Chapter 9 The perfect snap

Darsh was enjoying his peaceful time in Dehradun, he was clicking many snaps for his memories. Memories play an important part in his life as from the time he was a child be used to seeing the pics of his parents, their college days and their trip together. 

  The pictures are more than any treasure to him as it was the only thing his parents left for him. He always loved to listen to stories about his parent's childhood, and then their love story and of course of his birth. His grandparents told him how precious he was to his parents and how both the Narang family and Singhania family were delighted from his birth.

   He had some videos of his childhood when his mother was playing with him, singing lullabies for him. Her mother was very good at singing

.Sometimes he just wished that the accident could never happen so… 

     Anyhow he knew that he is too precious to his grandparents and they tried their best to give him the love and care that his parents must have given him.

  But still, in his heart, he sometimes craved his parents' love. Many times he thought about his sibling, what if he had a little brother or sister who would give him some hard time.

    For whom he should have cared as he promised to his parents, he was blessed with two cousin brothers Aryan and Arnav who never failed to make him smile by their pranks and evil deeds. He didn't remember how many times he saved them from the scolding of his elders. Every time the twin brothers swear that it was the last time but after some time of peace they again get back to their evil self. Still, he loves them unconditionally; he knew that the twins respect him and obey his strict orders, after all, they three are the future of the Singhania empire.

   Darsh checked the time it was not so late so he connected a video to his favourite person and that is none other than piyali Singhania, his Choti ma.

    Piyali, who had just returned from a party, was overwhelmed at the call from her favourite son so she didn't waste time and picked it up still calling for her family.

    Only Arnav, Aryan were present there so they rushed by their mother's side as they didn't talk to darsh for some days as he was on a desertion trip where calling is not allowed. A rule made by darsh for his peaceful trip and to his relief, everyone in his family respect his decision.

"Hi bhai how is Dehradun did you buy something got us haan "arnav screamed in joy  from another side 

  " Bhai you know Dehradun is also famous for its…." 

   Piyali pushed Aryan from the screen ' leave you moron let me see my son., darsh my son what happened to you why are you looking so weak haan? Just wait, I will call that moron Kabir. He did this arrangement for your stay haan."

     "Chotima, you always say this, I am fine and I always look thin to you hmmm so just relax and tell me how are you all."

"   We all are good, but missing you as always when will you return hmm.?"

"  Just in a few days, tell me what I should bring for you?"

"  Bhai is not fair, you should ask us about gifts and worry about mom as she will never ask you for any gift."

   Piyali smacked on his head and again snatched the phone, Darsh smiled at his family's bantering, he always love to talking them as they made him smile in some minutes .suddenly darsh noticed that piyali is all dressed up in a saree with a diamond set and light makeup so he decided to ask and stop their bantering 

Choti maa, you are looking so beautiful in this saree, you know saree suits you a lot"Darsh was talking to his family on a video call, his siblings were also present there.

" Thank u baccha, you know my club friend Kirti na, it was her daughter in law's baby shower .you know his son Vibhu is younger than you, she was doing so much show off as, she was the first lady in our circle who is going to be a grandmother. I don't know if I will become a dadi (grandmother) in this life or not, "piyali stated in the last line wiping fake tears.

Darsh very well knew where this conversation is going., so he just kept silent.

"You want to become a dadi, that's not a big deal mom. Just get me married. I will fulfil your wish in one year. I promise to you I will give you a grandchild every year until you tell me to stop " Arnav commented in between.

" Shut up you shameless boy, Your big brother is still a bachelor and you want to get settled. It's my first darsh's turn to get married. Hai na darsh."

"Choti ma, I am feeling very tired now, goodnight, see you soon".darsh cleverly dodged the question.

After a full day of trekking, he was really tired. The guide who accompanied him for trekking told him about some nice spots where you can click beautiful snaps .Vishnu came to know about darsh photography, so he just tried to suggest perfect locations in Dehradun. 

The next morning Darsh was going to meet a property dealer, to see the site that Singhania's were planning to buy. He strictly told Kabir to hide his identity from the broker. The broker was only informed that Kabir Rawat's friend is going to visit the site. Darsh always used to hide his identity in his desertion trip.

The broker came at the given time and took him to different sites that are the best options for their business. Darsh liked only two among them. The meeting ended at 4 in the afternoon. The formalities were getting done by the broker. As it was near sunset time. Darsh decided to click a snap of the perfect sunset from the location that the guide has suggested. 

He left for the point, as it will take one hour to reach there. He parked his SUV along the roadside and started going inside the woods to reach the location.

He reached deep into the forest while clicking photos, and suddenly he felt a movement in the peaceful atmosphere. He moved nearer to the noises and suddenly someone collided with his chest. He grabbed her by her waist, his brown eyes met the blue ones, next to her beautiful features, fair colour and black long hair falling on her face.

" SAVE ME" was the only word he heard from her mouth. She quickly changed her position and hid behind his back clutching his shoulders tightly, as for the sake of her life.

She muttered HELP ME looking straight forward, as she was terrified of someone. 

" Leave my sleeve and stay back " darsh replied rudely.

Sanjana left his shoulders and went five steps back behind his back. The goons reached there in two minutes Darsh looked at the goons and then looked back at the girl.

"Hey man! , you should go from here if you love your life .she is our prey, don't you dare to interfere between us "the goon ordered darsh.

Darsh lifted his hands in the air, in surrender.

" Ohh! so you people are going to rape her, so who is going to rape her first

should come forward and take her "

After listening to this Sanjana's tears started falling again ." Yeh Kaisa aadmi bheja hai, Kanha ".(What kind of man did you send to help me my God )
