Chapter 5

AASHIQA'S POV

"My answer is Yes....I am accepting your offer but in return you have to ensure me that you will find her and no one in my family should get hurt ever and also that they shouldn't even know about it....I don't want them to get in any danger... okay?"I said accepting his offer because what can possibly happen. Max to max I'll die...no biggie right? Fuck, what am I getting myself into. At the very least I'll find my dearest Maya and I can do anything for her, so I thought to give it a try.The other line was silent for a few seconds, then he spoke "Okay...that's very brave of you and I promise you that no one will be in danger and we will find your friend for sure but you will have to help us. In return we'll fulfill our promise at any cost...Alright?""Okay.. I will keep that in my mind." I replied accepting his conditions."Okay, then can you come to my place to know more about what you are getting yourself into? And also so that I can tell you what you have to do now" He asked"Alright, tell me when and where I have to come and I will come there" I accepted his request and I think it will be okay to visit his house for further instructions because now I can't wait anymore to find Maya."Okay...and no worries I will send someone to pick you as the address is quite confidential. Will that be okay?" he askedAfter thinking for some time "okay..." I replied"Fine. See you then""Alright" with this the call ended. After 5 minutes a message popped up with the time I have to be ready by and also the number of the person he is sending to pick me up. Thank god its tomorrow and not today."Haashhhh!!!" I sighed. It was very difficult for me to think in this situation but now I can't back off and have to accept whatever will happen in the future."Let's hope for a better future and wish that everything goes well" I said crossing my fingers.With this thought I closed my eyes and drifted into deep sleep.The next day I woke up and got ready early because of nervousness and was now waiting for someone to pick me up. After 10 minutes a car pulled up at the entrance. Thank god right now Bhai was in his office otherwise I would have had to answer 1000s of his questions. So at present there is only one person at home, that is Me.After some time a message popped up on my phone "ma'am I am here to pick you up and sent by Mr. Albert....Please come downstairs."After reading the message I descended towards the entrance and was left mind boggled because there was a sexy black limousine standing in front of me. It was the first time I was seeing one. I was literally spellbound. I then somehow composed myself and sat inside the car...After a ride of almost half an hour, the car pulled up in front of a mansion and what I saw shocked me.when I entered through the massive gates...I was living in this city from more than 15 years and I don't even know that this wonderful palace even existed...The beauty of this palace is mind-blowing.As I start moving inside the mansion, my mouth was on the floor. This freaking palace is beautiful. I was stopped by a guard, sorry not a guard but many guards who were there for security but the person with whom I came told them that their boss has asked me to come here. Remember my mouth was still open.After stepping inside I saw Mr. Albert sitting inside his living room talking with someone on the phone and saying "Yes sir, I will explain her everything clearly....you don't worry, I will handle everything sir...Alright sir"And after seeing me standing at the hall (staring around like a kid who saw something for the first time) he said "Oh... Aashiqa you arrived, come sit beta" gesturing towards the sofa parallel to him.He then asked one of the servant to bring something for me. Although I denied, but he won't listen, will he?...typical elders.We then started talking after the snacks were served. He began "So beta...directly coming to the point and not beating around the bush I will tell you what you have to do....is that okay?""Yes, definitely uncle.." I said."See now you have to go to Italy for this work and have to remain there till you complete your work and also till we find your friend. After that we will bring you back to India. And you have to sign a contract in which it is clearly written that if in future whenever we will need your help you have to help us.....It's basically like you will have to be forever bounded with us. Do you accept this?" He stated his condition."But uncle shifting to Italy?...me and my brother live here alone and what will I tell him about why I am going to Italy and what if it takes long there. I also have my job here." I said...it was not easy for me to leave my brother here alone and going to Italy when I don't even know till when I have to be there."You don't have to worry about your job and your brother child. As far as I know you can tell your brother that you have applied for a job there and whatever you want to tell him to convince him but don't worry about anything else. And I promise that your brother will be safe here" he said trying to convince me."Okay then." I said after thinking for sometime. As much as I hate this idea of leaving bhaiya, I am happy that they guarantee to promise his safety. Pheww, I can do it."okay...then you have 3 days to figure everything out and here are the contracts you have to sign and let me tell you one thing beta. You should never forget it. My boss is very strict when it comes to his business and very ruthless when someone tries to betray him. He never spares anyone who betrays him and when it comes to teach them a lesson he is no less than a monster. So please never ever try to betray or lie to him because if you do then there is no one who will be able to save you from him. I am not trying to scare you but it is truth and you have to face it. I am just trying to warn you that don't you ever do this mistake.....Got it?"Listening about his boss, a shiver ran through my body because of how much dangerous he is. How can someone be this scary and the worst part, I just had listened about him not met him. What will happen when I will meet him?"Okay uncle...but where will I be staying in Italy?" I asked because it is serious where will I live till then and I don't even know someone there."you don't have to worry about that...you will get to know when you will reach there. When you will land in Italy there will be someone waiting for you...so don't worry and sign these documents." He explained and handed me the documents.I exhaled my long held breath and picked up the pen and signed the documents.After signing he explained some more things about his boss and what I have to do and what not. I can't believe I am going to work with and for real mafias. But a much bigger problem stood high in my mind. How am I going to convince my brother?I sighed heavily and closed my eyes as I waited for the car to stop at my house.
