Part 1
The Escape
Deven tried to balance himself holding his bleeding head. His eyes filled with rage and anger. He mentally promised himself.
"Itni aasani se na jaane dunga thaare ko Chhori... Mhaare andar ke jaanwar ko jaga dala se tanne... Aur tu jaane na ghayal sher toh aur bhi khaufnak hove..."
He took out his hanky and tied it around the back of his head on the wound. He fished out his cell and called Chandu and told him the entire story as he couldn't have found Geet all alone.
Geet ran in the woods without once fearing and thinking about the wild animals there. Right now it felt easy for her to escape the wild animals then the devil humans. While running in the dark she stumbled on a stone and fell on thorny bushes, getting bruises on her elbow and her knee. She got up in a hasty manner. Unfortunately, her dupatta got stuck. She couldn't leave it over there or else the devil could easily track her. She pulled her dupatta, tearing it into pieces which she couldn't notice in the dark. She ran until her legs could help her. She crossed a cold stream in the woods. Since the current was strong enough, 1 of her footwear just came out of her feet. She had no time to wait and search for it. But she also couldn't move bare-foot in this creepy forest. She tried looking for it until she heard the devil's sound.
"Wahaan dekho... Dupatta mila se... (Crumbling the dupatta in his hand) Chhori bhi mil hi javegi... Idhar aas paas hovegi..."
Geet cought hold of her torn dupatta on her mouth to block the sound of her ragged breath. She couldn't wait any longer now. Without looking behind, worrying about her wounds and her bare-foot, she ran like a zombie. After running about 2 miles, she was completely exhausted + her bruises had started bleeding and throbbing excessively now. She slowed her pace reaching a huge banyan tree to take in few breaths. She was panting catching hold of her waist and her sweating had completely drenched her. She scanned the area here and there to see some flickering and lights moving parallel to the forest. She had to move there to get some help.

At the same time on the Haryana-Delhi highway a couple in car having some romantic talks or rather say fight...
"Yeh kya baat hui, hum toh kal nikalnewale they na?? Phir ab achanak plan kaise badal gaya..." (Pouting cutely)
"Jaan! Tum jaanthi hon na... Main tumhe aisi haalat mein wahaan bilkul bhi rukne nahi deta... Toh stop arguing with me now..." (Casually saying and lookng straight at the road)
"Kya matlab aisi haalat?? (Angrily) For your kind information Dr.Armaan Mallik aap ko pata hona chahiye kii aisi haalat mein travelling bhi thik nahi hain... "(Tauntingly)
"Jaan.. Pata hai.. Bas kuch ghanto ki baat hai, ek baar hum aur Champ ghar pahonch jayenge phir tum mujhe joh chahein sunana..." (Getting irritated)
(Opening mouth wide) "Kya kaha tumne 'Champ'???
Tumne socha bhi kaise kii champ hoga?? (Pointing out her finger)
Maana kii tum Doctor hon... Par mujhe lagta hai meri Pari hi hogi..." (Caressing her huge bump and shooting daggers at Armaan)
"Ohh God... Ridz tumhare yeh hormones mujhe chain se jeene nahin denge.. (Sighing irritatingly) Behes karna ho toh koi tumse sikhe... (Giving up) Par Basket iss baat ki puri gurantee deta hoon kii Champ hi hoga" (And twitched her nose)
Riddhima holding her stomach with 1 hand disagreeing his remark snapped his hand. Armaan grabbed her arm and slowly pulled her towards himself, locking his gaze with hers and spoke huskily..
"Tumhe bhi pata hai Jaan... K bachche ka sex father pe depended hai"
Riddhima's cheeks grew red blushing at his straight comment and turned towards the front to escape his naughty gaze only to see a girl coming in front of their car. She yelled out in fear holding her bump cocooning it in her arms..
"Armaaan... Armaan... Aage dekho... Apply the brakes..."
Armaan who was lost in his wife's red cheeks, shockingly looked ahead to see a girl just mere inches away from their car. She had her hands blocking her face bcz of the effect of headlights. Armaan abruptly applied the brakes taking care, not to cause any harm to both Ridz his Jaan and the girl. He turned towards Riddhima to check whether she was fine.
"Tum thik ho na Jaan... (Cupping her face) aur Champ... (Touching her bump) Are you both fine??? (His eyes turning misty)"
(Holding his shoulders) "We are fine Armaan... Dekho.. Pehle Humein uss ladki ko dekhna chahiye... Chalo..."
(Wiping his eyes) "Main dekhta hoon... Tum bahar mat aana..."
Armaan got down of the car and moved swiftly towards a lifeless Geet. He saw her bruised body with torn clothes. Her feet had wounds with stones pricking her heels. He went forward and leaned on her and pulled her shoulders towards himself. The sight made him numb actually. Her innocent, weak yet glowing face reminded him of... "Piya... Lekin aise kaise...?? Wohi maasumiyat, wohi chulbulapan, wohi saadgi'"
Riddhima started getting restless inside. She just couldn't understand why Armaan was taking time. She got out of the car taking care not to hurt their baby. She went to Armaan looked and glanced at the girl and at the same time touched him. Armaan got startled with her touch and just spoke in a trance.
"Ridz dekho... Piya...!!!" (Pointing at Geet)
Riddhima understood his dazed state and taking control of the situation spoke.
"Armaan... Humein isse immediate medical attention dena hai... Uss ke ghav dekho kitne gehre hai... Bleeding stop karni padegi... We can't wait a min here... Come on.. Hurry up... Utao isse..."
Armaan came back from his reverie and took Geet in his arms and rested her on the back sit. Riddhima too sat in the car. Being Doctors the patient was their 1st priority. Armaan had started getting a strong attachment to this girl. He couldn't waste time. Within an hours time they reached Delhi and in another 10mins Sanjeevani. Geet was taken to the casualty ward. Armaan explained all the details to his colleague and on duty Dr.Sapna Patel. Armaan and Riddhima sat outside thinking of Geet's state, what could have happened with her? What would have happened if the brakes weren't applied on time? + her condition unwantedly brought all the bitter memories back again. After few mins Dr.Sapna came out of the casualty and saw a worried Armaan and Riddhima sitting together. She moved towards them and said
"Maine uss ke ghav par stitches kar diye hai... Filhaal woh sedatives ke wajah se behosh hai.. Kuch waqt mein hosh aane ke baad kuch keh sakthe hai...
(Patting Armaan's shoulder) Don't worry sab thik ho jayega... "
Taking some relief Armaan just heard her words and moved towards the window of the casualty ward. Riddhima came and kept a supporting hand on his shoulder.
"Tumhe pata hai Ridz, aaj 3 saalon mein pehli baar mujhe Piya ki jhalak phir se dikhayi di.. Aisa nahi ke main ussey bhul gaya par aaj aisa laga ke maine ussey khokar bhi phirse paa liya hai..."
Riddhima started getting emotional with his talks.
"Iss ladki ki maasumiyat, iski saadgi, ne mujhe Piya ke paas hone ka phirse ehsaas dila diya hai... Aaj agar issey kuch bhi ho jata toh main apne aap ko kabhi nahi maaf kar pata..."
Armaan started crying. Never in his life he felt so weak and lonely. Piya was the only 1 left in his family after his parents died in a plane crash. His sweet adorable sister... His Gudiya' never said no to her for anything. But fate had something else in store. The 26/11 Mumbai terror attack snatched Piya from him when she had gone for some college training camp there. It was only Piya the cupid to bring Armaan-Ridz closer. Riddima couldn't see his weak state again. She gave him a tight hug assuring him he is not alone. She will be always there beside him. (Wiping his tears and cupping his face) "Armaan... Tumhe pata hai na.. Piya tumhare chehre pe udaasi dekhkar kitna bura mehsoos karegi... Kya tumhe accha lagega usska woh murjaaya hua chehra?? Accha lagega yeh jaankar kii Gudiya ki Bhabhi usske Bhai ko kabhi khush nahi rakh paayi..??" (Turning her head and wiping a lone tear from her eyes)
(Shook his head) "Sshhh aisa nahi hai... Jaan! Piya ke baad ek tum hi toh hon jis ke liye main zinda hoon..." (Wiping her tears and caressing her cheek)
"Toh cheer up... Come on (Wiping her tears) Tumhe laga na iss ladki mein Piya ki chhavi hai??"
Armaan just nodded his head looking at Geet from the window.
"Mujhe bhi.." (Smiling weakly at him)
-------
Next day, while Armaan was in his cabin he was informed that Geet got her consciousness back. He and Riddhima came outside the ward where Geet was shifted to see a worried Dr.Sapna. She told them that Geet's medical reports had arrived which showed that she was sexually molested. Geet after coming to senses also shoved away a ward boy in a wild manner when he had accidently touched her while trasferring her on the bed. Armaan started recollecting what Piya had endured in Mumbai. History was repeating itself in the same way. Riddhima caught hold of Armaan's arm and assured him through her eyes that everything will be fine. Armaan decided he would take up Geet's case, he was a Neurosurgeon. He felt the need to himself help Geet in getting her out of fears from men and forgetting her past.
