A loud gunshot echoed from outside as Ranjeet's eyes widened. One after another many gunshots echoed.
He glanced down at a half dead Nakshatra. He was sure that she would die even if someone saved her.
"Mahal mein aag laga do, chahe jo kuch bhi koi zinda nahi rehna chahiye."
("Put this palace on fire, no one should be left alive.")
He ordered his men and then ran from there, exiting the palace from the back door. In no time the palace caught fire.
Nakshatra opened her eyes with great difficulty. Her body pained, and more than that her soul pained. She shifted on her back, straightening herself.
She tried but was not able to sit up. Her legs felt numb, she right wrist broken.
"Ar...arjun.."
She whispered before losing her consciousness.
On the other hand,
Abhimanyu ran in as fast as he could. The back of the palace was burning and he had only a few minutes to save anyone left alive in there.
The land slipped from his feet as he entered the hall. The first thing he saw was Arjun laying on his back, in the pool of his own blood. It was as if a large massacre occurred there.
He ran to him and straightened Arjun whose eyes were almost closed.
"Arjun...ye...aapko kuch nahi hoga...hum apko kuch nahi hone denge...please apni aankhe mat band karna.."
("Arjun....this...nothing will happen to you...I won't let anything happen to you...please keep your eyes open..")
"Abhi.....woh...woh udhar...Nakshatra...unhe bacha lijiye...unhe...hospital......."
("Abhi...there...there...Nakshatra...save her...take her to the hospital....")
He stammered in between while he pointed out at a distance.He had lost a lot of blood. Abhimanyu placed his hand on Arjun's stomach trying to stop the blood flow. Tears streamed down Abhimanyu's eyes as Arjun smiled.
"Hamein maaf...maaf kardijiye Arjun...sab hamari galti hai...hum agar jaldi aa gaye hote...toh aaj ye...ye sab nahi hota..."
("Forgive me...forgive me Arjun...this is all my fault...I should've reached earlier...if I did...then this all...would've never happened..")
"Hum...hum nahi jaante...kunwar sa...ki aap kaise hamari Nakshatra ko bachayenge....par...par aap unhe pehle jaisa banayenge...jaise woh pehli thi....hamari shaadi ke baad...wada kariye...wada kariye hamse..."
