Chapter 40: 39~ Friends again

Love, Vengeance And RedemptionWords: 16563

Aryan and Jaydev entered the private party with two of Jaydev's officers and around 10 men of Aryan. The whole hall is filled with dazzling lights. Many high standard people are present with their partners and some are single. Jaydev recognised some of them. He believes more than half of them are criminals.

" Are you sure we won't be attacked?"

Jaydev looked at Sahir- Aryan's friend as he asked Aryan.

" Nope," Aryan replied carelessly and they took their respective seats. Jaydev fixed his jacket and said to Aryan,

" Why the hell have you brought me here and kept my team as watchmen?"

Aryan grabbed two glasses of wine from the waiter and handed one to him.

" Do not speak and just enjoy the damn party."

Jaydev made a face and roamed his eyes around. There is a lot of itching in his hands to kill all the criminals here. They have committed such crimes that he cannot even think about them.

He frowned as he saw some female dancers entering the hall.

" W..what the hell?"

Sahir and Aryan looked at Jaydev whose eyes enlarged with shock seeing the outfit of dancers. They are hardly wearing anything. Their blouse is deep necked, exposing their cleavage. Their belly is fully exposed and the skirt's band is just an inch above their lower region. Their legs are fully exposed as the skirt is slit from the either side.

Aryan and Sahir laughed.

" Just don't look at them, dude," Sahir said.

Jaydev clenched his jaw and felt like putting the bullet in both of these men's heads. Shefali came to them and whispered in his ear.

" Khan has arrived. Guests are making their way to the party."

Jaydev nodded at him and glanced at Aryan, sipping his wine and watching people keenly. What the hell has he planned?

Dancers greeted everyone and began their show, in which Aryan, Jaydev, Sahir and their team were least interested.

" Sir, do you think we are doing okay?"

Shefali asked Jaydev who nodded before saying, " I trust him."

" That's so kind of you," Aryan replied.

Jaydev rolled his eyes and rested his back against the couch. Lust was clearly flashing in the eyes of the men looking at the dancers and the surprising thing was that their girlfriends and wives had no problem as if they were used to it.

Jaydev is sure that if Shruti was here, she would have gouged out his eye.

Aryan chuckled at the thought of Pakhi reacting to all this. She would have definitely got this show shut down.

Jaydev's patience came to a drastic end so he looked at Aryan and uttered angrily, " I can't even see Shekhar Rao's shadow here. According to my soldiers, the show started at that place. I swear Aryan if I fail I will throw you in the dung."

Aryan made a disgusting expression and put the glass down.

" Chii!"

Aryan irked. Shefali laughed listening to their conversation and felt many stares on herself.

" Sir, I think... I am not safe here," she voiced her worry to Jaydev.

Aryan leaned forward to look at her and said, " com'on, woman, you are an officer. Who can harm you?"

Shefali shook her head in disbelief. This man is unnecessarily chill. Due to loud music and the prime focus of dancers, people paid no attention to their conversation.

The party went on and they spent 45 minutes sitting in the same place. Jaydev was losing his patience, especially after witnessing stupid things like men touching dancers in not so appropriate manner.

" Your waiting comes to an end here," Aryan whispered to Jaydev who frowned.

Just then an announcement was made.

" Ladies and Gentlemen, can I have your attention please."

Everyone looked at the stage. Dancers stepped aside. The man smiled and continued speaking in the mic,

" The moment you've all been waiting for has arrived. The show organiser, Shekar Rao couldn't attend the party but he has sent his trusted man in his place. Please welcome, Karan Khanna."

Smirk casted on Aryan and Sahir's lips while Jaydev and his two officer's eyes enlarged. Shefali received a message and was shocked to see it. Jaydev peaked at her mobile and saw Khan's message.

We have been fucking fooled. There's a usual party going on here. There are kids here as well.

Shefali and Jaydev looked into each other's eyes before looking at the stage when Karan Khanna stepped there. He grabbed the mic and started giving a speech which lasted 2 minutes.

" Let the show begin!"

Karan announced.

Aryan leaned his mouth closer to Jaydev and whispered, " let the show begin. Call your officers near the party area."

Jaydev clicked his tongue and felt like giving a tight hug to his friend. He passed the same message to Shefali who nodded and did her work.

Shefali, Jaydev and Mahesh touched their guns and focused on the show. Now, they can take care of the rest of the business. Aryan opened the door for them and it was enough.

The show began and one by one the anchor called young girls on stage. People bid on them at the highest price. And slowly the girls started selling to their owner.

" How many?"

Jaydev asked Shefali.

" Until now 30 girls."

Jaydev nodded and looked at Aryan, " won't you come with us?"

Aryan shook his head, " this is your mission. Me and my men will escape on time."

Jaydev turned his gaze at Karan Khanna, talking with a man and sipping his drink. He looked at Shefali who nodded at him, knowing what she has to do now. She hid her gun in a thigh holster and covered it with her gown.

She tucked the strands of her hair behind the ear and stood up before making her way to Karan's direction.

Aryan frowned and asked Jaydev, " will she be able to do the work? Karan is a very clever man."

" She is no less. Just wait for a while."

Aryan nodded and the function went on. 15 more girls were presented on the stage. They were all sent to a room to get ready.

Jaydev smirked when Shefali successfully was able to grab Karan's attention and he made his way to her. He touched her arms, thigh while talking to her.

" She will not leave him," Mahesh said.

Jaydev hummed and stood up along with him when Shefali and Karan went upstairs.

Aryan stared at them leaving the hall.

" You sure they don't need our help? They are just 3," Sahir asked.

" They will handle it. Jay has a criminal mind," Aryan said.

Sahir chuckled, " he should have joined us then."

Aryan shook his head and smiled, " His conscience will not allow him. The day he wore the uniform, he decided that he would always stand for the protection of the people. His father had a dream that he should become a policeman."

Sahir passed an impressed look. Aryan looked around. Fortunately, nobody got an idea what was happening to Karan Khanna. Even his guards.

Meanwhile,

Shefali cursed mentally when he pushed her on the bed and started unbuckling his belt.

" Cool down," she sat up and grabbed his hand.

" No," he again pushed her back on the bed. She clenched her jaw. She widened her eyes when he tied her hands with his belt and hovered over her.

Shit!

She thought and gulped. Karan cupped her neck and brought his lips closer to her. He smirked and put his lips on her jaw instead.

She fisted her hand and felt disgusted. She did not expect this. She thought it would be easy to handle him.

Suddenly, her breath hitched when he whispered against her ear,

" How's it, officer?"

Colour drained from her face.

..

Aryan touched his ear piece when he heard Jaydev's voice.

" Everything's done. I need 5 minutes."

He nodded and glanced upstairs where Jaydev is present. Mahesh is probably gone to save girls.

" Let's go out," he said to Sahir and left the hall with his men.

Jaydev frowned, finding the door locked from inside in which Shefali is present. He stopped his movement when heard a laughing sound from the room. It was surely Karan.

Shefali watched the men confusedly as he laughed like a maniac while sitting beside her. He tore her gown from thigh and grabbed her gun.

" Do you think of me as a fool? Do you think you brought me here? You stupid bitch. But I liked you.."

He rubbed his temple with the back of the gun and added,

" I will keep you as my personal whore. Isn't it a great idea?"

She irked as he brought his face closer to her. Her body burned with irritation when he stuck out his tongue and licked the side of her neck up to her jaw.

He laughed again but soon stopped when a loud blast occurred. Was it a bomb blast?

He got down from the bed and now it was Shefali's time to smirk. He grabbed the doorknob and twisted it to open it. He stepped out of the room and stood at the balcony.

Jaydev quickly went inside the room. He was hidden behind the vase. Karan, thankfully failed to see him.

Karan frowned seeing nothing unusual in the hall. But he heard the sound of a bomb.

His eyes widened and he screamed on the top of his tongue, " GET THE FUCKING GIRLS!"

His guards obeyed.

He clenched his jaw and loaded the gun in his hand while going back to the room.

He raised his gun to the bed but Shefali wasn't there. He frowned and his eyes fixated outside the window. Shiver ran down his spine as he took slow and steady steps to the window. He opened the curtains. He grabbed the edge of the window. His face glowed brightly due to fire which had catched the whole outhouse in which girls were presented.

The news reached the hall soon and confusion, shock and commotion spread there.

Karan came back to his senses and stood straight to turn around but just when he turned his back to the window, he came across a man.

Shefali was standing right at the entrance. He clenched his jaw and slowly raised his hands. A smirk carved on Jaydev's lips while Shefali came forward and put handcuffs on Karan's wrist. He glared at him.

" So the cops really started the war against us?"

" Shut up!"

Shefali said and they took him out, from the other way. Of course they do not want others to get a glimpse. His phone rang and Shefali took it out from his pocket.

" Boss! Girls are not here," his men informed.

Shefali and Jaydev smirked and she quickly disconnected the call then threw the mobile back. Cops were already waiting outside. Jaydev put his gun down before taking the lead.

" Take him to the police station."

He ordered and officers pulled him out of the hall. Jaydev and Shefali went to the outhouse. Mahesh came to them.

" Where's the girls?"

" All 45 girls are saved. They are sent to the police station."

Jaydev nodded, " inform Ravi sir."

Mahesh nodded and three of them also left from there.

◕✧◕

Jaydev and Aryan laughed after arriving at a park.

" For a moment, I thought I lost. But nope! Mahesh blasted the bomb at the right time."

Aryan chuckled and clicked his bottle of marinda with him. They gulped down the drink in one go and threw the bottles in the dustbin.

" Then?"

" Then what? We caught him. His face was worth seeing."

Aryan lay down on the grass followed by him. They stretched their arms then together folded their arms under their heads.

" I had an adventurous day after so long."

Jaydev remarked.

" What will you do to him now?"

Jaydev shrugged his shoulders, " Ravi sir might call soon and give next orders. We do not want people to know about capturing him yet."

Aryan nodded and watched the night sky. Silence erupted between them which was broken by Jaydev.

" Thank you."

" For... helping me. But how could they not recognise us?"

" The batch I gave you, which means you are a member of our gang."

" Then, Karan Khanna suspects your gang now because I did not remove the batch while arresting him."

Aryan smiled, " let them."

" Means you called a war as well?"

Aryan nodded, " we were, by the way, waiting for this opportunity only."

Jaydev turned his gaze back at the sky and uttered again after some minutes of silence,

" Uhm.. do you not want to talk about the past?"

He seemed hesitant. Aryan's eyebrows furrowed a little and he failed to string his words together. Jaydev sat up and ruffled his hair. He took a deep breath and said without looking at his face,

" I want to know.. please."

Aryan smiled slightly and sat up as well. Both of them stared at the swing before them and recalled how they used to come to his park only to have fun.

" It's.. complicated," Aryan sighed.

Jaydev still does not look at his face. He could not gather courage.

" The night of which you got the video... it wasn't true but it wasn't a lie either. That was a farewell party in which you couldn't come because Pakhi was terribly sick. Eisha did not want to go alone, so called me. I had no time to inform you. Someone spiked our drinks that night. I could barely keep my eyes open. We went to a room because she was feeling weird in the crowd. Eisha got unconscious and I was not completely okay. When I grabbed my phone to call you, someone hit my head from behind. Then the next day, you received those pictures."

Jaydev frowned and Aryan continued,

" I was able to gather proof that nothing happened between us. Eisha even did a medical checkup to prove you but someone again destroyed those reports and planned her accident. Thankfully the accident was minor. Nothing happened to her and you melted seeing her condition. Your relationship with her got better but it got worse with me. Our rival groups are successful in provoking you against me. Withing 10 days of that incident, Eisha committed suicide."

Jaydev gulped down his saliva and dropped his eyelashes to the grass. Aryan felt his eyes filling up and voice cracking when he said further,

" Believe me, I cannot do this even in my dreams. She was like a sister to me. You put several blames on me.. I was unaffected but you called.. me..you called me a cheater like my biological mother. How.. how could I not be affected then?"

Jaydev bit his lower lip and tears rolled down from his eyes.

" Ab.. ab bhi vishwas nahi tujhe-"

( You still don't believe me.)

Aryan was interrupted in the middle when Jaydev threw his arms around him and hugged him tightly. Aryan smiled and reciprocated the hug.

" Mujhe maaf kar de yaar.. mai kuch soch hi ni paya aur paglon ki tarah tujh par shaq kara.."

( Forgive me.. I could not think of anything and started doubting you like mad.)

Aryan's smile turned wider and tears streamed down from his eyes. The moon shines brighter in the sky as two best friends let out their emotions through eyes and meet once again.

Aryan patted his back and broke the hug. Jaydev wiped his tears with the back of his hands.

" I am really sorry."

Aryan made a face, " ab kitna royega saale."

( How long will you cry now?)

Jaydev hugged him once again and Aryan burst into laughter.

" Mujhe shaq hai tujhe mere liye feelings hai."

( I suspect you have feelings for me.)

Jaydev smiled and tightened the hold. He feels he is back home. He feels like he is the most powerful man in the world now because he has got his friend back. He knew Aryan could never do this but stayed in denial always.

" Ab bas kar," Aryan irked and pushed him. Jaydev laughed and wiped his wet cheeks.

( Enough now.)

" Why? Are you feeling shy?"

" Biwi hai meri ab. Tujhe ni jaanta ab mai," Aryan replied and Jaydev chuckled.

( I have a wife now. I don't know you.)

" The English teacher was very happy with our fight," Aryan said.

" Because we had stopped talking nonsense in his class," Jaydev replied.

" Aur vo kutte ka pilla? Jatin fucking patel tried to grab my position," Aryan scoffed.

( That puppy.)

Jaydev laughed and lay down on the grass, " Maine kabhi aane ni diya use."

( I did not let him come ever.)

" Chup be. Maine dhamka rakha tha use," Aryan said and stood up.

( Shut up. I threatened him.)

Jaydev frowned, " where?"

He smirked and took out two keys from his pocket, " remember the promise?"

A mischievous smirk plastered on Jaydev's lips as well and he stood up. He grabbed one key from him.

" Are bikes here already?"

" Ahn, my men brought them."

Aryan replied as they both headed out of the spark. Two bikes, which were not there when they came to the park, were parked in front. They grabbed helmets from the handle and put it on their heads.

They sat on their respective bikes and turned the engine on by twisting the key. They looked at each other and smiled widely. Butterflies erupted in their stomachs as they got ready to experience their past once again.

They shut the glass of their helmet. Bike made a roaring sound as they began their ride at not so normal speed. The road probably belonged to their father. Both knew the law very well but tonight they wanted to keep the law away and renew their friendship.

They waited 5 years for this.
