Suman was at soared restlessness... She couldn't take her eyes off Shravan ...After he woke up from unconsciousness , she didn't insist  him to say anything as she meant only his recovery ...

Now... It's the time to know everything... And, what she scared about was his health... he should not have high blood pressure... if so, again his blood vessels in the brain will start to bleed...It may be fatal too..

   Meanwhile, everyone's attention was at Shravan... He cleared his throat deliberately...

He held his breath and about to get up...

" Shravan...you can sit and talk"

The judge insisted him to sit...

" But...it is not the regime". He stated...

" No Shravan... It's okay  in certain situations..you can sit"

Shravan nodded thankfully...

" Your honour.... As sir told I was appointed for the unofficial task... Initially, I didn't bather much about my life and reputation... I have done the job wholeheartedly, thinking that I may die even in this mission "

He paused for a second... Then , he  continued seeing suman intensively..

" Later in my life ,  a girl barged in... She made my soul to be hers...Like every human being I yearned  to live a normal life ... in a family... in my own family...."

He couldn't continue as he was loaded with emotions... He hung his head down. After a momentary pause, he regained his composure...

He looked Suman who was already starring at him... She slowly walked to  stand behind him  and pressed his shoulders, a mere gesture of support...

He smiled... Sighing deep, he continued...

" She doesn't know what I was doing ...but, I was sure that I shouldn't continue the task anymore... Serbia was my last target. Like every time, I shortcut the signals in the Serbian signal processing units...I  found that  our sattelittes signals are copied by them... But, to my surprise I couldn't locate the exact place from where they're copying our signals... "

"  I don't know how and why they're copying our signals... moreover, Why they wanted to control our sattelittes"

" I was blindly thinking and at one point, selfish thoughts hit my mind... A pretty girl and a beautiful family is waiting for me... Why would I die like an orphan...?"

" I was out of control and couldn't focus on my work... I would have located the exact place in Serbia if I tried.. but, I chose to return..."

" While my brain was reminding me the  duty to country , my mind won that I should return to my Love..."

As everyone listened speechless, Suman patted his shoulders... He held her hands and pressed them gently...

" I think I was followed since I boarded at Serbia... I found it weird when I noticed him.. He was behind me wherever I go...  I was alarmed .. so, I pretended to make a call in public Booth... "

" Initially, I thought to inform Neeraj sir about this... But, left the idea as I was not sure about my suspicion..."

" So , I called my number's voice mail box and gave a short hint... I deliberately left my mobile with my luggage..."

" I know, if something goes wrong, Suman knew my phone's password  and she could contact Leena to inform the code that the immediate intervention is necessary"

" As I guessed, he approached me..."

" He threatened me to go with him... I had no idea who he was and what he was up to...  I decided one thing for sure, I should not be a trouble to anyone... whatever happens with me should affect no one...So , I have kept all my identity cards and wallet in my luggage and I left them in the airport... "

" He told me to drive a bike... At some distance, he told me to stop the bike and at gun point, He demanded me that I should help to exchange a gadget in ISRO...I tried to make him understand that I could do nothing with his demand...but, he wasn't listening"

" Meanwhile, there came a truck... He opened the container and showed me the gadget which was exactly like ISRO's gadget... We use that kind of gadget in space shuttle... I was wondered how they could manufacture  the same like original..."

"  Already , ISRO had ordered the same  gadget from Hyderabad which I was not aware of... He wanted me to place their gadget in the original' s place..."

Shravan saw SenGupta... SenGupta hurriedly nodded...

" Yes... We have received the gadget from Hyderabad  few days ago..."

His face was tensed to understand the seriousness...

" But... How come they know about this? Our consignment was a top secret related to government ". He questioned with much surprise...

Shravan laughed...

" Sir... It's not an overnight deal.... They would have planned everything after keen observation..."

He stated ....

Shravan's mind went back to that  night when his life was at stake...

    " I can't do this anymore...leave me now... You are mistaken.. I am not the person you are looking for..."

Shravan rose his voice...

He laughed and pressed the gun at Shravan's throat...

" Don't show your intelligence to me... I know you .... And, it's already decided... Within three or four days the original order from Hyderabad will reach ISRO... Before the original gadget reach ISRO ,  you have to exchange it on the way itself.."

Shravan struggled to speak, as he was pressing his throat with the pistal...

" This could be done by anyone... Why me? And , what if I say no..."

  He showed his teeth and chuckled...

" Oh...you want to know the reason...? "

He paused and threw a disgusting look at Shravan...

" Because, we don't like Indian intelligent scientists..."

Again, he laughed loudly...

" What did you say...? You have no other choice Malhothra... You will not risk the children's life for this.. hope you understand"

He threw the pistal to the truck driver and dialled some numbers in his mobile...

My goodness!!! They are targeting the orphanage children as hostage...!!!!

Shravan shook his head and  looked the driver who was pointing the pistal to him... He was sweating profuse and the hold was loose that his hands were trembling...

Shravan thought to take risk.. He saw him angrily...

" Sir...I am not one of them ... They called me to drive this truck for one day salary basis.. I will not be a part of this... I have a family.. please help me sir... I want to go"

The driver's statement gave some energy to shravan...

He winked at him... whispering...

" Give me the gun... If you have a chance, leave the truck and  run away... "

Shravan snatched the gun from the driver and pointed it to the terrorist...he ordered him in high tone...

"Give me the phone... Kneel down on the floor ... Now..."

The terrorist wasn't afraid... Instead , he clapped his hands...

" Wise move... But , not adequate... Do you think I am a fool...?! If I burst this bomb , we all will die..."

He showed the timer bomb attached to the bike...

" I don't care...kneel down now...". Shravan told clearly...

The terrorist huffed restlessly...

" Oawee... How would I tell you now...? Mr. Intelligent scientist....listen now... This truck has a gadget that was sealed with one hundred kgs of plutonium..."

" Plutonium?!?!"

Shravan's throat parched to utter the word...

The terrorist curled his lips sarcastic...

" Yes... You had not forgotten Hiroshima and Nagasaki I trust.... "

His words struck shravan like bullets...

  Atomic bomb!!!!!!
