Chapter 15.3- Finally THE End!

Manik's POV..

They pushed me back in to my cellar where all my other four buddies were locked up and I stumbled in..

"Manik!" They all exclaimed and rushed to hold me..

"You are crying!" Harshad exclaimed worriedly cupping to my cheeks and I shook my head but the tears didn't stop flowing..

Tears of happiness?

Or

Tears of sadness and helplessness??

I was going to be a father...the happiness was too much that forced me to cry..

And

I wouldn't be able to be with my baby and fiance was killing me..

The helplessness was too much to bear..

"Buddy! What happened?" Abhimanyu asked frantically and I sank down with the wall..

"Manik your silence will kill us!" Cabir almost shouted kneeling in front of me.

"Why they took you? What happened?" This time Dhruv asked and I closed my eyes leaning my head back with the wall taking deep breaths..

"For the first time!" I started but the hiccups erupting from my throat paused me. "For the first time I don't wanna die!" I continued and all of my buddies looked sad. "I...I want to live!" I cried holding my head..

"Manik! Tu tou humain motivate krta tha! What happened to you?" Harshad said sitting beside me and Nandini's teary eyes roamed in my head causing me to cry harder.

Yes I was strongest throughout the mission and wasn't afraid of dying but Nandini...this small meeting of ours and me knowing about my baby caused me to lose my patience...

I so wanted to live and be with her..

"I met Nandini!" I finally told them and all of them sank on the floor around me..

"How?" Cabir asked softly holding to my hand and I looked at him.

"They had taken me away na? They locked me in another room and I slept! When the next time I woke up she was beside me!" I narrated in short words and again hiccupped. "Aur pata hai guys! What... What she told me?" I said looking at all of them like a kid and they all nodded me to continue. My vulnerable state wasn't new to them but yes I was way too stronger.

"She told me that...that I...I am going to be a father!" I told all of them and cried more..

There was a silence of few minutes and I just tried to control my tears..

"Cong...congrats!" Abhimanyu was the first to break the silence and I looked at him. My tears were dried by now..

"So that means! We all are going to be Chachas yeah?" Cabir said in an enthusiastic tone and I tried to smile..

"Will it be a girl or a boy??" Dhruv asked thoughtfully rubbing his chin..

"Well to know that! We need to get out of here first!" Harshad said with a wink and I stared at all of them..

They were such a big support..

I wonder what would I do without them?

"I love you guys!" I muttered and they all hugged me..

"We love you too!" They all whispered back..

"Am I acting selfish?" Suddenly the doubt aroused in my heart and I shared parting away..

"Nopes!" Harshad said softly patting my shoulder and I looked at my other three friends, they were smiling...

"You know! Dad used to say a pharse! Wo kehty thy 'har insaan ki life me us kay bachy sab say ziada important hoty hain! Jin ky liye he becomes dangerously selfish' So yeah! It's your love for your child which is forcing you! Tu is ko positive lay na! Let's try to get out of here! Let's think of something good!" Harshad was the most amazing person I could ever have in my life..

I hugged him tightly..

"I don't wanna lose you buddy! Promise kar? That you will be with me always!" I said to him emotionally and he patted my head..

"Ab rulaye ga kya? Promise chod! Kaam ki baat kar!" He said jokingly and parted away. "Plan something! It's been four days! We can't sit idol here!" He said in a determined tone..

"Exactly! We need to get out of here within few hours!" Cabir said shaking his head..

"Yeah! As long as we have the chip we are alive! As soon as they will get it! We will be killed!" Dhruv said in a worried tone and I knew he was right..

"We can't sit here and wait for them to kill us! Come on!" Abhimanyu said in a cold tone and I nodded..

"Let's think! There will be surely a way!" I said to them and all nodded.

We all sat on the floor back and the night ticked away.

We all were staring out of the bars to the watchman whose back was at us..

He was the only hurdle..

We were in the basement lockup which was guarded by only one constable..

He was sitting on the stool and the keys to this lock were hanging down his pocket along with the ring..

"We just need those keys!" Abhimanyu muttered depicting my thoughts in the words and we all nodded simultaneously..

God...do you exist? Mommy used to say that you are always around! I stopped believing you the day my parents died but today! Tonight I wanna believe in you again. I wanna know if miracles really happen? Help us out of here. Suggest me...show me the way. My girl believes in you so I also wanna believe in her belief. Show me the way.

I prayed with closed eyes and placed my hand on my heart when suddenly I felt something inside my pocket there..

My eyes snapped open and I sat up with a jerk..

I immediately fumbled my hands inside my pocket and pinched out a black hair bob pin..

Wait? Where did it come from?

All my friends were staring at the pin in my hand..

"Nandini!" I whispered in disbelief..

Did she put it inside?

"Manik! I can see a paper piece in your pocket!" Cabir said peeking inside my pocket and I shoved him away as his peeking gave me a weird feeling..

"What dude? I have seen you naked! Tou just pocket me peek krny ko mind kiun kar ra hai?" He asked with a bad face and Harshad smacked his head..

"Can you please stop your idiotic lame jokes! It's not the time?!" Abhimanyu was annoyed and I heard Cabir swearing under his breath. I again shoved my fingers inside that tiny pocket and again pinched out the little tiny winy piece of paper..

There was something written over it..

"I hope this pin will help!"

I read the caption in a whisper filled with disbelief and everyone chuckled..

"Smart damsel!" Harshad complimented her and I too chuckled.

"Yeah! She is a beauty with brains!" I said remembering the drama she did in front of Aryaman..

"Ohkay! So? What this pin will do?" Dhruv asked scratching his head and I winked at him..

"Just wait and watch!" I said looking around the area to find a stick or something..

"Don't tell me tu Bollywood movies ki trha pin say lock khoolny wala hai?" Cabir said jokingly and I chuckled more..

"You have no idea!" I said with a sigh and finally found a stick.

Once again I sat with my buddies and folded the pin in a half loop. Then I folded it little on the edge of the stick and it became a perfect holder..

"What's up with this now?" Abhimanyu asked impatiently and I nodded..

"We will wait till the watchman will sleep! Then with the help of this I will grab the keys out of his pocket! I will extend this stick out of the bars towards the guard and then I will stuck the pin loop into the ring of the keys and then will pull it back! That's how we will be able to reach the keys! Though we can use our arm but with arm it's out of range! And the stick is plane we can't hook it up with the ring it's impossible that's why we need pin!" I whispered the whole plan and the happiness on their faces were priceless..

"Eureka!" Harshad muttered excitedly and I smiled..

"Now we just have to wait until he sleeps!" Abhimanyu said desperately and I nodded at him..

It was already dawn..

A strong feeling was over powering me that this was our last night in jail..

The whole credit to my angel in disguise..

I love you Nandini...and my baby...

Nandini's POV..

"Time for the final showdown Murthy!" DJ said in a serious tone and handed the spy camera cap. "The camera hidden in this cap is attached directly to our station! I will be watching every step you will take and when Khurana will start confessing tou hum on air chalay jayen gay! Got it?" His serious tone seemed so dangerous to me sometimes and I nodded frantically.

Before I could say anything Dad entered DJ's office..

"Princess!" Dad called and I turned to him. "The strike call you gave is working! Ramesh have just shown me the pictures and selfies people are uploading! Everyone is ready to save the heroes!" Dad added and I felt a shiver covering my body..

"Yeah! I have sent two teams to get the coverage done! It's the last day of Khurana's on earth!" DJ said in a determined tone and I smiled at him.

"You know DJ! It's shouldn't have been possible without you!" I said walking toward him and hugged him gently..

"You know you don't have to thank me yeah? I am alive because you helped me the night I was dying on that footpath! You owe me! You are a wonderful woman!" He said squeezing my body against his with a careful manner and I smiled..

Yeah once some badass boys beat the shit out of me and left him to die on the footpath. Luckily I was coming by the same road so I rescued him..

He was hospitalized over a month. I paid his hospital charges..

We retreared back from the hug and I felt his lips pressing on my forehead..

"Don't make me emotional DJ!" I said sniffing a little and he chuckled..

"Ahh baby sister! You know being emotional is not my thing yeah?" He was back in his funny and non serious mode..

Baby Sister? Oh I think I liked that...

"Yeah I know you! Samrty pants! Don't forget the day you cried in my lap after the first breakup you experienced!" I teased him poking my finger in his shoulder and he grinned..

"It's really very private and a secret! Don't discus it!" He hissed and I chuckled..

Dad too was smiling on the little bickering of ours..

"But dude! Seriously I am just scared you being alone with that jerk! Though I will keep an eye on you but still!" He said holding to my hand and I smiled looking down at my tummy..

"I will not be alone DJ!" I said softly as my hand caressed my belly and DJ was looking confused. "My baby is with me!" I told him and he looked shocked..

"Damn it woman! You are pregnant! Manik's?" He freaked out like a teenager and I punched his shoulder playfully..

"Obviously Manik's who else it could be!" I said sheepishly as the blush crept my cheeks..

"Should I call it cute? Or amazingly stupid for having a baby so soon?" He was freaking out and I shoot daggers at him with eyes..

"Manik wants him!" I said in a cold tone and he sagged in the chair near him..

"Ohky! Am acting like an overprotective friend come brother right?" He said in a indifferent manner like more to himself and I nodded with a smile. "I see! Ok am happy!" He suddenly beamed with joy and got up once again. "What will I be to this baby? Mamu? Yes!" He was an expert in forming relations.

Before I could say anything else the office door knocked..

"Miss Murthy! Some Jonny Dawn wants to meet you with reference to Mr.Malhotra!" DJ's assistant peeked in and told us..

"Whose Johnny?" DJ asked already walking out and I followed him with Dad..

"The one who registers dark organizations!" I said in a low tone and soon we reached the place where Johnny was standing along with many other smoking hot hunks..

I wonder they all were rogues..

"Ahh Miss Murthy!" Johnny exclaimed taking in my appearance and extended his hand for a handshake..

He was a man in his late fifties. He was in a grey three piece suit. His height was like 6 feet or a little more I guessed. I that age he still looked young like really handsome. His jawline was sharp and how can I miss the green color of his eyes. He was perfection. The Gucci glasses which were tucked in his front pocket clearly indicating towards his life style..

"Mr.Dawn!" I greeted him taking his hand with any hesitation..

"Ohh Johnny is fine!"

"Only if you will call me Nandini!" I said with a warm smile and he chuckled..

"Well Nandini! I must thank you for whatever you have doing for rogues! Especially my eagle boys! I am myself trying hard to get them out of there but that moron is stronger then I thought!" Johny started and I nodded. "Moreover we all are here to assure you that we will cooperate!" He told me softly gesturing back to all the boys standing and I looked at them.

They were seven in number..

"All seven of them are leaders of their organizations!" He told me and introduce me to everyone..

"I can't believe Manik can do the girlfriend thing!" One of the guy whose name was Haider, a Muslim he was and was sinfully handsome, said in somewhat amusing tone staring at me..

"Why?" I asked intrigued at his comment and he shrugged with a smug smile.

"Because he is an ass! I mean! He always used to rant that how much he never wanted to be in a relation!" He said waving his hands in the air and I giggled..

"You won't believe when I tell you that how much amazing he is! He is the best man any girl could get!" I said dreamily and a warmth filled me inside..

How much I wanted to be with him.

I was hoping that he must have figured out the bob pin and the little chit I put in his hoodie pocket when I hugged him before leaving..

"Ohky! I believe you!" He joked and everyone laughed..

Before we could talk more DJ patted my shoulder..

"I think you should get going sweetie! We don't have much time!" He said in a serious tone and I nodded..

"Yeah get going! We are on your back! Manik and other eagles owe my life! And I want to pay back!" Haider said in a tone which I felt filled with the some different kinda emotions.

I would love to hear his story and what my Heroes did to save his life but I needed to go..

"All the very best luck meri jaan!" Dad said taking me in a warm hug and I obviously needed loads of luck today..

Let's do this Nandini..

Do...or...Die!

___________________________

Ramesh halted the car almost a mile away from the Khurana premises and turned to me..

"You are sure your gonna be okay di?" He was so freaking worried and I smiled at him..

"Of course brother! And I have my strength with me! So don't worry!" I said in an assuring tone and showed him a thumbs up..

"Okay! Just remember! I love you!" He said in a babyish tone and I ruffled his hair with an awe before getting down the car..

It's show time Nandini...

I took a deep breath and looked down at my worn out clothes..

Okay I just hope my drama goes well..

I masked the worst sad expressions ever and run towards the Khurana mansion like a mad woman. Soon I saw so many guards standing near the big metal gate and forced the fake tears out..

I needed to get to Khurana for that I needed to pass that gate which was gaurded by so many gaurds the only weapon was woman power.

Emotional attiachar..

That's why I was wearing worn out almost torn clothes. Ps: not to forget to mention the spy cap with a hidden camera..

My screaming picked up the pace when I got nearer to the gaurds..

"Hey you stop!" One of the guard shouted and came in front of me.

"Khurana Uncle!!!" I shouted my lungs out and cried madly..

Shooo! How much my tongue was aching while calling that bastard 'uncle'..

"Get out!" The guard growled, grabbing to my arm but I started shouting..

"Nooo!! Khurana Uncle! I need your help! Save me please! They will kill me! For heavens sake! Am Nandini! Your Murthy Princess!" I was good at drama..

Ahan...I will be giving an audition soon..

I had an idea that there must be microphones around and Khurana must be listening to me. Soon doubt was confirmed as Khurana appeared behind the bars with confused silly expressions..

"Oh my my! Uncle!" I shouted wriggling out of the guards grasp and rushing to That old hag his men tried to stop me but he gestured them to let me come closer..

"Uncle!" I cried fisting the bars with my hands and he was staring at me like a fool..

"They are coming to kill me! Save me uncle! Please save me! I need shelter! Dad has kicked me out! You are the only person who can help me!" I cried loudly and the expressions on Khurana's face changed..

"You are Manik's girlfriend!" He said with angry tone and I shook my head frantically..

"No uncle! I never been with him! Trust me! You...you ha--!" I was crying and suddenly I faked dizziness. I swayed dramatically Before I could fall one of the man scooped me in his arms..

"Take her in!" I heard Khurana's freaked out voice and they brought me in. Soon I felt myself lying on a couch and someone sprinkled water on my face. "Nandini! Hey!" It was Khurana patting my cheeks and I opened my eyes back in a superb dramatic way.

"Oh uncle!" I again cried out, got up and hugged him with a jerk. This really took him off gaurd and I somehow controlled the urge of snapping his neck right away. "I am scared! Please tell me Manik won't come here!" I said with tons of fake tears and Khurana broke the hug wiping to my tears..

He somewhat looked convinced ..

"What did he do to you? I thought he was being nice to you! He killed my son for you!" He said getting up and I followed him..

"No no! He always forced himself on me! And He didn't killed Aryaman for me! He said he was taking revenge!" I said in a cocky tone and smirked triumphantly behind his back.

"Rubbish!" Khuraba cried out turning back to me and I again faked an innocent face..

"Does he really think he is capable of fighting with me alone!" Khurana shouted and I mentally patted myself..

Now I knew he will himself tell me everything..

Because I was hitting the right cord..

"Yes uncle! See how foolish of him!" I tched and Khurana looked so proud..

Old shit...

"Obviously! You see this whole empire Nandini! I have worked hard to get here!" He boasted and I faked excitement..

I know the hardwork you did by killing people..

Suddenly he came closer to me and his forefinger traced the side of my cheek..

"And dare not to think that I believe your sh!t story! You are good at drama but you can't fool me!" He whispered in my ear and my heart immediately dropped to my stomach..

He knows?!

Think Nandini... Just think....

"For sure you know!" I blurted out and he backed off..

I felt the hair of my neck rising as I stare at his murderous eyes..

This man had the capability to kill me right there..

"I am not surprised!" I started confidently but my inner was shaking.

I needed to do this..

I needed to provoke him a little more to make him confess his crimes...

To ease the nervousness away I walked to the coffee table as I saw cookies lying on it. I picked one of them..

"You think you are very smart?" Khurana growled like a bull and I turned back to him confidently.

"Am I not Khurana?" I asked nibbling to that cookie and he stared at me amazed..

"Oh definitely you are!" He said shaking his head and I calmly sat on the arm of couch..

"What brought you here?" He asked leaning with the wall and crossing his arms across his chest..

"I wanted to meet you! Wanna know if the rumors are really true? Do they really stole your money?" I asked in a soft tone staring in his eyes..

Be confident...

"What do you think?" In stead of answering my question he questioned me..

I popped the whole cookie in my mouth and got up to get another one..

"I think you are lying!" Dude I like being straightforward..

"Hmm!" I just heard humm as I bent down to pick up the cookie and unconsciously placed my hand on my tummy during the bending session. Before I could stand straight I felt Khurana's mint breath near my ear and he was hovering me from back..

My breath almost stuck in my throat when I felt his hand covering mine over my tummy..

"You are carrying a baby!" His lusty whisper hit my eardrum and my eyes widened with immense shock..

I quickly jerked him away and composed myself..

"None of your fu*king business!" I said coldly, adjusting the cap over my head and cleared my throat..

I knew DJ was watching everything..

"Manik's baby?" He asked dangerously and I raised my eyebrows at him..

"I told you it's not your damn business!" I repeated with the same attitude and he smirked.

"Of course Manik's!" He was sure now..

Just go and die old frog..

He was sharp and smart..

"Woman carrying a Malhotra heir brought me some 'beautiful' memories!" He said sarcastically air quoting the word 'beautiful' and my heart hammered as I immediately pictured Manik's pregnant mother..

"Would you mind sharing that 'beautiful' memory?" I tried my best hide the trembling which was quiet visible in my voice..

"Of course!" He chuckled. "As you aren't going out of this mansion ever again tou I won't mind telling you few of my secrets?!" He was boasting..

Maybe nobody told him that excess of everything was bad and he was overly confident..

This will be leading him towards his end..

"Oh yes please!" I said maintaining the sarcasm in my voice and he was laughing..

How much I wanted him to rott in hell..

"You know! The two brothers, Cabir and Dhruv! I don't exactly remember the name!" He started pouring scotch in a glass from the bar counter and I felt sick. He was looking so proud of his life. "I killed their father!" He confessed and his tone send gitters down my body. I held the couch back to stay steady.

"Why?" I asked lowly and he shrugged..

"I don't leave loopholes you know! So their father saw me killing a man! So he needed to die!" He said calmly and I felt sick..

Poor oldie didn't know that he was onair..

There was a silence of few seconds before he gulped the whole shot..

"And Harshad! He should have been dead by now! I don't know how did he survive! His father, my so called friend was such a rich dog!" His tone was so dirty and I felt like puking. "I meesed up with the car brakes! I thought the whole family will die but the little Harshad survived!" He said shaking his head. "If I would have known to his existence tou main usy pehly he marwa chuka hota!" He said in poisonous tone and I felt tears stinging my eyes..

"Abhimanyu! I don't know who he is! One of the kid from my human trafficking business! Hmmm! He ran away!" He was so casual about Abhimanyu..

One of the tear slipped my eye and he got up to come close to me.

"And now your Manik!" He murmured in a tone filled with cruelty and I shivered. I froze on my place and he leaned in my ear..

I wanted to push him away but his words forced more of the tears out of my eyes..

"Manik's pregnant mother was a good fu*k!"

Damn..

Oh God..

How can he be so cruel..

So heartless..

"And now I wonder how it will feel to fu*k you!" His words again my eardrums and I pushed him away stumbling back..

My whole body was covered in sweat and I felt my legs giving out..

"You are a bastard!!" I shouted holding back to my baby and he pouted..

"I am!" He said casually and I stared at him with disbelief..

"You are a criminal! A rapist! A killer! You are a fu*ker! Your son died still you are not single percent guilty of whatever you did!!!" I shouted my lungs out and he looked furious..

Before he could say anything we both heard gun fires and loud shouts..

"What the fu*k is happening??" Khurana roared shocked and run outside..

I also followed him and he stood in the front door shocked..

The sight in front of us was really shocking as I saw million of people standing with so many of the banners and hockey sticks in their hands. The police was also with them.

The gaurds, Khurana's guards were under arrest..

"Suresh Khurana! I ACP Rakesh Shergil suggest you to come out and surrender to us! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!!" We both heard a man shouting on the speaker and Khurana turned to me..

"What the fu*k you did?" He roared at me and I backed off..

"I did what you deserved!" I said in a confident tone and before he could touch me anymore his hand was held by someone and I was strongly covered by five muscular man..

I didn't need to look twice to figure out who were they..

My HEROES were back..

________________________

Manik's POV..

It was 9 am of the morning and finally we noticed the watchman seeping, swaying on his stool drowsily. He was awake whole night..

"Okay guys! Let's do this!" I whispered getting up from my place and walked towards the bars without making noise.

This was my first and last chance to get out of here.

Taking a deep breath I extended the stick with the bob pin attached to it out of the bars and tried to hook it up with the keyring of the keys..

Come on! Come on! Come on!!

With loads of struggle the pin loop finally hooked with the keyring. I carefully pulled it out of the watchman's pocket and immediately retreated my hand back..

Finally! Like finally I got the keys..

I turned back to my buddies and they all beamed with joy rushing towards me.

"Now listen to me! No killing! Just injure the one whoever come to you! They all are government employees! We are not allowed to kill them they are only doing their job! Got it??" I whispered to them..

"Aye Captain!" All whispered back saluting to me and I nodded. The distance between the bars was enough to fit my hand. I quickly twisted the key in the keyhole and the door was open. We came out hastily and bumped into each other which forced us to laugh. It forced the watchman's sleep and we all bite tongues..

"How! How did you all come out?" He asked frantically and I jingled keys, flashing my teeth at him excitedly. Before I could argue further Abhimanyu punched his face so hard, he fell unconscious in a second..

"His voice was annoying!" Abhimanyu said coldly walking towards the staircase of the basement..

Seriously??

He is so damn cool .

We quickly followed him and climbed the stairs in haste..

We finally reached up. We opened the door with the jerk almost enthusiastically ready for some power packed action but the scene in front of us paused us as nobody was attentive to us everyone like all the policeman were engrossed in watching something on the TV..

I felt Harshad's pat on my shoulder and he gestured me towards the television screen..

What I saw on the TV almost caused my heart jump in my throat as there were people..

Billion of peoples holding the banners and were marching..

It was a strike.

The banners were for us..

What's happening??

Suddenly there was a loud roar and shout of crowd all policeman turned to us..

"You all are out??" One of them whispered and before any of us could do anything a stone hit the window breaking it in pieces.

"Release the rogues! Release our rogues!!" These were the only shouts we could hear..

Suddenly the door of the police station jerked open and the ACP came in.

"Eagle boys! You all free to go! We can't you have here anymore! Sorry for the inconvenience!" He said loudly and he was followed by Dad and Johnny. Along with him was Haider and other rogue leaders..

"What's happening?" I asked in a shocked tone and walked towards them..

"Dude! Your girlfriend happened!" Haider mocked at me and I looked at Dad who nodded..

"Switch to the PNC!" Haider said to one of the constable who had the remote in his hand. He immediately shuffled with the remote and finally switched the channel.

It wad Khurana on the screen..

"You know! The two brothers, Cabir and Dhruv! I don't exactly remember the name!" He started was saying pouring the scotch in a glass from the bar counter. He was looking casual. "I killed their father!" He confessed and his tone send held no mercy.

"Why?" It was Nandini's voice she wasn't visible..

"I don't leave loopholes you know! So their father saw me killing a man! So he needed to die!" He replied calmly and I held Cabir's hand..

"Nandini is alone with him?" Abhimanyu spoke in a growling tone and immediately the realization dawned me..

"Fu*k! She isn't safe!" I suddenly shouted and turned to the ACP who was now calling to his heads and all the subordinates..

"ACP! Now is there any loophole left? Khurana is the criminal!" I shouted at him and he nodded..

"I know! I knew it since long my boy! I promise he isn't gonna get away this time! Let's go! We need to be there!" He said in a determined tone and started walking out gesturing us to follow him..

You are so gone Khurana..

____________________________

Nandini's POV...

"How dare you?!" I heard Manik's voice filled with possessiveness and I closed my eyes in content..

My lover was back..

"You all are out?" He Khurana asked horrified and Abhimanyu was the first to kick his stomach which caused him to stumble back he fell in the porch..

Then all five of them kicked and punched the shit out of Khurana until they reached the road..

I was following them quietly..

The rage, the agony I saw in all five of them eyes caused me to shiver and I felt happy that finally they were able to take their revenge..

The whole public was watching Khurana's end. Those who were sitting home must be getting a live coverage..

"You son of a bitch!"

"You will rot in hell!"

"Fu*ker!"

"Killer!"

"Bastard!"

All five of them were shouting crazily and I felt that they will kill Khurana..

Yes they should do it..

"Eagles! Stop! You are not allowed to kill him!" ACP shouted and his men parted Manik and others away from Khurana..

"I will kill him!!" Abhimanyu shouted and I sensed he was crying..

"I can still hear the screams of my mother! You killed her!" It was Manik..

So sad...so vulnerable..

My little baby..

I so wanted to hug..

Dad was holding my hand but I freed it and run towards Manik to hug him..

"Manik!" I sobbed his name and finally reached him to hug him tightly. He hugged me back and I felt his whole body shivering..

"It's okay!" I whimpered as his crying and shivering didn't stop..

He broke the hug hastily and cupped my cheeks only to fuse my lips with his..

My hands curled his hair and I anglered my hea to deepen the kiss we both were crying..

Ahhh! It was so painful..

We kissed and kissed until I felt myself going all breathless..

He broke apart and we gasped as his forehead rested with mine..

"It's all over! Okay! We are okay!" I whispered running my fingers through his hair and he nodded still hiccuping..

I hugged him once again and he held me to his dear life..

We saw the policemen made Khurana get up and he did limping all the time.

Few of the Constable were standing around us and other were taking Khurana away..

Finally it was all ov---..

"Manik Malhotra! Your love is gone!" I heard Khurana shout hysterically and the next second he had a gun in his hand which he had pulled out of the holster of a policeman. We all heard a gunshot and I screamed loudly holding to my baby, I had my eyes closed. That one gunshot was followed by so many others and I sank on the road..

Suddenly there was a pin drop silence and then Manik's hysterical shout which was..

"Bhaaai!"

I opened my eyes with a jerk only to see Harshad bhai lying on the road with blood oozing out of his body exactly from where his heart was.

No...no...

He saved me...he...he saved my baby ..

"Harshad Bhai!" I shouted like a maniac before crawling towards him and Manik placed his head on his lap..

Yar milte hai pyar milte hai
Hamko yarro nasib se
Ek duje ki adate bante dil ko chute karib se
Har hassi be aansu pe de de jo pehra

"No no no! Hey bro! Ambulance! Somebody call the doctor!!" Manik was shouting placing his hand on Harshad's wound and was crying loudly..

"Hey!" Harshad said with a weak smile on his face and held Manik's hand..

"You didn't need to do that bro! Why?? You promised to be with me!!" He wasn't making any sense other three were also crying kneeling beside us..

"I...I promised to your baby!" Harshad bhai whispered looking at me and I felt my heart busting. "It was a chacho's promise!" He breathed with a smile and Manik's expressions were unbearable..

"Don't gooo!" Manik cried resting his forehead against Harshad's..

"I have to..." Harshad's voice was faint..it was getting lower..

"Main nahi reh paoan ga!" Manik again cried..

"Nandini hai tery sath!" Bhai replied softly and I hiccuped..

Ek din kyu chale hain jate chod ke tanha
Yeh dosti.... milti nasib se
Yeh dosti.... nazuk hain narm hain
Yeh dosti.... yaaro ka karm hain

"Mat ja yaar! Tu ny promise kiya tha!!" Manik was begging and Harshad just smiled at him, shaking his head..

"Bhai!" Dhruv mewed wiping the sweat off of Harshad's forehead..

"I will mis--mis you guys!" Harshad coughed and all of them hiccupped. "Be happy!" He said with a smile and other four held his hand tighter. I too lifted my numb hand and placed it over theirs..

"Don't!" I said hoarsely and almost desperately..

"Mom...dad...my brother...they...are here to take me...am gonna meet them!" Harshad was whispering to himself...

He was breathing his last..

The cloud rumbled and suddenly it was raining..

It felt that the angels of heaven were also crying..

Harshad's eyes were closed now and suddenly he hiccupped..

It was the last breath he took..

The bullet had hit directly to his heart..

He saved me...he saved my baby...he saved US for his buddy...

He was loyal..

Loyal to his Friend... Loyal to his brother.... Loyal to me and most specifically loyal to the unborn..

He was the best man..

The cloud cried as a pure soul left the cruel world and made it's way towards the heaven leaving all of us crying for him..
