Story:

And two gunshots following each other and a loud "ahhh…"

And Tarika ran towards Abhijeet...

Abhijeet in one hand was holding his gun from which he had just shoot Vijay and with the other hand supporting Ankita… Tarika grabbed Ankita and Abhijeet moved towards Vijay...he checked his pulses and confirmed he is dead… he glanced towards Ankita grasping for breath and Tarika silently shedding tears...

Her called for ambulance and moved near Ankita...

She smiled…Abhijeet first time noticed she indeed has a beautiful smile… Tarika is looking at her in pain…her red salwar turning more reds with Ankita's blood…is it symbolic? Is Ankita giving back color to her life through her death…?

Ankita still now was pressing her chest now left it and folded her hand with "mu…jh..e maaf k..er dena… Ab..bhijeet jee.. aap mujhe..maaf ker dijiyega.. Tarika.. I'm sorry…"

And she closed her eyes.. Abhijeet was still silently looking at both of them Tarika hold her hand with "Ankita…aankh khuli rakho pls.."

Ankita again gave a smile with closed eyes then opened her eyes and looked at Abhijeet and this time mouthed "thank you.." without voice..

Abhijeet kneeled down beside Tarika he wants to say something when Tarika shacked Ankita with "Abhijeet yeah.."

Abhijeet just looked at Tarika, she checked Ankita's pulses and slowly laid her down on the floor…

The ambulance arrived….

After reaching bureau Abhijeet found ACP sir Salunkhe sir and Daya already there.. he revealed all the matter of how he reached there and how Vijay pointed gun towards him with

"sir Vijay ne jab gun tan lit hi to mera dhayan apne gun pey tha,usne Tarika ko bhi paker rakha tha to kuch samajh hi nahi aya..aur issi bich usne goli chala di..Ankita samne agayi aur meine bhi apne gun utha ke Vijay ko goli mar di…dono ke hi sine mey goli lagi..Vijay spot death aur nkita ne bhi 5-6 minute mey.."

He turned silent… ACP sir broke the silence with "to yeah sab Vijay ka plan tha..Tarika se badla lene ke liye aur Ankita ne saath diya Abhijeet se badla lene ke liye..per Ankita ka baap tha kaun?"

Abhijeet shrugged his shoulder.. dr Salunkhe was still now looking at Tarika who was silently standing at one corner.. he asked "Tarika tum thik ho?"

"jee sir.."

"to tum log gher jao kiu Pradyuman?"

"ha ha…daya inn dono ko gher chor do..Tarika tum kal apne gher se saman le lena filhal gher jake aaram karo.."

They both nodded and left Daya followed them silently…

They both reached the home and descended down the car.. Tarika said "Daya tum itni raat ko jake kya banaoge..aj yeahi kha ke jao.."

Abhijeet turned to Tarika, yes his old Tarika…he took a deep breath..how he missed these…

Daya thinking today the couple will need time excused and drove away hurriedly before Tarika can say anything further..

Now the couple left alone…

Abhijeet went forward unlocked the door and moved in followed by Tarika…

Tarika looked around…she had planned to decorate the house as her own wish…how she had quarreled..

"Abhijeet pink color..kya tum bhi hum bache hey?blue hoga…"

"handicraft fair hey,…mujhe jana hey..tumhe kaam hey to rehno do per mujhe to jana hy bas.."

She came out of her trance with Abhijeet's voice "Tarika tum change ker lo..guest room ki cupboard mey ek naya night dress hey.."

Tarika moved to guest room took the dress and moved to bedroom..she freshens up and came out…found Abhijeet sitting on the lounge quietly.. she cleared her throat..

Abhijeet answered as "mein dinner order ker diya.."

There is an awaked silence present between the cutest couple

After a long silence Tarika said "Abhijeet I'm sorry.."

Abhijeet smiled "sorry kiu Tarika? Mujhe aab adat hey shaq aur sawal se ghire rehna ka..aur tumne jo kiya wo ek larki ki najar se to sahi tha na…galti nahi kiya tumne.."

Tarika don't know what to answer..she moved to bedroom..Abhijeet said from behind "woha sayed Ankita ke cheeze.."

"ha pata hey..wo sab mey dekh lungi.."

Abhijeet sighed..actually he wished to drag some conversation with her..but…

He sat back and closed his yes after sometime he felt a soft hand over his shoulder. He jerked.. then found Tarika so gave a faint smile.. she sat beside him and handed him a letter..

"kya hey yah?"

"chitthi..Ankita ne likha tha tumhare liye.."

Abhijeet scowled "matlab.."

"parr lo.."

He took the letter and opened it…

Per ek family khatam ho gaya..uss family ko to pata bhi nahi tha ki unke liye jo bhagwan they woe k shaitan tha…aap logo ki criminal ki patni ko yeahi laga ki sab jhut hy aur unka dil dharkna band ker diya..ha heart failure se marr gayi wo…government ne Manoj ki sare jaydat jabd ker iya..kiuki uski sare payse aur job hi sab to dusre ki aansu aur khoon se range they.. unki ek beti bhi thi..jo tab bidesh mey archeology ki parai kr rahi thi.. Ankita Gupta…uski to jindegi ujar gayi thi..duniya mey uska koi nahi raha..nahi kuch raha..na payer ki niche jameen na sarr pey asman..

Wo bapas desh mey ayi to kal tak wo jise janti thi ki uske papa ke dost hey sab usse nafrat krne lage…deshdrohi ki beti…per uski liye uske papa tab bhi bhagwan they…uske pass koi sabot nahi tha papa ki gunegarh hone ka per begunai ke..khair choriye
