K- her us cheez k liye jo tumne mujhe di aur us lamhe k liye jo hamne saath bitaya her us yaad k liye jo mere dil main hamesha mehfooz rahengi her us ehsaas k liye jo tumne mujhe mehsoos kerwaya her pal her ghadi k liye jab maine mehsos kiya k koi hai jis ko meri perwah hai her us her us muskurahat k liye jo tumne mujhe di her us khushi k liye jo meri zindagi main tumhari wajah se aayi her us rang k liye jo meri berang zindagi ko rang gaya tumhare piyar k liye jo meri zindagi ko bilkul badal gaya her us..…

Sujal cuts her in btwn..

S- kashish ye sab maine tumhare liye nahi kiya ye sab maine apne aap k liye kiya hai bohat selfish hu main koi bhi cheez maine tumhare liye nahi ki..

Kashish looks @ him in confusion

S- haan kashish ye sab maine apne aap k liye kiya hai kyu ki agar tumhare chehre pe pareshani hoti hai to meri dhadkane rukne lagti hai tumhari muskaan tumhari khushi mere liye meri zindagi se bhi bhad k hain agar tumhare chehre pe khushi k rang dekhta hu to mujhe ek ajeeb sa ehsaas hota hai khushi ka ehsaas sukoon ka eksaas pyaar ka ehsaas.. tumhare honto ki ek muskaan k liye main kuchh bhi ker sakta hu kashish kuchh bhi…..

Kashish had tears in her eyes & a tear fall from her eye..

Sujal holds that tear on his finger..

S- bas ek issi cheez se tumhe door rakhna chahta hu kashish tumhare aankhon se nikalte aansu mere dil pe tezaab ban k girte hain bohat takleef hoti hai kashish jab bhi inhe tumhari aankhon main dekhta hu bohat takleef..

Kashish cant take it any more & she goes in to his arms..

She higs him veryyy tightly & sujal too holds her as if in dono ko darr ho k kahin dono ko koi alag na ker le…

Then there was noise of thunder & both separate from each other both were looking outside of the window….

S- lagta hai k koi toofan aane wala hai?

K- haan bijli bhi bohat zoron se chamak rahe hai aur hawa bhi kitni tez hai…

S- hmm

K- chalo khidki band kerlete hain is se pehle k toofan ander aajaye..

S- jo cheez aani hoti hai wo to aa ker he rehti hai..

K- matlab???

S- kuchh nahi main khidki band ker deta hu.

Sujal closes the window

S- raat bohat ho gayi hai kashish tum thak bhi gayi hogi ja k so jao..

K- aur tum??

S- mujhe thoda sa kaam hai main us baad so jaonga..

K- sujal kitna kaam karoge tum? Subah se le ker tum office main the shaam ko wapis aaye to phir chal diye meeting k liye aura b bhi keh rahe ho k kaam kerna hai.. koi kaam vaam nahi kerna ab tum so ge aur kuch nahi karoge..

Saying this she holds sujal's hand & use almost pull kerte hue sofa tak le jati hai & made him lay on the sofa & cover him wid some sheet…

K- ab tum subah koi he uth k koi kaam karoge ye na ho k mere sone k baad tum bahir ja k kaam kerne lago..

Sujal only smiling @ her..

K- ab kuch kaho ge bhi ya aese he mujhe dekhte jao ge..aur tum muskura kyu rahe ho? Kya main tumhe koi joker dikhayi deti hu??

S- array tum mujhe kuch bolne do to kuchh kahu ga na..

Kashish gets a bit embarrassed on this..

K- achha achha theek hai kaho kya kehna chahte ho?

S- nothing more like u bas itna kahuga k tum ja k so jao aur main kahin nahi jauga..

K- ok Goodnight

S- goodnight..

Kashish turns around & goes to the bed with sweet smile on her face & sujal was looking @ her back & he too had killing smile on his face..

Both close their eyes & fall asleep while thinking abt each other..

It's a new day sujal opens his eyes & sees that kashish is getting ready…

He came & stand behind her..

Kashish who was now filling her mang with sindoor & was looking really happy she didn't realize that sujal was there standing behind her she was so lost in her thoughts when she is done with sindoor she looks @ him from the mirror..

Sujal was smiling @ her..

S- good morning

K- nahi koi khas wajah nahi hai bas aese he..

S- sure??

Sujal went out then kashish sees that sujal had 4goten his file she takes the file & runs behind him..

Sujal was standing by his car looking up in the sky when kashish comes & sees him like that & comes to him..

Hearing this kashish smiled shy fully.

S- ye hue na baat & dekho now m fresh sari thakan door hogayi main abhi tayyar ho k aata hu..

Kashish nods & sujal leaves to get ready..

After some time sujal & kashish came down & all leave 4 dinner…

All went 2 a open restaurant & then on a drive they all enjoyed very much & then the rain starts…

They all spent some more time 2gather & then sujal drops akshat & charu @ their home & then SK came to their home sweet home..

Kashish car se utar k runs inside she looks back & finds that sujal is note there with her she came out again & sees that sujal is standing & enjoying in the rain….

K- sujal ye kya ker rahe ho? Chalo ander aajao nahi to bimar ho jao ge..

S- come on kashish ab barish roz roz to hoti nahi hai so lets enjoy it aur tum wahan khadi khadi kya ker rahe ho? Come & enjoy the rain…

K- nahi sujal mujhe barish nahi pasand…

S- kya??

Then he comes to her…

S- tumhe barish nahi pasand? Kashish mere khayal se tum ek he aesi ladki ho is duniya main jise barish pasand na ho….

K- haan sujal theek kaha tumne per pehle mujhe barish bohat pasand hua kerti thi main bhi aese he tumhari tarrah barish main bheega kerti thi aur papa mujhe bula bula k thak jate the lekin main nahi jati thi per phir….

Sujal was looking @ her as she was telling him abt the rain & sujal had smile on his face seeing the dreamy look on her face as if she is reliving those moments but suddenly the dreamy look changes in to sad one..

S- per kya kashish??

Kashish realized that wo kuchh zyada he bol gayi hai..

K- nahi kuch nahi…

S- meri aankhon main dekho kashish aur kaho kya baat hai??

Kashish looks in to his eyes & she didn't know what was in his eyes & she starts to telling him..

K- phir ek din isi barish main mujhe mere papa se hamesha hamesha k liye door kiya gaya..

(jis din lalit ki death hue thi & use antim sanskar k liye le jaya jar aha tha us din barish ho rahe thi)

saying that kashish had tears in her eyes..

sujal looks @ her 4 a while & then says….

S- mere saath aao kashish..

Kashish looks @ him..

K- kahan?

S- bahir lawn main..

K- nahi sujal barish main nahi…

S- kashish zaroori nahi k agar kisi ek cheez se hamari takleef da yaden judi hue ho to us cheez se door bhaga jaye ulta hamen to us cheez k saath koi achi yaad jod leni chahiye ta ki jab bhi ham us cheez ko dekhen to hamen apni takleef da yaad nahi balki ek achhi si yaad yaad rahe aur hamari aankhon main aansu nahi balki honto pe ek muskaan ho…

Kashish was looking in to his eyes & sujal had that power to take over on her with the help of his intense eyes..

Now kashish was looking in his eyes….

S- mere saath aao kashish…

Sujal hols her hand & takes her to the lawn Kashish like a robot follows him..

Both stand in the center kashish was now all wet in the rain sujal was already wet…

Sujal & kashish were standing really close to each other & were looking in to each others eyes..

Both didn't said anything just keep looking in to each others eyes…

Then after some time sujal breaks the silence..

S- kashish aaj k baad is barish se tumhari koi dukhi nahi balki khoobsurat yadein vabasta hongi ab jab bhi barish ho gi tumhari aankhon main aansu nahi balki honto pe ek dilnashin muskan hogi zahen main mazi(past) ki kadwi yadon ka andhera nahi balki mohabbat se judi yadon ki roshni hogi…

S- aaj k baad tum ye nahi socho gi k tumhare saath aasman bhi ro raha hai per tum ye socho gi k tumhare oper aasman mohabbat ki barish barsa raha hai ab tumhare daman main tumhare mazi ki chubti hue yaden nahi per mujh se mere pyaar se judi hamari aane wali zindagi se judi khoobsurat yadein hongi jinhe sametne k liye tumhara daman bhi chhota pad jayega kashish aur ye vaada hai mera tumse kashish….

Kashish was looking in his eyes all the time & had tears in eyes with sweet smile on her lips..

K- itna pyaar mat karo sujal k kahin meri he nazar na lag jaye..

S- abhi to ye shuruwat hai kashish abhi tumne meri pyaar ki had dekhi he kahan hai..

K- tum itne ache kyu ho sujal?

Sujal smiles @ her silly question..

S- kyu ki us oper wale ne (pointing 2 sky) mujh se kaha k jis ladki ka saath main tumhari kismat main likh raha hu wo bohaaaaat achhi hai aura b zahir se baat hai jab tum itni achhi ho to mujhe bhi to achha banna padega na..

Kashish smiles btwn tears..

K- I love u sujal…

& she hugs him..

sujal wraps his arms around her..

S- love u too..

After sometime they separate again were lost in each others eyes..

Slowly sujal starts to come closer to her face sujal was coming close to her & there was the distance of some inches btwn their lips they both can feel each others breath on face sujal breath was making kashish melt she just want to be in his arms kashish closed her eyes as she knows what was going to happen..

Sujal was going remove the distance when the noise of thunder made him back to senses & he realized what he was going to do..

He turns around with guilty look on his face….

Kashish was still in the same position.. after some time she opens her eyes & sees that sujal is standing @ a distance with his back to her..

K- sujal…..

B4 kashish can say more sujal interrupts her still facing the other way..

S- M sorry kashish pata nahi…. main kese….. I lost my control m sorry m really very sorry..

Saying this he goes in leaving a confused kashish..

Sujal k jane k baad kashish wahin khadi rehti hai then she recall what just happened btwn them & she had shy smile..

K- ab aur nahi sujal u don't have to control over ur feelings anymore…

Then she too went in..

She came in the room & find sujal was sleeping on sofa she knew that he is not sleeping but decide not to say anything now & w8 4 a right time..

She too went to change & comes on the bed but sleep was not ready to come to her only the moments which she shared with her love her sujal were coming infront of her eyes as she closes her eyes..

On the other hand sujal was also not able sleep the close moment with kashish made him feel guilty…

S- ye kya ker diya maine???aesa kese ker sakta hu main?? Kashish kitna bharosa kerti thi mujhe pe k us ki ijazat k bina I wont do anything like that aur maine………..ye kya hogaya mujh se???

Kashish after a lot of struggle falls sleep but sujal was still awake…

3:00 Am

sujal mobile rings….

He pick it up wondering who could be that who's calling @ this time..

It was the manager sujal's delhi office…

The manager said that there is some problem with the delivery of consignment & he is needed here in delhi..

Sujal agreed to come..

He goes to washroom & came back after change..

He comes to the bed & looks @ kashish who was smiling in her sleep then sujal took a notepad & write…

Kashish

Mujhe ek zaroori kaam k silsile main delhi jana pad raha hai its 3:15 am so tumhe jagana theek nahi samjha is liye is note k zariye tumhe inform ker raha hu hosakta hai k kaam ki wajah se tumhe phone bhi na ker saku per tum pareshan mat hona & apna khayal rakhna….

Sujal

He puts the note on the side table of bed & leaves…

It was morning now kashish opens her eyes & once again the moment of her & sujal flashed infront of her & she smiled. She looks @ the sofa & finds that empty she thinks that may be sujal is awake B4 her & she goes to get ready..

Then she came down & find that sujal is not here too she thinks that may be aaj jaldi office chala gaya ho & she decides to call him she dials his number but it says that "not reach able"…

She goes to the room & sees that his office beg is note here then she calls him again on his cell but again the same prblm…

She gets a bit worried & dials office number…

The receptionist takes the call & she asks abt sujal but she said that he is not in the office…

Now kashish was really worried that where else sujal could be gone??

She opens the window & hawa ka tez jhonka ander aata hai jo kashish ki zulfen & sujal k likhe hue note ko uda deta hai..

Now the note is laying on the floor..

Kashish kuchh dair aese he window k pass khadi reahti hai then she goes out without noticing the paper…

She came down & sits on the sofa…

Kaka comes to her…

Ka- bitiya nashta laga du?

K- nahi kaka bhook nahi hai..

Ka- thoda sa kha lo beti agar sujal bete ko pata chal gaya to wo naraz ho jayega.

K- nahi kaka kuchh nahi hoga..aap plz mere room ki safayi kerwade pehle tab tak main neeche ka kaam dekhti hu..

Ka- theek hai beti..

Kaka with an other servant goes to clean the room & during the safayi kaka finds sujal's note..

Ka- ye kya hai?? Is pe to kuch likha bhi hai.. kashish bitiya ko dikhata hu ho sakta hai k koi zaroori kaghaz ho..

He was going to show that to kashish but then…

Ka- nahi agar kaam ka hota to zameen pen a gira hua hota zaroori koi aese he hoga pehle he kashish bitiya aaj kuchh pareshan lag rahe hain aur phir itni chhoti si baat k liye use pareshan kerna theek nahi hoga phenk he deta hu ise..

& he throws the paper In dustbin..

it ws evening now & still no sign of sujal she tried his mobile number but still it was not reachable then she dials akshat's number & told everything to him akshat too gets worried abt him & tells kashish not to pe worried as he is coming there & will try to find sujal.

10:00 Pm

kashish charu & akshat were in the hall of Garewal Mansion w8ing 4 sujal all were worried abt him..

on the other hand sujal was now coming back to shimla he didn't got time to call kashish & his cell was now off due to low battery he was driving fast so that he can reach soon..

he had the project file with him jo k office deni thi so he decides that wo file apne cabin main rakhne k baad he ghar jayega..

so he went office no 1 was there except the watchmen..

he went inside & comes back after some time..every one @ office knews abt sujal.

W/M- sir aap akshat sir charu madam & kashish madam aap ki wajah se bohat pareshan hain aap kahan the?

S- kya sab pareshan hian?

W/M- ji sir..

S- lekin maine to note….? Kher main abhi ghar he jar aha hu..

& he leaves..

So then watchman calls akshat & informs him that sujal aaya tha & he is coming home..

Akshat informs the ladies too & kashish k lifeless chehre pe ek itminan aajata hai….

Back to sujal….

He was driving as fast as he can tabhi road k beecho beech ek car park ki hue hoti hai..

Sujal horn deta hai per koi bhi nahi aata so he came out of the car & us parked car ki taraf jane lagta hai tabhi 5/6 log use gher lete hain..

Sujal looks @ them & says..

S- ye koi car park kerne ki jagah nahi hai aap apni car side kijiye mujhe jana hai..

Tab ek awaz aati hai..

V- ker dege side itni bhi kya jaldi hai? Pehle hisab to barabar ker le..

Sujal turns around & find a guy standing there..

S- tum????

V- haan main acha hua nahi bhoole tum mujhe wese agar bhool bhi jate to Piyush Gujral ko yaad kerwana aata hai..

Oh so that's piyush with his gunda party..

S- kya chahte ho?

P- kuchh khas nahi bas hisab barab kerna chahta hu zindagi main pehli baar kisi ne piyush gujral pe haath uthaya hai aura b us haath ko is ki saza milegi..

Ye kehte he piyush apni gunda party ko ishara kerta hai & they all attack on sujal..

Per sujal was not that much easy as they were thinking him..

Sujal was beating the gunda party piyush was standing @ the side & watching all this & in btwn he was shouting @ his mens that hit him ,what r u doing ? just kill him….

But sujal was tough wo in 5/6 bando pe bhari pad raha tha then piyush from the behind hits him on his head with hockey..

Sujal holds his head & turns around now all the gunfa party gathered to beat him..

All were beating sujal they were kicking him punching him hitting him with sticks / hockey..

Then piyush made him stand & hit him with knife in his stomach in left side.

Then sujal fall on his knees & then on the ground..

Then 1 from his man comes to him..

M- ye kya kiya tumne? Agar ye mar gaya to??

Ye sun k piyush pareshan hojata hai & wo sab wahan se bhag jate hian..

Sujal was laying on the ground on his stomach..

Garewal Mansion…

All 3 were w8ing 4 sujal but now ot was 11:30 pm..

K- akshat main ja rahe hu..

Ak- kahan jao gi kashish?

K- office..hosakta hai k kahin raste main sujal mil jaye…

Ak- per..

C- kashish theek keh rahe hai akshat chalo chalet hain..

They all leaves 4 office..

On the way there was a huge crowd & kashish was looking @ the crowd they pass from the crowd when kashish said..

K- akshat stop the car mujhe wahan jana hai..

Ak- kashish hamara pehle office jana imp hai..

K- nahi mujhe wahan ja k dekhna hai k kya hua hai?

Ak- per..

K- plz akshat..

Then akshat car park kerne wala hota hata hai B4 he can stop the car tab tak kashish car se nikal k crowd ki tarraf ja rahe hoti hai..

Jese jese kashish crowd ki tarraf badh rahe hoti hai wese wese us k dil main ajeeb ajeeb khayalat aarahe hote hian..

Wo bari mushkil se crowd ko almost chherte hue center pe pohanchti hai where she sees that one person is laying on the ground with his back 2wards her..

Kashish jese he us aadmi ko dekhti hai wese he use aesa lagta hai jese kuchh hone wala hai..

She starts to go to the person & as she was going near the person she was feeling as some 1 is taking her breath away from her..

Finally she was standing near the person she sits down & darte hue kashish turn the person & that was sujal who was laying on the ground..

She sees him sujal khoon main latpat pada tha & zameen pe bhi bohat sara khoon hota hai & jo white shirt sujal ne pehni hoti hai wo ab tak poori red ho chuki hoti hai..

Kashish ko samajh main nahi aata k wo kya kare? She was numb 4 a moment then she came back to senses & she puts sujal's head in her lap & shakes him..

K- sujal…sujalll utho sujalllll plz sujal uthooooo

She was saying this while shaking him..

Wo bilkul paglo ki tarah use shake kiye ja rahe hoti hai

K- sujall

Then she shouts…

K- SUJAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlll…………

& she again start to shake him & was crying loudly (like kashish did with piyush's body on kth)

K- akshatttttttttttttttttt…

Akshat & charu jo k kashish k rone & chilane ki awaz pehle he sun chuke the crowd se nikalne ki koshish ker rahe the & finally they succeeded & sees the scene infront of their eyes..

Kashish was crying & shaking sujal like crazy & sujal was laying in her lap wet in blood..
