Present Day

Purvi saved the document and leaned back on chair wondering how someone could love someone to that extent that can happily destroy his life for the sake of other one. Only to this extent Abhijeet narrated his biography before admitting in hospital. She sighed deeply and get ready her camera to cover his story after this and still there was so many mysteries yet to be resolve of Abhijeet's life and what made a dignified army personnel to betrayal of country and that too he has self-confessed.

Here Abhijeet was sleeping in medicine effect on bed in the black cell that was rearranged by the commissioner. His one hand is free and medical equipment and machineries were placed on one side while his other hand was still chained with wall. He didn't agree to be free, and commissioner surrendered in front of his self-reliance. A nurse has been appointed for him as now he needed proper medic-care. In evening he was half lying admiring Taarika's earing that he sneaked at Dargah and adored.

"Taarika shaayad ab tak tumhare pyaar ki taaqat ne 20 saal mujhe zinda rakha par ab jaane ka waqt aa gya hai" Abhijeet expressed lovingly caressing the earing, "Shaayad agle janam humaari mohb'bat adhuri na rahe. Tumhe humaara wada yaad hai na muj… mujhe tumhari bahoon mein aankhri saans leni hai, jaao na Taarika, tumhara Abh…Abhijeet tumhe pukaar rha hai. Tumhari unn…unn jheel si nasheeli aankhon mein phir doobna chahta hoon main. Sukoon se sona chahta hoon jahaa koi dard nhi, koi ilzaam nhi, koi sazaa nhi. Thak gya hoon ab main Taarika ab aur bardaast karne ki… ki himmat nhi hai mujhme please aake mujhe iss dard se azaad kardo." He then added silently, "Ma-Pa, Daya inke liye toh kabka marr gya hoga main, Deshdrohi ko sazaa mil rhi hai Taarika" he repeated with injured smile, "Deshdrohi ko uski sazaa mil rhi hai"

He remembered all the tortures that he suffered here, 50 harsh lashes strokes per week, electric shocks in every fifteen days, remained starve for three days, laid down being chained on ice shield for hours till his whole nerves strained and stroked with lash in frequent intervals, for hours hanged naked upside down, private part being electrifying and stimulated, dragging fifty kilos weighs in dry hotness failing to which receive harsh stroke of pointed hunter that directly blooded his skin for initial five years of his imprisonment and caged and chained with thick chains in black cell.

He didn't struggle during tortures seems he himself opt for this life and punishing himself soulfully. Commissioner too with heavy heart ordered for these tortures as he internally knew he can't commit such a drastic crime; he would sacrifice his life happily for his country rather than sell its crucial security information to terrorist and planned such a tragic bomb blast.

Taarika was arranging files climbing on ladder instructing peon. Abhijeet saw her while crossing the record room and leaned on doorstep admiring her beauty. He lost completely in her beauty admiring her wearing a smile, when sided the peon secretly and himself began hand overing the files to Taarika in same trance. Taarika unknowingly kept instructing him and assigning peon level task who just carrying on silently engrossing in her beauty. Finally, after rearrange all the file Taarika glance fell upon him and disbalanced in shock when he hurriedly caught her in his arms refraining from falling. Taarika tightened the grip on him scrutinising her eyes, while he kept staring her lovingly. After a moment of cute eye lock, they adjusted themselves averting gaze in shyness.

"Umm hume maloom nhi tha aap the warna yeh kaam" Taarika hesitated.

"No problem hume bas tumhaari adaayein kheech laayi" Abhijeet stated.

Taarika shyly downed her gaze and going to leave when her bracelet stuck in his wrist watch as usual. Her heartbeat fastened as she assumed he held her back and twisted her wrist whispering as "Hume jaana hoga please aap…" but stopped realising it's her bracelet and came close to him to freed it. Their faces were just inches away, both were dipped in each other's eyes, he could feel her unsteady breaths.

Abhijeet exhaled in deep voice "Kya jadoo hai tumhari inn aakhon mein, kyun humsesha mujhe madhosh kar deti hai, mujhe dooba deti hai"

"Yunhi doobte rhe toh mohbbat ho jaayegi" Taarika whispered.

"Phir main puri tarah inme doobna chahta hoon, poori tarah inme madhosh hona chahta hoon" Abhijeet expressed his feeling attaching their forehead.

Taarika shyly separated herself from his grip and whispered softly "Hume intzaar rahega aapke doobne ka" and rushed from there.

Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock, happiness, realisation a mixed feeling of happiness, excitement, surprise, emotional gripped him as he had confessed his love indirectly and she accepted it too. Flaring hand over hair, he jumped in happiness of love confession. On other side, Taarika's heart was beating rapidly having happy tears who hid her face in happiness and shyness and swirl around in excitement.

In evening, Abhijeet was cooking Italian dish while humming and grooving on song and completely engrossed in his own world. Daya's eyes popped seeing him that happy and asked suprisingly in disbelief.

"Bhai, are you ok what happened aap itne kush kyun ho" Daya asked.

"Todo, taste my Italian dish ta-da" Abhijeet offered him and again busy in grooving and asked Daya to join him.

"Bhai, now it's confirmed kuch toh hua hai batao na bhai, aapko itna kush phele nhi dekha" Daya desperately asked. In response, Abhijeet bit his lips and lowered his face in blush. Daya's jaw dropped in shock, surprise, desperate and he hurriedly called elders.

"Mom- Dad Bhai ko kuch ho gya hai, he is blushing and dancing and cooking" Daya said loudly when Abhijeet threw spoon on him annoyingly.

"I'll kill you Daya" He grumpily shouted and chased him but stopped abruptly seeing ACP and Avni stood in front with Daya.
