A/N: Read at your own risk. I seriously don't know how their conversation ended up. I just went with the flow. I hope you like it! There are some cliché scenes.

Six months was a lot of time but no one knew how fast it went. People were completely engrossed in their works and Maya too, was halfway through her new book.
" Bepannah"
There were so many emotions floating in the air along with their inner battles and outer exposures. With many factors floating by, marriage was on the cards but their insecurities were never spoken.
Till now, Maya and Rudra had a beautiful progress from co-publishers to friends and then to a promotion of girlfriend and boyfriend. Maya had committed her next book to Rudra and the promo was already out.
They created a beautiful bond within its own pace in the last few months. Slowburn indeed! Those slowburn moments indeed transformed them according to Ananya. Ananya had indeed revealed that Nithin was her partner in crime. Rudra felt cheated but tit-for-tat had no other meaning.
Everything was done except their confrontation. Not even once was the topic brought by either of them. But it was to come to an end! That too today!
Today was Rishi's first death anniversary. Everyone decided to feed the poor and they were doing it mutually. Clad in white churidars, shirts and sarees, everyone looked happy being able to remember him in a good way.
Not to mention, Ananya had conceived and was two months pregnant. Maya's happiness knew no bounds when she had heard this as she knew the moment of happiness when a woman turns into a mother. Since Rudra had accompanied her for her first ultrasound since Ananya and Nithin had insisted, he knew what Maya would have felt! He knew the magic a would be mother would feel.
It had been two days since they had spoke because both of them were disturbed! They were happy for Ananya but something was wrong for them! She had a good company with Ananya even though she wasn't completely attached to her due to the differences they had. There were days when the fight landed to more than a few days and Maya had considered resigning from RuAn as co-publisher but her mind needed a foothold and she wouldn't want to leave it either.
As they had finished feeding everyone, Maya kept the dish bowl on the table and fed herself a morsel of food she had offered for Rishi before leaving without anyone's notice. Her eyes had a film of tears and the scar on her wrist was an evidence but she knew she had to live! As Maya entered her car, Rudra saw her leaving before serving a few others.
...
She knew where she was going even though her eyes were blurry. She would never get out of that guilt even though it would reduce to a great extent. With so many things hurdled up, she drove the car unsteadily before it stopped ruthlessly.
She would agree that her driving was rash. Calming down her breaths and switching the radio on, she let herself immerse in a few lyrics till she reached her building. Climbing the stairs, she reached the apex where she had been shot. The place where a life was lost and two lives were entwined. She knew that their marriage would happen yet so many insecurities weaved a Web where she landed perfectly, suffocating her.
The sun had set and now only a few layers of dark orangish, brown, yellow hues filled the sky before it submitted itself to the blue horizon. Holding onto the edge, she recalled everything that had happened at that day, the day where Rishi was murdered and their journey thereafter. A few images of her being tortured and her baby also came into her mind making her right hand place itself on her abdomen.
