Chapter 27


Mithali's farmhouse

Neil and his men finally arrived at Mithali's farmhouse and surrounded the entire house for detecting any movement occurring within the house.

Neil - ( speaking via the bluetooth ) Michael, take 3 men with you and check the backyard, rest of the men will come with me.

Michael - Yes sir.

They all splendid into the yard and started searching for Raghav's men but they didn't spot any single person so they all entered inside the mansion.

Neil - Check each and every room, I don't want to miss any clue.

John - What if some of his members are hiding somewhere?

Neil - Beat them, make them unconscious but don't kill those bastards. They will act as our information source.

Gang members - Yes sir.

They all started investigating the entire mansion. After one hour they all met in the living room with frustrated looks plastered on their faces.

Michael - They all were living here, we found their luggage which include some clothes and other accessories. These things are useless. ( sighs )

Neil - If they all were living here then where the hell they all went? Were they having a clue that we will come here? Collect all the things you get Michael. Maybe, we will get to know something important.

The men nods and start packing all the stuff that was lying there. Neil's gaze landed on a box of cigarettes lying on the coffee table, he opened the box and pulled out all the cigarettes.

Neil - You are overthinking Neil, you won't find anything in this box. ( sighs ) Sometimes, curiosity becomes irritating.

He was about to place the cigarettes on the table but one cigarette caught his attention. He observes it carefully and frowns. Slowly, he unwrapped the thin piece of paper that was enclosing cylindrical cardboard piece. He analyse the blank paper and walked towards the kitchen. He turned on the stove and positioned the paper above the flame in such a way that there was enough distance between paper and flame but at the same time it was getting the warmth of flame. After few minutes, the hidden message scribbled on the paper finally made its appearance.

"11-Feb-2020"
V.G

Neil - What these guys are planning? ( confuse )

Michael - Sir, something is about to happen after 3 days. Either, they are trying to attack Khanna industries or Avni mam.

Neil - Let them plan, we will show them that we are the horses of long race. ( determined )

John - Who is V.G?

Neil - Michael, I need information about this person. Find out all the people that are associated with Raghav, their names, details everything.

Michael - Yes sir.

While they were trying to find more clues, Khanna mansion was attacked by Raghav's men. Goons surrounded the entire mansion and started aiming on their targets while Neil's men were ready to attack back and positioned themselves accordingly.

Avni was studying in her room when loud sounds of gunshots broke her concentration and she curled within herself, trying to divert her attention from the currant situation. It wasn't new to her yet she wasn't used to this violence, all she wanted was Neil's comfort at this moment, his assurance that he won't let anything happen to her that he will protect her but everything seemed impossible at this moment. All she wanted was company of the man who loves her dearly and whose embrace is her elixir but the circumstances aren't favouring her at this moment so she thought about their moments and heaved a long sigh of relief feeling him close to her even when he was away. She knew that he won't let anything happen to her, she don't need his words, the mushy sentiments buried deep within her heart are enough to ensure her that he will always stand by her side like her support so she closed her eyes and buried her face into her knees, thinking about Neil and her nerves calmed down instantly. He influence her thoughts even when he's away from her, his smile calms her whenever she feels nervous, his arms are the source of nirvana, his talks are always hypnotizing. Whenever he's with her she feels as if a missing part of her life has returned back to her.

Avni - He is the one who completes me, he's the one who keeps me happy, he is the one whom I love. He is the one who is my better half. Finally, I realised that I love you Neil. I love you. ( whispers )

She was immersed within their memories when her door was knocked harshly. She gulps down in fear and moved towards the door.

Avni - Who is there? ( shaky voice )

She wraps her fingertips around the hem of her shirt, biting her lower lip nervously. The voice of the person calms her down as it belonged to one of the Neil's men.

Person - Avni mam we need to take you to the secret room for your protection.

Avni opened the door and found Sahil standing in front of her.

Avni - Where's Neil?

Sahil - We aren't able to contact him, you come with me as we can't risk your life.

Avni - Please contact Neil and tell him to comeback here.

Sahil - Our team is trying to contact him mam but we don't have much time to waste. Please come with me.

Avni nods and follows Sahil.

Avni - They haven't gained access inside the mansion which is a good thing.

Sahil - The entire team is trying to control the situation but we can't predict anything that's why we are keeping you at secret chamber.

Avni nods and follows silently. After a while she frowns as Sahil took wrong turn which leads to the backyard. The sound of guns was becoming louder as they were approaching the backyard.

Avni - Sahil you are taking the wrong way.

Sahil turns around smirking.

Sahil - No, Avni mam. We are going to secret room.

Avni - No, I know the way of secret chamber. What are you upto? ( sternly )

Sahil - Finally. ( sighs ) Now, I don't have to act innocently. Come with me or else you won't be privileged enough to survive.

Avni - How can you betray Neil? ( unbelievably )

Her gaze shifts on the other men who were fighting in the backyard, she was about to run there when Sahil pulls her away by pressing his hand hardly against her mouth. He released her and wrapped his hand around her throat harshly.

Sahil - You are going where you belong Avni. Don't make this difficult for me. ( sternly )

He releases her while she fell down breathing heavily. She was about to get up when she felt a slight sting on her arm and saw Sahil was injecting something into her veins, smirking evily. Her head was spinning until blackness surrounded her and she fell down.

Sahil picked her up and started walking towards the backyard. He hid behind the tree waiting for the perfect moment to get away with Avni. He sighs when he saw no way to escape and contact Akhil.

Sahil - Akhil, I'm having Avni but Neil's men are surrounding the backyard, how I will escape.

Akhil - Don't worry, I will distract them.

Akhil asked his men to attack the front of the house in order to divert Neil's men. His plan was successful and Sahil somehow managed to escape with an unconscious Avni. He went towards the trail of cars parked away from Neil's house and saw Juhi standing there along with Akhil.

Juhi - Good job, the boss will be happy with your work.

Akhil - You passed your first test, now you need to take Avni to our hideout safely and your loyalty for our gang will be proved.

Juhi - Boss needs us with him so we have to leave immediately. Make sure everything is carried out properly.

Sahil - Yes mam.

Juhi and Akhil left from there while Sahil placed Avni into the passenger seat and himself sat on the driver's seat. He started driving towards the location. After sometime, the car stopped abruptly. Sahil got out of the car and looked at the punctured wheel, he also saw a trail of nails and became suspicious. His questions were soon answered when four bikes racing at high speed came and surrounded him, the men wearing helmets pointed guns at Sahil while he gulps down in fear. A black car stopped in front of him and the doors of the car opened revealing the most feared mafia king, Sahil was already shivering in fear as he knew today is his last day.

Neil stood infront of him while some of his men stood beside him pointing guns at Sahil.

Neil's eyes were shooting daggers at Sahil, if looks could kill Sahil would be lying on the ground covered into his own bloody mess. Neil was angry due to disloyalty of his own gang member but his anger faded when he caught a small glimpse of unconscious Avni. He immediately went towards the car and pulled her out carefully. He pressed her dazed self against his chest and planted soft kisses on her head, assuring himself that she was fine, he carried her in bridal style, burying his face into crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet feminine scent that calms him down. He joins his forehead with hers and closes his eyes for few seconds pushing away the fear of losing her again. He planted a soft kiss on her forehead and moved towards his car. Neil positioned Avni on the backseat of the car and his face was again filled with anger. How can he spare the man who harmed his Avi? No one knows, what he was going through when he got to know that his Avni was in danger, how he was praying to god to keep her safe. Neil has lost his belief on god when his parents were snatched away from him at a tender age but now he was thanking him for sending Avni into his life, she has filled his life with endless happiness and now he can't afford to loose her at any cost. She's his life for god sake, he would kill anyone who tries to harm his Avi.

He again stood in front of Sahil who was sweating profusely.

Neil - Michael, guard Avni.

Michael - Yes sir.

Michael stood beside the car for keeping a check on Avni while Neil sat on the bonnet of the car.

Neil - Time for the first dose.

All the men pulled out their weapons except guns and started beating Sahil, he was pleading for mercy but Neil was ruthless when it came to his enemies. After few minutes he asked his men to stop and faced Sahil who was hissing in pain, his body was full of bruises.

Neil - I want to kill you immediately and be with my Avi but at the same time I can't let you die without answering your questions. I know you must be thinking how I reached you? Let me tell you my Avi is innocent but at the same time she's very sensible. ( smirks )

Sahil looked confuse so Neil started to narrate whole incident.

Flashback

When Avni heard the loud knocking on her door, she immediately pulled out the watch given by Neil from the drawer. She remembered Neil's words when he gave her this watch after he rescued her from Raghav's clutches.

Neil - Avi, I want you to keep this watch for emergency purpose. It's a way of our communication.

Avni - What do you mean?

Neil - Never trust anyone easily Avi, we live in an environment where anyone can back stab us so we need to stay in touch with each other. Whenever, I'm out of house and some attack happens I want you to wear this watch and press this green button, it is connected with my watch so it will alert me that something is happening and I can also track your location. Sometimes, our enemies can enter our house disguised as my men or sometimes my own gang members can betray us so we need to take all necessary precautions.

Avni nods and takes the watch from him.

After remembering his words, she wore the watch and pressed the button alerting Neil. As soon as Neil received her signal, he left the farmhouse along with his men and started tracking Avni's location.

Michael received a call from one of the gang member and instructed him few things.

Michael - Raghav's men have attacked our house, they have already transferred Avni mam into the safe room.

Neil - They are lying. According to the tracker, Avni is approaching backyard of our house.

Michael - I will ask them who went to escort her.

Neil nods and asks the driver to increase the speed.

Michael - Sir, Sahil is with Avni mam.

Neil - I really hope Sahil isn't double crossing me cos their location is near backyard, secret chamber is in opposite direction so why the hell he's taking her there?

Michael - Sir, shall I send our men to their location?

Neil - No, if he's betraying us then we have to use element of surprise. Moreover, if we send other men then Raghav's men may gain access to the mansion. We will handle Sahil in our own way.

After sometime

Neil - Sahil is playing game.

Michael - Yes sir, he's missing from the mansion along with Avni mam.

Neil - He's going away from mansion along with Avi. I know one shortcut, we will surround him.

All the men started discussing the plan and laid a trap for Sahil.

Flashback ends

Neil - Before I kill you, I want to know the location of their hideout.

Sahil remain quite.

Neil - Reveal it and I will give you an easy death.

Sahil - The address is saved on my mobile. ( weakly )

As soon as the words left his mouth, Neil shot him on his head.

Neil - Michael, get everything cleaned up here. I will take Avni back.

Michael - Yes sir.

Neil sat on the back seat and adjust Avni within his lap. The driver started driving back to mansion while Neil was adoring Avni. He caressed her cheeks tenderly and hugs her more tightly.

After they reached home, Neil made her lie down on his bed and asked doctor to examine her.

Doctor - She's unconscious Mr. Khanna, she will wake up in morning. Rest everything is fine.

Neil - Are you sure?

Doctor - Yes sir.

Neil nods and doctor left from there.

Neil sat beside sleeping Avni and held her hand into his. He pressed his lips against her knuckles and heaves a sigh of relief.

Neil - You know babygirl, today I again felt that I would loose you. You know how much this thought kills me? Please be with me forever. I know, I'm asking for something that's impossible. After finishing Raghav's chapter, you will leave me. You will find someone better than me who will care for you, love you and treat you much better. Maybe, you will forget me one day, I will only exist in your blurry memories but I will cherish all this time when we were together, you are like the brightness that conquers my darkness and makes me feel better but I can't have you with me forever. Always remember, you are my first and last love and when you will leave me I will live with your memories. ( smiles sadly )

He plants a soft kiss on her cheek and covered her with a duvet. He positioned himself beside her and took her into his arms shielding her from all the bad events that happened today and preserving her into his comforting warmth. As if, Avni's wish of being into his embrace after a tiring day is finally granted. His heart is elated with the fact that he finally got a beautiful ending to his lethargic and irritating day. He snuggles closer to her and his eyes shut close after inhaling her enchanting scent, his tensed muscles releaxed finally and he drowned himself into the world of dreams.

》》》》》》》

Morning time

Avni woke up from her deep slumber and rubs her eyes due to sudden light. She stretches her arms and looks around the familiar room.

Avni - Neil's room. ( whispers )

She frowns in confusion, all she remembered was drowning in darkness yesterday. The flashes of yesterday's terrible events started playing in her head and she came to the conclusion that Neil saved her yet again. A small smile tugged on her lips and she looks around one more time in order to find him.

Avni - Where is he?

As if sensing her eagerness, the door flung open and Neil came inside with a tray filled with Avni's favourite food. He smiles at her and sat beside her after placing the tray on the coffee table.

Neil - So, you are finally awake.

Avni smiles at him.

Neil - Go and freshen up, after that we will have breakfast together.

Avni nods and went inside the washroom.

Neil went to the balcony and arranged the entire food on the table. After sometime, Avni came out and moved towards the balcony when she didn't find him in the room.

Neil - Welcome babygirl. ( smiles )

Avni blushes slightly and sat beside him on the chair.

Neil - What do you want to have?

Avni - Pancakes. ( smiles )

Neil - Here you go.

He forward her the plate containing her favourite pancakes and himself pour some food into his own plate. They both were eating in comfortable silence and were stealing occasional glances on each other.

Neil - Let's go out after we finish our breakfast.

Avni - Where? ( raising her eyebrows )

Neil - Wait for sometime. ( winks at her )

Avni pouts while Neil giggles.
