A motorbike rider dressed in full leather outfit and helmet, rammed through the opening in the barricade towards the stage, and shot at Pratap Chaudhary with a revolver.
ACP Ajay Singh Rathore chased the bike rider on his motorbike, hell bent on cat...
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer. - Jean De La Fontaine.
Ajay threw a warning look to his friends, pulled Amrita back into a hug, and kissed her softly on her forehead.
"Everything is going to be all right now. I promise. Just trust me. Ok? I don't want to see you crying like this again. Please, I can't bear it." He said softly.

Amrita looked up into his face and smiled, as she wiped off her tears, and nodded in understanding.
They both slowly walked back to the table and joined Shyam and Mukesh.
Mukesh and Shyam too looked happy and relieved to see them both together. Mukesh raised his tea cup and toasted
"To friendship!" and they all raised their cups too. Somewhere in all their minds, thoughts of Vidya were lingering.
When the Dhaba waiter came to serve the food, Ajay managed to move away towards the hedges, pretending to be on the phone.
They finished their dinner quickly, as Shyam warned that it was not safe for Ajay to be out in the open anymore, as every TV channel was telecasting the horrific explosion, and details of his tragic death, along with his photo.
"Ammu, one more thing. Mukesh and I talked to Brijesh uncle immediately after the explosion. We briefly explained to him what happened, and advised him not to get panicked watching the news about Ajay. I have also explained why neither of you can speak to him directly right now.
He understood totally, and just asked me to make sure that you keep yourselves safe. That's all."
Amrita was worrying about this, and was thankful for their friends' forethought.
Shyam took out two cell phones which looked slightly bigger and different.
"SI Sarang gave me these to give to you guys. Apparently the DIG had arranged for these special non traceable phones. Only the DIG, Sarang, Lawyer Khurana and us two know these numbers. Please try not to call us, unless there is an emergency. We are going to a safe house... kind of. It is a farm house owned by Mukesh's uncle, and it is about 100km from here. I have been told that DIG had arranged security and surveillance on the building for your protection. So stay safe and be happy. We have purchased most of the groceries needed for a 10 day stay, including clothes for you both. Also all the medicines and dressing necessary for Ajay's wound. Ammu you need to change the dressing every 3 days." Shyam explained.
"Is that all Mukesh, or did I miss anything?" he turned towards his friend.
"Yes, Sarang asked us to stay with you for a few days till the news dies down, and they can be sure that neither me nor Shyam will be tailed. We can come back to the city then. After that you two lovebirds have to stay all alone unfortunately, and not get out of the farm house. So sad!" Mukesh added mockingly.
