CHAPTER 50

Rahim’s plan works and two bodies fall

Next morning one man with long hair came to the scooter shop by auto. He got down and approached Shanmukham. “Madam Sangita sent me to pick up her scooter. Is it ready?”

Shanmukham nodded happily. “Yes. It is ready.”

“How much should I pay?”

“Rs. 600”

The man counted the money and gave it to Shanmukham.

Shanmukham said, “Tell madam I am sorry I was a bit late in repairing it.”

“No problem. She will be happy to get the scooter in good condition.” The man took the scooter and left.

Shanmukham thought, “He has such a beautiful hair just like Doni.”

*****************************************

The man brought the scooter near Sangita’s house. He had shaved off his long hair. Sangita came out of the house. She thought, “Good. Shanmukham has sent the scooter on time.”

The man said, “Shanmukham asked me to bring your scooter. Would you like to try once?”

Sangita laughed. “No need. If Shanmukham has repaired it, I can be sure that it will not give any trouble for one year.”

She looked at the scooter and then at the man. “Are you working for him? I have never seen you before.”

The man smiled. “I am his friend.”

Father Shekhar came out of the house. “I am ready dear. Let us go.”

The man took out a packet from his pocket and opened. “Please take prasada. I had gone to Tirupati.”

Sangita and Shekhar took prasada.

Sangita said happily, “Yes. I can see that from your bald head.”

The man put his hand on his bald head.Suddenly a marriage procession came by on the road with band. Cameraman was taking video.

Sangita and Shekhar sat on the scooter. Srilaxmi came to the gate and watched them. The man climbed into an auto nearby. He sat inside the auto and pressed the remote button. The scooter burst into flames. The auto left. Two bodies fell. Hearing the sound of blast, Sirlaxmi came running out of the house. She watched in a shock. Then she screamed. The marriage cameraman recorded the scene of the burning scooter.

*************************************

Ram got a phone call. He listened and was shocked. He put his hand on his head and cried. Aslam consoled him putting his hand on his shoulder.

Ram said, “These terrorists are targeting my family members instead of me. They killed my wife first. Now they have killed my father and my sister.”

He looked at the photo of his family and cried.

*************************************************

Rahim was very happy that his plan was a success.  “I am satisfied I got 2 dead bodies for Akbar’s death. I don’t think he will be able to recover from this stroke in this life. He may even leave the job.”

Razani said, “He has left Delhi and is going to Hyderabad.”

Rahim said happily, “I will replace him soon. This time we should blast the parliament itself. All the MPs and ministers should die. That is my target.”

Razani said, “Suicide bombers are ready and waiting for your action plan. 10 days are enough for us.”

Rahim nodded, ‘Yes. On that day I will be there in his place for the action plan.”
