24. 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙊𝙛 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣

ᴍᴏɴᴀᴍɪ'ꜱ ᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴠɪᴇᴡ

I looked at Charu's dead body, breathing heavily when I murmured Karan's name and dropping his gun, he rushed to me and took me in a bone crushing hug.

As soon I separated from Karan, everyone started to question me about my wellbeing whereas I continued to assure them that I am fit and fine.

"Mona lekin tujhe aur Sid ko kaise pta ki tumhare fathers safe hain?" Koo interrogated and everyone looked at me and Sid for the answer whereas I quickly stole a glance at my bestfriend and we inhaled deeply.

I peeked at everyone and started, "Voh actually....."

Few Minutes Ago
(When Monami and
Siddharth walked out)

I was walking away with Sid being furious, I had to do something about this!

Our fathers have no connection with this! They just can't get involved in this mission! I and Sid just can't loose them when we just got them and their love back!

That's when my phone rang as both I and Sid stopped together, hearing the ring and I peeked at the screen of my phone which displayed Tilli's name.

Sid peered at me and I swiped up, answering the call while putting it on speaker, I said, "Hello, Tilli?"

"Monami? Sid?" we heard two voices, our fathers... Papa and Avi Uncle!

A wide emotional smile came across mine and Sid's lips as we held eachother for support as Sid enquired with his trembling voice, "Daddy G, Deep Uncle ji bro.... Aap dono thik ho?"

"We are perfectly alright Sid! Tum aur Monami kaise ho?" enquired Avi Uncle.

I inhaled deeply and spoke up trying to control my sobs, "Aap thik ho na toh bas hum bhi thik hain..."

"Monami, ro rahi ho na? Wipe your tears! Meri Juhi ki sherni rote huye acchi nahi lagegi!" said Papa chuckling and I laughed as well.

Suddenly I realised that they called from Tilli's phone and so I interrogated, "Tilli tu vahaan hai?"

"Ji Doctor didi!" answered Tilli and I sighed in relief.

I glanced at Sid as I questioned, "Tilli tune Papa aur Avi Uncle ko filal kahaan rakha hai?"

"Monami hum abhi kisi hideout type ki jagah par hain..." answered Avi Uncle instead.

Whereas Papa continued, "Voh humpe kuch logon ne attack kiya tha aur firing krdi lekin hum vahaan se jaise taise bachkar nikal gye aur phir hume Tilli mila jo hume yahaan le aaya..."

"Daddy G aur Uncle ji bro aap dono mein se koi apne phones use nahi kroge and switch them off, till the time hum aapko allow na kren!" Sid was the first one to command.

"Aur, jab tak hum aapko na kahen aapko Tilli ke saath rehna hoga. We are sorry hum aapko zaada nahi bta sakte...." I ordered out of concern, we can't risk loosing them.

That's when Avi Uncle interrogated, "Monami and Sid, anything serious?"

"Koi mission?" Papa uttered.

"Sort of." I and Sid answered.

"Tilli, phone speaker se hata aur baat sun." I said.

A moment passed and that's when I heard Tilli enquire, "Ji Doctor didi kahiye..."

"Meri baat dhyaan se sun Tilli. Yeh mission jab tak pura nahi hota, humare fathers ko safe rakhna teri zimmedari hai... I know maine hi tujhe kaha tha ki underground hoja aur ab main hi tujhse yeh keh rahi hoon uske liye sorry...." I apologised but was no sooner interrupted by him.

Tilli hastily interrupted me saying, "Nahi Didi, yeh kya keh rahe ho? Main ab bhi aapki madad krsakta hoon yeh jaanke khushi huyi..."

"Thankyou Tilli, main tujhe aur paise bhej rahi hoon, tujhe kya protocols lene hain tu jaanta hai... Apna aur unka dhyaan rakhiyo...." I said sincerely.

"Ji Didi..." He replied.

Whereas Sid intervened and spoke up, "Tilli bro, Hi, I am Siddharth Ganju but you can call me Sid G. Bas, thankyou kehna tha and take care..."

"Ji Bhai ji." he said and I disconnected the call.

I glanced at Sid and both of us made our way towards the torture room.

Present

Everyone was in a daze when my eyes found Sid and both of us winked looking at eachother which went unnoticed by everyone present there.

"Batra Sir, I think hum sabko ab mission par focus krna chahiye because abhi humari priority ARS hai." I said, breaking everyone trances and they nodded their heads understanding.

"Monami tum thodi der rest krlo and then you guys can carry on with your plans." Batra Sir ordered and all of us left after saluting him.

I entered my room followed by Sid as both of us looked at eachother seriously before our lips curved into a smile and then ultimately he broke into hysterical laughters.

I glared at Sid who was laughing like a maniac as he tried to zip up and said, "Sorry na Monu broo, ab control nahi horha! Dekh Charu ki ego toh todni hi thi aur agr usse shoot nahi krta toh voh aage humare liye problems create krsakti thi or worse that she could have escaped!"

"Kameene Ganju! Toh kya direct headshot se udayega!?" I said trying hard to control my smile as I recalled our plan.

Few Minutes Ago
Door Of Torture Room

"Monu, Charu ke paas pocket knife choda tha na?" Sid enquired.

While I nodded my head positively and started, "Dekh, I will go inside and tell her ki uska plan fail hogya, usse provoke krungi and then she will attack me. Sab log negotiate krne ka try krenge but jitna main Charu ko jaanti hoon, she won't back off."

"Aur tab, I will finally shoot her and kisiko yeh pre planned nahi lagega because they know how much I love you aur jo esse pehle maine threat di hai uske baad they know I can do it. " Sid elaborated.

"Let's do it then!" I said, preparing myself.

We were about to enter when we stopped ourselves and took eachother in a bone crushing hug as we whispered together, "I love you mere Kameene Ganju / meri Moti Billi!"

We untangled ourselves and shaking our heads positively we barged inside the room.

Present

As soon I completed my narration Sid was a laughing mess once again and I smiled seeing him like that when we heard, "Perfect plan of action!"

And our laughs instantly stopped hearing the voices, and both I and Sid turned around to find Karan, Sanju, Faizi, Koo and Bhai leaning at the doorstep with a serious look, and they had commented about the plan of action together.

Marr gyi Monu!

They stepped inside the room as Faizi closed the door whereas I and Sid stared at eachother terrified as we glanced at others again who were glaring at us.

"Sorry..." Both of us murmured, downing our heads.

A moment passed.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

But then the sound of laughters echoed in the room as I looked up to find Karan and Bhai laughing softly whereas Sanju, Faizi and Koo were laughing like hell unable to control themselves.

I peeked at Sid confused who was looking already looking at me with the same expression.

Okay?

Are we mad or are they insane!?

Bhai peered at our confused looks and said, "Don't worry Sid and Baccha, tum dono ko koi punishment nahi mil rahi!"

"Bach gye!" I uttered along with my bestfriend.

They stopped laughing after what felt like an eternity as Koo told us, still smiling, "Tum log radar se nikal jaate agr tum dono ek dusre ko dekh kr wink nahi krte! We caught you red handed."

I and Sid bit back our tongues on realising our silly mistake.

Whereas Karan took a step forward in his Khadoos trainer mood and said, "Lekin, you guys realise ki tum dono fass sakte the agr Batra Sir ne yeh dekha hota toh?"

"Karan Sirji ki jey baat toh thik hogo! Kay jaroorat thi tum dono ke jey sab krne ki?" scolded Sanju.

While Faizi said in a lighter time to that of his bestfriends, "Voh alag baat hai ki hum, Koel, Karan, Param Bhaiya, aur Sanju khud Charu ko maarne wale the agr tum nahi maarte."

I glanced at Karan and Bhai who glared at Faizi and there the Shergill brothers hissed, "Saand!!!"

But Faizi just peeked at me and the Shergill brothers followed his gaze which undoubtedly landed on me and I glared at the duo making them gulp back their saliva as they smiled nervously.

"Bhai! Khadoos Shergill! Don't you guys dare say anything to Faizi." I warned them and they nodded their heads obediently, shifting their gazes from Faizi whereas the latter shot me a grateful look and I smiled.

"Well, tum logon ka plan of action hogya and it was successful lekin ab kya real plan of action sochen? ARS ko pakadna ab bhi baaki hai." Bhai said, shooting me and Sid a look, while both of us nodded our heads understanding.

"Aur hum tumhari madad krenge!" A familiar voice announced, as I turned to peek at the owner of voice who was none other than my mother's bestfriend, Gunjan Ma'am, quite much like my Maasi?

I took a wider view to find that, along with Gunjan ma'am stood Ajeet, Anubhav and Rishabh as a subtle smile came across my lips.

Param Bhai glanced at me and our eyes met as I blinked, and turning his gaze back to the team, Bhai welcomed them with a warm smile, "Special Agent Major Param Shergill."

Maasi, Ajeet, Anubhav and Rishabh shook hands with one another while I smiled seeing them getting along well.

But my smile was soon replaced by an serious look as I stated, "Plan of action ready kren?"

Others nodded their heads hearing me, coming into their professional forms.

Was that a personality split disorder? A moment back we were jovial and now we are all serious?

Shrugging off, I stated, "Bhai ke alawa hum sab on field jaayenge, we are clear with this one thing. Lekin hum sab hotel ke andar exactly nahi ja sakte considering esme bohot risk hoga..."

"Toh, split up." Karan uttered while I stole a quick glance at him.

Sure it's risky, but supposedly it's gonna be worth it!

No one interjected Karan, we knew he is right.

The discussion went on for hours as we continued to make necessary changes in our plan.

Nights and days passed in a snap of finger and before we knew it, it was the morning when we were leaving for our mission.

The mission which would start in the beginning of the day and will end by the end of this same day.

My eyes moved around my dorm once, before I prepared myself to leave... knowing that there are high chances that I might not return from this Mission.

My eyes landed on the photographs of my five lifelines alongside the picture of Maasi and Aashna, as I prepared myself for the departure and hope, hope to serve the justice.

I made my way towards the gate of Parakram to find my team was standing their discussing as I was only a few metres away from them when suddenly I stopped as I felt a tug on my hand, while I looked up to find Aashna who was staring at me concerned.

"Aashna?" I muttered and no sooner was I enveloped in a bone crushing hug by her whereas I was surprised at her action but before I could process my arms were already wrapped around her protectively.

Her face was buried in my neck as I felt the collar of my shirt getting wet and before I could enquire, I heard her confess, "Monami, mujhe pta hai ki maine tumhare saath bohot bura behave kiya hai lekin you know what? Tum best ho! Aur mujhe tumhare jaise ban-na hai..."

I didn't realised that a smile had spread across my lips as I had realised that someone idealized me but it faded the next moment when she uttered, "Ek pal ke liye main voh sab face krna chahti hoon jo tumne kiya hai, strong ban-na hai tumhari tarah!"

My grip around her tightened as I told her, "Aaj ke baad yeh kabhi mat kehna Aashna ki tumhe meri life chahiye... Bas mat kehna.."

She nodded her head and after few deep breaths we separated and looked at eachother with bright smiles when Aashna forwarded her hand and said, "Monami, mere liye meri mom sab kuch hain, promise kro unhe kuch nahi hone dogi aur tum bhi mere paas vapis aaogi..."

I simply smiled at her words and was about to keep my hand on her's when suddenly I heard Maasi calling out for me, "Monami! Nikalne ka vakt hogya hai!"

"Yes ma'am!" I shouted back before shifting my eyes back at Aashna, and planting a soft peck on her forehead I quickly ran off to the team, leaving Aashna standing there alone.
