-GULAAL- (chap 9@pg14) - Page 10

The danger is still on, looking forward to more thrill and drama.

Superb update.

Great presentation.

Update next part soon.

Very interesting and very well penned down.

RanEra are safe for the time being, may be Veer will do something this time. Meera has started trusting Rangeela, nice development.

Don't mind ...imagined Radhinka as Meera 😆 She looks good with Rangeela and Radhika has all traits of Meera.

Unreswa...🤣🤣

Chapter 9

Rangeela dragged my hand and lead me to a darker place of the forest. We stood behind a huge tree trunk as the sound of footstep still followed us. Holding my breath I peeped out from the shade of trunk towards the forest trails which was slightly enlightened by the little moonlight.

Soon we find 6 to 7 people reaching there. There features were partially revealed in moonlight.

"Yahin se too awaz aa rahi thi...Rangeela aur woo larki yahin ayein hongey.. Their voice hit my ear and we were more than sure that they were there to find us.

"Gaufar bhai!!... Humari baat mano too bhag chalte hain...Dekha nahin Rangeela bhaiya se bhir ke humare unn admion ka kya halat hoo gaya hain!! someone said from them..

"Arey khali hath gaye too malik jaan se maar dengey.. kuch bhi hoo... Unhe dhundna too parega..

As they were busy in talking to each other I heard a hissing sound from my side.

"Suno!!... Yahn pe khare rahena aur kuch bhi hoo jajeyien... Mooh bandh rakhna!! he said in low voice.

"Matlab?!! I asked in confused voice.

"Shhh!!... he hissed again and pressed my mouth startling me. "Awaz niche rakho.. unko pata chal jayega!!

My head boiled and I pushed away his hand from my mouth, "yee baat tum mere mooh mein hath rakhe bina bhi kahe sakte hoo!! I said in quite angry voice.

"Maaf kardo meri ma!!... he seemed super annoyed, "Abb yahin pe chup chap khare rahena... samjhe?!! he said and he moved.

"Kahan jaa rahe hoo?!! I asked in daze.

"Kyun dar lag raha hain yahan akele khare hone mein?! his voice seemed a bit mocking.

"Bilkul nahin!!... Jahan jana hain jao!! I said in angry voice.

"Good!! there was slight naughtiness in his voice and I felt his grip in my shoulder, "main jaldi aa jaunga!!

Somehow his hold didn't make me angry that time. It had some warmth and assurance, and I was a bit startled by the concern in his voice. Soon he got vanished inside the dark forest leaving me alone there. I let out a little sigh and looked around. I had to admit that somehow it felt a little bit uncanny like, standing all alone in the darkness under a tree shade in a dense forest where some goons were chasing you away. I hold myself and looked towards those goon who were still talking to each other and looking everywhere in confusion.

Suddenly a sound of strong whistle broke the silence of night almost made me jump on my feet. I somehow stopped myself from screaming. I looked towards those goon who were also baffled by the sound.

"Gaufar bhai lagta hain uss taraf se awaz ayi!! one of them told directing towards the darkness.
"Chalo dekhte hain!! Their leader ordered and all of them moved to search for the sound. Wel I knew the sound of whistle very well. I knew that it's hard to catch an expert like Rangeela still I stood their worried. From the place I could clearly watch their movement but they couldn't see me. As they moved towards the side to search for the sound, another whistling sound from other direction startled them and me as well. They changed their course heading towards new destination but sooner another whistling sound came from other side and soon the whole forest was filled up with sound of whistling coming from so many direction confusing them all.

I was standing on my place all frozen. I couldn't see or detect where Rangeela was but I could feel that he was somehow nearby and he was doing all those whistling drama to confuse them. I didn't know how he was doing that still I could feel chill in my nerves understanding that he was the undefeatable man out there and I was actually going to challenge him some days ago.

"Arey kaun hain!!... the leader of those goons' screamed in frustration and suddenly fired towards a random direction. The gun shot broke the silence of night and some night bird's flew away making buzz of their's fathers. There was silence all around after the gun sound faded. I was standing there holding my breath as a fear cribbed in mind. The sound of whistle couldn't be heard anymore and I couldn't even detect if Rangeela was actually shot by the bullet.

"Gaufar bhai... lagta hain murga lurak gaya!! I heard one of their sound and my heart shank in utter fear and depression. There was someone in my head still telling me that it couldn't be. Rangeela couldn't be dead so easily. I had seen him talking impossible risks and coming out of it like a winner. He couldn't be shot dead so easily.

My confusion soon ended as suddenly a dark figure jumped on the goon leader from the nearby tree and at the very next moment I sensed his heart wrenching scream and he fell on the ground like chopped tree. His other companion stood in shock as the incident barely took a second. Two of them tried to jump upon the attacker but soon they were found flying on the air and then falling on the ground.

At some next moment I just witnessed something impossible in front of my eyes. The attacker whose fig was partially revealed in the moonlight was just knocking away those men's like bunch of sacks. Even though they had guns, wepons, they could barely use them against him. And I knew it's useless. He was enough with his bare hands on them. It took hardly some mins, and I found all of them lying on the ground unconscious or might be dead and Rangeela was standing alone in the middle. The moon light was partially revealing his face which was containing a victorious smirk as always as he looked upon those defeated goon on his feet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found Meera standing at some distance and looking towards me with wide eyes. It doidn't take much time for me to handle those goon. But my body was bit aching due to those scratches I got and specially the bullet injury in arm was burning hell by the time. Still when I just saw her standing there and looking towards me with those wide eyes, and I found a bit worry for me in her expression it felt like the injuries were worth. My smirk widened looking towards her wide eyes. And to my surprise her eyes widened even more and she started rush towards me with some fearful expression. I was kindda startled by her sudden mode change but the next some moment left me in shocker. Meera came near me rushing like hell and suddenly pulled my collar with her left hand pulling me closer to her and crushing on my chest. My breath stopped at the very moment and felt my heart pounded like hammer in my chest feeling her that close. It was my turn to stand in shock. My head started to stop functioning and couldn't even detect what the hell she was up to.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I always knew him as one of those men who killed didi and ma. I hated him like anything all those days. Still I couldn't stop myself from worrying about him. I didn't know why I my breath stopped in utter fear when I saw one of the goon approaching towards Rangeela from back side with a stone in hand and he was all unaware of him. I didn't know which instinct hit me by the time that I rushed towards him. The goon was just standing behind him and was about to hit his head, without wasting a moment I pulled out Rangeela's gun from his jeans and shoot him on almost point blank range. The goon fell with a scream freezing me.

As the shocking effect of incident left me I almost crushed on the ground feeling weak on my knees. I just killed someone with my own hand and it was hard to digest for me. I was not the cold blooded murderer like them. As I found the lifeless body just some inches away from mine a lumped formed in my throat. Aryan told me before coming to this village that I had to be ready for any situation. Mainly that's why he taught me the use of guns. I knew it would be hard for me but never thought it would be that harder.

As I sat on the dusty dry leaves covered ground I found some odd feeling of liquid in my hand. I looked towards my hand and saw the blood of that man whom I shot earlier had drenched the gun as well as me. A lump formed in my throat seeing my blood drenched hand and the gun fell from it automatically. I kept looking towards my hand with empty eyes, feeling numb. Even my hand got dirtied by their blood!!

I felt someone seating in front of me but I was still not in state to look up and talk to him. His hand approached suddenly and grabbed my hand startling me. At the very next moment he took a hanky and started to wip the blood from my hand. I was totally speechless for a while by his act. I slowly looked up and found him all concentrating on weeping the single drop of blood from my hand.

It felt somehow a bit oddly amusing to me. Some deep feeling washed through my heart which I couldn't say in words. I kept on looking towards his face on moonlight without a word and he looked different. There was something new in him. He didn't look like the earlier Rangeela who was ready to murder anyone on his master's demand. And more over, I couldn't hate him like before for some reason. I so strongly believe about him being the heartless criminal but something huge had been changed in some earlier hours which I couldn't say.

"Madam, Tum too expert ho!!! his teasing word followed by a chuckle broke my frozen state. I felt a bit odd that I understood that I was gazing him for all the time and thank god he didn't notice.

"Matlab?!! I asked in daze.

"Tum matlab bahut jyada puchti hoo!! he chuckled again, "Kuch der pahele Jageer ji koo gira diya... aur abb iss ko... he said indicating towards the dead goon. "Kahan se sikha yee sab?!! his voice seemed quiet playful.

"Mazak kar rahe hoo mere sath?! I asked in a bit weary voice. I was still not in mode to talk. I was feeling some heavy weight inside and I just could sigh that away.

"Waisey tum mujhe wahan khare raheke bhi bata sakti thi ki koi mere piche se aa raha hain mujeh maarne ke liye... mujhe bachane ke liye aisi bhagke ane ki koi zarurat nahin thi!! the playfulness suddenly increased in his voice.

"Samajh loo tumhara udhar chukka rahi hoon... Itni madad joo kar rahe hoo meri!! I said with a sad smile.

"Sach kahoon too main bhi chauk gaya tha... Jo chori kuch der pahele mhare se itni nafrat kar rahi thi woo achanak see aa ke mujhe gale laga rahi hain!! the tease was clear in his voice.

"Ohh hello mr!! it felt like I found my voice by his teasing words as I snapped to him angrily, "Koi galat faiymi mein mat rahena samjhe?!! Tumne meri jaan bachayi aur maien tumhari!! Bas.. Hisaab barabar!! I said in angry voice.

He didn't seem bothered by my words and just chuckled with that playful smile in his face and left his hand. As I looked towards my palm I found it all clear and not a single stress of blood there.

"Chalo yahan sey!! Waisey bhi... do do baar goli chali hain!! Apne sathion koo dhundte huye zaroor idhar ayengey woo log!! Rangeela informed me. I was about to stand on my feet when his gun got into my view. I lifted that up from ground and gestured it back to him.

"Tum issey bhool rahe hoo!! I said with quite voice. He looked towards the gun in my hand silently and looked towards me with some odd but deep gaze.

"Kya huya?!!... Lo!! I was a bit startled as he didn't make any move to take that back in his hand. As I looked towards his silent face in confusion suddenly He grabbed my gun holding hand between his two palms and gestured back to me.
"Rakh lo..." he said making me stunned again.

"matlab?!... tum mujhe apni gun kyun de rahe hoo??..." I couldn't stop asking in confusion.

"yahan itne dino rahene kee baad bhi aisey behude sawal pooch rahi hoo?!.. Abtak too pata chal jana chahiye tha ki yahan ke log banduk ki zubaan jyada ache se samjahte hain..." he looked a bit irritated as if I have asked him the dumbest question.

"Par mujhe nahin chahiye!!..." I snarled and disagreed to hold the deadly weapon. Still i could smell the blood from it. "Aur waisey bhi iss kaa main kya karungi?!!... Yee tum jaise gundo ke hatho mein jyada acha lagta hain!!"

"HUH!!" the sarcastic smile was back in his face and that time somehow it looked childish too, "Demo too kuch der pahele dekh liya apne akhon se... Aur abhi yee mat kahena ki tumhe chalana nahin atta!!"

I couldn't answer him back rather than looking elsewhere angrily.

"Aur waisey bhi... jo larki ek safety pin se pahelwaan ko gira sakti hain... uss kee hatho mein banduk aa jayein too woo..." my head boiled at his taunt again.

"Tumhe bahut maza atta hain mujhe tane maarne mein??!!" i snapped back to him.

He just laughed a bit seeing my angry face and looked back to me. I was again taken a back as his eyes fell on me. There was not a single sign of anger, there was some new glow, as if he was enjoying my each and every antics very much.

"Bahut bari galti karne jaa rahe ho..." i said sternly looking straight in his eyes, "Soch lo... Iss gun se main tumhe bhi maar sakti hoon..." my voice turned cold.

His face turned stern for a moment as i stated those words about killing me but that was only for a little second. He laughed again with that sarcastic glint in eyes and that time louder making me confused again.

"Naah!!!" he looked back to me with that glowing smile on his face which somehow hold a bit of sadness too, "itni achi maut mhare naseeb mein naa hain!!"

And i didn't know why my heart fluttered again as he said the last sentence looking straight inside my eyes with that mysterious depth in his gaze.
