FLASHBACK"Tell me, Milan. Do you love Kiara?"Milan was shocked at Rudra's question and that's why he looked at his boss in disbelief."No, I don't," he responded, after taking a deep breath."You don't?" Rudra was shocked at Milan's answer now."No!" Milan sighed."Then you're spending time with her? You care about her? What's all that?" Rudra asked.He couldn't comprehend Milan's intentions and that's why he was out of words. All he had in his mind, was just questions."Because I consider her as my friend. And friendship is a pure relation. People do care about each other, spend time with each other, make memories with each other to cherish in future when they are friends. So I and Kiara, we are doing the same," Milan replied with a smile while Rudra kept on looking at him."And boss, I can't love Kiara," Milan continued."She is still in love with Mukul and trust me, I can't spoil their pure love if I include my feelings in it. The love Mukul and Kiara shared, it's something so ra
NANDINIWhat kinda dumb fool is this? Like so weak? Damn! I didn't think about it. Just a crack in hand and he is unconscious. I chuckled while somehow managing to make him lie down on the back seat of the car. After that, I sat in the driver seat and looked at him. Damn! His face reflects of the devil, but is he really the devil or a stupid fool? I couldn't help but laugh looking at him. I took out my phone and made a call."Listen, you," I uttered as soon as the call was picked."Yes ma'am?" My man replied."Do one thing. Prepare for the grand welcome. I got fresh meat this time," I ordered him and hung up the call."Oh! Dear fresh meat! You're going to enjoy like someone who is scared of heights and speed is riding a roller coaster today. You're going to love it," I chuckled as I turned on the ignition and drove the car.KIARAI was sitting beside the mandap the moment Rudraneel arrived there with Milan. I looked at both of them, Milan was smiling and accompanying Rudraneel and
NANDINII drove my car and reached my destination. It was somewhat in the outskirts of the city but near the seaside, as the sound of waves hitting the shore were clearly audible.I parked my car in front of the place which I consider it to be my base. It's an old abandoned garage that was used to keep ship cargo earlier. As I pulled the break, I honked once, for my men to come out and looked at the unconscious guy on the back seat of my car and smirked."This is going to be fun," I smirked and then I got out of the car.As I got out, I looked at four of my men who were already here, waiting for me. "Is everything ready?" I asked."Yes," one of them answered and I nodded."Good. Do one thing, bring him out of the car and take him inside," I ordered and walked inside the garage.While two of my men held the unconscious guy and dragged him, following me.As we got in, one of the other two men brought a chair, where they made the guy sit and tied him with ropes while I kept on enjoying
RUDRANEEL"AVINASHHH."I shouted at the top of my lungs the moment I saw Nandini chopping away Avinash's finger.His little finger was separated from his palm and fell onto the ground.And at that moment, I lost it. I lost my sanity and everything else as I pulled out my gun from my pocket and pointed it straight to Nandini."Oh! Come on," she chuckled and the next moment, I witnessed four men pointed their guns at me.While Nandini pulled out her gun and pointed it at Avinash's skull."What did you think Mr Ruthless Gangster. I brought your beloved nephew without any preparation?" She chuckled and I angrily glared at her."Remember one thing. A single scratch on me or my men, and I am going to feed six out of six bullets on this gun to your nephew darling's skull, that would pass through his oesophagus towards his stomach, harming his kidney and then end up exiting from you know where," she shouted and I was dumbfounded.How the hell can she say so many things that too without even f
KIARAI was in the hall of Rudraneel's house. Sitting on the sofa, and waiting for him to arrive so that he could say whatever he had to. I had to wait for him because as much I have observed this house, there wasn't any elder present here.It was past midnight, and he hadn't arrived till now. Where would have he went? Did he forget that tomorrow is Aai's transplant? Is he really irresponsible as such?I wondered so many things, and that's when my eyes fell on Rudraneel, who was entering the house with Avinash. Yeah, how can I forget the fact? I have to face Avinash every now and then because we will live under the same roof. But the moment I saw him, I was shocked.Avinash had a plaster on his hand which indicated that his hand was broken and then, I noticed his fingers, on the other hand, his little finger was missing. What did happen to him?"What's this wretch doing here?"Before I could say or act anything, Avinash's spiteful words hit my ears. And I was surprised by the amount o
KIARA"Kiara,"I heard his roar and before I could flinch or even react, he held my neck and tried to choke me.That moment, I felt like I was about to die, he would kill me. And I tried to struggle to escape from his grasp but I couldn't and at last, I closed my eyes.My entire life flashed in front of me at that moment, it would have been merely ten seconds, and in those ten seconds, I saw only one man, Mukul. And at that time, living felt pointless to me. What if I die, and finally reunite with Mukul? Wouldn't that be perfect?But before that, he left my neck and I was snapped back into reality. I started coughing due to the pressure in my neck that didn't let me breathe earlier. I kept on coughing for a while, and that's when Rudraneel was about to offer me a glass of water.Oh nice! I held the glass of water and pushed him away along with it.He looked at me, utterly surprised. What did he except? I would react calmly or be sorry for what I said?"Why did you stop? You should ha
AVINASHI stared at my bed and while being completely shocked. I couldn't even understand how to react to this. The bedsheet, and most probably the mattress would be wet, and I can't ask anyone to clean it. They would know about my stunt and it would be embarrassing.I looked around, thinking about what to do. I was getting frustrated, I couldn't even wash the bed sheet by myself because my broken hand and my chopped off finger wouldn't let me do that. I sat on the couch, frustrated. "Aahhh! My life is miserable," I scoffed and then I looked at my hand.My hand looked terrible and I couldn't help but cry looking at it. The four fingers were all okay, perfectly fit while the fifth one wasn't there. There was just a bandage so that the wound recovers."My finger..." I cried out, holding my hand.I hate my life. I hate that bitch Kiara and I hate... No no... I am scared of Nandini. She is a zombie who is behind me and wants to eat me up. This isn't fair."Mommy... Please, please help..
AVINASH"What Nandini? Avinash, I am your mom."I was shocked when I heard that. My mom? How can that be possible? When I can hear the voice of that girl, I can see her. This isn't possible.I looked at her again. She was giving out an evil smirk. I rubbed my eyes rapidly and then looked towards her again, and this time I was shocked.It wasn't Nandini. It was my mom. How the hell am I hallucinating that girl even in my house? She can't come here. It's impossible for her to come here. Am I going mad? Why is she everywhere? "Mom!" I gasped.My mother looked worried and anxious. She was looking miserable. How would she not? Any mother would feel terrible if she sees her son like this. It's natural."Avi!" She sighed my name and rushed towards me. And in no time, I was in my mother's arms. She had hugged me tightly and was weeping. She sounded much more in pain than I was in.And at that time, I couldn't stop my tears as well. I sobbed in my mother's arms."Maa! Save me from that woman
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
