Love it was...PARTIII
“We are no one to you. We only know your name is Riya.” started one of the men.
“You
have to calm down to understand and make sense out of what we are going to say.
We have seen it all but still could not understand. We were waiting for you to
wake up and join the lose ends. We don’t want to keep you captive with us,
that’s not our interest. We wanted you to be able to take care of yourself
before we left you. That’s the sole reason why we kept ferrying you for three
days.” He continued
“I
don’t understand a thing, I was with Anant safe and sound. How did I land with
you?” Questioned a totally tired and by know at some ease Riya.
“Let
me tell you how it all started, we were going on our way. When suddenly we saw
a car halt at the express way and a person was fell out. The car quickly
started and sped away. We had pull the brakes real hard, or we would have had
smashed you. We went and saw, we found you. You were a bit bruised but
unconscious. We took you in our car and thought of dropping you at the nearest
police station or hospital. We drove with you tied on the front seat of our car
with the seat belt. We kept moving. After we reached near Dehu road exit. We
saw the same vehicle from which you had fallen out. They had no clue you were
with us. We sensed something fishy so we parked at a distance and decided to go
and check what was happening there.”
Riya
was listening, but was not really believing what they were saying, since she
didn’t have any other option, she continued to listen to them.
“What
we heard in the car made us not leave you with them” said one of the men
“Who
was in the car, what are you saying, all of this makes no sense”, Riya
Suddenly
one of them stood up and continued where the other one
left
.
“The
person in the car talking to some one called Anant. We only heard one side of
the conversation.” He then told what the conversation in the car was.
The
man in the car was saying,” Riya’s game is over, perfect accident. We will go
back in a while and call the police to come and collect the body, so that the
insurance claim processing can be started. It is 1 crore right. Don’t
forget about our 10% cut” the call ended.
The
man ended the call and said to his accomplice, “Yaar next time we wont
take cases like this, upfront payment must be there. Waiting for the
Claim payout and all.”
The
other one replied sarcastically, “Your wife makes a lot of noise these days, why don’t you buy
her insurance?”They
both laughed.
“After
hearing this conversation we didn’t have the courage to leave you. Because that
could have meant you going back to Anant, and we very well understood your
eventual fate. So we started driving with you and have been driving for
last 3 days. You were unconscious. Wherever possible we took medical help from
small clinic, going into a hospital meant registration of a MLC, so we avoided
the same.” They continued.Riya could now remember , how Anant was behind her for buying this insurance cover. She had joking once told him, “What will you do with money, without me?” And he would reply, “Many things, first let me have the money.” She never knew what he meant.
The
man started again, “We didn’t know what insurance he was talking about.
When you told you are an orphan we could connect some lose ends”.
“All
we had with you was your mobile phone, soon they must have realized that you
were not where they left you. So they panicked and started calling your phone”,
He continued
“We
received the first call it was from the people who were hired to take care of
Anant’s plan.”
Riya
was sobbing she never knew this side of Anant, she so wanted to have died then
and there at the expressway, what use was this life to her. She had been an
orphan and the first shade of love was given to her by Anant. She would always
ask him, why he choose her, and he would say he wanted someone to value his
relationship and other material stuff. She was so dead inside of her right now
that she didn’t want to live. She felt if money was so much more important
for Anant, she would rather let him have it, she had no purpose to live.
She
stood up and started walking. The four men were startled at her move.
One
of them questioned her, “Anant knows we are here, he was tracking us with your
mobile no. , and we four were foolish enough to have not realized that. We have
to move, get in the car”
Riya
kept walking, she wanted to walk and reach the end. She gestured to have her
phone. They handed her the phone. She dialed Anant,” Its me Riya, please go
ahead with claim processing. I am dead for you.”
She
disconnected the call and threw away the mobile and kept wondering…Love it
was……at least for her.
