IN THE NAME OF LOVE (completed) ✅

Chapter 27

AAHANA'S POV

I sat outside listening to them. I was not confused. It's clear that someone has been threatening aunt too. But why? Is chitra also in danger along with me? When Soham came out and talked with me I knew he's pressurized. He wanted to tell me everything but scared as I might get worried again .

" Shall I drop you home? " he offered while I sat opposite chitra who's scared as hell after looking at those horrible people .

" Can I stay with her for this night? " I asked him pointing my finger at her.

" Why... Yeah ok. " he said walking out of the room calmly. I knew something more has happened. She's not going to open her mouth now.

" You shouldn't stay here Mam. It's dangerous for you" she said lying down on her bed.

" What did you see and listen? If you don't tell me I am going to send you back to your home " I warned sitting beside her.

She didn't talk.

She had expressionless face.

"Chitra? " I called out.

" Why were you present there? " I questioned making her look at me.

" I wanted to complain that I have seen some unknown guys talking with children outside. I didn't find them pleasant. But what I heard surprised me Mam. " she spoke.

" Small girl was murdered by one of them before. They said, they will kill someone else too if Mam doesn't help them " she said with trembling voice.

" Did they see you?? " I questioned her.

" One of them pointed out to someone that I am hearing to their conversation. I walked away from there immediately. Mam am I in trouble now? " she asked me wiping her tears.

I sighed. How can I answer her when I have no idea what's happening here. Now I regret bringing her here from her home. It would have been better staying at her place . I can even ask Soham now, he seems pretty tensed up about this.

" Chitra, did you study for your exam?" I asked her.

" Yes I did. I was just taking walk when I saw them " she pointed out.

" Did you eat? " I asked her.

" Yes mam. " she replied.

" Now I am here, Soham is here. You please take rest " I said lying down beside her. We both looked at fan and did not talk about anything . I know she is under pressure, we have no idea if they will come back to get her or torture her. But real question is about whom they are talking?

" Good night mam" chitra said holding my hand.

When I woke up I saw chitra dressing up for college. She looks calm and composed. I laid my head back and closed my eyes.

Suddenly why everything is going on like this?

Why is Soham's life such a mystery! ?

Who are they? Why don't Soham complain about them to police?

" Mam! " chitra touched my shoulder and I sat up with a jerk.

" Sorry to disturb you, your phone is ringing and it's Soham bhai" she said.

" Hello? " I answered.

" If you are going with chitra to college I will drop you both " he said waiting for my reply .

" Soham, I got up just now. You can drop her " I said disconnecting our call. I am so sleepy, chitra smiled at me and collected her books.

" All the best dear. I will lock your room and leave keys with aunt OK? Don't think much. Just give your best and Dont talk about this with anyone. You are perfectly safe here. Got it? " I asked her.
