The Dragon and the King

Rash disappeared next morning. Zeeshu went to her house.

CPS invited him in. She left for New Delhi to attend a seminar. Its strange she refused to attend it earlier", he said.

" Does Jeet know", asked Zeeshu.

" Not yet but I will tell him. She looked tired. Is there anything wrong", he asked.

" No", lied Zeeshu. " Thanks CPS".

Then he booked a ticket to New Delhi.

Rash was indeed att the seminar. As Zeeshu spied on her( he had no scruples when it comes to Rash) he heard her sobbing in her room.

" Do hell with him", he said.

He got in.

" You here", she looked at him stupidly.

He hugged her.

" Keep crying", he said. " I want this pain out of your system".

She did just that. Wailed loudly. Beat Zeeshu's chest.

" I hate him. Hate you", she said.

He did not leave her.

After some time Rash drained out.

" Go bath. I ordered lunch. All junk", he smirked.

" Where are you living", she asked.

" Next to your room", he said.

" You stalker", she hit him playfully.

" Boy toy", he whispered.

She giggled.

" I like the sound of that", he said.

She ran inside the bathroom and locked it.

Over double cheese pizza he ordered she said,

" I am not leaving Chi Chi behind with him. Hell be damned".

" But you will leave interactions with him to me and not come in any direct contact with him in future", said Zeeshu.

" Are you with me then", she asked.

" Yes", he said.

" Ohh Zeeshu", she hugged him. " Deal".

Then she smooched him.

" Keep it up and I am spending the night here", he said.

She giggled again and his world lit up.

" I missed you", he said.

" Me too", she said between the kisses.

" Did he hurt you", he asked.

" Just my pride", she said.

" I should have killed him. I just left him with a broken bone or two", he said.

" My knight in shining armour", giggled Rash.

" Elope with me", he said.

" I may take up on that offer", she winked and then they stopped talking.

As she waved Zeeshu goodbye next morning Rash knew she was healed.

Meanwhile

Zeeshu has advised Kash not to speak a word about it to Chanchal.

" She would further slip into depression", he said.

" I am not stupid you assh*le. I wasn't going to do it", he said.

" Rash's fine and here is the passport. Give it to her. Ask Jeet's help and keep her away from dragon", said Zeeshu.

" Thanks", said Kash.

Zeeshu just nodded.

" He is such an assh*le", said Kash. " Those girls are gems".

" Well he has a method of doing things and she was the one interfering ", said Zeeshu.

" Am I still allowed to meet Chi Chi", asked Kash.

" Well that you have find out for yourself", said Zeeshan.

Meanwhile

Sumeet stood on the port of Mandva village a small territory in Northern city. There was a deal today. NOT HIS.

But that of Kana bhai; one of his traitors. He leaked information to police and caused him losses.

HE SPORTED BRUISES ON HIS FACE AND A LIMP FROM A BROKEN BONE..THANKS TO QURESHI...

It made him look more scary.

" Sahib", said Gangubai a fish seller;" my name should be a secret. I am loyal to you and so are other villagers. But we are scared".

" You need not worry. As soon as I spot him take your money and leave", said Sumeet.

" There are two police havaldars( watchmen) with him."

At that moment a motor boat arrived and Kana came out.

" Usman give Gangubai money and send her off with a female bodyguard. Gangu don't utter a word about this to anyone in village. There could be spies", he said.

" Ho Sahib", she said and left after collecting

her money.

" The deal is profitable", Kana said to Marshal a foreign dealer in arms. Dragon's loss is our gain".

" He is gaining grounds in the city", said Marshal. " And he is dangerous ".

Smart one thought Sumeet.

" Police and system is with us. The chief minister has some kind of vendetta against him. Ppower also comes with status not just muscle. Now lets wait for our cargo. Once it arrives and we collect it Dragon will taste his first defeat. And then we also have other moles in his office".

Sumeet listened quietly.

" No attack until the cargo arrives", he has ordered.

It arrived after fifteen minutes. Without a sound. A flag signal was given from both the sides.

Soon the boat was ashore.

" We got the big fish", said a fisherman who jumped down.

" Pirates", murmured Usman.

" Hmm", said Sumeet. " They looted the army ship. I got the intel".

" One order and the head counts are the number of bullets I need", said Manya.

" No I need to make an example out of Kana to instill my fear in everyone", said dragon. But yes Marshall is yours. His ony fault is just not being on my side. He deserves an easy death.

As they spotted ammunition dragon ordered

" Fire".

Marshall was first to die. Then pirates as Usman, Megha , Manya , Zeeshan and Sumeet opened fire.The dragon got a clean sweep in five minutes. Kana was caught alive.

" YOU DARED TO BETRAY ME", hissed Sumeet.

" I.I.."

" The status gives you power. Haan where is it now"? Sumeet looked menacing.

" Tie gi to the village pepul tree and slash him. Then leave bugs on him so that he gets a slow death and his screams should be heard by everyone in that village so that no one dares to betray me again", said the sragon.

Usman didn't waste any time as he started his work. Zeeshu followed the orders to point. Megha and Manya followed the dragon back to his Liar.

The Dragon was Merciless.

A day later

" Ghorpade is trying to lobby against you within the party", said Guru to Ranjeet.

" Hmm get his little red book out. Time to use information we have on him", said Jeet.

" This is incriminating ", said Guru. " You sure want to use it".

" ME OHH NO I AM NOT THAT PETTY.", he smiled dangerously. " Give it to the opposition. Make sure they use it wisely. Splash it all over the press".

" And by this what we get no one in party will trust you", said Guru.

" But they will fear me enough to stop lobbying against their leader.

Next Morning

Mr. Ghorpade was caught cheating his wife with an underage girl

Many teenage girls coming forward to blame Mr. Ghorpade.

The white collar paedophile..

Where is our society heading?

The press was full of news about Ghorpade's illicit tyrysts with underage girls.

The opposition exploded in assembly.

" Until this horrible man sits here we female leaders feel insulted to sit with him", said a female MLA. The ladies staged a walk out. Even the female MLA's from ruling party joined them.

A FIR was filed against Mr. Ghorpade as some of the girls were minors and this was a r*pe".

A meeting from center was organized.

" Ghorpade we need to expel you. Already you caused our image to fall", said the central minister ." And Oberoi be warned the HM does not wantvany other scandal".

" Sure sir", said a meek Jeet.

Ghorpade was expelled. His property siezed and his wife divorced him. He committed su*cide".

" YOU ARE RUTHLESS", said Guru.

" One needs to be ruthless Guru to win . If you are weak or unprepared you are eliminated.

The King was merciless too.

" His barsi is coming up", said Guru.

" I failed him", said Jeet. " Its my only regret. And I will live with it for the rest of my life".

" We all failed him. He deserves to live more than all of us", said Guru.

A mourning spread in their hearts.
