RUDRANEELI was shocked when I heard that. I mean, yes I did expect her to be something, but a serial killer wasn't something I had ever expected and now, I had to think twice before doing something."Milan. I think you know what you have to do next," I spoke on the call."Yes, boss," Milan agreed."Good," I replied and hung up the call.After that, I turned to Kiara who was sleeping peacefully. She looked innocent and that's why a slight smile was carved on my lips. But then, I walked towards the couch and lied down there.Next morning, I woke up, with Milan's text. It was 6:00 am. I immediately walked towards the washroom to have a shower. After few minutes, as I got out of the shower, I saw Kiara had woken up and she was looking at me.I walked towards her."Good Morning," I mumbled in a soft tone."Hmm," she slightly nodded.She looked worried and stressed out. I thought of being there for her, but considering the girl that she is, I think it would be the best, if I left her alo
NANDINI"Why? Do I look like Avinash's mother?"I taunted Kaal. What does he think of me? Am I a ringmaster? Or his lovely nephew is any sort of animal?Bdw yeah, he is an animal, but I am not an animal trainer."Nandini," he growled, shooting his deadly glares at me while I stood there, completely unaffected."Do you know, Kaal? That the murders I had committed in this one year. Why have I done that?" I asked him, straight peering into his eyes.With my question, he smirked. Damn, is this oldie intimidated by me? If not, then is he in love with my style? Because, I can see no other way, due to which he would behave sarcastically."Do you really think I wouldn't know?" he responded."Then, please. Do elaborate, the intentions of my murder. I am dying to hear that," I pouted as I roamed around him.He should know, there is only one Nandu and no one should dare to pretend to be like me. "All of the victims that you have killed belonged to Mumbai and they all of them were alleged to rap
KIARAYes, I slapped him hard. I was furious at him, what does he even think of me? Am I a machine? Or my feelings, my grief is just a joke? If he thinks that, then well, no, it's not and I must prove it to him that.He looked at me while rubbing his cheek."She was my mother, Rudraneel. My mother. Ever since I was a kid in that orphanage, she was the one who took care of me, gave me the love of my parents and the entire world. She meant the world to me. And it's been two days that I lost her. Just two days, and what do you think? I would go around, dance, be happy and act as nothing happened? No. I wouldn't, I lost my god damn mother," I screamed at him while he blankly glared at me.I knew he must have been feeling really angry after my actions. But I don't care, because he deserves that. "And about Mukul. I knew him since I was three, I fell in love with him when I was fifteen and I married him when I was eighteen. You know that fairy tale love, the soulmates kind of love, where y
NANDINIThis guy is seriously dumb. How does he not know who is Kaal? And he is plotting to destroy him? What the fcuk? Am I doing something wrong by accepting Kaal's order?"How do you know?" He asked. I looked at him, and I was seriously confused. This jerk had a hint of innocence in him. I mean how? How the heck can he be innocent?Well, he can't. Either he is too smart and acts like he has innocence displaying on his face, or he is too dumb to even understand whatever the shit he is doing is unacceptable."Well, I do know a couple of things more than you about your so-called happy family," I sighed and replied in my usual sarcastic tone.While he kept staring at me like I am some kind of messiah."So, I do know, you want to destroy Kaal," I answered, looking blankly at his eyes.And the next moment, he moved his eyes away from me and looked in a different direction. I wanted to know the motive behind his move or what he says, that's why I kept on looking at him."Well, to be hone
RUDRANEELI entered into Kiara's room and saw her staring out from the window towards the sky. I don't know why, but seeing her like that made me feel nervous. But I had to confess to her about her Aai's death. She deserves to know everything.I walked towards her."Kiara," I muttered.She turned towards me and saw me."Yeah?" She asked.I don't know why, but I felt nervous, speaking this to her. "No, nothing," I mumbled and turned around to leave the room."Rudraneel," she called my name in a soft tone."Yeah?" I turned around."Speak up, what happened?" She asked."Actually, I have to confess something," I spoke, walking towards her."What?" She asked."I am sorry," I muttered.And then, she stared at me."I am sorry for everything I did to you. From kidnapping you to forcefully marrying you. I am sorry for everything. It was just I love you, and you couldn't accept me and I couldn't leave you, that's why I behaved such recklessly," I confessed."How can I accept your sorry when yo
AVINASHI snapped at my mother as it was totally unbelievable for me that she had worked under a gangster named Saheb who is said to be chachu's biggest rival. I couldn't even comprehend how to react to this newly acquired knowledge. "Yeah," she responded, putting a rest to all my speculations."That means you did mafia work as well?" I asked her straight. I needed to know what my mom did in her past."Well no. I didn't involve myself in any of the gangster stuff like violence, killing or other dangerous and illegal work. These gangsters do other jobs to convert their black money into white, I used to manage that," she responded, calming the curiosity in me."I did know whatever Saheb did, but I stayed far from it," she spoke further."But why did you involve yourself in such a risky job?" I asked her.I had so many questions in my mind now and I had to gather my answers."Lust for money. I lusted money and I wanted to be rich, but I didn't want to involve myself in too risky situat
KIARAAfter his sudden confession, all I could do was stare at him blankly. I felt like my heart was pounding rapidly. He considers me as his own, but do I? Will I able be to consider him as my own?"Rudraneel," I muttered his name. He looked at me with a hopeful smile."Answer me, Kiara, don't you consider me as my own?" She asked.I looked at him at first and then looked around. What will I answer him? How do I answer him? I started to feel nervous about all of this, the conversation that we shared right now and everything else.And even though, I am nervous, I should confess the fact that for the first time, I didn't feel uncomfortable while talking to him, neither he made me angry. It was a sweet and good conversation between us.RUDRANEELI could see the confusion and nervousness in her expressions when I asked her the question. Well, this was the first time, when we talked calmly, without any arguments.And this was the first time, when I opened up to her, showed her my vulner
MILANI walked towards Kiara's room, considering boss's suggestion to be with her. She needed a friend and I had to be available for her, but I was just too busy and I was guilty of that.I stood in front of her room and then knocked on the door. "Come in," her voice echoed from the room."Yeah," I nodded and then slowly opened the door and got in.The moment I entered the room, I saw her making notes, while her textbooks and other assignments were spread on the bed and she looked utterly confused. I smiled looking at her like that."Kiara," I called her and she looked at me."Milan," she got excited after seeing me and left her notebook aside and rushed to me.And then, she hugged me, tightly.After a friendly hug, she looked at me and I smiled."Where were you?" She questioned, looking at me with a disappointed look."I was just busy," I pouted and she rolled her eyes."So, tell me, how are you?" I asked her with a smile."Well, okayish I guess. But at first, I want to get done wit
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
