Epilogue

"Is that a letter from Germany?" Ragini asked curiously. She noticed every month Raunak used to get an official government letter from Germany. But he never mentioned it anyhow.

Raunak took a deep breath and snatched it from her hand, "It is. Not for you."

"That's rude. Not that I was going to see your things." She pouted a little, "By the way That's my birthday. I want something from you."

"I will give it unless you ask for a boyfriend at the age of 18."

"Not like that. I want to see aunty's awards. I noticed you never opened them..I wonder why." She raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Because she never liked to open it. And no way. You are not going to touch it." Raunak tried hard to control his anger but it was not possible anymore.

Ragini didn't know what's with those awards. Raunak used to stay out of India half of the month. All of his things were accessible except those. Naturally it grew curiosity indise her.

"Why are you scolding me like this? I just wanted to see those. It's okay if you don't want." She bit her lips not to cry. Raunak was never that rude. Deep noticed Raunak's voice and hurriedly went to the room. He didn't assume to see Ragini crying.

"Rag, I'm sorry." Raunak punched his hand on the table, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to scold you. I just couldn't control."

Deep was looking at them curiously. If Ragini was wrong, he would never meddle. Raunak had rights on her.

"What happened?" Deep asked.

"I wanted to see aunty's awards and uncle got mad."

Deep looked at her with horror. That's the last thing they wanted. There was only one secret they kept from her. It was not possible to let her know. Never.

Raunak looked at him helplessly. He wanted to cry, scream, shout and a lot. He didn't know what to do.

"Rag, go to your room." Deep order. She didn't know why they were acting wired. But at that moment, she lost interest.

When Ragini went outside the room, Raunak collapsed on the floor. He was crying out of his life, "Why Drishti needed to do those? Why? I don't want Ragini to know about all these. She can't handle it."

Deep didn't know what to say, "Did again the letter come?"

Raunak could only nod, "Can you give me some time alone?"

Without any word, Deep went out the room. The moment the door was closed, Raunak opened the luggage. Still awards after awards were lying on it. Just no one was there to feel proud abd annoyed at the same time. Except those awards and crests, there was one thing more, a confession letter.

Dear Raunak,

Maybe when you are reading this letter, I'm already dead. I know I will die. I can feel my condition. So I planned to commited all of my crimes. Do you remember, I murdered someone? That person who raped Dhara. We always say, rape is a rape, nothing matters. Like this, murder is a murder nothing, matters. I'm not feeling guilty for killing that bastard. But that's crime. No matter how bad he was, I had no right to snatch his life from him. Maybe you won't agree as you love me a lot, you will think I gave him the punishment of his deeds. I was right, but believe me. I was wrong. Murder is a crime and I am a criminal. After killing him, I did a background check. I found he had a wife suffering from cancer, he had a two years old kid. That man was the only earing member. I know he was not a good person, but maybe his wife and child deserved a better life. I am their sinner. I couldn't gibe them the punishment for that bastard's deeds. I used to send them money every month. If they lose their livelihood for me, I will feel guilty. I made a lot of money. I was really miser girl not to use those. all of those money I thought to give them. After my death, every month an amount will reach them calculating the money status of Germany until my account turns nil. I don't know when will you find this letter, maybe it will be so late or maybe not. So I created all those papers and I think my money could afford at least 15 years for them. If anytime that money finishes, can you send them money on my behalf?

Okay, now another important think. I hope you have got a letter from German police or if not you will get it soon. I commited my crimes, that murder abd sent the confession to them. I know I don't have much time. So according to my calculations, when they will reach here, I will be no more. Tell them, I was never sorry for killing him. But I'm sorry for his family. Maybe one time they won't need the money, but still my soul will find a little happiness. And forgive me. I didn't give you much time. And if you find someone better than me, just make her a part of your life. I am dead, I don't know if there's afterlife or not, if there is ,I will wait for you there. Forgive me. And.....I love you.

Yours,

Drishti

Raunak sighed. Drishti thought she would die. But she never died. She was alive still she was away from him. Maybe her death would hurt less than it. Raunak wondered how could she accept death that easily. She thought herself as a murderer. She knew Raunak would never agree. But for him, she was the best and kindest person ever. She even told him to find another girl. But she was still alive, how could he forget about her? How could he move on?

Now if she wakes up, police will come and arrest her. Maybe many situations and proofs can make her proof innocent but he knew Drishti. If she was taken to the court, she would confess everything. Raunak didn't want that either. He wanted her with him, like they were. But she created her own trap. She wanted all these. He had nothing to say. But he was sure of one thing, if she goes to the jail anytime, he will kill someone in Germany and go there with her. Though a childish thought.

But he never wanted Ragini to know about Drishti's dark side. That's why he got excited back then. What to do? Drishti was still his weakness and still his biggest strength. Maybe for the only reason he was grateful to Dadu, still that's the only reason he hatred her most. He will love her regardless of any situation of circumstances. And that's how they were, their love had no ending, it was eternal.
