shaamil ho sakti hai? Nah! Possible hi nahi hai. Lekin kehte hai na, har criminal koi na koi galti zaroor karta hai, aur ek galti aap ne kiyi."

Sana also came to her and said, "Ladkiyon ko extra classes ke bahane aap apne ghar rokti thi. Unke saath aise ghul mil jaati thi ki woh log aap ko apna dost maan ne lagti thi. Kyu ki aap ki baatein hi itni friendly hoti thi. Phir aap unhe iss dating app ko use karne ke liye provoke karti thi jaha pe woh killer naam ke profile se milti thi jo ki aap logo ke gang ka banda tha.... Yaa phir main kahu aap ka beta."

Anuradha Ma'am widened her eyes hearing that.

Sidharth smirked and said, "Mrs. Nalini Mishra aur unka beta Raghav Mishra dono do saal pehle Bhopal se idhar Delhi aaye the. Yaaha pe dono iss racket ke saath shaamil hue. Mrs. Nalini Mishra apni identity badal ke ban gayi Ms. Anuradha Jaiswal, apni Anuradha Dance Academy khol liyi aur uska beta Raghav online dating app pe ladkiyon ko fasane laga. Kuch mahine pehle upar se bada order aaya tha isliye ladkiya gayab hone ki rate achanak badh gayi. Inn 15 ladkiyon ko bhi Jaipur mein le jaa ke bechne wali thi, hai na Nalini Ji?"

Nalini Ji looked down understanding that she was totally exposed while the girls became shocked and scared.

"Aur aap ko paata hai aap ki galti kya thi?" Asked Sana. "Baki ladkiyon ko toh aap logo ne pakad ke unke phones destroy kar diye. Lekin Navya ke paas ek extra phone tha jis se woh aap ke bete se baat karti thi aur aap se bhi ek do baar baat kiyi thi. Uss mein Raghav ke kuch voice messages the jaha pe background mein ek halka sa tune aa raha tha. Aur woh tune aap ke gramophone ka tha. Yaad hai? Aap ka favourite tune? Tabhi mujhe aap pe shaq hua. Phir humne pata kiya ki Jaipur mein koi inter-state dance competition nahi ho raha. Aur aap ke baare mein baki sab kuch bhi police ne paata kiya. Aap ke bete ka chalo samajh aata hai, mardon wala ego... lekin aap ek aurat hoke aisa kaise kar saki woh bhi apne hi students ke saath? Sharam aani chahiye aap ko."

Sana looked at Nalini Ji with disgust, her eyes were teary.

"Arrest karo inko." Said Sidharth and two female constables locked her hands with handcuffs.

Sana wiped her teary eyes and said looking at the girls, "Even sharam tum logo ko bhi aani chahiye. Bina pata kiye ki actually mein koi dance competition ho bhi raha hai yaa nahi, tum log inke saath chali? Itna bharosa? Koi online platform pe tumse do acchi baatein karega aur tum usko apna dil de baithogi, jaha woh bulayega uss se milne chali jaogi? Bina yeh jaane ki uske intentions kya ho sakte hai, kya kya kar sakta hai woh tumhare saath. Pyaar karna galat nahi hai lekin pyaar mein andhe aur bewakoof ban jaana galat hai. Because at the end aap ki safety aap ke haathon hai."

The girls nodded agreeing with her. The police started taking Nalini Ji away.

"Jaate jaate ek news sun li jiye. Aap ke bete Raghav ko uske gunahon ki saza mil chuki hai. Uska encounter kar diya hai humne." Said Sidharth making Nalini Ji shocked. She started crying silently while Sidharth left from there paying any attention to her.

After sometime, Sidharth said to Sana, "I'm sure Nalini Ji aur Raghav sirf mohra the. Inke jaise aur bhi honge jo yaaha ladkiyon ko influence karte hai aur unki kidnapping karte hai. Yeh mil gaye hai toh baki log bhi mil jaayenge aur inn sab ka mastermind bhi. Kuch dino ke andar hi yeh pura khel khatam ho jayega."

Sana smiled and said, "I know. ACP Sidharth Shukla ke haath se koi nahi bach sakta."

Sidharth chuckled at her words.

After sometime, they went to Sana's home where both Gill and Shukla families were present. As Sana went missing, Rita Ji, Ashok Ji and Preeti came to console her parents and assure them that everything would be fine.

"Mummy...Papa..." Uttered Sana being emotional seeing her parents and was going to hug them.

"Arrey mera puttar.... Abhi baatati hoon tujhe ruk...."

Parminder Ji came forward and started slapping her on the arms making her shocked.

"Arrey Mummy maar kyu rahi ho?... Ouch... Lag rahi hai...Aaaa..."

"Kya zaroorat thi zyada bahaduri dikhane ki, haan? Zyada badi ho gayi hai? Tujhe toh aaj acche se baataungi."

"Mummy main ladkiyon ko bachane gayi thi... You should be proud of me...."

"Ek glass pani toh khud se pee nahi sakti. Ladkiyon ko bachane chali thi?"

"Aise waqt mein bezzati karna zaroori hai kya?...Ahh...Papa bachao!"

Sana ran and hid behind Santokh Ji making others laugh.

"Pata hai kitni pareshan hogayi thi main? Ek hi toh beti hai meri." Said Parminder Ji making a crying face.

"Sach mein teri Mummy ka ro ro ke bura haal tha. Aur main bhi bohut ghabra gaya tha." Said Santokh Ji.

"Accha sorry. Phir nahi hoga aisa." Said Sana making a pout and then hugged her parents.

Rita Ji and Ashok Ji smiled seeing it.

"Waise Sana, yaaha pe koi aur bhi hai jisko tumhari bohut fikar ho rahi thi, hai na Bhaiya?"

Saying that, Preeti gave Sidharth a teasing look to which he glared her.

"Sach mein behen ji, aap bohut khush kismat hai jo aap ko Sana jaisi beti mili hai. Jo apni jaan ki parwa kiye bina baki ladkiyon ki jaan bachane akeli chali gayi." Said Rita Ji caressing Sana's head.

"Khush kismat toh aap log bhi hai jo Sidharth aap ka beta hai." Said Santokh Ji.

"Sach mein. Woh nahi hota toh meri bacchi mere paas sahi salamat khadi nahi hoti. Shukriya beta." Said Parminder Ji.

"Aunty koi baat nahi. Yeh mera farz tha. Waise bhi Sana akeli kaafi hai apne aap ko protect karne ke liye." Said Sidharth looking at Sana making her smile.

In few days the whole racket got exposed and everyone who was behind this was arrested. They rescued more girls and the masterminds were also got caught who were some businessmen and political leaders. Delhi became a safer place for girls than earlier.

After few months...

It was evening time and Sana was sleeping peacefully in her room.

"I love you too Sidharth... Kab se sapne mein aa ke sirf propose hi kar rahe ho... Ab toh baat aage badhao... Ek pappi hi de do...." Murmured Sana in sleep while smiling when her mother entered the room.

"Yeh ladki kya barbaraye jaa rahi hai nind mein? Sana... Sana uth!"

Parminder Ji started shaking Sana breaking her sleep.

"Kya hai Mummy? Sone kyu nahi deti?" Asked Sana getting up while yawning.

"Jab se boards khatam hue hai tab se toh soye hi jaa rahi hai. Yeh nahi ki ab free hai toh Mummy ki thodi madat kar de, ghar ke kaam kar de. Aise hi chalta raha na toh teri bhi shaadi karwa dungi. Ban jaana phir meri tarah housewife."

"Mujhe toh apna career housewife mein bhi nahi dikhta...." said Sana giggling only to get a death glare from her mother.

"Waise meri bhi matlab?" Asked Sana changing the topic. "Aur kiski shaadi ho rahi hai?"

"Sidharth ki." Replied Parminder Ji to which Sana widened her eyes.

"Kya?" She freaked out.

"Haan abhi Rita Ji ka call aaya tha. Unhone kaha Sidharth shaadi ke liye maan gaya hai. Kehta hai koi ladki already hai uski life mein aur uss se zald hi milwayega. Mujhe bhi jaan na hai kaun hai woh ladki. Uski pasand hai, kharab nahi hogi."

Meanwhile Sana became sad hearing the news.

"Acchi hi hogi... Mujhse toh kaafi acchi hogi." She whispered with a sad pout.

"Kya kaha tune?"

"Kuch nahi.... Accha aap ek cup coffee bana ke dogi? Aankh nahi khul rahi."

Parminder sighed and said, "laati hoon. Naukar hi samajh ke rakha hai mujhe dono baap beti ne."

Parminder Ji left from there and Sana immediately took her phone.

She was about to dial Sidharth's number but stopped herself.

"Main kyu call karu? Pagalon ki tarah toh main hi unke peeche padhi thi. Unhone koi commitment thodi diya tha mujhe jo main cheated feel kar rahi hoon? Main ab bilkool call nahi karungi. Ulta main unki shaadi mein jaa ke thus thus ke khaungi aur barat mein full nagin dance karungi. Itna enjoy karungi taa ki unko lage mujhe koi fark hi nahi padta. Huh!" Said Sana in her mind making faces.

Suddenly her phone rang and she saw Sidharth's name on the screen. She immediately cut the call.

"Mujhe nahi karni baat iss akdu se."

Her phone again rang and this time she couldn't cut it.

"Kya hai? Phone nahi utha rahi toh samajhna chahiye na ki busy hoon?" Asked Sana angrily after picking up the call.

"Busy? Aur tum? Woh bhi boards ke baad?.... Hahaha! Nice joke!"

Sana got more more angry hearing Sidharth's sarcasm.

"Listen I'm not joking. Aap phone rakhiye bas." She said.

Before she could hang up, Sidharth said, "Arrey suno toh sahi. Important baat karni hai tumse."

"Mujhe nahi karni aap se koi baat. Aap apni hone wali biwi se ki jiye jo bhi baat karni hai."

"Kya kaha?" Asked Sidharth being confused.

"Jo aap ne suna. Shaadi kar rahe hai na aap? Toh uss hi ladki se baat ki jiye. Mera kyu time waste kar rahe hai? Faltu nahi baithi hoon main."

Now Sidharth understood why she was angry and mischievously.

"Toh yeh baat hai? Kisi ko jalan ho rahi hai?"

"Mujhe nahi hoti jalan valan."

Sidharth laughed and said, "Chhoro, sab paata hai mujhe. Filhaal mujhse milne aao, tumhare ghar ke bahar wale khali jagah pe khada hoon."

"Main nahi aa rahi. Apni hone wali biwi ko bulao."

"Uss hi ko bula raha hoon."

"Kya matlab?" Asked Sana frowning.

"Woh toh milke baataunga. Ab aao fatafat. Gadhi!"

Before Sana could say anything further, Sidharth hanged up.

"Kya unhone indirectly mujhe apni hone wali biwi kaha?" Asked Sana to herself and her cheeks turned red.

She immediately got dressed, put light make up and came out of her room.

"Mummy mein thodi der ke liye bahar jaa rahi hoon." Said Sana while leaving.

"Arrey par teri coffee...."

Before Parminder Ji could finish, Sana said, "Aap pee li jiye."

And she left.

"Yeh ladki bhi na!" Said Parminder Ji nodding her head in disbelief.

Sana reached the place where Sidharth called her and saw him waiting. But today he was not in his police uniform, he was wearing casual clothes.

"Baataiye kya baat karni hai." Said Sana showing fake attitude.

Sidharth smirked and asked moving towards her, "Kyu? Bohut zaldi hai kya tumhe?"

"Of course hai. Kaha na zyada faltu time nahi hai mere paas."

Sidharth leaned closer to her and said huskily, "Agar main kahu propose karna hai, toh?"

Sana gulped being nervous as he was standing too close.

Still she maintained her poker face and said, "Toh kariye na. Khamkha waqt kyu barbaad kar rahe hai? Yaa phir propose karna aata hi nahi aap ko?"

Sidharth chuckled and said, "Sahi kaha. Mujhe propose karna nahi aata. Kya karu? Bohut unromantic hoon na? Humesha cases, criminals inn sab ke alawa kuch aur dekha hi nahi. Plan tha ki kabhi shaadi nahi karunga kyu ki mera kaam hi aisa hai, family ko time nahi de paata, aur life risk toh hai hi. Main nahi chahta tha ki meri future wife ko yeh sab jhelna padhe. Phir tum aayi meri zindagi mein. Pehli baar kisi ladki ko dekh ke dil mein kuch hua. Par maine uss chiz ko ignore kiya yeh soch ke ki tum bacchi ho. Ek toh mujhe shaadi karni hi nahi thi upar se humare age gap ki wajah se main aur piche hat gaya. Jab tumne propose kiya tha toh ek pal ke liye mujhe bohut accha feel hua tha, ek alag si khushi hui thi. Lekin phir maine khud ko roka. Yeh samajhaya ki tum abhi nadan ho, jab badi ho jaaogi toh tumhara yeh pagalpan chala jayega aur tumhe apne umar ka koi mil jayega. Par tumne kabhi mujhpe give up nahi kiya. Main naa bolta gaya aur tum usko haan karwane ke liye mere piche padhi rahi. Dheere dheere ehsaas hua ki main tumhare iss pyaar ke jaal mein buri tarah se fas chuka hoon. Isliye tumhe uss ladke ke saath dekh ke gussa aaya, jab tum akeli mission pe chali gayi toh har pal tumhari fikar satati rahi. Sach mein bohut zyada pyaar kar baitha hoon main tumse. Bohut pehle hi confess kar deta but tumhare board exams ke liye ruka tha. Ab jab boards khatam ho gaye aur Maa mujhe shaadi ke liye constant pressure de rahi hai toh soch raha hoon tumhe unse milwa hi doon as my would be wife."

Sana paused for a while and said, "Aise hi milwa doge? Puchhoge nahi ki main kya chahti hoon?"

"Iss mein puchhna kya hai? Ms. Shehnaaz Gill...."

Sidharth took out handcuffs from his pocket and said, "You are under arrest for the rest of your life."

Sana giggled and said, "Aap ko toh sach mein propose karna nahi aata. Rehne di jiye. Aap woh hi ki jiye jo aap ko sabse behtar aata hai."

Saying that, she forwarded her one hand and Sidharth made her wear one side of the handcuffs.

"Ab mujhe di jiye."

Saying that, Sana took the handcuffs and made Sidharth wear the another side.

"Mere saath saath aap bhi arrested ho gaye." Said Sana giggling.

Sidharth smiled and pulled his hand bringing her closer to which Sana gasped. She felt goosebumps feeling her from close. This feeling was totally new to her. She was feeling excitement and nervousness at the same time.

"Kya... kar rahe hai...a..ap?" Asked Sana shyly without looking at him.

"Romance... Apni hone wali biwi ke saath." Whispered Sidharth looking at her with love.

Sana also looked at him and playfully, "Public place mein romance karna rules ke khilaaf hai Mr. Unromantic Akdu ACP."

"Bhad mein jaaye rules. Abhi tumhare saamne koi Akhu Unromantic ACP nahi, ek lover boy khada hai."

"Accha ji?"

They both chuckled together and brought their faces near while closing their eyes. Their lips met and they started kissing softly showing their love for each other.
