Holding the mobile on his ear sidharth stood at the balcony with a hand inside his pocket. He was tapping his foot continuously. He wasn't calm. His mind was fighting with numerous thoughts which he just wanted to through out of his mind. It was frustrating him to no end.

"Rana, Vo sharma k sath deal cancel krde. Uske 5 Cror muh p maar uske aur dfa kar usko" said sidharth gritting his teeth as soon as rana answered his call.

Rana was the one who always stood with sidharth. He was trustworthy. He understands sidharth to a good extent. He always considered sidharth like his elder brother even though he was 2 years older than sidharth. He too was fearless but he respects sidharth a lot. He knows him well to respect him.

"Bhai pehle to aap ye btao, aap ho kahan. Apun aap ka idhar wait kar rha tha. Aap ne apna mobile bhi band kar rkha tha" said rana as he heard sidharth.

"Rana ye sab baad m, pehle maine jo bola hai vo kar. mai ye deal cancel kar rha hoon. Us Sharma k paise vapis krde. M iss ladki ko vapis chhod rha hoon iske ghar" said sidharth. His voice held anger which he was suppressing. How could he kidnap her? He just couldn't and the reason he didn't know.

"Bhai aap kya bol rhe ho. Pehle to aap uss ladki ko hamare area m nhi lekar aaye. Abhi pta nhi kahan ho aur upar se deal cancel krne ki baat kar rhe ho. Bhai aaj tak aapne koi kaam adhura nhi chhoda hai aur na hi koi deal cancel ki hai.  chal kya rha hai?" asked rana totally shocked with his decision.

"Rana maine jitna bola hai tu utna kar. Tujhe pta hai na mujhe zyadan sawal jawab psand nhi hai" said sidharth gritting his teeth. He was getting agitated now because he was already frustrated. Him having no answers to the questions his mind had was frustrating him.

"Maaf krna Bhai lekin abhi ye nhi ho skta. Aap jahan bhi ho vahin rho abhi. Uss ladki k baap ne poori Mumbai police use dhundne k liye lgwa di hain. Idhar mahol bhut garm hai. Use uske ghar nhi le kar jaa skte aap abhi aur inspector ka phone aaya tha. Aapke baare m puchh rha tha to maine bol diya k do din se bahr ho aap. Abhi bahr mat niklna bhai kuchh din aap" said rana making sidharth more angry. Getting frustrated he just disconnected the call.

Closing his eyes he took a deep breath resting against the railing. What was he doing and why? was the question and he had no answers of his actions.

He never left his work unaccomplished. He wasn't understanding why he wanted to leave her to her home? He wasn't afraid of police. He was never. Never in his life police had managed to get any proof against him.

He could easily go out without any fear . But he couldn't take her out if the news was all around. It wasn't good for her and the truth was that he cared.

"Dekhiye sir hum aap ki baat samjh rhe hain lekin humari team lgi hui hai na. Poori Mumbai police dhund rhi hai aapki beti ko. Lekin aapko thodi patience rakhni hogi aur hume hamare kaam krne dijiye" said the inspector to Rajbir Shergill who was totally shattered.

His daughter was kidnapped and it's been 5 hours now. His sher puttar was in trouble. How could he keep patience.

Police inspector and few constables were in his house along with him and his mother who was crying continuously for her granddaughter.

"Rajbir puttar kithe honi meri bachi. pta ni theek v hogi k nahi. haye waheguru meri bachi ki rakhsha krna" said shehnaaz's grandmother as her son set beside her totally shattered.

He was always very protective for his daughter. His daughter was naive. She was too innocent for this cruel world and it always made him scared for his little princess.

After his wife's death, his mother and his daughter were the all he had. He always tried to protect her but today he felt he was failed. He couldn't protect his little baby.

Tears were threatened to roll down his eyes but he didn't want to cry. He had to find his daughter.

"Maa, humari sanu theek hogi na?" asked her father in helplessness. His mother let out a loud sob and engulfed her son in her arms.

Rajbir Shergill was crying in his mother's embrace for his daughter. Patting her son's back she tried to assure him that their naaz would be fine wherever she was. That was all they could do now.

Opening the door of her room he entered inside and looked around to find her. Walking close to bed he found her sleeping on the ground resting her head at the edge of the bed. She had kept her one elbow at the edge of the bed to balance her face. Tears strains had covered her rosy cheeks. Eyes were puffy and that little nose was red.

He could feel his heart ached. He felt pain inside seeing this delicate baby in such misery. First time he hated himself for hurting someone and he was well known to the fact now that she was not just someone.

The denial of his mind couldn't change the feelings his heart had developed for her and he could feel loosening himself into her.

Sitting on his one knee beside her he put the hair strand behind her ear softly. He knew she would get pain because of her sitting position. Slowly he placed his one hand under her head and removed her elbow with the other hand.

Her body felt the comfort as she leaned on him in her sleep. Finding a perfect place on his chest she completely loosened her body on him. Her action made him hold her from her waist with his one hand. Feeling her hot breaths on his chest, he could feel his own breaths getting heavy.

He was heartless who never felt any emotions for anybody. How could this girl affect him? and why?

Tightening his hold on her waist he took her in his arms and slowly placed her on the bed. He knew what was he doing but he did. 

Leaning on her a little, he  pressed his lips on her forehead and kissing her forehead he just left the room.

______________________________

Entering inside his room he banged the door loudly. Taking a cigarette from the table placed in the room he stood near the window puffing the cigarette. His mind had been a total mess now. He wasn't able to think anything clearly.

He knew his action whatever he was doing but still he wasn't able to control himself.

He knew what he was feeling but wasn't able to stop those feelings.

He knew he was changing but wasn't able to stop those changes.

He knew he was loosing himself but still he wasn't able to take that damn control on himself. How could he had emotions for someone?

He was alone since always and he didn't want anyone. He couldn't think of her in his life. She was innocent and he was a monster who just knows destruction. He would ruin her but he knew he was loosing the battle.

Closing his eyes he took a deep breath. His life will change into good or will he ruin hers?
