Antara's POV
Raghu's harsh pull in my hand finally made my sense come back when I noticed the people around me on the road, were watching over raghu dragging me fiercely with him.
"Hey stop it... Kahan le ke jaa rahe hoo mujhe?!! I said in loud voice trying to pull out my hand from his grip though knowing how impossible task was not. He didn't cared at all and kept on pulling my hand. My head was feeling jumbled at all. When some little moment ago he asked me if I was the one who burned those trawlers I was totally shaken from top to bottom. Even in my wildest dream I never imagined that he would guess that. But how?!!...
Ignoring all struggled to get free like always he pulled me inside the garage and moved to the farthest and darkest corner from the entrance where so little light used to come through the entrance. Standing at the middle of broken spare parts, tire tubes, oil and grease mixed smell he threw me harshly at front leaving me finally. Somehow I recovered his extremely powerful push not letting myself to fall flat. I hold around my chest letting out some quick deep breaths to compose my shaking nerves. I didn't get any response from raghu who was standing behind some steps away. There was a nerve chilling silence all around the gloomy garage, the silence before the storm. For the first time I was unable to gather my courage to look back to him. Though I couldn't see his face the vibe I was getting from his side was not at all good. After some breathless silence I finally decided to look back.
I already told that the corner of garage was a bit dark due to the less light approaching to the spot. I found him standing there just some few steps away from me sternly, keeping his one hand inside his pocket. The little light falling on him and made his feature partially visible created a contrast of dark and light. As if he was some demon directly out from the darkness gazing me with his bottomless black eyes which had the darkest look. Within the silence of half dark and half light he looked dangerous and my heart thudded in some unknown worry as I observed that silent approaching danger.
"Yahan kyun laye hoo mujhe?! I asked keeping my voice normal though my voice was a bit dried due to the tensed environment around. I was not intended to reveal that to him.
He breathed deeply not removing his eyes from me as if like composing himself from something. "Tera interview lene ka hain...Itna bara kand joo kar ke ayi hain!! he said with firm voice.
I keep on looking towards his face with great confusion. "What?!! Only this word came out of my mouth. It was unbelievably hard to understand seeing his face that what he is up to actually.
Keeping that firm expression, he stepped forward closing the distance between us as I kept looking towards his emotionless unreadable eyes dumbly.
He stopped in front of me fixing his sharp eyes to me all the time giving me that uneasy feeling. His silence always used to give me alert signal of upcoming danger. Suddenly he dragged out his hands from his pocket and caught my both palms.
"Hey what the... he totally ignored my irritating face and kept on checking my palms with concentration as if he was trying to read my future. His hold was not harsh or strong like always. I could easily drag my palms back from his hold. But his strange odd behaviors was making me so stunned that I rather kept watching towards his face trying to think what he had found so fascinating on my palms?
"Abb yee mat batana ki tum mujhe yahan zabardasti khichke laye hoo sirf mera hath ghoorne key liye!! I couldn't hold anymore and said with irritation.
He lifted his eyes and looked at my face. His eyes were literally gleaming as if he discovered something right the moment. As I looked towards his face with more confusion and annoyance his lips twitched into that signature smirk.
"Yee kharoch ke nishan kidhar se ayein?! he asked suddenly out of blue making me stunned, "Idhar tere ungli pe... he traced his rough fingers on the fingertip of my right palm which was still in his hold. With wide eyes I found a faint scratch on the middle two fingers of my right hand. I remembered that I got cut on that place from the metal piece while I was trying to pierce those diesel canes hanging on the trawler. At the very moment I felt bloods drooping out from my face leaving me frozen, gazing towards those cuts remembering the scenes of two trawlers blowing out on the lake water.
"Tere kalayi ki chot meri wajah se lagi hain yee apun jaanta hain... He kept on looking towards my face with that a** smirk, "Par yee kharoch too apun ke wajah se nahin laga... yee kidhar se ayya miscall?!! his confident words shook me even more. I didn't know what to say and how. I couldn't find any words as my mind totally went in2 numb zone.
"Hath kyun thande par gaye hain tere?! Aisa kya pooch liya apun ne?! he sensed the coldness in my hand. Before the situation went worst I composed myself. No way, I couldn't say that I blew out those terrorists' armed containing trawlers with my own hand.
"Tumse matlab?! Kahin pe bhi chot lag sakti hain.. Tumhe itni curiosity kyuun hain?! I asked keeping my voice calm as much as possible. His smirk vanished but that glow didn't left his eyes. Suddenly to my more doze of confusion he leant down and sat cross-legged near my feat.
"Huh?!! I made a confusion sound looking at this weird guy's caricature hoping for a chance to escape. Some moments he scared me like hell and in next moment he againg made me go back in2 confusion zone.
"Payar dikha tere... Suddenly he caught my ankle with his rough hands giving me a throughout chill in my spine.
"What the?!! I flinched away by his awkward demand, "Tum chahte kya ho?! Kab se bas bakwas batein aur harkat kiye ja rahe ho?! Abb mere payar ne kya bigara hain tumhara? I asked quite angrily.
He looked up contacting my eyes with him. His eyes were reflecting that cold dominating gaze which again gave me alert signal. It indicated me that he meant business. Without shifting away his eyes from me, he again caught my ankle and that time more harshly. I almost shook by that rough touch and squeezed my eyes shut gulping the bitterness. I couldn't get that why the heck I was standing there like a fool without going out from the place throwing air to all of his weird attitude and dominance. But also my sane mind knew very well that he was adamant to know something serious and he wouldn't let me go until he got his answer. I opened my eyes after taking a deep breath and found him observing my foot. Just in few seconds that victorious smirk was back in his eyes as he again looked up to me with more confidence and approval in his expression. I knew what he must have been observed; the glass cut marks which I got in that fateful night in ware house. My head boiled and I tried to free my leg from his grip giving a jerk. But he understood that instantly and caught around the leg more tightly when I tried to give a jerk on my leg. Without affecting him anyhow that jerk made me miss my balance instead. I was about to fall when his hand quickly left my leg and caught around my tummy saving me from fall.
Argh!! Not again... my all nerves got jerked feeling his harsh powerful hold again. I quickly freed myself from his hold and composed myself. His a** smirk was still there which was annoying me more and more.
"Kya hain?! Aisa kaya dekh liya tumne mere payar mein?!... I knew but still I couldn't stop myself from asking. In answer he twitched his head side wise and let out that nasty irritating grin. He was really testing my patient at the moment.
"Tere koo bahut jyada chot lagti hain naa miss call?! Kabhi hath pe, kabhi payar pe... kabhi kalayi pe?! Dinbhar kushti larti hain kya?! there was clear sarcasm in his voice as he spoke to me.
"Tumhe kya?! Main kushti karti hoon ki boxing its totally my matter mister!! Tumhe in sab ke barein mein poochne ki koi haq nahin hain!! I warned him in hard voice. Rather than getting angry his nasty grin increased more as if my anger was just an entertaining factor to him.
"S**A!!!... his sarcastic laugh came out loud hitting my ear hard, he rubbed his hairs like crazy as if he was shocked by something unbelievable. "Maan gaye bappa... Kya item banaya hain tune!!!...sutli bomb bole to bhi kam hi, atom bomb hain atom bomb... S**a fat ti hain to dusro ki band baja deti hain!!.. his sarcastic mockery full word was clearly indicated to me.
"Are you crack?! Tum pagal hoo kya?!! I asked indicating to my own head with index finger indicating if he had really gone mad. My patience level was on verge to break. I was staying silent for all the moment cause whatever he helped me so much during satya's matter. But it seemed like I have been enough good for a person like him.
"Aisa dhamaka karti rahegi naa yedi too apun kuchi dino baad yeda ban jayega... Sach bata... Kaise kiya tune yee sab?!!... pure sahar mein lafra ho gaya uss dhamake ke baad se... kaun kya kya nahin soch raha hain... s**a kis ko pata sare kand ke piche joo hain woo idhar hain... his sarcastic laugh was having an edge of amusement. The worry was clearly felt in my pounding heart. How the hell he doubted that I was behind that trawler blast. Seeing his confidence I guessed that he was almost sure about the fact. I held back my breath and tried to be steady. I had to know that how much truth he had come upon with.
"Dekho tumhari batein mujhe kuch samajh nahin aa rahi hain... I said firmly, "Aur agar mere harkatoon se tumhe itni problem hoo rahi hain ki tum pagal ban rahe ho then why don't you just avoid me. Door raho mujhse and problem solved...
His sarcastic grin changed into that impish a** victory smirk. "Tere ko pata hain... He said looking towards me with a gaze that contained mockery as well as an odd softness, "Raghunath Naik ne aajtak bas do logon ke agey apna sar jhukya hain.. ek mai... aur dusra aaj tere saamne... his husky voice chilled my nerves with danger indication, "abb kya karein...tune kaam hi kuch aisa kiya hain... s**a apun ka dimag hila huya hain abhitak... kiya kaise tune yee sab?!...s**a tu bewakoof hain ki tere dimag ke sare screw dhila hain?!!
"Bandh karo apni bakwas okk?!!... sidhe sidhe batate nahin ki tum kya chahte hoo?! Dekho waisey hi mujeh late hoo raha hain.. Issi liye tum agar apni yee betuki harkat continue karne wale hoo too I'm not interested...Sorry!! I said quite loudly and was about to move my feet but suddenly he jumped up and blocked my way.
"Apun bakwas nahin kar raha hain yee tu jaanti hain... aur itni kamakal too nahin hain ki tere ko sidhe se naa boloon to samajh nahin ayega... waisey bhi jalebi dimag koo jalebi batein hi jyada pasand atta hain. He uttered making a face.
I just stayed quite in irritation. I was seriously tired of quarreling with that stubborn head. I just wanted to move out of the place as soon as possible.
"Thik hain...Sidhe sidhe poochta hoon... unn trawlers pe tune aag lagayi thi... hain naa?! the way he asked with so much confidence, it felt like he already knew the answers. His sharp gaze piercing into my eyes shook me immensely.
"kaunse trawlers?!... my voice trembled badly unable to hide the fear inside me of getting caught.
"Nautanki mat kar... Pure sahar ko pata hain aur tujhe pata nahin hogaa yee kaise hoo sakta hain.. Parsoo raat khayi mein joo dhamaka huya tha woo tune kiya tha na?!... Tune hi unn dono trawlers pe aag lagayi hain naa?!... he asked me straight at the moment. I kept on watching silently to his demanding expressions. Somehow I made my heart calm and got over my fear. It wouldn't help anything.
"Tum pagal ho kya?!.. Tumhe kya lagta hain ki woo trawler blast ke piche main hoon?!..Come on, look at me...Main ek akeli larki unn dono trawlers koo... I laughed a bit, "Waisey tumhari imagination kafi achi hain!!Par Mr tumhari inn baton ko koi nahin manega.. I said with a smirk.
"Koi mane yaa na mane par apun manta hain... his confidence didn't shook a bit by my casual denial, "Tere jagah pe koi aur larki hoti naa too apun nahin manta... Par mere koo achi tarah se pata hain ki tu aur tera yee tera dimag... he slightly stroke my side forehead with his index finger, "Kis level tak soch sakta hain... Tu udhar ananya aur unn bacho koo samjah rahi thi pani mein aag kaise lagate hain diesel daal ke... Aur bilkul ussi tarah se udhar beach pani mein woo dono trawlers udd gaye... Bilkul wohi tareeka apnaya tha naa tune?!... Pani mein diesel mila diya?!... Kaise kiya tune yee sab?! Hmm... his stern words again lowered my steadiness a bit. I had to take another deep breath to continue.
"Acha?!... Pani mein aag lagane kaa yee tareeka sirf mujhe nahin bahut sare logon koo pata hain. And BTW tum kaise kahe sakte hoo ki pani mein aag lagaya gaya tha aur waisye dono trawlers udd gaye... tum wahan the kya uss raat? Nahin naa?!! I asked with stern voice.
"Apun nahin tha... par aur log too the, itna bara dhamaka huya too kaise chupta logon se... tewari ji ne unke bayan ke barein mein bataya apun koo.. unlogon ne apne khulle akhon se dekha tha ki pani mein aag lag gaya tha aur jis aag ki wajah se woo dono trawlers udd gaye... udhar khayi ke pani mein diesel mila hain unn logon koo..woo commissioner Samsher Khan ko bhi shaq hain ki pani mein kissi ney jaan boojh ke diesel milaya tha... aur kuch sun na hain tujhe?! his voice was turning harsher due to my continuous denial and I could feel his face expression getting harder but I was not at all ready to give up yet.
"Acha?!! Police kab apni confidential batein ek gundey criminal ke sath share karne lagey.. I said with a quite mocked voice.
"Eee!!... he made a harsh frustrated face, "Idhar Mumbai mein naa unn police logon se apun gundey logon kaa network jyada acha hain. Unkey bahut agey apun logon ko pata chal jata hain ki kidhar kya hoo raha hain...aur mere koo yaad hain jis raat blast huya tha tu uss raat ghar pe nahin thi... maine tujhe apni akhon se dekha tha char baje tereko uss larke ke sath choro ki tarah basti ke andar ghuste huye... dekh miss call.. bekar mein time waste mat kar... apun ke samne tera bhanda phoot chukka hain to sidhe sidhe maanle ki yee sare kaand tune kiya hain... his voice turned utterly mad and angry at the time.
"Acha?!... EK baat batao... Tum kaise bata sakte hoo ki main uss raat wahan thi jahan pe blast huya tha?!.. Yaad hain kaal subha naik sadan ke chat pe jab tumne mujhe unn sari ghatiya baton se accuse kiya tha tab too tum sure the ki main Parth ke sath thi puri raat... My voice chocked again remembering his horrible accusation, "Pata nahin kitne sare ghatiya batein socha tha tumne mere barein mein. Aur abb tum bata rahe hoo ki woo trawlers blast ke piche main hoon?!!... then what is the truth actually mr?!...Main ek sath dono jagah pe too nahin rahe sakti naa?!... Haan...batao?!!.. I said loudly on his face. He was silently listening to my frustrated voice. When I stopped finally I observed his utterly dark unreadable eyes observing me and I got the alert signal. Suddenly in a flash he grabbed my both arms tightly dragging me harshly, closer to him. His burning eyes shook me like hell and dried my mouth.
"Kyun ki mere koo pata chal jata hain jab tu apun ke aas pass raheti hain!!... with firm dangerous husky voice he stated those words looking straight inside my wide eyes which was looking towards his face just inches apart from me. His tight grab restricted me to move but his eyes were enough to paralyze me.
"Uss din bhi huya tha jab apun ne mai ke kamre mein ghusa tha aur tu bed ke niche chupi thi... aur uss raat koo bhi huya tha jab apun dumping ground mein gaya tha kakka se milne... ussi raat ko to blast huya tha naa miss call?!... Mere koo itna karara signal kabhi nahin mila tha... aisa lag raha tha ki tu apun ke bahut pass hain!!... Itne pass ki apun tere koo choo sakta hain!!... his stern words made me almost paralyzed. I couldn't understand that if he was serious. How could he know that I was around him?! how?!!... Yes, I was exactly there on the place, hiding on the taxi's dickey and he was standing there supporting that taxi while I was praying hard with my shaking nerve not to be caught by his predator senses. So he actually felt me there like always!! As I remembered those uncanny, nerve chilling moments my heart pounded more and more in fear of getting exposed to his eyes again. He was in verge to know another secret of mine and I was unable to hold it anymore. Everything was like slipping out of my hand like the sand.
"Tu udhar thi na miss call?! Woo dumping ground too blast ke area se bahut pass hain. Tu udhar kahin thi naa... Sayad tune apun ko dekha bhi tha udhar aur mere se chup rahi thi... Kyun?! Sahi kahan na apun ne?! he asked again with that same confidence blended with husky voice. Unable to answer him back I just kept on gazing towards his dominating gaze with paralyzed expression.
As he observed my face with a little moment of silent that impish smirk came back in my face. As if he got his all the answer in my fearful face. "Maan le miss call... mere see nahin jeet payegi tu...maan le...
That single line of him brought back my lost senses and courage. Someone screamed deep within me mock fully, "Shame on you Antara Kaul!! You vowed you won't get defeated by your enemies and you are just getting nervous in front of his dominating attitude?!! You shouldn't even take oath to punish your parent's killer. He is right; you won't be able to defeat him if you get intimated by him like that. That voice was enough to clear the numb cloud in my mind. My jaw hardened and I looked back to his stern face with determined eyes.
"Nahin!!! I said in firm voice causing his face turning annoyed.
"Rassi jal gayi fir bhi gant nahin khuli... he said making a face giving a slight push and letting me go out of his hold, "S**a akar nahin jati teri kabhi... itna kuch bola phir bhi zid pakar ke khari hain!!
"Meri zid meri takat hain mr... itni jalddi kaise chor sakti hoon... I said with a slight smile, "Chahein tum kitna bhi explanation kyun naa do... mere mooh se tum haan' kabhi nahin sunogey. Main nahin manoogi ki main unn trawlers blast mein involved hoon chahein tum joo chaheein kar lo... I made him know clearly that he wouldn't get my confession of crime so soon. He kept on staring towards me with stern gaze. Even I didn't removed my eyes and kept my eyes fixed to his making him know that I was not afraid of him. I slowly moved forward leaving him behind. He didn't stop me and kept standing on his place. After some 2-3 steps a big curiosity stuck me and I couldn't stop myself to ask. I stopped abruptly and looked back and found him staring towards me still with hard expression.
"EK baat mujhe samajh nahin aa rahi hain... I asked with a frown, "Maine woo blast kiya hain yaa nahin iss barein mein jaan ke tum kya karoge haan?! Tumhe kya farak parta hain mere involvement se?! Mujeh aisa kyun lag raha hain jaise unn trawlers mein joo kuch bhi tha yaa joo log the unke sath tumhara koi connection hain... aur unlogon ke maut ke liye tum mujhe accuse kar rahe hoo... sahi kahan na maine?! I just wanted to see how he would react on my question.
"Bakwas bandh kar... his face turned utterly frustrated. "Apun kaa koi mama kaka nahin tha uss trawler pe joo unke liye teri batein sun ke apna sardard karega. Tujhe pata hain mere koo kyun farak parta hain. Tu s**a ajib sample hain... Apna akal laga ke tu unn dono trawelers ko uda sakta hain par itni samajh nahin hain ki tere iss kartoot ki wajah se tereko kitni bari musibat aa sakti hain... Log kya kahe rahe hain yee too pata hain tujhe... uss trawlers pe terrorists ka maal jaa raha tha... agar unn logon koo zara bhi pata chala too meri tarah teri bhasan nahin sunengey woo log sidha udhar chati pe goli chalake bappa ke pass transfer kar dengey. He said with mad voice.
"Aisey kahe rahe hoo jaisey tumhe meri bahut fikar hain!!... I couldn't stop myself to mock.
"S**a yahich to problem hain... he said making a face. "Apun koo adat hain naa free mein help karne kii aur agar baat teri hoo too... His last words again gave me that unknown chill. However I got over that in instant.
"Rahene do tumhari betuki batein... Mere body guard naahin hoo tum joo mere safety ke liye itney worried hogey.. Nahin chahiye tumhari help samjhey? Mere madad karne ke liye mere bhagwan ji hain! I said in annoyance.
"Acha?!! Too aaj tak tere bhagwan ji bacha rahe hain tujhe?!... List doon tere ko?!...Office ke bahar jab woo truck tujhe papad bana ne aa raha tha... yaad kar... Jab wo shetty ka gunda tujhe train mein acid maarne ayya tha, jab tu naik sadan ke andar raat ko choro ki tarah ghus rahi thi aur kakka tujhe pakarne wala tha, tujhe kaal subha naik sadan ke chat pe meri karwi batein yaad hain par yee yaad nahin ki jab tu chant se niche kund ke jaan dene wali thi tab tujhe roka kisne tha?!!... Aur haan ek taza entry bataoon list mein... Aaaj subha jab satya tere ko maarne aa raha tha... Tab kahan the tere woo bhagwan ji? Bachane ayein the tujhe? His loud voice hit me hard in core reminding me again about the bitter truth that a big part of my life owed to my biggest enemy.
He slowly came near to me with slow steps keeping his firm gaze on me. "Bappa direct nahin ate hain idhar, kya hain naa udhar se idhar ane kaa koi direct road nahin bana hain abtak... issi liye apun logon ko hi ek dusre ki madad karneka hain.. Maine jitni baar tere koo bachaya hain naa utni baar musibat mein tu khud jaa ke fasi thi... aur mere koo abhi se signal mil raha hain ki kahin iss baar tu phir se problem mein parne wali hain... aur agar iss baar apun sahi time pe tujhe bacha nahin paya too... His voice suddenly stopped. I didn't know why my heart was skipping beat with his every word. Raghu and his mode swing was the great puzzle to understand. In the morning when he told me that he helped me just because of the deal we made I felt it was much easier to digest. I truly couldn't take that sudden mysterious concern of him as it all time left me with a deep scratch of having debt on my parent's killer.
"Too madad mat karo meri... Please!!!... I literally begged him, "main tumhari koi apni too hoon nahin... tum khood kahete hoo ki main tumhare life ki sabsey bari sardard hoon... too kyun iss sardard ke liye apna waqt barbaad kar rahe ho? tumhe mujhe madad karke koi gold medal to nahin milega aur naa hi mujhe koi khusi milegi ek criminal ki help le ke...Then Fine!!...Chod do mujhe mere haal pe... Joo hoga woo main khud samhaal loongi!! I said aloud.
"Acha?!Khud samhal legi?! his face became utterly frustrated and angry, "Thik hain... Aaj se apun tere koo kabhi help nahin karega... Tujhe koi bhi musibat ayein apun koo joi farak nahin parega... Mere se koi madad ki ummed mat rakhna... samjhi?!
"Thank you!!... I am really great full to you for sparing me... I said with loud voice and turned back to leave. Honestly I had enough of him and his help service!! My head was totally aching due to annoyance and anger. I didn't understand that why couldn't he live without messing me. Well it was good for me that I managed to cover up the trawler blast matter and he also got confirmation that he wouldn't be interrupting my life or helping me anymore. I could think with sane mind at last.
"Agli baar problem mein fasegi to mere koo aas pass mat dhoondna... his irritating voice hit my ear while going out of garage. Greeting my teeth to gulp my frustration I moved out of garage with quick pace going as far as possible from him.
