Somewhere in Mumbai...

It was a bank where there were lot of people. Some were withdrawing money while some came to keep their money in bank. Everyone was very busy but they were unaware of the upcoming danger.

Suddenly some people wearing hoodie and masks rushed inside holding guns.

"Ayee! Koi hilna nahi warna goli chal jayegi!"

The people got scared seeing the robbers and lifted up their hands.

"Jiske paas jitna bhi maal hai sab de de. Aur khabardabar koi hoshiyari dikhayi toh." Said a lady robber whose face was covered by mask but people gulped their saliva seeing her dangerous eyes.

They went to the counter and started taking all the money from there and kept them inside their bags.

After that they went to the people present there and started taking money and jewelleries from them.

A male robber went to an woman and said, "Jo bhi hai de fatafat. Time nahi hai apne paas."

Getting scared, the woman gave him everything except her diamond wedding ring.

"Woh bhi de." He said pointing towards the ring.

"Yeh rehne di jiye. Meri shaadi ki anguthi hai." Said the woman.

"Deti hai yaa uda doon teri bacchi ko?"

He said pointing his gun towards the woman's little daughter. But the lady robber noticed it and stopped his gang member.

"Ayee! Bacchi ko mat laa bich mein." She said angrily.

"Lekin woh anguthi...."

Before he could complete, she showed him her hand and said, "Main baat karti hai."

She went near the woman and said, "Kisne diyi thi yeh anguthi?"

"M..mere...pati ne..." Replied the woman timidly.

"Pati kya karta hai tera?"

"Businessman hai."

The lady robber gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Usse bolna dusra laa ke dene ko. Iss wali pe humari nazar pad chuki hai, toh yeh humari hui."

Saying that she slowly took out the ring from the woman's finger and kept it inside her bag. The woman couldn't even protest. Then she waved bye to the little girl.

After completing their work, they were about to leave when they heard the sound of siren. The police had arrived.

"Police aa gayi behn***d!" Screamed a gang member.

"Bhag zaldi!" Screamed the lady robber.

They all started running with their bags while the police started running behind them.

Suddenly a policeman fired near the lady robber's feet and she lost balance, bumped into a car and fell on the road.

A male robber stopped and said, "Sana uth zaldi!"

Sana tried to get up but failed. The guy saw the police coming and left from there with his bag leaving Sana behind.

Sana looked at the police who were coming towards her. She closed her eyes while cursing her luck.

Suddenly a smoking ball was rolled in between the road and within a second everywhere became full of smoke. As a result nobody could see anything.

Suddenly Sana felt some strong arms carrying her with her bag. She couldn't see the person because of smoke. And before she could react or say anything, the person took her away with him.

When the smoke disappeared, the police couldn't see Sana there and groaned in frustration.

"Kaun hai tu? Kyu uthaya mujhe? Neeche utar. Tu jaanta nahi main kaun hoon."

Sana kept saying to the person who was carrying her. He was also wearing a black hoodie and his full face was covered with mask.

"Maine bola utar mujhe." Screamed Sana.

Reaching a narrow and empty alley, the person took her down.

"Ahhh!" Whimpered Sana as there was a cramp on her ankle.

The person removed his own face mask and threw it away. Sana kept staring at his handsome face when he slowly removed her mask and handed it to her.

"Adda kidhar hai tera?" Asked the guy sternly.

Sana's thoughts broke by his voice.

She frowned and asked, "Tere se matlab?"

"Matlab hai isliye pucha. Fokat mein nahi bachaya tere ko. Ab baata kidhar ich hai tere gang ka adda."

"Abbe oo! Zyada shana ban ne ki koshish mat kar. Bachane ke liye thank you. Ab nikal pehli fursat mein."

Saying that she was about to leave but again whimpered. She couldn't move because of her cramped ankle.

The guy nodded in disbelief and again carried her with her bag.

"Ab yaaha se main tere ko do jagah pe lift de sakta hoon. Ek tera adda aur dusra police station. Kaha jaana hai woh tere marzi."

Sana sighed. Now she had no option.

"Seedha chal." She said.

The guy smirked and started walking to the direction she told.

After sometime they reached the den where there were many other men. They became surprised seeing Sana as they thought she was caught by the police.

"Sana tu thik hai?" Said a guy coming toward Sana.

Before she could reply, the person who was carrying her said, "Choti si chot aayi hai. Koi badi baat nahi hai. Zyada overacting karti hai yeh."

Sana looked at him angrily.

He made her sit on a nearby tool.

"Jeet, zara baraf le ke aa." Said Sana to the guy who nodded in yes and went to take ice for her.

"Tu kaun hai?" Asked a middle-aged man to the person who saved Sana.

He smiled and said, "Adaab Mustafa Bhai. Mera naam Sidharth hai. Aap chaho toh Sid bula sakte ho."

"Idhar kya kar raha hai?"

"Bhai apun seedhi baat karta hai. Aap ki gang member ko bachana bas ek bahana tha. Mere ko toh aap se milna tha. Woh Chotu chaiwala hai na? Uske muh se suna tha aap logo ke baare mein. Bohut bada gang hai aap logo ka. Mere ko apne gang mein shaamil kar li jiye."

Sana frowned hearing that. While the other gang members looked at each other.

"Humara dhanda malum hai na tere ko?" Asked Mustafa Bhai to which Sidharth nodded in yes.

"Iss se pehle kabhi yeh kaam kiya hai?"

"Chhoti moti choriya karta tha. Ek baar ek jwellery shop mein chori kiyi aur pakda gaya. 2 saal ki jail hui. Kuch din pehle hi jail se chhuta hoon. Mere ko abhi kuch bada karne ka hai. Isliye aap ke saath kaam karna chahta hoon."

"Hum tujhe apne gang mein shaamil kyu kare?"

"Aap ki gang member ke saath saath itna saara paisa aap ko lautaya. Iska kuch toh inaam banta hai."

Mustafa Bhai started thinking.

"Kaisa inaam?" Asked Sana. "Aise koi bhi humare gang mein shaamil nahi ho sakta. Mustafa Bhai aap iski baaton mein mat aaiye...."

"Tere se pucha kya? Gang ka leader main hoon tu nahi. Waise bhi aaj tere plan ki wajah se hum sab fasne wale the. Tu pure gang ko le ke doobne wali thi. Iss hi ne bachaya. Isliye chup baith." Said Mustafa Bhai sternly making Sana quiet.

Meanwhile Jeet came back with ice.

"Yeh le baraf." He said.

"Sar pe rakh mere." Said Sana making an annoyed face.

Mustafa Bhai went to Sid and said, "Chal liya tere ko apne gang mein. Lekin iss gang mein jitne bhi hai na, ek se badh kar ek kaminey hai. Tu kitna bada kamina hai yeh tere ko ek mahine ke andar shaabit karna padega. Samjha?"

"Ek hafte ke andar kar dunga Bhai." Said Sid confidently.

Mustafa Bhai smiled seeing his confidence.

Meanwhile Sana looked at him with anger and jealousy.

At Night...

Their den was very big. At the centre there was a big ground where all the meetings of the gang held. And there were few houses situated closely around the ground where the gang members lived. As Sid was new, he got the smallest room for himself.

Sid was walking in the ground while eating apple, suddenly Sana snatched the apple from his hand.

"Apple khaa raha hai? Acchi baat hai. Khana chahiye. Sehat ke liye accha hota hai. Thik jaise Sana se panga lena sehat ke liye bohut hanikarak hai." Said Sana.

Sid rolled his eyes hearing that.

"Aaj Mustafa Bhai ke saamne zyada hero ban raha tha. Unhone teri do tareefein kya kar di, tu toh hawa mein udd ne laga. Beta ek baat yaad rakhna, agar iss gang mein aane ke peeche tera koi aur maqsad hua, toh Mustafa Bhai tere ko chhorenge nahi."

Sid suddenly smells something and said, "Kahi se jalne ki boo aa rahi hai. Tere ko aa rahi hai kya?"

Sana didn't say anything and took off her eyes.

"Itna mat jal. Maana aaj bank loot te waqt apne gang ko tu lead kar rahi thi lekin police ko khabar lag gayi aur tu fail ho gayi. Par koi na, it's ok. Ab ek best student fail karega tabhi toh dusre student ko mauka milega na, best ki jagah lene ka."

He said pointing towards himself making Sana hell angry.

"Saale teri toh...."

She was coming to hit him when he hold her both hands and pinned her to the nearest tree. Sana was left stunned at his sudden action. Her eyes were fixed at his eyes while his breath fell on her face. It was another kind of sensation which rushed through her spines.

He slowly took the apple from her hand and said huskily, "Meri thi. Aur meri izazat ke bina meri chiz ko koi haath nahi laga sakta."

Sana just kept looking at his face.

"Kya kar raha hai be?" Shouted Jeet when Sidharth moved back. Sana also looked at another side.

Jeet came to Sana and asked, "Yeh tere ko pareshan toh nahi kar raha na?"

Sana nodded in no.

He looked at Sid and warned, "Sun, meri girlfriend hai yeh. Iske saath thoda tameez se pesh ana. Naya aaya hai isliye jaane de raha hoon."

Sid laughed and said, "Teri girlfriend hai? Ab main samjha tu subah isse road pe chhor ke kyu bhaga tha. Girlfriend aisi hogi toh koi bhi peecha chhurana chahega. Bechara!"

Saying that he left while laughing.

"Aaj hi aaya hai aur hekri toh dekh iski." Said Jeet.

"Iski hekri toh main nikalungi." Said Sana gritting her teeth. "Tu baata, Mustafa Bhai ne jo kaam diya tha, woh hua?"

"Hmm. Saala sach keh raha tha. Jail mein tha yeh do saal. Woh police mein apna informer hai na, khud confirm kiya hai usne. Mujhe nahi lagta isse hum gang se nikal paayenge."

Sana sighed being disappointed.

After sometime everyone went to their room.

Sana was sitting sadly on her bed when Jeet came and sat beside her.

"Itna sad face bana ke kyu baithi hai? Kahi tu uss chomu ki baaton ko dil pe toh nahi le rahi? Dekh main jaan bujh ke tujhe udhar chhor ke nahi aaya tha....."

Before he could explain further, Sana said, "Woh baat nahi hai. Teri jagah main hoti toh main bhi aisa ich karti. Uss waqt maal ko bachana zyada zaroori tha. Main bas soch rahi thi, uss bank mein sab par humari nazar thi. Phir police ko inform kiya kisne?"

"Unn saalon mein se hi kisi ne kiya hoga. Ek baar mil jaata na, toh kasam se chhorta nahi."

"Sahi mein. Na woh police ko inform karta, na Mustafa Bhai ko meri kabiliyat pe doubt hota aur naa hi uss Chomu ki entry hoti apne gang mein."

"Woh bohut khatak raha hai na tere ko? Tu kahe toh uske haath paao kaat ke kisi jungle mein phenk doon. Kisi ko khabar ich nahi hogi."

Sana nodded her head in disbelief and said, "Abe o akal ke dushman. Hum naa looterein hai, murderers nahi."

"Yeh bhi hai. Accha apun baad mein soch lenge uska kya karna hai. Filhaal tu bohut thaki hui lag rahi hai. Aa teri thakan dur karta hoon."

Saying that he started kissing her lips. At first Sana reciprocated but after sometime she pushed him.

"Aaj nahi yaar. Mood nahi hai." She said.

"Maana mat kar. Pure teen din baad aaya hoon tere paas." Said Jeet and started kissing her neck.

Sana again pushed him, this time using her force and said sternly, "Jabardasti nahi karne ka. Maine naa bola hai. Agar wait nahi kar sakta toh kahi aur jaa ke bhukh mita le apni."

Jeet sighed and stood up.

"Thik hai aaj jaa raha hoon. Kaal aaunga. Aur kaal koi bahana nahi chahiye." He said.

"Haan haan thik hai. Dafa ho abhi."

"Good night."

Saying that he left.

Sana closed the door, switched off the lights and lied on her bed. Soon she fell asleep.

At Midnight...

Sana's sleep broke when she suddenly heard a melodious tune. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Itni raat ko yeh awaz kaha se aa rahi hai?" She thought.

She sat up and went near the window. She saw Sid playing mouth-organ sitting near a tree. A smile came to Sana's face hearing the tune. But her expression changed immediately. She made an angry face and left from her room.

Sid was busy playing the mouth-organ when suddenly he was hit by a small stone. He looked behind and saw Sana standing.

He stood up and said making an irritated face, "Abe teri problem kya hai?"

"Tu." Replied Sana angrily. "Jab se aaya hai, dimaag kharab kar ke rakha hai. Ab raat ko chain se so bhi nahi sakti kya main?"

"Maine tere ko maana kiya hai kya sone se?"

"Nahi. Lekin raat bhar tera yeh band baja chalta raha na toh main nahi so paaungi."

"Accha? Phir baki sab kaise so rahe hai?"

"Unke kaan ke saamne jaa ke bhi tu yeh band baja bajayega na, toh bhi unki neend nahi khulegi. Lekin meri neend khul gayi. Isliye idhar yeh sab nahi chalega. Apna khud ka kamra mila hai na tere ko? Udhar jaa aur darwaza band kar ke jitna marzi band-baja baja. Mere ko sone de."

Sidharth sighed and said, "Waise toh main kisi ke baap ki nahi sunta. Lekin itni raat ko tere saath ladne mein mere ko koi interest nahi hai. Isliye jaa raha hoon."

He made a face and left from there.

Sana crossed her arms and said in her mind, "Tune gang join toh kar liya hai. Lekin do din ke andar tere ko iss gang se bahar nikaal ke phekungi. Jo mere ko pasand nahi, uski iss gang mein koi jagah nahi."

Few days passed. As Sid said, he proved himself to be a worthy gang member just within a week. Mustafa Bhai gave him tasks to test him and he passed all of them. Even he helped to execute some small robberies which impressed Mustafa Bhai. He understood that their gang needs Sid.

On the other hand, Sana tried hard to throw him out of the gang but everytime she failed. Sid became apple of Mustafa Bhai's eyes which bothered Sana as till then she was his favourite. It was like Sid took her place in a few days. All gang members were on his side except a few. Because of that Sana started hating him to the core. And it was same from Sid's side. He also couldn't tolerate her infront of his eyes as she was a obstacle in his way. They both became each other's biggest enemy.

One month passed. Finally they got a big consignment. A very rich business called Jagdish Seth was coming to India for the exhibition of his famous idol made of gold and diamonds. Their work was to steal it at any cost.

Mustafa Bhai was telling his gang members about the idol.

"300 saal purani murti hai woh jo Seth Sahab ke purvajon ko kisi Raja ne inaam ke rup mein diya tha. Aaj ke zamane mein iski keemat 3 crore se bhi zyada hai. Iss Sunday ko 12 baje uss murti ko logo ko dikhaya jayega. Uss se pehle murti ek band kamre mein rakha jayega. Woh kamra logo ke liye khola jaye uss se pehle humein woh murti chori karni hai. Bahar Seth Sahab ke guards honge, police bhi hogi. Chori karna easy nahi hoga. Isliye yeh plan lead karne ki zimmedari milegi humare gang ke sabse kaabil member ko."

As soon as Mustafa Bhai said this, Sana smiled thinking that he was talking about her.

She was about to come forward when Mustafa Bhai said, "Sid! Idhar aa."

Sid smiled and went to Mustafa Bhai leaving Sana shocked. Her face fell.

"Sid iss plan ko lead karega aur usko follow karenge Sana, Jeet...."

Before he could complete, Sana shouted, "Kabhi nahi! Main isko kabhi follow nahi karungi."

"Awaz neeche." Said Mustafa Bhai sternly.

"Maaf ki jiye Bhai lekin mere khayal se iss plan ko mere ko lead karna chahiye. Yeh naya aaya hai aur main saalon se idhar hoon. Experience zyada hai mere paas." She said.

"Pichli baar jab tune lead kiya tha, kya hua tha yaad hai na?"

"Mustafa Bhai main insaan hai. Galti ho gayi mere se. Lekin hum pakde gaye? Nahi na? Ek galti ke liye 12 saal se jo kuch bhi karti aayi hoon iss gang ke liye woh sab bhul gaye aap? Aap mere ko best kehte the. Aur iss do din ke launde ne itni asani se meri jagah leli? Main yeh nahi sahegi. Yaa toh aap mere ko lead di jiye yaa phir main iss plan ka hissa hi nahi hai. Bas baat khatam." Said Sana and left from there being upset.

Mustafa Bhai looked at Sid and said, "Dekh agar tere ko lead chahiye, toh isko maana na padega. Maana paaya toh acchi baat hai warna plan ka lead isse hi dena hoga. Kyu ki iske bina yeh chori nahi ho sakti."

Sid smirked and said, "Tension mat lo Mustafa Bhai. Isko toh main sambhal lunga."
