My Princess
(It was the last day Abhay and Mrinal's staying in Kolkata)
‘BOSS are you going out toady also?'
‘Why?' The man got a question instead of an answer.
‘Nothing BOSS. We got an information that someone is behind blocking all kind of illegal business in India. He is doing this from few years and now he is successful. And he is the same man Abhay Singh Raizada.'
Utkarsh Raichand listened to his words carefully.
*He is just like him. Is he ‘his' son only?*
‘Ok keep an eye on him.'
Utkarsh took the flower bouquet and went outside. Before he could go out of house he got a call.
He picked up as it was his PA.
‘BOSS..' The voice was very week.
‘WHAT HAPPENED IN ITALY?'
‘BOSS.. some.. Abhay Singh Raizada blocked all the drugs which we sent in India from Italy and took all the weapons which we were going to receive from India.
He yelled at the man ‘And you pig were sleeping after getting drunk. Unfaithful basta*ds.'
He would have kill the man if he was in in front of him. He threw the phone on floor.
‘You are getting on my nerves. Whoever you are I will kill you only. Whether you are his son or not.'
He threw the flower bouquet on floor and called rather than barked for a maid.
‘Inform Shekhar to prepare my jet for Mumbai.'
******************************
*Next Day*
‘Sir the work is done.'
‘Make sure from any way I repeat from any way I don't want any illegal business in India.' He told his men.
He came out of his office in basement. It was place where he used talk about his underworld work with his men.
Abhay was walking towards the exit when he met Robin who was coming inside. He was out for some work.
‘Sir there is something to inform you.'
Then he said something to him. Abhay's eyes darkened after listening to him.
‘Be ready with all of them. He is always a backstabber. He will definitely attack from behind.' With that he left.
But there was an information which they lacked knowing that it was needed.
He went to his penthouse from his torture centre. He got freshened up and then again went out.
He walked towards his car. Reaching to his car he asked the driver to go back as he will drive himself.
He drove towards Mrinal's college and parked his car. He was waiting for her in front of the gate.
After 5 minutes he saw his wife coming out while talking with Isha and Avin. She looked around and then found her husband waiting for her. She bid bye to them and walked to him who was standing just opposite to her college gate.
She was just crossing the road suddenly a bike came.
‘MIRA!!' Abhay shouted as he feared the worst.
The bike was about to hit her when Abhay pulled her towards him.
‘Ahh!!' Mrinal yelped in pain due to sudden pain in her scalp. They fell down on the streets. He was on top of her. Isha immediately came to them on the other hand Avin already went towards the bike.
‘Mira you are fine na? Sir are you okay?' Abhay hold her carefully and then helped her to get up. She winced in pain as her right elbow got hurt due to falling on street.
‘I am fine Isha. Make her sit inside the car.' Abhay said to Isha.
Some students came near them to help. And fortunately nothing happened much serious.
Isha made her sit on car's back sit and switched on the AC. Panicked Abhay came near her and asked ‘Baby did you get hurt? Let me see.' Isha moved back and Abhay went to Mrinal.
He touched her head but she didn't get injury on her head as Abhay was smart enough to put his hand on her head when they fell on the ground.
‘I am fine just my elbow..'
‘What?! Let me see.'
He looked at her right elbow which was injured badly. He looked at her face. Her eyes were teary as blood oozed out from her wounds.
‘Isha bring water fast.' As soon as Abhay said Isha handed him a water bottle. Meanwhile Avin came back and took a deep breath.
Abhay washed her injury with water.
‘Isha pass me the first aid.'
Isha immediately gave him the first aid to him. Abhay brought Dettol and cotton from it and cleaned her injury.
‘Ahh!! Uff it's hurting.' Mrinal cried like a baby. Isha fisted her hand looking at the innocent girl crying. All three of them would kill that man but all three of them understood it wasn't attack to kill her but it was a warning.
‘Shhh!!! Baby. I am sorry. I am very sorry. Shh!!!' He cooed her. He blew air on her injury and wrapped a bandage around her elbow.
******************************
Avin was driving the car. While Mrinal was sleeping on Abhay's shoulder. Isha was sitting beside him. Soon they reached Singh Raizada Mansion.
Avin opened the car's gate for Abhay and Mrinal. Abhay picked up Mrinal and went inside.
Devika hurriedly came with their house physician.
‘What happened to my child?' She asked.
‘She got injured Choti ma. Don't worry.'
Mrinal was in pain so she said in a low voice ‘I .. am.. ok..'
Devika nodded her head and followed them with doctor. Avin and Isha also went upstairs.
*******************************
‘Nothing serious Abhi. I checked her whole body. Except that elbow injury she is fine. But due to sudden fall she is severely injured. She won't be able to move her right hand.'
Abhay listened to him. Devika looked at Vishal who just came after getting the news of attack on Mrinal.
‘You can meet her now. Go Abhi.'
Thanking the doctor, he went inside to see her. Again she was lying on bed feeling pain.
He kneeled in front of her body ‘Baby I am so sorry. I am sorry. I…I'
‘Abhi why are you sorry? It was that reckless driver. He doesn't know how to drive a bike. I am fine. Don't panic too much.'
He kept running his fingers through her hair and kept saying soothing words to her ears.
Devika came with a worker and knocked.
‘Choti ma come in please.'
‘Abhi she needs to eat something.'
‘Ok'
‘You go and get freshen up. I will feed my daughter.'
Abhi nodded her his head. He made Mrinal to get up from bed and made her sit leaning on the pillow.
‘Choti I will eat with you all.'
‘Not today beta. Come open your mouth. Don't stress yourself.' She said softly yet strictly as she fed her lunch.
Abhay went downstairs and found Isha and Avin. As Avin saw Abhay he said ‘Sir I already told our men to search about the bike. If the number plate is not wrong, then work will be more easy.'
‘Ok Sir.'
‘Sir Ma'am is fine na?' Isha asked.
‘Your bhabi is fine. Call her in the evening. I don't think she will come to attend college for a week.'
‘Ok Sir you will take our leave.'
‘Guys have lunch and then go. You guys are our daughter's friend also.' Vishal told them. He knew how close Isha was to Mrinal. Avin is also her friend but he always maintains a respectful distance with her knowing that she is the QUEEN.
‘Thank you Sir. But today we have to go. Sorry Sir don't mind.' Isha politely declined and Avin nodded his head in yes.
‘No issue. Join us some other day.'
They took their leave after talking with Abhay and left. Abhay never talks about his mafia works in their home.
*******************************
Abhay went to another room to get freshen up and then came downstairs.
Abhay had his lunch with Vishal as Devika was with Mrinal. After lunch both went to Mrinal's room. She was talking with Devika with a smile on her face. She was leaning on the pillow. Devika helped her to change her cloth then helped her to lay on the bed.
‘How are you my daughter? I am sorry I came late.' Vishal asked her while caressing her hair.
‘I am fine Chote papa. Please don't be sorry. It's just a small cut.' She said with a warm smile.
‘It's not that small cut my sweety. Don't move your hands too much. We can't see you in pain.'
Vishal was sad looking at her wound. He patted her head lovingly.
Devika gave her medicines and left with Vishal. Mrinal smiled at them. It's almost 2 years of their marriage still they treat her as a small baby.
Mrinal called Abhay ‘Did you have lunch and medicines?'
‘Yes Baby. Don't stress yourself. Actually Mama(Arti) called you. I am calling her, talk with her otherwise she will be tensed.'
Abhay knew that they have to make another excuse as they won't be able to go Kolkata.
He dialled the number and they both talked with her. After talking with her Abhay made her lay on bed and said ‘Sleep baby' and caressed her head.
‘Then cuddle me.' She said with a pout.
Abhay smiled and cuddled her carefully not hurting her right hand.
****************************
Abhay was inside his gym punching the punching bag in anger. He wants to hurt himself. A worried Vishal came inside as he couldn't find him in the office.
He came inside to find a complete dark shade of his son.
‘Abhi stop it. You will get hurt.'
‘I am sorry chote papa but I deserve. She is again hurt because of me. Again in pain because of me.'
He punched the punching bag hard.
‘Stop it. Your knuckles will bleed my son.'
‘Let it chote papa. I I should punish myself for hurting her.'
Vishal pulled Abhay back and said ‘And what will tell your wife and mother then?'
He stopped and sighed.
‘A single scratch on you will make them worried, sad. Don't do this my son.' He patted his back.
‘Sorry and thanks Chote papa.' Abhay said apologetically.
‘It's ok my son. Go and take bath. Good night.' Vishal went to his room not wanting Devika to wake up and search for him.
Abhay went to his room and took bath. Mrinal was sleeping peacefully. Abhay himself fed her dinner.
Coming out of the bathroom he got a call from Robin. There was no attack from the opponent. But the person targeted his wife first.
He caressed her cheek. She was delicate, innocent love of his life. And he can't see her in tears. He cuddled her, kissed her hair and then slept hugging her.
*****************************
‘The report is positive.'
Hearing these words, he choked the doctor who gave him the news.
‘If this report is false I will feed you to my sharks.'
The doctor gulped looking at the man. He was too shocked to find this man choking him like a mad person. He just came with sample and asked for test. Now when the report came he is choking him.
‘Leave .. me. Th..e rep..ort is .. correc.t . only.Listen ..you .. can make .. another.. test from.. somewhe..re else...Leave me.'
‘It's better if the report is not false. Or else..'
The doctor panted heavily when as the man left the man.
‘Or else what?! What do you think about yourselves?' He spat on him.
‘Lower your voice!!'
‘And why should I? We doctor aren't here to get beaten by you. Now get lost before I call police for the violence you are creating here.'
The man was about to punch the doctor but thinking something he took the repots and went out.
The doctor was really angry with this kind of people. The man came suddenly and then asked for report within the same day and then he came to take report late at night and now above all he is choking him when the report is positive.
He sighed and went out of his chamber. Coming out of his clinic he called his driver to come with his car.
Soon his car came and he opened the door to get inside. But before he could get inside a gunshot was heard. And the person fell on the ground.
******************************
‘The doctor is dead B..' The person cut the call without hearing anything more and sat on the bed. He looked at the report and then at the diary.
He held the dairy close to him and said to himself ‘I am coming to take you my princess. This will be fun only.'
Then he opened the diary and looked the same page ‘Please leave all these Arsh. Come to me, not for me but at least for our *love*.'
‘My princess. You shouldn't take my princess away. YOU . SHOULDN'T.'
He got up and went back to his own house. His work is done here.
