English free Novel – Aghast : Ch-19 I promise

In the hotel room Nancy and John sat on a bed across each other. John gently cleared a bunch of hairs on her face.
“ I was scared that they would have found us.” Nancy said.
She still was not able to come out the panic.
“ No need to worry sweetheart. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise you” John tried to console her.
She looked at him, definitely with a proud.
Really how his consoling words worked, as if a medicine to wounds..
She thought.

Slowly John slipped near Nancy. She looked into his eyes. John was also not able to avert his eyes from hers. They stared at each other for a long moment. They noticed that their heart beats and breaths were increased. Gently, Embracing, they lied down on the bed.

John leaned on her and held her face in his hands as if he wanted to stare at her forever. Gradually he bent on her and his warm lips gently rested on her soft lips. They passionately started kissing each other. In excitement, John rolled on the bed holding Nancy firmly. Thud, the sound came - they both fell on the floor. John fell over Nancy. Nancy pushed him away, screaming with pain.
“ Uuum... You trying to break my legs.. or what?’’ Nancy screamed.
John got up, trying to hold her up.
“ I am sorry... I am so sorry.” John apologized.
Nancy pretended slapping action. John pulled back his head closing his eyes with fear. Nancy grinned. She pulled his face holding firmly and kissed his lips wildly. He also responded. They didn’t care to get up from the floor; in fact they did not want to waste a single moment. They made out on the bare floor. Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door. A frightful silence.
Was the knock real or just a hallucination...
Again there was a knock on the door, this time little louder.
May be service boy...
“ Who’s there? “ John asked loudly.
“ Police...” voice came from outside.
“ It’s important that I talk to you.” Again the voice came from outside.
Both of them slowly got up from the floor, shared apprehensive look.
Nancy buttoned her top, John buttoned his shirt.
How the hell police reached here? ..
Both of them thought. John went to the door, looked through the peephole.
Nothing was visible, only a dark.
As he unlatched and tried to see through the slit, all the four Christopher, Ronald, Paul and Steven entered forcefully in the room. Before they know, what was going on, Christopher locked the door from inside. Ronald made Nancy quite keeping his knife on Nancy’s neck, with his swift movement. Christopher also kept knife on John’s neck, as a part of preplanned thoughtful move. Now everything was in their control. They shared an evil like winning smile
“ Steve, fix his mouth.” Christopher ordered.
As Nancy tried to scream, Ronald kept his other powerful hand on her mouth,
“ Paul, Fix her too.”
Steven fixed John’s mouth, hands, and legs with tape. Paul fixed Nancy’s mouth and hands. The way they have executed the thing till now, they seemed to be professionals and experienced in such activities. Now, a wicked smile crept over Christopher’s face.
“ Hey, Put something over his eyes, he may not be able to bear it.” Christopher said.
Steven fixed a bandana on John’s eyes.
Now, John was able to see only the dark, and able to hear the laughing of those four and the helpless moaning of Nancy.

Ch-50B: Audio (Novel-Zero)

'' My Indian brothers and sisters''
There was a long pause in between.
All assembled at boardroom looked at each other quizzically.
The voice in the audio again echoed-
“Someway or the other somebody or the other had been ruling us since long, as if we are been accustomed to the habit of getting ruled. Prior to this 150 years British ruled us ... They treated us very badly like an animals.... You will be surprised to know that still somebody is ruling us.. And yes it is true and its not the fact to surprise it is a shameful fact.. If we look back to our past ... The advanced science we see today ... the base of this science is been established by us long back, during our Vedic era... But these advanced countries did not agree with this.. They have either stolen this science from us or grabbed forcefully from us with their power... As an example ... zero... zero was been invented by us... but they still did not agree with this... Pythagoras theorem had been invented by one of our ancestor mathematician Aryabhatta... But today it is famous on somebody else's name... Jya (Sine) was also invented by Aryabhatta. These are some examples of mathematical inventions... In the life sciences Aurveda is the gift of Indians to the world... When America tried to patent turmeric ... the medical uses of which are mentioned in our Aurveda is a typical example of grabbing others technology on the basis of their power... Using their power with the help of the media they impose on us the lies, hiding the real truth.. The invention made by us proves one thing that we were never inferior to them in any way nor we are now.. Today our brain is been drained in America and Europe proves the fact.. Then the question arises if we are mentally superior in all respects than them then why we are lagging behind them.. The main causes of these problems are -
1. Lack of nationalism in us...
2. Their attitude towards us
3. Their interference in our national policies on the basis of their power... this is the way they are still ruling us indirectly.
Now its time to attract their attention towards us by shaking them... and also it is necessary to make Indians awake about their nationalism... That is why we have started this 'Zero mystery' drive... Because it is easy to make awake the slept but to make awake the pretending slept huge explosion is necessary... These people had taken our non-violence always in other way around... Therefore it was necessary to prove our aggression this way.. Now this is the first step.. We need to do much more things to get back our lost prosperity ... I hope, in fact I am confident that all the Hindus will support our this expedition.. Hindus are much more capable... Be ready for ruling the world..
Jai Hind!''

The message was in Hindi. Nobody in the boardroom knew Hindi. A police officer with Indian base was sitting in the boardroom, who made it easy for the others to understand the audio speech by explaining the meaning in between. There was an awkward silence in the board room.
" My God!'' the word came out of Boss's mouth.
" It is a terrorism" Sam said.
" No ... not simply terrorism .. Its Hindu terrorism... earlier we were victim of Muslim terrorism ... now its Hindi terrorism also in the list" Boss said.
" Sir I think now we should try to prevent the next murder" John said.
'' Mr. John now this case is not simply a murder case.. now it has become a phenomenon" Boss said.
" But if we could stop the next murder.. and if we could catch the culprit... then we could get a control over it" John expressed his opinion.
" Now there is nothing we can control... Already the whole America is burning in the fire of riots ... And the culprit is not a single cheap killer .. Its a terrorist organization behind it... Hindu terrorist organization"
" But how so quickly the riots got spread all over?" Sam expressed his surprise.
" During 9/11 peoples anger had reached to a particular threshold level... And now the anger has outburst into riots knowing about one more terrorism.'' Boss said as if he analyzed the people's behavior. That way his study in the field of mob behavior and mob tendency was quite in depth.
Again the peon came in.
" Sir Mayer's phone" He said bending respectfully at Boss's ear.
Boss got up, " Come on ...let us get up ... now we have to handle these riots"
Boss was going out. Except John everybody followed him. John was looking them going with despair.
