Chapter 5

Sitara pov :

"VIRAJ"....

I felt like the ground is slipped under my feet. A cold shiver run in my spine. Viraj is tied to a chair in the middle of this disgusted room. He is beaten badly. A tear left my eye followed by many .

I felt a hard gaze on me and when checked it , I found Samrat is drilling holes into me.

His eyes turned into pitch black. I was shivering badly thinking what might comes to me and viraj. My mind is not even supporting me. I am getting only negative vibes . Unknowingly my mouth left a word with stuttet " pl....please ".

Soon after uttering the word I heard a painful scream. Viraj is screaming loudly when Samrat punched him on his jaw almost breaking it.

Not able to stand and think anymore I ran towards viraj which turned out to be the most stupid attempt of me. Samrat grabbed the fistful of my hair really hard , I felt like that my hair is removing from my skull. He came near to my face and licked my tears which disgusted me to the core.

" These are mine . You have to shed them only for me Sugar how dare you to waste them for that scumbag ", he growled near my face which made me cry more due to fear and my shivering is not helping me.

" Sa ....samrat.... pl..please ..leave...him ...he ....is ... innocent", I pleaded again atleast hoping the devil will change his mind.

" GUARDS ", HE screamed and two men entered inside the basement. Am worried for viraj more than myself. I know he can't and will never kills me.

" Hold. Her", the guards come to hold me when he further ordered " if I found your filthy hands on her then think yourself hands free ".

The two guards removed their coats and  held me tight on either sides. I started to struggle but my strength is not compatible for these two bulldozers.

" Sugar I will ask you some questions and I want an honest yes or no  from you or else I will chop a finger everytime you think to outsmart me ", Samrat said while taking a cutter from the tool box. Viraj is looking at me with his helpless eyes.

" No matter what I will protect you Viraj ", I thought in mind and nodded looking at the devil.

" Is it your plan to escape from me ", he asked .

I don't know how to answer his eyes. It's viraj who planned everything as he don't want my life to be spoiled. But I don't want to make Samrat to get more mad on Viraj .

" yes ", i answered.

" Tsk.tsk..wrong answer my Sugar ", he said and chopped viraj little finger. Viraj is screaming loudly due to pain. My legs are turning weak and I can't stand this cruelty towards my childhood friend .

" SAMRAT...", I screamed and only got a chuckle in return. Am disgusted of myself for dragging Viraj into this mess after knowing what will the devil will cause due to his sick madness towards me.

I am struggling hard to free myself and to save Viraj.

" I have a phone recorder Sugar", Samrat said laughing like a maniac.

I know that he knows everything and am a fool to think that I can outsmart him.

" Samrat please leave him...Now am ....your wife....he has ...nothing to ....do ....with ......it..... please...samrat....his...mother ....will ....be left....alone ", I pleaded him again which turned out that he is deaf .

Viraj is the only son to his parents. His father died when he is a child. His mother only brought him up with a lot of struggles. She will die if anything happens to him. But me being selfish to escape from the devil accepted his offer.

I should have stopped him but my stupid move brought us both in this terrible situation.

" please Samrat.....i.... can't...take ...anymore ...leave him....i will ...never...ever...tries...to ...leave ....you ", am literally begging him to leave Viraj.

" Hmm Sugar. I promise you after this you will never gets an idea to leave me even in your dreams too ", he threatened me.

Having no option I kneed one of his guards in his shine and getting the chance I pushed the other guard and ran towards the tool box.  Am determined to save Viraj at any cost. I don't want to live in guilt for my whole life.

The guards tried to hold me but am fast enough to snatch a sharp knife.

I showed the knife to the guards to stop them from coming forward. But they didn't stopped and walked forward.

"  Do you think you can hurt them Sugar. How naive of you they are very well trained ", Samrat said again. The smirk is never leaving his face but my next step made his smirk to fade away.

I raised my hand and pointed the knife to my wrist. I don't want to die this early but if my this sacrifice will saves someone's life then I will happily  does it.

" Leave him Samrat  or else I will cut my wrist " , i demanded pressing the sharp edge into my wrist and it just started to bleed.

Looking at the blood Samrat immediately ordered his men to untie viraj.

Soon after his order the guards untied Viraj. Samrat is not looking away from me. I know I have to face more consequences after this but I will do anything if it saves an innocent life.

" You can leave ", Samrat ordered Viraj without looking at him . Viraj looked at me and I just assured him that everything will be fine by nodding.

He stood up and started walking towards the door and a loud bang is echoed in the whole room. It took me some time to realise that Samrat had shot Viraj whose lifeless body is touching the ground.

" VIRAJ", I Screamed and cut my wrist . Blood started to flow from my wrist but my only attention is on Viraj's life less body.

I deserve this . Am responsible for his death. Soon black dots started to form in my vision and before losing it I heard

" Sugar ".
