Some time back parallaly when Dipika was caught.….
Sandhya waited for two minutes after Dipika left…
She then peeped out and waited hearing for any sort of sounds…. Seemed Dipika had gone into the first room… She immediately crossed over and entered the room diagonal to hers…. She tried and found the door opened and entered it…. She kept her ears against the door for any sound and heard a door open and close… After few minutes another door opened and closed…. Dipika had crossed over twice…… 😊
Waiting for two more seconds Sandhya came out and skipping one room entered the next…. The next door was different from the normal doors…. Entering it Sandhya found the reason…. It was a lobby leading elsewhere and not a normal room! 🤔
Sandhya listened outside for another door opening… Just when she thought she heard a door open, she heard a thud and a scream…. A scream of a girl…. Stunned she stood still for a while... She knew the sound came from somewhere inside sounds from the other side of the door was muffled... 😕
Shocked she ran across the lobby and looked around… Turning right she checked all the rooms… They were other hotel rooms in the lobby, but all were locked from outside…. She was just wondering if the scream was her dream or imagination when she came to the end of the lobby and saw a stair case going up… 🤔
Without waiting for another second.... She ran up the stairs and checked all the rooms in that floor too…. At the end of the lobby she thought she heard muffled sounds inside…. Outside the door she kept her ears over the door to confirm her understanding…. 😒
She thought she heard a crash sound and a glass breaking…. She wondered what to do? Was someone fighting inside? Or was it just some tiff between some family members? ❓
Just as she was thinking this she heard the door lock open from inside…. Surprised she took a step backwards waiting for the door to open….. But the door never opened but she heard another scream of Ajay!?!?!
Ajay!!!?!?!? Their team Ajay? Since the dance no one had seen Ajay or Neha and no one knew where they were! ❓ So was it him there?
She then heard clearly Neha saying sternly….
"Aage mat badna…. Special Squad se hoon…. Jaan bachegi nahi!"
From outside Sandhya could hear a maniac laughter and a man saying… 😈
"Lo… Special Squad se ho! Khud tumhare team members humare custody me hain…. Aurr dekha tumhare Aashiq ki haalat…. Becahra behosh pada hai…. Ab bachane aayega koun!?!?" ❓
"Ek aurat ki izzat bachane ke liye kisi aur ki zaroorat nahi hoti hai… Vo khud kaafi hai… Mere nakhoon tumhare chehere ki vo haalat banayegi jise tum khud nahi dekhna pasand nahi karoge... Don't take a step forward"
These words struck Sandhya who was standing outside… Words of the same type but of a different voice rang in her mind.... Her voice!
Moments of her bitter past flashed in her mind as like a zombie she stepped forward….
"No… Leave me! I said…. "
Neha's voice went muffled as if her mouth was been closed….
Sandhya breathing heavily stepped to the door and pushed it open…. The door opened noiselessly and she stepped in….. 😳
One guy of a rowdy was forcing himself onto Neha… His back was turned towards the door and Neha pinned against the wall didn't notice the door open or Sandhya enter….
Sandhya looked on at the scene in front of her…. Unwillingly, unwantedly the scene recreated in her mind…. That scene was re telecast for her where she could see herself in that state!
The same state... She was in place of Neha and that damn of a social worker in that rowdy's place! 😡
Anger bubbled inside her…. Anger against that big name social worker… Anger against this big time rowdy…. 😡
She knew not what she was doing…. She knew not who was in her front… What she knew was what was happening was bad and she was not going to allow it to happen!
Her hand moved inside her saree and drew out the gun…. She raised the gun to her level….
While raising the gun in her anger she fired a bullet which went a hit the man in his leg….
Surprised the guy turned around in pain and looked shocked at Sandhya…. Neha moved from behind the guy, looked at him and at Sandhya at the door…. 😲
Even though relieved for been saved Neha was shocked at the moment seeing how it has happened….
The guy angrily started limping towards Sandhya…. 😡
Guy: Ae.... Koun ho tum??? Mujhe goli deti hai! 😡
Thinking of how to stop him hastily Neha searched for some weapon or thing to hit him with…. She saw the leg of a table which was now broken….
Red and white flashes of Sandhya's past flashed in front of her eyes as bullets went zipping out of her gun shooting the social worker in front of her…. 😡
Just as Neha picked up and straightened she heard the rains of bullets…. Shocked she dropped the wood and looked down in front of her… 😲
The man who fell catching his stomach as blood poured out from them!!?!?! 🤢
Sandhya had emptied the whole round of the ammunition into the guy…. If any one could see her eyes now, he definitely would have seen it flash red as a lava…. The anger against the men cruelty like this! 😡
Stunned at what happened, Neha wiped her tears which had flowed irrespective of been brave…. She went up to Sandhya and called out her slowly….
Neha: Sandhya! 😳
Seeing that she didn't respond, Neha slowly shook her head and Sandhya turned towards her now!
She looked at Neha and at the guy in front of her in a pool of blood!
Stunned she looked at the gun in her hand and back at Neha again… Slowly she went over to the body and checked the man's pulse…
Shocked she stumbled back and she sat down on the floor and said…. 😲
Sandhya: I killed?! Maine ek khoon kar diya! Ma… Ma… Main ek doctor…. Ek zindagi ko bachane waali… I murdered someone….
Neha looked at her feeling pity at her state… 😒
She knew what Sandhya was going through.... Out of the blue when you shoot someone, it was bitter... And for lady that too! 😔
Been in Special Squad for Neha all this was usual… Even though she knew how to use a gun, she had never had to use it… But seeing killers and deaths was in their profession…. But for Sandhya or any common man for that matter this would definitely be shocking…. And it didn't take her late to understand that Sandhya had never used a gun before! 😵
She knelt besides Sandhya and turned her face to look at her….
Neha: Nahi Sandhya…. Aisa kuch nahi hai… Tumne aaj bhi ek zindagi hi bachayi hai…. Tum naa aati to pata nahi main kya karti…
Sandhya shook her head and looked back at the guy lying in front of her….
Sandhya: Something else could have been done.... Maine... I.... I broke the oath I took while taking up this doctor's profession, that I would always save lives!? Main apne doctory ki oath tod di!?!? 😒
Sandhya kept mumbling something unintelligible….
Neha knew that she was in a state of shock and whatever she said would go into deaf ears… 😔
She looked to see Sandhya was ok and immediately turned her attention to Ajay who was unconscious besides the door…
Neha: Ajay... Ajay!
The man had hit him with a porcelain jar which had fainted him….
She hit him hard across the face to wake him up... Looking around she went to a unbroken table which had a water jug.... Bringing it she splahed water against Ajay's face and called out again....
Neha:Ajay! 😒
Just then she saw shadows of people fall inside the room on her and Ajay….
😳
