CHAPTER 31

CHAPTER 31 : Twisted Decisions

--------------------------------------------------------

Rudhra :

Give me the file , but not here

In private .

That scumbag got great hackers , she might tamper the information

Sabrie stared at the text for a good five minutes. She didn't know what to do. She was always afraid to meet the people she worked with , because of how she was in real life . In the virtual world she was the coolest hacker , but in reality , she was just one silly chubby girl , who was always lonely .

She didn't know what kind of image Rudhra had for her . If it's the perfect hot hackers like shown in the movies or some geek cute nerd . Now a matter of fact was , she didn't care what exact image Rudhra formed or thinks when he first sees her . It was Seth she was worried about . She didn't want Seth to take her un-seriously .

She bit her lower lip thinking about this while swinging on her chair.

Trojan

Okay let's meet.

She typed with hesitation . Because Rudhra's words weren't wrong.

Mrs Z was known for her mischief. She ended up playing 'Abhi toh party shuru hui hai' in Khalid's right hand man's funeral , after killing him . Each and every person who was present there , got their phones hacked .

She was a menace.

Rudhra

Give me location

I will pick you up

Trojan

Let's meet at Lajpat at 6 tomorrow

Give me some treat too , to get you this info

Rudhra

Of course but only if the info is correct

But till then , just tell me one thing.

Is Doc and Z the same ?

Trojan

Yes

Rudhra put his phone down taking a deep breath. It was the very first time , in the past years when he felt confused about what decision he should take .

Till then he decided to kidnap Zeheb and torture her for the acts she is pulling. Because a part of him knew that even if Augustus gets to know about her deeds he will just protect her and he didn't wanted that . And neither did he wanted Augustus to feel hesitant to love again , so he felt it was better if he kills Zeheb and just made her a good memory for Augustus as his nice sweet ex-wife who died under mysterious circumstances.

He knew that she and Augustus are going to be here in India too , at 4 am tomorrow

----------

The next day arrived soon , and Zeheb was resting in her room tired from the long trip. Augustus was outside , to meet one of his old friends .

"Ma'am , sir sent this juice for you" a voice told her . It was a slow voice and could almost feel as if someone was faking the tone . Zeheb was sleepy , and failed to notice it.

"Tell Gus , I don't want to drink it" She mumbled . The man in the mask and cap just stood there.

"It's mango juice ma'am" the boy added and Zeheb forced her eyes open . She couldn't refuse a mango juice .

With closed eyes , she drank the juice . She put the glass on tray , but frowned when she saw the man still not going .

"Go away now" she said trying to not sound rude . She put her head on the pillow . Her eyes fell on the wall. The shadow of the man still didn't moved .

"YOU!" She got up with irritation, but her head felt heavy and her legs felt paralyzed. Before she could actually realise what was happening , Rudhra removed his mask and cap.

"I hope you liked the juice ma'am . Almost as much , as I liked the betrayal you gave my friend" He said . She wanted to shout but her throat felt dry and she felt that she would choke on her own voice.

Rudhra grabbed her harshly by her hair and slammed her head against the wall in anger making her fall limp for once and for all .

He put her in a new garbage box , he just got and again put on the mask and cap , carrying her out of the house in that box , in disguise of a servant .

---------

Rudhra walked in the dark room where Zeheb was laying down badly beaten up . Her knuckles were bleeding and she was covered in countless wounds and knife marks .

"You would seriously be regretting trying to play off my friend . Now aren't you?" Rudhra asked crouching down and squeezing her cheeks hard enough to draw blood from her lips . She winced but chuckled.

She didn't cared to answer his words.

"When Augustus finds about it-You are dead" Zeheb told him .

"Really ?" Rudhra laughed embarrassed at her guts.

"Because as far as I know , Augustus already knows about it . Did you really thought I will know that you love mango juice without him telling me ? And I can just find kidnap you like that? Be realistic" Rudhra lied .

In the party checklist, he realised that most deserts were mango flavoured , even the shakes. It didn't took a genius to know that she liked mangos .

"Keep lying , maybe I will believe it someday" Zeheb sarcastically said , while tugging her hairs behind her ears. Her forehead was covered with sweat and blood .

"I will assume , denial is the first stage of grief , because why will Augustus really pay attention to a lier, who even lied about having a kid?" Rudhra asked and kicked her in the stomach making her fall back .

"I-" she started, but the smirk soon disappeared from her face and only pain was visible .

"RUDHRA! OPEN THE DOOR! RUDHRA!"

Rudhra ignored her voice and walked off, ignoring the crying and screaming which started to come from inside the room.

'I won't fall into any of her tricks' Rudhra thought .

He thought that Zeheb was behind misguiding Kalyani on the wrong way too , and it was now more of a personal revenge on both levels .

What worried him more was the sudden disappearance of Kalyani too . Everything was out of the place .

1 month later

Rudhra was sitting with his friends . Fawad was drinking the juice on the side.

"Any information about Trojan?" He asked Rudhra and Rudhra shook his head. She was missing since the day she told Rudhra that she will meet him .

"And any information about Zeheb?" Fawad asked and Rudhra shook his head again . He hated to see how miserable Augustus was without her . But he knew he needed to do that .

"Rudhra , I made you incharge . Why aren't you able to find a darn thing about my wife ?! Find that scumbag who kidnapped her . I will show him what a real life hell is" Augustus angrily said . It was difficult for him to control his anger nowadays and he just lashed out on people because of it.

"Calm down . Rudhra is trying" Seth sighed. He hated to see Augustus this worried . He just overworked himself or just laid down for hours holding down the dress his wife used to wear.

"We will get her soon Augustus" Rudhra dryly said . He hated lying to him ,but he knew what he was doing.

He have stopped going to the torture house , since the last time he kicked her . He had put few girls to torture her up from time to time , but nothing serious , because he wanted to know about Kalyani too.

------

After the long day at work and the tiring meeting with his friends , Fawad went home. Safia looked at him , with a slight frown .

"What happened Mr Siddiqui?" She asked him.

"It's just-I am worried about what is happening. Zeheb and Sabrie are missing. The man you told me about seems to have disappeared from the world too . If Sabrie was here , she would have found him in an hour" Fawad irritatedly said and walked towards the bed . Safia climbed upon the bed following where her husband was .

"Why don't you look for that girl Firdaus?" Safia asked him.

"Firdaus who?" Fawad asked.

"The girl who was with that man . Her name was Firdaus , as far as I remember it , also it shouldn't be too hard to find her—Atleast I think so . She was tan skinned with deep ocean blue eyes and she had this certain Spanish tone . I don't know for sure if that was the Spanish tone , but that's what the movies tell the Spanish tone is" Safia mumbled.

"Spanish? I will look up into it . Thanks Safia" Fawad thanked her , and looked at her , he tugged her hairs behind her face , making Safia freeze , as she let him do as he desired.

His rough palms felt so gentle against her cheek , and in no time Fawad cupped her left cheek . He stared at her face and their eyes met , it was as if it wasn't just an eye contact , but something way more deeper than it . He could feel as if she was staring deep into his soul , and could understand why the artists always said that eyes are the gates of souls.

He leaned near her face and stared at her face for a few seconds to inspect if she was uncomfortable, but she wasn't. Instead she closed her eyes and poured waiting for a kiss , but it made Fawad break into a laugh , as he pulled away . Safia opened her eyes realising the kiss never came, and frowned when she saw him laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked grumpily.

"Because—You are cute" Fawad said honestly.

"You are very cute Safia" Fawad smiled , and Safia's anger vanished in thin air and she tugged her hairs back blushing.

"Whatever" She mumbled and before she could get up and go outside , Fawad grabbed her hands and pulled her towards his own self . Their bodies collided onto each other at this step . Her eyes widened . Her head was against Fawad's chest and he pecked her the top of her head, and she just clenched on the soft duvet beside them blushing furiously, and pushed her own head against his chest .

But what they didn't know was that someone's evil eye was upon their blossoming love .

To be continued....

Okay sooo-I have mixed opinion about this chapter . While one might hate Rudhra , it's important to know that he did it for the sake of his friend. Yeah - I am sad , because Zeheb is very dear to my heart too
