Channa Mereya - A ShraMan FF

Chapter - 28

Suman is in Tiwari Qilla?? Gasped everyone. Are you sure Shravan? Asked Ramnath
Yes Papa, she gave us clues without Gautam knowing it. I understand now, Gautam knew we would look everywhere for Sumo but will never doubt she would be in Tiwari Qilla. But that Oberoi prince doesn't know Sumo, said Shravan with a chuckle and a sense of pride. She never failed to amaze him, he thought with a smile anticipating to be with her soon

Suman was yet to reunite with the whole family but everyone was elated to know that she was closer than they thought. It's just a matter of time now. Preeti silently thanked God for the new positive development.

This changes everything said one of the Officers.
Yes and I have a plan. We have to be very careful how we execute this plan said Shravan firmly. We cannot let Gautam doubt that we know their location.

Everyone agreed as Shravan divided them into 3 teams. He quickly made a call to the Commissioner for his advice and discussed his plan of action. He then called the informers and Rahul giving them specific instructions.

I sent you a text Chotte, please arrange this before you leave whispered Shravan
Bhaiya aap bhi! what if I can't find the third one? Questioned Pushkar, koi aur chalega?
Nope quipped Shravan at first, then he thought for a second and replied 'only if you can't find it'
Pushkar smiled at his brother's antics but he was happy to see him happy, how can he not try for this pure soul who had just wished for one thing in his life, Sumo. He remembered a contact that can arrange this and inquired about it as he needed it to be delivered right away.

Oberoi mansion outhouse:

Something is definitely wrong said Mukesh taking a sip of his drink at the outhouse.
Why do you say that asked Saniyal
Gautam is acting very strange, he's not picking up my calls. I had to make excuses to Bhaisaab for him
He's young replied Saniyal, he must be with his new girlfriend in Miami
That's the thing, he never let my call miss even if he's with any of his girlfriends. This time it's different, like... like he wants to prove something. I hope it's not about Aashiana
It's better you let Bhaisaab know about it, if not you might get in trouble with your brother, suggested Saniyal. And what do we do about Berry? he's not budging
They were both too drunk and were thinking of ways to talk to Mahesh Oberoi about Gautam and Berry. 'Shaitaan ka naam liya aur shaitaan hazir' they giggled when they saw Bhaisaab flashing on the phone. Instead of picking it up they were arguing about how did he call right when they were talking about him. They were knocked out for few minutes when they heard a loud noise as the front door opened with a furious Mahesh in sight. They were both jolted to consciousness as he angrily splashed water on them.

Gautam kahan hai? He asked furiously. I came to know he's not in Miami
Woh Bhaisaab, Mukesh tried to justify himself. I was gonna let you know but
But what?
You were busy, I thought I would get hold of him and then let you know about his whereabouts. He's not picking my calls for the last two weeks
TWO WEEKS??!!! And you didn't bother to tell me. How can you be so irresponsible? And you don't even care to know that Berry's family is on the way, they're definitely teaming up with Ramnath and planning something. Take Berry to the old location right away
Ok Bhaisaab
No wait, said Mahesh as Saniyal was heading towards the room where Berry was. Take him after midnight. Make sure to send men out first to check. There has been no response from Ramnath about the Will. Arrange a call with him for tomorrow and keep calling Gautam and his men until someone picks it up. This kid has gone crazy now

Jee Bhaisaab replied both Mukesh and Saniyal as Mahesh left the outhouse. They informed the men about moving Berry back to the old location after midnight

Tiwari Qilla:

Suman was doubtful if Shravan did indeed find the Will or was just trying to rescue her with a fake one. She was worried for the whole family as she had seen what Gautam can do for the Will. I hope you know what you're doing Shravan she thought. And I really hope you got my clues. She wiggled and turned to look at the wall with the bullet hole. It was right next to the family picture. She sighed at the thought of anyone from her family getting hurt in this complicated Will issue. She heard Gautam whispering to his men after the call with Shravan and was wondering what is he planning to do now
How can I help Shravan? What can I do? What if he didn't understand my clues she thought.

Malhotra Office:

Mr. Malhotra our team has noticed something while going through your security cameras, informed one of the officers. There's a car right across the street that we doubt is keeping an eye at the office. They've been acting strange, one guy has a binoculars and is seen interacting with your office help as well. Should we go ahead take them in for questioning?

Not yet, suggested Shravan. I think we can use them to distract Gautam. He will believe that I indeed left for Chandni Chowk with the Will only when his men confirm it

'What can I say it's your lucky hour bhaiya', it's on the way, texted Pushkar making Shravan smile. He then got back to the planning.
We've to play a little game with Gautam's men he added. And Papa be ready, you will call Mahesh Oberoi right after I text you.
'Sounds like a plan' replied the officer. He then handed Shravan a bulletproof vest. I suggest you wear this Mr. Malhotra.
I would be needing an extra one..

Ek nazar tumhari
Ek jhalak tumhari
Salaamat hoon mai
Hai salaamat jab tak
Dhadak tumhari
Is bechain dil ko hai
Bas ek tadap tumhari
Hai shiddat se aage
Dil mein ab
Kasak tumhari....

Precap: Ae.. Madam tumhari family toh US meh rehti hai na, toh yeh delivery truck yahan kyun aaya hai, asked one of Gautam's men peeking outside the window.
Woh meri family vacation par aa rahi hai kuch din ke liye toh unhone kuch samaan pehle bhej diya shayad replied Suman. Don't worry, woh gate ke andar rakh kar chale jayenge... you can go check it if you want..

AN: A relatively short one but I thought it's better than a delayed one. Some intense and interesting moments coming up. Will update soon after Eid. Hope you guys like it! Thanks!
