Baji heard the shot too and witnessed it all. For a second, he stopped shooting at Anna and his men. Naku crumpled with a shot to her back...Dutta looked wild-eyed at her, looked into her eyes, in shock. She fell before him, partly on him. As Dutta struggled to hold her, Baji hit Anna's two men...and now it was Anna. Baji rushed to Dutta's side, Dutta staring incomprehensibly...and Baji understood. Baji gently held Naku, speaking with her, keeping her awake.
Dutta chased after Anna in the direction that he fled...an anger swelled in him, and his bloodlust grew. Dutta fired at shot near Anna's feet, missing him. Anna hid behind one of the trees...
"Main nahi chodunga Anna..." Dutta said, shouting, his voice emotional.
"Aaj sub accounts setlle hojayega Dutta..."
Janardhaan ne sai bola tha...apki biwi apse bahut pyar karti hai. Aur aap? Itna gussa, Dutta? Batao, na?"
Dutta fuming, remained focused. Aaj Anna ka akre din tha is duniya mein.
"Aur ap kis type admi ho. Bhao Dutta Sriram Patil. Sub janta hai, na? Aur apka kuch nahi pata. Yeh ladki ne Supriya ko madath kiya? Apka BG ko maara...Supriya aur uska jaan ko chod diya?" Laughs..."Bhao, apke dimaag bahut karab hogaya hain."
Dutta was dumbfounded..
"The great Dutta Bhao ne is ladki ko shazaa diya? Aur voh bechari ap ke raksha karti, pyar kart hai. Kya baat hai?"
"Naku ne apko dhoka nahi diya..apne usko dhoka diya..." Anna laughs more at the irony of it all.
For the second time, Dutta's head began to swim...he felt all the blood flush from his face. And he then caught a faint glimpse of white. He made his way over tree by tree...and then before long, faced Anna, gun drawn. The shootout had begun...and when the smoke had settled, a figure in white lay on the ground, blood exiting his chest. Dutta wanted to make sure Anna would not rise again. He was going to pay for Naku's pain, for his pain...Anna, struggling to catch his breath, said..."Mubarak ho, Bhao. Main aur apki patni saath saath ja rahe hain..apne mere jaan li, mene apki jaan li" Dutta's emotions erupted...his face struggling against the tears swelling in his eyes, his anger...his hatred...his guilt all brewing to the top. He pulled up his gun, aimed it Anna and fired.
Dutta made his way back to Baji and Naku, Anna's words swirling in his head. "Apki patni ne kuch nahi kara.." He saw Baji with Naku. Naku was fading in and out of consciousness, and he quickly ran towards them. Baji looked at Dutta sadly...Naku was losing to much blood.
Dutta tried to wake Naku. She struggled but managed to open her eyes, rouse her consciousness, to see him, to hear him. "Naku...Naku..." Dutta was crying now. As Naku struggled to stay awake, Dutta struggled with his emotions, with his words..."Meri jivan main teri zarurad bahut hai Naku...Tere ko pata hai...bahut zarurad hain...Mein apse bahut pyar karti hu. Baji stared up at him in disbelief...he had finally admitted what Baji knew all along.
More to come...this was my first fan fiction effort. Hope you liked it. Forgive my many misspelling and broken Hindi dialogue.
