Riya's parents & ganguly family also in riya's home.they r also tensed.arjun's phone switched off.ganguly uncle called shree & tell everything.meanwhile riya's father called rathore.rathore says him to give the phone to riya.he did it.but riya can't say anything.she just hear rathore's voice,after calling him as sir,she just start to cry heavily.

Rathore:god!riya,calm down.rawte isn't a baby. I know he is ok,trust me

[but rathore can't trust even his word].ok,fine I m coming,we'll find arjun.just u don't cry,baba.

Riya dropped the phone &  start to cry.rathore collect his car's key,& leaves quickly for ariya's home.

Shree also reach riya's home.chotu start searching for arjun.rathore& shree enter ariya's home.they get shocked to see riya;she just madly crying.rathore goes to her & hug her.

Rathore;don't worry.he is ok& will come any moment.

Shree,trace his location.

Shree:sir,I tried.his phone is switched off.

Rathore:so,let's find him.& if I get him this time,I'll……

He stop after seeing riya's face.

Rathore,shree,riya,riya's father all leaves for searching arjun.they all looking for different places,but can't find him.it's already 4:45am.

After sometimes,riya ask rathore

Riya:sir, u r his friend.so u may be know where he can be when he is sad/angry.i mean any special place?

Rathore can't say anything.just got a flashback---

Arjun& he is running & playing by the side of sea.

They r in a short vacation.& rathore was having a small friends get together party in the beach.everybody sits like a oval around the bonfire.arjun was playing guiter & everybody prised him.just then a car stopped at the highway.rathore saw it & goes there.a girl step out from there.her father dropped her here.

Girl: don't worry,papa.i won't be too late.

Rathore:yes,uncle.don't worry.i'll drop her.

Girl:yeah,samu hai na meri sath… aap cinta maat karo.

Then the father left.rathore& the girl came to join the party.that was the 1^st time arjun saw her.

An angel in white dress with red veil step forward to the party,fire reflecting on her spotless face.

Arjun can't take off his eyes from her.he stopped to play the guiter & just in trance.that was the 1^st meeting of arjun-roshni.

It was arjun who is 1^st fall in love for roshni.he also ask rathore about his relation with roshni.rathore said that they are just best buddy from childhood.after hearing this,arjun's love story began.& there was a huge contribution of rathore to make this love story successful.

So,whenever arjun get mad/sad,even when he took a fight with roshni, he goes to the beach… on exactly that place where they 1^st met.roshni knew it& always came there to pacify arjun in the past. But now who'll?

 

Rathore backs in reality when riya again ask the same question.

Rathore;yes,I know it riya.let's go there.

[in the beach]

Arjun was so angry when he came here.don't know with whom he is mad!he takes off his shoes & start to walk in bare foot.he even walk into the water.when he feels tired,he just lie down in the beach.it's quite late of night.the sky is dark black & there is too many twinkling star.arjun touch roshni's chain,& call her.

Arjun: roshni,where r u today? Aren't u coming to pacify me today?i am really angry.don't know with whom.

Arjun closed his eyes.he feels that someone is hugging him sweetly.

He just whisper,"roshni…!"

Roshni placed her head on arjun's chest.arjun hug her,so did she.

Roshni:what's the matter,arjun?

Arjun:don't know,roshni.just feeling bad for everything.u know when the man about to hurt riya I just get a flashback of that day.

Arjun get shiver by mentioning that days,but roshni just give him a smile.

Arjun:why r u smiling?

Roshni:nothing.it just…

Arjun;what?

Roshni: u just love her,arjun.admit it!

Arjun:no,I m not!

Roshni: u can lie urself but not me. U love her,

U really & deeply love her arjun suryakant rawte.

Arjun give up this argument.but start a new one.

Arjun:but I love u more… more than anything.

Roshni gives him a sweet smile with tear on eyes& hug him.

Roshni:I know.it's ok arjun.

Arjun;no,it's not ok roshni.not for me. I learn the meaning of love from u. now,what's going on with me!it's all because I married her on that day.rathore was right.no one tell me to marry her,I did.now for this damn marriage……………………………………

Roshni:don't dare to talk about marriage like that ACP arjun!u don't hav any right.beside,it's the great things of ur life since I gone.

Arjun,u learn the meaning of love from me.now u'll see how to love someone unconditionally. Riya loves u on that way.she'll never ask her right from u.but always support u,love u,take care of u.she is that kind of girl who can do anything for anyone without hoping any feedback,u also know that.then why r u deceiving both u & her?just except the real fact.riya will never take my place& will never try for it.i am not afraid of losing my place from ur life,so why r u afraid?give her right place arjun,please give it to her.

Arjun can't say anything,just hug her.after sometimes

Arjun:I love u roshni.

Roshni[with smile]:yes,u love us both[she means riya&her]

Daylight start to spread out.& arjun's trance break.he is searching for roshni,but she wasn't there.how could she be??!!

He gets up from beach land.start to walk for his car.

Just then,a car stop on the road.someone open the door.& a girl exits from there quickly.

In a white dress,with a red veil,sunlight reflected on her spotless face……

Riya sees arjun& run towards him.rathore also sees him.so he gives some privet time to ariya& stand near the car.

Arjun is just surprised to see riya.

Riya reach to arjun & start to hit him with hand.1^st arjun was shocked then start to defend himself like the 1^st glance of ariya on sheen missing case!

Riya can't stop crying. she hug him & start to cry loudly.arjun also hug her back & try to stop her.but she wasn't.suddenly he sees that riya is almost in unconscious state.she can't even breath.

Arjun:riya! Riya! I am ok.just look ,I m ok.

But she isn't replying.

Arjun:sam! Bring some water quickly!

Rathore heard arjun's scream & rush to the near by tea stall to collect water.after collecting,he rush to them.

Arjun is nervously calling out riya's name.rathore gives the water& arjun spread it on riya's face.rathore checks riya's pulse.it's very weak.

Rathore;see,what u did to this girl??arjun,I won't forgive u this time. I don't hav such a big heart to forgive u everytime,if anything happens to her……

Arjun:nothing will happen to her,sam.i won't let anything happens to riya!ever again.

Just then riya moved a little bit.she also open her eyes slowly.

Riya: Ar…arjun……s[before she could say sir arjun start to talk]

Arjun:yes riya,I m here.

Arjun hug her more tightly& kiss her on forehead.

Riya gives a weak still sweet smile & closed her eyes on arjun chest,peacefully.
