Sayi gained consciousness, looked and found herself tied around with a rope and a bomb tied around her waist on a roof of some old looking half constructed building!
Karishma and Pakhi were standing right in front of her as if they were waiting for her to wake up.
“You left me with no other option Sayi. Virat kept going back to you, despite all the attempts I did! I never wanted to dirty my hands with someone’s blood, but you forced me into this!” Pakhi said coming towards her and holding her chin!
“I, Sayi Joshi, daughter of Late Kamal Joshi don’t fear death, but just to make it clear to you, I would never have come in between you two. Our marriage was just a deal, we were supposed to end ties when I started to earn, and even the destiny wanted the same by separating us!”
“You really would never have entered his life again?”
“Never!”
“Even if you resisted, he is ready to go all out to have you back in his life! He would have cinviced you anyways and I would be alone again!”
On the other hand, Virat, Mohit and Rishika were looking for Sayi, Pakhi and Karishma, asking the people around if they had seen them.
Virat called Sunny and asked to trace Pakhi’s phone. Sunny, in no time sent him the location! On, follwing the directions, they reached the old abandoned building and on reaching the roof, found Sayi tied around with a bomb around her waist and her mouth taped, with Pakhi and Karishma around her
“Diii” Rishika screamed gaining the attention of the two.
“I never thought you would find her this quick” Pakhi said coming close to Virat
Meanwhile Mohit called the Army base asking to send people from the bomb diffusing squad as soon as possible.
“I never saw you this worried for me!” Pakhi questioned Virat “She kept pushing you away and the more she pushed you, the closer you got to her! I was your first love, you promised to never let any other girl besides me enter your heart, then what is Sayi doing there? Why is she in your heart? When did she replace me?”
Virat jerked her hand from his making her fall.
“How did you get that bomb?” Mohit questioned Karishma
“You see, money holds a lot of power” Karishma replied
Rishika tried to get to Sayi, but, Mohit pushed her back!
Virat helplessly kept looking at Sayi, Pakhi fumed in jealously looking at them!
“Let’s go Karishma, if they want to die with her, let them die!” Pakhi said removing the tape from Sayi’s mouth hurting her.
Mohit came after dropping Rishika outside to a safer place. He got hold of Karishma and Pakhi “Where are you two going? Diffuse that bomb or the consequences won’t be good”
“We only learnt to infuse it!” Pakhi said casually.
Virat walked towards Sayi “I never thought we’d end up here” he said running his fingers through her hair.
“I think this is it……. the end of our journey.”
He cupped her face “No! We still have a long way to go” tars rolled down from his eyes, and dropped to Sayi’s hand tracing his cheeks.
“I would want to be your first love in the next birth, and would want us to be together for a longer time” she said holding his hands which were still on her face.
“We will be together forever even in this lifetime!”
She looks down to her waist “I only have 5 minutes left with me, go…please go far away from here….for my sake, please go!”
“I won’t! You still haven’t answered a single question”
“I guess they will remain unanswered! Mohit dada, please tie them along with me, I don’t feel like dying alone!”
“You won’t die Vahini, the diffusing squad will be here any minute!”
“Mohit dada, it will explode in 2 minutes, just tie them both here and leave with Virat sir. Please think practically!”
“Mohit please no!” Karishma pleaded
Mohit looked around for a rope and tied them both near Sayi.
Virat wasn’t ready to let go of Sayi, but Mohit pulled Virat towards him with great difficulty!
The bomb blasted the moment they reached halfway down the building.
“Sayiiiiiiiii”
Virat rushed back up pushing away Mohit.
Samrat came with his team and met Rishika down, who narrated the whole incident
“Samrat bhaiya, the bomb just blasted, I’m really worried about di”
“Don’t worry, I believe nothing would have happened to her”
They climbed the stairs and found Mohit struggling to pull Virat, who kept calling Sayi, preventing from going on the roof. He ordered his men to go to the roof
“Virat!”
“Samrat/dada?” Mohit and Virat said in unison
“You were alive?” Mohit asked shocked!
“Where is Sayi?” Samrat ignored Mohit’s question
“Sayiii….Sayi…. I need to go to Sayi” Virat kept repeating
“She…she….she…” Mohit kept stuttering
“What is it Mohit?”
“She is no more!”
“Who did this?” Samrat yelled, his eyes red as blood and his fists were closed tightly!
“Ka…Ka…Karishma and P…Pakhi bhabhi”
“Where are they?”
“Vahini asked me to tie them with her!”
The army officials brought the dead bodies in a stretcher, covering them with a white cloth!
Mohit and Virat followed Samrat and his team down.
Rishika broke into tears on seeing them bring the bodies. Samaira rushed to her side and held her as she was about to fall. Virat fainted the moment they reached down, with Mohit’s help, Samrat took him to the hospital.
The doctor gave him glucose through the IV drip “He fainted because of the shock. His blood pressure is still unstable! Though there is nothing serious, he will gain consciousness in some time.”
Samaira was with Rishika, who had slept after crying Samrat came to them “The post mortem report will come tomorrow, I will arrange for the final rights, tell her when she wakes up, I need to report the incident to the base as the bomb used belonged to the army, they will investigate it!” Samaira assured him nodding.
Mohit came to Samaira “Where is Samrat dada?”
“He just left for the base. I’m sorry, but I didn’t recognize you.”
“I’m Mohit Chavan, his cousin!”
Rishika moved a little due to the voices, Samaira asked him to stay quiet, indicating towards the sleeping Rishika. Mohit nodded and went away to Virat’s room.
Virat gained consciousness at night
“sayi….sayi…..sayi” he kept calling her name in a faint voice.
Rishika had a panic attack and the doctor had to put her to sleep after giving an injection. Samaira never left her side for a single second.
Samrat came back bringing her medicines and gave them to Samaira, he looked towards Rishika with helpless and pitiful eyes, a few drops of tears formed and rolled down his cheeks, Samaira held his hand in order to comfort him!
“She will be okay, the doctor said she will gain consciousness within few hours, then we will take her to live with us”
“My cousins are here! I have no courage to face them”
“You would have to face them some day”
“But, I was not expecting to meet them like this, in such situation!”
“This is all destiny, your will won’t work in front of it. Go, meet them, remember, you have my back come what may, I’ll be always there for you, with you in every decision you make!”
He kissed her forehead and went to Virat’s room. Virat had gained consciousness and his eyes were red and puffy after crying.
Both the brothers were looking at him as they had seen a ghost
“How are you Virat?” He asked going closer to them!
“Feeling better”
“I know you have several questions, I’m ready to answer them all, so shoot!”
“Where were you? Why didn’t you come back home if you were alive?”
“I got to know about yours and Pakhi’s affair, I cancelled my leave and took a posting to Siachin, and avalanche drove me to the other side, where they kept me in some underground prison for 4 years, after that I managed to escape and finding no reason to go back home, decided to come here asking Mr. Sood to not tell about me being alive. You guys never searched for me after I came back and I got transferred here!”
Who is that lady who came with you and that girl? How did you meet vahini?” Mohit asked next
“You guys really investigate like a police officer! Samaira is my wife, Rishika is mine and Sayi’s adopted younger sister! After escaping, they gave me a counselor, we fell in love and got married after Sayi gave the news of Virat’s marriage with Patralekha. I wanted to divorce Patralekha the next day to our marriage and regretted for not doing so the whole while in prison. Since, Virat married her, I found no reason to further delay my marriage with Samaira. I met Sayi at the time of a crisis. Not long ago, an accident occurred in the valley, I was responsible for bringing the survivors and she was treating them. It took me an instant to bond with her, she was a girl who was full of life and positivity. I think I have cleared your doubts and if not, we will talk about it tomorrow, I have to arrange for the final rites, now you should rest, see you both tomorrow! And please don’t tell anyone about this at home! I will meet them when time comes”
“But….”
Samrat turned back “You finally realized your mistake but what’s the use? She has gone far away from you, to a place from where it is impossible for her to come back.”
Samrat left before Mohit could speak further, Virat had lowered his face feeling embarrassed to face the reality. He realized what he had lost because of the sin he had committed due to his ego! He let his ego overpower his love for Sayi! Mohit understood his state and left the room to give Virat some space. Virat cried his heart out in that room all alone, thinking about all his memories with Sayi, he had kept safely in the biggest part of his head!
I’m sorry to all who were wishing for a happy ending and Sairat to be together. I had this planned even before I began writing this story!
Destiny doesn’t always favor happy endings, and, I guess that is why tragedy is a genre, to make us realize that separation/death is also a stage of love!
To be honest, I wrote this one out of frustration! I watched a Korean Drama and the ending really annoyed me, so I randomly wrote a short tragic story in less than 4 paragraphs with those characters, and that is how I decided to use that summary to write a fan-fiction. I did required amendments and decided the basic story-line for each chapter.
I will give my other story a happy ending, that’s a promise.
Thank you for the support you all are giving me! I will reply as soon as possible.
P.S. I still have a few chapters to write before I end it.
