A black van stopped before four people stepped out of it and ran hurriedly towards the group of people who were standing a little bit away from the building and at the door way of the bus.
Kumar had his eyes spotted on the screen of the tab, he was so focused that he didn't noticed them.
The four looked at the girls who were standing there with nervous & anxious faces, while the young man was staring at the screen with horrified eyes, but the girl was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Rose? What's happening here?" With the question Kumar snapped his head up and looked at them. "Ma'am is inside the house."
Someone gasped as he said those words, "You mean to say she's in this building, stuck in fire?" Rick asked to confirm his suspicion.
Kumar nod and told everything truthfully to them, but their faces turned grave.
"No, no, no!! This can't happen!! Quick, we need to step inside. How could you do something so stupid Kumar!! Let's go!!"
"I didn't wanted to let her go, but I cannot possibly disobey her. She's my senior after all." Kumar said feeling guilty.
"Tell me the direction she entered inside?" Raghav asked anxiously.
He showed them the pipe and the room where she was seen before the disconnection of the cameras.
Raghav and Rick didn't waited anymore and ran towards the pipe, but even before they can start to climb it up, another blast happened.
Boom!!
They flew back away from the building by the strong impact of the blast. Kush & Charlie ran towards the two for help, the two stood up and without anymore delay, they ran again towards the pipe and started to climb.
Meanwhile inside the building, Rose stood at the corridor to check the closest room no to decide which way she should go.
This is room no. 22, she's in room no. 27, okay, this way. Calculating in her mind she ran towards the direction of the room.
Thud!!
Thud!!
Thud!!
Three large and strong kicks and the door slammed open. The room was filled with smoke, and fire.
Rose took a step to enter inside the room, but then suddenly everything froze up. She just stared at the fire with a horrified expression.
She looked at her surroundings to see the underground cell, just as she had seen previously in her dream. Before her was a girl looks just like her, sitting in her red bridal attire, without legs & hands. She was a bloody mess, the pungent smell in the air hit her nose to cringe up.
Her body turned cold, sweat beads appeared on her forehead, a chill ran down her spine as she just stared at the scene before her.
She heard some people's laugh and turned aside to see the same faces from her dream.
They were enjoying her misery, their cruel, bone chilling laughter entered in her ear.
Then suddenly she saw a man walking towards the girl with a plastic jar, her breathing laboured as she stared at the man pouring all the petrol onto the girl before him.
The girl screamed out in fear and pain as the fire started to burn her body speedily.
Helppp!!
Noooo!!
Plaeseee!!
Help!!
Rose crouched down on the floor closing her eyes shut and covering her ears to stop the desperate screams & the cruel laughters from reaching her ears.
She felt the extreme burning pain in her body, as if her body was on fire.
Nooo!!
Please!! Nooooo!!
Stoopp!!
It's painful!!
She screamed top of her lungs, her voice was laced with extreme fear & anxiety. Her body started to tremble violently while the pain in her head started to get intense.
She cried out in pain, the pain of the cruel betrayal, the pain of being burnt alive. Tears stream down from her eyes like a flowing river.
But then suddenly she felt a pair of arms holding her, she heard someone's whispering voice beside her ear, "Are you feeling pain? For whom? For those people, who wanted to burn you alive?
Open your eyes, look up, this is your possible future which you've to change. Look at those people, they are your enemies whom you have to punish for each of their merciless sins.
Stand up, you're not weak, you're not breakable, you're not a pushover. You're Rose, you're strong, you're brave, you're courageous, you're unbreakable, and you're a fighter. Stand up, it's not the time to break down, go ahead." The voice and the arms gradually disappeared into the air.
Her rationality slowly returned, her muddled brain started to work slowly, she inhaled deeply for a few times before opening her eyes to see her surroundings which had returned to normal.
Her eyes fall on the girl lying unconscious on the floor and she remembered what she was doing there, she glanced over her wrist watch to see only fifty seconds left, then without anymore delay she took a deep breath & walked inside and picked up the girl on her shoulder ignoring the sharp pain in her head.
Raghav and Rick had finally climbed up when they noticed her walking towards them with the girl. Rick quickly took the girl from her while Raghav hold her tightly in his arms.
** Flashback ended **
....
When they climbed down, she was already unconscious. They send all the girls to the camp with Kumar and took Rose with them.
Other than some very small and minor injuries she didn't suffered any big injury, they treated inside the jet, and after spending a dreadful night filled with her screams, painful cries they are now feeling a little relieved to see her smiling face.
"Nothing remarkable happened, the girl is alive and fine." Charlie skillfully avoided the topic without letting the girl realize it.
"But—"
"No more buts and if's, freshen up first, everyone is starving." Kush pulled her down from the bed and sent her to the washroom before stepping out of the room with others taking a sigh of relief.
They ate breakfast together before feeding her medicines. "How much time left?" Rose asked the hostess who was serving them.
The woman glanced over her watch before answering, "Seven hours, my lady." Rose nod and dismissed the girl.
...
After a long fourteen hours journey the plane landed onto the runway of B city at evening, four young, handsome, dashing & famous personalities stepped down.
"Welcome back to Country C!!" Kush announced cheerfully after climbing down the stairs. They high-fived with each other before stepping towards the airport.
Two of the girls walked side by side while the three boys followed them from behind. Charlie was wearing a black shorts paired with a peach colour T-shirt and a pair of white sneakers on her feet. Her hair was straightened down, there was specs over her eyes and a peach colour watch on her left wrist.
While Rose was wearing a black jeans shorts paired with a black T-shirt and a pair of black snickers on her feet. Her hair was also straightened down, with black goggles over her eyes and a black sports watch around her wrist. Each were carrying small shoulder bags.
While the boys were donning in casuals, shirts and jeans with loafers and watches.
Just as they exited from the gates cameras started to flash, people looked at them mesmerizedly.
The media was waiting for them, as the news of the miracle doctor, Dr. Sitara Singhania joining Chanakya has already spread across the country and every single person was excited to see the goddess of the medical field.
Not only that the youth icon, & the famous singer Charlie Chauhan and the three big names in the business world also returned to Country C, so it was a big news in itself.
"What is so amusing?" Charlie asked noticing the smirk on the girl's face.
