Manvi's POV

I was waiting for Azad to return, it has been a long time since he had left. My delivery date was coming near, and before that, I must find Aarav.

Azad returned, I had no courage to see his disheartened face again. I did not even turn towards him.

He spoke something, to which I was left surprised. I turned back and asked again "what??"

"I found him.." Azad replied.

Tears of happiness brimmed down my eyes, finally my efforts paid off. I questioned him "how is he?? Is he fine?"

I noticed his tensed face and understood, he is not fine. He must be in a miserable condition. He is a prisoner here and they must be torturing him every single day.

"it is not easy to get him out from there, very tight security" Azad exclaimed.

"But we must do something," I said, I was thoughtful. How to make his escape from that jail?

I remembered watching a movie and smiled to myself. I told him the plan, he was shocked.

"Manvi this is not a movie, it's reality" he exclaimed.

I know it is reality "do we have any other choice?" I asked.

He denied and agreed to my plan. He began to do his work and hacked a few computers. After 5 hours, he took me to the market.

I was hell scared, but I did not let it appear on my face. I had entered into the place where a normal person would don't even dare to go. This place was filled with criminals, terrorists. I was having goosebumps but I kept a hand on my belly and it helped me boost my strength.

Then he took me upstairs to a room, he greeted people.

Azad spoke "I hacked your computer and have all the details of your people hiding in Kashmir near Indian border will be emailed to Indian government your gang will be finished"

The man was scared, few people pointed the gun towards him and he showed his mobile "I will press if I die then you all will be killed too"

He sighed, and asked, "what do you want?"

"Blast the jail and get a prisoner out.." I exclaimed.

The man was left shocked, I said in a confident tone "It is a good deal, you get my husband out we will give you the Pendrive"

"no.. we will die we can't do that" his man spoke.

"but if we don't do it.. then all our man will be killed," The mastermind said.

"We should help her, she is pregnant," a man said bein sympathetic towards me.

The man passed me look and agreed "will do.. for your child"

A smile appeared on my face. I had become a bad citizen of my country within a month, I crossed the border without a visa and then I was taking an illegal way to get him out. But, they had left me with no choice.

Every day, I was fooled and shown a new story. Now, I won't step back. I am just a few miles away from him. Aarav will go back home with me.

He carried bomb and guns with him, I was in between criminals. There was a time when I use to hate all this. I even scared of police officers with the gun and today, I am surrounded by different weapons.

It is love and memories of Aarav which made me stronger and courage. Not only that, I had already become a mother and my child is with me. We both are fighting the battle to reach Aarav by hook or by crook.

Azad spoke "it is dangerous.. wait here"

I denied and said "No.. I will come along" as I want to see Aarav desperately can't trust these criminals they might kill him. There has always been a risk in every step I took, now I know how to tackle with all.

He took me with him and we started our journey to reach the jail. I know, I am sinning but God will forgive me because it is safe a life.

As soon as I reached the jail, I felt his presence. I could feel, he near me. They covered their faces and jumped off the van, Azad went with them.

They fixed a few bombs on the entrance and one wall. I closed my ears and after a minute, the bomb exploded. The sound was enough to horrify me. The firing started, I saw 8 of them firing with the police officers and Azad managed to enter into the jail.

Aarav's POV

I felt a presence around me, the very known presence. Is Manvi here? No, it is all my illusion. I have been always thinking about her that is why sometimes I feel she is with me.

Suddenly I heard a loud exploding sound, there was a hustle in the prison. All officers were running with guns, towards the entrance.

Then, a man came in front of my cell. I recognised him, he was the same postman. He had an axe in his hand and he broke the lock of my cell. He then tried to break the chains on my legs and hands.

I opened my mouth to ask him something, but he said: "later.."

I saw an officer entering it, I gave him a kick with my leg with my full force. I was a trained officer, and know exactly where to attack even after getting wounded.

He smiled "Thank you for saving me"

He then picked me up, my body jerked as my shoulders were dislocated. I pointed towards the bag, he took the bag and began to take me out. Two unknown men covered us with the gun, Azad was shot on his shoulder. He shouted in pain..

I missed my balance as he moved. The other man held me and began to take me out. Azad was lying down on the floor next moment as I saw someone shot straightly on his head.

I was unable to understand anything, he came to save my life and ended up losing his own. We don't have any relation with each other. Who is he? Where are these people taking me? Was this blast was specially done to take me away??

I saw a few Indian prisoners staring at me, I stopped and said "I won't go.. they are all"

"look we are given task just to take you not them," the man said angrily.

I held the gun from his hand and shot the cell, about 10-15 Indian prisoner escaped with me. The police were behind us, I saw a van there. I shouted, "in the van..."

When there is hope to escape everyone just run for their life. Same happened with all of us, we were injured, mentally and physically tortured but we ran like wind.

I was left stunned to see Manvi inside the van. Tears escaped down my eyes, the man said "Dost bhaago (run)"

I sat inside the van, and one of the prisoners drove the man. The police were chasing us and firing bullets.

Manvi asked, "where is Azad??"

That person, who came to save me he was Azad. I looked at her helplessly and she closed her eyes. She shouted in pain, my eyes fell on her swollen belly.

I asked in concern "Are you fine??"

She nodded in yes. The van stopped at an abandoned place it was some kind of old fort. One of the prisoners spoke "We need to escape as soon as possible they will find us"

I looked on, all moved out of the van. I eyed at Manvi with teary eyes. She made a crying face and hugged me tightly.

I was in pain, as my shoulders were dislocated I tried not to make any sound. I bore the pain and tried to lift my hand "Ahh" escaped from my mouth.

Finally Manvi and Aarav meet. 😊

Next chapter will be posted soon.
