Falling In Love With You

Part 14

The scene begins with Asmit sitting on his chair with his legs crossed wearing an ugly smirk while caressing his gun. 
He was staring at the boy "Ashu" intensely who was surrounded by his men. 

Asmit- I thought you are good in these, but you turned out to be a rat. If you had to play this game against me, you should have used your mind more and have had applied wisely.

Siddharth's hands were tied. He looked straight into Asmit's eyes but spoke nothing, which pissed Asmit more. 

Asmit- You thought you could have her before me?   
He clicked his tongue. 
 
Asmit- Oh my dear Ashu... You could have just asked me. After I had completely broken her, I would have surely given you a chance too. 

It is said that when you fall in love, you can bear your humiliation but not of the person you love. 
Siddharth growled. 

Sid- Not a word against her!
Asmit- I am so scared... Well, please me a little.

He looked at his men and they opened the rope to which Siddharth's hands were tied. 
They attacked him but he was a skilled person at it. He easily fought with them, until some of Asmit's chosen men entered, including Raghav. 

They punched his face so hard that his lips bled. Though Asmit's men felt bad to do this to their own Ashu, but they were helpless. 
They captured his hand and he knew he was trapped. 
Asmit walked up to him.

Asmit- All fault goes to this slut. She must  have seduced you. I have always wanted a fighter like you but unfortunately you fell for her and have called your own end. 

He gripped his gun and placed it on Siddharth's head. 

Asmit(whisper)- Should I kill you directly or should I give you a little taste of hell, Ash-
He couldn't speak further as he felt another gun pointed at his head. 

Who among his men could dare to do this!
He turned to his left, just to get the biggest shock of his life. 
Siddharth followed his gaze and his eyes widened. There was a silence in the room... No one was able to speak a word seeing what was waiting in front of them. 

The fragile female figure who always got scared to look at Asmit was now staring at his soul while holding the trigger of the gun. 

"Avneet?" the air whispered. 
She shook her head indicating Asmit not to pull the trigger. 

Asmit- Lower your hand Avneet! You can't belief what is waiting for you. Don't make it worse. 
Avu- One hand to him, and I won't miss the shot of pull the trigger before you. 

She sounded like a lioness looking at her prey. 
Siddharth was mesmerized seeing her like this. 

No one in the room made a movement knowing it has a consequence. 
Avu- Don't try to fool me, stop asking your mean to come closer to me! 

Raghav, who was heading towards her went frozen hearing her. 
Asmit- AVNEET!

Avu- Pull the gun down. I will repeat the same. 

The stern voice and the fire in her eyes...
Asmit's furrowed his brows. He has never seen Avneet like this and he knew she was serious when she said she will kill him if he dares to touch Siddharth. 

"Shall he kill Siddharth and snatch the gun from her? She has never been into a fight before, has she?" 
But before Asmit could turn his thought into his action, Siddharth suddenly kicked Asmit on his knees which lead him fall down. 

Siddharth took the gun from Avneet's hand and held her hand tightly. 
He pointed the gun at the people present in the room. 

He knew Asmit's man won't harm Avneet until they are said so and their main target was Siddharth. 
He slowly took back steps towards the exit.

Asmit picked his gun and tried to fire a shot but Siddharth was quicker than him. The bullet hit Asmit's shoulder. 

Siddharth knew very well that during the punishment of their victim, Asmit is the only one to carry the gun. He knew the others doesn't have a gun. 

Asmit- WHY ARE YOU STANDING IDIOTS? GO ATTACK!
His men went towards Siddharth but he shot at the ceiling. 

They were already close to the exit...he pulled her and they ran out of the door. 
They ran and ran somehow surviving the gunshots that were shot towards them.

They took a breathe when they reached the main road. Asmit's man won't be able to do anything here as its a public place and the area has police. 
 
{Help! I feel like I am writing the scene of an Indian typical serial! But I had to include it!}

Siddharth looked around him to recheck if they were being followed. His eyes landed on a parlor. He walked there holding her hand. 
She was panting badly but she followed Siddharth for the sake to survive.

Entering the building, Siddharth saw a man drinking water. Maybe he was a driver? He asked some water and passed the bottle to Avneet. 

She drank it and felt a little calm. He thanked the man and they went in. Making sure no one can see them, he suddenly pulled her into a tight hug. She wasn't prepared for the action at all... She knew all her body weight was on him but he cared less. He hugged her so tight, as if he would loose her if his grip loosens. 
She hugged him back with trembling hands. 

He broke the hug. 
Sid- Are you hurt somewhere? 

He held her shoulders and checked her if she was. He noticed she has tears in her eyes. 
Sid- W-what has happened? Did they hurt you?

Avu- J-just because of me your lips are bleeding... now y-your life is under threat too. 
She tried not to cry in front of him. 

He smiled fondly and held her cheeks lovingly.
Sid- Stop blaming it on you Avneet... 

Sid- Do you know I am proud of you? How...just how could you hold that gun at that moment? Where did you gather the courage from? Do you know how to use a gun either?

She shook her head.
Avu- I d-don't know what got me. T-the room I was locked was of that old w-wrecked man. I saw a  gun there. M-maybe the fate was with me so luckily the guard somehow forgot to close the door. 

"Maybe he was more eager to see my punishment, so out of hurry he forgot to lock the door properly?"he thougt.
She couldn't control her tears anymore. 

Avu- A-and when I reached downstairs, I saw him pointing the gun at you. I d-don't know how I gathered courage. Neither I know the technique to use a gun.

He wiped her tears and pulled her into another hug. She hugged his torso tightly shedding her tears while he caressed her hair.

Sid- Its not safe here... A-avneet... Would you please dye your hair? 
She broke the hug. 

Avu- Change my look?
Sid- Yes. Otherwise, I can't find any choice.

She shifted her gaze to the ground. 
Avu-  I- I am r-ready t-to m-marry you. 

Though she shuttered, he could understand her word and he felt it too delusional to belief.
Sid- H-huh? You don't have to push yourself, w-we can find another way. 

Avu- I a-ain't pushing myself. But y-you shouldn't marry me. It will cause harm to your l-life.
Sid- When I offered you, I knew what I was doing.

Sid- You need not to change your look then. Lets travel to Mumbai today itself. 
Avu- Your mom? W-will she accept me?

Sid- I don't know but I think, we should be positive. I have already taken her permission before offering you. 
Avu- I f-feel guilty. 

Sid- You are no where at fault. If I am staying by your side, its my own choice. 
She stayed quite.

Sid- Let's go to Vaishnavi's di's house and take your belongings. We will then head for Mumbai. I will inform Abhishek bhiaya too. But it's risky to get out of here dressed like this.

Avu- W-we can wear the attire of an Islamic woman. People won't be able to recognize then. But where will we find the clothes?

Siddharth smiled.
Sid- Leave it to me!
