Vishal and Dipika joked about everything as they lit the lamps….

As they neared the end of the line, Vishal looked sideways at Dipika and smiled satisfactorily…. He had not lost his friend… He didn't want Dipika to know about his feelings, but always feared the moment she may come to know…. But now all was fine…. He felt contended and happy! 😛

After lighting the lamps Vishal and Dipika came down…. Coming down they noticed that the whole team was there talking to Mrs.Malhotra… Some other people had also come from the neighborhood…. 😊

Dipika saw them and scanned the group…. For whom? Of course for Aryan… But she didn't see him in the group….

But Vishal saw him…. He saw that Aryan was at a distance talking to the priest…. Seems he had met his team… But he thought to keep Dipika away as far as possible…. He still had that plan up his sleeves…. 😉

So before Dipika could take her eyes of the team he pulled her down fast…. So the crowd blotted out the view fartherest the hall

Seeing them coming down the stairs Mrs.Malhotra called out…..

Mrs.Malhotra: Are Dipika, Vishal jaldi aao… Pooja shuru hone waali hai…. 😊

Hearing Mrs.Malhotra mention Dipika's name Aryan turned towards the stairs but at the same time Dipika came down and so he couldn't see her at the other end of the crowd…..

He had heard from his maami that she had come and was lighting lamps in the terrace… Did he want to go up or not? ❓ He didn't know… So he decided against going up to meet her… He chided himself for been embarrassed…. Never had he felt before anything like this…. 🤔

Smiling Dipika went to greet the team…

Aryan just turned back to the priest, but was not yet ready to believe that he was disappointed not to see her…. He thought of it to be yet an attraction between colleagues…

Vishal came down and the others greeted him warmly too….

Ajay and Shotgun introduced their mothers… He sought their blessings…. Then moving a little he purposefully went and stood in the front of Dipika blocking Aryan's view of her and vice versa… 😉

Seeing Vishal and Dipika Mrs.Malhotra raised her eyebrows at her son…. Vishal nodded and indicated everything was fine… Mrs.Malhotra smiled relieved and resumed her talk with Ajay's and Shotgun's mother…. 😛

Everyone was looking handsome and beautiful….. The house was decorated and the there was an atmosphere of holiness and happiness everywhere…. Vishal looked around and was happy…. His mind too free of the guilt he wore…. 😊

Neha was also beautifully dressed in an orange short salwar… Haseena had come in a beautiful yellow designer saree…. Ajay was wearing a green sherwani… Shotgun a green and black one, Zubin a violet one and Boxer a polka dotted orange one…. ⭐️

Mrs.Malhotra had changed into a beautiful olive green blue bordered silk saree…. Aryan's selection for his maami…. 👍🏼

But Aryan was the handsome of all in a wonderful white sherwani with gold thread work and a red duppatta… 😳

Meanwhile Dipika went to the sofa where she had kept the gifts she had bought that evening…. Seeking everyone from her team she gave them the gifts….

Dipika gave Neha her gift….

Neha: Thank you! Lekin Dipika hum shopping saath me gaye the naa… Phir tumne mere liye kab khareeda gift? ❓

Smiling Dipika said….

Dipika: Bas tab hi jab tum Ajay ki maa ke liye ek gift dhoondh rahi thi… Tumhari pehli diwali hai naa unke saath… 😊

Blushing Neha nodded….☺️Looking around at Ajay's mother, Haseena and Boxer, Vishal and his mother, Aryan and looking at Dipika she said….

Neha: Aaj to kayi naye rishte bane hain... Isliye is saal ka Diwali yaad gaar hoga…. (Feeling sad 😕 ) Lekin shayad kisi ka aakhri naa ho! 🤢

Looking at Neha Dipika understood what she meant… Consoling her she said….

Dipika: Don't worry Neha… Kuch nahi hoga… God will see to it! 😔 (Then seeing a CD in Neha's hand she asked) Ye CD?!?!? ❓

Indicating it Neha said…..

Neha: Oh ye… Haseena ke EID celebration ki hai… Hum sab gaye the naa… Us din record kar rahe the… Cassette se Haseena ne CD banake di hai for us to watch… Usne circulate karne ko kaha hai… 😛

Dipika: (Hitting her head lightly) Are haan…. CD se yaad aaya… Humari dandiya night ko bhi record kiy a gaya tha…. Use CD me maine transfer kar di hai… Lana bhool gayi… Kal laaongi… Anyways remind me please!

Neha nodded and Dipika excused herself to give the gifts to the others…. 😊

It was really a happy occasion… Finally Dipika had Aryan's gift alone in her hand and started seeking him when Vishal noticed this… He came up to and asked innocently… 😊

Vishal: Kise dhooooooooondh rahi ho?☺️

Looking at him and smiling blushing she said….☺️

Dipika: Vo main… Aryan ko… (Hastily) Uski gift deni thi naa!

Vishal : (Smiling mischeiviously) Ah… Gift deni thi! Theek hai naa… Yaheen kaheen hoga… Mujhe do main de deta hoon… 😉

Dipika hesitated a little and said….

Dipika: Nai….. Ye vo gift hai… Main khud de deti hoon…. 😳

As Vishal started to interrupt again he saw the priest and Aryan coming up to the group he immediately diverted Dipika's eyes to the far end of the room…. He slowly turned to see that Aryan was scanning the group… He knew he must be looking for Dipika….☺️

The priest asked Mrs.Malhotra….

Priest: Maa ji pooja shuru karein? ❓

Mrs.Malhotra nodded and stood in the front pulling Aryan too the front…. So he just missed Dipika at the back of the group…. Calling back Mrs.Malhotra said….

Mrs.Malhotra: Vishal! Dipika! Yahan aao…

Dipika placed the gift on the sofa and she and Vishal went to the front….

Everyone assembled in front of the idol kept in the hall…. Vishal came trough to the front and made Dipika stand next him on the far side… So even if Aryan twisted his neck he wouldn't be able to see her because there were a lot of people present there… And they had made lines behind them….. 😳

The pooja started…. It was wonderful occasion to be celebrated… As Hindu mythology says victory of the right over wrong… Of goodness over evil….

Vishal prayed and then looked sideways at Dipika…. Dipika prayed too but kept looking behind the group scanning to get a glimpse of Aryan…. 😉

He smiled privately and nudged her… Startled Dipika looked at him who indicated to pray… Reluctantly Dipika tore her eyes from the back and closed her eyes… Vishal pitied her state… But what he was doing was for her sake…. Keeping her and Aryan away surely would yield more results he felt… 😳

While all prayed for their well being, for their family, for their friends…. The foremost prayer which the team kept forward was to save the girl who was at danger today…..

After the pooja aarti was done…. With it done the priest took it around…

Aryan had taken his aarti and glanced back when he saw a pair of green bangled hands taking the aarti…. Looking up he saw the hands smooth over the face and head…. But before the hands could come down someone blocked his view…. He saw that it was Ajay…..

Ajay: Its cracker time! [:D/]

Immediately there was a general enthusiasm amongst the crowd…. Neha grasped Dipika's hand and pulled her to the terrace…. 🥳

Neha: Let's go! (Looking at Aryan) Come on Aryan… Jaldi… 😃

Saying Neha dragged off Dipika to the terrace….. And immediately the others walked behind them…..

But since Neha was in front of Dipika and other people beside them, Aryan still didn't notice Dipika….. 😕

Vishal stood watching the fun…. That both hadn't seen each other…. Silently he thanked Neha and Ajay…. Then thought maybe he could get their help to get Aryan and Dipika still closer…. Because he knew that they cared for them as well as he did… Of course his foremost concern was Dipika but for them he knew it was both and especially Aryan…….. 😛

He made way to the terrace…. Mrs.Malhotra was going to the terrace with Ajay and Shotgun's mother when she Aryan still in his place lost in thoughts… She excused herself from them and came to him….

Mrs.Malhotra: Aryan!

No response… Grasping his shoulders she shook him lightly and called him again…..

Mrs.Malhotra: Aryan!

This time Aryan looked at her startled and asked…

Aryan: Ji… Ji maami…. 😳

Mrs.Malhotra: Yahan kyun khade ho? Upar nahi aa rahe? (Twinkle in her eyes) Kya baat hai? Kisi ko dhoondh rahe ho? 😆

Seeing the mysterious smile on her lips Aryan said…. 😉

Aryan: Kisi ko?? 😔 (Shaking his head) Nai… Nai to maami…. Chaliye! 😉

Saying he went off towards the stairs… Smiling Mrs.Malhotra and the others went up to the terrace😆

When Aryan, Mrs.Malhotra and the others came up to the terrace the celebration had already begun…. 🥳

Aryan again looked around scanning the group… His eyes fell on Vishal…. Some other girls and boys were also standing around him while he was bursting crackers in his hand…. ⭐️

Vishal looked up at him and raised his eyebrows and indicated him to come there…. But Aryan just shook his head and went to join Neha and Ajay… Vishal just shrugged off and went back to lighting the crackers…. 😳

Ajay thrust a cracker in his hand saying….

Ajay: Aryan jala naa!

Looking at the cracker and back at Ajay Aryan protested…..

Aryan: Ajay… Tumhe pata hai I don't celebrate….

From the other side of Ajay Neha was just about to light an atom bomb when she said loudly, to be heard above the noises….

Neha: Aryan! Please…. Aaj sab ikhate hain…. Aunty bhi hain… Please jalaoo naa… 😔

But little did they know that Aryan was upset about something else… What he didn't know? He felt sort of upset…. Shaking his head he just turned to look involuntary in Vishal's direction…

At the same moment the girl in front of Vishal wearing a green dress turned moving the tendrils falling on her face, who had actually turned hearing Aryan's name been called out….. He blinked…. 😲

It was Dipika… 😳

He gave her an approving look from top to bottom…. This was the first time he was seeing her in a traditional costume… And for the first time he noticed that Dipika's hair had grown... It was lengthier, thicker falling just below the shoulders.... These many days whenever he got to see her in casuals she was in jeans…. Today he had to agree that she was looking gorgeous… An angel from the sky! 😍

Seeing him look at her Dipika blushed a little and smiled at him… Aryan had no words to say so he just smiled back…. ☺️

Vishal who was just pealing the strip of the cracker noticed that Aryan and Dipika had seen each other and were giving appraising look at each other… He smiled… So finally they had seen, but still time had not come for them to talk…. 😈

Dipika looked at Aryan and at the cracker in his hand and asked through indication…. "Not lighting it?" Aryan looked at the cracker in his hand and at her… Smiling he just nodded and stripping of the end… Lighted it…. There was a boom… And the whole team smiled because it was after a long time Aryan had celebrated Diwali… 👍🏼

Just as Dipika and Ajay took a step towards each other Vishal called out to Dipika….. Dipika's face fell and she hesitated a little and turned back to him… Aryan got a little angry at the interruption and went back to Ajay…. 😡


Vishal had laid the thousand waala down…

Looking around he saw that Aryan was with Ajay and Shotgun bursting crackers on one side… Dipika was holding a twinkle star in her hand looking at him….

Grinning Vishal went up to her and said….

Vishal: Dipika… Kya baat hai? Main bhi dekh raha hoon tum crackers to bilkul burst nahi kar rahi!

Dipika looked at him and made a face…..

Dipika: Nahi Vishal…. Mujhe crackers pasand nahi…. I…. 🤢

Vishal: Aww… Come on Dipika!

Irrespective of Dipika's protest Vishal pulled her… He made her stand in the front and thrust the agarbathi in her hand…. Catching her hand he bent forward with her and lighted the cracker….. 😉

As the crackers started bursting Dipika banged against Vishal's chest closing her ears and eyes… Only after they were over she opened them… Seeing her Vishal laughed and said…. 😆

Vishal: Police officer hoke crackers se dar! My my…. 😃

Chiding him Vishal said….

Dipika: Vishal! Not afraid… Its just that they are too noisy…. 😕

Vishal just grinned off and turned to look at Aryan straight in his eyes… He smiled… There it was… Pure jealousy for Dipika and hatred for him…. Smiling he went off to get more crackers….. 😈

For the next hour or so everyone burst crackers and enjoyed the evening…. Bursting crackers they sang song together and laughed and played…. They felt that their younger days were back…. 😛

Mrs.Malhotra was standing near the parapet wall looking at the lamps beaming…. Aryan was standing with Neha when he saw his maami and came up to her….

Aryan: Maami… Kya baat hai? Kuch soch rahe the? ❓ Maama ki yaad aa rahi hai… 😳

Looking around at him Mrs.Malhotra smiled at him… But had tears in her eyes…. She said….

Mrs.Malhotra: Hmm… Ye pehli Diwali hai shaadi ke baad jo main tere maama ke bina mana rahi hoon… (Chuckling☺️) Aaj to das baar se bhi upar unka phone aa gaya…. (Sighing) Wahan vo akele to nahi hain, unki behen… Tumhari badi maa hain wahan… Lekin phir bhi…. Vo mujhe bahut miss karte hain… Main bhi….

Aryan: (Mischievously) Kya baat hai maami? Romance…. 😉

Hitting him on his shoulder Mrs.Malhotra said…..

Mrs.Malhotra: Chat badmaash… Romance nahi hai… Umar bhar ka saath hai… Aur is umar me wahi to mere sahare hain… Sab ke liye ek umar ke baad unki life partner unke sab kuch hote hain… Isliye to life partner kaha jaata hai….

Aryan nodded and said….

Aryan: Maami agar aap unhe itna miss karti hain to Bangaluru kyun nahi jaati? Its okay….

Looking at him sternly…. 😳

Mrs.Malhotra: Bas haan… Maine tumse kaha mujhe wahan jaana hai? Dekh…. Main aur tumhare maama umar bhar saath rahe hain, rahenge… Lekin humari doosri aur bhi zimedaariyaan hain…. Aur ab use nibhane ka waqt hai... Samjha…. 😊

Aryan nodded smiling and looked down at the lamps…. Seeing him Mrs.Malhotra thought for a while and then said….

Mrs.Malhotra: Ye diye aaj bahut achchi tarah jal rahe hain, hain naa! Itne saalon me maine itne prakash se inhe jalta hua nahi dekha….

Aryan looked at her confused…. But before she could answer Vishal came there… Seemingly hearing his mother speak he said….

Vishal: Maa… Jalaya kisne hai…. Maine aur Dipika ne… Saaaath saaaath… To itne prakash bhi kum hai! 😉

Aryan confused expression changed to one of dislikes…. Looking at Vishal and his maami he excused himself went away…. 😕

Seeing his fallen face Mrs.Malhotra chided Vishal…

Mrs.Malhotra: Vishal! Dekha bechare ka chehera utar gaya!

Vishal: Maa agar vo kuch bolta to uska chehara roz khilta… Kuch kehta nahi, isliye kehelvaane ke liye ye sab karna pad raha hai…

Mrs.Malhotra: Maltab? 🤔

Then Vishal explained his plan to Mrs.Malhotra….

Vishal: Aur maa… Such me is diye me ek ajeeb roshni hai… Mere aur Dipika ke beech ki ek naye dosti ka saakshi hai yein…

He looked at the lamps around the whole of the terrace and smiled putting and arm around his mother… 😳

His mother satisfied to have given birth to such an understanding and loving son put her head on his shoulder smiling thinking of Mr.Malhotra…. How proud he would feel when he knew what his son was!!! ⭐️

Just then there was a loud music…. Everyone turned to the source and saw that Shotgun had switched on CD player that was brought from down…. 👏

Everyone smiled and started to put out the crackers preparing for the dance…. 😛

Vishal and Mrs.Malhotra turned back… Grinning Vishal made way to the center of the terrace…. Mrs.Malhotra stood there watching the young gathering for a dance….. 🥳

Vishal grabbed Dipika's hand and started dancing…. Pulling Dipika with him who enjoyed too… The people started to surround them and they were now at the center….

Dancing Dipika looked around and saw that Aryan was at the other end of the group with Boxer and Haseena….

Just then he looked at her and immediately looked away… Dipika stopped dancing wondering what was wrong… Aryan seemed upset about something…. 😕

At the other end of the group…. A little upset Aryan was looking at the sky wondering… What was happening? Dipika and Vishal were good friends…. He knew… They are enjoying their time…. But what was he feeling? Why didn't he like them together? Was…

Aryan's flow of thoughts broke when someone dashed against him… Looking about he saw that it was his maami…

Immediately he said….

Aryan: Maami… Dekh ke… Kya hua? Kaheen jaa rahi thi? ❓

Mrs.Malhotra: Vo kuch nahi… Vo juice khatam ho gaya hai…. Doosra bottle laane jaa rahi hoon....

Looking around Aryan saw the Vishal, Dipika, Neha and his team dancing… Glad to go inside he volunteered….

Aryan: Aap yahan rukiye… Main leke aata hoon….

Mrs.Malhotra agreed… Aryan came down to get the juice bottle…. 😊

Dipika watched Aryan go down… Thinking for a moment she too made her way through the crowd to go down….

Vishal turned just in time to see Aryan go and Dipika follow him… This time he didn't stop because he thought it was enough troubling them…. 😳 Smiling he turned back to dance… 😉

Downstairs…. Just as Aryan opened the refrigerator to get the bottle of juice he heard a phone ring… 😕

Looking around he saw a mobile on the sofa tea table…. Curious he went and picked up the phone… He saw the name Vandana flashing on the screen… It was Vishal's mobile….

Where had he heard the name Vandana? ❓

Wondering he attended the call and was about to saw "Hello" when he heard….

And what he heard shocked him…. 😲

"Easy Vandana… Ab kahan bhaagogi…. Special Squad itne hoshiyaar nahi hain.... Dekha sab diwali manane chale gaye... Tum bhi jaogi apne naani ke maasi ke paas" 😈

A stunned Aryan looked at the phone... He started to speak into the phone to ask for details when he stopped... If he could hear the voice other side they can hear him too... Which means some Vandana's life may be in danger.... 🤢

He thought quickly.... What astonished him was the mention of Special Squad... Which means it dealt with the present case they were dealing.... Then he remembered who Vandana was….

There was a crashing sound and a scream from the phone.... 😲

Aryan thought hastily... Immediately keeping the phone down he took the day's newspaper and scanned the headlines... There it was... The report about the Special Squad case and the Juhu residents and their addresses... He noted Vandana's house praying she must be in her house.... 😳

He turned to go back up and inform his team and thought about the celebration going on... By the time he stopped them and got his team it may become late... So he decided to go himself.... 😉

Immediately he ran out of the room grabbing the car keys from the key stand near the door... Just as he rushed out of the hall Dipika came down....

Dipika looked into the hall and saw no one there... Just as she was about to go into the one of the rooms she heard.....

"Chod do mujhe... Maine tumhara kuch nahi kiya" 😭

Dipika stared at the source of the sound and stunned looked at the phone... She saw Vandana's name flashing on the mobile screen.... Shocked she hit her head realizing that Vandana was going to become the third victim....

Before she could even pick up the phone she heard a squeal of tires.... She ran to the door... She was just in time to see Aryan's face at the driver's seat of the car and the car drive off....

She understood that Aryan had heard Vandana and was going to Juhu right now.... Running out to the porch she called out....

Dipika: Aryan! Aryan! 😲

Stamping her foot Dipika ran back to the terrace to inform the others about Vandana and Aryan.......

In the terrace the celebration was going on in full swing.... Everyone was dancing to the tunes of the changing songs in the CD.....

During the middle of such a rocking song….

Zubin was dancing with Neha when someone dashed against him….

Immediately he traveled back into time to the day when he dashed with a girl at Dipika's dandiya function…. From that moment he hadn't able to get her off his mind… He had secretly made one ID kit of her and had it at home… 😉 He knew he could do some search for her but felt shy about it…. 😳

He thought about that girl and stared at the person who had dashed him…. He mouth fell open because the person who dashed him was the same girl…. 😲

The song plays only in the ears of Zubin and that girl😳

Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
HOh, Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Dil ko banade jo baatang saanse,
Yeh teri woh hawayein hai
Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Oh ho ho oh Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Dil ko banade jo baatang saanse,
Yeh teri woh hawayein hai


Zubin remembers the moment in daniya night when he met her first….. He keeps looking at her as if she was a dream! 🤪

Aaye aaisi raat hai jo,
bahut khush naseeb hai
chaahe jise duur se duniya,
woh mere kareeb hai
Kitna kuch kehana hai
phir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kahein
Sapno mein jo roz kaha hai woh
phir se kahun ya nahin
Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Oh ho ho oh Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Dil ko banade jo baatang saanse,
Yeh teri woh hawayein hai


Both of them start to round looking at each other not oblivious of the blarring rock song around them…. The girl shies seeing him….☺️

Tere saath saath aaisa koi noor aaya hai
Chaand teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai
Teri nazaro ne dil ka kiya jo hashar, asar yeh huwa
Ab inme hi doob ke ho jaoon par, yeh hai duwa
Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Oh ho ho oh Aanhko mein teri ajab ajab si aadayein hai
Dil ko banade jo baatang saanse,
Yeh teri woh hawayein hai


Zubin gave her a sheepish smile and looked like his birthday had come early or so! Well not birthday but maybe marriage! 😉

The girl was a little distance to him looking at him and shying…. Fluttering her eyes they took a step 😍 towards each other when there was a crashing noise of the terrace door banging against the wall…. 🥺

Everyone stopped dancing and saw a breathless Dipika at the door… 😳

Zubin turned his head to look at the commotion… One glance he gave back at the girl, he was astonished…. She was gone! Again! He tried to search her, but he crowd started pressing towards the door and he too thought it better to go there! 😒 😭

Vishal turned hands in the air, in the middle of a dance step… Seeing Dipika disheveled and shaken like that he immediately rushed to her…. 😕 The whole team came up to her….

Catching Dipika by the shoulders Vishal steadied her and asked worried….. 😕

Vishal: Dipika! Kya hua? Kya baat hai?

Steadying herself and between short gasps Dipika tried saying something…. But because of the blaring music she was intelligible…. Irritated Vishal shouted……

Vishal: Are koi us music ko band karo! 😡

Immediately someone switched off the CD player….

Turning back to Dipika he asked again….

Vishal: Dipika! What's the matter?

Dipika: Vishal…. Vandana… Is… Is the third victim….

Shocked the whole team looked at each other and realized the danger…. 😲

Dipika was continuing….

Dipika: Aryan has gone to save her….

The team was even more shocked at this… Aryan was still not healthy to tackle anyone alone….. Also facing a maniac serial killer was going to be tough…. 🤢

Vishal: What? Kahan? 😲 ❓

Dipika: I… Don't know… Shayad uske ghar! Tumhare cell me uska… Uska call aaya! 😕

Vishal handed over a still breathless and shaken Dipika to his mother and ran down…….. Without wasting another second the team except Neha ran after him…..

Neha looked at her watch and gasped…. It was three already…. Hastily she started closing all the windows… Looking back she shouted….. 😡

Neha: Ajay! Ajjay!

She turned back to her system and shut it down… Opening the drawer the grabbed her bag out of it and stood up….. Irritated she again turned back to call out to Ajay when she saw him coming from his cubicle eating an apple…… Apple!?!?!?!

Neha rolled her eyes and said to him sternly….. 😔

Neha: Ajay kab se bula rahi hoon…. Der ho jayenge! Hume paanch baje wahan hona chahiye….. I have to go home, get the things and leave….. Jaldi chalo….

Coolly inserting his hands in his pant pocket Ajay leaned on Zubin who had just come in… He said munching the apple….

Ajay: Neha itni bhi jaldi kya hai? Aaraam se jaaoo….

Neha looked at him bewildered…. What the??? Was he joking? Did he forget what day was today? 🤓

Neha: Ajay bhool gaye ki hum shaam ko kahan jaa rahe hain? 😔

Ajay: Tchch… Neha… (He came over and pulling his hands out of his pocket, put it around her and said) Pata hai… Sab pata hai…Isliye to keh raha hoon…. Tum log jitni koshish karni hai kar lo… Jitni haldi chandan lagani hai laga lo… Lekin shaadi me chaane waala dulha hi hai!

He said biting into the last of what was left of the apple……

Neha spun at him wondering what he was getting at….. Seeing her confused looks Ajay said…. 😕

Ajay: Aise kya dekh rahi ho? Such hi to kaha maine…. Kal Boxer hi bahut achcha dikhne waala hai…. Handsome and dashing… Haseena uske saamne okay….

Ajay indicated an okay expression with his hand…..

Neha now caught on to what Ajay was saying…. Folding her arms across her chest she shrugged of his arm from her shoulder and said…. 😡

Neha: Ajay shayad tumhe ab doctor ki zaroorat hai…. Sabko pata hai ki ladkiyaan khoobsurat hain…. Ladkon se! So obviously shaadi jaise mahoul me to vo aur bhi sundar lagengi…. And Haseena ke baare me hum sab jaante hain… She is an angel! Tum logon ko actually khaas care lena hoga Boxer ke liye taaki vo Haseena ke saamne pheekha na pad jaye….

Ajay: (Raising his eyebrows) Oie… Oie… Nakhare?!?? 😆 Are tum logon ko nakhare dikhana hi aata hai… Tum log itniiiiiii der lagate ho taiyaar hone me, phir bhi okay lagte ho… But we guys take less time and girls flock us….. Aur to Boxer bhai hain bahut smart naa…. Aur ye sabko pata hai ki Islam boys are more handsome than girls! 😳

Neha: (Smirking at him) Hello… Saheb... Sapna dekh rahe ho…. Humari khoobsurati par hi to aap sab fida hote hain… To yahi saakshi hai naa ki koun bahut smart and beautiful hai! ⭐️

Vishal and Dipika came out of their cabins to go home when they saw Ajay, Zubin and Neha at her place…. Looking at each other they wondered! Weren't they leaving? It was already getting late….. 🤔

Both of them came up to Neha's place in time to hear Ajay say….

Ajay: Ho ho… Madam… Agar dekhne ke liye hum nahi hote to aapka sajna dhajna sab waste hai! Samjho! 😈

Dipika: Kya ho raha hai? (Looking at Neha) Neha jaana nahi hai? Mrs.Iqbal ne hume khaaskar jaldi aane ko kaha hai… Function paanch baje shuru hone waali hai aur tum log yahan guppe maar rahe ho? 😳

Neha: Dipika…. Hum guppe nahi maar rahe…. Is Ajay me thodi akal bharne ki koshish kar rahi hoon….

Saying she explained all that Ajay had said and her responses to them… After hearing it all Dipika smiled and said….. 😉

Dipika: Ajay such hi to keh raha hai Neha!

Hearing this Ajay and Zubin looked at each other stunned… Even Vishal who heard everything thought that Dipika would side the girls, but instead she was talking for them!

He looked on at her with a confused smile…. 😊

Neha: (Eyes widening) Dipika! Tum bhi?!?!? 😲

Interrupting her Dipika said with a triumph smile….

Dipika: Tchch… Neha... Suno to… Agar hum ladkiyaan sajte nahi, savarte nahi to ye ladke dekhenge kya? Poor guys… We are doing it for them only naa… Warna ye kya khoobsurat dekhenge? Nature's?!?!? I don't think so! Kyun sahi kaha naa? 😆

Grinning Neha nodded and raised her eyebrows at a crestfallen Ajay and Zubin… Now with Dipika telling something how was he to retort?

But to save the prestige of men there was this person naa….. Vishal shaking his head went up to Ajay and putting a hand over his shoulder said…. 😔

Vishal: Aww…. Come on Dipika… Ye kya baat hui? Humari billi humi se meow? Tum log sajte ho apne liye… Humne thodi kaha hai? Waise theek hi to hai... Agar tum log sajte nahi to shayad koi aapko dekhta nahi.... 😈

Ajay looked at Vishal seeing him retort like that... Vishal grinning winked at Ajay who also reciprocated with a grin! 😃

Dipika: Are wah… Ab ye kya baat hui! So you don't mind!!!!!!! Is it??? (Thinking) Hmmm…. To test karein…. Ki koun kiske upar fida hota hai? 🤪

Vishal and Ajay looked at each wondering what was the test…

Even Neha looked at Dipika who just gave a nod smiling….. 😉

Vishal raised his eyebrows asking whether they should take it… Ajay thought for a while, gave a nod too accepting….

Vishal: (Looking at Dipika) Theek hai… Kya test??? 🤔

Dipika: Theek hai… Boxer aur Haseena…. Unhi se to ye topic hi shuru hui… To unhi par ye challenge bhi aaz maate hain…. Kal Boxer aur Haseena ki shaadi hai… Right? To unhe dance bhi karna hoga shaam ki party me…. Ab ye challenge hai ki Boxer pehle Haseena se poochta hai dance ke liye ya Haseena! Kyun, accepted? 😍

Neha looked at Dipika and grinned…. This was going to be fun….. Everyone knew that both of them were literally head over heels in love with each other…. So it really would be a challenge to note who asked whom first! 👍🏼

Vishal looked at Ajay with a long glance….. Both of them thought a while then with a firm face nodded…..

Vishal: Right! We accept…..

Dipika: (Intervening) Lekin ek shart!

Ajay: Shart? Kaisa shart? 😕

Dipika: Well… Hum me se koi nahi batayega Boxer aur Haseena ko is challenge ke baare me… It would be spontaneous…. We would just watch… Of course dance karne ke liye unhe keh denge…. Bas! What say? 👍🏼

Ajay looked at Vishal doubtfully…. He knew how much Boxer liked Haseena…. And his first love too… He would do anything…. So Ajay was a bit doubtfull… But Vishal assured him and turning back to Dipika said…. 😉

Vishal: Fine! Agreed… It's a promise…. Tum log bhi promise ko rakhoge! 😈

Dipika and Neha nodded….

Dipika: Ab chalein! Isi baat me der ho gayi…..

Looking at his watch Vishal exclaimed..... 😲

Vishal: Haan…. Mr.Iqbal aur Aamir aa bhi gaye honge…. Maa to mujhe daantke hi maar degi…. She told me a thousand times to come soon….

The group made way to the entrance…..

Ajay: Neha main bike nikaalta hoon… Jaldi aana!

Looking at him with a stern face Neha said….

Neha: Of course not! Ab humare beech ek challenge hai… Jab tak vo khatam nahi ho jaata we don't talk…. Isliye main Dipika ke saath Haseena ke ghar jaa rahi hoon... Waise maa ne tumhara bag subah hi bhejh diya hai... To tum use lekar Vishal ke ghar chale jaana.... Bye! Chalo Dipika! 😳

Saying she marched out of the office… Dipika looked at an stunned Ajay… Smiling she bade bye to Vishal and went up to catch up with Neha…. 😊

Solemnly Vishal patted Ajay's back… Shrugging he, Vishal and Zubin started out of the office….. 😉

When Vishal, Ajay and Zubin entered Vishal's house it was already in a festive mood…. 🥳

Ajay and Zubin headed directly to Boxer who was seated in a stool at the center of the hall… He looked like a goat about to be slayed… He eyed the things placed in front of him and made a face…..

Ajay and Zubin took a look at the wet cat (Bheeghi billi) and burst out laughing…. 🤣

Aryan and Shotgun were already there trying to cheer him up, but in vain….. 😕

Vishal saw Mr.Iqbal and Aamir talking to his mother… He went over and greeted them….

Vishal: Maa… 😛 🤗

He said giving her a small hug…. Mrs.Malhotra looked at him sternly and said….. 😳

Mrs.Malhotra: Phir se der! Vishal aaj tumhare dost ki function hai aur tum khud…. 😡

Seeing her scold Mr.Iqbal and Aamir smiled… They knew Mrs.Malhotra as well as they knew Vishal… She was a sweet, caring lady…. And her whole world revolved around Vishal and his dad, her husband, Mr.Virender Malhotra….. ☺️

Interrupting her Vishal said….

Vishal: Maa… Ab bas please… Uncle hain…. (Turning to Mr.Iqbal) Hello Uncle… Hai Aamir…. 🤗

He gave them hugs and asked…..

Vishal: So everything ready… Jaise aapne kaha? 😉

Mr.Iqbal said in his usual booming military voice…..

Mr.Iqbal: Of course… Aur humare daamad ji bhi ready hain…. Bas ladkiyon ki kami thi, ab vo bhi aa gaye…. 😛

Vishal looked around at the girls surrounding Boxer…. Two of them around the age of twenty… They were the daughters of the deli owner where the special squad team dined….. They often came to the deli to assist their father and the whole of the special squad team adored them…. They were very sweet and loving…. The girls too knew Boxer well and they considered him like a brother…. 😳

It was Dipika's idea to ask them to perform the rituals on behalf of Boxer's side…. They had readily agreed and their parents too…

Mrs.Malhotra: Ab jao… Change karke aao… We have to start the function… Der ho rahi hai…. 😳

Vishal nodded and went off upstairs to change….

After a while when he came back down he saw that that the ritual had started…. Smiling he went and sat on the sofa opposite to Boxer…. 😊

The girls, Mrs.Malhotra, Mrs.Desai, Mrs.Chatterjee were all applying sandal paste, turmeric paste on Boxer's body…. He was shying so much that Aryan, Ajay, Shotgun and Zubin stood around him teasing him making him blush more…. Mr.Iqbal and Aamir were standing around giving instructions as to how to take it further…. 😆

Grinning he thought about Boxer's state when they would apply Mehndi! 😃

Everything was going very fine and grand.… Since Boxer had no one Mr.Iqbal and Aamir had decided to be from his side, doing all the rituals…. 😊

Boxer was staying with the Malhotra's and Aryan for the past week…. He had already sold his house…. But Haseena still had no idea of the new house Boxer had bought for her… Only last week the house was finished…. Boxer was satisfied with it and everyone knew that Haseena would fall in love with the place the instant she set foot in it…. 😍

Vishal smiled thinking about the celebration going on….

He wondered what was happening at Haseena's house!? He at leaat knew this that with Dipika, Neha and Jerina Haseena would be having a tough time…. 😳 😆

Vishal sighed… He looked at Aryan leaning on Ajay indicating to Mrs.Malhotra to apply more paste on poor Boxer's face….. 😃

He thought back about the last celebration that was held at his house…. On Diwali…. It had turned into a nightmare for everyone…. 🤢

He recollected the aacount Aryan had given them later in the hospital….

Vishal, Ajay, Boxer, Shotgun ran down the stairs…. Coming down the stairs Vishal shouted out instructions….. 😲

Vishal: Ajay, Boxer… Apni gaadi nikalo… Aryan zaroor meri gaadi le gaya hoga… Fast…

Saying Vishal ran inside the hall… He saw his phone lying on the tea table… Picking it up he kept it on his ears… No sound… The call had disconnected…. He started to hurry out but as an afterthought he ran up to his room….

He came back down carrying his gun checking for the ammunition…. Mrs.Malhotra, Dipika and Neha were in the hall….. Mrs.Malhotra was giving water to Dipika…. Looking at him come down Mrs.Malhotra called out concerned…. 😕

Mrs.Malhotra: Vishal!

Stopping for a second…..

Vishal: Maa… Ghabarayiye mat… Sab kuch theek ho jayega…. 😊

He gave a reassuring hug to his mom… Releasing immediately he looked at Dipika and Neha and with an assuring nod he ran out of the house….


When Aryan reached Fifth Street it was a blast… Everywhere there were diwali celebration going on… He tried coming into the street, but saw that people were bursting crackers all over it…. At this rate it would be difficult to stop and ask for house number 56…. So he parked the car at the street entrance and took foot….

He immediately scanned the number of the house near by…. 25…. He hurried up and saw the next number, it was increasing…. He immediately ran through the pavement… Slowed by some people getting in and out of their houses….

He finally stopped outside a house…. Number 55…. He cautiously caught his breath and slowed his walk to stealth….. 😔

He saw the gate of the house slightly ajar… Hoping nothing happened to that girl Vandana he moved in slowly…. He knew his foot steps would be muffled by the cracker blasts outside…. But still he didn't want to take any chances….

He neared the house and saw that lights were on in the ground floor… The first floor was dark… He slowly moved to the main door and kept his ear on the door… No sound….

He thought of trying to open the door but decided against it….. Who knew what was the state inside??? So he scanned the house and saw that there was a path leading to the back… He took it…

Just as Aryan rounded the house he saw light streaming out from a window of the ground floor… He stopped to have a look in and his eyes widened in shock… 😲

The room inside looked like the hall… A girl was strapped to a dining chair, hands and legs tied…. Her face clearly terrified….. 😭

A man was standing besides her smoothing his finger around her neck…. In his left hand he held a metal beaded scarf! 🤢 He seemed to talking something to the terrified girl… He moved behind her chair facing away from the chair still talking….

Tears streaming down her face the girl glanced around…. Seeing Aryan's face peeping she started to open her mouth when Aryan shook his head vigorously…. The girl closed her eyes for a moment and looked back at the man behind her scared….

She felt a bit relaxed… From outside Aryan indicated to the girl to keep talking to the man… The girl nodded a little….

Just at that moment the man turned around and Aryan immediately hid himself….

He stood there thinking of all the possible ways to enter the house…. There would definitely be a back door to the house… But if he used that there was all possibility that the man could hear him and a minute would be enough for him to…. He shuddered thinking about he scarf…. It was looking deadly! 😈

Aryan moved around the house stealthily looking up… Near to the back Aryan saw what he wanted… There was a balcony… He looked about and saw pipe going near to the balcony… Without a second's thought Aryan was up the pipe….

As Aryan had expected the pipe was not so near to the balcony railing… He stretched to catch the railing…. But finally after stretching to the maximum he reached the railing and got in…

Immediately an excruciating pain shot up his stomach… He doubled a little wondering what the pain was? 😒 Then he realized that the doctor had said him not strain… So the strain was wearing him out and was now affecting the weaker part of him, his stomach….

He straightened.… The pain had lessened… But now more important was the girl's life down… He went up to the door and looked at it…. It was the type of lock that could be opened from inside only…. Frustrated Aryan looked about and saw a window close to the door….

He looked about the balcony and saw some pots kept there… He took out a stone from it and waited a while…. He was timing for a cracker burst…. Fortunately just then somewhere someone had started a continuous cracker…. Using the opportunity he broke the side of the window…. The shattering of the glass was muffled by the cracker burst…. 😳

As he had expected the door lock was near to the window… He stretched in his hand through the grill and fiddled with the lock… It opened…. Sighing he retrieved his hand in the process scratching his arm…. The cut was not deep but he had started to bleed…. He used his hand to stop the flow while entering the room….

The room was dark... He stood for a second getting accustomed to the dark… He then noticed a door at the far end of the room… He slowly went over to the door and opened it... He could hear voices faintly….. 😕

Aryan went out to the landing and saw light coming from the right side…. He slowly approached the top of the stairs… Still hiding in the dark he tried to take in the situation below….

The man was now beside the girl talking to her….

Man: (Laughing a little) Mere daadi ke maama ne likha tha… Sab kuch unke note book me… Tumhari naani ki maasi se unki shaadi hone waali thi….

Aryan couldn't see Vandana's face…. That was when Aryan realized that he was weaponless… He chided himself for not bringing anything but now looked around for something hard which would help him hit the man….

Man: Lekin ek din tumhari naani maasi ne mere daadi maama ko kisi aur ke saath dekh liya tha… Unhone ne tumhare maasi ko samjhaya lekin vo maani nahi… Unme kaha suni ho gayi aur maama ne unpar haath utha diya…. Isi jhagade me unka gala pakada aur vo mar gaye…. Bechari! Mere maama ka ispar kuch dosh nahi tha…. 😈

Aryan found nothing which made him more desperate… But then he saw a porcelain vase next to him…. Thinking that something was better than nothing he pulled out the artificial flower from the vase… Keeping the flowers down he held the vase upside down like hitting…. 😕

Man: Aur phir unki vo dost…. Unpar mere maama ko to pehle se pyaar tha… Lekin vo kehti rahi dost hain… Mere maama ne ek baar unhe ghar baat karne bulaya… Vo aayi… Lekin baaton baaton me daadi maama ne keh diya ki unhone hi tumhari naani maasi ka khoon kar diya.... Ab phir unko kaise zinda chod sakte the vo... To vo bhi gayi tumhare naani maasi ke paas.... 😈

Slowly aware of the staircase and the noises it could make Aryan came down…. 🤔

The man moved slightly and Vandana's eyes fell on the Aryan coming down the stairs…. Aryan immediately laid a finger on his lips indicating her to go on talking… Stunned a little she thought hastily and said….

Vandana: Lekin mere naani maasi ki padosan…

The man laughed maniacally…… He looked down at her and said…. 😡

Man: Nosy neighbor she was…. Unhe mere maama par shak hone laga… Iske baare me pooch taach karne mere maama ki maa se baat karne aayi... Bechari uske baad humare ghar se bahar hi nahi gayi…. 🤢

Just as Aryan reached the bottom of the stairs the man twisted the scarf around Vandana's neck and swiftly moved behind her chair…. His face expression had changed…. He stared evil at Aryan and said hissing…. 😲 😈

Man: Vase ko neecho raho….

Aryan stood stunned at him wondering how he knew his presence…. But he didn't put the vase down…. The man again hissed….

Man: Maine kaha vase ko neeche daalo…. Warna abhi iska gala iske badan se door ho jayega....

Saying he tightened the scarf around Vandana's throat and she gasped a litlle…

Aryan: (Shouted) Nai… Ruko… Main daal deta hoon…

Saying he put the vase down which crashed beside him….

Man: Waheen rehenaa! Koun ho tum? 😡

Aryan kept thinking…. He needed time to handle this man… Clearly he was not in his senses… If he could just keep him talking… Maybe he could near him without him realizing…. Then he could tackle him….

Man: (Raising his voice) Maine poocha koun ho tum? 😡

Aryan: Main Aryan Khanna… Special Squad se…..

The man raised his head and laughed…. Aryan slowly started to move forward a step… The man didn't seem to notice….

Aryan: Itna hanso mat...

Looking back at Aryan the man said….

Man: Special Squad?!?!? Tum choozon ko pata chal gaya… Wah… (His expression changed back to evil) Lekin koi fayda nahi… Aaj mera maksat poora hoga… Ise (Indicating Vandana) khatam karne ke baad, tumhari baari aayegi…. Aur phir koi mujhe pakad nahi sakta..... 😈

Aryan: Tumne aisa kaise soch liya ki ek khoon karke tum itni jaldi bach jaoge?

The man stared at him hard and looked down at Vandana and said….. Aryan took another step forward…..

Man: Ye lo… Vandana ise nahi pata ki tum actually third victim ho? 😈

At this Aryan looked at him stunned and asked….

Aryan: Third victim?!?!?!

He looked at the man and at Vandana…. Laughing the man said…..

Man: Special Squad se ho, lekin ye pata nahi… Yaa linking karna bhool gaye… Vo to skeletons jo mile the sou saal puraane waalon ke saath unhe bhi maine maaraa naa! 😈

Aryan hated the look the man sported…. An evil triumph was on his face….. Thinking of how to make him talk more Aryan said….

Aryan: Lekin un sab ne tumhara kya kiya? 😒

The man looked at him strangely and started talking…. He had the scarf still around Vandana's neck but his hold had slackened a bit….

Man: Bigada??? Kuch nahi… But it was fun! 😲

Aryan's thinking process stopped… Fun?!?!? He said killing was fun???? What the heck???? 🤢 😡

The man was still talking…. Aryan took two tentative steps forward….

Man: Maine pada… I read my daadi maama's notes… It was excellently written… He was actually a writer you know… Isiye unhone in sab murders ke baare me kitna achcha likha…. I liked it…. I dreamt it… And now I am reliving my maama's work….. He would be happy you know! 😛 😕 🤢

Then it striked Aryan…. This man had read those notes so many a times that he had started to live that era…. Started to live his uncle's life…. In fact started to even murder unconsciously… He had so much enjoyed the work that he was trying to re live the horrors again which was actually a pleasure to him…. The mere thought sickened Aryan! 🤢

Aryan: Tumhe khoon karke mazaa aata hai? ❓

The man who was looking straight ahead looked back at Aryan straight in his eyes… The eyes sent shivers down Aryan's spine…. He composed himself...

The man seemed not to notice that Aryan had neared him….

Man: Mazaa?!?!? (Smiling) Are iska satisfaction hi alag hai…. 😊 🤢 Aur tumhe pata hai ki maine pichle do khoon ke baare me apne diary me likha bhi hai… Ghar jaake iske baare me bhi likhoonga… Sou saal baad isi tarah koi ye padega…. He too would want to relive the years again…. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!?!?! (His face expression changed) Ab baatein bahut ho gayi… Tum waheen dekhte rehenaa, my one witness for the last show…. 😈

Saying he smiled evilly and tightened the scarf around Vandana's neck with Aryan watching helpless…

Aryan knew that the moment he took a step forward it would be Vandana's last moment alive…

Thinking hastily Aryan gave out a cry clutching his arm where he had scratched and doubled over… The man stopped and looked at Aryan doubtfully… 🤔

Man: Oie…. Natak band kar….. Utho seedha khada ho…. 😡

But Aryan knelt on the floor and clutching his arm…. He mumbled as if in pain…. 😵

Aryan: Naatak nahi… Such me… Mera haath… Dard… Kar… Raha…. 😭

Saying Aryan showed the man his right arm which was bleeding slightly…. Aryan who was doubled over saw through side glance at the man look at the wound with a doubt…. 😉

Seeing his chance Aryan immediately pulled the chair's leg Vandana was sitting…. 👍🏼

The scarf slid over Vandana's face, over her head, scratching a little on her neck…. The chair toppled sideways… Vandana winced at the impact…. But the pain was definitely more better than death…. 😕

The man was momentarily distracted with the turn of events…. But he immediately composed himself and with a rage lunged at Aryan's throat aiming the scarf… 😡

In a swift motion Aryan moved and picked a porcelain piece from the floor…. Just as the man reached him he lashed out… The piece cut behind the man's right wrist and in the pain the scarf slid from his hand…. 👏

Aryan got his chance and punched the man…. But the man too was an equal match for him…. Aryan kicked him, punched him but the man too fought back…. Aryan knew that the man was wearing out… A little more punches and he knew the man would be out cold…..

On the floor Vandana watched all that was happening… It was terrifying and scary…. 🤢

But fate was against Aryan…. At one move the man punched on Aryan's stomach…. The pain started shot out through Aryan's system like never before…. It became so much unbearable that his vision started to blur…. 🥱

The man realized that Aryan was weakened…. And the reason his punch over his stomach…. Smiling he punched two more times over on Aryan's stomach…. 😈

Not able to take it more Aryan doubled over with pain but still tried to steady himself…. The man grinning evilly went back to where his scarf was…. Picking it up he came over to Aryan and wrapped it around his neck….

Seeing what was happening Vandana screamed out with all her strength…. Hoping someone would hear her above all the cracker sound….. 😲

The man jerked back Aryan making him sit on his knees…. Aryan's one hand shot up to his neck holding the scarf and with the other hand he tried to claw at the man above him… But it was impossible…. 😭

Aryan's throat started to contract… His room around started to revolve and he started to gasp for his breath…. Vandana's scream faded…. He saw nothing…. His eyes closed…. 🤢

Faintly he heard a shot ring out…. The grip around his throat slackened…. His eyes fluttered opened a little…. Hazily the last thing he saw was Boxer and Ajay bursting in to the hall…. With Dipika and Neha close behind them….

He fainted…… 😵

Neha took a large share from the bowl and smeared it on Haseena's left cheek, while Dipika did the same on Haseena's right cheeks…. Haseena made a face and said.….

Haseena: Ye tum dono kya kar rahe ho? Itnaaaa lagata hai koi? (Looking at her Ammi pleading) Ammmiiiiiii…. 😔

But Mrs.Iqbal looked at her daughter shaking her head indicating Neha and Dipika…. Meaning today was her friends' day and she had no say in it…. 😃

Dipika and Neha looked at each other and grinned…. Neha then taking more sandal wood paste from the bowl applying it on Haseena's arms said….

Neha: Haseena tumhe kal maha khoobsurat lagna hai… Jeetna jo hai….. Isliye ye sab zaroori hai… Ab chup chaap baitho aur hume apna kaam karne do….. 😳

Confused Haseena asked…..

Haseena: Jeetna?!?!? Kya jeetna hai? Koi yudh ladne jaa rahi hoon ki shaadi karne? 😳

Neha looked at her raising her eyebrows and Haseena flushed at the thought of her itself mentioning her marriage…. 😵

At the other end Dipika stared at Neha and shook her head… Neha nodded and said….. 😲

Neha: Well… Shaadi bhi to yudh se kum nahi hai naa Haseena…. Mera matlab tha ki kal Boxer ko tumhe dekhke behosh hona hai naa…. Isliye! 😉

Haseena widened her eyes and blushed a bright pink, but because of the paste it did not show…. She thought it better not to say anymore because then she would have the hell of her life with all the teasing, so she just kept mum and let them do their work… ☺️

After the paste applying ceremony, the girls all went to wash their hands to get prepared for the applying mehndi… Dipika washed her hands and went into the kitchen to help out Jerina…..

The function had started and after serving the refreshments she went and sat beside Haseena looking at the design of mehndi been applied…. 😛

She smiled at Haseena and thought….. Everything was so fine and grand…. It was Boxer's marriage tomorrow…. The whole of Special Squad was rejoicing…. The marriage of a team member after many long years…. It was a day to remember….. Which they would never forget…. [:D/]



Dipika's face saddened thinking about another day which she would never forget…. 😒

Aryan was rushed to the hospital…. Boxer and Shotgun remained behind to handle the situation in the house….

When Aryan was wheeled into The Apollo Hospital, Dr'D'Souza was waiting at the entrance, his expression stern….. Dipika had phoned him ahead explaining the situation…. 😕

When Aryan was taken into the special ward, Dr'D'Souza looked at Dipika, Neha, Ajay and Vishal sternly… He went in…. Sister Lovely came hurrying and looked at them reassuring and went in to assist the doctor….

Half an hour later Dr.D'Souza came outside giving instructions to sister Lovely…. After a while Sister Lovely went back in and Vishal asked anxiously….

Vishal: Doctor Aryan kaisa hai? ❓

Dr.D'Souza turned at the team and said angrily…

Doctor: Maine kaha tha tum logon se that he shouldn't strain himself…. How many times to warn you guys? Coma koi ordinary baat nahi hai…. Get into it then your life becomes like walking on a knife…. Physically Aryan might seem fit, but mentally he is not… I told you he needs full rest! 😡

Dipika became upset at this and asked in a fearful tone….

Dipika: Uncle… Ab Aryan kaisa hai? Please…. 😕

Seeing her upset face the doctor calmed a bit and said….

Doctor: Dipika beta he is fine now… Thodi der me use hosh aa jayegi… Lekin please beta you have to be careful…. Aise hi strain kiya to I am sorry he may slip into coma again and this time it may become worse…..

At this the team gasped and looked at each other fearful….. Scared Dipika spoke out…

Dipika: Uncle!!!!

Placing a reassuring hand on Dipika's shoulder Dr.D'Souza said…..

Doctor: Just be careful…. That's all I can say! Aakhir hum human hain God nahi!

The doctor smiled faintly and nodding to the others left…. 😳

Dipika and the team composed themselves… At least Aryan was safe….

As for Dipika she didn't know whether she was upset or angry…. But definitely knew that she was angry more than been upset… 😡

Seeing that she didn't move Vishal went over to her and put an arm around her shoulder and said….

Vishal: Dipika! Are you alright? ❓

Dipika looked at him sideways and smiled a bit…. Nodding she went in with the team following….

When Dipika entered Aryan had regained conscious….

Aryan looked at everyone in turn and smiled…. His eyes lingered a moment longer on Dipika than the others……. 😳

Neha rushed over to him… Her eyes welled and taking his hand said…. 😕

Neha: (Whispering) Aryan! Thank God you are okay... Kya zaroorat thi wahan akele jaane ki? Tumhe kuch ho jaata to? 😭

Aryan smiled looking up at her and said in a strained voice….

Aryan: Neha… Kisi ki jaan ka sawaal tha…. Jab tak main tum logon ko bulata der ho jaati naa…. Anyways alls well that ands well…. So I am fine now! 😊

Neha nodded and smoothed his hair back…. She helped him prop against the pillow…

😳 Vishal came forward with a grin and said…. 😃

Vishal: Kyun Aru? Raha nahi gaya naa, teri hero giri dikhane se? Controoool nahi hoooota, kyun? 😉

Aryan chuckled a bit and asked….. 😆

Aryan: Waise kya hua tha? 🤔

Coming forward Ajay said….

Ajay: Tumhari jaan bachchi…. Hum Vandana ke gate ke andar aa hi rahe the ki we heard screams…. Main aur Boxer darwaaza kholne ki koshish kar rahe the.…. But it was taking time aur the screams were getting worse….

Vishal: Tabhi main ghar ke side gaya to window se dekha ki that man was trying to choke you to death…. Jab tak hum kholke andar aate it would have become late, so I had no choice but to shoot him….

Aryan: (Stunned) What? You shot him!?!?? Maltab…. 😲

Ajay: Matlab ki vo gaya…. For good!

Aryan nodded and looked at Vishal…. In his life…. In school, college he had never thought that Vishal would save him…. But now he had…. And that made a difference! ⭐️

Aryan: Thank you Vishal…

Vishal looked at Aryan stunned…. In his life…. In school, college Aru had never said thanks to him…. Well circumstances do change… And that made a difference! ⭐️

Vishal just nodded smiling….. 😊

Aryan looked around and saw Dipika who was standing a little away…. That was when he realized that she hadn't spoken to him from the time she had come……..

Vishal looked at the direction and saw Dipika staring down at Aryan…. Thinking something he went over and whispered to her…. 😉

Vishal: Dipika Aryan se jaake baat karo!

Dipika looked at him sternly and walked slowly to Aryan's side… 😳

Seeing her look Aryan knew that she was really very angry at his act…. He started to open his mouth to reason with her but Dipika was quick enough for him and said….

Dipika: Safaai mat do Aryan! This time you have gone too far.... Kya zaroorat thi wahan aise jaane ki? Hume inform karne me kitni time lagti? If we hadn't come on time…. 😕

Dipika stopped her tirade not able to continue further…. Because what she was about to say was what she didn't want to happen! Oh why!?!?! Why the heck didn't he understand their feelings…. His life was more worth than he thinks! But he…. 😒

Vishal looked at Neha and indicated… She nodded and everyone else left the room…. They knew that a big storm was in the brew… But most important they wanted Dipika and Aryan to sort the things themselves…. 😊

Aryan: Dipika… Kisi ke jaan ka sawaal tha…. Thodi der bhi ho jaati to shayad Vandana bachti nahi…. 😕

Intervening him angrily Dipika said….

Dipika: Aur agar hum thodi der ho jaati to tumhe kuch ho sakta tha!

Aryan smiled a bit and said…. 😊

Aryan: Dipika… Kya farak padta hai? Waise agar…. 😉

This time Dipika raised her voice and interrupting him said…. Aryan looked at her shocked….. 😲

Dipika: Stop it Aryan! Stop will you! Don't tell that know one cares about you Aryan! Never again tell that…. Hum log to tumhari aankhon me kuch nahi hain…. Main, Neha, Ajay, Boxer, Pooja Aunty… Hum sab tumhari fikar karte hain… Tumhare liye ye sab, kuch nahi…. Agar tumhare liye ek family hi sab kuch hai to iska matlab hai ki tum jo kehte ho naa ki you dedicated your life for the society vo sab jhooth hai! 😡

Aryan stopped her sternly and said….

Aryan: Dipika! That's not right! Tum kya….. 😳

Dipika: (Sternly) No Aryan! Ab aur nahi…. Tumhe ye obsession chodna hoga…. Think and act practically…. Agar tum aise hi karte rahe to mujhe… (She paused for a bit thinking whether she had to tell it…. She decided she would have to!) Mujhe tumse kehne ke liye kuch nahi hoga…. 😲 😭

Saying this Dipika stormed out of the room… She directly went over to reception without looking at anyone…… 😵

Inside the room Aryan looked at her frowning…. What did she mean by "Mujhe tumse kehne ke liye kuch nahi hoga…." He tried to understand what she wanted to say, but failed….

Vishal and the others were standing near the door waiting for their talk to complete….

When Dipika had stormed out and left without saying anything to them…. They wondered…. Vishal noticed her been upset and ran after her calling out!

Vishal: Dipika! Dipika! 😲

Ajay and Neha looked at each other worried and slowly went inside, wondering what the matter was..... 🤔

Dipika ran down the stairs to the reception area and the parking lot…. Her eyes had welled when she had said it… Her heart had ached… She loved him to the extent where she never could see him in pain… So the question of him been in danger of life never arises….

After the team had left she couldn't think of staying behind at Vishal's house…. So she and Neha had driven off to Juhu…. Come what may she wanted to be there! And when she saw him faint in the house she had literally fainted…. What was her feeling before, when Aryan was shot she had not known… But now when she knew it, she realized that she had started to become protective of him…. 😕

At the parking lot just as Dipika was to get into her car Vishal pulled her from behind…. He saw that she was visibly upset and asked concerned…..

Vishal: Dipik…. 😳

He stopped because not able to hold any longer Dipika held him and started to cry…. Between her sobs she said….

Dipika: He will never understand Vishal…. He never will! 😭

Soothing her back Vishal in turn got angry at Aryan…. He decided to himself that it was high time to talk to him…. He consoled Dipika…. 😕



The high time never came…. 😕

From the next day Special Squad had to handle a very tough case regarding a murder conspiracy which led to arms smuggling…. The case had lasted more days than usual… Just three days ago they had wrapped up the gang…. So Vishal never had even the time to go home…. 😔

As for Dipika… She too had become busy with the case on one side and Boxer's house's interior decorations on the other side and the marriage amongst all… She and Neha bought all the furnitures and items for the house according to Haseena's taste…. 😛

They also assisted Boxer in shopping clothes for his in-laws family… He had taken up that responsibility…. So she barely had half hour in the mornings to go and see Aryan… She was still upset and angry but realized that she wouldn't be able to stand long without seeing him…. She didn't talk to him much, though Aryan wanted to…😒


Case Closed!!!!!!!!! 👏

It came to be known from Vandana that the man was actually he real estate agent who had helped her buying the house… He had since then decided her as the target…. But had waited for the day to come…. The man had actually got the diary around seven years ago when he had visited his great-grand uncle's house where he lived now…. He had since then read and read it and had literally started to live those times and the murder too….. 😈

When he had heard that the backyard of Vandana's house was been dug for building a swimming pool he knew they would find the skeletons and that made a bigger challenge to him…. To let the officials know about the other two skeletons too…. He really enjoyed it….. All this was mentioned in the diary he had started to write like his great-grand uncle… They also got the hundred years old note book which was the cause for the two recent past deaths…. 🤢

He was not a maniac but a man in his fullest senses because he lived in the same locality as Vandana and people there had respected him as a wonderful, caring person! How wrong they were!


Fifteen days sped by and today was the grand function…. It was a happy occasion for all…. 🥳

Dipika came out of reverie when she felt something cold in her hands… Startled she looked down and saw that the mehndi lady had finished with Haseena and was now applying it on Dipika's hand… Smiling she looked at the beautiful design that took shape in her hands…. She loved Mehndi! 😛


Neha who was getting mehndi on her own hands from another lady looked at Dipika and sighed….

Dipika had told her about what happened in the room… She felt sad for her… But it was true if Aryan was going to become so uncontrollable it would even affect his realibility… And that would not be good for his future…. But she also understood Aryan's position… 😕

When she had casually talked to him yesterday he also seemed angry about that day… Neha knew that what Dipika said was not intended but it definitely was harsh…. And Aryan didn't like it… But what she felt when she saw him was that he too had definitely felt what Dipika wanted to say.… But still denied accepting it… And why??? The whole team was still at sea about this!
