Unknown Enemy

PART - 38

Sara was walking through the lonely grounds with the dead Ragini in her hand. Sara was very tired of lifting her. She thought of resting somewhere. Suddenly he heard someone calling her. She looked around everywhere.

In a farther distance, Nikhil was running towards her along with few police constables. She was now very relieved. He came near her.

‘Sara, are you alright? Oh my. Is this Ragini?’

‘Yes. She is dead. She is also a thief.’

‘What?’

‘Yes. But without her knowledge. The gang had made her forgot her past and made her a criminal.’

‘If Arjun knows about this, I don’t know whether happy or sad?’

‘But Arjun, he is…’

‘… not dead. He is the one who planned all the things.’

‘Really.’

‘Do you remember the day our house got blasted? Arjun ran after a guy.’

‘But he escaped.’

‘No. Arjun captured him. He did the same things as the gang done to Ragini. He was then acting as his puppet. Doing whatever he says.’

‘But the gang. What if they followed us?’

‘Not a chance. They must be dead by now.’

‘Thank god. How did you find us?’

‘Simple. Through this.’ He showed her a bug camera.

‘Here, Take her. Let’s bury her in a peaceful place. Before Arjun must see her. He should know about this.’

‘Come let’s go.’

They got up on the Police jeep and went away.

Raghavendra Street

Chitpur

Suraj’s Residence

      Suraj’s house was very simple. It has very less number of rooms. Suraj was in the kitchen, preparing tea.

‘Arjun, did the work completed?’

‘Yes.’

A voice came from a room on the left side. Suraj entered the room. In the room, Arjun was sitting in a chair in front of a computer.

‘Has Nikhil called yet?’

‘No. I’m also waiting for his call. I want to know about Sara.

‘Arjun. Don’t be afraid. Relax.’

‘Yeah. I’m ok. Is it necessary to inform it to the headquarters?’

‘I don’t think so. Let it be.’

The calling bell rang. Suraj went to open the door.

‘Arjun, it is Nikhil and Sara.’

Arjun quickly ran to the door.

‘Thank god, you are back.’

Suddenly he turned his head towards the jeep. A girl was lying in the jeep. He get shocked once he looked at the girl. He slightly trembled on his feet.

‘Is it…?’

‘Yes. Ragini. But she’s dead.’

How?’

Sara narrated the whole story. Once he heard, he started to cry like a child. All of them patted him.

‘Arjun. Let it go. There is no use of crying.’

‘Yes. You’re correct. I’m sorry. Can we do the necessary things for her funeral?’

‘Yes.’

5:45 pm

Chitpur Graveyard

Since it was quickly done, there were no many people. Only a few including Arjun, Sara, Nikhil and Suraj. They all came out. Suraj left the place.

The three get on the jeep. Nikhil said to both of them.

‘I have packed some dresses for you both. I have booked a ticket for you to Mumbai. I have informed a friend there. He will help you there. You two start a new life there. Just leave this city for the sake of me.’

They both nodded.

Nikhil dropped them off at the airport. They both went inside for a better future.

Jawaharlal Nehru Street

Bandra, Mumbai

      Sara was standing in a garden of a house. She was playing with a child. A woman in the next house called her.

‘Sara, I have done this sweet. I would like you to have it.’

‘Oh! Thank you Anisha.’

A few moments later, a bike arrived in front of her house. Arjun and a man was there.

‘Hai Sara dear. How is my Ragini doing? Hey little girl, come here.’

Arjun lifted the girl and turned towards the man.

‘Thank you Rizhwan for the ride.’

‘It’s my pleasure.’

The two families entered their respective houses.
