Chapter 10
When they reached Kavin's home, Shreya ran to a room without a word to Kavin. He followed her in order to apologize but she slammed the door in his face. Kavin felt really guilty for his own behaviour. He really loved her from the bottom of his heart. He had never felt so strongly for anyone other than Shreya. Perhaps just one girl. He banged his fist angrily on the table as the memories flooded back to him.
He remembered that evening quite clearly. 'I am in love with someone else Kavin. So just leave me alone' she said.
'How can you do that to me? Don't you think it's unfair?' demanded Kavin.
'You very well know the reasons Kavin. It's not my fault. I haven't being unfaithful to you. This has happened just because of you!' she said in an accusing voice.
'Get lost then with your lover! Don't ever show me your ugly face!' Kavin yelled.
'What kind of a person are you? And who wishes to see your face? You know what I am happy that we broke up.' she said and left him standing alone. Kavin brushed aside those thoughts. They tormented him. Now Shreya was his life. He wanted her desperately. He had suddenly grown extra possessive about her. It was like an obsession. But this silly girl was not ready to listen. And all because of that man. Kavin clenched his teeth in anger.
'I will not let that man ruin my life anymore. Shreya will be mine' he growled.
O-o-o-o
The next day Shreya didn't come out of her room. Kavin tried to talk to her. He apologized to her but Shreya paid no heed. Dejected, Kavin decided to leave her alone.
Shreya was wondering how to make Daya believe her when something caught her eye. It was personal diary
Shreya took it was surprised. She wasn't expecting Kavin to write a diary. To her astonishment, he had poured in his thoughts with date wise entries. Shreya decided to read it.
O-o-o-o
Next few days were the worst for Shreya. Kavin would constantly keep a watch on her and followed her almost everywhere she went.
Daya was ignoring her completely which made matters even complicated. She had to act fast. She had to show Kavin's real face to him. He was being so cruel. She hated him. She felt equally sad that she had lost her best friend forever.
O-o-o-o
One late evening, Shreya was arranging her case papers in the bureau when her cell phone rang. Rachel was calling her.
'Hey sweetheart how is it going?' asked Rachel.
'Bad. I hate my life' said Shreya.
'Don't worry we'll find some way out' said Rachel.
'You had any luck? Please say yes' said Shreya.
'Shreya I am sorry. But that guy is not ready to listen. I tried to make Daya see sense. But he is adamant. He is - ' Rachel was saying.
'- It's okay... I will talk to you later' said Shreya hurriedly and hung up.
Shreya had seen Daya walking towards his car. He was alone and Kavin too wasn't in sight.
She couldn't miss the perfect opportunity.
She ran down the stairs taking two at a time.
She saw Daya walking across her towards his car.
'Daya!' she called out.
She hoped Kavin wouldn't hear her.
Daya paid no attention. Apparently he didn't hear her or maybe he did ot on purpose.
She called out again but he continued walking.
'What the hell?' she thought filling with anger.
Daya looked to his right and saw Shreya.
'Wait!' she called.
But she saw Daya shake his head, turn around and walk out of the gate.
'Daya please stop!' Shreya cried and began running.
She saw Daya car. He was almost there. Any moment he would get in and speed away.
'It was over' thought Shreya.
The cool, evening air stung her face, causing her eyes to water. Tears threatened to fall with every step she took.
But suddenly she tripped, the toe of her shoe hitting a rock, causing her to stumble and fall. She fell on the ground and landed on the palms of her hands. She winced and a sharp cry escaped her lips. Blood oozed out of the deep gash on her arm and was beginning to seep into the tiny pieces of gravel stuck in the delicate, freshly torn skin.
'Shreya!' said Daya and ran to her side.
'Are you okay?' he asked.
'No I am not!' said Shreya angrily.
'Let me see' said Daya softly.
He took her wrists in his hands.
Shreya was watching him with tender expression.
'You are hurt! What were you trying to do?' Daya enquired.
'You are asking me?' asked Shreya her eyes flashing angrily.
'Let's go to my car. I will clean the wound' said Daya.
'To hell with it! You've got to listen to me. For one last time. Daya I love you. I have always loved you. I was never with Kavin. You can't do this to me. Give me one last chance to explain. After that if you think you don't want to be with me then I'll walk out of your life forever. I'll never bother you again. I want to tell you something very important. It's about us. Please Daya.' said Shreya.
'Sorry for being so rude to you. But that day when I walked on you both kissing, you don't know how angry I was. It - it bothered me - a lot' confessed Daya.
'So will you hear me out?' asked Shreya.
'Let's clean your wound. Then we can talk' said Daya.
'No! We don't have time. Kavin will be hear any moment' said Shreya trying to stand up.
'Oww!' she howled in pain.
'What happened?' asked Daya.
'I think I twisted my ankle too' said Shreya.
Daya put his arm around Shreya's waist helping her walk back to his car. She limped slightly.
Once they reached the car, Shreya fumbled into her bag and withdrew Kavin's personal diary.
'What's this?' asked Daya.
'Kavin -' began Shreya but suddenly a cold angry voice called her.
Kavin stood in front of them with his hands in his pockets.
'You - what are you doing here?' Shreya stammered.
'I should be asking you this question. Just a small addition. With him?' asked Kavin with a raised eyebrow.
'We just met.' said Daya shortly.
'I see. I don't like my girlfriend hanging out with other men. Get in the car Shreya' said Kavin in a steely voice and pointing to the sedan parked right next to Daya's Porsche.
Shreya made no attempt to move.
Kavin was about to say something but his gaze fell on the diary in Shreya's hand.
'What's that? Where did you find it?' Kavin yelled angrily.
'Scared are you?' Shreya asked with a sly grin.
'Shut up!' said Kavin.
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.
He slapped her hard. 'How dare you do that?' he asked.
'Stop hurting her!' said Daya moving towards him.
'Get back! I am warning you!' Kavin screamed.
'You are doomed you bastard!' said Shreya.
But Kavin pushed her roughly and she fell in the ground worsening her already twisted ankle.
'You are dead Kavin!' said Daya and Kavin reacted instinctively. He withdrew his gun and fired at Daya. Two bullets hit his knee and he staggered yelling in pain. Unfortunately Daya wasn't carrying his gun at that time.
The next moment Kavin forced Shreya into his car and gagged her to stop her from screaming.
Then he fired two more bullets into the Porsche's tyres and got in the car.
'Kiss your lover goodbye Shreya' said Kavin and pulled the trigger aiming at Daya's chest.
Without wasting another second he drove off.
