Chapter 4:Suddenly Sakshi felt that Arjun pushed her off. She stared at him. But he was too fast to get up and leave the place.
On one hand Sakshi decided to follow him as he was not in the mental state to stay alone, and on top of that he had injured himself. But she was not surprised by his reaction as she knew she had indeed crossed her limit, by loosing her control.
Arjun reached a house and entering into the room collapsed to his knees and fell back again crying. The control he had over his emotions had broken today.
The pain which was bottled up for so long had found it's outlet and there was no holding back. He felt himself tearing apart, part by part and though he wanted to constrain himself he couldn't.
The servant of that house a trusted and loyal man who was known as 'Kaka' had seen Arjun's pathetic condition. And without wasting a moment he called someone.
The person received the call and as soon as he came to know about the situation rushed to the house in no time.
That man "kaka, what happened? Where's Arjun? What happened to him why did you call me so urgently?" He was frantic thinking about the condition of the boy.
"I don't know Sir. He returned today, after so much time and his condition was not good. He was broken. Much beyond repair. Please Sir go and mend him before he looses himself."
That man understood what might have happened. He went to Arjun's room.
There in the room Arjun was lying on the floor. Tears were still flowing down his face. Bit his eyes were closed so it appeared that he was asleep or he didn't have any more energy to even look up. His bleeding hand had formed a small pool which worried the one standing at the doorstep.
That man rushed to Arjun and put his head on his lap. He lovingly caressed his hair and wiped of the tears. He was then dressing his hand. After finishing he kissed his forehead.
But Arjun's peace was not for long he woke up suddenly with a jerk. His nightmares never ceased and now he had left hope too.
Finding the person from whom he get some solace, in front of him he hugged him tightly and let out his miseries. "Baba."
His father held him till he was a bit okay.
After gaining a bit composure he said "I can't do this anymore, baba. I'm tired. I shouldn't have been alive. If I had been dead nothing would have happened and everything would have been fine. I'm sorry baba, I don't deserve to live."
Now Suryakant Rawte was furious. He slapped Arjun hard across the face to knock some sense in him. "Don't you dare to repeat these things again. You are my son and you have every right to live. And don't forget your vows you can't break them. You have to fight, fight for your people, fight against evil to give justice to them, to me to you. Please Arjun you can't give up."
That seemed to work. Arjun was distracted a while ago. But the moment he was reminded of his mission he was again back. He knew why or how he was here and what he had to do. He needed to gain justice for his family, his baba, his TANI, and for himself. It was true he can't give up until the evil men are punished for their wrong deeds.
"Thank you baba. I love you. Every time I tend to loose, you pull me up and show me the way. And Sorry."
He again kissed his forehead and said "I love you too beta. And I know it's very difficult for you. To bear with Sameer's taunts daily. To stay so close to Sakshi and still not able to confide to her. But you have to do it. You know the mission and it's dangers, you can't back off now. And I'm always there for you. So what's the next plan."
"Now it's time to end everything. It's been long we need to finish it for and once and for all. There's a lot at stake and I will not loose this time."
Suryakant and Arjun discussed about their next move and spent some father son moments.
Next morning everyone had arrived in office except Sakshi and Arjun. Sameer was now very tensed and worried about Arjun. There was no sign of him and no one could find him. All were worried and the blood droplets added on to their tension.
Sakshi entered at that point. Sameer was the first one to question her as she was too lost to even notice where she was.
She was still disturbed about last night's events. Thinking about that vulnerable Arjun and why did she allow him to go made her feel guilty. And thinking about that kiss, her loss of self control which gave way to lust was unpardonable. She just wished that Arjun comes so that she can sort out the problems.
Sameer: Sakshi did you find Arjun?
Sakshi: yes and no.
Sameer: means?
Sakshi: I did find Arjun last night in the beech. He was too hurt to even realize my presence and respond. But something happened, something snapped and he just left the place. I don't know where he is now?
Sameer was again going to question her but he saw Arjun entering. His hand had bandages which he assumed was the source of blood droplets. But otherwise he looked fine. Which surprised both Sakshi and Sameer That how could he become so normal after yesterdays incidents.
Sameer went to him and hugged him. Arjun was shocked by this gesture but didn't decline the hug may be he needed it.
Sameer held him for sometime and Arjun didn't budge. They parted "Where were you? We were so worried do you even realize..." He couldn't continue as Arjun interrupted him asking him about case.
He knew he was changing the topic but couldn't do anything.
