Prerna not wanting to delay any further, decides to move closer to the shadows. The wind blows gently on Prernas long hair, as she walked closer and closer. She then stops, as the sound of footsteps were getting nearer to Prerna. Prerna was afraid, and she knew that whatever it was, it wasn't good. She covers for shelter underneath an old battered car, daring not to breathe.
Mans voice: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THEY GOT AWAY?!
Another mans voice: Well they must've left from the back, and they were gone before we could get to them...
Mans voice: WELL YOU BETTER FIND THEM, I CAN'T BELIEVE MUKTI! AND THAT PREM!! Ohh..I'll find them, and when I do...
The mans voice breaks into an evil cackle, savouring his threat, like a piece of chocolate.
Prerna is shell-shocked, and she didn't know what to think, her mind was blank, and her touch was numb, she couldn't even feel her hand resting on the car.
Prerna: Oh my god..all this has happened, and Mukti and Prem are on the run! I must tell Rishabh...and who is this individual?
Another Mans voice: Okay Rohit Saab, I'll go find them.
Rohit: YOU BETTER!
The man leaves, licking over his wounds.
Rohit runs through his hair, and looks up to the sky, and then to where Prerna was. Prerna couldn't even blink, as was as though Rohit was staring into Prernas eyes. Rohit then blinks repeatedly, and leaves into his car. Prerna gets up slowly, and tries to take all this in, her mind already racing with confusion and questions. Prerna then decides to phone Rishabh, and tells him what she heard, she then heads back to her car, and keeps trying for Prems mobile, but no answer.
Prem was running, alongside Mukti. Prem could feel the cold air closing down on him, his wounds still deep, still new. He knew that the end was near, and if they stayed in one place, Rohit would find them. He had never felt so helpless in his life, for the first time, he was terrified, he was missing his Mother India. Mukti was feeling the same, she then looks up at Prem, although he was battered and bruised, she could see someone she once loved, his black hair brushed his face and his eyes fluttered dreamily into the dark unknown. Who was she fooling? everything was over between her and Prem, then why the awkwardness? Mukti notices Prem looking at her, in the corner of his eye.
Prem: We must be getting nearer, I know this friend who owns a flat nearby somewhere.
Mukti: You sure? I mean...
Prem: Trust me, he's a good friend of mine, he will surely help us.
Mukti then hears her mobile ring, they both stop. She then takes out her mobile phone, and it was Prernas!
She looks at Prem for an answer, but his expression was blank, he looked at Mukti seriously. Mutki was so confused, but Prem breaks the silence.
Prem: Answer the phone.
Mukti: Wh..What?
Prem closes his eyes, and opens them again.
Prem: I said, answer the phone, we need the help at the moment, we need everyone on our side.
Mukti: But what about-?
Prem: We'll see that later, and I don't care anymore, just answer the damn phone, before it bloody turns off!
Mukti answers her phone.
Mukti: ...
Prerna: Hello? Hello? Mukti?
Mukti: Cchoti Maa..
Prerna: Look Beta, I know whats going on, don't worry I'm here, please pass the phone to Prem.
Mukti: But Choti Maa, its too dangerous, you don't know Rohit, he can do anything!
Prerna: I UNDERSTAND MUKTI, PLEASE GIVE THE PHONE TO PREM!
Mukti pauses, and gives the phone to Prem.
Prem: ....
Prerna: Prem! you okay? please, please say something!
Prerna gulps, her eyes full of tears.
Prem: I'm okay..just listen-
we're on the run from Rohit and..
Prerna: -Look Prem, I know already, and I've found out something about him! whatever happens Prem, please stay away from Rohit, he's a very dangerous underworld mastermind!
Prem: But we can hide in my friends flat..and-
Prerna: NO PREM! you can't trust anyone at the moment, Rohit has good connections with the police, and he will surely trap both of you! Leave this country, and don't rreturn!
Prernas last words are overpowered with tears.
Prem: ..Who's going to take care of you?
Prerna: DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT ME! JUST GO! I'M SENDING YOU THE TICKETS! I'll text you the address, to where I'll be. Prem, Rohit knows I know you, and he knows that I will be trying to contact and help you! so you must leave!
Before Prem could reply, Prerna cuts the call, there was a moments silence.
Mukti: What is it, what did she say?
Prem: We have to leave this country, Rohit is powered by the underworld, theres no other option.
Mukti: But-we could stop him!
Prem: What do you mean? Of course not! LOOK AT US, AND LOOK AT HIM!
Mukti: ...We can go to Toronto, Canada.
Prem considers this, but answers Muktis idea harshly.
Prem: NO! I'm not going back there, when...
Prem then lowers his gaze, and turns around.
Mukti: Please, Prem. We must try and spread the message to my family, to my mother! They are still under his bad influence, and he knows that my family are extremely covered with power and money, he won't stop. He won't stop killing. He will never forget or forgive.
And because he has the underworld with him, it makes it even more difficult, because they can DO ANYTHING.
Prem doesn't respond to this.
Prem: Well whatever it is, I need to see Mother India.
Mukti: But Prem-
Prem: I don't care, even If I die, I need to see Mother India, for one last time.
Tears flow down Prems cheeks, as Mukti holds on to his arm in an attempt to console, but nothing could stop his emotions. Once again, he was in a tight situation, though he had hated Prerna before, he could not help but break down, knowing that he might never see Prerna again.FONT]
