Virat's pov:

We just sat there waiting for Nishant to come. I had no idea what to do except making sure that Malvi is safe. One of the guards had signalled us when Nishant and his friends entered the mansion.

"What are you planning to do?" Malvi asked.

"No idea."

We heard muffled screams. The three of us looked at the door in front of us,alarmed
. It was a little open. Enough for someone to peek into our room.

A guards named Kishan messaged Parth that they have Jayesh, Shreyangi and Avinash are captured and drugged. Nishant didn't even try to help them.

So Nishant was the only one left.
I cuffed Malvi to the table. She looked at me, confused.
"So you wouldn't make any futile attempts to save me."

"But what if he overpowers you?"

"There are two of us, Malvi. He can't do that."

Nishant's pov:

I checked my back pocket for my gun. I had hid it from everyone. I bought it when we found out where Virat lives.

Maybe Virat will kill Jayesh. Shreyangi and Avinash will switch sides the moment they learn the truth. Or maybe he is too noble to kill Jayesh. It's possible that even Jayesh will change sides the moment be realizes what I did.

Now is the time to strike.
I entered the room, pulling an innocent smile on my face to fool Malvi.

Virat and Parth looked at me with anger. Malvi looked betrayed. What if she knows the truth? Will she go with me? Will she hate me for what I did? Whatever I did was just to make sure that Virat didn't get Malvi. But that resulted in with her death too.

Virat ran towards me and attempted to tussle me. But he was weak. As if he had just recovered from a very serious injury. Parth realizing this, joined us.

Malvi's pov:

I was scared out of my wits. I didn't know what to do. Parth and Virat were punching Nishant. Virat looked weak. As if he could pass out anywhere. There was nothing I could do. I was cuffed to the table.
I yanked on the handcuff. It wouldn't budge. It only cut my skin.

I heard a loud groan. I swiftly glanced to see. Virat lay on the floor, knocked out. It was only Parth and Nishant. I screamed at them to stop but they pretended as if they didn't hear me.

Nishant kicked Parth. Parth fell on the floor. Nishant reached for something in his pocket and took out a GUN?!!
I screamed in terror but he wouldn't even look at me.

He aimed it at Parth and hit the trigger. I screamed once again. I couldn't bear to look at Parth. He's dead.

Nishant walked over to me. I couldn't say anything.

Then he aimed the gun at the me. A whimper left my mouth. This is how I die. He hit the trigger. It hit the handcuff. He was aiming for the handcuff.
He came close now.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly.
I couldn't say anything. Anger hit my veins at the speed of lightning and I longed to kill him.

"Come on. Lets go."

"No."

"What?"

"I know everything, Nishant. How you betrayed us. How you first killed my father and then Virat and then me? Just because you hid the truth from me, doesn't mean that I won't ever remember it. You are an asshole, Nishant. You betrayed your brother. Your family. You deserve to die."

I tried to yank the gun out of his hand but he was too strong. He had a blank look at his face. He punched me. Pain erupted in my stomach and I fell to the ground.
"You know?"

I nodded.

"That leaves me with only one choice. First to kill you and then me. Maybe our souls will be together."
He raised the gun at me.

"No, please no."

A gunshot rang in the air. I screamed and covered my face with my hand. But I didn't feel any pain. I opened my eyes and saw Nishant clutching his chest and dropping to the floor.

Virat was behind with a gun pointing at the place where Nishant stood.

"I love you,Malvi."

Nishant said his last words and then closed his eyes for the last time.
       
                              ***

After covering Nishant's body with a blanket, I nursed Virat's wounds. Parth was alive. The bullet had omly grazed his chest.

After Shreyangi, Avinash and Jayesh woke up, we told them what happened. Jayesh mourned for his best friend but Shreyangi and Avinash understood. It turned out Anushka was with Virat. We asked where she was, she simply told that she went to call the police.

Virat had a few scratches and bruises anda broken rib. The police enquired Virat. I was in no mood to talk. I looked out the window, drowning in my own thoughts.

Everything is over. Finally the both of us can have the life promised to us.

Who said life doesn't have any adventures?
