Anamika's POV

"I'm sorry to ask this but how did Dr. Bose die?" Veer asked scratching his eyebrow.

"It was a murder. Happened during my internship at London" I said.

"Anamika pack your things I need you to vacate this house and come with me now" Veer said.

"Veer but why?" I asked surprised.

"The day you were attacked a bullet hit you and you felt unconscious. You didn't have any injury to your head. Someone wants you dead just like Dr.Bose and I won't let that happen. Not at least when I'm here" he said as I stuffed few of my clothes into the bag and gave it to him

We immediately left the place and hired a cab and soon I entered the world of my thoughts.

"What are you thinking about Anamika? If you're thinking about that asshole don't even do it" he said accelerating the vehicle.

"No Veer I think I know the reason why Samara wouldn't exist anymore" I said when he looked at me and sighed.

"I know she isn't coming back. But please don't remind me of it. I don't want to become the monster that I promised I'll never become" he said disappointed.

"Vee that's okay you will never become the monster you fear" I said assuring him.

"And why do you think that?" He questioned.

"Because I remember Arjun telling me that you have stopped killing people. You can go and blackmail them threaten them but as soon as you pick up the gun you get a guilt and your conscience doesn't allow you to shoot anyone" I said as he smiled.

"Thank you Dr Bose" he said smiling.

"I must thank you Veer. Because if you were not there I don't think I'd be able to erase her existence" I said.

He sighed yet asked me

"And why is that?"

"I killed Samara for love and I guess she found it. So I'm sure there is no coming back for her" I said.

"You killed Samara for love? You mean For Anwar?" He asked raising his eye suspiciously.

"I didn't kill her intentionally Veer. It was kind of an unfortunate accident. I was just saving myself" I replied in defense.

"Accident? Killing? You're confusing me Anamika" he said.

"We were eighteen years old then..."

Flashback. - 5 years ago

As far as I could remember, me and Samara were each other's half. If she went away for a long time, I'd feel numb, empty and nothing would motivate me; yet these feelings would vanish the second she was besides me again.

We talked about this once.

She swore to me that there'd always been something at the back of his head, a sort of whispering sound. She said that she always knew when I felt upset, angry or sad - even when I acted cool and nonchalant.

I wasn't surprised by that because I felt the same feeling countless times... it's like a kind of connection, a thread linking us both together in the most beautiful, sophisticated way possible.

It was strange but alluring nevertheless.

There was something about both of us pulling the other in her own orbit and neither wanted that to be weakened, even when we're all grown up.

Even when both of us would eventually have families of our own to love and cherish, we'll be each other's half and that'll always remain the same.

We were all a group of closely knit friends. All girls with one guy.- Yug
Yug was my best friend ever but Samara loved him to bits.

And one day when we friends were having a get together at our home in front of everyone she proposed him.

"I'm sorry Samara but I love somebody else" Yug said.

I knew how fiery her temper was! She clenched her fists in anger.

"But all those signals you gave me, Everything I felt was real Yug" she exclaimed.

"I'm sorry if you misinterpreted it Samara but I'm really in love with someone else but she doesn't know it either. I was supposed to tell her today" he said as he removed a rose from his pocket.

"I love you Seher. Will you give me the honour of being your boyfriend?" He asked getting on his knee.

"Yug. No. You can't do this to me" Samara said

"I don't love you that way Yug. You're my best friend. Also Samara loves you" I replied.

"But I don't love her Seher. I love you and that is more important for me" he said.

"I can't think of even being friends with a person who can't think of my sister's happiness. I'm sorry Yug" I said when Samara lost her patience.

"Everybody get the fuck out of here" she screamed at the top of her voice. 

"You were my sister Seher! Now you're nothing more than a mere slither of worthlessness. I trusted you! I cared for you! I prayed to the gods that you remained healthy, happy, strong. And this is how you repay me! This! Snatching away everything I love from me. Things can be okay Seher but people? Don't you know how much I loved him. Get out before I rip your filthy throat out! You are nothing to me anymore. You've lost all my trust, weakened your status. You are dead to me. Get out. Get out! Your presence makes me sick." She screamed at me.

With tears streaming down my face I walked up to the farm. Our house was on a hill top.

You could view the whole city if you stood at the end.

I stood at the end and cried blaming God for whatever happened. I didn't mean to hurt Samara. None of this was because of me.

Suddenly I felt someone behind me I got scared and when I looked behind it was Samara.

"Sam. I really didn't know about this. It was all unexpected."

"Do you love him?" She asked

"No I don't he's all yours" I said wiping my tears.

"Good because that's how I want it to be" she said giving me a smirk.

"Do you forgive me Sam?" I asked

"Maybe or maybe not" she replied.

"I'll set you up with him. Don't worry" I said when she looked away.

" I don't need your sympathy Seher. I need something else" she said pausing.

"What do you want? Tell me Samara, I'll give you anything and everything I can" I replied.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes you're my sister. I'll give away anything for you" I replied.

"Alright then give me away the most precious thing of yours" she said.

"I didn't get you Samara"

"Give away your life..." She replied as I stood there in shock.
