It was the day of the play. Since morning Agastya and all his team members were very busy. Agastya was looking after the lights, prompts and everything else that was needed in the play. He wanted everything to be perfect.

Now it was evening time. The play was about to start within half an hour. Agastya was making everyone understand about their work for the last time.

"Sir! Mr. Ishaan Rana aap se milna chahte hai. He is waiting outside." Said one of his team members.

Agastya paused for a while hearing that and then said, "Tell him that I'm coming."

The girl nodded and left from there.

After sometime, Agastya came outside and saw Ishaan standing. Seeing him, Ishaan gave a slight smile.

"Seems like you are busy." He said.

"Of course. First play after a long break. Khayal rakhna padhta hai taa ki sab kuch thik thak se ho." Said Agastya.

"Waise tumhara kaise aana hua?" He asked further.

"Main USA jaa raha hoon kuch dino ke liye. Tumhe toh paata hi hai mera aur Rumi ka divorce hone wala hai. Court se jo 6 mahine ka time mila hai socha uss hi dauran thoda break le loon. Abhi iski mujhe bohut zaroorat hai. So before leaving I just came to apologise to you." Said Ishaan sadly.

"Apologies?" Asked Agastya with disbelief.

Ishaan nodded in yes and said, "Uss din mujhe tumhare saath misbehave nahi karna chahiye tha. Rumi ne baad mein mujhe sab kuch baataya. Actually I was scared. I didn't want our relationship to break. But now I feel that a broken relationship is more beautiful than a forced one. Mera aur Rumi ka rishta tut na hi tha. And I was blaming you for no reason. Sorry Agastya, aaj se der saal pehle maine jo tumhare saath kiya tha uske liye bhi, aur uss din jo hua uske liye bhi."

"It's ok Ishaan. Past is past. And uss din jo hua, tumhari jagah koi bhi hota toh yeh hi karta. I understand that." Said Agastya calmly.

Ishaan sighed and said, "I am glad that everything is clear between us. Main chalta hoon. Phir milenge dost. And wish you good luck with Sukoon."

Agastya's face turned pale hearing that. Ishaan was leaving when he said, "Main aur Sukoon ab saath nahi hai."

Ishaan stopped and looked at him frowning.

"Sorry I...didn't know. Hope you guys sort it out soon." He said and left from there.

Agastya smiled sadly and thought, "It's not possible now."

He again went back to work. Everything was going good suddenly one of their team members came and said, "Guys there is a big problem. Humare male lead ko chot lag gayi hai."

"What?" They all freaked out.

"Where is he?" Asked Agastya.

"Rehearsal room mein."

Agastya, Farah and Rishabh immediately went to the rehearsal room. There they saw Rumi standing while the male lead was sitting on the floor holding his one leg.

"Rumi, what happened?" Asked Farah.

"Nothing we were just practicing our dance performance one last time when he suddenly got slipped." Said Rumi.

They picked the guy and made him sit on a chair.

"We have to call a doctor. Fast!" Said Agastya and Rishabh immediately called the doctor.

After sometime the doctor came and checked the guy's ankle. Meanwhile they postponed their play for one hour because of this.

After checking his ankle, the doctor said, "Dekhiye yeh chal toh sakte hai. Par main suggest karunga ki yeh dance na kare. Inke injury ke liye sahi nahi rahega."

Everyone became worried hearing that.

"Last wala dance toh play ka main attraction hai. Puri story ko uss gaane ke through baataya gaya hai. Agar woh hi nahi hua toh.... Shit!" Said Agastya.

"Calm down. We can't think of any other way." Said Farah.

"What other way? Doctor ne saaf saaf bol diya yeh dance nahi kar sakta. Toh kya ab iski jagah hum nachenge?" Said Rishabh.

"Waise proxy ka idea bura nahi hai." Said Rumi suddenly.

Agastya frowned and asked, "Matlab?"

"Pure play mein hum dono toh rahenge hi. Par agar last ke performance mein humari story koi aur baataye toh uss mein galat kya hai? Even movies mein bhi aisa hota hai. Last ka dance performance mere saath koi aur kar lega." Explained Rumi.

"Kaun karega?" Asked Rishabh.

Rumi thought for sometime and said, "Only Agastya can do this. As a director usse saare steps paata hai. Warna koi aur itne kam time mein yeh nahi kar payega. I think Agastya should take his place."

"What are you saying? I won't do this. Hum kuch aur soch lenge." Said Agastya. He had no wish to perform with Rumi.

"Bro sochne ka time nahi hai. Main yeh kehna toh nahi chahta par yaaha Rumi sahi hai. Sirf tu hi yeh performance kar sakta hai. Aur tera toh experience bhi hai, you have done this before."

As soon as Rishabh said this, Agastya remembered the play where he performed with Sukoon. He smiled remembering it. He didn't want to share stage with anyone other than his Sukoon. But today he had to do it. At least for his team.

"Haan bol de Agastya." Said Farah.

Finally Agastya agreed and said, "Ok. Pehle play toh suru karo. Last wala main kar lunga."

Rumi immediately smiled hearing that. Things were going according to her plan. She looked at the guy who was playing the role of the male lead and gave him a thank you look as he helped her a lot in this.

Soon Agastya left from there. Rishabh and Farah were also going to leave but stopped seeing Rumi smiling.

"Tum kyu itna smile de rahi ho? Sach sach baatao. Inn sab mein bhi tumhara koi plan hai na?" Asked Farah suspiciously.

Rumi gave a fake smile and said, "Bohut bada plan hai. You will get to know. Abhi main jaau? Play ka time ho raha hai."

Saying that she left from there with the male lead.

"Bitch! Accha hai aaj hi last day hai. Play ke baad at least picha toh chhutega iss kamini se." Said Farah making an annoyed face.

On the other hand, Sukoon and Seema Dadi were standing outside the Mumbai railway station. They were in hurry. They had to reach somewhere at any cost.

"Ek bhi taxi kyu nahi dikh rahi aas paas?" Asked Seema Dadi looking here and there.

"Paata nahi. Play bhi suru hogaya hai sayad. Aaj hi train ko late karna tha. Aur abhi taxi bhi nahi mil rahi, naa hi auto. Rukiye main unn Bhaisahab se puch ke aati hoon."

Saying that Sukoon went to a person and asked, "Yaaha aas paas koi auto yaa taxi kyu nahi dikh rahi?"

"Aap ko nahi paata? Madam aaj taxi aur auto ki hartal hai. Ab toh kaal hi milegi." Replied the person making Sukoon worried.

"Ab hum kaise jaayenge?" She asked Seema Dadi.

"Teri hi galti hai. Last moment mein decision lene ki kya zaroorat thi? Uss din Rumi ke saath hi chali aati. Par nahi. Tujhe toh bhaav khana tha. Ab bhugto." She said showing fake anger.

"Ahhaaan! Main naraz thi na." Said Sukoon whining.

"Wah! Ek ki narazgi dur nahi hoti. Dusre ki galat fahmi dur nahi hoti. Kamal ki jodi hai! Tum dono pe chhor diya na, buddhe ho jaoge phir bhi kuch sahi nahi hoga. Accha hua jo main aa gayi. Ab dekhti hoon kaise juda hote ho dono."

"Dadi uss se pehle humein theatre mein pohuch na hoga. Woh sochiye kaise pohuchenge."

"Chal ke. Aur kaise?"

"Lekin aap ke toh ghutno mein dard hai."

"Uss dard ko maaro goli. Mere ghutno se zyada toh tum dono ke dil mein dard ho raha hai. Pehle uska toh ilaz karu? Aur kya paata jaa ke koi humein lift de de. Ab chal."

Sukoon nodded and they started walking. On the way they asked for lifts to some cars but nobody helped them. After walking some distance Sukoon again saw a car and showed her hand.

The car stopped near Sukoon and Seema Dadi and two people came out of the car.

"Mam, namastey. Kaisi hai aap?" Said the guy touching Seema Dadi's feet.

Seema Dadi tried to recognise the guy.

"Mujhe nahi pehchana? Main aap ka student, Veer. " Said Veer and Seema Dadu finally recognised him.

"Arrey Veer. Kaise ho tum?" Asked Seema Dadi.

"Main thik hoon. Aap iss se miliye. Meri wife Sameera." Said Veer introducing his wife.

"Aap Seema Dadi ko jaante ho?" Asked Sukoon.

"Haan. Yeh school mein meri English teacher thi." Replied Veer.

Sukoon became happy hearing that and said, "Yeh toh bohut accha hua. Aap humari ek help kar denge? Humein XYZ theatre mein pohuchna hai. Abhi iss hi waqt. Aap please humein waha tak chhor denge?"

"Asal mein hum dono toh ghar jaa rahe the...."

"Please try to understand. Mera waha pohuchna bohut zaroori hai. Agastya ka play hai aaj. I have to be with him. Please!" Pleaded Sukoon.

"I think it's a matter of love. We should help her." Said Sameera to which Veer smiled.

"Zaldi aa jaaiye." Said Veer and they all got inside the car. Veer started driving.

"Waise main tumhari situation se relate kar paa rahi hoon." Said Sameera to Sukoon. "Main bhi Veer se apne dil ki baat kehne ke liye ek baar aise hi bhagi thi. Aur abhi jo bechaini tumhare andar ho rahi hai na, uss waqt mere andar bhi ho rahi thi."

"Aap ki love story bhi humari tarah complicated thi?" Asked Sukoon.

"Ho sakta hai. Pehle yeh toh baatao, story kya hai tumhari aur.... Agastya ki?"

"It's a long story."

"Short mein baata do." Said Veer.

"Kuch words mein bolu toh.... It's broken but beautiful."

Hearing this, Veer and Sameera looked at each other and smiled thinking something.

After sometime...

It was the time of the last dance performance. Agastya came to the theatre and looked at the audience. He didn't know why but he was trying to find Sukoon among them. Maybe at some point he still expected her to come as it was his big day.

Shrugging off his thoughts, Agastya closed his eyes and took a deep breath, preparing himself for the dance performance.
