Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Diya's pov

It was early in the morning. I was sleeping peacefully until I started feeling that my pillow was harder than usual. When I opened my eyes I found myself sleeping on Rudra's chest.

Raising my head a little bit I looked at his face. Unknowingly, I smiled seeing him. He was looking like a baby. I caressed his cheeks gently. God! What am I doing? I am admiring a murderer.

" At first ask him why he killed Virat bhai. He always said that Virat bhai wasn't a good man. Let him say his perspectives. Then decide if he is a murderer or not," my subconscious suggested me.

Ok, I will ask him today and without knowing the answer I will not let him go anywhere.

I sat back on the bed rubbing my eyes. I caressed my forehead for some time. I don't know why I was having a slight headache.

I forwarded my legs to the washroom and did my morning business. Changing my clothes I returned to our room. I noticed Rudra sitting on the bed leaning against the headrest.

His eyes noticed me but he said nothing as if he was lost in thoughts. I know that he was still upset about his father's matter.

Anyway, I want to know the truth about Virat bhai. I need to clear all my doubts.

" I want to talk with you about some matter," I cleared my throat to grab his attention.

He sighed," I know. It must be regarding Virat."

I blinked my eyes for some time. Did he just read my mind? Maybe.

" How do you know that?" I asked sounding surprised.

He chuckled at me," We are married for almost two months and I know you very well now. You want to know about Virat and want to re-open the case. But let me tell you one thing you won't find any evidence in our meeting room. Not even in Dad's study room. So, stop searching like a spy."

I was stunned to hear him. What the hell! He knew everything but pretended like he doesn't know anything at all!

" Ummm...you are...wrong... I was not....," I tried to deny that I was spying behind him.

Getting down from the bed he took a few steps forward. Crouching down to my level he brought his face near me. I cowered behind nervously.

" Just wait for some time, my spy wife. Let me freshen up first then I will tell you everything," he chuckled before stepping into the washroom.

My subconscious mocked," I came here to spy on him but he was ten steps ahead of me. He is really something!"

He is clever. That's why he is the leader of his gang. I still remember how he techniquely changed the video at the court! He is a clever fox.

After freshening up Rudra started getting ready to go out. He looked at Diya who was already staring at him for her answers.

He smiled and asked brushing his hair," What will I get in return if I tell you everything?"

" What do you mean? It's just some answer. Why are you behaving like we are doing some kind of deal," Diya sounded bored though she couldn't hide the anxiety in her voice.

Rudra winked at her," Don't panic. I will not ask you to have sex. I will ask a simple favour from you."

" What kind of favour?" Diya shuttered.

Getting near her, he grabbed her by her waist. He bent down to her level. Their eyes met. A pair of nervous eyes against a playful one.

" Your heart," Rudra smiled.

Saying that he licked her earlobe seductively. She stiffed in her place and felt like melting hearing his voice. She was losing herself hearing his demand.

" Did he actually ask for her heart?" She thought confusingly.

He chuckled noticing her confused yet stunned eyes. He was loving her different kinds of expressions. Leaving her waist he took a sit on the couch.

" It's ok. One day I will conquer your heart and body. Now come here and sit beside me," Saying that he patted the empty place beside him. Diya sat beside him silently.

Diya asked," Why did you kill Virat bhai? And why did you blame him always?"

Rudra rubbed his whole face for a few seconds and started explaining," Well, your Virat bhai was publishing wrong information about me and my Dad. He was spreading false news against us. Till then everything was ok. Because I don't kill someone for mere reasons. So, that's why I also gave him a warning but he didn't stop."

" Apart from our gang, there is another gang named 'Blue star' who was illegally doing human trafficking. Though I am not a saint, I never did business with people's lives," Rudra continued narrating. " So, one day I was informed that the 'Blue Star' gang was going to sell some young girls to another country for money. Police weren't aware of this fact. So, I went there with my other gang members to save the girls."

" That's when I came to know that Virat is involved with the 'Blue Star' gang. That day Virat escaped from my hand. But later, my patience level broke when he continued spreading false news about me that I was selling girls. Not only that but also he was directly involved with the ' Blue star' gang's leader who is after me like a mad dog."

" Your Virat bhai not only sold young girls but also he sold poor innocent women to brothels to make them prostitutes by trapping them saying that he will give them jobs in big cities. And from this business, he earned a lot of money. If you don't believe me then check his family's situation now. They have lost their only earning member but still, they are living luxuriously. It's all about Virat's money that he earned by selling girls. Not only first but also Suraj was involved in all this and that's why I killed them when they came into my clutch. Scumbags like them don't deserve to live in this society. And about your brother, he was so blind by his friend's love that he didn't understand Virat's motive. That's why your brother is still unaware that Virat was involved with human trafficking," Rudra explained his perspective.

When he finished Diya was already looking at him with wide eyes. She felt as if someone had dropped a bomb on her head.

She shook her head vigorously," I don't believe you. You are lying. Virat bhai can never do such horrendous things."

Rudra raised one of his brows," You believe it or not it's the truth."

She denied," No, it can't be true. Virat bhai was not like that."

" That was the reason that I wasn't ready to tell you the truth! Because you have zero ounces of trust in me," Rudra answered with a plain voice and left her alone.

He understood that Diya need some time to digest this whole truth. That's why he left her alone.

It was lunch when a maid came to my room to call me for lunch. But I was not feeling like eating. I was only thinking about Virat bhai and Rudra's words.

I still can't believe Rudra. I know Virat bhai since my childhood. He always loved me like his sister. Then how could he do such heinous things to other girls? It's unbelievable. I was in turmoil about whom should i believe. Virat bhai or Rudra! I don't know what to do or what to say right now.

I was thinking all this while sitting on the couch and staring out the window. My thinking was interrupted by a phone call. I noticed the caller id and it was Tina. My face turned into a sour expression. I wasn't in the situation to hear her babbling.

" Tina, right now I am not in the mood to hear problems about your relationship. So, please don't bother me. I will call you later," I said in one go after picking up.

I thought she will yell at me but surprisingly she did not yell. I heard her soft voice.

" Diya, I need your help. Meet me in the nearby park," She sounded worried.

I asked sounding concerned," Hey, what happened? What's the matter?"

" Please, Diya. If you consider me as your friend then meet me right now at the nearby park," She disconnected the call before I could ask anything further.

What was wrong with her? Why did she sound scared? I have to meet her right now.

I took a quick glance in the mirror. I was looking ok. So I just took my mobile and left the mansion. Well, I could not inform anyone about my leaving since I was in a hurry.

Right now I am standing at the nearby park where Tina told me to meet. I have been waiting for her for the last 10 minutes but she was nowhere to be seen.

I turned behind sensing a hand on my shoulder. I was startled by the sudden touch. I sighed in relief noticing that it was Tina.

" You startled me!" I slapped her arm.

Suddenly, she hugged me and I froze in my place. What's wrong with her?

" I am sorry, Diya. I am sorry. I was helpless. He will kill me if I don't do this," She apologized constantly.

Breaking the hug I questioned," What are you talking about? Why are you crying...

I couldn't finish my words when someone put a cloth on my nose from behind. I struggled to free myself throwing my hands and feet like a slaughtered animal but that person's grip was strong.

Then, I started to lose my senses. My eyes flickered and my struggle dimmed down. Darkness engulfed me before I could understand anything.
