WARNING: Blood and gore ahead.

Rubeena and Inspector Kirti

"What is this going on? Why is Naila dressed like that Astagfirullah! That to in front of Ridhima." Mrs Rubeena Alam said angrily and frustrated looking at the screen.

She wasn't ready for this. She thought it was stupid and an invasion of privacy but Naila had begged her to come as they were sitting in an warehouse office just a few minutes away from their house. Naila had said something so vile and stupid like Ridhima forced herself on Kaif that day and planned those both attack on her, also, killed her own husband. Rubeena got soo agitated to hear such things about her good friend that she almost raised her hand on the girl but her innocent eyes and desperate cries made her give in and she was here sitting with a female police officer watching her daughter in law in degrading clothes on a computer screen through a hidden camera.

What Naila was saying about her son loving her was making her heart ache. From the bottom of her heart she really wished it was true but at the same time she wanted it to be a lie.

At first she couldn't understand anything and was about to leave but when Ridhima walked towards her sweet daughter in law with a knife in her hand and a strange look on her face, she was scared.

She let out a scream, her heart almost stopped and she sat frozen, as Ridhima pushed the knife in Naila's stomach followed by her shocking words next....

"Kaif....he's mine.....MINE!"

The inspector got up to save her but her eyes caught Naila's gesture and she remembered how desperate the young lady was to prove her husband innocent and bring out the truth. But it was wrong to risk sn innocent civilian's life like that. The truth was important but after witnessing this, she can be investigated to get the true out. As a police officer who's duty is to protect the people she couldn't just sit back and watch anymore. She gathered her team and made her way to go save the innocent girl.

'Just a little longer.... I won't let you die Mrs Alam.' she thought.

She pulled out the blade as I grunted in pain. My body was quivering and my knees were giving out but I still managed to stand. She harshly pulled back at my hair.

"You pathetic little girl. Look at you now. Shaking like a leaf." She laughed

"Do you think you can take away what's mine soo easily? It's been more than a decade since I had my eyes on my Kaif..... I've loved him.... worshipped his godly looks. But he always called me Maasi....like I was his mother? I hated that!

I wanted him....so what if I lust after him? Huh? It is soo wrong? It's his fault for being soo handsome and sexy. So, one night I called him home for dinner and still he wouldn't fall for my seductions. So I had to sedate and prepare him a little. And just like that, he was putty in my hands.

Even after that he was avoiding me. Saying, fear the Lord....fear the God but he was the God for me that night. The God of seduction....Eros! He was no less than Eros to me.

So I took him.... I made him mine. He cried beneath me but I didn't mind, the pleasure I was getting was the best. Young lads are really soo good and my Kaif was the best."

She laughed like a psychopath. The lust in her eyes made me want to throw up. Tears streamed down my face

My Kaif....my poor innocent Kaif. He had suffered soo much because of this crazy woman. Oh Kaif!

She released my hair and lifted my chin with the tip of the blood covered knife.

"After that he ran away. I was soo upset. He didn't answer my calls. I wanted him again....at any cost. I heard he had locked himself up in his room for days. When finally he did take my call, I told him to come to me or else I'd kill his dear mother. That boy got soo scared that he came running to me to give me what I wanted.....him.

But my stupid husband just had to come back and see us. I was quite surprised but you should've seen Kaif face as he desperately begged...

"Save me." To him. It was soo cute to see him soo desperate."

"You psychopath!" I screamed.

"Oh save your little strength doll. Don't you wanna hear the whole story before you die?" She squeezed my neck and pushed me to the wall. Loss of blood was making me dizzy.

Just a little longer Naila....Allah....give me strength!

"He had to save his reputation so my dear husband blamed everything on young Kaif saying he raped me. It served him right. If he would've just agreed and not played soo hard to get then he wouldn't had to suffer like that and we could have lived happily.

As expected, everyone sided with the innocent crying victim, that is me and hated him. Even my best friend...his mother believed my words over her own son. It was soo much fun seeing him begging and pleading to prove himself innocent. Then again, he went to USA without telling me. I waited for him for 2 damn years. But when he didn't contact me, I decided to motivate him a little. You know what I did?"

She blocked me with her hand on the wall and traced the tip of the knife at the side of my face. My breath fastened with fear and sweat dripping off my forehead. The pain was getting unbearable as I pressed down at my wound.

"....I sent a maid to his house and made her switch Rubina's medicine and she got a heart attack and my darling had to come back to India. Ofcourse I wasn't going to kill her....yet. She was my leverage after all. But then he left again....for 4 fucking years. I got busy with my business so I let him be.

When he came back he got even more handsome and sexy. I couldn't wait to get my hands on him but then...."

She darted her eyes on me.

An almost inaudible scream escaped my throat as she took her hand back and with all her strength pierced the knife in me again. I could feel the coppery taste of blood at the back of my throat. I bent down in great agony sinking down on my knees trying to clutch at her arm. Tears streamed down my face again at the unexplainable pain. My insides felt like they were bursting through the never-ending atrocious ache.

"Then you came!" She spat with such abhor in her icy voice.

"And you ruined everything!" She screamed on my face.

"You got married to him...do you know, I've had someone tailing you both for a while now. Kaif told me that you mean nothing to him and that he was only with you for an year just for name sake, but I saw you holding hands, laughing, hugging, kissing! He lied to me! So my first warning were the rumours in your office, even after that you two didn't stop so my next warning was ....do you know what doll?"

I couldn't speak. Even breathing was causing me excruciating pain.

"....at the party. Remember that chandelier that almost fell on you. That's right! I did that! But then....even after that he tells me there's nothing going on between you two and I see you making out and all over eachother!" She slapped me hard making me fall on the ground.

"You two had sex didn't you? This pretty face and this body of yours....you used it to seduce him didn't you?"

She grabbed my chin to make me look at her...

"You took what's mine didn't you? You're only after his money, huh? Using your body so he can get you anything you want you whore! If only he was a bit late that night, my men would've burned this pretty face of yours with acid! Then do you think Kaif would've even wanted to look at you?

NO! He would come to me....and be mine.... it's all your fault!"

The knife drove through me again.... in the same spot as my blood splattered on her face and hands. I coughed out blood as my neck coved with the hot liquid. My whole body cover in blood by now, writhed in agony on the cold floor. The monster's face hovering over me. I could hardly keep my eyes open. As many times I blinked.... I could only see his face.... he's smiling at me. Calling me.

Kaif.... I'm sorry.... I can't hold on anymore..... please.....let me see you atleast once.... Kaif....

"Should I ruin this pretty face of yours right now? Nah, I'll just keep it for Kaif to cry over your dead body one last time. You know, I never got my hands dirty myself! But now I have to thanks to you. That's how much I'm crazy about my Kaif. For him I can do anything...

"Hell, I even got my husband killed for his sake!" She screamed finally admitting all her crimes.

I laid my head down relieved. It's over..... she's over now. I chuckled weakly with whatever strength I had left. She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Have you finally gone crazy in your last moments doll? Oh whatever! Goodbye Naila." She asked holding the blade up high to aim in my heart.

I chuckled again.

"You're dead Naila!" She screamed.

"That's the idea." I managed to say.

"What?" She asked confused.

"Because.....if I die.....now.....no one....can....save you." I managed to say with a satisfied smile on my face.

"Game....over.....Rid.... Ridhima!"

I heard her scream along the sound of a gun shot and the blade fell down beside me.

"Hands up Ridhima Ahuja! You've been caught red handed."

My eyes were closing.

"Mrs Alam.... Mrs Alam can you hear me. The ambulance is on it's way. You've been quite brave till now. Please hold on a bit longer. Don't close your eyes..."

The voice was getting distant and weak. Who was it? Inspector....maybe. Guess it's over for me too. Everything was getting fuzzy.... I couldn't feel any pain anymore....and my heart called out for just 1 person..... Kaif!

I hit the breaks abruptly as my body shook at the impact stopping in the middle of nowhere. I sank my head on the wheel.

What the hell am I doing? The girl who loves me soo much, how can she be friends with the woman who I hate to the core of my heart. I'm an idiot!

I lifted my head up as realization hit me. She's all alone with her.

Damnit! Kaif......

I pulled the gear and turned the car as the wheels screeched.

What have I done?!

An uneasy feeling pondered at my heart.

Please be ok Naila...... I'm coming!

###

As I reached the gate, I froze in my seat to see an ambulance inside. A police van was right outside too. I saw a few lady constables. I jumped out of the car and ran inside.

Mom? What is she doing here and why is she crying like that outside?

Naila..... where's Naila?

I took a step towards the house but what I saw next felt like the ground slipped beneath my feet. A sudden coldness hit me to the core and my vision blurred with tears.

On a stretcher, two men were bringing our a motionless woman who was covered in blood. My feet staggered.....it was my Naila.

I rushed towards her. My heart jumped to my throat....

So much blood! How?

I was confused and scared. I touched her still face which was pale like snow, there was blood all over her neck..... I didn't know what to do. She wasn't moving. My breathing raced as fear coarsed through my entire body. Blood was still oozing out of her abdomen which was being pressed down by a nurse.

"N.... Naila.....what ...wha...what happened?" I yelled desperately. With shaky hands held her still one. Her eyes were closed and she was soo still.

"Naila.... please.... open your eyes.... Naila! What happened to you?" I cried.

"LET ME GO! LEAVE ME!" I heard behind me. Ridhima was being dragged by 2 lady constables. Her hands were covered in blood and drops of blood were splattered all over her.

"Kaif...save me! Save me Kaif! Kaif!" She was screaming my name.

No way!

Tears cascaded down my face.

It's all my fault....my Naila....

Suddenly, I felt her grip on my hand. I turned to her immediately.

"N... Naila?!"

She opened her eyes slightly....a small smile came on her lips.

"We....we won.... Kaif.....we won.... it's....all over Jaan. It's....."

Her hand dropped down motionless from mine and her eyes closed again as they put her in the ambulance.....
