“Will you kill me Sidd, really?” Karan said in a low emotional voice
I have pointed gun towards a guy whom I knew from past 25 years. We have been called as best buddies since childhood. I could never imagine that a day like this would ever arise.
“Have you forgotten that I am your best friend Sidd. We grown up together, we played together. I’m for you and you for me vow” Karan again said. I could notice the same innocence in his voice as it use to be when we were kids and he cheats on me in some game and get caught.
“You changed the meaning of friendship Karan” I said
Happiness or sadness, he was someone whom I always looked for. The most precious part of my life, for rest we were two but for us we were one.
“I am sorry, please forgive me Sidd…. Shruti please ” He said crouch handed with tears in his eyes.
“But why you did that Karan. If you loved Shruti, love of my life, than you could have told me.” I said. He was making me weak.
“I know I did wrong to you” He replied
“You tried to make me arrest in a false Imputation. So that I will be under the bars and you will get her, is that your love? And when that doesn’t work and I proofed myself innocent. You planned for her kidnapping by calling my name so she will think that I have kidnapped her and she starts hating me” I said with the fire in my body
“I know I did terrible things. I got blind for her love. I didn’t even think for once that she loves you and you are my best friend. Please give me one chance. I am sorry!!!!” Karan said while getting down in his knees
I have rescued Shruti from the kidnapers almost killing everyone except him and how could I. I can’t kill my friend… moreover he was guilty for everything.
Finally I put down my gun, grab Shurti’s hand and turned back when she screamed “Siddharthhhhhh”
Within a moment I turned and shot him dead by firing a bullet that athwart his forehead. He was dead. No more breadth. This happened because as I turned he tried to pick up the gun of one of his dead punk and was about to kill me. Now I understood that it was his plan to get down in his knees to pick that gun.
Slide show of our childhood drama, fun, pranks, I’m for you and you for me started revolving in my mind. As his body tumbled on the ground I clamped my eyes and tears rolled over.
As I went near he cocked with his eyes. I gave him my hand to get up. The lights got brighter and the auditorium filled with applause. Everybody on the stage stood up and we thanked our audience who came all the way to theater. I was so damn gone into the character that once I have forgotten that it all was an act
