The Sweet Poison

The Sweet Poison (#JaaneDeMujhe)

Tehzaab's POV:-

I stared at the dead body lying in a pool of blood. My hands were painted with the same red blood as one of them held the knife. I returned to my car and drove off.

I see newspapers, internet, and tv channels flooded with the crimes, I had committed. After all, I was famous for what I had done and was still anonymous.

Suddenly, I saw a girl slapping few boys. I paid no attention and drove off.

Months later, I pushed through a crowd and found a girl wailing, and holding a lady's head which was bleeding. I recognized that it was the same girl. I took them to the hospital and she thanked me.

"Hi.. Amrit here."
"Tehzaab.."
She told about herself. I was a little disturbed by how she gave all her information. She told that the old lady was her mother.

Friendship blossomed between us. It was odd because I never let anyone come closer to me.
Once, she accidentally heard me talking about another murder.
"You never told me that you're a criminal.." She sobbed. I was shocked to notice her presence. I told her the truth.
"When I was a kid, I was forced into this as I was an orphan. And now if I leave these, I'll get killed."
"I'll help you. Just be with me. Lead a normal life."
"why do you wanna help me?"
"Coz I love you."
I never got the love she gave me. She's special.
She helped me getting a normal job.

Once, when I was with Amrit, I got a call. It was my friend who warned me that the police is after me.
I told this to Amrit. It made me tensed. "We need to leave this place."
She agreed.

We ran to her place and went to bathroom to freshen up. While opening the door, I heard Amrit talking to someone on phone. To my surprise she revealed my identity and gave my information. I was broken. I came out and acted as if nothing happened.

Anger got on me and I screamed "who are you?!"
I repeated and told what I've heard. She had guilt all over her face.

"I'm an agent who was sent to catch you."
I wasn't ready to accept it.
Then, I realized that police had arrived.
"Tum surrender kardo, I promise tumhe phaansi nahi hogi."
"You already broke my trust once, now you want me to trust you again?!" Tears ran down.
I quickly thought of something. I took out my gun and kept it on my temple.
"Tehzaab...Don't do it. I love you!"
"No Amrit. You cheated me. I'm the one who needs to pay for it."
"I'm sorry for what happened.. don't leave me..."
"It's late. You need to let me go.. We can never be together."

The fear of getting caught was inside me. It was the only way which I could see.

I pressed the trigger and DRANK THE SWEET POISON..
