Hey guys...

Enjoy this part...😊

He told his right hand man to investigate about her. It's nearly 4 in the morning. She was sleeping after taking the second dose of her medicines whereas he was still working on his laptop. Four coffee mugs were there, on the nearby coffee table and because of that, he was still very much actively busy in his work.

He stood up to go towards the the kitchen to make yet another coffee but stopped suddenly after hearing her cries of help. He hurriedly ran towards her room and entered inside without any delay and closed the door behind him. The room was nealy pitch black but the moonlight was coming through the window. He went towards her bed and switched on the side lamp.

He understood that she was having a nightmare. He sat beside her hesitantly and tried to hold her to wake her up. He said...

Karan (Jerking her a little) - Monami, utho... Monami, tum sapna dekh rahi ho. Please, uth jao...!!!

Monami (In her sleep) - Nahi... Nahi... Please, unhe mat maaro. Unhone kya bigada hai tumhara, please unhe jaane do.

Maa... Papa... Vikram... Please, use koi to roko. Vo unhe maar dega... Please, mujhe akeli chhodkar mat jayiye...!!!

Listening Vikram's name from her, he was a bit puzzled as he knew him very well but she was his first priority so, he said...

Karan (Jerking her little more again) - Monami, utho...!!!

Monami (In her sleep) - Mere kareeb mat aao. Please, mujhe jaane do. Chodo mujhe, please mujhe jaane do. Maine kya bigada hai tumhara? Please, mujhe jaane do.

She was crying badly because of her nightmare. He was confused as to how to help her and wake her up. Gauri wasn't there so, he even couldn't call her. He didn't know that what he's doing but he wanted to stop her cries at any cost because it reminded him of something which had happened in his past life. He has lost someone and he couldn't even save that person.

He didn't know that what came over him and he just started to kiss her. He somehow wanted to stop her cries but he didn't know how to do that so, he did whatever came to his mind first. He was just kissing her whereas she was still struggling in her sleep. He was trying to steady her as much as he can. After a while, she calmed down a little and stopped struggling. He could still feel her tears but when she stopped struggling, he slowly broke the kiss but he was still near her. He asked...

Karan (In a whispering manner to himself) - Aisa kya hua hai tumhare sath, jo tum is tarah se behave kar rahi ho? Na tum mujhe kuch puchhne de rahi ho aur na hi mujhe kuch bata rahi ho.

(Sitting near her properly) Mujhe laga shayad tumhe kisine mujhpe spy karne bheja hai, lekin tumhare ye aanshu mujhe juthe kyu nahi lag rahe? Kyu lagta hai ke tumhe kisiki protection ki sakht zaroorat hai? Kyu lagta hai ke tumhe na jante hue bhi, tumhe janta hu, tumhare dard ko pehchanta hu main? Kyu dil karta hai ke tumhe, tumhare in aansuon se protect karu, tumhare is dard se protect karu?

He suddenly looked at her as a realisation downed upon him. He asked...

Karan (To himself while getting up from his place) - Why did I kiss her? Maine aisa kyu kiya? Aur bhi kai tarike ho sakte the, why this?

He started to leave from there in a hurry but saw that she wasn't covered with a blanket properly so, he slowly went near her and covered her properly. He again started to stare at her but then, he left from there hurriedly.

Next Morning, At 8 AM...

Gauri entered inside Monami's room to check on her and found her already awake. When she saw Gauri there, she sat up properly on the bed and greeted her...

Monami (With a weak smile) - Good Morning, Aunty.

Gauri (Sitting beside her smilingly) - Good Morning, Beta... To kaisa lag raha hai ab? Kal nind thik se aayi thi? Ab koi dard to nahi hai na?

Monami (Trying not to be emotional) - Nahi... Main... Main thik hu ab... Thank you, mera dhyan rakhne ke liye.

Gauri (Putting a hand over her head smilingly) - Are isme thank you wali kya baat hai, Beta? Main doctor hu aur ye mera kaam hai. Aur fir, mera Beta tumhe yaha lekar aaya tha to isliye tum chinta mat karo.

Monami (A bit hesitantly) - Aunty... Kya aapko pata hai ke... I mean... Aapka Beta...

Gauri (Completing her question) - Ek Mafia Leader hai?... (When Monami nodded her head) Haa, pata hai. Magar ye uski choice nahi thi, use ye sab apne Pita se mila hai.

Monami (Nodding her head in negative) - I'm sorry, Aunty... Mujhe nahi pata ke aapki aur aapke bete ki situation kya rahi hogi aur main aapko judge bhi nahi kar rahi but har kisi ke pass harek situation ko sambhalne ke alag - alag options hote hai, vo aap pe depend karta hai ke aap konsa choose karte hai. Mera to yahi manna hai, baki ye aap dono ki lives hai. Agar maine kuch zyada...

Karan (Suddenly entering inside her room) - Yahi to problem hai na tumhari ke tum bolti bahot zyada ho. Jis baare me tumhe pata nahi, us baare me apne opinions tum apne pass rakh sakti ho, kisine tumse mange nahi hai... Aur tum hoti kon ho, humare family matters me bolnewali? Mehmaan ho, vahi raho... Samjhi?

Monami (Trying to justify) - Mera vo kehne ka matlab...

Karan (Sarcastically) - Tumhara kya matlab tha ya matlab hai, isse mera koi lena dena nahi hai, samjhi? Meri family ke matters se dur raho. Vaise bhi yaha kuch hi ghanto ki mehmaan ho tum...!!! Behtar hoga tum yaha silently, bina kisi aawaaz ke raho... Varna tum janti ho ke main kon hu aur kya kar sakta hu.

He left from there in anger and she sat on there in a cocoon, trying to cover herself with her hands. Gauri put a hand on her head and said...

Gauri (Caressing her hair) - Daro mat, Beta... Aur uski baaton ka bura to bilkul mat manna. Mera Karan ek coconut jaisa hai. Bahar se jitna sakht dikhta hai na, andar se utna hi nazuk aur massom bacha hai ke jise protection ki zaroorat hai. Vo bas khud ko tumhare lafzon se bachana chahta tha aur isiliye usne aise react kiya.

Monami (With some tears) - Mujhe yaha nahi rehna hai. Main apni marzi se yaha nahi aayi thi. Mujhe to yaha pohochte - pohochte pata chala tha ke Karan ek Mafia Leader hai. Please, mujhe yaha se jaane dijiye. Mujhe yaha kaidi banke nahi rehna hai, please...!!!

Gauri (Astonishingly) - Beta, tu yaha kaidi nahi hai. Tu jaha tak chahe yaha reh sakti hai aur jab chahe yaha se ja sakti hai. Tujhe koi nahi rokega, Beta. Maine kaha na ke tujhe darne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai...!!!

(Looking at her watch) Khair... Breakfast ka time ho gya hai. Main to tujhe ye kapde dene aayi thi. Tu shower lekar bahar aaja. Hum sath me breakfast karege, thik hai?

Monami nodded at Guari and she left from there whereas Monami was still a bit shaken up after seeing the anger in his eyes and tone. She got up slowly to take the shower while still limping a bit.
