Aarav ne jaldi se apna bag uthaya aur room se bahar nikal gaya.
Uske dimaag me sirf ek hi baat chal rahi thi.
USB drive ko safe rakhna.
Sadak par wahi black car ab bhi khadi thi.
Jaise hi Aarav building se bahar aaya, car ka door dheere se khula.
Aarav turant samajh gaya ki situation dangerous hai.
Usne bina time waste kiye opposite direction me chalna shuru kar diya.
Kuch seconds baad usse peeche footsteps sunayi diye.
Koi uska peecha kar raha tha.
Aarav tez chalne laga.
Phir woh ek narrow gali me ghus gaya.
Gali bilkul sunsaan thi.
Usne peeche mud kar dekha.
Wahi aadmi uske peeche aa raha tha.
Uska chehra serious tha.
Aarav ka heart fast beat kar raha tha.
Achanak us aadmi ne kaha,
"Ruk jao Aarav."
Aarav turant ruk gaya.
"Tum mera naam kaise jaante ho?" Aarav ne ghabra kar pucha.
Woh aadmi dheere dheere uske paas aaya.
Phir usne kaha,
"Kyuki hum tumhe kaafi time se dekh rahe hain."
Aarav confuse ho gaya.
"Hum?"
Woh aadmi muskuraaya.
"Main akela nahi hoon."
Aarav ke peeche se achanak do aur log aa gaye.
Ab Aarav teen logon ke beech me tha.
Unme se ek ne kaha,
"USB drive hume de do."
Aarav samajh gaya ki yeh wahi log hain jo laboratory par attack karne aaye the.
Usne gusse se kaha,
"Main kabhi nahi dunga."
Woh aadmi thoda sa hasa.
"Tumhe lagta hai tumhare paas choice hai?"
Tabhi Aarav ko Dr Mehta ki baat yaad aayi.
"Kuch powerful organizations is technology ko chahte hain."
Aarav ne pucha,
"Tum log kaun ho?"
Woh aadmi thoda serious ho gaya.
Phir usne dheere se kaha,
"Hum Shadow Organization se hain."
Aarav ka chehra tension se bhar gaya.
"Shadow Organization?"
Us aadmi ne kaha,
"Hum duniya ki sabse powerful secret group hain."
"Hum governments ko control karte hain."
"Hum wars ko start aur end karte hain."
Aarav shock ho gaya.
"Tum log Dr Mehta ki technology se duniya ko control karna chahte ho."
Woh aadmi muskuraaya.
"Exactly."
"Isliye USB drive hume de do."
Aarav ne mana kar diya.
"Never."
Usi moment unme se ek aadmi Aarav ki taraf badha.
Situation bahut dangerous ho chuki thi.
Tabhi achanak gali ke dusre side se ek loud sound aaya.
BANG!
Sab log ek second ke liye ruk gaye.
Door ek bike khadi thi.
Bike par ek insaan helmet pehne hua tha.
Usne chillakar kaha,
"Aarav! Jaldi yahan aao!"
Aarav confuse ho gaya.
Lekin usne chance liya aur turant bike ki taraf bhaaga.
Bike rider ne usse jaldi se peeche baithne ko kaha.
Aarav bike par baith gaya.
Aur bike full speed me wahan se nikal gayi.
Shadow Organization ke log peeche reh gaye.
Kuch minutes baad bike ek safe jagah par ruk gayi.
Aarav ne pucha,
"Tum kaun ho?"
Bike rider ne apna helmet utara.
Aarav shock ho gaya.
Uske saamne Dr Karan Mehta khade the.
Aarav ne hairani se kaha,
"Dr Mehta… aap zinda hain!"
Dr Mehta ne serious tone me kaha,
"Haan Aarav."
"Game abhi khatam nahi hua."
"Yeh to bas shuruaat hai."
Door kahi Shadow Organization ke log phir se unhe dhundhne nikal chuke the.
Aur ab fight sirf technology ki nahi thi.
Yeh fight duniya ke future ki thi.
