Part 7:
Days were passing.Sameer was still silent.
The doctors couldn't tell when he would be
able to respond.Roshni,Riya and all ETFians
were sure that he would return soon.This was
the phase when medicine failed but the prayers,
love and care gave the only hope.Roshni used
to take good care of Sameer.She used to talk
to him.She appeared to understand what he
wanted to say.Sometimes one can understand
her close ones just by reading their eyes.
One thing was unusal.Arjun had become too
protective.Roshni thought that the responsibilites
as the ETF Chief made him like this.But it was
something else.
One day Roshni enterd Sameer's room dressed in
a white churidaar kurta with fresh flowers in her
hand.She went near the vase to change the flowers.
"Sam,dekho na Arjun bhi na.Aaj humari wedding
anniversary hai aur janab gayab hain.Wo aaj ka din
kaise bhul sakte hain",Roshni complained making a
face."Waise aaj maine sab kuch bilkul waise hi
arrange kiya hai jaisa humare wedding ke time
tumne arrange kiya tha",Roshni blushed.
"Jab Arjun aayenge tab wo bilkul surprised honge".
There was a sound of door knock."Lagta hai Arjun aa gae.
Main abhi aai Sam",Roshni happily ran towards the door.
"Tum...tum sab kaun ho...aur yahan..."Sam heard Roshni's voice.
Roshni came running in Sameer's room and hurridely closed
the door.Her eyes were red and she tried calling Arjun on phone.
Some men tried to open the door.Roshni was scared."Arjun...
please phone uthaiye...please...wo log Sam...main kya karun..."
The men were banging the door."Arjun...kuch log...guns...
Sam ki jaan khatre mein..."Roshni spoke.Then she ran and
tried to bring the things to block the door.But before she
could,the goons broke the door and entered.
"Roshniji,aap kitni bhi kosish kr lijiye pr us din ki galti
aaj wapis nhi hogi.(laughing)Us din to ACP Rathore
ki jaan bach gai pr aaj nhi...(laughing)."
Roshni spoke,"Kaun ho tum aur Sameer ko chor do.
Wo to aisi halat mein..."
"SIKANDER...main hun Sikander aur tumhare is dost
ne mere pure business ko barbaad kr diya aur ab tumhara
pati bhi apne issi dost ki raah pr chal raha hai...sabak to dena
hoga inko..."the man said angrily.
"Nhi...main aisa nhi hone dungi"
Roshni ran towards Sameer.The goons caught her.They slapped
her repeatedly.Roshni was hurt still she tried to protect Sameer.
There was movement in Sameer's fingers.
There was sound of Police Sirens.
Arjun ran inside.The goons attacked him.The ETF and Police
caught and killed several goons.Arjun came in Sameer's room.
Sikander was standing with a gun in his hand ready to kill
Sameer.Roshni was in shock.A goon held her hand.
"Sikander...agar tumne kuch bhi karne ki kosish ki
to aaj tum nhi bachoge."Arjun said angrily.He killed
the goon who was holding Roshni.
"Arjun...arjun...Sam..."Roshni spoke.
"Arjun...aaj ye nhi bachega..."Sikander fired a bullet.
Arjun fired all the bullets of his gun towards Sikander.
Roshni immediately came infront of Sameer.The bullet pierced
her heart and she fell on the bed.Her white kurta was stained
with red blood.
"ROSHNIII..." Sameer screamed.Arjun was in shock.He
couldn't move or speak anything.Roshni looked towards
Sameer.She smiled and moved her hand towards Sameer's.
"Sam...I knew you would return pr ab mujhe jana hoga.
Apna aur mere Arjun ka khyal rakhna..."She looked towards
Arjun with a smiling face.She stretched her other
hand towards him.A tear fell from Sameer's
eye on Roshni's hand and she left the world.
Sameer recovered gradually.Now he could talk,
move,express himself.No one called him
Mr.Zombie or Kumbhkaran any more.No more
decisions based on Paper,Scissors,Stones. The coffee
didn't seem to be as tasty as it used to be.
The morning sunrays didn't do the "roshni"
it did earlier.
Roshni waited for Sameer's return for so long
but unfortunately her death was the event
that gave him a new life.She wanted to hear
him,talk to him,tease him but she herself left.
Everything changed for forever but one thing
remained the same,their beautiful FRIENDSHIP...
THE END
