Renaming Destiny : Apsara To Myla

Terrorists

WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT AHEAD!!

Myla's POV

I felt my skin go cold as soon as I saw the model behind me go lifeless as he looked at the ceiling while blood ran down his jaws from his mouth. I felt a sob escape me but I could not move one inch. Many more gunshots and yelling was heard but I was immovable. When I could think straight for a second, I tried to stand up but the gown was making it too tough for me to even get up from the floor of the runway. I managed to pull the gown up which made things a little easier and ran to find and exit. 

That is when I saw some men dressed in black clothes with their faces hidden with similar black masks run around and shoot anyone they laid their eyes on. I quickly made my way to the dressing room in hopes of finding my team. But the whole place was empty and completely trashed. Dresses and jewelry which costed millions of dollars were thrown here and there. I heard someone's approaching footsteps and decided to hide in one of the changing rooms. I heard a man speak a foreign language angrily. 

I hid behind the movable racks placed in the far corner of the changing room and covered my mouth to make sure I did not make a sound. I saw one of them walk in and remove his mask. He yelled something to the others and they stormed in too. They started to empty the boxes which contained many expensive jewelry as if they were trying to find something among them. I heard a lot of commotion suddenly from outside and saw one of them pull in a woman who was trembling in fear. "Please, let me go!! Please!!", she begged as they pushed her on the floor and started to punch her and kick her. I wanted to go out and help her but I could not find the courage to do so. 

She cried for help multiple times until she was unconscious and her breathing got too low. I saw them walk out and as soon as their voices faded, I ran to the woman and shook her. I felt like a loser to let all that happen to her and I did not want to die from the guilt of not helping her when I finally had a chance. I grabbed a bottle of water from a table near by and sprinkled some water on her face. It took her some time but she slowly opened her eyes and looked around. I signaled her to stay quiet and follow me. I slowly poked my head out and saw no one. I held her hand which was still bleeding and slowly walked out until we had reached the entrance of the runway from the back stage when we saw the US soldiers walk in on full alert. I sighed in relief and looked at the woman behind me she had a small smile on her face. But her eyes widened and a loud gunshot was heard. I saw her hold her stomach and fall to the ground, still looking at me as she sucked in her last breath.

I was frozen in my spot not able to recover from the attack but looked back to see the men who had beaten her up aiming their guns now at me. Everything happened slowly. I felt a flesh tearing pain in my right arm one second and the next second I felt the same pain on my left thigh and then another one on my left shoulder. I felt my whole body go numb and felt nothing else after that. I fell to the ground unable to bear the pain and looked at my arms and legs slowly bleed out. I felt my breaths getting sharper and shorter and felt like the whole world was spinning. 

I kept coming back to consciousness and slipping out. I felt someone lift me up while crying out my name. I felt a sudden rush of hotness so much that it felt like my skin was being burnt alive and then a loud blast. That was all I felt as I let go and slipped into darkness. 

Ashwin's POV

One moment she was walking on the runway and the next she was on the floor. I was scared she would never forgive herself for embarrassing herself on the runway and facepalmed myself but a loud gunshot from behind me startled me. I looked back at a short guy who had a gun in his hands. I looked back to see it was aimed at Apsara and her falling down actually saved her. I turned to the guy who was backing up from the crowd and ran behind him giving him no chance to escape. "STOP RIGHT NOW, YOU FUCKING COWARD!!!!", I yelled angrily. He did not stop but held up the middle finger while laughing like a mad man. When I finally found him, I held onto his black top and pushed him to the ground. I sat on him and threw punches over his mask. 

I ripped the mask away and saw his bleeding face. But he was still smiling. I grabbed him by his collar and asked him, "Why did you aim at her?", he laughed and replied, "We don't care about whoever she is, motherfucker. We only want everyone here gone!!!!!", he said. I landed a few more punches until his smile was wiped off and he was hardly breathing. I wanted to make sure Apsara was alright and ran back to the runway even though I wanted to skin that bastard alive and saw what shook me to the core. 

There she stood in front of the terrorists with fear evident in her eyes as one of them aimed at her and fired. I ran to her as the soldiers of the USA fought with the terrorists. I saw a wound on her shoulder. I felt wetness on my hands which held her legs and her blood stained my white shirt. I picked her up as tears blurred my vision while I kept saying her name trying to keep her conscious. I had almost made my way out when one of the terrorists exploded a grenade making my body feel like it was burning. I felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of my leg and fell to the ground unable to hold her anymore. I saw a metal rod had pierced my leg making it impossible to move. I saw that Apsara was losing a lot of blood. I screamed in pain and lifted myself up even though my body was begging me to give up. I picked her up as I felt a lot of blood ooze out of the both of us. I made it out of the building and thankfully the army was standing on guard and ran to help us. 

I saw black spots in my vision as I saw them take Apsara from my arms and run to the ambulance. I tried calling her name but slowly everything faded and I let the darkness conquer me. 

Aniket's POV

I looked at my wife through the glass separating out chambers and sighed. We had a huge fight in the morning and it was no news that she was angry at me. Just when I thought we were getting better something would happen to break us up. I stood up from my seat sighing and walked to her cabin. I knocked on the door and saw her look up but look away angrily immediately. I opened the door and walked in. "I did not ask you to come in", she muttered. "I own this building. I can do whatever I want", I said and walked around the desk. I leaned towards her and whispered in her ears, "I own you too", she looked at me and rolled her eyes. 

I grabbed her belongings and threw them in her bag and shut her laptop. She was annoyed but did not speak a word. "I still have some work. You can go home if you want-", I cut her off. "Shut up and follow me to the car or else I'll throw you on my shoulder and take you there myself". She scoffed and said to herself, "Yeah! Like you can lift me". I raised my eyebrows and bent down to put her on my shoulder. She let out a gasp and they begged me to put her down. I smiled at her cuteness and said, "There is nothing I can't do. So, don't underestimate me like that again".

She was still panting as I walked her out of the building. I drove her to her favorite restaurant before going home and she looked a little happy about it. But all happiness left her and me as soon as we reached home. I saw my mother crying loudly and Akanksha rubbing her back. Adarsh was on his phone while our father sat on the couch while closing his eyes. I strode towards him and asked, "What happened?", he opened his eyes and I saw red, tear-filled eyes look back at me with no hope left. "Aniket...", my mother cried. I saw Prasiddhi run to her as her cries got louder. 

Adarsh came back and said that they could leave immediately as the private jet was ready. I stood up and asked him what was wrong. "There was a terrorist attack at a fashion show today in the US where Apsara was at. Ashwin had flown there for her and now both of them are in the hospital. As far as we know, Ashwin has a wound in his leg and Apsara.....", I felt my throat run dry.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO APSARA??!", we turned around to see Swapna aunty at the door of our house.
