Part 1

DK Meet at Cliff again after Kaajjal lost her memory and went back to massourie.

Kaajjal is back to her normal life style. Life is fun again. Satya has joined the school as principal, and Kaajjal has joined masourie radio station. Hottie and bua are in missourie as well. So Kaajjal's life is once again usual and she is once again waiting for her raj kumar …

Dev gets a hotel proposal to be built in massourie. He reluctantly accepts the offer to come and visit the missourie site to decide if he wants to invest in the project or not. Reluctant because missourie is the same place where he first met Kaajjal. He has no idea Kaajjal is in missourie. For he left track of her.

On night, Kaajjal finishes her work late at radio station – she had a late night show. After finishing the show, she is coming back to her home on her cycle. All of a sudden her cycle gets a puncture ….

'o God, what the hell, I am staranded in the middle of this jungle and my cycle …" Kaajjal's is genuinely afraid …

'The weather is also bad .. Uff looks like barish bhi honay wali hai' she is talking to herself while dragging her cycle with her.

'Gannu bhaiyya please ghar pohancha do,' she looks at the skies as if talking to Gannu bhaiyya. Right then the lights spark, and the thunder roars …. Kaajjal's heart skips many beats. However, she keeps walking, a little faster.

Dev is done with his meeting and is on his way back to his guesthouse. He crosses the same cliff where he had met Kaajjal for the first time, and stops his car. Flashes of that beautiful meeting crosses his mind. Tears fills his eyes, his heart cries for Kaajjal, he closes his eyes for a split second, as if trying to believe he still feels so strongly for Kaajjal. And then all of a sudden he opens his eyes with anger in them,

'No, I hate her, I hate her …' he looks towards the cliff and then back at the road. He wants to drive the car but he just cannot. His heart is asking him to step down the car and go to that cliff where he first met his angel. He once again flares with anger,

'What the hell am I thinking, I don't care for her …. I hate her, she is dead for me …" he closes his eyes, at this thought, but heart cannot lie, eyes cannot lie, tears cannot lie. A tears rolls down his eyes with the pain of the truth that he still loves Kaajjal. He breaks down and puts his head on the steering wheel,

'I love you Kaajjal, I love you. How can I ever hate you …. Meri tu saansain hi tumharay naam say chalti theen … main tum say nafrat kaisay kar sakta hoon …." Tears are rolling down his eyes, but all of a sudden he gets flashes of NT dying, Kaajjal not believeing him etc. Once again anger and hatred flares in his eyes. He looks at that cliff with anger, and this time steps out of the car.

There, Kaajjal is still trying to walk with her cycle, with thunder roaring and lights screeming. And there, the rains starts. Dev is standing near the cliff, soaking wet, just lost in his thoughts. As if, he wants this rain to undo the fire burning in his heart. Kaajjal is soaking wet at her side and trying to walk. The rain is too heavy and tooo loud. She is really afraid. She is walking when she sees two men sitting in the jungle. They were probably playing cards when rain caught them as well. They see a beautiful girl, soaking wet, walking alone and they get up. Disrespect flaring in their eyes. Kaajjal read it instantly, and leaves the cycle and starts running.

She is running and they are following, but it's very dark, loud, and mushy and they loose trace of her. However, she is still running, and she reaches the cliff. Dev turns around and sees a girl running towards the cliff. He cannot make out her face because of darkness and mist, but runs towards her to save her from falling.

In an instant, he is there. Kaajjal is juts about to fall, when he slides his hand around her waist, and the other hand on her back to hold her there. Kaajjal, who is stopped but her body slides a little forward, has her head almost close to his right shoulder. Her both hands are on his shoulders, holding him tight for her life.

Then the moment comes. Kaajjal lifts herself up to stand straight, she turns her head towards her savior and Dev turn his head towards the ajnabi. And there, thunder strikes again, as their eyes meet. Dev sees his Kaajjal in his arms, once again, and for a flash of a second, his heart melts. He just want to hold her tight and close, but Kaajjal, she has a strangeness yet thankfulness in her eyes. Both are soaking wet, water dripping down every inch of their body. They are still in that moment whe thunder strikes again, the noise soo loud and fearful that Kaajjal's heart stops beating. She moves her arms around Dev and holds him tight and close to him, unintentionally. And dev, although is still angry, but never wanting to miss this moment of having Kaajjal in his arms one more time. He moves his arms around her and holds her tight and close – he had been dying for this moment for soo long. They are soaking wet, and with this wetness, they can feel every curve of their body even more vividly - every touch is much more suggestive and much more intense. Dev is lost in the moment, and Kaajjal looses herself in that moment as well. For deep down in her heart, her body had always known this touch, so she does not feel afraid.

She tightens her hold around him and holds him even closer. Dev closes any more distance left, but all of a sudden, Kaajjal opens her eyes at the horror of her body's desire. 'what is going on, who is this man I am soo willingly hanging on to' she thinks and breaks their embrace oddly.

Their eyes meet once again – Dev with mixed emotions and Kaajjal with strangeness. She could not take the heat of this man standing in front of her. She is seeing him for the first time and how shamelessly she touched him. She cannot stand here anymore, and she looks away and starts running – away from this man, back to her home, to her papa and bua. And Dev who is amazed at this behavior, keeps standing there, lost in the moment. Just looking at his angel disappearing once again.

Part 2

Dev is still standing there, looking at Kaajjal running away from him. He does not have a clue about Kaajjal having lost her memory. He just thinks Kaajjal, like him, does not want to do anything with him. But this thought kills him.

'Kaajjal doesn't want to do anything with me.' he is still confused at the expression in her eyes. 'It seems like she was looking at me for the first time.' Dev is still standing there, under heavy rain, just lost in Kaajjal. The moment that they just shared left him speechless. He could not believe Kaajjal had soo much power over him that this one hug will bring back every memory back. But the flashes of NT dying, Kaajjal not believing him once again flashes in his mind and he just jerks his head and starts walking towards his car.

'so Kaajjal is in missourie' he just cant stop thinking about Kaajjal.

Scene Change

Kaajjal is sitting in front of Gannu Bhaiyya, like she always used to and talking to him.

"yeh kaun hai Gannu Bhaiyya? Kuin mera dil ussay dekh kay zor zor say dhadaknay laga? kuin main nay ussay apni bahon main liya? Kuin us ki nazdeeki mujhay achi lag rahi thi? Pehlay tu aisa kabhi nahi hua, phir yeh kaun hai?" she is talking to her Gannu Bhaiyya and thinking about the man she does not even know the name of.

Scene change

Dev is a complete mess ever since NT died and he threw Kaajjal out of his life. He has turned back into the old Dev Pratap Singh who hated everyone. He was once again the arrogant, angry, rude, and proud man, who was not ready to give anyone a chance, or forgive anyone.

He is sitting in a restaurant for lunch, waiting for his order to arrive, when the waiter comes with a cold drink. All of a sudden, a group of boys crosses by and bumps into the waiter. The waiter gets a jerk, and the cold drink spills over DPS. Dev gets wet and he looses his temper.

"What the hell? Can't you see where you are going?" Dev glares at him.

"I am really sorry sir, I am sorry," the waiter stammers,

"What sorry? I have a meeting to catch in an hour and you have completely ruined my suit." Dev is just not ready to listen

"Call your manager, is this how you treat your clients." Looks like Dev wants to get the waiter sacked. Dev is still saying something, when he hears a voice.

"Excuse me!" Dev turns around at this familiar voice and finds Kaajjal standing there.

"The waiter said sorry. Don't you think you should forgive him" Kaajjal looks at him with challenging eyes. Dev who is almost stunned at seeing Kaajjal stammers with words and expressions. He can still see this indifference in her eyes.

"No" Dev says,

"I said call your manager." Dev shifts his eyes back to the waiter.

"ajeeb aadmi hain aap. Wo bechara mafi mang raha hai aur aap aisay kar rahay hain." Kaajjal glares at him,

"You seem like a rich man, why don't you go and change your clothes rather than shouting at him and wasting your precious time." Dev is confused.

'you seem like a rich man' Kaajjal's words are echoing in his mind, 'what the hell, is Kaajjal not even ready to recognize me. How can she forget me soo easily.' Jealousy overtakes, for a feeling that Kaajjal can live without him is too hard to tolerate. He wanted to see Kaajjal restless for him, just as much as he is restless for her. 'She has ruined my life and now she has this peaceful look on her face.' He looks at her closely, 'why can't I see any thing in her eyes?'

"yeh bohat chota sa shehar hai, aur yahan sab log pyar say rehtay hain. Aap please issay maaf kar dain Mr. ……" but Kaajjal doesn't even know his name. And Dev, who is dying to hear his name from her one more time, just waits with his breath held. How beautiful his name sounded to him every time Kaajjal said it … 'Dev, Dev ….' Kaajjal's voice echoes in his mind. However, Kaajjal stops there, for she does not even know his name.

Dev is still looking at her, dying to hear her say his name, but in vain. He gets restless.

'Kaajjal doesn't even want to take my name. Not once did she call me as Dev. How can she do this? How???' Dev is getting agitated here.

'but didn't I start this whole thing. Wasn't I the one who broke all ties. So why am I feeling this restlessness.' Kaajjal just turns around and starts moving away from him. All of a sudden, the sight of seeing Kaajjal walk away from him one more time, kills him. He runs after her,

"Kaajjal," and Kaajjal comes to a stand still upon hearing her name from this ajnabi. She turns around to look at him. Dev sees this look in her eyes,

"don't you even want to acknowledge me." Dev asks in a strange tone. He himself doesn't know what he wants. Kaajjal who had been running after him to talk, is now not even acknowledging him. Kaajjal who's eyes always had love for him, has this cold strangeness. All of a sudden he feel like he has been rejected, deserted, and he can't bear the thought of it. Ever since he has seen Kaajjal again, his heart is restive. He can't think of anything, but Kaajjal. He thought he had thrown her out of his mind and heart, but he realized she was right there, as the queen who had conquered his heart and his soul. Kaajjal stays quiet, for she doesn't know to acknowledge what?

"Kaajjal?" Dev is still waiting for an answer.

"who are you?" Kaajjal finally speaks, and Dev feels as if a bomb exploded in his ears.

'who am I? What the hell' Dev wants to move forward and touch her. He steps forward and closes the distance between them. He touches her shoulder, and all of a sudden, electricity runs down her spine.

'why do I feel like this every time he touches me? Who is he?' her heart shouts, and she pulls back, jerking her shoulder to drop his hand, almost throwing it away.

"What the hell is this? Who are you? Don't ever touch me again, you understand?" Kaajjal almost shouts, and Dev is spellbound. To him, it is because he has hurt her tooo much and this is her way of paying him back. He has no clue about her ML. she turns around and tries to run. But Dev, instantly steps forward and holds her hand, bringing her to a sudden halt. He pulls her to him, so hard that she almost crashes on his chest.

"I don't touch you … hah yeah sure …." Dev is glaring at her. He has in a midst of contradicting emotions - loving her or hating her. He wants to hurt her with his words. He tightens his arms around her, and she wiggles in them like a fish out of water. His touch is melting her heart, but her mind is afraid of this hateful look in his eyes.

"Stop this nonsense." Dev says in a hateful tone, "you know you can't stay away from me."

"choro mujhay" Kaajjal says hysterically and twists in his arms again. But Dev is just not letting her go. He moves closer to her, closing any space or distance. Kaajjal could feel his arms tightening around her; she could feel his body crushing her into him. And to her sheer horror, she could feel her body responding.

"Main nay kaha choro mujhay, nahi tu main chilaao'n gi." Kaajjal warns him, while still struggling to free herself.

"chilaon gi, pehlay apnay aap ko tu sambhal lo, jo meray aik touch say beqaar ho gaee ho." Dev once again says in a detestable tone, but it was soo true. She knows he can feel her response to his touch. It was as if her body was not ready to listen to her. And she almost gets tears in her eyes,

"please choro mujhay." And this glint of tear brings Dev back to his senses.

'what the hell am I doing? Why am I doing this? How can I treat her like this?' In an instant, he loosens his grip, and she frees herself from him. She just looks at him one more time, with tears and hate in her eyes and runs away from there. Once again, Dev sees her angel running away from her. He is standing there like a statue, ashamed of his own behavior.

'What has gone into me? What is it that I want from Kaajjal? What do I want from myself? Do I hate her or love her? Why was I trying to hurt her? But at the same time, why did I feel bad when she didn't acknowledge me? Why why why?' there are soo many question, and he has no clue of anyone of them.

Kaajjal reaches home and locks herself in her room. She can't believe what just happened. She hates herself.

'He was crushing me to him, and my body was responding. I wanted to be in his arms. I wanted to feel him hold me. I loved it when he held my hand and pulled me to him. I loved it when he held me close and closer. I loved it, and I hate myself for this. He is a stranger, and I am behaving like a shameless girl. But who is he? Why does he have this power on me? Why?' and the thought that really worries Kaajjal, 'how does he know my name????' Kaajjal has an intense look on her face, she is sitting at the edge of her bed, her upper body moving back and forth, her breathing heavy, and her eye wet with tears of shame and anger.

Part 3

It is late. Dev is in his guesthouse, just thinking about the day's events. He has agreed to invest in the hotel project, and that means more of Missouri.

'I am glad I accepted the project. But why am I happy? Because of the project or because I am in the same town as Kaajjal. Not for once did Kaajjal take my name? Not for once did I see that love in her eyes? Not for once? And its hurting me' he is not ready to accept the fact that Kaajjal doesn't want to do anything with him.

'But she killed my mom. She mistrusted me; I will never forgive her, never.' Once again, anger is blazing in his eyes.

'But why am I thinking about her, why do I want to meet her again, why do I want to touch her again. why why?'

"Dev" a voice brings him back. It's his friend Anupam (remember the one in Missouri)

"hmm" Dev replies without looking at him.

"chalo utho khana kha lo."

"nahi mujhay bhook nahi hai." Dev is not hungry at all.

"kuin bhaee, kya baat hai." Anupam sits next to him.

"kuch nahi." Dev tries to change the topic.

"kuch tu hai, batao?" Anupam insists

"Kaajjal.." this is all that Dev could say. He had told almost everything to Anupam, and Anupam has a fair idea about the whole situation.

"what about her?" Anupam gets serious, for he knows that, when Dev is talking about Kaajjal, he is not to be messed with. Dev looks at him,

"I met her,"

"What?" Anupam is surprised,

"where, when?"

"Yesterday, and today." Dev says with his eyes bent, as if he is still lost in those moments. Trying to make sense of his own feelings.

"Was she ok?" Anupam knew Dev threw her out of his house, and she might not be well after all that.

"well, she was more than ok." Once again, Dev gets restless, thinking about Kaajjal's behavior. Jealous and agitated.

"kya matlab hai, more than ok?" Anupam is confused,

"matlab yeh kay …" Dev says in a crisp tone, and turns his head with a jerk. But all of a sudden many colors crosses his face, and his voice softens

"matlab yeh kay, us nay mujhay pehchannay say bhi inkaar kar diya. Mujh say baat bhi nahi ki. Mujhay aisay dekha jaisay main koee ajnabi hoon!" Dev is at a breaking point here. He can't even hear the sound of it all.

"tu yehi tu tum chahtay thay, phir ab kya problem hai?" Anupam says bluntly, and Dev freezes at this question. He had been trying to find an answer to this questions for quiet some time now, but in vain. Dev doesn't say anything, and Anupam realizes what Dev is going through, for he knows what Kaajjal means to him. He knows only Kaajjal can bring back happiness and love in his life, and he is determined to make Dev realize his mistake and get Kaajjal back. Therefore, he pushes him further,

"I said, isn't that what you wanted? Then why are you upset. Tumhain tu khush hona chahiyay, she is moving on in her life. Ab tumhain kya chahiyay?" Anupam's words pinch him hard, but he stays quiet, trying to think, 'mujhay kya chahiyay'

"meri zindagi main aag laga kay, khud sakoon kaisay lay sakti hai wo. Main din raat tadap raha hoon, aur wo," Dev is burning with the fire of rejection.

"tum nay jo us kay saath kiya, us kay baad wo tumhain dekhay bhi kuin?" Anupam as always says bluntly.

"aur us nay jo kiya?" Dev looks at Anupam with anger,

"ghalti ka jawab ghalti say nahi diya jata Dev. Us nay ghalti ki, aur tum nay us say bari ghalti ki." Anupam says in a determined tone.

"us nay ghalti ki tu tum nay ussay ghar say nikal diya, apni zindagi say nikaal diya. Ab tum nay ghalti ki hai tu tum us say kya expect kartay ho?" Anupam wants Dev to admit he still loves her. He is just pushing him to a point of no return. Dev is listening to Anupam intently and thinking, 'main kya expect karta hoon?'

"agar tum thora samajh say kaam laitay tu kya baat thi. Lekin nahi, tumhain tu ghussa karna aata hai. Apnay haathon say apni duniya veeran kar li hai tum nay." Anupam words are tearing him apart.

"Anyways, you should be glad now. Let her live her life, and you move on with your's." Anupam pats his shoulder and starts walking out.

"How can I live without her?" The words blurt out of Dev's mouth unintentionally, but too late, they are said. All of a sudden, Dev looks up at Anupam with chor nazar, and finds him looking at him closely.

"yeh tu tumhain ussay apni zindagi say nikaaltay huyay sochna chahiyay tha Dev," Anupam burns the fire once again.

"jitna humiliate tum nay ussay kiya hai us kay baad, jo Kaajjal kar rahi hai theek kar rahi hai."

"magar wo mujhay aisay kaisay ignore kar sakti hai … she can't do that damnit, she can't." Dev bangs his hand on the table in front of him with anger and irritation. Anupam can see his frustration,

"tu tum kya chahtay ho?" once again Anupam asks him the same question. But Dev stays quiet, just looking somewhere with the same passion and sadness in his eyes,

"tu tum kya chahtay ho?" once again Anupam asks, but Dev doesn't reply, as if he himself is afraid of the answer,

"Dev, tum kya chahtay ho?" Anupam repeats,

"I want Kaajjal back." Dev almost shouts, and all of a sudden realizes what he had said. This is the answer he was afraid of. This is the answer he was running away from ever since he set his eyes on Kaajjal again yesterday.

"Do you want her back because you love her, or because she totally ignored you. Is it love or ego?" Anupam glares at him, for he wants Dev to think hard here.

"tum say bardasht nahi hua na kay us nay tumhain pehchana nahi, kay us ki ankhon main tumhain apna chehra nahi nazar aaya. …. Haina?" Dev looks at him with a confused look.

"You still love her Dev. And you have always wanted her in your life." Anupam starts with his final decision,

"Go and get her back, warna kahin bohat dair na ho jayay. Abhi us nay tumhain acknowledge nahi kiya tu tumhara yeh haal hai." Anupam is still talking but Dev shouts with anger,

"kya haal hai mera, I am fine. You hear me, I am fine!!" Dev says with the same DPS ziddi way. Not ready to accept he wants Kaajjal.

"khud ki awaz suno, tab tumhain pata chalay ga kya haal hai tumhara. Khud ko aainay main dekho tab tumhain pata chalay ga kya haal hai tumhara. Tumhari awaz, tumhara roam roam Kaajjal Kaajjal chilla raha hai, aur tum zid pay array ho." Anupam is being the most sincere friend here.

"lekin us nay meri mom ko mar dala. Us ki zid nay meri mom ko," Dev breaks down at this, he has tears in his eyes. The two women he loved like crazy in his life, one was dead and one he has declared dead.

"yeh mat bhoolo Dev, wohi thi jo aunty ki jaan bachanay kay liyay tumhain Rajgani say layee thi. Had she not cared, she wouldn't have bothered. Aik ghalti say kisi ki intentions ka faisla nahi kiya jata. Ho sakta hai, jo tumhain nazar aa raha ho wo sach na ho." Anupam tries to convince him.

"lekin tum nay ussay kuch kehnay ka moqa nahi diya, bas nikal diya apni zindagi say. Tum nay bohat bari ghalti ki hai, aur ab …. " Anupam is about to say his last words,

"aaj us ki aankhon mai tumhain apnay liyay pyar nahi nazar aaya tu tumhara yeh haal hai, Kal ko kahin us nay kisi aur ka haath thaam liya tu kya tum bardasht kar pao gai?" He turns around at this and leaves, leaving a confused and restless Dev behind.

He picks up a glass and starts drinking.

'kisi aur ka haath tham liya … NO … NEVER … Kaajjal sirf meri hai. Wo kisi aur ki nahi ho sakti. Main ussay kisi aur ka nahi honay doon ga. Wo sirf meri hai, sirf Dev Pratap Singh ki.' Pegs after pegs, he is gulping them down and burning with mixed feelings. Kaajjal's face is constantly haunting him. He finally gets up and gets in his car.

He is driving like crazy, and finally brings his car to a halt. He looks up and finds himself parked in front of Kaajjal's house.

'What the hell am I doing here?' he shouts at himself.

'Why am I here, I can't do this. I can't.' he is fighting with his own self, completely shattered, when he sees a reflection in the bedroom window of the second floor.

Its Kaajjal's bedroom. She is feeling restless as well. Sometimes she feels something is missing in her life. As if, she has lost something, something very precious. But what is this feeling.

'I haven't lost anything, than why do I feel like this?' she jerks her head, and then her mind drifts to that man. The man she met yesterday and today. The man who, when touches her, turns her into jelly. She can still feel him holding her close to him. She can still feel his touch on her skin. She comes and stands by her window to breathe some fresh air, resting her side at the corner of the window.

Dev sees his angel standing there, the light of the full moon, shining bright on her face. She is looking like a fairy ready to take off. All of a sudden, he wants to close this distance between them, and he gets out of the car - heavily drunk, that his feet are not supporting him. The moment he steps out, Kaajjal feels a movement down there and shifts her gaze. And there, she sees him standing there, looking at her. They can easily see each other; the distance is not too much to blur any vision. She sees this man, passion and intensity soo evident from his eyes and his whole being that her heart stops beating.

'what is he doing here?' she is terrified for a moment, but her heart … she can feel her heart jumping with joy. As if silently this is what her heart had been wishing for.

Part 4

Their eyes meet in the most passionate eye locking session. His eyes are tearing her apart. The look in his eyes is soo intense that Kaajjal could feel herself melting at his gaze. She can't understand why his eyes look soo familiar. It is as if she has known these eyes forever. As if, she knows this gaze and the intensity in it. She feels her whole being pulled to him, as if he was a magnet. Her breathing gets heavy and she is unable to control herself. She wants to run to him. She wants to touch him, hold him, and ask him who is he and why is she soo helpless in front of him. But she holds her feet.

Dev is still looking at her, almost begging her with his eyes to come down to him. He is hoping that tonight, he will see the same love in her eyes, he has been dying to see. Hoping that tonight, she will take his name and make him alive again. However, his hopes die in an instant when he sees her stepping back and closing the window with a jerk. As if telling him with this gesture to 'get lost'. And there, Dev's heart stops beating. She has rejected him completely, and he cannot bear the thought of it. Suddenly, tears of pain and agony starts rolling down his eyes. He closes his fingers to make a fist and bangs it on the car, only to leave a dent. His whole being cries with the pain of rejection. He tries to take a step, but he is soo heavily drunk that he cannot even move and falls down on the ground - almost unconscious.

Kaajjal is pacing here and there in her room, restless and fidgety, 'who is this man, why do I feel soo strongly for him. Why? And why is he here. What does he want? Why is he doing this to me?' she is almost in tears herself, and once again, she peeps out of the window to see if he is gone or not. And there, she finds him on the ground, unconscious. That was it for her, she cannot bear this sight, her heart goes out to him, and she starts running downstairs.

She comes running to him and sees him unconscious. She sits down on the ground, holds his head, and keeps it in her laps.

"suniyay …." she pats his face to bring him to senses. She can smell the strong odor of liquor and realizes he is heavily drunk.

'ab main kya karoon. I can't leave him like this. And I don't know who is he, so I can inform someone?' she is nervously thinking when Dev's cell starts ringing. She jumps at this sudden noise and then searches for his cell in his pocket. She presses the receive button, but before she could say something, Anupam starts speaking,

"Dev, where are you? At least you should have informed me that you were going somewhere. This is height of irresponsibility?" Anupam is shouting and Kaajjal is lost in the name 'Dev'.

'So his name is Dev ….. Dev, Dev …' she repeats the name in her mind many times, but can't think why this name seems so familiar, soo important.

"main nay kaha, kahan ho tum?" Anupam is irritated at Dev's reckless behavior, and this brings Kaajjal back,

"h … hello .." Kaajjal stammers with words,

"hello, who is this?" Anupam is surprised to hear a girl,

"ji main … actually, wo, wo, D … De … Dev is here," her tongue is stopping while taking Dev's name. Her heart is skipping trillion beats while she is saying Dev. She can't make out why this name is having such an effect her. Why?

'I think he is too drunk and is unconscious. Can you please come and get him." Kaajjal does not tell her name.

"Unconscious? Why? How? Where are you, please tell me so I can come." And Kaajjal gives him her address.

"By the way, can I ask who are you?" Anupam asks, before hanging up,

"It doesn't matter. Aap please aa kay inhain lay jaain." Kaajjal says and disconnects.

She is still sitting on the floor with his head in her lap for she doesn't want to leave him on the ground like this. She looks back towards her house to see if alls well inside. It was late and Satya and bua had already retired.

She shifts her gaze back to him, and her eyes rests on his face.

'How familiar does this face look. It is as if I know every feature so vividly.' She finds herself staring at Dev, not wanting this moment to end. He was looking like an angel in her laps.

'But these lines of stress and pain. Why is he sooo sad? Where does this pain come from? Why was he looking at me, as if he knew me, and wanted something from me? What does he want from me?' Kaajjal is thinking about all these things when she feels a movement in him. She looks down and finds him opening his eyes. She hesitates and their eyes meet. The gaze sooo intense, soo powerful that none spoke for what seemed like an eternity.

"Tum aa gaee Kaajjal," Dev's finally speaks, and his words bring her back. She tries to stand up.

"main is liyay aayee kuin kay mujhay laga aap ko kisi ki zaroorat thi." Kaajjal says while standing up. Dev is struggling to stand up and Kaajjal supports him. Their hands touch, and their eyes meet at this touch. Kaajjal feels electricity running down her spine at this slight touch. She can feel that strange pull. Every time she touches this man, her heart starts beating fast.

'uff, what is wrong with me. I have to go from here, before I end up in his arms.' She can't believe she just thought about his arms. 'o God I am going crazy. I have to go..'

"ab aap theek hain tu I better go." she starts moving towards her house, when Dev holds her hand.

"abhi na jao Kaajjal, please" Dev says in the most intense voice, and Kaajjal's heart stops beating at his tone. She turns around to look at him. She keeps looking at him for some time and then speaks.

"haath choriyay mera." She glares at him, all of a sudden angry. His touch is melting her like a jelly, and she is actually angry on her own weakness, which she takes out on Dev,

"aakhir aap mujh say kya chahtay hain, kuin paraisahn kar rahay hain mujhay?" she asks in a strange tone. She knew she was lying, he was not bothering her, instead, he was making her go weak in her knees; he was driving her crazy; he was making her want him,

"kya? Main tumhain paraishan…." Dev tries to repeat her words with pain. "haan Kaajjal, jo main nay kiya us kay baad tumhain aisa hi kehna chahiyay." Dev says in a broken voice,

"kya kiya aap nay? Mujhay kuch nahi pata!!!" she almost shouts, "You don't exist for me, you understand. So please, stop disturbing me again and again." She turns around at this to leave. And Dev starts burning again with this pain of rejection. He holds her hand tight and pulls her back towards him. He pushes her back, such that her back is rested on the car, and he hovers over her.

"I don't exist for you." He glares at her. His hands rested on her sides, pinning her between him and the car. He presses him to her intensely, and she almost faints with the intensity of his touch.

"I don't exist for you," he repeats again, this time with even more anger and jealousy, and punches the car with his fist. "How can you say that? How????"

"Let me go, you are hurting me!!" Kaajjal squirms between him and the car; she has no way to go. She is afraid of his anger.

"No!!! You are hurting me Kaajjal Behl." He moves even closes to her, almost crushing her to him. Their bodies are touching and they are breathing heavily. Kaajjal knows the power this man has on her. His close proximity is already weakening her,

"aakhir aap chahtay kya hain?" Kaajjal is afraid of her own weakness and this look in his eyes – almost hateful and heated.

"tum aisay kuin kar rahi ho jaisay you don't know me. Jaisay mera koee wajood nahi tumharay liyay?" he has questions in his eyes,

"Kaajjal, Kaajjal …. aik baar keh do kay tum mujh say aaj bhi pyar karti ho." His voice softens at this, almost begging her, "Main chala jaaon ga. Phir tumhain kabhi paraishan nahi karoon ga … aik baar Kaajjal, aik baar keh do .." He is just dying to hear her confess her love for him one more time.

"main aap say pyar nahi karti … choriyay mujhay" Kaajjal wiggles again,

"tum mujh say pyar karti ho God damn it. Tum mujh hi say pyar karti ho." He almost shouts, banging his both hands on the car again, from both sides of Kaajjal, and her heart stops beating to see his anger. His restlessness touches its heights. "Suna tum nai Kaajjal … tum mujh hi say pyar karti ho. Tumharay Na karnay say sach nahi badal jayay ga."

"nahin .." Kaajjal shouts back,

"haan," he shouts back, "dekho apnay aap ko, kaisay tadap rahi ho meri bahon main aanay kay liyay. Tumhara roam roam mujhay choonay kay liyay beqarar hai," his voice softens at this, "jaisay mera roam roam tumhain choonay kay liyay beqarar hai. aik baar keh do Kaajjal, aik baar … sari duniya say chupa loon ga tumhain, phir koee takleef tum tak nahi aanay doon ga … aik baar Kaajjal," Dev husky, low voice, almost begging her, turns her heart into jelly. She cannot believe the effect Dev is having on her. It was as if every word he is saying was true. And to her horror, she knew she was dying to be in his arms.

'I have to stop this before it's too late. For heaven's sake, I don't even know him' Kaajjal's mind is racing at a speed of light. Dev can see these colors crossing her face,

"Kaajjal, aik bar keh do tum mujh say aaj bhi pyar karti ho. Please Kaajjal," he loosens his arms around her and cups her face. "tumhari yeh berukhi mujh say bardasht nahi ho rahi. Main pagal ho jaoon ga Kaajjal, main pagal ho jaoon ga." he says in a broken tone, and Kaajjal's heart melts. Dev bends his head, almost tears in his eyes.

"Please say you love me."

'I have to stop this, I have to' Kaajjal's mind shouts.

"main aap say pyar nahi karti …. NO!!! " this time she jerks his hands, almost throwing them away.

'but what is wrong with my heart, it is saying … what is it saying? It is saying, YES .. chupke se.' a thought crosses her mind in a split second.

"Agar ab aap nay mujhay haath lagaya tu acha nahi ho ga." Kaajjal glares at him,

"tu kya karo gi tum haan…" once again Dev holds her shoulders, "tum meri ho, sirf meri …. Samjhi tum. Sirf mera haq hai tumhain haath laganay ka. Sirf Dev Pratap Singh ka." He shakes her and this time Kaajjal lifts her hand and gives him a hard slap.

They are both standing there, glaring at each other – Dev with disbelief, and Kaajjal with hatred and anger in her eyes. And Dev feels as if he has lost every battle today. He has truly lost his Kaajjal today.
