RUDRANEELI was shocked at Kiara's sudden outburst. I couldn't form the words or figure out what to say. In fact, I couldn't even understand why was I reacting in such a way? Why was I bothered so much about her, about her mother-in-law? What do they mean to me? Nothing. She is just a girl I met two days back, and yes I do accept I did horrible things to her, but that was because I trusted my nephew more than her, and why wouldn't I? I didn't even know her, but why is that guilt eating me up? Why is the fact that I was somehow the reason that she could have been traumatized for eternity haunting me so much? I have killed people, I have done so many horrible things, destroyed families, killed someone's happiness, ended up a few people's hope to survive. I am not a good man but I haven't regretted or felt guilty.And after this all, why am I feeling guilty for doing this to Kiara? Why am I craving for her forgiveness? Why can't I sleep last night, thinking about the pain she is going t
KIARAI reached my home after dealing with the mess named Rudraneel and after that, I went for a shower. As the drops of water poured on my skin, I felt a burning sensation on my entire body. I could feel myself breaking down into bits and pieces slowly.And at that moment, I vented out, I let my tears gush along with the water droplets from the shower. I put my palm on my mouth to avoid making any noises and then I cried. I cried bitterly, what could I do except crying?Mukul, where are you? It's just two months after you went away and my life is a mess. How would I fix it after you? I am unable to do that. It's painful and tormenting. All of this is so hard, so tough that I can't even explain it. What will I do to save Aai's life? How can I get her treated? How will I manage a kidney donor? How will I manage everything when I can't understand what's happening? God, save me, please. I just can't let Aai die at any cost. Her loss would be too much to bear for me. "I just can't," I c
RUDRANEEL"Yes, I have punished him," I answer calmly to Bhaiya's accusation. "Why?" He growled."Because your son tried to rape a girl in our house, more than that, he instigated me to do the same as well," I calmly replied."He did?" I could see bhaiya's shocked reaction."Hmm," I answered."Shit," Bhaiya replied.I noticed bhaiya's expressions. There wasn't a bit of anger or resentment showing up in his face. His expressions depicted fear... Fear of getting caught. I can guarantee that Bhaiya was thinking about whatever Avinash did. He wasn't thinking about the fact that how Avinash dared to touch a girl or harm her like that, he was thinking about the fact that how did Avinash got caught. Well, what must I expect from a family like this?"Rudra... You... You shouldn't have whipped him like that. There could have been other ways of punishing him," Bhaiya spoke."Yeah, the other way, when that girl complained to police and then your beloved son would have landed in jail," I resente
RUDRANEELI enter the dark room of my residence. It's the place where I love to torture people for the crimes they commit. And for me, the gravest crime committed by someone is when he or she lays an eye on my family.I can consider forgiving someone for any other sins, but harming my family, nope.As I walk in, my men greet me and Milan come straight up to me."Boss," he greeted."Did he spit anything?" I asked."No, but I guess we all know who is it," he answered."Yeah, we know," I nodded.Who can it be? Except him. There is just one person in the entire world who doesn't want to harm me but would go to any extent to harm my siblings and their families. I can't set him free for this. I walk towards the centre of the room, where a man was hanging upside down. He was the driver of the truck which followed Akhil bhaiya's car. How can I let him go? There were several injuries on his face and body. He was panting hard due to the pain inflicted upon him. But I couldn't feel peaceful aft
KIARAI just can't figure out how will I manage Aai's treatment. The orphanage told me that it can bear the basic medical expenses of Aai, but such a big operation isn't affordable for them.I don't know what to do and how to do it, all I know is no matter what, I have to save my Aai's life. I can't afford to lose her at any cost, not after months of losing Mukul. "Kiara," My trailing thoughts were broken by Aai's mumble. I looked at her, she was looking at me with great concern."Aai," I muttered and held her hand."Why are you worried?" She asked me, as she knows well what I am thinking and what I want to do."It's nothing, Aai," I tried to shrug it off."Answer me, Kiara. I know when it's nothing and when it's not," she demanded an answer.But what would I tell her? That Aai I can't manage your medical expenses? She would then tell me to let it be, but how can I let it be? Would any sane person let it be and lose her mother instead?"I told you na, it's nothing," I was stabilized
RUDRANEEL"What the hell, Rudra?" Avni shouted at the top of her voice. The bullet hit the wall right beside her and she was extremely scared the moment when I fired the gun.I rolled my eyes and kept the gun on the table, trying to ignore her existence in this room."Have you gone mad? You could have killed me," she shouted again and I mentally scolded myself for pressing the trigger."But you're alive," I responded to her screams in a cold and calm manner."I could have been dead, it just missed me by an inch," she retorted at me."Kaal doesn't miss his targets. So yeah, it didn't miss you by an inch. It wasn't intended to hit you," I made an obvious face."Oh really? I don't think so," she scowled at me."Now will you please get out? Or I have to shoot you this time for real?" I shouted at her. Who's she that I would bear her tantrums?"Fine," she rolled her eyes as she fixed her dress and then stormed out of the room.I nodded my head in frustration as I fixed my shirt. I was ab
AVINASHI knew what I was going to do now, something that would turn the tables and would teach her a lesson."Kiara, I'm sorry. I am really sorry. I shouldn't have said you like that, that was wrong and I regret my mistake."I have made a sad, helpless guy face and acted like I was sorry for whatever I did."You slapped me in front of the class, that was a great move. I applaud you for that and bastards like me should get an immediate response as such. But whatever you did after that. Was it correct?" I questioned her as I looked at her.The entire college's eyes were fixed on me so I had to made sure I am phenomenal at acting and at the same time, I looked at Kiara. She was looking at me with a confused face, not being able to figure out what's happening. Well, she has no idea what's coming up for her. "Yeah, I committed a mistake, and yes it was a grave mistake. But you decided to kill me as a punishment for what I have committed?" I sobbed.The entire college gasped as they heard
RUDRANEEL"What?" I immediately snapped at the principal's words as he informed me of whatever happened in the college. Never in my wildest dreams, I have imagined that Avinash would stoop so low, he is hell-bent on destroying an innocent girl's life."Yes. We had to hand over the girl to police," the principal informed me and I lost my brain."You what?" I scowled at him."Yes. The entire college was against her and protesting for her punishment. I had no other way," he answered."It was a matter of my nephew and that girl, I would have handled it," I shouted at him. What the fuck is he doing?"Sorry to say, but it was your nephew who created a scene on the college," the principal informed me."Oh yeah?" I felt like killing the man."Kaal, I want to say something," the principal spoke with a trembling voice."Spit," I ordered him, although I was in no mood to listen to anyone's bullshit. Avinash has irked me enough."I know that girl and I believe she is innocent. Yes, I had to ma
NANDINI The moment I saw Rudra pointing the gun towards Kiara, I knew I had to stop him. I quickly got up and rushed towards him and before he could pull the trigger, I punched his hand and the gun fell down. "Rudraneel!" Kiara panicked.He looked at me, while I stood there. "What are you doing, Nandini?" He shouted at me."I am stopping you from a lifetime of grief and guilt," I responded."What do you mean?" He asked. I rolled my eyes."Look at you. You're miserable," I spoke, pointing towards him, "and look at her, she has turned maniac in your love," I spoke, looking at her. "Nandini," Kiara growled."Shut up, Kiara." I yelled, "you have spoken a lot, now, let me speak." She looked at me, completely taken aback.I turned towards Rudra."So, you turned her into this monster, and now, you're going to kill her? Is it so easy?" He looked at the floor, like a kid who has been scolded."And then, after you kill her, then what? Will you be able to live with yourself? Will you be
KIARA I was calmly sitting on the chair, looking at two of my victims. Well! I wouldn't say them as victims because they were the culprits, Nandini and Avinash. They were tied and hung upside down from the ceiling of the roof. I bought them at the place that was closest to my heart. My old home, my apartment that was set on fire by these two. I continued to stare at them. Today, no one would stop me from killing them, and that's what I wanted. I had this urge to kill Avinash for ages, and now, I would be able to kill Nandini too. I calmly sat there, waiting for them to regain their consciousness, and in a few minutes, they did. I looked at them and smiled. "Welcome to your hell," I spoke and got up from my chair. It took a moment for them to understand where were they, and when they got the hang of it, they started struggling, to escape from the ropes, but I wasn't letting them do that. "Kiara..." Nandini screamed while struggling."Kiara! Where have you brought us?" Avinash qu
KIARA "Because look at you. You aren't even in your senses," Milan replied. I was startled by his words. I looked at him completely confused. "What... What do you mean?" I questioned."You know very well what do I mean. Look at you. The moment since you got the news, you're behaving like a maniac. You got unconscious, and then you were attacking on the doctor. You have no control over yourself," he continued to school me. I was getting frustrated at his words. I rolled my eyes and gave him a blank look. "If you want me to not go complete maniac. Then take me to him." I gave him an ultimatum.He gave me a look and then gasped."Fine. Come with me," he muttered. I walked after him as he took me towards Rudraneel. As I went closer to him, my heartbeat grew more as I was worried about him.And within a few minutes, I was standing in front of the room where Rudraneel was in. I gulped as I held the door knob and took a deep breath, and then, I walked inside. The moment I got inside,
MILAN "So? What are you thinking?" Avni nudged me as I was sitting quietly in my room. "Nothing, it's just..." I paused while speaking."It's just?" She looked at me."I don't know, I am feeling like something isn't right. Something worse is going to happen soon," I confessed. "What? What are you saying? Nothing is going to happen. Yeah, we're pretty much stressed due to the attacks and police pressure, but all of this is just for a few days," Avni reasoned out."I don't know. I'm feeling like something is off," I replied, thinking about my gut feeling. "Anyways, is boss home?" I asked her."Not yet," she replied. And then, I heard a rapid knock at the door that startled us.We looked at the door, and then we looked at each other, pretty confused all of a sudden. And then, I got up to get the door. The moment I opened the door, I was shocked.Kiara was standing there, crying and panting. She looked miserable and a mess. My heart sank for a moment, thinking about what happened.
A month later KIARA "Okay, so now, what to do next?""Now, cover the vessel with the lid and let it cook for thirty five minute s in medium flame," Avni Di answered. I did the same and took a deep breath and then looked at her. "I hope the end product is good," I muttered, worried."It will be. You're making this with love," she winked. I was cooking lamb biryani, one of Rudraneel's favourite dishes. I had never cooked it before that's why I had asked Avni Di's help. These months have been stressful at work, with frequent attacks, and pressure from the police and the government, it was a bit difficult to keep it up. But still, we managed somehow. Rudraneel had asked me to take a break from all the underground work and just focus on my day job at the laboratory. At first, I was reluctant, but then I considered the police pressure and knowing the fact that I might put my colleagues in the laboratory in danger if I continued both, I agreed to take the break. The moment I took a
AVINASH The only person who could dare to do this was none other than Kiara. She would for sure plan an attack on us. "Are you nuts? Why would Kiara do this?" Nandini questioned, looking at me.I was surprised. Didn't Nandini get the logic behind this? "Who else would have done this Nandu?" I retorted.I had lost a few of my men, and right now, I was furious. "Why Kiara?" She questioned."Because she has all the reasons," I answered."How?" I sighed and then looked at her."Tell me, what has she been doing in these years? She has been snatching our deals?" I questioned."Yes," she answered."So, maybe she got to know about this huge deal with the mafia in Paris. And that's why, out of frustration, she took this step," I reasoned. "No. She can't do this," Nandini rolled her eyes."Why not?" I questioned."Because snatching deals and a fucking attempt to murder are two different things," she shouted at me. "Kiara is insane, Nandu. Don't forget this. She can attempt this," I argue
KIARA I don't know why but it felt like my mind was screaming at me that behind this attack were only the two people, Avinash and Nandini. "No. They can't do this," he muttered.I was surprised at Rudraneel. He was disagreeing with me. "How are you so sure about them?" I questioned."I just am. They... They can't do this," he replied. He looked firm at his decision and that was confusing."Then who else can do that? Who else has knowledge about all of our locations? Who else could dare to attack me and you? Who... Who else would stay at our major locations without a budge... And... And who else would break down all the security barriers? Avinash is your nephew, Rudraneel. He knows it all," I argued. "No he doesn't," he replied.I stared at him in absolute distaste. "How are you so sure?" I questioned him."Because till the time Avinash lived with me, I had never informed him a bit about my security and locations, and after Akhil bhaiya's death, I had changed all of our security
RUDRANEEL The moment Kiara fell on my arms, I panicked. She had been shot and I freaked out. The first thing that I had on my mind was to kill the person who dared to shoot her and that's what I did. I continued to fire bullets at the person who shot her until I saw him falling on the floor, dead and ripped apart. And then, I picked up Kiara in my arms."Kiara, open your eyes," I tapped her cheeks, hoping for her to remain conscious.She slowly opened her eyes but it felt like she was still losing her consciousness."Nothing will happen to you baby, nothing at all," I muttered. My left arm hurt due to the bullet that hit me there, but at that time I couldn't care more. I was worried about her, and I wanted her alright at any cost. "Kia... Please, baby please keep your eyes open," I cried out.I had hugged her tightly as I wasn't ready to let her go at any cost. Within a few minutes, I heard footsteps approaching us. I had tightened my grip on Kiara and stayed still, looking arou
AVINASH "So. Our work here is done," I looked at Nandini as we sat in our car."Yes," she nodded and the driver drove the car. The moment we landed here, we had an immediate meeting with the mafia and we were able to finalise our deal. This was a victory for us because this was the biggest deal that anyone could ever crack and now, I wanted to celebrate. "I want to celebrate now," I happily announced."We will. But before that, I do have a surprise for you," she winked, looking at me."Surprise?" I stared at her."Yep," she nodded. As the driver drove, I got to figure out that we weren't going back to our hotel and at that time, I could see the Eiffel Tower nearing. I felt nervous and excited at the same time. What was in her head? What was she even planning? I thought about it, but then, the driver changed his route and we weren't going towards the entrance of Eiffel Tower anymore. "Where are we going?" I asked."The Eiffel tower," she replied."But we just passed from the entr
