Death : Mystery Unsolved - Chapter 86
And just like earlier; he maintains that healthy eye contact, while smiling in encouragement , while squeezing her shoulders to show the form of trust and encouragement in it.
Riya smiled back, a cute childish, girlish smile that Zunaid had never ever seen in this entire week. And he felt , maybe, it’s not bad to be her partner. Maybe!!!!
He smiled back. And then look in the direction of the victims; as if telling her ‘Go ahead.’ Since her gaze was following his. So,obviously she understood the hint.
“Speak.” She finally ended up saying after approaching them. She stared at the plumbing box in confusion.
‘What is it doing here? Don’t tell me, this guy was actually teaching them, how to use it!!! And since, they can’t take his torture of words anymore. They decided to confess it to him.
It can’t be , right!!!’ But unfortunately there was no one , she could ask to. Plus,Zunaid had hidden his craftwork, making her a guessing mess.
At that time, Kai and Saheeda return too.
~~ Little flashback ~~ About Kai and Saheeda’s conversation~~
Kai went directly to the main Hall, followed by Saheeda, who went directly to the kitchen. Despite being eaten like pig, thrice at night. She still was feeling weak.
All no-thanks to the upcoming attack, the punishment of M and not to mention the life-death operation of that hostage, which drained 60% of her remaining energy.
So, she went directly to the kitchen and gulped 2 glasses of glucon-D, to get some energy back in her body.Fine. She is crazy. But that doesn’t matter,at the moment. Right.
Kai saw her tired, sorrowful state,too. He knows, he isn’t the only one, who got affected by the spectaculations and the orders of the seniors. But, why can’t she lead? Why?
She might not be great in many things. But she is the best in many things, already. And this is already more than enough, for her. Isn’t it? Then why?
So, he waited for her to regain back her energy, even if it is in this idiotic way. Once she was done, and was about to take her seat on the sofa, he simply spat two words: “ Follow me.”
She just cringed her brows, in confusion and irritation. But still nodded back and followed him. He took her to the terrace, where the sky was full of stars,clouds and moonlight.
The cool, calm and peaceful breeze was flowing out. Helping them to cool down a little. After all, he could see that her nerves were pulled taut, in the operation thing.
“ How’s he?” He asked.
“ Safe and alive. He will gain consciousness within half an hour. M and J are taking care of him. Personally.” She reported like an obedient junior.
“ What do you know about TTO? And just who are you?” He asked next.
She just gave a confused look.
“ I know. That guy was lying. Otherwise, think about it, how could a mere gangster, a mere bodyguard at Bar, know all this.” Saheeda replied.
Kai gave her one long, deep look. Then asked ; “ What you mean is…?”
“ It’s not us who is tailing TTO. It’s TTO, who knows, we are here. The leader already knows, we are here to take him down. So, he purposely is setting a bait for us.
If we catch the bait, then we will fall directly on his trap. And then we are done.”Saheeda explained, her facial expression showing her contemplated look, as if she was busy making deep analysis.
“The leader already knows, so he is playing a cat and mice game, with us.” Kai concluded, to which Saheeda nodded.
After all, this type of situation only meant two things: They were lucky enough to hit the jackpot, which definitely doesn’t exist in her case. Someone deliberately helping them out. Or in other words, someone is using these guards as the bait for these agents.
After all, Kai had witnessed it himself. The few moments after people actually came to check on her, which means they were really tailing her off. Then are these three fellows safe or not.
“ Do you think they will trail us here?” Kai asked next. He really wanted to check what her true views are.
“ They can’t. Until and unless, we have Zunaid with us. Our location and coordinates are safe. We would only be put in danger, if Head Chief, Chief Sheikh or Chief Thakur tip us off.
Which definitely isn’t possible. By the way, what’s your opinion and plan about this decision of SII?” She asked.
He stared at her. Fine. He was trying to avoid this topic. But he didn’t know why he really wanted to share it with her.
“ I really want to do anything to everything, to prevent this attack. But I am helpless. The UN will follow, whatever Chief Sheikh will say. As Country P is leading this mission. But, I want to stop this attack.
I am the type of person, who lives and dies for his Country. So, how can I put anything first before my Country. You know, My entire family. My ancestors have been loyal to this Country.
From the last 10 generations, we have served our Country. Even before partition, Our family had served this Country. Even before freedom, before democracy, before everything. Our family has shed their blood, sweat and tears for this Country.
So, how can I ditch my Country for this mission? I know, if we didn’t then the World, will be in great danger. Then the World will end too.
I know we are supposed to stay safe, and on the sidelines. To catch the leader and stop the apocalypse. But… my heart opposed it fully.” He finally blurted out, all the burden he was feeling, from inside out.
Saheeda, who definitely was shocked at first, by hearing all those words coming from The Aloof, Cold, Arrogant, Egoistic Bastard was actually sharing his feelings with her.
For a moment, she even forgot to react. Like, how was she supposed to react. When the most mute person starts speaking in paragraphs to her.
~~
But then she leaned at the nearby wall, while staring intently at him. And for the first time, Kai felt her fierce, scorching stare at him. FINE. He shouldn’t have said anything.. After all, they are enemies, for god sake.
