Soulmate

Epilogue

I want all of you to comment at least one line as this is the last part of the story....

Continued

Anubhav was driving as fast as he could..... The sound of that gunshot was still echoing in his ears.... After that Haseena's phone was switched off.... Agasthya was calling continuously but Anubhav didn't receive the call..... 

Soon Anubhav reached at the place where Haseena's phone was last active.... It was a small yet elegant house from the exterior..... The door was wide open.... A bad sign already..... 

As soon as Anubhav stepped in he saw two dead bodies of those two men dressed in civil clothes..... 

He ignored them both and stepped inside a room.... Only to find blood flowing freely on the floor..... He moved ahead and saw that 4 more men and 3 women were lying dead, and the blood was coming out of their bodies...... The bodies were in such a manner that they were facing the ground..... He crouched and turned all three of the women..... None of them was Haseena..... 

Dread coursed through Anubhav as he got up..... His feet move on their own, through all the bodies, all the germs, while his eyes seek dark brown ones.....

She's fine....

Only now did he feel that it was nothing but a lie....

A sweat breaks at his nape, the room begins to shrink......

She's not fine....

Exhaustion blurs his vision, and fatigue worsens his sanity.....

It a physically pain.... A psychological turmoil.....

She's not here....

Anubhav stumbled to the nearest table and put his shaking hands atop the table which was nothing but a mess.... It's all too much..... The blood, the dead bodies, the regret of being late..... 

She's not here....

The panic..... The reality of his loneliness in this crowded world suddenly crashed upon him..... Anubhav's eyes closed shut and with each heavy breath, he was losing more of himself to the mania.....

She's not here-

It takes a single sob, slow and in the far distance for it all to shrink in comparison.....

In an instant everything fades.... Anubhav swiftly moves in the direction of sob only to find it coming from a the only room which was still left to be checked..... 

 Anubhav opened the door only to see his love standing in front of him.... Tears were rolling down from her eyes and sweat was covering her whole face, her hairs too were drenched in sweat.... She was a mess.... 

Anubhav checked her from top to bottom to look for any injury but when he saw her big belly he was shocked, surprised, happy, sad, confused and what not.... But he decided to keep all his emotions at side.... Even if she was pregnant with someone else's child, she needs him at the moment, and he will not step back..... Never Ever..... 

Haseena hugged Anubhav started crying.... No, she rather started wailing..... Anubhav rubbed her back and spoke soothing words in her ear....

A voice spoke from behind.....

Voice: Itni mushkil se shaant hui thi aur tune phir rula diya

Haseena shook her head in negation..... 

Anubhav: Agasthya..... Aap???

Agasthya: Later...

Saying this he started moving.... Haseena too broke the hug.... She was still holding Anubhav's hand....
