---------------#--------------------

"We choose some friends, and they are close to our hearts. Some friends we make by accident and they become special."

A journey that started with chaos, will take a swift turn? The answer is unknown. People say, a night train journey, always leaves you with a bucket full of memories. As the boarding time was late, passengers immediately took seats to sleep. 

But sleep was away from the two souls who were preparing themselves for the new journey. A coupe of 1st class AC was giving Naina and Rajveer a feel of intimacy. Both were silent, but the silence was not uncomfortable, their calm faces were showing their acceptance towards this feel.

Rajveer placed his bags securely under the seats and sat comfortably on his seat, when his eyes got fixed on Naina, who was struggling with her two bags and twisted ankle.

He thought to help her, so said in a very normal voice, which sounded like a taunt for Naina 

"Chal nahi paa rahi ho theek se, par bags tumhe do lane hain, train ka safar side karogi toh 3 din hi rehna hain hume wahan, ek janam nahi jo do bade bade bags leke aagayi."

Naina looked towards him sharply and said in a not so sweet voice

"Tumhe night blindness ke saath saath sham me sunai bhi nahi deta hain kya? Agar nahi deta please kisi doctor ko consult karwa lo jaake. Yeh dono bags maine nahi Pooja ne pack kiye hain. Aur mujhe pata hain ki hum waha 3 din hi rukenge Pooja ko jo jaruri laga usne pack kar diya.  Aur apne is taunted concern ko apne paas rakho, main khud ka khayal khud rakh sakti hun."

Rajveer clenched his jaw at her voice, but controlled himself and said 

"Hato tum, mujhe rakhne do. Tumhe main yaha apne risk pe leke aaya hun. Agar tumhe kuch bhi hua toh bhaiya, dean sabko jawab mujhe hi dena padega. So hato and let me do it."

Naina retorted back to him

"Yeh guardian hun main tumhara wala attitude kisi aur ko jaake dikhaao. Maine nahi kaha tha tumhe, mujhe apne saath lane aur na main jana chahti thi, majburi mein aayi hun tumhare saath to jyada udo mat tum, samjhe? Bade aaye help karne wale, theek se bolna to sikh lo pehle ki kisi ladki se tamiz se pyaar se baat kaise ki jaati hain, phir aake yeh sab bakwas bolna mujhe."

Rajveer was ready to reply to her back, how could she accuse him, that too when it's groundless. But destiny again laughed at their naivety. People are nothing, but a puppet of destiny. Where Rajveer and Naina were busy arguing, destiny was writing something different for them. 

The train which was moving smoothly, suddenly applied the brake, and Naina and Rajveer lost their balance. The bag Naina was holding fall to the ground while Naina, who was trying to balance herself, fall on Rajveer's lap.

Rajveer to save both of them, hold her from her waist. But the mere touch brought a sensation in his body. Naina, who cannot bear anyone's touch, was lost somewhere in his eyes, which shows nothing but respect and something else, which Naina could not decipher. 

Her every nerve started emitting heat, a slight touch can bring so many effects that were unknown to them. Rajveer looked intently in her eyes, there was no inhibition or anger. Her eyes were soft.

But again destiny has a hard laugh seeing them. Before they could read those unspoken words, before they could decipher the reason behind being so cold, the train started moving, forcing them to come out from their little intimate moment.

Naina immediately stood up from his lap and straightened her top, while Rajveer cleared his throat and said

"Naina please mujhe kar lene do. Train bahut move kar rahi hain. Tumhare pair me moch aayi hui hain. Main kar dunga."

Naina just nodded her head and moved apart to drink water, while Rajveer after closing the bags properly placed them under the seat.

Naina took her book and after opening the curtains properly and covering herself with a sheet, she started reading her book. Rajveer to clear the atmosphere said 

"Naina, dekho ab hume pure  3 4 din saath mein hi guzarne hain, to aise chup chap, sulk karke, yeh time nikalna impossible hain. And the most important thing, hum dono ke bade bhai sirf bahut acche dost hi nahi balki business partners bhi hain. Un dono ki jaan basti hai ek dusre mein, chahe jitna lade jhagde, ghum phir ke inhe sukoon ek dusre mein hi milta hain.

 Aur sirf yahin nahi, humare families me bhi kafi strong bonding hain. Woh baat alag hain ki hum pehli baar mile the college mein, use pehle kabhi nahi. Main nahi chahta hu ki humari wajah se unlogo ke beech mein koi problem ho. So let's start afresh. Can we be friends?"

Naina thought for a few minutes and agreed with him, by forwarding her hand to seal the deal. Rajveer with a smile shook his hand with her and went back to his seat, holding his guitar and strumming it.

As the train moved and time passed, the soothing tune of Rajveer's guitar, with a dimly lit coupe, made a perfect moment for Naina to read her book. A moment which maybe every girl will like to spend.

As the clock struck 1 at night, Naina slept, holding her book in her hand. Rajveer kept his guitar safely, moved towards Naina's seat, hold her like a small delicate doll and adjusted her properly on the seat and covered her. So that she don't catch cold or wake up with a stiff neck and went back to his seat, to spend the rest of the night, looking at the serene face of Naina, which is rare to see.

Where Rajveer was busy remembering every little feature of Naina, Pooja was drinking water. Harshad got irritated, as within 2hr she finished four bottles, and finally asked

"Problem kya hain tumhari? Jab se train me chadhi ho, yeh chauthi bottle khatam ki hain tumne. Aisa hi agar chalata raha na toh 5 ghante me tum 20 bottle paani pee logi."

Pooja immediately replied him in cold voice

"Are waah kya baat hain. Bada dhyan diya jaa raha hain mujh par ki maine chaar bottle paani pii li ya phir panch? Itna toh mujhe bhi pata nahi tha. Aur pani main pii rahi hun takleef tumhe kyun ho rahi hain? Problem kya hain tumhari? Chup kar ke so jaao, warna panchvi bottle khali hone ke baad,  bharne tumhe hi bhejungi main."

Harshad looked shocked, and said while fumbling

"Tum...tum, badi hi badtameez ho yaar tum. Maine toh bas isliye kahan,taki washroom mein baar baar bhagna naa pade tumhe. Ise kehte hain, neki kar aur naale me daal. Puri train ko jaga kar ise paani pina hain. Chod Harshad aur apni kachori khane pe dhyan de, warna thandi ho jayegi."

Pooja made an "o" shape on her face and said while gritting her teeth

"Oh hello! Badtameez kisko bola tumne? Mujhko? Jawab dena Badtmeezi hain, pata nahi tha mujhe. Waise bhi paani main piyungi aur raat bhar washroom bhi main hi jaungi. Tum thodi jaa rahe ho jo itni problem ho rahi hain?

 Aur tum to tameez ki baat mat hi karo khud kachori khaa rahe ho, ek bite tak offer nahi ki, yahan jo main kab se bhuki, pyaasi saath me safar kar rahi hu tumhare saath, pucha tumne mujhse kachori ke liye? Nahi naa? Bade aaye mujhe badtameez bolne wale. Huh!"

Harshad immediately replied

"Tumhare padosi ko bola tha maine badtameez. Yahan pe hum do ke siwah koi hain? Nahi naa, ofcoruse tumko hi bola maine. Aur main kyun kachori ke liye puchu? Kya tumne pucha mujhse?Train me chadte hi tum jo maze se wo mathri, pakode, parathe thuse jaa rahi thi, tab laga tha tumhe ki koi aur bhuka jeev bhi hain tumhare saath?"

Pooja gave a smile to him and said

"Accha badi jaldi pata chal gaya tha aapko ki saath mein safar kar rahe hain hum dono? Rahi baat mere mathri, pakode aur paratho ki, jo tumko lagta hain maine bin tumse puche kha liye, toh mujhe yeh batao kisne bola tha us waqt ladkiyo ki madad karne wale mashiha bane ke liye? Jao aur karo madat unki. Main toh puchne hi wali thi tumse, ki tum hi usi waqt udate udate gaana gate huye chale gaye the un sabki help karne 'Jab bhi koi ladki dekhun, mera dil deewana bole, ole, ole."

Harshad gulped his kachori, cleaned his hand, called for the vendor who was selling tea at 3'o clock, ordered for four cups of tea and said

"Main gana gaau ya naagin dance karu? Tumhe isse kya? Tumko mere liye rakhna chahiye tha naa, tumne rakha kyun nahi? Ab main bhala insaan, kisi bhi ladki ko aise udaas nahi dekh sakta to chala gaya tha help karne, toh yeh lo pakdo chai, agli station pe kuch accha sa kha lenge."

Pooja, who was feeling hungry, immediately bobbed her head and said

"Waise idea bura nahi hain. Naagin dance kar sakte ho tum. Time pass ho jayega humara aaram se. Aur kisne kaha tumhe ki maine tumhare liye kuch rakha nahi hain? Itni bhi buri nahi hun main ki jo saath mein hain uske khane pine ka khyal na rakhu. Mathri bacha ke rakhi hain maine tumhare liye, socha jab chai piyenge tab de dungi main tumhe. Aur ab jab puch hi liya hain tumne chai ke liye, toh ruko main mathri nikalti leti hun mere main bag se."

Harshad, got charged up, with the news of Mathri. He rubbed his hand in anticipation, paid the vendor for tea and sipped his drink. While Pooja sat beside him and offered him Mathri. Within an hour or two they reached their destination kalka, but the gossip they did on tea, created a beautiful bond between them.

While Pooja and Harshad was about to reach, a new storm was awaiting for Neeksha. Virat, sneaked in Neeksha's room, opening the lock with a knife. He look at her with hunger in his eyes, rubbed his lips with his thumb and lied down on the bed adjacent to her keeping one hand under his head

He licked his lips, and thought

"Kya nazaara hain. Mauka bhi hain dastur bhi, par thoda sa sabar karna padega tumhe Neeksha. Pichli baar ki har adhuri khwahish ko, main ab tumse pura karunga aur woh bhi baki sab ke aane se pehle."

He smirked and sat on his bed, while eyeing her from top to bottom and again thought

"Aaj tak samajh nahi paa raha tha main ki, aisa kya hain tum me jo us Siddharth ne tumhe chuna. Aaj samjh me aaya, itni khubsurat ladki ke liye , duniya bhulana galat nahi hain. Par is baar tum meri banogi. My keep. Jise jab chahe tab istemaal kiya jaa sake. Bahut sataya hain naa tumne mujhe, ab satane ki baari meri."

He slowly, with predators step, moved towards her, removed a hair from her face, looked intently towards her and said

"Yeh tumhare rashile honth, inpe sirf mera naam hoga. Tumhari madhur awaz, is se tum sirf mera naam chillaogi. Yeh tumhare komal se haath, yeh istemaal honge sirf mujhe chune ke liye. Jis haath se tumne kabhi mujhe thappad maara tha Neeksha, usi haath ko jodne par majbur kar dunga tumhe.

Bheekh mangogi tum apni rihayee ke liye mujhse. Jin hontho se tum thukti thi mujhpe, un hontho me bas vinti hogi. Jis awaz ki guroor se tum mere against awaz uthati thi, woh sirf mujhse maafi mangne ke liye nikla karegi."

He then moved towards the edge of the bed and whispered

"Bahut so liya tumne, aur bahut jag liya maine. Bas aaj ki raat aur so lo Neeksha. Kal se itna tadpaunga tumhe ki sona kya, khud ko aaine mein dekhne se bhi katraogi. Aur yeh vaada hain Virat Oberoi ka."

But before he could say or do anything more, a noise from outside made everyone alert. He checked his watch and saw its already dawn. He immediately left when Neeksha opened her eyes and saw someone went out of her room.

She ran to check and saw the lock was open. She opened the door and heard a whistling sound near her room, but no one was there. Her body was covered with goosebumps, weather was not chilly, yet she felt cold, as if a chilly breeze passed through her.

But what made her more restless was that tune she thought

"Dev? Nahi nahi Niks, aisa kaise ho sakta hain? Abhinav sir ke rehte huye Dev yahan kaise aa sakta hain? Kabhi nahi. Agar aisa hota, woh pakka mujhe warn karte. Par mujhe uske aas paas hone ka ehsaas kyun ho raha hain? 

Aisa kyun lag raha hain jaise uske gande haathon ne mujhe chua ho. Aisa kyun lag raha hain jaise ki meri saari khushiyan kisine cheen li ho? Kahin Naina, Pooja ko toh? Niks subah subah aisi manhus baatein nahi sochte hain. Rajveer aur Harshad hain na un do k saath? Woh dono dekh lenge. 

Maa durga kabhi apne baacho ko itni bade daldal me phasne nahi dengi. Aur Neeksha, tu aise darr nahi sakti hain. Koi awaz, koi insaan, tujhe dara nahi sakta hain. Naa tab tujhe koi dara paya tha, naa ab dara payega. 

Aag hain neeksha, jala ke rakh kar dungi. Koi Nishtha nahi jo khud jal jaye dusro ke liye balidan karne mein. Is baar naa main haarungi, naa mere apno ko usse haarne dungi, is baar maut aur haar dono unhi ke hisse hogi aur naa is baar koi mere apno ko chot pahucha payega. 

So Mr. Dev, if you are here only, your whistling provoked me, and i challenge you, dum hain to Neeksha ko rok ke dikhao."

With this she moved to read her Durga strotum and get ready for the day.

While on Delhi everything was going against the flow, here with a new day, a new search begins for Yuvraj. The day when he spotted Shree in front of Jalmahal, he was searching in every nooks and corners of Jaipur for her.

After searching for hours, finally he got the address of Ahluwaliya's,  Mr. Naren Ahluwaliya, owner of a chartered firm and other businesses. Yuvraj immediately ordered his men to reach the spot and he, himself went to meet.

Naren, father of Meher and uncle of Naina and Yug, was getting ready for the day when the bell rang. Era who was busy in her morning aarti, moved towards the door to open it.

After seeing unknown faces, she called her husband, Naren was expecting this uninvited guest, so moved towards the door to check, gestured his wife to leave and asked

"Yes? How may I help you?"

Yuvraj show him a sketch of Naina and asked

"Yeh aapki hi beti hain na? Usdin humne unhe aapke saath dekha tha. Actually hum unke purane dost hain, school ke, bahut saalon se unse koi contact nahi tha, address bhi bhul gaye the. Aaj jab unhe dekha to socha milke jaate hain. Can you please call her."

He tried to peep-in inside the house, but Naren kept his hand on the door and said sternly

"Humare ghar me bas ek beta hain, jo Berlin me rehta hain. Humari koi beti nahi hain. You all can leave."

He shut the door, wiped his forhead and called someone saying

"Tum sahi the, woh aaye the, dhundte huye. Jaise kahan tha tumne waise bol diya hain. Fikar mat karo. She is safe."
