Chapter 16:
It must have been long time since the encounter with Anton, because I could feel the walls cooling down. I didn't know what to do; I had no idea this might even had happen to me. I thought and thought until a plan kicked in- I was my own super hero. I couldn't just sit there; I had to do something, anything. I stood up and walked to the door. I clicked it open and to my surprise it was loosely bolted. I took the help of the knife I had and tried unbolting the door. The old bolts that came were more-a-like a string of iron, wrung into each other that should be attached to a loop in order to lock the door. To my luck, the bolt fell from the loop. I came back in and picked up Joy in my arms. My two year old was asleep as he should be. So I did the next best thing I could and I tied him up in a bundle of blanket I was given earlier. I tied him into it and tied him back to my chest like a baby bag.
I then picked a knife that was with the tray and cautiously peeked outside. Once my head was out, I saw the guards were speaking among themselves so I slipped from in between the door and outside the main room. Cool night air hit me as I took in the surroundings; it was night, it must have been raining and it made my escape easier.
I swiftly ran out the main door and then into the porch. I went straight to the main gate not once looking back and to my surprise no one noticed till I reached outside. Once I was out, I left a sigh of relief. Was it that easy? Or was it Anton who made it easy? Had he helped me? Anyway the point was I had escaped. When I came into the street route I saw the name of the street. I didn't even have a single penny with me, not even to make a call.
With tired eyes and body, I kept walking and walking until I came across a resto. It was a mini breakfast service where I would beg the owner to make a call. I tried my level best to show I wasn't hurt. There could be men in there with heavier hunger for the same and I didn't want anything more to happen to me or my baby. I took a deep breath and walked towards the resto with the knife clutched in my right hand yet hidden.
I opened the door and walked right in just to find the whole place filled with Military men? Seriously? this was like a wake up call to my tears. With wide teary eyed, I made my way towards them. They were staring back at me with suspicion but the next step I took, made it clear I was in trouble. I fell to the ground while cradling Joy in one hand while trying to maintain myself. I was safe now and he wouldn't come here.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" one of them asked, he came by my side to help me up. I nodded my head. Words wouldn't come out of my mouth.
"W-Water"
"Get her some water. Now!" The soldier demanded. I was immediately given a glass of water and was helped to sit down.
"Can you tell us what happened? May be we can help. We're from the military" No shit, Sherlock- I thought. I was jumping with Joy mentally.
"I-I was taken" I started "They took me and he... he raped me. He touched me in places..." I broke down.
"Is that your son?" I nodded sniffling while un-wrapping Joy from the blanket.
"My husband was a Lieutenant; he was killed in action last year" I swallowed "He protected the camp from a certain explosion"
"You are Mrs. Rajput, if I am not wrong" A lady like voice startled me. I looked up to find a woman in her early twenties maybe.
"Nice to meet you Richa, for the first time, I am Dr. Ashley Mars. I am sent as a special force your husband was a part of" my eyes were wide and shock was written across my face, clearly I didn't expect to see the woman who took care of my husband in his camp- who I was jealous of- here in the bunch of soldiers. Gosh what was I thinking?
"Dr. Richa Rajput" I shook her hand "Thank you for taking care of Rohan when on need" I looked down at the last part.
"Ah it was my pleasure and my job" she winked "But I am sorry for the loss. He was an amazing guy" she smiled a sad smile "And he was loyal to you, trust me. All he spoke about to me in the hospital was about you; how you would scold him, how you would take care of his wounds, how you would kiss it better and blah blah" I chuckled, sounds like my husband to me.
"Anyway, let me look at your wounds" she stepped forward and gasped "Is that... Is that his?" she asked and I nodded "He looks so much like his father"
"His eyes give it away" she smiled picking him up and kissing his head, a lot of people seemed to do that lately "Did he know?" she asked to which I shook my head "It was a surprise then" I nodded, sighing. Joy was chirping and giggling with the others while Ashley was treating my wounds.
"Is there a phone I could use here?" the resto owner came out with his phone.
"Here you go Ma'am" I snatched it and immediately called Rahul.
"Hello"
"Rahul"
"Richa baby where are you? Anton is going crazy with you slipped out. We are trying to arrest Nico, the terrorist who... we were trying really hard sweetheart" he said.
"Rahul I am safe, I am in a group of soldiers. The doctor that treated Rohan and others at the camp is here too" I sniffled "Please hurry up Rahul, take me home"
"I am here sweetheart, I am here" with that he hung the call. I sighed and put the phone aside. Within minutes the door burst open and in walked Rahul; his posture was stiff and dangerous expression on his face. He ran to me and hugged me to his chest and then I let the tears fall free
