                                                                                                                                                      (CHAPTER CONTD)


And then the day came , it was Saturday morning. Hemant had already packed his bag and so did Anjali and Sonarika was busy packing Karan's tiny bag with his belongings. Hemant packed his important documents and all the necessary stuffs needed. He had a twinge of nervousness in him with all the factos of his life , past and future involved ,  but the smiling faces of his family gave him the much needed optimism.
Sonarika checked up on him.

"So all the necessary files are packed"

"Yup"

"I have stored some booster tablets just in case you feel unwell"

"Why?"

"Because you worry too much Husband. And it affects your health"

"Right , what about Karan"

"I've packed it with his new boardgames and some toys. But I believe he won't be using it much in this trip"

"Oh that he won't , technically we only have a single day to explore London so a good portion of next day will be spent in exploration"

"Nice"

"Its too bad you could not join. Or else I would've sorted an extra few days and we could've had a more detailed excursion"

"There is always tomorrow beloved. This is just the beginning right? Tomorrow we will go to big trips than London as a family. I am sure of it"

"Whatever you say my beloved."

"Take care of Karan and Anju and yourself in this journey. I love you!"

"I will. And I love you more!"

Hemant gave a peck on her lips as a kiss and soon an excited Karan joined Anjali as all three of them got their luggages and left home to get on leased ride to the airport. Karan enthusiastically waved goodbye to his mother as the vehicle drove off with the three of them to the airport. Sonarika watched as the vehicle disappeared from sight as she returned to her apartment. She took a breather sitting on the couch and then looked at her phone. She waited in anticipation for hours to pass to evening as she was anticipating the moment to meet Vikram in the airport and take their own flight to Bali.

Karan was very enthusiastic and thrilled by the flight. He constantly only stared through the window watching the clouds. Anjali had her own sorts of entertainment on the seat's multimedia devices. But none of it gave any relief to Hemant. As each moment passed he felt an uneasy feeling. Like he was walking into a past he vowed never to return. As he saw the london skyline appear below through the window Hemant felt deja vu. As the flight landed and they deboarded the plane , Hemant was careful paying full attention and Anjali and Karan's positions. They were welcomed by Harper who had brought in a ride to take them to their accomodation hotel.

Every street they passed , Karan was ecstatic about the scenery and the new places and so was Anjali. But for Hemant , it was revisiting some good but now terrible memories associated with here. Especially when the vehicle passed through the town of Westminster. He was hoping they never drive through Castle Lane near Palace Street. But thankfully the vehicle drove from the A 302 expressway to Victoria Street. Hemant had a relief in the passing moments of emotional baggage from the past. 

The vehicle soon arrived at Cornhill at the heart of the London city. Harper escorted them to their accomodation hotel room. He had provided them with a massive hotel suite for the stay to which Hemant raised concern regarding the expense. Harper joked that Hemant should stop acting cheap and start acting like the business man he is now. Karan enjoyed watching tv while Hemant and Anjali freshened up and changed clothes. An hour later Hemant took them to explore the city.

Anjali was surprised to see Hemant leading them calling a taxi and taking a tour.

"Bhaiya , you seem to be very aware of this place." Anjali asked.

"A long time ago , I've been here Anju. I spent a good amount of time in London. So I am familiar"

Hemant said trying to fight back his old memories. It took roughly half hour or more as they reached the entrance area of the Buckingham Palace. Until now Anjali had only seen it in books and videos , now she was seeing it with her naked eyes. They explored the place and took photos. Karan was extra ecstatic as he posed with Anjali on the artillery showpieces and many other interesting places in that palace. Hemant smiled in happiness seeing his family actually enjoying their time here. Eventually Anjali dragged Hemant to pose with them on one of their photos. Anjali quickly uploaded some of the pics into her social media to share it with others. Hemant never exactly used social media much , he never likes interacting in it unlike Anjali and Sonarika. 

They spent a few hours there until the sun set. Then they all returned to the hotel and Hemant prepared himself for his big interview. Anjali and Karan were going to stay in the room until Hemant completes his presentation and return. Harper assured him that the entire hotel is under ANVIL surveillance and that they will not be going far but just to a nearby building where the presentation will be taking place. 

Anjali helped in Hemant's clothes choice and his well appearance. For the first time in his life , Hemant applied makeup  to himself. Anjali assured him the make up will be what men usually wears and not women's. Anjali personally helped with the make up enjoying a good brother sister bond between them. Karan cheered his father for his presentation and continued watching his favorite cartoons. 

With baited breaths , Hemant arrived at the conference venue where his presentation was set. The nervousness certainly elevated when he noticed the setting and the amount of people present there. But he closed his eyes and the images of his family and his wife and son went through his head and he was back to being normal. He gained peak level confidence as his presentation started. His presentation was going well as he also brought slide shows and video animations of how his prototype gun was strucutured.

The presentation went on for an hour with Hemant even demonstrating the gun's features with a live prototype. Although there was no firing , he explained the added features of the gun and showcased the selection fire feature and the reloading mechanism.

Once his presentation ended , there was a few seconds of silence. And then the whole conference hall erupted with claps. Hemant left a big sigh and relief along with great happiness on his presentation success. Harper happily hugged him first , after which many of the guests came towards him asking for tips and certain doubts. Hemant gracefully replied and was enjoying this amazing moment until he saw a female figure standing near the entrance looking towards him. The woman was wearing a long party dress with a cut and her long legs were on perfect display. Hemant looked at the woman's face and the moment he recognized her , he felt like all the oxygen were disposed from his body. The woman had a deep alluring and seductive eyes. But more than that , she was a woman from Hemant's past that hurt him to many extent. 

Suddenly being upset , he went after her. But when he reached the place where she was standing. She was no longer there. For a moment he thought he was hallucinating her , but he was sure she was definitely here. 

After getting all the acknowledgement and praises , Hemant left the place with Harper. On his way back to the hotel , he got a call from the recruiting firm stating that the workers have been recruited and they are ready to come from Monday. And Brigadier Sharma has expressed his support along with some desktop military personnal to assist him in some new projects for them. When he arrived at the hotel room he was greeted by Anjali and Karan and they expressed their happiness in the completion and success of his presentation. Hemant then took both Anjali and Karan to eat dinner outside at a posh restaurant nearby. 

While eating food  , Anjali showed that the photos they took in Buckingham had garnered great views for her in Social Media. 

"That is good to hear Anju"

"Didi called us upon seeing our pic. She was very happy seeing us having a great time here"

"She called?"

"Yes , you were busy with your project and stuff. She said she is confident you will do best"

"Oh , okay"

As Hemant was enjoying talking with Anjali and Karan and eating dinner. He eventually noticed the same woman from the conference sitting in the far table here. His heartbeats again got faster. Making the excuse that he needs to visit the washroom , he left the table leaving Anjali and Karan sitting there. Hemant arrived at the washroom and was washing his hands when he heard the female voice behind him.

"After all these years...you still look like a handsome hot man"

Suddenly , Hemant was fuming with rage as he immediately lunged towards her and planted her to the wall. The woman was a bit taken aback but she mockingly giggled.

"And still very powerful....I like it"

"What are you doing here Kira?"

"Got word that my handsome man was returning to his old playground. Though I am surprised by this big change in life"

"Stop it , stay away from my life"

"I will , unless you talk to me"

"Then talk"

"Not here , not now. Once your kids are asleep , come to the rooftop at your hotel. And we will talk"

"Kira , don't play games with me"

"Life is a game handsome , see you tonight at that rooftop"

Saying that she left , Hemant stood there taking desperate breaths. He was feeling unease but he has to brave it. He made a decision to overcome his past and this is the path he has to take to evolve , and he was determined to be just that. He immediately thought about Karan and Anjali. They had finished their dinner so eventually all of them returned to their hotel accomodation. Hemant picked up his phone and was about to dial Sonarika's number but then he realized that it might be late night in Bali so he decided to call in the morning. 

All three of them played Karan's board game that Sonarika packed for some time after which they went to sleep. Hemant couldn't sleep  , he pretended to sleep as Anjali and Karan went to deep slumber. He looked at his watch to find the time to be 11.00 pm. Hemant calmly got up making sure he won't wake any of them up. He slowly picked up the room key card and silently closed the door to exit. 

Hemant made his way to the rooftop making sure no one noticed him. When he arrived at the rooftop , he found it to be deserted. He looked around and eventually found Kira standing at the far corner. What intrigued him is that she wasn't wearing the fashionable dress she wore in the conference and the restaurant. Instead she was wearing a t shirt top and denim shorts completely exposing her slender and long legs including her thighs. Kira turned to see Hemant and smiled.

"I have to say....being a father suits you"

"Why are you here Kira?"

"Relax , I am not here to tempt you or harass you. Just came to say hi"

"Well , it didn't look that way in the conference and in the restaurant"

"I had to get your attention , wanted to know whether that muscly man that was horny for me. And you definitely surprised me"

Hemant was taken aback by her response and her change in behavior. He calmed down as he approached and stayed near her.

"What is it you wanna talk about?"

"Why are you here Hemant"

"I am here for a business deal , been developing a business for myself with my gun smithing skills. Came here for a deal with BLACKROCK"

"That is not my question Hemant? What are you doing HERE?"

"I don't understand"

"I think you do"

Hemant didn't say anything but only stared at her judgemental eyes. Eventually Hemant responded.

"I am here to evolve Kira. I tried moving on burying my past but it only turned me into a ticking time bomb. If I truly need my past to not bother me , then I must overcome it , evolve from it. Coming here is a test for me , to confirm that the past no longer haunts me"

"And did it work?"

"I think it does"

"In my opinion , it is way too soon to say that. But you are moving in dangerous waters Hemant. You say you're trying to evolve , but you're also risking everything in this attempt."

"What makes you say that?"

"Because I am the only one in this world who knows you have some unfinished business"

Hearing those words made something trigger within Hemant , an old memory he didn't wanna remember at all came flashing back. That screaming people , the dicapitated corpses burning. It all came fuming into his head. Kira noticed the change in Hemant and how he struggled to regain his composure.

"You're still struggling from it Hemant. And now you are pushing yourself to that risk. Why?"

Hemant again went silent for few seconds. Then he responded.

"Because I don't want it to be a part of my life anymore. I don't want it haunting me anymore. The reason it still haunts me is because it is an unfinished business. And if fate wants me to finish it so that I can overcome and find freedom from those nightmares then that is what I am going to do"

"And what happens if you succumb to it Hemant. What happens when you fall victim into your own darkness"

"Then I will consider it my fate. But it won't happen because I have something worth fighting for. My family"

"And you are going to risk them as well?"

"No , I will protect them , like I always do. You should know that"

"I know , which is why I am here to tell you to not walk this path. Because if you walk it and something goes wrong , you will be alone like me"

"What do you mean"

"I have already walked this path Hemant. In 2018 I got my revenge , I killed the person responsible. It was the end of my suffering , my revenge was complete. But after that , I was all alone. There was nothing left for me to live for , only person I could care was you and I came to Mumbai to see you"

Hemant was surprised hearing this from her.

"And then I saw you with your wife and a young child. I saw how much you changed and moved on , become a different man. You had this smile as you caressed your wife's hair in that park. That was the moment I realized what I lost for choosing my revenge"

Hemant listened to her calmly. Soon Kira said.

"Which is why I am here to give you a promise. Whenever you feel you are alone in your fight , I will be there for you."

"Why this favor Kira? for Gratitude?"

"No Hemant , for love"

Hemant sighed hearing that.

"Even now?"

"I cannot help it Hemant. You're like a drug addiction , I cannot get rid of you that easily"

"Come on , its not like I am the only man in the world"

"You are the only Hemant in the world"

"Is that so?"

"Do you remember 31st December 2005 or 1st Jan 2006?"

"Of course"

"There"

Kira pointed to a nearby tallest skyscbangr.

"That building , The Horizon 22 tower , when the world was celebrating new years that time , you and me were fucking like a horny couple on that rooftop. We were matching our thrusts to each fireworks that exploded in the sky"

"I don't think I am ever forgetting that , especially your scream when you know"

"Yeah , I wanted the world to know that my man was giving me the best orgasm of my life. At that moment , every moment with you. There was a pull in me Hemant , towards you. There were times I reconsidered my revenge , to spend my eternity with you. Even the last time we met , how you begged me to go with you. A good part of me wanted to go , and yet I chose Revenge. And now seeing you , a part of me is happy but at the same time a part is sad that I am not with you in this life anymore"

"You can with someone else , you don't to be stuck with me for the rest of your life Kira. There is still more to life than you know. Can I sujjest something?"

"What?"

"Go to Brazil , you always wanted to go right? Explore the Amazon? Stop considering it and go. The time of nightmares for you is over. Its time for your dreams"

Kira just looked at him a bit surprised. Hemant asked giggline.

"What?"

"This , this positive you , that is the best part about you in general Hemant. Never change that,  do you understand?"

"I don't think I will , but please consider my advice. You only need a new perspective"

"Fine , maybe I will be lucky like you"

"Lucky?"

"Oh come on Hemant , I surveilled you sometimes ago , you were kissing your wife's photo in your mobile phone"

"Wow , cannot believe you are acting like my stalker"

"After all you are my favorite man"

Both of them laughed. After which Hemant noticed it was getting much darker in the night.

"Then I guess I should return to my kids. I need a nap anyways"

"Don't forget Hemant , if you need me, I am just a phone call away"

Kira picked up Hemant's phone and stored her number on it. As Hemant was looking at the number on the phone. Kira leaned and kissed him on his cheek. Hemant felt a surge of emotions when she did that as she separated from him.

"Good night Hemant"

"Good night Kira"

Saying that Kira walked away. Hemant stood there for a while cherishing this talk with her. This boosted his inner confidence and made him understand that he was ready and eventually he will finish his pending business very soon.

Hemant quietly returned to his hotel room. Anjali and Karan were still asleep as Hemant joined Karan in his bed and went to his well needed sleep.
