Chapter 23

Poland;

"Where has that Bastard hidden Rachel, now," Nakul said as he scanned the surroundings for clues.

"I think I might know the answer to that, Nakul" Bipin said as he went over and opened the coffin in the centre of the ceremony.

Inside it was a hand, legs and mouth taped Rachel, her eyes wide with fear.

"He was going to bury her ALIVE?" Pranav whispered to Aditi as Nakul rushed forward to help her recover and the sound of police sirens covered the area.

Nakul put his hand around Rachel as both of them sat on a bench, away from the chaos.

"I want to inspire people Nakul. That's the reason I teach toddlers. And unfortunately, I can't do any of it I'm dead"

"You inspire me," Nakul said looking hopefully at her.

"I am just not cut out for this lifestyle Nakul. Call me if you decide to stop chasing these brains, dangerous, criminals," she said, before getting up and being escorted out by the local police.

"Hey guys, I feel like I need to explain myself," Nakul said coming to the team.

"Nothing to worry about, Nakul. Bipin briefed us on our way here. Sorry I ever doubted you" Victor said going straight in and giving Nakul a giant hug. Slowly but steadily, all of the team had joined in the group hug.

"Guess no one was the imposter among us, Nakul," said Bipin after they were done with the group hug.

"Yeah, I admit I was wrong," Nakul said, his head bowing down and his arm going to scratch the back of his head.

"All of us were just trying to protect our country through different means and the communication gap was the hardest one to bridge," Bipin said to the team.

"I'll see you back at my office, Nakul," Bipin said as he towards the vanity van.

Pranav came next, "I knew it, Nakul. I LOVE YOU!"

"Calm down, Horlicks boy, I love you too," Nakul said, hugging it out.

Soon after, Pranav pulled back saying, "Too long, Too long" and followed Bipin back to the vanity van.

Zoya was the next one to come, "So you don't need us now or what?" She asked seriously,

"Are you kidding me? I couldn't have achieved even 1 per cent of this without you guys" Nakul replied and winked slightly at Zoya

"You guys were incredibly brave," he said as Zoya jumped and danced her way back to the van.

Victor came next, "I'm sorry bro."

"There is nothing to be sorry about, Vic. We couldn't have possibly found Bakhtiyar without your antics." To which Victor laughed heartily and head back to the van.

Aditi ran towards Nakul and hugged him real hard. After she hugged the crap out of Nakul, she gave him a quick peck on his lips and said "I was worried sick, Nakul" while biting her lips.

"I've just had a breakup, Aditi."

"Who cares, " she said, "I don't!" As she frolicked her way back to the van and for the first time in many many years, Nakul smiled.
