" Get lost. "
Avanthika slammed the door on Adway's face.
He stood still though, and smiled.

What times, when you fight because of your last life!
A novel should definitely be written on their lives!

He shouted, " Avanthika, if you don't open the door I'll keep standing and keep banging and keep shouting. And your PG mates will have a scene to enjoy. "

Avanthika immediately opened the door with a sheer disgust on her face. And Adway slipped in.

" Wow! I mean look at this room! So neat! Wow hats off, real royalty! "

" Why are you here? Do you want me to break a vase on your head? " , Avanthika hissed.

" Calm down Avanthika, just calm down! What are you doing to yourself? "

" I'll not spare her. "
Avanthika sat on the bed and swayed back and forth in excitement.

" What won't you spare? "
Adway settled himself on another bed before her.

" I'll have my revenge. "

" Revenge? Lol! Is this a daily soap? Or a movie of sorts? Like come on, you are a modern beautiful girl, you have a bright future in a very different field, and you're into all these! Come, tell me if you have a boyfriend. "

" Shut up, just shut up! Listen, I don't even believe you are as good or whatever you make yourself look like. I myself know how remembering the past feels like. We all connect to our past, only you claim to be disconnected. Seriously? "

" Wow Avanthika! You're so intelligent! What Amarendra and Devasena didn't get, you got in a second! "

Adway stood up, came close to her and brought his face at her level.
Avanthika squeezed her brows.

" Don't be a fool Avanthika! Amarendra is no longer a Demi God. I bet you. Your revenge will forever remain unfulfilled because a person like Amarendra won't repeat his mistakes. You know what? Devasena was coming behind you, but he stopped her because he feels you'll be harmful. Instead.... " , he slowly brought out the gun from his pocket, "...he handed me this from his weaponry and sent me behind you. "

" What? "
Avanthika almost jumped feet away from Adway.
" What will you get by murdering me.. and why even? "

" Oh come on! This is just for defense! In case you really break that vase on my head! "
Adway laughed and settled himself in Avanthika's place, shoving the gun inside again.

Avanthika kept standing with eyes widened.

" I'll give you a good advice. Sit with Devasena. Listen to her. You hadn't confronted her in your last life even. You just guessed things , and took major decisions. "

" I hate her face now. "

" Too much hatred will swallow you instead. "

" She's got back her Amarendra! And I? "

" If Amarendra is back even Mahendra will be. You can try and find him out rather! "

" Amarendra's soul was carried forward by Mahendra. I swear. Otherwise who looks exactly like his father? If Amarendra is here, Mahendra isn't. I'm sure! "
Avanthika sat down on a chair, devastated.

" Theories.
Lovely!
So what do you plan? "

Avanthika looked extremely tired.
" Plan? I don't have plans. I am not conspiring against anyone. If I had to, I would do since when I knew who she's. "

Adway settled on the bed more comfortably.
" Suppose, if Amarendra marries Devasena tonight, what will you do next? "

" Marries? "
Avanthika stared at him, horrified.

" Suppose.. "

Avanthika shot up.

" Wow! Wow! Two women have the same fate, their husbands die, they die, but ultimately one is having fun in another life, and the other is burning in hell! "
Avanthika shouted.

Adway kept staring at her, calmly.

" It's your fate that's to be blamed, not them then. "

" SHE KILLED MY HUSBAND, DAMN IT!"

" You presumed that. And even now you don't know things. Avanthika, either face it, or move on. I'll give you a better advice. Hit your head hard against things so that your memory wipes out. "

Avanthika smiled suddenly.
" I don't even expect you to understand emotions Adway! You were talking of new relations? Since the time I remembered my last birth, I've been married to Mahendra Baahubali. And never in my life will I forget that ever! Seven vows, seven lives ,maybe that is it!
Whatever I did as Avanthika Baahubali was because I loved my husband, my son. But I got nothing, no one. And you tell me to move on? With what? With whom? "

" With yourself maybe.
If Mahendra's love was strong for you, you'll have another life when you'll meet him. I believe in it strongly! I believe in karma! Look at me, you correctly said, I won't understand emotions. Bhallaldeva never did. And here I'm in this birth as well, loveless! "

Adway looked drifted away suddenly. Avanthika wiped her tears.
" Why are you loveless? You don't even much connect to your past. Neither did you love someone back then. You had a foster son whom you forcefully adopted due to situations in the kingdom. Then what? "

" I don't know what. This life has had women, but none stayed. Neither did I connect to anyone. Maybe when your past life stands like a mirror before you, you don't much connect to anything around... "
Adway kept staring outside the window. And Avanthika kept staring at him.

" I don't get you at all Adway! You are a complete mystery to me. I had clear intentions. Of not reviving the past. But I don't get yours. "

" Nor do I... " ,Adway murmured.

" Sorry? "

" I said I myself am a mystery to me. And I myself don't recognise neither my feelings, nor Bhallaldeva's....towards women...towards...a...woman....  "

" Adway I don't hear you. You are eating up your words. Anyways I would love if you leave now. But thank you, I'm feeling much at peace. I'll need some sleep. "

Adway didn't move.
" You know what Avanthika, I am genuinely sorry for Amarendra and Devasena. Sorry about what their lives have been because of my past self. I genuinely wanted Devasena to remember everything and relieve Amarendra. But now when everything's done....seeing them happy and in each others arms should make me happy but....  "
Adway looked at Avanthika.
She was holding her temple and leaning forward on her chair.

" Avanthika? "

" I have taken seven sedatives Adway. Please leave now. I need to sleep big time. "

Adway slowly got up, felt the gun in his hind pocket and stood before Avanthika. 

" You're right Avanthika. Having and not having love, changes things a lot. You won't even know which side of the table you are standing now and the next moment. But again I'll tell you, meet Devasena, talk to her, and if you don't trust her still....  "
Adway brought his mouth close to Avanthika's ears and whispered,

"......take the gun from me, and shoot. "
