The Stalker

54#

"Very simple, We are going to move a bulk consignment of drugs into Chennai and the surrounding districts. I want you guys to deliver it with full protection. If you are ready to do that, you guys will be spared and I will not disturb you guys later ever. But if you are going to say No, then you are only having few hours to live. " 

We four remained silent saying our Big No. He laughed and left us. We had nothing to loose, Two of their men came and started to beat us. We know that they are venting out their anger over our department on us. I was praying to God to take care of my family and Yazhini. Our skins were nearly peeled off. The pain was bearable but the fact that we lost this mission was unbearable. I felt Sundeep's eyes on me, I turned to see him. He gave a strong look. It clearly stated that he is upto something. 

Within few minutes, Sundeep suddenly started to vomit. His men felt irritated and left out unable to stand the smell. making sure they went out, Sundeep spoke. "Ram, Aadvik and Jaya both became very weak, only you are the only hope here. They will clean this place now, they will untie us and change our place. Just find a moment and fight them. Dont think about us, flee from here. Move towards the north side of the forest, You remember the tea shop near the forest right, he is our men actually. Just get his help and leave from here." He spoke with a weak voice. I just nodded my head saving my energy.

As he said, 3 men came to clean. they untied us to change the place, I took that opportunity and fighted them and ran out. When I came out, One goon saw me and tried to call others. I advanced and twisted his neck and broke it.  Crossing their borders and I entered the forest. It was dark. may be around 9 or 10 PM. I moved in a north direction, all thanks to the star. With all those scars getting exposed to the insects of the forest, pain became unending process. I somehow managed to reach the tea shop. He himself helped me to get a lorry which was moving towards karaikudi. I thanked him and after whole 8 hours I came here.

As Ram was saying all this, Yazhini was cocooned herself near him. Ram was stroking her hair softly. 

"Are you afraid ammu?" 

"Yes Athaan, you are my life line. Without you I couldn't imagine a life."

"See, I am here now" Ram took her in his amrs.

"Now tell me Yazhini, will you help me on this?"

"Yes Athaan, I will help"

"First I need to submit the proof digitally to my department and physically to the court. You have to maintain my absence just like you are doing now. Whoever asks just tell them you yourself don't know" Yazhini nodded her head. Ram gave a kiss on her forehead. She tightly closed her eyes feeling his kiss against her skin after a long time.

Minutes to hours, they stayed the same. Yazhini remembered his health and woke up. Ram too got up from his place. Yazhini served him food, Ram ate. After that he sent the digital copy to the department. Yazhini gave him painkillers and went to sleep. Within few minutes he too slept.  

Yazhini haven's said anything about the death of his collogues to Ram. She knows he is already under of guilt. Now this may add more tension to him. Yazhini woke up in middle of night hearing small noises from the hall. When she came out to check, there was no-one. She again entered the bedroom still not feeling good about the noises she heard from hall few minutes before, she switched on the light in bedroom and saw the hall. 

There was a big strong figure standing in hall, taking her breath away. Now that person also knows Yazhini saw him. Yazhini tried to close the bedroom door but that figure advanced quickly and pushed the door open making Yazhini fall on the floor. He kicked Yazhini in her stomach. Yazhini was unable to shout, she held her stomach tight. She remembered herslef. "She is not weak." She raised her leg kicking that man on his left leg making him fall on the floor, Yazhini used this and took an wooden stool near her and broke that on his face. In these thuds Ram woke up against the tablets he had.

He gave a kick to that dark figure. it fell unconscious. Ram tied him to the chair and waited for him to wake up. Yazhini was terrified. Her temperature shot up. Ram kept a cold water soaked cloth on her head helping her to reduce the shooted up temperature. Ram checked whether the evidence he sent was checked by anyone. He felt a relief when he saw it came under the tag, checked and approved for the case. Ram waited for that man to awake. 

in few hours near to the early morning he woke up. 

"Tell me what happened after I escaped from there?" Ram asked.

"When You escaped you did a big mistake, and only because of you all your dear three collegues where brutally murdered by Big Fish himself. We never saw him that anger. Where ever you go, He will hunt you down" he said with a loads of Ego in his voice.

Hearing that other three were no more, made him feel bad, he even thought, its all because of him. He punched the man on his face. "What mistake did I do, We four wanted to put an end to the Drug hub your Big Fish was running. What he was doing is the wrong, I flee from there to finish the mission we started." He spoke in anger. 

"You killed his only brother while coming out. He is very dearer to Big Fish, he was studying in abroad, he just visited his brother just that night. But you killed him by breaking his neck. You will pay for that" He shouted back. Now Ram thought about that person whom he broke the neck while running out. It was not planned, He thought to himself.
