Chapter 33 - Chapter 30: Believe

Setting: Mumbai city, Lokhandwala, Galaxy Mall

Day: Monday(15th February 2021)

Samaira: Shut up!

Sana: Don't even say a word anymore!

Sara: Listen to us now!

(Ranveer looks toward them)

Sara: You're not going to die!!

(Ranveer's eyes widen)

Samaira: You made a deal with us. Don't you remember?! You promised to take us to the yacht and in return, we will let you come with us, don't you remember?!

Sana: As for your death, don't you dare die before I kill you!! Do you get it?!

(Ranveer smiles and smiles and nods his head)

(Ranveer looks at Sana, Samaira and Sara)

Ranveer: Since you, girls believe that I am not gonna die then I will try my best to not die.

(Sana, Sara and Samaira calm down a bit)

Ranveer: Well then I've got the book I was looking for. Let's go!

(Ranveer starts walking out of the book store)

(Sara grabs Ranveer's hand and says)

Sara: You're not going anywhere!

Ranveer: What?!

Sana: Exactly! You've had your fun! Now rest.

Ranveer: But-

Samaira: You also have to take your medicine!

(Ranveer sighs as a gesture that he will not argue with them anymore)

Ranveer: Fine!

(Sana, Sara and Samaira take Ranveer to the first floor)

Ranveer: Hey! I thought I was resting in the diner.

Sara: You were! but there's a furniture store here too.

Sana: Would you rather sleep on a wooden table than on an actual bed?

Ranveer: Of course not!

Samaira: Good! So just rest here for some days!

(Ranveer, Sara, Sana and Samaira reach the store and make Ranveer lie down on the bed)

Samaira: Here! Take this medicine.

(Samaira gives him a pill and a bottle of water)

(Ranveer takes the medicine and swallows it with water)

Ranveer: You girls do know that this is temporary right?

Samaira: What do you mean?

(The girls look at Ranveer with confusion)

Ranveer: I am talking about this peaceful day we are having today!

Sana: We know.

Sara: Exactly!

Ranveer: As soon as the bombs are made. We are leaving this place. Even if I don't heal properly!

Sana: But isn't that too soon!

Sara: You should rest for at least rest a bit longer!

Samaira: Yeah! Please reconsider!

Ranveer: I am going to do no such thing!

(The girls get a bit taken aback)

Ranveer: The fact of the matter is this place as of now is just a pseudo haven!! One of its sides is under construction and we don't know how long we will have the electricity for. For all, I know there can be a power outage right now!

(The girls sulk a bit)

Samaira: Fine but just rest for now!

Sana: Yeah!

(Ranveer closes his eyes and after some time he falls asleep)

Sara: "As soon as the bombs are made.", huh?

Sana: How much time will it take?

Samaira: Well we have that engineer making it for us at the most it will take 3 days!

Sara: Will Ranveer be alright?! I mean I know he will not be completely healed but will he be able to defend himself?

Samaira: Well the bullet didn't pass through his body and because of his muscles contracting and the distance from which he had been shot the bullet didn't move very deep inside his shoulder, luckily it didn't even touch his bone. So he would be able to defend himself but he will still not be able to move his left shoulder for about three weeks.

Sana: I see!

Sara: Say should we tell the engineer to slow down the process!

Samaira: Let's not do that!

Sana: Why?!

Samaira: I mean Ranveer is right! We don't know how long this place will even hold up and if we deliberately slow down the process of the weapon-making then we would not only be jeopardizing our lives but also the lives of the people we just fought to save!

(The girls think but can't get any ideas)

Sana: Well I think we will have to save him when he's in danger.

Sara: Yeah you're right I mean he has even trained us.

Samaira: Yeah! We should now be capable of at least protecting him!

(After some time the girls hear a loud noise)

Sana: What was that?

Samaira: I'd don't know!

Sara: Let's check it out!

(Sana, Sara and Samaira had their weapons in their hands and they started to move cautiously)

(They see a person running towards them and get ready to shoot but to their dismay that person was Akshay)

Akshay: Listen!

Sana: You?!

Sara: What the hell are you doing here?!

Samaira: What's going on?! Why do you look so worried?!

Akshay: Zombies!!!

(Sana, Sara and Samaira get shocked)

Sana: How is that even possible we locked the entire mall!!

Sara: Exactly!! There should not be any place from which zombies should be able to enter the mall!

Samaira: Yeah!! You're not lying to us, are you?!

Akshay: I am not! The zombies entered the mall from an area that was under construction! It was covered by rock even the exit was locked due to the rocks but somehow those zombies broke through the rocks!!

Sara: What?!

Ranveer: There must be Bursters with those zombies!

(Sana, Sara, Samaira and Akshay look behind and they see Ranveer awake)

Akshay: What are 'Bursters'?!

Ranveer: They are zombies that use their bodies full strength at once, luckily they can only use their strength once as they break their bones after exerting themselves!

Sana: Why are you awake?!

Sara: Yeah you need to take rest!

Samaira: Exactly!

Ranveer: Well you were gonna wake me up right now, weren't you?

(The girls don't say anything)

Ranveer: Thought so!

(Ranveer looks at Akshay)

Ranveer: How many zombies are there?

Akshay: More than 50!

(Ranveer grabs his Jacket)

(Sana, Sara and Samaira try to stop him)

Sana: Wait!

Sara: Ranveer wait, you still can't fight!

Samaira: Ranveer stop!

Ranveer: Calm down it's not like I am gonna die.

Sana: You might though!

Sara: Exactly! You haven't even healed properly!!

Samaira: Listen you need rest, you can't just go out and fight zombies!!

Ranveer: Where are the zombies Akshay?

Akshay: Ground floor!

(Sana, Sara and Samaira try to stop Ranveer)

Samaira: Ranveer please stop!

Sana: Just calm down Ranveer!!

Sara: Please just stop!

(Ranveer looks at the girls and says)

Ranveer: Listen! We've had a deal that I will take you, girls, to your Yacht safely if you're afraid that I will be unable to do that?! Then don't worry I just promised you girls, didn't I?

(The girl look at Ranveer with concern)

Akshay (Thinking): Woah! This scene is top tier wholesome! Wait I am forgetting the real situation!

Akshay: Ranveer we don't have time!!

Ranveer: Are you ready with your weapons?

Akshay: Yeah!

Ranveer: Then let's go!

(Ranveer and Akshay walk out of the store)

(As soon as they leave the store Sana, Sara and Samaira follow them with their weapons)

Ranveer: So you girls have decided to come!

Sara: Do you think we have any other choice?!

Sana: Exactly!! Your reckless actions leave us no choice!

Samaira: Honestly I feel like becoming like you day by day!

(Ranveer smiles)

Ranveer: Fine then! Let's kill some zombies!

.

(After some time Ranveer, Akshay, Sara, Sana and Samaira reach the ground floor and start seeing the zombies. They start to shoot at the zombies)

Ranveer: Where are the others Akshay?!

Akshay: They have locked themselves inside the electronic store but the zombies are about to break the glass doors!!

Ranveer: Alright!

.

(Inside the electronic store)

Tia (Crying): These things will eat me!!

Lady: Calm down Tia! Just close your eyes and everything will be over!!

Person (1): Oh no! What are we gonna do?!

Person (2): We are gonna die!!

Ahmed: Calm down everyone!!

(Tania and Samar had guns in their hands pointing at the zombies outside the store)

Samar: Damn it! What the hell!!

Tania: What are we gonna do now?!

Samar: I don't know! Hey how are those bombs coming along?!

Jay: I need a but more time!

Jay (Thinking): Damn it! What am I supposed to do now?! What if for the moment I just make it explosive by playing around with its wiring and forget about the sound function.

(Music plays a bit away from them)

(The zombies look in the direction of the music and start running in that direction)

Samar (Thinking): Luckily, we had tinted the glass otherwise maybe even the music wouldn't have been able to save us! Talking about the music Where did the music even come from?!

Tania: Samar did you hear that?! Where is the music coming from?!.

Jay (Thinking): Thank God!! We were just saved but how?!

(After some time everybody sees Ranveer, Akshay, Sana, Sara and Samaira outside the store!)

Tia (Smiling): Big brother is here!

(Samar opens the door of the store)

Samar: Were you the ones that played the music?

Ranveer: No time to explain! Just come out with everyone and quietly, we are leaving this place.
