AFTER 3 DAYS

It was almost afternoon, the sun was shining at its peak, and it seemed as though the flesh would burn in the heat of the sun.

"Pata nhi unhe zameen kha gayi ya aasman nigal gaya hai... kutton ki tarah dhundh rhe hai undono ko pichle 3 dino se... pr ek saboot nahi mila hai unke yaha hone ka.", growled Rafiq.

"Wahi to main soch rha hu, itne waqt se itne saare log alag alag hisse mein dhundh rhe hai unhe jungle ke, pr ab tak koi surag nhi mila hai...", added Arjun with a sigh.

"Boss aage kya orders hai?", asked one of theirs men.

"Tum sab undono ko dhundha chalu rkho, ho na ho wo hai isi jungle mein... shayad is taraf nhi to dusri taraf ya shayad jungle ke beecho beech... pr hai wo yahi... apni nazre tez kro aur dhundhna shuru kro unhe!", ordered Arjun.

"Aur mere khayal se kuch logo ko aage highway pr bhej dena chahiye hame, incase wo dono agar yaha se bach kar bhagne mein successful hogaye ho to...", Rafiq further suggested.

"Hmm... you are right Rafiq!"

"Jao aur jaldi se kaam shuru kro... ek team highway ki taraf aur baaki sab ko bolo jungle mein phail jaane aur dhundh kr nikalo undono ko!", Arjun announced out loud.

"Yes boss!", his men accepted the order and left.

"Ab ham is jungle mein kya kare unke milne tak?", asked Rafiq.

"Jo bhi krenge, pr rhna to yahi hai... is baar jab tak Haseeena ko khud apne haathon se shoot nhi kar dunga tab tak mujhe shanti nhi milegi...!", spoke Arjun in a groused tone.

"Kar...r..ishma... mujhse ab aur chala nhi jaa rha hai, pata nhi kitne dino se ham is jungle mein bhatak rhe hai pr na koi insaan mil rha hai yaha aur na hi bahar jaane ka rasta...", Haseena choked as her throat was dry because of lack of water.

"Haseena... thori dur aur, bas ye chadhan puri ho jaye, phir ham kisi ped ke neeche ruk jayenge... abhi yaha nhi ruk skte ham, dekho to kitni tez dhoop hai maano chamdi jal jayegi...", karishma tried to encourage her in a paled state.

"T...t...u..m j...ao... m..ain.. n..hi aa..ri...", and then Haseeena gestured her to move ahead.

"Tch! Haseena kam se kam waha tak to chalo, waha thori si kam dhoop hai, thori der waha baith jaate, phir aage ka rasta tay krenge... chalo utho ab...", karishma dragged her from her arms to a nearby bushes, where there was a bit shadowy.

"Ho...gaya... ab ... m...ain kahi bhi... nhi... ja rahi yaha se....", mumbled Haseeena while sitting on the ground there.

"Tch! Pftt..." (sighed karishma in frustration)

"K...ya hua..a?", asked Haseeena while gulping down her throat.

"Kuch nhi bas ye soch rhi hu ki bahar nikalne ka rasta kaha se dhundhu... na Fayad se baat ho rhi aur na hi pa...(paused)", she stopped abruptly and looked at haseena.

"Aur?", Haseena asked raising her eyebrow??

"...aur na hi paani ka koi source mil rha h, aise to hamdono zinda bhi nhi bach payenge!", she said looking here and there.

"Ham kar bhi kya sakte hai? Abhi intezar krte hai... thori der mein phir chalna shuru krenge, aur kahi na kahi to pahuch hi jayenge...", said Haseeena in an assuring tone and a hope filled smile.

Haseena shifted a bit closer to karishma and cleared her throat and further said, "Umm... aur agar ham kahi nahi bhi pahuche to jo bhi hasr hoga wo saath dekh lenge...."
