'Tune usko kyu involve kiya isme!? Yeh pta hote huye ki kitna risky ho skta hai ye!!' Sumedh asked him. Rohit looked towards aarushi & sameeksha who were busy with each other, then he again turned to face sumedh.

'Mujhe kisi ki help ki jarurat thi' rohit started. 'Ek ladki' sumedh widened his eyes as he understood what he was going to say.

'Bhai tu pagal hai kya? Varun hai woh!!! Jaanta hai na tu use!! Aise kaise tu bandana ko bhj sakta hai uske pass. Ab dekh kitni badi problem mei phas gayi hai woh!!' Sumedh said still not believing what was going on.

'Usko maine sab ache se btaya tha, she agreed. Woh poori determined thi mujhe iss case mei help karne ke liye, kyunki sara ke saath jo hua tha use toh ignore nahi kr skte the even sameeksha ke saath jo hua. Naajaane aur kitni ladkiya hongi. College ka banda hai par akad dekho. Isko toh ghutne pe laake rahunga aur uske liye thos saboot chahie. Aur bandana ko ek memory card mil gya tha joh woh laane waali thi but pta nahi woh mere pass kyu nahi pohochi aur tere paas aa rhi thi' Rohit said thoughtfully.

'Jab tune use involve kara hi tha toh security kyu nahi dilwai stupid!!' Sumedh said.

'Yaar kuch decided nahi tha...hume yeh kaam parso krna tha but pta nahi kya hua..bandana ka call aaya mere pass aur usne kaha ki woh varun ke ghar ja rahi hai, mere kuch puchne se pehle hi usne call cut kar diya' Rohit said as worry covered his face.

'Sir pta chal gya location' suddenly the guy said. Rohit & sumedh went to him quickly.

'Kaha dikha raha hai' Rohit asked.

'Sir mumbai ke outskirts mei jo jungle hai, waha ka show kar raha hai' The guy said showing him the screen.

'Exact location btao' Rohit said.

'Sir koi sakhroli naam ka jagah hai, mumbai-nashik highway pe padta hai' he said.

'Hmm...yeh jagah main janta hu. Aur koi information?' Rohit asked.

'Nahi sir, lgta hai mobile off kar diya gya hai. Abhi pta nahi chal raha hai' The guy replied. Rohit sighed in frustration. Sumedh, aarushi & sameeksha were listening to them.

'Hume abhi nikalna chahie' Rohit said looking towards sumedh. Sumedh looked at him thoughtfully.

'Main bhi chalungi' sameeksha said.

'Nahi..khatra ho skta hai waha!! Police ki jarurat padegi hume' Rohit said & turned towards the guy. 'Call karo vishal ko aur inform karo use iss baare mei aur haan bolna prachi ko lekar aaye' Rohit completed. The guy nodded.

'Ab act nahi karenge hum toh baat haath se bahar chali jaegi' Rohit said.

'Mujhe jana hai. Please take me with you all. Main yaha aise hi baithi nahi reh skti' Sameeksha said with pleading eyes.

'Haan main bhi nahi baithi rahungi yaha. I also want to go aur koi nahi rokega mujhe' Aarushi said. 'Yaad hai sumedh hum ek jungle mei phas gaye the, yahi hai woh!!' Aarushi told him.

'Aree haan!!!' Sumedh exclaimed.

'Girls samjh nahi rahe tum dono!! Agar thoda sa unch nich ho gya toh woh tumlog ko humare against use kr skta hai, like tumhe pakad ke' Rohit said.

'Nahi rohit, I dont think!! Tum police ko lekar chal rahe ho na. Kuch nahi hoga hume. Please let us come' Aarushi pleaded.

'Yaar kuch nahi hoga!! Itna bhi strong nahi hai woh kamina!!' Sumedh said.

Rohit thought for a while & then nodded.

'Thik hai chalo' he said & all of them left.

Devaki was crying like there was no end. She was feeling helpless, broken & what not. Unable to understand what she could do to ease the pain, to let her friends know why all she didn't share this to them.

She was in her aunt's house's balcony sitting on the floor with her legs bent to her chest & her hand around them.

'Main bilkul nahi chahti thi chupana par kya krti main!! Uss varun ke wajah se sab ho raha hai!! Mujhe uss time hi protest karna chahie tha. Na main uska saath deti uss time na aisa kuch hota. Aur bina matlab ka rohan bhi phas gya isme' Devaki sobbed.

'Kitni badi pagal hu main!! Sara pe kaise shaq kar sakti thi main!! Iss jealousy ne bohot galat kaam kara diya mujhse, how can I even think for sara & sumedh to be together jab uss time mujhe pta tha ki sara varun ke saath hai....sab bigaad diya maine!! SAB KUCHH!!!!' Devaki screamed at last.

'Ab bas bohot hua!! Main apni galti sudharungi!! I will stand for sara & each and every girl jiski life varun ne kharab kar di hai!! Iss baar kuch bhi ho jaaye I will not back off, chahe mujhe bhi jail kyu na jaana pade' Devaki stood up with determination and walked out from there.

Sara & abhishek went to aarushi's & devaki's place. Their way to the apartment was quiet. As soon as they reached there & parked the car, sara saw devaki going inside the apartment.

'Devakiii' Sara called her from behind. She turned to look at sara. Sara quickly ran to her.

'Tu bahar kaha thi?' Sara asked. She noticed devaki's bloodshot & puffy eyes & traces of dry tears in her cheeks. Sara narrowed her eyes, trying to read her face. Devaki looked away.

'Woh main apni aunty ke ghar gayi thi. Unse milne ka mann kar rha tha' Devaki lied. Sara cocked her brow. Abhishek also came there.

'Par jaha tak mujhe yaad hai, tune kaha tha ki teri aunty bahar gayi hui hai mumbai se' Sara said.

Devaki slapped herself in her mind.

'Umm...haan wohi toh jaisi hi waha pohchi toh yaad aaya ki woh toh yaha hai hi nahi toh isilie main wapas aa gayi' Devaki covered up.

'Acha yeh sab chod na. Chal andar chalte hai' devaki tried to ignore the topic. She knew that sara had noticed her face that must have been looking horrible right now.

As they reached near the door, they saw that the door was locked. Sara gave a confused look.

'Aaruhi toh aa gayi thi na?' Sara asked.

'Haan..aa toh gayi thi. Acha mere pass dusri chabhi hai. Wait' devaki said & took out the key from her jeans pocket. She quickly opened the door & three of them walked inside.

'Aarushi mei thoda bhi akal nahi hai, abhi use aaram karna chahie tha toh abhi dekho use..gayab hi hai' Devaki said & went inside washroom.

Sara & abhishek settled themselves on the sofa. Abhishek didn't say a word after since they left sara's place. Sara looked at abhishek who was staring at the floor. He looked so lost that made sara sad. Sara stood up and walked towards kitchen.

'Paani lau tumhare liye?' Sara asked. He didn't reply.

'Abhi??' Sara called him. This time he looked at her. 'Paani lau?' She asked again. He shook his head & again moved his gaze towards the floor. Sara went inside the kitchen.

'I know you are broken abhi..but roz roz aise rehne se acha hai na ki kuch din aisa rahe bas' Sara thought.
