PART 4

As ASR watched the truck rolling to stop a sense of de javu coursed through him,filling him with a deep loathing.His past swirled once again in his mind in angry vortex,causing him the same anguish.He fought with it desperately.He couldn't fall weak,not when he had the chance to yet again fulfill the vow that he had taken on that dreadful night 14 years ago.........

                                                                                      The truck was shortly followed by another one.

''Take the position and be vigilant.....Not a single man should escape!''he hissed on the bluetooth,his muscles flinching to clamp down on those criminals neck.

Several men alighted from the trucks,oblivious to the lurking doom.A tall,well-built man came striding down and as the flash lights of the goons illuminated his scarred,ugly face,khushi gasped loudly.

''This is Chhota Mayappa,one of the most notorious and deadly drug dealer!''she said hushedly.

S.T.F. officers stealthily closed in,tightening the noose.

''All right guys,be ready!''ASR ordered and stood up determinedly from his hideout.

''Throw away your weapons and don't try to escape,lest you want to die!You're surrounded from all the sides.''he yelled,levelling his gun as the clearing buzzed with S.T.F. officers.

The goons stood petrified,frozen in the middle of the clearing as officers pounced in them from all the sides.

''Seize the drugs and take all of them in custody!''ASR barked order,grabbing Chhota Mayyappa by his collar and punching him.

''Don't you feel ashamed of betraying your own Country just for the sake of money!''he asked thrashing him badly,the ghost of his painful past completely over-powering him,robbing him off his senses.

''Bhai!''Akash struggled to loosen his hand off Chhota Mayyappa,but ASR was beyond reasons.This was the moment Akash had been fearing since morning and now the worst came true.It seemed that nothing could hold his brother back.

''Do you know how many lives you destroy?How many families you tear apart?''he growled.

''Arnavji!''khushi shrieked,as if to wake him from his painful memories.She could clearly hear and feel his pain as if it was his,twisting her insides.

ASR looked up to see her standing a feet away,her eyes mellowed voicing compassion as if she understood him.The sight knocked sense in his befuddled brain and he pushed the man away in disgust,not tearing his eyes away from her's.

Chhota Mayappa,endeavoured to steady himself and taking advantage of their lack of attention,grabbed khushi by her neck,aiming his gun at her.

''Your game is finished ASR!You can't catch me!Now drop off your gun otherwise I'll kill this pretty-head.''he leered.

ASR was torn.He could neither let the man escape,nor loose khushi.Just as he was thinking a way out,he saw khushi raising her leg.

Khushi aimed a firm kick on the man's groin,fully using her heels,causing him to howl in pain.She took advantage of his loosened grip to give a tight punch on his nose,that got him on the ground bleeding.

''I am not a fool to join S.T.F without knowing how to protect myself!''She spitted,her nose flaring.

She looked up to see several jaws dropped to ground except one's.ASR stared at her, an inexplicable sense of pride flooded him.
