“If you are done with the onions, why don’t you join me here in the celebrations?”… Kavi asked him
“I just cut the most poisonous onions ever produced and now you want me to enjoy this auspicious occasion with you?”
“Haha… Right now, you are looking like a kid, who have just lost his favorite toy”
“Yeah, my favorite toy is enjoying the night, while I am still wiping my tears”
“Damn it Aakash, hold it on an angle”
“I told you, don’t let him drink too much beer”… Debojit teased Keshav
“Shut up Debo. How you will become an engineer? You seem to have no clue about 45 degrees angle”
“Keshav, if you can just fucking stop blabbering for few seconds, only than I can concentrate on what I am doing”
“Ok, it’s all yours, let me see, what you can do without my help”… Keshav took a few steps backwards
“Abhi, don’t be a bore, join me here. The countdown is about to begin”
“Kavi, if my memory serves me right, the last time I got so excited about the new year night, I was in college”… This time Abhi teased her
“Ok, sit there on your boring chair like an oldie. I am still young and energetic”
“The countdown begins, yahoo”… Kavi exclaimed with joy
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…. Happy New Year”… Kavi shout out loudly
“Easy on old man’s ears Wife. I m just couple of feet’s away from you”
“Abhi, look at the fireworks. Wow, it’s so beautiful. You see this is what we missed last year”
“I Love You Abhi”… Kavi looked back at him
“I Love You too”
“No, No, not like this, say it with some passion and romance, Dear Husband”
“Like?”… Abhi gave her a naughty smile
“Like this, I Love Y………o”… Abhi felt like a whiff of air just crossed him and the next thing he saw was that Kavi falling down on ground and a gush of blood surrounding her
“KAVI”… The festive night roared with his scream
********************************
“Oh my God, Oh my God, what? No, what have you done? Fuck no”… Debojit couldn’t believe what he saw just seconds ago
“Aakash, what… I said… on angle… Oh my God”… Keshav hold his head in both hands. They were just couple of roofs away from where those man and woman were, they even heard her saying “Happy New Year” few seconds ago and now she was lying on the floor and the man was holding her in his arms
“I didn’t mean… I was just… it was just… I pointed it… on angle… you told me… it just… jerked… I shot… and it just… jerked… jerked… I didn’t mean to…”… Words were coming out of Aakash’s mouth like he was talking in a trance. All three of them were transfixed in their positions and were looking at the scene in front of them.
“Kavi, Kavi, Please talk to me, what happened, please talk to me Kavi. Talk to me Damn it, I will say I Love you they way you want. I won’t be late again Kavi, Please talk to me, Kavi, Kaviiii”… Aakash was slapping her face, jolting her body but there were no response from her. He was socked in all the blood came out of her chest. And the first time, realization hit him that Kavi was shot by a bullet. He raised his head and looked around him and suddenly his eyes got locked on the three boys. They were standing just two roofs away from his roof. One of them was still holding the gun in his direction. Even from that distance, he could see that they all were standing there like someone has pressed their pause button. The next thing he knew was that, he was rushing towards them
“Come one Aakash, run, he is coming towards us”… Keshav was the first one to react
“Aakash, Pleas run, come”… Moving man also brought back Debojit into senses.
Both of them were pushing Aakash but he was stuck in his position and before they could do anything, Abhi jumped on their roof
“Please Sir, let me explain, it was… it was just an accident, he didn’t mean to, we didn’t mean to… shot her”… Keshav moved towards Abhi to explain him the situation
“You bastards, you killed her. You… You… Killed my Kavi”… Tears were oozing out of Abhi’s eyes
“Sir, please, I am sorry… I mean we are sorry… we were just… just mean to have… aerial shot”… Debojit also moved forward. Aakash was still stuck in his position
“Fuck your aerial shot”… Abhi hit Debojit with a full mighty punch on his nose
“Sir, Please Sir… we belong to respectable fam….”… Abhi didn’t even allow Keshav to complete his sentence and punched him right on his jaw. Seeing both of his friends going down, Aakash came back to his senses and the next thing he did was go down on his feet and grab’s Abhi’s right leg
“I am Sorry Sir… I didn’t mean to shot her… I am really… Sorry… Sir”… Aakash felt like something has stuck in his throat, he had to make an effort to speak out those words
Abhi pushed him away with the jerk of his leg, he looked back. Even from there he could see his beloved wife, his life, Kavi’s lifeless body on the ground soaked in blood. His mind was black out for few seconds, he was not able to comprehend the situation. He didn’t know what he was doing; he just picked up the gun from the floor and in less than five minutes, the festive night roared once more with another gun shot.
