PROLOGUE :-

At night,when the whole family was sleeping,a man walked towards his study table and sat on the chair.He put on the table lamp and also put on his glasses.After that,he opened a diary.He looked at the photo of his family on the table and had a slight smile on his face.He said,in his mind,"Yakeen nehi aata ke zindagi kaise kaise ajeeb mod leti hai.Ek khushaal parivaar ko pal mein tabaah karke,ek haste muskuraate insaan ko gunaaho ke daldal mein jhok dena,usse uski saari khushiya cheen lena,yakeen nehi aata...sach mein yakeen nehi aata hai un dino ke baare mein soch kar,us khaufnaak raato ke baare mein sochkar,jisne aajtak usey ek raat chain se sone nehi diya.Vohi daraavne sapne,vohi apne parivaar ko bachaane ki fikar aur uske liye har roz ek maasoom ki bali charaana..."The man started writing something on the diary.But before he could write,he stopped and again thought,"Aaj main us insaan ke un dardnaak raato ko phir se dohraane ja raha hu.Pata nehi ye sahi hoga ya galat,par main chahta hu ke duniawaale ye jaane ke gunaaho ke raaste par chalne waala har insaan gunehgaar nehi hota,agar vo gunehgaar banta bhi hai to vo apni marzi se nehi banta,apne parivaar ke liye,uski raksha karne ke liye kabhi kabhi na chahte huye bhi zeher peena parta hai aur vohi usne kiya tha.Saari dunia ne usey galat samjha,aaj main uski kahaani sabko bataaunga aur ye bhi bataaunga ke agar sachcha pyar saath ho,to insaan koi bhi jung jeet sakta hai..."

He started writing the story...

CHAPTER - 1

[ 3.5 YEARS AGO , MUMBAI ]

A man was sleeping in the bed of his small apartment.The weather was a bit cool due to the constant raining last night,but still the man was sweating like anything.He could not sleep and was trembling in fear as if a nightmare was haunting him.At last,he screamed hard and got up on the bed.He started looking here and there and was trying to get accustomed to the environment around him.He was breathing very fast and after sometime,he cooled down.At that moment,his alarm clock started ringing.He looked at that clock and put it off.He emptied a whole glass of water.Just then his phone started ringing.He picked up the call.The convo :-

STRANGER :- "Hullo ha main bol raha hu.Tumhaare next assignment ka time ho gaya hai."

MAN :- "Ha pata hai.Bolo ab kisko laana hai?"

S :- "Next target Shimla mein hai.Anaath larki hai,apne mama mami ke paas rehti hai.Bohot khubsurat bhi hai.Ekdam perfect target."

M :- "Mujhe ye sab aur kitne dino tak karna parega?Iam fed up of this now."

S :- "Jabtak hamaara loss,jo tere vajah se hua tha vo saara cope up nehi ho jaata tabtak."

M :- "Aur kitna karvaaoge tum ye sab mujhse?"

S :- "Dekhle shaayad yehi aakhri ho.Soch le uske baad tu aur teri family hamesha ke liye azaad.Khair apna email ID khol,waha us larki ka saara detail aur photo bhi hai aur sun tere tickets bhi mail kar di hai.Le lena aaj raat ki flight hai."

The stranger cut the call.

The man opened his email ID and found the information of the girl which was his next target.Generally he never looks carefully at the photos of his targets but that time,when he downloaded her photo,her eyes captured him.He kept on staring the photo.He slowly got up from his seat and started packing for his departure of the next assignment.After completing his packing,he printed out his ticket.He made a coffee for himself and came out of the kitchen.He stood in front of the window and in his mind,said,"Aaj ek aur jurm karne ja raha hu.Ek aisa jurm jiske vajah se bhagwaan to dur shaayad meri khudki aatma mujhe kabhi maaf nehi karegi.Par main jaanta hu ke bhagwaan ye jaante hai ke main ye sab kyu kar raha hu.Main bas bhagwaan se yehi dua karta hu ke vo meri family ki hifaazat kare aur meri jaisi haalat mein kabhi kisiko na daale."He walked towards his bed and picked up the photo of his mother from the side table and then started talking to it.He said,"Ma main phir se ek aur larki ko bali charaane ke liye in bheriyo ke paas laane ja raha hu.Ma mujhe ye sab nehi karna hai.Ye paap mujhse ab aur nehi hota hai."He burst out into tears and cried like a baby by hugging his mother's photo.

This was the daily routine,or rather daily routine before hunting a girl,of Akash's life.After every 3 months,he gets a consignment and before carrying out the operation,he used to cry his heart out by hugging his mother's photo.A year ago,he used to lead a very peaceful and happy life with his family consisting of his parents and a younger sister.His father,Mr Sushant Saluja had a business of diamond jewelleries and they were very rich.His mother,Mrs Shilpa Saluja used to help her husband in their business and his sister Miss Suhaani Saluja was a college going girl.It was decided that after one last deal,Akash will take over the business from his father giving him rest,but everything changed.Everything turned upside down!A sudden calamity appeared in such a way in Akash's family that his whole family and happiness was destroyed.His whole family was made captive since last one year and he had to commit to the jobs provided to him in exchange of his family's life.In every three months,a girl from a good and simple family were selected and Akash was given the task to ascort her with him to his employers.He was chosen,for the task because of his innocent looks so that no one could doubt him.Fearing about the fate of the girls,he never wanted to do the sin,but he had no option left except to follow their orders.A happy and jovial life was forever lost in the darkness of crime.

[ SOMEWHERE ELSE ]

A girl was standing in a white gown in the fields and was looking here and there and waiting for someone.Suddenly she hears the sound of a horse's galloping sound.The girl excitedly looked at that direction and found a horse as white as milk was galloping towards her.When it approached a bit more near,the girl could notice someone as the rider.The rider's face was more cleared to her when it approached her more.The girl,with a smile on her face said,"My prince charming!"At that moment,water fall over her and she screamed and woke up on the bed.The girl yelled,"Maaamiii!"She wiped her eyes and opened them.She was fully drenched in water and when she opened her eyes,she saw her maternal aunt Savita was standing in front of her.She asked,"Subhe ke nau baj chuke hai aur maharani ki neend abhitak puri nehi hui?"The girl was already enraged due to the breaking of her most beautiful dream,so she got down from the bed and said,"Ek to meri neend kharaab kar di upar se mujhpar hi chilla rahi ho maami?Apni ye kauwe jaisi awaaz se tum na dusro ko daraa sakti ho mujhe nehi.Ye mat bhulo main is ghar ki maalkin hu.Roz main ye sapna dekhti hu aur jab bhi main apne prince charming ka chehra dekhne hi waali hoti hu ke tum mujhe utha deti ho."Savita put down the bucket and said,"O maharani ji apne ye rajkumaaro waale sapne dekhna choro aur haqeeqat ki duniya mein kadam rakhkho.Bohot kaam para hai chal."The girl said,"Ek to meri neend kharaab ki aur mujhse ab kaam karaane ki soch rahi ho?Kyu tumhaari naukraani hu kya?Ye mat bhulo meri or mere bichaare mama ke vajah se tum aur tumhaare nalaayak bachche is ghar mein reh rahe hai."Savita replied,"Bhale hi hum tere ghar mein rehte hai par ye ghar chalta mere pati ke kamaai se hai."The girl made a face and was about to reply her back when the girl's uncle Prakash came to her room and said,"Ab bas bhi karo dono!Subhe huyi nehi ki tum dono ki cheek cheek shuru ho jaati hai.Please ghar mein thori shaanti banaao aur apne apne kaam par jaao."Savita taunted the girl again and left from there.The girl said to Prakash,"Mama aap kitne achche ho pata nehi aap ki kismet mein ye khusat buriya kaise jut gayi.Pata hai aaj bhi main uska chehra nehi dekh paayi."Prakash laughed and replied,"Tu fikar mat kar,dekhna tere sapno ka raajkumar tujhe bohot jald hi milega aur vo tujhe bohot khush rakhkhega aur tera ye mama hai na dhumdhaam se teri shaadi karwaayega."The girl hugged him.

This is,in fact the obvious daily routine of Ananya Rawat.Her parents died in an accident when she was 3 years old and from that moment,her maternal uncle and aunt are her guardian.Ananya's uncle loved her as her daughter but aunt was always angry towards her.Ananya is always a carefree kind of girl and gives a damn to everyone and always protests whenever any injustice happens.Ananya has a very bitter relation with her aunt and both always fights in every issues.She also fights with her cousins..Ananya's father had a garment's shop who is now being taken care by Prakash.She is a typical filmy girl who always dreams of her prince charming and whenever she was about to see his face,her dream is broken which always makes her very upset.

[ MUMBAI ]

In the evening,Akash reached the airport to board his flight for Shimla.After completing all the formalities,when he was waiting in the lounge for the flight announcement.He took out the photo of his family and said,"Main jaanta hu ye paap hai par ye meri pehli zimmedaari hai ke main apni family ko protect karu aur jo main hamesha karunga,chahe mujhe iske liye koi bhi keemat kyu na chukaani pare."The flight was announced and he put the photo inside his bag.He then looked into his mobile at the photo of his target.He said,"Main jaanta kal ke baad se tum apne har ek din ko kosogi aur mujhe bhi,par Iam helpless.I have to..."He took a deep breath and said,"I have to...I have to take you to hell."He put the mobile inside his pocket and walked towards his flight.

[ ANANYA'S PLACE ]

Prakash returned from shop after closing it at night.Savita gave her a cup of tea and then taunted Ananya,"Ek to ghar mein bojh ke tarah bethi hui hai aur upar se koi kaam bhi nehi karti hai tu.Main teri naukraani nehi hu."Ananya replied,"Tumhe meri fikar karne ki koi zarurat nehi hai aur daro mat,main ab yaha rahungi bhi nehi.Mama maine jo vo job ke liye apply kiya tha na,vo mujhe mil gayi hai Mumbai mein.Unhone kaha hai ke main larki hu na to isliye mujhe waha le jaane ke liye vo kisiko bhejenge aur vo kal taka a jaayega,appointment letter aur meri tickets ke saath."Prakash asked,"Mumbai???Itni dur chali jaayegi???Kaise rahegi tu waha?"Ananya replied,"Daro mat na mama,mere rehne ka intezaam bhi mere officewaale hi karenge."Ananya then said to Savita,"Suno mami,main ek do din mein chali jaaungi to iska matlab ye nehi hai ke tum mere mama aur is ghar mein apni manmaani karohi.Kahi agar mujhe tumhaari ek bhi shikaayat mili na to dekh lena."Saying Ananya left from there.

CHAPTER - 2

Next day,in the morning,Ananya was packing her bag.Her maternal aunt was busy in the kitchen making breakfast for all.Prakash came inside the kitchen and found Savita busy but secretly shedding her tears.Prakash went near her and asked,"Kya hua hai tumhe?Kyu ro rahi ho?"Savita didn't reply to him and continued doing her work.He again asked,"Hua kya hai bataaogi bhi??Kya Ananya ne phir se kuch kaha?"She nodded her head.He asked,"To phir kyu ro rahi ho?"She replied,"Kuch nehi hua hai mujhe,aap yaha se jaaiye."Prakash said,"Muh utra hua hai aur bolti ho ke kuch nehi hua hai.Tum kahogi aur main maan lunga.Kyu hai na?Sach sach bolo."Savita replied,"Muh utra hua hai mera aapko aisa lagta hai?Aapko is baat ka koi ehsaas bhi hai ke ek jawaan larki akele itne dur ja rahi hai aur aajkal ka zamaana kitna kharaab hai,kuch bhi ho sakta hai uske saath aur aap bina kuch soche samjhe aise hi usko bhej rahe hai."She rests herself from whatever he is doing and said,"Main maanti hu hum dono ki banti nehi hai,par main uski dushman nehi hu.Itne saal humne paala hai usko.Hum to sadak par aa chuke the par Ananya ki ma ne hume rehne ke liye ghar diya.Didi ka ye ehsaan main marker bhi nehi chuka sakti.Aaj unke aur bhaisaab ke vajah se hi to hamaare bachcho ko ek achchi zindagi mil rahi hai.Main jaanbujhkar Ananya ko aise hi kisi anjaan jagah par jaane ki ijaazar nehi dungi,hargiz nehi aur agar jaana hi hai to shaadi ke baad apne pati ke saath jaayegi.Usko naukri karne ka itna shaukh hai,to yehi kare,bahaar jaane ki kya zarurat hai."Prakash replied,"Aajkal bohot sari larkiya bahaar jaakar kaam kar rahi hai,ye koi nayi baat nehi hai aur Ananya apne is nayi job ko lekar bohot khush bhi hai.Usko waha rehne ke liye ghar bhi milega aur bohot achchi salary bhi."Savita wanted to protest,but Prakash disarmed her saying,"Nehi Savita usey kuch mat bolo,please.Usey jo karna hai karne do.Mujhe uspar pura bharosa hai."Savita replied,"Mujhe bhi hai par mujhe bahaar ki duniya par bharosa nehi hai."Saying she left from there.

Ananya was packing her bag when,someone rang the calling bell.She asked Savita to open the door,but as she was very busy she could not and so Ananya went to open the door.The moment she opene the door,her eyes as well as mouth got jammed on seeing the person.It was Akash.Ananya kept on staring at him especially in his eyes.She had a smile on her face.Akash looked here and there and was a bit awkward.He waved his hand in front of her face and asked,"Excuse me???"Ananya,in an illusioned state asked,"Hmmm???"He asked,"Aap Miss Ananya Rawat hai na?"Ananya nodded her head and replied,"Nehi Simran."Akash looked at her like a dumbo and asked,"Par...photo mein to aap hi hai...Well main..."Ananya replied,"Raj...Tum Raj ho na..Mere Raj..Mere DDLJ waala Raj...Main to tumhe jaanti hu,aakhir roz sapne mein main tumhe dekhti jo thi."Akash was now simply confused,whether he had the correct address or not.He clapped in front of her face and brought Ananya back to her senses.Ananya woke up from her dreams and asked,"Ha...Ji...Kuch kaha aapne?"Akash asked,"Ji aap Ananya Rawat hai na?"Ananya replied,"Ha main hi hu."Akash replied,"Mera naam Akash Saluja hai.Main aapke company se aaya hu.Mujhe yaha bheja gaya hai aapko lene ke liye."Ananya gave a big smile and suddenly she pulled his cheeks so hard that Akash almost screamed and yelled,"Miss Rawat ye aap kya kar rahi hai?"She replied,"Haaye..KItne cute bande ho tum.Main to tumhaare saath Mumbai choro kahi bhi chalne ko tayyar hu,jaha chahe le chalo.Ab jaakar mujhe samajh mein aaya hai ke mujhe ye naukri kyu mili,aakhir mujhe tumse jo milna tha."Akash made a face and asked,"Jiii???"Ananya replied,"Haan ji...Mujhe na tum bare pasand aaye ho.Bilkul mere prince charming jaise ho tum."Akash was irritated and he said,"Dekhiye main yahapar ek kaam se aaya hu,aap please...Aaj sham ko hamaari flight hai,so aap saari tayyari please jaldi khatam kar lijiye,hume thori hi der mein nikalna hoga kyuki yaha se airport bohot dur hai."Ananya said,"Arey re itna bharakte kyu ho??Main to mazaak kar rahi thi."She called her maternal parents and informed them that they had to leave right now.Prakash was surprised and asked,"Abhi??Abhi to matlab..."Savita replied,"Itni jaldi hum log aise apni larki ko..."Akash replied,"Aap fikar mat kijiye,unlogo ne mujhe bheja hai inhe lene ke liye."Prakash asked,"Par koi company kabhi apni nayi employee ko lene ke liye is tarah se kisiko bhejte nehi hai."Akash instantly framed an answer and replied,"Ye hamaari company ki nayi policy hai,hum apni female employees ka khaas khayal rakhte hai."Prakash said,"Tab to achchi baat hai.Thik hai.Ananya beta chal tu ja aur jaakar tayyar ho ja."Ananya left from there to her room.She completed her packing and came out being ready and with her luggage.Ananya took Prakash's and Savita's blessings and then said to Prakash,"Mamaji,apna khayaal rakhna aur davaayi time par lena aur ha agar ye jhagraalu maami,zyaada tang kare na to mujhe phone karna ya inko ghar se nikaal dena."She then said to Savita,"Maami,mere ghar ka aur sabka khayaal rakhna aur ha ab zyaada nakhre bhi mat dikhaana."Savita handed her a box of food and said,"Ye raaste ke liye kha lena.Mujhe pata hai didi jaise itne achche to nehi bane honge,par koshish ki hai."She had tears in her eyes.She said,"Achcha hua jo tu ja rahi hai,ab mujhe pareshaan karne waala koi nehi rahega.Ab is ghar mein yu roz roz ki chillam chilli bhi nehi hogi.Sab kuch thik hoga."She turned her face and said,"Ab mera waqt bhi nehi katega.Main abse tujhe neend se uthaane bhi nehi aaungi.Ab to tu bohot khush hogi na."Ananya hugged Savita from the back and said,"Mujhe pata hai maami aap mujhse bohot pyar karti hai,isliye main bhi jaanbujhkar aapse larti thi."Savita turned and kissed on her head and they hugged.She said,"Apna khayaal rakhna aur time par khaana khaana aur sona."Ananya nodded her head.Akash was watching the scene with a heavy heart.He said,in his mind,"Bhagwaan mujhe is gunaah ke liye kabhi maaf nehi karega.Main aaj ek larki ko uske gharwaalo se hamesha hamesha ke liye dur kar raha hu.Iam so so so sorry for everything."She was bid an emotional goodbye and then both Ananya and Akash left from there.

A taxi was waiting outside and Akash put Ananya's luggage inside the taxi and Ananya sat inside.Akash asked the driver to move and Ananya waved her hands towards her family and the taxi drove away.While,on the way,Ananya was weeping,but Akash did not turn towards her in order to make himself strong and not to move away from his determination.After sometime,Ananya became normal and stopped crying.She said,"Pata hai,aaj pehli baar main ghar se bahaar ja rahi hu aur vo bhi akele,mujhe bilkul achcha nehi lag raha hai.Par kar bhi kya sakte hai mujhe job bhi to karni paregi na."Akash didn't reply.She continued,"Mere ma papa ki ek accident mein hi death ho gayi thi,tab main bilkul dudh peeti bachchi thi,tabse mere mama mami ne hi mujhe paala hai.You know,maami ke saath mera bohot jhagra hota hai par vo mujhse bohot pyar bhi karti hai.Meri life mein na..."She started gossiping all sorts of nonsense with Akash,but he was not paying any heed to her and was lost in his own thinkngs about his future.After 2 hours,of constant driving,the taxi stopped in front of a Punjabi dhaba,Akash and Ananya came out of the car to have lunch.Ananya screamed,"Dhaba!!!You know I love dhaba!!!"Ananya screamed so loudly that all the customers in the dhaba looked at her with a jerk.Akash made an irritating face.She said,"Chalo khaate hai,mujhe to dhaba dekh kar hi bohot zoro ki bhukh lag gayi hai."Saying she went inside and ordered food.He,said in his mind,"Oh God!Itna bolti hai ye larki.Kahi dimaag ka pech to nehi dheela hai na is larki ka.?Kaisi larki ko laane ke liye mujhe bhej diya."Akash too ordered his lunch and sat on a bench alongwith Ananya.Ananya was fully enjoying her lunch and then said,"Punjabi khaane kin a baat hi kuch aur hoti hai,the best food in the whole world."Akash didn't reply.Ananya asked,"Tum kuch bolte kyu nehi?"He replied,"Khaate time baat nehi karni chahiye."Ananya smiled and said,"How sweet!Thik hai nehi karte."After having their lunch,Akash paid the bill and when he was about to return to the car,Ananya asked,"Tumne mere khaane ke paise kyu diye?"Akash gave a stern reply,"Ye mera kaam hai.Mujhe isi ke paise milte hai.Main apne saare expenses,company mein se lunga.Abhi chale?Bohot lamba rasta hai."Ananya,like an obedient student got inside the car and Akash gave a sigh and said,in his mind,"Aaj to ye larki mujhe paagal karke choregi."He too sat inside and resumed the journey.

After 3 hours,they reached the airport.Akash just turned to call Ananya that they reached,he stopped on seeing the cutest scene of the world.Ananya was sleeping putting her head on Akash's shoulder.Her hairs were falling on her face which made her look more beautiful.He didn't want to disturb her,as she was in a deep sleep.A smirk formed on his lips and he slowly removed the hair from her face.He then shook Ananya and she woke up.She asked,"Pohoch gaye kya?"He nodded her head.While she was sleeping,he was adoring her innosence,but the moment she was awake,he became stern as before.They came out of the car and after taking their luggage,they both went inside the airport.After getting the boarding passes,Akash gave one to Ananya and sat on a chair beside her.She looked at him and said,"Jabse hum miley hai,tabse main akeli hi baat kiye ja rahi hu,tum to kuch bol hi nehi rahe ho.Agar kuch puchti hu to sirf ha ya nay a sar hilaakar jawaab dete ho.Ye bhi koi baat hui bhala?Koi aadmi itna chupchap kaise reh sakta hai?Mujhe dekho main to bina bak bak kiye reh hi nehi sakti.Shimla mein sab yehi kehte hai ke main bohot bolti hu,mujhe bhi pata hai,kamsekam mujhme ye ek khubi to hai,tumme to ye bhi nehi hai."Akash was getting irritated.In order to avoid her,he asked,"Coffee peeyengi?"Ananya replied,"Tum peelaaoge na to main to zeher bhi pee lungi."Akash nodded his head disappointedly and left from there.Ananya looked at him making a face and said,"Ek itni khubsurat larki iske saath ja rahi hai,baat to dur,ghumkar dekhta tak nehi hai mujhe.Huh!Khadoos kahika!"Akash returned with two cups of coffee.He gave one cup to her and sipped in another cup.He took out his wallet and looked at the photo of his Suhaani."Tumhaari girlfriend bhi hai???"Ananya screamed while peeping at the photo.Akash immediately put the wallet inside his back pocket and said,"Ye meri behen hai."Ananya was very happy,on hearing this and said,"Ooo chalo ye to aur bhi achchi baat hai.Maine to socha tumhaari girlfriend hai kyuki wallet mein girlfriend ki hi tasveer hoti hai na.Achcha hai matlab mera rasta saaf hai.Ab main aaraam se tumpar line maar sakti hu."Akash looked at her very strangely and unintentionally,he blurred out,"Aap paagal hai kya?Dimaag kharaab hai aapka?"Ananya replied,"Vo tum jo chahe soch sakte ho,par frankly bolu,mujhe tum khadoos bhi achche lagte ho.You look very cute jab tumhe gussa aata hai.Abhi bhi bilkul sweetheart lag rahe ho."Akash angrily said,"Please aap mujhe irritate karna bandh kijiye.Mujhe ye sab bilkul bhi pasand nehi hai."Ananya said,"To promise karo ke tum hamesha mere saath rahoge to main tumhe bilkul bhi irritate nehi karungi."Akash got up from his seat and said,"Its useless talking with you.Jo marzi mein aaye karo."He was about to leave,when Ananya grabbed his hand from back and asked,"Sach mein karu?"Without waiting for his answer,Ananya kissed on Akash's cheek and gave a huge smile.Akash made a fist in order to control his anger and was about to say something to her,when there was the flight announcement.Akash grinned,"Chalo!"He grabbed her hand and started pulling her,but Ananya still had a smile on her lips.She said,"Aye haaye,maine to bas izhaar kiya aur tum abhise hi is tarah se itne haq se mera haath pakar rahe ho,aisa lagta hai jaise aaj hi shaadi karne ka iraada hai.Kyu?"Akash raised his finger on her face and said,"Ek baar tumhe tumhaare companywaalo ke paas pohcha du to ganga nahaaunga main."Ananya replied,"Dont worry main tumhaara peecha itni asaani se nehi chorne waali."Saying she grabbed his arms like a wife and started walking with him.

Ananya and Akash boarded towards the flight,without knowing what was future having in store for them,except Akash who had the probable knowledge of Ananya's future.But as its said,that except God,no one can know about the future,so was going to happen with them.They didn't have the idea that both of them were going to change each other's destiny forever since true love has the strength to even fight with all odds and even death.

CHAPTER - 3

The flight landed in Mumbai on the fixed time at night.As usual,during the whole journey,Ananya irritated Akash to the core and God and only he knew how he controlled his nerves,just for the sake of his family.After coming inside the airport,Ananya exclaimed,"Haaayeee!Kitnaaa baraaa airport haiii!Iam sure Mumbai isse bhi bohooot baraaa hoga,hai na?"The way and in the voice in which she exclaimed,those who were standing nearby looked at her with a jerk and kept on staring at her.Akash looked at her and then towards the other with frightened and embarrassed looks in his face and with a silly short smile on his lips.He grinned,"Shut up Ananya!Sab dekh rahe hai tumhe.Behave yourself!"But Ananya was not at all bothered about all these things.In the usual loud voice,Ananya replied,"To???Tumhe pata hai main apne sheher ki Miss India hu.Moholle ke saare larke mere taraf yu aakhe phaar phaar ke dekhte hai.Aakhir main hu hi itni khubsurat to isme meri to koi galti nehi hai."Akash replied,"Ye tumhaara moholla nehi hai,Mumbai hai Mumbai.Yaha tum apne sheher jaise bartaav nehi kar sakti ho,yaha bohot chaukanna rehna parta hai,varna musibat mein par jaaogi."By that time,Akash claimed their luggage and was pushing the trolley.Ananya again came very close to him and grabbed his arm and said,"To kya hua,tum ho na mere liye,mujhe sambhaalne ke liye,my super hero.Jab tumhe maine dekha tha na,tabhi mujhe lag gaya tha ke hum dono ka saath bohot dur tak jaayega,ya phir ye bhi ho sakta hai ke hamesha ka ho.You never know."Akash,in his mind said,"Oh God!Pata nehi kis paagal se paala para hai."He came outside and called for the taxi and said,"Abhi jabtak tumhaare companywaale tickets nehi bhejenge,tabtak hum mere apartment mein rahenge."Ananya blushed and said,"Haaye tum mujhe apne ghar mein rakh kar feel at home karaana chahte ho.Vaise sahi bhi hai,thora thora karke aadat bhi ho jaayegi,after all,ek din hamesha ke liye yehi to aana hai."They entered inside the taxi and Ananya continued her rubbish talks.At one point of time,Akash was so fed-up with her that,he made a fist and said,"You know what Ananya,agar tumhaare companywaalo se order nehi milta tumhe unhe sahi salaamat saupne ko,I swear,main tumhe flight ke darwaaze mein se hi bahaar dhakka maar deta."Ananya,for a single moment,even didn't feel sad.She said,"Isme bhi nuksaan tumhaara hi hai.Socho abhi main tumhaare ghar jaaungi to tumhaara,tumhaare ghar ka,tumhaare khaane peene ka dhyaan kaun rakkhega?Main.Ab agar mujhe kuch ho gaya,to ye saare kaam tumhe hi to karne parenge na.Socho.Socho."She looked outside the window and said,"Socho na,tum kaam par jaaoge,aur main khaana banaakar tumhaara intezaar karungi.Tum aaoge aur hum dono saath mein milkar khaayenge.Ek nivaala main tumhe khilaaungi,ek nivaala tum mujhe khilaana.Achcha hai na?"Akash asked,"Kis paagal khaane se le aaye hai tumhaare gharwaale tumhe?"Ananya giggled and replied,"Tum chahe mujhe kuch bhi bulaalo,paagal,sanki,daayan,churail,tumhaare muh se sab mujhe meetha hi lagta hai aur jaha se mujhe mere ma baap laaye the na us paagalkhaane ko MATERNITY NURSING HOME kehte hai."Soon Akash and Ananya reached Akash's apartment.

While they were walking inside,Ananya noticed that the building in which Rishi's apartment was situated,was a very lonely place.On seeing this,Ananya asked,"Is purey building mein tum akele rehte ho kya?Bohot sannaata hai na?"Akash had a goosebump inside his heart on hearing the question.He replied,"Mujhe...Mujhe zyaada shor sharaaba pasand nehi hai isliye."Ananya asked,"Mera ek aur sawaal hai.Kya company waale female staffs ko thehraane ke liye dusre staffs ke ghar ka istemaal hi karte hai,hotel ka intezaam nehi karte?"Akash's heart was beating very fast and he could easily feel that he was sweating from inside.He thought for sometime and found out an appropriate answer.He said,"Uh...uh...vo...uh...Abhi chuttiyo ka mausam hai na,hotels saare booked hai.Upar se shaadiya bhi hai,to isliye...Yaha koi taklif nehi hogi tumhe,yaha saara bandobast kiya hua hai."Akash looked suspiciously towards Ananya's face ,in order to judge what was actually going on in her mind.She gave a big smile and said,"Tab to aur bhi achcha hai,dekho sab kuch hamaare favour mein hai.Hamesha company waale hotel book karte hai,abto hotel bhi nehi hai.Bhagwaan bhi yehi chahte hai ke hum dono ek saath rahe,after all hamaari to ram milaayi Jodi hai."Akash gave a sigh of relief from inside and then at the next moment,made an irritating face and asked,"Tum life mein serious kab hoti ho?"Ananya seriously replied,"Hongi na jab hamaare do-teen gol matol bachche ho jaayenge tab.Tab na jab hum dono ki laraai hogi bachcho ka naam lekar,tab main pakka serious ho jaaungi."Akash found it total useless to talk with her and so he brought her inside his apartment.

They entered inside and Akash put Ananya's luggage to a room adjacent to his.Ananya looked through the whole house and then said to him,"Vaise na Akash ghar to hamaara bohot achcha hai,par isko thora thik thak karna zaruri hai.Tab jaakar ye ghar ghar jaisa lagega.Main ab ek kaam karti hu,main na kitchen mein dekh leti hu khaane laayak kya kya hai."Akash said,"Uski koi zarurat nehi hai main bahaar se khaana lekar aata hu,khakar so jaana.Aaj bohot lamba safar tey kiya hai."Ananya made a face and said,"Mere rehte tum bahaar ka khaana khaaoge.Very bad!Main tumhe samaan ka list de deti hu,tum vohi le aao,tabtak main kitchen ki saaf safaai kar dungi."Akash wanted to stop her,but she before he could say anything,went to the kitchen checked everything and quickly made a list of the things for kitchen and handed it over to Akash and said,"Jaldi jaldi jaao aur ye sab lekar aao."She almost pushed Akash out of his apartment.Akash returned almost one hour later with bags.Ananya,by that time,cleaned the kitchen,cleaned the floors of all the rooms and took shower.Akash put the things on the table and said,"Ananya main le aaya sab kuch aur ye lo yahake liye naya sim,tum chaho to apne mama aur mami se baat karlo.Ananya tum-"His voice died in his throat when Ananya came out of the kitchen bare footed with her dupatta tied around her waist and her wet hair kept lovingly and with care on the right side of her shoulder and the long and silky hair were resting with proud upto her waist.Akash could not take his eyes off her.All the way from Shimla to his apartment in Mumbai,Akash didn't look properly or with all his mind towards Ananya,partly due to the scare of her beautiful eyes,which may compel him to fall in love with her and partly due to the contract of not having any emotional or physical attachments with the targets.But this time,on seeing the total earthly beauty and the goddess of innocent beauty in front of him,he forgot every other thing outside his contract and and family.He kept on staring at her enjoying her innocent looks on her eyes,a smile of faith in her lips,a physical attraction in her whole body.With Ananya's words,he came back to his senses.Ananya called him and said,"Dekha tumhaara aur mere dil ka connection kitna strong hai,maine bas socha tha ke mama aur mami se baat karlu aur dekho tum mere liye ek naya sim bhi lekar aaye.Achcha chalo ab tum jaakar fresh ho jaao,main tumhaare liye khaana bana deti hu."Akash asked,"Tumhe nehi lagta ke tum kuch zyaada hi meri biwi jaisa bartaav kar rahi ho?"Ananya replied,"Practice makes a person perfect.Abhi se practice karungi tabhi to ek achchi biwi banungi na tumhaari."Saying she left for the kitchen.Akash went to his bedroom and called someone and informed him about Ananya's arrival.He went to take a shower.Inside the washroom,Akash opened the shower and stood under it and with each drop of it,his tiredness and everything was washing away.Everytime,when he used to bring his targets,he never used to think about them,but that was for the first time,in his life,he could not stop but thinking about Ananya,in reality cursing her.He said,"Bhagwaan jaane kis mitti se bani hui hai ye larki.Itna pakau hai,itni chipku hai ke vo log khud usey waapas ghar chor aayenge.By God kya larki hai.Uff!!"He completed his shower and came outside his washroom.He put on his trousers and was about to wear his vest,when Ananya called him.He came outside,bare bodied and went to the kitchen and found Ananya was struggling to reach to the uppermost shelve but her hand was not reaching there.Akash,on seeing her asked,"Kya hua kyu bulaaya aur ye sab kya kar rahi ho?"She replied,"Akash please meri madat kardo,ye aate ki burney utaarni hai."Akash nodded his head in disappointment and then walked towards her.He lifted her up by her waist and she put down the bottle.While putting her down,Ananya,for a second falls on his chest.Her bare shoulder got the touch of his wet still warm chest,a first body contact.A sudden sensation of current is felt by both.Akash's breath was falling on her shoulders,which was tickling her and her a few strands of hair were disturbing his sight.Akash was standing holding her arms and he felt as if his hands were full of butter.Ananya turned her head slowly towards back and looked intensely to his eyes and both had an eye-lock.After a few seconds,Akash came to his senses and almost ran to his room.Ananya disappointedly looked towards his ways and said,"Haaye kitna romantic scene tha!Bhaag gaya!Koi larka bhi itna sharmaata hai kya?Hey bhagwaan kya pata shaadi ke time par,ye dulhan aur main dulhe ke libaaz mein rahungi aur suhaagraat ko iske bajaaye main iska ghunghat uthaaungi.Bhagwaanji,mere honewaale inko na please thora romantic bana do.Huh sadu kahika!"She joined her hands and prayed to God.

At dinner time,Akash came to have his dinner.He was so hungry that he didn't wait to let Ananya serve him food and served it himself and started eating.Ananya,on seeing his condition asked,"Kitne saalo se nehi khaaya hai tumne Akash??"Akash drank some water and replied,"Kahi mahino se dhang ka khaana hi nehi khaaya.Pehle ma hoti thi to aise hi saamne bitha kar khilaati thi aur main pet bharkar khaata tha."She asked,"To ab vo kaha hai?"Akash stopped eating for a second and then suddenly became very conscious and replied,"Vo...vo...vo sab dusre sheher mein rehte hai."She said,"O achcha!To thik hai na tum khaana khao,ekdam pet bharkar khaao,maine dher saari banaayi hai.Tumhaari shakal dekh kar hi lagta tha,akele rehte ho,to khaane peene ka dhyaan rakhne waala bhi koi nehi hoga na.Isliye abse tum bilkul fikar mat karo,abse tum bhar pet khaana."He asked,"Tum nehi khaaogi?"She replied,"Ha abhi khaati hu."Saying she served food in her dish and they both finished their dinner.After finishing dinner,he asked,"Tumne ghar mein baat ki?"Ananya nodded his head and then he said,"Chalo,ye dekh kar mujhe bohot achcha laga ke kamsekam khaane ke waqt tumhaara muh bandh rehta hai."Ananya replied,"Nehi main khaate time baat nehi karti.Vaise tumhe agar mera baat karna itna pasand hai,to main abse khaate time bhi karungi."Akash almost screamed,"Neeehiii!"Ananya laughed out loudly.She was just not laughing but it appeared to Akash that someone was playing jaltarang and Akash had a light smirk on his lips.

While they both were asleep in their bedroom,Akash while lying down in his bed said,in his mind,"Purey safar se zyaada to is larki ki baato ne mujhe aur bhi zyaada thakaa diya hai.Par aaj un kuch mahino mein pehli baar,mujhe apne parivaar ke baare mein sochne ka mauka hi nehi diya usne."He sadly laughed in his mind and said,"Ek maasoom zinda dil larki,pata nehi iski ye maasumiyat kabtak rahegi.Isko to is baat ka ehsaas hi nehi hai ke uski yehi muskuraahat,usse hamesha hamesha ke liye cheenne waali hai.Ek din yehi hasi,uske liye ajnabee ban jaayegi."He took a deep breath and said,"Iam sorry Ananya!Iam so sorry!"Saying he closed his eyes,trying to make a failed attempt to sleep.

CHAPTER - 4

Next day,in the morning,Akash was busy in the kitchen making coffee for him and Ananya while Ananya was sad and sitting idly on the sofa looking outside the window.He handed her over a cup of coffee and mockingly asked,"To tum chupchap bhi beth sakti ho?"Ananya looked at him and asked,"To main udaas nehi ho sakti kya?"Akash understood and replied,"Ghar ki yaad aa rahi hai na??Pehle pehle aisa hota hai,baad mein aadat par jaati hai aur phone par to tumhaari usne baat hoti rahegi na phir kyu tension leti ho?It'll be alright."Ananya said,"Arey nehi baba,main uske liye udaas nehi hu.Main ek aur cheez ke liye hi upset hu."Akash gave her a what' look and sat beside her.She replied,"Arey naye office kaam karne ja rahi hu par mere paas ek bhi achche kapre nehi hai.Ye puraane suits pehenkar thore hi na koi naye office jaata hai.Isliye Iam sad."Akash raised his brows and said,"Oh!Ye baat hai.Okay to chalo,aaj tumhaari shopping kara deta hu."Ananya looked at him showing all her teeth and raised brows just like a baby girl who becomes very happy on seeing her favourate doll.She screamed,"Sachchchiii!!!Haaye Akash isiliye main tumse itna pyar karti hu."It was now Akash's opportunity to scream.He screamed,"What???"She replied,"Ha mujhe to tumse pehli nazar mein pyar ho gaya tha.You know tum mere Raj ho aur main tumhaari Simran."He made a weired face and asked,"Ye kya hai?I mean...uh...who's Raj and Simran???"Ananya opened her mouth in such a way,that one can clearly see through her tongue and screamed,"Tumne DDLJ nehi dekha Akash???Hawww!!DDLJ,Raj aur Simran dunia ki best love story hai vo,jaha hero heroine ko lene saat samundar paar se aata hai aur at last usey le hi jaata hai.Agar DDLJ hi nehi dekha to kya dekha tumne.Tumhe pata hai,maine na vo film 125 baar dekhi hai aur tabhi se sapna dekh rahi thi ke mujhe lene mera Raj aayega aur jab maine tumhe pehli baar darwaaze par dekha na,to mujhe tumme apna Raj dikha aur tabhi se mujhe tumse pyar ho gaya."Akash stared at her for some time giving her a Are-you-crazy' look and then murmered,"Leave it!Baat bara kar koi faayda nehi hai."He then said,"Uh Ananya chalo aaj main tumhe Mumbai darshan karata hu aur shopping bhi karaaunga.Jaao jaakar tayyar ho jaao."Ananya jumped down from the sofa and said,"Main abhi aati hu."Ananya went inside to get ready.

Within one hour,both got ready.While Akash was taking the shower,Ananya made the breakfast.They finished their breakfast and went out for the tour.Akash took her to all the tourist places.They also visited some temples where Ananya prayed for quite a long time.While coming out of the last temple,Akash asked,"Har mandir mein itna time lagaakar,kya maang rahi thi?"Ananya,while putting on her sandals outside,replied,"Maangi hui dua jabtak puri nehi hoti tabtak kisise ye baat nehi share karni chahiye."Akash shook his shoulder and said,"Ok."Ananya grabbed his hand and said,"Par tumhe bata sakti hu,kyuki I love you na.Maine ye maanga ke mere ghar mein sab thik ho aur tumhe na jaldi se mera pati bana de aur hamaare jitney bhi bachche ho sab tumhaare tarah dikhne mein ho.Achcha ye to bolo ke tumne kya maanga?"He replied,"Mujhe jald se jald tumse chutkaara miley."Ananya gave an ignoring look and said,"Huh!Aisa ho hi nehi sakta.Ye dua tumhaari kabhi nehi maani jaayegi,dekh lena.Mujhe to tumse dur koi nehi kar sakta aur agar main tumse dur ho bhi gayi to tum khud aaoge mere peeche bhage bhaage,dekh lena."Akash chuckled mockingly and said,"Chalo tumhaari shopping karaata hu."Ananya said,"Nehiii!!!Pehle lunch mujhe bohot bhukh lagi hai."Akash took her to a nearby restaurant where she ordered 4-5 kinds of dishes.Akash was watching her ways and asked,"Itna sab kuch tum akele khaaogi?"Ananya replied,"Ha aur tumse thora share karungi.Don't worry.Mujhe har kisam ka khaana bohot achcha lagta hai."The order was served after sometime and they completed their lunch,thought it was not necessary to mention that maximum of them was consumed by Ananya.

When they reached the shopping mall,Ananya was so scared to see the crowd that she warned Akash not to leave her hand.She dragged him towards a store where a statue was put out with a dress on it.It was a satin dress upto a few inches above the knee and two strings on both the shoulders.Ananya was very mesmerized to see the dress especially,its bright colour.She bent down to inspect the dress and said to Akash,"Tumhe pata hai,hamesha na TV par dekhti thi main aise kapre heroines ko pehente huye.Main ek le lu."Akash gave a look to the dress and said,"Ye tumhe suit nehi karega Ananya.Ye tumhaare type ka nehi hai."Ananya became very angry and asked,"Kya matlab hai tumhaara ke ye mere type ka nehi hai?Tumhe kya lagta hai,ye kapre main pehen nehi sakti?"Akash replied,"No not that...I mean..."She didn't give him the opportunity to speak and frowned inside and said to the sales girl,"Excuse me,vo jo bahaar aapne us putle ko pehna rakkha hai na,mujhe vohi dress chahiye."The sales girl gave a look to her from top to bottom and said,"But mam...aapko vo dress..."Ananya said,"Mujhe vohi dress chahiye."The salesgirl showed her the same piece from inside and gave it to her and said,"Aap trial room mein jaakar ek baar try kar lijiye fittings ke liye."Ananya took the dress and turned towards Akash and gave him a mocking look and went inside the trial room.Akash was waiting outside for her,when he found the door of the trial room opened and from inside it,Ananya came out making a sad and a puppy face.She walked sadly towards the salesgirl and said,"Ye lijiye aapka dress mujhe bilkul achcha nehi laga,itna chota hai,mere 5 saal ke umar ke kapro ki height jaisi.Ye to bachcho ke kapre hai."She angrily left the store and came to Akash.He asked,"Kya hua Ananya tumne vo dress kharidi nehi?"Ananya,made a puppy face and replied,"Vo itti choti si thi.Itna chota kapra koi pehenta hai kya?Puri taange dikhti hai chee!Heroine ke tarah mujhe agar koi paise bhi de na tab bhi main aise kapre nehi pehnungi."Akash replied,"Maine to tumse pehle hi kaha tha ke ye kapre tumhaare type ke nehi hai."Ananya gave a huge smile and said,"Dekho do din bhi nehi huye hume ek saath rahe aur tum mujhe kitni achchi tarah se jaan chuke ho.Dekho ab to bhagwaan bhi kitne saare signals de rahe hai,par tum ho ke samajhte hi nehi ho.Kharoos kahike!"At that time,Akash received a message on his phone.He checked it and became tensed and confused.He said,to himself,"Aisa kaise ho sakta hai?Ye to mera kaam nehi tha aur unhone to kaha tha..."Ananya asked,"Kya bol rahe ho Akash?"Akash was lost in his own thoughts and was startled to hear Ananya and said,"Ne-nehi-nehi kuch nehi hua hai,vo uh...jo tumhaare company waale log hai na,jo tumhe lene aane waale the,vo kisi vajah se nehi aa pa rahe hai,to unhone kaha ke main tumhe lekar chalu."Ananya asked,"Kaha jaana hai hume?"Akash,said in his mind,"Mumbai ka keh kar to isey yaha tak lekar aaya tha.Kaise samjhaau usko ke usey yaha nehi US jaana parega.Aajtak mera kaam tha bas yaha tak pohchaana ab aagey isey kaise lekar jaau?Kya bolu main isko?Oh God!Ek to vaise bhi itne saare musibato se jujh raha hu,upar se ek aur.Pata nehi kis janam ke karmo ki sazaa mil rahi hai mujhe.Jahannum se bhi battar zindagi banakar rakkhi hui hai meri tab bhi inko chain nehi parta."Ananya shook his hand and asked,"Akash kya sochne beth jaate ho?Tumne bola nehi hum kaha jaane waale hai?"Akash replied,"Uh-vo-main...vo-main...vo yehi puchne waala tha.Tum yehi thehro,yaha se kahi mat jaana.Main ek call karke aata hu.Tum yaha se hilna bhi mat.Ok."Ananya confusingly replied,"Ok."Akash went to a corner and called someone.The convo :-

A :- "Is message ka kya matlab hua?"

U :- "Jo tune dekha vohi matlab hai iska."

A :- "Vo main bhi janna chahta hu ke main usko US kyu lekar jaau?Ye kaam to tum logo ka hai."

U :- "Hamaare ek adde se larki bhaag gayi hai.Sab usey hi dhundhne mein busy hai,isiliye tujhe ye kaam saupa hai.Ab agar apne parivaar ki salaamati chahta hai,to jaisa kaha gaya hai vaisa kar."

Akash closed his eyes out of disgust.

A :- "Mere upar paap ka bojh aur kitna baraaoge?Achcha bolo kab nikalna hai?"

U :- "Aaj raat ko."

Akash was stunned.

A :- (screamed) "What???"

U :- "Ha aaj raat ki flight hai 11 baje.Airport 3 ghante pehle pohoch jaane,vaha hamaara aadmi hoga tum logo ka passport,visa aur tickets sab kuch lekar."

A :- "Par itni jaldi...Mera matlab hai ke main usko kya bolunga?"

U :- "Vo tera problem hai.Agar yaha tu chooka,to waha..."

A :- "Thik hai."

Akash started thinking what to say to Ananya.He walked and walked here and there,bit his nails and did everything to reduce his tension and suddenly his eyes flashed with excitement.He said,"Ye idea achcha hai.Iam sure ye kaam karega aur Ananya maan jaayegi."He immediately went to Ananya and found her still standing at the same place.On seeing her,Ananya asked,"Kitna time laga diya tumne?Ab bolo?"Akash,with lots of fake excitement in his face,said,"Pata hai Ananya,tumhaare liye ek bohot bari good news hai."Ananya asked,"Kya?"He replied,"Vo jab tumne job ke liye vo photos bheje the yaad hai,vo saare photos unhe itne pasand aaye,itne pasand aaye ke main kya bolu,unhone tumhaare fashion sense ki bohot taarif ki hai.Tabhi to unhone tumhe apne fashion magazine ke section ko sambhaalne ke liye chuna hai aur tumhe pata hai vo US ki best fashion magazine hai."On hearing about,fashion magazine and all,Ananya already reached her dreamland,but on hearing the name of US,her dreamland broke and she stopped Akash and asked,"Kya???US???Itni dur???Par..."Akash replied,"Par var kuch nehi.Arey aisa mauka Ananya har kisiko nehi milta hai aur har roz bhi nehi milta hai."Ananya thought about it for a moment and then half-mindedly said,"Ok.Main mama mami ko phone karke bol deti hu."Akash immediately stopped her from doing so and said,"Vo...uh...Ananya,hume...uh aaj hi raat ko nikalna hai."Ananya screamed,"Kya???"He nodded his head and said,"Ha aaj hi nikalna hai,raat 11 baje ki flight hai aur hume airport 3 ghante pehle pohochna hai.Waha hume tickets,boarding pass,visa sab mil jaayega aur tum apne ghar mein waha pohochne ke baad jab calling card lenge tab phone kar lena.Abhi bilkul bhi time nehi hai.Chalo chalo chalo,tumhaare liye 3-4 achche suits lene hai,phir ghar jaakar packing karni hai aur phir airport jaana hai."Ananya said,"Arey Akash suno to..."Akash didn't give her any opportunity to speak,dragged her to some section,purchased 3-4 suits for her and quickly returned home within one hour.Akash,in his heart knew,that whatever he was doing was the hedious crime of all,but he can't help it except to do that and deliberately was pushing Ananya into that deadly world,he was throwing Ananya to hell.He was dying each and every second inside him.

After reaching the airport,Ananya said,"Pata hai Akash,sab itna jaldi jaldi ho gaya hai ke mujhe na excited hone ka mauka hi nehi mila."Akash gave a weired smile.They walked towards the airport,when someone called him and asked him to wait for him in front of the Gate No.5.When Akash and Ananya stood there,a man came to them and asked,"Akash Saluja???"Akash nodded his head and Ananya,herself replied,"Aur main honewaali Mrs Akash Saluja."The man handed him over an envelope and said,"Isme sab kuch hai."Akash took it and thanked him and the man left from there.After that,they entered inside the airport through the gate.

CHAPTER - 5

While they were on the flight,Ananya said,"Tumhe pata hai ye mera pehla abroad trip hai.Main aajtak kabhi abroad nehi gayi.Abroad to choro main to aajtak kabhi flight mein bhi nehi bethi.Tum meri zindagi mein kya aaye Akash mere saare armaan purey ho rahe hai."Akash fakely smiled and concentrated on his magazine.In his mind,the storm of guilt which was rising up,only he was able to realize the amount of damage it was causing to him.He never felt so much helpless before,though he delivered 3 girls more to them,but this time,he didn't want to do so.This feeling surrounded his mind even before,but in case of Ananya,the intensity was very strong.While Akash was occupied in his own thoughts,suddenly there was a huge jerk on the plane.Ananya,alongwith many other passengers screamed out in fear.Ananya hugged Akash tightly and cried out,"Akash main marna nehi chahti hu please mujhe bachalo."Akash held her hand and said,"Main tumhaare saath hi hu Ananya,tum daro mat."The crew over intercom requested all the passengers to fasten their seat belts.The flight was still bumping and jerking a bit.Akash looked outside the window and it was all dark and very foggy outside and nothing was clearly visible.After almost 15 minutes of this continuous torture,the pilot announced that due to extreme bad weather,Ananya and Akash's flight had to be landed in Amsterdam and from there,the flight will not continue for US,until and unless the weather is cleared.After sometime,the flight slowly started coming downwards and it touched the ground.Ananya was finally relaxed on realizing that there was no more danger.Akash disappointedly asked,"Oh God ab ye kya ho gaya?"Ananya excitedly said,"Dekho main na tumko bol rahi hu ab tum chahe maano ya na maano,bhagwaan chahte hi ye hai ke main tumhaare saath rahu,tumhaare saath waqt bitaau,varna ek saath itne saare co-incidences na aise hi nehi hote hai."Akash said,"Shut up Ananya!Tumhaari ye gheesi peeti baatein mujhe aajkal bohot irritate kar rahi hai.Ek to yaha Amsterdam mein pata nehi kya karenge,kaha rahenge aur tum ho ki."Ananya replied,"Abhi to tumne kaha ke tum ho mere saath to main kyu daru?Mujhe tumhaare rehte huye kisi se darne ki koi zarurat nehi hai."Akash called the airhostess and asked,"Excuse me for how long we have to stay in here?"The airhostess replied,"Iam sorry sir but we can't say coz for many days,the flights to US are either delayed or cancelled due to bad weather.So we still don't have the confirmation for how long we have to stay."The airhostess left and Akash was devastated.He thought,"Ab kya karunga,kaha jaaunga usey lekar?Rehne ke liye koi jagah bhi to nehi hai yaha."They slowly came down of the flight and all the passengers were ascorted inside the airport.After reaching the airport,Ananya asked,"Ab hum kaha jaayenge?"He replied,"Vohi to nehi pata hai.Mujhe tumhaare companywaalo se baat karni hogi."Akash went to the gent's washroom and called them and told them everything about the present situation.They told him that they will inform him when they'll have arrangements and till then they had to stay in a cheap lodge nearby or in a hotel.Akash came out of the washroom and told Ananya,"Unhone kaha hai ke paas ke kisi hotel ya lodge mein rehne ko.Abhi chalo pehle luggages le lete hai,phir bahaar chalte hai."While they were claiming their luggages,the airport authority announced that the passengers from Mumbai-USA flight who were bound to halt in Amsterdam for bad weather,will be given special preveleges and their fooding and lodging everything will be the flight company's responsibility and all the passengers will be taken to the comapny's appointed hotel for stay.Akash released a breath of relaxation and said,"Thank God!Hume ab kahi aur jaane ki zarurat nehi hai.Flight companywaale hamaare rehne aur khaane ka intezaam kar diya hai."Ananya said,"Achcha hua ab hume bhi koi aur jagah dhundhni nehi paregi.Thank God ab chalo chalte hai."Saying they left for the flight bus to the hotel.

When they reached the hotel,the receptionist gave them a double bedroom thinking them a couple.Akash said,"No please two single rooms.We want separate rooms."The receptionist nodded her head and was about to issue another room,but Ananya said,"No no please give one double room.He is my would-be and we are soon going to be married."The lady smiled at her and Akash looked at Ananya with a jerk and asked,"Ye kya mazaak hai Ananya?"Ananya replied,"To jhut kaunsa kaha?Aaj nehi to kal hum shaadi to kar hi lenge na aur vaise bhi itne bare hotel mein,main akeli ek kamre mein nehi rahungi,mujhe dar lagta hai aur kahi agar maine daraavna sapna dekh liya to??Tab main kya karungi?Isliye main tumhaare saath hi rahungi aur ye mat bhulo ke company waalo ne tumhe mujhe sahi salaamat unke paas bhejne ko bola hai."Akash,for a few seconds forgot his mission,but Ananya's words again reminded him.He took the key and they moved towards their hotel room accompanied by a staff.The staff opened their room and put their luggages on the ground and took leave.It was around 2am in there.Akash ordered some food for them and asked Ananya to get fresh up as they needed some sleep.After taking bath,both consumed the food provided and they went to take some sleep.Akash slept on the couch and Ananya slept on the bed.

It was around 4am,when suddenly Akash screamed aloud,"Suhaani!!!"and woke up on his bed.Ananya too got up and ran to him.She was very tensed on seeing Akash's terrified face.She rubbed her head and asked,"Kya hua Akash chillaaye kyu?"Akash gave a boggled look to Ananya and said,"Meri...Meri Suhaani...Meri Suhaani ko vo log..."He hugged Ananya tightly to cool down his nerves and Ananya continuously patted on his back and said,"Akash kuch nehi hua dekho,vo ek bura sapna dekha hai tumne.Apni aakhe kholo aur dekho main hu tumhaare paas."Akash slowly opened his eyes and looked here and there and found that he was in the hotel room.His heart was still beating very fast due to the impact of that nightmare.After sometime,when his nerves were in his control,he then realized that he was hugging Ananya.He immediately broke the hug and looked away from her and said,"I...Iam...Iam sorry...vo...maine ek sapna dekha...to..."Ananya smiled and replied,"Koi baat nehi,mujhe to bohot achcha laga jo tumne mujhe hug kiya.Thanks to your nightmare."Akash pulled his blanket and said,"Tum jaao jaakar so jaao,main thik hu."Ananya nodded her head and said,"Nehi tum us raat Mumbai mein bhi cheek uthe the apne kamre mein.Main uthkar tumhaare room mein bhi gayi thi,par dekha ke tum so gaye the,isliye tumhe uthaaya nehi.Tum mere saath bed par chalo,tum vahi so jaao.I can understand,akele rehte ho na shaayad aadat nehi hai,isliye dar lagta hoga."Akash said,"Nehi...Main tumhaare saath bed share nehi kar sakta.Try n understand Ananya."Ananya looked at him for sometime and understood his dilemma.He held his hand and said,"Mujhe pata hai,tum kyu bed par nehi sona chahte.I completely trust you Akash.Mujhe tumpar pura bharosa hai,I know tum apni hadh ka pura khayaal rakkhoge."Akash still said,"Ananya ye thik nehi hai.Ek to bina shaadi kiye hum ek karma share kar rahe hai,vaise bhi ye mere ethics ke khilaaf hai,upar se tum..."Ananya was feeling very sleepy at one side,so she was not liking those ethical lectures a bit.She yelled,"Ek to mujhe bohot neend aa rahi hai aur upar se tum ho ki larkiyo jaise sharma rahe ho,jab main larki hone ke baad bhi aisa bol sakti hu,to tu kyu nehi kar sakte?Tension to mujhe honi chahiye!Daro mat main tumhaara rape nehi karungi.Abhi chalo!"Ananya didn't wait for Akash's answer and pulled him by his hand and took him to the bed.Akash lied down unwantedly and Ananya too lied down beside him and put all the cushions of the couch in their middle and said,"Ab totumhe koi problem nehi hai na?Dekho maine hamaare beech mein ek lakshman rekha bhi kheech di hai."She held his hand and said,"Bachpan mein main nani ke paas soti thi,mujhe bhi kabhi kabhi raat ko aise daraavne sapne aate the,tab main bohot dar jaati thi aur tab na main apni naani ka haath pakar kar soti thi.Aisa karne se dar bhaag jaata hai.Ab tum sone ki koshish karo dekhna ab koi sapna nehi aayega."Akash held Ananya's hand and slowly closed his eyes.Ananya rubbed his head she too closed her eyes.When Ananya was was having deep slumber,Akash opened his eyes and looked intensely at sleeping Ananya.In his mind,he said,"Mujhe daravne sapne se bachaane ki koshish kar rahi ho Ananya,jo mumkin nehi hai,kyuki koi apni asliyat se bhaag nehi sakta.Ye sapne to meri zindagi ka hissa hai,par tum?Tumhaara kya hoga Ananya...Tumhaari to puri zindagi hi ek aanewaale kal mein ek daraavna sapna ban kar reh jaayega.Jo sapne aaj tum dekh rahi ho Ananya,unka naam o nishaan tak tumhaari zindagi se mit jaayega."He tried to care her face but stopped himself and then tried to release his hand from her grip,but could not and Ananya in her sleep,held his hand with both her hands and almost hugged it and slept with a content smile on her face.Akash could do nothing except to sleep in that way.

Next day,in the morning,the hotel allotted their private bus for the boarder's road trip.Akash was not willing to go,but on Ananya's persuation,he had to take her out.On the whole way,Ananya discussed her personal future planning after marriage with Akash like how will she take care of Akash,what will be the colour of their bedroom,how many kids will they have.Everytime Ananya's same thinkings and same talkings made Akash so bored that he said,"Ananya tum serious hone ki thori koshish kyu nehi karti ho?Tumhe pata hai,shaadi ke baad,biwiyon ko sabse zyaada serious hona parta hai."Akash deliberately said that thing to Ananya,so that at least for sometime she remains quiet.The bus stopped in front of a museum and the guide took them inside and showed them everything and also explained the history of them.During that whole museum tour,Ananya didn't utter a single word and made a straight face.After almost one hour,when they left the museum to catch the bus,Akash looked at Ananya and found her all very serious.Akash thought that she was hurt,due to his word,so in order to persuade her,he purchased some popcorn and entered inside the bus.Akash gave that to Ananya and said,"Iam sorry Ananya...Tumhe meri baato se bura laga hai na.Ye lo popcorn khao."Ananya made a weired face and asked,"Tum sorry kyu bol rahe ho?"He replied,"Jab maine tumhe us waqt bola tabse tum bilkul aise ajeeb sa muh banaakar bethi hui ho.Tumhe bura laga hai na meri baat ka?"Ananya stared at him with wide eyes and said,"Ajeeb shakal???Hai na,hoti hai na ajeeb si shakal!Dekha!Arey tumne uswaqt bola na serious hone ko,main to tabse vohi karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.Dekha ab tumne bhi maan liya ke main serious shakal banaane par ajeeb dikhti hu,isliye main kabhi serious nehi hoti.Mere cousins to ye tak kehte hai ke main tab cartoon dikhti hu,ab bolo main kaise serious rahu?"Akash stared at her like a dumbo on hearing her reply for a few seconds and then burst out into laughter.He laughed and laughed his heart out after a very long time and that time Ananya was watching him like a dumbo.After Akash stopped laughing,he said,"By God Ananya!You are really too much,sach mein tum cartoon hi ho."He looked at Ananya and on seeing his face asked,"Ab tum mujhe aise ghur kyu rahi ho?"She replied,"Tum haste huye kitne cute lagte ho.Kitne sweet se dimples bhi aate hai.Aaj mere saath tum pehli baar hase ho.Hamesha aise hi haste raha karo."Akash looked into her eyes and was touched to see the genuine concern for him in her eyes,but he didn't want that concern for him,he didn't want that from Ananya,or from anyone because he didn't deserve that.He didn't want that anyone should feel pity for him.He unmindfully looked outside and said,"Aaj pata nehi kitne mahino baad aise hasa hu,varna main to hasna bhul hi gaya tha."He turned his head to wipe his tears.

[ 3 DAYS LATER ]

3 days passed by but there was no confirmed news about the departure of the next flight to US.As each day passed,Akash was getting more and more tensed about how to reach US as soon as possible since his family's life was at stake and delay of each second meant more cloud of danger encircling around their life.These 3 days were like 3 years for Akash and only he could yell from inside about his helplessness and no one could listen to his plea and to no one he could tell about his pains.Every night,Akash used to see that similar dream and scream in his dreams and Ananya used to pecify him.That scream was just not an ordinary one,it appeared as if someone was tearing Akash apart and that scream even terrorized Ananya.One day,he decided that only sitting would not give any fruitful result since,he was being pressurized over phone to bring Ananya there to them as soon as possible.He took initiatives and even went to the airport authority to enquire about the flight.They apologized and informed that it might be delayed for some more days and that one information broke the limits of patience for Akash.He was both scared and raged beyond limits.He grabbed one of the staffs collar and said,"Ek taraf tum log kehte ho ke aur der hogi aur ek taraf vo log meri jaan lene par tule huye hai.Samajhte kya ho tum log saare mujhe.Jo jaise chahe mujhe ghuma raha hai.Main to koi insaan hi nehi hu na."Out of helplessness and anger,Akash punched on the man's face.The other staffs and police arrived to control the scene.They were about to arrest them,but Ananya interfered in the middle and requested them not to arrest him since he was mentally very disturbed and finally on her plea.Ananya almost dragged Akash out of the airport when the police left him.Akash was so angry that he released his hand by force from her grip and started walking away from her.She too followed him and at last caught hold of his hand and blocked his way.Akash was very angry equally on Ananya,but ignoring that,she said,"Ho kya gaya hai tumhe?Tum koi akele to nehi ho jo atka hua hai,bohot saare passengers hai yaha."Akash yelled,"Har kisiki zindagi meri tarah uljhi hui nehi hai aur naahi har kisiko har kadam par ek maut marni parti hai meri tarah.In logo ke to paise jaayenge par meri har second mein jaan ja rahi hai.Do you know that?"Ananya was spellbound as well as confused on hearing all these since she was unable to understand each and every bit of it.She shook him and asked,"Kya bol rahe ho tum Akash???Ye zindagi...uljhi hui...har pal maut...Kya hai ye sab???"Akash looked directly into her eyes and realized what he had spoke out just now.His brain was alarmed and he immediately looked away from her and thought,"Oh God!!!Ye main kya bol gaya...Ab kya samjhaaunga isko??Kya sochegi ye mere baare mein???Agar ye mere saath jaana na chahe to???"He immediately moved away from her and started walking on the direction towards the hotel,biting his nails in tension.Ananya followed him with rage and said,"Main tumse kuch puch rahi hu Akash.Mujhe jawaab chahiye."Akash turned and grinned,"Main tumhaare har sawaal ka jawaab dena zaruri nehi samajhta aur mere life mein kya hota hai aur kya nehi isse tumhe koi matlab nehi honi chahiye."Ananya said,"Mujhe matlab hai,tumhaare har cheez se mujhe matlab hai kyuki main tumse pyar karti hu Akash."Akash was so fed-up with her constant chanting of love,that he made an irritating face and said,"Grow up Ananya!!Ab bas bohot ho gaya.Pyar pyar pyar iske alava bhi life mein bohot kuch hota hai.Itne dino se tumhaari ye bakwaas main mazaak samajh kar bardasht kar raha tha lekin ab bas bohot ho gaya.Do din ke mulaakat mein tumhe mujhse pyar ho gaya right??And you want me to believe that?"Ananya replied,"Pyar hone ke liye kabhi kabhi saari zindagi kam par jaati hai aur kabhi kabhi pehle hi pal mein pyar ho jaata hai.Mujhe tumse pehli nazar mein pyar ho gaya tha Akash.I really love you."Akash said,"Stop it!!Please stop it!!Ab hotel chalo."Akash dragged her towards the road and called a cab and left for the hotel.

At night,Akash and Ananya went out for a walk after the dinner.They purchased ice-cream and decided to sit somewhere.In the corner of the road,they found a bench.They were sitting on a bench where Ananya said,"Tum har roz raat ko ek hi sapna dekhte ho aur itne dardnaak tareeke se cheekhte ho na Akash ke saaf pata chalta hai that you have a dark past.Tumhaare life mein aisa kuch hua hai jo tum kisiko bata nehi sakte.Aakhir baat kya hai?Aaj tumne airport mein jo kiya hai na Akash...that was horrible,aisa laga jaise tumhaari jaan chali jaayegi agar tum nehi gaye to."Akash was sweating badly from inside since he could not tell her anything but he could simply understand that Ananya had started doubting him.Ananya put her hand on his shoulder and said,"Bolo na Akash aakhir kya baat hai.Maine aksar tumhe akele mein ghanto apni family ke photo ke taraf ghurte huye dekha hai,bolo na."Akash looked into Ananya's eyes and understood that she really wanted to know about his pains,but Akash could not tell that to Ananya,the actual dark truth.He was always scared of her innocent looks,since he felt more and more guilty and helpless in front of them so he always tried to avoid to look into her eyes,but just sometimes it becomes very difficult.He thought if she got to know the real truth she would definitely call the police,but also he knew,that on not telling about the truth would just increase her suspicion over him which would destroy everything.So,he decided to create a false story and decided to tell that to Ananya.He said,"Vo...vo...vo meri family ka ek bohot bara business tha,par ek saal pehle hamaara business fall kar gaya upar se dad ne market se bohot bara loan uthaakar rakkha tha is vajah se loan denewaalo ne ghar par,office par aakar dad ke upar paiso ke liye zor zabardasti karne lage.Mere dad ye pressure jhel nehi paaye aur unhe heart attack aa gaya.Unki tabiyat thik nehi hai bilkul bhi isliye,ab ye loan chukaane ki zimmedaari mujhpar hai.Tumhaari company mein jab koi female staff join hota hai,to mujhpar ye zimmedaari rehti hai ke main usey sahi salaamat unke sheher tak lekar aau aur raaste par unka pura khayaal rakkhu.Mujhe is kaam ke liye,per assignment,30000 rupiye milte hai aur unke aur bhi kaam hote hai jo main karta hu,uske liye bhi mujhe salary milti hai.Ab yaha der ho rahi hai,to mujhe paise milne mein bhi der ho jaayegi waha mujhe dad ke treatment ke liye paise chahiye,loan chukaane ke liye paise chahiye."He stopped to take some breath.He again continued,"Kuch loan dene waale to itne ghatiya hai ke kuch logo ne liye huye loan ke badle mein...meri behen ko...ek raat...ke...liye...isliye main har raat ko sapna dekhta tha ke koi meri behen ko..."He closed his eyes.Ananya could easily understand his grief and said,"Tumhaare life mein itna kuch ho gaya aur main tumhaare saath hu itne dino se par tumne kabhi bhi mujhe kuch bhi bataaya hi nehi,itne saare problems se tum akele larte rahe aur mujhe kuch kaha bhi nehi,yaha tak ki mujhe bhanak bhi nehi parne di."Akash sadly smiled and replied,"Tumse pehle bhi do teen larkiyo ko companywalo tak pohcha chuka hu,ab har kisiko beth kar to apni raamkahaani nehi suna sakta hu na."Ananya chuckled and said,"Shaayad mere jitna tumhaara dimaag kisine nehi khaaya hoga,hai na?"Akash laughed and said,"Ha aur tumhaara vo pyar pyar ratta.You know its damn funny and irritating."Ananya made a serious face and after a pause said,"Main sach mein tumse pyar karti hu Akash,main mazaak nehi kar rahi hu."Akash looked at her and again became irritated and replied,"Achcha???Kitna jaanti ho tum mujhe?Kya jaanti ho tum mere baare mein?"Ananya replied,"Hum dono ek dusre ke saath rehte rehte sab kuch jaan jaayenge ek dusre ke baare mein Akash aur phir abhi tumne hi to..."Akash got up from the bench and asked,"Tumhe kaise pata ke maine abhi tumhe jo kuch bhi kaha vo sab sach tha?Maine tumse jhut nehi bola is baat ki kya guarantee hai?"Ananya replied,"Mujhe tumpar apne aap se bhi zyaada bharosa hai.Agar tumne mujhse jhut bhi bola hai to bhi mujhe koi fark nehi parta kyuki mujhe yakeen hai shaayad ye sab mere bhale ke liye hi hai."He said,"Kisi bhi insaan par itni jaldi,itni asaani se bharosa mat karo Ananya.Ye sahi nehi hai."Ananya smiled and cared his face and replied,"Main tumhaare saath aa gayi,tum agar chahte to mere saath in ajnabee sheher mein kuch bhi kar sakte the.Mujhe yaha akela chorkar chale ja sakte the,mere saath zabardasti kar sakte the,par tumne kuch bhi nehi kiya,isse zyaada aur kya saboot chahiye ke tum sahi mein achche insaan ho."Akash looked on and asked,"Agar meri puri identity ek jhut ho to?"Ananya replied,"Koi parvah nehi.Mujhe tumhaare pehchaan se koi lena dena nehi hai Akash,main is jhut ke sahaare apni puri zindagi beeta sakti hu,kyuki mere paas tum ho."Akash could not believe that Ananya trusted him upto that extent that even his false identity would not bother him.He still tried to move her from her place and said,"Khayaali duniya se bahaar aao Ananya.Ye sab kitaabi baate hoti hai,ye pyar vyar sab dil ka ek dhoka hai.Ek din tumhe bhi ehsaas hoga ki ye baate jo tum aaj jo baate keh rahi ho vo kitni bachkaani thi.Kal ko tum in baato par hasogi."Ananya stared at him for sometime and then grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the hotel.

When they reached inside the hotel room,Ananya locked locked the door.On the whole way,Akash just yelled at her,but she didn't pay any heed to her words.On entering inside,Akash asked,"Ye kya badtameezi hai?What the hell is all this?"Ananya didn't reply but just looked paaionately into his eyes.Akash again said,"Main tumse kuch puch raha hu Ananya,kya ho raha hai ye sab?"Again instead of replying,she sowly walked towards him.Akash started walking backwards out of confusion seeing her attitude.He asked,"Ye...k-k-kya ka-ka-kar rahi ho tum..."She again didn't reply and Akash slowly was corned on the walls.Ananya came more close to him and climbed on his feet.She wrapped her arms around his shoulder and without breaking the eye-lock and shocking shocking him,sealed his lips with her in a passionate kiss.She didn't even give him time to react to it and Akash just could not push her away from him due to the suddenness of the incident.Ananya didn't deepen the kiss but that was a very passionate kiss.After a long time,Ananya parted her lips from his.He opened his eyes and yelled,"Ye kaisi nehud harkat thi?"She rubbed both their lips and said,"Agar tum mujhse pyar nehi karte to vo tumhaari problem hai Mr Akash Saluja,par kabhi mere pyar ko bachkaani bolkaar uski beizzati mat karna."Saying she pcked up her towel and sleeping robe left to take shower leaving Akash shocked.

PROLOGUE , CHAPTER - 1 TO 6

CHAPTER - 7

The moment,that day when Ananya sealed his lips with hers,not only their lips,but there destinies also sealed,which was known only by their fate but Akash was still ignorant about that.But that day marked not a very drastic or something of that kind,but still a small change in Akash's life and that was from that instance,Akash stopped getting irritated on her,according to him,her bullshit theory of love,from that night itself,Akash stopped scolding her and insulting her for all her nonsense talks about her future plans with him.It was not that he started liking all those things but it was just,he got used to everything and even he stopped mocking and scolding her.While they were travelling round the city,Akash was totally silent unlike other days.Ananya,while walking beside him,asked,"Kya baat hai Akash,aaj bohot chupchap ho tum?Kuch hua hai kya?"He didn't reply to her but continued that silence.She blocked his way and asked,"Bolo na kya hua?"He tried to avoid her and replied,"Kuch nehi hua hai."But she was too difficult to avoid and replied,"Nehi mujhe pata haike kuch na kuch to zarur hua hai.Bataao mujhe!Jabtak nehi bologe main tumhaara rasta nehi chiorungi."Akash looked a bit disturbed and said,"Please Ananya,mera abhi baat karne ka mood nehi hai.Pleease mera raasta choro."Ananya put her hands on her waist and asked,"Usdin jo maine tumhe kiss kiya us baat ko lekar pareshaan ho?"He turned his head on another direction but didn't reply.She smiled a little bit and said,"Mujhe pata hai ke shaayad mera tareeka thik nehi tha par tum hamesha mere pyar ka mazaak uraate ho,mujhe tab bohot bura lagta hai.Tumhe hamesha yehi lagta hai na ke meri harkate bohot bachkaani hai,mujhme maturity nehi hai.Par aisa nehi hai,uswaqt mere paas apne pyar ka sabot dene laayak kuch nehi tha,isliye gussa aa gaya and I...did that.Trust me!!Agar tum mujhse pyar nehi karte ho to main tumhe bilkul bhi force nehi karungi,par tum he ye haq bilkul bhi nehi hai ke tum kisi dusre ke pyar ka mazaak uraao."Akash looked into her eyes and then replied,"Jab hum US pohchenge na Ananya,tumhe unke hawaale karne ke baad main waapas India aa jaaunga,uske baad shaayad hum zindagi mein kabhi ek dusre ki shakal nehi dekhenge,phir???Hum kabhi mil bhi nehi paayenge.Tab kya karogi tum?"Ananya smiled and nodded her head and said,"Nehi!!Aisa hargiz nehi hoga,kyuki main jaanti hu ke jinka pyar sachcha hota hai,vo log ek na ek din milte zarur hai.Agar mera pyar sachcha hai to hum zarur milenge.Ek din tumhaare dil mein bhi mere liye pyar zarur jagega aur usdin tum khud mere paas bhaage bhaage aaoge."Akash pushed Ananya away from his way and replied,"Sapne dekhna chor do Miss Bhushan,tumhaare sehat ke liye achcha hoga."He started walking leaving Ananya behind.She yelled from behind,"Mark my words Mr Akash Sharma!!!Agar tum mere peeche peeche mujhe dhundhte huye US nehi aaye,to mera naam bhi Ananya Bhushan nehi."Akash avoided her and Ananya ran to rech him.

Akash and Ananya did some shopping for Ananya from Amsterdam and while returning,Akash confirmed about the flight.To his luck,the airport authority confirmed about 2 days later's confirmed flight to US.Akash informed the same to Ananya and said,"Lo ab to tum US bhi chali jaaogi aur vahi settle ho jaaogi,phir tumse meri chutti."Ananya nodded her head and replied,"Mmmhmmm!!Hargiz nehi!!Tumhe kabhi mujhse chutti nehi milegi,kamsekam is janam mein to hargiz nehi."Ananya started packing her luggage.While putting her clothes inside the bag,Ananya asked,"Achcha Akash ye to bataao,jab main tumhaare paas nehi rahungi tab tum mujhe miss to karoge na?"Akash looked at her for sometime and thought what to say as reply.Ananya came nd hugged him from back and in a loving tone tone said,"Ab bol bhi do that you'll miss me."Akash smiled and asked,"Aur agar kahu ke nehi miss karunga main tumhe to?"She kissed on his cheek and said,"Ha tum mujhse jhut bol sakte ho par apne aap se to nehi bol sakte ho na.Tum mujhe miss karoge aur zarur karoge aur ye baat main likh kar de sakti hu."Akash in an amusing tone asked,"Achcha???Tumhe apne aap par itna confidence hai?"She sat on the bed and replied,"Of course!!Main hu hi aisi."He walked towards her and sat beside her and gave a sigh and said,"Jab main tumse pehli baar mila tha to tum mujhe bohot irritating lagi thi,tumhaara attitude,tumhaari baate bohot filmy thi,aisa lag raha tha jaise ke tum hamesha fairy tale ki duniya mein hi rehti ho.Reality se tumhaara dur dur tak koi rishta hi nehi hai.Phir tumhaara vo baar baar future plan karna aur vo bhi mere saath,that was so ridiculous for me.Par...ha ye baat hai ke..."He lowered his head and then again looked at her and said,"I will mis you.Tumse pehle bhi do teen larkiyo ko main lekar gaya tha par kabhi kisike bhi saath...you know.Tum pehli ho."Ananya grabbed his collar and in a warning tone,said,"Main pehli hu aur aakhri bhi.Khabardar agar mere jaane ke baad kisi bhi larki ke saath...Samajh rahe ho na?"He smirked and asked,"Aur agar kisi larki ne tumhaare hi jaise mujhse chipakne ki koshish ki to?"She raised her finger on his face and replied,"Naam bataana uska mujhe aakar maine uski shakal na bigaari to mera bhi naam Ananya Bhushan nehi aur vaise bhi is dunia mein tumhe irritate karne ka haq sirf mujhe hai aur kisiko nehi."She made a proud face.On seeing her expressions,Akash just chuckled out and asked,"Hamesha se aisi hi thi kya tum?"Ananya shook his shoulder and replied,"Bachpan ka to mujhe yaad nehi hai par ha jawaani se main to aisi hi hu.Tumhe pata hai,main na fairy tale ki zindagi hi jeena chahti hu,ekdam perfect happy ending.Ek ghar,itna saara pyar karnewaala pati,bachche sab kuch.Main life mein kuch soch kar nehi karna chahti kyuki sochne se hamaari kismat nehi badal jaayegi aur jab aisa hoga hi nehi,to khamakha mein kyu sochu?Meri life jaisi hai main usko vaise hi jeena chahti hu..."She pulled his nose and said,"Tumhaare saath."Akash listened to her and then gave a sad smile and said,"Hamesha hum jo chahte hai,vo pura ho ye to koi zaruri nehi hai na."She said,"Jaanti hu,par is vajah se koi sampne dekhna to nehi chorta hai na.Ab sapne dekhne mein paise thore hi kharch ho rahe hai."He smiled and was about to say something but Ananya interrupted him and said,"Dekho parso main US chali jaaungi,phir pata nehi kab main tumhaare paas hamesha ke liye waapas aaungi,isliye,chalo na,aaj ki shaam aur kal ka ek pura din hum dono jee bhar ke beetate hai taki parso mere dil mein koi gila na rahe ke maine tumhaare saath time spend nehi kiya."She held her hand with lots of excitement on her face and Akash too in order to make her happy agreed to her proposal.He went inside the washroom to wash his face and while looking into the mirror,he said to himself,"Tum jaha kahogi main tumhe waha lekar chalunga Ananya,kyuki tum sahi kehti ho,jo hai aaj hai,kal ka koi bharosa nehi.Kya pata tumhaare us aanewaale kal mein bhi shaayad ye mauka ho ya na ho."Saying he got ready and took Ananya outside for a road trip on foot.

Next day,was their last day at Amsterdam,so Akash planned to allow,Ananya to do whatever she wanted that whole day.He took her out of the hotel without realizing that the one single day would permanently change his life for the lifetime.They went to different places together and for Ananya,it appeared as if she was living he whole life in that one single day,she was so happy that time.Seeing her to be so happy,somewhere inside him,Akash too felt some kind of self content.

Na Hai Yeh Pana.
Na Khona Hi Hai.
Tera Na Hona Jaane.
Kyun Hona Hi Hai.

Akash took her for boating.She purchased a handycam and while Akash was paddling the boat,she was busy recording with that.He was smiling all the time,he was noticing Ananya.

Tum Se Hi Din Hota Hai.
Surmaiye Shaam Aati.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

Har Ghadi Saans Aati Hai.
Zindagi Kehlati Hai.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

Ananya pulled Akash's hand to take her towards the shore.After reaching the shore,she pleaded to have some sea food.Akash told her that she would not like one,but it was really very difficult to explain anything to her as if she had returned to her childhood.

Na Hai Yeh Pana.
Na Khona Hi Hai.
Tera Na Hona Jane.
Kyun Hona Hi Hai.

Akash took Ananya to a restaurant and she ordered a sea-food item,but that too without knowing what she had ordered.Akash,on hearing that order,warned her not to have that one but Ananya was Ananya and she had decided that she would not listen to anyone else and would do whatever she liked.

Aankhon Mein Ankhen Teri.
Bahoon Mein Baahein Teri.
Mera Na Mujh Mein Kuch Raha Hua Kya.

When the order was served Ananya found out that it was a lobster.On seeing that,she screamed out loudly and threw the plate on the floor.She looked at Akash and found that he was looking at her giving a mocking grin as if he was saying,'See-I-told-you' and then looked around everyone.Ananya too followed his eyes and found that everyone were looking towards her.On seeing this,she felt very awkward and made an almost crying face and looked at Akash.She immediately folded her lips and cried out taking Akash's name.Now,in irder to void the scene,Akash immediately paid the bill and took her away.

Baaton Mein Baatein Teri.
Raatein Saugatein Teri.
Kyun Tera Sab Yeh Ho Gaya Hua Kya.

He took her to an Indian restaurant,where Ananya had Indian food after a long time and she had her food with content.After a very long time,he had seen her having food with so much happiness and she was pretending as if she had food after ages.

Mein Kahin Bhi Jata Hoon.
Tumse Hi Mil Jata Hoon.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

After having lunch,Akash paid the bill and both of them decided to go for shopping.

Shor Mein Khamoshi Hai.
Thodi Se Behoshi Hai.
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi.

Ananya was selecting one dress and after 2 minutes of checking,rejected that one.None of those dresses were liked by her.She was gradually getting fed up and confused about what she really wanted to have.

Aadha Sa Wada Kabhi.
Aadhe Se Jayada Kabhi.
Jee Chahe Karlu Is Tarah Wafa Ka.

On seeing Ananya's condition,Akash just could not stop laughing and then he came forward to her help.He helped her to select some beautiful and sober dresses and she purchased them.

Chode Na Chote Kabhi.
Tode Na Tute Kabhi.
Jo Dhaga Tumse Jud Gaya Wafa Ka.

They returned to their hotel in the evening.Ananya was tired like hell.Once she reached the room,he dashed on the bed and immediately fall asleep.Akash just came out of the washroom and found her sleeping like a kid.

Mein Tera Sarmaya Hoon.
Jo Bhi Mein Ban Paya Hoon.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

He sat beside her on the bed and he smiled looking at her innocent face and he lovingly rubbed her head.

Raaste Miljate Hai.
Manzile Miljati Hai.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

At dinner time,after a lot of hard work,Akash woke Ananya up and ordered for dinner.But like an arrogant and spoiled child,Ananya announced that she won't have dinner and she wanted to sleep.He persuaded her for a long time and at last,she agreed on the condition that Akash had to feed her and then only she would have her dinner to which he agreed witout having any option left.

Na Hai Yeh Pana.
Na Khona Hi Hai.
Tera Na Hona Jane.
Kyun Hona Hi Hai.

Tum Se Hi Din Hota Hai.
Surmaiye Shaam Aati.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

Har Ghadi Saans Aati Hai.
Zindagi Kehlati Hai.
Tumse Hi Tumse Hi.

Akash started feeding her and she like a very good girl,finished her dinner and after changing she again resumed to her sleeping mode.Akash too after completing his dinner,sat on a stool,beside her bed and slept closing her eyes and putting her head on Ananya's pillow and she too slept peacefully by grabbing his hand.

Akash woke up very early and since the flight was a bit late,he didn't wake Ananya up.Though he was desperately waiting for the day,when he would be reaching US so that he could hand over Ananya to them just to make sure that his family was safe.Everytime,he delivered one girl,he used to feel very sad,something used to squeeze him from inside,but Ananya's case was different.Everytime,his duty was to take the girls upto Mumbai but Ananya was the only girl with whom he spent a lot of time and thats why he was feeling more sad thinking that he had to deliver her to those animals today.At one moment,he decided that he would elope with Ananya somewhere else just in order to make her safe.He didn't know why and how he was caring for and thinking about her so much.He had a terrible desire to keep her safe from everyones eys and everyones hands,a if...as if only he had the sole authority and claim over her.Akash went away from her and stood in front of the window to fill up his lungs with some fresh air as the air inside the room was appearing to be very heavy.He said to himself,"Ye kya ho raha hai mujhe?Kyu soch raha hu main aisa?Pehle to kabhi kisi larki ke liye aisa feel nehi kiya?To phir aaj mujhe ye sab...Kahi mujhe...Kahi mujhe Ananya se pyar to nehi ho gaya..."He shook his head and said,"Akash Akash...bandh kar ye sab sochna.Vo larki teri koi nehi lagti hai aur tera kaam tujhe kisi se bhi pyar karne ki ijaazat nehi deta hai Akash...Ye sab apne dimaag se nikaal de,kyuki isse dard sirf tujhe hi hoga."He closed his eyes to made up his mind and then walked towards Ananya to wake her up.On getting up,Ananya rubbed her eyes and asked,"Itni jaldi kyu uthaaya?"Without looking into her eyes,Akash replied,"Bohot kaam hai Ananya aur jaldi airport bhi to pohochna hai,vaha bhi kitne saare formalities purey karne parte hai.Tum jaakar nahaalo,jao."Ananya made a face and went for bathing.After coming out,she said,"Pata hai Akash kal raat ko na mujhe itni achchi neend aayi,itni achchi neend aayi ke mujhe yaad bhi nehi aa raha hai ke isse pehle mujhe itni achchi neend kab aayi thi?"Akash was half mindedly listening to everything and her last words got into her mind and his tongue slipped,"Aaj ke baad tumhe kabhi neend bhi nehi aayegi."Ananya asked,"Kya??Mujhe neend kyu nehi aayegi?"He realized that by mistake he had said something which he should not have said and so he immediately corrected himself.He stammered,"Uh...vo...vo...vaha itna kaam karna parega na ke neend veend sab ur jaayegi."She replied,"Oh!!!Ok par tum fikar mat karo,dekhna sone ke liye main time zarur nikaal lungi."They had their breakfast and decided to move towards the airport.After reaching the airport,he completed all the formalities.In the airport,he didn't look at Ananya,since her eyes tortured her and everytime squeezed him more for his guilt.Ananya too noticed that Akash was abnormally silent that day.She shook him and asked,"Tum itne chupchap kyu ho?Main subhe se dekh rahi hu ke tum mujhse baat hi nehi kar rahe ho.Kya baat hai?"Akash nodded his head and said,"Kuch nehi bas aise hi."She nodded her head and asked,"Nehi kuch baat to zarur hai.Bolo mujhe."He smiled and said,"Itne dino se tumhaari bakwaas sun sun kar mujhe aadat ho gayi hai na soch raha tha ke jab tum chali jaaogi to sach mein main bohot bore ho jaaunga."She instantly asked,"To cancel kar du?"He looked towards Ananya and asked,"Main manaa karunga to tum nehi jaaogi?"Sh replied,"Bilkul nehi jaaungi."He chuckled and replied,"Nehi tum jaao.Apni life mein aagey baro,khub tarakki karo aur tumne to kaha hi tha ke hum dono ek din zarur milenge aur tum mere paas chali aaogi."She said,"Ha vo to hai.Vaise tumse ek baat puchu?"He said,"Ha pucho na."She held his hand and asked,"Tum sach mein mujhe bhul to nehi jaaoge na?"He played with her chin and replied,"Ananya Bhushan bhulne waali cheez thore hi hai."She gave a broad smile.Just then the flight was announced and both of them boarded towards the flight.

In the flight,Akash sat like a lifeless statue trying to control th storm that was blowing and destroying everything inside him.Ananya kept on talking with him but as if nothing was going inside his head.In his mind,he said,"Aaj se pehle apne aap ko itna bebas aur itna laachaar kabhi mehsus nehi kiya.Aaj aisa lag raha hai ke apni jaan lelu.Itne paap ka bojh lekar main jeeyunga kaise?"The flight landed within a few hours in the US airport and both of them came down.After claiming their luggage,when Akash and Ananya came out of the airport,they found two people standing with a hoarding digged with Ananya's name.He pointed at that one and said,"Dekho Ananya,tumhe lene ke liye company ke log aaye hai."She looked towards that direction and suddenly she didn't know why she grabbed Akash's hand in fear.In a fear filled voice,she said,"Mujhe nehi jaana hai Akash.Mujhe tumhaare saath rehna hai."Akash said,"Arey vo tumhe tumhaare naye ghar lekar jaayenge aur tumhaara office bhi dikhaayenge."She still nodded her head and replied,"Nehi main tumhe chorkar nehi jaaungi."Akash found it to be a very difficult situation where he himself didn't want to let go of Ananya but on the other side,he had to save his family and so he turned Ananya towards him and said,"Ananya yaad hai tumhe tumne mujhe kaha tha ke tum ye job apni khushi ke liye karna chahti ho,tumhe apne pero par khara hona hai.To aaj tumhaara sapna tumhaare saamne khara hai,tum iswaqt peeche kaise hat sakti ho??"She still was confused.Akash again continued,"Dekho Ananya har kisiko apne sapna jeene ka mauka har roz nehi milta,please jaao."By that time,those two men already came to take Ananya and her luggage away.Ananya unwantedly left with them.One of the men came to Akash and handed him ove an envelope and said,"Your payment and the address of the hotel where you will live and your return tickets to Mumbai."The man left from there towards the car.Before entering the car,Ananya turned towards Akash and she ran to him.Without thinking Akash opened his arms as if he too was waiting for her and they hugged.Ananya broke that hug and kissed him and that one kiss was describing their pains to each other.She broke the kiss and said,"Akash tum mujhe roz phone karoge na?Roz mujhse baat karoge na??Main tumhaare phone ka intezaar karungi."Akash too had tears in his eyes just like Ananya and he just nodded his head since he could not speak any more.Ananya slowly parted her hands from his and walked back to the car.Akash blinked his eyes since everything was becoming hazy in front of him and allowed the tears to fall.
