Disha's POV,
It was an another fine day in Villach, a small city in Austria. The sky was warm and clear as always. I was on my way to work, Finally everything went back to its coarse.....I can't believe it's already been a year. But unfortunately all the good times had to come to an end some day. But I didn't know that day would be today... I did not expect to see him here again even in my wildest dreams, I just want to believe this moment in my chapter was not real. But it turns out to be real, my heart was beating so fast, I was trying to run away from the place but couldn't able to move my legs, everything round me stood still and the only thing going on my mind was " I DON'T WANT TO RETURN TO THAT HELL AGAIN".
I started to run away from that place.Even though it has been a year everything feels like yesterday. I will not forget each and every minute I spent with him... I ran far away from that place hoping to get away from him before he finds me here....
I went back to my apartment, started to pack my bags up , suddenly I heard a familiar voice behind me " what happened Disha?? Why are you packing ?? ". I turned back immediately, finding my best friend Natalie standing with my files and handbag which I left on the office floor before running back to my apartment, she is the only person who I can trust here,I wish I could tell her everything but I know it will end up hurting her too. People ll eventually get hurt when they know about my past, so I decided to lock myself up to prevent others getting hurt because of me.
She rushed inside the room throwing my stuffs on the bed, I can't look into her eyes and answer to that question.. I just told her that it's my time to leave this place...she grabbed me by my shoulder and told me
Natalie : know from the beginning that you were hiding something from me, but I don't know for sure what it was ... I tried everyday to make you open up and get rid off all your burdens you were carrying for so long.BUT I FAILED AS A Friend".
Disha's POV,
Hearing those words after many years, I can't control my tears anymore. I know if I stood there even for an another second, I ll drag her into my mess,so I started to walk away from her without uttering a word , controlling my tears, but she suddenly shouted with tears in her eyes,
Natalie : PLEASE TELL *ME, WHY *"...
Disha's POV,
Watching her crying ....,,tears started to flood in my eyes, I can't hold back anymore.. I must leave as soon as possible.
If he finds out, he will first chase her to capture me.. I had already lost many important people In my life, I can't lose anyone anymore... I hugged her one last time saying" Thank you for everything" and left the place, this pain in my chest I can't take it any longer..."Why me?? Why it's always me?? This one question haunts me every minute... Every good memories of this place started to flashback in my mind but this pain is not new to me.... Finally I reached the airport... Even thou I felt this pain before,,, I can't shook off this from my heart, leaving this place, leaving Natalie and all others, it was not a long journey but this place helped me to live peacefully.
Now it's time for me to leave this place or I will end up hurting people again.. I looked back for one last time and entered into the airport wondering where to go, I went to the counter to ask about the departure of the next flight, but I was too late they already found me. Some people were even running away from me and few acting strange... I got scared and started to run from the airport to nearby bus stop. But they blocked both the exit and entrance.
Disha's POV,
I ran into the washroom to think of a plan to escape, since it's early morning, the janitors and cleaners were taking the garbage to the garbage truck which was parked at the back gate, I had no other choice but to use them to get away and it was the only way I had that time. I somehow managed to get on the garbage truck and finally reached the exit.
Meanwhile at Taiga's office room.
Taiga : I knew it was her, this time am not gonna let her run. (Knock!! knock!!.)... COME IN.
Taiga's POV,
It's my brother Lee, he is my step brother actually his mom died when he was three, in an accident,, after that incident we took him into care. Now we both are taking care of our business together. (door opens), he rushed into my room saying ,
Lee : Bro Taiga as you guessed she went to the airport, shall I send our men there ...
Taiga's POV,
I just started to laugh after hearing that, my brother got confused and asked me again.
Lee : Taiga do you want me to send our men to the airport??
Taiga : No need for that, just tell Bob to gather all his men near the bus stops and railway stations and ask him to wait for my signal , and one more important thing ,she must not notice them.
Taiga's POV,
He didn't understand why I refused to go to the airport,
Lee : But bro I told you..she is in the airport ,why do we have to gather our men near the bus stops. Are you drunk Taiga ...
Taiga's POV,
I just smiled and replied to him,
Taiga : Lee, if I know Disha, she should've found us already and moved to her next escaping route that is via bus or train to reach any nearby village or city. So trust me I know what I am doing.
Taiga's POV,
Lee is an emotional person, he is more eager to find Disha than me because of the incident which happened four years back.
Lee : How can you be so sure about that, you know she had already tricked you once .
Taiga's POV,
Usually he never asked too many questions like this to me, since his revenge got more powerful than his kind personality, he was little afraid that I may favor her to escape, but as a elder brother I understood his feelings and replied him politely, "Of course I remember my lil brother, but just keep this in mind " people always learn from their mistakes and don't worry am not here to support her".
With a surprised look on his face, he asked me,
Lee : I don't understand Taiga, why this woman again?? You know what we lost because of her.. Did you forget everything bro." ...
Taiga's POV,
I don't know how to reply to this question, even though I don't know why I am going after her, after everything she did to me. So I smiled and told him," I have been asking the same question to myself for many years now, still unable to find the reason my lil brother".
He closed the door and went outside to gather our men near bus stops.
Since she found our presence here, I said to myself that,
THIS IS THE END TO OUR HIDE AND SEEK Disha!!!.
At AIRPORT,
Disha's POV,
Achoo!!! I think he is cursing me, I need to leave this place but something is definitely wrong here, why the hell the truck is not moving. I need to go before somebody notices me....
After a few minutes,
The truck reached near the entry gate, I got down from the truck and rushed myself to the entrance again, trying to get away from the people.... Wondering about Taiga, when I think about him, I get a lump in my throat. No, this is not the time to think negative....
I must hurry up, after 1 hour I reached the city bus stop, waiting to get on any bus, Suddenly my mobile phone started to ring, I picked up seeing Mathew's name on the screen, Mathew is Natalie's fiance, i don't know why but am getting a bad feeling about this.... After a few seconds I made up my mind to pick up the call,
With fear I picked up the call and asked. *Hello. Hello Mathew.... Is everything OK??. There was no answer from the other side, I got scared and shouted MATHEWWW. Still there was no answer, I don't know what to do,
Disha : damn why is he not answering the call after picking it up.... Oh my God!!! Don't tell me they already got them.. No, no...nothing like that should happen again.."
After a few seconds he replied back,
Disha's POV,
Hello!! Hello Hello.... Helloooooo Disha,
I was so relieved and asked him whether he was trying to give me a heart attack. After hearing my voice he started to shout," Disha come here soon, I need your help here . please save me ( sobing sound)....I got frightened, without even thinking about the consequences I asked the driver to turn around the car to the 2nd market street?? Where Nat and Mathew are living, meanwhile I called him to ask some details about the situation and also about Nat but he said that she was not there..so I tried calling her but she did not pick it up.
That was not like Nat, whatever the work maybe she never failed to pick up a call, I got frightened again about the situation.
I tried calling Nat again and again,
"Nat pick up the call, pick up, PICK UP, PICKkkkkk UP, damn it" ... But It was of no use. I must hurry.
Line dead
Disha : Mathew!! Mathew!! Shit shit the connection between me and Mathew also got disconnected, I asked the driver to speed up, They mustn't be found by him at any cost.
I heard some screaming noise and gunshots before the disconnection I hope they are not involved.Please God.. Please
Disha : (Tire screeching sound) thank you, keep the change sir...
Disha's POV,
Mat, Nat don't worry I won't let them hurt you.. Please hang on....
I opened the door calling their names with fear, Mathewwww, Nataa, But the atmosphere was quite a surprise. It was calm and cool.
Seeing me Mathew called, "Ah Disha?? come in.. Come in". I came in and asked him, "Mathew are you alright? Where is he?. Calmly he asked me where is who?.
I really don't understand the situation,... I got scared and started to search the rooms.
Suddenly Mathew shouted," Whom are you looking for, hey Disha stupid. Why are you going inside my room? Hey fool stop that's my washroom..."
Thankfully No one was there, I thanked God (both smiling at each other ) and forgot everything for one sec then I realised no one was there and shouted, "huh!!! WHAT NO ONE IS HERE!!!.... (angry level 25%).
Again with a calm face he said," yes, no one is here and started to talk nonsense,
Mathew : Disha are you looking for someone?? Why are you making a mess in my home. Let me watch this series.. Ah where are my potato chips.. Hey Disha can you pass that bowl (angry level 50%) why are staring at me.. Hey why is your face turning red, are you feeling shy?? Ha ha ha I just asked you to pass the bowl...oh now I get even if you can't stand against my handsome look... Omg but am sorry Disha, my heart already belongs to someone. Maybe good luck next time( angry level 75%). But I can make an exception for you, since you are my friend. Ah what are you ready ha ha ha ha..
(Angry level 100 %) hey Disha why are you clenching your fist now... I was just kidding don't get mad.. Hey"
Disha's POV,
I got irritated by his silly jokes and threw the bowl near me, "how dare you!!" he started to cry in pain, "ouch! Ah!
Both started to quarrel,
Mathew: Disha you monster why did you hit me?? I told you, I was just kidding".
Disha: Mathew you split chin I'm gonna kill you today.
Mathew: WHAT KILL ME ??... Wait why?? Hey Disha if you don't wanna marry me just tell me don't use violence....
Disha: Why the hell did you call me you bone head?? You better have a good reason Mathew.
Mathew: Ah Disha do I need a reason to call you. After all I'm your best friend but I called you this time to ask a favor.
Disha: Favor??. Then why did you scream on the phone like someone was about to kill you...
Mathew: About that, I was writing a dialogue script for my next series. And yes I forgot to ask you, Can you teach me how to make that Indian sweet which you made on Christmas eve....
Disha: (Angry level boiling volcano) seriously Mathew, you asked me to come here just to ask me this recipe, (shaking his head in all directions) and this is your emergency....
Mathew: (immediately falling on his knees) disha please forgive me.
Disha's POV,
Suddenly there was a knocking sound on the door,
Mathew went to open the door thinking It might be Nat while I was cleaning the potato chips from floor which were scattered because of our fight. Suddenly I heard Mathew shouting,
Mathew : "Who are you guys??,
Disha's POV,
I started running toward the door, and I couldn't believe to see the person who was standing on the doorstep, I.. It... It's Taiga....
Taiga was standing right in front of me, Even though I know he's gonna hurt Mathew I was able to do nothing.
By watching me he took his pistol from his back of the belt, my body became cold since I know what was coming, I knew he ll try to kill Mathew after seeing us together so I tried to tell him,
Disha: "Taiga it is not whaa" .... (Gun shot sound)
but it was already too late, he shot Mathew's left leg, my body automatically turned to move away like it always did, running from problems was not new to me, but even though Mathew was shot he was trying to save me even in that pain,
Mathew: Ahhhh, ahh ahh Disha run, call the cops...GO
Those words stopped me from moving. It reminded me who I was in the past,why people have to die to save a person like me.
But that one second of hesitation, took my life to the beginning like a sand clock. And this time there is no running or returning back.
