Chapter 5
Ais: riya.
And the next second she crumpled down to the ground. Riya immediately rushed towards her and checks her pulse to feel it beating steadily. She looks up as the car ambles towards them and comes to a stop. Karan and simran step out and immediately cover their noses.
Kar: what the? she's them.
Ri: no, she is becoming them. we have to get her out of here before they come and find her.
Kar: no, we should not. Riya, she halfway gone. Its no use taking her back now. It's a huge risk.
Ri: I am not leaving her karan. And somewhere I know. she won't be like them.
Sim: riya, consider the situation. She is becoming like them. and when she becomes, it will be a huge danger not only for you but for all of us. are you willing to risk the team for what you are feeling?
Riya remains silent as karan and simran exchange a knowing glance. They know riya won't take any risk with the team. Riya looks upto them "okay, you are right. it is a risk." Both of them heave a sign of relief.
Kar: good, you understood. So leave her there and lets get the hell out of here.
Ri: we are taking her to my place.
Kar and sim: WHAT?
Ri: all the equipments I require to monitor her is in my place. There is also a room where she can be kept safely. She will be safe at my place and no risk to anyone also.
Kar: riya, are u nuts? You will be in danger and we can't risk that.
Ri: I am not leaving her karan get that point in your head. So either you help me pick her up and take her to my place or I will do it myself.
Karan gives her a glare. Both karan and simran exchange a helpless glance and proceed to help riya to carry aisha back to her place.
Kar: it's a bad idea riya. I am telling you again. Once she is bonded, she won't be able to function as herself.
Riya does'nt say anything just continues to stroke aisha's hair. Within 20 minutes, they reach a bungalow covered with fortified walls. Riya opens the gates electronically and they all go in. they stop at the entrance of the house. Riya opens the door and is going to hold aisha when karan said "I will carry her." riya looks at him and he said "I am your bodyguard. So I will carry her. besides if she becomes out of control, I will be able to control her better.". riya does'nt say anything just gives a dimple smile to karan. Karan carries aisha to the bedroom on the ground floor. He places aisha on the bed and backs giving space to riya to examine her.
Ri: simran, help me bring all the equipment into this room.
Both riya and simran go out while karan takes out his phone and calls him.
Riya checks aisha's temperature and heartbeat and hearing the knock on the door she said "come in." turning around her face hardens seeing samrat.
Ri: karan called.
Sam: yeah, he did. I don't understand what do you think you are doing? You know she is a lost case.
Ri: she is a lost case only when we lose hope. And I won't lose hope.
Sam: riya, start thinking from your head and not from your heart. She is infected. That means sooner or later they are going to find her and make her bound to them. And if they find out that you are with her their first order for her will be to kill you.
Ri: I don't care samrat. I am not going to give up.
Sam: fine, but if she attacks or harms any one of my team I am going to shoot her. understand?
Ri: understood.
Samrat walks out of the room but not before giving a glance at riya who is again checking aisha's vitals.
Karan and simran is waiting for him in the hall.
Kar: well?
Sam: she is not listening.
Sim: told you she won't.
Kar: I don't get it. why she is so attached to them when they are the reason she is in trouble? Everyone of them is bad news especially that arjun suryankant rawte.
Sam: karan, cribbing won't do any good. You know her. she won't give up.
Sim: what if the oracle says is true? What is they are the ones who will change the course of this war?
Kar: even if the prophecy is true, riya is going to make sure that they are untouched by this. I know her. she is already feeling guility for not able to save aisha. Samrat, did you set aisha up as bait?
Samrat did'nt say anything just looked at karan. Karan looks steadily back at him unflinching in his stare.
Sam: no, I did'nt.
Kar: then how the hell did they know about her?
Sim: a mole?
Sam: possibly, but where? In our office or in theirs? Or...
All of them jumped hearing a smashing sound in aisha's room. taking out their weapons, they rushed to the room and samrat kicked it open only for them to see a disbelieveing scene.
