F.R.I.E.N.D.S - Ek Anokhi Kahanni

Shot 11

Mid Night 12AM

It's mid night in the city of Mumbai now. Inspite of being the mid night the city of Mumbai wasn't silent at all. The roads were jammed with several cars stuck in traffic. Highways were busy with number of cars travelling to their destinations while the streets were busy with the loud noises of people indulged in their own work and whereas houses were filled with hustle and bustle, while some houses were all silent having no lights on being mid night.

And one among them was the Maheshwari Mansion in the city of Mumbai. Pallavi had gone to sleep due to tiredness while Sanskaar was in his room busy doing his office work. Swara on the other hand was all silent sitting in balcony on a swing swinging slowly admiring staring the twinkling stars all lost.

Tears dripped down from her eyes remembering her parents. No matter how much ever she wipes her tears by her hands, it kept flowing continuously. The more she stops the more fresh tears rolled down from her eyes non stop making her feel lonely.

Soon a hand passing a handkerchief appears infront of her from no where bringing her back to her senses instantly.

"Take it Swara. Sometimes a small piece of cloth can do a miracles. The tears which didn't get stopped from flowing by your hands can get stopped by this small piece of cloth." adviced Sanskaar while taking his seat on the swing beside crying Swara smiling warmly.

Swara on the other hand kept staring Sanskaar not getting how to react being confused.

"Don't be confused Swara. Actually I was passing by to fetch water in my jug when I saw the balcony door opened. So to close the door I came here but then before I could close the door I saw you sitting here all lost in your own world and frankly speaking when I saw tears in your eyes I didn't feel good." spoke Sanskaar clarifying himself and indirectly conveying Swara to take the handkerchief and wipe her eyes instantly.

Swara in return took the handkerchief from Sanskaar and started wiping her tears feeling secured unknowingly.

"So missing Mr Rao ?" asked Sanskaar while taking his seat beside Swara on the same swing smilingly.

"Hmm." replied Swara nodding her positively staring the twinkling stars yet again.

"Swara feel free and be comfortable here. I know you might be missing Mr Rao right now but trust me here you are as safe as a diamond in a locker is." assured Sanskaar trying to make a sad Swara a bit comfortable and free affectionately.

"It's not about feeling free or comfortable Sanskaar. It's about how you feel when you stay away from the only loved ones you love. You know Sanskaar, Bhai never left me alone in this big city after the dismissal of our parents. If he has to go to any business trips then he made sure it's in India or he left Farhad Bhai with me for my safety but today...." replied Swara softly for a while but then soon halted her own words not understanding her own restlessness feeling uneasy.

"So what if today Farhad is not here, we are here na. Pallavi is there and I'm also there and waise bhi it's not first time that Mr Rao has gone for business trips leaving you alone. So why are you sad ?" asked Sanskaar keenly listening to Swara silently.

"Sanskaar it's not like I'm sad because Bhai left me alone here for his business trip. No, not at all. Infact I'm happy ki for the very first time he took a decision for himself without thinking about me. I'm happy for him but somewhere I feel that something is wrong somewhere. I feel Bhai is in danger. An uneasy restlessness is killing me from inside since the time I heard about Bhai's departure to Dubai. I hope he is fine and returns back soon." shares Swara while letting her tears drip down from her eyes continuously feeling restless.

Sanskaar on hearing everything simply puts his palm on Swara's shoulder consoling her lovingly.

"I don't have a strength to loose anyone else Sanskaar. The day I heard about Amma and Appa's dismissal I was broken beyond repair. But it was Bhai who cured me and filled my life with happiness again. Along with a brother he became My Amma and My Appa both. He never made me feel that I'm an orphan. If today something happens to him na Sanskaar then I swear I will also die at the same time." cries Swara by now hugging Sanskaar immediately.

Her grip tightens and she snuggles more into Sanskaar's arms feeling miserable. Sanskaar whereas at first felt shocked and stared at the crying Swara for a while being confused but soon engulfs her in his hug rubbing Swara's back soothingly.

"Sanskaar tell me nothing will happen na to Bhai ? Kuch na hoga na Bhai ko ?" asks Swara while lifting her head and staring in the dark chocolatey eyes of Sanskaar innocently.

Sanskaar whereas on hearing everything silently af first wipes off Swara's tears and then hugged her back protectively calming her down calmly.

"No nothing will happen to your Bhai. He will be back soon." assures Sanskaar while still caressing Swara's back soothingly.

Swara in return feeling the warmth of Sanskaar's hug soon fell asleep feeling tired, and Sanskaar on the other hand feeling the weight on him smiles and head towards Pallavi's room carrying sleeping Swara carefully.

Soon he enters Pallavi's room and made Swara lay on the bed without disturbing Swara's sleep carefully.

"You are as innocent as a doll Shona and I Love You for your innocence." admired Sanskaar for a while and then kissed Swara's forehead before leaving the room smiling widely.

While Swara changed her position in sleep and smiled widely too on a soft touch on her forehead feeling protected.

It's the new morning in Mumbai. Sanskaar was as usual getting ready in his formals for his office while Pallavi and Swara were in living area after their breakfast chit chatting randomly.

Soon Sanakaar enters the living area and heads towards the dining area for his breakfast all busy in his phone talking to someone professionally.

"Ok sure Mr Raichand. Let's meet today in Dine Fine Resturant and then discuss about the deal today itself." said Sanskaar while taking his seat and gesturing servant to serve the breakfast when his eyes notices both Swara and Pallavi giggling while watching a video in a mobile keenly.

"Ok then Have a good day Mr Raichand. Let's meet in evening." spoke Sanskaar finally ending the conversation while still staring both the girls and trying to analysis them carefully.

Whereas Swara and Pallavi were all busy in watching a video keenly unaware of a pair of eyes watching them all confused.

"Sir it's capsicum be careful. You are allergic to capsicum." said the servant immediately witnessing a capsicum in Sanskaar's fork being worried.

Sanskaar who was busy in watching both Swara and Pallavi very keenly was about to eat the capsicum but halts his fork near his mouth on hearing his servant gaining the attendtion of both Swara and Pallavi too in no time.

"Ohh ! Thank You Raju." thanked Sanskaar while putting down the fork on his plate acknowledging his servant warmly.

Servant whereas in return nods his head with a warm smile and moves towards the kitchen leaving Swara,Sanskaar and Pallavi all in living hall all alone.

"Sanskaar waise what were you thinking so deeply which didn't make you realise that you were actually going to eat a capsicum." asked Pallavi while moving towards Sanskaar along with Swara being confused.

"Nothing I was not thinking anything but instead I was watching you two. You guys tell me what were you guys watching with so much interest haa ?" Sanskaar asked back and resumes his breakfast staring Pallavi and Swara suspiciously.

Swara and Pallavi on the other stared at each other first and then secretly winked at each other smirking evilly inwardly.

"Nothing important Sanskaar bas some reels on Instagram made us laugh. Abb you very well know how funny the reels are now days." said Pallavi in response while making a fake excuse effortlessly.

Sanskaar getting convinced nods his head positively and wipes his lips with his table napkin after finishing his breakfast finally.

"Ok girls you two carry on. See you both at night." said Sanskaar while standing up from his seat and grabbing his Suit from the sofa hastily.

While both the girls too smiled back and waves good bye to re-treating figure of Sanskaar smirking evilly.

"The game begins now." said both Swara and Pallavi both at the same time hi fiving eachother giggling mischievously.

Soon both Swara and Pallavi rushed towards Pallavi's room upstairs chit chatting excitedly.

"Plot is quite big and is in the centre of Dubai too. If we get this plot then we can make the best use of this plot." said Raghav while moving towards the edge of the plot viewing the entire Dubai smiling widely.

"Yes Mr Rao indeed the place is centre of attraction as you said but I fear whether the owner will agree to sell the land to us as the value of this land will definitely reach at a huge hype in near future." replied Mr Gray while watching the entire Dubai from the cliff being tensed.

"Indeed the value of this land will increase in near future Me Gray but at the same time the deal which we will offer to the owner isn't less than a huge profit too to the owner." said Raghav while turning towards confused Mr Gray clearing his tension confidently.

While Mr Gray thinks for a while and then agrees back with Raghav positively.

"Ok then Mr Gray I will tell my PA to arrange a meeting with the land owner tomorrow and then let's talk with him about our deal." spoke Raghav ahead sharing his thoughts smiling st Mr Gray professionally.

Mr Gray whereas in response nodded his head in agreement smiling professionally as well.

As per decision Sanskaar had already reached the Resturant and was patiently waiting for Mr Raichand in his reserved room surfing on his mobile reading news carefully.

"Woah ! Number 01 business tycoon in Dubai at the age of just 24. Not bad Mr Raichand." praised Sanskaar as soon as his eyes read a news on Mr Raichand's success smiling impressively.

"I wonder why does the No 01 business man of Dubai is so interested in the old abandoned warehouse of mine?" asked Sanskaar to himself while gazing Mr Raichand's news on his mobile being confused.

Soon the door was opened and Sanskaar lifts his head from his mobile only to find Mr Raichand entering the reserved room perfectly dressed up in business formals appearing too profesional yet arrogant.

"Hello Mr Raichand. Sanskaar, Sanskaar Maheshwari here." greets Sanskaar soon standing up from his seat and shaking his hand with Mr Raichand smiling professionally.

Dubai ( 3:30 PM )

Crown Plaza Resort

it's afternoon by now in the country of Dubai. Raghav after taking a long nap due to travelling tiredness woke up an hour ago and was getting ready for his lunch with Mr Gray as decided.

Soon after getting ready Raghav and Farhad both moves towards the lift when Farhad receives a call from his family gaining their attention towards the phone instantly.

"Pick up the phone Farhad. It might be important." said Raghav as soon his eyes notices Ammi flashing on Farhad's phone being generous.

"No Anna we are already late for the lunch and moreover Mr Gray is already waiting for us with his PA in food lobby. Let's go now I will talk to Ammi later." replied Farhad after moving towards the lift and pressing the button after standing infront of it finally.

"Farhad !" were the only word uttered by Raghav in his most firm tone standing behind his most concern full and loyal PA knowing him very well.

"Farhad pick up the phone don't ignore it. It's Aunty's phone. Maybe she needs something as your Abu has also gone out of station just like us and your Ammi is alone in Mumbai. What if she needs some help?" spoke Raghav ahead while knocking some senses in his most loyal employee while staring at him with full assurance knowing him very well.

"But Anna your lunch? I mean how will you go alone ? Body guards had also gone for lunch on your order and that's why I stayed back with you and now you are telling me to attend the call instead of being with you. No Anna I can't leave you alone like this. I will come with you and about Ammi you don't worry I will call her later." said Farhad feeling some kind of uneasiness and restlessness in his heart to leave Raghav alone.

Whereas Raghav sighs unbelievably and slaps his own forehead witnessing his PA cum brother's over concern annoyingly.

"Farhad come on chill. Nothing will happen we are inside the hotel and you are very well aware that the security of this hotel is very strong. So it doesn't matter if I have my body guards or not. You just be relax and call your Ammi back. I will go all alone." assured Raghav while placing his one palm on worried Farhad's shoulder confidently.

Farhad on the other still feeling restless nods his head unwillingly and heads towards another corner to talk to his Ammi on Raghav's order finally.

Raghav whereas smiles in assurance again and moved inside the opened lift heading upwards towards the food lobby smilingly.

"Uff ! This network huh.." scowls Raghav soon as he found no range in his mobile inside the lift being annoyed.

For a while Raghav kept moving his mobile here and there for the range in full irritation when all of a sudden both Raghav and lift jerks up and Raghav startled finding very bad smelling smoke spreading inside the halted lift instantly.

Raghav soon starts coughing and sweat too started forming on his on his entire body feeling suffocated. His phone too dropped from hands feeling weak due to heavily strong smell of the smoke entering inside his nose continuously. By now the lift was completely filled with heavy smell of smoke leading already coughing Raghav to hold his chest and puke out an excessive amount of blood from his mouth for a while and then to fall unconscious finally.

While Farhad was out talking to his Ammi completely unaware of Raghav's state being clueless.

Two Hours Later

India

Mumbai ( 7PM )

It's been 2 hours by now that Sanskaar had left the restaurant after his meeting with Mr Raichand. After his departure from the restaurant, Sanskaar had directly gone to his office for the further procedures of legal papers which was done in an hour itself. Then after his departure from his office too, Sanskaar unwillingly had gone for an another urgent meeting in Jawhar, an another city in Mumbai being professional as well.

And now finally after 2 hours Sanskaar was in his car heading towards his Mansion sitting behind on his seat all busy in his mobile while the driver drives the car silently.

After only 15 minutes of journey the car abruptly halts with a harsh jerk startling both driver and Sanskaar. Sanskaar being busy in his mobile jerks forward and his forehead hits the front seat's back which ultimately resulted the mobile to fall from Sanskaar's hands instantly.

"Owww Dinesh be careful." winced Sanskaar while moving back to his original position rubbing the hitted side of his forehead feeling pain.

"Sorry Sir ! But it seems there's some issues in the engine of the car." said the driver while trying to start the stopped car continuously being confused.

Sanskaar on the other hand frowns while seeing the time and sighs in immense irritation knowing the seriousness of the matter very well being annoyed.

"Ok fine ! Go and check the availability of any mechanic in near by streets. We might get a mechanic soon as we are still in the city of Jawhar." ordered Sanskaar having no option being helpless.

While the driver nods his head obediently and rushes in the search of a mechanic leaving Sanskaar all alone in the middle not so populated road being helpless as well.

"God knows now how long will Dinesh take to find a mechanic in this not so populated streets. Pehle hi it takes 2 hours to reach our city and now repairing the car will take more time. I just hope he finds one and we reach home soon." said Sanskaar all to himself while seeing his wrist watch being worried for both Pallavi and Swara restlessly.

30 minutes had already passed by now and till now Dinesh wasn't back from his hunt with mechanic. Sanskaar being hell frustrated removes his Suit finally and then comes out of his car while scanning the entire road irritatedly.

"Uff ! What's taking so long for this Dinesh to find a mere mechanic ? Ek bhi mechanic nhi mila kya till now ? Lagta hai I have to only to go and search for a mechanic now." frowns Sanskaar angrily while moving ahead in search of a mechanic and his driver after shutting the car's door behind him harshly.

"Body guards ko bhi aaj hi mana karna tujhe the great Mr Maheshwari ? When you knew you are going to another city toh body guards ko le aate apne saath at least by now you could have reached half the way in their car but no tujhe over protective banna tha na? Now bhugto [ why did you deny for bodyguards Today? you should have brought the bodyguards with you today at least by now you could have reached half the way by now. But no you had to become over protective na ? So now suffer. ]. Stupid fellow." cursed Sanskaar all to himself while moving ahead and trying Dinesh's number continuously.

"Now why the hell this Dinesh is not picking up my phone ? Idiot !" spoke Sanskaar yet again and cursed Dinesh as well being irritated.

Soon Sanskaar all busy in his mobile drops his mobile from his hands and soon a loud scream echoes from his mouth feeling a sudden tyrannical hit on his head from back. He starts closing his eyes while touching his injured head feeling immense pain helplessly.

Blood too starts oozing from his head and as a result Sanskaar finally falls down unconcious on the ground on his stomach in the pool of blood feeling weak.
