Finally Vinay Kapoor's face was visible to Khushi.He looked modern,yet serious and responsible.
V:After how many years are we meeting?
Arnav:Ya...if we had'nt met on facebook I would not have recognised you.You have changed a lot.Chubby cheeks and all.
Vinay smiled.
A:Meet my wife Khushi.
V:Hello.
K:Namaste Vinayji.By the way I have heard a lot about you.
Vinay joked:What rubbish did Arnav tell you about me?
A:No no.I did'nt tell her anything.She got information from an outside source which even I were unaware of.
V:Really?
K:Not an outside source.Anjaliji told me about you.She is my closest friend.
Vinay was shocked:You all know Anjali?
K:Yes.She is our neighbour.
Vinay said softly:Oh I did'nt know that.
K:She was praising you a lot.
Vinay looked at her with surprise.
He smiled:What did Anjali say about me?
K:She said you saved her.
A:Ya man.Heard that you took her case without taking fees.Is it true?
V:Yes,it's true.
A:But why?Usually advocates do that if the client is their relative or closed one.But Anjali was stranger to you.Right?Then why?
Vinay kept silent for a few moments.
Then slowly he opened his mouth:Just like that.When I heard about what really happened with Anjali I felt she should not be punished.As a lawyer it's my duty to save people like her.That's all.
Arnav and Khushi smiled.
K:Anyways you did a great thing Vinayji.
V:Doing one's duty is not a great thing.
Khushi smiled.
K:Vinayji,your wife and children..?
He was silent for a moment.
V:I am not married.
A:Are you too busy to get married?Trust me.Marriage is a must.I married Khushi and she is my luck.
She smiled.
V:Not because I am busy.The girl I loved married some one else.
Arnav and Khushi felt bad.
A:Means that girl cheated on you.
V:No,she did'nt cheat me.
A:Then?
V:Leave it yaar.What's the use of discussing it?I am trying to forget it.
A:Ok..
Arnav and Khushi got ready to go to the temple.
K:You know Arnavji..When I heard about Vinayji from Anjaliji itself I started respecting him.But .after meeting Vinayji my respect for him increased.
A:So Khushi you are happy to meet Vinay.Right?
K:Yes.And thank you for introducing him to me.
He smiled:Ok.Shall we go to the temple now?
K:Ya.But can I call Anjaliji also?
A:Why Anjali?
K:If she comes with me to the temple she will get relief.
A:Ok.Call her.
Khushi went to Anjali's house.
A:Hi Khushi...come...
K:Anjaliji,today you look so happy.
Anj:Actually I got a job.Tomorow I will join the office.And you know...it's Adv.Vinay who informed about the post.Otherwise I would not have known about it.I was worried how I will live without a job.But thanks to Adv.Vinay.He helped me.
K:That is so nice.Vinayji is really nice Anjaliji.
Anj:Yes,I am really grateful to him.
K:And the surprise is that Vinayji and Arnavji are childhood friends.
Anj:Really?That's a surprise.
K:By the way Anjaliji...we are going to the temple.I came here to call you to come with us.Don't say no.
Anj:Ok.I will change and come.I need to thank God.Now I feel God's decision to bring me out of the hell like jail was right.I feel relieved and happy aftera long time.
Khushi smiled.
Anjali went to dress up.
Khushi thought:Anjaliji is so happy now.It's only because of Vinayji.
Arnav,Khushi and Anjali went to the temple and attended the puja.
A:Khushi,I will stand outside.You both take your own time.
K:Ok.We will come after taking prasad.
A:Ok.
Arnav went away.
With the prasad Khushi and Anjali stepped out of the temple.
K:I think Arnavji parked the car far.Let us walk.
They were walking while they were unaware of the lorry coming behind them.
Arnav was shocked.
Arnav ran towards Khushi screaming:Khushiii!
He pulled her aside.
Khushi was panting:Arnavji!
A:Thank God you are ok Khushi.
K:But Anjaliji...
They turned back.
They saw Vinay holding Anjali's hand.
A:Vinay!
While Arnav pulled Khushi aside Vinay who were going to the temple pulled Anjali aside.
