Welcome back to Guilt the Riya Sharma case

┏━━━━━❀•:🎀 Chapter 28 🎀:❀━━━━━┓

Haveli Basement

Shubman and Ishan walked in, their expressions unreadable but their eyes sharp like blades.

In the center of the room, Soham and Vikram were tied to old wooden chairs, ropes digging into their arms. Black cloth was wrapped tightly over their eyes.

Soham shifted, panicked, trying to make sense of his surroundings.

Soham: Who are you?

Vikram (irritated and aggressive): Why are we tied here?

Shubman (coldly): Open their eyes.

Vikas, standing silently to the side, stepped forward and ripped off the blindfolds. The sudden light made both Soham and Vikram squint.

As their vision cleared, they gasped.

Soham and Vikram (shocked): Tum!!

Soham (breathing fast, nervous): Why am I here?.. I didn't tell anyone about you.

Vikram (furious): How dare you do this?! You don't know who I am!

Ishan (stepping in with a mocking grin): Oye... one by one bhauko... My Shub gets irritated when there's too much noise... Fir bolne ka mauka diye bina hi pack ho jaoge... Samjhe?

Shubman (walking closer to Vikram, voice sharp): Pehle tera hisaab kar lete hain, Mr. Vikram Ahuja.

Vikram (trying to stay calm): Why am I here?

Shubman: Yaha sirf main sawaal puch sakta hoon.

Vikram (struggling, threatening): You don't know what you're doing...

Shubman (leaning down, voice icy): I know exactly what I'm doing. Why were you trying to kidnap Shristi Bajaj?

Vikram (shouting): That's none of your matter! Just leave me right now... You don't know-I have connections with the mafia!

Shubman (raising an eyebrow, sarcastically): Oh! Great... Which group?

Vikram (smirking through pain): Oh! Seems like you're too connected with them... That's why you know about groups. Then we should be friends... Why are you fighting over her with me?

Shubman (expression turning stone cold): That's not the answer.

Without warning, Shubman raised his gun and fired. The bullet hit Vikram's shoulder.

Vikram (screaming in pain): Ahhhh!

Shubman (calmly, but with dark rage): Next target will be your bloody heart... or your brain. So just answer my questions. Why did you want to kidnap her?

Vikram (breathing hard, tears of pain in his eyes): Because... her uncle wants to kill her...

Shubman (shocked but composed): Why?

Vikram (groaning): Property.

Shubman: From which group do you have connections?

Vikram: Mercury...mainly. But actually... from almost every group...

Shubman looked at Ishan, a silent message passing between them.

Ishan (stepping forward): How?

Vikram (panting): My father worked for them... They used to supply humans... for satisfaction. And... I do the same...

He burst into tears, shaking in pain and guilt.

Shubman paused, stunned, then spoke again.

Shubman: Was your father Mr. Shrikant Ahuja?

Vikram (nodding slowly): Yes... You know him?

Shubman's eyes filled with fury. Without saying another word, he grabbed a can of petrol nearby and poured it over Vikram's body.

Vikram's screams began even before the lighter touched him.

Vikram (screaming in agony): Please! Leave me! Leave me! Don't do this! ...you don't know who I am?..You will not be safe ..who are you?

Shubman (calm but deadly): The underworld Mafia King Shubman Singh Gill. That's what I am.

Vikram's eyes widened in disbelief, his breath catching even through the fire's torment. He froze, the shock more painful than the flames.

Without hesitation, Shubman tossed the lit lighter onto him. The fire roared louder.

Vikram's screams pierced the silence, echoing through the basement like the sound of hell itself.

Ishan : ye srikant vahi hai na ?.. Abhishek vala?

Shubman nodded

Just then, Abhishek stormed into the room. One glance at the burning man stopped him in his tracks.

Ishan : we will talk about that later!

Abhishek (horrified)

Shubman (without turning): Abhi... bahar ja...

Abhishek stood frozen, unable to move.

Abhishek (stammering): Who... who is he?

Shubman (calmly): Mercury. We'll talk later.

Abhishek (Inquiring): You killed him?

Shubman (tilting his head): Why?

Abhishek: I have to count, na?

Shubman: What was the last number?

Abhishek: 907...

Shubman (coldly): Now it's 1001.

Abhishek (confused): How??

Shubman: Two back then... and these two.

Abhishek (glancing at Soham): Okay... Is it going to be cruel?

Shubman (shrugging): Maybe.

Abhishek: Please warn me first...

Shubman: Definitely.

He turned to face Soham, who was already pale and trembling, his eyes glued to the horrifying sight of Vikram burning alive.

Shubman (firmly): Let's come to you... Soham.

Soham (terrified, voice shaking): Please leave me... Mene kuch nahi kiya hai... Aap jaisa bologe, main waisa karunga...

Shubman (stepping closer): Answer me! Riya Sharma ko last kab dekha?

Soham (fumbling): Ab... vo apni maasi ke ghar ja rahi thi... tab... uske breakup se pehle...

Shubman (shouting, furious): Why didn't you tell this earlier?! And how do you know she had a breakup?

Soham (panicking): I was scared... of you... aur... vo...

Shubman's glare was enough to shut him up.

Soham (breaking under pressure): Vo... I was stalking...

Shubman (disgusted): I was damn sure. Dogs like you can't be fixed in jail.

Soham sat there, drenched in fear. Meanwhile, Vikram's dying screams continued but only Abhishek was affecting by the scrms .. He looked at Vikram's burning body, trying to look away, but failing miserably.

Ishan noticed his disturbed state.

Ishan: Abhi bro... Go, man... Keep an eye on the door. When Sara comes, call us. Okay?

Abhishek nodded quickly and rushed out, almost stumbling as he left.

Ishan and Shubman exchanged a look.

Vikas stepped forward, covering his nose from the smell.

Vikas: Sir... ye aise hi chillayega... Toh bahar Sara ma'am aayi toh dikkat hogi...

Shubman (coldly): Hmm... Ice tank mein duba do isse. Jab mar jaye, lash dafna dena. Go.

Vikas nodded and dragged the half-burnt, unconscious Vikram away.

Shubman (to Ishan): Tu ja... dekh Aditi kya kar rahi hai...

Ishan (mocking as he leaves): Omg!... Kaafi darnaak maut hogi iski... R.I.P Soham... I'll be back soon. You can talk in peace.

Shubman took a step toward Soham, who was now drenched in sweat, heart pounding.

Shubman (darkly): Now admit your crimes.

Soham: Vo... I stalked her... because I loved her... then...

Shubman (angriest): Then you tried to harass her!

Soham nodded in fear.

Shubman: When Sara saved her... you tried to kidnap her?

Soham, still shocked, nodded again.

Soham (whispering): Aapko kaise pata?

Shubman (cutting him off): Admit. Did you?

Soham nodded with his head hanging low.

Shubman (angrily): Then what?

Soham (fumbling, defeated): I... I tried to... did same with her... I tried to mol*st her...

Shubman didn't wait. He grabbed a cutter and, with precise rage, sliced off one of Soham's fingers.

Soham (screaming): Aaahhhhhhh!

Shubman (roaring): Was she your property?! If she says no, then it means NO!They have the right to accept or reject someone.
She is human.She is equal.Who are you to do this to her just because she rejected you ?to satisfy your bloody ego?!
Who gave you this right!?

Soham was screaming in unbearable pain, his voice echoing through the basement.

Without a flicker of hesitation, Shubman grabbed his hand again and sliced off two more fingers. Blood splattered across the floor.

Soham's cries grew louder, raw with agony.

Just then, Shubman's phone rang.

Abhishek (on call): Sir... Sara ma'am aa rahi hai.

Shubman (calmly): Ok.

He ended the call and looked down at Soham, eyes cold and merciless.

Shubman: Tu chinta mat kar... itni aasani se nahi marega tu. Enjoy the pain...

He handed the bloodied cutter to Manish( random goon standing nearby)

Shubman (to Manish): Time to time... iski haath-pair ki fingers aur thumbs kaat-te rehna.

Manish nodded silently.

Shubman turned away, walking towards the sink in the corner. He washed his bloodstained hands with deliberate calmness, the water turning red.

Shubman walked into the hall, his was smiling softly now if nothing had happened minutes ago.

Just then, Sara entered, looking around, unaware of a small rock lying in her path.

As her heel slipped, she lost balance.

Before she could hit the ground, Shubman rushed forward, catching her in time one hand wrapped securely around her wrist, the other steadying her by her waist.

Sara's eyes were tightly shut in panic.

Shubman (softly): Are you fine?

Sara slowly opened her eyes, finding herself safe in his arms.

Sara (catching her breath): Ya... I am fine... thank you.

Shubman (with a smirk): Girne ki baat na hoti to... 'You're welcome' bhi bol deta.

Sara chuckled , a soft smile spreading on her face.

Abhishek (Fake cough ): Aayiye, baith kar continue karte hain.

Shubman helped Sara stand properly.

Ishan looked at Abhishek with wide eyes.

Ishan (via eyes, teasing): Kyu disturb kiya? Kitne cute lag rahe the...

Abhishek smirked in return.

Abhishek (via eyes, smiling): Maza aa raha tha...cute to lag rahe the waise...

Aditi narrowed her eyes at them.

Aditi (via eyes): Beta...jo aise dusron ko disturb karte rehte hain...unka romance ka mauka kabhi nahi aata...

Ishan (via eyes): to ye gadbad hai re baba...Ab se couple disturb karna band...ab samajh aaya...

Abhishek suddenly looked around.

Abhishek (via eyes): Haan...acha waise Naina kaha hai?

Ishan (via eyes, shrugging): Maybe 'mission sone ki chidya' par kaam kar rahi hogi.

Just then, Kartik entered the room and almost slipped, but Vishal held his hand just in time.

Shubman (concerned): Are you fine?

Vishal (scolding): Dekh ke chal na!

Ishan : Sambhal ke...bhai.

Aditi and Sara (in unison): Aaram se...lagi to nahi?

Kartik (dramatically, placing hand on chest): Itna pyaar dekh ke kahin main mar hi na jaun...

Shubman (dryly): drama karwalo bas ...

Sara glared sharply at Shubman.

Shubman (correcting himself): Bol...lagi to nahi?

Kartik laughed at that.

Kartik (smiling): Thank you, Sara ma'am.

Sara (softly): You're welcome.

Vishal (getting serious): Acha...main file lene aaya tha...check karni hai.

Shubman (nodding): Okay.

He handed the file from the table and Vishal left.

Kartik looked at a small rock lying nearby and picked it up.

Kartik (thinking): Ye yaha kaise aaya? Chhodo.

Kartik (aloud): Main gardening karne ja raha hu.

He left.

Shubman (to Ishan, joking): Ye sach mein garden ban gaya kya?

But Ishan was too busy in eye talk .

Shubman (calling out loudly): Oye! Ho gaya tum sab ka nain-mataka?

Everyone (except ShubSara): Sorry...

Sara : Waise, ye Chandni kaha hai?

Shubman : I didn't know you both became friends?

Sara (casually): Of course we are not...but your girls' gang...kaha hai?

Shubman: Maybe room mein hai...

Shubman (loudly): Chandni

At Chandni's side...

She quickly threw a gulel (slingshot) out of the window.

Chandni (loudly): Ayiiii!

Chandni (thinking to herself with pride): Kuch bhi ho Chandni...tera sirf gun nahi, balki gulel se bhi nishana pakka hai...ekdum point par gaya rock...how cute they were looking...

The gulel hit the file in Vishal's hand in garden . The papers scattered.

Vishal (irritated): Kaun hai? Koi mujhe kaam kyun nahi karne de raha?

Kartik walked back in, smirking.

Kartik (teasing): Kya hua, Amitabh Bachchan?

Vishal (mocking): Abe...tu bas kar, Jaya Bahaduri...

Kartik (sassy): Tu bolo toh cool main...bolun toh chup kar?

Vishal: Yes, hamare yaha aisa hi hota hai.

Kartik: Aur hum kisi ke baap ki nahi sunte...

Vishal (quickly changing tone): Good evening, Shubman sir!

Kartik turned quickly.

Kartik: Aapki to sunta hu...bhai!

Vishal : Abe oye...aise generally 'bhai' bolne ko mana kiya hai na...unhone...'sir' bola kar.

Kartik: Oh yeah!

Vishal: Safety ka sawal hai...vo kabhi kabhi to akele mein bhi nahi batate that we are also important to him...

Kartik: I know...waise tu kya kar raha tha?

Vishal : Abe hatt! Distract kar diya...file check kar raha tha...

Kartik: Kar le...main paudhon ko paani de du?

Vishal: Ja, Jaya Bahaduri...

Kartik: jaise aap kaho...Amitabh Bachchan...

Vishal: Kisi mahaan insaan ne kaha hai...

Kartik: Kya?

Vishal: Abe chal chal...

Kartik (grinning): Chandramukhi Chautala hai na uss mahaan insaan ka naam?

Vishal (laughing): Haan!

They both laughed and got back to their work.

Vishal's phone started ringing. He glanced at the screen and picked it up with a small smile on his face.

Vishal (softly, with affection): Hello, kesi ho jaan?

She : I am fine jaan, aur ab to kab milne aaoge? I am missing you...

Vishal (sighing tiredly): Abhi... kaam bohot hai, upar se Chandni naam ka ek tufan humare sir par baitha hai...

She (confused and a bit annoyed): Who is this Chandni?

Vishal (rolling his eyes, brushing it off): Chandni Malhotra, Uranus Queen... chhodo na usse. Ye batao tum kya kar rahi ho?

She (softly, with love): Tumhe miss...

Vishal (smiling, gently): Main bhi... jaldi milenge, don't worry. Aur main to soch raha hoon shaadi kar lete hain... phir to no need to miss, mere saath hi rahogi.

She (blushing, teasingly): Yes... par pehle aake haath to maango.

Vishal (grinning): Mangenge, pakka maang lenge.

Chandni entered the hall.

Sara (smiling): Hello, Miss Chandni.

Chandni (flashing a proud smile): Hello Sara...looking beautiful...but not more than me...for sure. Kyun Shubman?

Shubman looked at her with disbelief.

Shubman: Seriously??

Chandni (smirking): Dekha! Agree kar raha hai...

Shubman: Nahi...abhi mere itne bure din nahi aaye ki main tumse agree karu...

Chandni (teasing): Matlab tumhe Sara sundar lag rahi hai?

She gave a jealous look to Sara while teasing Shubman.

Sara smiled at her jealousy.

Shubman (dodging): Not interested in being a judge...

Chandni (smirking at Sara): No, she also wants to know...hai na Sara?

Sara (grinning): Yes, of course. Tell me...who's looking better?

Shubman (confused): Why?

Sara: Aise hi...we want to know. Tell us.

Ishan (raising hand playfully): Mera vote to Sara!

Aditi and Abhishek (together): Sara!

Just then, Vishal entered.

Vishal: Chandni!

Everyone turned to him in surprise.

Abhishek: Tum Chandni ko vote kar rahe ho?

Vishal: Kis liye? Ise to sirf main mental hospital jaane ke liye vote kar sakta hu...waise tum kab chunav mein khadi hui? Bataya nahi yaar...

Chandni (rolling her eyes): Pehli baat...kya tu mera pati hai jo bataungi...aur dusri...nahi...yahan voting for looks ho rahi hai...

Vishal: Dislike button kidhar hai?

Chandni (taunting): Tera muh hai na...dislike button...

Vishal: Arre arre...dislike button bhi apne standard ke hisaab se batao...main tumhari out-of-aukaat hu...

Chandni: Brahm ki bhi na ek limit hoti hai...

Vishal: Toh mat jiyo aise brahm mein ki yahan tumhe ek bhi vote milega...

Chandni (furious): Main tera khoon kar dungi!

Vishal (mocking): Arre jayo jayo...gun mere paas bhi hai...

Shubman (interrupting): Stop it! Why are you guys fighting like this?

Vishal (pointing): Isne shuru kiya...

Chandni (retorting): Toh tumhare kaam hi aise hain...

Shubman : Enough !

Chandni rolled her eyes and stepped aside.

Shubman (sternly): Everyone, back to work!

Everyone quietly got back to their respective tasks.

At Shubman and Sara’s side…

Sara (confused): Ab hume kya karna hai..?

Shubman (serious, focused): Case par kaam... jo bhi clues pehle reh gaye unhe analyse karna hai... see, first tumhare uncle aunty se bhi pooch taach karne ki zarurat hai... par woh hum direct nahi kar sakte, to nazar rakhenge.

He was explaining things, fully immersed in the case but Sara wasn’t listening. Her eyes were fixed on him, completely lost in his presence, staring at every movement of his lips and every expression he made.

Noticing her silence, Shubman snapped his fingers in front of her face.

Shubman (raising a brow): Sara?

She blinked quickly and came back to her senses.

Sara (blushing slightly): Bolo, kya keh rahe the?

Shubman : Tum kya soch rahi thi?

Sara (looking away): Kuch nahi... tum bolo.

Shubman (calmly): Main keh raha tha hum Riya ke mom dad par nazar rakhenge.

Sara (nods): Ohk... accha ek baat poochu?

Shubman (reading a file): Poochho...

Sara (nervous, but curious): Agar kisi ke baare mein had se zyada socho, to iska kya matlab hai?

Shubman glanced at her from the corner of his eye, then looked back at the file.

Shubman (plainly): Ki tum uski bohot care karti ho... btw, who is she?

Sara (playfully): She kyu? He bhi to ho sakta hai?

Shubman (smirking): Hmm... your brother?

Sara (rolling her eyes): No, he is not. He is... main kyu batau? Pakka care?

Shubman (light smile): Main to kisi ke baare mein tabhi sochta hoon jab mujhe uski care ho... positive thinking mein.

Sara (raising her brow): Kyun? Negative thinking ke liye  toh bade mafia ho tum... kisi ka murder sochte hoge...(Laughing ) mosquito bhi maare ho kabhi?

Shubman (leaning back, amused): Arey, aur main kahun haan to? Main bolun main ek mafia hoon to?

Sara (giggling): Haan, main bhi Aishwarya Rai hoon...

Shubman (leaning closer, teasing): Acha??

He was just about to say something when his phone rang.

Sara looked a bit annoyed.

Shubman (looking at her confused, then picking up the call): Ok... yeah, do it! Ok, schedule it after a week.

He cut the call and looked at Sara.

Sara (casually): Kya hua?

Shubman (shrugging): Nahi, bas meeting ke liye tha.

Sara: Oh!

Shubman sat down again, his eyes back on the file.

Sara (suddenly): Shubman... ye pyaar kaise hota hai?

Shubman looked up, surprised. His eyes widened a bit.

Shubman (genuinely confused): Ab... I don’t know. Mujhe kabhi nahi hua so, mujhe nahi pata.

Sara (softly): Oh! Toh kise pata hoga?

Shubman (calmly): Jisne kabhi pyaar kiya ho...

Sara (nodding slowly): Umm... ok.

Shubman (narrowing his eyes slightly): Aur ye tum kyun pooch rahi ho?

Sara (avoiding eye contact): Aise hi...

Shubman looked at her with a puzzled expression. His breathing suddenly picked up a little. He could feel it. But he quickly composed himself and sat quietly on the sofa.

Sara moved forward to say something, but her foot slipped. She fell directly onto Shubman.

They froze.

Their eyes locked in a deep, intense eyelock—neither of them blinking for a long moment. The world seemed to pause.

Finally, Shubman broke the moment.

Shubman (softly): Are you fine?

Sara (getting up, embarrassed): Yeah, thanks.

Shubman (teasing): What should I say? Welcome?

Sara lightly hit his arm and laughed. She stood up properly.

Shubman (curious): Kuch bol rahi thi?

Sara (grinning): Bhool gayi...

Suddenly, Chandni entered the room with her usual sass.

Chandni (smirking): Hello love birds. I mean Sara the love bird and Shubman the angry bird...

Shubman (rolling his eyes): Whatever.

Chandni (mocking): Shubman, tumhe Ishan bula raha tha...

Shubman (sarcastic): I didn’t know you became a messenger.

Chandni (crossing her arms): Whatever...

Sara (smiling): Jao Shub, kaam hoga.

Shubman nodded and left the room, still a bit dazed.

Chandni and Sara were standing in a quiet corner.

Chandni (smirking): Ready for round 2?

Sara (confidently): Off course.

Chandni: So... main aur tum dono taiyar hokar aayenge... and tum Shubman se iss baar puch kar rahogi. Okay?

Sara (raising an eyebrow): Tum kyun nahi?

Chandni (placing hand on chest dramatically): Kyunki main introvert hu.

Sara (in disbelief): Kahan se?

Chandni (grinning): Dil se.

Sara (rolling her eyes): Whatever, fine... dekhna, jeetungi toh main hi.

Chandni (playfully challenging): Let's see.

Sara walked away with a determined smile. Chandni watched her go, then spoke to herself with a mischievous smirk.

Chandni (to herself): Jeetogi toh tum hi... but let's see Shubman ke kaise hosh udhte hain jab tum uske liye taiyar hoke aati ho.
(to herself, dramatically)
Chandni tu Sun ke maze lene ki kese soch sakti hai ...

Just then, Shubman entered

Shubman (serious tone): Chandni, suno... mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai.

Chandni (in her mind, suddenly alert): Kahin isne kuch sun toh nahi liya...?

Shubman (coldly): Kaafi jaldi hai tumhe apni maut ki...

Chandni blinked, confused but cautious.

Chandni (innocently): Kya hua Shubman?

Shubman (firmly): Vo tum... mujhe batayogi ki karna kya chahti ho?
