Gopal could feel Mahi wanted to escape hence she was trying her all to get away from him. Hence he misidentified as she was trying to run when she took a step back.
He sprung towards her to catch hold of her but before his hand could reach midway, Mahi swung her leg with all the force and energy she could muster up by aiming his head below his jawline.
Her aim was the nerve next to his throat to give the pain that reaches his pressure point and keep hold of his breath.
Gopal eyes widened at her maneuver and he quickly reacted by pulling the carpet under her feet to lose her balance.
'Thud.'
The speed of Gopal was a little late and his mistake was getting near her. Mahi kicked him right at her target before her left foot lost balance and fell on the couch.
Gopal's head hit the coffee table with a painful strong force. His chin had swollen, he felt his entire body go numb due to sharp pain at the nerve and his head hit the corner of the coffee table. He fell on the floor dizzily unable to believe what was happening.
She never in her dreams thought of hurting anybody. She always forgave the ones who hurt her, how deeper it may be. So seeing him groaning in pain when she had the chance to leave, she still cried without understanding why her life was in jeopardy.
Now she was in an unknown place where the man who is always entitled as ideal in every relation, who was praised as a role model by the media was lying on the floor completely naked.
Seeing Gopal recover quickly, she knew she had to take action quickly else nobody could save her if he killed her right then and there. She might have given in to anything but this was something no girl would agree to accept.
She got up quickly and yelled as she swung her leg behind, "What have I ever done to you?"
Before her leg could swing front, Gopal who was still unsteady getting up the floor bellowed in horror, "Heyyyy…."
Mahi swung her leg squeezing her eyes shut before running towards the door hearing Gopal Krishna holler in extreme pain.
Was her kick that strong? She didn't know and she didn't care. 'Run run run…' She had nothing in mind but to run away from there. She ran out of the room and sprinted without looking right or left.
When she saw the elevator, she realized it wasn't the ground floor and darted towards it with blurry vision due to tears as her left hand pressed her right arm due to pain.
...
"By the time I came out, my shadow guards are already searching for me. When they found me running outside the elevator in such messy apperance they informed Dhurva, Dhurva came and take me to his dungeon."
"I lost sight of who I was. I lost sight of the confident woman that my foundation was built upon." She lifted her head and stared out the window. The sky was beautiful and seemed picturesque, which was a stark contrast to her tainted and gloomy past.
"I needed a way to escape everything that has happened and the things I've done. I didn't want to be here anymore, I needed change." She thought back to the memory.
"Dhruva told me running is never a solution, l have to see my scars to apply medicine on it. After that Dhruva teach me every single thing about fighting not by traning but by taking me with him on his missions. It is quiet difficult in starting but I adapt everything eventually."
"I wore mask and sunshade to protect my identity during 1 year of training period. So, yeh... that's how things happened."
"If you're this awesome, why didn't you beat that bastard Hrithik?" Natasha clip suddenly.
"I don't know, I just feel numb at that time. Maybe because he was my friend or...."
"Okay! that's enough. Have some rest." Avatar cut her off because he didn't want to listen her confession. He never ask anything that happen in Australia because he feel very uncomfortable, even thinking about the fact that she like someone before.
"Okay! Okay! one last question please. What happen to Vineet, Grace and Gopal?" Natasha ask excitedly.
"I'll tell you later. I'm very sleepy right now." Mahi said with a bored look. But she is really glad they didn't judge her.
"Okay byee!" Natasha said and give a tight hug to Mahi before moving toward door.
"Where is Divya?" Mahi ask with a frown, it's been a while she saw Divya. She didn't met her from a long time.
"Don't know, she vanish into thin air." Karthik said sadly "But don't worry she's safe, she's with her family. I look for her, her neighbours told me she move out with her family and they are very happy also."
"Okay! but why didn't she contact us, if she's moving." Mahi ask with a complicated expression.
"No idea, rest we'll talk later."
Mahi pursed her lips and gave him a nod. She's pretty sure this man have something to talk with her.
