AKYA FF~CAUSE I STILL BELIEVE IN DESTINY- EPILOGUE PAGE 21 UPDATED - Page 13

Monica and Armaan were in the dining hall. There was pindrop silence in the room. Different kinds of dishes were placed on the table but both of their plates were empty. It was clear that neither of them was in a mood to eat. After sometime Monica broke the silence,

Ar:(in a cold voice) Tumhe toh khush hona chahiye na Monica. Aakhir Ananya humesha se hi tumhe chubhti thi. Tumne toh kabhi bhi use apni beti maani hi nehi. Uske jaane se toh tumhe sukoon milna chahiye.

Mo:(gave a blank expression) Main maanti hu ki main humesha Ananya se sakti se pesh aayi hu aur main ye bhi maanti hu ki woh mera jhuta ghamand tha.(turned towards Armaan) Par iska ye matlaab nehi hai Armaan ki main use apni beti nehi maanti, aisa nehi hai ki main usse pyaar nehi karti. Par aajtak meri yeh fake ego meri mamta par bhari para hai. Aur aaj jab meri beti mujhse dur hui hai na Armaan toh mera maan kar raha hai ki main use gale lagau aur use ye batau ki thank you beta. Meri zindagi mein aane ke liye, mujhe ek maa ka darjaa dene ke liye. Mujhe meri beti wapas chahiye Armaan. Please use wapas leke aao. Please...(broke down)

Armaan instantly got up from his seat and hugged Monica,

They hugged each other and cried their heart out.

Aakash was going through some files in his cabin when his boss entered. He grabbed a chair in front of Aakash's desk,

Ak:(chuckled) Woh toh hona hi tha sir. By the way thanks a lot sir. Aapne jo mere liye kiya hai woh main kabhi nehi bhulunga. Agar aapka support nehi hota toh shayaad aaj main apni maksad mein kamiyaab nehi ho pata.

Ak:(smiled) Thanks a lot sir. Mujhe samajhne ke liye.

Bo:(gave a deep sigh) Aakash, maine kabhi bhi khud ko kisi rishtey mein nehi uljhaya. Kyuki mujhe humeshaa se lagta tha ki agar meri family rahegi toh woh sirf aur sirf meri kamzori banegi. Par main galat tha Aakash. Kabhi kabhi hume apno ki sabse zyada zarurat hoti hai. Kyuki jab sab hume thukra dete hai, koi humpar bharosa nehi karta, jab hum zindagi se haar jate hai tab apne hi humaara saath dete hai, hume sambhalte hai.

His boss nodded and then they discussed that how they had made the kidnappers confused to hell with their masterplan and then how easily they fell in their trap. That was the masterstroke of Aakash as he made the kidnappers scratching their heads over the sudden happenings as they were unable to figure out what was going on. Aakash was very sure that they would make an unwise move and that one move paved his way to them. A huge fight took place between the gang and Aakash and his allies; which his boss had permitted; much to Aakash's surprise. All the members of the gang were reported to be shot and killed in a crossfire that took place between them and the police. But no one actually knew the true story behind it.

Aakash's boss left his cabin after congratulating him on his success. Aakash sat on his chair;closing his eyes; as soon as he did that, Ananya's face flashed in his memory. Aakash got up from his seat and headed outside.

Aakash parked the car at Rawat Mansion and asked for permission to meet Armaan. He was waiting in the hall when Armaan arrived,

Ak: Sir aapne mujhe bulaya, Koi kaam tha sir?

Ar:(confused) Matlaab? Main kuch samjha nehi beta.

Armaan stood silent for sometime and then came forward and hugged Aakash.

Ar: May God bless you beta. May God bless you always. I am really proud of you. Well my boy I think you should start calling me dad from now on.(laughed) Aaj se tum humaari family member ho.

Ak:(chuckled) Thank you sir... sorry dad.

Aakash nodded and then Armaan left for his office. Aakash then headed towards Ananya's room. He entered into the room. There was no one in the room and there was pindrop silence. He gave a sigh and went to the balcony.

Aakash leaned over the railing and looked at the beautiful garden in front. After sometime, he felt someone's footsteps behind him and soon a beautiful fragrance hit his nose. Before he could even turn, someone spoke up from behind "Aakash!" Aakash turned around and there he saw a very beautiful lady dressed in a lovely white frock; standing with a beautiful smile. Aakash stopped breathing as soon as he had a glance of her. He was desperate to have a glance of her for so long and now that he had he became totally frozen. The girl who was standing in front of him was his love Ananya. Ananya didn't waste a

single second and she rushed towards Aakash and crashed on his chest. Aakash hugged Ananya tightly and then picked her up in his arms. He rained kisses on her face and hair madly and then sealed her lips with his. He kissed her desperately as if he would die if they parted. After a long time, Aakash had to stop as they both were out of breath. When their nerves cooled down a bit, Aakash kissed on her forehead and took her inside the room. He made her sit on the bed and then he too sat beside her. He took her hands in his and then kissed them. Both of them had tears in their eyes. Ananya couldn't bear it anymore and hugged Aakash

again. Aakash caressed her hair and they remained silent for a long time.

Aakash and his boss seem to be having a very crucial discussion.

And then Aakash explained his plan. They made up Ananya to be dead and that the police had found her deadbody. When this news spread all over the city, as Aakash expected, the kidnappers were totally out of their mind; thinking of what went wrong as when they still had Ananya, how possibly could the police find her deadbody. They couldn't figure out anything and so they decided to shift Ananya to another place and then take further steps. This one mistake became their destruction as Aakash and his team had traced them all along and when they made their very first move, they had a face to face battle and marking the end of the gang; Ananya was rescued immediately; not totally unharmed but alive. The most relieving thing was that she somehow was able to save herself from getting molested. When Ananya saw Aakash rushing towards her she just whispered his

name"Aakash!" and when he reached to her and took her in his arms she just rested her head on his shoulder and then passed out. She was immediately rushed to the hospital and Aakash had to leave from there to handle the situation that had taken place and he urgently needed to sort it out. The police had cooperated with them fully; from the beginning, till the end. And thus the matter was sorted out properly.

Aakash cupped Ananya's face and then kissed her forehead.

She hugged Aakash tightly and then they again kissed.

Everything settled down well. Armaan and Monica had accepted Aakash and Ananya's relationship whole heartedly and they soon started preparations to make their love official by making them legally husband-wife.
