uday bete where r u?- DS's voice sunded impatient and worried..-- itna kharab mausam hain... u shud come home soon..!! ur mom,dad and i are really very worried..ghar mein mehmaan aye huye hain... sab aapka intezaar kar rahe hain...
Uday- are DS hum jaan bujhkar late nhi ho rahe hain.. mausam itna kharab hain...ki rasta bhi thikse dikhayi nhi de raha hain.. am trying Ds.. to reach home ssoner.. bt i dnt think its possible.. OMG... SHIIITT..!!!
the car screeched and halted just abt time to save a horrible accident. A huge tree has been uprooted by the storm and it lay across the road,blocking it totally...
Uday heaved a sign of relief.. if it had been a second later,he wud have crashed his car into it..
the phone had dropped frm his hands,he picked it up- hello..!! DS?
Ds- beta kya hua? kitni der se awaz de rahe hain.. aap thk to ho na?
uday- haan DS.. hum thk hain.. bas woh ek... he stopped- kuch nhi.. abhi hum rakhte hain.. kya hain ki.. we shud nt make a call while driving na?
DS- okay beta.. bas jaldi se aa jaiye.. i mean.. koshish kijiye.. aur apke whereabouts ke bare mein hume khabar dete rahiyega..
uday- bye DS.. he hung up and tossed the phone behind.. no more calls.. it cud even risk his life...
the tree was impossible to be moved, he had to look for another way.. he turned back his car and drove in the direction frm wich he came.
the rain was pouring heavily.. as if it did nt care abt anyone or anything at all... it was becoming more and more difficult to see through the blurred winscreen.. uday thot that if he kept on driving like this,surely he was going to meet with some deadly accident.. so he decided tyo quit and started looking for some place to put himself up for the night..
Suddenly his car started making nasty sounds.. his throat became dry.. if it stopped there.. in the middle of the highway,he wudnt get anything at thiat time of the hour and neither wud he find any place to spend the night.. to his utmost disappointment and shock,the engine stopped.. he turned the key... it only made angry sounds.. bt did nt start...
Damn..!!- uday slapped on the stering hard...-- wat am i to do now? shud i call home? he picked up his phone.. no network coverage...
angry and frustrated,he got out of the car in the rain... there was nt a single soul anywhere.. at least he cudnt see one... no houses,no cars, no shops, nothing...
uday- abey yeh jaga kaunsi hain? he thot to himself... bt oviously there wasnt any answer...
he decided to get inside his car and wait...
once inside,he locked all doors and windows... and switched on the stereo...
not bad..!---he thot -- aab bas ye raat kisitarah kat jaye.. he closed his eyes...
THUMP..!!...
aaahhh...!!! --uday cried out to see the figure outside his window... in the rains,he cudnt see clearly.. bt someone, go knows who... was looking at him frm outside,his hands pressed on the glass window... he did nt move,he did nt make a sound... uday's heart started to race wildly.. he wasnt superstitious.. bt something told hiom inside nt to open the window...
THUMP..!! THUMP...!!- the man outside thumped on the glass slowly...
gaining his strength,udfay pushed down the glass... it was a man al right.. maybe a drunk... or maybe a psycho.. he just kept standing there.. watching him... water dripping frm his hairs and clothes...
uday- aap...??? kaun hain aap? itni rat ko yahan kya kar rahe hai? wo bhi is mausam mein?
the man kept mum..
the fear started to grow agen... maybe he wasnt a nice man...
uday- helo.. hum aapse baat...
TUJHE TERI KIYE KI SAZA MILNE WALI HAIN...
uday- wat? kya keh rahe hain aap?
TUNE JO KIYA THA AAJ TUJHE USKI SAZA MILEGI...
uday- humne kya kiya? o helo...!! heloo... he got out as the man was walking away...-- kis baat ki saza? kya kiya hain humne? humne kuch galat nhi kiya hain suna tumne? u fool..!! u psycho...!! jaa mar...!! he spitted on the road in disgust... he was a very short tempered person... and the raving of the crazy fellow incresed his temper.. he got inside the car,took out his bottle and drank some water...
Shit..!! aaj kiska chehraa dekha tha subah..!!-- uday thot and smiled as he remembered it was his fav dogs'...
he didnt know for how long he had been sleeping... when agen he heard a THUMP THUMP on his glass window.. this time louder and more frequent... then a voice- kholiye... plzzz kholo issseee...!! plzzz...oh god..!!
uday jumped up and pushed down the window agen... to his astonishment..it was girl... fully wet... standing and shivering outside his window...
plzzz -- the girl managed to say slowly-- kya main andar aa sakti hu?
uday immediately opened the door for her-- yaa sure.. get in...
she climbed inside...and closed the door...
uday- plzz push up the glass.. the rain is coming in.. the girl obeyed... she was constantly shivering...
uday- tum yahaan kaise? woh bhi is waqt?
the girl looked up at his face-- its only 9 in the evening...
uday- wat? sirf nau baje hain? aisa kaise ho sakta hain.. hum to... sare 7 baje nikle the wahaan see.. aur 9 baje.. aisi halat ho gayi seher ka?jaise ki raat ke 2 baje hain... god..!! he tried to smile...
the girl did nt reply...
uday- waise hamara nam udayveer singhania hain... u r...?
the girl- manyata... manyata sharma...
uday- to manyata tum kahan se aa rahi ho?
manyata- tuition se... ere saath ek chota sa hadsa ho gaya hain actually... i had an accident... she stretched her legs a lil for him to see...
uday,til then hadnt quite observed her ... now he did... she wore tyt shorts,which ended a lil distance above her knees... and a sports T... black in colour... also fitted tytly around her body...
a napkin was wrapped around her left knee.. which had become half red due to blood...
eeehh..,wat happened there?-uday twisted his face...
manyata,calmly-- kahan na.. ek chota sa accident hua tha... mujhe kuch samajh mein nhi aa raha tha kya karu... tab apki gadi dekhi...
uday- kitne der se paydaal chal rtahe ho is halat mein?
manyata- ek ghanta.. zyaada se zyaada..
uday-hm...
it felt nice having someone to talk to in this terrible night.. bt the girl seemed somewhat aloof.. she didnt even say thanks to him... she kept on shivering.. clutching herslef tightly.. as if she felt somewhat embarressed in frnt of him in this state...
uday tried to ake her fel comfortable, he offered her his jacket.. she denied..
uday- pehen lo.. ac on hain.. u will catch a fever...
manyata took it... and wrapped it around herself.. uday cud make out frm her face that she felt a lil relieved to have it...bt she cntinued to cover her bare legs as much as possible with her hands...
uday smiled to himself as he observed her carefully... he had been very very busy throughout his entire life... so busy that he dint even get time to hang out with frnds or make grlfrnds... handsome as he was in 28 now,he had always been the centre of attraction wherever he went.. girls used to die on him.. bt terribly focussed towards his career.. like a horse is, towards the direction in which it runs...he had nvr quite the time to go to dates or be close to a grl.. nvr... he knew that wen the time will come.. his family will secure a good girl for him to marry.. a trophy like possession and he will be happy... he sure will... bt suddenly at this moment.. he felt his inner urges... yes... he liked her at once... this was such an alien feeling and he was soo very surprised at this... bt he felt his weakness... wen he looked at her... he felt totally drawn towards her.. a girl.. whose name was the only thing he knew abt her apart frm that she was shy...and extreamely pretty... hr face depicted innocence and serenity... uday cntrolled himself... he knew that he had to spend the whole nyt with her... and he shud nt do anything for which he wud feel sorry afterwards...
