A round of punches and clashes took place.The place has become a complete mess.Vikram and Suhaas equally wounded and bled.Both had tried their best to vent out the sheer hatred.

Suhaas held him from his collars and choked his throat.He thrived to breath.Kicked Suhaas;s leg and managed to escape.Before another blow and his nose started bleeding.Suhaas was high.With rage, will and determination to kill him.

V-"You will.see end of me.You...son of a.."

Vikram was pushed on glass table.The glass shattered into pieces.He wiped the blood off his mouth and faced a roaring lion.That was standing.Wounded.Bleeding.

S-"Speak.I will make sure.you speak and mean every fucking thrash that comes out of your mouth.Speak."

Another few punches by Suhas and Vikram was down.He coughed and blood came out.Suhaas showed on mercy and dragged him down all way from stairs.

S-"What did you think.only you have right to play with people.Innocent lives.Destroy a person. a family.Filth like you.deserve to die.worse than a dog.Speak.I want to hear you.Speaak."

Suhaas shouted beastly.His voice showed anger and hatred.Soon it subsided.There were hundreds of emotions he tried to never show.Today they were coming out.Past events made him do that.He could never forget that life.Which compelled him.to become a beast.

He kicked Vikram number of times and pulled him up by collar.What shook him was the smirk that still played on Vikram's face.

V-"You want to kill me?haha.Then.do that.come on.Be a man.Rishi Pratap.Kill me.But.wait.You think you can escape after that?hahahaha.Kill me.go ahead."

Suhaas couldnt believe his eyes.He clenched his fists to aim for Vikram but.Targeted the table beside him.His hand started bleeding.His red eyes again challenged Vikram.

S-"I dont fear death.you hear that?I would do anything it takes me to finish you off.Even if it costs me my death."

Vikram laughed further holding on to his stomach.He was bruised badly.His eyes were red equally.Face did not held any fear.It mocked.

V-"Death.How does that sound.tell me.OOh.you are experienced on that case.Tell me.How does it feel.Death is.hm.Losing yourself.or your loved ones.Seeing them burning down to ashes.Let it be.You are not going to do anything.You want to kill me then.you could have done that before.Why didnt you?Let me guess.You.are. a .bloody coward.Like your rotten case father."

Soon Vikram was braced with a harsh blow and fell down on his stomach.He spat the blood and faced him again.

V-"What happened.truth hurts?Or.is it painful.to hear about your past.Rishii.I know every thing.Every bit about your past.How you transformed from Rishi to Suhaas.You think only you have brains.And I dont?Let me bless you with this amazing piece of news.Here in criminals are given far more thunderous punishments."

S-"I never feared.And dont forget your facing Suhaas.Who hold no emotions."

V-"hahahah.suhaas.The Suhaas Sahae.Hell with your acts.You have always been an emotional fool.Admit that.First your father, then family and.Ok.your faithful dog Raju.He also left you.Poor you.Why does everyone leave you Rishi.Why."

Suhaas shut his eyes.He banged his already wounded fists in the wall.He bled.And tears brimmed in his eyes.In this lifetime all he wished to let go of that tragic images.They tortured him.He turned around and looked at the filth of person facing him.

V-"what?dont give me that look.Oh.I missed out some one else.What Rishi.How can you be so mean.You became reason for taking your loved ones to death bed.You did not spared that man who helped you to become Suhaas Sahae.Prakash.Remember?"

Prakash and his wife Shreya were also brutally killed in an accident.After his parents they were people who gave him love and warmth.One who held him up to rise again.

V-"You are cursed.Willingly or unwillingly.you led them to death.And now also you did same.But let me take this chance to complement you also.No matter how hard you tried to build up yourself as the ruthless and stone hearted Suhaas Sahae.You proved time and again you are no less than a fool.Tell you why?Emotions Rishi.They failed you.What did you do.Raped a girl just to take revenge on her fiance and.Boom.haha.you married her?I pity you.Wow wow the great Rishi Pratap Saahe.Saved a poor innocent soul and made her his wife.All way you carried your ill fate to here and what did you get in return?She warmed your bed for years and yet.Chose me at end.Well.Speaking on that note.I was about to have that chance with her.She is gorgeous isnt she?"

Suhaas had it.The man struck right chords and the trail of emotions overpowered him.He held Vikram up from floor and gave him hard blows.The punches made him weak each time.And before Suhaas knew what he felt a pain.So sharp that hit his right side of stomach.

Vikram looked at him with a cunning smile.Slowly Suhaas lost balance.His eyes became teary.Vikram took out dagger and stabbed him.

Standing on his feet,Vikram limped and threw the dagger away.He kicked Suhaas's half unconscious body.

V-"You havent seen worst of me.Yet you chose to face death.Suhaas Saahe huh.A dog's death.He dialed a number and spoke in painful voice.

V-"This is.ahh.Vikram.I am speaking from my home.Please.This guy is after me.Almost killed.Officer save me."

He ended the call after passing a sly grin.Being short of breath he felt his throat dry.

V-"I win in every game I play.I mean it mate.Now rest.in.peace.forever."

He took dagger holding it with handkerchief.Made sure to rub finger prints and continued holding it on that same manner walking  to Suhaas.Fixing it on his (Suhaas) hand he stabbed him on his right leg.Suhaas winced in pain.He was on verge of losing senses.he tried to get hold of Vikram but was pushed by him.

V-"You took this dagger that night.didnt you?remember.Stabbed me.And today you stabbed yourself when you realized you cant harm me.and.tried to suicide?Shame.on you.Let the police come.maybe.you will be saved or.who knows.whats in your fate."

He stabbed Suhaas twice on same place.Till he made sure injury and bleeding made him weaker.And he closed his eyes.Vikram leaned on his face.and spoke.

V-"Thats called.well executed.plan.And now.Last innings played by me.Suhaas Sahae."

Vikram then eyed stairs.Meenakshi was up lying unconscious he knew.He wiped the blood and gave a lusty look back.He felt his head dizzy and took support of table.A jug of water was there.He threw everything on table and got hold of jug.Emptied half of water gulping down in thirst.

V-"Meena.I have to fulfill promise.I will give you a well feasted farewell."

Quite few steps taken.He felt a sensation in his nerves.The dizziness increased.and he stumbled upon his steps.He caught his throat which started burning.The pain and restless feeling made him start sweating.

He coughed and fell down.His vision was half blurred.The whole room started swinging.All he managed to heard.some footsteps.

His eyes turned watery.he feared death.He cannot die.This was merely a dream.A nightmare he was about to face.

He coughed badly.The sweat beads formed on his forehead forming lines of worry and fear.He moved like a fish urging to survive without water in a dry pond.Another cough and blood oozed out of his mouth.His eyes survived shock and blurred vision made him come to terms.

With unclear image Vikram could see the person his sworn enemy whom he almost killed few moments ago.Suhaas Sahae was seated right in front of his eyes.Smearing off blood from his face he smirked at his body lying on floor.He positioned himself on couch and sat with head high.

The mind busied himself trying to discover the reason behind this.How and who made this happen.The game was in his favor and within a minute it changed.He tried to move his body up pointing finger at Suhaas while his other hand still held on to throat.He felt burns from inside.

V-"You scoundrel.you.you.

poisoned.ah.cough cough.I will kill.."

S-"I have been your unfathomable enemy and.you can count on me.I will give you.not an easy death.Trust me.I wished.And I still. do so."

The sheer hatred and determination in Suhaas's eyes made Vikram shiver in fear.The pain turned unbearable with each second.He collapsed again.His chest pained.The poison was affecting his body.He needed to know who gave him taste of his own medicine in his own game.Who dared to lead him to way of death.

Vikram sensed a presence of third person and hear the footsteps.After failing twice he took support of floor and raised his eyes.

V-"Mmeena..Save me.ah"

She sat on his knees and reached to him.His eyes hoped for mercy and sympathy.His hand tried to reach her and in a moment his trance broke.

M-"What happened?Must be in pain?I feel sad.dejected.How can I be proved wrong.Here I thought a snake can never be killed with his own venom.Oh.Vikramare you going to die?But I didnt empty whole bottle trust me."

With upright shock of death he faced the woman.her eyes changed color it looks.The body language and tone could not make him believe his eyes.

She clenched her teeth and breathed high.Taking a moment to breath Meenakshi came an inch closer to the man.With whom she once dreamt to live a life.And now all she wants. Destruction.

M-"Please.Vikram.you cant die.please.I beg of you.you promised twice to save me.You have to be there with me.for me."

She pulled him harshly from collar while he choked harder.His face lost color.

M-"You have to face a death.so painful.even pain cannot beg for forgiveness.Please.Vikram.Dont die.Lose your breath.Because your every breath is answerable for sins done by you.You have to live up to your words Vikram.you have to..you wont DIE. an easy death.Wont."

Her face was red burning in revenge.Her inside jolted with rage and throwing his body down she balanced herself on her feet.The screams did not fail to echo in the whole place.Her scream of pain , agony and long lost - quest.for Revenge.

Meenakshi turned other side making her back face the man lying on floor struggling to survive.

M-"KILL him Suhaas.Finish him off."

Vikram looked at horror the two pairs of eyes that faced him with equal hate and raw urge to seek for something.He staggered his body back each time feeling short of breath.And in the moment he knew if it was time to face the wrath.He wont be able to make it far.This time. 

V-"Meena.Meenah no.you cant.do this to me.You.you came back to me.How."

Meenakshi laughed and her eyes spat a disgusted look at him.She again walked to him.

M-"came back to you?yes I did."

V-"You.you said you will.destroy him.and."

M-"When a woman's honor , her emotions and dignity is brought to shame.thousand times.breaking into pieces.she shatters.But.I did not chose to do so.I did not bring destruction to myself.I pledged to destroy you.A scoundrel and inhuman soul like you.deserves to suffer."

V-"I see.so.what.were you.doing.all this while.Now trying to act to get saved.Hah.I will die.but.you wont be spared.Either the police or your HUSBAND will kill you with his own bare hands."

Vikram smiled but soon faded off his face as he found Meenakshi approaching Suhaas.He raised his brows seeing the duo.The effect of poison was slowly wrecking his body.Yet he managed to keep his eyes open.

Meenakshi held her husband's hands and made them reach her neck.She tightened his hold there.And he caught her from throat.They were indulged in an eye lock.

V-"Rishi.kill her.You saved her every point of life.See what she did to you.I have been a dog.but she is worse than that.You know what she told me and was even ready to sleep with me if you wouldnt have intervened.Now at your mercy.Bitch.Let me see how you handle this.Before I close my eyes I would love to see this sight."

Meenakshi tightened the hold of his hands around her neck.Suhaas felt her hands on him.She spoke through her eyes.A moment passed and she whispered.

M-"Kill me.Rishi.Kill me." 

Suhaas widened his eyes in shock.He was taken on to the moment.The way she spoke with an emotion.He could barely take a second to react.The name from her mouth sounded.At edge of mercy.His eyes in return begged her to stop.

He clenched his jaws and pulled her towards him.Shocking the hell out of Vikram, what Suhaas did was embrace Meenakshi in a fierce hug.He had his eyes open.He eyed Vikram with rage.

She had her arms around his back.She felt blood.Her eyes moistened.She became stiff in his hold.And felt his hand on her abdomen.She frowned her brows and faced him.

S-"I wouldnt dare to kill.you.even if I wished.."

She kept his hand closer to where he had it.On her abdomen.Both shot a look to the person who laid at their mercy now.

M-"I was designed to plan your end Vikram.maybe.And I swore to kill you off.But not with my hands."
