chapter 35

at Avni's apartment they were having their dinner while Neil and Avni were going to police station

there was an uncomfortable silence and to break that Avni spoke.

avni- kareena tumhari behen hai?

Neil- hnmmm!

Avni- tumhe kya kaam hai sunheri se?(curious to know)

Neil- hai kuch, just answer one question of mine. tum ananya verma kaise bani,I mean itna jaldi kaise?

Avni- that is my new identity. kafi saare operations hote hai jaha Avni Mehta ko ananya ki jarurat hoti hai. so ananya verma. secret agent types.

neil-mujhe kaise kuch bhi pata nhi lagne diya? I also had the doubt.

Avni- kyunki ananya vaise hi kaam karti hai.

Neil- ab jab pandit ke baare  mein pata hai toh aage kya?

Avni- trust me we won't let him go!

Neil- it's not about trust , it's about catching him( angry mode)

Avni- for now we need to wait for Amruta to do her work then only can we decide our move. har baar jaruri ye nhi ki hum kya plan karte hai balki saamne wale ne kya kiya hai us par bhi we need to see. u know check and mate types.

Neil- u mean to say that we have to wait ( in disappointed look)

Avni- no we just have to do other works till amruta gets settled again.

Neil- what other works?

Avni- Hume Jo ladkiyaan Mili hai unka interrogation lena hai, kareena as well,first understand their pattern,gather proofs, humare pass jo hai vo kafi nhi hai hume aur proof gather karna padega.

Neil- proofs , proofs,proofs, I am fed up with this . I wonder will I ever get justice legally?( upset form)

Avni- I have not met ur mom but surely I have been with my mom. if they are best friends then it's pretty much sure that she too would have wanted u to be safe and following government norms .

Neil went quiet cause this is the point where he can't argue further.

soon they reached police station and both went inside.

Avni directly went to cabin not before asking sun to come to her cabin once she finishes work with Neil in an anger filled tone.

poor sunheri being unaware about the entire thing got shock.

soon Neil came and saw Avni going to her cabin and sun having a question mark on her face. he just blinked his eyes as is assuring her.

Neil- mujhe Milne milega?

sun nodded in no but they indicated towards Avni's cabin- vo bole to..

Neil- aur kya kya pata hai tumhe?

sun- sorry we are not allowed to say anything.

Neil closed his eyes as if fed up with  silence of people.

sun- khaana khaaya??

Neil looked other side to avoid any conversation.

sun- vo meri bachpan ki dost hai , us se bhi important ye hai ki vo ek police officer hai. mein khud ki jaan de dungi agar usne tumhe insaaf nhi dilwaaya to, ye meri gaurantee hai. kal hum log fir se back to duty honge . shayad Amruta bhi kal tak......

neil-ye hi to problem hai, itni mehnat ke baad bhi vo  kal chut jaayegi. a complete waste of our efforts.( in high tone)

sun-ye to hoga par ab vo humari taraf se vaha jaayegi. ab tak uska paala Avni se nhi pada tha . is baar vk jaayegi to bhi humari help Karne.

Neil didn't understood how but kept that things at rest.

Neil- khaana khaaya??

sun rolls her eyes and replies - without her??

Neil was surprised by their bonding and his facial expressions were ye kaise pata?

sun-hum bachpan ke dost hai aap nhi samjhoge.lekin u can join us as I know u too didn't had food 
they went inside to see that Avni was sitting in her chair facing towards the opposite wall staring at the photo frame of gandhiji.

sun- we will catch him Avni, injustice nhi hogi is baar.

she still was looking at the frame and was unaware that Neil was there too.

Avni- aaj tak meine inke kadamo par chalne ke liye kya Kuch nhi Kiya? humari puri life hum laga dete hai hum taki ek din hume humara Bharat mile par phir pala padta hai Apne hi kuch logo se jo inhe Undertable, black mein lete hai aur sachaai dub jaati hai. Kash ye wardi bhi lie detector ki tarah galat kaam karne par shock deti, sarkar ki laathi unpar bhi padti. kaise log apni wardi ko hi bech dete hai ? was that even needed ! kuch aise hi logo ki wajah se department par aaj bhi koi bharosa nhi karta.

she went silent and sun too was silent as she too didn't had that answer. just imagine a situation of a group project where a team effort is needed and there are few people who always add on the task and never aid others?.

But somewhere Neil knew that she was right as he has suffered thru the hands of that corrupt person.

Neil- but that doesn't mean u stop doing ur duty right? u r here , fighting to get justice. soldiers are there to protect us , people are doing their jobs indicate that there still is a bharat hidden in ur India.

Avni turned around as she wasn't expecting him on the first place and top of that his statement.

Avni- u didn't went?

neil-no, I was hungry so thought to eat and go!

Avni- what !? why? u go to ur place and eat!

sun- what's this Avni let him be here plus we can discuss our strategy as well.
Avni whined and finally had to allow him.
