Chapter 2

Moonlight

The 'shehenai's music and the pleasing rituals of the wedding had spell bounded everyone so badly that no one noticed that something was wrong. That one of the girls amongst the dancers was not actually a dancer. Behind the long rajasthani 'ghunghat'' was a reporter carrying out her sting operation.

David, her cameraman and a very close friend didn't want her to go alone but she was adamant.

So there she was ready to unmask the actually face of the woman who acts like a saint but asks for dowry instead. The activist who claims to be every girl's well-wisher is actually the biggest evil herself.

Amaya was now hiding in the closet in the room where Vasundhara devi was compelling the bride's father to give her more money. It was all captured in her camera but the trouble occurred when unwillingly she made a noise and Vasundhara opened the door of the closet. She was caught!

Both the ladies kept on staring at each other but then amaya pushed her really hard and ran out of the window.

'Oi ladko jaldi jao uss ladki ke piche uske haath mein camera tha jao jaldi'

Amaya kept on running with 5-6 men behind her. She was not afraid of her life but she knew if she got caught the whole operation will fail. Soon she found an under construction building. She went inside followed by the goons. She soon reached the fifth floor in search for a hiding place and she found one. She hid behind the edge wall. It only had enough space for her to sit even if she straightened her leg it would be in open air.

'Dhond uss ladki ko aur agar milei tou baal khicke bahar le ana''

she held her breathe and closed her eyes. She could hear some footsteps getting closer. She stop breathing and held the camera tightly.

no no no...

Suddenly she could hear noises as if someone was fighting.

she slowly turned her head and looked through the hole in the wall.

infront of her eyes was a figure around 6 feet tall broad chest wearing a black shirt. Soon he punched one of the goons who came near him and one by one he beat all of them.

yeh superman kaun hai??

She was in a fix and had no idea what was going on. Amaya stood up and slowly came out from behind the wall. All the goons were lying on the floor. Amaya was facing his back.

'Excuse me??'' he turned half. She rubbed the sweat from her forehead and started heading towards him. She didn't know him but somewhere she knew he was safe

She was now standing just one hand away from him.

'kaun ho tum??''

The guy was about to turn but just then one of the goons rose from the back and was about hit him.

'tumhare piche...'' Screamed amaya.

and abruptly he just turned and held the rod. However the goon gave him such a hard push that he lost his balance and he fell backward and along with amaya he fell on the wooden pulley lift.

Amaya clutched his shirt tightly and buried her face against his chest. HE, grabbed her waist with one hand making sure she stays safe and with the other hand held the lift tightly. After rapidly falling from the fifth floor it came to a halt.

Everything was silent. Even the wind was careful about making noise the only sound present there was the heartbeats.

Her veil was flying in the wind and soon it flew away. Amaya slowly lifted her head.

The moonlight had taken them in its protection separating them from the surrounding darkness and with that little light she could see his face but it wasn't clear to her cause her head was all dizzy and then she went unconscious. But to Ridwan her face was clear. He had held her head with his other hand...carefully as if she was a new born baby and yes she was...she was that innocent. Her face had the same peace as that of a new born child. He kept staring . With the gentle care Ridwan slowly rested her head back against his chest.
