CHAPTER 64

CHAPTER 64 : Game Over

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

"Jamal...JAMAL!!" Khalid shouted at the top of his lungs entering his hidden base . It was a building which appeared to be under construction. Behind him was his other friend Ramesh.

Ramesh was holding a lady in his hands tightly as she was struggling to be in her place .

"LEAVE ME !!" She shouted , struggling . Her face was covered with her abaya but her eyes filled with fury were visible.

"How can I? You are my free pass to Dubai" Khalid said while putting a cigarette against his lips.

"Khalid...Please.." She requested trying to calm her anger , but Khalid just ignored her walking inside his base. It was still under construction.

"JAMAL!" He shouted again . Jamal should have been here by this time , but he wasn't. Leaving that aside , Khalid kicked the door of the room where Jamal usually sat angrily . But it left him speechless.

A dead body lay on the ground belonging to Jamal . Blood was oozing out of his head soaking the floor red .

"Surprise!!" Rudhra excitedly said with a can of beer in his hand and a gun. Rudhra only had a scratch on his cheek while Jamal's whole face was filled with injuries, showcasing a clear duel with an evident winner.

Khalid's heart sank . He couldn't believe they discovered his base. How could it be possible . But he tried to keep himself calm.

"Where...where are the two ba-" Khalid asked , trying to call out for Zayan and Fawad .

They both appeared from behind . Zayan was dressed up in his signature black pathani with cuffed sleeves while Fawad was wearing his grey suit .

"Woah...A whole fashion show to kill me!" Khalid chuckled.

"Of course, we gotta throw a whole damn party because the problem of our lives is going to end today" Zayan simply said .

"Great...Go ahead and shoot me . But just remember that it's your wife's head which will be shot too" Khalid smiled.

"My wife ain't here" Zayan told Khalid.

"You sure?" Khalid's question was enough for them to question their entire plan . Zayan stopped and stared at Khalid .

"My wife isn't here..right?" He asked with a slight frown . His voice sounded broken.

"I will let my guard answer that ...until I go out " Khalid said and started to head outside . Nobody moved an inch , Zayan's eyes remained frozen on the girl in front of her struggling to get out of the grip .

"Go get him Fawad !" Rudhra angrily said.

"I-" Fawad hesitated not knowing the exact thing he should do.

"You shouldn't do that , unless you want her brain out of her head" Ramesh warned with a dirty smirk upon his lips.

Rudhra groaned. The whole place was filled with dead bodies in every room . They were on the verge of winning until Khalid pulled out this move.

"Why don't we do one thing old man . Give this woman , and I give you your life . Because either way...You got the wrong girl...I am just rewarding you for your loyalty" Rudhra asked.

"She's not the wrong girl.." The man laughed.

"Said who?" Zayan asked trying to play along .

"My boss" he confidently said.

"Oh okay dad's playing the trick he play on every guard . He has just left you as bait here, so that he can have time to escape...tell me , Uncle wasn't able to find his wife , how was your dad able to do so?" Fawad asked and the man stood straight questioning his entire existence.

"You-I—You will leave me right , if I just silently go?" The man asked his mind was almost blank because it was a last moment plan for him to kidnap a girl whome Khalid asked him to.

"BUT WAIT!!! If she's not the wife , then why are you leaving me for her?!" He asked with excited look as if he have actually achieved something.

"Well...every life counts you know.." Fawad shrugged.

The man gave a slight nod realising that now that Fawad was turning good , he didn't wanted just anyone to die.

"Leave it ,kill this woman and I will kill you . It's all too much work to save just a woman" Rudhra said .

"Fine fine ..I will leave her. Why should we even retort to killing? Let's all live in peace. Let's not kill anyone" The man chuckled nervously finding no way out of it .

"Sure.."Fawad said and the man quickly left the lady and waved at them with a smile heading outside .

With each step , he felt nervous . He feared that he might get shot , but instead of going after him , Rudhra and Fawad ran outside to catch Khalid .

Letting Zayan reconcile with his wife.

They were scared that Khalid night run away , but thankfully , he was just trying to get his car out of the hole where it was stuck . Due to the rain , all the roads were in a crusty condition with water filled holes.

Khalid was sure that his guard would be holding them back , but only if he knew how wrong he was . He spent his life making fake connections and now all of it was turning against him.

"I think you should stop it all dad." Fawad gave a tight liped smile.

"Exactly uncle , I bet your knees will start hurting if you continue" Seth said coming from the side.

The rain continued to fall over their heads and Rudhra was standing in front of Khalid , still trying to get himself believe that after it , it would surely end.

Khalid turned his head up , and stared at all of them with horror filled eyes. He knew his time was over now . Fawad held a gun against his forehead.

"Goodbye father" Fawad said and was about to pull a trigger while Khalid walked closer to him .

"Kill me my son, I-I don't deserve to live. I, I wish someone showed me love too, the way Safia showed you love" Khalid said with utter disbelief and sadness .

His words were fake , filled with poison yet it didn't failed to make Fawad's hand feel weak.

"What are you waiting for ? Shoot him Fawad . He's just lying . He would have never changed " Seth said with shock , that Khalid's words were still effecting Fawad.

"I wish..I wish had another chance" Khalid repeated wanting to melt Fawad's heart . It was almost morning by this time . His heart sank , but he remembered Safia's face . Her words but the memories were accompanied by Khalid's warning to kill her . He straightened his hand again ready to shoot Khalid .

"DON'T!" A small voice shouted from the side . The small boy whome Khalid had left earlier in the mansion had came . He has tear filled eyes , watching his foster father surrounded by a group of men.

"Kid , please go away" Seth requested, not wanting to traumatize the kid .

"Don't touch him..otherwise...I-I will shoot" The boy said with his hands trembling . The tears were visible in his eyes even amidst the rain .

Fawad was taken aback . He saw his younger self in this boy , who was forced to shoot to save the life of his friend.

"Take him away for now Rudhra" Fawad said sighing not wanting to push the past he had on this kid too , although he was surprised that the kid had a gun.

"No ! Give him to me ! Don't take him away" The boy begged, but Rudhra just grabbed the hand of Khalid kicking him to sit inside their car which was parked slightly away.

Khalid's face collapsed against the car's door and bled.

Seeing Khalid's condition, and the boy shot Fawad with tear filled eyes in anger . The gun fell down the kids hand seeing what he had done . His hands were shaking .

Seth turned his head trying to look at Fawad to see if he was really okay , hoping that the bullet had just touched his body slightly. But it had hit his gut. His stomach was bleeding and Fawad's vision blurred out .

He touched his stomach to make sure if what he felt wasn't a bad dream . The crimson blood painted the painful reality to him.

Khalid chucked seeing this in the car . Out of anger Augustus who has just appeared on the scene , pulled Khalid out , shooting him 10 times in his body . Khalid's eyes were darted in shock at the pain . His body moved with the force of every bullet making the boy cry out loudly.

Rudhra kicked Khalid's body knowing he was still alive. The last breaths of Khalid was filed with pain . He felt his soul leaving his body with pain . With a final gasp , Khalid took his last breath.

Seth quickly held Fawad , carrying him in the car as his other friends joined in worry . Seth's hands were shaking thinking about Safia .

Fawad held Seth's hand tightly clenching on it . His nails digging into the skin of his brother . Tears of pain rolled down his eyes mixing with the rain water.

He was trying to say something, his voice was stuck in his throat .

"What are you trying to say Fawad..

I am not able to understand" Seth worriedly said.

"Will...will she hate me?" Fawad asked . His heart was filled with worry for Safia. He had promised to be there with her for her birthday, but he wasn't there.

"She won't . She won't " Seth tried to reassure him . His own tears falling down by this time. Augustus looked behind with the mirror in the car , but continued to drive the car as swiftly as he could making his way towards the hospital.
