EPISODE 39
Antara understood that she was badly trapped. Damn it!! why didn't she understand that the commissioner could have a connection with Daya Naik! Again she did another stupidity.
When Daya Naik moved towards her with that gun, antara was not at all afraid by her. She had gone through enough on those days. Fear, sadness, agony... each and everything... she had become habituated with everything, She just had the desperation inside. The desperation to send that witch behind the bars who was the cause of their all agony, the cause of her angel's death! She didn't know how she would do that but she was determined that she would never bow down to Daya Naik till her last breath. She knew she might die but she really didn't care anymore.
Daya Naik came at her front and put the gun's barrel on her forehead. Without a single fear in her eyes antara looked towards her nasty grin with fiery eyes. DN was a bit shocked looking at her confident fearless response.
"Too Miss Antara Kaul... Tum mujhe jail bhejna chahte ho?!!" she mocked a laughter. Antara just continued to look at her with hard face.
"Kya tumne suna nahin?! Duniya mein aisa koi jail nahin joo humein kaid kar sake... pura Mumbai shahar mere muthi mein hain!!.. Tumhe kya laga?!! Mujhee pakar na itna assan hain?!!" DN moved around antara and antara just remained silent digesting her words. DN suddenly stopped and moved towards commissioner.
"woo pendrive kahan hain?!!" DN asked. Commissioner quickly handed over the pendrive to her.
"Hmm!!! Dekh ne mein kitni choti si cheez hain...Par meri sare kaam ke khabar ismein hain... Kya tareeka nikala hain singh ne!!" DN said with a quite laugh and looked towards antara.
"Shukriya antara!! Agar tum issey le kar police station nahin lati too yee mere hathon kabhi nahin lagta... too ab mujhe tumhari koi zarurat nahin... tum sab ko marna hoga aaj... issi waqt..." DN said. She gave the PD to a boy and said, "Jaa khol ke dekh ismein hain kya??!!".
"Aaap issey kabhi nahin khol payengey..." antara suddenly said with a smirk. DN was a bit startled.
"kyun?!!" DN asked in curiosity.
"Passwords set kiya huya hain ismein...woo bhi sirf ek nahin kahi sare.. woo passwords jane bagar aap iss PD ko kabhi system mein run nahin kar paoge... aur woo passwords sirf mujhe pata hain..." Antara said.
DN was hell startled to listen to her words. "kya kahe rahi hoo?!! Passwords!!" she said worryingly.
"aap ko pata bhi hain ki passwords hote kya hain.." Antara mocked.
"Chup!!! Muh bandh rakh apna ladki..." DN said loudly, "Jaldi jaldi passwirda baata de warna..." DN again put gun in her forehead.
"maar dalengey aap mujhe.. maariye... main mar gayi too aap ko woh passwords kabhi pata nahin chalegi.. agar aap mere family ko chor de too main aap ko bata sakti hoon.." antara demanded.
"Bahut jyda bolne lagi hain... issey le chalo...iski khabar leni paregi... aur inn sare ke saro ko andar ble jao..." DN said indicating towards aantara's family. DN dragged antara along with her. Everyone from kaul family got worried and looked towards her with fearful eyes. antara looked towards them and blinked in assurance. DN went outside of Dayan Sadan and went inside her car. Her men again tied antara's hands and feet and throw them inside the back seat of car. The car engine started and moved to an unknown way outside the city.
After some moment the car was parked in a very remote place outside the city, a place in highway near the forest where merely peoples visits only the trucks and loaders moved to that way in their high speed barely noticing the surroundings. DN ordered his men to untie antara's feet but not to untie her hand. They did so. They pushed antara inside the bushes and antara had to obey them. After some weary mins they reached at a spot deep inside the forest where a little cottage situated. There was light inside the cottage and also in the lawn. So the darkness was quite light in the whole area. Antara understood that it was there some kind of secret place.
Dn's men pushed her and she fell on the ground. she looked back to DN with same fearless angry eyes.
"Cha lab jaldi se bata de ki uss pendrive ke password kya hain..." DN asked again.
"Kabhi nahin..." antara said greeting her teeth.
"Nahin batayegi?!!" Dn;s voice rose.
"Kabhi nahin!! Marte dam tak nahin..." Antara said stubbornly.
"Acha too mar tu... kyun ki tu meri kissi kaam ki nahin.. tere marne ke baad tere cheetah ke sat iss pendrive ko bhi jala doongi... tab iske andar kaun se sabut hain woo koi nahin jaan payega..." DN said and pointed her gun towards antara. Antara closed her eyes. She understood that it was her end. Still she had no fear in her. Even she didn't want to live taking the burden of raghu's death on her. Antara remembered her family. her house and friends in Kashmir. Lastly, two brown twinkling eyes with so much concern and affection flashed in her mind. Antara smiled automatically. She never understood that why raghu was so concerned about her. But at last she could ask him if they met somewhere afterlife!
BOOM!!!!
The sound of gunfire spread all over in the air. Antara was getting ready to feel the burn in her body but surprisingly she heard a painful scream coming from front. To her utter shock it was none other than but DN's voice. Antara opened her eyes and was shocked to see DN crashed on the ground holding her hand which was bleeding badly. Her gun and the pendrive which was still on her hand was scattered on the grass. So instead of her, DN was shot!!! BUT HOW?!!!
Again another sound of gunfire and antara saw several men coming towards the palce with arms and ammunitions in their hands. their faces were covered with black clothes so that no one could understand that. Antara's eyes widened in fear! Who were they?!! Were they DN's enemy gang or something like that? Before she could understand she saw those men running towards her. Antara closed her eyes in fear. But instead of harming her, they sat on the gorund surrounding her like a protective shield and fired towards DN and her gang members. They also answered with their guns. The shootout started between them and soon DN's men were in big crisis cause those unknown face covered peoples were so skilled than them.
DN standing there covering by those men looked towards the unknown army with wide eyes. "Kaun hain yee log?!! Aise lar rahe hain jaise... Aisa too sirf raghu kar sakta hain.. uski hi itni himmat hain joo humare aamne samne aa ke lare aise.. par woo too mar chukka hain!!!" She thought all stunned.
Antara slowly opened her eyes and she was hell shocked finding herself surrounded by those men. She stood there dumb stuck. Who were they?! And why they were protecting her from Daya Naik?!! The sound of gunfire shook her heavily but not just a single bullet touched her. they didn't let that happen!! Antara's hands fell limply on the ground and suddenly she felt something sharp on the grass. She brought the thing up and saw it was none other than but the pendrive. Thank god, at least she got that. She quickly hold onto that. The men who was just at her front covering her, suddenly said something to the man at his side. He nodded and he moved behind. He looked towards antara's pale face and suddenly he caught her tightly around her waist startling her. Antara was dumb stuck and hell shocked by that sudden behavior. She couldn't see his face as it was covered. Before she could understand anything, he lifted her on his strong shoulder and got out of the firing range so swiftly in a flash, without even getting into DM and her men's eyes. His companion continued to cover them staying back.
Antara was shocked and numb by all sudden incidents. But as the the stranger moved her outside of the place she got back her senses. Who the hell was that guy?!! Where was he taking her?!!
"hey!! Let me down..where are you taking me?!!" Antara said loudly. the man didn't answered anything just tightened his grio around her waist. His firm casual touch send shock wave on her nerves.
"Hey answer me... kaun ho tum.. aur kahan le jaa rahe hoo mujhe... niche utaroo mujhe.. nahin jana mujhe tumhare sath.." Antara said loudly and stroke on his back. He didn't seemed bothered and just chuckled. that sound of chuckle really send shiver on her spine. It was same!! Just like him!!
"chorro!!,, chorro mujhe!! I said leave me... choro..." antara wiggled badly on his hold. They were further from the place and out of their reach. The stranger came up on the high road which was washed by silvery moonlight of pre full moon. He got down antara from his shoulder and antara flinched away from him looking towards him with fearful and worried eyes. She observed the stranger thoroughly. His tall masculine feature and brown military printed jacket was clearly visible in moonlight. But his face was covered with that black cloth.
Antaara suddenly gasped. It was just the same... just like him.. each and every feature!! But how was that possible?!! She knew he was dead. Then how?!!
The stranger stood there motionless. Antara moved closer to him and slowly removed the black cover from his face, the stranger didn't even resisted.
In silvery moonlight, two pairs of most intense, deep, tender, affectionate and love filled brown eyes looked towards her and she was rooted to the spot at that instant. She felt like her all limbs got frozen at that moment.
What just she saw?!!! Who was standing in front of her?!! was he really?!! Was it really him?!! But he was dead!! She saw his body with own eyes. Then who was standing at her front?!! Same face, same posture, same intense eyes!! Was he really there?!! The sudden shock almost left her numb with frozen emotions. She wanted to cry getting after getting his glance after so long. But she was afraid to cry. The tears would be blurred her eyes and again she would be vanished. Might be he was not there!! It was just his mere illusion. Or she was really dead.
Raghu didn't know how to react at that moment. Several emotions inter coursing on his nerves, his mind. He couldn't get the glimpse of those warm hazels for almost damn one week. How could he express that how much that pained, how could he say that he died several moments without her and at last how much he was overjoyeded and content after meeting her. How could he express his agony, his pain, his joy, his merriness everything was just casted by those warm hazels. He couldn't say!! It was impossible for him to say that how much he craved for her all those days, how much he feel for her, how much he loved her!! he just could made her listen his pounding heart which was running at tremendous speed! Looking at her frozen hazels he lifted her hands and cupped her face.
"Miss Kaul!!!..." again that deep soothing voice roamed in her ear. She didn't know after how long. It was just like the raindrop in her dried heart. Her heart fluttered in extreme joy by that voice. a lone tears escaped from her eyes. She touched her hand which was attached to her chicks without shifting her gaze from his eyes.
"Tum maazak toh nahin kar rahe hoo naaa..." she asked with chocked voice, making him a bit startled. "tum sach mein ho naa... mujhe sapna too nahin dikha rahe hoo?!... kahin main ankh bandh karoongi aur tum gayab too nahin ho jaoge naa..." She asked eagerly. The pain flashed in her eyes made a painful ache in his heart. He was doomed by that intense pain. He was feeling like useless to cause her that tears. He claimed to love her but he couldn't even keep away those tears from her eyes. How could he forgive himself.
