PUPPETS OF DESTINY (A romantic thriller story)

Chapter 18: History repeats itself?

Zoya runs toward Aditya's cabin and bumped into him.

Aditya: woahh easy chicklet. Are you okay? Why are you panting so much?

Zoya: I am fine.. where's.. where's Rudra?

Adi: Rudra just went out for important work, but you can tell me. If there's something important. I will inform him.

Zoya: actually Adi..

Adi gets a call from Rudra.

Adi: lo Rudra ka hi call aagaya. Yaa Rudra, Zoya wants to..

Rudra: Adi immediately comes to XYZ place.

Adi: what happened?

Rudra: I will explain to you once we meet, come fast. We have to chase someone.

Adi: okay, I am coming. (he cuts the call) Zoya, I have to go now, we will talk later.

Zoya: yeah, but is everything fine?

Adi: I hope it is. He didn't tell me anything.

Zoya: okay, you go. We will talk later.

Adi: yeah thanks. See you later.

Zoya nodded.

Rudra and Aditya were continuously on phone.

Rudra: jaisa main vo bol raha hun, vesi hi kar. We can find out the truth today only Adi. Trust me.

Adi: I trust you Rudra, tabhi aaya na yaha. Tum log ka exact location batao. Mein opposite direction se aata hun, and then we will trap him.

Rudra: I am sharing my location with you, tum uske opposite direction se aana.

Adi: done. But yeh aadmi hai kaun jisko tu follow karra hai.

Rudra: sabh bataunga, but milne ke baad.

Adi: okay.

Both did the same thing and increased their vehicle's speed and trapped that guy in between a deserted road. That guy tried to run, but Rudra kicked on his leg and he fell down. Meanwhile, Adi came out of his car and saw him.

Rudra: bahut bhag liya beta, abh thoda rest kar.

Adi: who is he?

Rudra: one of the guys who saved you that night from the so-called attacker.

Adi got stunned and looked at that man.

Rudra: I went to search for Aman there (the sketcher) in XYZ road, and there I met him.

-----------------------------------------Flashback----------------------------------------------

Rudra (to a man): excuse me. I heard this person Aman lives here, do you know where he lives?

Man: yes, (he started giving him instructions and that guy bumped onto him)

Guy: I am sorry.

Rudra: it's okay no issues. (without looking at him)

Guy: oh shit!

Rudra (looked at him): huh?

Guy: nothing, your shoes got dirty because of me. I am sorry.

Rudra: yaa, it's... (he looked at him) wait, do I know you? Your face seems familiar.

Guy: nahi aisa kuch nai hai. Mein chalta hu haan. Sorry again.

Rudra (remembers him and his words "we saw that man hitting him and I and my friends saved him from that man"): It's him, that guy who saved Adi that night.. hey, wait!!! (he shouted)
