Jeet made two calls while he freshened up.
First call was to Gurpreet Walia.
" Yes your highness", he answered on the first ring.
" Deepak approved online tracking of two administrative officers, five bankers and three of my ministers. Get jailbait on it asap", he said.
" Sure", replied Guru. " Though we just have circumstancial Evidence".
" That's the reason Mr. Gandhi refused any official action", said Jeet.
" Deepak won't be happy", mused Guru.
" That's putting it mildly. He was p*ssed outright", replied Jeet.
He heard Guru chuckle.
"Find a way to bring Mustafa to me. Today Walia", he said.
" Tough", he said.
" You don't get paid for easy jobs"., said Jeet.
"What else sir", he asked.
" Speak my schedule for the week. Anything important", he queried.
" A council meeting today afternoon. A press conference day after tomorrow. And a party at Viru's on Friday", said Guru.
" Viru got something ", asked Jeet.
" Circumstancial Evidence sir. Meeting is for the election funding ".
Jeet cursed. " Fine keep digging and pull those travel reforms upfront. Release them before the central election announcement. Plus the money of below poverty line revised amount ", he said.
" Sure".
He cut the call.
The second call was to Zeeshan Qureshi.
" Yes Dragon ", he picked immediately.
" Give me the updates on Zeenat situation ", he said.
" She is confessing to Father as we speak. Josef is outside her room with her family. The priest agreed to co-operate with the police", he said.
" Hmmm...keep me updated", he said.
" Sure".
" Arrange a meeting with your team on the day of Viru's party . Morning", he said. " Inform Viru".
Then with a sigh he told
" Rash will be at the party".
" Why don't you just take a gun and shoot all of us", asked Zeeshu.
" I pay you well Qureshi. Don't be a drama queen. That job is reserved for Walia".
" Yes sir and f*ck you".
Zeeshan cut the call.
Jeet joined the two lovely ladies and Kash for breakfast. Chanchal looked pake. She had her head down. She ate very little he noticed.
" Are you down with fever Angel", asked Jeet.
She snapped her head up.
" N.n.no", she shook her head.
He wasn't convinced
He put a hand to her head.
" Na..n.no d.don't t.touch", she moved her chair back in a hurry.
It slipped and she was about to fall.
" Ooohhhh", she closed her eyes.
A pair of strong hands prevented her fall. She was engulfed with his scent. Her senses worked overtime. And her body gave up.
" Sir p.please", she closed her eyes.
" You are burning.....Rash", called Jeet.
" Chi Chi", both her friends spoke in unison.
Rash hurried up and put her head on Chi Chi's forehead.
" Damn it one day when he is required and that same day the mosquito goes missing else was hovering around her", she cursed.
" I am calling him. Qureshi can handle", said Jeet.
Adhi arrived with Dev.
" What happened", he asked worriedly.
" She is burning up", Jeet pointed to Chanchal and called Shaun.
" What's up your highness", he asked.
" Get your ass in here. Chanchal is burning up. Did you notice? Some great love", he seethed in anger.
" I am coming ", nobody was stopping Shaun now. " Handle the mess here" he said to Zeeshu and left.
By the time Shaun arrived Chanchal was in bed. Kash and Rash were wiping her hot body. Jeet was smoking in the balcony.
Adhi stopped him.
" A hundred and three. Nobody noticed. Jeet thought she looked pale. She collapsed over him", he said.
" I shouldn't have left", he said in guilty.
" Go to her", said Adhi.
As he entered Chanchal's room Rash came to him and slapped him hard on the cheek. Her fingerprint was visible.
Kash pulled her back and started moving out.
" LEAVE ME AAH DIVA", she screamed.
" B*tch please that little fool over there needs a doctor now. If you murder him or maim him we will have a problem ", he said calmly. " About time you could use some restraint ".
" Where the hell are you taking me", she hissed.
" To your husband ", then her turned to Shaun and said. " We measured it was a hundred and three. We gave paracetamol. She is shivering and delirious. She is murmuring something. She was quite agitated about her situation with you, Jeet, Rash and her husband".
" Thanks Kaul", said Shaun.
" I'll murder you later", Rash quipped from behind.
" Sure fighter", he said.
Kash all but hauled her out.
" God you put on weight b*tch", he said as he landed her in balcony.
Jeet chuckled.
" Talk about weight gain and I'll maim you", she said.
" You need a psychiatrist. Your homicide tendencies are flaring up", said Kash.
" Look where am I standing ", she told him.
" Dragon's house. Can you blame me"?
" I suggest keep guns and sharp objects like knives away from her range for now ", said Kash to Jeet.
" Nah fire comes first though I don't mind she burning this down. Hard day. Cigarette ", he asked Kash.
" Sure".
Kash lit a cigarette.
" I slapped him", she told Jeet.
" He deserves it", Jeet was not bothered.
" I need to speak with someone on security here. I had a spat with the b*stard. As long as you and father are here my security stays. Assh*le was telling me his team can manage. Some f*cking management. Two attacks on you in last month".
He took a long puff.
" I won't argue Jeet. There is a mole in here", said Rash.
" Hmmm anyone you saw love", he asked
" Back view. I feel a woman. You see it all happened so fast", she said as she snuggled to him.
F*cking circumstancial Evidence again thought Jeet.
" You can talk to a Mr. Manya..uumm he is a bit umm I mean", she tried.
" He is Dragon's thug. And he looks like one", said Kash exhaling a smoke.
" Can you just sugarcoat it", scowled Rash.
" Look who is talking about mellowing down", taunted Kash. " Pretty sure Dr. Josef is sporting that fingerprint for the day. Wonder what he is going to tell to others"?
Jeet chuckled as Rash glared at him.
" Anyone else", he asked.
" Megha", she said. " Chanchal's bodyguard. She took a bullet for her".
Jeet nodded.
Meanwhile
Chanchal was awake. Her fever broke down. And the first thing she saw ...a tear filled face with an angry handprint which turned purple.
" Ohh God Shaun who hit you", Chanchal caressed his cheek.
Shaun closed his eyes.
" How are you", he asked.
" I just had a high temperature. Mr. Oberoi created a fuss", she replied. " Ohh God there is a cut too"!
She cleaned it using a tissue .
Shaun kept his eyes closed.
" Rash I am sure it was her. I am sorry Shaun", she said.
" Don't be", he replied. " She is avenging you".
" From you no Shaun", she hugged him.
He hid his face in her neck...
" I love you", he said.
Tears flew from her eyes...
" I .I..S.Shaun I..f.feel that w.way too..But..S Sumeet. R.Rash..", she couldn't tell him about Jeet. " I ..b.bad girl", she cried.
Shaun looked at her.
" No Chanchal sweetheart . Love is not a bad thing", he said. " Did you work yourself sick thinking about it".
She looked guilty.
" Fool", said Shaun as he kissed her forehead.
" Rash should not go and hit anyone", she kissed his cheek.
" You didn't see her", Shaun argued on Rash's side.
" Circumstancial Evidence", she showed the fingerprint.
Shaun burst out laughing as Chanchal joined him too thus ending all the awkwardness between them.
