Danger

Tara started packing her bags. She came downstairs. Ibrahim was standing in a nervous state. He came in front of her.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

His voice cracked.

Tara looked at him with a blank face.

"Because you failed as a husband"

She immediately walked out of his mansion. He ran after her. He held her bag.

"Give me a chance to prove myself.. didn't you see how I treated that Prajakta?"

"This is the main issue Ibrahim...you never tried to look deeper inside you...you always tried to prove your love like this..but the real enemy between us is you..."

She said.

"I'm sorry Jaan...I won't do anything from today, You will never see me jealous from today..you can talk to anyone...okay let me do this...you want to talk to Dharmesh? Let me call him wait...we can invite him to the dinner party"

Tara's heart ached after seeing his state but she has to do this. He needs to get this point that he has done wrong things. Still he is hurting people around him.

"Ibrahim stop...You cannot change my mind"

Suddenly he grabbed her harshly and pulled her closer.

"I can fucking stop you if i want"

He gritted but at the same time he realised that he is again messing the situation. He immediately left her and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"I'm sorry.... I'm begging you, please don't leave me like this... I'm extremely sorry Jaan"

He literally joined his hands together.

Tara averted her gaze. She started to walk.

"Tara... I'm going to kil myself if you leave me like this"

He shouted out.

She stopped for a second. Her heart was beating in fear. He won't do it right? She didn't look back and kept on walking.

She gasped hard after hearing the gun sound. She immediately looked back and the sight made her go numb in fear.

She ran crazily towards him. He has shot himself on his abdomen and preparing to shot himself for the second time.

He is bleeding uncontrollably. The sight was too gruesome to watch. She doesn't know what to do. She cried out in fear.

While Ibrahim was standing so calmly. He was only sweating but not a single line of his face is trembling. The pain can be seen only in his eyes.

Tara stared into his eyes in panic. Then her eyes fell on his abdomen. Its bleeding. The blood has covered the ground.

She took out her phone with her trembling hands.

"Sakeeb...Bhai..Bhaiya..come..he...is..blee....bleeding..."

Her voice is raspy. She is shaking in extreme fear. She removed her dupatta and immediately pressed on his abdomen. Within a minute the piece of cloth got wet in blood.

"Please...sit...please...."

She cried while making him sit in the garden comfy.

"You are not leaving me right?"

His question terrified her more. She looked at him unbelievably.

She immediately shook her head. He is still holding the gun.

Sakeeb reached at the mansion. He was also terrified after seeing this. But he is a calm headed man. So he immediately got Ibrahim admitted to his personal hospital.

........,.....................

"So he is in charge of the safety of Dehradun?"

Rishi asked Nidhi.

"Yes...my uncle Giridhari is very close to Nawab Saab"

"Oh I see...by the way are we going to see the border of the city?"

Rishi asked excitedly.

"Yes..but this is confidential..you wanted to see a great view, that's why I brought you here.. don't say this to anyone at the hospital"

Nidhi said.

"Okay mam"

He smiled broadly. Nidhi looked at him. He looks so different when smiling.

"So? When we will get the best view?"

Rishi asked.

"At midnight"

"I'm so excited for the night"

They looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

.............................

Ibrahim opened his eyes. His face scrunched in pain.

"Ammi?"

He got shocked after seeing Saba.

"Tara called us...She told us that someone tried to kill you"

Saba wiped her tears.

"Where is she?"

He asked in tension.

"She is packing the bags"

"What? She is still planning to leave?"

Saba frowned.

"Yes we all are leaving...You have to go away from Dehradun for a few days"

"Why? Who took this decision?"

He got irritated.

"I took the decision.. I can't leave you here like this..look at yourself..you have been shot on the abdomen"

Ibrahim closed his eyes in irritation.

"I'm not going to leave Dehradun"

He said.

"Yes you are..."

Tara entered the room.

Ibrahim looked at her once and then he lowered his eyes.

Saba got shocked after seeing Tara's control over Ibrahim. This thing didn't settle well with her. Noone has ever got this much control over his son, except Daniyal. But this girl has climbed a lot within these few months.

"Okay..maybe it's better"

Ibrahim lay down and closed his eyes.

Saba was dumbstruck. She looked at Tara in shock. She still has trust issues with this girl. She has seen so much hate in her eyes a few months back.

Saba walked out of the room.

Ibrahim was looking at Tara in guilt. He is actually feeling scared from inside. What is she thinking right now?

"Stay with me"

He said.

"No...I have work in the hospital"

Tara replied in a calm tone.

"At this time?"

"Yes"

With that Tara walked out of the room.

Ibrahim felt so fucked up. He closed his eyes. Sakeeb entered at the same time.

"Sakeeb, what is she thinking right now? Can you tell me?"

Sakeeb sat on the sofa.

"I don't know sir...Maybe she is scared"

"She is ignoring me Sakeeb..."

His voice felt so helpless.

"Why did you do it sir? I mean... considering your past behaviours, sheย  must be thinking....."

Sakeeb stopped in hesitation.

"Thinking what?"

His voice become louder.

"She is thinking that you are a psycho"

Ibrahim's eyes widened.

"Get out Sakeeb"

"Sorry sir"

Sakeeb left the room.

Ibrahim was horrified.

"I'm not a psycho...Damn it"

He lay on the bed hopelessly.

..,...............

"I think you shouldn't have come with us...who will take care of the mansion?"

Saba said to Tara.

Tara looked at her in confusion.

"You stay here...We will take care of Ibrahim"

"Aunty, i don't think he will go without me..."

She replied in short and moved out of the hospital. Saba looked at her way angrily.

........,..............

Tara arranged the files in Nidhi's room. Nidhi has gone for a holiday. She will come back after a week.

Tara grabbed up some wasted medicines and shoved inside the dustbin. Suddenly she stopped. She bent and picked up a medicine. She was shocked after seeing this medicine. It's a kind of drug.

Nidhi is taking drugs?

Tara sat on a chair abruptly.

"Hey Tara, won't you leave?"

Parul entered.

"Parul, do you know who ordered last month's medicines?"

"Dr. Nidhi..no, sorry....Rishi has ordered the medicines...now he works under our Dr. Nidhi"

Parul winked.

Tara was shocked. So many possibilities arise inside her mind.

"Where is Rishi?"

"I don't know...maybe he took a leave because Dr. Nidhi is on holiday"

"Okay..you go..I have some other works"

Tara walked away. She unlocked the small cabin of Rishi. As soon as she entered the room a sharp smell made her go numb. She is very much well aware of this smell. A man used to stay in their slum. He has many snakes. He was a snake charmer. He earned money by showing the games of snake. Whenever Tara entered his room, she find this smell.

"Why your room smells like this?"

Little Tara asked the man.

"Because my room is poisonous bitiya, you shouldn't have come here...the snakes are breathing all together in a single room, that's why my room is poisonous and this is the smell of poison"

Tara felt so much suspicious. She looked around the room. She didn't find anything. Who is the Rishi? Is he giving the drug to Nidhi?

Tara got worried. She immediately called Sakeeb.

"Sakeeb bhaiya... something is wrong here...I think this man who works in our hospital is dangerous..can you please come to the hospital right now?"

Tara disconnected the call.

Sakeeb reached within a few minutes. Tara told him everything about her suspicion. Sakeeb also got tensed.

"I think we should tell this Nawab Saab"

"No, not now...I think it's better that he should stay away from Dehradun for few days..He is already injured"

"Okay fine..I will take care of this matter.. but, are you going with him?"

Sakeeb asked.

Tara closed her eyes. She doesn't know what to do right now.

.................................

Ibrahim got inside the car. Tara will not come with him. She didn't show up for hours. How can he live without her? At the same time he felt that she needs some space. Forcing her will only make this situation worse. Already he is in guilt for doing that insanity last night. He had promised her that he will not harm himself but he broke that promise last night.

"She is hating me"

He whispered.

"Sir, can we leave now?"

The driver asked.

Saba is coming by another car.

"No... I'm not leaving Dehradun.. I'm not a puppet or I'm not scared of my wife..she can't order me like this"

He was about to open the door but stopped after seeing Tara coming towards his car. His eyes widened and he immediately moved back.

"Ouchhhh"

He held his abdomen in pain.

Tara got inside the car. She looked at him in concern.

"Is it paining again?"

She kept her hand on his abdomen. He was too shocked to react. He didn't expect her to come.

"Are you really coming with me?"

He asked.

Tara nodded her head.

A broad smile appeared on his lips. Within a second he wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his head on her chest tightly.

And the next second he started sobbing.

Tara was absolutely dumbstruck. He was crying so much. The driver was also shocked after seeing this. The man who can make anyone piss on their pants is crying like this by hugging his wife. The driver started to sweat after seeing the sight.

"Bhaiya, let's leave"

Tara said.

The driver immediately started the engine.

Ibrahim was crying has increased tension times.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Jaan"

His muffle voice is coming.

Tara finally wrapped her arms around his head. She started rubbing his back gently.

"I broke my promise...I don't deserve you"

He was continuously repeating the same words. Tears also gathered into Tara's eyes after seeing him like this.

After a good minutes, his crying came in control. He lifted up his face. His whole face has turned red. Tara wiped his face with her dupatta carefully. He closed his eyes and fresh tears rolled down.

"Don't cry Ibbu"

She said with a small smile.

Ibrahim also smiled.

"How can I change myself? I really want to change Jaan..I want to be a perfect husband.."

Tara felt so much affection for him right now. Really this man is something! At one point he becomes so ruthless and in the next second he turned into a kid.

"Noone is perfect Ibrahim...I love you and i just want you to love me back.."

She said while holding his face.

He immediately moved to kiss her but Tara showed the driver. Ibrahim pressed a button and a partition got created between them.

Tara looked at the system in amusement. But he didn't give her any further time and sealed her lips with a passionate kiss. Tara kissed him back. They both kissed harder by grabbing each other.

He moved back after taking a good time in kissing her. She wiped his face carefully. She started kissing his face so tenderly. He cherished her lips through all his soul. He lay down by keeping his head on her chest. He was not fitting in the car. Tara chuckled after seeing this big man like a baby.

She started caressing his hair. He soon fell asleep. He is now snoring a bit. Tara kissed his hair in affection.

But again something popped in her mind. She took her phone and started typing.

Mam, I don't know where you went for your holiday..I just want to say you one thing...I have some suspicion on Rishi..I feel he has some motives. I found a drug from your room today. Please mam, stay safe..and don't forget to contact Sakeeb if you sense any kind of danger.. I'm sending his number..

Tara pressed the send button.

.......

Nidhi's phone blinked with the text.

Rishi took the phone. He read the text carefully and then he deleted the text. Then he kept the phone on the table.

Nidhi entered the room with a smile.

"We are leaving at midnight...are you excited?"

She asked him.

"Absolutely"

Rishi said with a smile.
