Part 1:
2015: (After 2 year):
Evening: Mother Teresa Orphanage:
"Thank you so much for the help Arjun sir ..." Shantiji, Care taker of that orphanage, in her 40's, showered her gratitude...
Arjun helped to save the land on which orphanage is built from corrupted and powerful politician of that place... He fought in his own way to get back shelter for 15 orphaned children...
"Jo sahi hai... Mein ne wahi kiya..." Arjun smiled...
"Aap ETF wale, dil se bahot acche hai, yeh mujhe aaj pata chala..." Shantiji Complimented...
"Teekhe... Abhi mein chalta hoon..." He took his leave...
****************************************
Garden:
As Arjun walked out of orphanage... Pleasant smile appeared on his face as he saw children playing around... There smile is magical... Innocence is personified in their eyes... Their innocence attract everyone... Kids are incredible...
Arjun walked with a smile watching them playing... He came across a kid who sat silent in one corner away from everyone... There is no sign of smile and his eyes carry fear... What is he afraid of...?? He looked at him for a moment, he should be around four or five years... Arjun walked towards him but stopped at Sameer's ring... He informed him to come back soon, so he left from there...
******************************************
Open jail: Mumbai:
Open jails are minimum security prisons. Prisoners with good behavior satisfying certain norms prescribed in the prison rules are admitted in open prisons. Prisoners are engaged in various activities... She sat before a plant and carefully pours water to it... Her motherly care towards plant kept it healthy... She caressed it leaves and looked at it with her painful eyes... There is sad smile with wet eye, "EK saal hogaya hai... Abb tum 5 saal ki hogaye honge... Tum teekh toh hona beta...???" She spoke to plant... She saw her 5 year old son in that small herb...
With the ring of bell, her gardening time came to end... She got up and glance it last time before leaving... A lone tear rolled down... She wiped and walks from there... Lady guards who are supervising prisoners walked from there after their activity...
"Yeh kaun hai...???" One of the lady guard questioned...
"Tum yaha naya aaye ho na... Iss ka naam Sakshi hai... 1 saal se yaha hai... Jab yeh yaha aayi thi, iss paude ko plant kiya... Tab se iss ka khayal rakhti hai..." Other guard anwered...
"Dikhne mein toh shareef lagti hai... Iss ne kaunsa jurm kiya...???" She enquired...
"Apne pati ko maar ke aayi hai..." She said...
***************************************************
ETF: Arjun's Cabin:
He was lost thinking about that small little kid... Hs innocent and chubby wore no smile and those beautiful eyes have fear... He wanted to meet him and talk to him... He wants to know about that guy...
"Arjun... Arjun..." Sameer shook him... Arjun jerked out of thoughts, "Kitne daer se bhula raha hoon... Ki ski khayalo mein khoye hue ho...??" Sameer enquired...
"Aaj subha mein jab orphanage gaya tha, waha mein ne ek bache ko dekha tha... Bahot cute sa bacha hai. Par bahot dara aur sehma hua hai..." Arjun said...
"Tum zyada matt socho... Abb chalo..." He said...
**********************************************
Open Jail: Sakshi's Cell:
She sat on a bench attached to the wall... Cops wandered around, all business... The few jail cells held multiple prisoners. There is a small thick window placed in the wall high, criss-crossed with wire... Cell door is made of bars and there is an opening of 4 feet... Room is made of 3 walls and bars as the main door... She is alone in her cell... There are some books in her cell which are available in the library of that open jail... Most of the books are to control anger, How to be good person..?? And philosophy... She preferred philosophical books... There are some papers with sketches...
She completed her sketch and looked at briefly... It is her son's sketch, "Mamma tumse mohobbat pyaar karti hai Aarav... Par tumse dur rehna meri majboori hai... Mein har pal tere saath rehna chati thi... Par zindagi bar ke liye, dur ho gayi... Hey baghwaan, mere bete ka khayal rakhna... Usse har kushi dena..."

Next Day:
Mother Teresa Orphanage:
"Aarav, khana kha lo beta..." Care taker tried to feed him... But he didn't even open his mouth... She is trying to feed him from last five minutes... He turned his head left and right...
"Nahi... Mujhe nahi khana hai..." They head mimic voice... Care taker turned to it, Arjun is standing there... She smiled and took a step back... He went ahead with his hand puppet and kept t before him, "Itna ganda mein nahi khata hoon... Mujhe sirf chocolates aur chips chahiye..."
He slowly raised his eyes to puppet, "Chocolates mein sirf Bounty... Ek baar kya hua pata hai, mein Bounty ki truck ke peeche baa raha tha... Baag baag ke tak gaya aur ek shop ke pass rukh gaya... Andar gaya toh bahot sare chocolates te... Bahot sare Bounty's mere uppar gir gaye..." He encated... Aarav smiled... "Mere naam Bounty hai, aur aapka ...???"
"Aarav..." He said...
"Aap mujhse dosti karenge...???" He said pulling down the puppet...
"Ha..." he said in his soft voice...
"Toh pehle aap khana khayenge... Phir hum mil kar Bounty khayenge..." Arjun gave a cheeky smile... Aarav smiled with him...
"Khana khilao..." Aarav said... He was ready and happy to feed him... He took plate from Care taker's hand and started feeding Aarav...
Aarav completed his food, "Yeh lijiye aapka chocolate..." Arjun gave him two Bountys, "Aap khayiye... Hum haath dho kar aate hai..." Arjun left from there...

Care Taker's Office Room:
"Pehli baar Aarav ko muskhurate hue dekha hai mein ne..." Shantiji said...
"Aarav ko yaha kis ne join kiya...??" Arjun enquired...
"Ek saal pehle, inke chacha yaha chodke chale gaye... Iss ek saal mein humne isse muskhurate hue kabhi nahi dekha, kisi se baat nahi karta hai... kisi se khelta nahi... Pehli baar aap se baat karte hue dekha hai..." She said...
"Iss ke parents...??" Arjun enquired...
"Iss ka maa-baap ka kuch nahi pata... Join karte samai, iska naam Aarav kaha tha... Bass..." She said... They were silent, "Aapko jab bhi samai milega, Aarav se milne zaroor aana, kyun ki aapko woh pasand karta hai..."
"Zaroor ... Aarav se milne mein zaroor aaunga..." He said...
********************************************
Garden:
Arjun played with him and spent some time telling stories... He gave him Puppet which he brought for him... It is time for him to leave, "Aarav, abhi mujhe jaana hai... Ok..." Arjun got up from his place...
Aarav held his hand stopping, "Aap phir se aayenge na...??" He questioned in his childish voice...
Arjun kneeled down before him, "Pakka..." He said...
"Promise...???" He showed his palm...
"Pakka Promise..." Arjun placed his hard palm on his soft palm...
