UNKNOWN TO HER (Ongoing)

PART 25

Aakash was perusing a list of party planners when a particular photograph caught his eye.

"I recognize her from somewhere," he mused, scratching his head as he studied the picture more closely.

"Sejal! That's the girl I saw at a party," Aakash exclaimed, a memory suddenly clicking into place.

"But how does my sister know her? Sejal is a renowned party planner, and rumored to be a gold digger," he pondered aloud.

Just then, his father's voice interrupted his thoughts, "Aakash, have you found any information about her?"

"No, Dad, I'm still trying to find her contact details," Aakash replied.

His father urged him, "You need to speed up the process."

Kabir was engrossed in examining the list of assassins who had been active over the past five years. His colleague, Mishra, was by his side, and they both noticed that the bullet had been fired from a rifle.

"The bullet was fired from a rifle, Mishra, possibly from a distance of 40 meters from the shooting spot, at an angle of 50 degrees," Kabir speculated, his eyes focused on the bullet and his brother's x-ray.

"Yes, sir, and it appears the shooter was a woman," Mishra added.

"A woman, likely under the tutelage of a professional assassin," Kabir mused, his brow furrowed in thought.

"But how can you be sure she's not a professional herself?" Mishra questioned.

"Mishra, there's a specific strategy assassins employ when using a rifle. By examining my brother's x-ray, it's clear that the shooter is an amateur, likely acting under the guidance of a master. A professional assassin would have used a single bullet to finish the job," Kabir explained.

"So, are we dealing with two individuals?" Mishra asked.

"It's a possibility. Wait, this is an IWI Tavor TAR-21," Kabir suddenly exclaimed.

Mishra looked at him, puzzled by the sudden revelation.

"Mishra, the rifle is known as an IWI Tavor TAR-21" Kabir clarified, his fingers already flying across the keyboard as he began to search the internet for more information.

Vansh glanced at his wife with a roll of his eyes, "We'll have ice-cream once we land," he assured her.

"I'd also like some pani-puri," she added, biting her lip in anticipation.

For a moment, Angre found himself questioning his boss's behavior. His wife's peculiar cravings and mood swings were hard to ignore.

"Everything is moving too fast," Angre thought to himself.

"Boss, it's often better to take life at a slower pace," he suggested cautiously.

"What do you mean by 'taking it slow'?" Vansh retorted, his tone sharp.

"I'm referring to the pace of life, the rapid succession of birth, death, and everything in between. It's generally advised to take things slow and steady. I understand your patience levels, but this..." Angre trailed off, unsure of how to proceed.

"Enough! Be quiet, Dumbo!" Vansh snapped, rubbing his ear in frustration.

Vansh's loss of composure amused Angre. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why is she behaving like a pregnant woman?" Vansh pondered silently.

"Alright, make a list of everything you want, and I'll ensure we get it all once we land," Vansh conceded.

Riddhima readily agreed. Despite everything, Vansh wasn't all bad. He had taken two bullets for her, after all. But that didn't erase the fact that he had sent Sunny to spy on her, suspecting her of being in love with another man, even before their wedding.

Aakash let out an exclamation of disbelief as he scanned the CCTV footage from the hotel where Riddhima had stayed.

"Why is Vansh Raisinghania pursuing Riddhima di? Is it for money or property? But he's already incredibly wealthy," he pondered aloud.

His thoughts were interrupted by his father's frantic voice, "No, no, no! You must warn Riddhima about this. I'll do everything in my power to extricate her from Vansh's grasp. He's been after Riddhima ever since he discovered she's Hema's daughter."

"Understood, Dad. I'll get in touch with our security personnel and undercover agents to ascertain Vansh Raisinghania's true intentions," Aakash assured him.

"Her name is Sarah," Kabir announced, rifling through the files before him.

"She was originally named Gayathri, but she changed it to Sarah. She's been on the radar for about a year now," he added.

"But she's quite skilled at shooting," Mishra interjected.

"Perhaps her intention was merely to intimidate my brother and sister-in-law," Kabir speculated, delving deeper into the analysis.

"From what our sources tell us, she's been tailing Riddhima for about a month," he continued.

"Do you think she could be behind Mukund's murder?" Mishra asked.

"The firearm used to kill Mukund was different. We can't confirm if she's implicated in Mukund's murder. I'll need to inform my brother about this," Kabir concluded.

"Vansh Raisinghania, you may have thwarted my plans, but this is far from over," a man muttered under his breath as he observed Angre, Vansh, and Riddhima outside an ice-cream parlor. "I won't rest until I've disrupted your peace. Remember, all that you possess rightfully belongs to me." His words were laced with a chilling promise of retribution.
