Shivaay went to guest room but he doesn't find Annika on the bed. So he looked around the room and spot her near the window. She is looking at some birds in the sky smilingly. Shivaay get lost in her angelic face. He started checking her out.

S(mind)-"Kitni khubsurat lag rahi hai yeh smile karte hue. Mann karta hai ke uske paas jau aur.....aur??? Aur kya? Shivaay tu pagal ho gaya hai kya? Kuch bhi kaise sochta hai tu? Par sach me,isse dekhte hi sab kuch bhul jaata hu me."

      He came back from his dream land by a phone ringtone. Annika turned towards the voice and saw Shivaay at the door. She came towards him and stand in front of him. He quickly answers the phone and disconnects after listening to the person at other side.

A-"Ji aap yaha?"

S-"Ha.....wo....me.....mithai.....deal....."

A-"Ji??? Kya bol rahe hai aap?"

S-"Ji woh.....woh aaj hamari company ko ek badi deal mil gayi. Isiliye ye mithai. "

A-"Oh.Congratulations "

S-"Thanks,ye lijiye."
      He gave her mithai. His hand touched hers. She quickly take her hand back and looks down.

A-"Ye.....yeh mithai me nahi kha sakti "

S-"Kyu??? Aur please phir woh mat kehna me widow hu aur widow ko koi haqq nahi hota and all. Aisa kuch nahi hota. Aap kha lijiye."

A-"Ji woh baat nahi hai."
S-"Phir kya hua?"
A-"Yeh.....yeh toh laddoo hai."
S-"Ha.....toh?"
A-"Laddoo unko bahut pasand the."
S-"Kisko??"
A-"Mere pati ko"
S-"Oh....."
A-"Ha unhe bahut pasand the laddoo. Hamesha mujhe banane ke liye kehte the. Aur bahut taarif bhi karte the mere laddoo ki."

      She said and started crying.

S-"Dekhiye please aap royiye mat. Yeh lijiye rumal."

A-"Kaise na rou ne. Mere pati kitne acchhe the. Bahut pyaar karte the mujhse. Laddoo bahut pasand the unhe." She said cryingly.

S-"Aap har baat me aapke pati ko kyu laati hai beech me. It's ok, agar aapko nahi khana then no problem."
       He said and take laddoo from her.

A-"Are nahi nahi. Aapne itne pyaar se dia hai kha leti hu."

      She said and take laddoo from him and smiled. He too smiled and went from there. Annika kissed the laddoo.

A-"Bechara kitna jealous ho raha tha mere pati ke baare me sunkar. Lagta hai woh mujhe pasand karne laga hai."

At night,
Pinky brought Annika to the dinning table.

P-"Baitho beta,aaj se tum yahi dinner karogi hamare saath."

A-"Thank you aunty"

Shakti-"Beta ab kaisi tabiyat hai tumhari? "

A-"Thik hai uncle"

Sh-"Accha ek baat batao. Tumhare gharwalo ne tumhe ghar se nikala hai. Ab yeh baat tumhare mom-dad ko batani hogi na. Tum address do me unhe contact kar lunga."

Annika started crying.
P-"Kya hua beta?"
A-"Woh.....woh.....me anaath hu."

      She said and all became silent. Shivaay feel really bad for her.

P-"Accha.....rote nahi hai beta. Chalo khana khao."

Sh-"Ha beta sorry"

A-"Koi baat nahi uncle ji. Waise bhi mere pati ne mujhe kabhi unki kami mehsus nahi hone di. Bahut acche hai mere pati.....I mean the."

      She said and looked at Shivaay from corner of her eyes. Shivaay looks at her and then make irritate face and started eating his food without any word.
      All of them finish dinner. Pinky gave Annika medicines and then went to her room with Shakti. Sundar also left to his house. Annika also went to her room that is guest room and started thinking about her next plan. After sometime she gets a khidkitod idea. So,she slowly came out of room and goes to Shivaay's room.(She roam all house in afternoon when no one is at home. So,she knows Shivaay's room.) The room door is open ,she peeped from outside in the room but doesn't find him. She gets disappointed and went from there. She came to the hall and there she saw him sitting on the couch working on his laptop. She smiled at him and before he notices her she turns. She opens the chit which is in her hands and started remembering the lines. Then she smiled and cleared her throat and started singing,

Na koi umang hai,
Na koi tarang hai.....

      Shivaay gets disturbed by the voice. He looks here and there but doesn't find anyone. Again same voice came,he stood up and went towards the voice. He saw Annika walking on  the staircase. Annika looked at him from the corner of her eyes and again started song.

Na koi umang hai,
Na koi tarang hai,
Meri zindagi bhi kya,
Ek Kati patang hai.....

      She walked towards the terrace and open the terrace door. Shivaay also came there following her. She finishes the song and started crying. Shivaay stood still. After sometime she walked to the edge of the terrace and looks down.

A(mind)-"Chal Annika, ab shuru ho ja."

A(loudly)-"Aap kyu mujhe chod kr chale gaye? Ab mujhe jeene ka koi haqq nahi hai. Me aa rahi hu aapke paas."

      She said and waits for Shivaay's reaction but he doesn't move from his place. So,she walks forward and ready to jump. Shivaay who is lost somewhere came to his senses and ran to her. He pull her backwards,she stumbled and both fell on the ground. She was on top of him. Both get lost in each others eyes. After sometime,Annika realizes their position and stood up. Shivaay also gets embarrassed and gets up. He looks at her angrily.

S-"Pagal hai aap? Kya kar rahi thi?"

A-"Mujhe nahi jeena hai. Mujhe apne pati ke paas jana hai. Me ek widow hu aur widow ko jeene ka koi haqq....."

S-"Stop it,just stop it. Kitni baar bola hai maine aapko ki aisa kuch nahi hota hai. Aur aap aise kaise jaan de sakti hai aapki. Agar aapko kuch ho jata toh....."

A-"Toh???"

S-"Toh kya..... Yeh duniya kitni khoobsurat hai. Aise kaise aap chod ke jaati yeh duniya. Aapko aapki life puri tarah se enjoy karni chahiye."

A-"Kiske liye jiyu par me....."

S-"Mere liye..... I mean kiske liye matlab? Aap khud ke liye jeena sikhiye. Khud ke liye jeena,life enjoy karna ye kaafi accha experience hai,suicide karne se toh behtar hi hai."

A-"Me jaanti hu. Me bhi apni life enjoy karna chahti hu. Par kaise???"

S-"Kaise matlab? Bahut saare tarike hai."

A-"Par kaun help karega meri?"

S-"Mai karunga na. I mean mai aapki help karunga aapko aapke dukh se bahar aane ke liye."

A-"Thank you. Par kaise?"

S-"Are it's very simple. Look at these flowers. "
      He pointed towards the Rose plants in one corner of the terrace.

S-"Dekhiye kitne khoobsurat hai,hai na?"
      Annika started crying.

S-"Kya hua aapko? Ro kyu rahi hai aap phir se?"

A-"Ros.....Rose flowers. Mere pati mere liye roz Rose flowers laate the."

      Shivaay gets irritated with her husband's taarif.
S-"Ok, leave it. Look at the moon,look how beautiful the moon is."

A-"Chand ko dekhte hi mujhe apne pati ki yaad aati hai."

      Shivaay makes irritated face.
S(murmured)-"Kyu? Woh takle the kya? "

A-"Kya kaha aapne?"

S-"Kuch nahi. Me jaata hu,neend aa rahi hai mujhe."

      He started walking towards the door.

A-"Kya hua? Aap toh meri help kar rahe the na?"

S-"Dekhiye Annika ji, me aapki help nahi kar sakta. Kyunki me kuch bhi dikhau aapko aapke pati yaad aate hai. Agar me kal ek patthar(stone) bhi dikhata du,phir bhi aap bolegi ki mere pati waise the."

      Annika try hard not to laugh at his talk and kept steady face.

A-"I am sorry"

S-"Dekhiye Annika ji,agar aap aapke past ko bhul nahi jaayegi toh present me kaise jii paayegi,kaise khush rahegi? Aapko koshish karni hogi aapka dukh bhulane ki."

A-"Ji me puri koshish karungi. Thank you, aapne mujhe samjhaya."

S-"hmmm,so aaj se no rona dhona." She smiled.

S-"So,friends?" He forwards his hand she shakes her hand with his hand.

A-"hmmm friends." Both smiled.

A-"Thank you"

S-"Dekhiye Annika ji, dosti me no sorry no thank you."

A-"Ok. Aur aap mujhe sirf Annika bula sakte hai. Annika ji sunkar aisa lagta hai me budhi hu."

S-"Ok then same applies to you too."

      Both smiled and went to sleep after wishing each other good night.
