Chapter 1

A girl was standing in centre encircled by angry crowd….they were throwing pebbles and stones on her along with their harsh words….

" Maro maro…isey maar dalo….isey humlogo k bich rhne ka koi haq nai..mardalo isey"

But then came two people to defend that girl….

Man: Plz chordo meri beti ko…. Plz mat maro usey…

Woman: Meri beti nirdosh hai please mat maro isey…

But in return they too earned hits from stones and pebbles and whatever the crowd could get to hurt them…

Girl: {Screamed loudly while walking up} Naiii…

Yes…it was just a dream but a bad dream… she was breathing heavily and perspiring profusely…..She cleaned up sweat from her forehead with her hand and tried to be normal… A lady entered the room as she heard her scream….

Tarika: Kya hua Ruhana! Beta tu thik to hai na! Chillai kyu!? Koi bura sapna dekha kya!

Tarika Mishra..Ruhana's mother and a housewife… Loves her family and wants her daughter to get married forgetting her past… but it isn't so easy…. She stood with her daughter when she needed her the most… and is determined to secure future of her daughter.

Ruhana: {Hugged her mother} Maa…..

This is Ruhana Mishra …An independent girl in her early 30's… Working in IBM as PE{Project Executive}… A kind and sweet girl…. Loves her Family and holds a deep dark secret of her past… inspite of her good job and family background she still is single… but because of a dark reason… what it could be! Keep guessing

Tarika: {Caressing her back} Shhh! Calm down Roo… beta dekho main hu na tumare sath…

Ruhana: {Still scared} I know maa… bs abhi tak us baat ko bhula nai pai… aj bhi ek bure khwab ki tarah …

Tarika: {Interupped in between and cupped her face} Shhh…. Bhul jao beta…kai saal ho gye ab us baat ko… jo hona tha ho chukka…bhul jao beta…

Ruhana: Kaise bhul jau maa! Kaise bhul jau ki us baat ne mujhe aur mere parivar ko hilla k rakh diya….

Ruhana nodded and went in washroom and after 20 minutes came out and was getting ready when she saw herself In mirror….

Ruhana's Pov: Kaise bhul jau us baat ko jiski vjh se meri family ne itna sab bhukta…meri ek nsamjhi ne sab khrab kar diya… but m lucky k Maa papa ne itna sab hone k bavjood mera sath diya… par main kabhi nai bhul sakti jo ….{Then nodded her head} Nai…. Maa thik keh rhi hain…past ko sochti rahungi to future barbad ho jayga… nai…. Main sirf aur sirf ache present and future k bare mein hi sochungi….yes…

Then she moved downstairs where her mom was alresdy waiting for her….As she arrived at dining she kept a plate in front of her and served her food…Ruhana just smiled slightly and looked here and there…

Ruhana: Maa! Papa kahan hai!

Then her a voice..

"M here"

Ruhana: Good morning papa..

Abhijeet: {Kissed at her forehead}Morning beta.. {Then took his seat and Tarika served him food and she too took her place} Aur beta kaise chal raha hai tumara office?

Abhijeet Mishra ..A technical engineer.. who worked in an IT company in Dehradun but something happened in his family so he shifted from Dehradun to Mumbai…. And joined another IT company here… Loves his wife and daughter… and wants them to be happy ever and forever but life isn't so easy…

Ruhana: Its going great papa…

Abhijeet: That's really good… Afterall mera bacha itna mehnati jo hai… {Smiles}

Ruhana: {Too smiles} Hardwork to maine apse hi sikha hai…

Abhijeet:{Smiles and Tarika signals him something to which he noddes..and again starts the convo} Ruhana beta main tumse kuch baat krna chah raha tha…

Ruhana: Ji Papa kahiye na… sab thik to hai na!

Abhijeet: {Smiles lightly} Don't worry beta sab thik hai…main to tumse ye puchna chahta tha k kya socha hai tumne! I mean apne future k bare mein! Hmesha ese hi to ni chal sakta na beta..

Ruhana: {Understood} Oh toh firse aplog meri shadi kbare mein! Papa main apko aur maa ko itni baar bol chuki hun… its not possible… I mean ap khud dekhiye abtak kitne rishte aye lekin kya bhla! Nai hua na kuch! Aplog is baat ko maan kyu nai lete ki mera future mere past k vjh se kabhi thik nai ho sakta… kitna bhi koshish karlu par mera ateet… {Her eyes were moist}

Tarika: {Was too on verge of tears… Caressed her hair} Beta ese nai kehte…. Har andheri raat k baat ujala zrur hota hai…

Abhijeet: {Keeps his hand on Ruhana's hand} Han Beta.. Mujhe bhi pura qakin hai k tumari life mein firse vo roshni ki kiran aygi…vo jo tumare khushi ki vjh bnegi…. Koi to esa hoga jo tumhe tumari har baat..har khushi aur gum k sath accept krega….

Tarika: Han beta tere papa bilkul thik keh rhe hain… sab thik ho jayga… aur tumari life mein esa zur koi ayaga jo tumare har dukh har dard dur krde….tum bs himmat mat harna…bs khush raho…{Wiped her daughter's tears and hugs her}

Ruhana too hugs back her mother with a light smile thinking of what just her parents said…Here a police station in Mumbai east…. A man was interrogating a criminal while his juniors were just watching him being scared…. The man was none other than ACP Vineet Aggarwal… the biggest threat to criminals and crime world…

Vineet: Dekh akhri baar pyar se puch raha hun …btade k tune Mr. Khanna ka murder kiya hai ya nai! Dekh hmare paas sare sabut hain tere khilaf …isliye behtar yahi hoga k tu chupchap apna gunah maan le samjha!

ACP Vineet Aggarwal Mumbai police…. A brave cop who's aged around 35…. Lost his parents a few years ago in a plane crash and because he lost everyone he loved he became indifferent to life who's never afraid to die as he has no one to care for and scare of his/safety… He may present himself as a tough and fearless indifferent person but deep inside he's a kind and soft hearted person…

Criminal: Apun ne kisi ka murder nai kiyela hai sahb…apun sach bolrela hai..plz jane do apun ko… {Laughs evilly} Yahi sab sunna chahte ho na! Lekin vo kya hai na k apun tum Police vale kutton se drta varta nai hai… 2 ghanta…sirf 2 ghanta mein apun in salakhon se bahr hoga dekhna tum…. Aur kya sahb kyu itni garmi kha rhe ho! Rokra chahiye to bolo na…. jitna bologe…. Single payment …kya bolte ho! {Smiles evilly}

Ins. Shindey: {Murmers to his colleage} Isko ese nai bolna chahiye tha…ab to ye gya… {While the other person nodded}

Vineet: Sale mujhe kharidega! {hits him } ACP …..ACP Vineet Aggarwal ko? Ab tu dekh murder aur ek imandar police vale ko khridne k jurm mein kya halat krta hu teri…. Agar tere muh se tere sare gunah na uglva diye to mera naam bhi ACP Vineet Aggarwal nai…. {Then tortures him severly and badly so much that the criminal accepted his every crime..but gets unconscious due to severe torture} Shindey!

Ins. Shindey: Yes..yes sir!

Vineet: Isko hosh mein lao… aur iska byan note karke sign krvao…. Aur jab tak ye sign na kre tab tak iske torture hone mein koi kami nai honi chahiye… got it!

Ins. Shindey: {a bit scared of his anger} G…g sir….. {Saying so Vineet left the cell while Shindey again talks to his fellow colleage} Yar Madan ye ACP sir itne garm khopri k kyu hain!

Insp. Madan: Pta nai yar…. Inka upper ka mala hmesha tve ki tarah sek kyu deta hai…

Ins. Shindey: Dekhna tum inka ye sek tabhi khatam hoga jab koi esa inki life mein aye jo inke gusse ko out aur shanty ko in kre… jo hmare gussel Acp sahb ko hasna sikhae…

Insp. Madan: Han yar… par pta nai kaun hoga esa….

Ins. Shindey too nodded and then both got back to their job…

Here Ujwal Savera Orphanage…..

Chetan: Arey yar ye itni lambi gadi kiski hai! Koi aya hai kya hmare orphanage mein!

Mehul: Kar skte hain… aur mujhe pata hai ki kaun hai jo ye kam asani se kar skta hai.. {Smiles}

Sonal : So you mean!

The boy noddes yes and smiles at which his friends too smiled and nodded..then they all ran towards back garden of orphanage …there they find a girl playing cricket with other kids… she was batting and as she hit the ball ..the ball flew high and it proved to be a six with which her team won and she turned shouting with joy…..and dancing while encircled by the kids of her team…

Mehul: To di kya pak raha hai apke khurafati dimag mein?

Bulbul: Abhi abhi is Shaitani dimag mein ek khurafati idea aya hai… lekin tum logo ko bhi help krni pdegi…
