IMPORTANT!!!!! READ AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END, FOR INFORMATION REGARDING FURTHER UPDATES OF THE STORY!!
Ishita, incessantly pressing the button to the lift, not realising her rage was completely misplaced, she felt a hand onto her hers, calmly taking her hand of the button of the lift, a touch she very well recognized. she looked away, not wanting to say something she would regret later.
"woh, 5th floor pe kaam chal raha hai...labor kaafi der tak life hold karke rakhti hai...unloading ho rahi hogi..." informed dushyant, calmly, as ishita just nodded.
dushyant, who was already standing just centimeters apart from her at the back, attempted to slid his hand onto hers, as she resisted, which he sensed, withdrawing it immediately.
"you know, this is the third time we are here....pehli baar, tumhe yahan paaya...dusri baar tumhe yahan khoya...aur aaj, tumhe yaad dilane aaya hoon...ki jab tumne haan kahi thi mujhse shaadi karne ko....i clearly said, ki inn logon ka meri life mein koi haqq nahi hai. hamari life humne banayi hai, aur hum hi banayenge...aur koi bhi maai ka laal tumhe kuch kahega na, maar khayega mujhse by god..." confessed dushyant, as ishita turned back to him, a smile on her face.
"i'm serious...aunty ko toh khair suna hi sakta hoon, par zaroorat padhi toh purvi unhe maar sakti hai..." assured dushyant, smiling as ishita's face lit up a little.
"kab tak ladenge?" questioned ishita, her eyes, genuinely exhausted, as dushyant kissed her forehead, before patting her nose.
"jab tak saath hain, toh kya farak padta hai..." stated dushyant, as if everything was just that simple.
"baaki, tumhe kya lagta hai? yeh stupid se auntyan mujhe rokenge tumhare saath rehne ko? biwi ho yaar tum meri! 7 janmon tak tumhe irritate karke bhi peecha nahi chodunga main tumhara!" assured dushyant, the sincerity in all of his words, made them more adorable than comical, yet earnestly full of love.
her heart couldn't help but believe, this was the right choice....
A tear fell on the screen of her phone, as ishita wiped it off.
'abhi saat janam bache hain tumhe taane dene ko...khabardaar mujhe usse pehle chod ke gaye!' warned ishita emotionally, as their wedding photo appeared on her phone's lockscreen, trying to be mad at him, but couldn't.
'i love you, you idiot!' exclaimed ishita, when her phone rang. it was neelu's.
"inn logon ka meri life mein koi haqq nahi hai. hamari life humne banayi hai, aur hum hi banayenge..." dushyant's words started to echo in her mind, as she received the call.
"hello." received ishita the call, not really forgiving, only formal.
"hey.." came purvi's voice from other end of the call, surprising ishita.
"i knew, tum, mera phone nahi uthati..." stated purvi, as ishita felt like hanging up already.
"i know, you don't want my sorry...but i'll tell you that i know i did wrong, and whatever you'll want me to do to fix it, i'll do it....because, any stupid prejudice joh maine unknowingly rakha, it's...it's not even close to how i will always feel about you...which is, that, you are my best friend...and i-lo-v---" purvi was starting to choke up, but one thing that could be said, is that those words were enough for ishita to know whatever that there was to.
"6 baje ready rahogi?" asked ishita, a smile crept up on purvi's face, rest assured, their silences could converse with each other effortlessly.

meghna, with grabbing a wounded and unconscious kavin by his arm around her shoulder, was running for their dear lives, as fast as she could. sameer, who literally had dushyant climbing on his back, a miracle that he showed any signs of breathing at all, was just rushing for any chance of his son's survival, on what seemed like a never-ending open field. suddenly, they all heard a gun shot fired.
***
Purvi came down from the hotel staircase, ishita already had the trunk of another car opened, confusing purvi.
"tumne mujhe akele kyun bulaya?" questioned purvi, as ishita just quietly handed her phone to her.
a confused purvi, looks over, only to be completely horrified with what was visible in front of her eyes.
***
meghna, panicked looking around to see if she was wounded, and then at kavin, they both were fine....confusing her as she looked at sameer, who was equally puzzled, the bullet didn't seem to be for a person.
they turned, to find the holder of the gun, it was savita. her stone-cold death glare fixed upon sameer and meghna.
"yeh aap kya kar rahi hai!" exclaimed sameer.
"vidhwa kardenge woh meri beti ko! maarna padega mujhe tum sabko, usse bachane ko!" proclaimed savita, driven by this unexplainable madness, as sameer completely panicked, thinking what would be the result of kavin's death.
"nahi! nahi! sambdhan ji, meri baat suniye...hum sab yahan se bhaag sakte hain...ek dusre ki jaan bacha sakte hain...aap please, aisa kuch mat kijiye jiska afsoos aapko hi ho baadmein...apni beti ka sochiye...kya woh apnayegi aapko yeh baat jaankar, ki apne uski best friend ke pati aur saas ko maar diya? kya gurantee hai yeh aapko ya dushyant ko chodenge? thoda thande dimaag se sochiye, please..." requested sameer, as savita was completely unmoved, ready to press the trigger.

IMPORTANT! REGARDING FURTHER UPDATES OF BOTH THE STORIES:
author's note: firstly guys, as i mentioned, have my final exams from this week, so there will be no updates for both the stories till 12thmarch. But, because it can end up too long a time for me to distance myself from the story and then actually get back to it(plus, i'll miss you guys too much...), i have decided to post short previews and scenes from chapters coming up soon and then rather than actual updates, which can take sometimes hours to write. this way, when i get back to writing, i'll have ready material to update quickly and daily, while still being able to stay connected with you guys and the story, because let's be real, you all have made this story really what it is. the previews won't be longer than a 100 words, so you know if i'm on a short break in between studying or on my commute, i can just type it out on my phone itself, and share it with you guys. so if you are interested, please follow me on my instagram, link down below(copy paste it on your browser):
