The knock on the door came soon than she anticipated as Abirami opened the door to see Sanskar standing beside Swara whose face was covered in mask and she realized it was to protect her identity considering there were about million reporters outside the house once the hostage situation reached the news.
Well she tipped them off after all she wanted this day to be recorded to last forever. While she starred down at the man she would do anything for, she expected him to fight her once she was close to him but unlike her poor knocked out brother , Sanskar was aware of her diabolical brain. So he simply entered the house with the girl he loves.
And the said girl rushed to help Ashwini leaving Abirami alone with Sanskar, this was supposed to be the time she spoke something witty or clever but she was unable to convey anything as she starred at him face to face after a long time .
There was no love , attraction or simply curiosity in his face as she had expected when she was naive , his face was a mask of his own and she realized he wasn't going to let her see the anger or hatred in his face either .
" Oh come inside Sanskar , no need for formalities between us , I wish there was no bloodshed to get you here but then again life never does go the way we want but irrespective of the circumstances , I am glad to have you on my home " Abirami finally spoke up in an attempt to hear his voice and thoughts but his silence had been her answer .
" Oh I get it , you are here because I threatened to kill my siblings but you won't talk with him, is that to be my punishment. Don't you see the extent I could go for you , fine I will make a compromise for each hour ,you remain pleasant towards me and not treat me as murderer , I will let one of my siblings walk away , starting with Ashwini " Abirami answered back with what she hoped was a pleasant smile on her face.
" Send Ashwini and Swara out now then we have a deal " Sanskar spoke up , his first words to her and she would have been delighted to heed to him if not for the jealousy that rose through her at his protectiveness for Swara, the girl who refused to die and brought this entire thing about making her out to be Sanskar's enemy.
"Ashwini leaves but Swara stays , I feel like I never gotten to know her better , and frankly it was your Swara who traded your presence here for Ashwini to get medical treatment and yet you are still too protective of her " Abirami lashed back and hated that her voice lost the calm and the anger she held back reflected in those words.
And she hated it more when Sanskar looked back at Swara instead who nodded her head in answer as if she gets to make the decision on Sanskar's behalf as well as she gets to decide on his actions in the house today .
It was supposed to be about Sanskar and Abirami , not her and yet she refuse to let her leave this room , maybe she would feel better if she tied Swara to the chair along with her siblings but she knew Sanskar won't allow it , a pity indeed.
And so she graciously allowed Ashwini to be wheeled out as she waited for her Sanskar in the dining room after leaving Ashwini in the door step and calling Pradeep to take over .
While Sanskar was occupied with moving Ashwini , his Swara had been busy trying to search the room to find his remaining siblings as if Abirami would be fool enough to let two people inside her house and wander around without the ability to control them.
" Oh cease your searches Swara and come talk with me . The door you need is locked away and only I hold the key to open it and if by chance something happens to me and if you try to open it without me then be prepared to be blown to pieces along with my siblings and Sanskar " Abirami shouted when Swara had been gone too long for her comfort . She didn't want to get blown up either along with the rest of them .
"You already know that don't you Sanskar, is that why you haven't tried to overpower me the moment you stepped inside , after all you did write it in your book and I had to modify few aspects to make sure my plans succeeds unlike the Villain in your book " Abirami answered back once Sanskar returned and Swara who had been stealthily searching also returned after hearing about the blown to pieces threat probably.
Abirami had to credit the girl for walking around effortlessly in those high heels of her without making sound. Who wears heels to an hostage situation ,the girl must be half mad like Abirami after all .
********************
Sanskar held his silence but his mind was overworking by every second he stood in that house, he had been surprised when Abirami let them inside without a gun pointed towards them and frankly he could have overpowered her but somehow he knew her looking quite unarmed meant she had something up her sleeves.
And he has been right , she had rigged the door with some code and possibly explosives as well. His only hope had been that she was forced to come up with this plan in less time and it would mean there got to be a loophole or something that he can use without harming anymore lives.
Sanskar had been frankly relieved when Ashwini was wheeled out once Aandhi did her first aid and the rest was upto the doctors and was thankful that Pradeep had called Ambulance in advance and waiting in case of emergency like this one.
If only she let Aandhi walk out with Ashwini as well , Abirami hadn't yet noticed that he brought Aandhi instead of Swara , the mask had covered the face well enough still if one looked closely it won't hold for longer.
When the call ended and Abirami demanded Swara to come with him , he said No and he had been prepared to argue with her because his foremost selfish thought had been if anything happened to him and Swara , his daughter would lose almost three of her parents and he couldn't as a father let that happen .
He had been prepared to risk his life to save innocents but not his Swara and she knew it and was prepared to argue with him until Aandhi stepped in and claimed she is a doctor too and she should be the one who goes with him.
"She will just shot you as well , she wanted me to come " Swara argued back.
" She could shoot all of us , she is mad Swara , she might kill you the moment you enter the house as well but I can't stay behind while you risk your life , Sanskar is right , Asha needs her parent and I have been a parents to my siblings all this awhile and I won't stay on the sidelines when one of them is dying before my eyes , I will go and treat Ashwini ,if Abirami shot me instead then at least I did something then covering in fear " Aandhi replied back, they were running out of time to argue and Sanskar had to admit he was selfish when he agreed to take Aandhi instead of Swara.
He had apologized profusely as much as possible while they were on the way and so when Abirami said she will send Ashwini out , he played out the card for asking Aandhi to leave to ensure she was safe .
Sanskar couldn't let anyone die on his watch and the longer Aandhi stays inside , the easier her identity will be revealed . But it backfired because he wasn't thinking straight which meant Abirami would refuse his suggestion , the only silver lining had been that so far Ashwini had managed to leave the house and he will play her game if it means one innocent gets to walk out of the house with out getting killed.
"So now that I had agreed to your demand ,how about you say something than glowering at me , remember if you didn't cooperate , I will have to blow us all to pieces " Abirami answered back at his silence and he knew it wasn't an empty threat .
If there is a limit for madness to make sense , Abirmai had already crossed that point that reasoning with her isn't going to work anymore than trying to overpower her.
Sanskar needed time to learn more about what cooking on her mind but he hadn't gotten much time left , Pradeep has indicated if there was no contact from either Abirami or Sanskar in the next two hour , he would swarm in with the officers .
The fact Ashwini was sent out may get him some time off but not much longer.
" What do you want me to say ?" Sanskar asked instead anything to fill the silence.
"Well, I see that I have to keep the conversation going , Fine I will ask you the questions and you can just answer them , you can do that much at least, but first of all where is my hospitality take a seat both of you , this is going to be a long night " Abirami spoke up as she got herself seated first and waited for them to sit together .
Aandhi had chosen the farthest seating place from Abirmai to avoid letting her get a good look at her face . But if it raised any suspicion , Abirami didn't let it show , while Sanskar took the seat opposite to her .
"The thing you can't forgive the most, the fact I killed Sakshi or the fact I tried to kill Swara ?" Abirami asked first as if it was normal conversation.
" The fact you just shot your sister and still think there is forgiveness to be earned from me " Sanskar answered back , keeping his opinion and talking nicely won't work . He had to be honest enough .
"Yeah , just like I thought. But Sanskar you seem to be more upset about my sister than my brother , is it because you understand my need to revenge against my brother. ? So in a way revenge is acceptable and if so it was how all it started Sakshi took something away from me , I treasured the most and so I killed her , to have a chance to live a life with you but that girl stole the chance and so yes I tried to kill her as well " Abirami spoke up as if her actions could be justifiable.
"You killed my wife , You tried to kill my Shona , You made me live like an recluse for years just to keep my daughter away from you , you took away my passion to write when you started to kill people with my words, but even then I wouldn't kill you because no one has the right to take another life. Not in the name of revenge , not in the name of love or not even in the name of justice " Sanskar answered back because yes Sanskar would pull the trigger against her, if it came down to that but he wasn't foolishly consumed by revenge that he would take a life even if it belonged to a ruthless monster like the one before him .
" Well what about you Shona , Would you kill me for killing your parents ? " Abirami turned towards Aandhi and Sanskar knew he pushed her to retaliate against Swara ,since Abirami knew it was his weakness but it wasn't Swara who was seated in that room with her , it was Aandhi and when there had been silence from her side .
Sanskar couldn't prevent the revelation even if he tried as Abirami began to notice the difference.
" You aren't Swara are you ? , Damn I should have known given you used to be someone who cursed me even when death was right before your eyes and your silence should have been a clue enough and then there was the height , here I was thinking you were foolish to walk on the heels but you aren't foolish it was me , the clueless one who failed to greet my guest by her name .
And Sanskar, won't you introduce her . I would have thought of her to be a Police office if not for the fact she knew how to tend Ashwini , so a doctor or a nurse who is brave enough not only to walk inside the house with a threat to her life but tried to help my siblings escape and I would like to meet the paragon first , remove the mask please , I had been a fool not to insist it at first " Abirami spoke up , her voice was still calm but Sanskar heard the anger in them as he knew she won't like to be blindsided .
The mask had been the plan to only get Aandhi inside first , he never expected it remain this long but now it got Abirami more angry because she had been blindsided for almost an hour about the stranger in the house .
But nothing could prevent the gasp of surprise from her when Aandhi removed the mask to show her face , looking directly at her sister with a smile that Sanskar knew was forced but he had to admire Aandhi steel of mindset as she greeted her sister.
" Hello Sister , Well since Swara isn't here , let me answer it for you . Yes , I would kill you to save our family from you . Because unlike Sanskar or Swara , I just found out I am not a very forgiving person when my family is being in danger " Aandhi spoke up and just like that Sanskar knew the first crack happened in Abirami hasty plan . And he had to hope it was enough to get them all out safe .
**********************
" You are not going inside Pradeep Bhai " Swara shouted at the unyielding look in her brother face .
" It been three hours Swara , Three hours of silence and we can't wait any longer not without a line of communication anything to hold of my superiors . Sanskar and Aandhi are civilians not equipped to handle the hostage situation . Sending them inside will like cost me my job but it out of my hands now . We are going inside in ten minutes " Pradeep answered back leaving her frustrated.
Swara knew they were taking a risk by sending Aandhi instead of her , but when Sanskar pleaded that Asha needed her , Swara couldn't fight him on it. Already Laksh and Ragini are booking flights for Swara and Asha in case things go terribly wrong tonight .
The plan was to help Swara and Asha escape for the time being but for the moment she was as close as possible to Sanskar , standing in one of the police Van arguing with Pradeep bhai.
It was the compromise she agreed upon that Swara would wait just outside in case Abirami demanded her entry while threatening Sanskar's life. A part of the plan had been to leave or run away and another part of the plan to stay and fight , but honestly standing in silence for three hours got on to all of their nerves.
Swara knew that there is no way Aandhi could remain unrecognized for this long and if so what was Abirami reaction to her sister being alive or in Swara place, the only good thing had been Ashwini was getting her surgery and not inside the house as hostage , Adharsh Bhai went with her as he didn't want her to be alone while Sakshi parents and the rest of her family are staying in the house .
So she didn't want to barge inside the house without an idea of what going inside but she knew there was no other way , not when there was not a single hint of communication from inside the house.
" You stay in the Van Swara and locked it inside , we are going in blind and that is not a good idea but my superiors are thinking one mad women with a gun which is why I fear they are underestimating her " Pradeep bhai spoke up as he stepped out of the Van probably marching towards the rescue as well as risking his life.
" Please stay safe " Swara pleaded as she waited in her Van all alone wondering if the night will ever end or will it ever let her loved ones live one more day .
P.S :" That it for now , So sorry about the delay , just one more part which will be the final one as far as I Planned , hopefully will be able to update it soon . Let me know your thoughts and feedbacks , Hit the votes if you liked it "
