Chapter 48 - "Shining armour..."

"Nandini..Intenta ir a un lugar más Seguro. Déjame aquí. No puedo caminar rapido." (Nandini...try to go to some safer place. Leave me here. I can't walk quickly.)

Carlos grimaces while mouths those words with difficulty. Right now, I have kept him behind a deserted and demolished ice-cream bar. One of Carlos's legs has probably been broken by a brick hurled by a fanatic mobster. I couldn't leave him like this. My phone got switched off. Thankfully, I called Arya before that and told him about our location. I hope he can manage to come and save us from this and I also hope Manik doesn't take any irresponsible step again. I didn't want to tell him about the situation but I had to.

"¿Carlos...por qué dices esto una y otra vez? (Carlos...why are you saying this again and again? No puedo dejarte asi. (I can't leave you like this) Todavía temenos que averiguar Calida y no puedo hacerlo solo en esta condición." (We still have to find out Calida and you can't do it alone in this condition.)

I reply in an annoyed voice. Right now, I am not in a situation to follow the curtesy. Carlos keeps on staring at me for a while and murmurs,

"Dios te bendiga." (God bless you)

I honour him with a pale smile. Suddenly an outcry again breaks the temporary silence of the surrounding.

"Ir...ir atrás...debe haber alguien." (Go...go behind...there must be someone)

My all nerves become frazzled for a moment.

"It will be our end if they find us."

My mind daunts me immediately. Carlos also meets my anticipated eyes. I place my index finger on my lips and gesture to him to keep quiet. I roam my eyes all around and find some empty carton boxes kept inside the bar.

"We have to hide behind it."

My mind at once guides me. The place is about 10 to 15 meters away from us. I know it will be difficult for Carlos to arrive there but he has to. I near Carlos and state my plan. He agrees. I support him to stand. His face distorts with pain, still, he keeps mum. The kerfuffle is gradually nearing us making the noise clearer. We enter the razed place and reach the carton boxes. I make Carlos sit behind it. As I am about to occupy his next place my eyes fall on my empty hand. I have lost my mobile.

"Shit..."

A swear escapes my mouth. I turn at Carlos and whisper,

"Quédate aqué. No salgas a toda costa." (Stay here. Don't come out at any cost)

Before he can counter, I crawl out. It must be there where we were previously. When I was supporting Carlos to stand, I kept it on the floor. It has all my contact numbers and more of that, some of my important documents and images are there. I can't lose it. I was about to reach my mobile and bend to pick it up I hear some quick footsteps and in a fraction of a second, some maleficent people surround me. I stare up and meet their vicious eyes. There is only the hunger for destruction. One of the dissidents utters in his hoarse voice,

"Hey mujer! ¿No dijimos que se mantuviera alejado de esto? (Hey lady! Didn't we say to stay away from this?) O estás con este gobierno tirano? (Or you are with this tyrant government?)

Another hostile man doesn't care about any verbal action. He straight grabs my elbow and yanks me to rise. I flinch in pain and fear. Will they kill me or it will be worse than that? My heart hitches in fright. I only can utter a garble No. The person who was holding me by my bicep now shoves me towards another person.

"Tomarla..."(Take her)

He sounds intimidating. I dash on him and he claws me with my shoulders. His hawk eyes pierce my timid orbs. With a filthy smile, he mouths,
