12. 𝙐𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝

ᴍᴏɴᴀᴍɪ'ꜱ ᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴠɪᴇᴡ

I walked out of the cafeteria fiercely and made my towards the jeep as I drove towards the Park Street and parked the jeep at a certain distance.

I masked up my face but didn't changed the clothings, but instead just put on a black hoodie and took my gun and tucked it behind my jacket, and hanged on the small black backpack and just then a man came out of nowhere with his gun as he was moving towards me, aiming his gun at me but I was quick enough to choke him and took his gun.

I placed the communicator on and informed, "Silver here. On field."

"Positive." the three girls reply.

I carefully made my way towards the warehouse and the deserted street when I found Sneha as I swiftly walked and reached near her as she aimed her gun at me being startled as I said, "Silver."

Sneha sighed and aimed down the gun as she pointed at the back door of the warehouse, "10 guards. Gunjan ma'am ki beti vahin hai..."

I nodded, and placed my hand on my communicator as I enquired, "Riya, Aditi? Come in?"

"Crystal." they replied.

"Location?" I questioned.

"Main gate." Riya replied.

They took a moment when Aditi information, "20 goons."

"Look for some hidden entrance, windows or anything. Just get the girls to safety." I ordered them.

An affirmative reply came back as they said, "Copy that."

"Over and out." I said.

I glanced at Sneha and both of us nodded our heads and coming out of our shelter we stood infront of the guards as they looked at us shocked but then laughed as one of them said, "Kya baat hai. Bas do ladkiyan? Ek kaam krte hain inhe bhi en ladkiyon ke saath bech dete hain, jaise us ladki ko pakda!"

I clenched my fists as he signalled four of his men to catch me and Sneha but I placed the silencer on my gun and aimed it at one of the men as I said, "Koshish krke dekhlo. Kyunki tum bachoge toh nahi."

Sneha had already engaged herself in the fight with the goons as three men barged onto me together, as I kicked one man in his lower abdomen, and dodging the attack by the other man, I hit him on his stomach from my elbow as he was pushed backwards due to the sudden attack and looking at the third man, I just strangled him to his death directly.

I saw two man attacking Sneha, as I aimed my gun at them and shot them to death and now I finally I turned to look at the man who was looking at me horrified when my face cover fell down, as he spoke up astonished, "Cadet Doctor Monami Mahajan."

He was startled and taking the chance I knocked him down unconscious and opened the door of the warehouse to find Aashna unconscious as I kneeled down to wake her up as I said, "Aashna wake up! Aashna!"

Aashna slowly opened up her eyes and barely managed to stand on her feet as she pointed at the door and spoke up, "Baaki ladkiyan vahaan hain..."

Sneha looked at me, waiting for my command as I said, "Main aapke saath chalti hoon..."

Before I could complete we heard the sound of gunshot from outside as Sneha spoke up, "Negative. Silver, take her out of here, main baaki ladkiyon ko rescue krongi, it's my duty!"

"But Sneha.." I spoke up to deny.

But I was interrupted as the door opened and few men saw my face, as I quickly drapped the black mask around my face as Sneha confirmed, "Experience se keh rahi hoon. Go! Get the rescue team later."

I nodded and shot two men as I picked Aashna in my arms and got her near the jeep and made Aashna sit on the passenger sit, as I tied the seatbelt and started to drive away towards the Academy.

Coming at a distance from the warehouse, I removed the mask and stole a glance at Aashna who was unconscious as she was murmuring something, but I could not concentrate on that right now.

I could feel that the first halve of this game is coming to an end. And, so is my mask of pretence along with other's.

I glanced at the time and it was 10 at night, I sighed knowing that it's the time for me to answer the questions.

I speeded up my Jeep and reached infront of my car, as I picked Aashna in my arms once again, my backpack still hanging on my shoulders and as soon I entered, I found Karan, Sid, Sanju, Koel, and Faizi standing there as they looked at my condition and Aashna tensed.

Before they could question me anything, I spoke up, "Sab btaungi, lekin pehle dispensary! Karan, esse sambhalo..."

They nodded, as Karan took Aashna from my arms and all of us rushed towards the dispensary, which was completely empty as Karan placed Aashna on the bed, while she continued to murmur in her unconscious self.

Five of them surrounded her, while I started to look around for the injection and finally found it as I rushed near her when I heard her murmuring clearly, "Sor-ry Mona-mi. Mu-jhe bacha lo... Help.... Mona..."

Her words left incomplete as I injected her and planting a soft kiss on her forehead I assured, "Kuch nahi hoga tumhe. Yeh mera promise hai tumhe."

Getting hold of my emotions I backed off and turned to look at five of them and spoke up calmly, "Cafeteria mein chalein?"

Without saying anything they walked out and I followed them when Faizi instructed Ustaad ji, "Ustaad ji, dispensary ke aas paas hi rahiyega. Aur andar ho ladki hai uska dhyaan rakhiyega.."

Ustaad ji nodded and all of us departed towards the cafeteria, while as soon we entered they turned to look at me and I placed down the bag, and was about to start when Bhabhi and Baby entered the cafeteria as Baby rushed to me, and hugged me while I kneeled down to hug her back.

And as soon we hugged eachother, a bullet shot was heard in my earpiece as Baby jerked and I mentally slapped myself when Baby spoke up breaking my chain of thoughts, "Chachi phir se bullet ki awaaz aayi."

I instantly stood up, and this time Karan, Sid, Sanju, Faizi and Koel noticed the communicator in my ear as they glared at me but turning to Baby, Koel spoke up with a gentle smile, "Baby, aisa toh kuch nahi hai..."

"Monami, tum pehle yeh btao ki ho kya raha hai? Pehle, jo cafeteria mein hua... Aur ab yeh kya haal bana rakha hai tumne apna?" Bhabhi questioned, looking at me.

Before I could reply Batra Sir entered in the cafeteria as he enquired, "Monami, mujhe Banta ne yahaan bheja hai. Kya hua?"

Damnit! Why the things are rushing like this!

I inhaled deeply to calm myself as I started, "Sab samjhati hoon..."

But, I was interrupted as a familiar voice yelled out my name, "Monami!"

"Aashna!" I yelled back out of reflex.

Aashna ran to me and hugged me tightly, as her arms were wrapped around my waist, as I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and head as she sobbed, "Sorry Monami...."

Everyone looked at her and me confused while I said, "Aashna, it's not your fault. Tumne yeh sab Jaan muchke thodi kiya?"

"Sorry... Voh kl raat ko maine mom ko kehte huye suna, ki she is at Park Street. Mujhe unse milna tha Monami... I thought kl zaada late hojaega esliye today after waking up, I instantly went there...." Aashna confessed, much to my shock.

I couldn't say anything as she continued, "I was so desperate ki main bhool gyi thi ki mere on field jaane se tumhara mission ruin hosakta hai..."

Batra Sir, and Bhabhi looked at me startled while Bhabhi's hands were wrapped around Baby while Karan, Sid, Faizi, Sanju and Koel were listening intently to Aashna when she separated herself from me and apologised, this time panicking, "Sorry Monami! Meri vajah se tumhara chehra unke saamne aagya! Damnit! They saw your face. Monami, main tumhara mission kharab nahi krna chahti thi... Silver, sorry!"

This time Karan along with my four bestfriends looked at me startled as first I decided to calm Aashna, "Aashna, it's fine. I know Sneha ne vahaan sab handle krliya hoga. Tumhe kuch auction ki location mili..."

"Something Blue... Wait, main sab btati hoon..." Aashna said, calming herself.

I nodded but reached out for my earpiece first, as I tapped on it to turn on the communicator and informed, "She is safe."

"Situation under control." Replied Sneha.

I sighed as I glanced at everyone's faces and realised that I am slowly and steadily unveiling the truth.

I turned to look at Aashna when someone barged inside and I looked at the person who interrupted us with the dangerous look!

Aneesh! I glanced at Aashna who instantly stood beside me with a jerk, holding my arms as everyone else looked at Aneesh angrily while Aneesh said looking at me, "As expected, yeh sab tumhare alawa aur kaun krsakta tha Mo?'

I clenched my fists as Aashna said, "He is the one who caught me."

"I need that girl Mo!" Aneesh demanded, whereas I pushed Aashna behind me where Bhabhi was standing with Baby as I spoke up, "Bhabhi, baby ko leke piche hatiye... Karan, Sid, Faizi, Sanju, Koel cover them."

Without saying anything, five of of them stood infront of Bhabhi and Baby, blocking Baby's view while Bhabhi could clearly see all of it while Sanju and Koel held Aashna, trying to calm her.

Suddenly I heard Sneha in my earpiece, "Silver, that voice! He is the one! He might have the info!"

As soon I registered her words, without thinking I made my way towards him and no sooner did I held him by his nape and smashed his head on the table, with so much force.

He shrieked in pain, as I could just recall about the information I recieved last day, Aashna's unconscious state, the girls.

Blood was oozing out from his forehead as he barely managed to stand but then I slapped him tightly as I yelled, "You are the damn reason ki yeh sab horha hai!"

Venting out my anger, I kicked him on his stomach and then while holding him by his neck, I pinned him to the wall, in an attempt to strangle him, he could barely breath but then I pushed him on the ground.

Not because I was merciful but because I don't have a heart big enough to let him die peacefully after what all he did.

It's not just about me, Karan, or anyone in the academy but it's about those girls whom he wanna get auctioned and the country he is betraying!

"Monami stop! Mar jayega voh!" said Karan taking a step forward.

But I didn't let him as I said, "Trust me Karan, agr tum ya phir Sid, Sanju, Koel aur Faizi hote meri jagah toh esse bhi bura krte!"

Karan stopped midway, now unsure if he should interrupt to which I blinked my eyes, assuring him.

I grabbed Aneesh by his arm and started to scream in pain which couldn't be seen by Aashna, and Bhabhi, while Baby's view was thankfully blocked and Bhabhi had kept her hands on her ears to prevent the noises.

"Mo tum ek doctor hoke ek insaan ko hurt kr rhi ho?" Aneesh said in an attempt to manipulate me.

"Doctor kehlane ke laayak toh tum nahi ho Aneesh Malhotra! Ladkiyon ko bechna! Desh ka sauda krna! Yeh sikhaya gya hai tumhe medical college mein!? Ya phir yeh sikhaya ki logon ki jaan kaise lete hain!?" I yelled back, gritting my teeth as I pushed him towards the wall, as I stood infront of him at a distance.

Everyone present there were beyond shocked on hearing my words, and I could feel the anger rising within each of the them except my innocent Baby.

When suddenly I heard Sneha's scream in my communicator, making me flinch as I yelled, "Sneha!?"

There was silence for a while, when I heard Aditi, she sounded like in grief, "Sneha ko bullet lagi hai, above her chest ... She couldn't survive..."

"Don't let her sacrifice go in vain." I uttered, gulping back my emotions.

"Positive." Riya replied as Aditi said, "Kartavya, saahas va balidaan..."

"Desh ke khaatir, desh ke naam..." I continued, closing my eyes monetarily.

"Desh ki mitti sar aankhon par..." I heard Riya.

And then three of us said together, "Desh se hai apni pehchaan!"

I found everyone looking at me startled, while understanding what it meant, Batra Sir, Karan, Faizi, Sanju, Koel and Sid stood in silence and that's when I glared at Aneesh as he said, "Kya hua, Park Street ki voh tumhe bhagane wali aurat mar gyi?"

"Mari nahi hai! Shaheed huyi hain!" I said dangerously, pulling out the gun which was tucked behind my jacket and aimed it at his forehead.

"Monami, gun neeche karo... Lag jayegi..." said Aneesh terrified.

I placed my finger on the trigger as I gave him a do or die option, "Auction ki jagah ya death? Choose!"

He pleaded to me to leave him which were left unheard by me, as I counted, "Three."

Aneesh looked at me horrified but ignoring his look I continued, "Two."

I positioned myself to shoot him as I finally said, "O..."

I was interrupted as Aneesh shouted, "Blue Paradise!"

Without thinking I shot him on his left hand, as he winced in pain as I turned to look at other and spoke up calmly, "Batra Sir, please Aneesh ko academy ki custody mein lijiye. I will elaborate the situation to you."

Batra Sir nodded as he asked Ustaad ji to take Aneesh in custody and ask some academy doctor to treat his wound, while leaving Aashna with Bhabhi and Baby, six of us left with Batra Sir to his cabin.
