Eclipse Of Hearts : The Wonder Of A Dark World

"Raghvan! I swear to god if you don't stop singing, I'm gonna kill you!"

I screamed at his face and pushed him on the bed. Only I know how difficult it was to hold up this hundred kilogram man and bring him inside the mansion, that too in a drunk state

Rashvi ma'am dozed off in her room as soon as uncle Khushveer took her inside. But this old doofus, is just singing the same song at the highest volume

"Oh rang barse-"

"SHUT UP!"

I scolded him and he stopped immediately. Wow! Was it that easy all this time?

"Why are you disrespecting music like this, Van! Lata Mangeshkar ki aatma bhi mar gayi Hai tumhari Awaaz Sunkar!"

[Even the soul of Lata Mangeshkar has died after listening to your voice!]

He lowered his gaze and stared at the floor as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world. I sighed, finally after what feels like an eternity, my ears are at peace

Taking the opportunity, I went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of lemon juice.

"Natasha!"

I turned back instinctively and found Viha ma'am standing there. As soon as I saw her face, the image of her and Samrat sir kissing each other so passionately came into my mind again

I am so happy that she has found a home for herself. This world is a cruel place. And out of everyone I have ever known, she is the only person who have seen the cruelties of this world just like me

"Yes ma'am?"

"How's Rashvi and Raghvan?"

"Well uncle took Rashvi ma'am to her room. And I am taking the cure of Raghvan"

I tapped at the glass and she nodded slightly. There was a different charm in her eyes today, the one I would always want her to have, the one that I had whenever Van made a move on me

"Stay here for today. Once everything is settled down I have something to talk about with you"

"Ok ma'am"

With a slight nod, I went towards the room. But as I entered inside, it was- empty? Where the hell is Van now?

I put the glass on the side table and looked around the room. Something seemed suspicious. It's not him. Not some fun trick that Raghvan is pulling up

My hand instinctively rested on my waist, grazing the gun strapped under my clothes. I looked around the room, every corner.

I stepped towards the other side of the bed when suddenly, my foot got tangled into something, making me fall with my face down

I immediately took out my gun and turned behind, sitting straight on the floor with my gun pointed straight

There he was sitting on the floor, clutching his shoulder tightly. Blood flew out of a deep cut from there as he pressed more and more onto it. Beside him, the dead body of a man laid, a knife in his motionless hand and neck twisted at a weird angle.
