(Flashback continues...)Few months later...

Everything is going as usual. It's only that now Tarika knows there is always someone beside her, no matter what happens. It was New Years Eve Party for all the CID members at Ins. Purvi's house. Tarika was very excited, because it would be the first party for her in mumbai , in which she won't feel lonely amongst the crowd. Till date in every occassion here she had missed her family very much, and that's why she did not even like to go to the parties. But this time it's different. Abhi will be there.

Tarika in her thought: Pata nahi Abhijeet kab ayega... kaisa lagega woh? mujhe itni excitement kyun ho rahi hai? Usse dekh paungi, sirf isi liye itni bechaini?

Her thought was interrupted by her phone call.

Tarika: Hello...

Man: Hello Tarika Ji

Tarika: Abhijeet! Tum

Abhijeet: Haan Tarika, main tumhe pick up karne aa jaun?

Tarika: (her heart started pounding like anything) Hmmm... (a smile crept on her face)

Abhijeet: Thik hai, aap taiyar rahiye, main bas abhi nikal raha hun.

Tarika: OK Abhijeet! aap aa jaiye.

After that it seemed to her the longest period in her life. She looked at the watch again and again.

Tarika in her thought: Yeh Abhijeet kab ayega? abhi tak kyun nahin aya? aaj kitne din baad hum aise FL ke bahar milenge. Aur koi saath mein bhi nahin honge. Main usse jee bharke dekh sakti hun...

Her thought was interrupted by a loud horn of Abhijeet's car. She forgot everything and was running down the stairs and her long black silk gown was flowing like stream behind her. Abhijeet could see that from outside the glass door. And he was utterly mesmerized by the unconventional beauty of his love. Tarika was looking like a princess in that long blak gown, there was something dazzling like diamond in front of that gown. A light bracelet and a casual top knot of her hair complimented her beauty. Abhijeet was unable to take off his eyes from her.

On the other hand as soon as Tarika saw the person in his well built physique in front of her she could feel all her blood flowing towards her face. Before she could understand anything her breath became faster and to increase her shyness even more, she could not control blushing scarlet.

Finally Abhijeet were able to break the silence:

Abhijeet: You re looking great Tarika!

Tarika: (lowered her head) Thank you (in almost an inaudible voice)

They both got on the car. Tarika could not stop herself from looking at him again and again. She did not know what happened to her so suddenly but it seemed to be more and more harder to control her hormones after seeing this man this evening. That evening she realized for the first time that she had already lost her everything to this person in her mind. She decided to confront Abhijeet about all her feelings.

They both entered the party a little late.

Daya: Kya yaar Abhijeet! kitna der laga di. Kab se tumhara intezaar kar raha hun.

Abhijeet: Woh actually Tarika ji ko pick up karne ke liye gaye the

Daya: (winking) Ooooo

Purvi: (Running towards abhijeet and Tarika) Wow! aap dono kitne achche lag rahe hai! Tarika aap to bilkul fairytale ka princess lag rahi hai.

They were about to enter the hall, but suddenly Abhijeet's phone rang.

Abhijeet: Haan sir boliye!

...

Abhijeet: Kya! thik hai, aap bilkul fikar mat kijiye, main abhi ja raha hun

All were looking at him anxiously.

Abhijeet: (to all) ek urgent kaam aa gaya. mujhe abhi nikalna padhega. Tum log enjoy karo. please don't mind

Daya: Par Abhijeet hua kya hai itna to batao? Main chalun tumhare saath?

Abhijeet: Nahin Daya tum yehi rahoge. Abhi time nahi hai, ghar jaake sab bata dunga

He just rushed away leaving everyone stunned.

12:30 am at Duo's home

Daya in his thought: yeh Abhijeet kahan chala gaya achanak! abhi tak ghar nahi aya! pata nahi kahan hai... kya karun kuch bhi samajh mein nahin aa raha hai, phone bhi nahi lag raha

Suddenly his phone rang

Daya: Yes Sir

ACP: Daya, maine Abhijeet ko bheja tha Kaliya ka akhre mein. Woh Kaliya ne Dr. Debendra ki beti ko kidnap kar liya tha, aur uski badle mein usse Abhijeet ko chahiye tha, woh bhi akela

Daya: Sirrrr! Aap ne usse akela bhej diya!

ACP: Daya! Woh Abhijeet hai, koi mamuli Police inspector nahin. uss kaliya se lipatna uske liye koi bade baat to nahi

Daya: Phir bhi sir!...

ACP: Daya, uss bachchi ke bare mein bhi to sochna chahiye tha uss waqt. Lekin ab mujhe lag raha hai, shayad maine galat kiya... Dekho, tum abhi ke abhi wahan chale jao.

...

2:15 am at Tarika's home

Tarika was lying restless in her bed. Suddenly she got a call. It was from Daya

Daya: Tarika, main City Hospital se call kar rha hun.

Tarika: DAYAAA! Abhijeet - Abhi thik to hai na?

Daya: Tarika, Abhijeet ko 2 goliya lagi hai. abhi operation chal raha hai. Maine sir ko bata diya. Tum aa jao (his voice broke due to tear)

For that moment the world seemed to be dead for her. She sat on the floor with a thud. the mobile fell from her hand. She closed her eyes and could see his face only. Without wasting any moment she ran towards the City Hospital.
