After reaching the residence, Alex was staggered to witness the corpse. “What the hell did you do?” Ryan was relived a bit with his brother’s presence. Ryan narrated what ever happened. And finally he gave the diary to him.
“Ryan, have you read this diary?” “Yes I did, the one who is behind this smuggling is Prof Khurana. He’s been selling the body parts patients to others without their knowledge. And he started this business after killing his wife for money, after her death he sold her body parts, and the most unfortunate thing is Yash was also a part of this conspiracy.”
“The first thing is we’ll budge you and your old pal Yash into my safe place. And tomorrow I’ll get the police along with me because it’s not safe to leave the corpse here.” Alex assured him in a convincing tone. “What about Khurana?” Ryan asked with an innocent expression. “Don’t worry; I’ll make sure that he lives the rest of his life behind the bars.
Ryan came out of the Garage. His legs were trembling; hardly was he able kept his eyes open. He got back into the house. The air inside the bedroom was terrifying; his trachea didn’t allow him to breath. However he sat there for an hour.
The time was 11:30 PM. Ryan was self-assured; only one person will help him out, His brother Alex. Alex was an IPS officer. Because of him Ryan always used to get into Brawls but this time it was steep blunder. Without a second thought Ryan called his brother.
“Alex here, Whos this”
“Bro, I’m Ryan speaking, I want to meet you now.”
“Hey Ryan, where are you? And is everything alright?”
“No bro, I’m in a great danger. I want you to meet me. You’re the only one on the earth whom I can trust.”
“First tell me where you are.”
“I’ll tell you in detail but first you reach here and don’t let Ma n Pa know about this.”
“Don’t worry I’ve been saving your butt since childhood, I’ll reach there in 15 minutes.”
Yash tired to untie himself but he was tied like an animal. He gave up because it’ll go in vain if he tries to resist more.
“Alright, Ryan I’ll tell you why”. Abruptly ryan punched on his face screaming “Why?”
“Cool down buddy, if your break my jaws then it’ll be more painful for you.”
“Speak out”
“Before that I was to have a glass of water.” Yash demanded.
Ryan returned with a bucket filled with water, he speckled the whole container on him.
“Now speak out why did you do this?”
“Well if I put it in a single it would bother you to understand the reason. I’ll tell you in detail.”
“I can’t waste my life with you, you don’ have a goal, or interest in your career. Prof Khurana offered me a scholarship only if I retrieve that diary from you. But I wonder how come he knew about this?”
“You son of a B*^*^*, Khurana is behind the selling of the body parts, His actual name is Carter Slade.” Ryan Said showing him the Note in the Diary.
After the whole story Ryan went nearer to yash “I can’t belive you did this.” He gave a solid blow, which knocked down his conscious.
Ryan got hold of Yash’s neck. He punched him on his face, “Bastard why the hell did you do it?”
Ryan Pranced on him like a lion, he kicked him until yash lost his conscious.
After an hour Yash found himself fixed to a chair. He looked around; he wasn’t sure where he was. He looked for Ryan, not anything but darkness. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps, they were approaching him. Yash at other hand was sweating, his cloths got drenched.
“Why did you do this Yash?” Ryan Asked
“Ryan, let me explain you…”
“Nothing left for me to trust you now.”
“You’re jumping to a wrong conclusion, what made you to say, that I’m responsible for his death.”
“No your not, you were behind me for that diary.” Ryan glared at him.
“I’m your best friend, you can’t do this.” Yash exclaimed. “I was here to help you.”
Ryan smirked “Nah! You were never, you just trying to show yourself.”
Yash started laughing….
“You are a dumbhead, but I’m surprised that you’ve caught me.”
“That should be my line yash, I’m surprised. You backstabbed me. You told someone about our hideout, and who is it.”
Yash understood, it’s of no use to give any further explanation. He was caught finally. “Fine I’ll tell you the reason.”
Ryan came out of the internet café, as he walked towards the house he saw yash. It looked like yash wasn’t on foot he was crawling like a toddler. Ryan wondered why it took so long for that idiot. He approached him, “Hey yash you fata*^*^. Why did take that much time?”
Yash was shocked to see Ryan “Ryan I told you not to come out the room, why are you here?”
“I was getting frenzied up there so I came out for a walk.”
“It’s not good for us to hang out lets get in”
As they got in to the room, the floor was polished with red color. As they got into the bedroom, they witnessed Raul’s dead boy in a pool of blood. The total house was vandalized. Ryan moved nearer to the dead body, there was a slash on his throat. Yash puked looking the horror.
“Ryan lets move out before cops reach here. It’ll be big problem if anyone spots us.”
Ryan looked at yash with an atrocious face……You BASTARD!!
After the conversation with Prof. Khurana, ryan and yash decided to stay an Raul’s house. Ryan was convinced that he can count on Raul. Raul is Ryan’s classmate as well as childhood companion. He had a meek personality which made others to take over him. Many times Ryan used to sort out Raul’s delicate problems. And also he used to bully him at times. However Raul was always ready to lend a hand to Ryan with his Exams or whenever he had a trouble at home.
After the talk, they hired a cab from the hospital, to reach as early as possible. It took around half an hour for them to get there at Raul’s room.
Ryan called out as he opened the gate “Hey Raul, how are you dude?”
Raul’s was anticipating his presence, but he didn’t guess yash’s being there too.
“Oh! Even yash is also here. Don’t tell me Ryan you’re pulling Yash into your unamusing venture.” Raul tittered.
“What do you mean be unamusing venture? Yash asked with a cynical expression.
“I was just kidding, nothing like that. Couple of days before, I met his brother. He told me Ryan went to some college tour, and I understood, this idiot is up to something.”
With an underbred tone yash said “As clever as you are Raul, that’s the reason your class topper.”
“Now don’t make a mountain out of a molehill yash.”
Ryan barked “enough of your mockery, I’m starving.”
Yash interrupted “hey I’ll get something to chomp; you two have a good time.”
Both Raul and Ryan settled, but Ryan whispered “Is it safe to go out now?”
“Look Ryan, nobody noted me along with your, infact you shouldn’t move out.”
Ryan accepted “alright, but hurry up I’m starving”
After Yash left Ryan Sat infront of Raul’s PC. “Hey Raul, Do you got net connection?”
“No dude it’ll take a month for me, I know you can’t live without facebook. I got plenty of movies and other collection you can watch it”
“Hell with those, is there any cyber café nearby?”
Ryan moved like a ravenous devour to reach the doorway, but someone clasped his right hand. He persisted to move further, but it was firm enough to impede him from moving. He glared at the individual footing behind him.
It was prof. Khurana, he was flabbergasted to glimpse him. Prof Khurana, despite being in midfifties, still managed to maintain an athlete physique, his tallness was approximately six inches. He stood like an erected pillar.
Prof Khurana was solitary of the senior most faculties in Ryan’s university he is a cranium of Biological sciences section. He often visited the Medico institute for his research or to give seminars to the sprouting young ones.
Ryan never used to be present at his classes; Prof Khurana contemplated him as an imprudent, reckless student who has no potential to plan his career. He considered him like a cloud moving aimlessly without a direction or purpose. There were many occasions where Ryan had provoked him with his dense attitude in the class.
“What’s your hurry Ryan?” Prof Khurana asked.
“I would appreciate if you leave my arm” Replied Ryan with an uncouth tone.
“You never change with that attitude of yours; nevertheless I wonder what are you doing here?”
“That not concerned with you sir. May I take permission to leave now?”
Yash hurried back to the reception, he sighted Ryan with Khurana. “oh god! Why the hell that muggy prof. is here. Ryan please control yourself, I know your detest his lecture in school” He watched unmistakably, Ryan was glaring at Prof Khurana straight into his eyes like bull geared up to strike, he wasn’t even blinking. And Prof. Khurana with his cynical tongue, made Ryan angrier. The ambiance between the two became bitter. Until Yash’s intrusion brought an end to it.
“Hello sir, how are you?”
“Hey Yash, nice too see you buddy, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me that you’re with this little horror”
“I’m sorry to say but I am with him, yesterday he injured his leg while playing soccer. So I had to stay with him”
“Oh so how are you now Ronaldo? Prof. Khurana asked sarcastically
“Better than before and if you mind we would like to head off now” Ryan knocked at him
Ryan left without signaling to Yash, Yash was worried, this jerk is going again with his abnormal manner.
“Sir, I shall make a move, it was immense pleasure to meet you here.” Yash said in a humble way.
“You’re a good kind natured person, I wonder why do you fool around with that disrespectful brat. He’ll wreck you one day” Prof. Khurana whispered with a warn expression.
“Thank you sir, but he is my best friend and I can’t let him go, I know he is ill mannered but he’ll get along one day”
“Whatever Yash, I’m least concerned about your pal; however you can attend my seminars here in the auditorium. It’ll be a great asset for you, I’m sure of that.”
“Thank you sir, I would love to come”
“Very well, we’ll meet again. Bye Yash”
“Bye sir”
Prof. Khurana and Yash parted from there, after couple of minutes………
“Hey idiot what the hell did you speak with him?” Yash yelled at Ryan
“Look I’m not fascinated to thrash out about that not getting any younger seed”
“What your problem with him any way?”
“He is an eclectic guy”
“Just like you Ryan” Yash chuckled.
“No way, I’m not like him” Ryan gazed at Yash.
“Ok let put an end to this, so what’s next?”
“We’’ll go to Raul’s room, the would be a better place to hide”
Yash rushed back to the ICU. “Dude get prepared we got to budge our A^*^* from here, I’m going to pay the bill.” …….The next moment Ryan began to pack the whole thing, his cloths, books. Within no time he got himself decent. It took him an utmost of 5 minutes. His face got brighten up, at last he‘s leaving this sickbay. He saw the next bed neighboring to him; an old lady was sleeping. She had a meek personality which explicit the psychological trauma she is going all the way through. He felt apologetic about her; he remembered, how audacious he was when he spoke about her to the chief security.
He knew that there is nothing he can do for her, before parting this place he left a box of apples at her desk with a message on that “Get well soon grandma”.
He continued staring at her, in the mean time Yash returned “everything is done, now we can disappear.” “Wait! Let me have a word with the nurse.” “Idiot it’s not time to hang around. The cops may arrive at any time, its healthier to shoot off before somebody stop us.” “Alright”
Both moved out of the ICU, they got into an elevator.
“Yash I was wondering how much did you pay?” “Well including food, medicines and the bill….the total was 16,749.” “What? From where the hell did you splurge that much?” “Whoa whoa! Don’t get excited, I can splurge as much as you want.” “What do you mean?” “Actually, I paid only 1000 bucks where as the remaining were counterfeit notes.” “What?” “Yes!” “Idiot now we are authentic crooks.” “Shut up! It’s all because of this unintelligent voyage.” “Very well, But tell me who gave you that much?” “Satar Bhai, I paid him 3000 and he gave me 18000 counterfeit notes.” “Didn’t they check the notes accurately? “I think the one sitting in the counter was a dumbstruck, he just counted the cash.” “And you got an opening to slip from this danger.” “Exactly”
They got down to the ground floor; Ryan got relived to see the foyer of the sanatorium. He paced up to reach; abruptly someone caught him from behind.
Yash began scrutinizing the papers and Ryan glimpsed the diary. He read few pages, that diary belong to……Yash nodded “dude its time; we got to go back to our position, as soon as possible.”
After few minutes together they returned to there places, fortuitously nobody sighted them.
The following morning, the entire infirmary body was in commotion. The chief security is missing from yesterday. Ryan was lying on his bed, he was eating fruit salad. All of a sudden yash came gaspingly
“I think we should make a move, its getting dangerous if he is found.”
“Chill dude, there is no way he’ll be found” Replied Ryan.
“What makes you say that?”
“I don’t know” said Ryan with nerveless expression on his face.
“Look I don’t care if you really want to your butt to get caught, but I’m not coming with you. Let’s skid out before the cops arrive.”
“Alright, even I’m getting mad in this ICU”
“Yosh” Yash blurted out.
Yash went to meet the duty doctor who was in charge. He insisted him to discharge Ryan. Looking at his desperation and also the condition of Ryan, he said “I don’t know why you guys want to leave, but still you should take care of yourself.”
(Ryan to himself) “At this moment I understand the significance of freedom.”
