Ep 9 : Peace Treaty

"Listen man, i just wanna talk to you
maybe become friends
but i have never had that opportunity
to talk to you see
if i could promise peace
between us
maybe we could farm"

📌 Nagar Nigam, Delhi

"Noone lives here"the man shouted as he stared at the pieces of card Naaz handed him.

The house was big as those movies,Lucky and Naaz sneakily used to watch when Reshma was out on her parlour trips.

"Please-"Lucky started as Naaz shushed him.

If anything she have learnt in the brothel was men were bad news and the stake smell of alcohol coming off the man,just made it worse.

And they walked away.

They knew,they couldn't go to the police and can't trust anyone and now that woman,their last hope was also gone.

And the rain started pouring.

Naaz looked at her skirt,the blood hasn't stopped yet.

She wasn't sure for how long she can keep walking,she looked up to find Lucky staring at her and she gave him her best smile,they broke free, finally but for how long until they get caught again.

"Stop"someone screamed, three of them were ready to run away but the voice ,it wasn't like any they have heard before.

"Stop"the same man that turned them down was running towards them, in the rain.

There were the pieces of that card in his hands as he stopped in front of them.

"Get inside, it's raining"he said awkwardly running towards the big house they just came from as the three followed him.

They didn't trust him but it's not like they had any other choice.

Lucky stared at the huge picture of the woman who handed him the card years ago,with a promise to help him as he stood up from his chair pointing at the portrait.

"She,she said she will help us"

The man just nodded looking up at the picture and then at him.

"What's happening to you?"Nadia screamed looking at the blood drenched skirt of Naaz who can barely keep her eyes open.

The man lunged towards her as she fell off the chair unconscious and he catched her,staring at her feet and then at Lucky,who mirrored his own emotions,concerned,clueless and horrified.

......

"Who is she?"the doctor asked again.He have hid Lucky and Nadia inside before calling the doctor,it was past midnight and changing the girl's blood stained clothes was the best idea, honestly he had no clue who were these kids,where they came from,what they want?

But at the end of the day,they were still three kids horrified and his alcohol dipped and broken mind needed some way to process it.

He clutched the two pieces of paper in his hands as if draining strength from it.

"My...my daughter"the man stammered.What else was he supposed to say, that three children came knocking on his door in the middle of the night?
