Chapter 3: Kabir

Riya POV:

“Uncle, how can you say that , I can never go back to kabir and ask him for his help!” i whisper yelled on my uncle who now had frown face “If you want to see your father free walking in delhi then kabir is the only hope for us now!” Uncle Jay replied to me “But.. but you know he will never help me, why don’t you go and ask him instead of me?” I questioned uncle Jay, to which just exhaled out a deep breath “ I tried calling his assistant, but he said ‘Kabir’ is too busy to meet anyone” he replied with helplessness “Then how do you expect me to go and talk to him?” I questioned him with a raised eyebrow “I.. I dunno beta, you and kabir have a history together so.. I thought maybe for that he will meet you!”jay replied , I saw sadness in his eyes, and even I was speechless at that moment, I am a business women and I know how to deal with outer world but Kabir… he is out of my league and plus the history uncle jay is talking about is not so good , it is one of bitter past that I remember, I closed my eyes to relax my troubled mind, today was one of the worst day of my life ‘First my younger sister cheated with my boyfriend’ and now ‘My father is in jail for r**e and murder case‘ and to add on it ‘My mother is in Coma’ I took in few deep breaths to control my emotions “Uncle what are the chances of us winning the case?” I asked my uncle with closed eyes “With Kabir Rawat we at least have chances, with any other lawyer there is no hope…” Uncle jay replied in plain tone , I slowly opened my eyes and went to see my mother , I peeked in through I.C.U Door and saw her lying unconscious , my mind spoke to me that whatever ill have to do ill do it just to save my parents even if that means to face ‘Kabir Rawat’, I gave a soft flying kiss to my mother from outside and turned to my uncle “I will go and talk to kabir uncle , please take care of maa till I come back” with that said I picked up my backpack and went towards exit door, as soon as I reached exit door guards guarding it informed me that News reporters are waiting for me like hungry wolf  and they suggested me to go out by backside door, one of the guard walked me to backside door and safely got me out of hospital without getting any unwanted attention, I thanked him and pulled out my scarf and wore it around my face, once i was done I booked an Ola cab for me and hoped in once it arrived after 10 min, I knew where kabir was working now, thought I never kept any relation with him still I kept every information about him, it wasn’t like I was stalking him but I used to fear that he might try to hurt me or my family for revenge as I dumped him back during our college time, I waited patiently until I reach my destination, it almost took me two hours without traffic  to reach at kabir’s office, he was a lawyer who was running his own big firm, his business was not just in India but in U.S.A as well it was one massive building with many hired subordinates and staff , he was owning a firm with almost 5k staff which was very big success at his age, I paid my bill and stared at the building from its gates, I walked inside but was stopped by Security guards “Madam ji you’ll have to get entry pass first, please go to the Pass booth and prepare it” one of five guards informed me and pointed direction to pass boot, I was hesitated to prepare my entry pass because me and family was in Hot  News in Every News channels, and I was scared of Crowd reaction as there were many ‘Women protection organization’ involved who were on Marching on different streets with my father posters in hand and asking for his death punishment, Delhi has very hot tempered crowd and I am one of them and I don’t want to mess around ,hence I finally took a deep breath and turned to guard “No Bhaiya let it be, Accha can you tell be by what time Kabir Rawat leaves for his home?” I asked guard “Madam ji, Kabir sir usually go home after 8 O’clock” he informed me I thanked him and walked away, I went straight to a small tea Stall which was situated on footpath on opposite side of road, I sat there a kept keen watch on road and waited till whole building was deserted, it was 7’o Clock when whole area was clear, at 8.30 clock I saw a big black Mercedes coming out, I guessed it was kabir and quickly rushed infront of it, it was tinted with light black windows and I could not see clearly from front who was on back seat, I spread my hands wide open and shouted Kabir name “KABIR…. KABIR RAWAT” I shouted on top on top of my lungs, driver of that car came out and scolded me “Areee a you Mad girl, gat off our way!” he shouted on me and then I saw window of backseat rolled down and someone tilted his head to peek out ‘It is Kabir’, I quickly undid my scarf and showed my face to kabir, he was confused at first however when he saw my face his expression changed into cold one, two of his guards came and pulled me out of his way, I struggled to break free but it was useless they were strong, “Kabir please listen to me, Kabir I need to talk to you Kabir please listen to me…” I was pleading him but request were not welcomed by him, he simple turned his head to other side and rolled up his window, I saw his car was about to move and in that urgency I bite hand on one guard and his grip was loosen on my arm, I pushed another guard and went towards kabir car, I started banging on his window “Kabir please kabir listen to me kabir, please I need to talk to you kabir…please kabir” I kept banging my palm on his window but he drove away, I tried to chase them but failed after few meters, I kneeled down on wide dark road and pour my heart out , I cried hard to take out all my troubles all my pain, I was completely shattered at that moment , my last hope was also gone , I curled up into a ball on dirty road and started weeping, I was shivering due cold wind, I nearly lost track of time when I was crying on abandon empty road when a flash of my mother lying in hospital crossed my mind and my body became stiffed  ‘I can’t Give up, not now, I  have to meet kabir any how’ I spoke in my mind and quickly got up from my place, I run a few meter until I reached a taxi stand , I got inside it and asked driver to drive me to kabir’s mansion, kabir stays far away from city in his own mansion , I know its address but never visited it after an hour of drive we reached to my destiny and I got out and paid my bill when my taxi driver turn to me “Madam ji you won’t get any public vehicle to go back, shall I wait for you until your work is done?” he question me, I knew these place was deserted and wanted to ask him to wait for me but I wanst sure how long it will take me to make kabir agree to my terms “No need sir, you can go I am staying here!” I informed him and he left , I turned to face big white and red mansion in front of me and said to myself “Kabir Rawat, Here I come”.
