AN ABANDONED PLACE
Samridh reached the place on time given by saurav but was dumbfounded realising it was an abandoned work site.
Sam - ye saurav ne mjhe esi jagah kyu bulaya h... vo esi darawni jagah kya karne wala h vo...
He came out of his car and stopped in side of the deserted road waiting for saurav to come. He was leaning against his car with his eyes closed when he sensed people around him. He opened his eyes and gasped in surprise seeing a bunch of angry looking people surrounding him. He looked at saurav with questioning eyes while he shrugged nonchalantly while others advanced towards him with predatory looks.
Umesh - hmmm... gang members utha lo ise... yehi h hmara suspect...
Everyone hummed in response and kabir saurav and sukku picked sam through his arm and took him inside the work site. They made him sit on a chair and started circling him with thoughtful faces. Samridh gulped hard as sukku bend on him with his hands resting on the arms of chair.
Sukku - to ye h vo jiski vajah se hmari kirti ek dum murjha gyi h...
Everyone (except sam) - correct...
Kabir - (in same stance as sukku) to yhi h vo jisne hmari kirti ko rulaya...
Everyone - (yet again) correct...
Saurav - (mimicking both the morons) to yehi h vo jiski wajah se usne us gadhe se shadi k lie ha kar di thi...
Everyone - (in unison) correct...
Nisha - (preparing a punch to throw at sam) ur yehi h vo jisse kirti pyaar karti h...
Everyone - correct..
Jwalu - par yehi h vo jiski wajah se vo itna roti h ur bilkul bhi bak bak nhi karti...
Dolly - to ab iski saja kya honi chahie...
Everybody hummed again at dolly question while samridh was looking at them with guilt and fear.
Sam - mai kuch bolu...
Alisha - chhoda hi kya h tumne kuch bolne k lie...
Aman - oe hoe... jara uski bhi sun lo...
Sam thanked aman and then looked at everyone with hopeful eyes. Nisha then communicated with others through eyes and then nodded at samridh signalling him to continue talking.
Sam - see m really really sorry meri wajah se kirti itni sad h ur itni pareshan bhi h par mai bus use thoda jalana chahta tha... i just wanted her to taste her own medicine but i didnt knew when it get out of hand... that ada purposefully did some horrendous things and kirti never listened to me... i knew her feelings for me and i do reciprocate it but before i could tell her anything she... she just left and now she isnt even ready to give me a glance... forget to talk to me in a civil manner...just help me pls... m too miserable without her...
When he finally stopped he looked up to see all of them watching with a curious expression.
Sam - what???
Nisha - what's adaa to u?
Sam - nothing... she was just there to make kirti jealous...
Sukku - do u think kirti will believe u or for that matter we??
Sam - i can try...
Kabir - u love her?
Sam - u still have that doubt... of course i love her... its been too long...
Umesh - so guys what say... bande ko chance dena chahie ki nhi...
Saurav - de dete h yaar... kam se kam hme hmari ms. Blah to waapas mil jaegi...
Alisha - ha nhi to pta chala fir se kisi aire gaire ladke se shadi k lie ha karde...
Sukku - ur agar kabhi meri behen dubara dukhi hui ya roi... to agli baar interrogation nhi hogi seedha punishment milegi samjhe...
Sam grinned wide and bobbed his head up and down nodding over enthusiastically.
Dolly - so guys lets make a plans... mission samridh kirti love stories...
Jwalu - plans nhi plan ur stories nhi story dolly di...
Dolly - tu samjh gyi na bus thik h...
Everybody rolled their eyes at her and started planning.
SCENE - 2
SAME PLACE
Sam - ye plan kaam to karega na...
Kabir - ha bhai karega... are 100 percent guarantee h...
Sam - ulta pad gya to...
Sukku - pyaar karta h na to ghabra kyu raha h... jyada se jyada kya hoga maar pad jaegi bus...
Sam - kyaaa...
Saurav - oo melodrama ab itna risk to lena hi padega na...
dolly - are u ready for proposals??
Sam - (nervous) yeah, I am
Alisha - to wait kis liye kar rahe ho, let jaao
Sam - yahaan? (pointing towards the barren ground)
Sukku - are tumhaara accident hua hai yaar
Sam - mera?
he asks and before he could react all the cousins pushed him down to the ground.
Aman - aur khoon?
Umesh - car me restaurant ka samaan rakha hai, usme se tomato ketchup leke aao
Sam - are you sure I am going to bath in tomato ketchup?
Jwalu - are tomatoes skin ke liye ache hain, don't worry...
Kabir came grinning wide with ketchup bottles in his hands, he looked at sam who was lying on the ground and then in one swift motion dumped all the ketchup on him. Everyone made some disgusting sounds as sam looked at himself horrified.
Nisha - kabir... itna khoon???
Kabir - are accident car se hua h... cycle se nhi...
Nisha made an oh face...
Saurav - are ab koi ms. Blah ko phone to karo...
Umesh - oh ha... ruko mai karta hu...
Aman - are laddu tum rehne do... plan ka second phase to sukku ko karna h na to vhi call karega...
Sukku - (making puppy face) kya bhabhi... aap bhi mjhe hi phasa rhe ho... lagta h aaj is samridh k sath sath mjhe bhi kirti ki maar khani hi padegi...
Everybody glared at him so he silently took his phone out and dialled kirti no. As the bell started ringing another side, he looked at others nervous.
Alisha - sukku ghabra kyu rhe ho.. tum to actor ho na to phir chalo shuru ho jao...
She grinned looking at him while he smiled too. Just then kirti picked up her phone and sukku immediately transferred in his character.
Kirti - (on phone) ha sukku bol kya hua?
Sukku - (nervous) k.. kirti... thodi si gadbad ho gyi yaar...
Kirti - kya kia tune...
Sukku - vo... vo na rashi ka call aaya tha to usne mjhe btaya ki tune job kyu chhodi...
Kirti - (attentive) to?? Tune kya kia...
Sukku - to vo teri prblm ko bulaya tha maine yha, sam ko, bus baat karne k lie... par...
Kirti - (anxious) par??
Sukku - par uska accident ho gya...
Kirti - whatt???
Sukku - tu jaldi se aaja.. mjhe nhi lagta ye ab bachega... mai tjhe address msg karta hu bye...
N with that he hastily cut the call and looked at others who were giving him a "what was that look.
Sukku - kyaa...
Saurav - kuch nhi...
Sukku then just shrugged and they started waiting for kirti. After 15 min. they saw a cab coming towards them with full speed.
Kabir -lagta h sali sahiba aa gyi... chalo sab chhup jao... sam dhang se acting karna bhai tera future aaj k drama p depend karta h... ur sukku no blunder samjha...
Sukku and samridh nodded while others scurried away hiding in nearby ruins. Kirti was hell worried thinking what she would be witnessing now. She cant loss her only love like this despite all the mishaps between them, she love him unconditionally. When finally kirti reached to the site, she found sukku standing by the scooter and samridh lying on the ground covered in blood. Her eyes bulged out and tears started pooling as a sharp stabbing pain arises in her chest. She ran to where samridh was lying and checked his breathing which was seized. Tears started pouring down as a thought of losing him and never being able to see him again flashed in her mind.
Kirti - (in sobbed whisper) sukku... ye sab???
Sukku - (nervous seeing her crying like this) vo mai... matlab mere.. nhi nisha ha nisha k scooter se iska accident ho gya...
Kirti - (looking at him with anger) scooter apne aap nhi chalti sukku... tune kia ye?
She pointed a finger at sam body and turned to look at sukku. Samridh opened his eye to take a look at her and then took some deep breaths before she turned to him again.
Sukku - ha vo nhi... nhi maine nhi... ye nisha k scooter ne... ye bhi nisha k jaisi hi gusse wali h to ise dekhke use gussa aa gya ur scooter ne ise thok dia.. Ha yehi hua tha...
Everyone looked at each other where they were hiding and snickered at sukku's horrible lying.
Kabir - nisha tera bhai kaunse angle se actor h... isse achhi acting to mai kar lu...
Saurav - seriously yaar... scooter ne thok dia... koi ise ye btao us jara si scooter se kisi ko itni nhi lagti ki vo marne ki haalat m aa jae... ur scooter apne aap kaise kisi ko maar sakti h...
Nisha glared at both of them and whacked their heads. They mewld in pain but then concentrated on the happenings in front of them.
Kirti stood up and slapped sukku across the face seething in anger and pain.
Kirti - (shaking him) are u mad???? Ye kya kia tune... agar use kuch ho gya to... ur ur ambulance... ambulance kha h..
Sukku started panicking but still managed.
Sukku - vo.. Vo aa rhi hogi rasta bhool gye honge... mai mai lke aata hu tu yha baith...
With this he ran away leaving behind a remorseful kirti and a smirking samridh. Kirti turned towards samridh and knelt down beside him. Seeing him like this lying lifeless in front of her broke her down completely. The tears of hurt and betrayal turned into pain, devastation and desperation as she bend down on him.
Kirti - sam... sam wake up... i m sorry... i m sorry... just wake up.. See i will talk to u... u wanted to talk to me hai na... see m here.. So talk to me pls... just talk to me...
She put her forehead on his and cried harder when an arm snaked itself around her.
Samridh - promise????
Kirti jerked up but couldnt get out of his hold. She looked at him with wide eyes which soon narrowed with anger burning in them.
Kirti - tum... tum thik ho to fir ye sab... oh god... u pranked me.. U.. u impeccable man... i hate u... UR TUM SAB BAHAR AAO ABHI... (she screamed when the understanding of all of it dawned upon her)
Everyone came out and stood in front of her with head hanging low. She gave all of them a deadly glare.
Kirti - unbelievable... tum log mere cousins ho ki iske... idiots...
She gave him a stink eye pushing him down, standing up and turned to strode away.
Samridh - (sitting up) but I LOVE U KIRTI... i luv u so damn much...
These 4 words made her stop abruptly and she turned to him. A gasp escaped her lips when she found him kneeling in front of her. Others stood behind them making a semi-circle to stop kirti from running again.
Samridh - (taking her hands in his) u remember i asked u for a dance in our farewell at school... do u know why? I asked u because i liked u from the day i laid my eyes on u on the first day of mine and that day after struggling with my broken confidence, i asked u for that dance and when u rejected me, everyone mocked me including my inner self... i was too shattered and then picking up that pieces i build myself again to this who i m now. The day i saw u again those feelings came back, which i so skillfully buried down in my heart, with double force. But this time i fought against them until they became so big that i couldnt ignore them anymore. Then u came to me, apologised and told me about your feelings and that was enough for me to win over that lost battle. I decided to bring ada and make u feel devastated and shattered just like how i felt that day but in this revenge i forgot about my feelings for u, ur feelings for me and hurt u so bad... but m sorry kirti, m so sorry... i never meant to hurt u like this i was a fool, a stupid, idiot, duffer who couldn't see that it doesnt matter when we realise, only matter is that we DO realize... and i know i love u so much and m sorry that i...
He looked down gulping the lump of regret and guilt when a pair of soft hand cupped his face. Kirti made him look up with tears shining in her eyes. She bend down and connect his forehead with her's.
Kirti - I love u too sam... i love u too...
Samridh broke into widest grin. He scooped her up in his arms and twirled her around while she laughed. He then placed her on the ground and hugged her tight.
kirti - m sorry sam... for watever i did in the past... pls forgive me?
Sam - i forgave u long back... u forgive me?
Kirti - i did...
Sam beamed at her and pecked her forehead out of love. Just then they heard few throat clearings and that's when they remembered that they aren't alone. They turned still in each other's embrace when the gang raised their eyebrows at them. Kirti scowled while samridh saluted. All of them bursted out laughing when a red faced sukku threw daggers at sam and kirti.
Sukku - ha ha haso haso... maar to maine khai h na...
Dolly - chup kar sukku... ab mission accomplish karne k lie sacrifices to karne padte h na... waise bhi all well when ends well...
Everybody agreed and started of to home leaving a sulking sukku behind. He saw dolly and saurav who were walking hand in hand, aman and umesh where aman was busy in admiring her laddu, kabir and nisha who as usual were bickering but one can see the love brimming in their eyes while kirti and samridh were still very much in each other's embrace. He took a deep sigh and closed his eyes.
Sukku - everyone has someone special... where is mine someone special god... i need her...
He opened his eyes and saw alisha walking towards him with a smile playing her lips and just like always he found himself drowning in her again.
Alisha - (snapping her fingers in front of him) kya hua sukku?
Sukku - kuch nhi... bus yunhi...
Alisha - tum thik ho na... jor se to nhi lga na tmhe...
She touched his cheek softly and grazed it with her thumb. She felt a surge of electricity passing through while numerous butterflies erupted inside her. Sukku involuntarily leaned into her touch while they stared deep into each other's eyes. Just then jwalu shouted sukku's name and their spell broke leaving them flustered.
Alisha - i..i m sorry vo... (she backed away and turned blushing beetroot red)
Sukku - ah... its... fine... lets go... (he scratched the back of his neck a little embarrassed)
They walked with holding hands which now has became their habit and suddenly sukku realised something, something he should have realised long back. He took a look at alisha who had a secret smile playing on her lips like she too just had her realisation.
SCENE -3
KNH
Nisha and kabir entered their home bickering about the whole fiasco they just made and were busy in pulling each other's leg.
Kabir - par sach nishu... sukku ne kya wahiyat excuse use kia i mean... (and he bursted out laughing)
Nisha - oe bus bhot ho gya... tb se dekh rhi hu mere bhai ka majak bnaye jaa rha h... apni shakal dekhi h aaine m... apni baari p to bola nhi ja rha tha i luv u... fattu khi ka...

Nisha - ha to... tu kya karega...

Kabir - nhi to mai tjhe kiss karunga...
Nisha - (still in the flow) ha to isme kaunsi badi baat h... mai bhi tjhe... (she understood what he said and blushed) kitta k h yaar tu kabir...
She hit him on his chest as he laughed and hold her against him.
Kabir - par nisha... sach agar hm dno ye baat jaldi realise kar lete to kitna achha hota... nhi?
Nisha - realise to kar lia tha par bus keh hi nhi paye...
Kabir - kaash keh dia hota to mjhe tjhse door nhi jna padta ur na hi tjhe itna rulaya hota maine...

Nisha - kabirr.. yaar koi achha romantic moment kharab karna na tjhse sikhe...
Kabir - achha ji mai romantic nhi hu... ruk abhi batata hu tjhe...
With that he picked her up in his arms as she squealed loudly. He laughed and then took her to their room to show how romantic he is.
SCENE - 4
VIRAJ HOUSE
Viraj was in his study writing his diary when someone came, knocking at his door.
Viraj - come in...
Servant - viraj sir, khana ready h... maaji ne kha h aap niche aa jaye...
Viraj - aap chalie hm aate h...
Viraj dismissed him and finished his writing. Completing it, he stood up and started for dining table. As soon as he reached the stairs, he heard a melodic laughter booming in the hall. He furrowed his forehead thinking who might it be. But that confusion soon vanished when reached on the last step to greet a breathtaking site of kaira laughing her heart out at something vasu was saying. Suddenly she threw her head back laughing, her hair flowed with the wind, her hands were on that rosy cheek of hers while her eyes crinkled as tears of joy slipped through them. He stood there transfixed at the spot admiring her with a goofy smile when vasu located him and observed his reactions. A triumphant smile made its way on her face when kaira followed her gaze and blushed seeing viraj giving her an appreciating look.
Vasu - are viraj... vha kya khade h aap idhar aaeye.. dekhie aaj hmne kaira ko dinner p invite kia h...
Viraj - (sitting beside vasu) kab?? Ur aapne hme to nhi btaya maa...
Vasu - ab hm sab kuch aapko bta kar thodi karte h.. vaise bhi hm bhot time se kaira ko dinner par invite karna chahte the... islie kar lia... aapko koi prblm h...
Viraj - nhi maa... hm to bus ese hi puch rhe the... aap bhi na..
Vasu - hm kya viraj... aap to hmse baat karte nhi h ab hme koi to chahie na jisk sath hm apna dil lga sake..
All of them started eating food as one of the servant served them and kept on the conversation.
Kaira - kyu aunty viraj aapke sath time spend nhi karte?
Vasu - jaise aapko kuch pta hi nhi kaiea... inhe aapne bina file ya phone k dekha h kya? Jab dekho kabhi yha bhagte rehte h kabhi vha...
Kaira - ye to galat baat h viraj... aapko aunty ko bhi time dena chahie.
Viraj tried to butt in the convo bit vasu didnt let him.
Vasu - vo hi to hm inse kehte h... isilie ab hmne socha h ki inki shadi karwa denge hm... ab ur intzaar nhi karenge...
The words didnt left her mouth fully when the other two choked on their food.
Kairaj (unison & coughing) - shaadiii...
Vasu - (nonchalantly) ha ur kya.. kam se kam hmari bahu k saath to hm apna dil lga sakenge ur fir aapki shadi ho jaegi to aap bhi ghar par thoda dhyaan denge... waise hi umar ho gyi h aapki ab viraj ur hmari bhi ab hm ur wait nhi kar sakte...
She silently observed the two flabbergasted and turmoiled faces. The discomfort on their faces were clear as day. Where kaira was trying to hide her sadness by putting a sad smile, viraj was scowling at his food like it was culprit of his problems. Vasu had to refrain herself from shaking her head at the two stubborn people and twist their ears so that they can do the obvious. But now was the step - 2 of her plan.
Vasu - khair chhodie... is mamle ko hm nipta lenge... waise bhi hmne aapke lie ladkia dekhna shuru kar dia h...
Viraj looked at his mother horrified while kaira tried to blink back the pooling tears. For once vasu thought to drop the idea but then she had to do it for her son.
Vasu - (looking at her phone) oh... ye kya hmare phone par to paani gir gya... nisha ka call aa rha tha... kaira beta do min hme apna phone dengi? Hme nisha ki bhot fikr ho rhi h waise hi vo aajkal itni pareshan h...
Viraj - maa hm apna phone laa dete h.. upar hi h...
Vasu - nhi hme nisha se abhi baat karni h... ur jab kaira ko koi prblm nhi h to aapko kya problm h.. hai na kaira...
Kaira - ji aunty lijie na... mai nisha ko call mila deti hu...
Vasu - are aap khana khaeye beta... hme nisha ka no. Pta h hm lga lenge... (she stood up to went out) hm abhi aaye...
Saying that vasu scurried away from the hall and took out kaira parent no. from it.
Vasu - sorry kaira... hme aapki permission k bina ye karna pada but kya kare aap dno ko raste p laane ka yhi ek tarika bacha h hmare paas... ur ab nisha ko call bhi kar hi lete h...
Here viraj and kaira were sitting gloomily lost in thoughts.
Kaira - kaira... ab kya karengi aap... do baar aap already viraj ko kho chuki h... agar is baar esa kuch hua to is dil k itne tukde honge ki chah k bhi aap bator nhi paengi...
Viraj - viraj... ab matter haath se nikalta jaa rha h... agar maa ne aapki shadi khi fix kar di..fir aap kya karenge... pehle hi bhot mauke kho chuke h aap... ab aur nhi kho sakte... sochie kuch to sochie...
Viraj - (clearing his throat) ahmm... kaira hme kuch kehna h...
Kaira - ji viraj... kahie...
Viraj - vo hm... hm kehna chahte the ki hm... hm bhot pyaar karte h...
Kaira - ji???
Just then viraj saw vasu coming back.
Viraj - maa se... hm maa se bhot pyaar karte h...
Kaira - (a fake smile) ji.. viraj hm jante h aap maa se i mean aunty se bhot pyaar karte h...
Viraj too smiled at her and just then vasu joined them back. She handed kaira phone to her and smiled slyly at herself.
Viraj - (monologue) u r pathetic viraj singh rathore... aapka kuch nhi ho sakta...
