Sameeksha's POV
"Yaar ese kese le aau?" Sumedh asked on phone. "Sumedh...dekho" I said in a calm voice, "Bandana boht ziddi hai, meri maano to aa jao. Agar zidd pe adh geyi to..." I said and stopped. He sighed. "Sameeksha...ese kese chalega?" He asked. I kept quiet.

Bandana snatched the phone from my hands. "Agar mujhe mera phone naa mila to naa khaungi, naa piunghi aur naa aapse kabhi baat krungi!" She almost shouted and gave me the phone. "Yaar yeh kya baat hui? Naa hi, naa hello seedha chilla rhi ho?" Sumedh asked. I chuckled.

"Phone mujhe de dia usne" I said.
He kept quiet for a couple of moments. "Aa raha hu" He said. I smiled. "Okay bye!" I said and disconnected the call. Bandana looked at me for an answer.

"Bol raha bhaad me jaae Bandana, me nhi aa raha" I said. "Ho hi nhi sakta!" She said crossing her arms. "Mat maan, esa hi kaha usne" I said. "Bakwaas kar rhi hai tu" She said. "Okay" I said and sat down.

"Sameekshaaaa!!!!" She came to me with a puppy face. "Mene kya samjha tha aur woh..." She said. "Mene itna bharosa kia aur woh..." She said. "Mene itna..." She said and stopped.

"Drama mat kar, aa raha hai woh" I said. She looked at me. Suddenly she started jumping in excitment.

Devaki's POV
Karan and I were sitting near graveyard's gate. My head was resting on his shoulder.

"Tumhare jaane ke baad Mummy, Papa aur me yaha Varanasi aae the" Karan started. "Me unn dino boht disturbed tha. Gangaa Aarti ke lie shaam ko ham yaha aae aur wapas jaate waqt me ek aghori se takraa gaya" He said holding my hand. "Galati meri thi par me fir bhi uspe chillaya. Hamara jhagda ho gaya. Mujhe pta nhi tha yeh log itne powerful hote hai. Uss aghori ne mujhe shraap de daala...aur..." He said and stopped. I guessed the next bit of the story.

I looked at him. "Fir usne bataya nhi ke tum theek kese hoge?" I asked. He shook his head. "Uske lie hi hamesha yaha aata hu, par yeh log mujhe yaha se bhaga dete hai...aaj bhi isi lie ham yaha aae hai" He explained.

"Tu phir se aa gaya?" Someone asked in a loud voice. We looked at the person. It was an aghori. "Baba, mene kitni baar maafi maangi aapse...ab to bta dijie me kese theek hunga" Karan pleaded. The aghori rolled his eyes. "Chala jaa yaha se!" He shouted. "Aghori ka gussa tabahi laa sakta hai, bachna chahta hai to chala jaa!" He yelled. We stepped back. Karan wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we left.

Bandana's POV
The haldi ceremony was going on. We were having fun while applying haldi on each other. Aarushi was sitting and watching us. I applied haldi on Sameeksha's cheek. She widened her eyes and mouth. Then, she touched her cheek and looked at her hand.

"Teri itni himmat!!!" She shouted. I laughed. "Ukhadle jo ukhaadna hai!" I challenged her. She took some haldi. I stood up and started running. She started running after me.

"Aaja kutri aaja!" I said while running backwards. She slowed down at a point and smirked. "Thakk geyi? Aa na ab!" I said, but she stopped. I slowed down and suddenly collided with someone. The person held my arms in order to give me and himself balance.

I turned to see who it was. I widened my eyes. An ear to ear smile came on my face. It was Sumedh! Finally!!
