Till Death Do Us Apart Part 5

She rushed for him to stop but too late, he had already reached the apartment. When Mist entered she saw no one except her and Ayan, standing in the apartment which was definitely ransacked. Pieces of glass everywhere, fear crept through their veins. Shanaya was nowhere to be found.

‘What happened?’ said Mist. Ayan wasn’t responding, he was too confused at the moment. Suddenly the phone rang. Ayan reached for it.

‘Hello?’

‘Ah! Agent X8, long time’

‘Who is this?’

‘Oh god, you don’t worry about that. Worry about your wife, she is with us’

Ayan heard Shanaya screaming and shouting. He was helpless.

 ‘What do you want? Dare not touch her you scoundrel’

‘We won’t, we want you. You just need to do as I say and don’t get your little friends from the CIA otherwise things will get ugly here’ he said and put down the phone.

Ayan rushed towards his car, mist followed him. She decided to keep quite.

‘Shanaya has been kidnapped by the people who were after me. The man has sent me this address, we will find her there. 

They soon reached to the given address. It was dilapidated factory outside New York City. Mist knew this was some sort of game being played with Ayan. He held his gun in hand, she was unarmed. When they went inside, they found Shanaya chained to a pole and a moustached man standing beside her. ‘Ayan?’ whispered Shanaya.

‘Shanaya you are going to be all fine. I am here’ said Ayan. The moustached man unchained shanaya. He had put the gun near her head.

‘You girl, come here!’ he said pointing towards Mist.

Mist did as she was told. He handed Shanaya to Mist but had the gun pointed towards them. ‘You are going to be fine Shanaya’

‘Thank you for your cooperation Agent X8, now let us talk…’ before he could say anymore, Miranda Price had reached for their rescue. The man tried to snatch the two girls back but this time something unusual happened. He handed Shanaya the gun. Shanaya pointed the gun towards Mist and the man had grabbed Mist by his hand.

Ayan was confused. Mist shouted at Shanaya. The man tightened his grip around her. There was silence for a moment but then Miranda appeared in the scene. She saw the helpless Agent Mist and the confused Agent X8.

‘Shanaya what are you doing?’ shouted Miranda.

‘Shut up you witch. Let me talk to my dear husband now’ replied Shanaya.

‘Surprised Ayan? Did you think that I was that stupid? You lied to me; you lied to me all the time.  You even faked your death. Let me suffer all that time, even when you knew that I was pregnant. You sent this stupid girl for help, yeah right! Fool someone else. Now I have had enough of it.’

‘It was for your own good’ whispered Ayan.

‘This is your answer? No seriously, are you crazy? No it was me who was crazy. I don’t want to see your face ayan! Never! I hate you Ayan! And now you have to pay the price of what you have done. She placed the gun on Mist.

‘NO!’ shouted Miranda. She placed her gun at Shanaya.

‘Shanaya don’t do anything to her, it is me who you want, not her. Leave Mist please! I beg you’

‘Okay then I shall kill you then’

‘Young lady I must not allow that. You have nothing to protect yourself and this man of yours he will die too’ Miranda said.

‘Eames, you leave. Let him go otherwise I will kill her’ said Shanaya. The moustached man left in peace as the CIA agent didn’t know of what Shanaya was capable of. For her she was mentally misbalanced but for Ayan, she was his life. Even if she wanted to kill him, he loved her too much!

Ayan went towards Shanaya. Shanaya placed the gun near Ayan’s chin. Miranda stood helpless. She couldn’t possibly attack Shanaya as it might also kill her unborn child. Ayan’s life was already at risk.

‘Shanaya, please don’t do this, think of your child’ pleaded Mist.

‘No! I wouldn’t. I have already lost everything. I will kill him first and then kill myself too’ Shanaya shouted. She no more looked the pretty young woman she used to be. She had turned into something monstrous.’

‘I will leave in harmony only if you let me take him with me. If any of you try to follow us, I swear it will cost you three lives’

Miranda had nothing to say. She just saw Shanaya take Ayan away.

‘Do something Miranda!’ said mist.

‘What is done is done’ she replied

‘Get in the car now!’ Shanaya ordered, Ayan obeyed.

‘Drive’

‘So are you going to kill me?’ Ayan said at last.

‘I wish I could, and was it necessary to spoil it!’ Shanaya complained.

‘Miss you are undoubtedly the best actor I have known’

Shanaya smiled and grabbed Ayan’s hand.

‘I am glad we are together, for once I thought we might not be’ Shanaya said.

‘We will always be together, I promise’ Ayan said.

‘Oh! Will Miranda have it under control? And where are the ID’s she gave?’

‘Yeah, she said she will manage, were you able to hack in the system?’

‘Yes, I was it was pathetically complicated but I was able to remove all information regarding Agent X8. Officially you don’t exist anymore. There is now Mr & Mrs Romero, we are Mexicans now?’

‘If that is what in the ID then yes, we didn’t have many options you know’ Ayan joked.

So all this while Shanaya knew who Ayan really was. While unpacking her stuff after reaching New York she found a letter inside Ayan’s journal. In the letter he explained his disappearance and the consequences if he had not left the country. He even suggested a plan which ultimately did work out. After knowing that Shanaya was pregnant, Miranda decided to help the two. All this time, Mist played as the messenger and she never got to know the truth. Ayan and Shanaya no more existed as they left the country soon after their confrontation with Miranda. Thanks to Ayan’s influential friends, Mr and Mrs Romero were able to lead a happy life with their twins.
