Am I betraying him

Rashmi always enjoyed her trips to Lalwani family. Deepak and Vanita were a fabulous couple. She could talk about anything and everything to her. And he would only talk to a few people one of them was her. He disliked a lot of things about Jeet .

" I wish I could strangle you", he hissed as he was alone with him. " And don't give me shit that you don't know anything".

One of few people Jeet respects

" A hit is ordered on you sir", said Jeet unfazed. " As a soldier my duty is to protect you".

" Raghuvanshi didn't ordered a hit on me", said Deepak.

" He was involved in sharing your location. I had to make a tough decision. I shall resign if you want", said Jeet.

" No. I want western border secure before I kill you", said Deepak. " Whiskey".

" Sure", said Jeet.

" Gandhi tells me you found something", he said.

" Its not good", said Jeet.

" How bad", he asked.

" Army and administration and we have no idea", said Jeet with a straight face.

" Then we need to double our efforts. Take what you need from me. Was Raghuvanshi involved"?

" A minor extra", said Jeet.

" And doesn't you eliminating him gives a message to them", asked Deepak.

" I used underworld. He was involved in trying to eliminate Dragon. He was happy to pay him back", shrugged Jeet.

" You and your means", sighed Deepak.

" I want to spy ministers and otther law making people both in state and centre", said Jeet.

" You need a big team", said Deepak.

" Eagle agrees to lead", said Jeet.

Go ahead. Signal green", said Deepak.

Jeet nodded.

Meanwhile

" He is married to Chi Chi and is an underworld don", whispered Rash to Vanita.

" You slept with him", she smirked.

" Duh uh", said Rash.

" So you and him know this. Its not like you guys are exclusive. "

" Yeah but I don't carry flame for my bed partners", said Rash.

" And he is different", ask Vanita.

" Yeah plus Chi Chi loves him", she shrugged.

" How is she", asked Vanita.

" Not good", said Rash.

Then she told him everything that happened with Chanchal.

Vanita gasped.

" That poor child! May Kanhaji give her strength ", she said.

" Exactly and then there is Jeet who stood by me in all that I suffered", said Rash. AM I betraying him Vinnie"?

" Considering your level of loyality who even thinking of other man as betrayal that fool should thank his lucky stars he got you", said Vanita.

" I do that every single day", a deep voice came.

Both the women turned to find men walking towards them.

" Deepak", Rash stood and hugged him.

" You look gorgeous as ever", he praised.

" I know that", she said haughtily.

" Vinnie is glowing", winked Jeet.

" The pregnancy glow", she said.

Rash's face fell. Jeet immediately noticed. He hugged her.

" Whenever you are ready", he whispered.

She nodded.

" So tell me about policies", she said to Deepak.

And the discussion continued..

Mumbai

Shaun and Chanchal were sitting in their favourite seafood restaurant.

" Crab cakes", asked Shaun.

" Y. Yes t. thank you", she smiled.

These days she smiled around him. Shaun blushed like a teenager.

" I saw the collection of your paintings. I am sure you will win the award", he said.

" Really", she asked.

" Hmm. The resort. Was it good", he asked.

She squirmed. Shaun noticed immediately but asked nothing.

" I want you to try some wine", he said. " Are you driving "?

She shook her head.

" U. Usman", she said.

" His most trusted bodyguard ", smiled Shaun.

" S. Sir can I t.tell you s.something. P.please don't jj.jjudge me", she said.

" I am in no position to do so", he said.

" I. I. Mr. ObOberoi h.he k.kissed me", she couldn't meet his eye.

" He forced himself on you", said Shaun angrily.

" N.no not like t.that", she said.

" Explain then", he said.

" I am s.so st.stupid", she said. " I. I l.liked it".

" He is a s*xual predator. Don't blame yourself ", shrugged Shaun. " Did he force it"?

" I. d. don't kn.know sir. I have l.limited e.ex.experience", she said looking down. " I c. couldn't ex.express even i.if I love s.someone".

" You do love someone though. You drew that painting ", he raised a brow.

" I. I", she stammered.

" I guess the dragon knows", he said.

She took deep breath for sometimes.

" I. I. n.never. s.sh.she l.loves him", Chanchal cried. " N. Not her fault. I. I n.never told her. Tthey w.were en.engaged. I left", she suddenly froze.

" Chanchal", Shaun engulfed her in his arms.

" It's okay baby. Dragon loves you. He is not angry.".

" Rash. Save her", she said incoherently.

" Rash's fine. Breath", he said.

" I want to.. I ccould have. I am an idiot", she said.

" Take deep breaths", said Shaun as he guided her to an open space. She started breathing again.

" Am I betraying him", she asked frantically as if in pain.

" Dragon is fine with you loving her. He just wants you happy", said Shaun.

" R.really", she was confused.

" He is working with your friend to locate the assasin that killed your daughter", said Shaun.

Chanchal was quiet for sometime.

Then her eyes turned stormy.

DID THEY FIND ANYTHING ", she asked in anger as her stammer disappeared.

As a medical professional Shaun's eyes twinkled on seeing this transformation in her.

" I don't know ", was his honest answer.

She calmed down.

The food arrived then.

" Let's eat", said Shaun.

Chanchal nodded and they started eating.

Meanwhile

Viru was now becoming very friendly with Kash. He got painting exhibition ready for the new artists. He enthusiastically met them all. Monty was their art guide. He himself created a few good paintings.

" Most of these are modern Renaissance like art", said Viru.

" A rebellion against oppression ", agreed Kash.

Later he and Guru will keenly observe the pieces.

" There is a subtle undertone to remove by force certain norms of our society. But it's too subtle", said Guru.

" Hmm I can clear Kash now", said Viru.

" How", asked Guru.

" He is very keen on his earned money. Like I work hard. I pay taxes. So it's mine. A sharp contrast from left mindset. Plus he defends Mrs. Singhania remaining with dragon for love. No pseudo feminism stunt", said Viru.

" So everything points to this part time artist ", said Guru.

" I need Kitty on this. Is she enrolled in that college", he asked.

" She is. All the best Eagle".

" Guru. Kash. I like him very much. Am I betraing him"?

" I guess not. If the leech is near him you are actually saving him.", said Guru.

" Then the hunt is on", smirked Eagle.

" Hell yeah", said Guru.
