Sophia's Freedom

Chapter 88 : Why didn't you help me.

"Sorry girls, you have proved your worthiness to your dad... it's time we all relieve you of your misery"

I could see Uncle Banerjee was seated on the couch, but he was quiet. Darika and Garima were blindfolded and were seated on the floor. They probably had their hands tied behind their back too because they didn't make any effort to remove their blindfold. They were probably not even aware that Uncle Banerjee was standing there watching them.

"But Rahat kaka... what did we do to deserve this..."

I could see Rahat from the balcony, but he had a mask over his face and was carrying a knife in his hand. The mask felt like one of the joker masks from the circus. There was also a g*n tucked under his belt.

Aunty's hands were strapped to a chair and she was also blindfolded. She kept struggling, but she had a piece of cloth shoved inside her mouth.

"What did you do... you really had no clue what you did? You girls are so naive that you don't even know what you did wrong..."

"Kaka we are asking you politely now... you have 5 minutes to let us go and we promise that we will not tell dad anything... if dad knows about this he is going to kill you..."

Suddenly Rahat caught hold of Garima's hair and shouted "Uhhh... ordering me haan... you think I am that sissy Sophia that you just threat her that you will complain to your dad and he will come and punish you..." Rahat paused a little and then went and took off aunty's blindfold and shouted "I am going to teach the 2 of you a lesson you will never forget..."

I saw him take the knife and stab it on Garima's thighs. She cried in pain but was unable to do anything as her hands have been tied to her back.

"I... I... I... am sooooorrrryyyy kaka... I won't threaten you..." and I saw her lying on the floor trying her level best to pull her hand forwards so that she can caress her thighs... still crying she kept saying "I am sorry... please forgive me..."

All I could hear was Rahat shouting back "You girls think you are tough... haan..." and then he gave Darika a tight slap on her cheek.

The force was so strong that she fell on the floor. "Kaka... please we are begging you please don't hurt us... we are sorry..." she kept repeating the same words but Rahat turned a deaf ear and suddenly took out the knife from Garima and stabbed Darika's thighs. She kept wailing in pain but uncle and Rahat turned a deaf ear.

"What did we do to deserve this kaka... we always listened to whatever you asked us to do... we have always been your good kids..."

He caught hold of the collars of both the girls and made them sit on her knees. They seemed to be in a lot of pain but they were so terrified that they didn't have the courage to even say that they are unable to sit on their knees.

"You want to know why did you do to deserve this?"

"YES... Kaka..."

"ok fine listen... you may be a good kid but you are worth nothing to us... do you know Sophia is worth 400 thousand USD... the doctor was supposed to take her away today and for your stupidity, the doctor is mad at us..."

He got down and caught Darika's collar once again and began to slap her and shouted "How many times did we tell you not to hurt that Sophia to the extent that she reaches her deathbed... why do we always have to remind you the same thing?"

"But you always enjoyed it when we would hurt her...?"

"yup we did... but this time did we specifically warn you not to send him to the hospital?"

the girls didn't say a thing and then Rahat continued "ok... girls you know what... I will let you go... if you tell me the truth?"

"what kaka...?"

"We want to know who was the one responsible for sending Sophia to the hospital"

"We..." Garima suddenly interrupted and shouted "who else is here with you? don't tell me it's that b***h, Sophia?"

Rahat turned to look at uncle and then he nodded his head as if he was indicating him to tell them. Rahat stepped towards them and removed the blindfolds.

Both the girls spoke together still crying from the pain "Papa... it's you... please let us go... look what Rahat kaka is doing to us..." 

Uncle began to smile and continued "Well sweetie... the first one to tell him who is responsible for Sophia's condition gets to be free... while the other one..." and uncle paused, I took a closer look and saw that Rahat had placed his hands close to the private parts of the girls and was trying to touch them inappropriately. I could feel them crying and requesting "Papa... please tell him not to do this... it hurts..."

"fine dear... tell us the truth and you can go..." 

Aunty was whimpering but she was unable to say a word because of the cloth stuffed to her mouth. Uncle waited for a few minutes allowing the girls to say something but they didn't say a word. "Ok fine... since you guys decided to keep mum, we have no other choice"

"What are you going to do to us, Papa..."

"Rahat... let's do it..."

I found Rahat take off Darika's footwear and her shocks from both feet and then before the girls could understand he shoved it in Garima's mouth and then he did the same with Darika too and then said "you girls will remain like this till you tell us who is responsible for Sophia's condition."

Uncle picked up the knife from Rahat's and began to scratch aunty's hand with the knife. He turned to look at the girls and shouted "You love your mom right... if you love her, tell us who is responsible and we promise we will let you go"

The girls began to nod their heads as if indicating that they don't know. Aunty was also a tough lady and she remained mum too.

"Fine... seems like you girls are in no mood to tell us anything..." said uncle and then he stopped torturing aunty and went towards the girls and kissed them on their forehead and then picks up the g*n from Rahat's back and says "I hope you forgive me for what I am going to do" and before the girls could say anything, he shoots them on their thighs at the exact spot where Rahat had stabbed them earlier. As they began to wail and cooed in pain, uncle only reminded them that all the suffering would go away if they tell him the person responsible for Sophia's condition and went and sat on the couch.

Rahat again pulled them up and this time he was holding them by the hair and made them stand on their knees again. They were still cooing and finally, uncle did the inevitable he shot Garima right on her forehead, and there she was lying down on her own pool of blood. Darika was so terrified upon seeing her sister's body lying on a pool of blood beside her that she began to struggle but uncle didn't wait for long and shot her too. She fell to the ground right next to Garima.

Aunty was struggling and trying to get close to her daughters but she was helpless too. Uncle said "I know it was Aamaya and you who was probably responsible for what happened to Sophia..." and then he shot her too. He fired 3 bullets at her and said "you will probably die in a few hours too... I am going to the hospital and take away Aamaya and lock her up in some secluded place and then Rahat will tell the cops she is the one who has to kill the 3 of you and run away... after a few days I will disclose her location to the cops and she will be behind bars." he paused and began to laugh and said, "After selling Sophia off, I will have 400 thousand dollars... it will be enough for me to survive my life in a new country..."

And then the 2 of them left the house. At that moment, I saw a shadow of some cloud emerging from the lifeless body of Garima and began to float towards me and stopped right in front of me.

"Monika didi... I know I have wronged Sophia a lot... maybe a lot is a small word... we have hurt her countless number of times... but can you please promise me you will avenge our death..."

Suddenly the shadow changed her looks to resemble Garima and then I could see her bloodied face in front of me and asking me a question. "You always loved Sophia a lot... you have always taught him a lot of good habits... but what about us... we were younger than you isn't it... you could have avoided my death if you had also taught us to be a good person instead of constantly bullying us at school because we would hurt Sophia... I hope we meet in hell...?"

"I am sorry Garima... It was a mistake please forgive me..."

"I am sorry Garima... It was a mistake please forgive me..."

"I am sorry Garima... It was a mistake please forgive me..."

"I am sorry Garima... It was a mistake please forgive me..."

and then all of a sudden, it felt as if someone was trying to wake me up. I was sweating and saw Aamaya di, Mom, dad, Master Kaku, and Tribeni Dadu standing next to me and was trying to wake me up and asking me if I was alright.
