Always Be Mine

Part 27:

Randhir heard some feeble noise coming from somewhere very close to him. He tried concentrating hard. It was pitch dark and hence It made it even more difficult for him to look through. He slowly took out his camera, and placed it in one of the branches and turned on the night mode. Even if something ever is to happen to him, there ll be some proof captured in this camera, he thought. He couldn't even dare moving, coz pin drop silence prevailed everywhere. The noise was actually someone's voice, it kept coming closer. "Does ghosts normally talk? Will there be a normal conversation between them?" he wondered.

Randhir was looking all around the place, he could only hear the voices, but couldnt spot anyone. Suddenly, the tree shook itself wildly as if it was about to explode. It did send a chill feeling across his spine "What the hell is happening? Is it an earthquake?" he tried reasoning. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the bottom part of the tree opened up like a door. Two men came out of it, one was tall and lean, the other one was dark and stout. They resembled the bad guys in Bollywood movies. It took a while for Randhir to realize that it wasnt actually a tree, but a setup made for a hidden contact with some other place possibly.

Randhir was closely listening to their conversation. Lets address these Bad guys as BG1 and BG2.

BG1: Hmmm so finally, we are going to get rid of them..

BG2: Yes, What kind of a Dream Team they are. Since, Day 1 they are only dreaming in their respective tents. Initially I even feared they might crack this down. Thank God, such a dumbos they are.

BG1: Arey Thank God nahi, thank Ghossttt, the black guy laughed and

BG2: The way that guy. what was his name, ahh Randhir, ran from this place this morning made me burst with laughter, such a coward he is, same way his useless dream team will run soon. Do you still wanna go by the plan?

BG1: I dont wanna take any risk anymore. I want them all dead by tonight

BG2: Where the hell is she? How long should we wait here? Ek kaam diya tha woh b thik se nahi kar sakti.. Pata nahi kahan reh gayi.

Randhir clenched his fist in anger, how dare they? how dare they will want to kill my Dream Team.

Just when they were conversing about that mysterious "she", they noticed a sudden movement in the forest. Someone was slowly moving towards them. Randhir was keen to know the woman who was assigned to kill his Dream Team. She came out and hugged the black guy, "Sorry I am late" she said.

Randhir's eyes popped out when he actually realized who the mysterious woman was. She was none other than "SUJI", sweet and simple girl, he met the other day, whom he saw hanging from the tree right in front of his eyes that very morning. Randhir could hardly believe his eyes, Am I dreaming? Is she a ghost? I saw her dead but how come she is alive?

Thousands of questions popped up in his head. While he was still wondering, the woman said "Dont worry everything is under control at our place. Let me now go and finish the task thats pending for a long time. Dream Team, your game is over"

Randhir couldnt think of anything else, he couldnt let his team be in danger, especially Sanyukta. Neither did he worry about his life nor did he about the task, all he wanted at that moment was his teams safety and his love's. Before the woman could turn, he jumped down from the tree and stood in front of her.

Suji and the other two, stood there in shock. Randhir gazed them with fiery eyes, he had not even a trace of fear in his eyes.

R: Tum wahi thi na jo mere team ke aas paas batak rahi thi? My whole team is still mourning your fake death. How could you betray us? Tum log mere team ko harm karoge? And tumhe kya laga mein aisa hone dunga?

Before they could react, Randhir gave a hard punch on the black guys face, when the other retorted, another punch landed on his stomach. Everytime the thought of Sanyukta in danger struck him, the punches landed even more deadly. How dare you guys plan to kill my love!!! Don't you dare near her! If u even think of harming her I am going to KILL you.. He was fighting like an obsessed person. In almost 5 minutes, both of them were down and out in the ground. Randhir took a heavy object lying beside(small sized rock) and was about to drop it on their heads, just then someone, placed a pistol on his head.

"Don't act over smart Mr. Randhir Singh Shekhawat! If u do, then be ready to lose your loved ones" a voice came from behind.. Randhir dropped the rock and turned back. He was fatally astonished to see the person, he was none other than the village's head. Dream team met him the day they landed here. Then he seemed a nice man, well built but now his true colours were out. He was the one who kept his fellow villagers in dark in order to do all kinds of illegal trades mostly after 6 PM. He ruled the forest like a king keeping his villagers at bay. He fooled them everyday by all types of ghastly stories and they kept getting fooled. While Randhir was still astonished he spoke,

"Randhir Singh Shekawat, Topper of FITE, I have heard quite a lot about you. You love challenges right! So let's play it your way! I ll give you two options! Either u die and your team survives or your team dies and you survive! Choose ur pick!!"

Randhir, had he be not given an option, still he would only choose his team over him, Nah, he ll be a bit selfish, he ll choose Sanyukta over him. For him, to live a damn life without Sanyukta meant nothing more than a trash.

Randhir thought to himself "Isse behatar mein mar Jaun uske liye.. Pyaar me Log kehte hain na, mein tumhare liye Kuch b karunga jaan bhi dunga and all, u know what's the difference between them and me? Zyada nahi hai Sanyukta!! Sirf Itna ki woh log sirf kehte hain par mein KARUNGA!! Tumhare liye Kuch bhi karun toh yeh jaan kya cheez hai!! Yeh pyaar b kitne ajeeb cheez hai na! Ab bhi I am happy coz my love ll get to see my last minute in this earth. I am sure she ll find the camera. She is smart. Aakhir wife kiski hai!" His lips parted in a smile even at that situation.

I PREFER TO DIE !! His voice was clear and convincing. He had no fear.. Gosh, pyaar me koi Itna daring b ho sakta hai kya!

Randhir closed his eyes and visualised his love.. He only wanted to see her as the last thing in this world. All the thoughts of her flashed in front of his eyes, their first meet, their first hate kiss, the way she hugged him like a baby, their only bike ride!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SANYUKTA!!! He whispered.

The guy thought to himself "I am neither going to let you go nor your team, let me first finish your task, then I ll take care of the others, bunch of fools!"

He pointed the pistol right at Randhir's head and said "Good Bye Mr.Shekawat! May your soul rest in peace"

"WOH TAB HOGA JAB TU ZINDA RAHEGA DAMN IT!!" The guy froze in shock when he heard this voice from behind..
