Karan's POV:
I still can't believe she again misunderstood me... I know I hide the truth from them... But it is because I don't want to trouble them... I know If I had told them then they don't let me go... But Mahira she didn't understand me, she didn't even give me a chance to speak...
Why Mahira, why you just can't trust me... I was crying, first because I lost her today, I can't meet her because of guilt... I lost his friendship today... And now I lost my love because she didn't trust me... Why, why only me, why the people I love, leave me alone... Why???... I just can't take this anymore... I took my jacket and went outside, when I saw everyone was still in the living room... They didn't saw me... But I heard them talking...
Prithvi: now you understand Janvi, why I didn't show interest in sending Karan and Mahira together in the hot air balloon... Just because of this... I didn't want him to get hurt again... Mahira, Karan is a nice guy... Why you didn't want to understand that... Why you always hurt him... Already, he has suffered a lot in his life... Please for god sake please don't hurt him... If you hurt him again I will forget that you are Janvi's sister and my friend...
Janvi: I am sorry Prithvi... I will make sure ki Karan dobara hurt na ho...
I went to them... I ignored them and was going outside when Janvi asked me...
Janvi: Karan kaha jaa rahe ho???...
Karan: bahar... I want to be alone for sometime...
Prithvi: but it's cold outside Karan... You will fall ill...
Karan: I will be fine... Don't worry... Aur ha koi humare piche nahi aayega...
Prithvi: par...
I glare at him and said...
Karan: Humne kaha koi bhi humare piche nahi aayega... Am I clear...
He nodded... I saw Mahira, she saw me in guilt and teary eyes... I went outside... I sat in the bench and thinking each and every incidents in my life... Why always I had to suffer... I was lost in my thoughts when I saw a cup of black coffee in front of my eyes... I said...
Karan: Humne kaha tha koi humarey piche nahi aayega... Phir kyu...
I lift my face and saw Mahira... She was holding the cup of coffee, one for me and one for her... I said...
Karan: I don't want it...
Mahira: mera gussa coffee par kyu nikal rahe ho...
Karan: hum aapse gussa nahi hai...
Mahira: really then take it... Waise bhi ye tumhari night wali coffee hai...
I take it from her... And was taking the sip of the coffee, when she said...
Mahira: Karan mai...
Karan: agar sorry kehna chahti hai toh please don't...
Mahira: Karan please, I know I don't deserve your friendship... But please at least khud ko toh punish mat karo... I can't see you like this...
Karan: Mahira jo kuch bhi hua hum srif uske bare me nahi sooch rahe hai... Aaj ke din humare life me bhut kuch hua hai... I just can't forget those incidents... I know I shouldn't have shout on you... But I... I just...
Mahira: Karan please dusro ki galti me khud ko blame karna band karo... I know I should have trusted you, but that time when I saw you with Arishfa... I was just couldn't control my anger... I am sorry...
Karan: Humne kaha na aapki galti nahi hai... Humne hi kisiko bhi nahi bataya iss deal ke barey me... Because I know you guys will stop me... Aur humne Arishfa se promise kiya tha... Aur humney srif woh pendent aapse wapas li hai, because you didn't trust me... I didn't break our friendship... I will give you that pendent when you will trust me completely without any questions...
Mahira: tum itne acche kyu ho Karan... You didn't blame me for anything... You are so understanding...
Karan: kyunki hummey lagta hai ki jo kuch bhi hua uske piche galti situation ki hai... Mahira humne humari life me bhut se rishte khoye hai, I have lost friendship of two people in my life... Ab humme kisi bhi rishte ko khone ki ya toodne ki himmat nahi hai... Aur waise bhi aapse friendship toodne se behtar hai ki hum apni jaan de de...
She puts her hand on my mouth... And said...
Mahira: dobara aisa kaha na toh mai... mai...
She hug me tightly and said...
Mahira: I can't afford to loose you...
I break the hug and said...
Karan: why Mahira, why you can't afford to loose me...
She was looking here and there as if searching for an answer... Then she said...
Mahira: because you are my friend...
Karan: hummey aisa kyu lag raha hai Mahira ki aap apne answer se satisfy nahi hai...
She look at me then I smile and said...
Karan: it's too late... Let's go inside... It's too cold here...
She nodded and we both were about to go inside when our friends came outside... And Janvi asked...
Janvi: all's well between you two...
We both saw each other and nodded yes... They smile and Jai said...
Jai: OK so bhut hua ye roona dhona... Let's have some fun...
Karan: fun... Matlab???...
Rimi: CAMPFIRE.... (She shout)...
Jai: Rimi dheere... Everyone will be wake up...
We all laugh... We all burned the campfire, and sit there... Janvi said...
Janvi: so who will start...
Prithvi: Karan... He will sing song...
Karan: what hum par...
Prithvi: Karan I know you sings very well... I have bring your guitar... Come on sing...
I took the guitar and asked...
Karan: which song???...
Janvi: jo bhi tumhe accha lage...
I saw Mahira... She gave me her beautiful smile and I smile at her and starts sing...
Tu Dhoop Sunahri Fizayon Mein
Rehti Ho Meri Duyaon Mein
Tu Dhoop Sunahri Fizayon Mein
Rehti Ho Meri Duyaon Mein
Tera Naam Jis Lamhe Mein Lu
Behad Mile Aaram Hai
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Aawara Shaam Hai, Ho Oh O
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Awara Shaam Hai
I saw Baujiraj and Janvi and Jai an Rimi was dancing... I smile and continue sing the song...
Tu Dhoop Sunahri Fizayon Mein
Rehti Ho Meri Duyaon Mein
Tera Naam Jis Lamhe Mein Lu
Behad Mile Aaram Hai
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Aawara Shaam Hai, Ho Oh O
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Awara Shaam Hai
I saw Mahira... She was lost in the song...
Jabtak Tera Chehra Utre Na
Meri Aakho Mein
Tabtak Na Meri Subaha Hoti Hai
Ho Oh O Jabtak Tera Chehra Utre Na
Meri Aakho Mein
Tabtak Na Meri Subaha Hoti Hai
She looks at me... We share a small eye lock...
Jabtak Teri Khusbu Bikhre Na
Meri Saanso Mein
Tabtak Dhadkan Bhi Khoi Rahti Hai
Teri Hansi Har Raaho Mein
Mahfoos Dil Teri Baanho Mein
Tera Naam Jis Lamhe Mein Lu
Behad Mile Aaram Hai
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Aawara Shaam Hai, Ho Oh O
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Awara Shaam Hai
I look into her eyes... Actually I drown into her chocolaty brown eyes...
Meri Nazar Dekho Zara
Isme Kahi Hai Ghar Tera
Rashta Bhi Tu, Manjil Bhi Tu
Ik Humsafar Hai Bas Mera
Subaha Meri Aur Raat Bhi
Doobi Hai Teri Nigaho Mein
Tera Naam Jis Lamhe Mein Lu
Behad Mile Aaram Hai
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Aawara Shaam Hai, Ho Oh O
Teri Hi Galiyon Mein
Awara Shaam Hai
They all claps for me... I said thank you to them... When Jai said...
Jai: I am damm sleepy...
Prithvi: me too...
Karan: OK let's go... Good night everyone...
With that we all went to sleep...
Next Morning:
I wake up when Baujiraj wakes me up and said...
Prithvi: ye lijiye...
He gave me a box... Well I know what it is... I take it and open it...
Karan: great...
Prithvi: toh attack aaj hoga???...
Karan: aaj hum sab Rohtang Pass jane wale hai... It's our last destination... So I think yes... Attack aaj hi hoga... Anyways hum ready ho jatey hai... Tab tak aap isse rakhiye...
I went to the washroom, take a quick shower, wear my clothes and come back... But Baujiraj was not there... Where is he???... Then I heard a sound of gun shot... What the hell happened... Kahi attackers ne yahi attack toh nahi kar diya... I went to the living room and saw Baujiraj was standing there... I went to him and said...
Karan: did you shot the bullet... Arrey limited bullets hai don't waste it on practice...
Prithvi: humne nahi chalaya hai...
Karan: toh phir kisne???...
He points towards my back... I turned around and saw Mahira... She was holding the gun... I went towards her and said...
Karan: Mahira aapko gun chalana aata hai???...
Mahira: ha bapu sa ne mujhe sikhaya hai... Woh toh mujhe hand to hand fighting bhi sikhana chahate teh but mujhe usme koi interest nahi tha... Now I think I should have learned that also... Agar maine sikh liya hota na toh uss Randhir ki band toh mai akele hi baja deti...
I don't believe this kya ye wohi Mahira hai jinhe hum jante hai... I smile...
Jai: par bapu sa ne mujhe toh nahi sikhaya... Not fair...
Janvi: ha aur mujhe toh pata hi nahi hai ki tujhe gun chalana aata hai... Kya baat hai...
All of a sudden an idea pops into my mind and I said...
Karan: Mahira aapko gun chalana aata hai na acchi tarah se???...
Mahira: of course I never miss my target...
Karan: great take this...
I handed her a gun...
Mahira: wow it's so pretty...
She hold the gun... But I can't able to give her the gun... She said...
Mahira: Karan give it to me...
Prithvi: Mahira, Karan aapko apna gun nahi apna crush de rahe hai... It's his favourite gun... Ye na kisiko bhi iss gun ko touch karna toh dur deakhne bhi nahi dete...
Karan: Because you have a bad eye on it...
Prithvi: bad eye... Humne srif ek baar practice ke liye manga tha aapse... Aur waise bhi aap isse chalate kaha hai... Showpiece bana kar rakh diya hai...
Mahira: par kyu... If you didn't use it then it will be of no use...
Karan: why it will be of no use... I always clean and use it once in a month...
I take the gun and kiss it and said...
Karan(in a baby voice): I will miss you...
They all brust into laughter... I give them death glare... I give the gun to Mahira and said...
Karan: Mahira jab tak jaruri na ho please don't use it please...
Mahira: why you love this gun so much???...
Prithvi: because someone special has gifted it to him...
Mahira: who???...
Karan: my childhood friend... anyways let's go...
With that we went outside...
End Of POV
They all went to Rohtang Pass...
They all were roaming there, playing in the snow... But Karan and Prithvi was very tensed... They were talking with each other...
Karan: ye last destination hai...
Prithvi: toh aapko doubt hai ki attack aaj hi hoga???...
Karan: I am sure about it... Aap Janvi, Mahira, Jai aur Rimi ke saath rahiyega... Protect them... Tab tak hum deakhte hai ki ye attackers hai koun...
Prithvi: no I can't leave you alone...
Karan: woh sab humare dost hai... Agar hum dono ki wajah se unhe kuch ho gaya toh kya hum dono khud ko kabhi maaf kar payenge...
Prithvi knew that he is right... He just nodded his head and went to them... Karan went from there in search of the attackers... Prithvi went towards them with a fake smile... When Mahira asked him...
Mahira: Karan kaha hai...
Prithvi: woh ghar se call aa gaya tha... Toh woh baat karne gaye hai... Yaha network problem hai na isiliye...
Janvi: waise Prithvi aaj ye guns lekar kya kar rahe teh tum dono???... Yaha tak ki Karan ne Mahira ko gun diya... Sab thik hai na???...
Jai: yeah I also want to ask you this???...
Rimi: ha Prithvi, tum par koi attack toh nahi hone wala hai na???..
Prithvi: Arrey nahi aise koi baat nahi hai... We always carry a gun with us... For security purposes... Aur aaj Mahira ne kaha ki unhe bhi gun chalana aata hai toh Karan ne unhe gun diya because you guys are our friends... Agar humari wajah se aap me se kisiko kuch bhi ho gaya toh, We will never forgive ourselves... Bas isiliye... Anyways chaliye uss taraf...
They went on the other direction...
Mahira's POV:
They all were enjoying, but I was tensed... I don't know why but I senses something wrong... I think Prithvi is lying... Tension is clearly visible in his face... I hold Janvi's hand and dragged her far from them... She said...
Janvi: kya hua???...
Mahira: tujhe nahi lagta ki Prithvi kuch pareshan hai... Karan bhi abhi tak nahi aaya... It shouldn't take so long to talk to his family... Something is wrong...
Janvi: mujhe bhi aise hi lagta hai... I can see tension on his face...
Mahira: I am going to find Karan... You take care of Prithvi... If he ask you something then tell him that I have gone to the washroom...
Janvi: OK...
I went from there in search of Karan... After sometime I found him... He was on the edge of the mountain... Oh no!!! He was fighting with some goons... I went near him... I saw he was punching a man... Suddenly another man who was behind him, was about to shot him but I bring out my gun and shot him on his arm... He fell down... Karan saw me, he punch that guy on his stomach... He fell down... He came to me and said...
Karan: Mahira aapko yaha nahi aana chahiye tha... Go from here...
Mahira: no I can't leave you here in danger...
Karan: Mahira life me bas ek baar kya aap humari baat nahi maan sakti...
Mahira: Karan tum...
He saw another side and shout...
Karan: MAHIRA...
He pushed me, I fall on the ground and a guy hit him on his head with a hockey stick... He stumbled a bit... And another guy kick him on his chest and he fall from the cliff... I was numb... It's all happened in a blink of an eye... I couldn't able to understand what just happened... The goons ran away from there... I ran to the edge of the mountain, after regaining my senses and fell on my knees... Tears were continuously flowing from my eyes... I shout...
Mahira: KARAN!!!.....
