Chapter 10
Roughly a hand circled around her waist and another around her mouth sweeping her off her feet instantly. She turned her face and saw the person who held her, the sneer and evil smile well-known, her heart sank. She had just escaped from one hell to another. She cud now see Krishna running towards her. He stopped in his tracks horrified. His eyes first registered if he wat actually seeing then realization hit him. Oh god it was true, angad had tracked her down in the end. Angad had been the person who was holding pratigya. He had come down to Krishna's apartment to give back the gift which Krishna had forgotten at his house. But luckily enough as he walked down the street he spotted pratigya running right at him. Luck was so in his favor. He pulled pratigya more close to his body, krishna's muscles stiffened.
A; look wat I found on the street???? V searched d whole allahabad and madam is right under yr building'haa Krishna
K; yes... I mean no 'I mean angad'.i was searching for her myself.
A: under yr building????
K; wat happened was'.i found her this morning wen I hd gone for d newspaper. See it's a long story I will just come to the conclusion that she was running and I was running behind her wen u came.
A; oh so she was giving us the slip again wernt u my love?? (smirk)
Pratigya boiled within; she was struggling aginst angad's tight hold while Krishna helplessly watched. He wanted to remove his gun and then and there shoot angad, but he knew better. Angad was too precious to harm, that also for a girl. He had been with him for years and had an untainted loyalty to him. He was more than just his boss or best friend, angad was the only family he had, and he cudnt lose him. They were more fish in the ocean. Setting a glance on pratigya he looked up again.
K; she may run again...get her in d car'wheres d car by the way???
A; at d corner, something wrong with the engines or I wudnt have to walk to yr building and then I wudnt have found (looking hungrily)..her.
Krishna helped angad to drag pratigya away.
Pratigya was half dragged half carried into angad's mansion. She screamed bit, scratched, and did all she cud but Krishna and angad were too smart for her. They had managed several girls before her and her antics weren't new. Krishna left pratigya at d foot of the stairs. He didn't want to assist angad to take her upstairs. He cudnt bare it. All this times mixed reactions were swimming in his brain. At one end there was his loyalty to angad while on the other was d unknown feeling he had for her. He didn't know wat to do but one thing was sure, taking her from here wud be waging a open battle with angad. The question was shud he or shud he not battle angad. Pratigya sat at the bottom of the stairs, her lip bleeding, arms red from the rough treatment, krishna's kurta torn from places n eyes red. Her eyes stared at Krishna, she didn't know why but she felt that any moment now he wud take her away from here but as d minutes passed her hope was dying. Angad meanwhile tired from pulling her all the way from the carpark to the stairs, was catching his breath and also eying his prey. He was so excited at the prospects of having her soon, as her sister had been a utter disappointment. He reached out his hand and touched her hair, she jerked his hand away. Pratigya stood up and tried to run but before angad reacted krishna's hand was around her pulling her close. The same unknown shiver moved around his body. He held on to her till h felt angad pulling at her. He left her immediately. He watched with sorrowful eyes as angad dragged her away. He unable to watch more turned and walked out.
The day passed and evening approached, Pratigya was kicking, yelling and pulling at the door all day. She knew the door wont give way but wat was wrong wit trying. Angad had locked her in, promising her that tonight wud be a wonderful nite. Wonderful my foot. She knew very well wat his intentions were and she wasn't going to let him succeed. She had half expected that guy (Krishna) to help her, thinking that how many times he had tried to make her acknowledge the fact that he was protecting her. The door was refusing to buldge an the window was sealed. Angad knew all the ways of escape n had a solution for everything. The door was locked and cud be opened only from outside.
She sat on the bed which had been decorated by angad with flowers, making it look like a wedding nite. She put her face in her hands and started crying. she knew it was no use. The door wud open only wen angad came and wen he did then''' a key was pushed into the lock and the lock turned. Pratigya picked up a vase and ran behind the door. The door opened and a foot appeared in. with all her might she hit the vase on the person, the vase shattered and the person screamed. Pratigya ran out and was heading to the stairs when she heard angad's voice coming from the bottom of the stairs. She turned away in horror and started to run when she realized something, who had she hit. Running running a hand grabbed her and pulled her in. Back in the room, she looked up at the person. Krishna was glaring angrily and a cut on his forehead was visible. She was about to raise her hand and touch his wound when angad's voice was heard from outside. Krishna grabbed her hand and pulled her to a cupboard, he pushed the clothes apart and motioned her to get in. she without a second thought climbed in, thinking he was trying to hide her but instead he climbed in too and shut the door. His whole body was on hers and his breath against her hair. He put his hand on her arm and lowered his head to touch her forehead. Before she reacted, angad'd loud shout was heard.
A: the door is open'where is she?????
Man: sir, she musnt have gone far'..v will find her
A: find'..how did she get out??
Man: u don't know??U DON'T KNOW?.....u irresponsible men'..FIND HER
Angad's footsteps were heard walking across the room. Pratigya leaned closer to Krishna in fear. Krishna put his hand around her and pulled her closer, as if to assure her but pratigya pulled away. She didn't trust him at all. A man came into the room and said "angad sir, looks like v found her trail'the kitchen door is open and there is footprints outside it."
A: so wat r u waiting for'.go find her'.wait I'm also cuming. I don't trust u people. Now where the hell is Krishna??? All u people cant find one girl'thuuuu'.i'll get my coat then v'll go.
Krishna suddenly stiffened. He moved to the other side of the cupboard much to pratigya's relief but in another instant he pulled her to him at the same moment that angad opened the cupboard door. He opened only one side of the cupboard, the side where they were previously standing. His hand came in, pratigya moved closer to Krishna again while Krishna put his hand around her, but this time she didn't resist. She was much to scared to do so. What if angad opened the other door too?? But luckily angad picked a coat lying on the cupboard floor and shut he door close.
Minutes later, Krishna pushed the door open and stepped out. Pratigya followed still holding his shirt sleeve as a small child. He looked around then opened the bedroom door and peeped out. He then turned to pratigya and caught her hand "chalo". They rushed thru the corridor and down the stairs. No one was around, angad had sent everyone to search for pratigya. The house was empty. Running out of the main door, they entered the garden. Krishna was about to take her across the garden to the gate, when he heared a low voice from across the garden. Oh shit he exclaimed. He turned to pratigya.
K: remove yr clothes'.now
P: What???????
K: just do wat I say if u wanna escape'
P: never'..i wont do that
K: this is no time for thinking of your izzat'.strip and 'and'.take this
He removed his shirt and offered her.
K: remove all yr clothings..leave nothing and wear this.
P: I wont ''
K: fine'..u wanna do this the hard way don't u????
He pulled out a knife at pointed it at her. She wanted to scream wen she realized he was cutting her clothes to shreds. She was about to stop him wen she froze. Behind Krishna she saw a black dog growling.
P: d..d'd..ddog'.
K: that's wat im telling u'.these r blood hounds they can smell anything from a mile away'yr scent is all in yr clothes'..remove them
This time she obeyed him, without thinking that he was watching her. She stripped to nothing just when another dog appeared in the dark. Krishna who had been staring at her suddenly came back to life and put his shirt around her. He picked up her clothes and threw if far. Out of nowhere another dog cam running and attacked the clothes. It was tearing the clothes to pieces with such a veracity that she panicked. She was about to start running wen Krishna caught her hand and whispered "don't move". The other two dogs also ran beside their friend and chewed the remains of the cloth. Pratigya looked up at Krishna in fear. Suddenly, something wet touched pratigya's feet, she looked down and much to her horror a large dor was at her feet. The wet thing was its tongue hanging out while its nose was smelling her. She pulled krishna's hand, he turned to her. Her eyes filled with fear told it all. Krishna pulled her closer to him, the dog growled. The other dogs came running and surrounded them growling. Pratigya for the first time put her hands around Krishna and hugged him. The dogs smelled at their feet, immediately recognizing krishna's smell but the other faint smell was unfamiliar. They smelled at pratigya's feet but krishna's smell in d shirt she was wearing confused them. They were growling wen the larger black dog felt that as the girl also smelt almost familier they shud let her pass. He growled to the other and they all ran from there. Pratigya opened her eyes a little and on seeing the dogs go was relieved. Krishna pulled her hand and led her to the gate. He had almost forgotten that angad kept bloodhounds on his property. These dogs wudnt allow anyone to enter or leave unless angad accompanied them. Only familier people like Krishna and all the other men were allowed to come and go as they pleased. Another method of torture which angad inflicted on people was leaving the hounds on them. This was a painful death for whoever unfortunate it was. .
As they walked out of the gates, krishna recalled the painful day he spent trying to put behind the thought of pratigya. How much he tried the memories of the previous day and the night came back to him. Then, painful memories of angad's behavior roamed in his mind. He had sat the whole day cursing his cowardice of letting angad take pratigya. He cud have stopped him but he didn't. He almost missed killing Mr. Cockroach who still drunk was roaming around aimlessly, when he threw a glass to the floor, smashing it to pieces. He in the end decided to go get pratigya from there whatever the cost. Making his way to the mansion, he found angad on the doorstep with a smile. Thinking he was too late, he raised his hand with the angry thought of suffocating him but angad spoke first. Angad elaborately told him how he had planned the nite and now he was going to spend the evening at a minister's place with whom he was planning to join politics. When angad left for the evening, Krishna strolled around the house at first realizing that the key was missing. He doubted that angad had taken it along. Later that evening, when angad returned unable to wait to get pratigya, Krishna coaxed him to have a drink first. He sat and cleverly talked angad into sitting and chatting. Slowly he picked up the key which angad had put on the table and had sneaked upstairs.
Now there was a greater problem, where shud he hide pratigya? Angad knew his house and cud appear anytime like this morning. Where was such a place in Allahabad where angad wouldn't think of finding for her? Where??. At the back of his head, a image took form and he knew that was the place. The place where he cud hide pratigya safely.
