Away from Hercules

CHAPTER 1
Meenal POV
(Maa-Meenal’s mother)
(Dad and Mom- Pooja’s parents)
“AFTER 6 YEAR LATER”
It has been 6 years since I have seen him and the worst years of my life I have missed him every day of my life since I’m here but Neil and Pooja has been telling me to move on which is hard but still I had to. In past these years I have changed my name and started using my middle name (Varsha) for safety reasons I have also changed my hair and I wear grey contact lens to change my eyes colour as well, I have coloured my hair to cherry red to look different so nobody can recognise me at all but still everyone close to me call me by my real name (Meenal) till I’m in public. Pooja’s family has accepted me from the day I escaped him (Hercules) her father and mother don’t like it was I call them uncle aunty so since the beginning I started calling them mom and dad and Geet Pooja’s sister she is awesome and crazy and she always some days drivers me crazy but I love her like a sister like she dose to me. Neil is very good with me in fact great with me, he treats my like a queen and everyone knows he loves me and even I know that but I can’t love him back like I loved him (Hercules) I see Neil as my friend my best friend but everyone told me that it has been 6 years and I should move on now. I have also completed my Surgeon course in this 6 years as well I did my practice with Pooja and Neil and Ryan, me and Ryan are in same years where as Pooja and Neil is one year ahead of me and Ryan. I would have been in with Neil and Pooja if Hercules would have let me continue my practice but it’s ok and I got to meet Ryan one of my friend more like family now as he stays with us all the time, Ryan family are in NY he came here to get away from them. I meet Ryan went I came to ltaly with Pooja and Neil and started my course. I have also started going to gym and defence classes to protect myself in case of emergency. Neil and dad has been teaching me how to use g*n as well if I need it.
“Dad wants me to handle his business enterprise which I was not happy about but Pooja told me that dad is only giving me this because he really believe I’m his daughter and I should not break his heart and I agreed to handle the business and at the same time work at the hospital as well because I did this course to save people. I do go to hospital when there is an emergency to do surgery and I’m required but otherwise I just stay in office to take care of father’s businesses.
“I do talk to Maa in every 2 to 3 months and dad will call Maa from his phone because we don’t want Hercules catching me and she is the one who required Rehan and Pooja to take me away from Hercules after knowing my father got 200 Million dollar from him and then Maa knew I was in deep trouble and won’t ever return home so she wanted me to get out of his claws. Rehan calls dad on his phone every 2 to 3 weeks to know about me and his proud on me for moving on because Dad didn’t had the hearts to tell him that I’m still standing at the same spot snice I left him (Hercules). Pooja’s parents live in Italy from the beginning and I knew it was the good idea to live here with them because I know he (Hercules) would never come to Italy because whatever happened to him over here will never let him come here.
“I was standing in the office holding some paper when my eyes leaded on the magazine which was on my desk I walked over to it and Hercules was on the cover of the magazine. He looked so different from what I knew him, long hair with lots of facial hair and he looked like his workout move then before. I touch the cover and tears rolled down my cheeks I miss him so much. Whatever he did to me was wrong but I still love him I don’t know how but I fall in love with him and I can’t get over it. I turned the paper and saw him and crystal on the next paper holding hands, I closed the magazine and throw it in the bin and wiped my tears.
“I need to move on like he has “I said to myself. I don’t know why but whenever I see him on TV, NEWS or magazine with Crystal I feel hurt and all over again feel my heart getting broken from his pain. I walked to the window to look at the view and calm myself from feeling sad AGAIN before someone see me like this.
PAST
“Aaaaaahhhhh Where am I “said Meenal getting up on the bed?
“OH MY GOD Meenal your up “said Pooja holding Meenal hand.
“What happened “said Meenal looking at Pooja, Pooja sat next to Meenal and cupped her face.
“Your safe here we did it Meenal we did it “Said Pooja and smiled at Meenal, First Meenal made a confused face and then she remembered what happened, Meenal pushed Pooja away and got down the bed.
“What the hell Pooja what the hell you guys were thinking If Hercules finds out that you guys are in this he will kill you all, why did you do this OH MY GOD I need to get out of here I can take care of Hercules just take me back please I can’t see anyone close to getting killed because of me “said Meenal talking like crazy and running her hand in her hair she was so scared now her whole body was shaking and she need to get out of here. Pooja tried talking to her but Meenal just pushed her away and said to save herself.
“Meenal walked to the door and opened it she was shocked to see out the room. She turned around and looked at Pooja who was on the phone with someone.
“We are in the hotel or we in ship “said Meenal in low tone and Pooja looked up at her and showed Meenal the phone screen, Meenal started crying and run to the phone.
“Maa”
“How are you my beta “said Meenal’s Maa from other side. Maa and Meenal were crying seen each other on the phone after months.
“Maa what have they done Hercules will kill them “said Meenal in low tone.
“I have required Rehan you brother and Pooja your soul sister to help a mother out to save her child “Said Maa, Meenal looked at Pooja then back at the phone.
“What”
“Yes my jaan (Life) “said Maa.
“I called you so many times but your phone doesn’t go through and I don’t have Hercules or anyone else number to get in touch with my daughter and I have called Mike millions of times nothing happened so I called Rehan and Pooja told them to come and see me, when Rehan came 2 day after my call with Pooja I couldn’t stop myself and started crying in front of them I told them everything that happened here and how your father promised to never let you leave Hercules and then you will stay with him forever after taking money from him and that when I know that something was wrong, I called Diya to help Rehan in find more in on Hercules but when I told Rehan Hercules name he was mad and I know he knows Hercules so I asked him to take you out from his claws and at that time I didn’t know Hercules was hitting you and you end up in hospital but when Rehan and Pooja started going after you to care for you that’s when we find out the you are a prisoner in that big mansion and how people will follow you everywhere. My daughter was in a cage like a bird who was meant to fly in sky but Hercules caged you and you didn’t had and other choice “said Maa and Meenal sobbed listening to her.
“But Maa if Hercules finds out then you all be in trouble “said Meenal crying on the phone looking at her mother on video call.
“I know and you are worth taking risk my daughter now promise me that you will take this chance and free yourself because if you go back he will still kill us so make the most of it please my daughter “said Meenal’s Maa joining her hands together. Meenal saw this and cried more.
“Please Maa don’t join you hand in front me please “said Meenal
“Then listen to me and help yourself getting away from him and save our life by not getting caught ok and stay away from your father aswell “said Maa and Meenal nodded her head. Pooja put her hand over Meenal’s shoulder but Meenal turned around and hugged her tightly crying on her shoulder. Pooja pat her back.
“Meenal talk to Maa because you won’t be able to take to her in 3 months “said Pooja and Meenal pulled back and looked at Pooja in confused way.
“Meenal beta Pooja is right we can talk like this “said Maa to Meenal
“What I’m confused” said Meenal
“Meenal we are being careful if you don’t want to get caught and Hercules taking you back then we have to do this in every 2 to 3 month you will talk to Maa but not every day because Hercules is smart in fact very smart and he will know that you are talking to Maa if you call her now and then “said Pooja and Meenal understood what she was saying.
“Meenal beta Hercules didn’t became world’s top businessmen like this, he is smart so do what Pooja and Mr Kapoor tells you to do ok “said Maa and Meenal eyes wide in shock.
“Pooja your father is in this too “said Meenal in shock, Pooja smiled at her.
“Yea and mom and Geet and Neil as well “said Pooja and side hugged her.
“Your whole family is involve in this and who’s Neil, I remember him in the hospital but I didn’t see his face “said Meenal
“Long story tell you when we out of here we still have long way to go “said Pooja and looked at Maa on the phone.
“Maa I think we have already talked enough and will call you when we reach Italy with dad’s phone “said Pooja but Meenal quickly yelled.
“NO I still have to talk to Maa I want to know more “said Meenal with tears rolling down her eyes.
“Meenal beta I told you to stop thinking like this, save yourself and us as well because now your life is connected with us remember this “Said Maa and hung up. Meenal looked up at Pooja and back at phone.
“You will get to talk to her Meenal and Maa is right if your save we are save “said Pooja and walked out the bedroom saying that she will bring food for her.
“After having food with Pooja, Pooja took Meenal outside on the deck to have a fresh air before they leave from the ship. Meenal walked around on the deck taking all the sea view in her the beauty of the water was making her calm and relaxed Meenal stood at the edge and closed her eyes when she had someone playing music she turned around and started walking at the back of the ship. She saw someone sitting facing his back to her and playing guitar the tone was so sweet and heart breaking at the same time. She couldn’t stop herself and started humming. But when Neil heard her he didn’t stop and continued playing it.

****END*******
“Meenal “said Pooja putting her hand on Meenal’s shoulder, Meenal quickly opened her eyes and saw Pooja standing in front of her. Meenal looked behind and saw the same guys standing and looking at her as well. Meenal got up and smiled at them wiping her tears.
“I’m sorry I disturbed you, I just love singing and you play a really good guitar “said Meenal to Neil and looked at Pooja.
“I’ll go to my room let me know when we leaving “said Meenal to Pooja and walked two steps when she felt someone holding her hand back. Meenal looked back and saw Neil is holding her hand.
“I’m Neil Pooja’s friend and dad’s son I have heard about you a lot and it’s nice meeting you in person “said Neil letting go of her hand but Meenal just smiled at him and didn’t say anything.
“Meenal come sit with us I’ll play guitar and you can sing or not but sit with us please “said Neil in sweet and kind tone, Pooja looked at Neil and mouthed thank you to him. Meenal nodded her head and walked back and sat next to Neil. Neil started play guitar and Meenal just closed her eyes and started humming again. Meenal was feeling good just sitting there and nobody to tell her what to do and what not to do. Neil and Meenal had few chat and started getting along with each other. Pooja was worried for Meenal because they were still in Canada border and till they reach USA border they can’t call helipad to come and receive them because they don’t want to come in Canadian record for being here.
“Neil and Meenal sat there talking about things, but Meenal felt uncomfortable about knowing that he knows but in reality Meenal doesn’t know that Pooja and Rehan never told him the whole story only the things he need to know to help her escape.
“The ship was 5 miles away from the border when Meenal got up from beside Neil and walked to the edge and looked at the sea behind the ship. “I never through that one day I will be free from everything from him from his cage “said Meenal in low tone but Neil heard her, Neil got up from his place and walked to her. No one told Neil anything only Pooja and Rehan knew who Hercules is for Meenal but when Neil was helping them they didn’t tell him everything to keep Meenal safe.
“Some time you just have to believe that you can do it you can also be free “said Neil and gave Meenal the side hug. Meenal smiled at him and looked at the sea again, when she saw something approaching them very fast.
“Do you see that “said Meenal pointing at the pontoon moving very fast towards them?
“Oh s**t someone is following us “said Neil and grabbed Meenal’s hand pulling her towards ground floors. Neil quickly pressed the red button and Pooja came running like someone put fire on her a*s.
“What happened “said Pooja and Neil told her what happening, Pooja looked at Meenal and grabbed her hand.
“Go with Neil and stay with him till we give you green light ok “said Pooja and looked at Neil who just nodded his head at her.
“But Pooja….. Meenal please remember what Maa said and I don’t have time to fight with you right now so just go “said Pooja cutting Meenal off what she was saying and pushed her towards Neil.
“GO”
“Neil grabbed Meenal’s hand and made her where oxygen tank with all the gears and did same with himself then he walked to the end of the ship engine and open an door and closing it behind him then he opened another door on his right and walked inside with Meenal and closed it behind her after the door was closed he pushed the orange button and water started filling up, Meenal got panicked and grabbed Neil’s forearm with both hand really tightly but Neil turned around and cupped Meenal’s face and made her look into his eyes and told her to breath in and out. Once the water was filled Neil opened the last door and swim out with Meenal on his side grabbing his hand. Neil swim till halfway to the ship and pushed the orange button which was out there and helped Meenal in and closed the door, when they both were in Neil closed the door and push the Red button locking the door and draining all the water out. Neil helped Meenal taking everything out with oxygen tank and put it on the side before opening the last door.
“Where are we “said Meenal holding Neil’s hand joining they fingers together.
“We are at the bottom of the ship in a secret room, Pooja’s father build this just in case of an emergency like this “said Neil and walked inside leading Meenal in. Meenal looked around in shock and saw it was a security room with live playing video all around the ship. Meenal looked at Neil and then and the video.
“What is all this “said Meenal in low tone?
“It’s for emergency everything whatever happening on the ship we can see it from here “said Neil take a seat next to Meenal where she was standing. The secret room looked like a whole house with 3 master bedroom and kitchen with living room and security room. They was a bar area as well with game room.
“Meenal searched for Pooja and saw her in one of the video with him (Hercules) standing next to her. Hercules had a red bloodshot eyes and his veins were popping out on his forehead he liked like a true DEVIL right now ready to kill. After looking at her Meenal was so scared she took few steps back. Neil was busy looking at bodyguards trashing the things on the ship. Suddenly Meenal screamed really loudly Neil quickly got up and ran to her.
“What happened are you ok “said Neil looking at Meenal but she only pointed her index finger on the screen. Neil looked at the screen and saw men’s back and he was holding Pooja by her hair and screaming on her face.
“Is that the men you running away from and what’s his name “said Neil making Meenal confused, But Meenal didn’t answer him and looked at the screen again and she saw everyone was leaving including Hercules and Pooja dropped on her keens putting her palms on her face and crying.
“No no I have to go out there and be with her I have to go now “said Meenal and walked towards the door but Neil stopped her.
“They will kill us all if you go they “said Neil and Meenal stop on her track.
“Pooja can handle them and look their all going now so you don’t have to worry about anything trust me “said Neil but Meenal dropped on her keens and started cry.
“I can’t see her getting hurt because of me please help her please “said Meenal and sat on the ground and pulled her keens to her chest Neil sat next to her and sweet talked to her. One hour later Meenal and Neil saw the green light and Meenal quickly got up and walked to the door to wear her gears but Neil stopped him.
“Wait we not going that way we are going this way “said Neil and told Meenal to follow her. Neil took Meenal in first master bedroom and touched the mirror, Meenal looked at him in a confused way but when she saw him put pin code she knew something is behind that door.
“After putting in the code Neil pushed the door open and walked inside Meenal hold Neil forearm and followed him up the stairs when they were on the first step Neil again put in the code and push the door and they both walked out in the main kitchen on the ship.
“See we don’t have to swim again “said Neil and smiled at Meenal who looked very confused.
“Then way didn’t we use this in first place and why we had to swim “said Meenal in confused tone, Neil smiled at her.
“Because no one can open the door from the kitchen only Pooja’s father can and it’s a secret door so no one know about it only few people “said Neil and closed the door behind them and that when Meenal saw the door was invisible and nobody can see it. Meenal turned around and walked toward where Pooja was and hugged her.
“Are you ok, are you hurt, did he do something to you “said Meenal asking her questions by questions. Pooja smiled at her and pulled her to the seat.
“Relax I’m ok, yes I was scared like hell but I’m ok “said Pooja and Meenal just pulled her in hug again.
“I will never leave you again with him (Hercules) “said Meenal in low tone but Pooja heard her and tightly hugged her. After few mins later the ship crossed the Canadian border Pooja called her pilot and told him the location, after the pilot picked Pooja, Neil and Meenal up he took them to Texas border with few stops to fill the fuel on the way. Once they were in Texas Pooja took her private jet to Italy with Meenal and Neil and left everything behind. Pooja told Meenal whatever happened in Canada should stay there.
