Author's POV

Arjun turned to Naina, a deep sadness in his eyes. “Sorry,” he said, and pulled the trigger.

But to everyone's shock, nothing happened. The gun clicked, but no bullet was fired. Arjun, desperate and consumed by his torment, pulled the trigger again and again, as if he truly wanted to end it all, but the chamber was empty. There were no bullets. His fingers tightened around the trigger, each click a futile echo of his broken resolve. Samar, standing at a distance, couldn’t help but laugh at the pathetic display before him.

“Teri jaan toh upar mere kamre mein hai,” (Your life is upstairs in my room) Samar said with cruel amusement, his voice dripping with malice. A wicked grin spread across his face as he watched Arjun's futile attempts. “Chalo, ab kal subah milenge.” (Come on, we’ll meet tomorrow morning.) Samar turned to walk away, clearly enjoying the suffering he had orchestrated, but just as he did, Arjun, in a surge of desperation, lunged forward and grabbed his leg.

“Nahi, please Samar, mujhse jo karwana hai, karwalo!” (No, please Samar, do whatever you want to with me!) Arjun pleaded, his voice raw, desperate, trembling with fear. “Main sab kuch karne ko tayaar hoon. Bas Shivika ko... usse kuch mat karna.” (I’m ready to do anything. Just... just don’t do anything to Shivika.) His hands trembled as they clung to Samar’s leg.

Samar looked down at him, a twisted grin forming on his face. “Arre,” (Oh) he replied, voice low and mocking. “Ye sab toh sirf maze ke liye tha.” (All of this was just for fun.)

“Nahi, nahi, nahhhhiiii!” (No, no, noooo!) Arjun’s voice broke, the pain evident in every syllable. He fell to his knees, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. “Shivika abhi bohot choti hai. Uski puri zindagi barbaad ho jaegi!” (Shivika is still very young. Her whole life will be ruined!) He was frantic now, his words tumbling over each other in a desperate plea.

“Main usse sab bata dunga shuru se... wo maaf kar degi tumhe... tumhe apna sara business, saari properties sab de dunga, bas... bas usse chhod do! Uske saath ye zor zabardasti mat karo.” (I’ll tell her everything from the beginning... she’ll forgive you... I’ll give you all my business, all the properties, just... just leave her alone! Don’t do this forceful thing with her.) Arjun joined his hands in front of him, his heart in his throat, willing Samar to see reason.

Samar paused, the expression on his face unreadable for a moment, but his gaze flickered to the door. Suddenly, the quiet tension was broken by a sound that made everyone in the room freeze. The sound of footsteps, soft but undeniable. They looked up in unison. Shivika was standing there, her face pale, her eyes wide in horror.

Shivika's POV

So many voices were coming from below. I slowly removed the veil, walked out of the room, and stood by the railing. I saw Arjun put a gun to his head and pull the trigger. For a moment, I thought I had lost my friend, but then Samar started laughing. The man I thought I loved was cruelly mocking my best friend.

“Nahi nahi nahhhhiiii... Shivika abhi bohot chhoti hai, uski puri zindagi barbaad ho jaayegi,” Arjun begged. (No, no, nooooo... Shivika is still very young, her whole life will be ruined.)

“Main usse sab bata dunga shuru se, woh maaf kar degi tumhe... aur main apna sara business, saari properties tumhe de dunga, lekin ye zor zabardasti mat karo uske saath,” Arjun pleaded, joining his hands in desperation.
