Hi everyone ! I'm really sorry for the late update. I'm finding it to be a real struggle juggling school, studies and writing. Apologies if I've kept you waiting too long.

At the beach,

Abhay, " You know Shivaay, people say that you get flashes of your life before you die. What can you see in your flashes ? "

Shivaay does get flashes of his moments with Anika and his family.

"Bhaiya, yeh aapka 80-va phone tha, jo aapne tod diya..."

"Mr. Bagad Billa Singh Oberoi, agar Rudra aur Saumya ki dosti ho gayi, toh aap khud chal ke aake mujhe Thankyou bolenge..."

"Shivaay, mujhe tujhpe poora bharosa hai. Tu deal crack kar lega... Yeh jahan jaanta hai , yeh samaa jaanta hai,....er...nevermind ! "

"Mera Heera Beta hai....."

"Bade bhaiya, hamari ek khwaiss thi bade bhai ki, woh bhi poori ho gayi...."

Abhay," So Shivaay, your flashes have flashed. Your life you have lived. Your wife and family you have loved. Your enemies you have defeated. Your time you have spent. Now, you are finished...."

Abhay goes a bit far, turns around to Shivaay and points the revolver at his chest. With everyone passing second, Shivaay again seems to hear his family's voices...

Abhay,"3.."

"Bhaiya, you are my Superman....."

"2.."

"Shivaay, tu says tha na ki tu sab theek kar dega ? "

"1.."

"Shivaay, aap kehte hai na ki Shivaay Singh Oberoi ki jaan itni asaani se nahi jayegi."

Boom ! The bullet escaped the revolver and swiftly moved towards Shivaay, as if it was racing with the wind. Shivaay knew he was going to meet his end , so he didn't try to escape, instead he closed his eyes as if saying a goodbye to this cruel world...

There was a shot, but then a shriek and then silence...

Shivaay opened his eyes to see who was the person who shrieked as if the world was over and also to see what was the fate of the bullet , if it hadn't hit him.His eyes widened at the sight. Anika had come in between , and bore the bullet on her chest. She had shouted out his name before being nailed to the ground by the bullet which had been previously destined to reach Shivaay's chest. Abhay looked on, flabbergasted. Tanya looked upset and more than that guilty..

Shivaay knelt down and took Anika face in his lap. Her eyes were partly open and her breath was becoming slower and slower with the passing micro-second.

Shivaay, " Anika ! You here , how ? "

"Shivaay, I...I followed you..."

"You never listen to me na...."

Tanya, " Shivaay, you can talk later. First,we need to take her to the hospital"

"Yes...come Anika"

Shivaay lifted Anika in his arms, while she fell unconscious. Abhay caught a hold on Tanya's arm, a very tight one, and said," Tanya, how did you come here ? "

"I dont owe you any explaination, Mr. Oberoi.

Leave my hand. "

She jerked off Abhay's hold on her.

"Shivaay, that rickshaw is still waiting outside. Let's hurry and take Anika to the hospital. "

Shivaay just nodded and hurried outside.
