𝐒𝐀𝐇𝐎𝐑 (𝐀.𝐊.𝐀. 𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍) 𝐏𝐎𝐕:
I went through the lists of the donors who are all voluntarily provided their organs in a cash exchange. The record has been elevated surplus than the previous month.
Not bad...
I attain these organs through people's death alot since I have built a hospital under my name, “SRS”. It is a part of this trafficking business.
Sometimes the expulsion of organs is done forcefully by killing people, but it is a very rare occasion. Sometimes, the people come forth freely to denote when a need for money arises.
"Vajra, did you ask Param, how the deal went? Did they submit to our terms?", I raised a question, to my right-hand man.
I decided to visit Chennai following that Kerala the last week, but I cannot since I have to attend Raffa's (Ferrari) wedding. So, I have sent my left-hand man, Param, to finish off the deal by being in my position.
"They upheld to our terms, Sir. Also, many of the orphanage holders were ready to become a part of the organ business.", he notified as I leveled a fierce glare on him, by hearing those remarks. It's not my scheme.
"Orphanage? Don't you know including children in this business is against the Organization code.", I let out a furious groan, as he muttered an apology for talking in that manner, with his head facing downward.
In Capone Organization, one of the codes is, never to involve children in the business.
"When Param is coming back?", I wanted to know about the location for his safety purpose. Touring to another state, for illegal firm bases, could be dangerous sometimes.
"Today evening, Sir.", he responded, for which I gave a nod. As I began to interrogate him about how the trade deals and loads that went on without me, on the last week.
I made him halt his talk when I heard a faded wail from the ground. I stared down to detect him agonizing due to air suffocation. Ah, I forgot him.
Currently, I am crushing the throat of the betrayer under my shoes with his mouth taped. I sneered when he gave me his pleading eyes.
Too late...
If anyone is working for me they have to do only that shit. I am not a skilled one when it comes to forbearance. He dared to loot the vital organs from my place and tried to trade them without knowing me.
"I hope, no one will ever try to pull out this kind of stunts anymore like him.", I claimed.
All Soldiers and the laborers who are all working under me in the organ trafficking business, stood with their heads down, lowly.
"Look, they understood a message from you. Every death occurs for a reason.", I smirked. His chest raised aloft, reflecting, he is on the verge of his death.
Before he could die, I moved my rigid hold away from his throat. He gasped out, wildly, trying to level his breath.
"But if your death finalizes like this, it'll look so ordinary. They'll forget easily.", I illustrated to him. He clutched my legs, begging for mercy.
If I have compassion why the fuck I'm being A Mafia SottoCapo (UnderBoss)? I jerked his hands away from my legs and booted his chest. He coughed out hard which bolstered his struggle for breathing more than before.
"Vajra, where is that mortuary freezer box?", I questioned about it.
He replied as all freezer box was set on the rooms in the upstairs. I ratified him to lay this traitor inside that box and froze him to death, under the temperature of 32 degrees F.
"Sure, Sir.", he said, and I got up from the chair to leave but stood still in the mid before instructing him to do this one thing as an inevitable one.
"He should die in front of all. Keep the box in the midst for everyone's view.", I proclaimed, before leaving from the warehouse not paying heed to the pleas of that backstabber.
If I kill that betrayer within a second, it won't invoke fear for the remaining members who are all acting here, as they will easily forget within an hour.
But if they eye his slow painful death for each passing second until the body breaks down into pieces. Then it will surely get weaved on their mind, ever and they will shake in terror to do this betrayal act even in their dreams.
I was about to get in the car but when I listened to a familiar voice calling my name, I stopped on my track. I tilt my head to the side to catch the sight of My close friend, Hrithik.
What he is doing here?
"I waited for you at your place until Vajra called me to inform, that you are in the warehouse.", he confided, as I gave a nod.
We both got inside my car with many cars, surrounding the front and back for our safety. On the way, he raised a lot of queries about Raffa's (Ferrari) wedding which took place 2 days ago.
He was also invited to the wedding, but during that time, we were caught up in a major task to finish. He stayed here in my position, impelled me to leave it in his hands. In the end, he can't able to attend the wedding.
After the wedding, on the same night itself, I departed from there, when I came to know about the theft that has happened in the warehouse, because of my absence.
Two hours back I reached in here and the first thing I did is to smother this fucking betrayer under my shoes.
I explained to him all the occurrences that took place in Raffa's wedding as it includes Rose's pregnancy. It felt good to see my friend with a happy face as I know he had a rough childhood.
"That's good to hear.", he confessed as I let out a small laugh. I pulled out the fresh package which is filled with cocaine powder.
I need some relief from this business. I've gone for just one week to attend my friend's wedding, in that slight gap, various happenings took place which I need to fix now.
I sniffed the powder through my nose and heaved out a deep sigh, as it gave me a feeling of euphoria, an intensely pleasurable feeling, that I could never get from anything.
"I hope, you are not addicted to it.", I heard an aggravated voice, as I eyed Hrithik, he has a disappointed look on his face and he added further to quit taking this unwanted stuff.
I use cocaine occasionally for a short time relief, apart from that, it doesn't affect my life.
A few weeks back, 20 tons of cocaine powder has reached here through the ship under Raffa's supervision. As he knows, I would always take some of the cocaine for my use.
I made sure, it got delivered to certain places as per the list he gave me as we all help each other. We are like a team play of 6 partners, but in that, our one friend was in prison now.
"No one controls my life.", I alleged, for which he rolled his eyes at me, but he didn't retort anything back.
My face scrunched up with confusion when he notified the driver to take a different direction and that is not the way to my place.
"Where are we going?", I questioned him, keeping the cocaine packet back in my pant pocket. I can't understand his sudden act of changing direction.
"You know the young girl, who worked on our company project.", he asserted, as I gave him a puzzled look and told him that we don't have young girls working in organ trafficking.
"When I tell business and project, I'm talking about legal business here, not the illegal one.", he huffed out, shaking his head side to side as I gave him a boring look.
I'm trying so fucking hard to balance both businesses, it is draining me out. I couldn't think right sometimes. My position is different from my friend's job, harder than their illegal business.
"What's with that young girl?", I interrogated him as he started up to continue further.
"Megha, that hardworking girl who is very active in our projects, died a week ago according to the autopsy report. Her body was found from garbage piles, yesterday.", he edified as I gave a nod, remembering her.
Such a young age to die...
"The purpose behind why we going to her home is, her death become sensational news. So, we need to go there or else news media will erode our reputation.", he added further, as I listened quietly, feeling unhappy about her short span of life.
Reaching her home, I caught sight of the entire spot, looking nasty, as it got filled with numerous people who are all clustered together like sheep.
I wore my sunglasses but it got ripped away by Hrithik, it irked me. "What the fuck!", I yelled at him, not able to tolerate it. As it is not about him, it is about the outer view.
This place is terrible above all of those fucking paparazzi's awaiting to ignite me again. So, that they can get great trp for their news channels.
"Remember, an innocent girl is dead, we are not here to support a fashion show.", he gritted out, staring at me, unbelievably, before placing a round wreath of flowers in my hand.
I got down from my car, as he stepped out from the left side of the car door. I ignored the presence of paparazzi's as the camera flashes galled me, with a lot of reporters shoving the mic in front of my face.
Fucking hell...
My guards surrounded me, trying to push the reporters away, but they are not having it. Because, they crave to develop a story using me, by today in their channels.
I avoided the topics when the query is regarding that girl. I tried to keep my composure until one of the unluckiest reporters in woman raised forward unwanted scrutiny among the crowd.
"Sir, Is that true you rekindled the relationship with your ex-girlfriend Diya Ahuja?", The woman reporter explored, as I stopped on my track and took the mic from her hand.
In front of her eyes, I crushed the mic under my shoes and gritted out, "You will be fired for this act." Her raven smokey eyes began to get tearful.
"Sahor, what you're doing?", Hrithik pulled me away from reporters as we entered the home, to notice Megha's body kept inside the funeral glass box.
Her whole body and her face were got wrapped in white cloth. We both kept the funeral wreath on top of the glass as I saw her family moaning over her demise. Her parents got three more daughters apart from Megha.
I went to her father and held his hand as he cried out loud. He choked on his words while confessing that Megha is the only strength of their family.
"Don't worry about it, Sir. I'll take care of your daughter's studies also I will make sure you will never lack money. I'll take care of all.", I tried to console him, but I couldn't.
Talking with his daughters for a few minutes as a comfort, I left from there before providing my business card to contact me whenever they need any help. Besides, I'll make sure that they will never struggle for money.
Getting inside the car, Hrithik patted onto my shoulder, with a proud look for being nice to that family.
"She is an innocent girl, I wonder who killed her.", he sighed. I've eyed him for a moment before disclosing it, "I am the one, who killed her."
He gawked at me with a shock-filled face for a bit and didn't say anything in return. I shook him hard, letting out, to snap out of it.
"For what the fuck you killed her?", he peered at me, disappointed. Since, he thought, for the first moment I was being generous.
"I don't have a choice. She heard the phone conversation about our illegal business, then, she followed me to the warehouse. Above all, she video recorded all to submit the proof to the police.", I explained to him, the reason behind my actions.
When she was caught by my men's I had no choice but to kill her. Yet, I did try to be decent. I told her to forget all this shit, I was ready to allow her to avoid death.
But, she behaved insensibly as she let out, that she would rather die than to live like a coward and added further, that I'm nothing but a cruel creature, who is wrecking this pure world.
I can't help but laugh at that moment, as those names didn't upset me a bit, because I listened to that kind of word many times, even from my family.
What made me upset is, when she flouted the choice that I gave her, it disturbed my ego, or whatever the shit you call that, I don't fucking care.
But I can't stand it when someone defies my word. So, in the end, losing my last ounce of tolerance, I let her drown in the water tank until she got muffled to death.
The postmortem has been performed in my hospital, so the report would be favorable toward me, not against me. I know how to close this outbreak, as it is not something new to me.
"Was all the information are safe with you now?", he doubted, asking about the video she recorded as I gave a nod. He let out a sigh of relief.
"I told you to not help that Diya. Look what happened now.", he felt upset as I know the reason behind it.
Because Diya is none other than his so-called step-sister, whom he hates to the core. He can't even tolerate her presence for an instant.
Even I don't like her, her father came to my mansion, requested me to help her in business. Since she's a new one to it, to assist her I got no other option but to carry her around.
In the end, it sparked a rumor that we both were in love with each other. To make the situation worse, that stupid girl also fell in love with me.
I had numerous past relationships but all for nothing but business, totally for fun and fortune. I won't chase any nor bow down in front of any woman like my friends, it's a waste of time.
"When do you intend to visit your family?", he questioned, making me snap out of my thoughts. That made me recollect, how I screwed up the family dinner.
"Not for now.", I muttered under my breath, agitated. He didn't interrogate me further, understanding that I don't want to talk about it.
They all staying together but I choose to live alone, mainly away from them. Because I never get along with any of my family members, but that doesn't mean I do not like them.
An emotion will forever reside in me for them, after all, they are my family no matter what.
But, sometimes, it sucks...
Last weekend, I had dinner with my family, counting on each moment of torture. It was more like rivals facing each other, as I and My father were disputing on polar sides, in the organ trafficking business.
Also not forgetting my brothers, they will invariably support my father, not me. But the only good thing that is left in us now, we never felt a need to kill each other for trade, atleast for now.
The dinner crashed down, exclusively when I hoisted my gun and aimed at my mother's head when she pestered me to marry that foolish girl, Diya. In the end, she collapsed, terrified.
Simply, I fucked up...
Pushing those thoughts off, I began to have some conversation with Hrithik until we arrived at My Palace which I bought last month, for 5 billion.
The gate got opened by security as my palace is far off from people's sights, surrounded by guards all around. It's more like a restricted sector with no other homes up to 46 acres.
Getting inside, he settled on the couch in the living hall, while I've made my way toward the bedroom. Following it, I took a cold shower, to get solace from my tiredness.
After finish taking the shower, I dried myself off with a towel. Then, I used a cologne and switched into my slim-fit blazer with black pants.
After having breakfast, we both made our way toward the business meeting arena. Our both companies built close to one other, we are business partners in all the leagues.
"Make sure you completely shut the issue of Megha's death, before the CBI takes over the lawsuit.", he gave me a warning about the CBI, as I gave him a nod, leaning back on the seat with my eyes closed.
"Look here, the way you acted with that woman reporter video, going viral now.", my eyes shot open when I heard those words.
He showed me the video on the phone as I snatched the phone from him and saw the video, following that ton of dislikes, not forgetting the comments.
“Rich people are like that.”, A comment got registered.
Next to that, “He got a ton of arrogant attitude.”
Then, “He doesn't know how to respect people.”
The next one, “He needs to apologize for his actions.”
Apologize? Huh., I snorted mentally. Like hell, I'll apologize to that lowlife. Soon, that woman will be the one who will beg me to give back her job. I will fucking make sure of that.
Just like that, a lot of comments were articulated deeming my attitude. I just wonder, don't they have any other job apart from doing unwanted shits like this? Probably, they're all jobless ones, thinking how to blow their time.
And I don't fucking care about this...
AADRITI POV:
I need to find a path to get inside my home, as of right now, I could feel my heart pounding hard against my ears, drenched in scare. I don't know what to do anymore in this matter.
I gasped out audible as if I had a heart attack when Chiku jumped out of the basket and moved in the other way.
"Chiku.", I whispered out his name, under my breath, and followed him from behind paddling my bicycle.
I stopped in my track when I noticed he has taken me to the backside of the home. I forgot, there is a door placed in here. I held him in my arms, and patted his head, admiring his effort.
Ok! All I have to do now is get inside my home from the back door and take only the needed things.
I made my way toward my home on a tiptoe, to make sure to not even make a tiny noise. I unlocked the back door using the key as I went into my home. Closing the door, I seated Chiku on the box and signaled him to stay silent.
I took my bag at a quiet pace from the shelf to make sure I won't do anything stupid to drop it from the shelf.
Inside the bag, I kept my educational records, my ID card, a few clothes then a small bedsheet, not forgetting my inexpensive makeup products.
That's it, remaining all belong to the house, I just realized how much of a poor girl I am today. Forget it, doesn't matter anymore. I better entrust my bicycle to the orphanage, at least, it would be helpful for someone there.
Packing my stuff, I wore the backpack behind and made my way out of the home not bothering to lock it. Before I could settle on my bicycle, I heard a loud voice, which hitched my breath and had my heart sprinting.
"Aadriti, where are you going?", I tilt my head up to see kaavya from the terrace. She had a satisfying smile on her face, she purposely did it.
"She is on the backside.", I listened to the rage-filled voice of Mithun. I didn't waste a moment, as I did all in a dash. I began to paddle my bicycle as if my life depended on it. Like the world is about to end, now.
I tilt my head back, to see him yelling at me tossing the knife on the ground. They all ran inside, and I averted my gaze back to the road. I placed Chiku on the front basket when I saw him, clinging onto my shoulder.
"Don't worry, Chiku. We are gonna be fine.", I reassured him, but it looks as if I'm saying those words to myself.
I paddled hastily, using all types of crosscuts to reach the railway station. My back is aching because of the bag, and I can't paddle first enough. Forget giving my bicycle to the orphanage, as I need to survive first.
I heard a garish car screeching sounds from behind as I looked back to notice him chasing me with two other cars following his. He screamed out loud my name, warning me to stop.
The people who are all walking on the road, gawking as if movie shooting is going on. Not even a single soul came in front to aid me, no humanity.
What a world!
I took the small crosscut way, which is narrow sufficient only for a bicycle to get through it. I looked back to notice them steering ahead, I know they will try to block me by coming through the other way.
I made a way out of the crosscut and halted the bicycle. I got down from it by parking it on the side of the road. Let, any needy person get my bicycle.
I began to move away from the place by taking the other road as I glanced back to notice, they haven't reached here yet. It would take some time as it has a long road to overtake for them to reach this place.
On the way, I halted an auto-rickshaw as I trotted inside, settling on the seat. "Brother, go to Thiruvananthapuram Central". I informed the auto driver to go to the railway station.
I got no other way but to go there now as still more than 3 hours left for the train departure. The auto commenced moving as I covered my face with the shawl. On the way, in the opposite direction, I saw those cars.
It's him...
I hid Chiku on the other side and then tilted my face to the opposite, hoping he won't see me. Only one sentence tolled in my mind constantly, let me escape from him.
I could hear the thumping beat of my heart as I stayed in the same position until those cars had gone past us.
The moment, the car has gone further away from us, I blew out a deep sigh of relaxation.
Thank God!
I leaned back on the seat and heaved out a sigh. I removed the shawl from my face.
I placed Chiku on my lap and claimed, "We will be fine." He stared at me in a lull, as he lean his head on my palm. I stroked his fluffy fur, in serenity.
Finally, reaching the railway station, I gave the driver the money and made my way inside.
I took an available seat, on one hand, I feel spooked, about what if he finds about my location. On the other hand, I feel courageous, believing, I could get through this.
My thoughts got hindered when out of nowhere Chiku got down from my lap and began to sniff the ground as well as whining at me. It made me realize.
Nature calls...
I held the leash and took him to a spot away from people's sight. I took my phone out when I heard the ringing sound, I noted the Caller ID as Mother Anvi. I attended the call.
Before I can initiate the talk, she beat me to it, asking, where am I? I replied, that, I'm at the railway station.
"Aadriti, just now Mithun arrived here and solicited us, where are you leaving to? I refused to disclose it to him, but when he took one of the workers at the gunpoint I got no choice.", she let out to me, everything in one breath.
What she's trying to say? Don't tell me that she revealed to him, where I am going? I snapped out of my thinking when she called out my name.
"Yes, what is it?", I raised a question to her, flabbergasted. I feel confused as I don't know what to say.
"Did you heard or not? I got no option but to divulge it to him that, you are going to Delhi. I am sorry, Aadriti.", she confided to me as my breath began to accelerate, out of frustration.
Why it has to happen to me? I don't know what to do with this anymore. If my assumptions are true, he'll show up at the railway station right now.
"Aadriti, don't go to Delhi. Go to some other city, also he might be reaching over there, now. So, hide somewhere or go to the police.", she suggested and urged me to hide somewhere.
I could have gone to the police, but it will lead to unnecessary stuff as they will raise questions about the relation between me and Mithun, which will destroy my life in the end.
A wave of adrenaline flooded into me as I realized its not over yet. I haven't escaped from him till now. He might be moving toward here, right now. I have to escape. I must...
"I will take care.", I muttered out and hung up the call.
I can't blame Mother Anvi, because anyone in her position would do only this. I must hide here, around, until the train arrives.
"Let's go, Chiku.", I twitched the strap gently, gesturing him to move as he finished for what he came for.
I took upstairs and reached the other side of the location. I made my way inside the waiting room, as the room is filled with full of people. It would be hard for them to find me here, in case if they search for me.
I sat on the corner of the room where it serves as a hiding spot. I glanced at the watch, 2 and half hours left now.
I draped the shawl around my face again and tried to stay relaxed as my fingers kept on tapping on the clutch of the chair, naturally, in nervousness.
After an hour, I became calm, until I caught sight of the window to witness
Mithun standing outside along with a few men. My eyes went wide appalled to find out he already reached here.
Who are all these men!? I know he is not a thug, sort of man, he is currently taking care of his family business, a hotel-related. Maybe, he spent money to make these men assist him.
I stood up from the seat in a jerk and ran towards the restroom. I stood at the entrance of it and peeked as they all entered inside, searching for me.
After searching for me, a few minutes, they left as I blew out in relief. I gape at the watch again 2 hours 15 minutes left, still.
I stayed inside the restroom, for more than an hour, my legs started to ache. I can't infer, that, I'm hanging around in here as if it is the most stunning place in the world.
I continued to walk over inside, with my whole face enclosed. I can't stand the awful odor that coming out from here. Chiku is in a safe place, he has settled on top of my backpack.
I don't know where to go now. I have a train ticket for Delhi, which Mithun is aware of. What if he gets there? But also, I don't have any other alternate, apart from going there now. If I drop the plan and get back home, I will be ruined for life.
My thoughts got curtailed in the mid when I heard the voice notification of the arrival for the train in which I've to catch up with inside now.
I made my way out, cautiously, from the restroom and searched for their presence. They're not here, so, I made my way out of the waiting room, and Chiku walked beside me.
I saw on the board, on which platform the train is about to arrive and made my way towards it. I took Chiku in my arms, purposely, in case if Mithun see me, I have to be ready to escape.
Reaching the accurate platform, I saw the train which has arrived already as now only fifteen minutes left for its depart-
I hid behind the wall, hurriedly when I noticed him standing near the train on which I'm supposed to get in. Ugh! Someone kill him already, he was not my boyfriend anymore. I want him to be dead right now for his demeanor.
Love long gone...
My breath suddenly changed to short bursts, eyeing him and his men's who are searching in all the compartments for me. How can I get inside now?
Please someone help me...
I kept up in a hidden state for a while, helpless. Should I go back home? No, if I lose this shot, I could never be able to get it back. I need to get in without knowing them.
My eyes broadened, petrified, when I heard the horn sound of the train, it implies, the train was about to depart now. I saw the train begin to move in an unhurried state.
I noticed them all, they are still on the train, searching. How am I supposed to get inside, in this state? I started to move slowly alongside, as I observed them hopping out from the train.
The train began to trot a bit faster, as I begin to run to enter inside, feeling it has to be done now as an only pick.
"There she is.", I heard their voice but ignored it and Mithun warned me, to stop, which I ignored likewise as the plague.
I need to escape is the only thought...
"Chiku, hold me tight.", I shouted for him to hear, as adrenaline scrambled in me like a tumor. He held me tightly, since, his tendencies know, we are in terrific danger.
I tried to get on the train, but I can't as my legs aren't stable enough to jump inside like men's. Besides I got so much terrified as the train began to hustle, faster than before.
I am gonna die...
I clutched Chiku tight with one hand, and using the other I strived to get in again by using the train steps.
He is getting closer...
I shouted at the top of my lungs when my foot got slid from the steps, since, the train is now moving faster.
I shut my eyes tight ready for the impact of the hit, only to get pulled inside in a jerked way, unexpectedly.
I let out a startled gasp and fell on the steel floor of the train, holding Chiku still in my arm.
"Aadriti.", I heard an indignant voice gritting out my name.
I tilt my head over in a tug to discern, he is also trying to get inside the train. My heartbeat began to surge high, an abusive fear curled through my sense.
Oh, no!
