As She was leaving from parking area on her scooty, Siddharth looks at her from his room window with eyes stuck on her until she disappeared from his eyes.

At Bureau:

All were in hurry to complete their work. Shreya reaches office and confirm again with everyone about their plan informing them about Tarika veing aware of it.

Everyone reaches mall by 11 and Tarika-Kavin also came there by 11:20.
Everyone gather around a corner of the mall. Nikhil was keeping eye on mall main gate while Tarika was nervous, Kavin was confident and Shreya was worried.

Shreya:(quickly)Kavin - Tarika tum logo ko yaad hain na kya karna hain.

Kavin:(confidently)meri to fikar karo hi maat,par tarika ko dekho kitni nervous hain ye. Main subha se usse samjha rahu hoon lekin wo hain ki samjh hi nahi rahi.

Shreya, Sachvi and Rajat looks at her while she feeling nervous bit her lips.

Shreya:(taking a deep sigh)Tarika ye akhri moka hain please tumhe hamara saath dena hoga.Tum tension maat lena bas jo ye bole karti jaao naki sab kavin shambhal lega.

Tarika:(sadly)par kya ye sahi hain, I mean Abhijeet se jhoot bolna aur.

Purvi:(holding her one hand)Tarika trust me jab tak in ladko ko aise na lage na ki inse kuch cheen raha hain tab tak ye sach mein nahi samjhte hain.

Sachin:I hate to agree with purvi on this but sach yahi hain.

Rajat:dont worry tarika, badmein jab sab settle hojaye tab sach bata dena.

Shreya:(quickly holding her other hand)12 bajne wale hain tum logo jaao apne plan ke liye ready hojao, hum bhi wapas thodi der mein aate hain.

She nodes while they all leaves and team was looking at them leaving. Shreya prayed that her plan succeeded, she was worried and tensed at the same time.

12 O clock:

Shreya & team were sitting on the top floor game zone area waiting for Abhijeet while kavin was waiting for him at 2nd floor food court.

Abhi reaches mall, park his bike and enter the mall. He looks around to find everyone but doesn't find anyone.

Here, all were eagerly waiting for Abhi while shreya phone rings, all looks at her while she picks it up.

Shreya;Hello Siddharth..

Siddharth:Shreya.. wo

Same time Abhi give a call to shreya

Shreya:Siddharth main tumhe badmein call karti hu bye..

She disconnect Siddharth call in a one second switching to Abhi call.

Shreya:Hello Abhijeet sir, haa aap aagayye... OK hum bas 10 minute mein pahunch rahe hain tab tak aap 2nd floor food court mein wait kijiye.

As discussed he make his way to food court, he settle down looking around then at his watch when his mind strike something and he again run his eyes through crowd and find Kavin along with a girl, he bend keenly narrowing his eyes to see the girl face

He thinks it's tarika as the girl has curly hairs, while they were having pizza and kavin flirting with her. Kissing her hand locking her hair behind war, roaming his fingers her face.

Abhi was clenching the table tighting while glaring at the sight. He try to avoid but he wasnt able to control his anger and get up in jerk while the girl turn her face and he was stunned to find other girl with him.

Kavin wipes the cheese from the girls lips while Abhi was confused and worried about tarika. He wasn't able to understand what to do,he again sit down noticing them. 

Kavin held her hand tighting while giving perks on it, she was blushing hitting on kavin chest, he hold her hand again and keep giving her tickles. Abhi was shocked to see them while he kept thing about all the possibilities about the situation and try to defend his questions himself.

Kavin notice Abhi lost in thinking somthing deeply and drops a message to shreya smiling. All were waiting at top floor for Kavin message.

Kavin: Step 1 complete 👍

Shreya and team gets happ with success to their 1st step, she quickly thank god while a smile appeared on her lips and her eyes sparkling.

All quickly gets down on 2nd floor and  settle down near Abhijeet opposite to him as planned. Abhi eyes were glued on Kavin, Rajat tabs his shoulder he looks at them.

Rajat:Sir, kaha khoke ho aap? Kya hua?

Sachin;Aapko dekhke aisa lag raha hain jaise aapne koi vhoot dekhliya ho.

Abhi;(grinning his teeth)Bhoot hi dekhliya hain.

Shreya:Matlabh sir?

Abhi:matlabh ye ki agar tum log bhi aise hi chok jaaoge agar wo dekhliya jo maine dekha.

Nikhil:Aisa kya hain sir.. batiye to sahi.

Purvi:Haa sir, batiye kya dekh liya.

Abhi:Apne piche dekho.

All turn around while moving from his front, Abhi was shocked as ye dosent find Kavin or the girl in the food court. He run his eyes but doesn't find him.

Abhi gets up from his place trying  to find Kavin but doesn't see him. Shreya ask him but he doesn't answer anything and settle down while lost in thing.

Other signalling eachother, order something to eat and quite a sometime passed Abhi was lost in thinking, all plan to shop as their next step would take llace their.

They all move along from one store to other trying go find one or other thing, Abhi was lost in thinking while he again notices kavin with another girl near the women appairls.

He immediately calls shreya and takes her there but he again gets disappeared while shreya kept looking at his changing expressions or look in his face.

This gets repeated for quite a few more times and eveytime Abhi miss kavin by minute or by dash and miss. All were looking at Abhi while shreya looked up and switch to next step.

Shreya:Sir,aap kise dhund rahe ho?

Abhi:(looking here there)Kavin kaha hain shreya?

Shreya:sir kyu(Abhi looks at her)wo kavin to.. wo..

Abhi:(looking at her restlessly)wo kya shreya?kaha hain wo?

Shreya: Sir kavin to Tarika ke saath hain,wo log lunch pe milne wale the par maine unhe yaha invite karliya hain taki hum sab saath mein lunch kar sake.

Abhi:(immediately)Aur Tarika ke parents?

Shreya:aaj wo log apne relatives se milne gaaye hain to kavin unke saath hi hoga.

Abhi:(again searching around)you're sure shreya..?

Shreya:haa sir usne mujhe wahi kaha hain.. (he pause for a moment reading Abhi expressions while he was looking around)Waise hum sab bhi kal milne wale hain Tarika ke parents se...(still looking around) Aa..aap.. Aap.. bhi aarahe hain na?

Abhi:(looks at her, take a sigh looking around)Nahi.. Mujhe tarika ne ye bhi nahi bataya ki uske parents aaye hain.

Shreya:(sadly)Sir ek baat batiye(he looks at her)aap log baat bhi kar rahe kya(he turn around his face)Mujhe aise lagraha hain jaise aaplogo ek dusre se dheere dheere dur ho rahe hain.

Abhi:Aur ye faisla bhi Tarika ne hi badhiye hain.

Shreya:Sir,sach mein?aap ko lagta hain dur hona Tarika ka faisla ho sakta hain?

Abhi:(jerking his head)Wo khush hain..(shreya cut him between)

Shreya:Aapke saath..Aapke bina nahi sir..(Abhi looks at her)main sach keh rahi hoon sir, hum ladkiyao ko kuch zyada nahi chati hota hain,bas itna hi ki jisse wo pasand kare wo itni himat rakhe ki wo sabke saamne apne dil ki baat kehsake,(smiles sadly) sabke samne na sahi atleast uss ladki se to keh sake jisse wo pyaar karte hain.

Abhi:( feeling her pain in her voice)Shreya...

Shreya:Sach sir, bohut kam log hote jo  keh pate hain ki ye ladki hain jisse main apni zindagi ka hissa bana chata hoon aur uss ladki ki khusi ka tikhana nahi hota uss ladke ke saath zindagi bitadena jisse wo apna sabkuch Manti hain.(he was looking at her while she was lost in Daya memories, all the moments play as if a movie infront of her, Abhi keep his hand on her while she come back from her lost memories to harsh reality and smile sadly)Sir, bas itna hi chaiye bas itna hi aur kuch zyada nahi.

Abhi:(withdrawing his hand)Shreya sahi waqt..

Shreya:Sir,sahi waqt kabhi nahi hota bas waqt ko sahi karna padta hain warna waqt chala jaata hain. Main nahi chati ki aap aage jaake iss waqt ko kose isliye main ye keh rahi hoon.(Abhi lower his head)Tarika ki khushi aapke saath hain.

Abhi:(immediately)ye tumhe lagta hain..

Shreya:(immediately)Nahi, ye Tarika ko bhi lagta hain. (He again looks at her)Aap dono bohut samay se ek saath hain aur ye baat aapse acha kaun janta hain. (Abhi jerks his head while shreya smile sadly)Daya sir wapas aahi jaayenge(Abhi loos at her) par agar aap unke intezar mein Tarika se waqt pe kuch nahi keh paye aur koi aur jo Tarika ke liye sahi hain(kavin with girl flashes in Abhi mind)bhi ya nahi(abhi looks at her with jerk) agar aise kisi insaan ke zindagi ka hissa Baan gaayi to phir aposh ke alawa aur kuch nahi kar payenge aap.

Abhi looks at her keenly, he can see the pain she is suffering. He was confused about what to do...What is the right thing. Will he be able to keep tarika happy and was is it ok without being Daya there to go on and live his life.What should he do.. While thinking he moves forward when he see Tarika coming into mall with Kavin.Abhi clenched his fist and keep looking them at thought about Kavin betraying Tarika.

Shreya looks at Abhi way and see Tarika Kavin, she takes a deep breathe and wave her hand while they walk upto them.

Abhirika glances at eachother while Kavin hold Tarika by waist and Abhi clenches his fist, Team also join them.

Abhi was looking at Kavin-Tarika the whole time. Kavin share that he has something to share which he will do it tommorow infront of Tarika parents and request everyone to present be their.

Tarika also says that she also wants to share something important decision she finally took to take a step forward in life.

Abhi was stunned to hear her but doesn't response. Shreya was slowly becoming restless, apart from all this Shreya was continues getting Siddharth call but she kept avoiding it.

Team was stealing glances at Abhi but he had blank expression, Everyone sadly have lunch and do some shopping where Kavin was helping tarika to select some dress while he kept flirting with the store manager who was female and everyother girls infront of Abhi.

Abhirika kept glancing at eachother throughout the day while Abhi noticed Kavin flirting nature with all.

Tarika wanted Abhi to say something, they though on seeing Kavin flirt nature Abhi would react but he wasnt reacting at all.

All were disappointed with failure to their plan, they had sad long faces with kavin giving everythibg for Abhi to react which did not work.

It was aound 8 & everyone with disappoinment left for their house in batches leaving last chance as per shreya last minute thinking.

Sachin leaves early with Purvi,Nikhil and Rajat giving excuse of some family work leaves. Pankaj and Freddy takes a auto with excuse of having dinner together, Shreya insist Kavin to drops her leaving Abhirika together.

Finally both of them were sitting together,After a while when Abhi dosent utter a word Tarika depressed gets up and was booking cab to go back as she did not get something while Abhi stops her stating he will drop her. Tarika was looking into deep her eyes while he kept looking back then ask her to follow her.

They were on bike ride like old days, Abhi was looking at her through mirror. She has small smile on her face while riding with him. She wanted to hold him but was confused about the arguments they had in past days and his behavior towards her.

She was hoping for him to speak something where as he was rejoiced by old thoughts of them having Dinner dates,lunch together, spending time together then suddenly Abhijeet started drifting away after Daya left for mission from not only her but everyone.

After alot of struggle he was back to his usual self but still not with Tarika. They quickly reach her house and he see that the lights of her house is turned off.

He question her about her parents and she give excuse that would have gone for a walk while she invite him inside but he says its late and start leaving.

Tarika:(worried)Abhijeet please ek baar andar to aao, chai pike jaao aaj waise bhi tumne theek se kuch nahi khaya.

Abhi:(looking at her)Late ho raha hain, abhi main chalta hoon. Phir kabhi aunga(he turns his bike then stop looking at her)Tarika (she was waiting for him while he thinking stammer) kal..wo kal.. lunch pe koi bhi decision lene se phele ache soch lena.

Tarika:(looking at his eyes)Bohut sochliya hain Abhijeet, Abh bas mom dad ke liye sochna hain.

Abhi:(sadly nodes his head)hmm main chalta hoon.

Tarika:(stop him)Kal lunch pe aayoge na tum?

Abhi:(immediately)Tumne bulaya nahi..

Tarika:Abh keh rahi hoon, aajana mera faisla tum bhi sun lena. (He looks at her while gluping his breathe)waise Kavin ko bhi kuch kehna hain to tum rahoge to mujhe atleast aisa lagega ki sabse ache dost ka support mil gaaya mujhe.

Abhi:(sadly turning his head)hmm theek hain dekhta hoon waqt milega to aajaunga.

Tarika(smiles)waqt ka hi to khel hain pura.. (he again turn his head to see her)Tumhare liye waqt pe baatein chodna bohut asaan hain lekin waqt apne hisab se badta rehta hain. Phir bhi dekhlo, tumhe jaise theek lage. Bye

She gets sad and depressed leaves instantly without waiting for his response as he kept starting at her while she leaves him outside and moves inside her home, closes the door without a blink on him.

He drives to his home as going back he again recollects all his moment with Tarika, the past beautiful memories and how slowly unknowingly he driffted away from her.

He was saddened by Daya going on mission which was unusal this time as Daya without asking for his suggestion nominated himself and formally informed him. Abhi always have a doubt deep down in his heart that something is not right and he was worried and lost in Daya that he completely neglected other important relations and one of it was Tarika.

Tarika was her heart and soul, he enjoyed her talks about various cases, deadbodies, poisons and different things. Apart all this yes he did love her but things are going different for him.

Everytime he wanted to be happy in life something or other thing keep happening but he had support of his friends which now is missing.

At the end od every thought kavin keep pooping up in his mind, where he is flirting, acting all lovely dovey with other girls. He was confused with everything going around and shreya words kept ringing while he was confused and worried about Tarika decision.

Abhi finally reaches home and goes to his room to get fresh up then settle down on sofa while changing channels on tv but his mind was occupied with Shreyas words, Tarika words, Kavin being with other girls.

Tomorrow decision which tarika is going to take and Kavin words important announcement. He was thinking continuesly on one topic that he was feeling guilty about neglecting Tarika.

If Daya was here then everything would have been so easy he would have pushed him to take a decision but without him being there, Abhi feels incomplete and without him by his side he doesn't want to move forward to start a new life or new relation.

He feels guilty for not being able to deliver Daya letter to shreya and be a reason for their separation while now how can he just take a step forward and start his own happy life.

This was difficult for him. He wanted to make Tarika part of his life but to do that he has to firstly have his best buddy support but daya on mission he doesn't want to enjoy the happiness in his life.

He cutted himself out from everyone for the same reason as he was guilty about Daya being out there on dangerous mission while he enjoy here.

He was lost thinking when his eyes stuck one channel where he see Daya favorite movie"Dosti-friends forever"he refcollects their conversation on this one.

***********

Abhi:Daya kitni baar dekhoge ye movie? Har baat ka hain tumhara ye.. kabhi kabhi to hame waqt milta hain aur usmein bhi tum gum phir ke iss movie pe aajate ho,Hatao isse abhi ke abhi.

Daya: (making annoyed face)Ofho jaise tum nahi dekhte rehte har waqt Sholay..

Abhi:(defending)Daya wo tumhari bhi fav hain..

Daya:Hain par mujhe ye bhi achi lagti hain..

Abhi: Haa tumhe har wo cheez achi lagti hain jo dosti pe ho..

Daya:Haa bilkul, ek hi to sacha dost hain mera to ye sab to banta hain.

Abhi:(angrily)Dosti ke alawa bhi tumhari zindagi mein aur kuch hain?

Daya: Hain na..(abhi looks at him) pyaar...

Abhi:(laughing)Acha bhai sab aur aapko pyaar kab hua?

Daya:Hua nahi par jab hoga tab main jaat mangni pat bihaya karunga dekhna..

Abhi:(still laughing)Bhai sab shaadi ke liye ek ladki bhi honi chaiye..

Daya:wo bhi milhi jayegi, jayegi kaha. Waise tum kab karoge shaadi..?

Abhi:(avoiding his question)Daya yaar ye sab mere pale nahi padta, main aur cid ki duty theek hain.

Daya:Abhijeet jab sahi ladki milegi na to dekhna tum ye sab bhul jaaoge.

Daya was now leaning in sofa back while Abhi was sitting on dinning table while having fruits.

Abhi:Achaa...

Daya:Haa pata hain, Jab sahi ladki mil jaye na toh na pyaar mein deri karni chahiye aur na shaadi mein warna zindagi bhar koste rahoge apne aapko.

Abhi:(smiling at daya words) Daya puri filmy baatein karte ho..

Daya:Boss zindagi waise hi itni serious hain usse aur kyu serious banaye?Bas filmy bano aur sach keh raha hu. Kabhi aise lage na ki zindagi mein ek sahi ladki mil gaayi hain to usse jaane maat dena chaiye uske liye tumhe sab ki khushi se phele apni khushi ko kyu na chuna pade. (Abhi smile while gulping down apple) Aur boss,Agar tum aise karoge na to sabse zyada khush main rahunga chaiye main kahi bhi rahoon,Samjhe..

Abhi:(joining hands)Ji Daya Baba..

Daya:jeete raho bache,Abh mujhe movie dekhne do..

Daya turned around to watch movie while Abhi smiled at his buddy and he also glued his eyes on tv.

*************
Abhi was smiling remembering the moments and the conversation. Immediately something strike him and he quickly gets up with light and sparkle in his eyes.

Abhi:Daya,main bhi bhul gaaya tumhari sikhayi hui baat jaise tum bhul gaaye apni sikh. Jab tumhara dil tuta wo bhi do baar Sonali aur Purbi ke karan to tumne Shreya ke pyaar ko phenchane mein der kardi aur ussi karan tum nahi chate ki main der karu par (hitting himself on his head)main ullu ka patha itni si baat nahi samjh paaya.(grinning his teeth)Sab samjha rahe the aur main hu ki tumhare liye hichak taraha lekin sach to ye hain ki tum bhi yahi chate ho.(Smiles looking at daya photo)Sorry bhai maine bohut der ki lekin..(making a straight face)waqt rehte main sab theek karunga.I promise, kal ka din ek nayi subha layega tumhare dost ki zindagi mein dekhna tum aur jab wapas aaoge na to sab se zyada khush tum hi rahoge isse.

He dances felling happy, excited jumping on sofa and throwing pillows. He hold a pillow and dance along with it felling appy.

Here Tarika was nervous for next day looking at no reaction from Abhi, while  shreya was lost worried about Abhirika about her plan getting flopped.

She was continously getting Siddharth call while the phone was silent and she wasnt able to answer. She wished daya was here while recollecting her moments with him.

Scene shift :

Tarika:just drop this all and lets go back, I am sure inn sab se koi pharak nahi padta.. Usse ke dil mein mere liye kuch nahi hota hain..

A huge voice over..

"KUCH NAHI.. BOHUT KUCH HOTA HAIN TARIKAJI, AAP NAHI SAMJHOGE LEKIN MAIN BINA SAMJHAYE BINA JAANE BHI NAHI DUNGA..

Everyone looks at the main gate of the restaurant and find a alot of people with drums entering.. A huge orchestra enter along with people dressed in wedding suits and bride dress. Tarika and everyone were confused and looks at eachother.

A Presit with a mike enter from back of orchestra saying..

Presit/Freddy: Baalika Tumhare Sapno Ka Raajkumar Aaa Raha Hai... Varmala Baarat Doli Sajake Dulha Cha Raha Hai..

Shubhmangal Savadhan..

All:Freddy sir?

Rajat and Sachin also enter from back playing drums.. Tarika looks at shreya and then they hear Abhijeet voice and turn to find Abhijeet entering the gate on horse.

Rajat:Hey Ya... Hey Ya...

Sachin:Hey Ya.. Hey Ya..

Abhijeet:Heeriye Sehra Baandh Ke Main Toh Aaya Re

Sachin:Hey Ya..

Freddy:Hey Ya..

Abhijeet:(while still on horse)Doli Baarat Bhi Saath Mein Main Toh Laaya Re...
