Mohit writhed in pain but said nothing. Mushtaque pinned Mohit on the floor with Mohit’s tummy down. Then he handcuffed Mohit’s hands and said, ‘That’s okay buddy. Now come with me.’ Sofia handcuffed Sneha and pulled her. Khushi followed Mushtaque and Sofia. Khushi was shivering. Like a little girl seeking refuge in her guardian, she walked behind Mushtaque. Mushtaque pushed Mohit at the rear seat of his car and handcuffed him to the ceiling handle of the car. Sofia pushed Sneha in the rear seat of her car and handcuffed her to the ceiling handle there. Mushtaque then called up the headquarters and asked for couple of more policemen to arrive soon to escort Sneha and Mohit to the police station. Mushtaque looked at Khushi. She was still quivering. Mushtaque looked around. There was nothing, no shops, no food, nothing. Mushtaque then searched his pockets. There. He found the chocolate he had bought for Mehek. Mushtaque took it out, went near Khushi, looked at her and said, ‘You are safe Khushi. Here, have this.’ Khushi could not stop her tears. She started sobbing again like a little baby. Mushtaque felt her pain. Mushtaque patted her head and said, ‘I will take you home.’ Khushi cried and said, ‘My mom…’ and then she cried bitterly again. Mohit heard that and smiled wickedly. Mushtaque looked at Khushi and said, ‘Khushi, you have to be strong. Now, have this chocolate. Once my team is here, we will go.’ Khushi took the bar of chocolate. She was hungry. She ate it like a hungry kid. Just then Mushtaque’s phone rang. It was Saanchi. Saanchi asked, ‘Did you eat anything?’ Mushtaque said, ‘Yes.’ Saanchi then said, ‘You are lying.’ Mushtaque smiled and said, ‘I am in the middle of something now. Will call you back.’ Saanchi said with a note of worry, ‘Try not to come with bullet injuries please. I get scared. I can handle only minor injuries.’ Mushtaque said, ‘I will call you in a while’ and then he hung up.

The team of police officers came. Mushtaque led the team. First they went to the police station and after completing all the formalities, he put Sneha and Mohit in the lock up and then took Khushi to the hospital. At the hospital, Trishaan was there with Hemant. Mushtaque told Khushi to wait in the car with Sofia. Khushi said with tears in her eyes, ‘Is my mom here?I want to see her.’ Sofia hugged Khushi and said, ‘We will take you there. Let Mushtaque go inside and complete the formalities. Once he calls us, we will go.’ Mushtaque then went inside the hospital. Trishaan saw Mushtaque and rushed to him. Trishaan said, ‘I tried reaching you. I wanted to tell you something about…’. Before Trishaan could complete, Mushtaque looked at Trishaan and said, ‘I will talk to you. But, first I need to meet Mr.Hemant.’ Trishaan said, ‘Mr. Hemant is not talking to anyone. He is in a complete state of daze.’ Mushtaque looked at Trishaan and said, ‘He will talk to me.’ Trishaan said with anger, ‘ACP Mushtaque! Why the hell are you wasting time? Khushi’s family is in trouble. Her mother is no more. Her father is not in his senses and there is no information about Khushi. Where is she?’. Mushtaque patted on Trishaan’s shoulder with an expression of concern. Trishaan shuddered with the fear of the worst. With eyes expressing dismay, Trishaan asked , ‘Is Khushi fine?’ Without saying a word, Mushtaque went ahead to meet Hemant. Hemant looked at Mushtaque. Mushtaque sat beside Hemant and said, ‘I am sorry Mr. Hemant , but… Khushi…’ . Hemant looked at Mushtaque and said, ‘But what about Khushi?’. Mushtaque looked down and said, ‘She is no more.’ Hemant looked shocked at Mushtaque. Mushtaque looked back at him. Hemant covered his face with his hands and wept. Mushtaque put his hand on Hemant’s shoulder and said nothing. Trishaan stood there shocked. He yelled, ‘IT’S THAT BLOODY MOHIT. HE KILLED KHUSHI. KHUSHI WAS WITH HIM THAT DAY.’ Mushtaque looked at Trishaan and said, pretending to be confused, ‘What are you saying? Mohit?’ Trishaan shouted, ‘YES. SOHUM HAD TOLD ME THAT.’ Trishaan then knelt on the floor and cried and said, ‘My Khushi can’t die.’ Hemant stood up and said, ‘I lost my wife, I lost my daughter and now you are saying my brother did that?’. Trishaan looked at Hemant and said, ‘I have proof. I have eye witness. Khushi was with Sohum, when Mohit had come to pick her up. Mohit must have killed her. Where the hell is Mohit? I will kill that rascal.’ Mushtaque said, ‘Trishaan, this is not the time and place. I will work on it.’ Trishaan snapped, ‘You are useless ACP. I will find Mohit now.’ While Trishaan was busy hurling abuses, Mushtaque quietly texted Sofia to bring Khushi in and asked her to make Khushi watch the entire scenario without Hemant and Trishaan knowing anything about it. Mushtaque looked at Trishaan and said, ‘Somebody had called Mohit and had informed him that Ms.Kavita had died and now he could go ahead and kill Khushi.’ Hemant froze there. Mushtaque then continued, I have Mohit’s phone with me and now I will call the number who had called him.’ Saying that Mushtaque took out Mohit’s phone and clicked on the last received call. Hemant’s phone started ringing. Hemant did not know what to do now. He was cornered. Trishaan looked at Hemant aghast. Mushtaque said, ‘Your game is over Mr. Hemant. Now, tell us why you did that?’ Hemant sat down on the bench under the watchful eyes of Mushtaque. Hemant said, ‘I had suffered huge losses in business and I needed money. I never loved Kavita nor Khushi. Kavita’s dad was rich. I wanted a share in his property. Kavita was a single mother. I wooed her because of her dad’s money. I had hoped that her dad would give some percentage of the property to me. Instead, he gave all of it to Kavita and after Kavita’s death, the money would go to Khushi. Khushi could decide if she wanted to give any share of the property to anyone. Hence I had no option but to kill Kavita and Khushi with the help of my brother Mohit. Khushi’s kidnapping was a well planned affair. I knew Kavita would die of shock if Khushi disappeared. And after Khushi’s death we would have narrated the incident as an unfortunate kidnapping case which eventually led to death of Khushi.’ Khushi froze there when she heard all of this. Mushtaque recorded Hemant’s confession. Khushi walked up to Hemant, knelt in front of him and asked with anger and hatred, ‘Dad? You?’ Hemant looked at Khushi with hate and said, ‘I am not your dad. I was never your dad. Your dad dumped your mom and I had to take care of that fellow’s sin and that’s you.’ Khushi looked at Hemant in disgust and said while crying, ‘You killed my mom. I hate you. I hate you.’ Trishaan could not stop himself when he saw Khushi. He was so happy that he rushed to her and hugged her tight. Khushi hid herself in Trishaan’s arms and sobbed. Trishaan brushed her hair and said, ‘Shhh. You are safe. I am with you.’ Mushtaque knew Trishaan’s love for Khushi was true.

Mushtaque handcuffed Hemant and made some calls. In some time, some police officers came and took Hemant away. Sofia went with them. Khushi sat on the bench and looked at a blank spot. Trishaan rushed to the cafeteria to get something for Khushi to eat. Mushtaque came and told Khushi, ‘ Wouldn’t you like to meet your mother?’ Khushi was startled. She looked at Mushtaque in utter surprise and said, ‘Wha…?’ Mushtaque smiled and said, ‘Your mother is perfectly fine. I had requested the doctor to break the fake news of your mom’s death so that we could find you. She is stable and perfectly fine. The doctor has already informed her that you are safe. Go and meet her.’ Khushi did not know whether she should cry or laugh. She joined her hands and knelt before Mushtaque and said, ‘I don’t know how to thank you Sir! I don’t know.’ Mushtaque bent and helped her stand up and said, ‘ I just did my duty Khushi. Now, arm yourself with a big smile and go and meet your mom.’

Kavita’s joy knew no bounds when she saw Khushi. Both mommy and daughter hugged each other tight and cried. Mushtaque was someone who barely used to get emotional. But, this sight could not stop his tears. Mushtaque knew Trishaan would now take care of Khushi and Kavita. He told Trishaan ‘The police might summon Ms. Kavita, Khushi, Sohum and you for legal queries. However there is nothing to worry.’ Saying that, Mushtaque left.

Saanchi answered the door anxiously. Seeing Mushtaque safe, she smiled brightly and said, ‘Pheww. No bullet Injury.’ Mushtaque laughed and said, ‘I am fine.’ Mushtaque said, ‘Mehek slept?’. Saanchi said, ‘Yes. Just now. She was waiting for you but I promised her that you will take her to “the chocolate factory” tomorrow if she sleeps on time today. Hence she slept.’ Mushtaque smiled and said, ‘Good job. Let me freshen up. I have nice stories to tell you.’ Saanchi beamed and said, ‘Oh I love listening to your stories. You go freshen up and come. I will heat the food for us.’ Mushtaque took shower. He wore his usual white v necked super cool t shirt and a pair of comfortable shorts and came and sat on one of the chairs of the dining table. Saanchi got the food and served. Saanchi had made steamed rice, stir fried broccoli, thai veg curry and caesar salad. Mushtaque relished every bite of the food. He was so hungry that he barely talked while having dinner. After dinner, Saanchi sat on the couch in the living room. Mushtaque came and lied down putting his head on her lap. Saanchi brushed his hair and said, ‘Tired?’. Mushtaque said, ‘Hmm.’ Saanchi then said, ‘How about the interesting stories?’ Mushtaque smiled and said, ‘I am never tired to narrate stories to my wife.’ Saying that he told Saanchi all about the adventure of finding Khushi. Saanchi listened to him wide eyed. After Mushtaque narrated the entire story, Saanchi asked, ‘But, why did you doubt Mohit and Hemant?’. Mushtaque said, ‘Well, when I had met Sneha, I had seen a friendship band on her wrist. I saw the same friendship band on Mohit’s wrist. I felt there was some connection between Mohit and Sneha. However, the childhood pictures and videos of Khushi gave me the most important clue. I could not find Hemant in any of the videos or pictures where Khushi was a new born baby, an infant. I saw Hemant only in the pictures when Khushi had turned 2 years. That’s when I inquired further about Hemant and Mohit and followed Mohit through out.’ Saanchi said, ‘I knew my husband would definitely find Khushi and she will be safe.’ Mushtaque looked at Saanchi and said, ‘And how did you know?’ Saanchi smiled and said, ‘Because my husband is a hero.’ ‘Mushtaque then looked at Saanchi’s eyes and said, ‘Aha?’. Saanchi said, ‘Yes.’ Mushtaque then said teasingly, ‘Umm..now this hero needs his super hot heroine to come closer.’ Saanchi coyly said, ‘No. You are tired. You need to catch up on your sleep now.’ Saying that Saanchi tried to get up from the couch. Mushtaque pulled her closer, hugged her tight and they were lost in the world of love. Who knows what new adventure might come their way tomorrow………
