NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE (Completed)
45 Attack
Part 45 Attack
Arnav ran towards the man who had given Khushi the spiked drink. While running, he called Aman and conveyed the matter to him.
"Aman, the man in before me. Call the police and come to the spot."
"Ok, share your live location..."
"Yup"
Arnav shared his live location and disconnected the call. He made sure the man didn't see him. If he saw him, the man would flee for sure. Before he saw Arnav, Arnav attacked his neck with a strong hit from behind. The man sat on the floor, holding his head as he didn't know what happened to him. Arnav kicked him and made him fall to the ground on his stomach. Arnav stepped on him wrathfully.
Arnav pulled the man's shirt and tied his hands behind him. People surrounded them.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you tying me up?" The man shouted.
"To take you to your in-laws..." Arnav said, tightening the knot.
"Leave me... or else..."
"Or else, what?"
"You don't know who I'm..."
"I know very well who you are..."
The man looked at people and said,
"Hey, he is hitting me without reason. Won't you question him? Would you be like dumb?"
One of them asked,
"Why are you hitting him?"
"Wait for a while; the police will answer you," Arnav said, making the man step back. The Spiker became horrified. Police? Who was he? Why was he tying him? Before his doubt cleared, Aman brought the police to the spot.
The police lifted him and asked Arnav,
"Are you sure he is the one?"
"Yes, inspector, he was the one who gave the spiked drink to Khushi."
That was when the man understood who he was and why he hit him. He looked at Arnav, horrified.
"Sir, ask him who asked him to give it to Khushi," Aman said.
"Sir, ask him if he has any other plan," Arnav said thoughtfully.
"No, sir... we have no plan," the man said.
Arnav checked his pocket and found his driving license. He looked at it.
"His name is Kaluram" Arnav said.
"Kaluram? Sir, he is on our accused list," The Inspector said.
"That's good. Find out what he is here for", Arnav said.
"Get him in the jeep," The Inspector said.
"Before anyone brings a bail order, try to get the truth from him", Arnav said.
The inspector nodded and took him to the police station.
"I don't think the person who brought him here will get him on bail because it's Lalith. He will not do it. If he does, we will learn about his involvement in doping."
"Of course, he will not be involved in this matter openly. At the same time, he will not let Kaluram to be in the police custody. He will definitely bring bail through someone."
Aman nodded affirmatively.
"Let them inquire. I hope we will get something from him,"
"Hopefully..."
Aman took his leave. Arnav came home. After taking a bath, he got ready to go to college. That was their last day at the college before the National Meet. They would be in practice all day starting the next day. So, they would only be in college today.
Though they came to the college to attend classes, they stayed in the classroom all day, listening to their PI's instructions.
"This is the Golden opportunity, guys. You both are talented. I do not doubt that. I want both of you to win medals."
"Sure, sir..." Arnav, the aspiring athlete, said it was because he knew the PI was confident about Khushi but not him.
"Our correspondent is eagerly waiting for your victory. You know how interested he is in sports. That's why he is ready to give you a full fee discount."
Khushi looked at Arnav, her eyes filled with admiration. He smiled, his confidence shining through.
"When are you starting to go to Kolkata?"
"A day before the Meet", Arnav said.
"But why? You will feel tired. Start two days before."
"No sir, we won't feel tired because we will fly."
Khushi looked at him stunningly. FLY? Were they going to Kolkata on Plane?
"Oh, are you going by Plane?"
"Yes, sir"
"That's good. You can practice in the track there..."
"Yes, sir. That's why we are going a day prior."
That was when an attendee came there and said,
"Principal is calling both of you."
"Let's go" The PI joined Arnav and Khushi.
They were allowed to enter the Principal's room without question.
"Good morning, sir."
"Take your seat."
"That's ok, sir."
"Sit down, man; you are going to stand for our college, after all,"
Arnav took a seat, smiling. He looked at Khushi and said,
"You too, sit, Khushi. I don't know if I stand for our college, but you will surely do it. Sit..."
Khushi sat beside Arnav.
"You guys can claim your expenses to the National meet..." the Principal said.
"Only if we win. Am I right, sir?" Arnav asked.
The principal laughed.
"No problem, even if you don't."
"We will definitely win, sir. Khushi is all set to go to Common Wealth Games..." Arnav said, smiling at Khushi.
The Principal and the PI looked at her, wondering.
"Do you think you can?"
"Sir, she is practising not for the National Meet but only for the Common Wealth Games."
"That's appreciable. Good luck," The Principal said excitedly.
"Thank you, sir."
They came out.
"Why did you tell them about the Commonwealth games, Arnavji?"
"Why? Should not I?"
"It will create expectations in them..."
"So, what? However, your performance will be the same. You are going to give your best. Then, what's there to worry?"
"You are increasing my responsibility."
"Relax... we are not participating in sports for others but for us. We will do what we can do. More than that, we can do nothing."
"Mmm... Arnavji, I want to tell you something."
"Tell me,"
"I will not come to the practice this evening."
"Why? Are you going elsewhere?"
"Mmm... to the temple..."
"To pray for your victory. Am I right?"
"Yes... Amma arranged for a Pooja."
"That's nice..." he said disappointedly as Khushi didn't invite him to the temple.
"Will you come?" She asked hesitatingly, which brightened his face.
"Do you want me to come?" he smiled.
"Amma arranged for a Pooja for my victory. Then, you too should take part because you are also participating in the Meet."
"Ok, I will come."
Khushi nodded.
"I will pick you up."
"No... we will go earlier to make arrangements. You can come later."
"Oh, ok"
Evening
Taking a break from their regular practice, Khushi went to the temple with Garima a little earlier. Arnav got ready to join them. He came downstairs, taking his car key; burger rushed to him and hopped on him. Arnav caressed his neck lovingly.
"I will come soon. You should be like a good boy, ok?" Arnav said.
Burger barked as if he understood what he said.
"Hariprakash..."
HP ran to him.
"Did you give him meat?"
"Jee..."
"I will go to meet this weekend. Take care of Burger."
"Jee..."
Arnav headed to the temple. On his way, he received a call. He saw the SI number, and he attended the call.
"Hello, sir..."
"ASR, we inquired Kaluram in our way... and got an information."
"What information, sir?"
"He has been assigned a few men..."
"Men for? What?"
"To break Khushi's leg"
"Whaaaat?" Arnav shouted in shock.
"Yes, ask her to be careful. Ask her not to leave the house until the National Meet."
"But, she went to the Gowri Shankar Mandir in Chandni Chowk..."
"Oh God... we are going."
"Please..."
Disconnecting the call, Arnav headed to the temple. He wanted to alert her, but she didn't have a phone. He geared the car up and drove it, ignoring the traffic rules. When he reached the temple, Khushi bought a garland in the nearby shop. He huffed in relief, but his expression changed when he saw a man running towards Khushi. Arnav got out of the car and rushed to her, shouting,
"Khushiiii..."
Khushi looked at him and was confused, seeing him tensed.
The man who advanced Khushi removed a thick log from his back and rotated it in the air. He aimed it at Khushi's leg. Arnav jumped before Khushi and pulled her behind him. The log hit Arnav's leg brutally.
To be continued...
