CHAPTER 60
Mrityunjay and Mayil are targeting their target for fire; they both concentrate, quickly start shooting, stop after completing firing the bullet, then look forward. Like always, Mrityunjay is 10 on 10. Mrityunjay comes forward and looks at Mayil's target 10 on 10 too. He smiles amazingly and says everything.
But Mayil is very disturbed; 10 out of 10 have hit the right target, and for the last 15 days, she has consistently hit her target exactly right. Her material art technique has also improved a lot. She can drop out 10–15 people at a time with great ease. She secured good grades in her academics, but nothing makes her happy. In fact, she has started to feel that she is becoming more and more depressed with every passing day.
Mayil's eyes now keep looking only at Mrityunjay. He has never tried to talk much since he came from Switzerland, as he is very sure that after meeting her mother, she will definitely leave. Perhaps he, too, had become more conscious after the last encounter. He never comes close to her unnecessarily. But this is what is bothering her the most. His arms no longer invite her into a warm embrace in which she often intentionally moves to feel his manly fragrance, which is always giving her goosebumps, and she feels herself in heaven when she wants to rest well in those arms. He distances himself, but why? She doesn't know the reason. He never touched her unnecessarily, but he took care of her while swimming, made her feel safe around him every moment, and was very protective whenever they went out somewhere. He used to hold her shoulders tightly and try to keep her close to him. She has started missing all this a lot.
She is in a strange kind of struggle where, on the one hand, she sees herself going towards Mrityunjay unknowingly, and on the other, her mind is forcing her to go only to her parents. But the truth is that she is very confused about her life now, and this fight is bothering her a lot. She finds herself very crazy.
Mrityunjay starts talking on his phone as soon as his session is over with her, and his back is towards Mayil. Every day, Mayil used to hide two to three bullets after finding some chance to steal them, and she is doing the same even today. She is so determined that she must go to her parents once, but she wants to meet Mrityunjay again. Why? There is no answer to this question. Like a common person, she also wants to see her life happy, maybe far away from him. She is not sure about anything. She doesn't know if she is thinking the right thing. Will she be able to do all this or not? But she definitely knows that she has to do all this in any case.
Ayaan has gone to India because the plan he made is completely ruined. Sweta is not agreeing to come to London under any circumstances. In this way, he has to meet Mohan. Mrityunjay did not meet Mohan at all, as he did not expect at all that Sweta would not come there even after getting such a beneficial offer. Ayaan handled everything. Mrityunjay is very upset about this thing; he wants to reunite Mayil with her mother in any case. But he is very disappointed because of what happened here, which is totally opposite of what he planned.
Mayil is ready for a lot of things. If she doesn't have one thing, it's her passport. She doesn't know how she will get her passport from Mrityunjay. But she definitely knows that today she will have to get out of here somehow because Ayaan is not with Mrityunjay. And this is the best chance to escape from here.
Ayaan is a very big shield for Mrityunjay. Just like a strategy is needed to do anything, in the same way, that strategy always starts with Ayaan, so she wants that if Ayaan stays away from Mrityunjay, then she will proceed with her plan, and there is an 80% chance that she can be successful without any hindrance in doing it.
She quickly leaves, and Mrityunjay looks at her while talking on the phone.
"Sir actually Sweta Kaushik says that Jagdish Kaushik had a heart attack about a year ago, due to which his condition has not been well at all since then. So she doesn't want to leave him alone at all. Sir, now we have to change our plan because I have used all kinds of strategies. But Shweta Kaushik does not want to come to London under any circumstances. In such a situation, we have to bring Ma'am to India on some pretext and free her to meet her mother."
" Fine… We will do this, but I want her to meet her mother in any case."
"Sure, sir, I am coming back tomorrow morning. I am at the airport and will soon board the plane."
"Come soon..."
Mayil has run away to the washroom, where she has kept all her bullets hidden. But the problem with her is that she doesn't have a gun. It is not allowed for her to keep a gun with her, and she does not understand at all how she will use so many bullets when she does not have a gun with her, but today she has to get out in some way or another.
"I want a gun anyhow; should I snatch it from someone? In any case, I have to do everything today, and I have to do all this because maybe this is my last chance. You can do it, Mahi... Mom and Dad are waiting for you... Come on, be confident... Do it quickly."
The struggle going on in her heart and mind has put her in a strange situation; she keeps the bullet in her pocket securely. She is unable to get herself out of this situation. She is moving quickly around the bathroom because a strange anxiety has engulfed her. She is neither able to sleep properly nor is she able to muster enough courage to do anything.
"Why am I so uneasy?"
There is a loud knock that distracts her attention from these thoughts. She looks at the door, and a maid who comes inside looks at her and informs her.
"Sir is waiting for you for dinner."
She immediately looks at the clock. She has been so engrossed in these thoughts in her room since the evening that she has no idea of the time. It's 9:00, she has dinner with Mrityunjay every day at 8:00, and today she hasn't gone downstairs, so he has sent a maid to call her downstairs.
She quickly comes and sits next to him. He looks at her with so much attention and quickly asks:.
"Are you okay?"
"Yup, actually, I forgot the time, and I am not hungry much, so I am planning for my next lessons."
"Fine. Let's eat now."
The maid starts serving food to both of them. As always, even today, Mayil's eyes are on Mrityunjay's plate. Mrityunjay has always eaten what she eats with her since she came here. In these one and a half years, Mayil's health has not deteriorated as much as it has in the past. She is noticing a lot of things very well about how Mrityunjay always takes care of her. Her heart starts beating fast.
Just concentrate on your plan.
She starts while looking everywhere at a guard who is always around her, standing beside her like always; his hands are interlocked on the back with each other, and he is looking straight ahead. His gun penetrates the holder neatly; she is totally concentrating on that gun. She looks at Mrityunjay and then at the gun. He is lost in something and eating food. She is determined today; anyhow, she will do whatever she plans.
She quickly attacks and snatches the gun from the man, who stands close to get in a blink. Bullets are already hidden in her pocket, and now that the gun is in her hand, her plan is already half complete after snatching the gun.
Mrityunjay immediately gets upset seeing her with a gun. He comes forward to pursue her, but she points the gun towards him, holds the gun well, and tells him.
"Jay, stay still."
"Mahi, put the gun down."
"I want to go."
Mritunjay understands her situation very well, and that's why he is trying to do everything as soon as possible. But luck is not supporting him, and he is not able to do what he wants to do, which puts Mayil in trouble.
"Definitely, we will... Just listen to me."
"No, I just... just want to go... Meet my parents."
Mrityunjay is constantly moving toward her, as he does not want Mayil to do any harm to herself in her haste,as he has already realized she is very nervous.
"Mahi… "
"I want to meet my parents."
"I promise you..."
Mritunjay is trying to convince her, and before he can get his point clear to her, Mayil points the gun at herself, as she has absolutely no idea what to do. She is unable to act wisely and run from there, even if she wants to. She feels that if Mrityunjay is in front of her, she will not be able to do anything in front of him.
"Let me go."
Mrityunjay felt as if someone had suddenly tried to hold his breath by strangling him. He is just looking at the gun, and it seems to him that Mayil is not in herself at all. She can go to any extent to get herself out of here. He says it angrily, looking into her eyes.
"Don't you dare to harm yourself."
She is not scared at all, but the way Mrityunjay's eyes are looking at her, she feels that she should just throw the gun immediately, but she does not want to do so. Mrityunjay looked at her deeply in her eyes and said,
"Shoot straight in my heart, and I promise you nobody will stop you. But don't hurt yourself."
Her breath hitched midway. Mrityunjay started moving slowly towards her and said,.
"Shoot me, Mahi."
She is only looking at him as her feet move backward, and the wind has already blown all of her plans away after listening to him.
"Mahi shot me."
"Let me go."
"You are free if you kill me."
No one is doing anything over there because Mrityunjay has signaled everyone to leave, and no one can even point a finger at Mayil without Mrityunjay's orders.
She is a trained shooter. She can shoot anyone, but today her hands are trembling badly. She points to his feet and fires, but he doesn't stop and moves forward.
"Shot in my heart, I will not move away... If you kill me, you will be free forever."
Mayil does not understand anything, and Mrityunjay is coming closer to her. The closer he comes to her, the more her courage is leaving her side because she feels that she cannot harm him in any way. So she again puts the gun on her head and shouts it out loud.
"Leave me. Let me go."
But as soon as Mrityunjay sees that Mayil has pointed the gun at her head again, he immediately approaches her in anger, holds her gun and puts it on his chest, and holding her hand, he starts pressing the trigger. She looks at him with tear-filled eyes filled with panicked gunshot echoes in the environment.
