-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, 26 Feb 2013 Around 10 PM.
In ETF discussion room after a case is over, everyone is checking their paperwork and plans to leave after it.
Riya's phone rings. She picks up her phone and goes out of discussion room
Riya: Hi Di... bolo...
Anwesha : hi Chinki... kaisi ho?
Riya: Mai theek hoon di... bas thoda kaam chal raha hai... tum batao... koi nayi khabar...?

Riya returns to discussion room in a happy mood.
Shree: kya baat hai Ri... bahut khush lag rahi ho... koi good news ho to humein bhi sunao... hum bhi khush ho jayege...
Riya (happy and chirpy): Haan Shree... good news to hai... meri didi Mumbai aa rahi hain... 3 mahine ke liye... she is a doctor...

(turns a little sad)...aur family ke naam par bas hum dono hi hain... mom-dad to rahey nahi
Rathod (to distract her from sadness): That's good Riya... (smiles)... ye lo tumhari file... (gives her a file)... maine review kar li hai aur sign bhi kar di hai... records mein rakh do...Chalo team... its late now... ghar jao sab... Shree, Riya ko safely ghar drop kar do... ok?
Shree: yes sir...
Riya looks at Arjun. He is engrossed in his file. She thinks of asking him if he is staying back but then doesn't want to disturb him.
Everybody leaves except Arjun.
In Shree's car.
Riya is thinking about Arjun.
Shree(emotional): Kya hua Ri... itni chup kyun hai?
Riya: kuch nahi Shree... bas aise hi... Arjun sir ke baarey mein soch rahi thi...
Shree: Meri Maa... kya unki daant khaye bina tera khana hazam nahi hota? ya raat ko tujhe neend nahi aati? jab dekho tab unhi ke bare mein sochti hai...
Riya glares at him.
Shree: Riya...Unhone kaha tha na ki unhe nahi pasand ki koi unki personal life mein taank jhaank karey... aur ye galat bhi to nahi hai... kya humein pasand ayega ki koi humari life mein is tarah interfere karey? nahi na... isliye bhool jao... lo tumhara ghar aa gaya... bye ...good night... take care (smiles)
Riya(smiles): Good night Shree... tum bhi sambhal ke jana... bye...

Around same time, Rathod also reaches home. His cellphone beeps. He checks the SMS from his friend.
"School Alumni meet ke pics email kar diye hain"
He replies:
"OK"
A month back Sameer Rathod had gone to Delhi to attend his school alumni meet and met his school friends. They had a gala time and clicked some pics. His friend had emailed them to him.
He checks his emails and while surfing through the pics, he spots a girl he had seen in the party there and was smitten by her. Though he doesnt remember her from school but somehow she had attracted him.
Flashback begins*
DPS Alumni meet.
ACP Sameer Rathod enters the venue and searches for his friends. He meets a few of them and they were chit chatting about general life.
After a few minutes he saw her. Draped in a red Saree, with minimal make-up and jewellery. She was looking beautiful. It was for the first time he had noticed a girl.
He noticed that she was unusually quiet with some pain hidden in her eyes. Though she was smiling but there was something that stopped her from actively participating in the the chit chat that her friends were involved in. She was just listening to them.
Suddenly he is distracted by an announcement about a song performance by one of the old school student.
The guy entered with a guitar and pulled a chair for himself and his performance started.
Special appearance
Badi Udaas Hai Zindagi, Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Ek Talash Hai Zindagi, Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Aayega Mujhpe Bhi Pyaar Kisi Ko, Muhjko To Hai Yeh Aitbaar
Hoga Mera Bhi Intezaar Kisi Ko, Sach Keh Raha Hoon Mere Yaar
Aise Na Pagal Machal, Dil Deewane Sambhal
Aise Na Pagal Machal, Dil Deewane Sambhal
Bad-hawaas Hai Zindagi, Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Ek Talash Hai Zindagi, Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Yaadon Mein Koi Din Raat Sataye,Tanha Kate Na Yeh Safar
Kitna Muhje Woh Bechain Banaye,Usko Nahin Hai Khabar
Bas Mera Naa Chale,Usko Laga Lu Gale
Bas Mera Naa Chale,Usko Laga Lu Gale
Ek Pyaas Hai Zindagi,Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Ek Talash Hai Zindagi,Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Badi Udaas Hai Zindagi,Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Ek Talash Hai Zindagi,Koi To Saathi Chaahiye
Everyone claps after the performance is over.
The song touched Sameer's heart and he smiles to himself. Destiny had snatched away two of his best friends from him and he was very lonely. He needed a partner with whom he can be himself and share joys and sorrows
He spots the girl again and hears someone calling her addressing as "Annu". She leaves and he couldn't spot her again. He is disappointed.
Later he forgets about her after coming back to Mumbai and his work.
Flashback ends*
After watching the pictures he is again reminded of her but he has no idea where to search for her. So he decides to rest the matter and forget about it.
He finishes his dinner watches news and sleeps.

A little start... tell me how was it?😊
Please excuse the spelling mistakes.
I have tried to add most of the members who have commented to my Buddy list and PM list. If I have missed someone who wants a PM on updates, please send me a buddy request.😊
Pre-cap: Anwesha's might have to cancel her plan which upsets Riya, Riya - Sameer's candid conversation and a flashback about Sameer - Arjun friendship.
