The soft rays of the sun filtered through the window blinds, slowly waking Ankit from his sleep. The alarm clock blared loudly, breaking the silence of the morning. Reluctantly, Ankit rolled out of bed, walked over to the window, and gazed outside. The city was still waking up. People were heading out to work, and the streets were starting to fill with life. Ankit quickly got ready, grabbed his bag, and called out, "Lucky, hurry up, we're getting late!"
Downstairs, Lucky was already ready. A smile played on his face as he jokingly said, "You're always late, man." Ankit laughed and slapped his bag over Lucky's shoulder. The two set out on foot towards college.
A Normal Day at College
When they reached college, everything seemed normal. Classes started as usual. The professor discussed new topics, but Ankit's mind was elsewhere. During the break, Lucky noticed his distracted behavior and asked, "What's up, bro? Why so quiet today?"
"Nothing, just a little tired," Ankit replied, not wanting to explain further.
After the day's classes, the two headed to the canteen, which was bustling with students. Ankit and Lucky grabbed some tea and sat down at a corner table. Suddenly, Ankit's phone rang.
Richa's Call and a Growing Threat
It was Richa, and her voice sounded shaky. "Ankit, there are 10-12 people standing outside my house. They're talking to our guard. I'm scared."
Hearing this, Ankit's expression changed instantly. He turned to Lucky and said, "Give me your bag." Without a second thought, he dashed towards home with all his might.
Ankit's Speed
Ankit ran as fast as he could, pushing his body to the limit. The college wasn't far from his house, so in just 4-5 minutes, he arrived. As he ran through the streets, people stared at him, surprised by his speed. A bystander muttered, "That guy's in a rush."
Ankit Meets Parveen
At the gate, he saw several people standing. Taking a deep breath, Ankit scanned the area. There, standing with a group of people, was his old friend, Parveen. Parveen smiled and said, "Why weren't you picking up the phone?"
Ankit, breathing heavily, replied, "My phone's with Lucky."
Lucky, who had caught up by now, joined them. The three friends exchanged greetings, and Richa also came out of the house. Seeing Parveen, she smiled, and then apologized to Ankit, "I'm sorry for causing you worry."
Ankit gently patted her head and said, "It's my responsibility to protect you. Don't worry."
A Private Discussion
Later, Ankit and Parveen went into a separate room. Parveen said, "Bro, I'm leaving for Delhi tomorrow with some of my guys. We just got word that Tony Flower is coming to Delhi for four days."
"Tony Flower?" Ankit asked, shocked.
"Yes, the same Tony Flower. We need to stop him," Parveen replied.
Ankit thought for a moment before saying, "I can't leave my sister alone. Her safety is my priority."
Parveen nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll leave some of my guys here to ensure your sister's protection."
They made a plan: Parveen would go to Delhi the next day, and Ankit would join him a day later.
The Next Morning
The next morning, Ankit, Lucky, and Richa went for a walk in the park. The morning air was fresh, and the soft sunlight made the atmosphere peaceful. Ankit suddenly said, "I'm leaving for Delhi tomorrow. Lucky, take care of my sister. If possible, don't let her leave the house until I return. Get anything you need today."
Lucky nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, bro. I'll take care of Richa."
A Day of Shopping and Fun
The three spent the entire day shopping and enjoying the city. They visited several markets, bought clothes, and Ankit even got a few gifts for Richa. Lucky jokingly said, "Bro, we've become Richa's bodyguards. We have no importance anymore."
Richa, slightly irritated, looked at him and said, "Your importance lies in protecting me."
They all laughed together.
Later in the evening, they went to a popular restaurant for dinner. The mood was light, and Ankit reminisced about some old memories with his friends. Richa said, "Bro, our group is incomplete without you. Come back soon."
Ankit smiled and replied, "I'll be back soon. Stay safe."
The Day Ends
After dinner, they headed to their respective rooms to rest. Ankit had to leave early the next day. With Parveen's plan and the looming threat of Tony Flower's arrival, he began preparing himself mentally. But one thought kept bothering him—Is Tony Flower's arrival just a coincidence, or is there something bigger at play?
The next day would bring new challenges and unknown events, but Ankit was ready to face whatever came his
