IPKKND FF FELONIOUS

Part 7(B)

By the time she understood the ways of society she had NK beside her, the love she craved for all those years from a parent was channelized to NK, the feeling of loneliness came back when he was taken away but she managed it keeping in view his bright future, in line came Arnav, making her see a different world apart from her home and shop. Their relationship started because of her worries towards her friend's safety but they have come a long way, in such a manner that she couldn't remember any other name than his when she is either happy or sad. Hence she kept trying the only person's phone to take help now in this crucial moment.

After speaking to Arnav, she sat jotting down in sequence the incidents which took place in their life, when the phone started to ring and it was a call from NK. He sounded weak and scared, was crying asking her to come and take him away, at first she thought he was missing her and hence this kind of request to get away from there and calmly asked him to pass the phone to the warden over there to ask for if she can come and meet him, but he straight away refused her telling about this phone call to anyone else as people here would beat him black and blue for trying to contact anyone without their consent. 

He further explained that at this moment he was standing under a shower in the bathroom and speaking to her by stealing away the warden's mobile. A few more worried questions from her and she understood everything was surely not what it seemed to be, everyone else framed it as her false worries but her worries turn out to be true. Something wrong surely was happening and NK was not able to tell much as he was continuously crying, begging her to come and take him away. 

She tried calming him down and saying that he would miss the school and his friends to which he answered that even his friends didn't like being here and wanted to escape from there in any way possible. She tried to tell him that it is not possible to walk into that place and take him away simply as she isn't even aware of his location but he wouldn't hear the end of it saying her about the location he wanted to say further but hearing a noise from outside he suddenly cut the call saying that he would be waiting.

She was not able to decide how to proceed, whom should she turn for help? Arnav's phone is not reachable, even if it gets connected what can he do when he is far away? Should she approach Police? But it may put NK's life in risk if the people over there came to know about it and there is no one till now who said ill about Shakshy, there is no way they would come running to help her without solid proofs that something is wrong over there, which she doesn't have right now but her intuition says that something is wrong and her friend is in deep trouble. She looked towards the clock it is close to 11 pm, there is very little time left, the place he mentioned was far off to the other side of the city if she didn't rush now there is no way she can reach him before the dawn of next day. 

She didn't pay attention to the time while writing down and in a way, it did well because she was able to speak to NK, but why did NK call at this hour on the shop number? He knows no one would be there to attend it, maybe this is the only number he has through which he can reach her. She hurried up as there is no way anyone can come to her help while closing the shutter she remembered Lavanya and rushed inside again to call her. Her phone was busy, with a frustrated sigh Khushi noted down Lavanya's number on her palm and rushed out to find a cab to reach the place.

 One moment he was beside her, nuzzling her neck and next with a phone call he rushed out banging the door shut with very little effort and she took it as her only source to escape and held the door from completely getting closed, once his footsteps where out of hearing, rushing into the room again she started searching for her mobile but her attempt turned to be futile, giving up searching in her room she ran to the other room where Shyam stays and tried looking for in draws besides the bed and luckily she found it after a few more minutes of search.
