OACOC: season 2: SEPARATED by LOVE – A DevAkshi facfiction episode 26

Life was beginning to be tough for both Dev and Sona. Destiny has brought them together again.But will the two get united in real?? Life plays cruel jokes. One needs to strive hard to change one’s destiny.. Though everything in the world is preplanned, yet destiny can’t be trusted.. If it could be trusted than probably no one would work harder anymore. People would just go along with the flow.

Dev is seen walking through the dark corriders of his office building towards a door. It was written in bolted words: ‘RESTRICTED AREA’ .

The room was locked with a century old lock, rusted and dusty, segregated from the rest of the building. He walks deeper in the room and walks into another room, he lights a candle, and walks towards a bookshelf, and pulled a book out of it. It was a SECRET PASSAGE. He gets into it..and shuts the door, cautiously looking around if anyone had been following him.

************************************

As the first ray of sunlight enters into her hotel room and falls upon her beautiful face, Sona gets disturbed from her sleep. She frowms at the sunlight and turns the other side. But what to do, the universe was jealous of her, hence made sure to pull time until her alarm rang loud. Sona jumped out and picked her phone to dismiss the alarm.. But no!! It was not her phone alarm! She looks outside the window and gasped!!

“Soha!! Soha!!” She hurriedly packs her belongings.. And puts up a rough bun.. She carries Soha and rushes out.

The smoke had covered the entire hallway. She runs towards the lift… but it was already overcrowded. She decides to take the stairs.. And rushes towards the stairs, but alas! It was already burning.

She recollects all her childhood events.. And gets petrified. She sees some people opening fire at the crowd and realizes, it was them who created the chaos.. She hides behind a shelf holding on her breath, as the masked men, look all around with his blood red eyes…

She just prayed for this to end, and pressed over her mouth, trying not to distract them in any away.

A man, probably their leader ,screams: “look for her!! She is in here somewhere!! I want her alive!!”

All the men spread around looking for “her”. Sonakshi peeped through the spaces between the books in the shelf. Her eyes showed clear signs of fear..She began to sweat.

As the men moved away.. She sighed and walked out cautiously towards a room and locked herself in there.

It was a dark basement sort of room. She reminiscies her times spent with Dev.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Sona is seen working on her laptop typing out a diet chart. Dev is seen sitting opposite doing his presentation. Both with coffee mugs in their hands and reading glasses on…

Sona was smiling.. Dev notices her and question her through his eyes… She nods back nothing and smiles even harder..

She was smiling thinking about her time spent with Dev that day on the roof top of their office building, she knew what had happened but she had let herself into it..

Dev comes to sit beside her. He wanted to see what was so funny that made her laugh.

He keeps on bugging Sona about it.. He thought that May be something was wrong with him and checks the mirror a hundred times..

“Please, Sonakshi!!”

“Sonakshi??” Sona asks raising her eyebrows.

“Sona, tell me… Please.. I want to know..otherwise–”

Sonakshi too stands up against his tall figure,crossing her hands, she questions.. “Otherwise what??”

When suddenly the power supply gets cut, it brought darkness all around.. Dev steps one step closer..

Sona moves a step backwards.. Dev walks towards her.. And holding her arms, he whispers softly,

“ I saw a coackro–”

The word “cock–” it self made Sona jump into Dev..

“Where??” She asked her eyes as big as ever..  

Dev laughs saying..

“It was right behind you..  And now it is in –” he slowly brings his hands up towards her face.. She looks petrified.. And jerks his hands away..

“Dev! Please.. I hate Cock–”

“Hate??”

“Fine.. I am scared–”

Dev smiles at her cutely and puts her down. He bends down and picks something from the ground…

“What are you doing???”

“Come here”

He takes Sona to his moonlit verandah. And pulls out a mirror. He asks her to hold it, and then he places a beautiful rose in her hairs.

“You loved them right??”

“How do you know??”

“Just like how you know when I need what.”

Sona hugs Dev tight..and cries..

The thought of leaving him after 6 months made her sad. She was determined to make him love her.. By then..

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Her thoughts were disturbed by the sounds of heavy panting. Sona was scared to death.

‘Who is in here?’ She thought. She tried to look through the binders.. And she looked in shock.. Dev!!

Wounded, bleeding.. He lay there cold in the ground. Sona opened the torch of her phone and looked around the room. She found tissue roll.. A bottle of water.. And some clothes, probably used during a function. She starts to aid to his wounds, she had always carried a first aid box handy in her backpack.

Dev looked at her meekly..

“Miss.. Miss Sak–”

“Sakshi..you remember??” Sona asks surprised.

“Why won’t I?? Sona..–”

Sona looks on wondering if Dev had recognized her… but then notices him closes him eyes..

She tries to wake him up.But in vain.. It was as though he was dying smiling happily.

“Dev!! Please wake up!! It’s me Sona!! See.. you have a daughter” she points towards Soha..but Dev had his eyes closed, his breaths decreased slowly.

“Sona!!” he says faintly.. “I– I –Love..”

He was panting.. He opened his mouth to take in more air.. He was suffocating..

“Dev!!” Sona cried bitterly.

Meanwhile, she hears a loud thud on the door.

It was those men. They had heard the voices inside.

“Who is in there??” they bang.. Sona was terrified… she did not know what to do.. Where to go.. She could not leave Dev… But neither can she let Soha die before living life.. She was in a dilemma..

The men get furious and opens fire at the door. Sona drags Dev underneath the bed.. She then puts boxes to cover him and hides herself and Sona behind a shelf in the closet.

The men pushes the door open.. And looks all around the room, carefully.

“They were here.. Sir!!” says one of them..

Sona is seen hiding herself curling up behind the closet.. Soha let’s out a cry, drawing the mens’ attention towards the sound.. Sona pressed on her mouth, to prevent the sound from escaping outside.
