Night Has Gone (Hindi Story)

Part (20)

After the wedding and all the religious rituals..

Three of them were happily driving to way back home. Raghav was driving, in the passenger seat Ridhima and Namya in the backseat giggling happily, doing her childish talks.

When a big truck hit the car brutally. So badly, that their car was in air and with a huge crash the car hit the road again.

Six month Later...

Ridhima had passed away in the brutal car accident as the truck had hit directly by her side with Namya losing her hearing ability. And her step father, Raghav was thankfully fine though he had plaster for three  months. He recovered completely.

Their was slowly turning into normal one, atleast they thought it was like that. But no, it was clearly not.

Anirudh- Janta hu jalan me ubal rahe ho

Naveen- Tu kon ha? Yaha kaha se aya?

Anirudh- Me kon hu isse farak nahi padhta mere pas kya ha ye pucho... *Whispers something into Naveen's ear* apni ran ritiyo ka istemal Karo aur uss ghar se in dono ko bahar fek do... Jada ho toh jala do.

Naveen- Ye karke mujhe kya milega?

Anirudh- Ridhima ki Property tumhari... Aur 10 lakh alag se.

Naveen went away with his other followers.

Anirudh- Ridhima tumhari iss galati se tum aur tumhara Ghar pura tabha karunga me.

26th July 2000

Namya was walking through the corridors of the mansion when she saw many peoples walking towards their mansion with burning torches. At first she felt confused. But slowly she turned towards Raghav. Raghav was doing something in the basement. A place she was prohibited from coming. She never knew what they did there. Even Ridhima never let her go in there. She knocked on the door several times and finally Raghav opened the door, wearing a white coat with gloves and mask. He asked in sign language.

"Kya hua beta? Kuch chahiye"

Namya took a while to understand and nodded.

"Papa waha bahut sare log are ha.."

Raghav got confused and immediately walked out with her after taking off the coat, gloves and mask.

Naveen- Dekhlo aa gaye doctor sahib

There were many other villagers looking at him angrily.

"Itne gande Kam karte ho tum? Hamare pith piche!"

"Hamne toh tumhe devta manna aur tumne hame hee itna bada dhoka diya?"

Raghav- kis baare me baat karre hai aap?

Naveen- Lo ji ab bhole bhi bante ha *chuckles* Kyu Dr Raghav.. aap toh.. dusro ko bachate ha... Fir... Ghar ke niche lab kis liye ha?

Raghav felt surprised but didn't show it

Naveen- Jante ha ham. Aap dusro ke Shareer ke ang bade dam pe bechte ha... Kyu Dr Raghav?

Before he could say something Naveen's son came out from behind and nodding.

"Yaha dekho!!"

All the villagers ran in to see. Raghav's main concern wasn't the lab right now but Namya's safety so he picked her up in his arms and was about to run away when someone kicked him hard making him fall hard on the floor.

It was Anirudh.

Anirudh- Mujhe tujhse tab se nafrat ha jabse tune Ridhima se pyaar kiya..

Anirudh punched Raghav.

Raghav didn't want to fight in front of Namya who was already crying feeling scared of what was happening.

Anirudh was about to walk towards Namya with the knife when Raghav kicked him away from Namya.

Raghav- Tumhari aur meri ladai ha.. isme ek bacchi ko mat shamil Karo

Anirudh- Ye sab tumhe phele sochne chahiye tha.. in between you two's dirty things you dragged in an innocent soul

Anirudh and Raghav started fighting badly throwing fists at each other.
Everything went like a blur in front of Namya's eyes... Raghav Falling down and could no longer fight back.

Raghav- Namya!!! Bhag jao yaha se!!

Namya was already deaf so she looked at him confused and crying seeing him injured badly. She didn't even realise when the fire had covered up to causing her to scream in pain. But before closing her eyes for forever.. she  saw that dark figure...

Sharp burning eyes
