Knockout!

His boss smiled and said,” I knew you would glad hearing this Miss Sarah. And you deserved the spot. So I have kept this contract ready for you to sign. You just have to go through them and sign when you’re ready to take the job.” He handed her the papers which she almost grabbed and read properly. It was the regular contract that she have signed even before and thus signed it and handed back to the boss. “Here sir! When do I have to join in with the PA position sir?” She asked earnestly. Though she knew now even her work load would increase but she loved her work too and this position with the salary mentioned in the contract even though for a short period of time meant happiness. “You can start from today, now if you like.” He smiled “ok sir! So I will take up the charge from now itself. Let me know what I have to do.” “Sure! But first I have someone here to meet you.” He pointed towards the man whom she have forgotten entirely as he sat with his back towards them. “You’ll be glad to meet him miss Sarah, He’s Adil Khan, the king of cooperates in India.” He pointed to the now emerging man from his seat as he turned and looked straight towards her.

Sarah gulped! Suddenly her sixth sense started signalling her about something being extremely wrong.

“So, Mr Khan. Here’s your company and you’re inchage of it from now! Hope you can get it to more heights and it was nice working with you!” He shook hands with him, turned and saw her shocked face. “Oh! Ms. Sarah, you weren’t here yesterday right? So you don’t know about the grand take over. Actually Mr. ADIL took over the company yesterday in quite good rates.” He explained it to her pretty happily and shrugged his shoulders and continued, “I wouldn’t have sold the company as it was already going on well, but you know mr. khan knows how to make all the mergers possible and successful and well, I won’t mind having an already successful company to handle at Europe, you know! Well, here’s your new boss and hope you enjoy working with him.” He pleasantly finished his talk to her and then stood talking with some papers with the NEW BOSS!

Sarah went over to the sofa in the corner of the room and sat there glaring at the duo. So much for the happy day it was for her today! ADIL Khan was his new boss and she was his PA! PA for Gods sake meant personal assistant and she had no doubts about his personal approaches and the ruthlessness he can get in to. What kind of a mad mind he was! Buying medicines, even smal flats was ok, but was he insane, buying a huge multi miilion company to make her suffer? No, this should be a coincidence. Why would a multi milonare bother to buy a million dollar company to make her suffer. Making her kill or kidnap would have been far easier and cheaper. And a merger within a day! That means …… her brain stopped working. Now she knew hey hadn’t there been any call from the office the previous day. It wasn’t her prayers answered but her sufferings getting increased day by day.

May be that’s the reason he gave an urgent notice to vacant the place. So that she could be busy out there and he can easily take over the company and get her as his slave, his PA! And that was the biggest issue now. She dropped her face on her hands and sighed hard. What was she going to do now. She just couldn’t continue with the job with this khan and bear his piercing glances all day long.

She stood staring on her feet! His patience was crossing limits. “Look, I’m telling you once again, I want your office shifted on the cabin opposite to mine, did you get that? Now keep moving we have loads to do!” She still stood like a statue busy staring at some damn thing on her feet and continued to avoid his orders. He could easily have grabbed her by the shoulder and told her to carry out the order. “Are you listening miss PA SARA?” He chewed each word and asked her again and she cared not to budge again. “What are you staring at damn you!” He pulled her wrist and get her look at him and she just looked at him plainly, silently, kept staring. “Ok! What do you want” he breathed a long sigh and asked her. He wanted to exactly why was she behaving in this strange way. Her old boss was long gone and she knew well enough that she has to continue with the job, she seems to be smart and would have known the clauses of the contract. That’s why she hadn’t insisted upon leaving the job, or may be needed it badly. And he was surprised to see her sit there normally and accept him as a boss and her new position with such calm. He actually expected a shocked SARA with loads to argue and lots of insisting to resign. But she actually sat there idly and even took some notes he gave her while she jotted them down on her iPad.

It was now, when he ordered her about her cabin arrangements that she behaved as if she hadn’t heard anything and was acting so strange. Hence, he guessed may be by asking her wish he can actually know what she intended to do. “I need a separate cabin. I won’t shift on the opposite one!” She said adamantly this time and there was somethk in her voice which portrayed she wasn’t going to get convinced otherwise.

Jammed!

After some hours, all her clothes and assecories were packed up in a corner and there were two men from the local trust institute ready to take away her furnishings and kitchen appliances. As it is she won’t be needing them soon enough, so why not donate it all! As for now, the lighter she owned the better would be it for her. Even if she doesn’t find a place to live, she can always go to a nearby railyway station and spend the night with her suitcases. But she hoped that doesn’t happen to her. She gulped those sudden tears ready to emerge as she saw her beloved belongings bring taken away by those men.

After spending a night with no sleep on the uncomfortable floor, she was ready to bid her lovely home the final bye. It was still eight in the morning but she didn’t want to face that monster when he comes in for the key and hence gave that key to the owner and went away without taking a back glance. She won’t be able to bear the pain of loosing her dear home. She remembered the morning when she met that monster. Who knew just an encounter of five minutes would leave her stranded on the streets within a weak.

“No cat fights with your room mates, cleaning your rooms is your responsibility and even once if you are late than midnight, the next day you can find yourself another place. Is that clear?” The manly looking female tagged as the warden of the hostel warned her in dangerous tones. She just nodded and went in her small room with four beds and four single cupboards in total. So, this is going to be her whole world hence forth, she sighed glancing around the dull faded walls. At least it was better than spending the rest of the times on streets or stations. Damn that man, didn’t he even think how can a girl survive in this city without a home and leave in streets? Or even die? She was damn sure this man had no heart.

Thinking of heartless people, she suddenly remembered her boss. It was already 9:30 and she have to touch the office at ten. Her boss payed her workers well and made sure they worked for each penny as hard as he wanted. One more cruel monster in the corporate world. It was great that God had heard his prayers and they didn’t call her yesterday but today, she was sure she wasn’t going to be spared. She quickly got ready to catch the next bus to her office, unpacking can taken care of later.

She was almost running to catch the elavator to the fifteenth floor where her office was located. There seem to have been a strange hussle and bustle around the workplace today. “Lol! Looks like everyone has got the notice to empty this place too with in twenty four hours!” She mused as she stepped out of the elevator. “Sarah, boss wants to meet you urgently!” Her colleague, Rohan said while he rushed about to the other side of the office in an unusual hurry. She knew this was going to come. Of course the monster wouldn’t bear his one more days salary getting wasted on her and that too without a prior notice. No doubt he was going to make her work and hear some things extra for it.

She knocked at the bosss door and after a reply went in. “Good morning sir!” Seems so he had a guest and unusual for him, he was standing and ready to go somewhere. Wow! Mr monster boss is not going to see her doing all those work but definitely will leave a pile for her. She thought silently as he glanced at her, but strangely he wasn’t starring at her in anger as he used to always do after her holiday. Instead, he actually smiled! She was surprised but chose to keep quite and hear what was coming for her now. “Good morning Sarah! Looks like yesterday’s holiday haven’t been able to give you some glow too. You look weak and lethargic.” He commented and she was ready to fall because of the surprise. Did her slave driver boss actually noticed her weakness and commented on it. Hope she wasn’t day dreaming. “I’m alright sir” she just mumbled as he went on. “So, miss Sarah i have got a good news for you. We were checking the workers progress and efforts and we really liked yours. Hence, you’re being promoted as PA of the firm hence forth.” Sarah was glued to her spot. She was shocked was a small thing to say. Though she never took her job as something less than a blessing, she always wanted to have an important, great position in the company. Though she knew she didn’t have so many days to live that job, but still God made her dream come true at least some days before her death. She felt the tears of happiness come in her eyes and blinked back as she smiled happily towards her boss. At least something was happening good today. “Thank you so much sir. I’m honoured you thought about me.” She answered with excitement in her voice.

Indecent intentions!

His mobile shrieked loudly that brought him out of this world. He looked away for a second as if to shed of the magical spell that captivated him seconds before. He felt her hands in his and let her go off quickly as it it held a current in them. Recieved his phone and went towards the window to talk to his secretary.

[image error]

She was taken aback from the strange feeling that engulfed her just now. This was the most hateful man on the earth standing in front of her who have insulted her just some minutes before and there she blushing because he was staring at her? This was ridiculous. Sometimes hormones act crazily. Even if he was the last person alive on the earth, she wasn’t going to get weak in front of him. If he needs the house, fine, she’ll make sure he gets it then. Let him be a fool and buy it for double the money, as it is, she wasn’t going to stay forever in this place. Just a month or two, she was anyways going to leave the house,the world. She thought sadly. But she really wanted her last days to be spent here in this place. The clot of tears formed again in her throat. But this would never happen now, all thanks to this Mr. Khan, a fool headed disgusting man. She’ll now have to find a place for her accomodation too.

“The Deal’s done Mr. Pinto!” he said as he returned to the main room after talking to his secretary avoiding her entirely as he passed beside her. “The papers are ready, you’ll recieve the money in your account within 2 hours and I need the house by tomorrow noon, is it ok?” He had it planned all already and Mr. Pinto seemed to be happy to no bounds. She actually stumbled while coming out hearing this. “How can this be possible? You should have given me atleast a notice a week prior. I can’t vacant the place in a day!” “Actually lady, this is between you and Mr. Khan now. He is your new owner now. You can request him to grant you some time for arrangements.” Mr Pinto told it all lightly as if it was an easy way out. Well then, this was what she expected this from this man. He just cared for money, always. “Actually, I can’t grant you any more time than a day you know, my driver needs the place urgently.” She knew he was lying in front of Mr. Pinto. “Don’t lie, you are doing this purposely. To harrase me.” She replied slowly, yet chewing each word. “Oh yes! I am doing this to make you pay. And you will pay till you get destroyed fully. I will make you so weak that you’ll regret the moment you slapped me.” He looked at her with strong eyes. “Adil Khan never spares his enemies. Everything that is dear to you, I’ll snatch them away. I hate you to the infinity! And for this hatred, you will have to pay with your happiness, your life, your everything.” She was actually shocked knowing someone can hate her so much. She has just slapped the man for God’s sake and it was because he had touched her, a stranger touching you and you retaliating in defence is natural. Who takes it as a personal attack to enemity? Ofcourse, apart from a pigheaded  man with extra pride like Adil khan.

“So, do you think buying off the stock of some drinks and buying this house would weaken me? Defeating me isn’t that easy. I am stronger than you think. You won’t me able defeat to Sara Ali. I’ll give you your place within twenty four hours and show you, nothing can weaken or stop me, not even death can!” She stopped for a few seconds to breath. The last words were painful, but she’ll fight everyone, even death before her days are over. She wasn’t weak and she’ll show this to him and nature. “Do you think you can buy everything of my life with your money? Then let me tell you Mr. Adil.Khan, Money can’t buy everything. There are loads of people in this world who aren’t influenced by money.” “Oh yes? Like the bus driver last night?” He asked with a seductive smile.

He watched her eyes widen in surprise. “Do you think that bus yesterday ignored a fully drenched lady standing all alone in an empty road at late night just like that?” He smiled looking straight in her eyes, “money has power! And Adil khan depicts money and power! No one survives after messing with Adil khan. Tomorrow noon, I want the place empty, got it?”  He went away towards the door but returned within half a way, “ And yes, if you couldn’t find a place in a day to accommodate you? You know my offer is still open!” He smiled slowly as he told those last words and went with a pride in his walk towards his car.

Sarah was numbed as we passed her! So, her sligt doubt had been the real one. This was the monster behind that missed bus and all the misery yesterday and no doubt he followed her too and even see all that she had gone through. She remembered the moments when she have swayed and fallen and dragged herself in dirt till she reached her place. She suddenly felt embarrassed, knowing he did see her those moments and vulnerability, her clinging to the gate and….. Ofcourse! That’s why he bought this house today, anybody could have guessed her attachement to her home watching her clinging to it. “OMG that rascal” she fell on the nearby chair and took a deep breath. “I wonder if that person belongs to any human category at all. He saw me weaken up yesterday. He want to break me apart through this hateful tactics. But no, he couldn’t break me, nohing can. I have seen worst in my life, been away from all the lovable things she had. She’ll survive great even now. So what if it’s her home, her dear home…” tears started rolling down her eyes. She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her paradise, home small little home. But just because of this ADIL Khan’s ego, she’ll have to leave it, forever! Never coming back.

Since last two hours she was sitting on the same chair all numbed and silent. Deep in thought. Thinking about how she could make it happen till the afternoon next day. “And yes, if you couldn’t find a place in a day to accommodate you? You know my offer is still open!” She remembered his words and got up with a start. All hatred in her eyes, she rose and started towards her phone. “Please God! Don’t let the boss call me today.” She prayed silently and went on with her work.

Harmful tour!

Read the 7th post here!

Slowly, she turned leaving the door half open and following them inside the flat. Adil Khan was busy taking in the whole house through his deep, penetrating glances while Mr. Pinto was talking continuesly praising the house. His glance was almost everywhere around the place and then at her. He caught her eyes as if fitting in her with the place. She knew, she just could sense that he was trying to guess her persona with the place. As if to find out her next breaking point to destroy her. He was trying to find the best thing because of which he could target her and hurt her more. Not that she was already breaking from inside. Being ill, high in fever and dead tired wasn’t enough, the feeling of loosing her only loved possession, though of rent hurted. The tears itched around her eyes to drop down, but she just couldn’t afford to weaken up in front of this man. May be she can convince Mr Pinto later. But she knew very well, this man cared only of money and somehow she knew Adil Khan will shed triple the amount of the place just to snatch it away from her.

Finally that man have stopped talking. He was talking about the things he already knew of the house while showing him the place. His men have answered him within an hour of the call last night and gave him all the details needed of the place. And convincing the owner was just a cake walk in itself. Money matters! That was his mantra to success. He knew he can get this house by just showing more than the destined amount of the place. That look of shock on her face at seeing her made him glad. He have started loving that feeling of shocking her with his attacks. Attacks, those were what he would call his attempts to make her pay for her deed. After all he have vowed to make her pay with all her might! He glanced at her closely when he entered the house with the owner. She looked pale, weak somehow and as if she could pass out with the shock she got. Of course that was understood, it was just yesterday night that she got the worst punishment of her life. He mused.

[image error]

The house was plain, just like the girl. A small and simple house with rarely any furniture in it and light dull Cream colour. It was neatly maintained but needed good maintaining. His servant quarter was better in terms of colours and furnishings and here he was paying double the amount for this damn place. But who cares? This was what she loved isn’t it? The way she hugged the gates and touched the walls in despair last night shows it off clearly. Well, she must loose it. To know what slapping Adil Khan meant. She is going to have the worst part of her life now. He is going to make sure of that. He looked directly at her. Standing sideways with rigid shoulders and a firm look on her face. She glanced back at him and looked directly in his eyes as if accepting the challenge more openly now. The look of extreme hatred portrayed in her eyes. There was a flicker of pain too which clasped him for a second, but the next instant he could just see the same fire in her eyes as it was in his. It was Mr. Pinto who interfered them, “you can show him the place properly Sarah.” He made himself more comfortable in the chair now picking up the newspaper from the table and opening it. She went ahead and fully opened the half opened bedroom door so that he can take a look at it. Without warning he was just behind her. Close very close. She moved two three steps forward and opened up the curtains and window. “You can have a clear look of the area from here.” She said him roughly. “Who cares! I am sure my driver will be already knowing the place perfectly well around.” He just shrugged. She was surprised, “ you are actually buying a house in a doubled rate for your driver?” “Actually my driver deserves a better place than this one. You know the servant quarters of my place is far better, bigger and well furnished than this depressing, rotten place?” The pride in his tone was disgusting. She just couldn’t bear it any more, she came forward in rage and snarled, “so why are you wasting your money buying this roottten place?” “You know why, don’t you?” ,He asked with a lazy smile. Sarah couldn’t imagine she have hated anyone more in her life before. She shook her head,”you know what? You are disgusting. Do you know because of your stupid revenge of buying this place,which is no importance to you in double money can leave someone homeless?” her time actually went painful saying those last words. For an instance he felt something for her, sympathy may be, but the next instance he enjoyed it. Afterall it was weakening her. He smiled, stepped a little towards her, bent a little and asked her, “you know, you wouldn’t be homeless after all. I can offer you sharing my home or room instead?” He asked with a glint of mischief in his eyes. He didn’t knew why, but the offer was spontaneous.

She jerked her head towards him with feirry eyes and raise up her hand to slap him again, “how dare you?” ,The next instant he clasped her wrists in his strong hand with anger lashing out from his eyes. “Not again, my dear girl, not again. No one attacks Adil Khan the second time. They don’t survive after the first to attack him again.” He talked with strong words as he looked directly in to her eyes. He looked in her eyes with a challenge, standing just an inch away from her, her hands were still in his though she was twisting them regularly to snatch them away.

The force of which he clasped her hands made tears shine in her eyes. He was hateful, how can he offer something, something like this? She felt disgusted. She would have killed him for his offer by God, she would have if she had a knife right now in her hands. But she couldn’t even slap him for this. How weak she was to get her hand caught in his and couldn’t even get it removed? The look in his eyes when he snarled back was scary. She got so scared by his tone that she was about to cry. Suddenly, his hands went loose, but didn’t leave her. His eyes showed something that was entirely alien to her. Not the hatred, not the pride and not the hate too, it was something different, that make her look away from his eyes. She just couldn’t bear it. It made her feel vulnerable, soft and didnt know why a little out of place.

[image error]

Those sparkling crystals around the corner of her eyes made her look so innocent, so…. Beautiful! He felt something, his heart missed a beat, he suddenly felt he was holding her too fiercely, she was so weak, such vulnerable. He loosened his grip from her hands but didn’t want to let the soft feel leave his hands. Those eyes were magical. There was something in those which held him captive for some seconds. He felt as if he could just keep looking at her beautiful face for ages, to let her get close to him and to held her closely against him. As if she felt those things for real, she went pink. Blushing slightly, her lashes went down on her face. He couldn’t believe it. Actually a woman did blush? He have seen anyone look so wonderful before. She looked as if a rose, all soft and pink and… shy! This was something new and he loved the feeling of it.

Glitched guests!

She had a drastic headache the next day! Her whole body was in pains and weakness was prevailing because of the high fever. She didn’t even have the courage to wake up and test it with a thermometer. Thank God it was a Sunday and there was no office today. Otherwise her boss would have definitely frowned upon her late attendance. She glided back to sleep again for some time.

[image error]

After sleeping for more than two hours again, she had some courage to prepare herself a decent egg meal, coffee and have those medicines which she should not miss at any cost any day. The fever seem to have subsided a little but the weakness did held her even now. She relaxed on her second hand brought sofa for a while, closing her eyes and thinking about the past days and those events which made them totally unbearable for her. Adil Khan’s face seemed to come in her mind clear with those fiery eyes as if saying, “what ever that goes wrong in your life, I am behind it!” she frowned deeply, just the thought of him made her weak again. No, not weak, she shouldn’t be weak in front of him, it was he who had done wrong, not her. Why should she be weak, he was an animal, a ruthless animal. But rich and handsome none the less. She remembered his black Mercedes and the authority in which he used to be on the backseat of the car. “If his car is such a royalty, I wonder how his home would be”.

She thought about a royal Prince type of a bungalow for him overlooking a lush garden and with lavish rooms and a grand master bedroom. And then she looked around her own house. A small one BHK flat with all the necessities in it, yet simple, organised and neat. She rarely had any furnitures here. Just a single bed, a small sofa and a cupboard with a dressing table. Even for these she had to save for months and finally she got them from a used furniture’s shop. She remembered being the most happiest when she had finally made a home for herself, though rented, but it valued.

She was busy deep in those thoughts when she heard a harsh knocking on her door. Strange, no one came to her normally, she hardly knew anyone around. Apart from the owner who lived next doors, no one knocked at her door. May be it would be the owner, needing something. She stood and went slowly to open the door. She was right. It was the owner of the house. “Hello, mr. Pinto, do you need anything?” She never had a friendly relation with her owner, just the rent and business talk of the house. Hence, she directly asked him the purpose of visiting the place. “Oh yes! I want my house back!” He simply replied. But this reply gave Sarah a huge jerk.” You wwhat? But we had a contract for a year and you said we can increase the time of it if I want to continue and didn’t needed the house anyways apart for the rents?’ she asked him. But she was under a huge shock.

“Well, I said so! But now I want money, and this man here is giving me double the rate of my house, so why would I hold back?” He shrugged and pointed a thumb towards his shoulder. She glanced towards that direction to see the man who was ready to buy her beloved home in double rates from the owner.

[image error]

And there he was, staring squarely at her with those rim glasses, looking more attractive with the addition of these glasses.Her throat went dry. She was dumbly staring at them standing right on the doorsteps when Mr. Pinto asked roughly, “now lady, if you don’t mind, I want to show him the place around?* Without waiting for her reply, she entered the house from the sideways. Mr. Khan following him swiftly but stopping for a second just beside her, removing those glasses and giving her the look, that repeated his challenge, she was paying it off!

Falling apart…!

Read the 5th part here!

Sara dragged her feet. She was just an alley away from home. She have been walking continuesly for almost two hours now. It was nearly 1AM at night and the roads were all still silent. She was all soaked in the rain water, but still her throat was all dry because of the continues effort. The effort she have been putting, taking each step after giving herself the confidence that’s it’s gonna be over soon. Suddenly she didn’t wanted to live at all.

[image error]

She really felt just like the road, her life would be ending soon, the sufferings would soon end. She can than relax in her grave, so what if she could never enjoy what other young girls of her age did, she would be deep in the soils getting calm after these years of sufferings. They always said, there’s always relief after sufferings, but for her, it will be only after her death. She was actually crying between these thoughts. Finally, beyond the alley, she saw her home, her sweet home and suddenly she got the energy to walk a little more faster. She took huge steps towards her home when suddenly she felt the whole world rotating in front of her. She tried to get hold of something but her hand just waved in the hair and thud! She felt with a huge bump on the roadside pavement. The pain on her forehead was sharp, as if someone has banged it deliberately, she tried to get up, but the pain on her forehead made it impossible and she was once again dizzy. She tried getting up in a sitting position but again went down this time the forehead getting hurt again on the road. She started weeping with misery. Life has been cruel with her, but nothing was more worst than she lying in a puddle of dirt on the road at midnight in a stormy, rainy night.

[image error]

After several minutes and much efforts she dragged herself just like she was, in the sitting position and started towards the house. Gradually, just beside the gate, she clasped the gate and taking its support stood up. She unlocked the gate with much difficulty and soon she was in her small heaven. She felt as if she has got a life after death. Though now the pain in the head has been severe and the shivering and fever had now clutched her fully and she was filled in mud and dirt but she was at home. This home has once again gathered her scattered personality together. She clunged to the gate as if the a child holds her mother and started crying loudly, “I love you! I would never let you go off. You are the only one I have got to support me, you are my everything.” Her tears were unstoppable now.

[image error]

Far away just beyond some blocks the driver of the black Mercedes was thinking,” How cruel a man can be! I am sure the devil has got a tight competition with this rascal.” He had suggested thrice to speak to his boss about giving

the girl a lift or atleast help her get some other conveyance, but it was crushed with a rough remark from his boss. When she was about to fall, he literally risked his job by opening the front door to help her, but the man again held him back with his strong voice. “Let her be on her own self”. “But sir, we can’t see her in this condition doing nothing, she’s looking fragile.” He tried to convince him once again. “Don’t worry, she won’t die!” He said and continued to stare straight ahead of him without any reaction.

He have been following her slowly since two hours, his driver have been impatient, but he didn’t care. He wanted to follow her, not to help her, but to plan his next move against her and enjoy the result of his today’s plans. He saw her almost dragging herself all the way, occassionally taking the support of a tree or a car for support and sometimes sit on a small bench available on the sides of the roads. She was without any rainwear and hence all soaked. Then she went down falling, he missed a beat when he saw her clasping for support, may be he should go out and help, she has come across all the way on her own, but his ego took a stand just then. Forcing him to watch her fall and even stop his driver from helping her. She deserved this punishment, after all she have slapped Adil Khan. And then, the cruel Adil Khan was again in his best form, planning his next strategy against the drenched girl in front of him. “Hmmm, who clings to a gate and hugs it as if it’s a pet or parent, so let’s test this love too!” When the black Mercedes took a U turn from this alley, his eyes had a sharp glint in them.

Enmity beyond limits!

Read part 4 here!

Sarah stood there perplexed managing to get her wits together. Was it just a coincidence? He was just reading her right? Who can manage to command the bus driver, the local bus driver to avoid the common travellers and move ahead, of course it wasn’t possible. He may be passing by the area and would have seen her running for the bus and getting avoided. That’s why would have taken the chance to scare her, but gentlemen always helped the women in distress, not scare them. But she never mistook this one for a gentleman even in her wildest dreams. He wasn’t going to come back or help her, neither can anyone else. Hence, she have to walk her way back to home now. So what if it was more than 3 kilometres and it was already eleven at night, she was powerful, she have evolved strong in the past years. She have seen worst times than this! But during all those years, she was physically strong. She tried to wipe those tears that rolled out of her eyes and went down her face with the rain water and started walking slowly. She didn’t want to get exhausted in midway by walking too fast,she can take it slowly, calmly and reach home on her own. But one thing was for sure, after Adil khan, she wouldn’t ever forgive this bus driver for her sufferings. The ache in her head has turned major now, but she was still walking and wishing if she could get a cab or a lift till home.

“She’s here sir!” The driver told Adil Khan who was busy smoking on the back seat of the car. “should I call her for a lift sir?” The driver was about to signal her. “Wait! Do only what you are asked to do. Let her go ahead and follow her slowly, she shouldn’t know we are behind her.” He snarled at his driver which left the driver thinking how cruel his boss can be. He thought his boss was going to give a lift to this girl, that’s why they were standing since half an hour of the sideroad in the heavy rains. But all he wanted was to follow this drenched girl who looked like she could collapse at any moment. Adil Khan felt glad watching her drag herself on the other side of the road. Once she swayed lightly in air but clasped the nearby tree branch for support. She sat under that tree for some moments, pressed her forehead with her fingers and then got up slowly and started walking again. She was taking baby steps now, at intervals turning back as if she could find a lift for herself and then again continued walking slowly. Her clothes were stucked on her body now, hair all clunged on her shoulders stickily, she looked stack white. For once he felt something for her, sympathy may be? But now, she was not someone waiting for sympathy, she have attacked him and she will have to pay for her action. After all, it took quite a planning to get the bus move on without stopping. He smirked while he took another long breath in as he smoked.

He left from a late meeting from his clients and due to the heavy rains, his driver took this short cut to reach at his bungalow. They were driving slowly because of the heavy downpour when he caught a glimpse of her walking towards the bus stand and glancing at her watch. He knew she may be waiting for her next bus, it was already late and she was alone at the bus stand. The local buses used to shut after 11, so it was sure this bus she was waiting was would be the last one for today. The wicked man in him thought about it deeply, “what if she misses the bus and walks her way back home?” He smiled wickedly. This road wasn’t much active during night, it was sure she won’t be able to get a lift. “Let’s do it Adil khan!” He challenged himself to do it again. He called up his PA, “I want to know at what time does the last bus arrive at DY road? And I want the answer in minutes, got it?” And with in two minutes his phone ringed back, “Ok! Driver, take a u turn now and stop at the middle of the previous alley now!” He commanded immediately after ending the call. He just had two minutes if he wanted to do something to stop the bus. His driver started to say something, but knew better than that.

He turned back in a rapid speed at stopped right in the middle of the turn of the alley. “Sir, this can be dangerous, you know any vehicle passing from here can crash on us, it would be deadly for all of us.” The driver was quite worried and tried to explain him. “I know that! You don’t worry, just stop here till I signal further.” Within minutes a fast moving bus stopped with high freaks of break just behind them and the agitated driver came out from the driving seat. He was about to shout at the driver when the backseat window glass opened up half and a bundle of notes came from there. “Take this, don’t stop at the next bus stand, move on with your regular speed from there.” The driver seemed to be puzzled now, “but what if someone’s waiting there, you know it’s the last bus for today.” “Of course there’s someone standing there, I want you to avoid her and go on with your route”. “Is it her? A lady, But I can’t do that, how can a lady reach her destination at this hour of night if the last bus doesn’t stop? I can’t cheat sorry.” He dropped the money on the back seat and returned back. “Ok, if you won’t do this, I’ll call the police saying you banged my car and it damaged it severely, you know what will happen to you then?” He called from behind. “you can’t do this?” The driver turned around quickly. “Try me!” He smirked.

Next part coming tomorrow……

Dark drenched night!

Read the third part here!

Life was never easy for her. After bearing all those tortures at home and completing her high school, she one day ran suddenly from her aunts place. She didn’t even know if she was her real aunt or had bought her from somewhere. She never saw her parents, they were dead when she was of three years, that was what her aunt said and always blamed her for the same. She was a weak child, she had this unbearable pain attacks in her arm at nights and bad dreams of getting separated from someone very dear to her. Not that it had any connection with her illness now, she has confirmed this factor with her doctor too. She wasn’t a genius in school, just OK in her studies but she could never cover up her studies because of the house chores she was assigned by aunt. There was always something to do and someone to answer when she sat with her books. This made her grades go down, but at least she passed her high school.

[image error]

Later one day, when her aunt got mad with her because she wasn’t ready to marry her rotten spoil son, she hit her until blood was running down her nose and head. The curses, the hits, the physical torture, everything was bearable now, but she just wouldn’t be able to live with her for the rest of her life, let alone the thought of marrying this goon son of hers. The next day, when her aunt went to the local market, she went ahead with her plan to run that she made lying awake the previous night. Along with some cash from her savings that she made by doing part time job at the local canteen after school, hiding it from aunt of course. She always thought the school ran later till mid afternoon. Took all her certificates and ran away, never stepping back to that hell of a place. She promised herself that.

Four years down the lane, she had changed various women’s hostels, went to night schools and worked at the malls as helper during the day. Just nine months back, after getting amazing results in her college degree, she got an unexpected yet high paying job in a multinational company and hence rented a small place that she could call her sweet home,which she never had in life, of which she had always dreamt of, which she loved the most in her life.

Watching the beautiful sunset from his lavish bungalow terrace, Adil khan was sipping that energy drink silently. It tasted OK, God knows why girls are such a fool to drink these to get them energized, there were loads of healthy food available in market. She was a young girl, a little bit slim, but not weak, then why this energy drink? She even had some dark circles under her beautiful eyes, her eyes, those were so deep, the sort of eyes that could speak a thousands words, he liked her long,curly eye lashes too. And her innocent face, she looked very sweet, all confused, puzzled when he went away with those drinks. Her lips were half opened and… Oh hell! What was he thinking of? It was true he was charmed by her innocent beauty, but wasn’t it that the next instant he got to know that she was a hateful, crazy and rude girl, slapping him! He

couldn’t ever be attracted to her, never! He could never like anything of her, nothing. He is just going to hate her, to teach her a lesson, to take the revenge of that slap on his face and ego.

It was already ten thirty at night and it raining cats and dogs. It was just the starting of the monsoons, and they seem to have created a havoc in the city. Its been raining heavily since morning, she had waited in her office waiting for it stop, but even after waiting more than an hour after the closing hours, when it didn’t stop, she started towards the bus stand. Most of the office staff had ready left, there was no taxi to be seen and according to her daily records, the last bus was destined to come withing ten minutes. But even ten minutes were enough to get her drenched to the chore. Any tiny infection can result in to a huge illness for her because of her low immunity power due to her condition. That was what her doctor had warned her about, that was the reason she was avoiding coming out in the rain the whole day. She couldn’t afford to catch a fever or cold at this time, this could end her up at hospital for all the days that were left for her.

[image error]

She had tiny tears in her eyes knowing how little time she had left in her life remaining. All her dreams of having a sweet family, marrying a handsome, understanding and kind man, who would love her as if she was the most special person on the earth and have cute little kids, lots of them. She loved babies and wanted to love and hold hers own and give them the best childhood, all the love she could give, because she never got that love during her childhood. They would all go after their father, the most stunning kids of the most handsome dad. Sober and loving just like their father. She always had the dream of marrying a man of these qualities.

Not like that cruel, monstrous Adil khan. That man was the most hateful and cruel being existing on the earth .What kind of man snatches cruelly away a medicinal prescription of a patient? That man should be slapped a multiple times because of his doings. It was because of him she had to take a day off from her office yesterday and go all the way for a journey four hours long to get a fresh stock of those drinks. Those were extremely important for her active lifestyle now. Her boss was becoming intolerant now because of her frequent holidays due to her illness, reports and check up. She has deliberately hidden her medical information from her colleagues and boss because she didn’t want anyone’s sympathy. And the truth is, who wants to hire an ill worker, they’ll all give her some amount for her medication and advice her to quit the job and get the best care in hospitals for her last days, and she didn’t wanted that at any cost.

Sometimes, its just work that keeps you going, she was living the same way.

She impatiently looked at her watch, there was still five minutes left for the bus to arrive. She have to catch it any cost, it was the last one today and there seem to be no other vehicle moving on the road because of the unstoppable rains for the whole day. She was already feeling the shiver, the bus stop was not much to accommodate her fully and spare her from getting wet. The chill in the air was adding to the body ache she felt because of the shivering. Who would

believe it was just the most sunny day yesterday. She didn’t like being so vulnerable and weak. She was getting Ill more frequently recently, nothing compared to the fear of dying at any moment. God help her! She sighed silently.

Suddenly, she saw the heads lights coming from the far side of the road. The bus was moving in an unusual speed. She came forward and waved her hands to signal it stop, though it did stop daily anyways, but in case they wouldn’t be able to see her because of the rains. She just couldn’t risk being left out stranded in an empty road at late night on a heavily rainy night.

Zooomm! The bus just sped away. She got haltered on her feet because of the fast speeds and rapidly stepped back. She stood in horror gazing back perplexed at the now moved out of sight bus. The heavy pouring rain seemed to be banging on her head now.

The headache was increasing, but all she was shocked! How can the bus driver and people could have not seen her. She was standing clearly almost in the middle of the road, waving her hand widely enough. They would have seen her clearly enough. Than why didn’t the bus stop? It wasn’t that it was over-rushed, it was almost half empty and whatever so, the bus used to stop daily at this stop, this was a prominent one and knowing that its the last one, the driver always made sure they stopped at each bus stop.

[image error]

Suddenly the over loud and continuous horn behind her made her turn back..She turned swiftly to see a black Mercedes ready to drive over her, the back window of the car slowly went down, the same piercing eyes with hatred in them was staring at her. He smiled slowly, the same challenging way as if repeating his words, “you’ll have to pay”! And sped off!

Next part coming tomorrow.

Cruel claim!

Read the second part here.

“I need twenty packs of that energy drink immediately now. The ones I have ordered?” “Yes ma’am, I will pack it immediately.” The salesman was about to turn when she called him from behind, “Hey, wait a minute! Make it thirty, these drinks are very essential for my health and is not available in the whole area. If it gets finished before time, I will have to travel for hours to get them.” She told the salesman.

“This is what I was looking for”. He smiled to himself. He knew very well what he should do next. He silently walked towards the Manager’s seat and approached him. “I need those energy drinks out there, he pointed towards the rack containing them.” “Yes sir! How many do you need them?” He asked politely. “How many do you have in stock?” He was getting impatient now. The manager seems to be in an alert position now, “Sir we have around two hundred and fifty packs, all fresh, got them all today.” “ok! So pack me all of them right now.” He took a glance on his watch and continued, “you have five minutes to do the needful. Let me know the total amount for payment” The manger was suddenly out of place. “But sir we can’t give you all right now. There’s a lady there who has an urgent need of it and have ordered it three days back especially through us. We have to provide her atleast some of the packs and there may be more customers for the need of it. You know, we can’t get another stock for another weak now.” “Look!” He banged his palm on his table, clenching his teeth to keep his voice low, yet powerful. “I want all of them stacked up in my car within five minutes, otherwise, you can start searching for your new job. I will buy your pharmacy within seconds and replace you with another intelligent manager.” He had that fiery in his eyes while he talked to

him. The salesperson gulped, “may I know your name sir?”

“Adil Khan! Its Adil Khan, you know me right?” The manager didn’t utter a word, he just ordered his man to stock up the drinks in his car and told him the total.

Adil Khan took out some notes from his wallet and handed him. The amount made the manager struggle for words, “sir, these are so..” “it’s ok! Keep the change!” He said carelessly and started towards his car.

Meanwhile, Sarah approached the manager, “please let me know my total amount.” “Actually mam! The energy drinks you ordered have been out of stock.” The manager said slowly. “Excuse me? What? How can this be possible I just told him to pack two dozens for me and I have ordered it especially from you people. I need them urgently, I showed your my prescription too. You know I can’t get it anywhere in the area, how am I going to get it then?” She went on. “I understand mam, but we can’t help it, this sir just bought all of them, he said he wanted it.’ “who’s, who’s this sir? I will talk to him. How can he buy off the whole stock of a certain thing that’s of medical importance to some people suddenly and how can you people sell him off like this. Did he show you his prescription card of it?” She was already feeling breathless, God! She needed that drink desperately now. “I am sorry mam, but we can’t do anything in this matter.” He shook his head showing all of his powers were lost now. “Ok! Where’s he?” She thought she could convince the man, anybody wouldn’t mind giving them some because of her urgency. The manager pointed towards the black Mercedes where the workers were busy piling up the energy drinks.

Sarah started taking some steps towards the car until that second when she stood like a statue on her place. He was the same person, staring her as be brought down the glass windows slowly and then intently stared at her with his fierce eyes with hatred in them that made her gulp. He then slowly put up the glass window and buzzz, went the car away.

Adil couldn’t help but smile widely on his first triumph. That reaction on her face, he remembered the shocked look of her eyes and her open mouthed expression, now let’s see how is she going to find this energy drink in the whole area. So what if he couldn’t find her name and address, this start was nothing less. The rest, his detective can do. He continued smiling the rest of the way.

Sarah was there all white. She didn’t knew he would actually mean it when he said he’s going to make her pay. This is insane. How can he buy the whole set of those energy drinks that he didn’t need just to make her pay. This would have cost him thousands, strange man wasting thousands of his hard earned money just to make her suffer. But, what would she do now. She was hardly going on her with her normal work, she needed those gulps of energy drinks timely to give her some amount of strength. Her doctor have prescribed the same especially for her, because she didn’t want to get admitted in hospital. She didn’t want her last days of her life to be spent miserably at the hospital waiting for death to come and engulf her one day. She wanted to live, just like all others are living, without the fear of near coming death, or this new fear of Mr. What Khan… God knows what was his name, he said, something with A, may be because of the illness and weakness, her memory is deteriorating day by day.

She stood on the near by stool, now thinking what was she going to do next, where can she get those drinks now. They were rare, not all products suited her condition and these were available only by special order. She have to get them without fail that’s for sure. She can’t wait for the whole week and depend on this store to get her, they may be his men and would again deliver him the same. But how can she travel all those miles down the hills in this condition? God help her!

She started walking slowly towards home, already feeling weak. The feeling that she was exhausted of both strength and those drinks made her more week. She was about to cry of her miserable life. May be she should get admitted in the hospital, let life end slowly in the most hateful surrounding, may be there would be nurses and others to care for her. She wouldn’t have to go on with her journey, her last journey alone. Struggling at each step.

Fourth part coming tomorrow…….
