2 months later

I was tapping my foot on the ground , my legs was shivering , I bite my nails as I carefully wait for the results ,  i re-read the packet to know all the instruction clearly

single line (not pregnant ) double line ( pregnant )

its been a month since I had my last periods , I didn't told Alwar about it , because I wanted to clear it myself .

I was anxiously waiting for the results , as i bite my nails

" oh my god " I put my hand on my mouth , as tears rolls down my eyes  as i saw two line ,

i dropped the test kit and pace around the room

i have a baby inside me , I have Alwar's baby inside me , how he will react??? I know he will be happy , he himself told me that he want baby

my Alwar will have his child , he will be father ,oh god , everyone will be so happy and shock

how should I tell Alwar ??

I will tell him in person , I am going to give him his lunch anyways , I will tell him there .

I excitedly , went inside my room to get dressed  , I should wear something casual .

I can't wait to see Alwar's reaction

••~••

I traced my hands on all the beautiful designs, my Stella's hand very delicate, So I need something like that for her

" Are you here to buy , ring sir " the lady asked me , I smiled and said " yes "

" Wow , the girl must be lucky to have someone like you " she said, " actually, I am lucky to have someone like her " I replied .

She watched me in awe .

"Which type of ring you want sir " she asked

" actually, my Stella's hand is really thin , and her fingers are long and slim , her hand is really white , so I want something that will shine of her hand, and please make sure it doesn't weigh much , because My Stella's hand is thin , she can break her fingers, and yes please something that is strong also ,and whose shine don't go away because Stella work too much , so she needs a ring that can bear her lifestyle " I replied , when I was done , her expression change into confusing , her eyebrows knotted together and she bow down saying

" Let me bring something to you "

~•~

"Not this "

" Neither this "

" No "

"NO"

NO"

I have been here from half hour , and I still couldn't find a ring worth for Stella ,

" You guys have really bad collection " I said " sir we have the most varieties of collection, you won't find it anywhere else " the manager said

"Then why can't I get something I want " i said " sir there is one ring left. And that ring is really really expensive, it's made up of orginal meteor stone " he said " I am worried that you won't be able to afford it " he added

I bring a blank check out and sign it.  And throw it on his face .

" Bring me the ring " I said , he quickly picked up the check and rush to take the ring , .

*~*~*~*~**~**~*

The ring was golden box, once I opened it my eyes fell on shine black and greyish stone , hanging on Silver band , the band was designed as old architecture walls, and the stone was perfectly fixed on it. .

" That's it , I will take it ' I said , it's a perfect ring for my Stella ,

a meteor ring for my universe.

I took the  and came out of store , and now I have to go back to my office , I rushed towards my car and hop inside .

I once again took a glance at the ring , I quickly pull out a paper and wrote a letter to Stella , I know i am bad at words , but I will write my feelings for her in letter .

I fold the letter and put it will box inside my pocket

Today I will propose her

I broke out of my thoughts, when my phone rang , it must be Stella .

I pull it out and it was Stella

" Hello " I said

" Alwar , where are you ??" She asked

" I came outside the office, now going back " I said

" okay , I have to tell you something " she said , " say baby " I replied

" Not like this , I will tell you when I will come during lunch time " she said. And I laughed "come fast then " I said  " okay then, go to office I will meet you there  " she said , and ended the call .

A smiled formed on my lips ,

today is going to be great day

I started my car and rushed towards my office .

__________________________

As soon as I entered my huge building, I get several of greetings from my employees. They all are now very comfortable with me , they actually even complimented me that the work environment is better under my watch

I walked through corridor towards lift , but stopped dead in tracker , something I off today .

I turn around to see the hallway, the employees was busy with there work, and everything was looking normal , but I don't know why something is not setting right.

Ignoring my gut ,I pressed the button, the lift was quick to open as I climbed on it fast .

After few seconds I reached to my floor , as soon as I stepped out ,I knew something is not right ,

The whole hallway of this floor was empty, there wasn't single human here, I walked forward only to meet dead silent corridor , it was so silent that the voice of my shoe was sounding like drum beat.

I gulp as I pull out my phone , and quickly dialled Novail's number.

He picked it up after third ring

" Yes boss. " He said " come to office on 10 floor , something is not alright , and don't tell anyone " I said. Novail. Didn't said anything, but I was hearing ruffling noise.  Which made sure that he is coming .

I walked further, when I heard a footstep , I stopped right there , but before I could turn around the whole building shook with gun shot .

I quickly ran and hide behind the wall. I took a peek and saw none other. Than Leon De Luca

" Surprise motherfucker " he said " fucking shit " I hissed to myself.

" I told you to kill me , because if I survive none of you Bastards will " he said , following his voice there was also noise of glass breaking, he is vandalizing my property also .

" Come out , Alwar , you was very brave to beat me to death. IT TOOK ME FIVE MONTHS TO RECOVER". He shouts, and shiver ran down to my spine , this sick bastard is scary , if the old Alwar would have been here, it would be a complete different story. He won't be scared to sacrifice his life.  But this new Alwar have alot to lose , so like hell he will risk his life

" I am not alone today. There are alot of my man  here, bitch come out " he said and then he fires the gun , he know I am behind this wall

" My man is also on there way, you bastard " I shout from behind the wall

Before I could say anything else , something huge hit my head from behind ,

I groaned in pain , as I turned around, to see three man holding a bat .

I couldn't even recover from the impact , that they again hit the bat and was hitting me without taking the break .

He raised his bat again and this time I hold it with both of my hands and Kicked the man in his stomach , I snatched the bat and now it was my turn to take the charge.

I started hitting them, and beat the shit out of them from head to toe , they were easy to handle and in few minutes they passed out on ground.

I threw the bat and took a heavy breathe and turn around, I couldn't even turned around properly when I heard a gun shot, and this time it was very close , my body went rigid as a sharp pain arouse from my stomach. I raised my and touch the area that was hurting , and something watery touch my hands

I raised my hands towards my face , only to see  blood!

" You are dead " Leon said as he again shoot , but this time I was quick enough to Dodge it .

I hide again behind the wall ,and slide down to the floor , because it was getting hard to stand up , the pain was too much to even breathe .

I groan in pain , when I heard Leon's footsteps, but before he could come closer , another series of gun shot can be heard , following Novail's voice

I took a breathe in relief , my buddy is here .

I stand up from the ground, to enter the battlefield, but before that I need to save my queen.

I pull out my phone and dialled Stella's number , the phone started ringing and she picked right away

" Hello " she said " where are you baby " I asked I tried to control my voice , I don't want her to even guess that I am In pain

"I am on my way " she said , I breathe heavy and said " Actually, I forgot something" I said , my voice was on verge of breaking .

" What you did forgot? '" she asked " I forgot one of my file at home.   Can you please get it for me ??? It must be in second drawer of Almira " I said

" Oh okay, let me turn back " she said " if you are hungry you can eat, because I will be late now " she said in sad voice , that's what exactly I want baby

" Stella" I said , blowing air " yes" she asked " I love you " I said, if this is me last time talking to her. I need to say this to her " I love you more Alwar " she replied and I smiled

I ended the call, and come out , I can see Novail becoming John wick and making my whole office a mess .

" YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS LEON". I shout , Leon turns towards me with a evil smirk as he raised his gun again at me , but this time Novail , was behind him and he snatched the gun away .

"Fuck " león cussed and tried to fight with Novail , I got my chance , I rushed towards novail's side and helped him .

León's men was fast enough to come into his rescue .

"How many people we have ??" I asked Novail , " more then he ever could" Novail replied as he give me one of his gun.

The view in front of me was devastating, león get up from group, and almost 50s of his men was standing beside him .

Our men gave us the backup , while León give to his

" You will not get out alive " Leon said , as he started firing .

The firing start and the smoke started to raise , the voice of gunshots was so loud that I was not able to hear anything else

People were dying , I couldn't even know if they were our men or Leon's , they only thing was visible was blood and bodies .

The bullet injury on my stomach was now taking toll on me , I think I got a shot on my arm also , but it's no time to rest .

We all have been fighting from long, but till now no one won .

The gun shots voice has died down , and smoke started to clear a little bit ,I can see Novail standing all fine , well ofcourse he is fucking mafia , while León was not in view .

I rushed towards Novail , when my eyes fell on león pointing his gun at Novail's back, what a pussy to attack on back .

I was fast enough to pull the trigger, and bullet straight went into his hand,  a loud scream left his mouth and he dropped the gun and fell on the ground.

Novail turned around and kicked him on the face ,

" You are sick " Novail said , and León started laughing " you people took my wife " León said , and my blood boiled , this piece of shit did all this, killed so many people, and made such a huge mess , just because he couldn't get over the fact that Stella is not his .

I punched him on the face and grabbed his collar , I dragged him with his collar and threw him against the wall , he groan in pain as he help himself and sit resting his back on the wall .

"You are going die here ". I said , I can see fear in his eyes , but it soon replaced with anger " Where is Stella , do you know ??" He asked , " she will not come here " I said , he smirked at me , and said  " not after knowing that your life in danger ?" He said ,well practically she don't know .

Just then my phone rang, I pull it out and it was Stella's , I quickly picked it up and gesture Novail to handle León

" Hello " I said " Alwar I couldn't find your file " She whinnied , a relief washed acrossed me , knowing she is safe and she doesn't know anything.

" It's okay Stella, stay there I am coming home " I said , she laughed from other side " I already came to your office, I am just parking my car " she said. And my heartbeat gets faster

" Stella don't come here " I said., She didn't speak anything for a while and asked  " why ?"

"Stella ,just do what I ask you to , okay ??? Stay there " I said

"Alwar is something wrong ??? " She asked

"STELLA SHUT UP AND STAY THERE "  I lost my control and shout on her , I feel so terrible after shouting on her , I turned around to see Novail in shock , and león wearing his ugly smirk .

"Alwar " she said , why the fuck she can't stay there .

But before I could say anything, león pulled gun out of Novail's hand and pull the trigger towards me , I couldn't even react fast and bullet hit me in the stomach.

"ALWAR ". Stella scream across the phone , I can hear her sandal hitting ground , she must be running here .

The pain was so terrible that , I couldn't even stop Stella , I couldn't say anything.

The phone dropped from my hand, and I fell on the ground .

I roll on my back , and tried to open my eyes , Stella must be coming here , what do I do .

I turned my head towards León

Novail already snatched his gun and pointed on his head again.

I can see Novail's tears ,

" ALWAR , JUST LET ME KILL HIM " Novail , screamed ,Leon have to die because now  Stella also going to come here .

I tried to sit up , I want to kill this piece of shit from my hand , I pull my whole strength and stand up, I stumbled towards them.

I took gun out of Novail's hand and put it on León's head

His story will end here, I wanted to give him a painful death ,but I don't have time , whatever he did to Stella, God will punish him for that .

" Kill me , so you all burn alive here " he said " Stella has a great timing, I planted bomb here, now you all will die " león said, and a shiver ran down my spine, I punched his already bloodied face with my gun .

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER ,TELL ME WHERE " I shout , but all he did was laugh .

" Novail , get out of here, and take everyone with you , make sure building gets closed " I instructed Novail

" Like hell I will leave you " he shout " just fucking make everyone leave the building ". I shout on him , he watched my face with tearful eyes, he hugged me and sobbed , it's my first time seeing Novail cry, I pushed him and hold his face in my hands

" Make sure everyone leave, and please take care of Stella " I said

" You stay here, I am coming back " he said and ran away as fast as he can

I again turned my head towards León, and kicked him again. What kind of thick skin bastard he is that he didn't died after getting beaten this hard .

I should have killed him that day, it would have no mess.

But he will die today, and no one else will get hurt.

~•~

This is dream right ?? A nightmare?

When I entered main building from parking, everything was blurry, the place which once was crowded was no empty, the police barricaded the lift entrance and everyone was running out of the building.

Where is alwar ???

I run inside when a officer blocked my way .

" Ma'am you can't go inside, the place is under shootout " he said , and my breathe stucked in my lungs.

" look officer, my boyfriend is inside , I need to go to him " I said while trying to control my voice from breaking

"Don't worry Ma'am , we will take him out " he said " you are not understanding, I need to go him, he is my man , he is in danger, I need to go to him " I said , my voice finally broke and I grabbed the officer's shirt

"Please let me go" I screamed.

" Stella" I turned my head around hearing my name, it was Novail.  He is here , I ran towards him and hugged him

"Novail , where is Alwar ?? You are here where is he ?" I said , he holds my face and said " don't worry Stella I will take him out , but first you need to get out of here, this place has a bomb , which can blow any minute " he said and my mind fogged

If Alwar is inside means he will die , this can't happen.

I pushed Novail and run towards the staircase, because lift was blocked.

I can hear Novail screaming my name , but I didn't turned around .

I can hear his footsteps behind me , but I ran fast , I reached second floor and took a elevator from there .

Novail couldn't catch me .

As soon as elevator stopped at 12 floor ,I rushed out of it , and started searching whole place

There was smoke everywhere, and smell of blood mixed with gunpowder.

I can see alot of dead bodies,  this all happened because of me , this thought made me cry.

I reached Alwar's office and then finally my eyes fell on my man .

His white shirt was now filled with red blood, I can only see his back .

I run towards him

"Alwar " I shout his name , he turned around in horror , when his eyes meet mine .

" Fuck Stella , I told you to stay away " he shout at me , but I didn't listened to him , I ran to him and threw myself on him, hugging him tight , he winced in pain and I removed myself quickly

" Are you okay " I ask checking him , when my eyes fell on his gun shots, my cry became loud sobs as I started screaming.

My eyes then fell on León , he was almost looking dead , he is the reason all this happened

I go near him and slapped him , he was sitting on the ground so I kicked him also.

Alwar holds me from my waist and put my behind him .

" I am going to kill him " he said " but where is your gun" león asked , Alwar then noticed that he don't have gun

León laughed, and stand up. Taking gun in his hand. He winced in pain but still managed to get up .

He points his gun towards both of us , I grabbed Alwar's biceps as I watched him in terror

" You both will die today" León said ,  before he could do anything , I rushed in front of Alwar , and covered him with my body .

Everything happened so fast, that I couldn't process,

Stella is crazy, and stubborn, she never listened .

I followed her back up , she took the lift so I had to take stairs , once I reached 12 floor I rushed towards Alwar,

But the sight was horrible, I don't know if I will ever able to forget the feeling of watching my bestfriend and his girlfriend who is like sister to me , like this .

Stella was covering Alwar's body with her, when León pulled the trigger , and I at the same time pulled my trigger ,which hit directly in his brain , he fell on the ground right at the moment, and his skull exploded from the impact.

León shot the gun from so close, that the bullet crossed both of there bodies, poor Stella thought she could protect Alwar , when the gun fires from this close

.......

I heard two gun shot .

The first one was from Novail who shot León in the head , and the second on was from León , which pierced through my stomach.

How alwar was bearing the pain of gunshots ??? It is hurting so much .

My eyes fell on my stomach, I can see hole there, and same hole was in Alwar's stomach, did bullet crossed both of our bodies???

This thought made me ,cry tears fell from my eye, so as blood from my mouth.

Alwar placed his hand on my face and rest his forehead on mine , We didn't said a word but we know what we want to say to each other .

We both was crying , but I was happy, that if I am dying I am dying with Alwar .

But it also hurts me, we faced so many things to be together, but couldn't stay together, He won't even know that, he was going to be father.

I won't  hear him saying " marry me Stella" , I won't celebrate our anniversary, I won't grow old with him .

I won't be able to call myself Mrs Le Deon .

I won't able to do so many things with him , but I was happy, that I atleast meet someone like him .

I am happy that he was part of my life , and I am happy that I am dying with him in my hands

We couldn't stand as we both fell on the ground , Our face was in front of each other, as we both cried, I slide my hands under his face , so I can feel him at my last moments .

A tear left my eyes as the pain increase, it was getting hard to breathe, I tried to go more near to him but he was asleep, yes I will say he was asleep.

My Alwar fell asleep, but why it is so hard to stop crying and believe it ?

When I will close my eye, because it was hard to see him fell asleep before me .

I took a deep breathe, I can feel my heartbeat getting slower and my breathe getting short .

" I love you "

I managed to say this before I closed my eyes
