Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Author's pov

Bombs were blasted in Uday Pratap's assembly.

Until the last news, at least 30 people are dead.

The honourable home minister is safe and sound till now

Nobody knows anything about the culprits.

The police are investigating.

These lines were the headlines on different TV channels. This incident became talked of the topic of the whole town. General people were terrified. No one was coming out of their houses. Section 144 was being issued in the entire city.

At hospital

Diya was in ICU. She was badly injured because of the impact. Her hands and feet were seriously wounded. The injury on her head was not that serious but still, she was unconscious. The doctors were still checking her.

Rudra was standing in front of the ICU like a motionless person. He was watching Diya's unconscious face through the small glass window. He never imagined in his life that he would have to see his sunflower in this condition.

Seeing her face a few drops of tears left his eyes. His heart was paining for her.

Rudra couldn't watch anymore. He walked near a bench and sat on it. He was broken. His little sunflower was in ICU and he couldn't even do anything for her.

He was sitting on the bench and watching the white floor like it was the most interesting place to see. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked at the person and found Akhil.

Seeing him, Rudra wiped away the tears with the back of his hands.

Akhil sat beside Rudra and said," Don't stop those tears, bhai. Let them flow. You will feel better."

Rudra said nothing to Akhil. He kept staring at the floor.

Akhil sounded sorry," I know bhai. You love bhabi a lot. Don't worry. She will be ok. She is a fierce woman. She is so strong. She will be fine."

Rudra knew that his sunflower was strong. She would fight. But, he couldn't see her laying on the bed as a motionless person. Rudra couldn't control himself anymore and hugged Akhil.

Akhil was shocked by Rudra's action. He never saw Rudra that much broken before.

Akhil cooed," Bhabi will be ok. Don't worry. Everything will be fine."

At Manoj's secret place

" You piece of shit! I told you to not harm Rudra's wife! Then how the hell she is injured?"

Manoj was yelling at one of his men grabbing his collar. Manoj was fuming in rage that Rudra was still alive because his good-for-nothing gang members set the bomb on Diya's car.

Manoj asked punching his face," Didn't I order you to set the bomb only on Rudra's car? Then how did his wife got injured? Didn't I tell you to check before setting the bomb? You motherfuckers!"

Manoj was behind all these bomb blasts. He wanted to kill Rudra but his planning went in vain. Manoj was beating his fellow gang members and saying only one thing," How is Rudra still alive?"

" Rudra was lucky," a voice said entering the room. Manoj looks at the person and found Dheeraj.

Manoj shouted," These motherfuckers can't do anything." Saying that Manoj punched one of his men.

" It was not their fault. I just investigated the whole matter. Indeed they set the bomb on Rudra's car. Unfortunately for us, but fortunately for Rudra that he is still breathing. But at least one of the Singh family members is fighting death. Rudra's wife is in the hospital. It's indeed good news for me!" Dheeraj said and laughed like a maniac.

Suddenly Dheeraj felt a punch on his face which startled him. Because of the punch his nose started bleeding.

Manoj screamed," Asshole, you are being happy seeing Rudra's wife in the hospital. Huh!! Didn't I tell you that you can do anything to the other Singhs? But not to touch Rudra's wife. Without fucking her I won't let her die."

A fire of possession was clearly visible on Manoj's face. Manoj punched Dheeraj again.

He grabbed Dheeraj's collar," Don't forget that I am a gang leader. You are still with me because you and I have the same motive. Otherwise, you would have seen death already. Moreover, you are still alive because you are a good technologist with crooked ideas. That's why I am keeping you with me. If you still try to harm Rudra's wife then I will kill you."

Dheeraj's face turned red. He was feeling like killing Manoj but he knew that he couldn't do anything now as he needs Manoj's men power to destroy Rudra. So, he decided to agree with Manoj for now.

Dheeraj said wiping away the blood from his nose," I am sorry. I shouldn't say like that."

Manoj rolled his eyes and asked angrily, " Our plan has failed. What's the next plan? From now on, the security will be too tight. We will not be able to reach them anyhow. What's the planning?"

Dheeraj was thinking something in his evil mind. Manoj was right. The security will be too tight from now on. Dheeraj wasn't finding any good plan to kill Rudra and his family.

Suddenly an idea popped inside his mind and a creepy smile formed on his lips.

Dheeraj said to Manoj," If we want to have Rudra in our clutch then we have to find his weakness."

This time Manoj laughed and said," You always amaze me with your ideas about Rudra's weakness! The women of the Singh family are Rudra's weakness. If we succeed to have the women of Rudra's family then we will surely have Rudra."

Dheeraj clapped his hand and said excitedly," Bingo!! Not only Rudra. Uday Pratap will also be in my clutch. I have also some unfinished business with him. Moreover, I have some questions to ask him."

Remembering Uday Pratap Dheeraj clenched his fist in anger. His dark eyes turned darker.

" I will kill both father and son with my own hand," Dheeraj mumbled.

Rudra's pov

I was sitting on the nearby bench and Akhil was trying to console me. He was saying that everything will be ok. But how?

My sunflower was laying on the hospital bed motionless. I was missing her smile, her tantrums, her scolding. Everything about her. When I heard the news from Lavanya that Diya was badly injured I felt like my soul had left my body. I was shocked. I become a statue for some time.

At that time, another bomb blasted into our assembly. I was in the middle of the danger zone. My bodyguards dragged me out of that zone. I was in too much shock that I couldn't even feel my bodyguards dragging me out.

Whoever had set the bomb in my car, his intention was to kill me. I wish I was there instead of my sunflower. At least she would still be fine now.

I will not spare the person who is behind this incident. Was it Manoj? Maybe it could be also done by other party members. I have to find out as soon as possible. As he/they had attacked me once then they/he will surely try to attack again. I have to use that chance to catch that bastard.

I was thinking all this and the tension regarding my sunflower was increasing. I hope she will be fine. Hey, God! Please help my sunflower to recover.

I was totally lost in praying for my sunflower when I noticed that the doctor came out of the room. He walked towards me. I was clearly seeing his worried face.

He stood in front of me and before he could say anything I asked," Is she ok?"

" We are taking care of her burned hands and feet. Her injury on the head is not that deep. She will be fine if we take proper care of her. But sir........." he stopped and looked at me with pity face.

" But, what?" I asked him yelling. I can sense that something was wrong.

" But, sir. We are sorry that we can't save the pregnancy. The child is already lost," those words left his mouth, and I felt as if someone stabbed my heart with thousand daggers.

She was pregnant with my child! Our child! Our first child died before seeing this world! That innocent life was killed in its mother's womb!

I couldn't tolerate it anymore and fell to my knees. Akhil was with me. He was trying to console me. I have lost my unborn child. I always planned for babies with my sunflower. After giving this blessing God snatched this happiness from me.

I was feeling like killing myself. What was the point of being a ruthless gangster when I couldn't protect my wife and child? I failed her.

I was cursing myself and God when my phone started ringing. I was not in any state to receive the call but I have to receive it. It could be an important call.

I picked up the call and heard someone laughing. Hearing the laugh my blood started boiling. Here I was mourning for my dead child and this motherfucker called me to irritate.

I will just cut the call when the voice said," You are lucky that you are still breathing. I was very eager to see your funeral. But, my bad luck. Next time I will arrange everything smoothly. Don't worry."

I wondered that it must be done by some rival who is after me. I think I was right.

" Bastard, if you are brave enough then come face to face. Then I will show you what's called luck," I shouted.

He laughed again," So angry! Huh! I have to admit that you are really Uday Pratap's son. Don't worry little brother, we will meet very soon."

Wait, what? Little brother! What's this bastard mean?

" Asshole, you don't know that you are playing with fire. What do you mean by little brother?" I asked sounding confused.

" Ask your father. Maybe he can give you answers to your questions. Goodbye, little brother," saying that the person disconnected the call.

Whoever he is I have to find him before he takes any action. I looked at Akhil who was afraid seeing my angry red face.

" I am giving you a number. Trace its location and grab the owner of this number. I want that bastard in my clutch just in 24 hours," I ordered Akhil. He didn't waste any time and left the place immediately.

It was not time for pranking. No one dares to prank me. Whoever this person is, he has surely some connection with Dad. I have to talk to dad.

But first, I want to see my sunflower's recovery. I will take care of her always. I was wondering does she know about her pregnancy. If she knew, then she must have told me but she didn't say to me anything. That means she is unaware of her pregnancy. When she will come to know about everything I wonder how will she react!

Thinking all this I was feeling pressure on my mind and heart. My heart was crying for my unborn child and my unconscious sunflower.

I was feeling thirsty. I need to drink some water and also pour some water on my head. My head was hurting.

I will just take a step to go when someone grabbed my collar from behind and said angrily," Bastard, tell me. What have you done to my sister?"
