IsTE x 1: Is Vansh really dead?

Hi welcome Twistinians to the first chapter, I hope you guys like it…

Internal monologues are written differently, in bold but without <this>.

Without any further ado…

{Kabir’s POV}

When I tell Vansh about Ridhima’s so-called betrayal, I can see how heart broken he is.  

Tch, tch Ridhima, you thought that I would let you live in peace with your husband. My mind says as I smirk. Mom gives me the thumbs up from behind him. 

“Don’t take my son, inspector, please!” Mom pleads while faking her tears. I’m impressed. 

“I’m sorry mam, but I’m doing my job.” I say emotionlessly while Vansh just nods absentmindedly. 

I hit him so hard that he is going to believe anything before I kill him for once and for all.

I take out the cuffs and cuff both his hands and take him to the police van. I get him seated, sit down in front of him after closing the doors of the van.

“Mishra, take the next exit of the roundabout.” I command my loyal follower. 

“But Sir, the police station is on the third exit.”

“Yes, I know. Do as I say,” I yell and he just does it. Soon we are on a cliff, he parks the car. I get out, uncuff Vansh, who gets out too. 

“What are we doing here?” He asks and I just want to hit my head. 

Has he become dumb by living with Ridhima or what? My mind rolls its eyes while asking that question. 

No, he just knows you too well. My heart disagrees with my mind. 

I just ignore both mind and heart as well as act according to mine and mom’s plan by saying, “I’m letting you go, Vansh. So go before I change my mind.” 

He turns his back towards me, starts walking as I take my gun out from its holder.

I try to shoot him on his back yet he saves himself from getting shot. 

He turns around, says while coming closer and pulling my arm with the pistole towards his chest, “only cowards would shoot or hit someone in the back, brave people would do this.”

“I already knew what you were trying to do so I played along.” He says. I look stunned.

He smirks at me and I cannot stop the anger coursing through me and I attack him. 

Out of reflex he defends himself and punches me in the gut. It does hurt me but right now I want to kill him just like the way I killed Ragini.

We fight for a while, I get a few hits and he receives some too. Mishra is just standing, watching and I’d rather have him beat up Vansh too, but this idiot never knows what has to be done. I always have to order him around. 

You should fire him. My heart says.

No, he is quite useful but soon I can replace him with my new associate. My mind replies back.

Yes, she is a beauty with brains and doesn’t always listen to her heart like Ridhima does. My heart agrees with my mind and thinks of her. 

You are in love with her, but snap out of it heart! My mind exclaims dangerously. 

We are still fighting each other until we both are a bit out of breath. I look for my gun and point it at Vansh. 

“Now it’s time for you to die.” I say while he shakes his head with a smirk crawling up his lips. 

“I decide when I need to die or not. It’s not the time yet!” The way he says it, confuses me but I roll my eyes at him.

“I win and you lose.” I say with a grin that reaches my eyes.

“Main duhmanoon se harta nahi (I don’t lose against my enemies),” He says in a confident way until the tone of his voice saddens as he carries on, “par apnoon ke wajah se harta hoon main (but I lose because of my own loved ones).”

I roll my eyes and say while pointing my pistol towards his heart, “don’t be so dramatic Vansh.” 

“I’m just being honest,” he scoffs. Then we hear someone coming towards us. 

“Vansh,” Ridhima yells his name while looking at both of us and glaring at me in particular. She comes closer to us both. 

“Tere Ishq mein marjawan, Ridhima (I’ll die in your love, Ridhima).” He says and jumps down the cliff, I’m rooted to the spot whereas Ridhima tries to get a hold of him. She wants to save him but it’s too late now. 

“You can’t save him,” I say while trying to get her away from the cliff but she slaps me. 

“Don’t you dare touch me,” she shouts, “you killed him and you are going to pay for your deeds Kabir!”

“Don’t be stupid,” I say, but she doesn’t listen to me and leaves from here in a heartbroken state. For the first time in my life I feel bad. 

So I immediately go look for the body of Vansh, pulling Mishra with me. 

“Sir what are we doing now?” That idiot asks me.

“To find the body,” I yell at him, “you fool!” 

So we look through the whole jungle for more than 30 minutes and we do not find it anywhere. So I decide to visit the Raisinghania mansion to see if they know something about the missing body of Vansh.

As soon as I reach there I see everyone’s crying their hearts out except for mum who pretends to be heartbroken as them but why is Ridhima being like them?

“I’m sorry to say but I have not found Vansh’ body.” I say while walking inside. Ridhima glares at me. 

I gulp but I walk towards the picture of Vansh with a garland on it. 

For some reason I feel bad but at the same time I’m happy. I smirk at the picture. All of a sudden Ridhima jerks me away from the picture, slaps me for the second time for the day and yells at me, “get out of this house. You are the reason that MY VANSH is dead! I don’t want to see your disgusting face in this house ever again.”

“I didn’t do anything, Ridhima. His death is not on my hands.” I calmly say whereas I want to explode and yell at her like she yelled at me.

She then pushes me but I stand still while Mishra tries to drag me away from her, which does not work so he tries to lift Ridhima away from me but she kicks him hard. 

“Leave me.” She yells at him. 

“Let her grieve,” I say and so he leaves her.

“I hate you!”

“You don’t because you are mine.” I yell at her. She slaps me again while I’m fed and I try to drag her out with me. 

“Stop right here, Kabir,” a deep and known voice commands me. I turn around to look at that person like everyone else and it is…
