Abheer and Reyan were sitting in the home office discussing something, that's when Rathore men entered the office. They both immediately stood up from their places, seeing Adhiraj, Vikram and Vikrant entering. Hukum sa or what, Abheer has immense respect for these 3 in his life, same goes for Reyan and younger clan. Those 3 sat on the couch. Ayaan arranged 3 chairs for Abheer, Reyan and Abhiraj, but he himself stood beside them.
"Any lead Abheer?" Adhiraj asked.
"Yes, dada hukum. Reyan managed to send some spies in Italian Mafia. They are really helping Sushant. But, since they were entered as new trainies, they were unable to get his location. They just saw his glimpse while entering when he was leaving the mansion with some Italian guards. Hope so, they were be able to get their posting as mansion guards. Then, we will be able to at least get any idea, when will be their next move, if not what move." Abheer said.
"Yes hukum. Luckily those people are originally Italian. They would not be that suspicious of them. But, I still have a doubt that why would be they suddenly start recruiting new members in their mafia. Becoz, as we have the idea of them helping Sushant, they must know that we are already suspecting them. Luckily, our guards are so honest, their loyalty won't be doubted and we definitely don't recruit anyone so easily as they did. I highly doubt they have any idea of our any plan." Reyan said.
"So, we are at advantage here." Vikrant said to which others nodded.
"But don't you think, they must have idea about the spies? That's why they are letting them in to mislead us." Ayaan pointed out.
"I don't think so. They did not just let them in, but they are recruiting too many people, as if they are preparing for war. Yes, they might have idea that there may be spies in some of them, but definitely won't be able to figure out who." Abhiraj said. But, others became tensed with the war statement.
"Do you have any idea, how many men have newly entered?" Vikram asked.
"Till now, nearly 100-150 men. But, still more are coming. But, I don't think, there could be any problem." Abhiraj said.
"And why so?" Adhiraj asked.
"I will tell you that, baba hukum." Niharika entered with her tab. She came in and sat on Abhiraj's sit when he got up to let her sit.
"We have nearly about 5,000 members in our mafia, which was taken over by Vikram bhaisa after you. Since, then this number is unharmed. No mention to the thing that all are trained equal to any Indian Army Soldiers. Italian mafia originally have 2,000 or something people. Sushant currently is having nearly 800-900 people, since most of them were caught up during our last attack and could not make it. They will definitely need to increase their manforce to even make any first move. Not to mention that, they are unaware of Abheer's secret force, even that Bastard Sushant." Niharika explained gritting the last part.
Others hummed.
"So do we have any plan?" Vikram asked.
"Not yet, baba hukum. Currently, Abhiraj bhaisa, Kaki hukum and I trying to hack into their home security system. But it is some what difficult do to so considering so much distance. But, once we got into their system, distance won't be any matter. We could be able to track their plan. We have told those spies, to install the hacking device hearby their mansion. Hope so, they will be able to install it without getting caught and device should be properly hidden." Ayaan said.
"But, I don't think, they will be planning any open war. No such war happens nowadays. And knowing the population density in Rajasthan or better say India, any foreigner would back off instead of any attack, knowing that would harm national relations too." Abheer said after thinking sometime.
"What are you suggesting then?" Vikrant asked voicing everyone's confusion.
"That, maybe he is doing this for increasing security when he is not in Italy for his family. He will definitely target our weakness. But he will not take any risk of any open war or rather attacking us in our own country. He too knows the consequences." Reyan said and Abheer nodded at him.
"Okay, so for now, we should keep close eyes on them, to know if they are moving in here or not. And also, increase the security of namakaran. Don't let media take any photos of Ruhanika and baby. Our mistake can cost us in future." Adhiraj said.
"Rather, I would suggest baba hukum, we will not even let anyone know, this is done for the addition to the family. And, knowing that Sushant was already reached till Ruhanika, I don't think, he should know she is still with us and now baby too. I hope Abheer you didn't let anyone know about her yet." Vikrant said.
But that's when Ayaan showed something shocking them,
"I don't think so, kaka hukum. Look at this." He said showing the pictures that went viral on his phone. All were shocked reading that.
"Hukum Sa spotted with a lady in Rathore Hospital. Hukum Sa smiling at a lady." Reyan read the headline of the article. Yes, it was the same photo of Abheer in his suit and Ruhanika in her saree that was taken at hospital when they went for her check up in the same morning.
"Abhiraj Ayaan, dekh kya rahe ho. Kaam pe lago aur saare yeh photos internet se delete chahiye muze adhe ghante mein." Niharika said in a loud voice. They both nodded and went outside to complete the task.
(What are you looking at. Go and I want these picture clear from internet in half an hour.)
"Abheer, was there any media in the hospital?" Niharika asked.
"No, kaki hukum. There was none. And we directly entered into the private wing to avoid any people. Even there were only 6-7 people on our way which also looking busy to notice us. I never noticed when these pictures were taken." Abheer said recalling the incident.
"Yes, it seems the person is one of them, look you both are entering the private wing in the picture. Hopefully Ruhi's face is unseen." Reyan said.
"This shouldn't have happened. At least not in the current situation with Italians. They must have seen the article by now. We must be alert about Ruhanika's safety from now on." Abheer said rubbing his face in frustration.
"Don't worry, we will not let anyone harm Ruhanika again. But, seriously look at this, you both are looking so beautiful in this photo, even when Ruhi's face is not looking. Anyone will think it's your lover or something, coz the Hukum Sa who never smiles in public even with his family, is smiling openly to a woman keeping hand on her shoulder. Definitely, it's looking like there is a mysterious woman in Hukum Sa's life." Niharika said teasing Abheer.
Elder Rathores smiled at her comment, when they saw Abheer looking at the photo with gentle soft eyes. They have definitely seen a change in him from sometime. And they believe that it all started since Ruhanika coming in his only.
With Ruhanika and Sakshi
They were in her room talking,
"How are you here? Are they treating you nice? It looks like they are, since you are addressing them like a family, but still are they all nice?" Sakshi asked.
She was sitting beside Ruhanika in Indian style, since baby was in her lap sleeping. She refused to let her go, since she first held her.
"They are more than nice, Sakshi. I was so worried when I thought where would I go now. It was the first thought that came into my mind, when she first came in my arms. You know, I was not even able to hold her. When I first saw her, I hastily lifted my hands fogetting about my injured shoulder, that made so unbearable pain shot in my whole body. But, Abheer ji was the one who made it possible for me to hold her. He became my left hand to support her body. He was with me since the day, I was unconscious. He looked after me even in the night, himself sleeping on that uncomfortable couch. His family open handedly accepted me and my baby in this home. Meera maasa even did our Arati in the entrance, saying that Lakshmis are entering the home. They made me feel like I was one of their family member, even being stranger to all except Abheer ji and Reyan bhaisa. You know, the cradle used by baby now, was of Abheer ji's cradle when he was baby. Look how beautiful it is! I got to know later, they specially themselves made this room ready for me and baby. They made me feel like, I was in my maternal home after my delivery." She said the last part slowly whispering, her eyes filling with tears remembering her family. She still misses them so much. She thought of going to Jaisalmer once, and at least see them from afar, but never gathered enough courage to do so.
Sakshi squeezed her hand, comforting her, Ruhanika immediately wiped her tears no wanting to cry in front of her,
"Main bhi na, kabhi bhi rona shuru kar deti hoon. Muze chhod, tu bata kakasa kaise hai. Unki tabiyat thik hogayi na? Phir hi tu yaha ayi na?" Ruhanika asked changing the topic.
(Look at me, any time start with my water works. Leave me, tell me how's uncle? He health is fine na now?)
"Nanna is fine now. You know, my bhaisa was there too even before me." Sakshi said to which Ruhanika rolled her eyes.
"Obviously he will be there, his father was hospitalised." Ruhanika said sassily to which Sakshi hit her arm making her hiss.
"Listen to me first, then comment. He was there even before Nanna got hospitalised. He came there to live with them. He thought of finding job in Jodhpur, so nanna and maasa would not be alone anymore. He was coming to tell this good news to them, but the same day, nanna got sick. But, now everthing is fine. Nanna is healthy too." She said grinning.
You all must be confused as to why she is calling her father nanna and her mother maasa. So the thing is, her father is Telugu while her mother is Rajasthani. They both had love marriage. That's why she called her father nanna in Telugu and her mother maasa in Marwari.
"That's very nice of him." Ruhanika said, but this made her remember of her bhaisa, Karan Rajput. She never knew why he never called her in last 8 months, what made him stop calling her. Her thoughts got disturbed when Abheer, Reyan, Abhiraj and Ayaan entered her room after knocking. Come on, our boys are no doubt gentlemen!
When Ayaan saw a new face with Ruhanika, his flirty mode came back.
"Are wahh! Kab yeh swarg ki apsara swarg se utar ke humaare ghar agayi. Sevak apke seva mein hazir hai, priye." Ayaan said dramatically bowing and kissing her hand.
(Of wow, when did a girl from heaven come to our house? Man is in your service, dear.)
"Apka naam jaan sakta hai yeh nacheez?" Ayaan asked still on his knees. Sakshi was baffled for sometime with his comments. Her face became flushed and started turning red coz Ayaan was still holding her hand. Ruhanika started laughing at Sakshi's face which made Sakshi glared at her. But, her glare suddenly looked too cute to someone's eyes which became unknowingly furious seeing Ayaan holding her hand.
(Can this poor man know your name?)
"Nice try, bhaisa. But she is elder than you." Ruhanika said controlling her laugh.
Ayaan's face fell at that, but still said looking at Sakshi,
"Ohh, I thought you were sweet 16." Which again made Ruhanika laugh so hard, even Ayaan started laughing at Sakshi's flushed face with his comments. The Rathore men were getting embarrassed due to their younger brother.
Ayaan's laugh suddenly turned into scream when Reyan tighly twisted his ear and pulled him up with his ear only. He made him stand beside them by pulling his ear,
"Ahhhhhhh, bhaisa. Leave my ear. It's hurting." He yelled in pain.
"Serves you right. Who told you to flirt with her?" Abhiraj whispered in his ear making him whine.
"Say sorry to her, Ayaan." Abheer said.
"Sorry, miss......" Ayaan said.
"Oh Sakshi, Sakshi Nair. And it's okay. It's just it was um....unexpected!?" She said more like a question than a statement.
"Ignore him, he is just flirty sometimes with beautiful strangers." Abhiraj said politely which made Sakshi blush again as he was calling her beautiful.
While Reyan was fuming with anger seeing her blushing with someone else's comments.
"As if she is beautiful!" He muttered looking at other side, but was loud enough to let everyone hear. This made Sakshi to anger to no end.
"What did you say, you sadu!?" She asked with full raging voice. But, the name with which she called Reyan made him angry.
