A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 63: Take care of Esha

Anjali's pov

I was sitting in the police station for the last one hour because Inspector Dave was making an FIR against my so-called husband Marc so he wanted to know his illegal business in detail and stuff whereas Esha was staying with Danny for some time in the hotel where his treatment was going, I was glad he was getting better.

"Okay, fine Madam, if we need some more information, you have to come again, " Dave said matter-of- factly.

I nodded, sighing in relief to know this is ended for now, "Sure, no worries inspector, I will corporate," I smiled that he returned.

He suddenly got a message, "It's from Karan, " He told me.

I raised my brow at him, "What is he saying?" I questioned.

He sighed meekly, "He has sent me a message along with his location that he is gonna need my help, "

"For what?"

"We'll know once we get there, "

"Inspector, if you don't mind can I come with you?"

He shook his head, saying, "This could be dangerous, "

"Please, it's about Karan, I want to know by myself what is going on, please!" I begged. He sighed defeatedly, rolling his eyes out.

"Fine but try to stay behind me if any danger occurs, " He says.

I nodded, grinning, "Yes."

"Macvana, get ready a force of constables and send them with me, asap!" He ordered someone before turning to me.

"Let's go, "

Siya

"Ahh, this bitch broke my back!" Rhea yelled out, faking the cries, I instantly stood back and wanted to run when Rohan held my hand tightly throwing me on the ground, I felt my bone hurt badly.

"How dare you hurt her!" He shouted as he grabbed the top of my collar, I tried to kick him but he clasped me against the wall, pulling my clothes out.

"Leave me! Rohan! Don't touch me!"

"Shut up! I have to get this done to show you your place!"

He forcefully placed kisses on my neck as he trailed down to my chest, "Rohan! Just kill her, don't do anything else!" This time it was Rhea who told him.

"No Rhea, she first slapped me then pushed you, I can't tolerate this anymore, she has to pay with her body!" He replied, tattering my shirt from the shoulders.

"Rohan, get off me!!!" I shouted, scratching his face with the help of my nails in an attempt to not let him kiss me.

He whacked my hands, pinning it hardly to the ground again from his one hand, and from the other one he discarded my top, leaving me in the inner coat and bra.

"Please anybody help me! " I shouted for help as he smirked.

"Babe, it's no use of screaming, this door and room are almost soundproof, no one can hear us properly neither can we hear them," He specified.

"Rohan, take this gun and get over with her! We need to work on another plan, we don't have to waste our entire time on this little bitch!" She screamed at him, passing the gun in his direction. That fell just above my head, I tried to take the gun but he wasn't letting me move under his body as he was busy kissing and licking, he rose from me for a moment to remove his jeans' belt, I instantly extended my hand and boom, I got it.

I immediately sprinted backward, pointing the gun to him, "You will shoot me, bitch?!" He challenged me.

"Stay away! Or else I will shoot it!" I warned.

When Rhea spoke in amusement, "Oops, I forgot to put bullets in it, " she shows me the bullets in her palms, "I just wanted him to scare you," which just made Rohan smile wider.

"Sure, go ahead!" He said.

Karan

The voices weren't that clear for us to understand the situation but we were sure that Siya is inside and she needed our help, I messaged Dave an hour back on my way here for extra help but he left my message on 'seen' and hasn't replied maybe he didn't get my signal, I checked my phone and the signal was very less here for me to call, I move to Sunny.

"Sunny, do one thing for me, go up and call Dave right now!"

"Okay, fine!" He hastily went upstairs without asking me questions, smart boy, I said in my mind as my eyes fell on the big hammer and another tool kit.

I immediately lifted it and smashed it on the door and after a few more hits the door fell open, I kicked it off and went inside, finding Siya pointing the gun at Rohan, her clothes were tattered badly, I didn't want to know what she has been through.

"Stay away from her!" I said, pulling Rohan back.

"Glad to see you, brother!" He said, trying a lame move to punch my face, I blocked him and managed to smack his face with the support of my elbow, he shortly stood out in the same position, hitting my chest. I blocked again, kicking him on his legs, as I knocked my head on his, resulting in him falling, somehow he balanced himself, picking up a steel rod that was in the corner of the room and tried to hit me with it, I managed to avoid the first strikes and grabbed the front of the rod, I strived to snatch it from his hand but his grip was way tighter than mine.

when suddenly I heard the sound of the gun firing thrice and followed by it, I saw Rohan's wide eyes as he hacks on the ground, noticing the blood flowing through his back.

I rushed my stare to the owner who fired the gun and found Siya was holding it, her gazes were red and swollen from crying as her hands were abruptly shaking. I rushed toward her side.

"Ka-Karan sa, I-I," She was trying to let out a sentence but I stopped her.

"It's fine, " I said, taking her in my embrace as I heaved the gun off her hand, I caressed her back to calm her down and covered her with the jacket I was wearing. She slowly melted and cried a bit, "Shh, don't cry, I am here now, you did nothing wrong,"

"Rohan!" I heard Rhea's broken voice from the right corner of the room, she was shocked yet angry as she ran to Rohan's dead body, "Say you are alive, at least, look at me!"

She looked up at our face out of anger, " You bitch! First, you stole my Karan from me and now killed my brother!"

"Rhea, Shut the fuck up!!" I yelled out.

She shook her head, "I will kill her, Karan, I will kill her, " She mumbles, removing another gun from her shoulder bag.

I quickly hid Siya behind me as I said with frustration, "Rhea, stop it! Are you fucking crazy?!!"

"Yes, your love has driven me crazy! Karan, now move!"

"I won't, Rhea! This is nonsense, this is a crime!"

"I will shoot you too if you come between us!"

"Then do it! I fucking don't care!"

Finally, I saw Sunny arriving. He was shocked to death, seeing the dead body, and Gun in Rhea's hand and followed by him. I noticed Inspector Dave and his cops entered as well with Anjali….Anjali? What is she doing here?

Sunny asked, stunned, "Rhea di! Why are pointing a gun at Karan bro?!" But she didn't respond to him.

"Whatever the reason, Miss, put it down, or else we need to shoot," Dave said.

"I don't care, " Rhea mumbles as she tightens her grip on the trigger, she was about to push it when Anjali moved her hands in an upwards direction as the bullet hit the ceiling instead of me.

"Who are you, get off me, " Rhea told Anjali.

"Neither do I know you, but I won't let you harm Karan or Adah in any way!"

"No one can stop me!"

Anjali was trying to take off the gun from Rhea's hand but she wasn't ready to give up, "I will stop you!" Anjali spoke with confidence, Dave and I wanted to somehow help Anjali but he wasn't able to touch them because they're women hence it wasn't my case, I went towards Rhea and grabbed her hands in an attempt to stop her, she was struggling with my grip and Anjali was taking the gun off when something unexpected happens.

Rhea shot Anjali in the stomach, purposely since she wasn't able to stop her, "Anjali, " Siya and I shouted her name in unison as she dropped to her knees.

Rhea laughs, saying, "That's what happens to the people who come in my way!"

I slapped Rhea's face and made her stumble over her heels and the gun finally fell from her hand. I sprinted to the Anjali and gave her support to sit and look at me. "Someone, call the ambulance! " I ordered as Siya joined me, I immediately removed my shirt and put it on the big wound of Anjali's stomach to halt the blood. Dave quickly took the gun and Rhea into his custody when some lady constables came to help him.

"I will call, " Sunny uttered and instantly went upstairs.

"Anjali, don't worry you'll be fine," Siya said, taking her hand in hers.

"No-" Anjali was trying to say but the pain wasn't letting her, I stroke her hair, "I deserve this, for hurting you, Karan," She trails.

"No! You don't, Anjali, you deserve to live!" I muttered to her loudly.

She smiles, weakly, "But I will be always glad that I was helpful to you, "

"Don't say this, please." She ignored my words and continued.

"Just take care of Esha for me, "

"Please Anjali."

"And just one last thing, I love you so much, " she says, touching my cheeks as she slowly closes her eyes.

"No! No! No! No! Anjali, please No! Just stay with us, stay with me for Esha!" I continued screaming at her to stay even though I know she has already left us, her breath has been quiet, all this year, I hated her so much, I never wanted to see her face again and now I am regretting it my every hurtful word I said to her, I am feeling like that she will wake up and will say this a prank as she used to do with me during in college days.

I know this time it wasn't a prank.

"Ambulance is coming, " Sunny said.

I shook my head in no, "No use, "

~~~

30 minutes later…..

Siya

I couldn't able to believe what had happened, Adah helped Rhea to kidnap me, Rohan tried to rape me, I shot Rohan in an attempt to save Karan, Rhea shot Anjali, Karan was dead silent and Sunny was talking to the cops. I swear, I had no idea where the bullets came from in the gun when Rhea said she has the bullets, I was trying my luck to see if the gun will work or not and it worked and Rohan died,

Inspector Dave explained to me that it happens when the pistol is slightly rusty, bullets get stuck inside and we thought we removed them and this was my case.

We were sitting at the back entrance of the ambulance as a nurse gave me a blue medical cloth to cover myself properly, I thanked her and moved to Karan, his face was resting on his palms, his body was becoming cold, no doubt, he was still processing everything.

I wrapped my arms around him, he became relaxed and held my hand near him as he placed a small kiss on it.

"I am sorry, Siya. I wasn't able to come earlier to save you, " He says, glancing at me with red eyes.

I smiled sadly, "No, Karan sa-" When something clicked me.

"You know my real name?!"

He chuckled, "I know everything, Sunny told me, I am very sorry that you have to go through so many troubles because of me, "

"No, it's my fault too, " I said and he kissed my forehead.

"Let it be, " He says and I nodded to him.

"Are you distraught about Anjali's death?" I slowly asked.

He let out a sigh, "I don't know, to be honest, I never expected this to happen even I hated her, I just-" He paused, gathering his words, "I just never able to hate her and after this, she changed my perspective but for that she died, saving us, "

"You still loved her, don't you?"

He glanced at me, super stunned like I saw his heart, he slowly nodded in confirmation, "I did love her alot,"

"Karan, Adah!" We saw Rhea's husband making his way over us, hastily.

"Rajeev?" Karan calls him.

"Where is Rhea what happened to you guys?!" He questions, scared, "Sunny informed me that Rhea kidnapped her and stuff, "

Karan and I shared a look as he explained everything to Rajeev, his face falls in guilt and he burst into tears, "I know I have no right to say this but still, I apologize for everything, I know everything earlier I could have stopped Rhea but I didn't, I was so stupid in love with her that coz of me you both had to suffer so much, " He joins his hands together as an apology when Karan stops him.

"Hey, No, Rajeev, it's just Rhea crossed her limits on her own, none of this is your fault, " He said to her. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Thank you so much, Karan, You are not a prince but a king by your big kind heart too to forgive a naive like me. "

We flashed him a small smile, "Mr. Rajeev?" A constable called him, "Inspector Dave wants to meet you,"

He nodded to him and turned towards us, "I again apologize from the depth of my heart. Now, allow me,"

"Please, " Karan says as Rajeev vanished out of our sight.

I moved my head to face Karan, "Karan sa, what will we say to Maa sa?"

He sighed, "Leave it on me."
