***
Sanyukta took her seat as the driver opened the door for her while Randhir took the other side. He was silent and looked outside through the window, or at least it was the direction his face was turned to...considering the fact that he still had his face hidden. Sanyukta looked at him with her eyes filled in a strange desire to know the person sitting next to her, there was something in his persona that increased her curiosity somewhere. Despite everything he has done to her, he stroke her curiosity...there was something to about him... she could not figure out what though.
May be it was the adrenaline that came with dealing with such a dangerous man, may be it was her own curiosity, may be her stupidity...may be all of them ... but she couldn't help the next set of words that came out of her mouth.
"Umm... I was wondering" She tangled her fingers in her lap, "Since you know everything about me, don't you think I should know you guys as well"
He kept silent.
"Come On! Yaar I don't even know your name" she huffed. ...Mr.Gangster was a very fitting name sure, but certainly it was not the one given by his mother, the one used when he was still a 2 years old baby...she giggled at the thought...it was weird imagining him in diapers... it was even weirder than imaging your parents in diapers...which was already a very disturbing image...because as per every children their parents had always been...well parents... thinking about them as children was just plain wrong !
"Come on Mr. Gangster say something, I feel like am talking to wall..." she waved her hand in front of him. He didn't open his mouth, still looking outside.
"Ok let me help you...A conversation is a form of interactive, spontaneous communication between TWO or more people where it is expected from ALL the involved parties to react on what has been previously said" sanyukta sarcastically explained.
"Mr. Gangster?... At least tell me your name yaar" she tried again. She didn't know what made her talk so freely with him. She just wanted to know more about him... Ok I stop you right there, NOT in that way. It was just plain curiosity !
He thought of testing her patience a bit more.
"I think he likes being called Mr. Gangster" she muttered under her breath looking in other way.
"Randhir" He spoke huskily, she turned her eyes his way but his posture still didn't change.
At least he told her his name, it was a good start, wasn't it ?
If she was going to stay with them for some time, at least she could try to make it enjoyable... well as enjoyable as kidnapping can be, thought Sanyukta back in her mind. Besides the less she got on their nerves, the less they were likely to hurt her daughter.
"Well nice to meet you Randhir" she extended her hand for him to shake.
But he completely ignored her.
"Whatever" she retreated back her hand "at least we have successfully aligned 2 words without yelling at each other, it's an accomplishment in itself !" she stated proudly and smiled.
"Hey do you even know where I live ?" She turned towards him and asked. "Oh yeah stupid question, of course you will know you have been stalking me for the past one month, right ?"
"25 days" he corrected her.
Seriously he corrected her for THAT ?...thought Sanyukta...One month...25 days ...same thing ! Some people took the saying "time is money" way too seriously, she concluded !
"Yeah whatever" she dismissed him with her hand, "but the point is that you guys are the first ones to have successfully kidnapped me" she said.
"Congratulation !" ...she was sure of it, she was the first captive that was congratulating her kidnappers for ...well kidnapping her...but they deserved it, it was not an easy task !
"I made sure not to leave any traces and took lot of precautions to hide my identity, but phir be you guys found me... am kind of impressed" she said, unconsciously putting her hand on his arm while talking.
As soon as her hand came in contact with his skin Randhir turned her way. The quick movement surprised her and her eyes landed on the hand resting on his arm.
"Oops...wo hum... so-sorry" she quickly removed her hand. She cleared her throat and averted her eyes...Awkward. ...Without forgetting the weird silence the usually follows these kind of moments... When you look everywhere but at each other.
"She is not that bad... when she is not showing attitude or ordering around that is", thought Randhir.
Tired of the uneasy atmostphear, Sanyukta spoke up.
"Hey why is your face always hidden ?" Inquired Sanyukta, she was surprised that even in the company of his own gang members he didn't show his face.
No response.
"Are you that ugly ?" She teased him. Ok now that was her curiosity talking !
"The extreme opposit, actually" he said cockily.
Sanyukta smiled at his response. Sir Cunningham law always worked ! The best way to get an answer to your question is not to ask the question.. it's to give the wrong answer. Because there will always be persons to correct you ! ...Tested and approved !
"Oh then the saying : the devil always comes in good looks, has been invented after you..." she laughed putting a hand on her mouth.
"Be careful... a devil is very good at tempting" he warned her in amusement.
"Oh please" said sanyukta putting a hand on her chest. "It takes more than good looks to interest me" she seriously informed him. Seriously you can't spend all your life with just a handsome face... there has to be more.
Randhir didn't answer back.
The rest of the ride went in silence. After another ten minutes they arrived at their destination. They stood under a multi-story building she recognized was hers. She hopped out and went with him to the elevator. At her doorstep she pushed her finger on the key lock and the latches unlocked. He looked at her antics quietly, once inside he told her a few things she ought to be aware of.
"Pick up all the stuff you need" he spoke intently.
"This is my house, obviously I need everything in here" she replied back and rolled her eyes at his instruction.
"You have 15 minutes" he completed his sentence looking at his wrist watch and glancing around in her house.
Sanyukta was more concerned about him roaming freely in her house than packing her stuff. She kept on looking at him as he went toward her living area watching her house.
"Be fast! You can check me out later" his voice came, without even him looking at her.
"How the hell did he know I was looking at him..." she muttered.
"I was not checking you out" she shouted back.
Sanyukta suddenly remembered something... "Kill me now !" She thought. She sprinted after him. ...guess what ladies ?...once again her dignity was at stake ! Wonderful !
She came to an alt upon seeing the scene in front of her... she closed her eyes in utter embarasement...it was too late.
Randhir was openly staring at the 2 or 3 pairs of lingerie sprawled out on her sofa. Her faced reddened. He was openly admiring her inners without a care in the world.
"Nice choice, I wonder how they look on you" he acted as if he was imagining her in them.
"Stop that ! you pervert" she screamed out of humiliation.
"Stop what darling ?" He said with amusement. He turned his face toward her and pushed slowly his head backwards, peaking under his hoodie, eyeing her from bottom to top.
Sanyukta saw him smirking, as his head went backward she almost had a glimpse of his eyes but he quickly turned away.
"Urrrgh... just stop" she ordered quickly grabbing her stuff. If only he knew how close he was to seeing her in them. "Yeah am talking about my damn phone. I have to get it back at some point", she made a mental note.
"I wonder where you were when your parents were teaching you manners" she muttered under her breath.
But Randhir heard her and the next second Sanyukta was harshly pined on the wall. His hands painfully crushing her delicate wrists. He mouth dangerously close to her.
"Do not talk about things you know nothing about" he yelled at her applying pressure on her wrist.
Sanyukta was shocked...what the hell happened, just minute ago they were talking normally... she winced in pain. "Here I was starting to think that you were not that bad, but thanks for reminding me what a monster you are " she coldly said.
"Don't.ever.talk.about.things.you.don't.know" he whisper yelled, stressing each word.
"Is that clear ?!" he shouted. No response came from Sanyukta
"I SAID IS THAT CLEAR ?" he shouted loudly.
Sanyukta was not the kind to bow down, but she was not in the position to argue either. Eyes on the floor, swallowing down her ego, she whispered "yes" refusing to look at him. ...Oh she will make him pay !
He grabbed her jaw. "Look at me and repeat that !" he shouted, asserting his power on her ...The first thought that came to Sanyukta's mind was "more like "look at my hoodie and repeat that""...but now was not the time to play with words ! ...On the other hand he could not really tell if she was looking at him or not, he only knew she was looking at the floor because she had her head down. An idea came to her. She aligned her face to his, and raised her eyes to the ceiling.
"Yes" she said. That settled more with her ego, she had not bowed down completely !
"And yes I am a monster never forget that" he pushed her away and left.
***
After their clash she silently packed her stuff and they headed back to the den.
The car drove back in the driveway, back to the high profile captive, she sighed.
The car halted and he made his way out, followed by Sanyukta for whom driver took out the language. She pulled her suitcase up when Sahil approaches her,
"Darling Let me take care of this" he offered his help.
"I'm surprised at the way you guys change your colors, even putting the chameleon at shame" she joked with him and both shared a laugh.
"Some people can never understand the seriousness of their situations" Randhir thought viewing them laugh.
"I think you have better things to do Sahil, Leave" He pointed out to Sahil, who scooted his way away. He paused for a moment, his hooded face staring at Sanyukta.
***
Their phones beeped, Randhir sat on the table awaiting them to finalized the details of their next mission.
"So what's the progress?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"I met some of my sources, seems there is some changes due to Sahil's intervention and they are not active anymore" Parth explained his part.
"I did alerted some brokers on purpose and so they are laying low for some time" Sahil explained showing him some papers.
"And that gives us some time to gather up more information on our culprits" Vidhushi added.
"We need to catalyze our processes, Maybe we can take them down now." Parth spoke up finally.
"The mission starts tomorrow. We have 5 days. It's dangerous but we have no other option" Randhir looked at them, they nodded in assurance.
"As we are all going on a different locations, I want everyone's phone to be reachable anytime, is it clear ?" They nodded.
"Take five men with you this time, weapons, resources whatever you need. Prepare yourselves. Good luck!" he concluded, dismissing them.
***
Night came over, the only noise that could be heard was tinkling of spoons knocking the porcelain. The dinner was unusually quiet. Sanyukta couldn't help but notice the weird silence that not only hovered in the room but on their faces as well. None of them was looking at the other, no exchanges of words, no bowls passing...nothing. The atmosphear was kind of tense.
"Is everything okay? why do you guys look like you are attending a funeral ?" she asked in her usual sarcastic tone, earning the attention from all the eyes towards her. They now exchanged looks and finally turned their heads towards Randhir.
"We will be gone on a mission from tomorrow, no one will come back before 5 days except for me, I'll come back on the third day to check on you. Meanwhile you will stay here and work according to my rules" Randhir spoke glaring her.
"And before you run your brain for an escape plan...Just remember about Tara" he got up and left the table.
***
Her name was being repeated continuously, she couldn't take it anymore. She got up furiously, ready to grab the next thing coming her way and hitting the intruder of her beauty sleep.
"Is that a way to wake up someone ?!" she lashed out on the intruder.
"Come On! Darling you know I've better ways to wake you up. But I can't just waste my time now, am in a hurry... next time I promise" Came his voice, bringing her back to senses.
"Here" Randhir handed her photographs when she got a bit to her senses, "Find everything you can about them"
He turned to leave but turned back, "And don't try anything funny. I'll be watching you" he pointed.
His eyes darted down and wanderd there a few second before he left.
Sanyukta looked down as well, and groaned at what she saw... her top was misplaced revealing the upper part of her cleavage... Great ! ...But what do you expect barging in the room when the occupant is sleeping... these were common accidents !
***
Sanyukta thought of this as an opportunity, her mind wandering to her daughter. She tried to think about all possible locations they could have kept her. Then she thought of going through the history of the security cameras in her house. She had them placed for security purpose, being Falcon was not easy !
"Someone must have gone to get her." she thought.
Her eyes widened as she saw Randhir leaving with Tara in the wee hours of the night. There she was darn right.
"Only he knows about her" She straightened her neck backwards, "I have to trace you Randhir"
She switched back to her screen and concluded to trace Randhir, as at some point he was bound to go back to her.
