We meet again

Chapter 23

"Where's Meera?"

"Oh I see, ok well I need the money first then you can have her, yeah?"

Ugh! For this plan to work I need Meera to be near me. Wait! Hold on!

"At least bring her out so I can see her. Please?"

He stays silent, please say yes, please.

"Fine. She can stay right next to my car but my men will stay close to her. Once the money has been exchanged then she can come back to her dear husband."

I see one of his men open the door of his car and bring her out, forcefully. Oh my god!, she looks terrible. She's bruised, thinned down and has dried blood in her. What did they do to her?!

"What on earth did you do to her?! How can you hit a woman, you are an absolute disgusting excuse for a man!"

"I'd watch your mouth if I were you, don't want anything bad happening do we?"

"Don't hurt her anymore, I'll meet your men halfway instead."

I hope my reinforcements are coming because this is it once they find out there's no money just some old clothing in the bag, it's going to go down badly.

I begin to walk forward as does one of his men. My heart pounds as I walk closer and closer. Hold on a minute, what is he reaching for in his pocket? A gun, he's reaching for a gun! Ravi is going to kill me and Meera, that's why!

I run towards the man and stand in front of him, he signals for the bag.

Suddenly everyone looks up as they hear helicopter blades whirr.
THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE ACTUALLY HERE! YES!

"What's going on?! Why's there a helicopter?! It's a police helicopter! Get your guns NOW!"

The men that hold onto Meera let go of her to get their guns, as she falls onto the ground.

"MEERA! GET INTO A CAR AND DUCK DOWN! DON'T GET UP UNTIL I SAY SO!"

She runs into the car and ducks down. I run to my car and hide in it.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Police gunfire and Ravi's men gunfire is all I hear. Is Meera ok? Ok, Ajay, calm down. I hear the groans and yelling of men either shooting or getting shot.

This goes on for a few more seconds. It stops. The back window of my is cracked. I peer over the window, there are many bodies, some probably dead and others barely managing to move. I hear the sirens of ambulances and police vans/cars. The helicopter is currently flying away.

Did Meera survive? Is Ravi still alive? I prepare to go out. I cautiously step out of the car. I'm greeted by the sight of many, many policemen and ambulance workers.

"Sir, the plan went a little haywire, but it did succeed with bloodshed. Thank you for alerting us blackmail and hostage situations are very serious. We'll take him to where he belongs. Please attend the court in 2 weeks."

I see there's a group of armed police officers taking away Ravi, while he struggles, saying some 'polite' words. Finally that idiot can be where he deserves to be!

Meera! I hope she's ok!

I run over to where she is, it was this car right. Oh no, it's got bullet holes all over it. I whip open the door. I see Meera curled up into a ball crying. Aw, no, no, no.

"Meera, you can come out."

She looks at me for a moment, her eyes glazed with tears. She jumps up and out of the car. I feel two arms wrap around my torso and hear whimpering and sniffing.

I look down at her and wrap my own arms around her snuggling my face in her neck as my eyes start to water. Why am I starting to cry? Don't cry, Ajay, don't cry.

"Ajay, Ajay, thank you so much! I've never been so thankful in my life. He, he, kept hurting me. I mean Mr Krishnan."

I hug her tighter.

"At least you're ok, apart from the bruises and blood. It's fine, I'm sorry, so sorry. Meera, we're going to the hospital ok? You're hurt. Badly. I meant Miss Maholtra, yeah."

She looks up at me nervously.

"Can we just call each other our names? I think we both went through enough to be more than complete enemies. So I'm thinking shall we just start again? Unless you um like Samantha still then..."

Her face drops but she tries to smile. I think about it and nod.

"Well, I suppose so. I think we should, we also have to attend the court to get the idiot behind bars permanently."

She smiles as I take her to the car. I'm so sorry Meera, this was all my fault. I deserved all the pain I went through. From now on, I'm going to embrace our marriage. This is going to work.

A/N-

So guys I have finally updated, I hope you liked this chapter. I spent a lot of time on it. Also thanks for your support and I'm thankfully better, no more flu. Yay!

So Meera and Ajay seem friendly towards each other now. How cute, aww. Like that's going to last for long, pffft...

Meera's family is still furious at Ajay and Meera is absolutely clueless as in how Ajay caused some of that mess.

Oooh, do you smell that? I smell some trouble and drama, smells so good!

Until next time... On We Meet Again
