“Uncle” Pari’s voice jerked him. He turned looking at her. “I wanted to share a confidential matter with you” she said as she sat on the chair in front of him. He smiled and nodded his head.
“Uncle I think there is some racket running in the institute. I have seen some irregularities in maintaining the records” she said and he narrowed his eye brows. “I will talk to documents department. You don’t take tension about it. Enjoy your leaves and you know you have to join back after the marriage” he smiled at her.
She smiled at him. “Okay uncle I will pack my stuff. Tomorrow I have to leave for Mumbai” she excused herself and he smiled at her.
He sighed when she left his cabin.
He dialed a number and waited for the response from the other end. “I had told you to be careful Shesh. One of the intern had got a doubt. And she is my best friend’s daughter and you know the seriousness of the matter” he said frustrated.
“Okay fine. But I will manage this time. Be careful for the next time. Waise Samay had returned. Don’t you wanna meet your friend” asked he. “Okay okay day after tomorrow is Sunday right you can come down to Kapoor Mansion” said he and disconnected the call.
***End of Flashback****
“It was my fault that I left you that day. Agar tumhara gala wahi ghot diya hotha tho I wouldn’t have to go through so many complications” he crushed the photo in which Pari was smiling in her marriage attire.

“I checked the message from dad’s number. He jumped off the building killing himself thinking that he might not reveal anything but his phone which was left behind opened all the mysteries” said Samay showing Ragini the phone. She looked at him horrified.
“Why will Ram uncle do that?” she asked confused. “For his reputed medical institute” someone’s voice dragged both of their attention and they found Adarsh entering. “AJ” Ragini rushed to him and hugged him. “You came back?” asked she emotionally.
“And when Raman calls his Adarsh will refuse to come oh what?” she widened her eyes shocked when she found Raman walking inside with a smile. “RJ” she closed her mouth shocked. “You both patched up?” she asked with the glitter in her eyes.
“Patch up? Hum alag hue kab the?” asked he with a smirk and Adarsh gave her a smirked look. “Mathlab” she looked at them shocked. “That was all plan to trap Tarak. We knew from the beginning that the person helping Shesh is Tarak only but we did not how and why was he doing that” said Raman snaking his hand across Adarsh’s neck
****Flashback****
“Ishu…..” Raman screamed when a bullet hit Ishita. She was rushed to the hospital immediately.
“I’m sorry Raman this is all due to me. I should have listened to you” Adarsh spoke and looked at Raman painfully who was sitting beside Ishita who was pierced with all the needles on her body.
“It wasn’t your fault. It was that gaddar. That Tarak” Raman fumed. “I saw him running from the direction the bullet was fired on Ishita. And I’m gonna kill that moron for sure” said he closing his fist. “Tarak?” Adarsh asked confused. “Yess Tarak. I don’t know why he is doing this but I’m sure he is helping the culprits” said he. “We have to find it out. But before that we have to inform the officials and sack him from the job” said Adarsh. “Don’t be so Adarshwadi always Adi. We don’t have any proof against him but just eye witness and that to mine. It will not take him time to prove himself innocent and the motive will be lost in darkness. We have to keep him in mission but we have to be careful” said Raman.
“And for this to work out we have to act like we are against each other. As per my nature I have to act like I hate you. Don’t mind me brother. It’s just for the sake of the mission. I lost everything for this mission. My life is in coma now. And I can’t let this fail at this stage” said he and Adarsh nodded his head and they hugged each other.
****Flashback ends***
“You both are by god” Ragini nodded her head. “And now when we know who the real culprit is…” Adarsh paused looking at Samay. “Arrest him” said Samay and controlled his emotions.
“Hey” Adarsh placed his hand on Samay’s shoulder. He smiled sadly. “We took oath that we will protect the truth and justice at any cost. And if that cost is my father I don’t mind” said he and a tear tripped his eye.
“If your best friend would have been here. She would be the proudest person” said Adarsh. “If I had reached a minute early or wouldn’t have ignored my instincts she would have been with us isn’t it?” he asked sadly.
“It wasn’t your fault Samay. It wasn’t. Stop blaming yourself” Raman consoled him and Ragini looked at them emotionally.
“I’m so proud of my team” she said joining and making a circle.
“The Flames” said Adarsh forwarding his hand and Raman placed his and then Samay and at last Ragini. “Mere bina team not fair Raman bhai” Rohan spoke over the bluetooth. “Mera haath tera haath samajh ke rakh liya yeh le” said Raman placing his left hand over the group and all chuckled.
*****Flashback*****
“Uncle aap bhi” Pari who was been held in clutches of two men looked at him shrinking her eyes. Tears were flooding out of her eyes continuously. He forehead was bleeding and she was shivering and trying to get out of the hold of those strong hands.
“tututu” he acted like feeling pity on her and looked at her with a mocking face. “When the smuggling did not stop even after you informed me you should have understood it” said he with a smirk on his face.
“Perhaps you are dumber than your dumb sister. She is been trained as a secret agent to reach me. And your husband is wasting his time training her. When the culprit is just beside him. He thinks his plans are perfect. If only he knew there is no word as perfect.” he said looking at the gun in his hand.
“Now your best friend my son is also unconscious. Who will save you? I left you once sighting Shekar’s friendship but now when you know everything I can’t let you live” he said and she looked at him shocked.
“Why are you doing this uncle what will you get killing so many innocent people for smuggling” she asked him. “Where am I killing. I’m just taking their organs which are extra. They can live with one kidney” said he shrugging his shoulders. “And we conduct proper tests to check if the person is healthy and he wont face any problems in future” he said sipping the whiskey in his glass sitting on the chair in front of her.
“You literally steal the organs. And have you forgotten the recent case where a kidney was removed from a person who succumbed to death as his other kidney failed within days” she fumed. “Such risks have to be taken to run a successful hospital. And I know ways to deal. Don’t you want to know who are in my team of people who take care of these complications?” he smirked. “Shesh” she widened her eyes shocked. “And not only he. Your brother works under him as a partner and as an assassin” he smirked. “No” she screamed. “Let her go Mr Kapoor” said Shesh. “You have lost your senses in her sister’s love I guess Shesh. Like my son lost his senses in her love” he pointed at Pari. She looked at him shocked. Then her eyes moved to Samay who was fallen unconscious.
“You leave Shesh. I can’t handle two two love sick puppies. I will manage here. You leave to London concentrate on the future risk” said Ram and Shesh left from there.
Pari tried getting out of the den. But she wasn’t finding a way. But soon she had an opportunity to run and she utilized the situation. She ran out of the area in thick jungle. She reached her home in Darjeeling. But Adarsh wasn’t at home. She dialed his number from the landline but he wasn’t picking up the call. “Adi please pick up the call” she spoke. For her luck Piyu was in nursery and she just started her car and drove it to reach Adarsh.
The forest she was crossing was again freaky. She stopped her car with a screech when she found a car in front of her. “How far will you run” he smirked getting out of his car. She took a reverse and took a u turn but one more car stopped her.

“Adi…..” Adarsh got up with a jerk hearing her scream. He was sweating and his heart beat at race as the past replayed as a dream.
“Papa” Piyu held his shoulder and cooled him. He hugged his little princess and kissed her hair.
“Papa what happened?” asked she. “Nothing beta. I just saw a bad dream” said he and she wiped his face. She dragged him and placed his head on her lap.
“Mumma used to say if we sing lori na no bad dream will come” she caressed his hair and hummed a little lori and he emotionally closed his eyes as her touch soothed him and he fell in sleep a peaceful sleep.

A new day was about to rise and what that day had hidden within no one knew. The darkest secrets were on a verge to come out. The life of a secret depends on the secret itself. And the dusk of the biggest mystery was about to come.
