RagNa Love Stories: Ragna SS: Love&Revenge (A battle between lovers) Chapter 45

"Gauri Singhania has complained that your son Prem has kidnapped Mira. Where is the girl?" The police officer asks Sahil.

Sahil glares at Gauri angrily and Gauri ignores his anger and folds her hands waiting for his answer. "Look officer...Mr. Jay Shinde...You cannot question me now...You have got no proof that my son has done anything wrong and these chawl people are talking nonsense." Gauri stares at him and says "It's Gauri Singhania, Mr. Kapoor. Don't forget that you are now a person from the chawl and by talking about other chawl people with a disgust makes you the same. It's better if you cooperate with the police else they'll arrest you for supporting your son."

Sahil points a finger at Gauri and the officer says "Mr. Kapoor...Please answer and tell us where is your son now..."

"Officer, you are listening to these people? You don't know them but I know this woman very well. Her husband raped a girl of 12 years and killed her and she and her son kept blaming us for her husband's crime...They just want to lie and escape from their crime. I'm sure that her son only kidnapped Mira." Gauri looks angrily at Sahil and says "Don't blame my husband and son for your son's sins. You don't forge that Mira's parents know the truth and today the police also will get to know the truth."

Gauri turns to Mira's parents who keep crying for their daughter and she asks them to tell the police the truth. Mira's mother comes forward and Sahil warns her to keep silent. She moves backwards and covers her head in her husband's chest thinking if she tells the truth, her daughter would be killed by Prem.

Gauri places her hand on Mira's mother's shoulder to console her and she says "Today it's time to tell the truth Shaila. You know that my husband never did anything wrong in his life and you and your husband Mukesh have always respected him. Vikram is no more and his soul is still seeking justice."

She holds her hand and says "If today you don't tell the truth dear, his soul won't rest in peace and Prem who is the real culprit will never repent for his sins. He has kidnapped your daughter. Before anything happens to her, please tell the officer the truth. I promise you that nothing will happen to Mira. Raghav and Kalpana will save her but please tell the truth Shaila. Please..." Gauri pleads in front of Mira's mother.

Shaila walks towards the officer and wipes her tears saying "Yes officer. It's Prem Kapoor who has kidnapped my daughter because my daughter had seen him...seen him molesting and raping her friend Tina 5 years back. This man..." She points towards Sahil and says "This man and his son are the real culprits. They threatened us and made us leave the city and go...We have all this while been staying in Pune and few days back we shifted here...We dint know that the Kapoors would be here and today my daughter Mira said that she has seen Prem. I dint believe my daughter and now..." She holds her head with guilt and her husband caresses her back saying "Nothing will happen to our daughter, Shaila. She'll be fine."

************

Raghav asks Kalpana to wait inside the car as he halts a cab for them. It starts pouring heavily and hence he is unable to find an empty cab.

As time passes by, Kalpana gets down and thinks of helping him out. She waits for 10 minutes but doesn't find any empty cab or rickshaw.

"Please....Please let me go..." Mira says while closing her eyes and lying on the ground. Prem ties her hands and legs so that she doesn't run away and he leaves the basement to call Sahil.

The temple bells ring and Kalpana asks Raghav "There is a temple near by?"

Raghav looks at Kalpana and says "Yes, there is a temple in the next lane and dad's school too is besides it." He keeps mum for few moments and Kalpana places her hand on his shoulder to console him. She looks at him and says "Please control yourself Raghav. Your dad was a brave man and he will get justice. I'm sure."

Raghav hugs Kalpana and says "I love my dad Kalpi. It has been 5 years since he left this world and still...still I haven't been able to prove him innocent...He din't do anything wrong and that's why he hung himself as being called a rapist was something he couldn't bear. When people say he died of guilt, I feel like...I feel like bashing them up...Today if anything happens to Mira...I don't know but I'm feeling I've lost this battle."

Kalpana caresses his back and says "Mira will be safe Raghav and you only assured me this few moments back. How can you break so soon? Mira will be safe...What thing worries me is where can Prem take her and at this time of the night?"

Kalpana looks around and asks "Raghav, Tina was attacked in the school right? And Mira...Mira too was in that school...And...Did Prem take her to the school? Currently the school is the only place which is closed down after that incident...Prem will find it the safest place to keep Mira." Raghav looks at her in astonishment and wipes his tears saying "You're right...I told Sammy to check all other places where Prem might keep Mira but the school...I din't even think about it. Let's go fast and search there."

Prem tries to call Sahil but his number is unreachable. When his number finally rings, Sahil's phone buzzes as the officer asks him about Prem.

The officer grabs Sahil's phone from his hand as he tries to cut the call and the officer checks Prem's name flashing on the screen.

The officer warns Sahil to pick up the phone and set it on loud speaker. Sahil picks up the call and the officer signals him to ask where is Prem. "Prem...I am safe. You are OK too right? I am at home and..."

Prem screams from the other end "Dad, did you handle Mira's parents. I'm stuck here with this girl and she is continuously screaming." Sahil curses him from within to give out so much information.

Sahil tries to stop Prem from mentioning Mira's name over the phone and tries to change his words saying "Prem, you mean Priya right. Yes, I spoke to Priya's parents." The officer gets angry with Sahil for interfering and grabs the phone asking Sahil to inquire only about Mira.

Prem gets confused and says "Who Priya dad? I'm talking about Mira. I don't know where to take her now. This place doesn't have any lights too."

Sahil gets nervous as the officer asks him to inquire about Prem's location and he asks nervously "Where are you?"

"I told you dad. I'm in the old school of Mira. Please deal with Mira's parents and ..." The call gets cut off as the battery gets low.

The officer arrests Sahil for helping his son in his crime and they leave for the school to save Mira.

Kalpana and Raghav walk up to the school and Kalpana rushes inside to search for Mira. Raghav follows her and they start searching in each classroom for Prem and Mira. Kalpana decides to make Raghav search the classrooms as she checks the hall and basement.

Kalpana hears a crying sound from one room and stops to check who is inside.
