GUNAAH
Doctor "Mr.Gupta! I'm so sorry we couldn't save the baby girl; But Mother and Baby boy both are fine. Mrs.Singh's body is reacting to our treatment now. It's a miracle; I would say that by the grace of God Today Mrs.Singh is alive after all those complications as you know she was pregnant with Twins. Now you can see the baby in infant word; Mrs.Singh is under observation for couple of hours; you can see her later."
Dev sat on the chair relieving from tension, his eyes are moist. "Oh! God, Why Her?".He covered his stressed face with his palms and left a sigh breath out.
"Thank you Doctor! Thank you so much!..Aapki hey yesaan main zindagee bar nahi bhool saktha".
Doctor "You are welcome Mr.Gupta! Don't thank me it's my duty to save the People's life". Doctor "And One more thing Mr.Gupta, your wife is very weak and mentally disturbed. It's not good for her health in this condition and for the baby. Take good care of her." Saying this doctor left Dev alone to attend other patients.
Dev stood outside the glass door staring at the Girl, now a Mother of a son is lying on the bed. Her face has become pale now, her eyebrows are knotted may be coz of pain. But he couldn't understand which pain is causing her more, Physical or Mental. He knew she is a fighter; she could fight all the odds. He was still wearing the same uniform since from yesterday. There was no time to feel uncomfortable for, his uniform is covered with full of sweat and Dust. His eyes had become red due to lack of sleep. His cell started to ring and then he remembered seeing the caller ID that he had not called Naintara from past 16 hours.
Rubbing his eyes he attended the call "Hello tara!" Naintara "Dev! .." He can hear her sobs through the phone. Dev came near window" Tara! Kya huwa! Tum roo kuy rahi ho! " Naintara "Dev! Wo..wo Kall raath se Geet gayab hain! Mujhe laga wo Jannath(farm house name) main hain! " Dev "Tara! Calm Down! Geet mer--" Naintara didn't let him complete and said between her hiccups "Dev! Please Find her! Main apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahi karungi agar ussko kuch huwa tho" Dev "Tara! Listen to me sweety" Naintara "Gopal kaka ne bola ki Geet Jannath farm house pouchi hi nahi! Dev kahi Geet ne?" Dev had lost his patience "TARA! Shutup! And Listen What I'm going to say carefully " Naintara "um..*Sobs*um..*sobs*um." Dev "Oh! God What I'll do with this Women" Dev Calmed himself and said " Tara! I'm sorry sweety! " Naintara " Humu" dev closed his eyes rubbing his forehead "Tara, Geet Hospital main hain! Tum jittne Jaldise hosakey uttni jaldi Geet ki kuch jaroorate samaan pack karkey City Hospital haajaho" Naintara "Geet ko Kya huwa! ..Geet teek tho hain na..aur aur..babies? " asked him with shaking voice almost in the edge of craying. Dev "Geet ko beta huwa hain! Tum..jaldi aaho! " "Tara Main Baad main tumhe sab detail main samjata hoon tum foran yaha aajaho, Mujhe Kuch zaroori kaam hain, " His jaws tightened "Kisis se mujhe millna jaana hain" "Aur mujhe Station bhi jaan hain! Main kall raat se yahi pe hoon" Mera Commissioner ke saat meeting hain".While talking dev saw her through the glass, geet started to gain conscious..She is searching something on her right side with still closed eyes. Dev "Tara! Main tumse baad main baat karta hoon! bye" he cut the call. Dev came inside slowly and stood beside her bed, He kept his hand on her right hand "Geet! " dev bent forward and kissed her forehead. He whispered in her ears "Geet! Tumhara Armaan tumhari intezar karrha hain! Tum jaldi teekh hojaho" Brushing her silky hairs aside. He chuckled how she use to pout her mouth everytime he made fun of her big tummy during her pregnancy. Again he kissed her hair for one last time before leaving the ICU. He came out wiping his tears. He turned once again towards the glass, saw her before going to infant ward.
************
Infant ward
Dev couldn't voice it how he felt holding that small bundle of joy in his arms. He saw the baby yawning and trying to reach the warmth cuddling more into his arms. Dev wiped tears before it reach his cheeks. A smile crept on his lips and he kissed baby's cloth over the heart. Then he heard a female voice "Bilkul apne ma pe gaya hain!" Dev saw the nurse who had thought him how to hold new born babies few minutes back. Dev smiled at her and said "Nahi! Hey tho bilkul apne pa pe gaya hian..Hai na Junior?" Bring more close to his face dev asked. The Baby made a yawn sound as if he understood Dev's word. Dev "Apne Dekha! Hey abi se mere baath samjraha hain..aur bahut hi hoshiyaar bhi hain".
Nurse "Sir! Mujhe baby ko usske ma ke paas lekey jaana hain feeding keliye! Baby ko bhook lagrahi hogi..". Dev "Oh! Mele Guddu raja ko bhook lagi hain apne mamma ke paas jaana hian aapko? Hmm?.. mummy ko jaada tang matt karna..aur uska khayal rakhna..main aapkey papa ko wapis lene jaaraha hun " Dev kissed his forehead over the cloth before handing him to Nurse. Dev stood there few seconds thinking staring at the empty crib and he don't know how he will tell Geet about her Angel who is no more now. He still remember when he asked her what she will name the babies, she was so sure about having a girl and a boy whom she would like to call Angel and Armaan. His trail of thoughts broke by ringing cell.
Dev " Hello! SP(Superintendent of Police) Dev Singh Gupta speaking" From other side "Mr.Gupta! I'm Peter D'souza, SI(Sub-inspector) from Goa police. Can I talk with you now?" Dev came out of the ward "Yes! Inspector What can I do for you?"
Peter "Mr.Gupta! Yesterday night we were patrolling at Debu Beach and we found a body which was almost in decomposed state. It's hard to recognize the face, but we found a wallet in dead body's pocket. On the wallet there are initials like "MSK" with your visiting card. So could you please come over here and indentify the body."
Dev felt the ground beneath his feet just vanished and his heart secretly praying "No! No! Not him Please God! " Peter "Mr.Gupta? Are you there? " Dev "yea! Yes! I'm coming Inspector" Saying this Dev cut the call and sank to the chair.
Seeing at the Lord ganesh statute beside his chair, joining his both hands Dev "Please bagwan! Aaj nahi! Please". Naintara stood beside Dev "Bagwanjee hamesha acche logon ki pareeksha lethey hain lekin aakhir main sucche logon ki jeet hothi hain Dev..humhey unnpe baroso rakhna hoga..". Dev couldn't control himself plus he was stressed out thinking about Geet's condition. He hugged Naintara crying "Tara! Geet ke saath hi aisa q hota hain! uss bechari ne kisika kya begadatha! Main kaise usse sambaloo" Dev explained about the phone call and he have to go goa. Naintara held him tightly rubbing his back"Shh! Dev Aap isstarha toot jayenge tho Geet ko kaun samjayega. Aap ey jaanthey hain na Geet aapse kittna pyaar karthi hain" Naintara made him sit on the chair giving him a glass of water to drink.
After few minutes later Dev said"Tara! Mujhe! Abhi Goa Janaparega! Bahut hi jaroori kaam hian" Naintara "But Dev isstara Acchanaq? " Dev "Samajlo he Geet se Judihuwi baat hain. Mujhe jaana hi parega Tara! Tum jaanthi ho Geet ki Kushi mereliye kittni mainey rakkthi hain" Naintara noded her head agreeing with Dev.
Dev "Mujhe aaj! Raat ki flight se niklunga! Tum Geet ka Kaayal rakkna. Mera mann nahi hain jaaneko phir bhi mujhe waha jaana hoga aur ha Armaan ka bhi. Geet ko abhi hosh nahi aaya hain. Usse kuch matt batana. Main jaldihi wapis aahunga.." Naintara hugged him dearly "Dev aap Geet aur Armaan ki fikar chodh deejiye aap bus kuddh ka kayal rakkiyega! Aur jaldi wapis aajaega" Dev shook his head and left the hospital.

A man sitting near beach facing to the shore, singing a song as he was playing guitar "Aankhien hai num, dhadhkan madham'Ab maan jaa, roothe sanam'Saansein chubhan, toota sa mann'Aur naa sataa, oh jaaneman..." Geet couldn't stop herself from pulling towards that man. She knew who it was. She constantly is trying to reach him. She knew he is asking her forgiveness. But she wanted to make him realize that she is not angry on him and she never get angry on him, she wanted to take all his bitter pain. She knew he is dyeing thousand deaths every second. All she wants is him to come back to her. She loved him; yes she loved him like crazy from the day one. She wants him to come back to her, then she heard him singing "Gunaah kiya dil maine, yaar ka todh ke'.Gunaah kiya usse ik din, tanha chodh ke". The guilt over shadowed his love to her. She have no strength to walk anymore, she felt miserable and started to cry bitterly. Suddenly her surrounding started to spin, She saw him walking towards the tides with his wide opened arms as if he is welcoming the death. Her voice stuck in her throat itself. Her legs are not co-operating with her. She started to scream "MAAN!..MAAN! Nahi Please meri baat suniye! Rukjahiye! MAAN!." He almost drowns himself in water. Geet watched him till he fully drowned in water and woke up suddenly calling him from her Bed "MAAN! " Geet is panting, tears rolled on her cheeks still her hands are stretched straight trying to get hold of her heart. It took 2 whole minutes for Geet to realize it's just a dream. She touched her flattened stomach to feel her babies.
She was wondering why her babies are not kicking her today alike other day then suddenly it hit her hard. Slowly she remembered what happened with her. Geet "Mere Bacche?" "MERE Bacche! Dev..? Naina? Mere Bacche?".
Geet realized that now she is in hospital "D-Doctor? " her voice came like whisper "Doctor! Is anybody there?" Geet removed her drips and tried to get down from the bed holding her Stomach which was giving her a hell pain. Geet bit her lips to suppress her sobs due to pain . She took support of bed rims to walk to door. Suddenly she fell down before she hit the floor Naintara hugged her and made her to lay down on the bed. Naintara "GEET! Aap kaha jaarahey te? Agar aapko kuch hogaya hota tho ? aapke stiches kull jayenge... main kya javab dethi Dev ko?".
Geet caught her hands and Asked "My Babies?" Nainatara mustered some courage "Geet! Wo! " Geet sensed something is fishy coz Naina could never hide anything from geet. Geet "Babhi? " Naintara "Geet! Tumhara Armaan Sooraha hain aur bilcul teek hain ". Geet "Aur Angel?" her eyes are shining. By then Nainatara had tears in her eyes "Oh! Geet! " Nainatara hugged Geet patting head "Angel humhey chodkey chaligahi Geet".
Geet neither react to the news nor didn't she even cry. She sat like a log on bed. When nurse came inside along with the baby in her arms, Geet saw the little one crying for his mother. Nurse "Mrs.Singh! Baby ko bhook lagi hain. Are you feeling okay! Can you feed your milk to baby?. " handing the baby to Geet nurse left them alone. Geet started at her son who is desperate to cuddle within his ma's arms. Naintara is worried now coz Geet didn't react to the Angel's death.
Geet hugged her son dearly pressing him to her heart, Kissed his forehead and said "Mere Armaan ko bhooki logi hain! huh?" Geet tired to open the buttons of her hospital gown. Naiantara helped her with the buttons and kept a pillow under her elbow for support to feed armaan. Naiantara "Geet! Tum jeebarkey rooti q nahi? Tum please aise matt raho..Please Gee'" Geet "Babhi! Todhi der mujhe akhela rehana hain! mujhe apni bte se baath karni hain! Please Naina babhi! " Naian " Teekhey! Agar Kuch chahiye tho mujhe boolalena! Main Bahar wait karthi hun" Saying this Naintara closed the door on her back.
**********
Mother Marry Hospital, Goa.
Peter welcomed Dev giving him a shake hand "Hello! Sir! Welcome to Goa". Dev was fully occupied in this storming thoughts, he shook his hand mechanically saying "Thank You! " Peter escorted him inside the morgue telling him the details of the dead body, but dev was not in sense to listen to him. Peter introduced Dev with the Senior Doctor who stood beside dead body reading postpartum report. Peter "Doctor! Meet Mr. Dev Singh Gupta, SP from, Mumbai Crime branch." Dev and Doctor Both exchanged the handshakes, Doctor "Peter! There is very interesting thing in this report".
Dev's heart was beating furiously, He wanted to see the body first, He wanted get Dev "Doctor! Can I see the Body! " . Doctor "Yes! sure "
All three moved towards the table where the body was laid. Dev's hands were shaking; sending silent prayers to god, Dev bring his hand forward to remove the sheet which has covered dead body's face (ST)"Please! God! Not him! Not him! Please". Peter "Mr.Gupta are you alright?"
Dev nodded his head and made his heart brave enough to open the sheet over the face. When he saw that face he couldn't believe his own eyes, Just a whisper came out of his mouth "VICKY!". He fumbled few steps back with terror filled eyes touching his heart, Peter who stood behind offered him help to stay straight. Peter "Mr.Dev! Are you alright? Please have a seat! ". Dev "No! Thank you ! I'm Alright! " Peter "You identified the body, did you?" Dev shook his head for yes.
Dev "His name is Vikram Singh Rathod, Mumbai Crime Brach Encounter specialist. And also my Childhood Friend" Peter looked at the face, Dev "But How! How could be this possible? 7 months back only we declared him as dead in one of the Gang war while on duty and I only gave fire to his body" dev said still looking at the body. Then Doctor cut them saying "one more thing Mr.Gupta, this body is 3 days' old not 1 or 2 days. And he was long dead before throwing him into the sea. The death caused due to the over dose of Opium, from his blood reports we found out very interesting thing, He was much earlier addicted to drug can't say from when but approximately from 1 to 1 and half year.
Peter "Opium! Hmmm!! ". Dev "What? No it's highly impossible. Vicky never had been into such activities, we have grown up together, went to same school and college and as far as I know him, he would never commit or promote such crime. I guess there might be some mistakes with the report. He was very sportive and responsible officer he could never commit such mistake. And we yet to confirm that is he really Vikram or someone who look like him...you know humshakal..".
Doctor "Mr.Gupta, I can understand but I'm telling what exactly this report is stating." Peter "Mr.Gupta, this case is becoming riddle now, first you said Mr. Vikram was dead in gang war 7 months back and second you said he was not a drug addict and third again we find his dead body near beach. And maybe he is not Vikram, but one thing I couldn't relate is the Wallet we collected from his pocket. What are those initials means? Finding your visiting card in that wallet? I suspect there are so many things still we need to find out. " Giving wallet to Dev peter asked "What is MSK stands for?" eyeing initials on the wallet peter asked dev.
Dev is confused now, whose this body? If this is Vicky, who was that he gave fire 7 months back. How come Vicky carrying MSK's wallet? He somewhat happy to learn it's not him, his hair on body pricked just thinking what will he say to Geet. Dev taking his own wallet out, which is alike the one in his other hand, initial DSG (DEV SINGH GUPTA) imprinted on the wallet showed it to peter saying "MSK stands for MAAN SING KHURANA, and this is my wallet" Giving his wallet to peter. Dev "And Vicky too had one with initial on it VSR (VIKRAM SINGH RATHOD). These wallets were gift from my cousin Geet to all three of us. We three were best friends since when I don't know but we were like brothers in true sense."
Peter was checking wallets closely which are looking alike. Dev continued " Maan, that name suited him very well, He was very proud of his name. He was an special investigating chief officer at NCB (NARCOTICS CONTROL BUREAU), MUMBAI BRANCH. He was pride to our department. Very honest and ruthless man when it comes to work. We three joined department all together. Vikram was an encounter specialist, Maan being in NCB, he had so many enemies at his back." Peter "So where is Mr.Khurana now? Only he can solve this riddle." Dev took long breath "I..I'Don't know" Peter "You don't know? "..Dev "Maan is missing since from last 8 months before vikcy's death". Peter sighed " I don't understand Mr.Gupta! Your one friend is missing since 8 months and another one we found him dead yesterday who was already dead 7 months back." Confused Peter said while handing back maan's wallet to Dev. Dev took that wallet and saw Geet's photo in its inner compartment. Peter seeing that photo asked him "And who is this?." Dev "She is Geet Handa, My cousin... wo maan ki jaan hain".

City hospital, Mumbai
@Special Ward
Geet "Chanda Hai Tu,.. Mera Sooraj Hai Tu'O Meri Aankhon Ka Taara Hai Tu.." touched her baby's still pink cheeks with tip of her index finger that was latching onto her breasts, staring at baby's pink lips; which are suckling her nipples forcibly made her to flinch coz of faint pain in her swollen blossoms. She instantly blushed seeing those lips which very much reminded him. Those shaped lips are not meant to be forgotten; still she could feel the tremor ran through her body despite of the pain she is experiencing physically as well as mentally. A thought of him brought her to reality, a tear escaped from her swollen eyes which had become puffed due to constant crying, Hugging her baby closely " Jeeti Hoon Main Bas Tujhe Dekhakar'Is Toote Dil Ka Sahaara Hai Tu ".
How much she wished him to be around her at this time when he was much needed. How much she wished to tell him he need not to be sorry for what had happened between them coz she never thought that was a mistake instead she felt it right in true sense. How much she wished to tell him that she loved him like a crazy teen ever since she turned into 15. He is her first crush, he is her first love. She never cared about his anger or his aggressive nature. Only thing she knew is how to love him. If she hadn't known him well she could've mistaken him, but she knew he would never stoop that low to use her. He never crossed his limits all those years, he never let his feelings over rule him.
He always hid his feelings from the world only she know how much he longed to a family, longed to a motherly love, longed to be loved by someone to fill his empty life with their love and affection. His childhood was not an easy cake, drunken father and illiterate mother were never understood what a child expect from them. It was Dev her cousin bring him home one day saying that he saved him from beaten up by a bunch of slum boys. Baby stirred in her arms breaking her thoughts, Geet patted him to sleep.
Again she felt her breast tightening, the pain was unbearable. She laid him beside her carefully without disturbing. Seeing empty crib again her doe eyes filled with tears, Geet "Maan..aap kaha ho? Please wapas aajhiye'.main aapke bina nahi rehsakthi'main aap se bahut pyaar karthi hoon" clutching her bandaged stomach geet started to crying loudly. Naina rushed inside to see geet leaned on crib crying bitterly. Naintara "Geet! " hugged her closely patting her head. Naintara" Roole Geet! Jeebarkey roole..tumhari saari dhuk ansu bankey bahar behane do" Geet couldn't hold back anymore, it is weakling her. Geet "Woh kaha hongey Bhabhi!..main kaha dhoondu usse'bina bathahye wo q chalegaye! Mujhe ek mouka bhi nahi diya ". Naintara all could do is that just to hold her tightly till Geet poured her heart out.
*********
A man was laid on bare floor unconscious in a pitch dark room; the room smells sweat and smoke. His hands and legs were tied loose enough to sit and stir. "Ah! ..Paani..paani..ah" his faint voice is not audible enough to reach out of that room, beyond that wall. He is helpless; his body has stopped listing to his command long back coz the effect of drug he was injected by them. He don't know how long he was locked in this room tied up like this. He has no track of day or night, time, day, month or year.
He couldn't think straight, the effect of drug taken toll on him. How much he wanted to escape from this room, each time he tried to escape, every time he was injected a large sum of drug into his body. He is losing hope to escape from here. Every passing minute making him to lose his confidence; which is his only weapon who would never dared to steal or break. May be he deserved this hell, may be god is punishing him for ruining an innocent's life.
He muffled his scream within the throat due to pain which causing at his right leg which is bandaged now. When last time he tried to escape by killing one guard, he was shot at his right leg. Last time he almost made an upper hand while escaping from this room, but luck betrayed him. Today he is restless; his heart is beating faster than any other day. May be he felt miserable for his actions. He behaved like an animal with her though he has not done that intentionally. It's him who was behind all this VIKRAM; He greeted his teeth just remembering him. He had snatched everything from him, his job, his dignity, his Geet!. The name Geet itself brought a smile curved on his lips and at the same time he was ashamed himself for his act. How dare he still take her name from his filthy mouth?, he has no right to say her name.
He ruined her life, how could be do this to her. He loved her, yes he loves her like no one have loved her, he worships her yet he made her to suffer. May be he wanted this unworthy life should be ended like this "Tu milna paaye'Hum jeena paaye'Kahin marna jaaye'.Kaisi hai kaisi hai bebasi" yet his stupid heart want her to love him "Dil phir se chaahey...Teri hi panaahein'.Kahin mar na jaaye zindagi" He can't see hatred in those doe eyes.."Gunaah kia dil maine, yaar ka todh ke" His Gunaah is unforgiveable, it wouldn't let rest him in peace. His redemption won't give what has Geet lost.
"Mera har pal ab toh bojhal'.Veeran sa, dil yeh har dum'Lakhon hai gum, tanha hai hum...Kaise sahein itna sitam" He had committed a crime, he need to be punished. This is all because of Vikram, how much he wanted to kill that bas***d. He is still alive hoping one day he will confront him. He was his best friend, how could be do this to him and why? Leave me! Why Geet has been dragged into all this?. He silently sent prayers to god to keep him alive till he slit Vikram's neck for everything, all those sufferings his Geet had gone through. Vikram has to pay him for all the pain and sufferings by his death. To his luck god heard his prayers, a door clicked opened and Guard came inside to inject him another dose Cocaine, before he gain his conscious and get violent. His mind started to think fast but drug made his thinking process slow, he knew this is the last chance for him, if it's not now, then never.
**********
Its 2am, Maan is still running aimlessly on streets, his unshaven jaws, blood stained shirt, crushed pants tore at knee, his uncombed and long hair made him look like a beggar on streets. He's limping coz of the bandage on his right thigh. Maan heard gunfire back and increased his speed. His mind is blank, he don't know where to go, whom to call. He don't knew where he was kept all these 8 months. What city it is? Who are those people? And what Vikram was doing with them?. While escaping he heard someone saying that Vikram was dead and now they want him to be dead too. Lot of questions was drilling his brain. "Arre! Wo dekho..saale rukk" Someone screamed at the end of the street. Maan just increased his speed with bleeding leg and constantly prayed to god keep him alive untill he meet his geet. If the situation is not worse then he would've fought back with those goons. He knew this in not right time to show his strength. Maan hid in STD booth squeezing himself in that little space. His whole body throbbing like thousand pins are piercing through his body, drug made him numb to the pain. He has no strength to fight back or to run; he sat down in the booth waiting to the dawn or to the dusk of his life.
*************
9 months back(Flashback)
Mumbai
A loud music is playing on in one of the famous pub Blue Waves in Mumbai, It is a pub where all kinds of illegal activities carried out. People are lost in their own world of music-dance-drinks-drugs. Maan was sitting at the bar sipping his drink waiting for the informer. Today morning he got a call from one of his trusted informer about the 100 Cr Opium raw deals will be exchanged in pub. He was watching everyone at the pub very closely. When he turned to order another drink, his eyes caught her twinkling eyes. Rather Surprised than angry Maan whispered to himself "Geet! ". His surprise didn't last long; now he is shocked to see her in a red skinny strapless dress clad her milky skin barely. He rubbed his eyes; maybe he is hallucinating. Maan "No! No! No! Maan you are dreaming..!! Wake up man! First, why she will come here and second definitely you've lost your mind. Stop imaging her in those sexy dresses" shaking his head again he turned to bartender asking him to prepare another drink. He didn't dare to turn again; if he does he won't be stopping himself anymore from showing her how much she affects him. Yeah blame on Drinks! Here Geet is trying hard to keep herself calm and steady; this is her very important assignment. Being a crime reporter she has to take risks, this is a part of her job. She is here to cover a story on Kota note scam. She is anxious and feeling uncomfortable in tight dress cursing raghav; her mentor com camera man. Geet sensed that some one is watching her n tried to look back checking who is that without making it obvious. There she caught those pair of flaming eyes which are instantly burning her and next minute maan is towering over her staring at her doe eyes. Geet felt her knees have turned into liquid and any moment she will be floored. Eyeing top to bottom, Maan asked in hard tone "Geet! What the hell are you doing here? ". Pointing to the glass "And what is this, were you drinking? Soft or Hard? " maan sniffed her drinks. Geet so much wanted to slap him, instead giving compliments to her; he is more concerned about her drinks. Geet always blunt at her feelings to him, she tried her best to make him understand how much he affects her but still maan never boosted her advancements nor initiated things between them. Geet "Maan! you are not the only one have work to do! Even I've things to take care". Maan "I can see that what type of work you have! " Pointing to her dress "And THIS! Won't look like you are on field work.." Geet sneered "As if! You know what I do, this is none of your business, You always have this complaint whatever I do or say ..you could never understand my feelings" Maan grabbed her bare shoulders making her to winch "Stup up! Geet just shut up! " Geet knew that what effect she have on maan and she also knew maan always steeled his feelings for geet. His anger, his concern, his caring, his every actions screams out loud the only word, that is Love. "Do you know how dangerous this place is and worst it could get ? what do you think, dressing like this make you a top reporter. You are not a page 3 reporter'Have you checked yourself in mirror how appealing and ..and--" maan couldn't complete his sentence. Maan left her shoulders and turned around brushing his hair back. Maan smacked himself for almost voicing those words, Then he heard a voice behind them "And Sexy-Hot-Beautiful". Both maan and Geet turned to the man who was sitting in corner.
***********
Vikram was watching at both maan n geet since they arrived arguing each other sipping at his whisky sitting at one of the dark corner of the pub. His expressions are very well hidden from anyone who can say he is as calm as still water. He is fuming inside and impatience. He badly wants to get hold on to his anger and the situation. He wants to move both maan n geet from this place asap before his partner comes. Vikram have no patience to wait for them to leave the pub sooner. He have to think soon n make them to go away as soon as possible. He doesn't want any obstacle for his life's big deal, the deal which is going to change his life forever. He thought that both maan n geet had come to pub together and is not unknown about their feelings to each other. Vikram thought that even though he is doing illegal activities and being a drug addict he never thought a ill about his friends he always been protective towards his friends specially geet because he thought her as his own sister and never desired to harm her in any way knowing or unknowingly . Yet he is afraid of his dangerous friend's com illegal business partners that once they know his weakness they never hesitate to use them. He stood up and walked towards surprised maan n geet who are staring at him for his blunt comment. And maan was about to smack him and stopped in half way..Maan "Vicky! What the hell are you doing here?"'Geet was still fuming and gave accusing look to both dickheads. Vicky ignored maan's question "Geet! Why you always need to fight with maan when you both on date? " irritated geet "Date!! my foot! " Maan stared at geet ignoring the word "DATE" and sarcastic reply . Maan "Vicky! Why are you here? You were supposed to be In daliabaad?" Maan asked Vicky ignoring geet. Vicky frowned when he spotted his drug dealing partner behind the disc who was watching them over and was telling something in ear to one of his people. Vicky shaking his head "Maan! I am on leave ..remember I told you last week that I m taking off for a week! " . Irritated Geet " How cool of you Vicky! Even though not having girl friend you have taken off from work '.aur kuch log tho eh bhool jaathey hain ki wo bhi ek insaan hain'chaddo! Main jaarahi hoon! Ghar! bye " Geet gave a warm hug to Vicky ignoring maan and was about to leave. Maan immediately grabbed her right arm to stop her Maan "Wait! Geet meri baath tho suno!". At the same time one of the waiter arrived to their table with drinks in hand "Sir ! Ma'm your drinks" . geet "Per hum ne tho kohi drink order nahi kiya tha?". Maan's eyes surveyed whole place once again looking for the informer whom he supposed to meet here. Vicky was getting anxious with every passing minute! Vicky " I did! Meri taraf se tum dono ko treat!" Geet took orange juice glass " kis cheese ki treat Vicky?" Maan saw geet who was about to drink juice "Tum kya peerahi ho?" Sniffing her drinks maan questioned Vicky with one eyebrow rising. Vicky " Soft drinks for a beautiful lady and Scotch on rocks for us! ". Vicky asked sipping at his drinks "So! Geet Finally you made maan to take a break from work! Huh? He is such an workaholic ass " Geet burst into fits.."Seriously! Vicky you think, I have that much privilege.. on this kadhoos 'I am here on some Da.." Ragahv "Geet..!!", Geet's camera man interrupted them. "shall we leave now'our expected guest din't showed up today" ..Vicky asked Ragahv "Wait! What? Who are you?" Geet "Err.. he Is also my date'.u know my spare date! Like spare tire in vehicle ' 'kya pata iss kadhoos ka kohi barosa nahi hain'" showing her broad smile. Maan "GEET! !...Shut up! And you!" Pointing to ragahv " OUT! She is coming with me.."..confused ragahv "Geet! Are you sure? You want to go with him?" Geet sighed and looked over to maan, she thought this is a great chance to seduce her stubborn maan to make him realize that how much she loves him! Geet "Yes ! Ragahv..you can leave'I am staying for some more time! Will meet you at office tomorrow". Maan was listing to their conversation with mute expression firing daggers towards ragahv and Jealousy hit him hard. He wanted to kiss geet hard infornt of ragahv to make him realize that his geet is off limits and she is already taken. He forgot about everything at that instant , about his work & duty, about the people and surroundings'he put his hands around her shoulder pulling her to his hard chest.."Yeah! Geet will stay with me'! " said looking straight at shocked Geet! '" Maan felt light at head and as well his locked up emotions started to flow freely'Geet kept quite ..she didn't wanted to argue with him ..finally maan is showing some signs which she always longed. Even her feelings are overwhelming ..blame her uncontrolled heart ..it is beating too fast to stop any sooner. Vicky was thrilled to watch them both acting like love sick puppies rather strange. Vicky ordered another round drinks for them, Juice for Geet and Hard drinks for maan and himself.
Next Day morning @ 10.40 AM
Maan got irritated from his continuous ringing. He couldn't tell that is it the door ring or his cell or alarm. Groaning he tried to open his eyes blocking the light from his palms 'laying on his back and stared at the ceiling'.at first he thought 'he is at his flat..But the ceiling didn't seem to be familiar'again his thoughts were disturbed by a ring'.which made him to curse. His head felt heavy and was having a bad feeling about it though. He tired to locate his cell with closed eyes searching on the bed he was lying.. to which his eyes are having trouble with bright light coming through the window. He felt something soft-warm-globe shape like in this hands'and next he heard a female purring and murmur sound'.at first his mind was numb to the feel of that contact'and then last night visions played like a movie.
...To be Continued...
NOTE : Thanks for your time, patience and constant support. I know how it feels like reading incomplete OS. Please excuse for the mistakes.

Precap: Maan was laying in pool of blood, his mouth, his eyes, his nostrils, pour a blood; He sobs his soul out in the gush of blood. "Gunaah kia dil maine...yaar ka todh ke...Gunaah kia usse ik din, tanha chodh ke..." i'm the cause, i'm responsible for this pain, i'm the reason for all the sufferings. He was tired of this miserable pain, his Gunaah never let him live in peace. "Tu milna paaye..Hum jeena paaye..Kahin marna jaaye..." His heart beats are dieing, He tried to say something before slipping into deep sleep and never waking up again. "Gunaah kia dil maine...yaar ka todh ke...Gunaah kia usse ik...*Ashhh*...Mujhe maaf..."
