Shades of Insane Love

3

  With secret door Neha reached to her father's warehouse, where she saw Rajeev, she runs towards him and hugged him tightly, when Rajeev sees tears in her eyes, he becomes panic and he cupped her face and wiped her tears

"What happened, little girl? Why are you crying and what are you doing here? You know how dangerous this place is, and who told you about this place?" Asked Rajeev with a worried face but Neha started crying more badly. Rajeev made her sit on his lap and pat her head lovingly. Neha clutched his shirt so tightly and started narrating the whole thing that happened at the mansion with her fearful eyes.

"Mom......dad.......I.....want......to......go.

back........Rajeev......uncle............please...

take......me back......... I want my mom...

........and dad." Said Neha with bitter sobs. Rajeev hugged her tightly, he knew something bad happened to Nandini and Vikram that's why they sent their precious Princess here.

Then Rajeev’s gaze fell on her hands, she was fisting some paper in her hand very tightly, he slowly took the paper from her hand and he carried Neha along with him. Then he runs towards the helipad with Neha.

Neha starts screaming and crying badly but Rajeev knew if Vikram sent her here, then it means he is no more. So, he quickly took Neha to the chopper and made her sit in it.

After two hours later they reached Delhi, Rajeev carefully carried Neha in his arms and took her to his flat. He can't risk her life that's why he took her to his old flat, he knew every gang is searching for her like the hungry wolves. He quickly laid her on the bed and called his wife and told her to come there.

Rajeev opened the letter and started reading it. The letter crumbled very badly. Rajiv hands are trembling so badly, he has tears in his eyes, he is trying so hard to control his anger and emotions, vikram was not only his friend but he was his partner in crime since childhood, they were childhood buddies, they always stand with each other like true friends, even some people called them brother.

Rajeev closed his eyes and his friend appeared in the darkness, Rajeev held little Neha tightly in his arms.

With close eyes Rajiv said : I am not your true friend Vikram, I am not your true friend, you always protected me and today when you needed me the most, I wasn't there with you, please forgive me buddy, please forgive me " said Rajiv with loud sobs but Vikram walk near his friend and made him stand up on his feet.

Vikram wiped the tears of Rajiv and smiled, "I never thought that one day ill see tears in your eyes," said Vikram and Rajeev hold Vikram tightly,

"I won't let you go, please come back Vikram, I need you , we need you, your daughter need you so badly, don't leave us like this, I won't forgive myself, " Rajiv begged his friend but Vikram pat the back of Rajiv.

"Remember when we were kids, we used to take vows of our friend, you always have my back Rajeev, I'll always guide you for everything. I'll always stands up for you in the form of my little princess. Take care of my little girl, whenever you'll see her, you'll see me in her beautiful tiny eyes.

My little princess is so small and so innocent for this cruel world, promise me that you'll make her ready to fight with this world. You'll train her so she can take stand for herself. Promise me that you'll keep my daughter save till your last breathe. Promise me Rajeev " yelled Vikram so loudly and Rajeev wife start shaking her husband.

Rejeev opened his eyes and look at his wife, his wife is also so shocked to see tears in the eyes of her husband, because paarul knew her husband has no emotions in him. He is a very cruel bastard. Paarul knew that her husband has good bonding with Vikram but she never thought that her husband will cry on the death of Vikram.

"What happened to you, you are crying Rajeev " said Paarul and Rajeev touched his wet eyes, but he don't care about his teare, today he lost his brother, he lost his best friend, he lost his everything with him.

Rajeev pushed his wife and opened that crumbled paper, his hands are shaking so badly but he made his heart stone once again to read the letter.

Rajeev,

When you get this letter, it's mean I and Vikram are not alive, Aakash attacked on our mansion and Vikram is on gun point, I know we can't make it. Vikram told me to leave him alone and come to you with Neha but my heart didnt allowed me that's why I am going back to my husband but I am sending my daughter to you, we only trust you Rajeev, do anything you want but please keep my daughter safe. Vikram trusts you like you are his own soul. You know we only have our daughter please take her away from this hell. I want you to give her all the love which I am Vikram gave her, I want you to make her your daughter. Our world is so dangerous and after my and Vikram's death your enemies will definitely try to hurt my little daughter, she is very little for this dangerous world.  Please try to keep my little angel from this hell hole.   I trust you, when she become big tell her that I and Vikram loved her so much,"

Nandini Vikram Singhania.

Rajeev caressed the head of sleeping Neha and walked out of the room. He starts chugging alcohol like a mad man. Vikram is his everything, they were childhood buddies. Vikram put his life in danger many times and today he lost his best buddy. Rajeev promised himself to keep his daughter safe till his last breath.

Vikram's death meantly hurt Rajeev so badly, it's so difficult for him to do anything at this moment. Rajeev really wants to lock himself and cry so hard on his destiny.

"Rajeev, what are you doing ?" Asked Paarul his wife in a concerned voice. Rajeev walked near her and hugged her in his embrace. "It's ok Rajeev, it's ok, I know you what you are feeling at this moment but it's not your mistake" Said Paarul, she heard the news on television, after all, Rajeev is f*****g Indian don.

"They all want her Paarul and I can't afford to lose her, I got a call from Aakash and that bastard spread the news of Vikram's death in the media, he even sent me the video how he killed Vikram and Nandini, and now he wants Neha for his sadistic revenge. She is the last memory of Vikram and I can't let ayone hurt her, bit how I'll protect her. I am useless without Vikram. " Said Rajeev and turned his gaze in another direction

"Vikram wanted me to make her ready for his throne but I cant do this because I can't protect her, Aakash killed Vikram and I wasn't there to protect him, then how I can save his daughter. I am so useless, I lost my best friend, " said Rajeev, his mental condition is not at all good.

But Paarul is in shocking state after hearing the words of her husband. She is looking at her husband like someone hit her with iron rod.

"But she is very innocent, Ji and Vikram bhai always kept her away from his business. I am sure she won't even know that she is the next heir of the mafia. And after everything you can't pushed her in your dangerous life, she is very small for all this. You should keep her away from all the mess and sent her away from this hell," Said Paarul with horrible expressions and Rajeev threw the scotch bottle on the floor. The glass pieces shattered on the floor. "I know but they all want her, they know she is with us and Aakash warned me, if I don't give her to him, he'll destroy us. Aakash already took all the empire of Vikram and now he only wants Neha, so he can take revenge from Vikram. No one is with is us, everyone went on Aakash side. It's difficult Paarul, it's so difficult to send her away from this hell. Neha has Vikram's blood, she is the last blood line of her family, and I have to make her ready for everything before they reached to her" said Rajeev and Paarul put her hand on her mouth in disbelief. "No Ji, you know what they'll do to her, she is our daughter now, we'll protect her." Said Paarul and grabbed Rajeev's hands very tightly.

Paarul don't want that and Rajeev can read the eyes of his wife.

"I know Paarul, but you know the mafia rules, we can't keep her with us without any relationship, not even for the sake of friendship," Said Rajeev and put his hand on his head due to frustration. "I know Ji but we can adopt her and keep her with us as our daughter, then they can't take her away from us," said Paarul and gave Rajeev a small smile. "We can't Paarul because Vikram is no more, who will sign the adoption papers, after her parent’s death we can't adopt her, our government is also looking for her, everyone wants her." Said Rajeev and walked towards the balcony, suddenly he got a call from his son and he received it.

Veer is the last hope of Rajeev,

Veer: "Dad, I am not coming back so don't send your bastard men to me, you know I have a life here and I don't want to come back. Why can't you under this small thing? Just stay away from me and my personal life, this time I let your men go away from here alive but Next I'll send third corpse of " Said Veer angrily and his father is not happy after hearing his dangerous voice.

Rajeev: "Keep your f*****g voice down Veer and I am your father and I need you here, I have a good deal for you, come as soon as possible. And if you don't come back you'll regret till your last breath" And without hearing his reply Rajeev cut the call.

Warm tears filled in Paarul's eyes, she starts shaking her head in disbelief, she is looking at her husband with a horrified face. "No Ji......................   you.................can't do this to her, she is so ........naive and ......she is so innocent.......... Ji, you ...........know............ our.............  son. He'll never take care of that little girl, he is not like you or Vikram bhai. You know how cruel he is, he won't hesitate before using her for his person reasons." Said Paarul but Rajeev hugged his crying wife, who is crying more bitterly on his chest.

"I know Paarul what I am doing and I'll do whatever I want to keep her safe, she is my responsibility and only Veer can save her. He has the power to stop everyone, I'll make good deal with him and I am sure he'll like my deal that's how we'll keep her save and make her stay with us," Said Rajeev but Paarul pushed him away angrily.

"No, I can't let you do this to her, you know our Veer, he is a beast Ji, you know him more than me, he'll demolish her, you can't give Neha to Veer,"  said Paarul to her husband with a horrible face.

Because Paarul knew her son, she knew how cruel he is, how horrible he is, Rajeev sent him to the USA when he was only fifteen, he killed thirty men when he was only sixteen and at the age of seventeen, he built his own mafia in the USA. He started doing girl trafficking, drug dealing, weapon trafficking, and everything which no eighteen  year boy can think . He is an animal in human skin. He never thinks before doing anything, he loves to hurt people, especially the innocent one. He is a heartless, merciless, ruthless and a cruel man.

"Shut the f**k up Paarul, we only have one son and do you have any better plan if no, then zip your f*****g mouth. He is only one who can protect the last blood line of Vikram and I'll do anything to keep her save. I have no choice and I already made the decision," Yelled Rajeev and Paarul angrily walked away from there.

Paarul started crying for Neha because she knew her son, he was not like other people, since childhood, he was a hot-headed, bad-tempered, and very aggressive boy and now he became a very powerful animal no one can define his cruelity,  she knows she can't stop Rajeev because she is helpless in front of him.

But paarul is in tension and anyone can see the tension on her forehead. She wants to stop everything. Paarul may hate Vikram and Rajeev so much but she always loved Nandini and Neha is Nandini's daughter.

Paarul always loved Neha as she is her daughter. Paarul walked into the room of Neha and she found her husband sitting beside little Neha, he is looking at her with so much concern and care.

"You are seriously planning to give this angel to our Devil son, " asked paarul to her husband once again and crossed her fingers. Rajeev signed "why can't you understand Paarul, I have no other choice. And I don't want to talk about this matter anymore. " said Rajeev in stonic tone and Paarul closed her eyes for a second.

In the morning when Neha woke up, she started yelling her parent's name. Rajeev tried to calm her down. She was crying uncontrollably. She wants her parents back. "My little Princess, do you want your parents?" Asked Rajeev very carefully and she cutely nodded her head. Even though Neha is a grown-up girl, her father Vikram kept her from the outside world and he raised her like a small child.

"Princess your father went on a trip with your mom and she told me to take care of you now will you listen to me?" Asked Rajeev to Neha and with teary eyes she nodded her head.

"Will you become my daughter and stay with me and Paarul until your parents come back and take you? Your dad also wants you to stay with us until he comes back " Said Rajeev, and Neha shook her head. " No, I don't want to stay here, I want my parents back, please uncle take me back to the mansion. I can't stay here. Someone attacked our mansion my parents are stuck there. Please take me there or they'll hurt my parents, please uncle take me there before they snatch my parents from me. " yelled Neha and started crying more badly.

Vikram may keep his little princess away from the mafia world but she grew up in a crime atmosphere. She knew mafia works and what is her Dad's business. She knew her parents are in big trouble and that's why her mom sent her here with Rajeev but now Neha wants to go back to her mansion, she wants to stay with her parents, she wants to save her parents.

She is clutching Rajeev so tightly and looking at him with tear-filled eyes.

Rajeev didn't know how to calm her so he cupped her face and wiped her tears with his thumbs. Rajeev throat and eyes again filled with so much. He doesn't understand how to tell the truth to Neha about her parents.

Rajeev wants to tell all the truth to Neha about her parents but he sealed his mouth when he saw the ocean of tears in her eyes. Rajeev hugged Neha but she is pushing him away.

Rajeev wore the cold expressions and look at Neha with hard expressions.

"Princess, I’ll take you back to your parents if you agree to stay with us as my daughter,  few men will come in the meeting and you'll tell them that you want to stay with me and Paarul aunt, or else I'll kill them you parents, I abducted them and they are with me. You know I have a big gun and I won't hesitate before hurting them. " Said Rajeev in a dangerous tone and Neha became so scared. She starts trembling in fear and hot tears start rolling down from her eyes.

When was 14 when she first time saw the murder in front of her eyes, Rajeev was killing some girl very brutally with a knife, Neha was traumatized after seeing that murder, she took six months to come out of that fear with the help of her father.

When Neha didn't give him any answer, he grabbed her jaws very tightly to scare her. "You'll stay with me and paarul and I don't want you to make any mistake in front of those men and if you love your parents, then you'll say what I told you to say in front of them. Do you understand, princess, " said Rajeev in a very cold tone.

But Neha is still sitting like a statue, she is not even moving. Rajeev is looking at Neha and he is scared what if Neha said something wrong in front of the mafia meeting, he wants to make her prepare for the meeting but after seeing her condition he has no stamina to do or say anything to Neha.

Rajeev gulped his pain and closed his eyes for a second.

Once again Vikram's image appeared in front of Rajeev's eyes and Vikram start encouraging his friend.

"You can make her ready Rajeev"

" Only you can protect her "

" please save my daughter"

" you promised to keep her save "

Rajeev opened his eyes and look at Neha. 

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

Rajeev and Vikram were kids when Vikram told the true meaning of friendship to Rajeev.

Vikram told Rajeev that :

A person is acquainted with many persons in their life. However, the closest ones become our friends. You may have a large friend circle in school or college, but you know you can only count on one or two people with whom you share true friendship.

There are essentially two types of friends, one is good friends the other are true friends or best friends. They’re the ones with whom we have a special bond of love and affection. In other words, having a true friend makes our lives easier and full of happiness.

Most importantly, true friendship stands for a relationship free of any judgments. In a true friendship, a person can be themselves completely without the fear of being judged. It makes you feel loved and accepted. This kind of freedom is what every human strives to have in their lives.

In short, true friendship is what gives us reason to stay strong in life. Having a loving family and all is okay but you also need true friendship to be completely happy. Some people don’t even have families but they have friends who’re like their family only. Thus, we see having true friends means a lot to everyone." Said Vikram and smiled at Rajeev who is listening to him very carefully.

"Do you want to hear the story" asked Vikram and Rajeev of course nod his head in yes.

"Once upon a time there was two boys named Ankit and Himanshu both were good friends and all grown up they completed their early education together. They both were moving to different countries for the sake of job so,they decided to meet at a restaurant for the last time. At the restaurant they both betted that after 10 years they both would meet at the same place and then they would see that who is more successful.

Time passed and the day came on which they booth had to met. The clock was showing 10:oo pm in the month of late December. A man wearing a over coat was waiting at the door of the restaurant. A light fall on him when he looked a policeman was coming towards him. Policeman asked to that man.

Policeman-Who are you?

That man-Sir i am a merchant waiting for someone

Policeman-for whom you are waiting?

That man-For my friend

Policeman-This is not safe here in night,you should leave now

That man-Sir i would leave after waiting for my friend

Policeman leave from there, after a while that person saw another person coming towards him.That waiting person said in hesitation are you ankit?

Reply come from him was a yes.

Then they talked and enjoyed their meal.

In conversation Ankit asked to that man who was Himanshu what he do

Himanshu-I am a gold merchant and you

Ankit-Just a manager of a small company

The conversation continued and in the conversation Himanshu realized that the person he think is Ankit is not ankit and he asked him in a very rude manner who are you.

After hearing this he jumped of himanshu and cached him. He was a policeman and he give him a note and hianshu read it, in the note

Hello Himanshu, i am ankit and i came to met you, i was the policeman you saw, when i saw you i found the most wanted smuggler instead of my friend. It was very hard for me to catch my own friend that’s why I leave and sent this officer to catch you." Vikram finished his story but Rajeev hugged Vikram tightly.

"I'll never betray you, I'll never cheat you. I'll always stay with you till my last breath, " said Rajeev, and Vikram pat his back.

"I know because you are my shadow, bro " said Vikram and they both hugged very tightly.

Give me your opinion on what you'll do if you were at Ankit's place.
