Episode 84
Lakshya “Abe Chalo… Start ho jao…”
Goon “Hey Bhagwan… Ye hmara saubhagya Tha ki hmne aapke samaksh Katrina Kaif Devi ji ke mashoor maal kramank Sangeet pe nritya pesh krne ka awsar mila… Kripya hame hamare tapasya ka phal de Aur niche aa apna sthaan grahan kare Prabhu…”
Kabir again goes into the state of shock… While the DIA team and Kavya stand there looking at them blankly just making their eyes wide and blinking frequently amazed at the way of language being used for communication…
Lakshya “Bhaktjano… Hm aapki tapasya se ati prassanna hue Hain… Isiliye aapko aapke man chahe vardaan ka prasad dete Hain… Tathastu…”
Lakshya says and comes down with Raisha and stands beside Kavya…
All are amazed at the current event…
Kabir “Ragini wants to talk to you…”
Ragini “No I don’t!!”
Lakshya “What!!!???”
Kabir “What!!!???”
All “What!!!???”
Ragini “What???”
Lakshya “Ragu… How can you?? 2 ghante ke liye pati dur Kya hua tum Mujhe bhool gayi!!! How cruel…”
Sanskar “And how mean… How are you Lucky Bhai??”
Lakshya “Not good Sanskar bhai… I was waiting for my Sita to come and rescue her Ram from this cruel Ravan… But Yahan to scene hi alag Hai…”
Sanskar Rohan and Ravish stare each other blankly and start their slow claps mocking him on his PJ…
Ragini “What!!!???”
Aisha “Wasn’t it just opposite in real??”
Swara (frowning at his PJ) “Really Bhai??? How pathetic!!”
Kavya “Kabir… Do you have a tape..?? Just fix it on his mouth and seal it…!!”
Lakshya “What tape ha?? And Aisha what can I do…? Yahan Ravan ne galti se Sita ke jagah Ram haran kr liya…”
Ragini “I mean I want to talk to Kabir… Tell me directly now… What do you want??”
Ragini’s POV…
I am sorry Lakshya… Only I know how I am trying to be calm and composed… Yes… I can rescue you without agreeing to him…. But that will capture him and will not reveal his motive… And I need to know that as I can’t afford any other Kabir and Kavita…
Rohan’s POV…
Ok Ragu… I got you… You want to know his motive… We failed to get his info during the interrogation… Impressive… I should have thought of this before itself… But Chief is Chief… No one can beat you in mind games…
I am with you and will support you…
He keeps a hand on Ragini’s shoulder…
She looks at him… He nods looking at her assuringly … She smiles looking at him and thanks him in mind saying only Veeru understands Jai…
Lakshya “That is so not done Ragini… Just rescue me once from here… Then I will deal personally with you…”
Ragini turns read “Lakshya!!!”
Swara Aisha and Kavya closing their ears “I swear I didn’t hear anything…”
Rohan Ravish and Sanskar look here and there then Ravish points out “Guys see the fan is rotating so nicely…”
Other two “O Yaa… It’s going round and round…”
Kabir is ashtonished seeing their behavior… He thinks he has to be strict now…
Kabir (joining his hands) “For God’s sake… You both are kidnapped… Plz behave as ones… Kyu Meri izzat ki watt laga rhe ho…”
Lakshya “Awwwwww Bhow Bhow…”
Rohan Ravish and Sanskar “Awwwwww Bhow Bhow…”
They laugh….
Kabir fuming “Lakshya behave yourself or Raisha won’t be with you anymore…”
Lakshya (in mind) “No… I did this so that Ragini is not tensed… I can’t leave Raisha with them… (To Kabir) Ok fine… I grant your wish…”
Kabir “Better… Else you know what???”
He snatches Raisha from Lakshya… She cries due to jerk…
Kavya “Kabir!!”
Rohan “Kabir!!! Stop your nonsense…”
Kabir “really??” He tends to drop Raisha but then catches her… Aisha heaves a sigh of relief for her breath stopped for a moment…
Ragini “No Kabir… Don’t you you dare…”
Kabir “Try me… Now listen carefully… I will call you exactly after 10 minutes… I need to clear the mess here…”
Aisha “Kabir… Kab—”
Aisha “Rohan… He will harm Raisha…”
Rohan “He won’t… His motive is something else… He is not a normal extremist…”
Ragini “Exactly that’s why even I am not taking any action… We have to play along with him…”
All nod…
After 10 minutes…
Kabir calls…
Ragini “Without making another jalebi… Just come to the point… DIRECTLY… Am I clear..??”
Kabir “Do you remember my full name..??”
Sanskar “Kabir Khanna…”
Swara “So what??”
Rohan “One second…!!”
He thinks something and then suddenly looks at Ragini only to find out that she is also looking at him with the same horrific expression…
Ragini “Kabir Keshav Khanna…”
Kabir smirks…
Aisha,Ravish,Swara and Sanskar “What!!!!”
Kabir “Exactly… Kabir Keshav Khanna… Son of Late. Mr. Keshav Khanna… The former DIA chief… And-”
Aisha “A traitor…”
Ravish “Who compromised with his duty just for few monetary units…”
Swara “Who did not even thought once before cheating his position…”
Sanskar “So efficient yet such a bad ending..
.”
Ragini and Rohan look at each other…
Kabir “No he wasn’t… He wasn’t the traitor… He was a savior… He was a hero… ”
Swara “But he himself confessed his crime…”
Kabir “Ragini manipulated him and Rohan was with her all the time… My father was a gem…”
Ragini “Which had impurities… The most costly of all the gem is the white diamond… If the diamond is coloured,that means it has impurities and it’s worth decreases…”
Rohan “That’s what happened with Khanna sir… He was a rare white diamond… But a slight impurity in him,made his shine dull…”
Kabir (raging) “He was not impure… You not only snatched my gem-My dad from me but also my companion… My wife… Kavita… And Swara I will never forgive you for that… Now it will you all who will loose… And I will gain… My enjoyment of my revenge being successful… No arguments now…!! Look at the watch… It’s 4:00 pm now… Ragini…Rohan… You have just 2 hours…”
Ragini “What do you mean?”
Kabir “This time you guys made a mistake in studying me… My whole drama was to just waste your time and nothing else… Just for your mistake,Those three people will have to pay… Or we may say,loose their life…They will have to suffer coz they are connected to you all… You all gave me pain by snatching away my own people from me… Now you all will experience the same pain… Search me if you can… But remember you have just 2 hours…”
He cuts the call leaving all of them in horror…
Ragini “Bahut Bari galti ho gayi hmse… Hum kaise uski chaal me fas skte Hain… ”
Swara “Bhai… Bhai is in his clutches… No I cannot sit here and cry… I have to find him… Ragini… What are you doing?? Get up… It’s time to fulfill your promise… I want Bhai… Or no one else…”
Sanskar “Swara… What are you saying… Tumhe srf apne Bhai ki pari Hai… Meri behan ki nai…. Wo bhi utni hi pareshan Hai jitni tm…”
Ragini “Bhai… Don’t fight plz… You had promised me…”
Sanskar “But–”
Ragini “Bhai plz…”
Ravish “Everyone is worried about themselves here… What about Kavya… She is not even responsible for all this… All are becoming shellfish…”
Rohan “STOP YOU ALL… RIGHT NOW..!!”
All stop and look at him…
Aisha “How can you even think about it Ravish… Not only your wife but our newborn daughter is with him as well… And we are selfish!!! At least Lakshya and Kavya are capable of defending themselves but that little girl has not even opened her eyes properly… Kabir would have been dancing with joy of would have seen us like this…”
Rohan “He is half successful in his motive… The unbreakable DIA team has cracks in it… We are loosing out trust on one another… Swara, you are concerned about Lucky right… Will be feel good if knows the way you are talking to Ragini… Sanky Bhai, you love your sister so much that you are breaking her promise only… And Ravish… You are very much worried about Kavya right… She had asked me a promise that I will never let this group break and you are trying to violate her words only?? Wow… What a team work…”
He claps out of sarcasm…
They all look on…
Aisha “We do not have time to waste… Guys let’s go… We need to work and find out Kabir… Ragini–”
They look to find she is not there…
Rohan “Ragu????”
Sanskar “Where she went suddenly??”
Ravish “Ragini… Ragini…???”
Swara “I will call her…”
She does but it says busy…
Ragini enters just then talking on the phone…
Ragini “– ya ok… Thanks for your help… Guys—”
She looks at them as they are staring her with a question mark on their face…
Ragini “What?”
Sanskar “Where you went suddenly?”
Ragini “We have got Lakshya’s location…”
Swara “So soon how..? Where is Bhai??”
Aisha “I know… ”
All look at her and Ragini smiles…
Ravish “One minute… I want to say something… I am sorry guys… I didn’t mean to say that…”
Aisha “It’s ok Ravish… So it-”
Swara “One minute… Sorry Ragini… But I can’t see Bhai in problem…”
Ragini nods “It’s ok Bhabhi… I understand…”
Aisha “Good so–”
Sanskar “And I am also sorry Ragu… Plz I won’t break my promise now…”
Ragini nods…
Rohan “Aisha… Say…”
Aisha “I won’t say now… Everyone is interrupting me… ”
Rohan “Now no one will… Plz we don’t have time…”
Aisha “Ok so…”
She stops herself to see whether anyone interrupts her or not…
Ragini “Leave it Aisha I will say…”
Aisha “No I am telling… So it is so that Kabir has himself given us the hint… He repeatedly said that we have 2 hrs… And then he will— (she pauses and gets emotional thinking of the possibility… But then composes herself) the he will punish us… Means he wants us to reach him so that we can see our loved ones in pain in front of our eyes… He wants to make us feel helpless just like he felt…”
Ragini “And so he gave us the hint… Kabir has kept Lakshya and others almost two hours away from us… Now the question was in which direction… So I asked my experts to search in every direction… Two hours means almost 100 KMS from here… So within 100 KMS,they searched for any isolated place… Of course it cannot be done in a crowded place… They found two suspected places… One 85 KMS north to this place… And another 88 KMS south east to this place… He has kept them to the South east place…”
Rohan “How can you be so sure Ragu?”
Ragini “Rohan remember where we first caught Khanna sir?”
Rohan “Ya… In his arms factory we caught him red handed and then we started our task to expose him… I remember that factory is (Widening his eyes out of realization) 88 KMS SOUTH EAST TO THE HEADQUARTERS…”
Swara “A very smart move… He has taken everything to the same point from where it was started…”
Ragini gives a stiff worried nod…
Ravish “Perfect then… It will take us only an hour or less to reach him… What are we waiting for… Let’s go…”
Ragini “Stop!!! No one will go…”
Ravish “Ragini… What are you saying?? Then how will we catch him…?”
Ragini “No one will go except Me and Rohan… We can easily reach there in 45 min… But before that… We need to go somewhere else…”
Swara “Ragini what is more important than that?? We know now Kabir’s motive,his place and the danger on Bhai and others… Then what now?”
Rohan looks questioningly at Ragini…
She looks at him and signs Something with her eyes… He realizes what she is saying and understands… He gives a stiff nod and agrees to follow her plan…
Rohan “Bhabhi only knowing everything is not important… We need a plan of action… And I know what is in her head… Second thing is what about family members?? Annapurna aunty and Sharmishtha aunty are already panicking… Shekhar Uncle and DP uncle are injured… Dadi’s BP is high… And the most important thing their safety… We kept Lakshya in headquarters so that he remains safe… But what happened ultimately?? When no one was with him,then he was kidnapped… We cannot afford another such incident… ”
Sanskar “But Rohan,Ragu why are you going alone… I understand about your concern regarding family members but what about you both… What will we answer them? And why do I feel Ragu that you are hiding something from me… You are not meeting my eyes…”
Ragini goes to Sanskar and hugs him “Bhai… Do you remember when once I was hiding the DIA matter from you,then I had said something (he recalls the incident when Ragini says ‘if you ever feel that I am hiding something from you all,then plz don’t ask any further question related to it from me… I won’t be able to answer it… Just trust your Ragu,she will not let wrong happen with anyone… ‘ He gets teary recalling it…) Bhai time has again made me stand in the same situation… Just trust your Ragu…”
Sanskar nods and keeps a hand over her head “I know… You won’t let wrong happen with anyone… I trust my Ragu…”
Ravish “Ragini… You have never taken any wrong decision… I trust you completely with it… I know that you will definitely bring Kavya, Raisha and Lakshya back safely with you…”
Ragini nods and Thanks him for showing his confidence in her…
Aisha “I am also coming with you all…”
Rohan and Ragini deny…
Aisha “No way… Last time when I left Rohan alone to clash with Kabir,I almost lost him… This time even Raisha is there… I cannot be at peace here leaving my husband and daughter in danger… ”
Rohan “Nothing can happen to me and Raisha… No one will dare touch us… And I promise… I will come back safely with Raisha… Nothing will happen to us…”
Ragini “And till Jai is there, No one can touch Veeru… Jai will die but won’t let anything happen to Veeru…”
Aisha “Aisa Kyu bol rhi ho Ragini… You are equally important for me… I cannot loose an asset like you… Promise me–”
Ragini “Don’t ask something from me which I won’t be able to give… But I can assure you that nothing will happen to Kavya, Lakshya,Raisha or Rohan till I am there… Ok guys… We have to leave now…”
Ragini calls someone and asks them to prepare the chopper… She then signs Rohan he nods and messages someone…
Rohan “It’s done…”
Ragini “Let’s leave… Guys take care…”
She was about to go but was stopped by Swara “Ragini… I know that this isn’t going to be easy for you as well… I know that it is a do or die situation for you… I also know that you will not leave any stone unturned to achieve what you want… But… I don’t know what you are going to do… I don’t know how you are going to do… I want you to know that ours is a two sided relation… Tm Meri nanad bhi ho aur Bhabhi bhi… Hmara rishta ek nai do dor se bandha Hai (Ragini smiles and nods) Koshish krna ki ek dor kahin tut na Jaye… Main srf tumhari bhabhi bann ke na reh Jaun (Smile fades away from Ragini’s face and a tear escapes her eye…)”
Ragini composes herself and forces a smile “No bhabhi… That day will never come… Coz before that,I will prefer to leave this world… And that situation will have to defeat me before destroying our relation as me being your Bhabhi and you being my nanad…”
Swara and others looks on shocked towards Ragini “Ragini I didn’t mean–”
Ragini “I know… You don’t need to clarify it… I have to leave now… Take care of yourself and family…”
Rohan and Ragini leave… All look at them going… Ragini’s words keep ringing in everyone’s mind…
Precap:
Someone from the past will return in their lives… What will be it’s impact on DIA members… Will the person help to save Lakshya and others or will harm them even more…
