Chapter 40

Holding the walls as the blood formed a trail she walked down the stairs slowly , trembling , falling , standing and again trembling , her body felt to fall right now and just don't wake but her heart won't. She dragged herself to the main gate when she saw the security guard standing there , she took a deep breath.

Holding the gun once more in her hands she pointed it at him and walked out , his eyes felt on the girl who just came out half dead , he took up the rifle slowly to stop her, when the gun fired and he felled to the ground with his blown finger along with the rifle , she closed her eyes in fear , her heart sank as she heard his painful scream , holding herself she walked up the door , taking a look at the injured guard she trembled outside.

Lifting herself up , she ran on the road with the gravel piercing her bare foots... This is not she , this is certainly not her , she couldn't handle someone's pain but now she is giving them , she is giving pain .

She looked up at the burning sun and before she could step further she saw the rushing car behind her , she knew it , escaping this will never be so easy afterall. She held the gun more tightly , four more bullets to her last hope  She looked as a man sat in a car , looking at the cars rushing towards her , she rushed to the car panting.

"Please , I need to go to the court.", The man looked up in shock at the girl brutally injured.

"Move off ", he started the car.

Holding the gate she sat in.

"Hey how dare you move out ",

She pointed the gun at his forehead.

"Court ....... now.", She uttered holding herself not to fall unconscious. The man looked at her in horror , he pressed the accelerator as the car rushed , the rushing SUVs behind came running behind her.

"Faster....", She shouted holding the gun at his forehead.

The man freezed as the metal body touched his forehead. The car rushed faster , a tear ran down her eyes , her fist doesn't have the camera anymore .She bited her lips as the pain in the forearm now became untolerable to her.

"My Lord it's crystal clear they have no proofs and we are wait for your judgement , hope you give the best suited punishment to this inhuman murderer , people like him , has no right to be alive.",

The prosecution sat down smiling after giving his final statement.

Defence was quiet and so was the court , the judge sipped down some water and looked at Vansh who still had no interest in what was happening there , his eyes were fixed at the door .

"Do you have something to say...", The judge looked at Vansh. He turned his head as his thoughts broke , when his own family still believes he is a criminal , do he need to justify himself and if yes then for whom, he looked at Aryan and Ishani who still had the same bitterness on there faces for him.

He turned to the door , probably he would had said something but his only strength is also not here today , for whom should he prove himself for this double faced world , he don't care.

The judge took up the pen and sighed at culprit.

The car chased her while he held the gun to his forehead , gulping down the fear the man had never experienced death from so close. She looked as the cars came more closer ,"Will you drive faster....",

"Ma'am please leave me I beg you.....",

Riddhima looked at him in frustration.

"Ma'am I will never deny anyone for lift please leave me.",

"Shut up and drive .....", She looked at the car which were just behind them now and before she could ask him to be faster , there was hit as the rushing car dashed into theirs , the car lost it control and ran into the wall , which couldn't hold it's speed and felled down. The gun felled from her hand as the car stoped with a jerk and the glass broke.

She looked at the man who went into a shock , she knew that the glass just pierced on her hand , taking out the glass piece , this are now common injuries for her. The cars stopped behind her.

A tear felled down her eyes , she won't go back , opening the door she trembled to the ground , the guards walked upto her smiling went they suddenly froze to there spot....

Riddhima looked up at them , she expected they would drag her out with her hairs but they were still, she turned and stood up as hope sparkled in her eyes , broken by world but still survived.

The court building was infront of her eyes and the police officials came running down to check the car which dashed into it's boundary. Riddhima broke into tears.

Taking up heavy steps she walked just to reach there before she leaves her body.....

"The defense is not able to prove anything...", The judge uttered, Kabir smirked and here he wins. No one can fail him, no one has that power because in this world there is only one player and its him , Tears felled down Pihu's eyes , she lost everything... Vansh turned to the judge finally , after waiting for one hour , she didn't came and now he will go without even seeing her .

"All the proofs , witness , acts and documents prove Mr. Vansh Raisinghania was solely responsible for all this , and this inhuman crime is committed by him only , thus the court holds him guilty for this and....",

"Vansh........", Riddhima shouted. Vansh turned to the door , Pihu stood up in an unusual happiness , the crowd turned and the time just stopped...

She entered trembling , blood running down her forehead to her cheeks , cloths teared up and burned at ends , her broken lips and burned body , her dieing eyes and the brutally tortured skin. She walked in slowly as the crowd stood up at the horrific view they saw before there eyes, holding her forearm, she looked up with her unconscious eyes ...

Pihu ran up to her in shock , Kabir stood there still , no she can't win from him , she can't be here , no , he looked at the prosecutor.

"Who is this girl now.", the  prosecutor tried to the topic but sorry , no more space for games was the call.

"Riddhima ", Vansh shouted , jumping off the barrel , he ran to her when the official caught him.

"Riddhima ", he shouted restlessly trying to free himself from the grip , he looked at her and broking into tears , what she had made of herself , she is so brutally injured.

"Riddhima ", he uttered as he felled to the ground while the office held him mercilessly.

Riddhima felt to the ground losing her consiousness , lifting her head slowly up , she could feel everything has slowed down , Pihu rushing to her slowly , the officials dragging him back slowly. He taking her name slowly , she had a broken smile on her face, dragging herself towards him , she just wanted to hold his hand for a last time , last time.

And before there hands could meet, the officials dragged him back while he splashed restlessly , her hand feld to the ground as Pihu caught it , holding Riddhima , Pihu patted her cheeks crying...

"Riddhi.....", She broke into tears.

Riddhima looked up at her , holding her face with her trembling hands ,she wiped off Pihu's tears , Pihu looked at her hands sooked in blood . Resting her head in her arms Pihu patted her face again .

Riddhima felt finally she was home , finally in hands who would caress her wounds, finally she saw them before........ finally somewhere safe , she turned to Vansh but not before she saves him ...

Taking out the glass which had pierced in her shoulder with a sharp cry , she looked at Pihu and smiled. Pihu looked at her crying , Riddhima slowly kept the glass at her forearm.

Vansh eyes brodened as she kept the sharp glass on her wrist , "No Riddhima..", he shouted grabbed in hands of official , Pihu eyes opened and before she could understand ,  Riddhima blew the glass off her wrist...

"Riddhi...", Pihu shouted in shock.

Riddhima smiled , all this while this forearm was troubling her so much , the infection was growing , the things which had pierced in was paining brutally. She was not able to hold this, but there was a reason she beared this pain for , there was a reason she did nothing to stop this unbearable pain in her forearm...... There was a reason she let the pain take her life out slowly.

It was time to get out the things which had pierced in , pierced in bent to take the life out of her , her skin tored as the glass piece flashed , dropping the glass off her hands she took out the tiny troublesome object out of her skin with a sharp cry, panting heavily as it digged out of her skin , she held Pihu's hand .

Turning her head to Vansh , she smiled as her eyes closed and her hand felled off Pihu's;  keeping in the tiny camera floating in her blood ...
