Mumbai Headquarters...
Bandana loaded her handgun. "Ready ho?" She asked Shahveer. He nodded. "Mera har order follow karna, agar zada chu-chapar ki to saari golia bheje me daal dungi, samjhe?" She asked. He made a poker face.

They were going to check the location between Haji Ali Dargah and Shree Mahalakshmi Temple.

"Shahveer yaad rakhna ham waha raid ke lie nhi jaa rahe. Hame sirf information chahiye, aur uske lie hame saamne nhi aana kisike, sab chupke hona chahiye, okay?" Bandana asked sitting in the car. Shahveer nodded and started the engine. They left.

"Bandana yaha pohonch to gey hai par kuch samajh to aa nhi raha...kaha jaana hai??" Shahveer asked as they stopped in front of the Temple. Bandana was quiet.

"Dargah ki taraf chalo" She said. He followed her order.

They stopped at some distance from Haji Ali. "Ab?" He asked.

"Yaha aate waqt boht saari shops dekhi...unme do teen godowns the. Shops pe to aana jaana laga rehta hai logo ka, godowns check kre?" Bandana asked. "Kucch na mila to popat" Shahveer said. "Shakal acchi nhi hai to bakwaas mat kia kro" Bandana said and got out of the car.

They started walking.

"Yeh pehla hai...par yaha kaam kar rahe hai log" Shahveer said, "aage wala dekhte hai" Bandana said.

The next one was closed as well. They were walking towards the third one when they heard a noise. "Koi andar hai" Bandana said and they started going towards the entrance.

"Yeh to band hai" Shahveer said looking at the main gate. "Abey dhakkan waha khula hai" Bandana said pointing at another door. They walked slowly towards that door.

The door was slightly opened. Some people were carrying boxes and loading them on a van. Two people were standing and talking to each other. One of them was wearing a black suit while the other one was in kurta and jeans.

"Yeh suit wala kon hoga?" Bandana said in a low voice. "Arey apne ko kya? Normal kaam hi chal raha hai. Woh boss hoga yaha ka, chalo aage dekhte hai" Shahveer said. "Yeh normal lag raha hai tumhe? Yaar tumhare jese ghonchu ko kisne itna bada officer bnaya?" Bandana asked annoyed.

"Haan Bhai, woh to apna cinema hai na...Bhai wahi INOX karke, waha hoga" The guy said, "pagal ho gey ho kya? Waha kese kroge?? Itne log hote hai waha!" The person in suit said loudly.

"Yeh awaaz suni suni lag rhi hai" Bandana said.

"Bhai, kisiko shakk nhi hoga. Woh picture aai hai neyi, Golmaal karke, uska show hai kal 7:30 bje. Usme kar lenge Bhai" The guy said.

"Shahveer woh awaaz suni tumne? Suit wale ki??" Bandana asked looking at Shahveer.

"Umm...Bandana..." Shahveer said looking inside. "Kya?" Bandana asked. "Woh van ka right mirror dekho yaha se" He said. She looked in the mirror. The image was not really clear. "Yeh to...shit. DCP lag raha hai!!!" Bandana said.

"Shhh!!!" Shahveer said placing his hand on her mouth. Everyone inside looked at the door. Shahveer grabbed Bandana's waist and moved her from there.

"Bhaago yaha se!" He said. They ran from there and reached their car.

"Kya woh sachme DCP sir the?" Bandana asked. "Image clear nhi thi, koi aur hoga" Shahveer said. "Par woh awaaz bhi to unki lag rhi thi" She said. He hummed.

"Kal ki tickets book kro, ham Golmaal Again dekhne jaa rahe hai 7:30 bje" Bandana said sitting in the car. "Kal to Diwali hai...chutti to bant..." Shahveer said, Bandana gave him a death glare, "nhi banti, chutti nhi banti" He said. "Good" Bandana said.

"Gadho jese kaam karte raho bas" Shahveer said looking out of the window. "Bakwaas band kro aur Headquarters chalo" She said.

Negi Nivaas...
It was 1 o'clock and Aarushi was unable to sleep. She unlocked her phone and went on Instagram. Luckily, Priyank was online.

"Hainn???? Posts like kie 5 minutes pehle! Yassss!!!" She said and called him.

"Hello??" Priyank said in a sleepy voice. "Kya kar rahe ho?" Aarushi asked. "Itni raat ko koi kya karta hai?" He replied. "Yeh nautanki kisi aur ke saamne karna! Itni raat ko tum Instagram pe random posts like karte ho" She said.

He sat on the bed and looked at the screen. "Aarushi!! Tum!!! Nhi me genuinely phone rakh ke let gaya tha, tabhi bas utha lia aur tumhara naam bhi nhi dekha" He replied, "neend nhi aa rhi thi to socha to Insta hi sahi" He said.

"Tumne itni raat ko call kia, theek ho na?" He asked. "Haan haan, tumhe online dekha to socha baat karu, neend nhi aa rhi thi" She said.

"Ohoooo, pyaar to nhi ho gaya mujhse?" He asked with a smirk. Aarushi felt butterflies in her stomach. "Huh? Pyaar? Kya baat kar rhe ho? Kucch bhi" She said. "Haan haan, chill" He said. Aarushi smiled.

"Khana khaya acche se?" He asked. "Haan, kyu?" She replied. "Nhi bas ese hi, I care for you na" He said. "Ohoooo, pyaar to nhi ho gaya mujhse?" She asked mimicking him. He chuckled. "Haan mujhe to ho gaya hai" He said.

Aarushi's cheeks got red. "Arey, blush mat kro, mazak kar raha hu" He said. "Me...me nhi kar rhi blush" She said checking here and there. "Arey, idhar udhar dekhna band kro, na mene waha cameras lagae hai aur na hi waha hu" He said.

She widened her mouth. He started laughing. "Sab tukke the!" Aarushi said. "Par sahi lage" He replied. "Yeah whatever" She said. They talked for another while and then went to sleep.

The next day, in the cinema hall...
Bandana and Shahveer were sitting together. "Aankhe khuli rakhna, yaad rahe ham movie dekhne nhi aae" Bandana said. He hummed.

"Arey woh to Aarushi hai na?" Shahveer asked. "Arey haan, Aarushi, Sumedh aur Priyank? Yeh yaha kese?" Bandana said.

"Chalo milke aate hai" Shahveer said standing up. "Tumhari khala ke bacche hai kya? Milke aate hai! Betho yaha chup chaap!!" Bandana said. He sat down quietly.

Bandana called Priyank. "Priyank kaha ho tum?" She asked. "Ma'am me Aarushi aur Sumedh ke saath movie dekhne aaya hu, kyu?" He asked. "Ham bhi wahi hai, tumhare thoda peeche. Ek dam se mat dekhna" Bandana said.

He turned slowly and found them. "Ma'am aap yaha? I mean...aap aur Sir..." He said awkwardly. "Case se linked kucch mila hai, wahi dekhne yaha aae hai. Tumhe kucch gadbad lage to bta dena" She said. "Okay Ma'am" He said and disconnected the call.

The movie started. Shahveer was laughing on each and every dialogue.

He was about to laugh when Bandana stopped him. "Unko kucch bolne to do!! Avai bandaro jese hasse jaa rahe ho" Bandana said. "Mene kaha tha na movie pe zada dhyaan mat dena? Aas paas dekho!!" She said.

After a while Bandana gave Shahveer a nudge. "Woh banda kabse neeche dekhe jaa raha hai, film kahi chal rhi hai aur uski nazre kahi aur tiki hai" She said pointing at a guy.
