10:30pm
Abhigyan was driving the car. Anamika was sitting on the front seat and Piyali on the back-seat. Anamika was looking outside and he concentrated on driving. Piyali was just watching both of them.
Piyali: (in her mind)Hey Babaji! Dono ne kya maun vrat dharan kar rakkha hai! Pin-drop-silence mei baethe hai... Jab mai gari mei baethi hu tab ye haal hai, to jab mai utaar jaungi tab kya hoga? Inndonoka kuch nehi hosakta!
Piyali shouted. He stopped the car and both turned around to check her, when their heads collided.
Anamika: Aaoo!(rubbing head)
Abhigyan: Sorry...
Anamika: I...ts...its okay.
Piyali: (laughed silently, saying childishly)Ek bar takrane se bad luck hojata hai. Dusri bar takrane se bad luck cancel hojata hai!
Abhigyan: So??
Piyali: What 'so'! To dusri bar sar takrao.
Anamika: What rubbish, Piyali!
Piyali: Its not rubbish!
Piyali pushed their heads to collide again.
Anamika: Ouch!
Piyali: (behaving childish)Ah! Bad luck cancel hogaya!(giggles)
Anamika: Chup kar!
Abhigyan: Sorry, zyada zoor se lagi?
Anamika: (rubbing head)No, no, its fine. Pia, you're crazy!
Piyali laughed.
Anamika: Tu chillai kyu?
Piyali: Aise hi.
Abhigyan: Pia, aise bina kisi baat ke koi chillata hai kya!
Piyali: Mai aur kya karu! Tum dono ke wajah se gari ke andar sannata chhaya hua hai! Aur mai aise sannate mei baeth nehi sakti... Tumdonoko pata hai mai kitna bore horahi hu! Koi kuch baat hi nehi kar raha! Agar thori baat karloge to kaunsa Mount Everest girr ke bikhar jayega!
Anamika: Pia, tu sach mei pagal hai! Abhigyan tum gari chalao. Isska kuch nehi hosakta!
He started driving. Again the same silence.
Piyali: Agar tum donoko baat nehi karna to at least radio to on karo!
Anamika and Abhigyan both moved their hands forward to turn it on and their hands touched each-other's hand.

Raabta music

Abhigyan: ...sorry.
She felt embaraassed/shy. Both moved their away.
Piyali: Are! Maine kuch karne ke liye kaha hai! But no one is paying any heed!!
Both again moved their hands forward to turn it on and again their hands touched each-other's hand. They looked at each other.

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kaise hum jaane hume kya pata
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

She turned it on. Then both looked away.
RJ on radio: Hello, my dear friends! Your favorite RJ, RJ Yash is back! Chaliye parte hai aap hi ke messages ke through bheje gaye kuch 'sweet n small incidents' jo aapke aur aapke love ke saath hua hai... So let's start!
He changed the channel.
Piyali: Abhi, why did you change the channel!
Abhigyan: Tumhe logoke bakwass messages sunna hai?
Piyali: Abhi, tum gari chalao aur mujhe sunne do. Please!
Anamika: Abhigyan, sunne do ise. Aise ajib-o-garib chize hi pasand ati hai ise. Puri ki puri pagal hai ye! Let her listen.
He nodded and again turned on the previous channel.
Piyali: (surprised, in her mind)Abhigyan ne meri baat nehi mani lekin Ana ki baat maani!!! Ye sach hai ya sapna? Looks like mera plan kaam kar raha hai... Great!
Piyali messaged Ameesha: Our plan is working!
Ameesha called Piyali but she rejected the call.
Abhigyan: Kiska call hai?
Piyali: Ku...kuch nehi!
Piyali again messaged Ameesha: Call kyu kar rahi hai! Don't call me now! I will call you later.
Anamika: Piyali, teri wajah se hum ye bakwass messages sunn rahe hai. Tu sunn rahi hai ya mai band kardu?
Piyali: Mai sunn rahi hu.
RJ on radio: Next message hai...'Crazy Lover' ka. Crazy Lover likhte hai, 'Pehli bar mai usse ek friend ke ghar pe mila tha. Phir dhire-dhire dosti, dosti se pyaar...hota gaya. Ek incident jo bohot zyada memorable hai humare liye jo tha... Ek bar hum kuch friends party mei jaa rahe the. Mai aur vo samne baethe the. One friend asked to turn on the radio, humne radio on karne ke liye haath age baraya, phir haath takraye...ankhei mile... Aur kya...'. So sweet, na?!
Piyali, Anamika and Abhigyan remembered that the same thing happened here just a while ago. Remembering that, Anamika got shy and Piyali laughed silently.
After 15 minutes...
The area was very silent and surrounded by forests. One of tyre of the car has gone flat. He was changing it. Anamika was standing beside the car.
Piyali: Abhi, aur kitna time lagega?
Abhigyan: 5 minutes.
Piyali went to a side and called Ameesha to inform her what happened. Anamika was still standing.
Abhigyan: Anamika, tum tired hojaogi. Andar jake baetho.
Anamika: No, no, its fine.
He continued fixing the punctured tyre. He got hurt in his hand and starting bleeding. Piyali couldn't see this because she was talking over phone but Anamika saw this and got worried.
Anamika: Tumhe to choot lagi hai!
Abhigyan: Zaara si choot hai, leave it. Thik hojayega.
He was again continuing the work but Anamika held his hand and stopped him.
Anamika: (scolding him)'Zara is choot'! Ye tumhe zara is choot lagti hai! Dekho kitni gehri hai ye. Aur kitna khoon bhi behh raha hai... Bina medicine lagay tum phirse tyre badalne chale the!
She was so busy in scolding that she forgot that she's holding his hand.
Abhigyan: Thori der baad khoon behna band hojayega. Leave it.
Anamika: (again scolding)Khoon behna band hojayega lekin zakham thik to nehi hoga na! Agar iss pe medicine nehi lagaya gaya to septic hosakta hai... Gari mei first-aid box hai?
Abhigyan: Haan, lekin usski zarurat nehi hai...
Anamika: Kya maine tumse pucha ki isski zarurat hai ya nehi? Nehi na! To tum chup-chap khare raho! Mai medicine leke ati hu.
She went to search for an ointment.
Piyali, till now who was busy talking, turned and saw them.
Anamika brought a medicine from the car, again held his hand and applied ointment on the wound.
Abhigyan: (in pain)Ah...
Anamika: Dekha kitna dard horaha hai! Agar iss pe ointment nehi lagati to aur bhi zyada dard hota...
As she kept applying ointment and he kept staring at her.

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta
Kaise hum jaane hume kya pata
Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Piyali was watching them from a distance.
Ameesha: (from phone)Hello? Pia? Hello! Piyali!!!
Piyali: (staring at them and talking to Ameesha)Haan...
Ameesha: Kya hua?
Piyali: Hua nehi, horaha hai...
Ameesha: Kya horaha hai?
Piyali: Jo hum chahte the...
Ameesha: Tu kya bol rahi hai? Mujhe kuch samajh mei nehi araha!
Piyali: I will call you later. Bye!
Call disconnected.
Piyali smiled looking at them.
After 10 minutes...
They reached Yashvardhan Mansion.
Piyali: Okay, guys. Bye!
Anamika: Bye.
Piyali: Aur Abhi, jaise mujhe ghar pohchaya hai waise hi Ana ko bhi ghar pohcha dena.
Abhigyan: Hmmm.
Piyali: Good night, guys!
Piyali went inside Yashvardhan Mansion.
And they drove away.
On the way...
Outside cool breeze was flowing.
Anamika: Bahar weather kitna achcha hai na?
[No response from Abhigyan]
Anamika: If you don't mind, can i open the window?
[Again no response]
Anamika: (in her mind)Suna nehi ya jawab nehi dena chahta... Kitna ajib insaan hai...
Abhigyan: (concentrating on driving and without looking at her)You're right.
Anamika: (not understanding)Kya?
Abhigyan: Tumne sahi kaha.
Anamika: Maine kya kaha?
Abhigyan: Yehi ki...
Anamika: Ki?
Abhigyan: Ki mai bohot ajib insaan hu.
Anamika: (surprised)Tu...tumne...kaise...
Abhigyan: Bas sunn lia...
Anamika: (in her mind)Sach mei kitna ajib hai!
He himself opened the window beside her.
Abhigyan: You can enjoy the weather.
Anamika: Thanks...
She was enjoying the weather of outside and smiling. He looked at her and stared at and smiled.

Raabta music

He again concentrated on driving. Then she looked at him.
Anamika: (in her mind)Kinta ajib insaan hai... Kabhi kuch to kabhi kuch! Ise samajhne ke liye to hazaar saal bhi cum par jayega...
