PART 3
DEV'S POV
It's been half an hour since I have been following Sonakshi's car, but still none of her actions gave me the slightest clue about what she was up to. I could see that her driving skills were highly commendable, she had improved in her driving skills and surprisingly this created a little tinge of sadness in me. It was not that I did not like and acknowledge the fact that she had finally learned to drive a car but the fact that she was able to achieve many things in my absence really affected me. I was feeling guilty that I was unable to accompany her throughout her path of success. On the contrary, I was slowly failing in many things which I used to excel in before. I sadly realized that I was still stuck in my horrible past whereas Sonakshi seemed to be least bothered about the pain that nagged my heart and soul each second. Wise people say that there is a woman behind every successful and happy man. Sonakshi was and is the only key to my success and happiness. But her sudden exit from my life crushed me into pieces.
My sad and endless ocean of thoughts came to a halt when I started to realize that I was extremely familiar with the roads she was driving through. After sometime I realized that the roads that I was travelling through were that the same roads through which I had taken Sonakshi 7 years ago to propose her. Suddenly all those beautiful moments that we had shared rushed to my mind like a hurricane. Those memories still soothed and calmed my mind and heart even after 7 years. Maybe these memories were the only reason that my lungs was able to process the oxygen I inhaled, otherwise I would have been physically dead the moment Sona went away from me. Her face which exhibited blush and shyness when I said that her name and her face were extremely gorgeous- undoubtedly she was still the most gorgeous woman on this earth for me.All these memories brought a fresh set of tears from my eyes but the helmet I wore hided the tears that were slowly flooding my eyes.
After sometime her car stopped near my old rented house where I had confessed my love to her. My mind was filled with curiosity and suspicion as I did not have the slightest bit of idea as to what she was doing here. Then, after sometime she got out of her car and stood in front of the house possibly waiting for someone and I knew it would be the man she was recently intimidated with -Jatin. But then suddenly I could hear her calling out a name which boiled my blood in anger.
SONA: KHATRI!!!!!...KHATRI!!!!!...she shouted at the top of her lungs. YOU WANTED ME TO COME ALONE TO MEET YOU RIGHT.SEE, I HAVE COME ALL ALONE AND NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO COME INFRONT OF ME, she spoke determinedly. After some time Khatri came and stood right in front of her, but what surprised me the most was that she was not at all scared by the man standing in front of her.
KHATRI: I WAS SURE THAT YOU WILL COME.YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WAS HERE FOR A COMPORMISE BUT I HAVE SOME EVIL PLANS UP IN STORE FOR YOU.
(NOTE: DEV CANNOT HERE THE COVERSATION BETWEEN SONA AND KHATRI AS HE IS STANDING REALLY FAR AWAY FROM THEM BUT HE HEARD KHATRI'S NAME AS SHE WAS SCREAMING HIS NAME OUT)
I could see that Sona and Khatri were arguing over something but couldn't figure out what they were talking about but one thing I could understand is that something was wrong somewhere. I had never told Sona about this man then how come she knows him so well, I thought.
KHATRI: I HAVE ARRANGED A TREAT FOR YOU, DEAR AND ITS TIME FOR YOU TO ENJOY IT, he said with an evil grin.
Suddenly some men with dangerous and cruel eyes came behind Sona with big daggers and long knives which were strongly clasped in their masculine hands, possibly to stab her. Her face clearly depicted fear and anxiety but she remained calm and composed. It was like she was already ready for whatever that was unfolding in front of her, probably because she knew there was no way out. Then slowly those men started to take baby steps towards her and she continued to move back due to fear.
I was horrified by all the scenes that was happening in front of me and a sudden desire to save her from the clutches of those men crept in me. So what if she didn't care about me it was my responsibility to save her from all problems. I had miserably failed once in doing so and I didn't want to repeat the same fault again so I started running toward her. I could see that Sona was trying every possible way to protect herself but since those men were more in number they were able to overpower her and insert the dagger inside her abdominal cavity splashing her hot blood on my face and making her cry and scream in pain.
NARRATOR'S POV
SONA:AAAGHHH...she screamed as the daggers pierced her soft skin and she fell on the ground with a loud THUD.
DEV: Sonakshi... he called out to her frantically, his voice was mixed with fear, sadness and anxiety.
But before he could hold her in his arms, all those men came and stopped him from going towards her. She was bleeding very badly and seeing her condition Dev's heart was broken in to pieces. He was finding it difficult to breathe and he remembered that the last time he felt like this was when she met with an accident. But at that time she was just his employee but now she was the woman he loved immensely and the mother of his beautiful daughter.
He felt like killing Khatri with his hands but he was unable to do so as he could not free himself from the strong hold of those men as he was himself getting weak seeing Sona's condition.
Just then Khatri turned to Sona and spoke to her with his usual evil attitude.
KHATRI:YOU DID A GREAT MISTAKE BY BRINGING YOUR DEAR HUSBAND WITH YOU.BUT ITS FINE,I WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND SO THAT BOTH OF YOU CAN HAVE A SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY TOGETHER TO HEAVEN, FIRST I WILL KILL YOUR HUSBAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES AND THEN I WILL KILL YOU.
Those men tied his hands back and tightly held him so that he does not move. Dev knew that he was going to die but he was happy that he wouldn't have to live like a lifeless man from then on as Khatri was even planning to kill Sona and he couldn't do anything to save her. But he was sad thinking about his daughter Suhana. He knew that his home was not a safe place for his daughter. As Khatri took the gun from his pocket and proceeded towards him, he gave a final look at Sona, who even in her pathetic condition was slowly getting up from the ground proceeding towards him. As Khatri filled the rifle with bullets, he closed his eyes and reminisced about all the beautiful moments he and Sona had spent with each other.
And then Khatri shot the bullet-THUDDD...
The bullet shot was so loud that it was followed by a huge and unbearable silence. Dev was all the more perplexed as he had heard the bullet shot but he didn't feel any impact of the bullet on his body. Slowly as he opened his eyes he got the greatest shock of his life as he saw Sona standing in front of him. His worst fear came true when he saw that Sona lost her consciousness and collapsed on his chest. He couldn't believe that Sona had taken the bullet on her body to save him. He could see that she was heavily bleeding due to all the horrible impacts on her delicate skin.
Sensing the seriousness of the situation Khatri and his men ran away from there leaving Dev and Sona all alone.
Sona was lying on Dev's lap and he was crying his lungs out as he had no idea what to do now. He slowly took her face and started his conversation with her unconscious body.
DEV: SONA, WHAT IS ALL THIS. WHY DID YOU COME TO THIS PLACE ALL ALONE TO MEET THAT PERSON. WHAT IS THAT YOU ARE HIDING FROM ME. I VERY WELL KNOW THAT YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING AND ITS NOT ABOUT JATIN, BECAUSE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE RISKED YOUR LIFE TO SAVE ME.
WHY DID YOU DO THIS SONA, WHY???????he screamed.
I CALLED YOU A BAD MOTHER AND QUESTIONED YOUR CHARACTER- WHY DID YOU DO ALL THIS FOR SUCH A PERSON.WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT AND GOOD.
His sobbing was increasing with every passing minute and suddenly he realized that he had to take her to the hospital, so he stood up, picked up her in his arms, proceeded towards his car, kept her inside the car with utmost care and drove to the nearest hospital with a speed that could excel the speed of light.
