SidNaaz Ki Duniya: Collection of Short Stories and OS (On Hold)

In Love With Blood (3.5)

It was a big place at the end of the city. Many people gathered around the place while Aunt Stella and Alice were standing at the centre. There was a big cage which was covered with red cloth.

Aunt Stella went and removed the cloth and everyone saw Sidharth. He hold the cage tightly and groaned angrily looking at Aunt Stella.

The people got scared seeing his long teeth and red eyes. But they felt relieved as he was caged.

Suddenly some lights fell on Sidharth's body. Those lights were similar to sunlight. Sidharth started suffering because of that and soon lost his sense.

Aunt Stella looked at the people standing there and said, "Aap sab dekh hi sakte hai, tez roshni ne iss Vampire ko kamzor bana diya hai. Isliye ghabrane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Kuch hi der ke andar Suraj nikal jayega aur yeh Vampire jal ke rakh ho jayega."

Everyone was watching him being amused. They didn't have any idea that Vampires existed in real life. At that very moment, Sana came there with her friends. Her eyes fell on the cage and her heart broke seeing her love in that condition.

"Sidharth!" Screamed Sana and went near the cage without caring about anyone.

Everyone became confused seeing that including Aunt Stella and Alice.

"Aankhein kholo Sidharth. Main aa gayi hoon. Tumhari Sana. Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dungi." She said in a crying voice. But Sidharth couldn't open his eyes.

"He is dangerous. Move away." Said Aunt Stella sternly.

Sana looked at Aunt Stella and said, "Aap mere Sidharth ko jaane di jiye. He is not dangerous. Yaaha kisi ko uss se khatra nahi hai."

"Khatra nahi hai?" Asked Aunt Stella with disbelief. "Usne kuch din pehle meri Alice ko kata hai. Uski kismat acchi thi isliye woh bach gayi. Paata nahi aur bhi kitni ladkiyon ki jaan le chuka hai yeh Vampire."

"Sidharth ne kisi ki jaan nahi liyi. Usse bas survive karne ke liye blood chahiye tha. That's it. Yakeen ki jiye mera. He can't kill anybody." Sana tried to convince her.

"Chalo maan lete hai usne kisi ki jaan nahi liyi. Phir bhi hum ek Vampire ko zinda nahi rakh sakte jo insaano ka khoon pee ke jeeta ho. Usse aaj marna hoga."

"Nahi!" Uttered Sana loudly. "Aap sab ki problem yeh hai na ki Sidharth ek Vampire hai? Mere paas ek tarika hai jis se Sidharth Vampire se wapas insaan ban sakta hai. Agar woh insaan ban gaya, tab toh aap usse chhor denge?"

"Kaunse tareeke ki baat kar rahi ho tum?" Asked Aunt Stella.

Sana took out the book from her bag, gave it to Aunt Stella and told her to open the last page. She started reading it.

"Agar Vampire kisi aise insaan ke sharir ka saara khoon pee le jisko uss se pyaar hai, toh woh Vampire phir se insaan ban sakta hai. Iska matlab hum Sidharth ko bacha sakte hai aur uss se yaaha ke logo ko bhi koi khatra nahi hoga." Said Sana.

After reading, Aunt Stella said, "Main iske baare mein jaanti hoon. But this method is almost impossible."

"Aunt Stella is right. Waise bhi ek darinde se bhala kaun pyaar karta hoga?" Said Alice.

"Main karti hoon." Said Sana suddenly. She looked at Sidharth and said with moist eyes, "I love him very much. Sidharth agar mere sharir ka saara khoon pee le toh woh bach jayega."

"Lekin iss se toh tum......"

Before Aunt Stella could complete, Sana said, "Main marr jaaungi. Paata hai mujhe. Par agar main khud ki life ke badle Sidharth ko uski life wapas de sakti hoon toh mujhe iss mein koi aitraaz nahi hai. I'm ready to die for him."
