Rathoresighs hearing the reference made to their martyred teammate: ...tum mujhe merenaam se bula sakte ho

Arjun:Rathore please... ye waqt nahi hai in saari baaton ka

Rathore:badla le rahe ho?

Arjun(sternly): Rathore I said Not NOW!!!

Flashback

The14th of the February had shown its own kind of cases. Getting a respite fromscorned lovers and their revenges, the ETF had had a teenager calling them upfor immediate help. When they reached the destination however, it was only acase of a boyfriend dumping his girlfriend on the special day.

Theofficers didn't know whether to be angry or laugh? And had let her off with awarning. All of them returned to office. Arjun walked to his cabin and relaxedon the chair. After a sip of water he picked up a file to read. A piece ofcolorful red and pink card fell out of the file when he opened it. He bent topick the card.

Arjunmv "ye toh valentine's day ka card hai..yaha kaise?" He opens it tofind a poetry printed on it. There was a handwritten note too...

Dear Arjun,

I'm sure ki jis insaan se chote se chota surag nahi chutta usne itnibadi baat ke baare mein pata hi hoga. Isliye bina time waste kiye, main sirfyahi kahungi ki main tumse bahot pyaar karti hun aur tumhare liye puri duniya sebhi lad jaungi. Aaj valentine's day hai aur aaj ke din main humare rishte kinayi shuruwat karna chahti hu.

Tumhari aur sirftumhari,

Sakshi.

Arjuncloses the card and sighs. He removes his phone and texts her.

Conferenceroom,

Chotu:yaar, aaj ke din bhi kaam karna pad raha hai.

Shree:are Chotu hum jaise kunwaro ke liya kya Valentine's aur kya normal? Shukar maanki koi khatarnaak case nahi aaya...waise complaint toh Ayesha ko karnichahiye haina? (Ayesha looks at him) kya plan hai raat ka? Pati dev ke saath?

Liza:uhu Specky!...ye pucho Chief Pati ke sath kya plan hai? Aur by the way zara yebata madam, ki office ka toh theek hai, lekin ghar par boss kaun hai?

Ayesha(bored):ho gaya tum dono ka?

Shree:kya yaar? Thoda sa normal ladki ki tarah sharma lo? Atleast apne pati ke liye

Ayeshabored look dekar firse apni file mein ghusti hai.

Chotu:ye Ayesha sharmaye na sharmaye (Sakshi ko dekhkar) koyi aur khayali pulavzaroor pakka raha hai

Sabdekhte hai Sakshi apni hi duniya mein mast hai. Isse pehle ki koyi use hilaye,uske phone mein message aata hai. Sakshi immediately check karti hai.

Arjun- Meet me in my cabin

Sakshikhush ho jaati hai

Liza:kya baat hai Sakshi? Badi muskura rahi ho? Boyfriend ka message hai kya?

Sakshi(uthte hue) : kuch aisa hi samaj lo. Aur wink karke bahar chali jaati hai.

Shree(confused):uh...please correct me? Ye Arjun sir par line maarti haina?

Liza:I'd really love to but, um... you're right

Onthe other hand, Sakshi khushi-khushi Arjun ke paas jaati hai aur seedhe uskecabin mein enter karti hai.

Arjun:dekho Sakshi! Main tumhari feelings ki kadar karta hun, lekin mere dil meintumhare liye kuch nahi hai, tum meri colleague ho, isse zyaada aur kuch nahi,behtar hoga agar tum unhe apne saath hi rakho

Sakshi(shocked):ye tum kya keh rahe ho Arjun?

FlashbackEnds

Arjunko kuch samaj mein nahi aa raha ki woh kya kare? Usne kabhi bhi Sakshi ko istarah nahi dekha. Aaj pehli baar usne uske andar aisi aag dekhi aur use dekhkaruse bilcul bhi acha nahi lag raha tha.

Arjunmv "something's wrong!"

Wohgehri saans lekar apni car ki taraf badhta hai. Chalte-chalte uska sar bhaarihone lagta hai

Arjunmv "God! I need to sleep"

Tillthe time woh driver's seat par baithta hai, uski drive karne ki surety chalijaati hai.

Arjunmv "achanak kya ho gaya? (groaning) mera sar!"

Wohgaadi mein chaabi enter karta hai lekin ghuma nahi pata aur behosh ho jaatahai. Back seat par baitha insaan chain ki saans leta hai. Woh aage shift hokarArjun ko passenger seat par shift karti hai aur drive karke apni destinationpar le jaati hai.

2ghante baad-

Arjunek chair se bandha hua hai. Koi us par paani chidhak kar hosh mein laata hai.Disturb hokar Arjun ki aankhein irritate hoti hai. Woh dheerese apni aankheinkholne ki koshish karta hai. Reflexively woh apne haath hilata hai par wohbandhe hue hai. Uski aankhein khulti hai par kamre mein andhera hai.

Arjuntries to adjust his eyes to the darkness: koi hai?

Afigure shuffles in front of him: ha

Arjun(shocked) mv "ladki? Kahi Sakshi toh nahi?" : kyun lekar aayi ho tummujhe yaha? (angrily) Tumhi Ne Mujhe Behosh Kiya Tha Right? Kitni baar samjhautumhe? I Don't Love You!!!

Ladki(confusedand dejected): But isn't that what people do? Love each other? Kya aap mujhsepyaar karna nahi seekh sakte the? Aapke dil mein itna pyaar hai ki puri duniyase kar sakte hai toh fir mujhse kyun nahi? Maine kaunsa gunaah kiya hai?

Arjunjust looked away. Anger running through his veins, his fists balled at the backof the chair.

Ladki:...mainkabhi aapke saath bura nahi karna chahti thi, sach

Arjun(sarcastically):logon ko kidnap karna unke saath bura karna hi hota hai.

Ladki:dusro se pyaar karwa kar khud na karna, bura karna hota hai

Arjunblasts out: I'LL NEVER LOVE YOU!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!!!

Ladki(confused):I... I... didn't ask you to. I never did. Even if you didn't learn to loveme. Aapko mujhe pyaar na karne ka haq hai lekin mera pyaar khatam karne ke liyekoi haq nahi hai.

Arjun:yeah right! Isliye tumne office mein itna bada tamasha kiya?

Ladki:wait, what? Hold on! (controlling her emotions) I can't do this anymore!

Wohswitchboard ke paas jaakar lights on karti hai. Arjun reflexively aankhein bandkar deta hai. Ladki Arjun ke haath kholkar uske saamne aati hai. Arjun apniaankhein dheerese kholta hai. Uske pairon tale zameen khisak jaati hai.

Arjun:TUM?!?!?!...
