Dev ~I came to a little far distance panting from the backyard, where still I can see it a bit tiny in my vision…Why the hell are they investigating me? I closed my eyes and thought and thought about what to do next. And finally reached on an idea.All the three were still standing near the door and were discussing something. I had never been angry with them. My violent nature is just for others and not my team. Sh*t what have I done? I thought about rubbing my hands on my face, feeling tense. Whatever it may be before they further investigate I'll succeed with my idea tomorrow before my boys wake up.Writers POV~The car stood at a deserted place, a dried arid land, like no rain has fallen since decades on it. "Sir, why have we come here?" Enquired Romil. "I'll let you know my boy," said the Commissioner. Instead of focusing on the case, he's brought me here, why? Romil's curiosity was on pique. "Here. This is the land where I had my first encounter with Dev. Can you see the bl
Dev ~I was startled by the thought that I've been caught. I turned away for a bit, shutting my eyes tight in regret. Why lord? Why? I know they must have been planning on me to catch me red-handed. I am a very bad actor, yesterday I did the worst acting. But, what should I have done? I have never been in this kind of situation before. I turned to face them, finally. "Boss, we asked you— who's she?" they repeated. Me, not wanting to utter anything, was forced to spill the beans. Touching my ear guiltily I replied, " she.. umm, she was just peering in here, I saw her and just wanted to throw her out.""Please boss, are you trying to fool us? We know it all. Please tell us the truth. Till when are you gonna hide it from us? " Mayank said frustratingly. "Yes boss, yesterday you told us not to open the door, and you have never said that. Were you hiding that girl?. If so, for what?" asked Raghav. "Okay fine." I sighed upon the fact that I have to tell them everything, every truth. T
Romil~Sir had told me a very different thing, which I still couldn't fathom. His face when he explained to me how we are going to take down Dev was metaphysical. The light on his face told me that everything's gonna be fine and we will be able to catch Dev one day or the other.But one thing was making me restless. Why did he choose this path of the plan and why not others? it's very very risky for the person who's going to do it. And fortunately and unfortunately both, I was sad and happy simultaneously, that person was not at all me. Obviously, questions raised why not me? He trusts me with his instincts then why not?Asking myself this question was also not proper as he had mentioned earlier he would not like to involve me in such dangerous matters. I stand at a very important point in his life, he considers me as his son, so it's baseless to ask such questions to myself about why not me?I remember he had also told me that— that person has a motive to do so and is equally intelli
Inside the asylum as usual there is complete silence. After Shalmali disappeared from there mostly the asylum remained quiet. She was the only one who would make lots of chaos and shout there. Here, in the asylum she was free because from the 5 years she was here, she was not frightened, instead she used to make others scared of her unusual behaviour. But, at Dev's place it was new for her and Dev was not the one who would get scared of her or people like her easily instead, he makes others' pants wet.The main doctor who was treating Shalmali arrived in the morning with lots of files in his hands. Everyone was quiet inside seeing him. After the incident happened and he took the whole asylum on his head going mad after Shalmali's disappearance nobody is free to talk with him. Everybody bowed low when he entered the main reception. They didn't even have the mouths to greet him good morning."Listen everyone,"the doctor called, stopping at the reception.Everybody was getting chills to
Dev ~I look straight inside, peeping, my eyes piercing the window of the police station. The time I left my place was to come here. My reason for coming here was to See if Pankaj is doing well or not. For six months he is captive. Don't know how he must be doing. And don't know how many harsh beatings he must have taken for me, but still have not uttered a word.I slowly and quietly visited the police station putting a mask on my face which covered my nose and lips but kept my eyes open. From outside, each month I used to visit him in silence. He didn't know of this anytime that I visited. I used to just look for him and go. The first window in which I was peeping was unfortunately the commissioners cabin. The second was of another police official. Damn! have they shifted him to some other prison? I questioned myself as I couldn't find him anywhere. I am a master in climbing windows and coming down from them. There was no one outside the police station, I mean there were two police
"So you're telling me that your boss has it, " says mahesh shekhawat."Yes boss, " replies himansh."How much money will he give me for this task? " asks shekhawat."How much do you want, sir? " asks himansh."You are saying as if you are having tons of money. " chuckles shekhawat."Of course we have it. You just say and we will pay you," shrugs himansh."Okay. I agree but, has your boss already killed santosh? " asks Shekhawat, raising a brow. "Yes, he must have. There's nothing that my boss keeps pending," answers himansh confidently. Santosh is the same guy whom Dev had murdered in the asylum. It was mahesh shekhawat who had ordered him to do so. Shekhawat and Dev both had some grudges against him. And for this they came together and thought of killing santosh. As per information, santosh was a small grade smuggler who had robbed shekhawat and gave the information about Dev's whereabouts to the police. Santosh was working at shekhawat's place earlier but shekhawat threw him out
Dev ~"So, you all were playing with her then?" I inquired."Yes, boss, you are right," responded Mayank."But trust us, boss, she was all good," Suraj interrupted."You all know right that we are planning to take Pankaj from their clutches? Then why are you people not understanding the intensity of it? Y'all are playing with her, entertaining her but don't care about your fellow member? I am very aggrieved," I meant. "I will let this both slide, but Raghav you, you knew very well where I was visiting. Weren't you?"I asked, my eyes flitting at him."I know my boss and I am sorry for that, but she was made to stay here, so she should have been made livable first. You saw she was dreading seeing us, right?" deciphered Raghav, apologetically.When shalmali hugged me for the second time, I don't know why but it felt gentle, warm and cosy. I have never ever once felt like that. She trusts me, does she?If so, why? I have solely mistreated her the whole time. Why is she affectionate towar
Dev ~"What is the furore there about?" I asked looking over my shoulder while cleaning her wound.They both got quiet upon my loud voice."Boss nothing, Mayank was telling me what he had prepared for the dinner. Nothing else," Suraj explained."So what's there to laugh about?" I asked."We were just...umm," he faltered."Let it be. I don't want to hear now, may whatever the thing be," I said.I cleaned her wound carefully as I do on my own. I usually clean and treat my own wounds. Each and every member does that for themselves. The wound which she has got is a minor one but I had the wounds of bullets and knives of fists and fights.I applied ointment on her wound later, caressing it. She had got some abrasions on her hands and face too. I managed to clean and treat them too.I bandaged a few of the scars, which went deep into her skin, after applying the ointment. All the way up till here she was uneventful, trying not to make a sound and enduring all the pain no matter how much it
