(I am sorry for the delay. I am updating after five days, I hope you haven't forgotten the storyline. Thank you for supporting me. 🥺🙏🏻)

Abir >>

So according to my dadi this puja path will fix everything. I was having a serious headache due to yesterday's event, the press conference then the late night party. All I needed was sleep but dadi and her rules. It's around 9 :00 . The priest and his co-priests had come to our house.

Dadi had told me to find a priest for our house vastu puja because I was injured two times, Mishti's health was not good and even Saanvi is pregnant. So she wants to keep a puja for all of us . Due to my work pressure I had forgotten to find any priest, it was only yesterday when it hit my mind. But I was too tired so I told Richa to bring a priest.

Thank God she found a priest in one night otherwise dadi would have killed me. The priest was arranging the fire kund, while his people were settling other things. With my half closed eyes I was staring at everything.

"Mishti, where is your mangalsutra? You both will sit in this puja, go and wear it! " Dadi told her, she moved her gaze to me. I blinked my eyes, there was no need to wear the tracker pendant chain today. We will stay home so she's safe. She went to our room.

"The puja will occur for three hours, so please you all give your phone and keep it here, don't forget to keep it in silent mode! " The priest instructed.

I was reluctant because I had planned to play games during puja, at least I would not have gotten bored. But my dadi and her big red eyes, I gave my phone like an obedient child. The priest kept the phones on a plate and kept it near me.

"Where is Aadarsh? " Dadi asked Saanvi, "He went to the office, he said he had an important work, umm I tried to stop him but it was important! " Saanvi replied, I knew it. He will find a way to escape from this puja. I should have done this too but dadi had her eyes on me this morning.

"Everyone's work is important, I hardly keep puja in our house and you can't take a leave even. Both father and son are missing, let them come I will not give them any food for three days! " dadi said angrily, I chuckled. Mr Rajvansh was not present either , he went on his political trip. Most of the time I don't see him around me in this house, so it's not surprising at all. He never cared for the family.

I looked back hearing the bangles sound, my breath hitched. Mishti was descending the stairs , she was wearing Vermilion, mangalsutra and bangles. She was walking gracefully with the long red pinkish anaarkali.

"She's all yours, you can stare at her after this puja too! " Saanvi commented, I diverted my gaze from her quickly and kept my focus on nowhere. The priest started doing the vastu map or whatever they call it.

"You all have to sit above it, at your respective place ! " he mentioned showing us our place, we sat in our respective place as per the instruction, I was expecting it to be an asan or a mat but it's made up of wood and I found it weird . I had never seen a vastu puja like this.

The puja started, he was putting ghee, flower and some other things into the fire . I moved my gaze to mishti, her eyes were closed and her hands were pressed together.

She has dressed up like a married women. For the first time she's wearing red bangles after marriage and it was looking so good in her hand.

The Priest called her for which she opened her eyes and I quickly moved my gaze from her . "Go and place this kalash near the gate, Ram will show you where to place it ! " taking the kalash she proceeded to go outside and another priest followed her.

Everything was okay until a thick smoke came out of the fire kund making everything invisible. I quickly stood up finding something suspicious. I took a step ahead but my face hit against a glass wall. Horror started gripping through my nerve. I roam my hands around me and found myself between a glass box.

What the actual fuck.

From the beginning I was sensing something wrong.

I could hear the screams of other members, Mishti, where was she! Shit. We were trapped. Slowly the smoke vanished from our sight making everything clear and my gaze fell on Yash. I looked around , everyone were trapped in a glass box.

Mishti was not there.

I let out a deep breath in frustration.

"How long it would take to kill the Priest and come in his place? You yourself invited us Abir Rajvansh! " my blood boiled in anger, I started hitting the glass but neither it's breaking nor it was moving. He really played well.

Bhai was right about him. He was smarter ,  at least he was ahead of my plans . "You have to pay for it, Yash Kapoor! " I said hiting that fucking glass again. He came to me and stood in front of me. I curled my fingers forming a fist as my blood was boiling in anger.

"You were feeding your own enemy! " he muttered, his lips twitched into a devilish smirk. My eyes travelled in the hall, Naina was not there.

Naina?

No way she's with him. She doesn't seem like this.

Except her everyone were caged .

I could not understand what to do. My only hope was bhai, but I could not even contact him. He won't even come here now.

"Richa! Come on, "

My lips apart and I took a step back hearing her name in his mouth . I just stared at him cluelessly until I heard Mishti's painful scream. My eyes snapped towards the door. Richa was dragging her along with herself , Richa's hand was griping tightly around her hair while Mishti's hands were caged.

"Aaann leave me! " mishti screamed, her eyes were red. My heart stopped in a thud when she pushed her into the ground and Mishti fell hard , the bangles got broken. The way she fell, it must have caused her immense pain.

"Mishti! " I shouted hiting the glass, she crawled on the ground while crying.

"Leave my girl, you bastard! " I screamed at the top of my voice, seeing her condition my heart was breaking into pieces. I was dying. "Your girl? " Yash mocked and made her stand up holding her hair . He brought her to me,
I placed my palm on the glass, I was helpless ! 

"Save your girl! " he said holding her, I fisted my palm. My eyes travelled to Richa , she was witnessing everything with a wide satisfactory smile. Someone broke my trust again.

Again a betrayal!

What I did to deserve all this?

The people whom I actually love from my whole heart, they either betrayes me or God snatch them away from me. I felt like I was cursed to live a life like this. What did I do to anyone? After everything I trust her and at the end she too betrayed me. I was just standing there being numb.

"Abir! "

I looked at Mishti, she whispered my name in a shaking tone, her head was down while that bastard was holding her hair.

"Say again! " he asked angrily,

"Please Leave her! " I pleaded folding my hand, it satisfied his ego.

"Oh this is a moment to capture. Abir Rajvansh is pleading, tch tch tch! " he started laughing and threw Mishti on the ground again. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ASSHOLE? YOU REALLY EVER LOVED HER? SHE'S NOT A THING THAT YOU WILL HIT HER LIKE THIS! " I shouted, my jaw clenched in anger.

He walked to her.
"I really love you sweetheart, but you left me! You have to bear the punishment na, " he said to her as he kneeled down and made her sit on her knees. Her hands were even tied. Otherwise she would have smacked his head till now. God what are you doing to her?

I noticed her lips, blood was oozing out of the corner of her lips. "Oh, is it hurting? " Richa asked me showing her fake concern. She again made her stand in front of me, but I was little relieved that she didn't pull her hair. Mishti could not even stand properly.

"You know! It hurt me too when I saw you kissing her, that night when I saw you both kissing each other it turned my world upside down! " she uttered , it's something that shook me to core . "What do you mean? " I uttered. "You never understood me Abir. I was in Love with you even when Yuvani was not in your life. I stood by you in every worst situation of yours, I was there for you when no one was with you because I fucking love you and you never noticed me! "

I was taken a back with her outburst.

"But this girl, she came from nowhere and took my place! " she pressed her finger on her injured lips making her bleed more, mishti screamed in pain.

"Richa please don't do this to her! " I pleaded, she left her finger from her lips . Mishti stared at me, our eyes met and my vision got blurred. I had never felt something so heartbreaking in my life. Her lips twitched upward into a pout while she burst into tears.

"This is so satisfying to watch! " Yash commented and they both laughed.

"I SWEAR ON GOD, YOU BOTH WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE NEXT SUN RISE! " I Yelled at them .

"You know what, I really want to kill you, but just because of Richa you are still alive , this girl really loves you! " he mentioned, I moved my gaze to Richa. The amount of hate she built in me within just a few minutes was terrifying. She will pay every penny of it.

"You remember? When you both went to your village temple? It's me who sent goons behind Mishti. I was not friends with Yash that time , I wanted to kill Mishti but you came in between, that day ! " she revealed, I knew it's not Yash . But never in my wildest dreams I thought it would be her, Richa! I was trying to find the person behind it when the person was with me.

"Then yash attacked you, but it's my people who saved you from him. That's when we both made a deal. We both started planning against you and the good part was you really trusted me so you never checked my whereabouts. We both were waiting for a perfect moment and thanks to your lovely dadi, without her we could not have gotten this opportunity, ah this puja path really brought prosperity and happiness, " her constant laughs were making me annoyed.

"You look like a witch , I had always a doubt on you! " Dadi shouted from her back, someone told her to stay silent. I eyed at dadi to keep her mouth shut, it's not the time to lose  patience. Richa turned her heel and proceeded to go towards her. I ruffled my hair in annoyance.

"Do you think I will be scared of your gaze? You still look like a witch to me and you don't know what I can do! "

Someone please tell her to just stop. She was adding fuel in fire.

Richa stopped as Saanvi started making noise hiting the glass. Shit I had forgotten about her. She has asthma and she's pregnant too . "I can't be able to breathe, please take me out, I have a baby inside me, " she pleaded holding her baby bump.

"Oh sweetheart! "

Now if she will do anything to Saanvi, I don't know what will I do to her when I will come out of this glass box.

"You know I don't have any problem with you, but your husband that Aadarsh! He always jumped between us at the right time and save everyone! "

Bhai where are you?

My eyes spotted Naina who just came out of her, she was froze at her place. Girl just run. Don't show your power here. Atleast inform my brother.

Her eyes travelled in the hall then stopped at me. I showed her the back door through my finger , nodding her head she started going and finally left the house. I felt so relieved.

I just hope she knows what to do.

"I can't breathe, please listen to me, for God sake! " Saanvi shouted in anger, her condition was getting worse.

"Yash please let her go! I will do everything you say, I will divorce Abir, I will marry you, I will do every single thing, please let her go! " Mishti pleaded to Yash holding his leg, I clenched my jaw in anger. "If you are wishing then I should actually help you, after all she's pregnant! " Yash moved towards Saanvi, I sensed something wrong. He will never melt this easily.

"No Yash! Just because she's pregnant don't take her lightly, she's very smart you don't know her! " Richa warned him, you bitch.

The ground beneath me vanished when Yash pushed the glass box to the opposite side and Saanvi fell on the ground along with the box. The glass broke into pieces and she screamed in pain holding her baby bump.

"You motherfhcker bastard! " I cursed and fell on my knees. I could not see the sight in front of me nor I could hear her scream. Mishti ran to her but Yash held her. I punched my fist on the ground as tear rolled down my eyes. She's just four months pregnant.

God please Keep her baby safe otherwise I won't be able to forgive myself. What would I say to bhai?  How will I face him?

I looked down in guilt while tears started forming in my eyes. I got startled hearing a bullet sound. "What happened? Go and check! " Yash sent his one goon to outside, I gulped.

"Sir! One girl was trying to escape, they killed her! " he informed. My lips fall apart. Was it Naina? No. Please. No.

"Abir! " Mishti called my name again, I looked up and found Yash taking her outside. Soon the room filled with smoke, I felt someone pressing my face with a handkerchief. Before I could do something I lost my sense.

_________________________

A splash of water jerked me out of my sleep, I looked up and found myself in a small room. A man left the room. I was sitting on a chair and my both hands and legs were tied. I tried to move the chair too but it was tied with the pillar.

"Fuck! " I muttered in anger, there was no one around me. There was a skylight through which sunrays were coming, it meant the day was not over. I had no clue about anyone. My heart gripped in fear by just imagining about mishti. Yash is a devil, he can go to any extent to hurt her.

What happened to Naina?

What happened to Saanvi? Her baby.

I was just dying from inside. I again did my best to free myself from the rope but nothing helped.

My eyes snapped towards the door when Richa entered inside. My blood boiled in anger seeing her and every inch of my heart was shaking due to the betrayal I got. "Aww Abir ! " she mimicked, just open this rope and I will show you what aww feels like..

"You know what!  I really loved you once but now my heart is filled with pure hatred. The day before you going to Australia, I went to your house if you remember. That night while coming back I saw both of you kissing, at that moment, at that particular moment I wanted to kill her, seriously!

But it should have easier for her you know, so I let her go. I want her to live her life by suffering, crying, screaming. The way I do every night for you! When we were in Australia Yash had a solid plan to kidnap  her but again to her good luck she got fever and stayed at home. Then Yash could have gone to your house being a doctor too but I wanted to see you in pain.

I really waited for more than ten yours for you, but you never considered me more than just a friend, I always say I have no one except you, I had given you thousands of signals but you chose to ignore everything and at the end you fell for that girl! Ugh,  I really want you to suffer , Yash had told me to keep you till he got married to Mishti. Till then I will keep you here then I will let you go and it will be so pleasant to see you in pain and see her suffering.. Then only I can die peacefully! "

A psycho? I was witnessing a real psycho. I always wished for her good life while she's just back stabbing me. One thing my friends taught me was to never make friends ever again.

It's not about wrong or right people, eventually everyone just changes. Everyone is just selfish. While rubbing my arm against the rope, I realized I was wearing my watch and she had no idea about the tracker attached into it.

Bhai was my last hope. Like every time he would save me this time too but I couldn't protect his wife. So expecting something from him made me feel guilty , he had always protected me but I couldn't . Richa was doing something on her phone. As the door was opened I looked outside, some guards were there.

"So your brother got an idea about this incident , so soon. I wonder how? Anyway he can't reach us ! " she mumbled, I took a breath of relief . It was so painful for me because I was just sitting there and doing nothing while Mishti was suffering alone .

My eyes became wide seeing the foggy environment outside, Richa was too busy on her phone so she didn't notice. Dumbest girl alive.

I got startled the moment I saw a bullet hitting into her body, the phone fell from her hand and she stumbled back. "Bhai ! " I said in happiness as he entered inside in a hurry. "Oh My God, are you fine! " he asked, I nodded. He quickly opened the rope, Richa was crawling on the ground in pain.

I was so angry, I wanted to hit her hard but neither I had time nor I like to raise my hand on the woman. She's a bitch anyway. I pushed the chair which hit her head. How dare she hurt my wife?

"We need to go to find Mishti! " all I could utter, my mind was not working. We both rushed outside and my gaze fell on Naina. My pace became slower, I gulped. She's alive. She's freaking alive. I went to her and pulled her into a bone crushing hug.

She was shocked to react to anything but I could not control the overwhelming emotions. I thought they killed her, I could have never forgiven myself. "Thank God you are fine! " I muttered breaking the hug , caressing her hair, she just smiled softly.

"She did an amazing job, first she put her phone in Yash's car then informed me. We can track mishti by tracking Naina's phone, let's go! " Bhai said, we three got inside the car and he started driving while I checked the location. It's moving towards his old hotel. I bit my lips in confusion. I wonder why he was taking her to a hotel which was closed for ages.

"How.. how is saanvi? And her baby? " bhai's face dropped hearing me.

"We had taken her to the hospital, you need me, I had to come here . I have left everything on God, He has to save my baby and her. Moreover mom is there , she will handle everything! " his voice was low and trembling. It killed me from inside.

How can someone be so selfless.

"But it's about your baby! Bhai go back to her, I will manage here please! " I pleaded.

"You are my first child, I needed to save you too. Everyone is with her, I know nothing will happen, just trust me! "

I closed my eyes and leaned back. Even in the worst situation he was positive and hopeful. But I could feel something worse was going to happen. He drove the car towards his hotel.

______________________

Mishti :)

The cars stopped in front a old hotel. There was no one around it. It looked like a haunted place. I was scared.

You can fight with a human but Yash was a demon.

He pulled me out of the car, my leg stumbled but he didn't care. I wanted to punch him but my hands were tied, I wanted to shout but my mouth was pressed by a handkerchief. The goons followed us, we entered inside and damn the interior was well cleaned unlike the exterior. I did not understand why he took me here.

Some goons stayed outside, we were walking on a hallway and he stopped on the middle. There was no way to anywhere. There was neither a door nor a lift or any staircase. He instructed his goon, he went forward and pressed a switch. My eyes went widen when a partition got developed between the wall. I was shocked. There was another house inside it. I was shocked. One by one the goons entered inside while I was gazing at it from outside.

How will anyone even find me here?

Suddenly Yash pushed me to inside and I fell on my knees, it hurts so much but I couldn't even scream . Yash pulled out the handkerchief from my mouth and pulled my hair, a tear rolled down my cheek. "Is it hurting darling? " he asked brushing his nose on my hair, I felt disgusted . I pushed him back by my tied hands and got up.

He was about to come near me but a goon stopped him. "Sir, Abir and his guards are here! " he informed, my heart beat increased in happiness. A smile automatically appeared on my lips. "Don't worry sweetheart! He can't reach you, " he said with a smirk and the next moment he pressed a switch which was inside the room and we were inside and it got closed.

The fact that when I was outside I could only see the wall but from inside everything was visible. "Sir we should go to our place! " someone said but Yash denied.

"Let her see her husband one last time before becoming mine! " his words sent chills into my every bone. I could hear gun shooting sound, all I was praying about Abir's safety. I would prefer to die rather than letting someone's life in danger. I heard some footsteps approaching towards us, my eyes snapped towards the wall.

It's Naina. Then Aadarsh bhai and Abir both came to the place. I instantly ran to them and started hiting the wall. "Let me help you sweetheart! " Yash said and started hitting the wall like a mad . I stared at him angrily. It means there was no use of screaming or hitting the wall, they won't be able to hear anything.

Abir was tired, exhausted, tensed. He placed his palm on the wall and leaned forward. I placed my palm above his, "Abir! " a slow whisper escaped from my lips. Suddenly Yash pressed my cheek against the wall making me winch in pain. "Take his name again! " he roared, I gritted my teeth anger.

He held my hand and pulled me towards a staircase which was going towards downstairs. There was an underground building I thought. But there was a garage and so many vehicles were present. We got inside a car and he drove it towards a tunnel road, after one kilometre we came out of the tunnel. All I could see was a huge building, it's complete solitude. How will someone even reach here to save me? I need to do something.

The guards were all around the villa, he took me into a room. There was not a single girl around me, all were males. I was feeling uncomfortable. But I didn't lose hope. My hand was tied. I went to Yash who was talking with some of his guards.

"I want to use the washroom! " I said, he gave me a side eye angry look, I gulped hard.

"Bathroom is there! " he instructed showing his index finger towards the bathroom.

"Untie my hand, how will I do anything with this tied hand? " I asked innocently, he came forward and pressed my cheek between his two fingers, it gave me immense pain but I didn't react.

"If you try to act smart na, then you will see the worth of me! " he whisper-yelled.

"Do you think me a fool? There are so many goons around the house, I know I can't do anything! " I muttered angrily.

"If it would have been any other girl, I would have been relaxing but it's you! Anyway, " he mumbled and opened the knot of the rope and it got loosened around my wrist. My wrist band was looking red, it's burning. I went to washroom and locked the door from inside. I looked around, the skylight was too small for me to fit in.

I quickly made sampoo water and filled a spray bottle with it. Standing above the toilet I pulled out a sharp glass from the skylight window. The glass edge was not that sharp but it will help. If they will shoot me, I would be happily die rather than letting that Yash touch me. I was hell scared , there were five people in that room along with Yash. And the bathroom door was close to the room door,  I could easily run. But I had never done something so risky, so I was terrified.

I let out a deep breath. "Mom dad, please be my strength today! " I whispered to myself before opening the bathroom door. In my one hand I was holding the spray and in the other hand I was holding the sharp glass.

They all are powerful but I had done nothing wrong in my life, so nothing will happen to me..

I was just trying to build strength in me. Letting out a deep breath I pulled the door back and proceeded to go further. Seeing the glass in my hand Yash came to me, when he came near me I spread the sampoo water on his eyes. He screamed my name and took a step back. The goons pointed the gun at me.

"Don't shoot her! " Yash shouted while rubbing his eyes, two people ran towards me to catch me while I was opening the door, I hit them with the glass without even looking at him. Everything happened in a blink of eyes that I even didn't understand what I did. I come out of the room and locked it from outside.

The main door was locked from inside, I couldn't escape from the house because the goons were outside and they won't let me go. I went to the first floor then to second floor. My throat was running dry and my stomach was empty, I hadn't taken anything from morning. I wanted to make a phone call but to whom I call.

Everyone had given their phone before puja, it's only Aadarsh bhai who had a phone. But I didn't remember his number. I can call  Meera aanty but for that I needed a phone. I heard some footsteps approaching towards me.

I entered in a room  and locked it from inside. Anyone could have broken the door, so I pushed a cupboard which fell near to the door. I kept three big boxes above it. Someone started hitting the door, but I was relaxed after blocking it.

I couldn't walk anymore so I sat on the bed. My whole body was paining. I was panting heavily. Breathing was never this much difficult to me. I wanted to scream, cry but it was not the time to lose patience.

"Hello Sweetheart! " the rough voice hit my ear and I pulled up my leg. My breath quickened, Yash was under the bed. What the actual fuck. How did he come here?

He slid upto the floor and showed his vile face. I gulped and pushed myself back. A smirk crept on his lips, "How did you even think to run away from me that too in my house! " he muttered sitting on the floor, I looked around, there was another door too. But I didn't realize when he entered inside.

He jump into the bed making me flinch on my place. "I wanted to be soft with you, but I  guess you deserve something more! " saying he pushed me to the bed. He pressed my palm on his knees against the bed mattress and kept his other knees above my leg to stop my movements. He was stronger than I thought.

My eyes widened when he took out an injection, I held his hand trying to stop him. "No Yash! " I tried to throw the injection but he held my other hand and pressed it above my bed. I cried in pain when he injected the needle into my vein , there was a flower vase above my head, I held it, but his grip around me was strong.

I bit his arm and hit his head by the vase , he crawled on the bed as blood started oozing out of his side head. Due to his hand movement the needle pierced my skin. I kicked him twice and jumped from the bed. I could have ran away through the door but I myself had blocked it by keeping the box and cupboard. So I came out through the other door, when I tried to push it, I felt a force from the other side .

It's Yash, he was not letting me to close the door. I had no more strength left in me, I tried to push it but I couldn't. In a jerk he pushed the door and I stumbled over my feet. My back hit a glass wall. Due to my sudden force on it, the glass got scratched. I was relieved as it didn't break otherwise I would have fallen on the ground from the third floor .

I felt a strong sensation on my body, he had injected some sort of drug into me. I blinked my teary eyes, Yash was approaching towards me. In no second he reached me and curled his palm around my throat. I started coughing badly then he loosened his grip around me. I was completely weak, blood was flowing from where he had injected the needle.

"How many times did I tell you to not act smart sweetheart? " he muttered and pulled me close. I fell in his arms and he buried his face in the crook of my neck. I was feeling disgusted by his touch but all my strength was drained. I was not able to even move my hand. I felt like dying. He slid down my dupatta, nervousness and anxiety was all that I could feel. I was feeling dizzy.

"Abir! " I whispered as a lone tear dropped down my cheek, he clenched his jaw in anger , wrapping his arm around my waist he pulled me more close to him. I closed my eyes in defeat and Abir's face flashed in front of my eyes. I had hoped that he would save me no matter what.

_____________________

Abir :)

We searched every corner of that hotel but could not find them. Their car was outside, it meant they hadn't gone anywhere. "I guess there is an underground floor ! " bhai said, we had searched everywhere but there was no way to go anywhere. I could feel her around me, I had a strong feeling that she was here only.

I placed my palm on the wall and looked down in defeat. I didn't want to lose her at any cost. My jaw clenched and in anger I hit the wall. The sound it cause made me shocked. I again hit the wall then hit the opposite wall. Both the sounds were different.

"There's something behind it! " I said bhai, he placed his ear on the wall and nodded.

"Yeah! "

I looked here and there to find a door or something but there was nothing. "Hey, here is a switch! Should I press it? " Naina asked showing us a switch, it's looking normal like an electric switch. She pressed it and a partition was created in between the wall.

My mouth fell agap, we three took a step back. My eyes fell on a ear ring, I picked it up. It was Mishti's only.

We proceeded to go further and found a staircase, there was no underground floor which we were expecting but a big garage was there. "There is a tunnel too! They must have taken her to somewhere through this so that we can't find her! " bhai informed. I was trying to find keys of those vehicles. There were so many car, they must have kept the keys there.

I followed the foot prints and found a box. As I was expecting there were keys inside it. I randomly picked a key and pressed the bottom, a car made the sound of horn and we quickly ran near the car and got inside it.

After one kilometre of drive we came out of the tunnel, there was a hue villa from a little far.

"Bhai give our location to our guards, we can't fight with so many people alone! " he did as I said. Parking the car far from the villa we started walking towards it. We entered inside by jumping from the wall but the goons had covered the house completely.

"Bhai I can't wait here for our people to come, we need to go inside! " I said in panick, with each passing second I was becoming anxious. "There must be a back door, we can enter through that! " bhai said, I went towards left and bhai and Naina went towards right. I spotted a door but one guard was there.

I had a gun and I could have easily shot him but it will make noise and they will be alerted. It would be riskier. He was looking at the other side, by crawling on the grassy ground I reached near him. But to my bad luck his gaze fell on me.

Before he could hold his gun I pulled him and pressed my knee on his throat. He was trying to grab his gun but I held his hand, after a moment he didn't move anymore. I felt sorry but I had no other option. Supporting a crime is itself a crime and these people are big criminals . There's so many way they can make money but they chose it.

Without wasting more time I broke the door, three goons saw me. But before they could do anything I shot the bullet and hid beside a pillar. Two more people came inside in search of me, I killed them too. I messaged bhai about my whereabouts.

There was no one on the ground floor, a door was broken. A glass and a spray bottle was rolling on the ground. I could hear the gun shooting sounds which was coming from outside, my guards must have arrived. I wanted to call her name loudly but I was scared if Yash would harm her.

I was about to take a step on the stair when someone pushed me from the back. I fell on the ground, a gun shooting sound along with Naina's scream hit my ear. I looked up , Naina fell on the ground with blood flowing from her chest.

"Naina! " I screamed and took her on my lap, she showed me her  finger towards the door, I looked up and found Richa, she's bleeding . She's still alive? I held my gun and shot her without any second thought.

"Naina, why did you do this? " I whispered, my vision got blurry. She inhaled a deep breath. "Bhaii! " I shouted, Naina held my hand.

"Don't... Don't care... about me... Please go and find her, please go! " she whispered, her heartbeat was getting slower. "I am.. really thankful to you.. and your family.. for ... for everything you all did.. to me.. My... My parents never loved.. me the way... your did  ... they all are... amazing.. I.. I am grateful.. to, " she couldn't even able to speak.

"Hey please don't say anything, you will be fine. I will not let anything happen to you, hold on! " I said brushing her hair, some noise came from the upstairs. There Mishti was with Yash and here Naina's life was in danger. I couldn't think properly what to do.

"How did it happen? " bhai came running to me.

"Bhai take her to the hospital, our hospital is near only, please go fast! "

"But-"

"Bhai please! " I screamed, Naina held my hand again.

"Please keep my sister happy, she deserves to live a happy life , " she muttered, my heart broke into pieces. Bhai took her in his arm and went outside . I was froze, I was sweetening. I kept my palm above my heart to calm myself.

Some noise were coming from upstairs, I went to the third floor. My leg stopped when I saw mishti, Yash pressed her throat against the glass wall.. He was touching her in a disgusting way.

I broke the window glass by a table and entered into the room, Yash pulled himself back. I took out my gun and shot on him three times but as he moved away ,the bullet hit the glass and it got broken. I shot one last bullet which hit on his leg. He fell from the floor. While Mishti was losing her balance.

I was at a distance from her, I ran to her to hold her but I was late. My finger brushed with her finger but I couldn't hold her. My heart stopped for a moment. My hand was stuck in air as I froze at my spot.

She fell into the swimming pool, I didn't waste any time and ran to downstairs. The colour of the pool water has turned into red. Her body was floating on the water. "Sir , Yash ran away! " I gritted my teeth in anger .

I held mishti in my arm and kept her in the car! The driver started the car. "Please hold on! I will not let anything happen to you! " I whispered pressing my lips on her forehead, blood was coming from her hand and her backhead. I pressed my handkerchief on her wound . Her eyes were closed.

"I am sorry! " I whispered, I couldn't protect her . My body was trembling as I was getting anxiety attack. I was not ready to lose anyone, I can't survive.

God always takes away people who are close to me! Always.

It's not easy to describe action scene, believe me I didn't find words to put. I was blank while writing it. So you might find it boring. 😵‍💫
