Abhigya Short Story- The Professionals (updated Pt 4 Page 14)

PART ONE

"Oh my god ! Why did this have to happen in the middle of nowhere?! This car just HAD to give me trouble when I want to get home early after a long day!"

"Hello Bahadur.. I am on the Pune-Mumbai highway.. And this car stopped all of a sudden .. Get a car here and also inform a mechanic to come and check this car"

"Ji Sir.. Will be there ASAP"

"Theek hai .Thanks "

Around half an hour later.. Abhi hears some noise in the bushes nearby..

He gets nervous as there seems to be no activity on the road and so no one will be there to help him even if he is in some trouble..

Suddenly around four people emerge in front of him with knifes ,wearing black face masks and walk towards him..

Abhi is rooted to the spot out of shock and his mind starts racing..
Four against one.. The only chance to save himself is to run as much as he can,from them..and that's exactly what he does..

He runs into the forest as fast as possible and of course the goons come after him..
Abhi hides behind one very big tree as his legs hurt and also cos the rustling of leaves when he runs, will let him down otherwise..

Two people are very close to finding him so he holds his breath.. The goons give up, thinking they have missed their target for the day and are about to leave when one more guy who is coming from the opposite direction,spots Abhi..

"Arey! Chandu, munna, lucky..sab log idhar aao..Yahan hai woh! "

Abhi tries running from him but he is surrounded by others by then.. He is helpless and starts panicking but gets reminded of Dadi's words..

"Abhi.. Whenever you face trouble of any kind, you should stay calm..if you panic, your mind will not help you in finding a solution. Take a deep breath and act fast"

So he does just that..takes a deep breath and thinks of what to do..he has to act fast.. "Okay fine they might be here for money Abhi.. Just give it to them"

But before he could ask them what their requirement is,one of them aims at his stomach but misses it as Abhi turns at that moment, so stabs his shoulder instead..

Abhi yells in pain but tries to defend himself somehow by hitting two people closer to him. Two others hit him from behind and so he falls on the ground.

They continue beating him up when a honk of a car is heard from the road and the goons panic. What if someone finds them ? What is there are a lot of people and they end up getting outnumbered ?

The leader of the gang says .."we might get into trouble if we stay here any longer.. Just see if this guy has some wallet and grab it lets leave !"

"Okay boss", replies one of them and turns Abhi around to look for his wallet. After succeeding in his attempt to find one, he takes it and they run away..
(They could've done this even without stabbing our hero [;(] )

Bahadur finds Abhi's car on the road but sees that Abhi is not around.. He tries calling his cell and that's when he hears the ringtone from some place close by..he starts walking towards the source,despite being scared..its for his Abhi sir after all and he will be there for him if he needs him cos Abhi sir has always been nice to him and helped his family.

The call goes to voice mail so he tries again and now he is closer to the source of the ringtone.. He runs and finds Abhi on the ground,almost unconscious and with a bleeding shoulder..

"Sir ! Abhi sir!! Kya hua aapko? Yeh kaise hua?"

He continues rambling when he hears Abhi ask for water..

He decides to take Abhi to the car. It will take around two hours minimum to reach Mumbai because of the traffic and Abhi was already losing blood. This is the highway and there was some small town nearby where he could get some help.. If they were lucky enough ,a doctor maybe? So he helps Abhi get into the back seat and drives as fast as possible to the nearby town

He enters the town and after enquiring with the locals there,gets to know that there is a doctors camp closeby ..the camp was set up here for a week to do medical check ups for the people of this town..

He drives to the camp and runs inside and informs the nurse about his Boss's injury.

They get a stretcher and make Abhi lie on it and take him inside..

"Dr Arora.. A patient has been stabbed on his shoulder and seems like someone has beat him too..he is losing blood"

" Stabbed? .. Okay nithya you clean his wound I will be there", says Dr Pragya Arora while thinking .."Stabbed.. Shouldn't I inform the police then?..theek hai I will go have a look at his state first, that is more important.."

She walks up to the room and sees the patient .." Rockstar Abhishek mehra?!"
