A Murderer and The Nurse (Slow Updates)

59

KARAN POV
After leaving that painting room my guard dragged me to Aada's office. It was my therapy session today. I was eager to meet her because I wanted to ask her about our plan. Paras shut the door and left me for therapy session.

"Do you have the map?" I asked as I made my way over to the chair.

"Yeah I have it" she said and placed a large piece of paper on the table. I tried to read it while scanning the map and saw lots of hospital rooms and pipe lines.

"Thank you" I said taking the map.

"I had to dig through lots of papers to find it and I almost got cau-''

"I said thank you. Didn't I" I said absent-mindedly.

She didn't speak for a moment but only for a moment. "Well if you are going to be like this. I guess I shouldn't tell you" she said glaring me.

"Tell me what?" I looked up from the map.

She probably sighed at my attitude but told me anyway. "Hundreds of years ago there was an army training center and this hospital is built on army ground so there are so many underground tunnels but the exact location is not known and it cannot even be seen on the map" She said and I nodded at the information.

"I know where it is" I said and her eyes widened in surprise.

"sister Geeta told me it is in one of the bathrooms of WARD-D" I told her.

"Ohh that's good but WARD-D?" She asked in a worried tone.

I signed, rubbing my head. "Well, I guess we'll just have to deal with it. I'd rather take the risk than rot in my room" I said.

"That's what I feared. Well this is WARD-D behind the storage room" she said while marking particular spot with the marker. "And here is the bathroom and then you should just follow the tunnel and it will take you to the outside building'' She said still looking at map. I nodded revealed as I felt like we almost got escaped. But we still need to plan more things.

"Now Tejasswi and I just need a way to get out of our rooms. Find each other. Get pass through hallways and corridors near to the WARD-D without getting caught by employees and guards and after getting into WARD-D we have to be careful about that ghost girl who has flipped legs. Then we have to find tunnel and run away" I said mostly to myself.

"Yeah" Aada agreed but her voice broke a little that made me ask her further question.

"Is something wrong?" I pointed out.

"What?" She asked.

"Sometimes is wrong and you are not telling me" I asked worriedly.

"No there isn't" she denied weakly.

"Yes there is" I urged.

"No I-"

"Goddammit just say it. If it had anything to do with me or Teju. I needed to be aware of it"

"Okay but before I tell you just remember there is plenty of time to get out of here before it happens. I will make sure you guys escape first so don't worry about it " she said.

Her tone was slightly frantic as if she knows it will make me explode and that was starting to worry me.

"What is it?"

"It won't happen in a months. You guys are long gone by then" she said.

"Tell me" I demanded harshly.

"When I was looking for a map. I found a file. A file of all the patients who are going to surgery. They get tasted for God knows what. And Mrs. D'Souza has it all planned" she said and I nodded urging her to continued. "And Teja- Teja is next on the list" she said.

My heart stopped right there. Everything inside me stopped. My lungs didn't expand the way they should. I didn't even take a breath. The only thing that was working was my mind and it was massively filled with fear, doubt and dread. If we don't escape as sson as possible, my Laddoo will face what Nikita and Riya had. And with that feeling I felt as if the whole world had crumbled beneath my feet. My body started sweating. I couldn't talk. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. And I knew the feeling, it was familiar. It was same feeling I had when I heard the news about Dhara's death.

I was not a man of kindness and I had done the things I'm not proud of but if there was one good thing I did in this whole world, it was loving Tejasswi with everything I had. She was all that I had. No family. No possessions. No money. Just her. Now D'Souza was taking away my everything from me. Suddenly I realized I was shaking. All papers and books, pens shattered all over the room. I remember screaming and shouting. I remember I did that in anger. I had lost it completely. The door was suddenly swung open and Paras entered in.

"Are you ok?" He asked and reached my arm to pull me out from room.

"No" Aada said before we got far. "It's okay. It was my fault. He is fine. I am fine. I will bring him out after we finish"

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah" she said forcing a smile. He didn't look convince but left the room anyway. I looked down at Aada she was collecting her things and I felt a pang of guilt. It wasn't her fault at least she was helping me.

"I- I am sorry. I was- I was just angry"

"It's okay" she said in a quiet sympathetic voice.

"No it's not's" I said and bent down to collect things.

"Karan your hands are shaking" Aada pointed out.

I was shaking and holding back tears and trying not to throw up and I was scared. I didn't want to give her answer and I didn't have one.

"Karan" Aada repeated when I didn't say anything. "It's okay" she made me sit back on the chair. "sister Geeta and I are going to get you out. You and Teja both'' she assured me.

"Is it possible?" I asked because everything seemed impossible at that moment.

"Yes. Tejasswi is my best friend and I love her. I will do anything to get her out before any of that happens" she said.

I took a deep breath hearing her. The room was quite. I wanted to tell Aada that may be I was overreacting because I can't stand a thought of living without Teju. But all I said was- "She is all I have"

Aada heard me but didn't answer instead she said. "Well you have the map. Sister Geeta will give you all the supplies. There is a tunnel in WARD-D. All we need is just to reach the tunnel without getting caught".

I nodded believing that it is easy but hell it is the difficult thing ever.

"Thanks" I ran my hand through my hair. "please don't tell Laddoo. I don't want her worried about it when she doesn't need to be"

"Okay" she forced a smile.

I took the map and got up. Beginning to walk towards the door.

"Karan" She said and I turned around.

"Make sure you kept that hidden" she said pointing to the map.
