Swaraaj : The Devil

CHAPTER ELEVEN

The entourage moved back towards Karan's friend's house which was right behind them, Karan got Nitu out of the car, she hasn't said a single word since she sat in the car and not a word when she came out, all of this was becoming nightmare for her.... Karan held Nitu's hand and walked her over to the house while SK had wrapped one of her hand around her shoulder when she walked, Radha and Keshav followed them while Samu and Kairav walked ahead.... They reached to the place and Karan opened the gate directly.... While others were looking at the name board which was fixed on the wall, the name read, 'Nitya's...' which was carved into the black marble with silver paints.... Karan took his sister's hand and led her inside, they went through a big garden and then a pool on the right of the house.... A servant was cleaning the pool... when they approached the main door they were met by two armed men dressed in black and white Kurta and vest respectively.... SK noticed and recognized the dress code.... A single thought stirred in her mind, but she thought it against it.... How could it be? He said something about safe house... this doesn't look like a safe house... she kept telling this to herself.... Karan approached one of the man and the man bowed to him recognizing who he was.... They shared one look and the guard spoke, "Har Har Mahadev".... 

"Mahadev har!" KAran replied, "Where is she?" he asked immediately, 

"In the house!" the guy replied obediently, "One of you stay here, and one come with me, open the door and let them in...." Karan ordered them.... The guard opened the door and gave them a way to go inside, 

Samu and Kairav whispered between them, "Who do you think lives here?" Samu asked her voice was slow but audible enough for Kairav, he looked at her in disbelief after hearing this... 

"You live right across the street...." Kairav accused her.... Samu just stared at him.... They followed Karan and Nitu and went in the living room.... Karan sat Nitu on one of the sofa, and sat on his knees in front of her.... 

"Ok Kiddo, are you alright?" Karan asked her finally.... 

"I wanted to go home, Dada... our home...." Nitu said uninterestingly.... 

"This is our home too, didn't you read the board outside...." Karan tried to convince her.... 

"No Dada, our home is our home... not this place.... I want to go home and sleep.... I don't want to stay here...." Nitu complained and for second Karan took relief that she has actually started to argue, because Karan wanted her to get everything out from her system.... 

"Ok... Ok... you want to go home, we'll go home... but can you give me just few hours till I have this discussion with them.... Till that, you can sleep here if you want...." Karan pampered her.... Nitu nodded hesitantly... Karan knew her mind but he was also worried about matter at hand... Karan stood up from his place and looked at SK, SK was waiting eagerly for Karan's next command.... "SK, take her to any room and put her to the bed.... You can rest there too for a while...." Karan ordered.... 

"I don't need rest Karan, I want some answers.... Which you don't seem to give me now a days..." SK taunted her.... 

"I told you, we'll talk about this, but not NOW... Please just do what I'm asking you...." Karan said aggressively, his fist was clenched with anger, Situation was already heated and SK didn't seem to cool it down a bit... SK glared at him with same rage, she was upset too with him, Karan glared at her back.... 

"Karan..." Karan was distracted when a lady's voice was surrounded in the vast sitting area.... SK's eyes also turned back to see who was calling him because in her mind she recognized the voice and her assumptions which she had at the time of entering the house were about to come true... Karan closed his eyes and calmed himself, he looked at his side and saw the lady climbing down the stairs... "Panchhi Di....." Nitu jumped from the sofa and ran to her.... SK was surprised to see this reaction from Nitu, because for last half an hour she was quiet as hell and now she jumped and hugged Panchhi.... Panchhi was surprised too when she hugged her tight.... Nitu wrapped her arms around Panchhi's back and was sobbing hard.... Karan liked seeing them together....
