Memories :- pain & cure

28. Agree

Author's POV

She agreed to him, to be his bodyguard, she was the strongest and smartest assassin or bodyguard or a leader of bunch of men in the mafia world, even though not much have seen her but they have heard about her. That tempted him to have one of the best in the mafia world by his side.

They cleaned her wounds, bandaged up, gave her something to eat and some painkillers and left her to rest in a new room, sealed windows, no furnitures except a recliner chair and the bed and a coffee table. Not a tear left her eyes once, she was that strong or that weak or that cold hearted, she doesn't know.

After a day of rest, she was summoned to the office room of the house, yes it was big house, in which they were working. Men pacing around with weapons, some working on computers, some with weapons and some rooms.

She went into the office room, Arjun Mittal was sitting on his chair in front of the office desk. Yash was standing beside him and some buff man was there too, Charan, one of their name, she found out, when Arjun asked him to close the door behind her and kritika who brought her to him. She never spoke a word with her.

She eyes everyone, throwing sharp daggers at them with a wide and red eyes, not the same red she was seeing that day. She was seeing red that day, because blood was filled in her eyes from her forehead injury. "Take your seat." Arjun ordered now his bodyguard, J.

She did not sit though, but smirked. "I know you have need of me too, so let's just make a deal, yeah?"

He chuckled," so you'll trade with me now? Sure. You're the smartest, I know, what deal?"

"I'll be in the same position I was there, the leader. You can test my loyalty, I'll give you my loyalty, since you're my new boss, but you won't do anything to any of them and will tell me who the killers were, and send someone to gather some information from my assistant about my work. I still have a company to manage." She said confidently, dominating.

"You sure are a fierce cat. Sure, I agree."

She eyes him suspiciously," so easily?"

"Since you know, that I have the need of you too. So I'll agree to that. But you have to show me your loyalty as you said. That'll be tested many times as long as I trust you."

"Sure." As soon as they agreed on it, the buff man, Charan, sneered at her.

"How can you let a weak woman like her to lead us."

"May be you fool don't know about her."

"I know that very well, she just know how to torture some bound-to-chair men and kill them eventually. Have you ever fight a real free man?"

Arjun scoffed, he was too smart to be trusted, but he was damn sure about that woman. He admired her strength, confidence, capacity, skills and knowledge. "You'll fight with her ?" He provoke his man, he did not like too proud men like him, he was a proud man himself, but not a discriminator of men and women, he respect women, he didn't injured Jagruti, all the injury was from the fight, he just locked her up without any treatment to make her agree to his offer.

"Why not? But what if she dies?"

Arjun, Yash couldn't control their laugh and Jagruti just snickered at him.

"You should look out for yourself first. But I'm injured now, go easy on me." She said while smirking and Charan scoffed at her.

"Will see that."

They went to the gym room. It was huge, gym equipments scattered here and there.

She has wore the usual uniform there, white dress shirt and black suit pants. She took off her coat and stood there calmly. The buff man in front of her flexing his body in track tshirt and pants.
He lunged towards her, she stood there calmly. When he was about to punch her she bent down, stepping forward, she elbowed his back of the neck, she was tall enough.

He held his neck and tried to attack her again, she kicked his ribs. He groaned, tried kick her off, but she stepped back, this went on and on for some minutes, when she finally made a flip and kicked his chest, slapped him and was about punch his nose, when he clenched his eyes shut, but he didn't get the hit.

When opened his eyes slowly, she was wearing her jacket. As if his pride faltered he said," what, why didn't you hit me?"

"I'm not a prideful person like you to hit anyone. I was just proving my strength as you wanted and that's proven I guess."  Saying she left the gym room.

"She'll lead everyone of you from now on, you too, Yash. And whoever is against it can leave." Arjun announced and followed Jagruti.

She went to the terrace, standing in the highest platform, where the big water tank was. Arjun went and stood beside her. Her black, long and soft hair flowing with the air. Wincing time to time when the air hit on her cut on the face.

"What are you doing here, standing on the top? Committing suicide? You aren't that weak."

"Well, I'm not that weak, but I'm not interested in living in someone else's shelter too, I can die whenever I want."

"You were living in KK's shelter though."

"I was not. I just take him as a boss, since I do his tasks too, helping time to time, but I wasn't an official Bodyguard of his" she threw at him, venoms wrapped in her words.

"Okay, as you know me very well, I appreciate your skill, strength and all. So I'll do as you say, but you have to be beside me."

"Sure, then as you said, you'll do as I say, I won't follow your orders like a puppet and everyone will follow my lead."

"Don't you think that's too much, I make the call here."

"I can always jump from here you know, since I'm injured already, I guess I'll die easily." She said and acted like she'll jump from there but Arjun held her arm and pulled away from the edge.

"Okay, I'll do it. Just help me with other things and I won't even touch your boyfriend's family and friend and ofcourse I'll tell you who killed your parents, but a month later."

She sighed," whatever, if your information isn't true, then I'll kill I swear. I can do that easily and you know that the best." She jumped off from the edge towards the terrace and went downstairs.

'now I have to follow her orders in my own territory.' he thought and went downstairs too.

Back to present

She sighed and closed her eyes, relying on the back of the chair. "You should take some rest, J." Yash said.

She knew him very well too, 4 years ago, when KK and Arjun weren't in business together, they had a fight, in Arjun's office, which was in a 10 story building. Yash and Jagruti were fighting, she was about to push him out the glass wall, which was already broken to the ground, but she took him to the otherside pretending to fight and pushed him to the pool down, from the 5th floor. He was injured a bit ribs broken and all, but was alive and now well. From them on he also admired her, still does. Not in any wrong way, he is just a fan of her. In this world being a woman, leading some proud, no- egoistic and buff man isn't that easy, like just now they always challenge her, yet she surpassed them and proved herself again and again, time to time, she wasn't afraid of proving herself.

"Now I'll only rest when that bastard is in my hands." She said fisting her hand tightly, eyes bloodshot in rage. Yes, Arjun told her who killed her parents, he was acquaintances with him years ago, but as soon as he heard he killed an old couple, who were parents of two daughters, without any reason, okay the reason was simple, because he hated KK, and they were related to him, and that time they were going to be bonded in an official relationship with their children getting married.
