You don't have to do this; trust me, I will fix everything." I know I can't convince him saying this after what I did till now. I saw him pointing the gun towards me.

"YOU LEFT ME WITH no choice, Vristi," he said crying, and then he pressed the trigger.

*gunshots*

When the bullets touched my skin, tears made their way down my eyes. I felt them passing through my body, and the water near my legs made it even worse for me to be stable on my feet. My legs felt like noodles.

All I could hear was the bubbling sound of the water and the blurred image of the person in front of me. I fell on my back and the water started to swallow my body, but all my mind was giving flashbacks about...

Samantha, zavian, Kyro, and all the sins I made... they... they are all going in my mind

"I...I hate you, Mike." Those were the words spilled like a whisper in my mouth; the tears clouded my eyes. I faint.

After a few minutes...

"Hey, wake up, look at me." I took this woman to the nearby hospital and then reported it to the police. The doctor took the lady to the operating room. The doctor said he would take care of it. I waited for someone who knew her. After an hour:

A guy came running to the room where she was in

Where is she?? Is it serious? Please tell me... Is she ok?

Who are you? Who is she to you?

I'm Zavian, her boyfriend, or maybe ex, I guess, now. Tell me, is she ok? I ask tensely.

I... Idk but she will be alive; that's what the doctor said

"Thank God," Zavian whispers. We both sat on nearby chairs waiting for doctors to come out and say something as hours passed. I spoke first.

We, like, how did you both meet? Well, first you tell me, who are you? I ask that guy

I...I...um, huh, never mind... wait, tell me your story first

*Zavian's point of view*

Sounds of giggling can be heard in the room; we were laughing on the ground. I was on top of her, tickling, and she was begging me to stop as she was out of breath (I laugh with tears in my eyes). That day was such cute memory to me; she loved me more than I loved her, but seeing her this way (tears flow down my eyes)-hey, hey, it's ok, everything will be alright, she is still alive and everything will be well (the stranger who admitted her patted my back with concern)

It was my first day at university; the weather was a bit cold, and the clouds gave the sign it might rain anytime. I joined the university because of my cousin's brother. It was the day I first saw her. I saw her beating the shit out of someone, and then I saw my cousin waving at me (I tell the stranger)

I went to him; he was there seeing the show, standing beside his friend

Zavian: Hey, bro, what's up? [did a handshake]

...: damn, he shouldn't have messed with her

Cousin: Yeah, bro, now he is facing the consequences... this is Kabir [pointing at his friend]

Zavian: Hi... I'm Maik's cousin. They both had a handshake.

Zavian: Well, why isn't anyone stopping her?

Maik: Well, he kinda deserves that...

Kabir: And people here are scared of her; don't ever interfere, never, bro. [smiling]

Zavian: So what's her name?

Kabir: Well, the one who is beating is "Vristi," the one having injuries is Sam "Samantha," and lastly the one crying is "Mira." I say casually as if it's normal.

Maik: And he is Draksh [the one fighting with her]. the bully

She stopped fighting with him, and his friends started to carry him away from her. Suddenly, she started to yell at her friend who had injuries

Vristi: What would you be doing if I wasn't here, ha? Get her and yourself beaten in his hands? [hits her on the head]

Sam: Nothing happened, right, so chill

Vristi: Oii [annoyed]... why are you so childish??

Sam shows her tongue and runs away from there

Vristi shakes her head in disbelief and turns to Mira, who is crying, and asks if she is ok. Mira nods her head as yes, sobbing slightly. Vinona smiles slightly and says, "Let's go. She is wearing a black shirt and olive cargo pants. I think she was like 5 feet or less. I laughed and continued telling him the story

Vristi: WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?? DRAMA IS OVER, GO TO YOUR FUCKING CLASSES.

I left from there with Kabir and Maik

in afternoon: [in the cafeteria]

Maik: Let's go there.

Zavian: let's sit here, bro; the view is good in this spot

Maik: Nah, bro let's go there

Zavian: Why that specific place?? Something is fishy

Kabir: Ah... you don't know this well. Come, I will explain to you; let's wait here. [sits in the chair]

A girl entered the cafeteria and sat near Maik, and it was Mira. Right after her there were other girls who came and sat beside her... it made me too shocked to see the lady gangster sitting with us.

Kabir: I think you kind of understand this. Maik and Mira are in a relationship... Hey Vristi, you hurt your knuckles... It's bleeding; let me get cotton.

Vristi: It's ok; I will wash it. I need to thank someone for this [showing her knuckles as she was glaring at Sam, who was eating].

Sam:Well, who is this new guy?

Maik: Ah... sorry, I forgot this is my cousin Zavian. {they all greet each other.} Well, Sam, he has the same classes as you, so please take care of him for me.

Vristi: You want your cousin dead... [Alan looks at Max with a confused expression.]

Zavian: Huh? Sorry, I didn't get you

Vristi: I said your cousin wants you dead. [Kabir just chuckles at what Vinona said.]

Maik: Bro stop it; you're scaring the poor kid

Vristi: Sending a poor boy with Sam can be a death wish for him... if he wants to be on a deathbed himself, then I'm no one to speak. [she said this while putting her hands in a surrender position.]

Sam: Can you stop taunting me for a second, please... [Vristi just gives her a fake smile for being annoyed by her troublesome actions.]

*PRESENT*

She was so different from the girls I met before; the difference I mentioned was not her but me around her, the spark I felt around her, and the luminosity in my eyes whenever I saw her. That was the difference I was talking about... It wasn't a love-at-first-sight thing, but as I got to know her little by little, I felt something towards her. I ignored my feelings for too long, but that was the last day, as we were graduating, and it was prom night. I gathered up all my courage and went to her...

We all were enjoying ourselves and having drinks as Kabir and Sam were together.

Zavian: Hey, um... gangster. I want to talk to you about something

Vristi: What's up?? Is it too important?

Zavian: Yes, come with me

He took her to the balcony, where it was hushed and the cold breeze was touching their skins. He spoke, gathering his courage for being ready to get beaten by her or accepted by her... he was scared of both. His legs felt like noodles in front of her. The sharp gaze in her eyes made it even worse for him to speak; he was dazed looking at her eyes as she was waiting patiently for him to speak first.

Vristi: Did you bring me here just to stare at me?

Zavian: I know this is going to sound weird, but I think I want to be with you for a lifetime. I want to be with you every day and night. I want to wake up beside you. I want to share my life with you.

Vristi: Are you serious?? [laughing] Wait... you're serious? I... Look, I'm speechless. I've never seen you in this type of way. You have been a good friend to me, and I never expected that you would propose to me. This caught me off guard... I have nothing to say, but I'm sorry if I gave you any hopes. This love thing doesn't suit me... sorry.

That's it. I was too astonished to speak. I saw her figure disappearing from my sight, and my chest felt heavy. I had a lump in my throat, and that was the last day I saw her... And I didn't have any contact with her

After 3 years

We had a reunion of our batch, and that day I again saw her in a red, V-necked, sequined maxi dress. She was looking hot and different from the Vristi I know. I was shocked. I saw her coming in my direction; she tapped my shoulder, and then I got the reality. She came near my ear and whispered, "I love you too," and kissed my cheek. As she did that, I jumped out of my skin...

W-WHAT??? I asked her, and she answered. I said, "I love you too, idiot." She smiled at me, and then we got into a relationship, but later I got to know she was just using me, and I was just a pawn in her game.

We all went to a restaurant. "Hahaha," we were laughing, roasting each other. Samantha Kabir was in a relationship, and Vristi and I were in a relationship. As we were enjoying our time, suddenly Sam's, I mean Samantha's, phone started ringing. "Hello," Sam says and drags Vristi out with her.

BACK TO STORY:

Vristi's POV:

I was dragged by Samantha, and then she handed me the phone. The person on the phone started shouting at me. I recognized that it was my 'chief Michael.' "Mike, what's the prob?" I asked him

"HOW MANY FREAKING TIMES SHOULD I CALL YOU? WHAT IS YOUR PHONE FOR? THROW IT UNDER A TRAIN AND MEET ME BY 3 PM SHARP." He cuts the call. I look at Sam, who was laughing her ass off. "Shut the fuck up and come on, let's go." We again go inside and tell Zavian and Kabir that we have to leave, but to our coincidence, they say they have to leave too.

Vristi?? He says, "It's just 3:01; chill, I'm just 1 minute late." I said, "Whatever, meet Mr. Kiaan, chief of the Black Diamond group, and these 3 guys will be working with both Cyanide and Black Diamond. They will be working together on this project. Kiaan, please call your boys in."

We were so shocked when Sam and I saw those 3 guys; they could not recognize us due to the masks that we were wearing. I was so afraid they might recognize us, but thank God they did not. I never expected them to be here, and of course, they don't expect me and Samantha to be here either, but I don't know how to deal with this issue later. This will be so fucked up, and Samantha is, of course, going to do some drama, which can be either fake or real.

Kiaan, the chief of Black Diamond, started speaking. These were agents X, Y, and Z, and Michael, chief of Cyanide, introduced us as V, L, and S. The names were very confidential even though they explained to us the plan that there was a drug deal going on by Mr. Min and his right hand. Henry mingled 2 of the most powerful teams because Min is very powerful and dangerous. "Mike I need a backup team; we 6 can't deal with them. This will be useless and give them an alert." "You're underestimating us Agent V. We won't agree with you; if we do, it will be a disgrace to us. Sorry, but we won't agree with you." I was ready to argue with him, but both chiefs stop us and say we can do it by only 6, which I think is stupid... but I know we might be able to do this. Having backup for an emergency isn't something to be ashamed of. I know this plan will be useless, but I will try my best because I will be punished if I don't succeed in this. He will, of course, hit me to death...
