Swasan ff:An Incomplete Scrapbook (The Resemblance) Episode 15

Sanskar's POV:
'Sujata, Why have you done this to me? I have always accomplished my responsibilities towards you. Then why do you betray me?
***
'Responsibility, Do you even know the meaning of this word? Do you think spending money on your wife is called as responsibility.'
***
"Ha! Ha! The money which you are spending lavishly can't available to all. Money is everything. You stupid woman! Can't understand it's value. I have satisfied all your desires. But you! What have you done with me? You have informed police about the business, I am conducting for years together. I won't spare you this time Sujata."
***
"Are you threatening me for death? Kill me Ram! I don't want to live this life. I don't want my son to be called as a child of an extortionist."
***
'Shut up Sujata! Before I loose my sense. I have done all these things to satisfy my family needs.'
***
'To whom do you want to fool? We don't need your money. You have done all these things to satisfy your needs. Don't pull me and my son into this.'
***
"Stop Sujata, You are crossing your limit. Don't push me too much to kill you. You don't know how painful it is when the bullet pierces in your heart & punctures the entire body.
***
"You are mistaken Ram! Death is painful & easier than life."
BANG.... BANG....

"Don't kill my mom. Please spare her dad!" And I woke up from my short nap. The same nightmare which I had faced before many years, again popped up in my mind after hearing my target's answer. The same line. An exact resemblance.. The same expressionless brave face... Though I was a slayer and I was devoid of human expressions still I didn't know why I was worried for her now? I couldn't disobey my captain's orders. So, I had to control my emotions. I didn't want to handle my target now. So, I went towards George's cell and started negotiating with him. I had already traced his bank account details. But that bastard was lying to me that he hadn't done anything. I couldn't listen to his lies more. So, I finally ordered him to say the truth or else be prepared to die. He still repeated his old talks. So, I had finally decided that there was nothing left to discuss with him. Before pressing the trigger, I said,"George! There is no place of mercy to a traitor." And I pressed the trigger in rage & anger. "I was merciless & ruthless slayer.. I knew it.. After all it was my job.", for the first time in life I convinced myself after killing a person. I knew the cause of it was none other than my target & her resemblance with my mother. I rushed out of the cell & ordered Alex and Martin to dispose George's dead body.

This resemblance wasn't good for my job. While I was thinking about these aspects, my phone ringed. I came out of my thoughts & saw the caller ID. It was my captain again. He asked me about my target & George. I gave him all the details of George, from his bank account details to his death. My captain was satisfied with this. As my target was getting into my nerves, so I didn't want to handle her now. To get rid of this target, I asked my captain trickily,"Shall I go to the bank to recover those money from his account?" Cutting my words immediately, my captain said,"No need Sanskar! You handle her. Recovery of money from his account can be done by Laksh. He is expert in that. You know that those money can't fulfil my goal. I want my money back from that idiot Shekhar Suryavansi. Are you able to vent out truth regarding that idiot from her mouth?" I was not prepared to answer the last sentence of my captain. So, I just said that I was trying. My captain wasn't convinced with the answer and said to complete this mission as soon as possible & he cut the call.

Despite the fact that I didn't want to face her now, but I didn't have another option. Laksh would handle that case and I had to vent out truth from her mouth. Immediately I rushed to her cell, I found out that she was damn shocked, worried and was also possessing mixture of reactions. But I didn't want to analyze her facial expressions, as that would make me weak which I didn't want to happen at any cost. I was also wearing a mask. So, she couldn't sense my restlessness regarding her. Good for me! It was time to work. She was lying on floor & I put a chair in front of her to sit. As soon as I sat there, she just moved her legs away from me. Her legs were shivering like hell & cramps were coming up. Without analyzing her situations further, I came straight to my point. I said, 'Scared! Huh! Good! Now answer my questions. The sooner you answer, the sooner will be your freedom.' Just then I heard her murmuring sound. I shouted,'Hey you! Speak up early or else you know, what I can do & how far I can go?' But to my surprise, she was saying,'You are a killer! How can you kill a person? Do you feel happy after killing him?' I didn't know what should I feel now. This girl was not at all worried for her fate rather she was asking about my remorse. Strange... Now I couldn't find her in front of me rather I could see my mother in her.. Like she was the small version of my mom. Exactly like her. Thinking for others....... But I controlled my feelings again and snapped her back,"Think about yourself poor girl! The same thing can also happen with you." But still I couldn't find any change in her facial expression and she continued," Look Mr! Have you lost your memory? Or Do you think whatever I have said earlier regarding death, is a lie? Or do you feel I am intoxicated now? Ha.. Ha.. I am not scared of death?" Her similarity with my mother was making me weak in front of her. So I pressed her neck deeply to remind myself about my existence & asked," Don't dare to show your attitude in front of me.. Else I will kill your entire family." This time I could feel the change in her reactions. I didn't know why did that change occur? Was it because I had pressed her neck or in the name of family? Now she pleaded me, "please kill me but spare my mom." I was again shocked, she was requesting me to spare her mom, then what was about her father. I asked her mockingly,'Don't you want your father Mr. Shekhar Suryavansi to live?' Now again her fearful facial expression was changed into rage & she said,"I don't know him. Do what ever you want to do with that man!" "Huh!", I was really shocked by her answer. I again shouted,"Don't act smart with me! Answer me where is your father?" To my surprise, she shouted," Don't call that man my father. I don't know him. If you want to kill, then go ahead & kill him.. Still if you are not satisfied then you can also kill me. But spare my mother." I thought that might be she was playing mind games with me. She must have known about his father but wanted to divert my mind. I threatened her this time,"I will kill your mother first if you don't tell truth regarding your father." And my this statement had worked. She pleaded,"I swear! I don't know about Mr. Shekhar Suryavansi. He is hiding now due to his loss of illegal shares. I don't have any contact with him. He is not my father. I am telling truth. Please leave my mother. Don't include her. She is innocent. She doesn't have any hand in Mr. Shekhar Suryavansi's illegal business." Her statements had made deep impact on me. What had she said? Not his father... I questioned myself,"Is she lying to me? No sanskar.. Look at her expressions.. She was telling truth." Being a slayer, it was not difficult for me to judge a person. As soon as I was convinced that she was not lying, I couldn't see her as my target anymore, rather I was viewing myself in her place. The same pain I had faced earlier. Just Like her, I also couldn't call 'Ram Prasad' as my father. I was feeling suffocated and was unable to continue this questionnaire session further and left the room. Before leaving that room, I heard her shout, "Leave my mom... Don't kill her."
