Chapter 13

Shlok wrapped his arms around his knees, his back leaned against the bed while sitting on the floor, his head hidden between his knees. He had been sitting like that ever since he finished eating his dinner. After she left him, all he did was wore his clothes and ate the dinner like a mechanical robot, like a body without life. A knock interrupted his isolated zone, he let out a tiring sigh as he stood up, he have no heart to talk with anyone.

Shlok opened the door, only to find Ankush with his usual grin.

"Did I disturb you?" Ankush asked.

"Not really. Come in." Shlok said and went back in.

"I just wanted to say something, actually ask something." Ankush said as he entered the room.

He turned back and asked "What?"

Ankush rubbed his hands together as he hesitantly asked "will you forgive us?"

Shlok was silent for long moments then he replied "I don't know."

Ankush smiled as he spoke "At least it's not no. You must be thinking why I asked this question. You see I saw father dying in front of me..and that memory haunts me..till now..I just..oh! It is harder than I thought!" he took a deep breath then he continued "I hate that man who did this to father..I always say I wanted both of you together, I try my best to bring you closer but it's not only her I want happy, I want you to be happy too, Shlok because I know when this will be over you will be all alone. I don't want you to be alone, I know how it feels, it's terrible, I don't want you to go through that. I also don't want you to force yourself into the relationship, if you won't forgive us for doing this to your father, we will accept it. The choice is entirely yours."

He turned to leave when Shlok stopped him.

"Why do you want me for Astha, why not someone else?"

"No one understand her the way you do, besides I trust you than anyone else."

"What if I may never forgive her for what she did to my father?"

"I know you Shlok. You will forgive her after knowing the truth, actually not her if there would be anyone else you will forgive them."

"Why do you trust me?"

"I don't need reason to trust you, I just do. I know it sound silly but you are my idol ever since I meet you in our chilhood."

A small smile formed on Shlok's lips then he said "It does sound silly."

Ankush laughed then bid his good night. Shlok couldn't understand how but his mood improved, he was feeling a bit relaxed than before, maybe that is what they call friendship, a friend can always change your mood.

He lay on his bed and unwrapped his fist, the chain slid down from his hand and the half heart shaped locket hanged in the air. His eyes were following the direction of the locket as it moved back and forth like a pendulum. He is like this locket, he thought, he is broken in half and is moving endlessly between his father and his love, not knowing where he really belongs. Who should he believe his father, who had been with him since he was born or his love, who had been with him for two months?

"Why can't you understand? You can't stay here!" Niranjan shouted angrily.

Thirteen years old Shlok shuddered at his father's loud voice, he bit his lower lip to control his tears.

"But why?" He asked in a low voice.

"Because it is my decision and you have to follow it. You are going to finish your further studies in boarding school whether you like it or not." He said and went out of the room.

Was there a reason on why his father never let him stay at home, why he always insisted he finish his studies on boarding school than at home? Was it because of his illegal works? Wasn't it for his welfare and his future?

I..I don't want..it here!..Take me..away Master Shlok, please..

"I was a wh**e."

At least now he know where she was and why she didn't want it there. Now he know why she wouldn't tell him about Avi's father because she herself may not know who he was. Now he realize why she wouldn't tell him the truth, no woman would tell this bitter truth of her life without being ashamed of, especially not to her close ones.

"---my body has been used over and over again by many different men, criminal or innocent, cruel or gentle, you won't even find a single clean thing in me."

" ---will you use my body when it is like a dirty rag used by many, thrown by many, possessed by many?"

"one more thing young man, if you truly love her and wish to be with her,then show her, she is worthy of your love because that is what keeping her from you."

She has lost her self esteem as well as her pride that was to be expected after what she through. Like her father said her self esteem is keeping her from him, she doesn't think of herself as worthy for him. How will he ever able to bring back that self esteem when he himself is shaken by her truth.

"---Being with me means dying day by day, you will only hurt yourself. It is easier for you to say that you are ready to jump in the fires of hell I am burning in but it is hard to stay in the same fire."

"You are right, Astha, it is harder to stay in the same fire with you" Shlok said as tears gushed from his eyes.

"But that doesn't mean I don't want us to be together, I will find a way, I promise you that." He said as he kissed the locket.

***

Astha tightly clutched the soapy sponge in her hand, tears welled from her eyes, anger and sorrow burned like a fire her heart.

"Your place is only in the bed, wh**e! Say you want me, your body is for my pleasure. I paid for you!" Her customer shouted as he ripped off her dress.

She rubbed the soapy sponge on her body harshly, trying to wash away the touch of those men until she threw the sponge with anger filled shriek.

"No man will love you knowing you're a prostitute. They won't care about you, you're just a bed warmer." Her friend said with a chuckle.

She was wrong, there is a man who would care about me, who would love me.

"Because I love you and will always love no matter what." Shlok said.

But am I worthy of that love?

"How do you like the feeling of being helpless? In pain?" Astha asked sarcastically from tormented Sushant who was panting for breath, his throat rasped after spending hours shouting in pain. After she stopped recording the video, she showed it to him, showing him his wretched state, crushing his pride.

He let out a chuckle and replied "You could've enjoyed it."

Astha pressed the scorched knife on his shoulder blade, he shouted in agony, she pressed it harder, burning and cutting the flesh at the same time.

"You have anything more to say?" She asked while removing the blade.

Sushant felt numbness in his whole body, he no longer feel the pain, the torture was too much for him to endure. He felt his life slipping away from him, he no longer hear anything, blackness surrounded his eyes putting him into an endless sleep. He didn't understand why those words came out of his mouth but they did when he was on the verge of death.

"You are like us" Sushant said as he spatted blood through his bruised blood, he added with a chuckle, making it his last words "You've become a devil.."

More tears spilled from her eyes, it is true she had become a devil, she is hollow person, as good as a dead person.

Astha looked at her reflection in the water, she whispered to herself "You are a devil, a killer, a monster. You don't deserve him, you will ruin him, Astha."

***

"Do you have any enemies or anyone you doubt?" Karan asked.

Niranjan shaked his head, "I don't think so but I'm in corporate world I can't be sure if someone is enemy."

"So you're telling me someone is threatening to destroy you without any purpose?"

"That is what he implies. He keep on calling me saying he want to destroy me---"

"What did he mean by destroy? In business? Emotionally? Looking at your success and power, one would want to destroy you."

"I don't know how before I could question him more, he cuts the call. He only tells what he will do---"

"It means he tells you what he will do before he does anything?" Vikram asked curiously.

Panic raised in Niranjan's heart, he can't possibly tell the police about Sushant, it will get him caught neither can he tell them that he was told about Shlok, it will raise doubts.

"No! only that he says what he can do." Niranjan said, trying not to sound too nervous.

"Like?"

"Like..I don't know, he just say he want me destroyed."

Karan frowned at his reply, "Just few days ago your son died in accident, do you think it is his doing?"

"I..don't know..I..really don't know!" Niranjan said as he cried.

"We understand your pain. We'll investigate in this matter, Mr. Niranjan Agnihotri. You can safely stay home. I will put some of my men on guard for your safety."

"Thank you Inspector Karan. You are my only hope, I was told there's no case you never solved, I hope you solve this case too."

"I will try my best. We'll be going." Karan said.

***

"I can smell something fishy in this case." Karan said aloud as he drove the jeep.

"You can smell with your broken nose?" Vikram asked with a chuckle.

Karan looked at his friend with a deadly glare, apart from being his partner in the police department, he became his closest friend. He met Vikram four years ago when he got assigned under him, he saw the potential he possess which was why he chose him as his partner, then became his closest friend.

"You're enjoying this, don't you? And it is not broken just slightly swollen. I swear to hell I'm gonna catch that black bas***d!" Karan said heatedly.

"Good luck with that." He heard his friend say with a mocking smile.

"If you weren't my friend, I would've throttle you."

"Oh come on, I'm just teasing you. But you should've expected that, he protect his members like a treasure and you do deserve it."

"Why do you always defend that black bas***d?"

"Because he help us in fighting crime."

"He is taking the law in his hands!"

"When the law become incompetent, it is necessary to take the law in our own hands." Vikram replied with a little bitterness.

There is one thing Karan never liked about Vikram, his sense of justice and his disbelief in law even though he works for the law, if he need kill the criminal without trial, he would do it without hesitation, he would always say that law will never bring justice to the victim and that the trial will only delay his punishment or worse never get him punishment. Karan never reported it to the police department, he always wondered why he never did, maybe because he feel justified on his part.

"Then what about the crimes he did? Drug dealing? Woman trader?Murder? Robbery? Are you gonna ignore them?"

"Those crimes are never proven." Vikram remarked.

"That's what pisses me off! The whole department knows, most of the crime scenes we found him yet we find no evidence at all linking him with the crime!"

"He's good and intelligent."

"I just can't believe you're praising him! He's a bloody criminal!"

"A noble criminal. Maybe you haven't noticed but I did, he never involved innocent lives."

"Vikram, there's nothing noble in crime. A good is good and a bad is bad."

"That's what you think, you see black as black and white as white but I see grey shades and this guy has a gray personality. I admire his good work and despise his bad deeds, we can't ignore the good in him and always point the bad in him which you are very fond of doing."

"I do praise his good deeds but that doesn't mean I would ignore the bad deeds. One must be punished for his crime and must be rewarded for good he does."

"Taking out the trash is also good then he must be rewarded but everytime she does you still try to catch her."

"I just want to know why he plays angel and at the same time devil..and by the way it's he not she, he's a man."

Vikram bit his tongue, he's lucky that he didn't notice the slip of his tongue, be careful, Vicky!

"Yeah, right."

"You should've become revolutionist instead of a police because you act more like them." Karan commented.

"Being a police was my dream since childhood but being a revolutionist has become my nature. I couldn't have been both if that person never helped me" Vikram said with a grin.

"And you never tell me who this person is."

"I will someday but not soon."

Karan gave a understanding smile, he never knew what past Vikram had but he would always say that he had done things which a kid of his age will never do, he would say there is a darkness in him and that person had shed his light on him and that he is very thankful to be with him.

"By the way you found any information from those chickens we caught the other night?" Karan asked.

"Not a damn thing! Those bloody dogs don't even know who they were working for, they say they don't know his name only that they call him boss. He only call them when he need back up."

"What does this boss do anyway? Only drug dealing?"

"One of them told me that he is more active in prostitution business than in drug dealing."

Of course, that lusty always wanted prostitution where he can use woman for his bed pleasure and man for his profit. Whenever he remember the times he used his body, a child's body who never guessed what those child molester were doing to him until he reached adoloscence and came in his senses, he felt disgusted and ashamed for what happened to him. He felt satisfaction after watching that video, watching him being tortured, watching him in pain, watching him begging, that bas***d deserved it!


"Tsk. So it was useless effort."

"It wasn't! It was actually useful, you got yourself a free makeover of your face."

"You just wait. I'm gonna kick your ass."

Vikram laughed aloud while Karan just glared at him.

"And why do you find Niranjan's case fishy?" Vikram asked curiously after he stopped laughing.

"It's just a hunch nothing else. I just feel something's missing."

"Like?"

"I don't know. His son died in a car accident just a week ago, he is recieving threatening calls from someone he doesn't know and that enemy doesn't say anything except that he wants to destroy him. Don't you think it is leading to something?"

"Let me guess revenge!"

"Splendid! You're a genius!" Karan shouted with an applause then added "Ofcourse I know that! What I was saying that it is leading to some dirty secrets!"

Vikram grinned as he asked with a raised brow "You think Niranjan is bad guy?"

"I told you it's just a guess and I heard only good about him so I can't be sure."

"Yes, we can't be sure."

"But it will be fun to catch this mysterious guy."

"I'm sure it will be." Vikram said then said in his mind "with Blackhawk involved, it surely will be."
