Ep9 : Counterplay

Three months later.

The lockdown was a bit lifted. Since these months, there was no news about Chaitanya's working.

Now, everyone was at ease.

July, 2020. Chandigarh, At Kamaal's house.

Sameer- "What's about Chait? Is he alright?"

Kamaal- "He's well. But, our plan is getting delayed now."

Rohan- "So, what's next? Mission suspended?"

Kamaal- "No way! We can't stop what has started. Let the situation get better."

Sameer- "When will it get better?"

Kamaal- "God knows. Chaitanya is unable to contact us."

6th August, 2020, 9am, Agartala Railway Station.

Chait and his friends were cornered in a room in the station. They had almost nothing to eat. They knew that, if they came out, they would shot at any moment. An anxiety of fear of death had crept in their hearts. Chaitanya ultimately decided to complete his work all by himself. He told his friends,"I don't need anyone's help. I have survived here by my own efforts and will survive from here on also by my own efforts and decisions."

His friends wanted to stop but couldn't. They knew that if Chait had taken the decision, they shouldn't interfere in altering it.

Chait contacted Saha's elder brother and somehow let his friends escape from there.

Soon, he got the news that all those friends were shot dead when they were boarding a car to run away to Silchar.

This was a blow to him. The fire for revenge had increased too much in his soul and now this fire had to cause destruction.

More stores had been opened. The crowd had again started forming.

Through the thickness of the crowd, he successfully reached the house of the taxi driver, who had brought him Agartala. Chait pleaded, "If I can't do it this time, I can't do it again. Please uncle, help me." He was crying.

The taxi driver couldn't control his tears too. Actually, due to lockdown, it became impossible for him to have proper meals at least twice a day. Now, Chait's tears could let me cry out his pains at least.

He said, "I will help you. I will surely help you, Chaitanya."

The driver went out to get to know the latest information about Gautam Dhar. He got to know that, with full security, Gautam wanted to go out of the city as soon as possible. But, his personal car was put on fire by the outrageous public last time and now no one wants to give him a car to move.

He gave the proposal of having his taxi. Gautam, hearing about this, immediately said Yes.

Gautam Dhar and the team had decided the date to be the Independence Day midnight. Everyone would busy in their houses in sending wishes for the day and will not come out due to social-distancing rules. No one will get to know about Dhar's escape.
