Tu Zakhm Hai (On Paused)

Chapter - 08

Viraj's POV

      I was talking to Jaggi on the phone. He told me that now this news is being broadcast on every news channel. I feel happy to hear this.

   I heard someone shouting and then I looked to my right and saw the guards running behind someone and the person they are running behind is a girl. And that girl is running towards me. Looking at her face I came to know that that girl was none other than Kavya.

   She comes running towards me and stands in front of me and then I disconnect my phone and raise my hand in the air and make a sign which the guards stop at their place and left.

      Her eyes filled with tears. I opened my lips to speak but before I could say anything, she hugged me and started sobbing. I am standing straight, one of my hands was tugged in my pocket and the other was on her shoulder.

My mind keeps running on some thoughts. “So finally the prey got trapped in the hunter's net and came to the hunter himself."
"I hate you but I still let you come close to me. Welcome to the Golden Cage, Kavya Grewal."

Then she break the hug and again stand in front of me. She wiped her tears and parted her lips to speak.

"PG is in danger!
I know it's odd.. We've met just once. But I didn't know where else to go. I thought I would go to the police. But how?? They're already looking for my PG!! I can't go to them either...
But it's Delhi right???
And only one thing works here. And that's influence and power. So, I thought of you. Because you can do anything!
Please! Please help my PG!!"
She said all while I'm listening to her silently.

"Listen.. don't worry. You've come to the right place. Relax. Okay?" I replied.

She nodded towards me. "This murder...
That's impossible!! PG would never do such a thing!"

"I completely agree. He wouldn't let anyone else do it either! If he found out, he would go straight to the police. He's a responsible citizen."

She looked at me confusingly. "My uncle told me about all this. That Vinod ji is a nice person." I say.

She give me a nod. "You have to help him. Please. I know he was loyal to you. He has work with you. Please help him." She said.

"Kavya, if the there's anything in the world that I value the most, it is loyalty. And the thing I hate the most is disloyalty. Trust me."

"I remembered one thing. How you said that he's your family." She said.

"And Viraj Trehan would go to great lengths to protect his family." I said. And she nodded towards me.

"I wonder where PG must be.! This murder charges-"

I cutts her off- "Kavya, Don't panic. I, too, am trying my best to find him. This will help me find out who the enemies of Trehans are."

"Huhh?"

"I guess one of them must be framed Vinod ji for the murder. But what are you doing now?"

"I don't know." She said and start sobbing.

"Till we don't hear any news, why don't you stay with us? It's not safe outside. Yes?"

"But..how can I...?"

"Don't just think about this..Come with me."

I started walking, she follows me. I opened the door for her, she came inside the house and I closed the door. "Now you are caged in this cage, Kavya"- I thought.
