Chapter 15: Very much alive !

Tormenting Mr.GangsterWords: 20759

Recap : Sanyu comes back from the conference. She digs for information, and get pass for a party organized by Raghav. On the other hand Parth informs Randhir of the party, Randhir decides to go there. They spot each other at the party and have a talk. They part way and look for clues in restricted areas, they were about to get caught when Sanyu saves them both by kissing Randhir and pretending they just needed privacy. Randhir insult her and go away.

Sanyukta reached her home, closed the door and rushed to her room. Her kohl spread over, she was cursing herself for saving his life. His words a mere dagger to her soul. No girl probably got this bad of compliments for her first kiss... the way he insulted her in those words.

"I was so wrong in wasting my first kiss for saving your life. To you it must have been a number in a long list but to me... it was the first... the one destined for someone special..."

"But I wasted it on you, and what did I get in return... insult...!" she poured out her hurt.

"...Actually you know what...It shouldn't be you but me who should be disgusted." Sanyukta wiped her tears away, talking to herself, taking out her frustration.

Why was she getting so affected by his words... she knew who he was, his reaction was expected. But still his words hurt... besides... she could deny all she wanted but deep down she knew she had liked the kiss, actually like was an understatement... it was amazing ! ...May be this was the reason she was angry... his words suggested that he did not like it as much as she did... and that was what irked her deep down !

"Bloody heartless killer... insensitive jerk... callous fool... stupid... idiot..." she muttered.

But a thought came to her mind. He had saved her life the other day... putting his own in danger... surely he didn't deserve all these insults... then she remembered how good she had felt in his arms. How his strong arms had secured her against his chest, how good she felt... "...wow wow wow stop right there sanyukta !" She scolded herself. Great now she was behaving like a hormonal teenager ! The hug, if you can call it one and now the kiss... the guy had managed to get her sexually frustrated... ok may be not to this extent but still she relished those moments, she wanted it again, she desired more...okeyyy okeyy may be she was indeed sexually frustrated, she huffed... Never in her life had she felt this way... she rubbed her temples... "this guy always messed up my tranquility"... she sighed...

"ok time to sleep... I will deal with these problems tomorrow, there has been enough drama for today". she halted all her thought, deciding that she needed rest.

***

Randhir went back to the den, he was in a daze. "Every damn thing went wrong today" he muttered and headed to his training room. He would have never ever expected Sanyukta to kiss him... she always seemed so disgusted by him... he thought, the way she always treated him poorly, reminding him of the lack of humanity in him... but she did, she did kiss him despite all that.

And what's worse, he would have never ever expected to actually like the kiss, he thought he would be disgusted by her but... but he had liked the kiss... she felt so perfect against him, her lips so soft... and how damn hot it was the way she pushed him against the wall... taking the lead. He had always been the dominating kind but to his surprise, he actually liked the way Sanyukta took control, ...something he had never let anyone do before.

He suddenly got aware of his thoughts and got angry. "Your are again messing up with my mind... damn you Sanyukta !!!" he yelled punching the bag in front of him. He could not let someone got to him this way... ...And that was exactly the reason why he had insulted her at the end, he was angry at his own reaction to the kiss...

But wait a second, in all this mess he had not thought about the real disturbing fact... what the hell was she doing there ?... first at a conference and now at the party, surely it was no coincidence. She was up to something... something that included Raghav gosh... or himself, for all he knew she might be investigating on him... or may be she found out about the children traffic... he sighed whatever it was... it seems like he was going to see more and more of her if Raghav gosh, or himself, was indeed her target. He sighed again. Trouble was just beginning...

He sighed and retrieved some papers from his pockets. He took a look at them and said "...hmm I was right" he smirked. At least today he did not came back empty hands !

***

Sun rose above the horizon, shining brightly upon the city which was washed up last night in rain. Sanyukta woke up and made a quick coffee brushing away all her thoughts from past encounters. She kept her mug and quickly wore her glasses. She had a case to solve !

In the drawers, over the table, down the duvet... She looked up everywhere but was unable to find the documents she had retrieved yesterday before going to the party. She tried and checked every niche but they were nowhere to be found. She tried recalling where she had left them, she had them with her when she went to the party...may be she lost them there, she panicked. Fallen on wrong hands these documents could be dangerous !

Suddenly her thoughts went back to the moment Randhir and her kissed. "No... oh no he didn't ... ??!!" she was sure his hands didn't smooth over her waist without a reason.

"That b***ard Randhir!" She muttered under her breath as she remembered his roaming hands. He must have fetched them while his hands were travelling on her body. Her anger rose as she felt like smashing Randhir right there if he would have been in vicinity.

...He messed with the wrong person !

***

Sanyukta was extremely angry because Randhir was the one who crossed the line that they won't interfere in each other's lives. She decided to track him down and get her papers back. Luckily her key ring was still responding, in his anger he had not got rid of it...the fool !...and he is supposed to a "reputed" gangster...yeah.

Sanyukta quickly checked the location then synchronized it with her phone's GPS.

"Tara baby" She called out to her daughter while getting downstairs, "Baby are you done?" she inquired.

"Yes mumma" Tara shows her the small pink bag she collected her items into.

"Chalo darling hum papa ke paas ja rahe han" She picked up Tara and car keys from the rack and locked the door on exit.

"I am not sure if this is good. Am I right?" Sanyukta muttered as she leaned on Tara's seat to tie her seat belt.

"Mumma you're always right" Tara spoke softly not even knowing what her mum was referring to.

"Aww" Sanyukta finally felt contented with her baby's ignorant but still reassuring words, she placed a kiss upon Tara's forehead, driving off on the road.

***

"We're here" Tara chipped.

Sanyukta took Tara's bag from back seat while Tara jumped out of the car on the path towards a house.

"Sanyukta" Someone called out to her when he pulled Tara into a bear hug

"Karan, Hi!" she hugged him.

"All okay? all of a sudden you called me" the guy inquired.

"Everything is fine I just thought it would be wise if she stays here. Plus it's her vacation" she smiled at him. He was tall and well built, dark hair, light brown eyes, and a smile that could kill a person, no wonder her best friend had fallen for this guy, she smiled remembering Naina.

"Yes! Baby and papa will have fun, Right Tara ?!" Karan chipped merrily.

"I should get going, I have things to do" she winked at him. Karan who was well aware of her non so legal activities just rolled his eyes. He was used to it by now.

Sanyukta turned to leave when Karan called her and pulled her into a hug, "Thank you Sanyukta, please be careful"

Sanyukta smiled, "Don't worry, you know I can handle myself" she winked at him

"Yeah, right I pity those who cross your path" he playfully retorted. Even though his tone was playfull, he actually meant what he said, you didn't want to mess with this girl, under her innocent look was hiding a very scary personality !

Sanyukta took a final leave and walked back to her car. She fed the location of the den into the navigator and guided her way through it. She came out of the city on the highway. She halted her car and opened her laptop. She looked for any information available on them. This time she will go prepared. And the first thing she had to do was know them better.

Let's start by Sahil she told herself. Well well well... she discovered that him and Parth owned a garage together, they were engineers, weird... Why would engineers become gangsters ? she wondered. Sahil lived with his parents nothing more nothing less, if his Facebook account was something to rely on. Then there was Parth this guy had not much information about him...and he was all alone, no parents no siblings nothing... no wonder he was always this angry...a normal human being needed social interaction otherwise he became grumpy.

Then came Vidhushi, the girl lived alone, her parents moved to the UK a few years ago, she also used to have a sister but she died...aww poor girl she thought.

Next Randhir. She proceeded with her investigation.

Randhir, Randhir, Randhir... there is nothing on this guy, not one information. Weird. It's like he does not exist. Had the bas***d lied to her about his name ? ...her eyes caught something. Her eyes grew wider as she read an old article...what the hell ! The guy was supposed to have died twenty years ago along with his parents. The causes of their deaths were unknown till date... Sanyukta's state went from shock to happiness. She had the info she needed. "A puppet in my hands, han ?" She recalled his words. Ab dekho me tume kaise nachati hun... those words reminded her of the oh so famous scene "nach basanti nach !" she giggled at her thought... but then a more modern version of this famous scene popped up in her mind... She imagined Randhir in a baby pink ballet attire, gracefully performing a solo upon her instructions... oh revenge was so sweet ! She smirked.

She was relieved. Not only her daughter was safe with her father but she also had one crucial information on Randhir. If disclosed, it could get him in big trouble. No dead body should be allowed out of the graveyard, roaming around freely AND sending others to the graveyard ! Now she could go there, she had something she could bargain... she had her life insurance !

***

Tracing down her path she approached the familiar site at last.

Den, 7 pm

"You can do this, Sanyukta" she said to herself, She was nervous, meeting the guy with whom you had experienced your first kiss was not easy, any girl could testify.

"...ok stay calm" Easier said than done ! Breath in, breath out, don't choke, calm and confident ! she chanted.

She entered the gates and found Sahil near the main door talking over the phone. The moment he cut the call and turned around, he spotted Sanyukta standing there. Sanyukta nervously smiled at him... Breath in, breath out... you are not a thief on his first robbery, stop being so nervous ! she scolded herself.

He was shocked to see her here, "Sanyukta you here?"

"Yeah hi" she tried smiling at him, which came out as a creepy grimace more than a smile. " I wanted to see Randhir" she told him. The joke !...anyone who knew randhir's and her history, knew how wrong this sentence sounded. ...The more logical scenarios were those where the verb "see" was replaced by the verb "kill" or "murder", ...and if one wanted to specify the method used for the crime, "strangle" and "stab" would be more suitable...

Sahil gave her a scanning look and said "You want to see randhir ?" he was absolutely positive both hated each other, and the last time she came here, it didn't end well... so why did she want to see him now ?

"Humm, I have something to discuss with him" she only said. "discuss"... once again...what a joke, obviously using common verbs to describe any of their interaction was ridiculous, they could never "discuss"... they could "argue", "scream", "yell" but never discuss ! But now was not the time to fuss upon words... she was on mission, she needed to get her papers back !

Sahil once again looked at her but He let her in nonethless, "He's in his room". he indicated.

Thanking him, she scooted her way upstairs approaching Randhir's room.

***

Sanyukta approached his door in the corridor. The flashes of her time here came back, memory of their kiss rushed to her mind, "Stop being so nervous !" She scolded herself but then her mind went back to the way he insulted her after their first kiss and all nervousness vanished in one instant. Anger rose in her eyes and without further ado, she dashed inside his room without bothering to knock.

Her feet froze in the door frame as her eyes focused on a girl who dawned the shortest possible clothes. Even shorter than Vidushi's...she wondered if that was even possible ! But the proof was in front of her eyes. She was sitting right on his table in front of him, while his chair laid right in front of her with her leg placed on the armrest of the chair. Randhir was standing next to the girl.

The sudden noise from door made the occupants move their head towards her. Randhir was shocked to see Sanyukta standing in the doorframe. One look at her burning hazel orbs and he knew she was not here for chit-chat. He smirked at her bravery. Somewhere deep down he expected it, he expected her to come. Right on time ! he told himself.

Randhir rose himself above his chair and walked up to Sanyukta, "Shaina, meet my girlfriend Sanyukta". Sanyukta looked at him with blank face while Randhir introduced Sanyukta as his girlfriend. What the hell ?! thought Sanyukta

"Darling what took you so long ?, I missed you so much" Randhir possessively grabbed sanyukta's waist and placed a deep passionate kiss on her lips all of a sudden. Sanyukta was shocked but his lips kept working upon hers softly chilling her spine down. Surely this was not what she expected when she came here... she had thought about the screams, the insults, the usual arguments that would be awaiting her, she even thought about ways to murder him for god sake... but never had she thought he will kiss her. But she was no one to complain now, was she ?...she had dreamed about it the entire night...

The hard slamming of door told them that Shaina had walked out, leaving the two behind. Sanyukta pushed him away with all her might, "What the hell was that ?!!" she yelled regaining her senses, she was not going to get played by him like that, no matter how much she enjoyed it, she had her pride !

"Oh darling, that was a kiss... you know when two people put..." Randhir mocked her, recalling the words she said to him at the party.

Sanyukta threw a deadly glare at him while he chipped, "Don't pressurize your pea size brain, I just did it to get rid of her"

"you kissed me, now I kissed you... we are even" he smirked at her.

"You... !!!" she pointed a finger at him. She was very tempted to strangle him at this moment.

"Yes darling, am listening" Randhir smiled at her. He had forgot how good he felt teasing her, riling her up.

Sanyukta tried to calm down and remember why she came here. Oh yeah she was here for the papers Randhir had stolen ! The argument, the fight...and the kisses could wait.

...Great she just said it like she was somewhat planning to kiss (...or to be kissed, depending on the circomstances...) in the near future. STOP ! She composed herself and concentrated on the task ahead.

"Give it back to me !" she ordered extending her hand, looking straight in his eyes.

"What ? give what back to you" he faked surprise.

"Give it to me NOW" she roared marching up to him.

"The kiss ? oh darling I didn't know you wanted it so badly" in a swift movement he had her in his arms, his lips inches away from hers.

Time stopped both were anticipated what was coming next. Who was going to close the distance they both so much desired to be reduced. Seconds passed as no one closed the distance. Sanyukta came back to reality. She was not here to play, or at least not now... here she goes again she sighed.

"Ok let's put cards on the table, Mr.Gangster, give me back the papers concerning Raghav Gosh you stole from me yesterday when you were so freely touching me" she said looking intently in his eyes.

"Ah that...Smart woman" was all Randhir said placing a soft kiss on her cheek and parting from her. He could not resist the urge to do it.

"So you didn't like me touching you ?...I didn't find you complaining at that moment..." he said, once again taking the conversion in another direction.

"What ?!!! Am not talking about the touching part you moron." she tried to keep her temper in check.

"Does it mean you liked it ?" he teased her.

"Urrrgh shut up ! am not talking about that !" she yelled.

"Then what ?" he asked, leaning cross legged against his desk, intently looking at her.

"Stop playing games with me !!!" she screamed. "For the last time, give me the papers you stole !" she ordered.

"Oooh thaaat...hmm what about...NO" he said pretending to think.

"What no ? give it back to me this instant !!!" she demanded like a queen ordering her subject.

"Baby, not only you can play dirty, I can too" he said referring to the tracking key fiasco.

"Oh... so that is how it is..." she said crossing her arms on her chest. The gesture made her chest look more prominent, Randhir gazed at Sanyu chest, which only added fuel on Sanyu's anger.

"Eyes up here !" she yelled.

He only smirked at her and shamelessly roamed his eye on her body. Sanyukta could not take it. This was the kind of disrespect she hated the most. She angrily marched towards and pushed him, he landed on the chair behind him. Sanyukta put her hand on each side of the chair. Time to remind who she was and she was capable of !

"I never really expected respect from a lowlife like you, so am not really surprised by your shameless act, but get one thing straight, am not going to tolerate this attitude of yours any longer." she paused.

"If I hold the power to dig information and bypass any security system, believe me I also hold the power to mix up everything and destroy it all" she warned him, words coming out like baldes.

"I can make your life a living hell, I can ruin you, just remember who I am...I AM FALCON !" she said in a determined voice.

Randhir looked at her for a second before saying "...HOT" and smirking.

Sanyukta anger rose once again, the jerk did not listen to one word she said...as if she was speaking to the walls. She kept her anger in check, ...never act out of impulse, deciding of her next step, she smirked, it was time to get the upper hand !

"You look like in pretty good health... for someone who's supposed to be dead..." it was now her turn to smirk.

Randhir froze, his eyes went from playful to deadly serious. He pushed her and got up. He grabbed her wrist and slammed her against him. "What did you say ?" he whispered in a cold voice.

"I said, you seem to be in good health... for someone who's supposed to be dead ! ", she repeated, saying each word clearly, keeping eye contact and showing him she didn't fear him.

Randhir was shocked to know that she knew about this fact... no body was supposed to know about that, only Parth knew about it. It has been easy for him to hide his identity and work under different name knowing that the real him was dead... This information on him was dangerous...

But as she had reminded him just minutes ago, she was no mere girl, she was FALCON. Randhir mood took a U turn and went all business like. All playfulness gone.

"What do you want with Raghav Gosh, why did you retrieve information on him ?" he interrogated her getting straight to the point.

"None of your business" was all Sanyukta said. "I just want my papers and I am outta here". she jerked her hand out of his hold.

"He is my target !" he simply informed her.

Sanyukta scoffed at that, " Are you what ? five ?... mene pele dekha hai, mera hai !" she imitated a five years old. "He is not your property mister"

"Am warning you, do not get on my way" randhir threatened her.

"Oh please..." she voiced her irritation at his stubbornness. "You are not the center of the universe you know, mere or b kam hain." she mocked him. "But we are getting off track here, let's get back to the main topic...give me the papers and I leave." she declared once again extending her hand.

Randhir looked at her for a second and turned around laughing.

"Why the hell are you laughing ? Seriously you should consult a psychiatrist... I swear you have more moods swing than pregnant ladies!" she muttered.

He turned back toward her and a said "Do you really think you can return back home now ?" an evil smile playing on her face.
