Chapter 66 - Episode 66 – Invitation

🚆 Love Train in Facebook Station

09:10 PM – Unknown Location (Moving Vehicle)

The city lights blurred past the tinted glass.

Inside the car—

Silence.

Not peaceful.

Tense.

Srikant sat still, eyes fixed ahead.

Beside him—

Rudra Sen was unusually quiet.

And in the back—

Sasmita looked out the window.

But her reflection—

Didn't look calm.

The Message

Rudra finally broke the silence.

"We received something."

Srikant didn't turn.

"From?"

Pause.

Rudra answered—

"Axis."

Immediate Reaction

Srikant's jaw tightened.

"Trap."

"Obviously," Rudra replied.

The Invitation

Rudra tapped the screen.

A digital invite opened.

Minimal.

Clean.

Dangerous.

PRIVATE EVENT – TONIGHT

LOCATION: RESTRICTED CLUB

ENTRY: INVITE ONLY

At the bottom—

One line:

"Come if you want answers."

Something Strange

Srikant looked at Sasmita.

She was already staring at the screen.

Too focused.

Too still.

"What do you think?" he asked.

She replied without hesitation—

"We should go."

Shock

Rudra turned immediately.

"That's exactly what they want."

Sasmita didn't argue.

Didn't explain.

Just said—

"Yes."

Why?

Srikant narrowed his eyes.

"You sound sure."

She looked at him.

And for a second—

Something flickered.

"Because…" she said slowly,

"That's where the next phase starts."

Uneasy Feeling

Rudra's voice dropped—

"You knew?"

She didn't answer.

Just looked away.

Decision

Silence filled the car.

Heavy.

Then—

Srikant spoke.

"We go."

Rudra exhaled sharply.

"Of course we do."

Transition

10:02 PM – Underground Elite Club

Loud music.

Flashing lights.

Crowd moving like waves.

Rich. Powerful. Dangerous people.

The kind who don't get questioned.

Srikant, Rudra, and Sasmita entered.

No resistance.

No checking.

That's the Problem

Srikant whispered—

"Too easy."

Rudra nodded—

"They're expecting us."

Inside the Crowd

People dancing.

Laughing.

Drinking.

Everything looked normal.

But it wasn't.

Hidden Eyes

Srikant could feel it.

They were being watched.

From somewhere.

Sasmita's Behavior

Sasmita suddenly stepped forward.

Into the crowd.

Without waiting.

"Sasmita—" Srikant called.

But she didn't stop.

Lost in Lights

She moved like she belonged there.

Like she knew the place.

Music reflecting in her eyes.

Lights flashing across her face.

Rudra whispered—

"This isn't random…"

The First Shift

Sasmita picked up a drink from a passing tray.

Didn't ask.

Didn't check.

Just took it.

"Sasmita, wait—" Srikant said.

Too late.

She already took a sip.

Eye Contact

She turned.

Looked directly at him.

And smiled.

Not soft.

Not warm.

Different.

Final Scene

Far above—

From a hidden balcony—

Sovereign watched quietly.

Beside him—

Meera Vashisht spoke—

"They came."

Sovereign's eyes didn't move from Sasmita.

"Of course they did."

Pause.

"Now…"

"Let's begin the confusion."
