THE BRIDE583 words~3 min read

She brought matchstick and was about to burn me when someone pushed her. It was none other than Nikhil. Nikhil I said. I was relieved. Other police officers grabbed Shanaya while Nikhil untied me. HOW DID YOU DO THIS yelled Shanaya. I got up and looked at her in the eye. I saw a yellow car following me Shanaya. So I stopped the car and went to the mountain to see what the person in the car wanted to do to me. My intution told me that it could be you but still I let you follow me. I hid the phone in my socks so that I can be tracked. Main dar rha tha ki kahi tum phone ko dekh na lo par tumne apne gusse main nhi dekha.

(I was scared that you might see the phone that's why I hid the phone in my socks. I was scared that you might find the phone but you in your anger didn't see the phone.)

So that's how Nikhil and other police officers are here I said pointing towards Nikhil and other police officers.

AAAAAAAAAH yelled Shanaya and burst into tears.

I will kill you Kartikeya she said.

I am not your enemy Shanaya I repeated.

Yes you are. You all men are asshole she said.

It's not true Shanaya. I know what you went through was horrible but please trust me I will give you justice I said.

Her eyes softened.

How will you give me justice Kartikeya she asked and sat on the floor while the police officers were holding her.

Jiske Baap ne uska saath injustice kiya ho usse justice kaise doge aap she asked.

(The girl whose father did injustice with her how will you give justice to her?)

Main dunga Shanaya justice I said.

(I will give you justice Shanaya.)

I will hire a lawyer for you who will fight for you and prove that you need to go to rehab centre instead of jail I said.

And that lawyer would be me came a voice and I turned around to look at the person.

Akshat I said. What are you doing here I asked shocked.

Kiran Bhabhi called me. Unhone aur Deepika ne mujhe call karke Shanaya ke baare main sab bataya he said.

(She and Deepika told me about Shanaya.)

I turned to look at Kiran who had just walked behind Akshat. I smiled at her. I am proud of her and Deepika. Soon Deepika also entered the room. Her and Shanaya's eyes met. Deepika smiled at her and Shanaya looked down. Thanks Bhai aane ke liye I said. (Thanks brother for coming.)

Mention not Bhai(big brother)

I patted his back.

Shanaya was taken to jail. I promise you will out of Jail Shanaya I said before she left. She didn't say anything. We all returned home.

Ab aap kaisa mehsoos kar rhe hai asked Kiran. (How are you feeling now?)

Acha bas ek baar Shanaya jail se bahar aa jaaye mujhe aur acha mehsoos hoga. Bahut bura lagta hai uske liye I said.

(Good but once Shanaya is out of the jail I will feel more good. I feel bad for her.)

Chinta mat kijiye. Akshat sambhal rha hai yeh case. Dekhna who jeetke hi aayega said Kiran. (Don't worry. Akshat is handling the case. You will see he will win the case.)

I hope so I said.

I lied on my wife's lap and soon we both drifted off to sleep.

THE END
