Vijay's POV

"So Vijay. These are all almost set. Only you and Shaurya." Reddy sir says.

I just smile.

"Sir, you didn't know. Vijay is with a girl." Gautam says.

"Hey-" I say to him.

"Vijay." Reddy sir looks at me, taking a drink of his beer.

"Sir. Nothing yet sir. I still have to meet her mother. Her mother has to approve of me. Long process." I reply.

"When will I meet her Vijay." Reddy sir replies.

"Today sir. She is coming right.." Yash interrupts.

"Rey, why would she come here man?" I ask Yash. He just shrugs.

"Hey, there she is." Gautam says, pointing towards the entrance.

I look to where he is pointing and sure enough, I see Mithra.

"Hey." she says, walking over.

The boys chorus a hi, and she sits down next to me. Divya comes up to us.

"Hey Mithra!" Divya says.

"Hi Divya!" Mithra replies, standing and giving her a hug. They both sit down again, and start taking shots.

"So, how do you all know each other?" Mithra asks.

"We were in the same group in Kashmir, for training." Yash says.

"They give bank training in Kashmir?" Mithra asks, confused.

I had told Mithra that I was a bank employee. I didn't tell her about my real job, RAW.

"No. Uh, we all went to Kashmir to train for mountain climbing. That's what Yash was talking about." I quickly cover.

"Oh. Ok."

I relax, and continue to have fun.

"Vijay. Lets go dance. Please." Mithra asks, her voice slurred.

"Mithra you drank so much." I say.

"Don't be a party-pooper mister. I want to dance Vijay." She whines.

"Fine fine." We both walk onto the dance floor, and start to dance. I twirl her around. She slams into my chest and we stand, staring into each other's eyes. Grabbing her waist, I pull her towards me. I lean close to her, and she leans close to me.

"Vijay!" Gautam yells. Mithra and I jump apart quickly. Divya and the boys walk up to us.

"Yea?" I ask, flustered, but acting as if nothing happened, but they all give me and Mithra a sly smile.

Mithra, who is drunk, starts to talk gibberish.

"Vijju. I love you." She slurs.

I look at her and shake my head, chuckling.

"Lets go?" Divya asks, smiling as well.

"Yea. Uh, you guys go. I'll go drop Mithra off." I reply.

"Yea sure." they all reply.

****

"Vijay I love you!" Mithra yells into the night, standing up. Luckily, the road is empty, so its ok.

"Mithra, sit down. Your drunk. Please." I say to her.

"Stop the car." she slurs.

"Mith-"

"Stop the car." she says again.

I step on the break, stopping the car. Mithra jumps out and I get out as well. We meet in front of the car, and I corner her against the hood. She leans towards me, and kisses me on the lips. Just a tiny kiss. I smile, and she looks down, blushing.

"Icecream?" she suddenly asks.

"Mithra its late." I say.

"Vijay I want icecream." she pouts like a little kid. I roll my eyes at her childish behavior.

"Fine. Get in." I reply. I drive to the nearest ice cream shop that is open, and park the car. We get down, and walk in. Sitting, I motion for a waiter.

"How can I help you today sir?" he asks.

"Uh, one chocolate icecream, and one toffee icecream with twix and five-star." I say, looking at the menu.

"Ok. Anything else sir?" he asks.

"No. Thanks." I reply.

He walks away, and returns a few minutes later with our order. Mithra starts eating her toffee icecream with twix and five-star while I eat my chocolate icecream, when I look out the window. I see people wearing black face masks and monkey caps. They keep looking into the ice cream shop, directly at me and Mithra.

"Mithra, keep eating. I'll be right back." I say.

She just looks at me and nods, busy eating her icecream.

I walk out, and suddenly, the power goes out. I hear the footsteps of a few people, running towards me.

I punch one of the guys in the stomach, kick another, grab the collar of one and throw him onto the others coming towards me. They all fall. Standing, they pull out guns and knives. I didn't carry my gun with me, so I have a disadvantage. They run towards me, weapons out. A few of them shoot, but miss me. I kick and punch rapidly, and many of them hit the ground with in two minutes. Suddenly, the lights turn on at once, and I hear police sirens. The guys get up and run. I grab a gun near me, and point it at the leg of one of the guys running in the back. I shoot, and the bullet hits him below the knee. He falls, crying out in pain. I walk over to him and grab his shirt, pulling him up.

"Who sent you!" I shout, punching the guy in the face. He doesn't reply.

A police officer comes over to me and takes the guy to the police car. I pull out my phone and call my friends, but noone lifts the call.

"Vijay!" Reddy sir says, running up to me. "Are you ok?" he asks.

"Sir, my team isn't lifting the phone. I'm scared." I say.

"Vijay, don't worry. We will find them." he says.

Suddenly, my phone rings. I look at my phone, and see that Shaurya was calling.

"Shaurya, are you ok!" I ask, lifting the phone.

"Yea. We are fine."

"Where are you?" I ask.

"We dropped Divya at home and came out for a cup of tea." he replies.

"Go right back home." I say.

"Ok, but why Vijay." he asks.

"Shaurya please!"

"Ok." he says. "Guys lets go."

"Ok. I'll call later." I say. I cut the call, and call Divya.

"The number you are calling is out of service. Please try again later." the mechanical voice says.

"Shit shit shit!" I cut the call and try again, but the call still doesn't connect.

I walk over to Reddy sir. "Sir Divya's phone isn't connecting." I say.

"She might be sleeping." he suggests.

"No sir, its out of service."

"Ok ok. I'll have one of our people in HQ track it." he says.

"Yes sir." I reply. Reddy sir walks away, talking on the phone.

I look up at the ice cream shop, and see Mithra at the entrance.

Shit! I completely forgot about her.

She walks over to me.

"Vijay. Who are you." She asks.

"Mithra, I'll tell you in detail later." I reply.

"Vijay I want a reply now!"

I call over one of the police.

"Drop her at home." I say.

He nods, but Mithra, stubborn as always, doesn't budge.

"Vijay. Tell me what's going on."

"Mithra please. Go."

She still doesn't move.

"Mithra go!" I yell.

Tears start to form in her eyes, and they come down her cheek.

"Mith-" I start, but she gets into the police car before I can finish my sentence.

I stand there, staring at the car that she was sitting in.

"Vijay, you go home. I'll call you if I get any information." Reddy sir says, coming over to me.

"Ok sir." I reply. I salute him, and get into my car, driving home.

****

I open the door to the house, and walk in.

"Divya. Divya." I yell. I don't get a reply.

I start walking up the stairs when my phone rings.

"Hello sir." I say.

"Vijay, come to headquarters. Now." Reddy sir orders.

"Yes sir. On it." I run back down the stairs, grab the keys that I tossed on the table, and run outside.

****

I open the car door, toss the parking boy the keys, and run into headquarters.

"Vijay. Come. Quick." Reddy sir says.

We run towards the message room.

"Why-?" I begin, but he stops me with a hand.

"You'll find out." he just replies.

We enter the message room, and what I see on the large screen shocks me...
