Dreams and nightmare. chapter 28

Hey there! I  am glad you all are still with me though silently, but there. Love ya all for support. So, a big Question, What happened to Anuj?

Let's check it out.

Riddhi's P. O. V.

     After a long time, I'm again facing that same angst, which first step into my life when I was six. I won't say, that my childhood was not good. Infact,I and Jigar were blessed children, I can say we both were born with golden spoon in our mouth. But after that nightmare, everything changed. Our daily routine was interrupted by fear and it affected Mom deeply, little thud and she get aghast. I can't blame Dad also for all those days. It was the part of his job and he had to face circumstances complimented with it. But Mom has closed her eyes to that fact, after all she is not only his better half but, the mother of two. Jigar was fast asleep, you know thats a best part of being youngest in family, because they know elders will handle the matter, so they don't over think. I was the same, but now I can understand that why our parents did not allow us to watch TV at night during those days, so that we won't be able to hear their arguments. But their voices would still find way to my ears. I can understand, why Mom was all geared up, when me or Jigar was just a minute late from school. I can understand, Why during those days Mom stopped me and Jigar to visit our friends. But, I was just six to help either of my parent with the situation. I still remember those brawls between them, which made me cover my ears with my hands tightly.

    "Harshad, please try to understand me. I am not only your wife but a mother too. Why don't you understand, I'm living in fear with my every breath. You know, you and our kids are my life. I can't afford to loose any of you. Please, let's just leave this city and shift somewhere else. "

   " Abha, what do you think? if we will leave this city, they will allow us to do so. They won't spare us until I hand over all proofs. "

   " So just handover them and lets just leave. "

   " How many times I have to explain you Abha, its not that easy. People are expecting me to win justice for them. If I will do what you are asking for, they will be free to build more adultrated roads like this one and it will leads to horrendous life taking crimes, do you want me to support this thing only because of your nonsensical fear. "

   " Nonsensical? can you hear what you are saying. You are so damn involved into being great for other people, that you can't see what your family is going through. "

   " Great? do you really think I'm doing all these just for the greatness sake? Abha, dear, please try to understand, our fear gives them more power. They are vulnerable without our fear. please. "

    There was a silence after dad's explanation, followed by scream of my mother. A minute later mom dashed to our room and pick me up in her arms, then she went to Jigar and try to wake him up, but when she failed she dragged him out of the bed in haste, carrying in her other arm and we hide in the corner of the room, near the bed.  At that moment I was not that grown up to understand the situation, what I knew only was my mother is scared and if she is, we should. We were able to hear dad arguing with some strange voices, not to open our room door which was earlier locked by him. But when the door was broken, we understood his pleading failed. Three masked men carrying gun entered and looked at us with mallice. The middle one looked straight into my eyes and it debilitated me completely, next he came towards us and I felt my mother grip tightened furthermore, which almost chocked me. I still can't find out, whether it was my mother grip or that stranger's movement. He snatched me from my mother's safe hands, harshly and took me out of the room. My father was on his knees and a man has pointed gun on his head, he was crying and when he saw me, he started begging to them to leave me. I felt some hard and cold substance on the side of my head. When I turned my head, I was face to face with gun.
