5. Reshmi is kidnapped

CHAPTER 5

Reshmi is kidnapped

Reshmi was putting on the sari. The cell on the table rang. She took the cell and looked at the number. Feeling excited, she said, “Hallo darling.”

SIddartha was sitting on his bike outside his house. Speaking into the cell, he said, “Hallo darling, what are you doing?”

Teasing him, Reshmi said romantically, “I am wearing my sari. If you say no, I will remain just like that.”

Siddartha got excited. He laughed. “From tomorrow, if you want to remain in the house in front of me, you have to be without dress. This is my condition. But right now be ready in sari. I will be with you in half an hour.”

Reshmi felt shy. Showing anger, she said, “You are a playboy. Come soon. You only put the sari on me.”

Reshmi wore her sari and put make up. She stood in front of the mirror admiring her face happily. “I wonder where I will be by this time tomorrow.”

She smiled to herself and started day dreaming about Siddartha. “I will be near him. No, no, I will be on his body, on his chest.”

A Sumo stopped in front of the house. Madani looked at the address on the slip and the number on the door. It was correct. Then he got down and looked around.

Looking at his men, Madani said, “The address is correct. This is the house. The bird stays here. Be alert and follow me. Nobody is around. The environment is good for us.”

 Madani went with his men to the front door. Madani knocked on the door. 

Reshmi heard the sound of someone knocking on the front door. She thought it was Siddartha. She was very happy. “He said half and hour but he has arrived in half a minute.”

Reshmi opened the door happily. The terrorists entered immediately. Madani put his hand on Reshmi’s mouth so that she cannot scream. Reshmi was scared.

Pointing his gun at her, Madani sai, “If you make any sound we will finish you here itself.”

They pasted plaster on her mouth and tied her hands behind her back.

One man went outside the house and looked around. Nobody was around. Then he entered the house again. “Bhaiyya, nobody is around.”

Looking at Reshmi, Madani asked seriously, “Where is your cell?”

Reshmi pointed to the table shivering with fear. Madani took the cell and put it in his pocket. The men lifted Reshmi and carried her out.

They put Reshmi in the Sumo and put a mask over her face. They all climbed into the Sumo. The Sumo with dark glasses closed moved away.

Sumo stopped in front of the old house. One man removed the mask and the plaster from Reshmi’s mouth. She immediately asked, “Who are you men? Why have you brought me here?”

They tried to get her out of the Sumo.

Reshmi said seriously, “I will not come. Why have you brought me here? Take me back to my house.”

Madani pulled her hand. She bit his hand. Madani hit her angrily and pulled her by her hair. When she resisted, he put his gun at her head and said, “From now on, you have to cry if we ask you to cry, laugh if we ask you to laugh and stand if we ask you to stand. Otherwise we will kill you.”

Reshmi started crying with desperation and fear. “Why have you brought me here? Why are you torturing me like this?”

Akram looked at the sky and lifted both his hands to the sky. “All for Jihad.”

The men took Reshmi inside the house.
