Angel's POV

I was sitting down and having my coffee. I picked up the newspaper, Manvi's soul appeared and asked "please... help me aakhri baar"

I looked at her and replied "Dekho main tumhari help kar chuki hun.. Mera kaam tha tumhare gunahgaron ko saza dilana jo maine kiya.."

She said something which shocked me. I looked at her silently. Tears slipped down from her eyes. She folded her hands in front me.

I sighed.. "Okay Fine.. I will help you but zyada der mere andar nahi rehna tum.." I said.

She smiled and nodded affirmatively.

I was left at thoughts. I should help her out, so that she can have peace. If I tell anyone that I am being encountering with a soul, they will be think I have gone mad.

Ruhana's POV

I woke up with jerk, for a moment I felt my daughter around me.

"Mannu.." I called her.

Vineet woke up hearing me, he asked "kya hua Ruhana?"

"Vineet.. Mujhe aisa laga jaise hamari mannu hamare paas thi.. Mujhe ehsaas hua" I replied.

"Ye tumhara weham hai Ruhana.." he said.

But I was not convinced with his words "no.. she is not a peace Vineet.." I said with teary eyes.

He pulled me into hug, I said "I am missing her.."

"Main bhi bahut yaad karta hun Ruhana.. Par ab hamare paas yaadon ke alawa kuch nahi hai" he said, his voice was turning teary.

"Bahut door chali gayi wo humse Vineet.. I want her back please wapas lao use" I said and burst out into tears.

He was helpless, he could do anything. "Sorry Ruhana.. Iss baar main aisa nahi kar sakta.." he said tearily.

We still trying to accept the reality, that she is no more in between us.

I heard a noise from downstairs, I broke the hug and wiped my tears. "Neeche awaaz kaisi hai.."

I stood up and moved down, I found Arjun entering inside the house.

I glanced at him and asked "tum iss samay bahar se kaha aa rahe ho?"

He replied "wo mere phone mein signal nahi aa raha tha... toh bahar tak gaya tha"

It was weird as phone signal is quite strong here. He moved inside his room and I went upstairs to sleep.

Arjun's POV

I thought, I should leave and head back to Pune. There were strange things, happening with me. "Kal hi mujhe wapas jaana chahiye.."

I slept with these thoughts in my mind. The next morning, I got ready and packed my things. I came out at the hall and found Angel standing talking to Manvi's parents.

I looked at her, she eyed me. She approached me and asked "kaha chale?"

"Wapas Pune.. bahut urgent kaam aa gaya hai" I replied

"But tum nahi jaa sakte ho" she said.

I asked "Why??"

"kuch formalities hai jo tumhe puri karni hai abhi 2 din baad" she informed.

Two more days? No I can't stay here. I replied "main tab aa jaunga.."

"Aaoge jaoge time waste hoga.. Yahi ruk jao" she said.

"Nahi.. main aa jaunga baad mein" I argued.

She looked down for a moment, then looked at me. I was shocked, as she said in Manvi's voice "itna nahi kar sakte ho apni dost ke liye haan?"

I was taken back.. "Manvi.." I almost yelled.

She looked at me in confusion "haan Manvi? Uske liye itna nahi kar sakte?" she asked.

"Kyun zid kar rahe ho jaane ki.. Ruk jao" Ruhana said.

I nodded and moved back to my room. Before leaving, I looked at Angel who passed me a smile.

The day passed in blur, later at night. I was inside my room working on laptop. It turned off abruptly. I tried to turn it on but failed. I kept it a side and then the screen appeared. I was shocked seeing this. The lights started to blink on and off. I was feeling so much frightened.

I ran out of the room, there was something written on the mirror. "Say the truth.."

I started to sweat badly, I heard the noise "Arjun..." the voice of Manvi's was echoing around in every corner of the hall. I kept my hand on both my ears.

"Bas.. nahi.." I screamed as I could not bear anymore.

The voice stopped, I looked here and there and found Manvi standing in front of me. I was shocked seeing her.. "Manvi.."

I ran towards the door but it gets shut. It was not opening, I shouted "open the door.."

I turned and was scared..

"Why did you that?" she asked.

I had tears in my eyes.. "Tumhari wajah se main marne ke baad bhi bhatak rahi hun.."

I got on my knees and folded my hands in front of her "please.. Stop I am sorry.. Mujhse galti ho gayi maaf kardo.."

"Tumhari ek galti Arjun.. Mujhe marna pada.."

"Mujhe nahi pata ye sab kaise ho gaya? Please jaane do mujhe.." I requested her.

"Jaane dungi.. Par pehle sach batao.. Sirf Sach" she said.

"Main sab bataunga.. Confess karta hun main.. Uss raat maine tumhara rape kiya tha.. Jiske baad tumne suicide kiya" I burst out the truth in front of her.

The lights get on, I looked and found Ruhana, Vineet and Angel standing in front of me. I stood up and glanced at them. Few more officers were also present.

Angel smiled.. "Yahan toh dost ne hi dhoka de diya.." she said.

She came near to me "tum jaante tum par shaq kab hua mujhe? Jab Aarav aur Ritvik ne confess kiya ki wo dono usse mile they but they did not raped her.. Aur kal raat tumhara uss jagah pe hona jahan pe Manvi aakhiri baar thi.. Made my doubt clear.." she exclaimed.

Ruhana's POV

I was left stunned hearing his confession, all the while he was been sympathetic towards her. Pretending to be innocent, he is the actual reason for my daughter's suicide.

Vineet pulled him and slapped hardly on his face. He shouted.. "How could you Arjun?"

"Madad.. Ki thi na tumne uski phir ye kyun kiya tumne?" he asked but he was silent.

"Sorry.. Main behak gaya tha.." he replied.

I lost my temper and moved to him, I slapped him.. "Behak gaye they tum?? Haan? Nahi tum bhi unn dono ke jaise gandi soch rakhne lage they.. Socha behti ganga mein haath do leta hun.. Shaq toh unpe hi jayega haina? Yahi sach hai na?" I shouted..

His silence was saying, I was right. "We trusted you Arjun.. Dost they na uske bachpan ke.. And uske saath yeh sab karte hue tumhe zara bhi sharam nahi aayi.."

Suddenly, he was been lifted and thrown away in the air. He dropped down on the floor with jerk. I was shocked seeing this.

"Aah.." he shouted.

Angel looked at left and said "nahi.. Manvi please don't kill him.."

Her words were confusing. Was Manvi here?? Why can't I see her.

Suddenly, Angel got a jerk. She moved to Arjun and picked him up."dard hua? Mujhe bhi hua tha... tumhari wajah se" her voice was extremely angry and different. She was talking in Manvi's voice.

She hit his head to the wall.. "Madad maangne aayi thi main tumse aur badle mein tumne kya kiya.. You broke me completely"

I was standing still at my place, I shouted "Manvi.. Ruko.. mat maaro usko please"

But her soul was in anger, because he had been freed and having a happy life. The justice was not given to her.

"Beta please ruk jaa.. Agar tune ise maar diya toh kaise sach saamne aayega?" I tried to convince her.

She stopped, she left him. Angel felt a jerk and she trembled. She stood holding the wall.

After about few minutes she looked at Shinde.. "Abe aise kya dekh raha hai? Utha isey arrest him.. Yeh hai asli kaatil..." she shouted.

Shinde gulped down his throat.. "Mujhe yakeen nahi ho raha hai.."

"Shinde.. Leke jaa isey.. " she said.

Manvi's POV

Finally, everyone will be punished who were responsible for my sufferings. I looked towards Angel and thanked her.

"Thank you.."

"It is fine.. Manvi tumne jab mujhe bataya ki Aarav aur Ritvik ne tumhare saath kuch nahi kiya uss raat.. I decided to get him in" she replied.

"Angel.. Manvi kaha hai? I want to talk to her" I heard my mother's desperate voice.

"Wo yahi hai.. Mere paas khadi hai.." she replied

"Why can't I see her? Sirf tumhe kyun dikh rahi hai?" she asked while looking here and there. Her eyes were finding me.

Unfortunately, I could see them but they can't. Why destiny is being so cruel? Tears slipped down from my eyes. 

Shock?
