Rahini wandered here and there looking at her watch with fear. Time is running out and in nine minutes that goon will call her to know about the status of his mens’ release. She got furious over the conversation with Anirudh few minutes back. How rudely he responded to her! He is not bothered about rescuing the child rather his personal ego became important to him. Well, what can be expected from the brother of a monster. He is blaming me for getting Trisha into trouble. He conveniently forgot that every cause of the problem is his brother and him.
“For how much time you planning to wander like this?” asked Pratik
Rahini angrily looked at him.
“There is no use in staring at me. You failed to convince that guy and glaring at me” he said
Rahini did not respond him. She sat quietly in a place not knowing what to do next. In few minutes, he will call her and what she can say to him? May be she can lie and by few minutes but what can she in that few minutes. That stupid Anirudh is not ready to listen to her. Perhaps I have to call the police and inform him. No I cannot do like that. If I do, police will get warned and once again they will be after them to rescue the child. What an idiotic demand! He wants his men to be released but police should not follow them. How it is possible?
Kanha, why are you testing me like this? You very well knew the intention behind my deeds and yet you trapped me into this trouble. Please, if something happens to Trisha, I cannot forgive myself for rest of my life. I cannot do anything and everything has gone beyond my control. Please save the girl and save me too. Only you can do everything now.
Pratik looked at her with pity but he too can do nothing. He pretended to refuse to hand-over the evidences to tease her but in reality he was ready to help her as it is matter of a child’s life. But what else he can for this goons. When the family itself is not caring it , there is nothing that they can do. But he made up his mind for one thing and expressed his views to her.
“Mam” he called her. Rahini did not pay attention to him. He did not mind about it and he continued “I need to ensure one thing.”
She looked at him now.
“At any cost this evidence is not going to their hands. It is your responsibility.” he said
Rahini turned to other side.
“See, they want their men to be released. I don’t think it is going to happen. At least we can save our evidences and publish them. It will be easy for police to arrest them.”
“What about the girl then?” she asked angrily “Is it ok if she dies in pieces?”
“You always end in same point. There is not going to be any use in handing over the evidence alone. Sure they won’t relieve the girl.”
“I don’t want to talk about it. I am trying to figure out a way to convince them. Please don’t disturb me. And most importantly that evidences are going to be given to them for sure. Don’t dream of taking it away with you” she said
Pratik angrily looked at her and left the place. Three minutes left for phone call and Rahini started to tremble with fear. She kept looking at the phone not knowing how to handle the caller. God, please show me a way to get out if this. She tightly closed her eyes.
Suddenly things started to turn in some other direction unexpected. Rahini could see some shadows coming near to her and she looked upright to see who they are. The shadows belonged to unexpected people who are mainly related to the scene. Anirudh, Rohit and inspector stood in front of her. Rahini’s face turned surprise but it changed to irritation.
“Look, we don’t want to fight wit you and waste our energy. Let us figure out something to do productively” said Arun
Rahini did not say anything.
“Madam, I heard he will call you in few minutes. Just answer as I say. Tell him that their men will be handed over to them in the place where they want to. Rest we will take care” said the inspector.
Rahini’s face turned angry “What do you mean by you will take care? Did not he tell you that those goons specifically told not to involve police this time? No way. You people are not coming with us. I cannot allow this”
“Who are you to allow this?” fumed Arun “Do as instructed by the inspector. We did not ask you for suggestion. Just do what we say. It is enough.”
“you don’t understand he will not spare the child if something unwanted happens and ….”
“We know that Madam” said inspector trying to hold his patience. “Don’t teach us to do our job. We will handle it in our way. Don’t worry the child will be safe”
“Inspector please don’t listen to her. She considers herself as some warrior princess. We don’t need her advice.” Said Arun and he turned towards her “Mam, if you please hand-over the stuffs to us so that we can plan our operations. You please go home and take rest” mocked Arun.
“Where are the stuffs?” asked Inspector.
Rahini looked around for Pratik he was not found anywhere. Rahini felt chilled for a while. Where the hell has he gone? Did he ran away with the documents? What a fool I am? I should have got that from him and kept it with myself.
Pratik did not test her for more time. Rahini felt relived on seeing him coming. Her mobile phone rang and everyone of them got nervous on it. Rahini looked the mobile in fear.
“Attend the call. Put it in speaker mode.” Said the inspector.
Rahini pushed the answer button
“Hello”
“Alas! Your people realized that it is of going to be no use in enquiring our men. It is very nice that you people have decided to surrender” said the voice
Rahini did not reply him.
“I know that your friends are hearing this conversation right at this moment. I already told you not to be too smart. Tell your police friend to back off from this and all others to do as we instruct. All we need is our men and the stuff. Give it to us and get your child. Matter is so simple. Don’t complicate things with any rescue operation.”
Rahini looked at them like ‘Now what you say.’. Rohit and Arun angrily listened to the caller.
“I am watching every movement of you and your friends. I know all of you have assembled in that place planning for some intelligent mission. I hope you remember what I said”
“I remember and everyone of us is aware of that. Please don’t do any harm to the child. Tell us the place where you want to bring your men and documents.” Said Rahini anxiously
“Do you think I am a fool to reveal it in front of a police man? I know what he would do the very next moment I told about the location. Ask him to get out from that place. I will tell once I got the report that the inspector and his men have vanished from the area. They should leave my men and get away from here. You have five minutes before you fulfill my condition.” said the goon and the line got disconnected.
Rahini now looked at inspector like ‘what now?’ Inspector looked too worried about the conversation. Rohit and Arun stood helpless and worried on what to do next.
“Alright! It is now time for us to back off. I will leave this place and we will be in contact. I will instruct on what to be done next.” He said and left the place.
Phone rang exactly after five minutes. Rahini attended the call.
“Good. It would be nice if you obey me like this. Now listen I want you to get into the vehicle which is standing there along with my men. They will take you to our place. Ask the child’s family to stay quiet and not to do any heroism with us. Got it?”
Rohit fumed at the caller.
“I want only my men and you to be there at the spot. If I find an extra head there, then there is no point in blaming me. Hope you understand.”
“Yeah” said Rahini in low voice.
“I am sure you will not use any technology devices to trace us and take chances with us. I know you are not such a fool. You have 15 minutes to complete everything. See you in my place.”
Call got disconnected.
Rohit and Arun looked Rahini with all fury in this world. She did not pay attention to it. She grabbed the stuffs from Pratik and left the place.
“Bhaiyya! What should we do now? I am not trusting this lady. We have to figure out something to trace them.”
Rohit acknowledged him. They did not notice Pratik left the place to trace where Rahini goes.
--- --- -----
Rahini got into the vehicle along with the men. One of the thugs asked for the stuffs from her but Rahini refused.
“I am not giving until I see the child.” She said
The thug spoke to his boss over phone and conveyed her refusal. After several okays he disconnected the phone and did not ask anything from her. They got her mobile phone, dismantled the battery and threw away the SIM card . They then blindfolded her and took her to a place after several minutes of travel by road.
No one noticed Pratik grabbing something under the jeep travelling with them along.
