Entwined to Eternity;Update on page 74 (3rd Dec) - Page 35

Till late Rachu keeps staring at both the photos.. one which she got from Vitthal uncle and the one which she has treasured from the day she got it. She once again looks at the innocent eyes of the kid and wonders whether this eyes can kill someone... He looks at them holding hands in the photograph and says, " Do u still remember me or u have forgotten me the way I did. U are holding my hand so affectionately.. Do u still feel the same affection for me?? Granny told me that u left the orphanage the day my parents adopted me... Do u still can leave anything for me?? Do u feel connected to me the way I do after seeing the photograph?? Till few days back I was unaware of ur existence and now I feel that U have a special place in my life.. My heart is not ready to believe that u will kill me.. I know I do not have any reason to trust u but still my heart says u can't hurt me..."

Romi who is in rehab is trying to sketch Rani's face but fails again and again.. He closes his eyes and remembers their childhood.. He sees them playing in the garden and Rani calling him dost.. Her eyes when she was leaving him and the tears in them.. He starts sketching again and this time he succeeds in drawing her eyes.. He looks at them and says.. "Where are u Rani.. from past so many years I am trying to search u.. Do u remember me?? Do u know my name?? have u ever tried to contact me?? Do u know that somewhere someone is there who is ready to be by ur side in every situation. I wish I could tell u the feelings I have for u.. I, Romi who believes that I do not have heart still feels something for u.. I feel as if my life revolves around u. My aim is to find u.. "

Rach comes to the window and looks at the moon.. "We are so apart but still I feel u r very close to me.. As if I will extend my hand and u will come to hold it.. I do not know how I can think like this just by watching at that photo but ur eyes in the pic is showing the love u had for me.. N this is not some lovely feeling but pure feelings of a friend.. A friend who can do anything to protect me.. A friend who can stand by me to save me from this harsh world.. But do u too feel the same??"

Romi too comes at the window in rehab and looks at the moon from his window.. "Rani.. wherever u r.. I just wish u r happy.. This moon is showering all the happiness in ur life.. u know people think that I am emotionless n I know I am but still u r the only one who can bring smile on my face.. I want to see that smile of ur for which I can die.. The girl who used to smile from eye to eye.. u know there is one more girl whose smile resembles with urs..Rachana.. The talkative girl. I wish I dint had to... " Romi was not able to complete his sentence.. The thought of killing her shivers him. He knows he has to do it but still somewhere down he wants her to live a long and happy life. He closes his eyes and come backs to his room.. Folding the sketches that he had drew in the day.. He picks the sheet.. which has the pic of that tattoo.. Rachana's face and Rani's eyes.. A knife, a broken heart and a child inside the tunnel. He locks them in the almira without realizing that Rani's eyes and Rachana's eyes are exactly same. He covers himself with the sheet and tries to sleep but the sleep is away from his eyes.. The mention of Rach and his mission has disturbed him once again.

Rach is still standing at window and staring at moon,She looks at the chain she is wearing in the neck.. She flips the pendant and looks at the chip.. "i know u want this chip.. n now I won't search u but u will come to me for finding this chip...U will come to kill me.. But m afraid.. will u be able to kill ur friend?? I am afraid that u will.. N m not scared to die but will u be able to survive after knowing who I was.". She said while keeping the photo back in the bag and takes out her diary to write.

Aaj dil mein jaaga ek darr sa hain

Sang uske yeh rishta mera uljha sa hain

Tha jo dost mere bachpan ka

Ban baitha dushman meri jaan ka

Yakeen nahi aata is baat par

ki beh rahi hain nigahen kis jazbaat par

Chalak rahi hai dosti uski maasoom nigaahon se

iss tasveer mein, jo hai meri panaahon me

Kya ho gaya hai woh iss kadar beraham

In guzren huye saalon me

Ye kaisa dard uth raha hai seene me

Kya dekh paungi nafrat uski aankhon me

Kyun nahi hai raazi ye maanne ko mera dil

Ki dost hi mera banne chalaa mera Qatil

Koi shikwa nahi hai aye khuda, khoob hai ye teri Khudaai

Ek dost ko ek dost se maut ki saugaat dilaayi!

Prem who has given her ample time with herself comes to her with two coffee mugs. She closes her diary on seeing him. He notices he sad expression and tries to cheer her up.. He looks at her wearing the white sleeveless v neck t-shirt with red flower printed sleeping shorts and whistles at her, "Haaye.. Someone is looking damn sexy today.. Looks like someone has learnt some dressing sense." She smiles on hearing this and to Prem's amusement doesn't reply back. He pools the chair and sits while giving her a gift.. She gets happy on seeing it and tries to snatch it but he teases her a bit and finally gives it to her.. She gets surprise on seeing the professional DSL camera in it and hugs him while saying thank u. While hugging she was trying to hide the tears that came rolling down but she wipes them immediately on remembering the promise she had made to herself for Adi.

"hey.. u don't need to hide that tears from me.. u know u can share anything from me." Prem said while looking at her.

She just nods in yes and tries to smile, "But I am not crying.. u know Adi doesn't like tears in my eyes."

"Yes, I know.. N I know my little frn ver well, u don't share ur feelings with anyone.. not even me but u know I can still understand ur pain. N ur little nose.. it turns red whenever u try to hide ur tears." He said while pulling her nose. She smiles on this.

"Thanks for the camera.. This is exactly what I wanted 3 years back.. u remembered it till now??"

"Yes.. N I remember the promise u took me that I won't use my pocket money for this n hence I have to wait for 2 years. I purchased it with my 1st hard earned money i.e. my stipend. N now I want u to click Adi's pic with this... I am sure he will be fine soon."

Rach nods in yes while remembering Adi and her family.. She remembers how she was crazy about photography but had to leave it coz of circumstances.. Prem looks at her and gives weird expression.. She clicks his snaps in those and they laugh seeing at it. He asks her about the rehab and her job.. She tells him everything and stops at Romi.. After a bit of hesitation she says.. "And Romi.. Such an interesting guy he is.. he ha done some crime but not the bigger one.. u know he loves Monu so much.. It feels like he can easily connect with anyone.. his eyes.. I can see lots of pain in it.. as if trying to hide it from anyone and I have never seen him smiling.. he dint even blinked while taking injection.. N.."

"N u r attracted to him" Prem completed the sentence.

"What rubbish.. I m not." Rachana said while lowering her eyes.

"Comon a blind can read the attraction u have for him. "

She stays mum and nods in yes to avoid embarrassment. Prem laughs on seeing her silent as staying silent is not Rach's cup of tea. Finally she returns to herself and asks, "Do u have a girlfriend??"

"Not yet.. "

"Than going to marry a girl fo Kamla maa's choice.."

"Do u want to marry me??" He asked while keeping at straight face. She looks at him confuse.. And than realizes what she asked,.. She screams... "Nahi... Never!! I know Kamla maa wants us to marry but "

"But we are just friend.. N we are not made for each other.. I want a normal girl for me.. who doesn't only speak but listen as well.. who is kind hearted but has some attitude and who accepts our relation the way it is.." He said and she nods in agreement.. As this is the truth.. they both believe in platonic friendship.. N hate the fact that people like to link them up. Prem though cares for Rach a lot but she is just a friend to him and Rach.. she is comfortable with Prem but searching someone with whom she can share her pain which she has not been able to share with anyone.. After the usual chit chat Prem goes to her room and Rach looks at her mobile thinking about Romi. She just fumes on herself for not taking his number and now fuming on him. She has finally accepted that she is attracted towards him n she will use this attraction to find info about the drug racket and his assassin friend.

Romi who is sleepless is fiddling with his phone.. Staring at Rach's contact in phonebook and than exiting it.. he had done this almost 100 times but is not able to callmsg her.

"Call her.. u will feel better" He heard a feeble voice of his non-existent heart which was scared of his reaction.

"No don't.. she will ask from where u got her number.. what will u say?? U had hired a man to keep an eye on her and he gave u." His brain tried to argue.

"But u can say that u got it from the rehab. After all she is the volunteer here." This time his heart argued back with little confidence.

"N why will I call her?? Do I really care??" A strong opposition came from his agitated brain.

"This will be beneficial for ur plan.. after all u need to execute ur plan as soon as possible." his heart replied with boldness... Somewhere heart knew that he has succeeded in luring the brain by talking about plan and has succeeded in hiding the feelings that are brewing in it for that girl.
