~ Chapter 21 part 2 ~
Jalal POV
" why don't you tell me about your enemies Jalal?" He asks as his voice thickens with a serious tone. For a minute or two I stared at him blankly wide eyed unsure of what to reply. When I thought over it made sense someone is after me.. But they're using Jodha to get to me , because It makes no sense if they're only after Jodha. I lower my head down as my right fist clenched tight gritting my teeth my face hardened. " how dare they.." I look back at Rahim who seems to be looking right at me with nothing but a straight faced expression.
Rahim: " well?" He says snapping me out of my chain of thoughts
Jalal: " I don't understand because I don't have such extreme enemies as far as I'm concerned.." I say with more a questioned like tone.
Rahim: " what about your business rivals ?" he says suggesting a broad idea. I stop and think for a minute as I go through some of them in my head but no it seems they're not such enemies but just people who wants to take up the mughul industry's high standard but all of them gave up eventually.
Jalal: " well there is the one person that really hates me as I equally hate him"
Rahim: " and who might that be?"
Jalal: " one Mr. Arjun Punjj " ( those who used to what KMH would know this name😆 )
Rahim : " the head of the P& M media limited ?"
Jalal: " that's him " I reply as I nod
Rahim: " but your industry is on a different field than his company then how come you guys are rivals?" He asks in a confused tone.
Jalal: " for one , we hated each other since we were kids and two There's the mugual media limited which Adham Bhai is the head of"
Rahim: " ah yes that's right, hmmm arjun punjj I don't know he doesn't seem". I knew what he was going that sentence so I nod slowly making him stop at his sentence. After much more silence of him thinking and me trying to go over anyone just anyone would do at this point but rahim and I after a long dissusion realised that arjun wouldn't highly unlikely do something like that. And I guess I was defending him a bit you could say for one thing I know arjun might be a total jerk and all. But he would never be a part of something like that , he would never stoop so low. I could think of no one which only made me get angrier at myself. The sound of the clock ticking was the only thing you could hear in this room. Breathing silently , no movements just plain silence closing in me. I felt such pressure and restless welling up in my body. As I open my mouth to say something rahim' phone rings building up more restlessness in me he looks at me for a second , and glance back at his phone as he attends the phone still his eyes kept on me.
Rahim: " yeah what is it?" , soon enough his forehead cringes as he looks down and back to me. He looked confused with a tint of hope in his eyes,
" yeah we're on our way" he says ending the call.
Jalal: " what's goin on?" I ask impatiently
Rahim: " they've found another car trail " he says in a brooding tone , a chill ran beneath my skin , as I felt uneasy as well as thankful. This could actually lead us somewhere. " let's go " he says signalling me to come with him I nod and quietly follow him.
*** time lapse ***
When we finally arrive there , Rahim was greeted with a firm salute from everyone. Which suddenly made me feel out of place , I walk just beside him walking carefully , stepping over the tapes carefully. Rahim started talking something official to a serious looking man that looked like he never smiled in his life. I decided to stay out their discussion only because I thought that's the least I could do. I glance back the car now a group has surrounded it nodding their heads and examining the car. " jo I promise I'll find you ". With the movements of someone coming from the behind I turn around to see Rahim as he raises his eyebrows and right back down. " sorry to keep you waiting " he apologies . " no worries " I reply back. He signals me to follow him again as we walk towards the half broken tree just like the one we saw in the picture. There were tapes around blocking anyone from going in side there, it took me a while to really see it but there were some car trails, a man comes there holding a file under his arm he looked like a fine man he smiles at us though he looked a little confused of my presence and salutes Rahim.
Rahim: " ah Daniyal , good to see you again briefly explain ". He says referring to his findings.
Daniyal: " yes sir." He replies politely.
Daniyal: " sir just yesterday a car trail aside from miss rajput's were found, these car trails have come in and out also these car trails have overlapped miss rajput's car trails... Sir they stopped just a 3.2 meters away from miss rajput's car. So we're sure that the car had forced its way to hit the back of miss rajput's car.
Rahim: " hmmm.. Before you continue i have a question".
Daniyal: " yes sir?"
Rahim: " how the hell did they manage to get the car placed over there?" He asks in confusion I've been wondering that too you could say.
Daniyal: " we are still unsure about that sir..". He says disappointed
Jalal: " um I've been thinking.. Obviously whoever did this must have gotten out of the car right? Any I don't know footprints ?". I ask Daniyal nodded " there has been some footprints I was just getting to that ". He says smiling slightly , he seemed proud of his findings he smiled in not a over confident way.
We followed Daniyal a little a beyond the tree nearer to the car , as he stops in his tracks and turns around to face us again.
Daniyal: " the footprints ends here" he says pointing to the ground where else if you look closely there was footprints. One of the foot prints was more visible while the other was lightly visible which seemed rather odd. I stared at them for a while , on the other hand Rahim and Daniyal was in formal conversation. After a while questioning myself with the foot prints existence walking around a little noticing something rather odd about the way they were printed on the ground. The left footprint a deeper print while the right foot made a light print , cringing my forehead trying to understand why it was made like that for a while I stared at it blankly and then I understood why that was like that.
Jalal: " who ever it is , had a limping problem ." I say my eyes still fixed on the prints. I could hear the foot steps coming from my behind.
Daniyal: " how do you know that?" He asked out of suspicious sounding curiosity they continue walking and stops to stand just beside me. I extend my right arm pointing to the slightly faded footprint and then point to the more visible footprint.
Jalal: " what do you notice different about the prints from the left one to the right one?" I say as I glance at them , they seemed lost and confused as their eyes scan the prints. They look back act me again almost in Union , their eyes seemed awfully lost.
Jalal: " take a closer look... The left footprint is pressuring more creating a much more visible print.. While the right foot is just simply and normally there.." I say as I explain what seemed like a enigma to them a few seconds ago. I examine their reactions only to see a impressed smirk on both of their faces.
Rahim: " very impressive Jalal!" He says as he chuckles a bit
Daniyal: " yeah I agree.. Man you've got good eyes are you new here?" He says looking over at me passing me a surprised look. Before I could say anything Rahim opened his mouth completely cutting me off.
Rahim: " you idiot he's Jalal mohamaad " he says laughing at his colleague. I stare back at Daniyal only to see him in an uneasy shock like he regretted talking to me.
Daniyal: " I am so sorry... Sir I didn't know " he says apologising uneasily tensed.
Jalal: " no don't sweat it.. It's fine just call me Jalal " I reply back to him , I always felt strange when people who don't work with me address me with that kind of formality it always made me feel bit uncomfortable. Daniyal seemed as if he was going to say sorry one more time , but I passed him a reassuring look , he calmed down a bit more after that. Our gaze fell upon the footprints again, I know someone... I know someone that has a leg limping problem... I can't put my finger on it. Frustrated at
My thought , trying hard to remember that person who limps?.
Daniyal: " Sir I have to get these files back to them , I'll get going now." He says he says his formal goodbyes to us and leaves. As we watch him from afar " maybe you should quit the industry and become a detective ?!" Rahim says in a sarcastic tone as he chuckles gently.
Jalal: " like hell I would?!" I reply in a puzzled sort of way , I keep the sarcastic tone . But I just couldn't laugh the same way he did, after a while Rahim said it would be better if we left now as there was nothing much he can observe , he grabs some new files that were given to him as he both head back to the mohammad mansion.
** time lapse**
~ Residence Mohammad Mansion~
We walk yet again in the corridors that seemed haunting , it was so utterly quite it was disturbing. It only made me feel worse such tension rose in my body as we come to an end of the long corridor to the way of the great living room , there Adham Bhai was taking to someone one the phone and Hussain sitting in the couch with a frown plastered on his face. Adham Bhai notices our presence gave us a saddened smile , and ended his call immediately as he walks towards us. I didn't want to talk about it , I know what he might wanted to say or he wanted to remind me but I didn't want it hear it as much as the day will disturbing and depressing I didn't want to hear it.
Jalal: " I know.." I whisper cutting him off completely he seemed offended by it. He lowered his eyes as Rahim and I slowly walked away from there.
* time lapse *
3 Hours passed as we went through more discovering only the obvious things, made me feel so fustrated out of rage and tension. It was getting dark as the sky was hazy and gray shot through the lines of blue where the clouds briefly drifted apart from one another.
Rahim: " argh we're getting no where.. With the foot print thing "he says in a irritated tone slightly throwing down the file on to the tea table.
" Jalal Bhai jaan.." A child's voice called out for me , Rahim and I stared at each other puzzled and turned to our side to see anaya standing there with such a frowned expression. And just standing behind her was ruthshalini wrapping a light warm coloured shawl around her keeping herself warm from the chilly evening. My gaze fell back to anaya as I tried to smile but it just didn't go the way I imagined it.
Jalal: " anaya?! " I say as I pass a surprised look to her, she comes towards us and sits next to me and ruthshalini just behind her as she stands nears my chair.
Jalal: " well this certainly isn't you" I say worried
Anaya: " you'll find her nah?" She says in a low childish voice.
I glance at her , and found myself nodding gently to her.
Jalal: " I promise I will " I say promising her firmly at the corner of my eye I see Rahim passing a smile.
Anaya: " promise nah that's good" she says giving me her gentle smile.
Rahim: " is this your sibling?"
Jalal: " um no.. Actually my cousin anaya , ruthshalini and saumya "
Anaya: " I'm anaya :)" she says introducing herself
Rahim: " and I'm Rahim nice to meet you"
Anaya: " you too"
Ruthshalini : " Anaya it's getting late go to sleep baba" she says with concern. They both take their leave with a salaam , I turn back to him too see a deep in thought Rahim. I let him be , for awhile he then started to randomly summaries all the key things that happened with i closely listened to then he stopped.
Rahim: " doing all of this don't you think they would have kept an eye on her?" He says , the corners of his crinkled as he spoke. I glanced at him and down and found myself agreeing with him. Before I cold say or ask he interrupted me.
Rahim: " who was the last person jodha saw?" , I found myself wondering at his sentence after a few seconds unsure of what to reply I gently shrugged my shoulders.
Jalal: " I'm not so sure , I wasn't here at that time I was in Canada" I reply disappointed at myself of what all things occurred.
Rahim: " where was her last destination do you think?" , I look up to him only to find me broodingly starting at me.
Jalal: " if I'm correct , it should've been right here " I reply back to him referring to what ruthshalini had said a day ago.
Rahim: " could you call out one of the members so I can interrogate them?" He asked passing a glance at me.
Jalal: " yea I suppose you can".
We entered back into the house from the patio , as I look around only to find no one around. The chilly tension was thick as ever in the house , making it seem so utterly endless the clockwork mechanics echoed through out the room footsteps from the hard sole of our shoes rang in rythmed Union. In a few minutes a gentle footsteps approached us , as we both turn back only to see ruthshalini there passing us a surprised look, she put the lock of her hair behind her ear.
ruthshalini: " Is- everything okay? Do you need anything?" She asks, her voice seemed fragile.
Jalal: " um..yeah actually you said that jodha came here a two days ago right?"
Ruthshalini: " yes.. She did why you ask?" She replies in a confusion.
Rahim: " do you know why she came here ?"
Ruthshalini: " no not exactly.. She left in a hurry " she says shaking her head lightly.
Rahim: " miss , who was the last person she talked to?" He says slightly swaying his head to the right.
Ruthshalini: " um from here it should be anaya "
Rahim: " right.. Um Miss did you I don't know see someone here that seemed out of place? Or odd "
Ruth kept her silence for a while as she thought. Her eyes contactless as she thought it over. A disappointed look covered her face.
Ruthshalini: " I'm afraid not I'm sorry "
Rahim: " no it's alright Miss thank you " he says giving her a reassuring smile, he looked at her a few seconds and then looked away his eyes wandered to my face, I squinted my eyes at him in confusion he gently shrugged his shoulders , slight embarrassment was seen on his eyes as he smiles again as he continued walking away .I turned around to thank shalini and left to catch up with Rahim , who had already started climbing up the stairs. When I caught up to him , his mouth was wearing a slight smile. Confused at his sudden smiling behaviour, I ask him
" what's up? " , he simply shrugged and kept walking " do you even know where you're going?" . He stopped walking and looked behind and scanned the entire place " wait how'd I get here??" He asks me , his eyes crinkled as a confused expression covered his face. Twice as puzzled as he is stood me staring back at him I rolled my eyes and walked up to him.
Jalal: " never mind that are we going to talk to anaya? But I don't know if she would help us but I guess it's worth a try " , Rahim nods as we continue walking up , and through the empty corridors towards her bedroom. I gently knock the door , as no reply came by we open the door only to see anaya sleeping on her side. We both quietly walk up to her side and crouch down as I gently try to wake her up.
Jalal: " anaya.. Anaya... Wake up!" I shake her shoulder , she only got irritated and murmured something i couldn't quite here. As i Continue to shake her , soon enough she budged and we she did one of her eyes sharply opened , she gave us a deadly glare I look back to see Rahim completely take aback with her look.
Rahim: " how is it possible that the cutest item here is the scariest?" He says his eyes widened in shock. I gave him a uneasy chuckle , and I look back to see anaya staring right back at me.
Anaya: " what?!" She says in multiple greasy voice stuck in one voice. I hear Rahim gulp , wide eyed staring back at anaya who seemed awfully cross with us. I shake my head , and open my mouth to talk.
Jalal: " anaya.. Please get up we need ask something really important" she looked at rahim and back at me , and got up her hair down her elbow as she half sat up and nodded.
Jalal: " um rahim if you would.." I say starting him off.
Rahim: " yes right um.. So you were the last person to meet Miss rajput from here am I right?". She nodded and said " yeah it was me why?" She asked.
Rahim: " um I don't know how to put it .. But did you I don't know see someone rather out of place ?! Actually no tell me what exactly happened
To the time she left.." He asked her , anaya once again nodded and stay up straight. And I grabbed two chairs from the nearby table and places it beside Anaya's bed as we both seated.
Anaya: " well.. For starters Jodha di was already hear when we all came , and we had a little talk and then well begum Sahiba wanted a file , but saumya di and Shalu di refused to go and take. So begum sahiba sent Jodha di and I guess I just followed her to jalal's Bhai jaan's room where the file was kept... And then " she stopped for a second as she stared at ground she seemed a little confused.
Jalal: " and then?"
Anaya: " and then as Jodha Di was going through ur files cabinet , I don't know why after a while I heard her crying.." She said her forehead wrinkled in confusing. " crying?" I thought was it because of me? Most probably , a sting of guilt shot through me as I looked away.
Rahim: " hm. And then"
Anaya: " and then she handed me the file , to give it to begum Sahiba and tell everyone else she was leaving. And with that she ran out , I was a little worried so I ran behind her and outside the house , well I nearly caught up to her but then I bumped into someone and then it took us awhile to get back up again and then.."
Rahim: " who did you bump into?" He asks suddenly his eyes were darkening. I glanced back at anaya who seems confused by the question.
Anaya: " I.. I don't know I don't think I've ever seen him before " she says looking down in disappointment.
Jalal: " do you remember how he looked like? " I ask her , it was rather odd because all of the servants and maids here are well introduced us. And I don't quite remember recruiting a new servant , could this be the person who was keeping an eye on her?
Anaya: " sorry not really , I only helped him up and he left quickly "
Rahim: " was he limping anaya? She looked up and passed a suprised look and nodded.
Anaya: now that I actually think about he was limping " in a union second me and Rahim instantly looked at each our eyes grew wide , this person was around here for sure he was the person that did this.
Jalal: " anaya.. Please try to remember how he looked like " I was desperate , I wasn't going to take a no for a answer I was gripped on the feeling of desperation.
Rahim: " that won't be necessary " he says as he rose to his feet,
Rahim: " I assume you have security cameras operating around here?" He says staring at me.
Jalal: " um yeah we do.." I knew where he was going with this ,
Jalal: " I will contact the operators right away" I say pulling out my phone from my pant pocket.
Rahim: " thanks kiddo you helped u quite the bit " he says his eyes looked relaxed but somewhere.. You could see the tension on his face.
I thank anaya as well , and we both walk out of the room closing the door behind me as I go through the contact ,list i gradually walk slower and slower trying to find the God damn number.
Rahim: " well.. This is something I reckon we should have a talk with the Rajputs as well who knows " he says walking already walking down the stairs.
Jalal: " hm yea u agree " I say nodding to him ,
Rahim: " mm I doubt this is a time to go right now it' already half past ten , but I'll give mr rajput tonight " he says looking down on his phone. It's already half past ten? , the corners of my eyes blurred as I continued to scroll down the contact list. I walk up to him , only realising we were talking about this matter for hours , I've forgotten he hadn't eaten anything.
Jalal: " hey... You haven't eaten anything for hours , and I've forgot about that do join for dinner " I say standing beside , he looked up and grinned.
Rahim: " oh it's perfectly fine Jalal don't sweat it I'll go home and eat something "
" no.. That wouldn't be quite right now would it?" A feminine voice said from behind , rahim looked at me as if I had spoken that he then looked behind my shoulders , and his eyes gleamed , and his mouth curved into a smile out of nowhere , if I had seen this right his cheeks had a shade of red " wait what?" I follow his gaze and see ruthshalini there, with both of hands balled into her fist on her sides. She walked towards us ,
Ruthshalini: " come on please stay for dinner atleast ", rahim didn't speak for for second he just stared at her with a smile, between these two stood me confused at rahim's sudden behaviour.
Rahim: " um yea , if you insist " he replied , ruthshalini gently smiled in a approval.
Ruthshalini: " and Jalal you are joining us right you look awfully tired " she says worriedly.
Jalal: " no.. I mean I will eat later there's something I need to do " I lie to them , I wasn't in a particular mood to eat my entire throat tasted bitter and I really didn't want to talk to Adham Bhai about tommorow. I glance back at ruthshalini who seems disappointed, and nods hesitantly.
Rahim: " um are u sure?" , I nod at his question with reassuring look.
Rahim: " if you say so.. Well I'll come around here in the morning and we'll both go to the rajput haveli. Shalini and I passed each other a worried look.
Jalal: " um Tommrow yea.. Um maybe not too early in the morning , there's something going on in the morning , but I'll make sure I have your necessaries done ". As Rahim was going to ask further I quickly exchange a goodbye and he hesitated for a moment and said a goodbye to me , as I watch them both walk down the stairs , I glance at them one more time and head to my room.
( yea um guys just so you know um I'm doing a little rahim X ruthshalini shipping here so yea there will be moments hehe, and during their convo you'l, find out something heheheh😆😆)
( ooo and also you guys I don't think I've told you guy their age so let's make it up okay , coz yeah it doesn't make sense when you do the math , but then again this story story doesn't make any sense lol , um so
Jalal's age : 24
Jodha's age : 23
I know I know it doesn't make any sense when you do the math please bear with it 🤣)
Rahim POV
What was it he was hiding?, it was almost as if he ran away from my questions. I desperately wanted to ask ruthshalini about it but , I felt if it would be to nosy of me to do so. I steal a glance at ruthshalini who was serving me the food , she was so beautiful I found myself smiling she caught me staring at her as I looked down on my plate , too late Argh.
Ruthshalini: " is everything okay? " she asked gently seating herself to chair opposite me.
Rahim: " uh yea.. Everything's just fine miss "I say as I take a spoonful of fried rice into my mouth.
Rahim: " um Miss I was wondering what's goin on tomorrow?" , I place my spoon down and look at her , as her eyes looked a little taken aback with a sheer for sadness took over.
Rahim: " I'm sorry miss it isn't really my business I apologise for asking" I say guiltily ' way to go rahim' I cruse myself.
Ruthshalini: " no.. It's fine , tommorow is... The 8th year death anniversary of jalal's dad". her voice ever so choked , her eyes were watery
As she looked down . As for me I felt terrible , I wanted to say something comforting to her. How could I forget that? Humayun Mohammad's death the ever so humble man , I grit my teeth for being so stupid enough to ask that.
Rahim: " Miss... I- I'm so sorry... I didn't " my sentence broke away , by her.
Ruthshalini: " it's fine don't worry too much" she says putting on her best smile in her saddened face. I still felt guilty so I kept my silence, for a while and begin again " Miss".
Ruthshalini: " you are well aware of the fact that I do have a name" she laughing a little but the corners of her eyes were wet, but her voice ever so gently spoken.
Rahim: " uh.." I say uneasily
Ruthshalini: " my name is Ruthshalini you know but call me shalini " she says with a smile. Was she telling me to call her by her given name? I suddenly felt the heat rising in my cheek as I felt awfully awkward.
Rahim: " um right Miss.. I - I mean" I heard her giggle , " it's not impossible you know" she says still giggling. " just call me shalini it's not that hard". She says her eyes gleaming expecting me to call her by that name, I stare back at her light brown eyes , complementing her fair complexion her hair was jewelled up in a braid. " shalini" I call her as she smiles back.
Jalal POV
As I finished calling up the cctv camera operators, I sit down crossing my fingers together leaning forward. Shots of pain stung me as my hand was exposed .I felt uneasily dizzy as they room before me blurred out a bit. My head began to throb in a jerking speed and pain.I closed my eyes and all I saw was " her". I need to see her , I can't loose her , I can't afford to do loose her just like that. but something tells me that I will meet her again. Which makes me wonder in the end of all of this , she'll never come back to me no matter how much I wished
Maybe that was for the best , maybe one day she'll get married to someone else , and everything inside of me will die seeing that.
But even so she'll still be my priority, I promise I'll find you Jodha.
~Midst of the Kabul forest...
I heavily open my eyes , opening just one eye was so painful. My head felt like I've been crowned with thorns. My entire body shivered in fear and pain , I was scared , I was scared to open my eyes. My throat was perched everything about me , cried and screamed in pain for the last 3 days. These people were beasts , " Jalal" I whisper as a tear slide down my face.
Flashback.
I writh in pain, as I slowly look up to a place I did not know, my surroundings puzzled me. " where am I?" , i look to my left and right something stayed tightly around the side of my mouth I looked down a little to see a cloth around my mouth , pulling tightly at the edges of my lips . I tried to move away I felt fear rising up in my body I didn't not know what I was doing here. My hands were tied onto the chair I was sitting , as I breathe heavily. I tried to wriggle my hands out , as it stayed clenched on to my wrist as I felt my blood hot , my neck strained and the cut on my faces and neck shot up pain , a rope was tied on my chest making it so difficult to breathe I found myself trying to breathe , gasping for air I grunt , I hear footsteps coming towards , my heart felt heavy my cheeks burned as he comes closer to me coming out of the shadowy form. He walked closer to me as he scoffs. I squint my eyes , as sweat dripped down my forehead.
Unknown: " well.. Finally the sleeping beauty had awaken , you slept well?" He asked in a mocking away , as I move my shoulders. The man comes closer to me , as I move my face away from him in disgust. He smelled of wet stones and metal. He rips the mouth cloth with yank as I let out pained cry. I press my lips together still keeping my face away from him.
Jodha: " don't touch me" I warn him , he grinned in a dodgy manner as he slides the back of his index finger down the side of my face. It disgusted me as i closed my eyes tightly. " don't touch me" I say chocked
He cups my chin with his fingers , and brushes the top my chin with his thumb. He leaned into my ear lob like a snake , " I'm gonna make Jalal pay". My eyes widened ,
Unknown man: " I know , that you are well aware of where jalal's current location is ?" He moved away from my ear , and standing up straight again why did he want to know?. I flicker my eyes , my heart was beating loudly against my chest. Anxiety curled into my stomach there was no way I going to tell him whatever the reason was. I grunt again , as my wrist felt like it was cutting itself , a scent of blood reeked through my nostrils. I keep my silence , still refusing to look at him biting the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from crying in pain.
Unknown: " listen I don't have time for your attitude , just tell me where he is and I'll let you free". He says with a clear annoyed tone.
Jodha: " like hell I would say it to you " I reply , whatever the reason he had to find Jalal clearly looked like they didn't have a pleasing history. He crouched down , only making my heart beat faster yes I was scared. He harshly grabbed my chin in order to make me look at him. His hands were rough as he makes me look at him. I stared back at his dark eyes ,
Unknown: " listen love , it would be such a shame for a pretty faced girl like you to get murdered don't you think?". I gulped down , I shivered my lips quivered my eyes widened .A chill froze the back of my neck The fear in me only rose I was more scared to speak but I'm not going to tell anything. Which only made him angrier by my long silence.
Unknown: " I can not believe you're not telling me , he doesn't care one bit about you , Infact he hates you why are you protecting him?" He says standing up and pushing my chin away in a jerk. He was right , Jalal did hate me but I'm not going to let this man come near Jalal.
Unknown: " after all he said , after all he did that night you're still desperate for him , it's pathetic he could care less if you die ". As he went on , he was right I was desperate for him even he didn't care about me. More over I wanted cry so badly all of the things , he went on it got to a point where I could not hold it in but I bit my lip as hard as I could to stop myself from crying in front of him. " it hurts Jalal".
Flashback ends.
As two days went on , so did the tortures and so did I find out much more . This man he wanted Jalal dead as far as he is concerned, he wanted to murder him with his own hands. This man , was tearing me apart mentally with his words , his rough hands ever so harshly placed on me when he raged. As for me my stomach clenched , my heart felt as if it was filled with ice. I wanted to break down all my defences and cry, but I couldn't I just can't.
Once again , his footsteps echoed through the long corridor this place it seemed as if it was once a mansion. Smell of death was reeking through the walls. The footsteps matched with my own heartbeat , I could hear my pulse in my ears I looked down staring at my bare feet dirtied.
Unknown: ah you're awake again , I've some pleasing news for you ". He says in a mocking manner.
Unknown: " refusing to hear me out , are you now?" He says , as he laughs a greasy laugh.
Unknown: " all right then... Perhaps this will grab your attention... Jalal has returned back to India". I stared down frozen horror as I slowly lift my head to stare at his face who had an ugly grin on his face. " no" I whisper.
Unknown: " oh yes , I pity him he's been devastated by your so called death ,he's desperately looking for you ."
I stare right at , him my breathing became slower and faint.
Unknown: " and here I thought , he would care less about your death but don't get all too welled up in joy , this is advantage for me.. Now he'll stubbornly do anything to get you back now wouldn't he" he says his mouth grinning in such a ugly manner , I knew where he was going with this.He cares for me? It took me a second to realise what he had said after that " please don't" I whisper to him , my voice sounds as if it was rasped with glass. He snakes up to my earlob again " I will kill that bas***d " he says in a gritting tone , he moves again from me and has his head up high.
Jodha: " why.?" I ask him my voice was filled with tears , but I didn't cry even then.
Unknown: " because he deserves death.. " he says in a raspy tone , he turns on his heels and heads back. As he continues walking leaving me in frozen horror, he slight turns around and says " you're loving a murderer " he scoffs in disgust and continues walking.
" murderer?" I sat there like a monument frozen, my breathing became fader by the second.
" murderer?" I whisper again.
