Will You Be Mine

Chapter-21

Vikram's POV:

Midhuna, baby calm down, please, I said wrapping my hands around her.

"How could you do this Vikram, How could you"she yelled hitting me hard on my chest.

" Midhuna, I did what? First calm down and explain me things please,"I fired back holding her firmly and making her face me.

"You are a murderer, you killed them, you killed him"she said between her sobs.

" Who? "I asked with a puzzled expression.

"Alok"She said and I was dumbstruck after listening his name from her mouth.

" How did you know him?"I asked lifting her chin up and staring into her eyes.

"First you answer my question Mr. Vikram Ahuja, why you killed him? Why?... She growled pushing me away.

Her eyes were bloodshot. I never saw her like this, not even when I forced her to marry me. But now why is she fuming in anger.

"Midhuna, I will explain you everything baby, but please calm down first" I said caressing her hand.

"Don't touch me Vikram," she yelled pushing my hand away.

"Okay, okay, calm down.I will bring you something to drink" I said and walked towards the kitchen.

I don't know where our story is heading, we lost all our hopes of finding that culprit when yesterday  police said that Raghu escaped from their clutches.

He is the prime evidence we had in their case but yesterday while taking him to produce in court few of Mr. A's man attacked the police van and he escaped .

I filled a glass full of orange juice and went back to her.

"I don't want anything, let's come to the point" She said.

"Shut up and drink this or else I don't say anything and I mean it. " I replied taking the glass near her mouth.

She drank the juice silently passing daggers to me.

"Come with me,"I said holding her hand and taking her back to that room where she questioned me.

"He is Vamsi and She is Sneha"I said pointing to their photographs in the wall.

"They are my best friends, my life lines," I said taking their photograph into my hand.

"I asked you about Alok, not your life story" She snapped.

"Okay fine if you disturb me like this then I am not going to say anything, if you want to know about Alok then shut your mouth and listen" I reverted back.

She stood there silently without uttering a word. Taking it as a sign I continued my story.

We three are neighbors and childhood friends.Sneha is few months younger than us so we pamper and love her a lot.

We studied in same school, same college and finally we got our dream jobs and ready to kick start our career.

That day few days before Sneha's birthday we all planned to go for a trip to Araku.

Sneha and Vamsi went to book the tickets. But that night it started raining profusely and their phones got switched off.

We tried to reach them. We were so tensed. Each passing hour passing shivers to our spine.

Then when it's almost morning I got a call from police stating that they both met with an accident and was spot dead. I said with a lone tear escaping my right eye.

I looked at her and she is intensely staring into my eyes.

I walked near her, hold her hand and continued saying by looking straight into her eyes.

I lost them Midhuna, I lost my best friends, who promised to stay with me forever.How could they broke their promise,how could they....,I cried lowering my head and she pulled me into a hug.

This is for the  first time she initiated a hug and I love it because it's the much needed one for me.

She started patting my back to calm down my inner stroms.My tears touched her bare shoulder and she pulled me more close to her.

I gained some strength and continued narrating the past.

Then  few days after their death, I got a call from a random guy stating that my friends death is not a natural one but a murder. Sneha and Vamsi, they are the sweetest persons in the world.

Who can have the reason to kill them? After digesting the truth he said, we both decided to meet him.

But we lost him too Midhuna. He was killed too. His death was similar to my friend's death.

Even he was found dead in the area so close to my friend's death spot.

We lost all opportunities to find out the truth.

We don't know who and why killed my friend's. Why all this happened in our lives at the most happiest phase of our life.

After fighting with our emotional trauma ,I and Arun bhai decided to find the truth.

We started searching for clues and then one thing caught our attention.

On the day of my friend's death they travelled in a different bike and it's owner is none other than Alok.

Did using Alok's bike took away my friend's life?  Is it the truth. But why? What Alok did. Why they killed my friends for using Alok's Bike."

"We still don't know the answers for this questions Midhuna. We are fighting from one long year to do justice for their innocent souls"

"In this journey we only know a name
Mr. A. Apart from this we don't know anything. "

"Whatever the reason behind theirs deaths. I lost them Midhu, I lost them, "I yelled hugging her tightly and letting out
the pain which I hold  back from past few months.

"But how did Arun related to them? Why you turned out to a ganster?"she asked breaking the hug and cupping my cheeks.

"Vamsi is Arun bhai's brother and Sneha is engaged to Arun bhai. They love each other Midhu.We still can't get over the pain of loosing them. "

"And me becoming a ganster. It's a different story."I concluded wiping my tears off.

"So you are searching for Mr.... A?"She asked in a choked tone.

"Yes, on our journey to find the truth we found out few vehicles which followed Vami's bike that day. And by tracing them we reached to few men.

"Through them we found out that Mr. A given them a contract to kill my friends and Alok. "

"Now stop questioning me more and answer to my question. How did you know Alok. Do you know anything related to his death? "I asked holding her by her shoulders.

"Yes," she said averting eye contact.

"Then tell me Midhuna, please help me,"
I pleaded shaking her shoulders.

"I will but I need some time Vikram, I need to gather some strength",she said and left to our room.

I followed her silently. She collapsed on the bed and started crying vulnerably.

Oh god,why her pain reflecting mine. Did Alok so close to her? that's why she is hurting so deep.
