A car at full raging speed is driving on the road. The Car is speeding at very high speed, & is driven in so much absurd manner that it could be thrown out of the road at any point. It seemed that the Driver is either drunk or mentally disturb…

Abhijeet's home

Daya is sitting on the couch & resting. When two hands appeared in front of his face, one had some tablets placed on it while other was holding a glass of water. Daya made a annoyed face after looking the medicines but when he saw those eyes looking angrily towards him, he gulped down it, without any argument & once again rested on the couch, staring blankly towards the person who was sitting opposite to him. The person was holding the file & was going through knew that the person is holding the file for just name sake, knowing him from the last 12 years, he could easily predict his state of mind. Daya cleared his throat to bring the person's attention.

Daya : Abhijeet, mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai..Tarika ke bare main..

Abhijeet : (without looking at him) Daya shayad maine yeh pehle bhi kaha hai ki, main iss mamle main baat nahi karma chahta…aur isske baaremain hum discuss na kare toh behtar hoga.

Daya : dekho Abhijeet, Main woh sab nahi janta. Main sirf itna janta hu ki tum dono main joh kuch hua hai, woh sahi nahi hai, mujhe lagta hai ki tumhare bich bohaut badi misunderstanding hui hai. Aur tumse bohaut badhi galati ho rahi hai, Tarika ko pehchaan ne main.

Abhijeet : sahi kaha tumne galati toh already ho chukka hai, badi bhool kar di maine tarika ko pehchae main. Pata nahi aisa socha kyu maine ki main aur woh …Jaane do Daya, harbhar jakham kudhrne se kuch nahi hone waala…Tum aaram karo.

Daya : nahi Abhijeet yehi tum galat soch rahe ho..Tarika mere baremain aisa kuch nahi sochti..woh toh.

As he was speaking, he was cut in words by the pesky ringing of Abhijeet's landline phone. Abhijeet quickly reached for it.

Abhijeet : Hello! Senior bol raha hu! ACP sir aap?kya hua Sir?( there was sudden change in his expressios & Daya noticed this).kya? kab? Theek hai Sir main aa rahahu….(call cut; his face bored the worried expression. Daya who noticed this, came forward & asked him)

Daya : kya hua Abhijeet? Kisska phone tha city hospital se? kya hua? Tum kuch bolte kyu nahi?

Without answering Daya's question, Abhijeet grabbed his car keys & rushed out. Daya who was watching these also followed him. Both got into the car & left from there.

City hospital

ACP is standing in the corridor waiting for the doctor when Abhijeet entered there running followed by daya.

Abhijeet (gasping ) sir.. yeh achanak se kaise? Ab kaha hai woh ?

Acp: Abhijeet shaant ho jaayo woh theek hai..jyada chot nahi aayi hai usse. She's jao usse milkar aao. ( Without waiting there for second, Abhijeet quickly moved to the room showed by acp)

Daya who was totally clue-less about the whole situation asked acp in worried tone): kya hua sir?

Acp : kuch nahi Daya, who Tarika ka chota sa accident ho gaaya.

Daya : accident? Kaise sir?

Acp : pata nahi daya. Shayad car out of control hui hogi

Abhijeet rushes into the room where tarika was kept. She was sitting on the bed lisyening to Doctor's adice,Abhijeet stormed inside the room, she was shocked to see him but didn't doctor left wid the nurse leaving both alone in the room. Abhijeet came near to her.

Abhijeet L concerned tone) Ab kaise ho tum?

Tarika : (coldly) zinda hu! Kyu takleef hui hogi na yeh jankar? ( Abhijeet was completely shocked at her this behavior. He initiated to spoke but was cut off between due to Acp's & Daya entry in the room)

Acp : kaise ho tarika? Ab theek lag raha hai na? aur tumhara accident kaise hua?

Tarika : sir woh aise hi Car thodi fast chalali..

Daya : (teasingly)tarika kahi tumhara mujhe competition dena ka irada toh nahi?

Tarika : Arre daya main aisa soch bhi sakti hu kya?

Acp : acha woh sab theek hai,tumhe aaram karne ki jaroorat hai. Abhijeet tum isse ghar chod dena..

Tarika : nahi sir main akeli chali jaoungi. Main abhi theek hu.

Daya : Tarika aaj ke liye Ek hi accident kaafi hai. Issiliye abhi hum tumhe Drop karenge. Aur yeh order hai samjhi?

Tarika : theek hai, Daya.

All left from there, Acp in his own car while Abhijeet, Daya & Tarika in Abhijeet's car. After few mins drive they arrived at tarika' got down.

Tarika's home

Tarika : ( to Abhijeet)Thanks Sir. Theek hai, Daya apna khayal rakhna..

Abhijeet : Apna khayal rakhna, aur jaroorat padhe toh phone karma..

Tarika just nodded.

After noticing that, Abhijeet is far away from car, Daya took this opportunity & sped with car from there. Abhijeet & Tarika was completely stunned over Daya's reaction, Both looked at ach other in confusion. when Abhijeet's cell beeped, it was a message from Daya, Stating that, "he has just gone to bring tarika's medicine & will be back after couple of mins."

Abhijeet informed about the message to tarika.

Tarika : jab tak Daya nahi aayega, tab tak aandar aajaiye warna aapko jhukam ho jayega..

Abhijeet followed entered insde. Abhijeet sat on the sofa while tarika headed towards the kitchen. After few mins she arrived back with glass of water & offered it to Abhijeet.

Tarika : Yeh lijiye( handing him the glass of water)Maine coffee rakh di hai. Aap yahi baithiye,main jara wound ki dressing karke aati hu..(As she was waliking towards her room,she suddenly felt things turning around her. She quickly tried to hold the edge of the sofa but failed. She was about to fall, when she was caught by her waist by Abhijeet, he took her to the room & made her sit then rushed to the kitchen & came back with water.

Abhi ( concern) tarika are you okay? ( she just noded.)

Abhi : tarika, wound ko dressing ki jaroorat hai, main kar deta hu..

Tarika : nahi, its okay,I will manage..& she got up

Abhijeet pushed her down & in strict tone : pata hai theek ho, ab yaha se hilna mat main abhi aata hu..

He started cleaning the wound, he took a cotton swab & was clearing the blood & at the same time softly blowing at the wound. Tarika was just looking at him. She was totally confused abt his behavior.

Tarika (thinking) Samajh main nahi aaraha Abhijeet ki tumhare kiss baat par yakin karu,I'm totally confused about you. Abhi thodi der pehle tumne kaha tha ki hume alag ho jaana chahiye, you hate me! Phir ab yeh sab kyu kar rahe ho? Why? Tumhi ne kaha tha ki main tumhare liye koi mayine nahi rakhti, phir yeh sab kyu kar rahe ho?

Abhijeet ( thinking) Main janta hu Tarika tum kya soch rahi ho? Yahi na ki abhi maine tum se kaha tha ki main tumse nafraat karta hu, aur hum eek dooje keliye koi maine nahi rekhte. Par phir bhi yeh sab kar raha hu, Sach kahu toh Main bhi nahi janta ki main yeh sab kyu kar raha tumhari accident hone ki khabar aayi tab ek sec ke liye aisa laga tha jaise kissine mera Dil hi mujhse cheen liya hai; Aisa mujhe pehle kabhi nahi laga..haan sirf ek baar hi aisa ehsaas hua tha jab Daya ko murda uss hospital ki Bed per dekha tha, par pata nahi uss hadse ke baad aaj pehli bar tumhare liye yeh laga…Par innsab baton ka Ab kya fayda ? Ab lagta hai, tarika inn 4 saalon main tum mujhe samajh hi nahi paayi..

Tarika (thinking) : 4 saal Abhijeet, hum dono saath the, aur aaj 4 saalon baad bhi ek dusro ke liye sirf aur sirf Anjaan hi banker rah gaya hai…Isse badi Haar humare rishte ki kya ho sakti hain? Ab toh shayad hi lagta ki sab pehle jaisa theek ho jayega..

Abhijeet & Tarika both at sametime: Ab toh nahi lagta ki humare bich ki dooriya kabhi khatam ho payegi….

Both snapped out of the thoughts due to sudden horn of a car. Abhijeet quickly dressed up the wound & moved out of the room, Tarika also followed her.

Abhijeet : Arre tumhe aaram karna chahiye than yaha kyu aayi?

Tarika : nahi, I'm okay. Tum darwaza kholo Daya aaya hoga..

Abhijeet opened the door & saw Daya standing out with medicines. Daya came in & handed medicines to her.

Daya Lordering tone) Ab yeh theek se lena. Aur sabse Important Time par lena. Jyada stress mat karna. Take Rest as..

Tarika : Daya! Mere khayal se doctor main hu. Mujhe tumhe Instruct karna chahiye, Aur yaha par tum ho ki..

Daya : acha theek hai,madam.

They stay there for sometime, drank coffee, Daya & Tarika were advised each other to take rest. After some time they DUO decide to leave.

Abhieet :apna khayal rakhna…kuch aroorat pade toh inform karna.

Tarika : hmmm

After much more debating he pressed the door there was no response, he called her, but it was swich off. he then called to bureau to check whether she was there but she was not there too. Finaally he opened the door by his pen knife & started searching her, but she was nowhere...
