Kartik walks inside the church and looks around. It's very silent and he can hear his own footsteps. He looks around in amazement as it's the first time he has come on his own to a place of worship. He hears a soft piano and a sweet voice singing praises of the lord....

He gets attracted to the voice and walks to that direction. He sees a girl dressed in soft pink colored clothes bent over a piano. Her fingers caress the piano and her hairs shine.

Naira moves across to see the face – he smiles on recognition – its Naira! She has closed her eyes and is singing in a sweet voice.

Soon the song comes to an end, she opens her eyes and is surprised to find Kartik in front of her.

Kartik smiles

but she doesn't respond instead she just stares at him.

She sees as he looks behind him, then looks at her waving his hands. She still continues to stare, now he walks to her.

Kartik: kabse haath dikhaa raha hoon....mujhe pehchaana nahi kya? Main Kartik hoon..tumhari madat ki thi uss raat...tumhara woh ? hellllooo?

Naira (snaps out): hi Kartik...Woh maine socha main koi sapna dekh rahi hoon..tum toh sach me yahan ho...

Kartik: Haan..woh main bass aa gaya....

Naira: Lagta hai aaj God ne tumhe bulaya...ab aa gaye ho toh pray bhi kar lo...

Kartik: main bas yunhi aa gaya tha....yeh pray wray sab nahi hoga..kuch nahi hota iss sabse..

Naira smiles and goes near the altar of God. She kneels down and prays,Kartik is attracted to her and watches her keenly. She opens her eyes and makes a symbol of cross. She lights a candle.

She gets up and comes near Kartik.

Naira: waise..tum yahan kyun aaye?

Kartik (remembering): woh..mujhe...yeh wallet mila bahar toh...he shows her the wallet...

Naira (surprised): yeh toh papa ki purse hai...Papa bhi naa...unhe kuch khayal nahi hota jab woh busy ho jaate hai...tumhe kahan se mili?

Kartik (murmuring): Ohh..toh Woh buddha iska baap hai....

Naira: Kya? Kya kaha?

Kartik: Kya? Nahi...Woh mujhe bass yahan gate pe mil gaya thaa....toh main dene aa gaya..

Naira: Toh chalo..Papa office me honge...main tumhe milvaati hoon..unhe honest aur naik dil logon ki bahut kadar hai..

Kartik: Honest? Naik dil? aur main?

Naira: Haan....aaj kal kaun itni takleef uthata hai..log toh god ke paise tak churaa lete hai...ur tumhara naik dil toh ussi din dekh liya tha maine jab tumne meri madat ki...ab chaloo naa...

Naira holds his hand and leads him towards the office. Naira's touch makes him feel loved, cared. He follows her inhaling her hair scent...

Some workers are standing on tall ladders working on the walls of the church. A huge glass showpiece slips from the hands of a worker and falls down. The man screams in warning. Naira feels a pull backwards and finds herself falling down and hears a loud crash. She shuts her eyes tightly in fear and shivers. After few seconds she feels something pounding against her cheek. It's a rhythm- that's increasing with the passing second. She moves her gaze upwards – she can see Kartik's face up close to hers...her right hand moves up to his chest to the place where his heart is ! his heartbeats increase and his grip around her tightens...

Father Andrew: Oh Dear God ! Naira...you are alright? Nairaaaa.....

Naira and Kartik look around, the workers have gathered and a very concerned looking Father Andrew is already bent touching Naira's head...

They both realise what position they are in and immediately get up. Naira looks around and gasps to see the big showpiece on the ground – in many pieces some of them sharp !

She hugs Father Andrew. He caresses her back.

Father Andrew: Naira....are you okay? Tumhe kahin lagi toh nahi naa..

Naira nods her head in the hug. Father Andrew prays his thanks to the lord.

Naira: I am fine papa..woh...sahi time pe Kartik ne..Kartik ne bachaa liya..

Father Andrew looks at Kartik and gives a soft smile.

Father Andrew: (holds Kartik's hand): Thank you son..aaj tumne meri sabse precious gift ko bachaya...tum aaj mere angel banke aaye ho..

Kartik (looking at Naira): yeh..yeh toh mera farz tha..main koi angel wangel nahi hoon...

Father Andrew: nahi Son...yeh sab god ki marzi hai....warna tum church kyun aate..tumhe God ne bhejaa...meri Naira ko bachaane....

Kartik wonders if this would be true.

Father Andrew: Son...tum theekh ho..kahin koi injury..Oh dear lord! Yeh tumhare haathon me kya hua? Naira..jaldi se dressing karo....

Naira takes him to the office and brings the first aid box.

Kartik: Arre..yeh dawaai patti ki koi zaroorat nahi hai...mamooli chot hai...1-2 din me theekh ho jayega...

Naira: tumhare haathon me glass pieces hai....main nikaalti hoon..

Naira first cleans his wound and then brings a tweezer to remove the pieces. She holds it carefully and takes out the pieces.

Kartik : Ahhhhhhhh...he winces in pain. Naira looks up immediately and has tears in her eyes.

Kartik looks in amazement, Naira feels his pain.

Naira : Bahut dard ho raha hai? I am sorry..meri wajah se..

Kartik feels bad to see tears in her eyes. He nods his head as No and controls his pain. She carries on removing the pieces of glass and later applies antiseptic and blows on his hand.

Naira (wiping tears): Abhi bhi dard hai?

Kartik (nodding as No): Nahi...ab koi dard nahi hai.. tum rooo mat...main theekh hoon..

She smiles and later they both walk out together.

Naira: Thank you Kartik.....aaj phir se tumne meri madat ki...papa ne theekh kaha...You are an angel..

Kartik: tum mujhe baar baar angel kyun kehti ho..main itna bhi acha nahi hoon..

Naira: Tum mere liye angel ho..Bye Kartik..apna khayal rakhna..

She waves her hand and turns to go inside the church.

Kartik: Naira... she turns back

He hands over the wallet to her. Naira takes it and smiles again.

Naira: Thank you Kartik...She turns to go.

Naira: Kartik! Kartik turns back immediately

Naira: I will keep you in my prayers....Bye..Naira goes inside and hands the purse to her father.

Father Andrew: Kartik sach me bahut acha hai....bahut honest bhi hai....warna aaj kal kaun itne saare paise return karega? Isme church ke 5 lakh ka cheque thaa...Jesus usse achi raah dikhaaye...

He is searching for something inside in the purse.

Naira: kya dhoondh rahe hai Papa?

Father Andrew: Isme tumhari ek choti si photo thi..pata nahi kahan gir gayi....

....Outside Kartik looks at the small picture of Naira and keeps it hidden in his wallet.

Kartik (smiles in his mind): pata nahi...aisi khushi kyun mil rahi hai....sahi kaha tha Father Andrew ne..bahut precious hai....

Flashback over

Kartik opens his wallet and shows the small picture to Naira.

Naira (touches it): Yeh...meri photo...kitni puraani hai..tumne sambhaal ke rakhi hai...

Kartik: tumhari har yaad mere liye bahut precious hai..kyunki Woh tumhari yaad hai....
