Vineet was in his room and upset. He knew the truth but Angel wasn't ready to trust him.He was pacing in room restlessly.

“Kya karu aisa jisse Angel ke samne sach aa jaye aur wo is baat ko jhuthla na sake.Uski ankhon se yeh pyar ki patti utar jaye.”He thought.

He opened his phone and typed something on internet.He checked the result and a satisfactory smile appeared on his face.

He checked for some more results.

“Ab sach uske samne aa hi jayega.” He muttered.

it was evening,Vineet came out of his room.He smiled thoughtfully to see Sachin and Ruhana sitting on a couch with Angel, watching television.He played something on music system.Sachin and Ruhana started feeling uneasy as it was gourd music.Ruhana left the place whereas Sachin was filled with sweat and felt weak.He was about to get up but fell back on couch.He covered his ears.

“Stop this music.Band kijiye.”He begged with heavy breathes.

Angel started rubbing his back and tears flowed down to her eyes.”Kya hua Sachin? tum thik ho?”She panicked.

The very next moment she jerked Sachin as his lower body transformed into snake.She started shivering to see him like that.

“Sa...Sa...anp!” She was shivering with fear and fell back on floor..She was moving back in fear.

“J..j..jao.Go away.”She screamed.

It was unbelievable for her that Vineet was true. Sachin was not a human. Sachin tried to touch her face but she jerked him.

“Don’t touch.Vineet please ise bhagao yahan se.”She cried in pain and fear.

“Sachin ab toh jao.Halat dekho iski.”Vineet pleaded.

“An...gel.”Sachin said with difficulty.

“St...ay aw...ay.”She screamed and fainted.She collapsed on floor..Sachin was so helpless and weak that he couldn't even move properly.Vineet rushed towards Angel hurriedly.

“Angel Are you okay?”He patted her cheeks but she was not in her senses.

“Angel!”Sachin tried to touch her but Vineet jerked his hand.

“Hath jodta hoon.Chale jao hamari zindagi se dur.”Vineet said with tears brimming in his eyes. He lifted Angel and moved to her room.He gave her an injection.Sachin was staring at her.Vineet moved towards him angrily,held his hand and dragged him out.

“Vineet aisa mat kijiye.Humein unse milne dijiye.Hum vinti karte hai.Humein milne dijiye bas ek baar.”Sachin was begging to meet his love of life but Vineet turned deaf to his pleadings. He pushed him out of house and glanced at him.

“Aaj main vinti karta hoon agar use zinda dekhna chahte ho na toh uske samne kabhi mat aana.Samajh lena yahi tumhare pyar ki pariksha hai.”Vineet shouted.

Sachin joined his hands.”Bas ek baar dekhne dijiye hum unse bahut prem karte hai.”Sachin spoke tearily.

“Halat nahi dikh rahi hai tumhe uski.chahte kya ho tum ki wo marr jaye,thik hai jao mil lo use.Agar use kuch bhi hua na toh uske responsible tum honge.”Vineet shouted badly which made Sachin shiver.

“Nahi!Hum aisa kuch nahi chahte.hum toh..”Sachin words remained incomplete as Vineet cut him.

“Nahi chahte na uska bura toh chale jao yahan se.”He said.”Aur haan apni dost ko bhi le jana.”He said and shut the door on his face.

Sachin fell on his knees and cried loudly. Meanwhile, Ruhana came and tapped his shoulder.

“Aaj nahi toh kal yeh hona hi tha. Yeh sach hum chhipa nahi sakte the.”She said.

Sachin turned his gaze towards her.

”hum unhe khud sach batana chahte the par is tarah sach samne ayega kabhi socha nahi tha.” Sachin said while wiping his tears.

“Hum kuch nahi kar sakte.Hum insaan nahi hai yeh hamara sabse durbhagya hai Sachin. Humein toh pyar karne ka haq bhi nahi hai. Hamara ek sach saamne aaya aur sab khatam ho gaya. Jinse hum pyar karte hai aaj wo hi humse nafrat karte hai. Isi wajah se hum Vineet ji se dur rehte the par dil ke hatho majboor ho gaye aur.”She shut her eyes and let the tears flow.

“Main apne pyar ko yun khatam nahi hone dunga.Use hamari is sachai ko samjhna hoga aur svikaar karna hoga.”Sachin said while looking at door.

“Aap chaliye yahan se hum yahan aur nahi ruk sakte..Yeh sab hum baad mein dekh lenge.”Ruhana said and dragged him towards jungle.

….

Vineet moved upstairs and entered into Angel’s room.Angel was lying unconscious.

He was looking at her with teary eyes.He caressed her hairs and sat beside her.

“Hum chale jayenge yahan se.Nahi rahenge.Rukne ki wajah bhi toh nahi bachi na Angel.”He said to himself.

“Vineet!!”Angel screamed and got up instantly.Vineet held her hands.

“Calm down Angel.Wo log chale gaye.”He tried to pacify her.

“Wo saanp hai.Sachin Saanp.Wo mujhe maar dega.chalo Mum..mum.bai..Chalo.”She was saying in fear.Her fear was visible on her face. Vineet hugged her tightly.

“Hum subah hote hi chale jayenge.Nahi rehna hai yahan.Sab dhokha tha sab.Sab jhuth.”He said,patting her head.Angel kept her head on his chest and still shivering with the reality.
