My lifeline drifted away from me in front my eyes. She was laying there lifeless, pale, in front of me but i couldn't do anything to save her.
Her last words to me were,"fight for me kookie, promise me you will. I wanted to live with you. I wished."
Its already been a month since she passed away. I couldn't sleep for days. The only thought lingering to me was her pale face. I couldn't do anything when she was being tricked in front of my eyes,slowly drifted to a sleep to never wake up.
"Kookie, will you confide yourself forever inside. You need to overcome." Monique shook me from my haze.
"Go away moni." I yelled at her.
She shook me harder this time," kookie. Listen to me. You need to. She was not dead. She was tricked to die. You need to revenge her death."
"Shut up Moniya. This revenge consumed her. She is no more in this world. Stop mocking her death." I shouted at her resentfully.
" damn it kook, you were avoiding my calls from past 10 days, you are not picking up sakshi's too. You skipped even,even finals. You even didn't go the hearing of the case. What do you want? Keep mourning for her death or you want to fight for justice, for her. Sakshi has to plead for a next date."
I looked at her, "she asked you only to do this. Cant you fulfil this last wish of her."
I cried and cried on her shoulders, until my heart felt light.
"Moniya, why she had to leave me like this." She hugged me tight,"you need to be strong kookie to fight those."
I asked her all of a sudden," how do you know she was tricked to death?"
"First you need to calm down to listen to me carefully and don't overreact on the situation else you will end up like her too." She warned me.
"I filed one more case of khushi's murder against both of them. I got a very important clue in this." She claimed. I listened to her carefully.

Sakshi messaged me the reports of the food that was given to mili on everyday basis. The person who delivered food for her accepted that he was bribed to add a substance which was identified as Arsenic in forensic report. He accepted that Mr.Raza was the one who gave him a huge sum of money against doing this petty thing for him.
Mr.Sahay's secretary helped us with the video footage that the day of his death, both his partners were present in the office and forced him to take those pills. She was been threatened that they will kill her husband and child if she opened her mouth. As she is leaving the country, with my help, she is not afraid anymore and came up clean.
"This court finds Mr.Anand and Mr.Raza guilty of conspiring against Mr.Faisal Sahay and taking the property which legally belonged to him as their owns and murdering him through drug overdose.They are also convicted to forge false statements to the court and misleading it. They are convicted of murdering Miss.Khushi Sahay through food poisoning. Mr.Anand is given a life imprisonment of 25 years or age 70 whichever comes first and Mr.Raza is given a death sentence. He will be hanged till death on 20 march'19." With this the judge broke his pen.
All the property which they forged from Sahay industries were given back to Anjali Sahay as the sole proprietor. In her will she made me her successor. It took me five years to get back at them with all my efforts, but in the end truth won.

I wished she would have been here to celebrate this occasion. I looked back one more time at her grave as the snow slowly covered the red rose.
I smiled at the thought of her, played her favourite song on loud while drifting through the valleys from Srinagar to Gulmarg. I made a halt at the stable and giving that old couple, the sweets, i went away for my JOURNEY TO PEACE, JUSTICE.
The HOUSE OF CARDS she gave me is now shattered, cards lying everywhere in my life. The void she left can not be fulfilled by anyone ever.
========THE END ========== =========================
Author's note...
Its been so long when i cant see you, Cant unsee, cant turn the time back to the moment when i first saw you... The innocent girl in the far right of my class, Its been so long that i crave for a moment.
Thought of confessing to myself countless times, That your are not my friend but my girlfriend... But fear of the dream getting broken, Never left my heart, the pain remained...
Whether you are here or not, But you reside in my heart, Even in my dreams, you just pay visits more often...
When the first snow of the season falls, I get your touch in the flakes falling on me... When the sunlight comes playfully annoying me in my sleep, I realize that you are blended in the sunlight playing with me...
Whenever there is an eerie silence, All i listen is your heartbeats, your breaths just torment me like a storm in a rainy night.
When the breeze flew you passed by, Slowly touching me, making me feel you are somewhere near...
I wish i could stopped you from leaving, If you want i can stop by your lips and remain as words unspoken...
Whether you are here or not, with me... You always and will reside in my heart... All i ever wanted to say is... Be in my heart...be in my heart... Like the HOUSE OF CARDS...
