The Barren Love

The Last Moment

Another Person's POV

Ishan looked at him so tenderly. He walked closer to him with heavy heart. They both stood against each other. Shubman wonder how he was dragged at this point. He never imagined his life to turn out like this.

He held his gun and pointed towards Ishan. His hand tremble but he never leave his focus. His nation comes first. He vowed to give justice to every single person living.

His eyes looked at the man he loved all those month. He does even feel Ishan is the same man he loved.

He put a facade and looked at the criminal in front of him. He forgot every single memories he spend with this man.

"I won't even get place in hell... Shubman..."

Shubman was taken back from his words. He wondered what's the meaning of this. Hell....after killing so many people.

"You're thinking it now after taking so many lives Ishan....."

Ishan eyes have no regret. Shubman could see that clearly. Lives of those people meant nothing for Ishan.

"It's not because I killed those bastards. I regret not loving you enough. I regret not giving you the love you deserve....you deserve much better..."

Shubman wanted to yell at him. He want Ishan to beg for mercy. A single tear trickle down from his left eyes.

Shubman hands almost gave up when Ishan held it. He point the gun right towards his chest, where his heart beating in every second.

"I'm glad that you're the one holding the gun against me. I would love to die from your hands only. I can't explain how much it matters to me that I will die in your hold. I love you Shubman...."

Ishan said with tears in his eyes. Shubman felt his heart bleeding into death. Ishan never let the smile fade away from his lips.

Shubman closed his eyes and then opened to see Ishan still smiling. He counted in his heart.

He fall on the floor. The bullet pierced his heart. Shubman fall into his knees when he saw the blood painting the floor. He crawled towards Ishan's body.

The smile was still adoring his face. Shubman closed Ishan's eyes before calling his department to tell them that he finally killed the seriel killer.

Soon the team came and took the body away. Virat looked at Shubman standing there staring at the pool of blood on the ground.

"It must be hard for you...."

Virat said. Shubman could understand nothing. His heart is dead. Only Virat was the one who knew about Ishan in Shubman's life.

He wanted to comfort the boy but he can't feel sympathy for Ishan when many families were destroyed because of him.

Shubman felt a key put on his pocket. He glanced at Virat who looked at him and said.

"The key of his house. I could stop the searching team for maximum three hours. Get whatever you want from there as a memory. If you wanted to only...."

Virat could only do this much for the younger at this tough time. Shubman clenched the keys tightly in his hand.

He drive to the streets he once was in love with. He parked his car near the building he was familiar with all these months. He walked up to the floor where Ishan used to reside.
