The sound of ambulances and police cars filled the air. It took me and chuhi 10 minutes to eliminate the guards and we called the police after that. We didn't want to kill Dr Mehta and Mr X as we needed to get more information out of them. We caught both of them as they were trying to escape the mall. No matter how much we wanted to rip their hearts out, It was more important to gather information from them. Hence, we handed over their custody to the police. 

My eyes locked on chuhi. She was staring at the building silently. Her long hair was let out free instead of the tight ponytail she had before. Her khol eyes turned to me and she smiled. The moment our eyes met it seemed like the whole world disappeared. It was just us in the moonlight. Her smile was like a sudden beam of sunlight illuminating the darkness of the night. My heart skipped a beat seeing the most beautiful smile ever.

I walked towards her slowly. My breath hitched at seeing her in the moonlight. Her eyes worked as a key to releasing all the butterflies she created in my soul. Her long hair flew over her face, I raised my hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. I could see a faint tint of crimson spreading across her cheeks. She slowly opened her arms and engulfed me in a soft and warm hug. I closed my eyes and smiled. Being with her completed me. At that moment, I felt content.

A loud flash and click of a photographer interrupted our moment of peace. The News Reporters swarmed the area. My shoulders stiffened and I tightened my hold on chuhi's waist. I quickly pulled her away from the news reporters and started making my way to my car which was parked behind a bush nearby.

It is done. The mission has been successfully completed. The past 6 months flashed in front of my eyes. From the very first moment, I got to know about the scam to that night when Mendak caught me in Dr Mehta's cabin. Mendak, I smiled to myself at the mention of his name. Tonight is one night I will never forget in my life.

We almost had a moment today. He tucked my hair behind my ear and I could feel butterflies rising in my stomach and a rush of emotions entering my veins. I knew I was blushing and I hoped silently he wouldn't notice it. His eyes trailed over to my cheeks and a faint smile spread across his face. Oops, I guess he did notice it after all. A loud flash of a camera from one of the news reporters broke my train of thought. I glanced at Ivaan beside me, his shoulders had stiffened and he looked a little angry. Soon he took me away from the news reporters and we sat in his car. The car ride was silent and calming. Occasionally, I looked over at Ivaan whose demeanour hadn't changed since the news reporters disturbed our moment. His eyes were fixated on the road and his gaze was stern. I sighed and leaned back in the seat and let sleep consume me.

After a while, the rattle of the keys woke me up. I opened my eyes and realised that I was in mendaks arms and we were outside my apartment. Mrs Gupta was opening the apartment door, her hands shaking. Ivaan let out an exasperated sigh as he patiently waited for Mrs Gupta to figure out the keys. I patted Ivaans chest slowly and let him know I was awake. His eyes looked at me and he faintly smiled. I got down from his arms and took the key from Mrs Gupta's hands. I walked inside the apartment and expected ivaan to follow me. I turned not hearing his footsteps behind me.

3rd person's POV

Ivaan ( looking away ) - I guess this is it

Kavya ( raising her eyebrows in confusion ) - what do you mean this is it 

Ivaan ( his voice cracking ) - We won't be working in the same place anymore. We wont meet. We will be going in our separate ways now.

Kavya's eyes start tearing up 

Kavya looks down unable to control her tears. Ivan leaves the apartment with tears welling up his eyes.
