Bus stop par bheed thi.
Log haste, baatein karte, phones scroll karte…
kisi ko andaza nahi tha ki danger unke beech khada hai.
Inspector Aarav plain clothes me tha.
Uski nazar har chehre par thi.
Aur tab…
uski nazar us par ruki.
Normal kapde.
Shaant aankhen.
Bilkul wahi face jo photo me tha.
Dono ki aankhen mili.
Killer ko pata chal gaya — game ab chhup-chhup ke nahi.
Aarav dheere dheere uske paas aaya.
"Bus ka wait kar rahe ho?" Aarav ne casual tone me poocha.
Killer halka sa muskuraya.
"Main hamesha kisi ka wait karta hoon, Inspector."
Aarav ka dil zor se dhadka.
Usne gun nahi nikali.
Bheed bahut thi.
"Tumhara khel khatam ho chuka hai," Aarav bola.
Killer ne bheed ki taraf dekha aur kaha, "Yahin?
In sab ke beech?
Tum risk nahi loge."
Aur tab…
twist.
Killer ne apna phone Aarav ki taraf badha diya.
Screen par live CCTV feed chal rahi thi.
— Police station
— Aarav ka cabin
— Aur ek aur photo…
Usi ladki ki.
Safe.
Police protection me.
Killer dheere se bola, "Wo target nahi thi, Inspector."
Aarav shocked tha.
"Phir kyun—?"
"Kyuki tumhara reaction dekhna tha,"
killer ne aankhon me aankhen daal kar kaha.
"Tum predictable ho."
Bus aa gayi.
Gate khule.
Killer bheed ke saath bus me chadh gaya.
Jaate-jaate ek last line: "Agla naam… tumse juda hoga."
Bus doors band.
Aarav wahi khada reh gaya.
Usse pehli baar samajh aaya—
Ye killer sirf logon ko nahi,
system ko todna chahta hai.
Aur ye game…
ab personal ho chuka tha.
Wait please 5 chapter.....🙇😌
