PART 10
**Shimla (the same day as Abhi's wedding to Muskaan)**
It was a very foggy morning in a small village in Shimla, a young lady, age 24, sat on a small swing deep in thought…
Flashback
In the Same area 10 years ago
Little Boy: NIKKITA!!!
Nikkita: Hey Abhi!! You took so long to come out today…where is Anji? – smiling at the sight of her best friend
Abhi: I don't know…here these are for you - gives her flowers
Nikkita: Thank you! - sweet smile - Here comes Anji…come on lets play
Abhi: OK! Hi Anji…
Anji: Hey everyone!!
Nikki: Hey come on let's play doctors our usual game!
Abhi: Yeh come on Nikki…
End of Flashback
Niki: - to herself– Who would've thought this day would come so soon…I'm going to be a doctor without my friends…and this was our dream together…
Sonia: Nikkita are you still sitting here? Are you not getting ready? Your train leaves in an hour…
Nikki: Yeh I am going – standing up
Sonia: Are you crying? – stops her from walking away
Nikki: No… - wiping her eyes – I'll just go and get my things.
*An Hour Later*
Nikki: Bye Mamma - starts crying
Sonia: Bye Beti when you reach phone ok - they hug each other and Nikita gets onto the train
**In the Same area a day after Nikki Leaves**
Puneet: Hey you get out of the way! - pushes a man out of the way from getting run over
The guy turns around and Puneet recognise him, his features were the same as they were sixteen years ago…the only thing different was he had grown in height but other than that he still had his naughty grin and sparkling eyes…
Puneet: Abhimanu Modhi?
Abhi: Yes! - takes a while to recognise his best friend's uncle – Uncle?
Puneet: Oh my gosh! Is that you? Look at you! You've gone so big and where have you come from? And where are your parents?
Abhi: Wow calm down uncle… - laughs
Puneet: Yeh sorry… - calms down – You must come home… - takes him to his house
Abhi: Sure uncle…so where is Anji she must be all grown up now?
Puneet: Yeah she's very big now…but I haven't seen her for a long time…
Abhi: Huh? What do you mean? Where is she? – a little concerned
Puneet: A year after you left…Anji's dad came and…and took her with him…I saw her five years ago…when I went to visit them in Mumbai but…since then…
Abhi: Oh… - didn't know what else to say - Nikki is still here right?
Puneet: Umm…no… - looks up at him to see his face fall- she's gone as well…she went to complete her studies at the Sanjeevani hospital where she got the chance to do her internship...
Abhi: oh…ok - thinking
Puneet: So tell me…how are your parents? How come you've come back here?
Abhi: It's a long story…
Flashback
Reshab: Abhimanu… - knocks on his son's room door and walks in
Abhi: Yes dad? – looks up from a book
Hid dad sits down next to him and gives him an envelope.
Abhi: What's this dad? – opening the envelope
Reshab: We've found a bride for you
Abhi: Dad I do not want to get married I want to complete my internship first – quietly - and I want to get married to Nikki not any random girl
Reshab: Well this time you have to because I made a promise with her dad
Abhi: But dad…
Reshab: I don't want to hear no for an answer, she's a very lovely girl and I want you to make her my daughter-in-law…that's final
He walks out of the room and Abhi fall onto his bed letting out a loud groan.
*Morning of the wedding day*
Abhi: I cannot get married not now I have to find Nikki and tell her I love her I have to get out of here.
Nakul: No problem…our plan will work…you just need to write that letter…I'll get it to her…
*End of Flashback*
Abhi: Yeah…so I had to leave from there yesterday and came straight here…I wanted to be with Niki…
Puneet: You should have told your parents this is not right…
Abhi: I know…but they wouldn't listen…you know what they're like…you know why they left this place and you still think that they would have a heart to let me married Nikki I did not have a choice.
Puneet: Ok so…what are you going to do now?
Abhi: I'm going to apply for the internship at the same place as Nikki and I will tell her the truth…
Puneet: Ok but promise me you'll let me know how it all goes…
Abhi: Yeah sure Uncle… - thinking for some time – umm…when do you think is the next train to Mumbai?
Puneet: There are always two trains a day…one in the morning and one in the evening…I think Niki was saying internship starts this week…so you might just be able to make it just in time to talk to the Head Doctor and get a place if you take this evening train…
Abhi: Yeah…that sounds good
Puneet: Ok then…I'll book your tickets…
Abhi: There's no need Uncle…I'll…
Puneet: I don't want to hear anything…I'm going to book your tickets… - he gets up and calls up the station
Abhi smiles to himself and walks out of the house into the little garden infront. He walked towards the little swing in the middle of the garden and sat down. He began to let his memories rush over him as he looked at the swing and around him.
Flashback
Abhi: Nurse Nikki we will need more tissue
Nikki: yes doctor - gives him tissue
Abhi: Oh no were losing her quickly
He pretends to give her an electric shock and Anji burst in to giggles
Anji: Oww that tickles
Abhi: Oh Anji you spoiled it
Anji: Sorry… but that was funny
Nikki: Trying not to laugh because Abhi was angry
Abhi: Ok are you finished laughing? Let's start again
Anji: Wait Abhi remember you brought that new toy from that shop? Go and get it and we can use that to play…
Abhi: face lit up - oh yeh! I'll just go and get it wait!
He rushes into the house and up to his room. He grabs the toy from the shelf and rushes back downstairs, as he stepped down on the last step he heard loud voices coming from the living room. He moved a little closer to the door and stares through the crack between the door and the wall at his parents.
Reshab: We have to go from here…
Lela: No…we can't just leave like this…I grew up here, my family is here, my friends, Abhi's school, his friends…how can we juts leave everything and go…no I can't leave…
Reshab: Don't you understand?...It's good for the business we have to move I am moving and I am taking Abhimanu with me!
Abhi walks into the room and stares at his dad. After a long explanation from his dad his mum finally agreed and tried to make Abhi understand.
Lela: - crying - We will have to leave this place with your dad…you know that don't you we have to do as he says…We are going Australia…
Abhi shakes his head and runs out of the house to his friends.
Nikki: What's wrong Abhi?
Abhi: he looked at her - I have to leave right now…I'm going to leave this place forever…my dad, mum and I have to go Australia…dad got a new job there…and we are leaving now
Anji and Nikki couldn't say anything they looked at each other and then at him.
Reshab: come on Abhi
Abhi hugged Nikki and Anji and ran to his dad's car, he didn't really want to say bye to his best friends, the quicker the better.
Nikki ran after him.
Nikki: ABHI... ABHI...
The whole family got into the car and drove off. Nikki running behind the car trying to stop it at the same time she could see Abhi looking at her, there was nothing he could do but silently promised himself that he would come back to her…his best friends.
Flashback End
Abhi: - to himself – I'm coming Nikki to finish what we started I'll find you and you will be mine...
