Chapter 27

All night Kali has been waiting for the meeting with "O" and now finally the time has come. Going by "O's" reputation it wasn't easy to secure an appointment especially when Kali was not a person from Mumbai. At first Kali was a bit weary but then Khanna had told him that "O" knows of how lucrative his business in Barielly was which had apparently caught "O's" attention. Thirty minutes before the designated time he was instructed that someone will come to lead him to "O's" private mansion. Kali had previously sent his men to scope out the place but the security was so tight that his attempts were futile. Being that Kali didn't know "O" he had requested to be able to bring four of his top men as escorts. When Khanna told Om about the request he didn't expect anything less from this old man. Lately Om's eyes grew colder every-time Kali's name was mentioned "He can bring his entire entourage and the outcome would be the same."

Om commanded Khanna to personally lead Kali to the estate and keep an eye out for any suspicious activity because one can't be too careful when dealing with someone who had no morals. Om knew Kali was desperate but he wasn't stupid. Seeing the tall man arrive Kali hurriedly gather his men so that they could be on their way. As Khanna escorted them to a privately own vehicle he made sure to remember in detail how many weapons each men were carrying because tonight there was no room for error. Kali sees Khanna's observing them "Is there a problem?" Khanna shakes his head "This is my job. The safety of my boss is my priority." Kali liked how straight forward Khanna was and felt that he would have instructed his men to do the same if he was "O".

Kali: If you ever feel like a change of scenery there is always a place for men like you with me.

Khanna chuckles: My boss does not keep anyone who are not loyal to him. There is only one way to leave "O" and that is death. Enough talk Mr. Thakur...my boss does not like to wait. Don't blame him if he decides to not meet you ever again if you are even one minute late.

Kali didn't like being in Mumbai. He was never use to feeling like a small fish in this big city. He couldn't wait to exact his revenge and return to Bareilly where he is king. His plans of wanting to expand his business here was not as easy as he first had thought. Every-time he tried to lay down roots a problem would coincidently arise that prevent him to do so. Kali was starting to think that someone powerful in Mumbai was blocking him. Not knowing all the powerful players Kali decided that it was best to just stick to his business in Bareilly. This morning he tried calling his brother Veer to see how things were going but he couldn't get a hold of him. But knowing his brother's love for women Kali figured he was once again in a brothel enjoying himself never did it ever occur to him that something bad would ever happen to Veer because in Bareilly they were untouchable.

During the drive there Kali was extremely impressed with the security "O" had in place only then did he fully understand why his men were unable to penetrate even the first layer that was set in place. Kali was getting even more excited than before. He truly believed that this time he has successfully found the right person to help him get rid of Tej and Gauri. Looking at his own reflection against the car mirror it was as if looking at the devil himself. The burnt scars on his face and body was a constant reminder of how much hatred he had for Tej and his daughter. Clenching his fists to control his desires he could already taste the Sharma's blood in his mouth and just imagining the father daughter falling into his hands was enough for Kali to offer "O" a large portion of his business in Bareilly. And if things go smoothly he might even get a chance to become closer to "O" and maybe use the man to help him set roots down in Mumbai. Kali was already starting to grow greedy and planning out ways to befriend the man tonight and when the time was right he would then stab him in the back and take over his empire himself. He thought what he had in Bareilly was enough but when he saw the kind of power "O" yielded he wanted it all for himself.

When they finally arrived Khanna had escorted them to a large private room where only candles was the source of light. With high vaulted ceilings and dark curtains covering the large windows the only thing anyone could hear were the sounds of their footsteps. Sitting at the center of a table Om and Gauri was waiting patiently for Kali to arrive. They had even prepared some fruits, bread and wine as refreshments. As Khanna gestured Kali to sit down as he retreated to stand behind Kali's men and wait for Om's signal to strike. Usually Kali would have noticed Khanna's position as somewhat suspicious but his main focus right now was "O" who had on a silver lion shaped masked and because of the candles the slight flickering of the flame against the mask made Om's eyes glimmer as if there were spits of fire within them. Om was leaning back on his chair staring at the man of the hour "Welcome Mr. Thakur. I hear you have gone to great lengths to meet me." Looking at "O" and hearing his voice Kali could not believe that someone so young could hold so much power. "Yes. I am here to buy your services." Gauri started to laugh softly under her breath as if taunting Kali "Buy our services? Do you think your money is enough?" The one thing Kali hated was being ridiculed by a woman "And may I ask who are you?"

Om hooked up his lips as he grabbed his wife's hand "This is Mrs. O."

I share everything with her even my business dealings...is that a problem Mr. Thakur?" This opportunity was too hard to come by so Kali could only endure the insult and try to move things along. "I have no problems."

Om: Good. Have some wine and fruit I especially ordered it for our meeting tonight. My wife here believes we should always be hospitable to our clients.

Kali takes a sip of the expensive red wine and held off on the platter of fruit because he didn't want to bother taking the knife offered to cut it. "Why don't you have your servants cut the fruits before offering it up to your guests?"

Gauri puts down her glass of wine and let out a small laugh once again angering Kali "Fruits taste best when freshly cut and eaten right away. I only allow the best here Mr. Thakur. Are you incapable of cutting your own fruit?" Kali did not want to waste time conversing with a woman about fruits so gritting his teeth he turns to Om "Mr. "O" I would like to discuss my matters now.

Om lets out a sigh "If Mr. Thakur has no interest in enjoying what my wife has to offer then you can wait till we are done." Kali's temper was about to explode as the couple proceeded to feed each other fruits and happily drink their wine. When Gauri saw the large vein pulsing on Kali's forehead she couldn't help but smile every time their eyes met. She could tell he wanted to skin her alive at this point. "Honey...I think we shouldn't let our guest wait any longer and besides I would like to get this over with." Om gently kisses his wife's hand "Whatever you say Dear." When talking to his wife his eyes and voice was as gentle as an autumn breeze where as when he shift his focus to Kali his gaze piercing through the mask was cold as death's grip on one's soul. "So tell me what is it that you are asking of me and in return what can you offer me?"

Kali was waiting for this moment all night long "I want you to bring Tej and Gauri Sharma to me! I don't need them to be in one piece either just alive is enough. And name your price I am sure we can work something out Mr. "O" I hear you are interested in my business in Bareilly...if you want we can strike up some kind of partnership. Tapping his index finger slowly on the table as he stares are Kali "Tell me first what you intend to do to them? I don't like leaving traces behind." Kali's eyes widen as his lips curled up "Don't you worry...there will be no traces. I intend to inflict the most pain before sending them to hell...For Tej who stole my woman I will make him watch as I take his daughter to become mine! I will let him hear her screams all night long and when I am done it will be my brothers turn. And I assure you after that they both will not see the light of day. So no need to worry about it bein....." before Kali could finish his sentence Om had stood up and plunged a knife through Kali's right hand. The strike was so fast that Kali had no time to react by the time his men saw what happened Khanna has already shot all four in the back of the head. Seeing four of his men fall down Kali tried to use his left hand to grab his gun but Om saw through him. Grabbing the back of his head Om shoved Kali's face into the hard wooden table breaking his nose at the same time twisting the knife already deep into his hand. Kali let out a painful cry "AHHHH!!! You F@#King B@#!@rd!" Taking off his mask and grabbing Kali by the throat "You think I would let you touch my WIFE!" Still trying to use his left hand to reach for his gun when out of nowhere he could see a knife coming at him and striking his left shoulder. Gauri felt the blade pierce through the flesh and as she used her entire body to push it in further she whispered in Kali's ear "It's my turn now." Slowly taking off her black mask to smile down on a bloody faced Kali Gauri stood back and laughed so loud that it filled the entire room. "You came here with the intention of killing me and my father not knowing you were stepping into your own grave. And yet you were brave enough to utter such words in front of my husband....at first we just wanted to wait for the drug to kick in but you just had to anger him...." Kali was in pain but at the same time his body was losing its strength and his vision was starting to blur "Drug??!!"

Gauri: The wine.

Kali was struggling to stay conscious as he mumbled "What do you want!!" but as much as he pleaded no one answer came as his eyes slowly closes. Seeing the drug had taken effect Gauri comes over to Om "Dear Husband...this was not part of the plan." Om takes a white dinner napkin to wipe his bloody hands "How can I just let him say those things and do nothing? If it wasn't for you I would have plunged that knife into his heart Dear Wife."

Om signals to Khanna "Drag him down to the basement and chain him up...he should wake in an hour."

Gauri looks at Om "No. We will force him to wake in 15 minutes no need to let him rest. Phase two is waiting for him." Seeing his wife so excited to end things he could only pamper her and let things go her way. "Then shall we go to the basement?" Reaching out for her hand Om slowly escorted his wife to the cold basement "I hope this is the only time you would use this basement...a place like this is too dirty for your eyes." Gauri smiles gently at her caring husband "I hope so too. I will leave all the dirty work to you in the future." Om's lips hooked up hearing his wife's words "Well lets have some more fun."
