Chapter one
~{!.~}Who is Rahul?, could it be his husband, her child, whoever it is , it was not good news~{!/~} Angad thought, as he jogged in the park at early morning. He fell in love with her at ~{!.~}first sight~{!/~}! People would laugh at him and make of him especially with Angad, who would expect Angad to fall in love when he himself is play boy in front of everyone where as Angad just shows it to everyone that he too is a guy and specially not gay when some soldier were thinking of him. Angad decided to prove them to flirt with girls in front and spend time in club.~{!/~} Stupid waste of time~{!/~} he thought. To everyone, Angad can never fall in love because he never treated them seriously but her, ~{!.~}Kripa~{!/~} he thought was special. He sighed, as he stopped and sat in bench and drank the water from his bottle. On the other hand Rahul can Kripa~{!/~}s sibling, yes he thought, that could be. There was no way Rahul could be her son or her husband, she is way too young besides she looked like in her twenties.
~{!.~}Only if I get to see her again, only~{!-~}. Then he~{!/~}ll have her~{!/~} he thought, ~{!.~}just one chance~{!/~}
**
~{!.~}Where is Kripa?~{!/~} a woman called to one of the maids.
The woman sat comfortably on sofa reading a magazine.
~{!.~}Ma~{!/~}am, she is sleeping?~{!/~}
The woman suddenly looked up from her magazine and glared at the maid but then suddenly changes her expression into calm. ~{!.~}Have you tried waking up her?~{!/~}
~{!.~}No Ma~{!/~}am, she looked tired and ill from yesterday~{!/~}s work, so I let her go.~{!/~} The maid replied in nervous.
~{!.~}What?~{!/~} the woman yelled at her. The maid was frightened and nervous. The lady expression changed into calm as a thought occurred to her. She smiled mischievously.
~{!.~}You may go now~{!/~}
The lady walked up stairs to the third floor and stopped at one door. She had a thick wooden stick in her hand. She slowly opened the door and tiptoed inside. She stopped beside the bed, where a person was laying underneath the duvet. She raised the stick and hit the lady where she predicted was her stomach, hardly.
~{!.~}Ooow~{!/~} the other person cried.
The lady pulls away the blanket and was about to hit the stick again, when suddenly the person stood on her feet. The silent tears rolled from her, as she hugged her stomach.
~{!.~}I am sorry~{!/~} the person wept.
~{!.~}You should be~{!/~} the lady said sternly. She is Nitya.
Nitya raised the stick and hit her again on her arms then on her back. The other screamed in pain.
~{!.~}What are you standing here for? Go and wash all the dishes and clothes. I want everything cleaned with in few minutes, now go~{!/~} she screamed at her.
The other person, frightened quickly turned to go to the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and cried. She looked at her shoulder, there were red bruises all over, she looked at her stomach, and there were bruises there as well. This was her life, kripa~{!/~}s life. Why was she born to suffer all the pain, she hadn~{!/~}t done anything wrong. She is only here because of Rahul. This was her life, doing all work and wake up with pain in the morning when you are ill.
She quickly changed into full sleeves chooridar to hide her bruises. And she left for downstairs to suffer her daily life tortes.
~{!.~}Where is Eijaz?~{!/~}
~{!.~}He left yesterday for some important work~{!/~} she replied
~{!.~}For howl long?~{!/~}
~{!.~}For two days~{!/~}
Nitya smiled at herself.
~{!.~}Mooooooom~{!/~} a young voice called at her. Kripa looked towards the door; saw a boy about the age of seven standing at the door, smiling at her. Suddenly all her pain went vanished away as she saw the boy. A big smile spread on her face. She bent down on her knees and opens her arms. The boy came running to her and hugs her. Kripa slowly puts her around the little boys and hugs him back tightly. She cups his tiny face on her palms and kisses him everywhere.
~{!.~}Mom~{!-~} why are your crying?~{!/~}
Kripa smiled at her son. It gave her the reason to live today; she was everything because of him, Rahul. Her own son, her blood.
~{!.~}I am not crying~{!/~} she replied wiping her own tears.
~{!.~}You can~{!/~}t lie to me mom. I know everything. Rahul replied in his sweet child voice, ~{!.~}You promised me not to cry~{!/~}
~{!.~}See I am not crying. O.k. Tell me how did you come here?~{!/~}
~{!.~}Surprise!~{!/~}
~{!.~}It is indeed~{!/~} she said laughing.
**
Angad sat in the conference room thinking about her.
~{!.~}Angad~{!/~}
No reply.
~{!.~}Who is she? Why would she want to write a letter and throw is a sea. This is different, very. Furthermore what did she say about her life is hell? Suddenly his expressions changes into angry, who would want to hurt an innocent girl like, and she is not a girl. She is an angel, only his angel. The only angel who has a right on him, it is only her.
~{!.~}ANGAD~{!/~}
He suddenly came back to his senses looked embarrassed when most of the people were looking at him. He quickly stood up.
~{!.~}Sir~{!/~} he saluted to Kartik.
~{!.~}Is everything in action for today?~{!/~}
~{!.~}Yes~{!/~}
~{!.~}Knock Knock
~{!.~}Come in~{!/~}
In came another man. ~{!.~}Sir~{!/~} he saluted
~{!.~}What is the news?~{!/~}
~{!.~}Sir, we just got to know that Eijaz is out of town~{!/~}
~{!.~}What?
~{!.~}Yes.~{!/~}
~{!.~}You can go?~{!/~}
Angad looked thought full but then he spoke, ~{!.~}the Plan is still in action. Don~{!/~}t worry; we just got to know that he has w weakness that is his own son~{!/~}
~{!.~}So~{!-~}?~{!/~} Kartik continued
~{!.~}It~{!/~}s easy, we will kidnap their son. Ejaz would come looking for us because he would demand his son. We will have him and return his son back. Sir, as soon he got the new about his son, he would come running back for his son. He won~{!/~}t want the police involved with him unless he bribed then but then again we have more power over him in ways. His, son is his weaknesses.~{!/~}
~{!.~}How Old is his son?~{!/~} Kartik enquired
~{!.~}According sources, he~{!/~}s about seven or six.~{!/~}
~{!.~}That~{!/~}s too young!~{!/~}
Angad was surprised to see Kartik reacting emotional. He guessed he is sensitive when it comes to young children. Angad smiled.
~{!.~}Don~{!/~}t worry sir, we will kidnap him in front of their eyes but we won~{!/~}t harm him. We will drop him in special child care play house, where he will get all the fun.
~{!.~}Good~{!/~}

Kripa gave all her attention to Rahul, she kept near eye to Rahul so that he won~{!/~}t go to Nitya. Further more she does not want to Rahul to know any of her pains. He is only a kid.
**
At night.
Kripa caressed Rahul~{!/~}s hair as she watch him sleep. No matter how much she has suffered all pains, they would go instantly away. Rahul the son of Kripa and Ejaz, Rahul was not a normal born; he was made as a result of rape. Why should she hate Rahul for this, it~{!/~}s not his fault. She loved him, no matter how he was made. She was also happy even Ejaz accepted him as his own son. Kripa was afraid that he would want her to have abortion but it turned the other way out.
Kripa admitted Rahul in boarding school because she does not want Rahul to be aware of all the pains. Eventually Ejaz also agreed for the sake of his own son. Kripa was happy that Ejaz would choose his son over his mother. She knew deep down he was a good man, it was all because of his mother. Ejaz was not evil when they got to know each other. It all turned horrible after her step into the house. She saw him crying, fighting with his own emotions. She does not blame him, because she knows the real Ejaz. It~{!/~}s all because of his mother.
**
Angad and his soldier surrounded the Ejaz house. They all had the weapons ready; the soldier put the ladder that takes up to Rahul. Angad started to climb up in the ladder slowly and stayed below the window. His heart was nervous, he was trembling. ~{!.~}Why am I so shaky today~{!/~} he thought, ~{!.~}I am not always like that, it~{!/~}s only for good? Why does not it sound right?~{!/~} he thought. He felt her sense near her. ~{!.~}Not know~{!/~} he thought! ~{!.~}It~{!/~}s a mission~{!/~} he reminded himself.
Kripa got up and kissed him on the cheeks and went for the bathroom.
Angad knocked the windows out with the gun, creating a loud sound and jumped in inside. He saw the boy awake, with eyes. He is so cute he thought, at that moment he felt disgusted of himself. Every step towards him felt heavy for him. His eyes reminded him of someone. He quickly picked up the boy and headed for the window.
Kripa came out quickly out of the bathroom, saw Rahul in stranger~{!/~}s arm, crying and calling out for her, ~{!.~}mamma.. .~{!/~} Kripa cried, ~{!.~}Rahul~{!/~} and ran for him but it was too late, the man had already jumped out of the window. Kripa ran to the window, Rahul~{!-~}, please help someone~{!/~} she cried. With out doing anything, stepped on the glasses that were pieces from broken window, she was about to jump from window when some body grabbed her hair pushed to the ground. It was Nitya, ~{!.~}Let him go, he was a pain in ass~{!/~}
~{!.~}Rahul~{!/~} Kripa cried
She fainted. Nitya looked at her and smiled. She hit fainted Kripa all on her body, letting her anger out on her. After few minutes Kripa lay in the floor, lying in the pool of blood.
**
As Angad ran towards his van carrying a boy, his heart shattered into million pieces because he broke someone~{!/~}s heart. ~{!.~}What is happening to me~{!/~} he thought. The voice he heard emphases so pain that he felt a knife stabbing his heart. May be she was his mother; he reasoned. He has met a single mother who loved his son that much. He felt like going back and gives them their son back. The voice kept ringing in his ears, causing his heart ache.
Coming up: Angad and Kripa meet. 😃
love
Sanya 😃
