Sidharth and Kushal hurriedly came to the place and met Shivangi.

"Kya hogaya? Kaha gayi Shehnaaz?" Asked Kushal to Shivangi who was  hell scared and worried.

"Paata nahi... Woh achanak se... Gayab ho gayi..." Said Shivangi in broken words.

"Gayab ho gayi matlab? Kya bakwas hai yeh? Aise kaise gayab ho sakti hai woh?" Yelled Sidharth making Shivangi more scared, she was shivering. Sidharth's eyes were bloodshot red, with the thought of Shehnaaz being in any danger. The fear of losing her grew inside his heart.

"Woh... Hum dono ghar wapas aa rahe the, raaste mein college ke kuch books kharid ne ke liye ruke the... Woh bookstore ki taraf chali gayi, main bhi jaane wali thi ki mera call aa gaya... Phir jab bookstore ki taraf dekha... toh woh udhar nahi thi... Maine andar jaa ke usse dhunda bhi lekin, woh nahi mili... Sirf yeh mila mujhe..."

Shivangi gave him Shehnaaz's engagement ring and Sidharth felt his heartbeat stopped. He took the ring and teardrops fell from his eyes. His fear came true, his Naazo was in danger.

"Jiju... Aap Mafia ho toh aap ke bohut saare dushman honge..  kahi unn mein se kisi ne Shehnaaz ko koi nuksaan toh...."

"Nahi!" Shouted Sidharth making Shivangi scared. "Jab tak main zinda hoon meri Shehnaaz ko koi nuksaan nahi pohucha sakta. Kushal har jagah inform kar de, hum kahi se bhi usse dhund nikaalenge. Aur jisne bhi yeh ghatiya harkat kiyi hai, woh aaj zinda nahi bachega."

Sidharth fisted his palm, already killed the person in his mind who tried to harm Shehnaaz.

Kushal was about to inform everyone when suddenly Sidharth's phone buzzed and he took it. He received few photos from an unknown number. His eyes got widened in shock seeing the photos.

Shehnaaz was sitting on a chair, her hands and legs were tied with ropes, her eyes were closed as she was unconscious and there were bruises on her face. Sidharth's heart pained seeing her in that condition and at the same time, his blood boiled thinking about the person who was behind this. He sweared to God that he would burn him alive as he dared to touch her.

Suddenly he recieved a message.

"Agar apni mehbooba ko zinda dekhna chahta hai toh ek location bhej raha hoon, udhar aa jaa, akele. Koi hoshiyari karne ki koshish kiyi toh teri hone wali biwi nahi, uski dead body milegi tujhe."

Sidharth immediately kept his phone inside and said, "Mujhe jaana hoga."

"Kaha jaa raha hai tu?" Asked Kushal being confused.

"Shehnaaz ko bachane. Agar main abhi nahi gaya toh bohut der ho jayegi. Main...main phir se usse nahi kho sakta...Kisi bhi kimat mein nahi..."

Saying that, Sidharth left from there.

"Main aa raha hoon Naazo... Tujhe kuch nahi hoga I promise..." He said in his mind while his fear was increasing by each passing second.

Meanwhile...

Shehnaaz opened her eyes slowly and found herself in a dark room. She tried to move but couldn't as she was tied to the chair.

"Main...kaha...hoon?" She whispered in a tired voice. Her body was paining like hell.

"Akhir tu uth hi gayi." Said Nawaz Bhai coming in front her. Shehnaaz became shocked and scared seeing him.

"Nawaz...Bhai..." She uttered.

"Kya socha tha? Tu mujhe koi bhi nakli file pakda degi aur main chup chap baitha rahunga, kuch nahi karunga, haan? Mera plan humesha se Sidharth ko maar na tha, lekin mere liye woh akele karna impossible tha. Isliye bohut dino se taiyari kar raha tha main, chahiye tha bas ek mauka. Socha tha file ke zariye Sidharth ka business uska sab kuch haraf lunga aur phir jab uske paas koi power nahi bachegi toh usko khatam kar dunga. Lekin teri wajah se woh plan fail hogaya. Isliye maine phir se tujhe hi mohra bana ke Sidharth ko yaaha bulaya. Kyu ki ek tu hi hai uski kamzori. Woh aayega tujhe bachane ke liye, aur marega mere haathon."

Saying that, Nawaz Bhai gave an evil laugh and Shehnaaz closed her eyes. She couldn't even think of it. She had faith in her Raghuveer, nothing would happen to her Sidharth.

"Sidharth tum please idhar mat aana, chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye... Mujhe apni jaan ki fikar nahi hai, par main tumhe kuch nahi hone de sakti..." She thought while tears rolled down her cheeks.

After sometime few goons brought Sidharth inside. They had taken away his gun and phone and made him stand in front of Nawaz Bhai.

As soon as Sidharth's eyes fell on Nawaz Bhai, he became shocked. He couldn't understand what he was doing here.

"Kya hua? Hairani hui mujhe dekh ke? Arrey main hi toh hoon, tera sabse bada dushman." Said Nawaz Bhai laughing while Sidharth became totally blank.

"Nawaz Bhai aap... Aap ne yeh sab kiya? Gaddari kiyi mere saath?" He asked with disbelief. He never thought that the person whom he always respected as his elder brother, would backstab him.

"Haan. Kiyi gaddari... Badla jo lena tha mujhe... Tere Baap se." Said Nawaz Bhai with despise. "Bachpan mein mere Maa Baap ko meri aankhon ke saamne maara tha unhone."

"Unn logo ne rivals ke saath haath milaya tha isliye... Dhokha diya tha Dad ko..."

"Isliye maine bhi de diya... Dhokha... Apne Maa Baap ka badla lene ke liye... Saalon tak unke wafadar bane rehne ki acting kiyi. Phir ek din jab mauka mila toh unka accident kara ke coma mein pohucha diya...."

Nawaz Bhai smirked while Sidharth and Shehnaaz became shocked hearing that.

"Aap ne mere Dad ko...."

Sidharth couldn't even complete. Anger rushed through his veins.

"Chahta toh maar bhi sakta tha. Lekin jaan bujh ke unhe zinda rakha. Kyu ki tadpana tha unhe. Aur woh tadap unhe tabhi mehsoos hoti jab woh kisi apne ko marta hua dekhte." Nawaz Bhai took a pause and said, "Saale kitni koshish kiyi tujhe maarne ki. Kitne attacks kiye tujhpe lekin har baar tu bach jaata tha. Par aaj tu nahi bachega... Aaj tera khel khatam."

Sidharth stood there still as right then his priority was Shehnaaz, more than his own life. He knew if he made any move, her life would be at risk.

"Sidharth tum kyu aaye yaaha?... Yeh log bohut khatarnak hai... Tum bhag jao please..." Said Shehnaaz crying, yet Sidharth didn't move a bit.

Suddenly a plan came to Nawaz Bhai's mind.

He turned to Shehnaaz and said, "Bas. Sidharth fas chuka hai. Ab acting band kar de."

Shehnaaz made a confused face while Nawaz Bhai continued, "Paata hai aaj sirf mera hi nahi, tera bhi badla pura hogaya hai. Tu azad hai ab. Yeh hi toh plan tha na hum dono ka?"

Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz with disbelief while Nawaz Bhai untied her ropes.

"Waise tujh mein dam toh hai. Khud hi khud ko chot pohuchaya aur phir bechari ban ne ki acting kiyi. Sirf aur sirf, Sidharth se badla lene ke liye."

"Badla?" Asked Sidharth while Shehnaaz shook her head negatively.

"Tum inki baaton mein mat aao Sidharth. Yeh jhut bol rahe hai." She said.

"Accha? Main jhut bol raha hoon? Toh sacchai tu khud hi sun le..."

Saying that, Nawaz Bhai played somthing on his phone leaving Sidharth shocked.

"Sidharth ko rokne mein, usko tabah karne mein main aap ki madat karungi. I'll destroy his kingdom."

Nawaz Bhai played the conversation he had with Shehnaaz that night where she planned to destroy him. Sidharth got one more betrayal while Shehnaaz couldn't understand how to explain it to him.

"Yeh recording asli hai?" He asked with teary eyes hoping her to say no.

"Haan lekin jaisa tum soch rahe ho waisa..."

Sidharth showed his hand stopping her. He was completely broken as the girl he loved the most, betrayed him. Her love was nothing but a plan to destroy him. She never actually fell in love with him.

"Matlab tera pyaar sirf ek natak tha? Mujhe tabah karne ke liye? Main pagalon ki tarah tujhse pyaar karta gaya aur tujhe.... tujhe kabhi mujhse pyaar hua hi nahi?... Ek pal ke liye bhi nahi?" He asked, his voice reflected immense pain which he got thinking that she betrayed him.

"Sidharth tum galat samajh rahe ho main....."

Before she could complete, a goon hit him on head with a rod.

"SIDHAAARTHHH!" Screamed Shehnaaz and was about to go towards him but Nawaz Bhai indicated some of his men who stopped her.

Sidharth's head was spinning and he didn't have the strength to fight back, he didn't want to. If someone else was in Shehnaaz's place, he would have killed that person for sure. But he couldn't kill her as he loved her truly. So he felt that it would be better to die, fulfilling her wish to destroy him.

Nawaz Bhai's goons started beating Sidharth making him bleed while he gave a satisfactory smile. His plan worked as he thought. He used Sidharth's love for Shehnaaz as his weapon to make him weak and powerless. Now it would be easy to kill him and getting all the power in his own hand.

"Sidharth please fight back... Yeh jaan bujh ke aisa kar rahe hai... Tumhe yakeen nahi hai humare pyaar pe?... Maine koi dhokha nahi diya hai tumhe... I really love you... Mere liye uth jaao aur lado unse..."

Shehnaaz was crying while the goons were mercilessly beating Sidharth, taking advantage of his broken state.

"Chal bohut hogaya. Ab isko khatam karte hai." Said Nawaz Bhai pointing his gun towards Sidharth who was now standing in front of him, being injured.

Before he could fire, Shehnaaz freed herself from the goons and came in front of Sidharth.

SHOT!!!

Sidharth got his sense back when he realised that the bullet didn't even touch him as Shehnaaz protected him.

"Ahhh..." Shehnaaz whimpered holding her stomach and fell on the ground.

"Shehnaaz...." He whispered leaning towards her. He felt that someone took away his breath as he saw Shehnaaz lying on the floor like this. His anger was at its peak.

Someone pointed the gun near his head when he hit his elbow, took the gun from him and shot him. Everyone including Nawaz Bhai got scared seeing the gun in his hand, he was looking at everyone furiously.

Before they could fire, Sidharth started firing, killing them all. It seemed that they had awaken the lion who would not spare anyone now. He started killed everyone who tried to stop him or came in his way.

Nawaz Bhai understood that he wouldn't be able to fight with him as he had gone totally crazy. He tried to save himself by escaping but Sidharth shot his both legs and he fell down.

Nawaz Bhai groaned in pain and Sidharth came near him.

"Mujhe maaf kar de... Mujhse galti hogayi... Aisa phir kabhi nahi hoga... Mat maar mujhe.." Said Nawaz Bhai folding his hand, shivering in fear.

"Gaddari ki ek hi saza hoti hai Nawaz Bhai... Aur woh hai maut."

Saying that, Sidharth was about to shot him but stopped.

"Aap ne jo kiya uske baad aap iss se bhi dardnak maut deserve karte ho."

Sidharth started looking for something making Nawaz Bhai even more scared. He knew how cruel he could be, he had seen earlier. He couldn't even escape as he shot him on the legs.

Sidharth found a jar of kerosene oil and splashed it on him.

"Sidharth nahi... Aisa mat kar..."

Nawaz Bhai kept pleading while Sidharth turned a deaf ear to him. He took out his lighter and said, "Now the game is over."

He set fire on him. His painful screames echoed everywhere which Sidharth ignored.

He carried Shehnaaz in his arms and came out of the place.

He kept Shehnaaz on the ground and patted her cheeks.

"Shehnaaz... Aankhein khol apni... Mujhe pata hai yeh sab bhi natak hai... Jaisa Mayank ke saath hua tha... Waisa hi kuch hai na?" He said being illogical for the first time, not being able to believe that something could happen to her.

Shehnaaz opened her eyes a little and showed him her hand which was covered with blood. She was finding difficulty in breathing.

"Stop doing this drama okay?... I know you are absolutely fine... Tu mujhe phir se bewakoof nahi bana sakti..." Said Sidharth angrily trying to convince himself that what he was seeing, was not true.

Shehnaaz chuckled painfully and said with difficulty, "Ek baar phir.... tumhe... chhor ke.... jaa rahi hoon.... Sidharth... Lekin jaate jaate.... Tumhare sawal ka jawab.... Zaroor dungi.... Maine ek pal ke liye tumse pyaar nahi kiya... Main toh... jab se tum meri zindagi mein aaye ho... Tab se sirf tumhari hoke rahi hoon... Sorry... Humesha tumhare saath rehne ka waada... Main pura nahi kar paayi... Ab kya karu?... Yeh hi ek tarika tha mere paas... Apna pyaar shaabit karne ka... Taa ki tum... Mujhe galat na samjho.... Mujhse nafrat na karo..."

Shehnaaz was taking deep breaths while teardrops were continuously falling from Sidharth's eyes.

"Nahi Naazo... Tu mere saath aisa nahi kar sakti... Tujhe kuch nahi ho sakta... Main nahi hone dunga." He said crying.

By then Kushal and Sidharth's men also reached there as he had shared his location with them earlier. For the first time everyone saw him crying like this and their eyes also became teary seeing him so helpless.

Shehnaaz touched Sidharth's face with her shivering hands and wiped his tears.

"I... Love... You... Mere Sidhu... Sacchi mein... Ho sake toh... Iss baar mera... Intezar mat karna."

Saying that, she closed her eyes with her head on his lap meanwhile his whole world shattered.

He realised that his love actually destroyed both of them.
