Checkmate. Aham & Kashmira FF( Manmarziyan) Part 23

Samaira was sitting on the bed with a tensed look on her face. Arjun put a coffee mug in her hand. She murmured thanks & took a sip of coffee from the mug. After sometime, she felt relaxed. Arjun pulled a chair in front of her & sat on it crossing his leg.
Arjun- Samaira, just take a deep breath, relax & answer my questions.
Samaira looked at him with sadness in her eyes & sighed. She nodded her head for him to continue.
Arjun- What you think Samaira, who can make this fake account of yours?
Samaira- I don’t know.

Arjun- Think carefully & then reply.
Samaira ( in an irritated tone)- If I knew the person who made that fake account in my name, I will surely stop that person from doing so. You can trust me in this matter.
Arjun sighed & spoke in a low tone. “Cool down Samaira.
After some minutes of silence,
Arjun- Do you ever gave your house key to anyone?
Samaira- No, I never gave my house key to anyone, not even Neil.
Arjun- So, we can assume that from Khanna Mansion someone made Xerox copies of your Identity proof documents.

Samaira looked confused.
Samaira- Well, I doubt.
Arjun- Why so?
Samaira- I made my passport only few months back. I not even attached it with my real Bank account or any others. I only declared it in Birdsong. How Samrat Khanna or anyone in Khanna Industries & Mansion can be able to get the Xerox of my Passport?
Arjun rubbed his forehead.
Samaira- I am always extra careful regarding all my documents. I keep all the originals in the closet of my cupboard & always carry closet keys in my purse. That’s why, I am not getting how anyone can get all the copies of my documents without my knowledge.
Arjun- Hmm, So, only Neil, Zubin & Kratika always used to come to visit you in your rented house.

Samaira- Yes.
Arjun- Anyone else?
Samaira- No. But Arjun I am telling you they are not guilty. Please don’t harass them.
Arjun only smiled but did not said anything.
Arjun- So, you never lost the keys or ever you noticed anything suspicious?
Samaira- No, for both of your questions.
Arjun again placed the documents in front of Samaira. ” Look carefully Samaira, Is it your signature?
Samaira ( in a low tone)- Yes, It is mine.

Arjun- Try to remember, when you signed these documents?
Samaira ( holding her head)- I don’t know.
Arjun- Hey relax. Okay. Do you recently signed any property documents when Samrat Khanna took you to Khanna mansion?
Samaira- No Arjun. I perfectly remembered, their I signed nothing.
Arjun- Anywhere else?

Samaira- No. You were also with me then.
Arjun- So, it means you only signed documents in Birdsong.
Samaira- What do you mean?
Arjun- Nothing. Next question, do you ever lost your phone?
Samaira (irritatedly)- No.
Arjun- Think again Samaira before you answer.
Samaira- My answer is same. No, I never lost my phone.
Arjun looked unconvinced. Can I see your phone?
Samaira thrusted her phone in his hand. Arjun looked at her phone.
Arjun- It’s not even password protected. Anyone can access your phone.
Samaira ( in a sarcastic tone)- Well, I don’t have multiple boyfriends, so nothing to hide.
Arjun rolled his eyes. ” Password is use to protect data & information dear. Anyway, where you always keep your mobile?

Samaira- When in office, always in my desk, else in my bag when we are in advertisement shooting location.
Arjun- And where you keep your bag then?
Samaira- where everyone keeps their bags.
Arjun- Any locker system?
Samaira- No. But I never lost my phone.

Arjun- But anyone can use your phone, possible right?
Samaira looked confused. Arjun only smiled. He lit a cigarette. Samaira tried to protest but Arjun cut off her words.
Arjun- My last question, who is Jai Khanna?
Samaira ( totally confused)- Who?
Arjun Jai Khanna?
Samaira- Who is he? I don’t know any Jai Khanna. Never ever I heard about him.
Arjun came near the window & silently stood there in a pensive mood. He finished his cigarette & looked towards Samaira. He saw her fuming face. He walked towards her & sat on the bed. Samaira turned her face on the other side. Arjun hold her hands & lovingly kissed her palms.
Arjun- You misunderstood me Samaira…

Samaira ( rudely)- who said?
Arjun- Your Eyes.
Samaira remained silent. Arjun took a deep breath.
Arjun- I trust you. But these questions are important. I don’t want anyone to question you. Someone trying to frame you & I will never ever let them be successful. I love you & you are precious for me.
A lone tear rolled down from the eyes of Samaira. She hugged Arjun tightly.
Samaira- You are also too precious for me Arjun & I am afraid.

Arjun- Don’t you trust me Samaira?
Samaira- I trust you more than myself. But I am afraid for you. I can understand you mission is getting dangerous day by day. What if something happen to you? No No. What the hell I am speaking?
Arjun- Relax dear. I am well trained to handle every situations.
He lovingly rubbed the tears rolling down from her cheeks.

Arjun- We will together going to live a long life. I want to have kids with you. Okay listen. I want two kids. A girl & a boy & if you want more, I don’t have any problem ( with a dreamy smile on his face)
Color rose on the cheeks of Samaira. She covered her face with her palms. Arjun came more closer to her & hushed near her ear. “You look more delicious when you blush. & bites her earlobe. Samaira squealed & fisted the front of Arjun’s shirt, but he pushed her on the bed & laid on top of her putting his weight on her. His warmth soothed her nerves. She can again feel his strong muscles. She closed her eyes hugging him. Both remained in that position enjoying each other warmth. After sometime, Arjun looked at the calm face of Samaira & lovingly kissed her forehead. She smiled a little still closing her eyes.
Arjun- I always want to see your smiling face.

Samaira can feel his nose rubbing the crook of her neck. Suddenly she can feel Arjun’s hand under her shirt. He slightly tickled her navel & Samaira laughed a little. She tried to hold his hand but saw mischievous glint on his face. ” Don’t Arjun. Just leave me. I am getting late.
“You are with me, so don’t you worry at all. He tickled her more & the sound of Samaira’s giggled & laughter filled the room.
After two hours, Arjun closed his laptop & put it in his backpack. Samaira already left for her rented home with a bright smile on her face. Arjun also looked refreshed. He took out his mobile & dialed Rajat.

Arjun- Get the team ready & besiege Khanna Industries Godown without making any noise & wait for my next order. I repeat do not enter Khanna’s premises before my next call.
Rajay- Yes Boss.
Arjun disconnected the call before Rajat could ask anything. He also put his phone on silent mode. It’s almost 12 A.M, Arjun parked his bike at a distance from Khanna Industries & started walking.

Arjun checked the Parking lot of Khanna Industries. No, there is no vehicles. So, that means no one is present in the office. But he need to be 200% sure. He carefully hide himself behind a pillar & took out his laptop from his bag pack. Arjun switched on his laptop & run a special program. He, with the help of his technical team already hacked the total CCTV programming system of Khanna Industries. Now, he can see each & every inside happenings. After getting sure that no one is present inside, he looked at the guards. One was sitting in a chair, he is looking tired & struggling hard to keep his eyes open. But the other one is standing in complete attention. Arjun looked at his watch & patiently waited. After sometime, the guard who was standing in attention went to take a round. Now, the other guard is alone. Arjun looked here & there.

He silently came near the guard & put his finger behind his ear & pressed in a trick. The guard fell unconscious without any noise. Arjun again hide himself in a corner. The second guard arrived there after completing his round, suddenly he felt a hard blow on the back of his neck & darkness engulfed him. Arjun entered in Khanna Industries. He did not made any effort to hide himself from the cameras & stopped in front of the closed door of the store room. He took out the duplicate key which was made from the imprints he had taken. He put the key in the lock & turns it. The “click sound indicated that he was successful in opening the door. A small smile crept on his lips & he pushed the door open. It was complete darkness inside. He switched on a small powerful torch & carefully looked at the room. It’s a small room without any window. He saw a computer on a table in a corner. He first took out his laptop & connected the entrance CCTV camera’s live footage of Khanna Industries to see if anyone entering the building. He then switched on the computer.

He is biting his nails with tension & excitement.”Beep, “Beep, “Beep Nandini checked her phone & her eyes grew wide with shock.Dam, someone logged in the server system of Khanna Industries. She dialed a number & rushed.

Arjun was copying all data in a high capacity pen drive. 70% done, but still 30% remaining. Some movement caught his attention. He saw in his laptop that some people entering Khanna Industries. Arjun again looked towards the computer screen, still 10% remaining. He closed his laptop & put it in his backpack. Now, he can heard footsteps breaking the dead silence of night. As soon as, the screen showed “Download complete, Arjun pulled out the pen drive & a bullet just escaped beside his ear & got struck in the wall at his back. Arjun ducked & somehow hide himself in the darkness of the room. He can heard footsteps entering the room & nearing him. He rolled out suddenly & put an upward strike to the buttom of the jaw of the man with the heel of his hand causing his head to snap backward & gave a vicious shattering of the ribcage of the man behind. Others froze for a second, but Arjun was quick. He grab the head of another man bend him forward & pulled back with force.

He noticed a gun aimed towards him. He held the unconscious man in front of him just like a shield & the bullets hit him. Now, Arjun also started firing from his revolver. After sometime, Arjun looked at the room , it’s in total mess. All are now lying the ground unconscious or dead. Arjun took a step to escape, but he felt a sharp pain near his abdomen. The man whom he punched, now holding a knife & smirking at him. Arjun grabbed the man’s head by his one hand & then twisting it with a sudden, violent jerk. The man fell on the ground, motionless. Now, he looked at his hand, which he had been clutching on his wound, his hand was red. He is bleeding profusely & it’s paining like hell. He is panting. Drops of sweats covering his forehead. He need to escape soon, because he is not in a position to fight anymore. He started walking, His lips pressed tight as if stopping a scream. He knew it’s not possible for him to drive. He took out his mobile with his shivering hand & pressed the Emergency call button. He came outside from Khanna Industries & fall on the ground.

He felt dizzy, but again he somehow controlled himself. He heard the sound of car approaching. He stood up with great difficulty.
Arjun somehow entered in the office of Intelligence Bureau. He dismissed the Officer who is supporting him. Bonnie rushed near him & was shocked to see his condition. Arjun sat on the ground supporting himself with a wall. He took a water bottle somehow & emptied the water on himself to stay conscious. Bonnie somehow recovered from the shock & called Doctor. She sat near him & tried to support him. Arjun with great difficulty somehow muttered, ” Call Parmeet & find out the location of Nandini & Rana. Bonnie protested, but Arjun spoke in a low tone ” It’s an order Bonnie. Just Go. Bonnie reluctantly left. Arjun somehow dialed Rajat’s number from his phone. “Raid the Godown of Khanna’s That’s all he can muttered & the phone fall on his lap. He can felt someone’s presence near him. He struggled to open his eyes. He noticed Bonnie’s tensed look. “What? he asked in a faint voice.

Bonnie- Arjun, we are unable to track Parmeet. His mobile is out of Network coverage area.
Arjun was shocked. He tried to say something. Suddenly he heard another voice. ” Bonnie mam, Bad News. Samrat Khanna’s car met with an accident on Airport Road. Dizziness engulfed Arjun & he fall on the ground unconscious.
