Chapter:14 Her last wish? Or Beginning of something beautiful?

If I had to choose between loving you and breathing, I would use my last breath to say I love you.

At ETF premises

Everyone is busy in their assigned tasks, Arjun and Sameer are going through the old files and trying to find the clues. Liza is in the lab and going through the autopsy and medical reports of patients. Because of high profile cases, Rathod is getting calls continuously from his senior officers so he had to move from the conference room to talk. On the other hand, Ayesha and Riya are checking the collecting of the R.K water purification center owner. Arjun is rubbing his forehead due to the throbbing headache, worry lines started to form on his forehead, and on top of that, they couldn't find clues with the XORA I case.

Riya is looking at Arjun with concern eyes, When Arjun feels some heated gaze on him, he looked up from the file to see the person. On the other side when Riya feels Arjun is looking up from the file to see her, to avoid his gaze she turned her head away from him, but Arjun's eyes linger on her more than necessary.

Riya's POV

Riya feels bad for him for few secs but brushed off her thoughts and started to mutter something inaudible.

"Don't feel pity for him. Just now Sir started to feel uneasy, so let him think and come back to you if he truly craves for you or at least to accept you in his life. Don't let him win over you always and let him taste his own medicines then only he can realize how difficult to stay away from someone whom we love from the heart."Riya's sane mind started to debate to heart.

" But he is desperate to look at you and he really feels bad and see look at him, he is trying to talk to you. So, Don't tremble him further "Her heart supported him like always.

" Don't listen to her. If he really feels bad, he would have talked to you already not just attempted to talk. Let him realize your worth and your place in his life and come back to you. You just can't imprison him with love always, because sometimes feelings should be mutual and reciprocal then you can lead a good life with him forever. Assumptions don't thirst the fire that was ignited by love, but true words would do."Her mind reasoned back.

"What if he never realizes his feelings and my worth in his life? What if he never sees me as a woman who is worthy of sharing his life? What if he never opens up his heart gates for me to enter into his life?. What if I force him to love me or reciprocates my feelings. I feel like I should not force him on the same side, I feel this is the only way I can bring him back on track. It feels this is right and wrong as well. I'm scared to think of the consequences " Her heart whispered to her rational mind.

"Sometimes people learn everything in a hard way though they have an easy way to know everything. If Arjun chooses a hard way to learn so let him choose and learn. Not all the routes to his heart are a dead end. Just focus on your work and if you think you can't make him understand in a polite way, then take the war and fight with him for you and for him also. To make him understand your place and his place in your lives. Fight but when you feel you don't have any option but till then let him fight for you and let him win you." Her mind advised her.

"Yes, you are right, at least one time let him fight for me.!" Her heart agreed with her heart.

....................................................................................................................................................................

Arjun looking at her changed expression with confused eyes and he couldn't stop himself so his eyebrows are rose at her.

"What?" with concerned eyes.

But Riya turned her head away, making him feel rejected. But their silent eyes talk is being interrupted by Liza's panic voice.

Liza is running from the lab to the conference hall and shouting for Rathod's name in panic. She almost stumbled on the floor in a hurry, but Sree caught her hand and steadied her. Liza is looking here and there to spot Rathod.

"Sir, You are R... Right!" Looking at Arjun she muttered in a breathless tone.

Others couldn't understand her so Sree gave her a glass of water and made her drink the water from the glass holding it near her lips. Once she empties the glass.

"Now tell us, but slowly!" Sree encouraged her to talk.

Rathod came to the conference hall disconnecting the call abruptly due to the noise in the conference room, especially Liza's panic voice.

"Arjun sir is right! The autopsy and medical reports of patients are matched with XORA my patients and the reports are 71% matching. The surprising fact is the virus structure is not matching completely with the previous virus." Liza explained to them.

"I told you Rathod. This case is related to XORA I, but it was planned by some other people" Arjun turned his head to Rathod and said with gritted teeth.

"Damn it! How could they play with innocent people's lives!" Rathod exclaimed in anger.

"Ayesha and Riya any clue about the owner of that company?" Rathod questioned them hoping to get a lead.

" No, sir. Mr. Rathan Kundra is the owner of that water purification center. The company has been in the market for 25 years without any faults and complaints and the business is quite successful in India as well. As per the reports, he seems to an honest person with clear hand and no history of corruption in his name as well" Ayesha concluded.

"Sir, one more information, a new person has joined that company 6 months back and he is the one who is handling the factory now because he earned a good name from Mr.Kundra.I feel there is something hidden motive behind that mystery person." Riya voiced out her suspiciousness for that mystery person.

"What is his name?" Arjun questioned her this time.

"Rajat" Riya said while looking at her diary.

"Yeah, you might be true, if any motive behind this we should get any call or threatening message from him, but nothing that sort of happened!" Chotu questioned no one in particular.

"We will decide that after reaching the factory and I feel if we go to the factory now at least we could gather some clue about this case, " Rathod confidently said.

"Let's move to the factory, team. Chotu arrange for back up force " Rathod ordered them.

"Yes, sir" Chotu whispered and the others nodded their head agreeing with him. Arjun started to feel nagging in the heart again and the negative thoughts started to resurface again.

At R.K factory

~After 1 hour~

ETF reached the factory which is outside of the city near water Banks of Mumbai. ETF moved inside the factory stealthily and they made local police wait outside for full coverage of the factory. The started to move inside the factory crossing the so many wastewater cans and recently filled water cans along with some utter waste, but they couldn't find a single human in the factory Until some muffled voice is heard somewhere in the factory. They got alerted after hearing the unusually silent, so they started to move towards that place hands holding up the pistols. After 10 mins they found the person who is tied up in the chair with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and both his hands and legs are tied with a rope in the chair.

"Hmmm" The mystery man started to wriggle out of the rope to free himself.

Looking at his struggle ETF's men started to open his ropes and set him free from the chair. Once they removed the cloth from his mouth and have a clear view of his face and to their utter shock, it is Mr.Rathan Kundra. He is struggling to breathe and wiping away the sweats that form on his forehead.

Without thinking, Rathod pointed his gun towards Rathan's head and shouted, "Truth! Why did you want to kill people? What is your motive?".

"Sir, Sir, I didn't do anything please don't kill me. He only did this. He just tricked me to join my factory and used my factory water to infect and supplied in Mumbai" Mr.Rathan replied frantically looking at the gun.

" Who?"This time Arjun shouted.

"Ra..... Rajat Sir. He joined my factory 6 months back as a quality engineer. But I never knew he would do this kind of illegal activity to kill people. He earned my trust fully so I had let him take over this factory during my absence. And he had used that opportunity when I was away from Mumbai for relative marriage. When I came back from Jaipur he was instructing workers to mix something in the water and I got suspicious, so I had questioned him, but he..." Rathan stopped in the middle.

"But?" Rathod questioned him dangerously.

"But he took hostage of my family and when I threatened him to send jail, he tied me in the chair and said I shouldn't open my mouth until his mission completes till then he would keep my family with him as a prey " Rathan started to cry hysterically thinking about his family.

"Please save my family and catch him before he drops the virus in the water bodies of Mumbai."Rathan pleaded ETF hurriedly.

"Why should we believe you? What if you are misleading us to escape from the law?" Ayesha questioned him suspiciously.

"No Madam. I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. Why would I lie about my family? If you have still doubts, take me under your custody, but please save my family and Mumbai people," Rathan pleaded them with folded hands.

"Chotu, hand him over to local police until this case solves and Liza, take a sample of water from here and test it for any infection or virus" Rathod ordered them while running a hand through his hairs.

After taking essential things from the factory ETF dashed out of the factory with a frustrated state. As instructed by Rathod, Rathan was handed over to the locale police.

Outside the Factory

"What we will do now? " Riya queried looking at Rathod.

" Damn it, we are stuck in the middle, Riya. We have so many water bodies in Mumbai! And we didn't know where to begin and whom to question? Except for his name we knew nothing about Rajat, not even his photo we got hold of it to search him or alert the local police" Saying this Rathod banged the bonnet of SUV irritatingly to ease the tension.

Suddenly his mobile started to ring making everyone look at him. Before answering the call Rathod saw the new number something inside him told to track the number so he motioned Sree to track the number once Sree showed his thumbs up to pick the call, he answered the call at the last ring.

"Hello?"Rathod addressed carefully.

" Helloo.ACP Rathod, How are you?" The caller asked him cheerfully.

"Who the hell are you?" Rathod exclaimed in anger.

"Tch, tch. Searching me in the entire Mumbai City and asking me who the hell are you? How you become a police officer when you couldn't identify criminals" Caller questioned hideously.

"Rajat?" Rathod Questioned him suspiciously

Other eyes widened after listening to the caller.

"Smart? So smart! Without telling my name you found it. I'm impressed, ACP. I have a question, what are you doing outside that factory? Don't tell me you are searching me over there?" Rajat questioned him amazingly

"Rajat, What the hell you want? Where the hell are you? What are you killing innocent people?"Rathod shouted in anger while fisting and unfisting his knuckles.

" Don't tell me? You didn't track my call with the help of your techy? If my assumption is true right now you are talking to me with the speaker on! And the whole ETF is listening to my talk! Right?" Rajat inquired in a fake amused tone.

"What the hell you want it from us, Rajat? Don't test our patience!" This time Arjun shouted in anger.

"Areey, ACP Rawte. Welcome to ETF. You have joined the Office after your injury?. Our bad, actually we thought to execute this plan when you were away. Since you came soon, so we let you join in the game!" Rajat said calmly like Arjun's anger is not affecting him in a bit.

"Are you stalking us?" Arjun questioned him irritatingly.

"Of course we are stalking the whole ETF clown because when you do some illegal work that is going to affect the entire Mumbai city, it should be done perfectly without any loopholes. Okay, let's talk about our negotiation" Rajat confidently talked.

" Manners, Rajat. Don't forget you are a criminal, and not in a position to talk about the demands.!" Rathod reminded him.

"Ohh, I see. But If I say that Mumbai people's lives are in my hand, after that also I don't have any rights to ask for demand?" Rajat smirked evilly.

"Don't dare, Rajat! Let's talk and don't do anything stupid!" Arjun warned him dangerously.

Sree tracked the location of the caller and muttered to Rathod, "Modak Sarkar river which is the main source of water for Mumbai municipality".

" I knew you guys would have found my location, but still let me confess to my own. Right now I'm standing next to the river and just 5 mins away from the water body and I could throw this virus ball in the water silently and the rest is history " Rajat started to laugh evilly to irritate further.

"Modak Sarkar, if by mistake your techy unable I find my location. I must say the water here is so pure and I couldn't imagine if the virus just touched the water, What would happen? God, So interesting!" Rajat replied cruelly.

"Okay, okay. What is your demand? Till this problem sort out, you stay away from the river. If you didn't keep your word just forget that you will be alive in this world."Rathod warned him dangerously.

" Wow. What an emotion! My demand is simple, Release my brothers who are in the Jail now. Four of them without any scratch and I will make sure not to drop this virus ball in the river" Rajat demanded seriously.

"Who are your brothers? You can't just order around us, Rajat, and walk away." Arjun said with gritted teeth while trying to control his anger.

"Simple, Release Manishek's brothers, and I promise you that I drop the plan of infecting Mumbai water with the virus" Rajat growled in anger.

An audible gasp was heard listening to the names of the accusers.

" They are bloody attackers who did the Mumbai bomb blast in school and killing innocent kids. Do you expect us to release them?"Arjun roared like a lion.

"I just told you my demand simple, or else forget about Mumbai. Because this virus will kill all the people, including kids, women, elder people. As per the lawsuit, we should not hurt them right, but I will target them first and you guys can't stop us. Let me tell you a secret without blood transfusion we cannot save people and how many people can afford blood purification? And how many people you can save after this.?Trust me, just 5% of the people you guys can save. So just listen to me and release them. Final!"Rajat pointed out each datum to threaten them.

" Don't dare! We need time to talk to your higher officials before releasing them, and We just can't release criminals just like that. We need time!" Rathod demanded him.

Arjun glared at Rathod hardly like 'Don't accept their demands '.

"Just 2 hours if they are not in front of myself. I will throw this Virus in the water. Don't take me lightly, I will do it and I meant it. I'm warning you guys" Rajat warned him.

Without waiting for Rathod's reply he disconnected the call. After hearing the beep sound from the other end Rathod shouted, "hello! You can't do this, you can't simply order us and disconnect the call!".

"Damn it, Damn it! How dare he is?" Saying he throw the mobile in anger, but Chotu catches it on time before it kisses the floor.

"I will call the commissioner and would ask him to release Manishek's brothers!" Rathod determined and tried to call Commissioner.

"No, Rathod!" Arjun shouted to stop him.

"No, Rathod sir!" Riya shouted from another side to stop him.

"We can't accept all his demands. He is dangerous instead of accepting his demands, we have to reach the river to stop him before he does anything with the water!" Riya tried to make her senior to understand the situation in a delicate manner.

"Riya is right! We just can't release them!" Arjun added more supporting Riya.

"Then what I have to do? Watch Mumbai people die after drinking that infected water? And feel pity for them! , I can't do that, I just can't see people suffering without any fault, So we have left with no options but to agree with Rajat!" Rathod screamed back at them.

They understood the delicate situation they are in now and not sure how to handle that also.

"They are right anyways, sir. But first, you call the commissioner sir and inform him about Rajat's demands. At the same time, we will leave for River and try to catch hold of Rajat and his men." Ayesha suggested them looking at their angry faces.

Rathod nodded his head before calling Commissioner. He explains everything from the start of Rajat joining in Rathan factory to Rajat's demands to release Manishek's brothers.

"Mukesh sir told he will get back to us after speaking to a higher official till then we can go to the river, " Rathod declared while moving towards the car.

Before taking the driver's seat he looked at his team who is standing a few feet away from him," We will work as a team so don't spread without another member, and Be careful! Because we didn't know how many people surrounded the place utilizing the trees and shed at the river. So careful"

The concern is dripping in his voice and the fear of something happening to his team is inevitable. So others just nodded their head affirmatively including Arjun. They left in two cars to the destination.

A Modak sarkar River

~1 hour ~

ETF reached the place along with back up forces and they started to look for Rajat and his men in the isolated place of the river but they couldn't spot anyone.

"No one is here" Sree frustratingly said while looking around the place.

After ETF reached the place they are surrounded by goons with pistols, rods, and wooden sticks.ETF started to fight with the goons soon finishing off all the crowds of Rajat's people and moving inside the shed which is located on the other side of the river.

"Let's move to that place. I guess that must be the motor operation room. We may find Rajat over there!" Arjun declared pointed out the cement shed.

Agreeing with Arjun they all started to move towards that place as a team. Like Ayesha, Liza one group. Sree and Chotu together. Arjun and Riya together. Rathod moved alone to find the Rathan's family much to others' protest.

Rajat hadn't realized that ETF entered into the shed because he is busy talking to someone over the phone, by looking at his face it seems the caller is his boss. So he didn't notice ETF covered the shed with local police. He kept the virus ball on the table and showing his back to others, he is talking on the phone. Arjun and Riya saw him and Riya stealthily moved to his side and took the virus ball in the gloved hand not even listening to Arjun's protest.

"Riya!" He gave her a sharp glare for her carelessness.

She just shrugged her shoulders like 'No problem'.

On the other side, Rajat's other men were getting defeated by the ETF. Though Rajat heard the sound behind him acted obliviously and calmly winded off the call. Without turning his head to Ariya's side, he used the other way to reach them behind to attack them and to distract Arjun as well. As he planned Arjun followed him begin to catch him leaving Riya alone with the Virus ball in her hand.

Using the short cut Rajat reached the place which is behind Riya and Arjun has lost the way and searching him in the shed frantically. Before Riya could stuff the virus ball into the plastic bag, Rajat takes hold of her by hair hardly. Riya's face is a horror-stricken when she saw Rajat caged her but nevertheless didn't show on her face.

"Leave me. I'm ordering you, leave me!" Riya shouted in anger and tried to wriggle out of his clutch.

Rajat pulled her hair tighter and dragged her out of the shed and shouting," ETF, come out of the shed! Right now!. Your officer is with me".

Hearing his voice everyone run outside while leaving Rajat motioned his eye to Munnah his assistant to call other men who are all hiding in the river banks. Except Rathod ETF came outside because he is busy searching for Rathan's family in the basement. After coming out of the shed, they started to look for others when they couldn't spot Riya among fear started to engulf them. Arjun searched frantically for Riya.

When Rajat came along with Riya in gunpoint everyone looked at them murderously.

"RIYA" Arjun whispered in a panic looking at her face.

"Leave her! Otherwise, the consequences won't be good!" Arjun warned him with gritted teeth.

"ETF is a liar. I clearly told you to come here with my brothers, not with the police and you guys did exactly what I refused! Haven't I warned before? Your time is out because of the little stunt you guys pulled out here " Rajat shouted back.

"No, we need time to get approval from officials before releasing your men! Till then leave her " Arjun said calmly to be trying to control his anger cause Riya is in the gunpoint. One wrong move she will be in grave danger.

"Drop your guns! Everybody! If not I will shoot her!" Rajat demanded.

Looking at Riya's face without thinking everyone dropped their pistols. Rajat motioned his eye to Munnah and he holds Arjun tightly from the back using 3well-built men. He pushed pistol to Riya's head to scare her. Even Chotu, Sree, Ayesha, and Liza are forcefully held by Rajat's men.

"Leave her you ba****. I will kill you" Arjun roared like a caged lion.

"I will leave her, but ask her to drop the virus ball into the river. Simple!" Rajat said cunningly.

"I will die, but that will never happen!" Riya murmured difficulty because of his grasp.

Arjun is wriggling and twirling to come out of the clutches of Munnah.

"ACP one wrong move. Your subordinate head would explode and I promise you that! Don't expect mercy from me. If we could kill kids she is nothing in front of us!" Rajat warned him boldly.

Rathod who was struck with few men inside the shed while escorting Rathan's family came out and seeing his whole team condition without thinking he started to run towards them. Munnah silently placed the gun on Arjun's head likewise every member of the ETF is at the gunpoint. Riya horrified looking at her team.

"See your squad under our custody just throw the virus ball in the river. I promise to leave them alive without a scratch." Rajat trying to divert Riya's mind.

Riya closed her eye for a moment and recollected all the moments she spent with her family and friends, Arjun, Choree, and ETF. Without any seconds or what so ever she gulped down the virus ball to save them and her nation.

Rathod reached the spot at the nick time when Riya is gulping down the virus, he just shoots Munnah in the head because he feels if he shoots Rajat Riya will be affected. Everyone shocked when Riya gulped down the virus without thinking and this horrified Rajat so he tries to trigger the gun towards Riya's side.

"NO, NO" Arjun shouted in anger and freed himself with all the force from the attackers who are holding. Rajat looked at the girl who is slipping away from his arms due to the effect of the virus. Before he could do anything Arjun shot him straight on the Rajat's head, taking away his last breath. When Rajat was falling on the ground drop-dead and their men started to run, but ETF and local police had shot some of them in a blink of eyes.

Riya fell down on the ground due to the effect of the virus and looking at her Arjun's knees are giving up and he slumped on the ground in a thud. His knuckles are wobbling up and he couldn't stand on his feet He crawled all the way to reach Riya's half-conscious figure on the ground.

Others look at the scene with glistening eyes and Choree is uncontrollable looking at her face. The girls are crying, holding each other hand tightly, whereas the pillar of an ETF is broken and his face looks defeated. He shoots Munnah to divert Rajat so that they could have killed him, but taking that as a moment Riya gulped down the virus. He regrets not to shoot Rajat before.

After reaching Riya, Arjun placed her head in his lap carefully not hurting her in any way.

"Why? Why? Why you did that? Asking these questions he started to hit the ground hardly thrice until it bleeds in blood.

He hugged Riya close to his heart, fearing that she would vanish in the thin air if he didn't hold her now. Tears clouded his vision and fear of losing her permanently engulfed him. The biggest fear in his life after he met her after realized that certainly without her he can't leave, because of that fear how many times he pushed her to edges and loneliness and grief. Everything is happening now, whatever he never wants to happen in his entire existence.

" I....I'm okay " Riya murmured under her breath.

Looking at Riya's difficulty in taking a breath and fear started to engulf him. He started to wipe away his tears with the back of his hand, he effortlessly lifted her petite frame from the ground in his arms.

"Sameerr.... Get the car ready!" Arjun shouted in desperation.

Rathod is not sure whether to happy that his best friend called him with all the right or to get sad thinking about Riya who is half-conscious and fighting for life. Life is playing games with people when they are not ready each other binds them together in a string when they are ready to accept each other openly separating them to an extent where the pain can't be cured at all.

Rathod nodded his head and brought the car near Ariya. Looking at the pale face of Sree, Ayesha said, "Go with Sameer. We will come with Chotu"

Chotu nodded his head slightly while wiping away the tears and he knew this moment to be strong not to lose hope.

"Thank... you, Madam!" Sree whispered inaudible tone with glistening eyes.

"She will be okay, Sree!" Liza assured him with tears filled eyes.

Sree nodding his head moved to Rathod's car to sit next to the co-driver seat. On the other side, Arjun sits on the back seat with half-conscious Riya in his arms tightly. Once he was sure they are comfortable and started the car's engine menacingly to reach the hospital earlier. Ayesha and Liza sit in another ETF car and Chotu started the engine following Rathod.

In the car.

Arjun softly pats Riya's cheeks to make her not to lose her consciousness fully.

"Don't close your eyes! Please..!" Arjun begged her in a desperate voice looking at her pale face.

"You scare... Scare to lose ME, Ri... Right!" Riya mumbled looking at his brown eyes which are now clouded with tears.

Arjun couldn't understand her fully so he looked at her confused. So Riya pulled his right sleeve to get his undivided attention to her and moved closer to him.

"You are scared to lose me, Right!"Riya questioned him in a single breath with great difficulty.

"YES.."

" YES, YES...I...I'm afraid to lose you in my life " Arjun confessed one of his truth to her honestly.

Riya closed her eyes in content listening to his true words and smiled softly.

"Don't... Don't close your eyes. Please. Try to open your eyes. We will reach the hospital soon and you will be alright " Arjun tried to assure her, but he doesn't know these words to Riya or to himself which is trembling in fear of losing her.

Riya opened her eyes with difficulty and whispered back, "Ha.. .happy!"

Arjun nodded his head and tears started to spill from his brown orbs without control. So Riya moved her left hand to his cheeks and wiped off his tears.

"Now say that 'YOU TRUST ME', Riya Just like other days whenever I need of it. Please " Arjun demanded her with anxiety.

Her trust in him is the biggest support after he joined ETF. The immovable Trust on him whenever Rathod looks at him disapprovingly or other team members look at him with the unsure look, but her trust on him made him go for his target even he is not sure about it. Just like her love for him, her trust in him is the biggest strength in his life.

Riya nodded her head like 'NO'.

Arjun started to shake is head vigorously and whispered in hopelessness, "No..No..Now you say 'I TRUST YOU, ARJUN ' ".

Looking at his distress face, Riya closed her eyes in pain. And her sister's words keep on ringing in her ears. The conversation which she had with her 6 months ago, when she met Arjun for the first time after 8 years of pain and loneliness.

"Sometimes, it's good to let your feelings out of the system without any barriers or any second thoughts. Because emotions which were unsaid breaks more hearts rather than the emotions which was said."

She opened her eyes in determination and pulled Arjun to closer to him using the shirt collar and make him look at her.

"If I ask you something will be able to give me, Arjun?" Riya whispered looking at his face.

"Don't waste your energy in talking. We would talk everything once you are cured till then save your energy," Arjun whispered back to calm her down.

She pulled his collar again with irritation, "Will You..?"

Riya closed her eyes, but desperately fighting to look at him.

"Don't close your eyes!" Arjun pleaded her in fear.

"What if I say this is my last wish?" Riya whispered in a breathless tone.

Arjun shook his head frantically not accepting her assumption.

"Then also you won't fulfill my..wish?" Riya mumbled under her breath.

"Just don't close your eyes. I will do anything for you, Just ANYTHING!" Arjun promised her in a breathless tone

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Nothing will happen to you! I will save you. Trust me, please."

She smiled at him with clouded eyes.

"MAR... MARRY ME!" Riya said in one go with a breathless tone.

Arjun looked at her again thinking that he misheard her words looking at shock face. She chuckled softly.

"MARRY ME!" She whispered looking at his brown eyes which are filled with love, care, and desperation for her.

"What? We will talk about everything later!" Arjun tried to divert her mind.

"N..No, Answer Me!" Riya demanded adamantly.

"Riya" Arjun pleaded her.

"MARRY ME! RIGHT NOW and RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT!" Riya demanded him.

Silence prevailed in the car. Arjun closed his eyes in pain. He is in a dilemma about whether to accept her not. Though he wants to accept her wholeheartedly.

"Riya, Please"

"Arjun, please "

"Think this as my last wish. I don't have much time left with you. In this life, I couldn't get your love, but while leaving this world, I want to have your surname with me. I want someone to address me your wife at least for once. Do the privilege and I don't want to die with an unfulfilled dream and wishes " Riya pleaded him.

"I promise to marry you after you healed and we have to leave for the hospital now! We don't have time for anything!" Arjun tried to make her understand the situation they are under.

Listening to his stupid excuses Riya is going mad in anger and tried to push Arjun's muscular arms with are surrounded on her.

"Then leave me right now. Don't touch me. Let me die in pain here itself. I don't want to go anywhere! Just leave me, I say. Who the hell are you? Why do you care for me? " Riya sobbed making Arjun heart to bleed for her misery.

"Sometimes the love we have for another person for a long time doesn't make any sense, though we had loved them truly at a certain point in our life. But, the love and the emotions we feel for the new person in the short span of time make a hell lot of sense".

His parent's words started to ring like a bee. And he decided it's now or never in this life so accepted his defeat in front of her selfless love.

"Okay... Okay. I MARRY YOU RIGHT NOW AND RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT " Arjun surrender himself finally letting his steel walls crumble down at her feet defeating.

"I ACCEPT MY DEFEAT!" Arjun cried in pain looking her black eyes.

Riya gave him one of her favorite dimple smiles to melt his heart yet again and he carefully placed her head on the car rest while uncaging her from his strong grip. Arjun removed the chain which he is used to wearing on his neck that was gifted by Veer's sir when he accomplished the first mission of his without any fault. The chain is made of platinum with an 'A' symbol attached to it. The most treasured gift in his life and he almost never removed from his neck after that day. This is a token of appreciation from his godfather Veer. He feels this is right to remove and use this as a token of their marriage, which is the first step towards his life with Riya. He didn't feel any hesitation to make her wear it.

He carefully made Riya wear the chain while clasping the hook around her neck, his brown eyes didn't leave her black eyes not even for seconds, and capturing her happiness in his brown eyes forever to relish the memory.

"Happy Now?" Arjun whispered to her while wiping off her tears using his right hand and hold her tightly in waist using the left-hand to preventing her not to fall due to her fragile condition.

Riya hugged him tightly and shifted her full weight on him and breathed in his manly scent.

"Yeah, more than anything" Riya breathed against his chest.

"Now say that 'I TRUST YOU '" Arjun whispered in her ears.

Riya smiled in content and created a little distance from him before looking at his face and nodded her head making him confused. She slightly pushed his face to one side so that she can whisper something in his left ear.

"I LOVE YOU, ARJUN. Always and forever. You're the reason for my existence!." Riya whispered carefully and her voice so feeble no one can hear her except Arjun in the car.

Confessing her love she kissed Arjun's left cheek softly. Thus making Arjun control broke loose and tears rolled down freely.

" Please now tell me that my love is not one-sided and unreciprocated! I knew you do love me, in fact, more than myself, but I want to hear it from you, at least just once before leaving this world!"Riya cried along with him.

Their met, her care, and her unconditional love without expecting anything from him except his love, and his care. Everything started to flash in front of his eyes like a movie. Again his parents' word started to ring in his head.

"Light enters into where the wound is unhealed. Let the sunshine enter into your life when the twilight is surrounded in your life. Life is too short to regret, Arjun. Accept the change in you and accept the person whoever brings upheaval in you "

He knew this the moment to let off his insecurities and to confess to her his love or the untamed emotions and desires, he feels for this woman before the moment slips away from his hand.

"You are my everything, Riya! I didn't know when you started to break my walls of heart, but you did it anyway. I'm afraid I can't live without you. I'm afraid it would break me in pieces if you leave me alone in this world..I'm afraid to lose you and you're the existence of my life, I didn't know when this happened? And why it happened? But it happened without my vivid knowledge. I tried all the possible ways to push you away from me but I couldn't succeed in a single plan."

"So Do you hear me? You're the existence of my life and you are my everything. Please don't leave me like her, please!" Arjun pleaded her desperately in a breathless tone and holding her tightly in his arms.

"You're more than anything, I could ask for in my life! Just Stay with me." Arjun said with sincerity lacing in his voice.

When he didn't get acknowledge from her, he removed her face, which is resting on his chest and saw her pale face with a horror-stricken face. But he is not sure whether she listens to his confession or not, at least a single word, but looks like she didn't listen to him.

But destiny is playing a cruel game when he has confessed his true feelings for her finally without any fear and here she is unconscious completely in his arms.

"Riya, "

"Riya"

"Riya"

He patted her cheeks continuously to bring her to conscious again.

"Please wake up! Please. Don't leave me just like her " Arjun cried in pain looking at her.

"YOU CAN NOT BREAK PROMISE LIKE HER!"

"You can't. You just can not..!" Saying this Arjun hugged barely breathing Riya's body tightly.

From the time they started to talk Rathod and Sree never interrupted their talks and they remained silent throughout the journey like gentlemen. Both of them praying for Ariya because they know if something happens to Riya then the most affected person would be Arjun. So if Arjun has to live a peaceful life, Riya has to cure soon before Arjun loses a rational mind and going insane with madness.

Rathod and Sree's eyes started to tear up looking at his devastating stage. For Sree, he knew Arjun as an attitude person with a rude person, but with a good soul. This is something he never imagined in his wild dream that his loving and caring side for his best friend Riya. Rathod knew him as a different person after her sister's death until Riya entry in his life.

"Please save her if not Arjun sir will be in pain forever!" Sree prayed to God.

Listening to Arjun's pleading to Riya, Rathod is wiping away his tears, again and again. His tears are blocking him to see the road.

"Please keep her safe at least for him. Otherwise, he will break down beyond repair. Please !" Rathod prayed to God while driving the car.

He does know if something happens to her even a scratch to Riya the most affected person would be Arjun now. After this Arjun would be a living corpse.

"Rathod drive fast! She is unconscious!"Arjun's voice is hoarse due to crying.

Arjun started to muttered something inaudible to her unconscious frame," You will be okay! I promise nothing will happen to you!"

"Arjun's promise!" Whispering this he kissed her forehead tightly.

He cleaned her face using his rough palm and wiped off his tears to show others that he is strong.

Chotu is following the Rathod's car behind. Ayesha and Liza are crying softly whereas Chotu's eyes filled with unshed tears still he concentrates on the road.

After 25 mins of travel, Rathod stopped the car at the hospital entrance. During the entire ride, Arjun is unusually silent. He carefully wiped off her sweating face with his rough palm and wiped off his unshed tears with the back of his hand and mumbling encouraging words to Riya's unconscious body holding her tightly by the waist and asking her not to give up on him just for one last time. It's a painful sight to watch for Rathod and Sree. Arjun is breaking down piece by piece, but not showing on his face.

Once the car stopped at the hospital gates Arjun gets down from the car lifting Riya's barely breathing unconscious body in his strong arms carefully not to hurt her.

"Doctors!" Arjun shouted top of his voice holding Riya's soft body and inviting all the doctors at the doorstep.

The Fourteen part of "All in Me" is out. Please read the chapter and do let me know your thoughts on the same.

Thank you, everyone, who liked and commented on my previous chapters. Please like and comment on this too, all the comments are welcome here.

I was nervous while writing Ariya 's moment in this part because I don't want to write something out of their characters and ruining the beautifulness of the story. I really wish you guys would like this chapter and even if you feel this is overexaggerated or out of their characters please let me know I'm eagerly waiting for your comments. Even Silent readers please like the button and do drop your comments here. It's a nail-biting moment for me to read your comments.

About the XORA II, it's purely my imagination and I had just used the name Rajat. Nothing else I was aware of it more than his name and I'm not sure that name is correct or not.

The next part will be updated depends on your comments only cause I'm doubtful that you like this change or not.

Note: Sorry for the grammar and sentence mistakes.
