Her Last Wish

Chapter 8

Listen, I need to talk to you all about something important. I know you read the chapters, and I don’t know if you enjoy them or not, but if you are reading them, you must be enjoying them to some extent. So, please make sure to vote or comment at least a little! The views are reaching 80-90, but there are only 12-13 votes. At least 25-30 votes should come in, right? If you don’t want to vote, that’s okay, but at least leave a comment.Otherwise, I’ll feel like no one is enjoying the story, and I might have to stop it even if I don’t want to. So please, I request you all.

Saari duniya se jeet ke main aaya hoon idhar
Tere aage hi main haara, kiya tune kya asar?
Main dil ka raaz kehta hoon
Ki jab-jab saansein leta hoon
Tera hi naam leta hoon, ye tune kya kiya?

At Mehra Villa,

Abhi sipped his coffee on the plush beige sofa in the living room.Meanwhile, behind the marble pillar, Ananya, Abhay, and Rhea crouched, their whispers barely audible.

Ananya glanced at them with a sharp, determined look.

Ananya:- Yaad hai na tum dono ko kya karna hai.

Abhay, fidgeting with his hands, straightened up.

Abhay:- Yes ma'am jaise aapke kaha tha,humne criminal abhi ko manane ke liye saari taiyaari karli hai.

Ananya smirked.

Ananya:- Good,agar tum aise hi kaam karte rahe toh tumhara promotion ek din zarur ho jayega and Officer Rhea,aap bataiye.

Rhea gave a crisp nod.

Rhea:- Yes ma'am, everything is ready.

Ananya replied, brushing an imaginary speck of dust off her sleeve.

Ananya:- Good,abhi chalte hai.

As they prepared to move, a voice cut through their conspiratorial whispers.

Abhi:- Oh pillar gang,tumhara khusur pusur ho gaya ho toh zara bahar bhi aayenge aur batayenge kya important meeting chal rahi thi.

Abhi’s deep voice carried a teasing lilt, making the trio freeze momentarily. Slowly, they emerged from behind the pillar, their expressions sheepish.

Abhi stood, coffee mug in hand, his eyes narrowing playfully. He paced around them like a seasoned interrogator, crossing his arms.

Abhi:- Hamare khilaf kya shadyantra Racha ja raha tha.

Rhea, putting on her best act, stammered,

Rhea:- Kuch nahi sarkaar.

Abhi tilted his head, his piercing gaze fixed on her.

Abhi:- Toh aaplog waha pillar ke peeche khade rehkar kya kar rahe the.

Ananya, unfazed, crossed her arms and met his gaze with mock defiance.

Ananya:- Tumse matlab,tum meri baat nahi maante toh hum tumhari baat ka jawab kyu de.

She flipped her hair with a dramatic flair.

Ananya:- Come On,officers,let's go.

The trio walked away with over-the-top seriousness, leaving Abhi behind, shaking his head in amusement.

Abhi:- Kuch toh gadbad hai Abhi.....kuch toh gadbad hai.

He muttered under his breath before heading to the dining area.
