Ch-3
"Koond jaao...!" A known thick voice almost thumped my heart as it spoke to my ear. My step got misplaced out of shock and I was almost about to slip down the deep gorge. But a farm hand caught me before that.
I looked up in shock and quickly recognized Rangeela standing at my side even in the dense darkness around.
"Tum?!!,,, Phir se?!!" I said in disappointment trying to get free of my hand from his hold.
"Arey awaz niche rakho madam...sare ke sare iss taraf aa rahe hain..." he said with low voice grabbing my arm more firmly. I understood that he had no intension to let me go.
"Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?!" I hissed in angry voice.
"Machaar maar raha hoon..." he mocked angrily. "Abb mooh bandh karo aur niche koond jaoo..." he almost pushed me inside the steep slope.
"Pagal hoo kya?!!... Maarna chahte hoo mujhe?!!" I asked with confusion as well as anger.
He chuckled in annoyance and suddenly imprisoned me in his tight embrace from backside clamping my face tightly. I was so shocked to react by his movement, without giving me a moment he dragged me towards the slope and I couldn't resist due to his immense power.
I didn't notice in darkness that the gorge wall was not totally steep. It had small natural outgrowing of stone basins where two or three men could easily stay foot for a while. I guessed Rangeela stood on one of that stone made outgrowing still holding around me tightly. As I felt his hot breath on my top, the utter closeness felt so eerie and uncomfortable.
"Choro mujhe..." I said hitting him with my elbow hard.
"Ouch!!.." he winced a bit but his hold didn't lose, "Madam... apna hath apne pass rakho... agar maine chod diya naa to 50 feet niche khayi mein jaa ke gir jaogi..." he hissed with more annoyed voice.
I was about to say something but the sound of foot step alerted me. I looked up and instantly saw the silhouette on dark. My breath stopped automatically in anticipation and eyes got fixed on those people.
" Arey bhaiya... kuch na hain idhar...koi janwar hoga..." a man's voice hit my ear.
"Apna mooh bandh rakh se..." the man at his side almost scowled, "Manne saaf suna tha idhar se kisi kee chicken ki awazein aa rahi thi... hoo naa hoo mhare koo khara yakin hoo gaya se ki chori idhar hi kahin hain!!"
"Bhaiya dekho kuch der pahele hum sab yahin se too gujre the... tab too kuch nazar na ayya..." the other man tried to console him.
"Arey andhere mein bahut kuch nazar naa ave... Eee torch jalao re... aur chappa chappa chan maro..." his ordering voice reflected. Within a second two or three torches glowed in their hand killing up the darkness and there search begins again. Standing upon the stone curving I could clearly hear there footstep heating the ground and moving everywhere. Sometimes there flashes of torch fell on the side of gorge but we were standing on safe place so it never caught us.
"Lagta hain puri raat light show karna hain inhe..." Rangeela's low voice growled onto my ear, "S**e!!.. jate kyun nahin hain..."
"Mujhe yahan overnight khare rahene ki koi intention nahin hain!!..." I said in angry low voice too, "Sab tumhari galti hain!! Chupne ki koi aur jagah nahin mili tumhe?!!"
"Ohhh acha?!!" the mockery was back in his tone, "Abb sari galti mhari hain kyun?!...S**a tumhare piche hi nahin ana chahiye tha..." he scowled again.
"Haan too kisney kahan tha mera picha karne ke liye?!... Chale kyun nahin gaye yahan se?!" I said with a bit loud voice.
"KAUN HAIN?!!" a third voice hit our ear freezing both of us in our place. I quickly looked above and found one of the goons standing on the edge of gorge. Ohh Shit!!!... I should have noticed him. He might have listened to talks. Another thing startled me again when Rangeela's hand instantly left mine and I felt some movement from his side. The torch light flashed inside the gorge and soon it find me standing on the hiding place all alone.
"Bhaiya!!...Idhar hain chori!!!" the man screamed like mad as soon as he noticed me there and I heard the sounds of footstep coming towards there in unison.
My heart shank in disappointment... I looked around to search for Rangeeela but it seemed like he had hide himself within the darkness. The anger burned my head. I never knew that he would be so selfish and coward to leave me in the time of need.
The goons approached there soon and there evil smile flashed in the torch light as they found me there all alone.
"Eee chori upar aa... Chupne kaa koi fayda naa hain abb..." the man who looked like there leader ordered me with nasty grin.
I looked around feeling helpless. I was standing on the slope and I didn't know how I would step up climbing on it. There was a high chance to be slipped.
"Arey upar aa naa..." He asked impatiently.
"Bhaiya... aisey naa hoga... Chori koo upar lana parega..." another man suggested.
Soon they helped, rather than I would say dragged me out from the place and soon I was on ground.
"Chup chap humare sath chal malik ke pass... S**a bahut bhagaya aaj tune!!... abb koi bhi chalaki naa karna..." the leader goon told me holding my hand tightly and pointing his gun towards my forehead. I gave him an angry glare and he answered increasing his nasty grin. Not just him, all the goons present around were looking towards me with that nasty look which totally gave me the intention of their mind.
"Bhaiya!!... chalo malik ke pass le jane se pahele chori ke sath thori masti ki jayein..." A goon suggested with his double meaning words.
"Haan bhaiya... bahut din hoo gaye masti nahin ki kissi chori ke sath... aur yee too ekdum pataka maal se!!..." the man told at his side. My mind got numbed in fear for a moment. They were at least 7 people and my mind was not working for a moment that how I would escape from them, how would I save myself from there bad intention. Without giving attention to there I started to think harder searching for ay root to escape looking around. That coward Rangeela must have rushed away saving himself. But anyway, I was never expecting his help.
"Naa... Pahele yeee chori malik ke pass jayegi!!... Malik ne ke kaha tha yaad naa se?! Chori milte hi unhe khabar karna hain..." Another goon suggested. .
"Arey kaa bhaiya... agar malik ke hatho lagi too yee zinda jala dengey chori koo... Aur humre hath lagega baba ji ka thullu... Waisey bhi too marne wali hain yee... Marne se pahele manne thori kaam a jayein..." His intention was total clear in his voice.
There was a slight conflict arising in them and their concentration was diverting away from me. Some of them were scared to disobey their master as they knew his ruthless character really well. He didn't spare anyone if he got mad. I was waiting for the opportunity actually. I noticed that the gun was not pointed towards me anymore. As the conflict was getting serious his hand was also getting loose a bit. I looked at my right side where I could find a clear way to run out.
The goons didn't notice that when they were dragging me out from the gorge I got hold of something and I was holding onto that secretly on my palm. Now I slowly opened my feast and without wasting a moment threw the stone chips mixed sand directly into the eye of my captivator.
"AHHH!!!..." with a growl he hold his eyes. The goons were suddenly so startled by his huge scream that they all froe on their spot. I didn't wasted a moment and rushed on my pre decided way.
"Arey chori bhag rahi hain!!... pakr ussey..." their scream hit my ear and I just rushed without looking back. I bet that they were running behind me like the pack of wolves as I was struggling my way through the stone filled hilly pathway. I knew that I couldn't continue like that for long and sooner or later they would catch me if I don't do something. For a moment I looked back and found all of them chasing me. My breath stopped for a while. I was not looking forward for a moment as I was checking those goons and at the very moment someone came to my pathway and I bumped. Being stunned for a moment I looked up and fund Rangeela standing in front of me with a rigid and cold expression. I was shocked like never before. I thought he escaped the place but he was still there!!...
Looking towards those goons with some cold unreadable expression he looked back towards me and I felt chill at the very moment. I knew that gaze of him very well. It was the indication of silence before storm. He suddenly held onto my hand tightly hauling onto my escape mission and the goon reached that place soon.
"Arey bhaiya aap itheey?!!" the goon seemed in relieved as they found Rangeela there, "Acha huya aa gaye!! Daura daura ke thaka diya iss chori nee..."
"Haan!!" Rangeeela chuckled seeing their state and looked towards me with that same dark look but containing a smirk in his lip, "Daurne kaa bahut saukh hain naa madam koo... Olympics mein jana hain inhe!!"
I just looked away fuming angrily. I knew really well that he would never change his loyalty for his master then what was the need of all those drama?!!
"Bhaiya!!.." the goon leader said huffing, "Chori koo mhare hawale kar do... Aap ghar jao... Hum issey sahi salamat malik ke hatho paucha dengey...Kun bhailog?!!" he indicated something towards his partners and they all nodded head in unison. I knew really well that why they wanted me to get back into their captivity!! Their nasty brain didn't give up yet.
"Chori ne lena hain?!!" the mockery became evident in Rangeela's voice as he spoke at the moment, "Too udhar kyun khara hain... Idhar aa... aur lee jaa..." As soon as he spoke up the word the chill again rushed down my spine. I looked towards his face in disbelieve. I knew that he was utter ruthless slave of his master but still I didn't know why I was shocked when he was about to handover me to those goons.
The goon leader came forward with nasty grin. I struggled hard to get rid of Rangeela's hold but it was impossible!! His hand was holding my forearm like an unbreakable shackle. The goon leader came and stood in front of me bearing his wolfish smile. I greeted my teeth and looked towards Rangeela who was looking towards me with that same smirk. I should have saved those dusts. I applied them on wrong person. But somewhere in my mind I knew well that the shrewd guy like him wouldn't be get tricked by such stupid outdated method like those goons. That goon leader lifted his hand and tried to touch my chicks and my head boiled again. With my free right hand I gave a tight slap onto his chick with my all power. The sound was really hard that it almost reflected onto the silent night.
The goon leader seemed all startled as he looked towards me with wide eyes holding his chick.
"DON'T YOU DARE TO TOUCH ME WITH YOUR NASTY HAND!!!..." I said loudly on his face.
The savage anger reflected in the eyes of goon leader as he looked towards me. Greeting his teeth his hand flashed again to grab my free hand and drag me to his side. But at the very moment he got a hard punching blow on his other chick which didn't come from me but rather surprisingly from Rangeela!!!
I looked towards Rangeela with utter shock as his rigid hard face aimed directly towards those goons. On the little light of torches I could see a cold anger on his eyes.
The goon leader was already on the dusts looking towards Rangeela with shocked eyes. The black spot of punch was clearly visible on his chick even in the small light.
"Bhaiya... Eee sab kya hain?!!" the goon leader was in utter shock as he spoke. At the very moment Rangeela pushed me in his back side standing at my front like a wall.
"ABB CHOO KE DIKHA MHARI BIWI KOO!!..." his cold voice was rather warning as he spoke up looking towards the goon still holding my hand tightly. And I was standing there in utter shock witnessing everything.
