" D-Don't burn me alive! I-I want to live. " Sameer jolted up in horror as the burning figure replayed in dreams or rather say nightmares.
" Aap thik hai? " He turned to the voice, startled.
" Tum? " He shrieked out.
She flinched, " Haan, hum. " She stared at him blankly.
" Tum kab lauti? " He sat back, gathering his senses back.
" Aaj subah, aap itne dare dare se kyu hai? " Zoya asked, knowing he might have seen another nightmare.
" Tumse matlab nahi hai. Jao tum. " He muttered.
" Haan, kyu nahi hoga. Jab aap kisi aur ko khilona samjh ke uski zindagi barbaad kar ke bhi aapko usse koii matlab nahi hai toh hume bhi kyu hi hoga. " Zoya scoffed.
Anger rose within Sameer as he nearly pounced on her, she pushed him back, " Humne aapse pehle bhi kaha tha, humse tameez se pesh aaiyega, hum aapko sehen nahi karenge. " She muttered coldly.
She walked out of the room, leaving back furious Sameer.
Maya was busy going through her notes, a chuckle escaped her lips as she heard the argument.
It was only a day left for Mahi and Rishi's death anniversary. No one really cared, but everyone pitied Rishi who fell prey to Mahi whereas she was cursed by every breathe. But the question was, did she deserved it?
One day was left.
Maybe, last day of Sameer's life.
" Are you ready? " Vikram squeezed Maya's hands, asking for reassurance.
She nodded, walking in Mahi's room. It was her day, she'd either lose herself or win everything.
It was a big risk. Either do Or die.
" Mahi? " She voiced, trembling with nervousness.
There was no reply, everything was dead silent. Maya gasped feeling pain rising in her, her limbs betrayed her. She crouched down on the cold floor, her lips trembled in a wicked smile as her red eyes reflected pure hatred.
" Rest in Peace, Sameer. " She said, unlike herself. Her voice was noticeably raspy, as if her throat gave up after screaming horrifically.
" I really feel bad still, they were too young to rest in peace. I hope they attained enlightenment after their death, 9 years back. " Sameer's cunning smile yet again fooled the public which was masked with expression of pure pity.
" How could someone attain peace after death when her murderer wanders around with no guilt? " The familiar voice caught him off guard, he turned back to the petite figure of Maya.
She walked to the balcony, her aura screaming pure rage and dominance. Everyone's eyes darted at her courage, courage to catch the king off guard himself.
She internally smiled contently seeing his bewildered expressions. She had already won the half battle, all she needed was trust now.
" Y'all hate Mahi, don't you? " She asked, calmly.
The public down in the garden stared at her confused. Soon they arena echoed with negativity and cursing, no sooner she asked the reason.
" Gumraaho ka hai yeh raasta.... " Everyone looked around, flabbergasted.
Maya looked up in the sky, dark clouds crowding the sky which surely meant no good. Or did it?
Vikram walked out, eyeing Sameer with a cunning smile as Sameer looked everywhere but Maya and Vikram.
" What's wrong with the climate now? " The public gossiped.
" Everything is meant to be right today. Either die or die. " Mahi's voice echoed again.
" What do y'all know about Mahi? Did she kill Rishi? " Maya asked.
A voice answered her among the crowd, " Of course, a gold digger she was after all. "
Maya's anger rosed up, boiling her blood with rage. " Oh, was she? What evidence do you have? "
" Sameer ji, himself claimed it. " The voice answered.
" Did you see it? " She asked, there was no reply.
" Answer me. " Maya snarled.
The air thickened with silence, a dead silence.
" Fine, I've something to show to y'all. Once you see it, y'all all free to make decisions. Mahi was killed, or she killed. " Maya sighed.
Sweat broke out all over Sameer's body, " S–She is t–trying to mis–misguide you. Y–Y'all trust me. Right? " Sameer yelled, not sure if people believed him or not.
The crowd by now was fuzzed in pure confusion, they couldn't really figure out who was true and who was lying.
The place grew darker, the arena echoed with faint screams.
" I–I want to live, d–don't kill me. "
" I–I never thought that you would deceive your own brother for the throne. "
" You are not worthy than my throne. "
" You know, I am sorry but I've to kill you. Or else your bloody mouth will spill everything to that dumb lover of yours. "
