It was late at night when Sumedh reached in pimpalgaon to take Aarushi, Ranveer and Sameeksha with him. They all sat in his car and Sumedh drove towards a hill.

Because of fall in economic conditions every night there used to be load shedding. So everything was dark. This was a good thing for People like Sumedh and Sameeksha. People from the Resistance.

Car stopped near a tree. They came out and started climbing the hill which wasn't that tall. They reached on top in five minutes and saw an abandoned mandir.

"There are so many abandoned mandirs around. What is wrong with people" Aarushi wondered.

"Unko khud ko khane ke liye kuch nahi hai.. Bhagwaan ko kya prashad chadhayenge" Sameeksha said.

They reached in mandir and went in. No ome was there.

"Ab bhi jiska khun na khaula wo khoon nahi pani hai" Sumedh said this and stopped.

"Jo naa aaye desh ke kaam wo bekar jawani hai" Suddenly around fifty people, who were hiding, came in front them and said in unison.

Sumedh smiled proudly and looked at Sameeksha "This is what I've been doing for you.. Aapke naam pe yeh log ekattha kiye hai.. Aap inhe lead karengi" He said and stood with those people who were looking at Sameeksha.

"Hum sab toh ek hai.. Sabka maksad ek.. Bharat ki uss taanashah se aazadi.." Sameeksha said.

"Didi aap jaisa bolengi hum waisa karenge.. Hamara ghar, hamare gharwale sab chhin liye gaye hamse.. Bacche anath ho gaye, aurate be aabru ho gayi.. Ab jaan jaye toh bhi behtar.. Par bina lade nahi marenge.." A man said.

"Haan didi" Another man said "Ab marna bhi pade toh bhi chalega.. Par maut Bhagat singh jaisi chahiye"

Sameeksha proudly looked at those people. There were people from all age groups. Women were also part of it. She recognised some of them. Not all were from her party. Some were from Indrajit singh's party who was ruling party at the time when Gurmeet took over.

"Hamare Neta Shri Indrajit Singh ko Gurmeet ne bandi bana rakha hai.. Unke jaan ki hame bahot chinta hai" A woman said.

"I understand.. Hamare Rashtrapati ko toh Gurmeet ne maar dala.. Par Prime minister ko nahi.. Prime minister unke bhai jo hai" Gurmeet said "Par Gurmeet kabhi bhi kuch bhi kar sakta hai.. He is a mindless dictator. No law binds him. Nothing is there to stop him. That's why he is dangerous"

"Didi hum karenge kya?" same woman asked.

"Sabse pehle wahi baat jo abhi sabse important hai.. Hamare gharwale" Sameeksha stopped for a second and then continued "Jitne bhi bache hai utne gharwale.. Jo abhi bhi jail me hai.. Unhe waha se nikalna hoga.. Aur uske liye hame kuch karna padega"

"Kya?" Sumedh asked.

"Hame duniya ke samne Gurmeet ka mukhauta faadna hoga.. Hum foreign diplomats ko Gurmeet ka wo chehra dikhayenge jo wo sabse chhupa raha hai" Sameeksha said.

"Par kaise?" Aarushi asked.

"Tum logome se kiske pas camera hai?" Sameeksha asked.

"Hum sabke pas phones hai.. Hamare pas camera hai" A man asked.

"Jo torture camps banaye gaye hai unke pas jake waha ke photos kaun click kar sakta hai? " Sameeksha asked.

Everyone started looking at each other.  There was a pin drop silence

"I can do it" A boy, who was barely twenty, said.

"What's your name?" Sameeksha asked.

"Nirbhay" He told "Nirbhay Desai"
