{PLEASE IGNORE THE SPELLING AND THE GRAMMAR MISTAKES}

*_*_*_*_*_*

Naveen hid behind a pillar hearing the voices of two men. He was scared of these voices as those men had already bullied him some time ago. Santu's eyes fell on those two persons whose backs were facing her. She was about to ask the helf. But she stopped as soon as she listened to their talks.

A man asked, "Preet, maal toh barabar hain naa..?"

Preet smiled, "Tujhe pata hain Sujeet ki main ek dum nakki wali deal karta hoon. Ekdum barabar ka maal hain. Aur ekdum top quality ka."

They gave hi-fi to each other smiling. Sujeet said, "Aaj toh maza aanewala hain. Kuch students to khud se paise dekar iss drugs ko lene ke liye taiyyar hain. Aur jo nahi lenge, usse hum apne tarike se nashedi bana denge."

"Baat toh sahi hain. Iss liye toh isko maal kehte hain. Badi ki khatarnaak aur addictive cheez hain yeh. Bas ek baar saare students isko chakle... Apne aap iske gulaam ban jaayenge. Aur humare liye naye costomers bhi yeh ban jaayenge." Preet laughed.

"Haan... Aur itna hi nahi, ek baar iski aadat toh lag jaane do. Apna paisa toh yeh hume de denge hi. Phir jab paise khatam ho jaayenge tab yeh log isko paane ke liye kuch bhi karenge." Sujeet replied.

Preet completed his sentence, "Aur tab hum in logon se jo chahe karwayenge. Chahe woh chori ho, robbery ho, ya phir kidnapping" They both laughed loudly.

Hearing all this, the bag of flute and the mouth organ fell from Santu's hand. Sujeet and Preet looked back. They saw her. She put her hands on her mouth. Her body was sweating. She was shivering in fear. They became angry. 

"Kaun ho tum?" Sujeet and Preet shouted in union. 

Santu didn't say anything but tried to run from there as she was very scared of them. They both ran behind her. Soon, they overtook her. She stopped and tried to run back. But this time they both caught her. Naveen was seeing all this.

She said while panicking, "Dekho, maine kuch nahi dekha... Mujhe kuch nahi pata. Mujhe jaane do. Main toh yanha ki hoon bhi nahi."

"Agar tune kuch nahi dekha aur tujhe kuch nahi pata toh hume dekhkar bhag kyun rahi tu?"  Preet angrily said roughly holding her upper arm. 

Sujeet said, "Isne humari saari baatein sun li hain. Yeh humare liye bahut bada khatra ban sakti hain. Isko chhodna humare liye sahi nahi hoga."

"Dekhiye, please mujhe jaane dijiye. Maine kaha naa maine kuch nahi dekha... Aur maine kuch suna bhi nahi. Please mujhe jaane do, main kisi ko kuch nahi bataungi." Santu begged while crying.

"CHUP" Preet shouted and added, "Pagal samajhkar rakha hain hume. Humari baatein sunkar galti toh tune kardi hain. Aur iss galti ki saza bhi bhugtni padegi tujhe. Tujhe kya lagta hain, tu gidgidayegi aur hum tujhe jaane denge?"

Santu tried to gather some courage and said, "Agar... Agar tum dono ne mujhe jaane nahi diya toh... toh main... main sabko bata dungi. Police ko bhi... Tum log jo bhi kar rahe ho woh sahi nahi hain. Gair kanooni hain. Galat hain. Iska anjaam bhi galat hi hoga."

The men laughed and Sujeet said, "Tu humari nahi, apne anjaam ki fikar kar. Tujhe bachaane ke liye koi nahi aanewala yanha par."

Preet and Sujeet looked at each other with smirks on their faces. They looked at Santu with eyes of mystery. They scanned Santu head to toe. Her heartbeat got faster. She was scared by her core. For her, her life was about to end on a tragic note. Tears made a path from her eyes. She was trying very hard to come out of the grip which those morons had made around her hands. 

Preet angrily dragged a little and pressed her back to the tree very hard. She shouted in pain but the didn't stop struggling to push him. Sujeet looked here and there and found an old rope on the ground. He quickly took it and they tried to tie Santu. Her hopes were dying inside her but she still continued to struggle. She pushed a little roughly to them. They became angry and Sujeet slapped her. She fell to the ground. Preet held her wrist and made her stand. He too slapped her and again pressed her back to the tree. They quickly tied her to the tree with that rope. 

She was shouting at them, cursing them, struggling to get free, begging them, and doing everything which she could think of at that time. 

"Chup" Sujeet pressed her teeth and continued, "Yeh chillane se kuch nahi hoga. Teri aawaz kisi tak nahi pahunchegi."

"Kyun ki sab andar function enjoy kar rahe hain. Aur hum yanha enjoy karenge" Preet said while leaning to her neck.

She closed her in disgust. Naveen wanted to go there and stop them. But he was so scared of both of them as they both had already harassed him. He couldn't do anything apart from blaming himself to watch this sight helplessly. 

Santu pressed her teeth and said in anger, "Tumhe kya lagta hain...? Aisa karne ke baad tum bach jaaoge? Agar tum dono ne mere saath kuch bhi karne ki koshish ki toh mere bhaiyya tumhe chhodenge nahi. Tum soch bhi nahi sakte ki tum dono ke saath kya hoga."

Preet pressed her jaw in his palm. She hissed in pain. He said, "Tera bhai hoga koi angry young fatichar man. Par tu nahi jaanti ki hum dono kiske bhai hain. Police kya? Parliament tak unki pahunch hain. Yeh dhamki dena band kar."

Again he was about to touch her sensually, but Sujeet put his hand on his shoulder. He said, "Itna bhi kya utawlapan, Preet. Dekh humare paas philhaal do do maal hain. Ek humari jeb mein. Aur ek humare saamne. Tujhe nahi lagta ki agar yeh do maal ek saath mil jaaye toh maza duguna ho jaayega. Pehle iss maal ko uss maal se milate hain. Phir iske maze le lenge."

They both smiled evilly. One of them took a drug pocket from his pant's pocket. 

"Mujhe jaane do please," Santu said with tears. 

"Abhi tak toh humne kuch kiya hi nahi, young lady" They said smiling. 

She shouted in pain, anger, and with tears in her eyes, "Tum sahi nahi kar raho. Iski saza tum dono ko zaroor milegi."

Sujeet held her face in his hand angrily. Preet opened the packet. Both of them tried to open her mouth to put the drugs into her mouth. She tried very hard to not open her mouth. She fought with all her efforts. But the two devils overpowered her and forcefully put all the drugs into her mouth. She coughed badly. They did it again. She was coughing so badly that some drops. Slowly blood started to come out of her nose. She was loosing her senses. They laughed.

Naveen clenched his fits in anger and as well as in fear. He was cursing himself to couldn't do anything to save her. 

Then, Sujeet pressed Santu's cheeks in his palm making her pout. In that state also her cuteness and beauty were overshadowing everything around there.

"Oye..." A strong male voice echoed there making Sujeet stop to kiss her. It was Neil holding a cell phone in his hand. He angrily glared at them. They both got scared. Neil started to run to them. 

"Abey yeh kaun hain? Sujeet asked

"Koi bhi ho, abhi bhag yanha se..." Preet said while running. Sujeet ran behind him. 

Neil first tried to catch them but quickly his attention fell on Santu. He was so afraid to see her in this condition. He quickly untie her and took her to the college picking her in his arms. Then, Anubhav, Karishma took her to the hospital. Naveen was seeing all this in tears.

Haseena stumbles and collides with the wall as soon as Pushpa ji narrates her what Naveen had told them in the hospital. A lone tear falls from her eye. Pushpa ji is blankly staring at her. Haseena sits on her knees. She is not in any sense to speak anything. Santu has gone through this. The innocent girl has suffered a lot without any mistake of her. The cute and smiling face of Santu is flashing in front of her eyes. Yes, Haseena always knows that there is something big reason behind this but she doesn't even imagine in her dream also that this would have happened in Santu's life. 

"Yanha se hum sabki zindagi ne ek nayi aur buri karwat li. Khas kar ke Anu ke... Iske aage jaanti ho kya hua?" Pushpa ji blankly asks to Haseena.

Haseena looks at her with tearful eyes.
