45. No first night for Brahmam

CHAPTER 45

No first night for Brahmam

          The bed was fully decorated with flowers. Brahmam was sitting on the bed. It was his first night with Mohini after marriage. Mohini entered with a glass of milk. Brahmam was excited. He got up and approached Mohini. As he touched her hand, she was shy.

“What do you like?” Asked Mohini.

Brahmam said lovingly, “I like two things. You and Chandamama stories.”

Mohini was excited. “Do you like stories so much?”

Brahmam kept the glass of milk on one side. “Can you tell me stories? I will listen to them whole night.”

“I will tell thousand stories for thousand nights. One story per night. Shall we start?”

Brahmam sat in a comfortable position to lisen to the story.

Mohini started telling the story. “There was a princess like me in a city. A prince like you married that princess. At that time a devil entered the city in the disguise of a thief. He wanted to kidnap the princess some how or the other.”

Brahmam got excited. “What happened next?”

“That devil with black face is looking through that window with the intension of kidnapping me.”

Brahmam looked at the window. There he saw a devil with back face staring at him. Brahmam was shocked. “Is that the devil who has come to kidnap this princess?”

“Yes. Now the prince runs behind him with the intension of catching him. He runs towards the hill in search of the devil. He searches whole night. When the sun rises, the devil disappears. The prince returns home.”

Brahmam got up with excitement. “Princess, I will not let him escape. I will go to the hills and search for him.”

Mohini pointed to the door. “Go through this door.”

She opened the door. Brahmam ran out of the house. Mohini immediately closed the door and opened another door. Yedu entered with his face all blackened.

Mohini hugged Yedu happily. “Didn’t I tell you that the final touch is for you only?”

She made Yedu drink the milk. “I will tell him one story daily and send him to the hills. Then I will take the final touch from you.”

44. All are happy

CHAPTER 44

All are happy

          Inspector Chandru phoned CI Ashok. “What you said is true. Not a single rowdie is alive. He has finished them off single handed.”

Ashok laughed. “He is not an ordinary man. I can get the jobs which I used to do as encounter specialist done by him now.”

“I have written the case report as gang war. MLA is shouting hoarse as if his own son has died. Chakri was his right hand. But the villagers are having a party today.”

“But we must protect him. That will be a good deed done by our department. There are many more rowdies in my list.”

**********************************************************

          Maestri reached home and took bath. Wiping his head, looking at his mother, Maestri said, “Mother, if the non-veg food is ready, give me in a plate. I will go and give it to sleeping Madesha. He will get up and eat happily.”

**************************************************

         

Maestri kept the plate with non-veg food near Madesha’s grave. “I have finished off all those who were involved in your death. Get up and eat happily.”

**********************************************************

          Maestri returned home and sat with others to eat non-veg dinner happily.

Looking at him, Sakamma said, “After Madesha died, after so many days, it is the first time that you are eating so happily.”

With satisfaction and happiness, Maestri said, “He will also eat with satisfaction today. His soul will lie in peace.”

43. Maestri finishes off Chakri

CHAPTER 43

Maestri finishes off Chakri

          It was an estate in the outskirts of the city. Chakri and his gang had surrounded the farmer and his son.

Looking at the farmer, Chakri said, “Sign on the paper and take the mone without creating any problems.”

Farmer was feeling scared. “We will sell our land to anyone we feel like. Or we will not sell if we don’t want to. Who are you to come to our village and threaten us like this?”

Chakri got very angry. “We are not taking your land for free. We are paying for it. Other farmers have given their land to me out of fear, haven’t they? If you give by yourself, it is ok. Otherwise you know about those men who have died for opposing me.”

Son said, “I will not sign even if you kill me. I will talk to the MLA if needed.”

Chakri laughed loudly. “MLA is a partner to this land deal. I will call him and you can talk to him now itself.”

He punched the MLA’s number and handed over the cell to farmer’s son. “Ask your MLA.”

But the son threw the cell to the ground.

Chakri got very angry. “Bastard. How can you do that? I will kill you. I will get another man to sign for you and get your land registered.”

Farmer folded his hands. “Please don’t harm my son. He is my only son. I will sign where ever you want.”

Meanwhile Maestri parked his bike outside the gate of the estate and entered. Rowdies had already started driking. Bar girls were dancing on the stage. Music was going on in loud volume. As Maestri entered the hall, rowdies recognised him.

Driver shouted, “Punch Maestri has come.”

Rowdies started running away. Maestri took out his sword and started attacking them. Fight started.

Girls were all scared. But Maestri did not touch them. “I will not harm you. Keep dancing.”

Maestri continued to hit the men with his sword. Many of them died on the spot. Maestri picked up one man and asked, “Where is your boss Chakri?”

The man pointed to the stairs. Maestri dragged the man up the stairs. When they reached the room, the man pointed to Chakri and said, “That is Chakri.”

At the same time, farmer was getting ready to sign the papers.

Rowdie was pointing to Chakri. Maestri swung his sword and cut off the man’s neck in one swing. The man fell down in a pool of blood. Chakri was shocked. His men attacked Maestri with their swords. Fight started again.

Chakri and four men ran outside. Seeing this Maestri ran after them. He killed the four men and raised his sword to kill Chakri.

Chakri folded his hands and pleaded. “Pleas leave me alone. Don’t kill me.”

Maestri put his leg on Chakri’s chest and said, “Did you realise the value of life now? Didn’t you realise it when you were taking my brother’s life?”

Looking at the men, Maestri said, “This bastard killed my innocent brother. Killing people is common for them. I know this man’s history. He has been a rowdie since last 10 years and already killed 20 to 30 innocent people. Tell me how I must deal with him.”

People come nearer. “Brother, this fellow has already killed 10 farmers in our village. Police and court did not do anything. He keeps coming to our village again and again. We are forced to sell our agricultural land to him out of fear.”

Another man said angrily, “First you finish him off. If you let him escape, he will kill more innocent people.”

Maestri thought for a while and said, “Let us do one thing. I will allow you to finish off this man by yourself. Start taking off his body parts.”

People came forward. Maestri gave one punch to Chakri, who fell down among the villagers. They take the swords from the hands of the dead rowdies and attack Chakri. They cut off his hands and other body parts. Chakri shouted and pleaded. But the villagers hand no pity for the demon. They finish him off.

The farmer folded his hands to Maestri. “You have appeared just in time to save me by finishing off the rowdies.”

Maestri smiled. “If good people have to live, bad people have to die. When the police come, tell them that their rival gang came and finished them off.”

Maestri took his bike and left. People stood watching with folded hands.

42. CI encourages Maestri to finish off rowdies

CHAPTER 42

CI encourages Maestri to finish off rowdies

          All villagers had gathered at the burial spot. Madesha’s body was buried. Everybody was silent. Some were crying.

CI Ashok put his hand on Maestri’s back. “You must be brave.”

Maestri was sad and angry. “Sir, put them all in jail. They must be hanged. Then only my brother will lie in peace and my anger will die down.”

“Maestri, you are very innocent. You don’t know anything about modern world.”

“Sir, I am just a milkman. I grew up amoung the cows. I just go to the city and sell milk.”

“For that Chakri, your brother is the 21^st victim.”

Maestri was shocked. “Why is the police and court silent in spite of that?”

“Police and court is there. Many policemen have fallen for the money these rowedies give. But not all policemen are like that. But rowdies are becoming leaders and ministers. Chakri has the backing of such rowdie ministers. Chakri kills and escapes for lack of witness. He is able to go to jail when he wishes and come out when he wishes too. Today he has killed Madesha, tomorrow he will kill another innocent man.”

Maestri got very angry. “Sir, police and court may let off that Chakri. But I will not.  I will search all over the city for him. I will not leave him even if he hides in hell. I will not allow him to kill another man like Madesha.”

Ashok took Maestri a bit away. “I will support you. We must finish him off. I will keep an eye on him and give you information about his hideout. You must finish hom off. But you must come out of the mess without any witness.”

Maestri was surprised. He nodded and put his hand on CI’s hand. “Yes sir. Today Madesha died. But we must not allow another Madesha to die tomorrow. We must finish off all those demons. I will take the sword in these hands which were just milking cows till today. I will finish them all.”

Ashok was very happy. “Good. I will back you. I will make you do the job I was doing when I was the encounter specialist.”

******************************************************

          Maestri was having lunch in his house when his cell rang. It was CI Ashok.

Ashok was standing outside the police station talking on the phone. “Time has come to bring peace to Madesha’s soul. Chakri is having a party in a village with those who killed Madesha. They are getting ready to kill another farmer in connection with a land deal.”

Maestri was shocked. “I will play with their blood. Before they kill that farmer, I will finish off all of them.”

“I know your strength. I have also called up that area inspector so that you will be safe.”

“Ok sir. I will leave immediately.”

He entered house and put on pant shirt.

Sakamma was observing Maestri getting dressed up to go out. “I have put food in the plate for you. Eat before you go.”

“No mother. I have some important work to do. When I finish my work and return, you can give me non-veg dinner.”

Sakamma looked at her son in surprise. Maestri fixed the sword inside his shirt at the back and took his bike.
