PENALTY
Author
This is A One Shot..
Author
So there will be no here and there of the story
Author
Only this one chapter..
Natasha
Keep your voice down.. (whispers)
Yash
I still can't believe it..
Natasha slowly took out her gun and pulled the trigger, tip toeing to the man who was standing there, in front of her , with a heavy bag.
Natasha
I told you a lot of times, please don't do it.. But you still are here
Natasha
(pointing the gun at Ishaan)
Ishaan
And you are also here
Natasha
I told you, I won't think who you are to me, if we come at this point
Ishaan
I am sorry, but I have started to walk this path.. I need to finish it..
Ishaan
(throws a bottle out of his bag)
As Soon as the bottle came in touch of the ground, smoke surrounded everywhere and there was nothing to be seen clearly.
Natasha put her hands on her mouth and walked more towards the source of the smoke, but she still wasn't able to see it.
Suddenly she was pulled by a hand, to the other side.
Yash
Don't do it Natasha, I know it hurts you (still holding her hand)
Natasha
Things have to take place, how they are meant to
Natasha
(removes his hand)
Yash
Natasha, listen to me.. I am here.. I will do it for you
Yash
(holds her hands again)
Yash
Come to me, I will give you the happiness you deserve
Natasha just looked at the guy standing in front of her, blankly.
Natasha
There's nothing to be given to me, and there's nothing in me, that can be given to anyone
Yash
I will still do it for you
Natasha
That's not what is written..
Natasha said and again started running to the other destination, after the smoke faded.
The crowd was heavy and people were busy buying and selling things. They were celebrating the holiday arrival with their families, by shopping and eating out.
Natasha put her hand on the gun, in her bag, that was hanging on her shoulder, while walking through the crowd. Yash followed her the same way.
Her eyes were scanning every corner of the market
Natasha
It's the best place for him to achieve his target..
Her eyes caught what they wanted to see.
The familiar figure, with whom she woke up every morning, with whom she played around like a child, with whom she saw her future..
The person whom she never wanted to see in this place ever again..
But who was able to deceive the destiny?
Ishaan was standing in the middle of the crowd. He pulled out a gun from his waist band and then shot it in the sky, scaring every person there.
Ishaan
Anyone moves, he will be the next.. .(shouts)
Silence reigned the whole market.
He took out another gun with his other hand and then pointed to his other side
Ishaan
Well, well, This seems so calm.. (smirks)
Ishaan
(pulls the trigger)
Natasha
Wait Ishaan...(yells)
Natasha
(comes out of the crowd)
Ishaan
Here we are again..
Yash followed Natasha and came out of the crowd, with his gun.
The people were watching everything silently, children hiding behind their mothers and Fathers, young couples and elders, everyone were present there. The bags filled with goods and foods and different clothes, were all shattered on the ground.. The only possession that mattered right now, to people was life
Natasha
I..
(voice cracks)
Ishaan
I told you, I can't go back..
Ishaan
(points one gun at Natasha)
Ishaan
(other still pointing at crowd)
Natasha
And I Told you, please come back..
Ishaan
Don't do this to me
Ishaan
Don't do this to you
Ishaan
Don't do this to us.
Natasha
You were the one, who messed up
Ishaan
You don't want it.. (a tear escapes)
Natasha
I didn't want you to be here too
Natasha
But here you are..
Yash
(clenches hands around gun)
Ishaan
You know that, I can't do this too.. But -
Natasha
But we are forbidden.. (smiles)
Natasha
I won't let you do it too
Ishaan
(also walks towards her)
Natasha also walked towards him, and now both of them were pointing their guns at each other's chest.
Ishaan
I still love you, but I can't go back.. To whom I was.. To whom we were
Natasha
I still love you, and you don't want it
Ishaan
"This might be the last time, we are walking to each other.. (pulls the trigger)
Natasha
Just like the first time, (pulls the trigger)
Ishaan
I can't do this (drops the gun)
Natasha
and I have to do this.. (smiles)
Her smile showed the thunder in her heart
Ishaan
I will do the thing, I was meant to..
Natasha
And this is your penalty,
Natasha
For Betraying our Nation
The sound of gun echoed everywhere and people flinched and got down.
Ishaan fell down on the ground, and Natasha fell down on her knees. Tears falling out, and her lips curled up in a smile
Natasha
And this is my Penalty for, loving you.. And for doing what my work asks for..
Natasha
(puts the gun on her head)
Natasha
I will still love you
Once again, the sound echoed, but no one flinched. Everyone was shocked.
Yash
NATASHAAA..!! (shouts)
Both of them, Ishaan and Natasha, closed their eyes slowly, looking at each other, with smile.
Yash ran towards Natasha and put her hand on his lap, he felt his heart drowning in the Pacific Ocean where he can't even swim.
""" TODAY, AT THE CENTRAL MARKET, A BIG TRAGEDY WAS ESCAPED AS A TERRORIST WAS STOPPED FOR PUTTING THE BOMB IN BETWEEN THE CROWD. OUR ONE OFFICER, WAS ALSO MURDERED IN THIS MISSION """
The news flashed on everyone's Televisions and people let out deep breaths by thinking that their are still officers who would do anything for keeping the world safe.
Yash stood in front of the pond, as he saw the sun melt down , leaving the world behind, leaving the memories and the love it gave to everyone, leaving the brightness, going to the ultimate escape where, where souls meet.
