Tu hai mere jeene ki vajah

48

One day when Annika came back from work, the door of her house was unlocked, she got scared. She wondered if she had forgotten to lock it in the morning but that was unlikely. She picked up the broom before entering.

When she pushed the door, it was dark inside. Her fear of darkness overtook her senses, she was having trouble breathing, her heart rate was off the charts, her hands were sweating, she had no power or will to move forward.

But she did so anyway.

A woman called out her name. She felt she knew this voice but couldn't remember.

The woman appeared in front of her with a gun, it was Roop.

Roop: Annika, aaj mai tujhe nahi chodungi, teri vajah se mujhe jail jaana pada, meri mummyji ko mere plan or mere bache k bare me pata chal gaya. Tujhe to marna padega ab

{{ Annika, i will not leave you today, i had to go to prison because of you, my mother had to find out about my plan and my child. You will have to die now }}

Before Annika could react, Shivaay came running and stood in front of her like a shield.

S: Enough bua, mai Annika ko kuch nahi hone dunga

{{ Enough bua, i will not anything happen to Annika }}

Roop: theek hai fir bhateeje, pehle tera khel khatam karte hai

{{ okay then dear nephew, let's end you first }}

Roop fired the gun and the bullet went straight into Shivaay's head. Within seconds, he was on the floor, DEAD.

Annika fell down on the floor like a deflated balloon, held shivaay's face in her hands and let out his name in a painful cry, SHIVAAY!!!!!!!!!!!

She jerked open her eyes, sweating profusely. She was on her bed, but all the lights were off, it was pitch black.

A: andhera... andhera kyu hai... kahin vo sapna sach to nahi tha... nahi... nahi... shivaay theek hai, unhe kuch nahi ho sakta

{{ why is it so dark... was that a dream or not.. no... no.. shivaay is okay, he's okay }}

She felt around her bed to look for her phone. She unlocked her phone, it was 1 am. Her heart was beating really fast, her hands were shaking. She managed to call Shivaay, hoping he'd answer and it would all turn out to be a bad dream.

Shivaay did not answer.

She called again, the phone was ringing, on the last ring, he finally answered

S: Annika

She was still scared, she did not know what to believe, was this also a dream or was he really okay.

A: Shivaay (she sounded scared, her voice barely a whisper)

S: Annika kya hua, itni raat me call kiya, tum dari hui kyu ho, sab theek hai na

{{ what happened Annika, you've called really late, why are you scared, are you alright? }}

A: Shivaay (she was so scared that she had started crying)

S: Annika mai aa raha hu, mai aa raha hu okay, daro mat
