A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 127

Pooja looked up in shock, as Sonakshi slapped her.

There were tears in her eyes too.
Rohit also looked stunned. He had never seen Sonakshi raise her voice with any of his family members, much less hit them. She was trembling now with anger.
Pooja continued crying.

'I swear, Bhabi! Jaan boojh ke nahin kiya..it was a mistake.'

'Mistake? Mistake? Mistake woh ho sakta hai ke ghalti se kisi ke pair pe charr gaye. Kisi ke ooper gaari le ke charr gaye mistake kahan se hui? Didn't you even see what your so called mistake did? Ek insaan..for God's sake, a childs' life was in the midst of life and death..' Sonakshi was furious.

'Pooja! Tum aisa kaise kar sakti ho?'
Rohit looked upset too.

Pooja got off the floor and stood up.

'I swear Bhai..believe me Bhabi..'

'How can I believe you? Agar ghalti hui thi, to why did you run away?' Sonakshi asked.

Rohit looked as if he just received a blow.

'Are you serious? Tum..tum accident kar ke bhaag gayin? Yehi upbringing di hai Nishi Bua or YK ne tumhe? I can't believe this!'

Pooja touched Rohit's arm, but he moved slightly.

'Bhai, please..aisa nahin hai..'

'Phir kaisa hai Pooja? Do you even know what that little boy went through? He could have died!'
Rohit had raised his voice.

Pooja cried harder and put her palms over her ears. Rohit had never in his life shouted at her.

'No! No! Please don't say that..'

'Phir kya bolain? Tum jaanti ho ke uss ke saath kya hua? There was bleeding in his brain, he broke his bones, he still can't talk! Or tum..tum..'
Sonakshi couldn't continue for the tears clogging her throat.

'Mein darr gayi thi, Bhabi! I swear! Mein bohot darr gayi thi..I wasn't looking at the road..I saw you, to mein idhar dekhne lagi. Jab mujhe pata chala..to I was numb. Phir jab sab bhaagay uss ki taraf, aap bhi, to mein..maine gaari bhaga li..'

Rohit was shaking his head. Sonakshi just stood there quietly now. She closed her eyes. Rohit put an arm over her shoulder and hugged her to him. She looked up at him, her eyes troubled.
He didn't like her so upset. She had already been so stressed, and now to find out that his sister was involved..

'Aap log jo sazaa denge mujhe manzoor hai..'

'Sazaa? Hum kya sazaa denge? Jis ko milni thi usse milgayi na..zindagi or mout ke beech ki sazaa..'
Sonakshi said quietly.

'Please..'

'Hai ek sazaa..' Rohit spoke.

Pooja and Sonakshi both looked at him.

'Tum police ke paas jao or confess kar do..'

'WHAT?!?'
Both Sonakshi and Pooja spoke together.

'Yes! Jao or confess karo..apni ghalti maano!'

'Rohit! Yeh kya bol..'

'Yes, Sona! Guilty feel kar rahi hain na madam..woh bhi accident karne ke teen din baad! Wow, like just wow! Meri behen, ek criminal..'

Pooja clutched his arm, but he jerked it off.

'Own up to your mistake, or stop this drama of feeling guilty now.'

Pooja looked dejected. Her head lowered and she played with her hands, twisting them. Her brother was not on her side. She finally looked up.

'I'll do it! Mein jaungi..I'll go and confess.'
