Part 19
Khushi sat on the bed away from Panther,glaring at him,while he was enjoying his food "Take a picture..it'll last longer" he said all of a sudden.
Khushi frowned at him "I would but I don't have any sort of device in my hand right now"
Panther chuckled "Now you know how I feel"
"You deserve to be here..I don't.In fact it's because of you I am stuck here"
Panther nodded "I don't regret it at all" He put the empty tray on the floor "So what do you want to do?"
"Wait for someone to come" Khushi said standing up and going up to the bars.She looked around and sighed when she didn't see anyone.
Panther followed her and stood directly behind her and leaned towards her.He whispered "Let's do something together" Khushi pursed her lips.Turning around she stomped on his foot hard "Oww" yelped Panther.
"And this is what I think of you and your idea" Khushi said turning to go to the bed.
"And I thought you wanted to know about the niece" Khushi stopped.The secret of the niece caught her attention really well.She turned towards Panther "I do"
Panther smiled at her and took a step towards her.She took one back.He took another step forward and she took another behind.She finally hit the wall.She looked at him curiously.Panther caged her between her arms and gazed into her eyes.They could feel each other's body heat.Khushi gulped,feeling her heart go wild.Panther leaned towards her so their faces were inches apart "The niece..she is very beautiful" he said slowly trailing a finger down her cheek "her hair is as dark as the night and gives a wonderful scent" he caressed her hair "her eyes are the most beautiful with the most beautiful shade of light..they express whatever she is thinking,whatever she is feeling...if you by any chance tell her a secret,her eyes could tell someone else even if she didn't want to" he caressed her closed eyes "her heart is so pure and innocent that you would just want to keep her for yourself and never let her go" he kissed her cheeks.Taking a deep breath,he glanced at the clock hung outside the cell.Reluctantly letting Khushi go,he took a step back and looked away.He said in a straight voice"She doesn't know anything of her past and has a decent job" Khushi opened her eyes,hearing his voice farther than before.
Khushi opened her mouth to say something but was immediately interrupted "Khushi!"
"Dad" Khushi whispered.
"There you are" said the General,as he picked up the keys from the floor and unlocked the cell.Khushi exited the cell and the General locked it up again "What were you doing in there?" the General asked.
"She gave me company in this cell when I asked her" Panther said.
The General nodded "Let's go"
"Wait dad" stopped Khushi "Where is all the security"
"S-security?"
"Sir we are here" said a constable,followed by the rest.
"Where were you?..you were supposed to be here for the night" questioned Khushi.
"Uh...we were on break"
"For an hour?" she questioned further "I know because I was here for that hour"
The constable gulped and looked down "Sorry Ma'am"
The General nodded "It was an honest mistake,just make sure you don't do it again" he looked at Khushi "I'll wait for you in the car"
Khushi nodded.The General left.
"So Khushi" started off Panther "When's the next time you are going to come and give me company?"
"Not even in your dreams" she shot at him.
"You don't even want to know what happens in my dream..nor will you be able to hear it and nor will I be able to say it" Khushi widened her eyes in curiosity but she decided not to waste her time on him.Glancing at him for the last time,she left.Panther sighed as he watched her leave "You will be mine one day Khushi and that day isn't far...then I'll fulfill my dreams with you" he smirked.
*************************************************************
Panther's words kept echoing in her mind which he spoke about the niece.She sighed 'Why can't I get him out of my mind?'.Khushi lied down on her bed getting ready to sleep.A cool wind passed through her making her shiver.She got up and closed the window.She scrunched her eyes.It wasn't closing properly.She pulled it up and noticed there was a folded paper.She picked it up and closed the window.Sitting on her bed,Khushi unfolded it.It read:
You will be mine one day and that day will come soon.We are meant to be.I hope after tomorrow when you find out the truth you won't mind that I kept it from you.I just want to tell you that after all that we've been through,I love you and always did.
~MASR~
Khushi gulped.'Who is this MASR?Should I tell dad?Maybe I shouldn't..this MASR probably threw it to the wrong window' Throwing the letter in the garbage bin beside her night stand,Khushi lied down on her bed and fell asleep.
*************************************************************
The next morning when Khushi arrived to the police station,she was immediately surprised by the riot.The cells were full of criminals but the constables and inspectors were going all over the placeThe General seemed worried "What happened?" Khushi said out loud,capturing everybody's attention.
"P-Panther escaped w-with his gang l-last night" revealed one inspector
Khushi gasped "What"
"If we find a way to officially capture him and his gang,we will officially capture everyone from the underworld"
Everybody got back to their questioning to one another while Khushi just gazed on.She went to Panther's cell.It was empty as if he was never there.She recalled the previous night.He had been quite mysterious but yet cool and calm.Khushi clenched her fist "How do you manage to escape and get your way every time?"
She looked around as if looking for an answer but sighed.Suddenly her eyes caught a folded piece of paper,lying on the bed.Grabbing it she opened it.It had an address on it and a small note underneath
To Khushi,
If you want to get me and my gang under your control,come to the address written above ALONE at 5 pm.We will be there.I promise you won't regret it.
~Panther~
Khushi looked up from the piece of paper and pressed her lips together "I will come"
