Part 21
RK was sitting at the table pretending to Make routes for Sultan's men. What he actually thought was how to kill Sultan. Now that Sultan knows about him, he surely won't come out of his protection. He just had to get to him and then Sultan would be history.
Roaming about in the mansion searching for him was not even an option because the moment he moves from his chair, Sultan would know. Sikky was in confinement and Madhu was in captivity. It was only him who was offered a little amount of freedom. He was not able to understand how he could reach Sultan. The only chance to reach him was to do what he had asked from him. Only then there was a possibility that Sultan would meet him. He focused on mapping the new routes.
After about 5 hours RK stood up. He looked above at the camera. "I know Sultan, you are watching over me.. The work you said is done. I now want to meet Madhu."RK said that intentionally as he knew if he asked to see him then Sultan would suspect him.
Sultan who was sitting in his room looking at the screen, smirked hearing him. He was impressed with RK that he knew Sultan would himself be watching him. He was impressed that RK believed in having a one to one contact with him rather than making any of his men as mediators. That showed that he didn't consider himself any lesser than Sultan in any way.
Aftersome time Bhatia entered the room where RK was.
"I have come to collect the map.." Bhatia said as he unpinned the map from the table.
"I thought Sultan would take it.." RK said trying to act calm.
"He doesn't trust you traitors anymore.." Bhatia said making a disgusted face.
Rk laughed sarcastically at him. "Do you believe that?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"what's there to not believe.." Bhatia shrugged.
"come On.. You are not so naive to believe that he is not afraid to come in front of me now.. That's why he sent you as a bait.. Even if I attack it's on you." RK said shrugging.
"maybe you are right.. But you see it doesn't really affect me that he is scared of you or not.. Either way I work for him.. " Bhatia shrugged and walked off.
Rk looked at the camera above and laughed slightly as if making fun of Sultan, who was sitting in his room now frowning as he stared at the screen ahead. He didn't like being called afraid and specially that his men might doubt his invincibility.
Bhatia came in and kept the map on the table. He was about to walk off when Sultan called him from behind. "He is so too over confident to believe that I am scared of him..." he said with a sarcastic laugh.
"yea.. He must be too self obsessed.. But then with powers like those anybody would feel like that.." Bhatia said with an appreciating look.
Sultan looked at him for a few seconds and then smiled shrugging off. After Bhatia walked away, Sultan sat on his couch. This wasn't a good sign. His most trusted man talking of RK in appreciation. He had made this empire with the help of fear. But if those men who fear him come to believe that Sultan is afraid of some one, it would only bring harm to his position. He thought of some way to hit RK's position.
Madhu was sitting in her confinement room when she heard heavy firm foot steps. She looked ahead only to find Sultan standing outside the bars.
"You look beautiful even in jail.." Sultan said with a sarcastic laugh.
"Well.. You should come here more often so you get used to these bars. After all its going to be your future, right?" Madhu asked him faking innocence.
"Ouch.. That hurt.." Sultan held his chest.
"If you dare then come inside.. I will show you what hurt is.." she said angrily.
"you know I gave you a lot of chances that you change your mind and come to me but.." Sultan said acting disappointed.
"you know I gave you so many chances that you change your heart and come to the right path.. But you are too deep in the sea of crime and evil that you can hardly see the shore.. " Madhu interrupted him.
Sultan laughed heartily hearing her. "you are very stubborn Madhubala.. And you are rather interesting now.. Almost desirable.. Once I finish with this then it would really be fun to deal with you then.."
"you will never succeed.." Madhu said with a smirk.
"and I believe your confidence rests on RK.. The superman you brought..?" he asked raising his eyebrows leaving a dumb struck Madhu who stared at him shocked.
"well.. Seems like it's all in vain.. Rishabh Kundra is on my side now.. The one you brought to defeat me is the one heading my mission now.." sultan said in arrogance.
"that's impossible!" came out of her mouth
"he loves you more than his duty or his country.. He has traded himself for your life.. And I think it's a wise decision.." Sultan said smilimg at her and then walked off laughing.
Madhu fell to the ground hearing that. Her RK couldn't do that.. He can't just let so many innocent people die just to ensure his personal gain.
Rk sat in his room. He was frustrated now as he felt stuck up. And every opportunity that he had got in past to kill Sultan now seemed like mocking him in the face. How he wished he had acted upon his instincts instead of trying to find the right way. And now he was stuck up. Madhu and Sikky were captives and he was no less than that. Any unprecedented move from his side and Sultan would get suspicious. He can't risk it now knowing that Sultan can harm Sikky and Madhu. Just then he heard a knock at the door. He stood up to find Bhatia at the door. "Sultan wishes to see you " he said .
It made RK hopeful that he might very well have the chance now, he walked with Bhatia hoping for chance. As soon as he entered the hall behind Bhatia, his hopes were drowned. Sultan sat in the thick glass cabin again. Even if he tries to break through it, and as it seems the glass doesn't give away, then his last and only chance would be wasted amounting not only to their lives and freedoms but also the lives of the hundreds of innocent people. RK stood in front of Sultan trying to act confident.
"well I saw the map and I must say I am quite impressed. Now the next thing I want you to do is inform the RAW about the positions.." sultan said with an evil smile.
"what?" RK asked confused getting side tracked of his own thoughts.
"yeah the positions you had planned earlier. tell them about those so that they concentrate themselves at those places while we target these areas." he finished as rk looked at him with disgust. How satisfied he was with himself in killing so many people. Not a hint of hurt or remorse.
"why do you want to do that Sultan? You have a fortune here.. And those innocent people have nothing to do with you.. What would you get in killing them..?" he finally managed to ask not able to hold back anymore.
"you are right.. I have no grudge against those people.. They don't even know me and neither do I know them.. It's the government, the police and the system that I want to take revenge from.. It's sad those people have to be the ones to pay the price.. But you see, ants are crushed in elephants' battle.." Sultan said shrugging without a hint of remorse.
That made RK decide even more strongly that this person deserves to die and there shouldn't be any remorse for him too. RK was looking here and there in an attempt to control his anger when his attention was caught by the huge chandler on the roof which was just above the glass cabin of Sultan. And as RK observed further there wasn't any roof on top of the cabin. A winning smile played in his lips as he looked back at Sultan who looked at him confused.
"I understand why you hide behind that cabin Sultan.. You are clearly scared of me.." RK said with a sarcastic smile.
"it's not fear RK, it's precaution.." he replied.
"but justice has its way.. Some or the other.." RK said confidently.
"what do you mean?" he asked back confused.
RK looked above and concentrated on the hook of the chandler. Sultan looked above and his eyes widened in shock as if looking at his doom. "stop!!" he screamed. But before his men could take a step to hold RK, he concentrated with all his might as a beam emitted through his eyes and in the mere next 10 seconds the weakest point gave off and the hook gave away as the chandler fell on Sultan. All four of the men stared at the now fallen chandler. Two of them ran to get hold on RK but he lifted himself off the ground.
"what will you fight for now? And anybody who dares to act smart, I will kill you in the most brutal way.." RK roared at them. They stood there scared to see this side of RK. And even scared to imagine what he could do with those powers. "I could have killed this man the very first day but I am not him.. I don't casually justify murder.. But he deserves nothing less than that.."
After five minutes RK was running in the corridor as the four men sat peacefully while tied down on the chairs. They were scared to even make a move lest RK might know due to his super sixth sense. Well, that wasn't his power but RK decided to say that so they won't create a problem while he rescues Madhu and Sikky. He was scared for then now. He ran down the stairs in the maximum speed he could until he reached the basement. He kept searching in all the cells unless he found Sikky in one of them. He pushed the door with all his strength and it gave way.
Sikky looked at him shocked. "you are back?" he asked delighted.
"where is Madhu?" he asked hastily turning back.
"she is in the last room" Sikky said running behind him.
RK ran to the room and pushed the door open. Madhu looked up at him shocked as RK heaved a sigh of relief. He walked forward in a relaxing pace as if not able to hold onto his legs any more. He walked closer to her while taking deep breaths of relief. He threw himself onto her as soon as he reached her pulling her close to himself. Madhu hugged him back. She was about to burst into tears when she remembered Sultan 's words and RK standing here means that he did what Sultan told him to. She immediately parted away from him and slapped him across the face while RK looked at her startled.
"You traitor!!" she spat the words as she held his collar in anger. "How can you sell your soul for this? Don't you have conscience? Or your love was above the lives of your own countrymen..? And did you think I would happily melt in your arms, just because you saved me?!" she screamed as she pushed him away.
"I told you RK.. Madhu mam would never approve of it.. You might have saved us but at the stake of our country.." Sikky said with sad tone. While Madhu stood leaning at the wall crying.
Rk looked at the two of them with a defeated gaze. He took in a deep breath. "All my life I never made friends because I could never open up my real self and I believe in total loyalty and truthfulness in friendship. So I rather stayed away from people than being a friend who would lie about his true self.. After years I was able to reveal my real self and that gave me the opportunity to make friends with no lies around. The two people whom I regarded and loved as the only friends in my entire life, now stand here and suspecting me.. No.. Not even suspecting but believing that I have done such a horrendous crime.." RK said with a slight laugh.
Madhu and Sikky looked at him confused.
"Anyways.. You both are free to go now.." RK said looking away and walked out of the room.
Sikky and Madhu looked at each other, both unable to say a word.
They came out of the room and saw RK walking ahead. "Rishabh.." Madhu called to him this time softly.
"Just walk closely for now.. There can be danger here.." RK said in a clipped tone and both of them followed him.
Once they reached upper floor, they saw the chaos. Men were running about, some were confused while others were scared. As soon as the saw RK, they stopped and stepped away expecting him to attack.
"I don't want to hurt any of you.." RK said in a strong voice.
"You killed Sultan, he is lying in a blood pool in the room.. What the hell are you?" one of them screamed.
Madhu's eyes went wide hearing him and she sharply turned towards RK.
"He deserved to die and don't compel me to decide that for you too.." RK said angrily.
As Madhu was looking at RK, she saw a man point a gun at RK from the other side. She immediately pushed RK below and leaped at him kicking the gun off his hand. The next second all three of them were involved in a combat with men around. The men threw themselves at them while they blocked and kicked them. The fight continued for a good ten minutes when RK decided to use his powers anyway. He ran in his supersonic speed as he beat the men. Soon all of them were down on the ground, and they took a sigh of relief.
During the next hour the police and the officials from Indian embassy were roaming about in the mansion gathering proofs of the crime that was being planned there. All the people are held in custody. Madhu gave them all the files and related resources that she had discovered in the 9 month long stay.
After some time RK was sitting in his room as he stared out of the big glass window into the sky. Madhu stood at the door confused how to talk to him, she couldn't get the courage to face him after accusing him of such a crime when in reality he saved all of them. Sikky tried to boost her up showing her a thumbs up.
She took in a deep breath, and walked ahead. She sat beside RK and held his shoulder. RK frowned feeling her hand and jerked his shoulder. She got off and knelt in front of RK holding his knee.
"Rishab.. I am sorry." she said with tears in her eyes. "I should have trusted you.. But the situation was such that I just couldn't think straight.. "
"yeah so you thought that I would join hands with Sultan, and kill all those innocent people..?" RK asked angrily.
"I am sorry Rishabh, but the things were so.. We all know that you didn't join RAW by will but were forced into it.. So the stupid part of my mind thought that... "
"that I took the easy way out and decided to betray my country..?" RK asked looking at her menacingly, by now Sikky was standing inside the room though at a distance.
"I don't know why you people in defence think that only you can be patriots.. Granted I was a normal citizen and that I didn't want to be a part of RAW but that doesn't make me a traitor.. Even if I had not been here I would never even think of it.. Would rather give my life to save it.. And both of you just thought I would surrender to such a horrific crime..?" RK asked this time in a softer but hurt tone.
Madhu and Sikky looked down.
"Madhu you stayed with me for so long.. We shared a bond which we both thought was love and you misunderstood me? And even you Sikky.. We have been friends since 9 months.. I confided in you all my fears and strengths.."
"I am sorry RK.. But that was the very reason I misunderstood you.. I had seen your restlessness and pain without Madhu mam.. I thought you have faced the pain of staying away from her and maybe won't risk it now.." Sikky said pursing his lips in nervousness.
"You are right Rishabh. It's the second time I am sitting guilty in front of you . Asking your forgiveness.. I pulled you in this world and then I judged you on hear say.. I don't deserve you.." she said as she closed her eyes in pain. "Last time I was able to defend myself saying that it was my duty but this time I have nothing to say.. Just that I am sorry again.. I won't ever disturb you... Good bye.. " she looked in his eyes and ascended kissing his cheek as a tear rooled down her cheek. She stood up and walked out of the room as RK kept sitting there, head turned away.
"Do I need to say or you will go behind her yourself..?!" Sikky almost screamed.
"It's all because of you!" RK shouted standing up.
"What?" he asked back.
"if you hadn't been standing here I would have kissed the hell out of her long back.." RK said as he ran out of the door.
Sikky turned to the door with a confused look as he tried to comprehend what he said, then he broke into a laugh shaking his head, finally relieved that everything was back to being great.
Madhu was walking along the corridor as she wiped her tears. RK's hard face kept coming back to her again and again,each time breaking her heart even more. Suddenly she felt a pull on her arm and the next second she was facing RK who was just an inch away from her face.
"It's not you, who will decide your own punishment.. "RK said in a husky voice as Madhu stared at him, words lost somewhere between her mind and tongue.
"Your punishment is that you are enslaved for life under me.." RK whispered in her ear sending goosebumps down her whole body.
Madhu closed her eyes as she melted in that chilling warmth.
"So.. Speak up.. Do you agree?" he said with a naughty smile.
That alone felt quite a punishment to Madhu, to find words and then delivering those through her tongue. She nodded her head vigorously deciding on the easy way out.
Rk shook his head with a smirk. "Speak up or I won't take you or forgive you.."
Madhu cursed him in her thoughts. Seemed like this was another of his super power having that effect on her.
"That would be the most beautiful punishment.." she said trying to control her erratic breathing.
Rk smirked at her as he bent forward taking her lips in his. They engaged into a passionate kiss in no time as RK claimed every bit of her soul.
After a few minutes they heard Sikky coughing at a distance. They parted immediately turning to Sikky, who pointed to the other side of the hallway, where an official from Dubai police stood. Sikky walked towards them putting up a smile as Madhu and RK looked here and there in nervously.
"At least it was just me in the room" Sikky mumbled through the corner of his mouth.
RK looked at him angrily.
"am.. Agent RK.. I wanted to ask you.. How were you able to kill Sultan.. As the witnesses have a really tricky explanation..." he asked baffled.
"amm.. I think the agency will answer to that.." RK said as he looked at Madhu and Sikky enquiring if he was saying correct and the two nodded their heads.
"but it was you who was here.. Then how would the agency know..?" the official asked even more confused.
"no but it's like they know what happened.. " RK said trying to find words as the officer looked at him baffled.
"actually" Madhu intervened. "we are not authorised to give any statement on our own. The agency will issue a proper statement to you. Until they decide we can't disclose matters on our own.." she completed.
"ok.. Very well.. The statements by those four men are very bizarre actually.. Anyways.. Thanks for your help.. You all did a great job here and we are able to get rid of such a criminal.. Anyways.. Good to meet you.." he said extending his hand to them. He shook hands with all three of them. He was about to walk off when he turned back. "sorry to disturb you.." he said with an embarrassed smile. Sikky was about to burst into a laugh but pursed his lips. Madhu looked here and there while RK smiled back nervously.
As he went away, all three of them burst into a good laugh. As the laughter did down, Sikky held RK's Shoulder. "Sorry dude.." He said.
Rk smiled back and hugged him happily as Madhu smiled happily seeing them.
"So, do you think we should form a pack of our own.. Like in those Superhero movies...? " Sikky said excitedly as they walked out of the building.
RK smiled seeing him. He was behaving that way after a long time, and he felt good as he realised that they were finally relieved after a long time.
"We may.." Madhu said running seriously.
RK shook his head at them.
"yeah that would be great.. We can even name ourselves.. " Sikky said getting even more happy that his idea was being considered .
"yeah.. Like Sikky's soldiers?" RK asked pretending to be thinking hard.
"ooohhh that would be like awesome.. But man.. I don't want to grab all the lime light you see.. " he said being humble.
RK gave him an appreciating look while Madhu controlled her laugh as the three of them walked on the street in a confident stride ready to face anything that comes tha way now.
