Chapter 49: "The Evil Planners and The Masterminds-1"

The episode starts with Rehaan and Aditya tied to the trees. Riddhima and Vansh were standing in front of them. Ajay with both the teams of tripple M was also standing there. Vansh started to speak,
V: So, lets start with the first story, "The Evil Planners".

"Once upon a time"

Adi: Shut up!! This is not a bedtime story!!! Just get to the point dammit!!!

Thuddddddd!!!!!

No sooner did he speak when Riddhima removed out her gun angrily and shot his arm. The bullet pierced in his arm and he cried out in pain.
Aditya glared Riddhima angrily writhing in pain. He gritted his teeth.
Riddhima spoke furiously,
Rid(furious): Don't you dare interrupt me or him once again! Or next time, I will pierce a hot iron rod in this very hole, I created in your arm. And Believe me! I am dying to do this!!! So, better don't give me any chance of fulfilling my wish!

Vansh and Ajay smirked. Rehaan glared Aditya as if asking him to be quiet for sometime.
V(cool): So, what I was saying? Oh yeah!

"Once upon a time, There were two evil planners. One was Rehaan Malhotra and the second was Aditya Randhawa. They belonged to two different cities totally unknown to each other. Neither they had any connection between them nor thay had ever met each other But....They had some qualities very common in them. Pride! Filth! Greed! Stubbornness! And much more.

Rehaan belonged to a rich family and was the only son of Vikram Malhotra. He had never seen poverty or any kind of hardships in life. Whatever he demanded, whatever he desired for, he was given that thing proudly. He was a pampered child being one and only and had always lived life like a prince. All these things turned him into a conceited, rude and selfish person. When his father died, He started managing his father's business but because of his dominating and rageful behaviour, his business suffered loss and the company was sealed. Not accepting his defeat and a desire to achieve his dreams, he joined Indian Military Intelligence. Their he worked hard and achieved a very high rank in the department. He wanted to be the king! To be the chief! But he wanted it to be forever. Achieveing a high rank didn't satisfied his nature of ruling over the others. So, he made a new aim. To be the king of both Intelligence and Mafia world. That day, he started his cunning plannings. He was nominated for the position of chief but there was one difficulty in his path. Rajveer Randhawa! His best friend in Intelligence and his competitor for the designation. In all those days, he had developed a kind of dislikeness for Rajveer and likeness for a girl, named Riddhima. And soon, with a proposal incident, the dislikeness turned into hatred and likeness turned into obsession. He wanted to destroy both of them but the thing was, he didn't know how to do it beacuse both Riddhima and Rajveer were highly respected in the department. In all this, the destiny made him meet another person, Aditya Randhawa.

Aditya Randhawa was the younger brother of Rajveer. They lived in a joint family with his parents, his sister and his bua. Rajveer was a responsible and caring person but Aditya being younger, irresponsible and mischievous one, always used to be jealous of his elder brother. He thought that his brother is being more loved by everyone. According to him, Rajveer was an attention seeker. All this had developed jealousy in him. He used to make mischieves and being scolded everytime. Rajveer though used to take his side because he loved Aditya alot, but Aditya had always considered it his fake care. Stopping Aditya from becoming a spoilt child, He was sent to boarding school at the age of 12. Aditya completed his primary and secondary education from that boarding school, away from the family and he always considered Rajveer responsible for this. Soon, for higher studies, Aditya went to London. Their he started studying business. When he came to know that his brother had joined intelligence and his family is proud of him, he decided to defeat his brother by becoming even more successful than him. And you know when a person being jealous develops an aim to defeat someone else, he always goes towards the wrong path. So did Aditya. He went to the one of the biggest mafia of the world, Charlie Coles. He started working very honestly in this illegal and dishonest profession and soon, gaining Charlie's trust, he became the most trusted men of Charlie or we can say, the most wanted Mafia! Then came a time in Aditya's life when his father divided his property equally between his two children, Rajveer and Aisha(Rajveer's sister). He didn't give anything to Aditya as he came to know that Aditya had joined Mafia. He disowned him. Aditya again considered Rajveer responsible for this and his hatred reached to another level. He wanted to get all the property of Rajveer on his name.

With two different aims and a common enemy, Rehaan and Aditya's path crossed each other and they did a deal. According to the deal, Aditya will make Rehaan achieve a high position in mafia world and in return, Rehaan will kill Rajveer either by openly murdering him or by defaming him. And in this way, Aditya could claim Rajveer's property. Rehaan started his work by stealing the information of criminals of those cases, Rajveer was handling. He transferred all that information to Aditya who then got them out. With winning different mafia's trust, Rehaan stepped in the world of mafia. Aditya made Rehaan a much successful gangster in mafia world and in return, for satisfying his desires and for revenge, he trapped Rajveer and Riddhima in the drugs case. Their plan was going on perfectly. Rajveer was jailed and Rehaan achieved what he wanted. But Rajveer's one step turned Aditya's life upside down. Rajveer married Riddhima and in this way, his all property transferred to Riddhima's name. This made Aditya furious and he started blackmailing Rehaan. Rehaan in rage to achieve his aim, kidnapped the whole family of Rajveer and Riddhima. Aditya had no problem with this act as he hated his family as much as he hated Rajveer. Moreover, when a person's hand gets stained with someone's blood then his heart turns into a stone. Rehaan brutally killed Rajveer's family but it was important to keep Riddhima alive. Afterall, she was the owner of a property of 100 crores. He knew that if he killed Riddhima too then Aditya will kill him. And after that, everything happened the same way, you all know.

After that incident, Rehaan escaped to Belgium. Aditya also went underground because strict investigations started for that massacre. But soon, the case was closed because there were no proof and no witnesses. Aditya continued working as a mafia but he also started studying again to complete his business degree in order to develop a good image of him. Riddhima joined intelligence and it became even more difficult for Aditya to reach Riddhima. So, he decided to wait for some years. 5 years passed away. Aditya had never met Riddhima and Rehaan was not able to approach Riddhima so, again, the two evil planners came together with different aim but the same enemy, Riddhima Shah. Rehaan wanted to kill Riddhima to complete his Revenge and Aditya wanted to get the property transferred on his name by Riddhima. They made a plan and started executing it. 6 months ago, Aditya came back to Mumbai and met Riddhima. He acted to be innocent and helpless because he knew that Riddhima is unaware of his relation with his family. He tried to win Riddhima's trust and told her his identity. Rajveer had never told anything about his brother to her, so, Riddhima did an investigation on him and soon it was confirmed that Aditya was speaking the truth. Riddhima told him everything about Rajveer and Aditya falsely vowed to take revenge from Rajveer. Riddhima was trusting Aditya completely. Aditya gathered all the information about Rehaan but it was fake. That's why, Riddhima was not able to reach Rehaan.
The fate was going in the favour of both the evil planners but one mistake, turned their fate upside down. The game turned over in the favour of the masterminds!"

Rid: And from here, starts the stroy of the Mastermind. I mean us!

"So, when Aditya told me that Rehaan has returned, I called tripple M. After that, what actually happened was I went to a restaurant with all the family. Rehaan followed me and Aditya followed Rehaan. They both came to the restaurant. Rehaan wanted to scare me to show his return in my life. He hired a shooter for this purpose. Aditya was unaware of this. When that person aimed at his gun at me, I caught him in reflection of mirror and shot him. After whatever happened there, I went to check the dead body for evidence,

Flashback starts,
After the gunshots being heard, Everyone started panicking and went out of restaurant. Vansh and Riddhima were only left there. Riddhima went towards the dead body to check it. She bent down to its level but was surprised. The shooter was shot right in the chest.

R(herself): How can this be possible? I had aimed at his leg. I never miss my shot. How can this be possible that he had been shot in the chest. (Thinking and focusing) It means someone else shooted him right at the same moment when I shot him and that too in his chest. Who can do this? Its a work of a highly trained sharp shooter. I have to find him.

She got up but didn't react.
Flashback ends.

Rid: After that everything happened the same was as you all know. When Vansh asked me about informing the police, I denied beacuse I wanted to do the post-mortem of the body myself. And I did that too. When I did the post mortem of that body, I came to know about the distance and direction from where he was shooted. I went to the restaurant again and to my surprise, my findings reached to the conclusion that the place from where the shooter was shot, it was the same place where Aditya was sitting. And as much as I knew Aditya, He didn't even know how to hold a gun. And that day, I became suspicious of Aditya. I decided to not involve Aditya in my mission any further but I will act as if I trust him completely. Vansh didn't know anything about it till that time. All those attacks that were happening, I was sure that it was Rehaan but somehow, I started doubting Aditya to be involved with him too. It was not confirmed yet.

The next day, I went to the office and intentionally made two teams. Fake tripple M and real Tripple M. I introduced fake tripple M to Aditya and told him that they are my most trusted man. In this way, Aditya started thinking that I am trusting him completely that's why, I introduced him to my most trusted men. And on the other hand, I asked real tripple M to find about you both(Aditya and Rehaan).

Rid(To Aditya): Well, Aditya! I must say, you are an amazing actor. (Mimicking Aditya) I want to take revenge on Rehaan for killing my brother. I can't control myself. (Sarcastically) Unbelievable!!!!!

"Well, at that moment, I didn't know anything about you. I just had a doubt which I asked real tripple M to find out. They took no more than 24 hours to find out that you were the partener of Rehaan. They also find out that all the information that you provided to the fake tripple M about Rehaan was wrong. You were just misleading them. The work of fake tripple M was just to act and make you believe that they are working with you and trusting you. However, the real tripple M were continuously following you everywhere and infact, they had heard you talking with Rehaan when you told him that Vansh is my fiance. Knowing that Vansh is my fiance, made you both go crazy. (To Aditya) You thought that if I got married to him then all my property will be transferred to his name and Rehaan thought that if I got the support of Vansh then it would become even more difficult to kill me. This one news hit both of your ego really hard and you both did another mistake.
(Angrily) You tried to attack my Vansh!!!! At that very moment, Our enemity went to another level of its peak!!!

When Vansh was shot, I took him to the hospital. After his treatment was done and he was unconscious. In the waiting room, I was wondering about Aditya's motives. A lot of questions were roaming in my mind when the real tripple M came to meet me in the hospital to tell me another shocking news.

Flashback starts,

In hospital,
Riddhima was sitting on a seat in waiting room and wondering,
R(himself): What could make a person go against his own brother and join his enemy? What could make Aditya do partenership with Rehaan when he knew everything about him? And the most important, why was Aditya behaving so nicely with me and showing to help me when actually he was against me? And this attack on Vansh....Was it also because Aditya informed Rehaan about Vansh being my fiance?

She was in her deep thoughts when The real tripple M came to meet her. Riddhima got up being tensed,
R(tensed): Did you find something? What is Aditya's motive? Why is he helping Rehaan?
Mahesh: We told you whatever we find out Ma'am!
R: Then, Why are you here?
Mishra: Actually, we know what Aditya wants. We know his motive!
R(shocked): What!!! (Angrily) Then, Why didn't you tell me? What is it?
Micheal: He wants your property Ma'am! Rajveer sir's mansion! That worths 100 crores.
Mishra: He is acting nicely with you because he wants you to transfer that property on his name. Because in any other case, like if he forced you or tried to snatch it, then, the property will be transferred to some NGO. Moreover, because of the same reason, he can't challenge it in the court too.
R(shocked): What!!! But...But why? Why didn't you tell me this? And since when have you been knowing about it?
Mahesh: We got to know about it long time back. We confirmed it when we saw him meeting a lawyer. From the very start, he wanted his property only. Afterall, their relations were never good.
R: Who told you this? (Irritated) You are confusing me!
Mishra: Rajveer sir told us all! 5 years ago! He knew about Aditya!
Riddhima was shocked but extremely confused.
R: Do you even know what you are saying?
Micheal: We will tell you from the start.
" When you both were in jail being accused of drugs smuggling, Rajveer sir asked us to find proofs to save them. In all this, we find out the proofs but we also find out one more thing. That Aditya was helping Rehaan in all that. Aditya was responsible for damaging Rajveer's reputation and getting you both entrapped in that drugs case. We also find out that he wanted Rajveer's property. We went to meet Rajveer sir in jail and told him all this. He was broken to the core. When you both released from the jail, that day, Rajveer sir went to meet Aditya.

Flashback in the flashback start,......(Don't be confused)
Rajveer searched for Aditya's location and went to meet him. Aditya was in his flat. Rajveer went in anger,
R: Why are you doing this?
A: Doing what bro!
R: I know you are the one who has stolen all those records from my office to defame me. You are the one helping Rehaan.
A: So what? Isn't it fun?
R: Have you thought about our family?
A: Your family!!! Not mine! They are nothing to me!!
R: How can you say that? Are you....
A: Oh Don't start your lecture again full of sympathy, emotions and wisdom. I am fed up of this! That's your family not mine! I don't care!
R: So, its all because they disowned you? You are taking revenge?
A(furious): I am standing at this place just because of you. You always wanted to be the dearest in everyone's eyes. You always wanted to be highly reputed. You even snatched my right! You deserve all this!!
R: So, you did all this just for a mere piece of land? A property of some crores!
A(angrily): 100 crores!!!
Rajveer chuckles sarcastically looking in eyes. Greed and Hatred was clearly visible in Aditya's eyes.
R: What is Riddhima's fault in all this? Why have you trapped him?
A: Riddhima is Rehaan's prey. I have nothing to do with that girl. My revenge is from you. And I swear I will not back off until I get my right!
R: So, this is what you joined mafia for! Taking revenge on me! Ok! I will fight back too. I will not let an innocent suffer. (Referring to Riddhima)
A(Sarcastically): A person who even after knowing that his brother is a mafia, did nothing to catch him, what so big will he do to protect that innocent? You can't win this battle Rajveer! Afterall, the ones against you are your own brother and your own best friend!

Rajveer didn't speak anything. He knew well how helpless he was. Aditya's words hit him hard. It was true. He knew well that his brother was a mafia but he never let anyone know about it. It was not because he feared for his reputation getting ruined. It was because Aditya was very dear to him. Though Aditya hated him the most, but he had always loved him. How can he get him jailed, afterall......he was his own dear brother. He couldn't believe that the person whom he once held in his arms when he was born, is now thirsty of his blood. He didn't say anything but for the sake of his profession and his promise towards Riddhima, he was able to say one thing only,
R: I will not let that property go in wrong hands! I will not let an innocent suffer! Even if I have to give my life for this! Its my promise to you Aditya!
Saying so, he leaves from there.

Flashback in the flashback ends.

Mishra speaks,
Mishra: Rajveer sir knew that even if you both get rid of Rehaan and that case, Aditya will not leave you both. And he couldn't let that property go in wrong hands. He was helpless. He had no other way. He had made us promise him that we wouldn't tell anything about Aditya to anyone. He asked us to not tell anything to you. And that's why, he did all that. There was one more reason to marry you aprt from what he told you, that the property gets transferred on your name. It won't be easy to snatch away that property from you because you got Ajay sir's back support. Moreover, he added all those condition(Neither forced nor challenge in court) to secure you and that property even more. When Rehaan gave his statement in the court against you both, he knew it all at that very moment that he had no other way left. So, he intentionally accepted that crime. Even if he hadn't, they would have killed him. His death was written in all the ways. He was sentenced for jail but he didn't lose strength. He deliberately ran away from the jail so that he could reach you and the officers could catch Rehaan red-handed. He knew that if everything went according to the plan, automatically your protection would increase. And Aditya and Rehaan with the fear of being caught, they will escape. He could have been saved but what broke him the most was that his family was killed brutally and he wasn't able to do anything. He wasn't able to fight his own brother and his own best friend. And he embraced death to fulfill his last promise of saving an innocent.

Micheal: We had hidden all this in our heart for years but when in the morning, you ordered us to find out about Aditya, we couldn't stop ourselves from telling you this. Rajveer sir wanted us to protect you for lifetime. We thought that we might lose another gem if we didn't tell you all this. We had to break our promise.

Riddhima listening to all this was broken to the core. She had tears in her eyes that had made their way to her cheeks. Rajveer had did alot of things for her. She was already in debted to him but learning all this, she felt even more guilty. She was speechless standing like a statue.

Mishra: This is not the time to fall weak. Rajveer Sir had always trusted you. He knew that you would fight for him. You have to be brave and courageous. Its time to pay back Ma'am! And we are with you. We are ready to give our lives for thousand times to give justice to him! We are with you.

Riddhima having tears in her eyes, smiled. She wiped her tears and in a minute her helplessness turned into fierceness. She said,
R: They have targeted Vansh this time. His safety is my first priority. Transfer him to the mansion. He would be the safest there. We will discuss our plan later.

Flashback ends.
