*****

It was the day of competition, I was all ready to sing the song Mihu suggested. My name was supposed to be called now but I was busy waiting for Mihu Di. 

I came back stage as next was my performance and saw Aakriti standing there.

"Where is Mihu?" I asked her to which she looked at me and then at her phone.

"Mi--Mihu went to meet Ahan as he is her partner in dance. She will come soon." She said and showed me her phone in which Mihu had messaged her 15 minutes back.

"She will come,Right?" I asked Aakriti, not feeling well from inside.

Aakriti smiled at me and nodded her head. She then said,"Go Mr. Super Singer and make your Mihu proud. She literally took the form on the first day standing in line for three hours only for you." 

I smiled at her and shook my head slightly.

Mihu can never change. When she loves someone she gives her 100%. 

I hope Ahan treats her the best. She is really precious for anyone.

.

"The next participant is Anurag Basu." The anchor said and a huge round of applause was heard in the room.

I prayed to god once and checked around to see if Mihu was present or not. 

She wasn't! 

"Avinash go! Mihika will come soon." Aakriti said from behind and I nodded my head agreeing. 

I climbed the stage and stood in front of the mike.

"Good Evening judges, Avinash Banerjee this side. Today I will sing a bollywood song beautifully sung by Arjit Singh, Khariyat." I said and looked at everyone present.

Mihika where are you?

Taking a deep breath I started singing,"Khairiyat puchho
Kabhi to kaifiyat puchho
Tumhaare bin deewane ka
Kya haal hai

Dil mera dekho
Na meri haisiyat puchho
Tere bin ek din jaise
Sau saal hai......"

A loud applause was heard after I finished singing the song. 

Smiling I got out from the hall as the results will be told after seeing performances.

Coming to the back stage, I saw Ahan standing there and hugging someone.

I ran towards him and freed him from the girl to hug Mihu and to my shock it wasn't her. 

Anger hit my nerve, I took hold of Ahan's collar. 

"Where the hell is Mihika, Ahan?" I asked him, gritting my teeth. 

"So, here you are Mr. Banerjee. I was waiting for you." He said and my grip on his collar tightened.

"Mihika.. She is.. hmm.. I don't know. Where is she, Anurag?" He asked me and punched him on his face.

"WHERE. IS. SHE. AHAN." I asked again leaving him. 

"She can be where-ever she wants to be. You think I care a shit about her. Nop, I don't love or like her. I wanted her and some money. Now I have them, so she can go to hell." Ahan said and I felt the ground beneath me going. 

"YOU-" I was about to say but Aakriti stopped me by her shouts. 

"Avi--Avinash, Mi--Mihika my ro--room, am--Ambulance." She stammered and I felt that I was losing my everything suddenly.

"What? Am--Ambulance? Is that girl mad?" I heard Ahan whispering making my head boil.

I again punched him on his face and started running towards Aakriti's room. 

Aakriti lives in the college dorm, I remember that. 

I have visited her room twice. 

I sprinted off to her room and saw a crowd just outside it. 

"Heyy.. please..excuse me." I said and made my way inside her room to find the male nurses taking Mihika in a stretcher while her dress and hand were dressed with blood. 

"Mihika." Shouting I ran towards her and the nurses carried her outside. 

"Le--lett--er." I heard Mihika mumble lowly and then closing her eyes.

"What has happened to her?" I questioned one of the nurses.

"Sucide case, Sir. Madam has slit her left wrist and it is really deep." The nurse said making me stop walking.

I looked in front and saw nurses going fastly. I ran towards them fast enough to stop in front of the nurse I was questioning.

"Are there any chances of survival?" I asked him to which he sighed and replied,"Her pulse is extremely low and much blood is already lost. I doubt if she could make it to the hospital."

I shook my head. Mihika can't die. I am here, her younger brother will save.

What are brothers for if they can't save their sisters.

The nurses kept Mihika inside the stretcher and then closed the door.

While I stood in front the ambulance staring at them. 

How the hell it all happened? 

I doubt if she could make it to the hospital.

Her pulse rate was low and she has lost most of her blood.

Le--lett--er

The ambulance went from there to hospital while I ran towards Aakriti's room.

Reaching her room, I looked here and there. Blood was spread over the bed and on the floor. I looked over the corner and found a blade and a letter on the table.

I opened the letter with shaking hands. 

There were some tears drops on it. 

Dear Avinash,

Avinash because I want only you to read it. So, I think I am in another world now. 

I am sorry I wasn't ever taught to write such notes.

You might be thinking why I did this? Why have I taken this step? You were there for me then.

It was because I don't have the confidence. The confidence to show my failed face to you, to papa who took care of me after mumma's death. I don't have that courage.

He brought the company to heights and by my. one mistake, loving the wrong guy, he lost a deal of 1.5 Crores. 

I couldn't show my face to him. I couldn't show my face to the people after being used. I know, I am wrong but it's too late to think over that.

Sorry but I am leaving you alone in this cruel world, but I think you will find The One for you. I was just unlucky you know. 

And Mr. Super Singer, you have to become a singer and sing for your Mihu di, who is now shining like a star just for you. 

Please say dad,"I can't run more in life. I am done."

Love you kiddo. 

Your Mihu Di.

The letter fell down from my hand after seeing her words.

Mihu.. You could have told me, Why did you left it all? 

Tears filled my eyes knowing I lost someone close to me. 

It was all my mistake. She died because I wasn't there to save her. I was busy in building my career while she left her everything.

I am the reason why she died and the other is LOVE.

She loved him and now she is away from everyone she loved.

"Avinashhh" Aakriti shouted and I looked at her. 

Behind her Ahan was standing who had tears in eyes. 

Go to hell with tears.

"How can you?" I screamed and punched him on his face. 

"Wh-" he was about to say but I shut him up and shouted while punching him twice on nose "She trusted you and you piece of shit let her die." 

"Avinash stop!" Someone said but today I was filled with hatred for the guy and the FAKE love of his.

"You should die!" I said and kicked him in the stomach by which he fell down on the floor. 

I kneeled beside him and grabbed his neck "You don't deserve to live." Seeing him struggling to breath, I felt good. I felt satisfied.

I was about to leave him when baba came and slapped him on my face and shouted "Are you mad Avinash?" 

I looked at baba leaving him. Baba was glaring at me.

"Baba Mihu." I said and the last words  died in my mouth.

"Mihika is no more. Don't destroy your life beating him to death." Baba said and I looked at him shocked.

"Mihu?" I questioned and baba sighed.

"Me and Manish were in a meeting when we got a call from Aakriti about the situation. Just two minutes before, when we were reaching the hospital we got the call she died while reaching." Baba said and tears came up in my eyes.

"Manish has gone to hospital while I came here." Baba continued and hugged me. While I cried my heart out in his embrace.

"Baba..." I sobbed.

"Everyone will get the punishment. But stop playing with your career like this. Choose one, music or business." Baba asked, patting my shoulder.

This time I didn't lose.a beat and replied "business".

Music and love can never come as an option for me. They took her life away. They took her away from us.

"That was all prerna. Mihika isn't present physically but she is present in my heart. She grew with so much pain, fear and insecurities but still was bubbly and feisty. But after Ahan broke her heart, she left the hope to live." I said and felt Priya wiping the tears which I didn't know when tears ran out of my face.
