Chapter 8 - "Rajveer is a traitor?"

After a bewildered night of fear, palpitations and distraught we are now out of our andrenaline. I can't even move an inch of my muscle. Nate is in the same condition as mine. We both had puked everything we had due to sea sickness. But there was an odd one out among us. Rajveer repeatedly being the tough, stoned guy. The heat was scorching enough to peel and then melt our outer body. Rajveer finally broke his silence seeing our condition and asked us to have shallow dives into the sea to cool down the palpitating body. He also asked us to have our clothes on doing the same because naked body attracts sharks as our skin has the tendency to glow under the sun. While doing my final rep of divine diving i felt my reflection onto the surface of the dense water implicating pain and sorrow to us. Yeah i 'felt' because i am no longer the girl i used to be. With those precise spindles of brown hair falling onto my cheeks that inturn used to be red like fresh, moisturized cherries on a hill top due to smiling without a reason. But now i am just possessing a body with tanned, dull skin and heartless nature.

'The dock is here get ready to circulate some energy to sprincters and let's go to our new destination, Patagonia accomplished.' he cried. We were now in Budapest. The city got some serious architecture. And a nice matt black painted statue of a writer who according to official sources wrote some of the books regarding their history. The place is bustling with joy and adventure. People here are really nice too until some people touched my feet and said i came back. Whoa weird enough to convince me i came back in New York. Rajveer was handling a bag loaded with American dollars. I cajoled him to give me some to buy a new phone but i had to promise him i will not inculcate a sim to it. When i entered the shop Nate deliberately pulled me back out in the parking lot. 'Are you nuts?' he asked and unknowingly answering' I knew you will kiss me in a private place someday is it the day?' 'what you thought i pulled you all this way to kiss you and make love to you or something.' This was the moment when i fucked it up, atleast he knows that i thought he liked me. However after heated conversation we came back to the main topic of why he drew me here . 'We are all in the news. The headline, the main highlight, newspaper, telivision, internet everywhere'. " Sloane Maddison, a software engineer from the dating site of 'first kiss' had reportedly ran away with her boyfriend Amit Oberoi with the crown holding illahi Kohinoor'and a bag full of cash stolen from the house of buisness tycoon Flynn McKenzi assisting them is Nate Wheller a 23 years old skinny brat from the same tech company".' Omg they did bad to you Nate'. I exclaimed. 'But wait people are thinking Rajveer is my boyfriend and i ran away with him taking the crown and money i didn't even know about'. ' I have to enlighten people about what's the truth come on Nate '. ' Look who is nuts now, who out there will believe an already declared criminal?' ' apparantly the only thing we can do now is to ambush ourselves'. He got a point and now i realised i was a bigger dumbass than him.

We covered our contenance like any prime suspect of a robbery case and bought myself a smartphone. Just to click pictures to post in Instagram after the shit is over. Rajveer caught up with us and we had ourselves in a local cafe. After a moment of awkward silence i asked Rajveer if he knows everything why can't he acknowledge me with my own self. I wanted to know what he knows about me and does he knows that i once stole the question paper of ap chemistry in the high school. He claims he knows. ' Sloane Maddison 23 years old software engineer and developer who doesn't like her job just waiting for the appraisal. Hates her boss like any employee and he is going to wed Sylvie, two months from now'. 'Wait wait "he" means "Bob" right, 'yep' he says. 'Ok you know me but not in detail tell me something i don't know about myself or one of my deep secret. He says 'well i am not sure if you can take it but yeah, your mom passed away when you were 6, your dad was really notorious , he was in partnership with Flynn McKenzie. Back then McKenzies were not powerful as they are now, it was the Maddison era. Your father Lee Maddison was a smuggler of weapons ranging from the states to whole of South America. He use to sell narco products as well making him a drug lord, can you take this much'. 'You are lying i never saw my father he was dead even before i was born.' i cried.

'Do you remember the guy who used to play with you in the park. Every evening', i added in between '6 pm St Mary park South Carolina, he used to bring me gifts during Christmas and New year's Eve. His mom used to call him "Motu" which in Hindi means "fatso", probably the only Indian word ik'. ' Yeah what's with him is he dead?' i asked hurriedly, with him answering 'no you fool it's me i am working out now!!' i was awestruck listening to this. I buy that and we hugged each other. 'You totally slayed it man' i surprisingly said. After some nostalgia we had the conversation ahead he told me 'Lee was a great man, he was called the Robinhood of our town as he used to donate half of his wealth to destitutes, but his relations with McKenzie were getting worse. Flynn wanted to take over the whole Maddison empire out of greed, so he controversially killed your father and left you and mother to escape out of the hell and you started your new life there in New York'. My eyes were filled with tears and heart with grief. Before i can say anything he told me 'Well i am not a good person now!'. 'What did you do' i asked, i was suppose to steal the crown which i did and give it back to the authorities but i kept it and now fled away so government will also threaten us.'

Then the very next moment he took out the crown of a box with hard metal and advance digital teach support to keep it safe' he handed me the box and told me he has some work to take care of, he will be there in 5 minutes. But little did we know we were going to be abducted. I and Nate were shown guns to take things out of us. We were inside of a van with no ventilation and Nate was bleeding heavily! I frustantingly asked 'why are you doing this to us','what have we done, leave us.' They substantiated 'Don't act fool give us the box you got with the crown we work for McKenzies, the guy who had this box showed the crown in the camera and left you alone kids'. I was listening them but not even a single word had my brain'. But i only heard Nate quoting 'Rajveer is a traitor.' And i was fully paranoid asking 'Rajveer is a traitor?'
