Thank you ๐
Now, letโs begin the storyโ
A girl was tied to a chair. Her face was covered in blood, and her clothes were torn in places. Suddenly, a boy entered the room.
Divyan โ โMihi, please get up! We have to get out of here.โ
She heard her name and slowly opened her eyes. Her face was completely bruised, but those brown eyesโฆ they were still as beautiful as ever.
Mihi โ โDivyan bhaiโฆ youโฆ you shouldnโt be here. Please ๐ฅบโฆ go before they hurt you too.โ
Divyan โ โNo, Mihi. I canโt leave you alone. Youโre coming with me.โ
Mihi โ โIโm sorry, bhaiโฆ I ruined everything. I hurt you the mostโฆ please ๐ฅบ forgive me.โ
As they spoke, Divyan untied her ropes. He lifted her in his arms and started to leave.
But then, two people appeared โ a boy and a girl, holding hands.
Girl โ โMy dear sisterโฆ do you really think you can walk out of here alive? Youโre going straight to heaven, right, Raghav?โ
Raghav โ โNainaโฆ youโre so cruel to your sister. Torturing her for 15 daysโฆ why not just kill her in one go?โ
Hearing this, Mihiโs heart filled with regret. Why hadnโt she listened to her brother before?
Meanwhile, anger blazed in Divyanโs eyes. He put Mihi down and punched Raghav hard. Raghav fell straight to the ground.
Divyan โ โThis is all because of youโฆ whether I live or die, Iโll kill you first!โ
But just as Divyan was about to hit him again, someone struck him from behind with an iron rod. Divyan clutched his head and collapsed.
Mihi (screaming) โ โBhai!โ
Four more people walked in. Among them were Mihiโs step-uncle and aunt, Raghavโs mother โ the one Raghav loved deeply but who never loved him back โ and her brotherโs biggest business rival.
They had all joined hands to destroy her life. She had been so foolish to trust them.
Raghav โ โTake this boy away and make sure his fate is so horrible that even death wonโt forget it.โ
The sixth man laughed wickedly, โWhy do it in private? Letโs do it in front of her. So she can watch and regret trusting us. That would be the real lesson.โ
Mihi (pleading) โ โNoโฆ please ๐ฅบโฆ let him go. You got what you wanted โ both his and my brotherโs property is in your name now. Kill me if you want, but let him go.โ
They all burst into cruel laughter at her begging.
Naina โ โOh dear sisterโฆ donโt worry. Iโll free you from this body too.โ
She walked closer and stabbed Mihi in the stomach. A sharp cry escaped Mihiโs lips as blood poured out.
Aunt (with a cold smile) โ โYouโre so foolish, Mihi Maheshwari. You trusted us over your own people. Do you even know what we did to your brother, Vivaan Maheshwari? We staged an accidentโฆ and ended his life.โ
Uncle (laughing) โ โAnd those two little birdsโฆ remember them? They cried for mercy too, but I didnโt spare them either. Want to see?โ
He showed her a video on his phone. Mihi watched helplessly as her world shattered before her eyes.
Naina โ โEnough talking. Finish the job and letโs leave. And you, Mihiโฆ your brother was so powerful yet couldnโt save anyone. Do you know why? Because you never trusted him.โ
Mihiโs eyes burned with rage, but it was too late. Everything was over. Her breath grew heavy. Everyone left except Naina and Raghav.
Raghav โ โNaina baby, why are we still here?โ
Naina โ โBecause, babyโฆ I want her to see that you love meโฆ not her.โ
She kissed Raghav passionately right in front of Mihi. Raghav didnโt stop her.
Their lips meeting felt like a dagger to Mihiโs already shattered heart. They didnโt stop there โ they crossed every limit while she watched, her world crumbling to dust.
Mihiโs breathing turned ragged. Her eyes fell on Divyan, lying on the ground, half-dead, his life slipping away like sand through fingers.
After they were done, Naina and Raghav walked away carelessly. With a wicked smile, Naina set the whole place on fire. Within moments, flames engulfed everything.
Divyan (in a broken voice, taking his last breath) โ โForgive meโฆ Vivaanโฆ I couldnโt save your sisterโฆ our Mihi.โ
Mihi (struggling for breath) โ โMahadevโฆ why are you doing this to me? Yesโฆ I made mistakesโฆ even sinsโฆ but do the innocent deserve this punishment? Iโฆ I deserved one more chanceโฆ Godโฆโ
Their voices died out as fire consumed everything. Soon, nothing remained but ashes.
The people who had orchestrated this betrayal watched the last flames die out as if waiting for the show to end. When it was over, they turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Who was Mihi Maheshwari?
Was this truly the end of her storyโฆ or was there more yet to come?
And the sixth manโฆ the one who planned her death โ who was he?
If her brotherโs name was Vivaanโฆ then who was this Divyan Luthra, the man who appeared in her final moments?
