Chereads / Undead Nation / Chapter 20 - Chapter 17: Truth

Chapter 20 - Chapter 17: Truth

Setting: Mumbai city, Lokhandwala, Star Tower Apartments

Day: Tuesday (9th February 2021)

(At night while everybody is asleep)

Ranveer (Thinking): These girls have their speciality. Sana is good at rapid fire and dual wielding, Samaira even though taking the kickback of the gun is still not easy for her, her aim is even more accurate than Sana she could be a good sniper as for Sara her shooting was average. With her, I guess I need another day to know her speciality.

(Ranveer closes his eyes and takes rest)

Setting: Mumbai city, Lokhandwala, Star Tower Apartments

Day: Wednesday (10th February 2021)

(Ranveer wakes up and goes to wake up the girls)

Ranveer: Wake up girl-

(The girls were awake when Ranveer opened the door of their room)

Sana: Don't you know it's rude to enter a women's room without her permission?

Sara: What if we were changing our clothes right now?

(Ranveer looks at them)

Ranveer: Well then it would've been a feast for my eyes, wouldn't it?

(Sana gets angry and raises her hands to slap him)

Sana (Angry): You pervert!!

(Samaira and Sara stop Sana from slapping Ranveer)

Samaira: Calm down!

Sara: Exactly!

Samaira: He was just joking!! Right?! tell her!

Ranveer (Laughing): Yeah I was just joking. So don't take it too seriously.

(Sana calms down a bit)

(Ranveer starts to walk towards the drawing-room)

(Ranveer stops)

Ranveer: But you know? I wouldn't mind seeing all three of you naked.

(Sana, Sara and Samaira get embarrassed and Sana gets angry and starts attacking Ranveer)

Sana (Embarrassed and angry): I am going to kill you!

(Sana moves forward to punch Ranveer)

(Ranveer dodges her easily)

Sara: Stop it!

(Ranveer puts his leg forward and makes Sana trip)

(Sana was about to fall face-first on the floor but Ranveer catches her and prevents her from falling)

(Ranveer looks at her face)

Ranveer: You are short-tempered, aren't you? Calm down!

Sana (Blushing and looks away): How long do you plan on holding me?

Ranveer: How long do you want me to hold you?

Sana (Embarrassed): Just let go of me will you?

Ranveer: Okay!

(Ranveer removes her hand from her back and Sana drops on her back)

Sana: Ow!

Ranveer: Let's begin with the training!

(Sana gets up and sits on the floor)

(Sana looks at Ranveer)

Sana (Thinking): This man is such a jerk!!

(Sara and Samaira help Sana get back at her feet)

Samaira: Are you alright?

Sana: Yeah!

Sara: You know you get angry quite easily! You should know how to ignore remarks made by him

Sana: But!!

(Ranveer interrupts them)

Ranveer: Alright! I want all of you to attack me.

(The girls look at Ranveer with a little shock)

Sara: You want all of us to attack you?!

Ranveer: Yes!

Samaira: But why?!

Sana: Why should that matter?! Let's just kick his ass!!

(Sana runs towards Ranveer and throws a punch aiming at his face)

(Ranveer takes a step sideways and hits Sana's neck with his hand)

Sana: Coughs*

(Sana starts coughing and takes a step backwards due to the attack)

Sara: Are you okay?

Samaira: Sana! Are you alright!

(Sana continues coughing)

Ranveer: What are you two waiting for? attack me!

(Sana and Samaira gulp due to nervousness)

(They move towards Ranveer to attack him)

(Samaira tries to kick Ranveer in the stomach but Ranveer blocks her kick and pulls it towards himself and then he leaves it which makes Samaira fall on her back)

Samaira (In pain): Ouch!!

(Sara throws a punch towards Ranveer)

(Ranveer blocks it with his hand but Sara grabs Ranveer's hand and pulls him towards herself. Then she forms a fist and throws a punch aiming at Ranveer's face)

Ranveer (Thinking): So that's her speciality!

(Ranveer blocks the punch with his other hand but he takes a step back due to the impact)

(Ranveer looks at Sara with a bit of shock)

Ranveer (Thinking): Melee combat!

Samaira: Woah! Sara is amazing!

Sana: Don't you know?! Sara is a second-degree black belt in Judo!

(Sara runs towards Ranveer and aims a kick towards Ranveer's knee)

(Ranveer jumps and dodges the kick)

Ranveer: You're quite good! At least compared to the rest!

(Ranveer runs towards Sara and makes a fist and aims it towards her face and throws a punch)

(Sara dodges the punch but then she gets punched in her stomach by Ranveer's other hand)

Sara: Gackh!!

(Sara falls down)

Samaira: Are you alright?! Sara!

Sara (In pain): I am fine!

(Sana looks at Ranveer)

Sana: You don't show any mercy, do you?!

Ranveer: Well your enemies won't show any mercy to you either!

(Ranveer looks at all of them)

Ranveer: But I guess you knew that, didn't you?

(Sana, Sara and Samaira look downwards)

Ranveer: Oh well! Let's continue with our training!

(Ranveer helps all three of them to get back on their feet)

(Ranveer tells them to punch the punching bag in front of them continuously)

(Sara, Sana and Samaira start to punch the punching bag)

(Ranveer looks towards Sara and then he looks towards his hands)

Ranveer (Smirks): She's physically stronger than me. I mean she is a black belt. The only reason I won against her was that I tricked her. I've also been in a real fight too! I guess that also might be the reason why I won.

(Ranveer looks towards Sara while she was training)

Ranveer (Thinking): But if that's the case! Then why was her physical state so bad when I met her for the first time?!

(Sara starts to feel that Ranveer is looking at her and she looks back towards Ranveer but Ranveer quickly turns his head to the other side before she could confirm her suspicion)

Ranveer (Thinking): Why am I thinking about what happened to her? It doesn't matter anyway.

(Ranveer starts his training)

(Sun goes down)

Sana (Tired): My God! I am so damn sore!!!

Sara (Tired): I can't feel my hands!!!

Samaira (Tired): I don't even feel like talking right now!!

Ranveer: Stop acting so dramatic!

Sara (Tired): Dramatic?!?!?! Say did you even train like this or are you just trying to piss us off?!

Ranveer: Well.. the old man would beat me with a stick while I would be running on the treadmill.

(Sana listens to Ranveer while he was speaking about her uncle)

Sana: Well he should've never taken you in the first place.

(Ranveer looks towards Sana)

Samaira: Sana! Calm down!

Sana: But I guess it's not his fault! I mean how could he have known that you would betray him?!

Sara: Sana!!

Sana: Don't worry I won't attack and even if I did try, I wouldn't be able to hurt him because I am weak!

(Sana looks at Ranveer)

Sana: Right?!

(Ranveer looks into Sana's eyes)

Ranveer: Exactly!

(Sana starts to walk past Ranveer)

Samaira: Where are you going?

Sana (In anger): I am going to take a bath!!

(Ranveer smiles a bit)

(Samaira follows after Sana)

(Sara looks towards Ranveer)

Sara: She's just upset so don't take whatever she says personally.

Ranveer: Personally? She just said the truth, didn't she? I did kill her uncle with my own hands.

Sara (Thinking): You say that but looking at you I just can't digest that you did kill her uncle in cold blood! I mean then why would you even save us if you were just a cold-blooded murderer?!

(Ranveer looks towards Sara)

Ranveer: You should go for a shower too! You're sweating a lot!

(Sara gets embarrassed)

Sara (Embarrassed): Yeah! I am going!

Ranveer: I think I made her angry too!

Ranveer: Whatever!

(After sometime Ranveer goes for his bath and makes food for the girls and himself but Sana does not show up for dinner)

(Sara and Samaira start eating)

Sara: How do you make such good food?!

Samaira: Exactly!!

Ranveer: It's not that the food is good it's just because you're too hungry after today's training that makes you feel that the food is tastier.

Sara: I guess but still!

(Samaira looks at the empty plate that was meant for Sana)

Samaira: I hope she could eat this too!

Sara: I know!

Ranveer: Don't worry. I've already kept some of it for her in the fridge. She will feel hungry at some point, wouldn't she?

Sara: You're right!

(After sometime Samaira had fallen asleep due to eating too much)

(Ranveer and Sara take her to her bed)

(Ranveer walks towards the balcony to look outside)

(Sara looks at him and walks towards him)

(Ranveer looks at Sara coming towards her)

Ranveer: Shouldn't you be resting too?

Sara: Well as of now I don't feel sleepy.

Ranveer: I see. You know you should take your rest otherwise you won't be able to train properly tomorrow.

Sara: Actually I have something to ask you?

Ranveer: Something to ask me? I wonder what that would be?

(Ranveer looks towards Sara)

Ranveer: Well what is it?

(Sara looks at Ranveer nervously)

Sara: Did...Did you actually kill Sana's uncle in cold blood?

(Ranveer's eyes widen up)
