Daya:Kal yahi pe Kitna shor tha(It was still dark outside and the sun didn't come up yet, all were sleeping peacefully)har raat ke baad savera aata hain mujhe shreya ko ye baat realise karni hogi.

Daya was looking at the sky which was mixture of blue, orange and black colour.

He recollects see shreya for the 1st time on the bridge, she looked like an angle to him, a beautiful girl with her hairs flying in the air and Daya couldn't help but got lost in her beauty.she looked extremly beautiful and the whole time daya was just staring at her while she was making her decision to die.

Daya:(his hearts beats gets fast as his mind suddenly stops him realising)what the hell am i thinking about her??Ek to pagal hain dusra mujhe pagal kar rahi hain lekin mera dil itne zor se jyu dhak raha hain just usko yaad karke..(jerking his head)nana.. stop it Daya.. jog ke liye jaata hu Shreya apne aap nikal jaayegi dimag se.

All the girls, ladies around were drolling over Daya as shreya her dress with people's looking at Daya then at her judging her.

Daya ordered for him and asked for her order as she took a plan juice.

Daya stared at her for a while as she was bitting her lips, moving her hands in her hairs, tapping her foot and lookinga round nervously.

Daya:(smiles)nervous ho?

Aftersometime Dareya were walking togeather as she was still feeling people eyes on her as Daya kept trying to talk but she want paying attention to him.

Daya:Mera sabse acha dost hain, actully hum mile CID mein and pata hi nahi chala kab ache dost bangaye infact CID ne mujhe wo family dedi jo maine kabhi sochi bhi nahi thi.

Shreya:(irritatedly)nahi suni mujhe aapki CID Puran so please stop thi..

Daya:(smiling)bore ho rahi ho.. haa I know main bhi bore hi hora tha, chalo kuch aur baat karte hain.

Daya see her adjusting her dress repeadly as he hear someone voice.

I don't believe itne handsome ladke ke saath itni simple si ladki hain.

Aaj kal logo ke taste ko kya hogaya hain.

Daya see shreya as she was turning her face around while he clenched his fist and looked at them.

Daya:Excuse me(the ladies looked at him with smile as he held shreya hand with interwing them)She is the most beautiful girl I would have ever met. So please apne soch apne pass rakhiye. Bima puche kisi aur bhi dene ki zarurath nahi hain.

Daya firmly confronted them as they apologised and moved while shreya was staring at him. He smiled at her and silently moved forward still holding her hands with both of their hearts beating fast and they lost intheir own thoughts.

Daya:Aise kaise koi shreya ke baremein bolsakta hain, she is so beautiful. Kitni pyaari hain Kitni achi hain and upar se samjhdar hain. Haa thoda dimag kharab hain lekin she is the best and I like her the way she is.. mujhe duniya se farak nahi padta..(he felt her warmth in her hand as he glanced at the hold smiling)kitni garma hat hain inn haato mein, choti ungliya aur thode hardness and thoda soft touch hain.

Shreya:(looking at him)Mr.officer ne sabke sabne ek baar bhi ye nahi socha ki main ek orphange hu, ek simple ladki jo actully deserve nahi karti aise ladke ko lekin wo mera saath nahi chote nahi haath balki unhone mera haath aur kass ke padkadliya. I am happy to be with him, kyu mujhe acha lag raha hain kya ye Mr.officer mujhe yaha ye batane laaye the, matlabh ye sab plan tha?what...

She stop at her place while daya felt her pause and turn to her. She quickly pulled her hands as he looked at her with suprised while she glanced at him glaring.

Shreya:Mujhe yaha kyu leke aaye?kya karna hain aapko..

Daya:Main bas..

Shreya:Dekhiye Mr. Mujhe bekar ki baatein mein intrest nahi hain so please tell me what you want from me.

Daya was shocked with her sudden change of mood as he point towards a place with disheartened as she follow his finger and was shocked to see a open painting art exhibition being held.

She takes 2 steps forward with hope widen eyes around the painting as people were setting them.

Daya walked beside her looking at the place then at her.

Daya:Tumhara painter bane ka sapna, tumhara 2nd reason (she looked at him as he smiles)isse phele tum mujhe misunderstand karo bata deta hu ki kal orphanage mein maine dekha tha painting tumhare naam se. (Thinks looks at her)actully last year shayad tumne Acp sir ko bhi ek painting gift ki thi, you know I am in love with that painting... wo humare cid ke wall pe intacted hain for ever and I love the name of it as well... "Frozen flowers" bohut beautiful hain. Please miss.shreya apne uss painter ko maat maro just go leave it, fail hojao to bhi rasta maat chodo wapas try Karo. Tumhe pata bhi tumhari painting ki vina koi tarif kare jaata hi nahi hain. Believe me (shreya was staring at him as he took move step with holding her hands)ye haath bohut khubsurat painting banate hain. Yakeen nahi hota to jaake uss exhibition ke last painting ko dekho kitne log aayenge Ayr admire karenge usse.

She was shocked as she runs towards inside the exhibition with Daya smiling and slowly following her.

She looks at all the painting the people around it. Some people were still setting some while she ran towrads the end and witnessed her paininting "summer shine" hanged for people to watch and admire.

Her name was reflecting down as she gasped her happiness, she held her dress with tear making a way from her eyes. She was happy and smiled looking at it.

Soon people came and stopped at before her and admired her piece of work. She was extremely happy with their in detail review and praise. Some even pointed out the best outcomes.

Daya stood behind her looking at her happiness with admiring her work as well.

Daya:Miss. Shreya kitne lekin hain abh jo hogaya usse chodo and socho ki tumhe isse bhi ache painting banane hain aur bhejhte rehna baki logo ko..

Daya smiled as she looks at him with thinking something.

Daya:Abh kuch jhaya jaaiye, nujhe bhook lagi hain.

The remaining day they spend togeather with eating, trying different street food.

In evening:-

At orphanage:

They reached as daya stopped his car with she getting down. Daya looked at her smiling while she walked glancing at him towards the lawn area. Daya looked at her for few minutes then followed her .

Shreya:(thinking walking)Daya ne meri help ki meri yaadein taza kardi, meri painting se mujhe wapas milaya. I am so happy I want yo dance around freely so much ki bata nahi sakti. (Looks at sky)aap jante ho na mumma mujhe kitna pasand hain. Painting meri jaan hain lekin aaj se phele aisi khushi ya dil nahi kara apna dream jeene ka. Kya sach mein mujhe wapas painting karni chaiye?really..

Shreya turned as her legs stumbled and she was about fall when Daya held her in his arms as she looked at him. Both were lost in eachother eyes, there was something in their eyes which was speaking for them. Both were silently watching eachother.

She felt his bare hand touch on her stomach as her hand were wrapped around her neck. Both heard a fruit seller voice and came out of trance looking at eachother as she moved away and he towards otherside.

After few second she looked at him while he was brushing his hand in his fingers.

Shreya;Aap gaaye nahi?

Daya:(looks at her)tumse puchna tha aaj ka 2nd reason tumhe pasand aaya ya nahi..?

Shreya looked at him keenly as he was bitting his lips with her answer.

Shreya:roz puchna zaruri hain Mr.officer?

Daya:(sighing)Miss.shreya sawal ke badle jawab dete hain ultra sawal nahi puchte.

Shreya;(turned her face)mujhe nahi dena jawab ok..

Daya:(sighing)ok maat dena.. lekin 11day jab paani mein khudne jaaogi to phele kyati then apne dream painting ke liye.. duniya bohut acha rising painter khodegi kuch dino mein..shayaddd..

He smiles at her winking as she gasped at him. He slowly walks away as shreya was looking at him.

Shreya;Mr.Officer ke saath abh ajeeb nahi lagata inn do hi dino mein Kitna sab badal gaaya lagta hain, unhone nujhe mere sapne ke pass leke aaye.. ye kismat ka khel hain ya bas ek coincidence.

She walked inside the orphanage with thoughts in her head.
